Because the bureau chief did not bother to complain in front of the chairman of the committee like Zhongtong did, the bureau chief was severely reprimanded by the chairman of the committee many times for causing troubles and fights. Some so-called discerning people just felt that the Bureau had suffered an unreasonable disaster, but they did not know that the committee members had already developed a grudge against the Bureau. When the military unification headquarters moved from Nanjing to Wuhan, the Chairman of the Generalissimo had sent people to the army unification headquarters. The bureau chief didn't want to but was reacted and sent people directly to the intelligence station in the enemy-occupied area.
The excuse the bureau chief made at the time was that although the intelligence stations in enemy-occupied areas looked dangerous, the chances of meritorious service and awards were greater than those at the Military Command Headquarters. As long as they made meritorious service and received awards, he could justifiably transfer people back to the Military Command Headquarters. By the way, There are also opportunities for promotion. But none of them expected that the few people the Chairman had originally arranged to enter the military unification headquarters would all die in the subsequent encirclement and suppression by the Japanese and puppet secret services. Although the Chairman did not say anything, he could not help but have bad thoughts in his heart. Coupled with the false accusations and secret reports from the Chen brothers, the Chairman now felt that the bureau was a bit too big to lose.
"What's so strange about this! The military command is a privileged department. In addition, the bureau chief's measures to suppress the military command are harsh, and the people under his command can't help but have gaps in their minds! In addition, the Chen brothers belong to the four major families. As long as they are wooed a little, the military commander can There will be people inside who are willing to be the knife in their hands! The bureau chief has been in charge of the military for many years. Although he has made great contributions, he will still be regarded as a person who has made great achievements and shakes the master! In addition, the chairman is suspicious by nature. If there are more people around him, With just a few words, it is inevitable that the Chairman will seek an opportunity to suppress the Chairman!"
In the study room in the backyard of the Tang family, Tang Cheng was talking, leaning back in his chair with a comfortable look on his face. Hans and Zhang Jianghe were sitting opposite and to the left of Tang Cheng respectively. Early this morning, it started to rain outside. Zhang Jianghe, who was not in the mood to go to work, simply called and lied about taking leave because he was sick, and hid in Tang's house to eat hot pot. Halfway through the hot pot meal, Hans also came to the Tang family. The three of them were now in Tangcheng's study, talking about the current situation in Chongqing.
It was Zhang Jianghe who took the initiative to tell the news that the bureau chief had been reprimanded by the chairman of the committee. Compared with Hans' confusion, Tang Cheng seemed to understand the purpose of the chairman's move better. "You mean that the Chairman is now following the path of the ancient emperors?" Zhang Jianghe interrupted Tang Cheng. While looking sideways at Tang Cheng, Zhang Jianghe's brows furrowed slightly. "But the war is still going on now. Although the Japanese army has mobilized a lot of troops to go south to South Asia, the war ahead is still in a stalemate. It's not time to let go of Nanshan yet!"
"What are you talking about? What is the way of ancient emperors? What is Ma Fang Nanshan?" The extraordinary and lonely Hans also spoke up. Although he has been in China for many years, he is not familiar with some of the words used in the words of the two people in Tangcheng. , he still couldn’t understand the profound meaning of these words. After looking at Zhang Jianghe, Tang Cheng patiently explained the meaning of these words to Hans.
"If you tell a foreigner this, will he understand it?" Hans nodded from time to time with half-understanding, which made Zhang Jianghe laugh. Time passed slowly while the three people in Tangcheng were talking and joking. After lunch, the rain slowly stopped. Zhang Jianghe took a day off, so he didn't go to work in the afternoon. Hans was bored and took Zhang Jianghe to the river to fish. Only Tang Cheng wandered around the city in the afternoon.
Tang Cheng is now very unconcerned about Operation Index, because except for himself, everyone else in the direct action team was transferred from the military command. Tang Cheng first walked around the small street where he lived, but found nothing unusual, and then followed the flow of people to the south of the city. When Tang Cheng was in charge of the search team, he conducted many searches in the south of the city. However, the command of the search team was transferred to the second department, and the chaos in the south of the city returned to its previous state.
The south of the city is still chaotic, which makes it more suitable for people from three religions and nine streams to hang out here. Among these people, there will inevitably be a few Japanese and puppet spies mixed in. Entering the south of the city, there are a lot of scoundrel-looking guys on the street. Most of the people who can open shops and do business in the south of the city have backgrounds. These gangsters don't dare to provoke the store owners, so they can only pick on passers-by. Tang Cheng didn't dress like a rich kid today, and he didn't look too old, so those gangsters just glanced at Tang Cheng and immediately lost interest.
Tang Cheng looks young and wears ordinary clothes, so he is mistakenly thought to have no luck. Tang Cheng, who was underestimated, was not angry at all. He just smiled in his heart and ignored these gangsters. After walking through the intersection in front of him, Tang Cheng paused and pretended to avoid the cart in front of him, but in reality he was looking around with the corner of his eye. There were all kinds of passers-by at the intersection, both male and female. Tang Cheng didn't notice anything unusual. After the cart in front of him passed by, Tang Cheng walked straight through the intersection and walked into the opposite street.
Tang Cheng is very familiar with the south of the city and knows that there is a teahouse in the street opposite. If there is a place with the most news, the answer is this teahouse in a busy city. Tang Cheng was wearing ordinary clothes today, and his face had been disguised in advance. Even if he met an acquaintance from the past in the teahouse, as long as they didn't deliberately sit facing each other, I believe no one would recognize Tang Cheng. This is not the best time for teahouse business, so there are not many people in the teahouse. When I walked into the teahouse, I only saw two tables of mahjong and a few individual customers.
Tang Cheng casually ordered two snacks and a pot of tea, chose a seat where he could see the teahouse door at a glance, and then read the newspaper while drinking tea. Tang Cheng sat in the teahouse for almost half an hour, and there were gradually more and more people in the teahouse. While observing the situation in the teahouse, Tang Cheng listened to what the tea guests were saying. Soon, he Just waiting for the target.
The target that Tang Cheng noticed was a middle-aged man with a beard. This man looked like a martial artist, but he sounded like a learned man. Sitting with this bearded man was a man and a woman. Although the conversation between the three of them was just about family affairs, Tang Cheng felt that this man was very strange. Tang Cheng, who faced Japanese and puppet spies all day long, trusted his instincts very much, so he planned to keep an eye on the bearded man today.
There were not many people in the teahouse. Gradually, the content of the conversation between the bearded man and the man and woman changed. When Tang Cheng heard the bearded man say that his third uncle would come to Chongqing tomorrow, he glanced at the pair of women subconsciously, but suddenly found that the face of the woman who heard this was not happy, but... An expression of ecstasy and worry. Ecstasy and worry are opposites. These two expressions will appear on a person's face at the same time, which immediately attracted Tang Cheng's attention.
Half an hour later, the man and woman got up and left the teahouse first. Tang Cheng did not react when he saw this. Instead, after the man and woman left for a while, he got up and walked out of the teahouse before the bearded man. Crossing the street to buy cigarettes in Tangcheng opposite, I just counted to 20 silently in my heart, and the bearded man came out of the teahouse. Seeing that Tang Cheng didn't notice him, Tang Cheng, who got the cigarettes from the street vendor, quietly followed the bearded man along the street.
Tang Cheng now recalled the conversation between the three men with the beard, and he realized that the third uncle mentioned by the beard man was more like a code name. Since the third uncle will come to Chongqing tomorrow, and these words were said by the bearded man, Tang Cheng thought that as long as he followed this guy, he could figure out whether the third uncle was who he suspected. The bearded man did not realize that he had been followed, perhaps out of habit. The bearded man also made several counter-reconnaissance moves along the way, which made Tang Cheng believe in his judgment even more.
The last place the bearded man went was in the south of the city, which was a large courtyard. Looking at the expression on the bearded man's face when talking to other residents in the courtyard from a distance, Tang Cheng felt that this guy might have lived here for many days. After secretly using system skills to target the bearded man, Tang Cheng didn't go too far, and he didn't even think about calling for support. After the bearded man returned to the courtyard, he did not come out again. According to the prompts given by the system, the bearded man returned to his residence and stayed in the room.
As time went by, Tang Cheng found that he had encountered a problem. It was still early, and it was still early before dark. Could it be that he had been stuck here forever! Tang Cheng, who was originally prepared to investigate independently, had no choice but to find a place to make a phone call and called his team members to come over and continue to stare at the bearded man. More than half an hour passed quickly, and the team members who received the call also rushed over, and Tang Cheng immediately informed them of the situation.
"The target still has accomplices in the city. According to what they talked about before, they will have accomplices coming to Chongqing tomorrow! So, your task now is to keep an eye on this bearded man! As long as you bite him , his other accomplices in the city can't escape either!" As Tang Cheng spoke, he did not forget to look around at everyone. He had made the purpose of the mission very clear, and I believe that the team members he called would not dare to neglect.
These members of the direct action team were all from the military command headquarters. They had followed Tangcheng and captured Japanese spies in the city. Naturally they knew that the young captain in front of them had the ability and background, so they did not dare to violate Tangcheng. "Captain, don't worry, everyone has seen the target's portrait, and we will never lose sight of the target!" Faced with Tang Cheng's scrutinizing gaze, an older member of the team immediately made a promise.
Tang Cheng just nodded lightly when he heard this, "Okay, I'll leave this to you. I'm going to investigate the place where they met before." The team members who were called by Tang Cheng would never have imagined that Tang Cheng's last words were just casual. Said. Tang Cheng was not going to investigate the case at all. He just didn't want to waste time here. Instead of staying here and wasting time, it was better to go home and eat.
