Entering Tangcheng in the concession, he had already entered the public concession according to his previous memory. He still vaguely remembered that Xu Huanshan was hiding in a shoe store in the public concession that day. Tang Cheng, who has no clue about Shanghai's underground party organization, can only follow the traces left by Xu Huanshan and start a search in the public concession. But in this way, Tangcheng not only has to avoid the large number of plainclothes spies and gang members in the concession, but also avoid being discovered by the underground party members.
Throughout the morning, Tang Cheng wandered around the concession. If he hadn't been worried that he would be discovered by the plainclothes agents in the concession, he might have wandered around the concession for the second time. Tangcheng doesn't know now that, like the Military Reunion Shanghai Station, Shanghai's underground party organizations have also entered a period of silence. In other words, if Tang Cheng, who is in the concession, does not use system skills, he may not be able to find any trace of the Shanghai underground party at all. After wandering around Tangcheng for a whole morning, I felt very helpless at this moment. The shoe store where Xu Huanshan stayed had already changed its sign and owner.
Seeing that it was time for lunch, Tang Cheng simply gathered in the public concession and found a restaurant to eat. As for finding Shanghai's underground party organization, it was definitely more important than filling his stomach. The teahouse established in Chongqing was a news distribution center, and in Shanghai, this small street restaurant served the same function. Tang Cheng had just ordered the food when he heard the guests at the next table talking in low voices about what happened in Hongkou District. Tang Cheng listened silently for a while. He couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. He didn't know that what happened in Hongkou District had been turned into a fairy tale.
What's more, what makes Tang Cheng puzzling is that several of his actions in the concession were all in the name of Jin Yiwei, but why did the people in the concession avoid talking about it? Tang Cheng then continued to listen to the discussions of the diners in the restaurant while eating, until two men in short shirts came in from the outside, and the diners who were chatting animatedly fell silent instantly. These two men in short shirts looked like gang members active in the concession. Looking at the reactions of the diners, Tang Cheng frowned slightly.
These two gang members who didn't know that Big Fish was around them, after they entered and sat down, they ordered a table of dishes while the diners, who were worried about getting into trouble, got up to pay and leave. Tang Cheng's table was in the corner of this small restaurant, and the two gang members were sitting in the center of the restaurant. While they were waiting for Niuyan to look around, they saw Tang Cheng sitting in the corner looking tender. And he just lowered his head to eat, so he didn't pay too much attention to Tangcheng.
Tang Cheng's meal was only halfway through, and the other diners in the small restaurant had already left. However, there were still three guests, two men and one woman, sitting near the restaurant counter. When Tang Cheng came in from the outside, he first noticed the two men and one woman, especially the older middle-aged man, who looked like a practicing master at first sight. Tang Cheng, who was just guessing at this moment, focused on the food on the table after his own meal was served. It seemed that Tang Cheng was just an ordinary person who came here to eat.
Tang Cheng didn't seem to pay direct attention to the other two tables of guests. In fact, while he was eating, he had been listening carefully to the whispered conversations of the guests at those two tables. The two men and one woman whom Tang Cheng noticed as soon as he entered the house must have come to Shanghai to visit relatives. Looking at the luggage they put under the table, Tang Cheng judged that these three people had not found any relatives. As for the two gang members, from their intermittent conversations, Tang Cheng already knew the identities of these two gangsters, but Tang Cheng was too lazy to deal with such little gangsters at the moment.
Because the target of his attention had not left, Tang Cheng did not eat very fast, but he never expected that after the two gang members had eaten for a while, the two drunken people suddenly turned their attention to Focus on the young woman. Seeing that things were starting to get out of control, the shopkeeper of the small restaurant hurriedly came out from behind the counter. While smiling at the two gang members, he hinted to the two men and one woman to check out and leave.
At this moment, Tang Cheng, who was sitting in the corner, also put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, pretending to wipe his mouth and quietly watching the development of the situation. Most of the shops that sell wheat in the concession are secretly related to the gangs in the concession. It is obvious that the same is true for this small restaurant. I don’t know what the shopkeeper of the small restaurant said to one of the men in short shirts. The man in short shirts who wanted to draw his gun actually pulled his companion and staggered out of the small restaurant with a dark face.
"I said three of you, you should leave quickly! Those two just now are not good people, and I heard they were working for the Japanese! Listen to my advice, you'd better leave as soon as possible, we are a small family As a small family, you can't afford to offend these indifferent guys." The shopkeeper of the small restaurant did not ask the two men and one woman for their meal. He just kept urging them to leave quickly, otherwise everything would be in trouble. The middle-aged man was still alert, and the restaurant manager's words made him frown, but he was not slow at all in packing away his things.
Seeing this scene, Tang Cheng did not get up to pay. He just quietly used the system skills to lock the middle-aged man first. After the other three left the restaurant with their luggage, Tang Cheng did not follow them out immediately. He even lit a cigarette, then stood up to pay and leave. When Tang Cheng walked out of the small restaurant, he happened to see a few men in short shirts coming towards this direction aggressively, led by the two gang members. Upon seeing this, Tang Cheng was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he stood on the side of the street and silently paid attention to the small restaurant not far from him.
What can the restaurant owner do if someone comes to his door? He will naturally report his backers and then take out the money to settle matters. Seeing that the restaurant was fine and Tang Cheng had been standing in front of the street shop, he walked eastward as if nothing had happened. After walking through two consecutive street intersections, Tang Cheng finally saw the backs of the two men and one woman. The two men and one woman who were tracked by Tang Cheng were standing outside a hotel door. From the looks of them, they seemed to want to stay in the hotel, but they didn't have enough money.
Tang Cheng, who discovered the other three, did not go over immediately. Instead, he turned and looked in the direction he came from. Fortunately, the men in short shirts who had left the restaurant had already walked to the left from the previous intersection. The two men and one woman standing outside the hotel, perhaps because they were short of money, actually walked further and further away from Tang Cheng's sight, and soon they walked through the street in front carrying their luggage. It would have been okay if the two men and one woman were going straight, but they turned left at the intersection in front of them. Tang Cheng was a little worried that they would encounter the gang members who chased them into the small restaurant.
Therefore, Tang Cheng carried the snacks he bought on the street and followed the two men and one woman from a distance. Tang Cheng followed the other three people through two consecutive street intersections, and did not notice that the three people in front of them had made counter-reconnaissance actions. This shows that the vigilance of these two men and one woman is not very high. Tang Cheng, who was following far behind, had just made this judgment when he noticed that the three people walking in front suddenly turned around and walked back. , and the speed of travel is not too slow.
Seeing this, Tang Cheng could only carry his own snacks and walked into the shop on the street. Before Tang Cheng could chat with the shop owner, Tang Cheng, who was standing in front of the shop window, saw the two men and one woman walking past at a slightly faster pace through the shop's street window. Tang Cheng in the store did not refuse the store owner's promotion. He simply took out the money and took the cowhide wallet from the store owner. "If you use it well, I will come to your place next time!" Tang Cheng, who was sent to the door by the shop owner, said goodbye to the shop owner in a normal voice while paying attention to the other end of the street with the corner of his eye.
Sure enough, the reason why the two men and one woman turned back earlier was not because of their sudden whim, but because those men in short shirts appeared at the other end of the street, led by the scar who was looking for trouble in the small restaurant. Face. Tang Cheng's target was just the two men and one woman, so after greeting the shop owner, he followed the direction in which the two men and one woman left. I don’t know if it was because the men in short shirts who appeared from the street direction did not find the two men and one woman, so they turned left again at the next intersection.
When Tang Cheng saw the two men and one woman again, he found that the three of them were standing outside the door of the previous hotel. There were many hotels in the concession. Tang Cheng didn't know why these three people had to stay in this hotel. Seeing the other three people entering the hotel and not coming out again, Tang Cheng knew that the other three people had already checked in, so he gave the snacks he was carrying to a street child, then crossed the street and walked away Entered this hotel.
Walking into the Tangcheng hotel, he directly opened the way with banknotes, and immediately asked the room numbers and names of the three people at the hotel counter. "Xu Qingning, Xu Qingyang, and Xu Ninggui, this is a family!" After seeing the names of the three people on the registration book, Tang Cheng tilted his lips and a smile appeared on his face. Xu Qingning and Xu Qingyang looked like they were siblings. That Xu Ninggui, that is, the middle-aged man, should be the elder or father of this young man and woman.
Tang Cheng, who confirmed the names and room numbers of the other three people, did not check into this hotel with them. He has now roughly guessed that the two men and one woman came to Shanghai, most likely to visit relatives or find someone, but judging from their current It seems that no one was found. Tang Cheng, who had not tried the opponent's skills yet, just regarded today's chance encounter as a small game. If the other three can be used for themselves, Tang Cheng will definitely arrange a future for them, but if the other party does not accept his goodwill, Tang Cheng can pretend that this has never happened.
