For a long time, senior officials of Chongqing's underground party organization have been speculating on the identity of this mysterious man. They initially thought that this mysterious man was Lone Goose hiding deep within Zhongtong, but the subsequent intelligence received by Huang Ping came from the Juntong side. As a result, they judged that this mysterious man was a secret agent within the military system. After repeated attempts, the senior officials of the underground party organization were so confused that they simply refused to guess the identity of the mysterious person.
And now, this mysterious man suddenly asked about Qi Dahai's situation. The senior officials of the Chongqing underground party organization who were busy planning to assassinate Qi Dahai once again had doubts about the identity of the mysterious man. One day later, Tang Cheng obtained information about Qi Dahai provided by Chongqing's underground party organization from under the water tank in Buzhuang's backyard. He now knew that Qi Dahai secretly defected to the Central Government. Since this man named Qi Dahai has defected to the Central Government, Tangcheng judged that this person should not show up in the short term.
That night, Tangcheng continued to explore several secret strongholds of Zhongtong in the city, but no trace of Qi Dahai was found. Is it possible that Qi Dahai is hidden in the Central Unification Headquarters? As soon as this idea came up, it was instantly rejected by Tang Cheng. Because he knew that there were also lurking members of the underground party in the Central Unification Headquarters. If Qi Dahai was hidden in the Central Unification Headquarters, it would be impossible for the Chongqing underground party not to know about this situation! After a night of unsuccessful searches, Tang Cheng broke into the residence of an operations team leader at the Central Unification Headquarters.
Tang Cheng used the other party's evidence of murder and robbery as a bargaining chip, and soon asked the guy about Qi Dahai's whereabouts. As expected, Qi Dahai, who had secretly surrendered to Zhongtong, was now hiding in a courtyard in the east of the city. After finding out the specific location, Tang Cheng simply didn't stop doing anything. He first killed the guy in front of him, and then headed straight to the east of the city under the cover of night. Qi Dahai was indeed hidden in the east of the city. This yard was recently acquired by the Zhongtong from an opium dealer. The courtyard, which occupies a small area, was guarded by more than a dozen of Zhongtong's operational experts.
Tang Cheng, who rushed to the east of the city, did not take action immediately, but observed the courtyard from a distance. Two hours passed quickly. Tang Cheng, who was crouching on a nearby roof with his eyes closed and resting, suddenly opened his eyes. It was already 2 o'clock in the morning, which was the best time to take action. Tang Cheng propped himself up on the roof, stretched out his arms, then activated his light body skill, lightly jumped off the roof, and soon disappeared into the night.
After about half a cigarette, Tang Cheng, dressed in black, appeared under the wall of the courtyard. Tang Cheng carefully leaned against the wall first and concentrated on listening to the movements inside the wall. After confirming that there was no dog in the yard, he took two steps back, then ran forward with all his strength, leaping up and already grabbing the top of the wall with his hands. Tang Cheng climbed up the wall without stopping, and jumped into the courtyard from the wall. The whole process was silent and did not make the slightest sound.
With both feet on the ground, Tang Cheng rolled forward to remove the force of his forward thrust, then shortened his stature and moved forward quickly with an awkward duck step. Although the duck move used by Tang Cheng at this moment looks ugly, this method of movement not only lowers the body so that it is not easily exposed, but also does not make any obvious noise when moving. After Tang Cheng dug into the yard, he discovered that the entire yard looked like a two-entry yard from the outside, but in fact the row of houses in the middle of the front and back yards had already been demolished and replaced by some messy debris.
Tang Cheng, who moved forward behind a pile of debris, finally stopped and began to carefully observe the situation in the yard. Perhaps because this place has been converted into a courtyard, the guards deployed here by the Central Government did not come out to patrol. They just smoked and chatted in several rooms to pass the time. There were still lights on in several rooms, and Tang Cheng, who was crouching behind the pile of debris, could clearly hear sounds coming out. Tang Cheng ignored the rooms where the guards gathered. After all, his only purpose here was to find Qi Dahai and kill him.
After looking around, Tang Cheng had to give up the whole idea temporarily because the other rooms in the yard were dark and he couldn't find Qi Dahai's exact location at all. In desperation, Tang Cheng, crouching behind the pile of debris, could only choose to continue waiting. As time passed slowly, the lights in several rooms in the courtyard that were originally lit were turned off one after another, and Tang Cheng soon heard the sound of snoring. Tang Cheng waited for a while to confirm that all the guards assigned by the Central Command had fallen asleep, and then came out from behind the pile of debris.
Tang Cheng had already remembered the rooms in the yard that had lights on before. He would avoid those rooms and focus on checking the remaining rooms. Tang Cheng originally thought that the next thing would go smoothly. After all, he had done sneak attacks in the dark many times. But what he didn't expect was that he would run into trouble in the first room he searched. The first room that Tang Cheng searched was in the northeast corner of the yard. Tang Cheng stretched out his hand to open the window, but suddenly his heart was agitated. The sudden heart palpitations made Tang Cheng pause in his movements.
Sure enough, after Tang Cheng took a closer look, he discovered that there was a thin line on the window, and a bell was connected to the other end of the thin line. If Tang Cheng had just reached out to push the window, he would have touched this thin line, and the bell connected to the other end of the thin line would make a sound. Tang Cheng, who was startled into a cold sweat, slowly retracted his hand. After secretly adjusting his breathing, he slowly stretched out his left hand to grasp the bell, and then tore off the thin thread with his right hand.
Hanging a wire and hanging a bell is a standard warning method in the rivers and lakes. Anyone who has been around the rivers and lakes all year round knows this trick. Mr. Ma also told Tang Cheng about this before, but he had already forgotten it. After tearing off the string and taking off the bell, Tang Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and slowly pushed open the window, then stepped on the window sill and climbed into the house through the window. Unfortunately, there was only one person in the room that Tang Cheng first explored, and that person was not the Qi Dahai he was looking for.
The bell that almost broke had already made Tang Cheng angry. Now that he found that there was no one he was looking for in the room he had gone to so much trouble, Tang Cheng became angry and became violent. Without even asking who was in the room, he broke the other person's neck and began to explore the room next door. Tang Cheng regretted at this moment that he used the powerful smoke he drew from the system too quickly, otherwise he wouldn't have to carefully explore every house now.
Qi Dahai was not found in any of the three rooms he explored in front of Tangcheng. It was not until he explored the fourth room that he encountered the trick of hanging the bell on a wire. Moreover, just after Tang Cheng climbed into the house from the window, the man sleeping on the bed suddenly woke up. The man who was not slow to react exclaimed and at the same time, he used his left hand to push the woman who was originally in his arms up from the bed and block her. In front of him, his right hand quickly reached under the pillow. Tang Cheng, who was originally only holding a short knife in his hand, could only quickly dodge to his left side and at the same time replaced the short knife in his hand with a pistol.
"Pa!" A gunshot rang out, and the man who had already stretched his right hand under the pillow shot a blood arrow from his arm. He screamed when the bullet hit his arm, and his originally tense body suddenly collapsed. Tang Cheng, who dodged and fired, let the woman fall to the ground beside him. He just took two steps forward with the pistol and pulled up the man who was lying on the bed. "Are you Qi Dahai?" Tang Cheng, who had already activated the triple eyepiece skill, could still clearly see the other person's appearance in the dark room.
Tang Cheng, who saw the other person's face clearly, ignored Qi Dahai's sophistry and begged for mercy. He put the pistol against the other person's head and shot him again, then turned around and left the door. From when Tang Cheng broke into the house, Qi Dahai screamed when he was awakened, to when Tang Cheng shot Qi Dahai to death, the whole process actually only took a few breaths. Even if the guards in the yard heard Qi Dahai's exclamation, by the time they rushed out of the house with pistols in hand, Tang Cheng was already standing quietly in the corner waiting for them with his pistol held flat.
A burst of rapid and rhythmic gunfire soon rang out. The guards who rushed out of the house were knocked down one by one by the oncoming bullets outside the door before they could even see the situation clearly. After killing Qi Dahai, Tang Cheng's goal tonight had been achieved, but he couldn't get enough of these guys' charlatanism, which almost caused his own action to fail. Moreover, Qi Dahai had shouted before, alerting the Zhongtong plainclothes guarding the place. Tangcheng was simply preparing to make a big fuss here, killing a few more Zhongtong agents and making the matter bigger.
The guards who rushed out of the room after hearing Qi Dahai's shouts were caught off guard and were shot down by Tang Cheng. The remaining guards retreated back into the room. At this time, they didn't know how many attackers there were. In panic, they could only shoot randomly from the doors and windows. Tang Cheng, who had already changed the magazine, was still standing quietly in the corner, with the muzzle of his gun pointing straight ahead of him.
After a dozen breaths, perhaps feeling that the attacker had stopped moving, a trembling guard slowly poked his head out of the door frame with a pistol in hand. After just a casual glance, the unlucky guy who was forced to step forward immediately turned his head back. After a few breaths, the guy was forced to stick his head out again. This time, he was still safe.
After two consecutive tests, the remaining guards thought that the attacker had left. Under the command of a small leader, the remaining guards rushed out of their respective rooms in a swarm. How could they let go of such a good opportunity in Tangcheng, which was waiting for them to appear? The pistol held flat in his hand fired another rapid gunshot.
