Tang Cheng knew that if he wanted to leave Shanghai, it was very unsafe to take the land route. Not only were there a large number of Japanese and puppet checkpoints along the way, but there were also Japanese troops along the way. Therefore, he still chose to leave Shanghai by water, but the dock was very tightly controlled by the Japanese and puppet spy agencies. Without Hans' help, it would be somewhat difficult for him to handle it. After thinking about it secretly, Tang Cheng decided to go to the manager of the German trading company, Hans's friend, for help.

Seeing that it was still early, Tang Cheng simply went to bed and rested for a while. After lunch, Tang Cheng lazily left the apartment. There were a little less pedestrians in the concession, and there seemed to be fewer plainclothes and gang members who could be seen everywhere before. However, Tang Cheng did not relax his vigilance. Attacks occurred continuously in the concession. According to Tang Cheng's understanding of the Japanese, they would never let such things go unnoticed. However, Tang Cheng could not yet guess what the Japanese's back-up plan was.

Tangcheng found a random restaurant to fill his stomach, and then walked eastward along the street. Unexpectedly, he only passed two blocks when he encountered a crowd of people gathered in front of him. Chinese people have the habit of watching the excitement, and this kind of thing is very common even in the concession. Tangcheng was bored, so he stepped forward to join in the fun. But before he could see clearly what was happening, he heard two gunshots, and then the passers-by in front of him began to run away.

Before there was no way to confirm the situation, Tang Cheng could only follow two passers-by and go into a shop on the street. Tang Cheng, who was last, didn't forget to turn around and glance at the situation behind him before rushing into the store door. I saw a young man with half of his face covered in blood. He was holding a pistol. He looked like he was going to fight for his life and looked a little crazy. After entering the store to take shelter, Tang Cheng finally learned the inside story through the conversation between the two passers-by and the store owner.

I dare say that the young man holding the pistol just now was shopping here with a beautiful girl, and he didn't want to meet a few gang members in the concession. I don’t know if those gang members were trying to take advantage of the girl, or if they were just looking for trouble. These gang members actually forcibly stopped the young man and woman in broad daylight. After the verbal disagreement between the two parties, a physical conflict ensued. The gang members who had the advantage in numbers would naturally not suffer.

The young man who was shocked took out his pistol and fired twice, knocking down the two gang members who attacked him. After finally figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, Tang Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, muttering secretly in his heart, thinking that this was nothing! Facts have proved that Tang Cheng kept things simple. Before he could leave the store, a large number of plainclothes agents appeared in the streets outside. Tang Cheng stood at the street window of the shop and looked out. He happened to see the young man who fired the gun. He was pointing at the plainclothes leader and yelling curses as if he was lecturing his third grandson.

This guy is not simple! Seeing this, Tang Cheng, who was still in the shop, subconsciously reached out and rubbed his chin. Tangcheng is very familiar with the virtues of the plainclothes agents who haunt the Shanghai Concession. Looking at the current situation, the young man who shot just now is definitely not a second-generation official or a second-generation rich man. You know, those plainclothes spies outside who only take orders from Japan's situation agencies will never behave so submissively.

The six or seven gang members who had intercepted the man and woman here before were forced to line up and kneel on the street. The young man who had wiped the blood off his face was now standing behind these gang members holding a pistol. Upon seeing this, Tang Cheng began to frown secretly. He looked like he was going to be executed in an execution-style manner! The suspicion in Tang Cheng's heart had not dissipated when he heard gunshots ringing in the street outside. Looking at the gang members who were forced to kneel on the street, in just the blink of an eye, they were killed by the young man standing behind them. people, shooting and killing four people in a row.

The remaining two gang members had already been scared to death. They collapsed completely on the ground and could only scream for mercy. The young man with a ferocious look on his face at this moment ignored the pleas of the last two gang members for mercy. He just reloaded the bullets and fired two more shots, sending the last two gang members to hell. In the shops on both sides of the street, shopkeepers and passers-by were also hiding to watch the excitement. At this moment, they only felt a chill on their backs. Only Tangcheng did not have such a reaction.

Tang Cheng looked at the young man's appearance when he shot to kill, and initially judged that this guy should be no stranger to shooting to kill, because if the opponent is a novice, this kind of execution-style shooting at close range is the most likely to cause the novice to collapse. But looking at the young man's reaction at the moment, it seemed that he was still enjoying the pleasure brought by this execution-style shooting. A cold look gradually appeared in Tang Cheng's eyes when he looked at the young man. All the gang members who participated in the interception were beaten to death on the street. The plainclothes men who appeared here and blocked the street quickly left. Tangcheng and the others were finally able to come out of the store where they were hiding.

No one knew that Tang Cheng had quietly used system skills to target the young man who shot and killed people. What he had to do now was to find and track the young man according to the prompts given by the system. Tang Cheng did not chase the target in the direction he left. Instead, he walked south along the other end of the street. Then he turned right at the next intersection and went in a circle. Soon he found someone on another street. The young man who shot and killed someone.

The young woman from before was still following him, and a few meters behind them were two men in suits who were suspected of being plainclothes agents. A group of young men and women plus two men in suits who appeared to be plainclothes made up the four of them. Tang Cheng, who was cautious, fell far behind them. The young man who looked angry before did not realize that he was being followed. If you ignore the two men in suits, the behavior of this young man and woman at this moment is completely the standard shopping mode of just watching and buying.

After following the other four people slowly through the street, Tang Cheng, who was a little impatient, finally accelerated and shortened the distance between himself and the four target people. After secretly using system skills to scan the identities of the four people, Tang Cheng couldn't help but take a breath. What he couldn't figure out was why he could encounter such a person just wandering around the concession when he was about to leave Shanghai. A big fish. The young man whose true identity was scanned by the system was named Fujiwara. This guy looked uneducated, but he was actually a direct descendant of the Fujiwara family in Japan.

If the children of these aristocratic families want to gain more say in the family and have more resources than others, they must produce results that make the family elders pay attention. This guy named Fujiwara Takenori was originally planning to join the Kwantung Army to obtain qualifications, but as soon as he arrived in Shanghai, he was dazzled by the prosperity of the concession. Not only did he postpone his reporting to the Kwantung Army, he also stayed in Shanghai through hard work through an uncle who served in the Shanghai Military Police Headquarters.

The young woman who has been following him is a maid trained by the Fujiwara family since childhood. As a direct descendant of the family, Takenori Fujiwara can order this maid to do anything for him. After using his system skills to figure out the true identities of the man and woman, Tang Cheng quickly came up with an idea, but it was still early and not the best time to implement the plan. Therefore, after some consideration, Tang Cheng decided to continue to follow the other party.

An hour later, Fujiwara Takenori, who seemed tired from shopping, suddenly walked into a movie theater in the concession with his maid and two bodyguards. This cinema was showing an American movie. Tang Cheng noticed that Fujiwara Takenori took a special look at the promotional poster outside the cinema before entering the cinema. The cinema, which had poor sight lines, seemed like a good place. Tang Cheng, who was moved in his heart, immediately walked into the cinema.

Although the Japanese had planned to break up with each other, after they launched their southward plan, they were already in a situation of incompatibility with other countries in the concession. However, there are still many foreigners living in the Shanghai Concession. This cinema is showing the latest American movies, so there are still many people in the cinema. After entering the screening room, Tang Cheng immediately turned on the triple eyepiece skill, and quickly found the location of the man and woman under dim vision conditions.

The movie lasted for almost an hour, and I was surrounded by Tang Cheng in the corridor. It seemed that I was watching the movie attentively, but in fact I was rehearsing the action steps in my mind. Finally, amidst the noise, the movie ended and everyone stood up to leave. Many of those who stood up and prepared to leave were still discussing the plot of the movie, so the noise in the cinema showed no intention of getting down.

Tang Cheng, who was wearing a peaked cap on his head, suddenly covered his nose with his left hand. It looked like he was about to sneeze, but he was actually using this action to cover his face. "Sneeze!" Tang Cheng, who pretended to sneeze, did not immediately leave the aisle beside him, but stood still. Although some people glanced at Tang Cheng, they did not doubt the sneezing young man.

Among the people who saw Tang Cheng sneezing, Fujiwara Takenori and his maid were naturally included. Like everyone else, they did not suspect the sneezing guy. But just when Fujiwara Gounori finished his low conversation with the maid and turned his face, Tang Cheng, who was covering his mouth and nose with his left hand and sneezing, suddenly stood up straight, and in his raised right hand, he was holding a pistol. , and the muzzle of the gun was pointed directly at Takenori Fujiwara.
