Tang Cheng waited until it was completely dark, but still did not hear any news from the military command headquarters. If the plainclothes military commanders in the guard yard had not brought water, Tang Cheng might have left here long ago with his suitcase. Just when Tang Cheng was almost half full, Zhang Jianghe arrived belatedly. However, Zhang Jianghe brought good news to Tang Cheng. Although the contents in the box came from the Kwantung Army's Bacteriological Research Institute, they were not The kind of thing Tang Cheng and Bureau Zuo guessed.
"Three of those captured alive have already been killed. According to the opinions given by the general hospital, we judge that these bottles contain only ordinary tuberculosis bacteria. The Japanese plan should be to use insider information to Spread these things quietly in key departments such as Nan'an Villa or the Ministry of Military Affairs. Because tuberculosis bacteria have an incubation period, it will not affect their evacuation and the implementation of follow-up plans." Having said that, after Zhang Jianghe sat down, he still said: The box at Tang Cheng's feet was a little worried.
After hearing this, Tang Cheng threw the chicken drumsticks in his hands back onto the plate, wiped off the oil stains on his hands, and then spoke. "What does bureau seat mean? Destroy these things, or hand them over? I've already spent the whole afternoon here. Do you want me to spend the night here?" Tang Cheng's mood was already extremely bad. He could not do it beforehand. Unexpectedly, just an ordinary arrest operation would completely trap him here, especially when the contents of this box were infectious and dangerous.
Tang Cheng, who retained the memory of later generations, knew that this tuberculosis bacteria could also be called tuberculosis virus, which was a highly contagious virus. Anyone who had been guarding something like this all afternoon would have felt uncomfortable. If Zhang Jianghe hadn't been sitting across from him at this moment, Tangcheng might have exploded long ago. Zhang Jianghe was also a little embarrassed now, because when he came out of the military command headquarters, the bureau chief did not express his position on the matter. In other words, Zhang Jianghe didn't know what to do now.
The helplessness in Zhang Jianghe's expression was clearly seen by Tang Cheng. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Uncle, you didn't even have a proper idea and just ran over here, right? Are you sick? This thing has Highly contagious! The reason why the bureau arranged for people to seal this place is to worry about the spread of the source of infection. Anyone who comes into contact with or is close to this box must undergo isolation inspection afterwards!" Tang Cheng's words sounded a bit excessive, and he even said Zhang Jianghe was sick, but Zhang Jianghe didn't get angry, he just looked at Tang Cheng quietly with an angry look on his face.
After a while, Zhang Jianghe, who had always been expressionless, suddenly grinned. His smile made Tang Cheng even angrier. After taking a few deep breaths, Tang Cheng forcibly controlled his emotions. After sitting down again, he raised his feet and stepped on the box beside the table. "What you just said is just your guess! When I went to Shanghai for the last time, I lurked in Hongkou District for a while. Next door lived an old Japanese man who worked in the Army Hospital, so I knew something about germs. .”
"If the tuberculosis bacteria is only attached to clothing, it is not very contagious, but if it is a purified product of this bacteria, it is a hundred times more contagious. You just said that you are also guessing about the things in the box, which means that the hospital There is no accurate answer. I have waited until now, and the person in the game has still no attitude, which means that he is powerless with the box of things, or he has been undecided. You said you came here now, didn't you? What’s an adventure?”
When Tang Cheng and Zhang Jianghe were choking here, they were still sitting in the office of the military command headquarters, but they frowned with hesitation on their faces. The few prisoners who were brought back had already begun to explain, but the reply from the hospital made the bureau hesitant. The military commander's intelligence station outside the customs had already received intelligence that the Kwantung Army was secretly researching bacterial weapons. But the military commanders had very little information on this kind of information. If Tang Cheng hadn't warned him, the bureau might not even know what was in the box.
The boss, who has a strong desire for control, hates this feeling of powerlessness, but the fact now is that no one told him what to do with the things in that box. The secretary's knock on the door interrupted the bureau chief's thoughts, and he realized that it was already dark outside the window. broken! Tang Cheng is probably still guarding that courtyard! The bureau chief came to his senses and immediately asked the secretary who knocked on the door to find Zhang Jianghe. However, he did not expect that Zhang Jianghe had already gone to the blocked courtyard alone because he was worried about Tang Cheng.
"This Zhang Jianghe is already a very old man, how come he is still so rough in doing things!" After hearing the news, the bureau chief couldn't help but cursed in a low voice. However, Zhang Jianghe's worry about Tang Cheng can be understood by the bureau chief. If it were him, he would have gone to Tang Cheng long ago. When he thought of Tang Cheng again in his mind, the director's heart moved. It was Tang Cheng who was the first to remind him that maybe Tang Cheng knew how to deal with the contents of that box!
Half an hour later, the director took a car and rushed to the street where the courtyard was located. After learning that Zhang Jianghe entered the courtyard and did not come out, the director got off the car and walked outside the courtyard gate. Because of Tang Cheng's insistence, the courtyard door was not opened, and the bureau chief could only talk to Tang Cheng through the plainclothes military commander guarding the courtyard door. "Go tell the bureau chief that regardless of whether the contents of this box are confirmed or not, these items are very dangerous. The only way I know to destroy these items is high temperature!"
After learning from Tang Cheng that high temperature could completely destroy the contents of the box, the bureau chief began to use his brain to figure out where in Chongqing city it could be used. The secretary who had been accompanying the bureau leader had just heard the conversation between the bureau leader and Tang Cheng. Seeing the bureau leader frowning, he stepped forward and whispered beside the bureau leader. "For the Bureau, if you are just looking for a place with high temperatures, many of the factories that were moved south from Shanghai have boilers."
"Boiler?" The bureau chief who was reminded by the secretary did not react for a moment, but the next second, the bureau chief became happy. Isn't the boiler just a source of high temperature? The secretary's suggestion was passed into the courtyard by the plainclothes military commander at the door. After thinking for a while, Tang Cheng gave his opinion. "A furnace?" The bureau chief frowned again after receiving the reply. Compared with the boilers in the factory, the furnaces mentioned by Tang Cheng have a higher temperature, but they are not easy to find either! So he immediately turned to look at the secretary who had just reminded him.
"The arsenal has a small furnace. When I followed you to inspect the southern suburbs arsenal last time, I saw that they had a small furnace there, which seemed to be used to smelt steel to make molds." The secretary, who was turned around and stared at by the bureau chief, immediately He understood what Bureau Zuo meant and hurriedly gave the answer. Ten minutes later, the bureau chief and his secretary stood far away on the street corner, watching Tang Cheng come out of the yard carrying a box, but Zhang Jiang and the plainclothes military officers guarding the yard did not follow him.
Now no one can be sure that the contents of the box in Tang Cheng's hand are harmless. According to Tang Cheng's opinion, the bureau chief is responsible for contacting the arsenal. The task of destroying the box can only be completed by Tang Cheng alone. Half an hour later, a convoy of three cars appeared in the southern suburbs. The car driven by Tang Cheng was at the back, and the bureau secretary who was the plenipotentiary representative of the bureau was in the first car.
After Tang Cheng came out of the yard carrying the box, the bureau chief not only called the Nanjiao Arsenal in person, but even sent someone to go to the arsenal in person with his warrant. So when Tang Cheng drove to the southern suburbs arsenal, all arrangements had been made. Except for the team of soldiers responsible for the defense of the arsenal, the entire southern suburbs arsenal was quiet. Accompanied by the escorting soldiers, Tang Cheng got out of the car and quickly appeared in the foundry workshop of the arsenal carrying a box.
"You can leave." Tang Cheng didn't care about the way these guards looked at him. Although his attitude was not friendly, it was for the benefit of these ordinary soldiers, because once they were involved in this matter, these ordinary soldiers might be transferred. From here, it is possible to be transferred to the frontline battlefield as soon as possible. The leader of the group was an experienced soldier. He seemed to sense something from Tang Cheng's expression. After his efforts to dissuade him, he finally calmed down the group of soldiers under him.
This small arsenal has always been operating 24 hours a day, so the small furnace in the casting shop has also been running. Tangcheng's own Zou Jun casting shop quickly found the location of the furnace. Fortunately, Tang Cheng's strength was far beyond that of ordinary people, otherwise he would have been unable to operate this small furnace by himself. After more than ten minutes, Tang Cheng, wearing a gas mask, destroyed all the items in the box.
Tang Cheng, who originally planned to erase all traces, finally threw the box, the gas mask and gloves he had worn into the furnace. He secretly calculated in his heart that he had not missed anything, and then turned around and came out of the foundry workshop. . Outside the gate of the arsenal, the bureau secretary and four plainclothes guards were already waiting for Tang Cheng to appear. Seeing Tang Cheng waving his left arm at them from a distance, the bureau secretary's heart finally settled.
When returning to the city, Tang Cheng still drove alone. Destroying the contents of the box was just the beginning. All personnel involved in the operation today must undergo 24-hour quarantine and observation. Those who have been in contact with the box will have to undergo a week of infection isolation, including Tang Cheng, Zhang Jiang and Cai Nei. Therefore, for the next week, Tang Cheng and Zhang Jianghe could only stay in the infectious disease ward of the hospital, and doctors and nurses would take blood tests every other day.
The matter of the box was also reported to the chairman at the insistence of the bureau chief. Knowing that Tang Cheng had been involved in this matter from beginning to end and was currently temporarily isolated in the hospital's infectious disease ward, the Chairman couldn't help but feel a little emotional. After learning about this, the chairman's wife even posted a series of posts, inviting Tangcheng's family to visit the South Bank Villa. Zhang Jianghe, who learned the news, also said with a smile that Tang Cheng was the only one who benefited from this matter.
