Ten minutes later, Tang Cheng appeared outside a small courtyard not far from Xinya Hotel. Looking at the mottled courtyard gate, Tang Cheng vaguely remembered that he had killed Japanese officers here. Tang Cheng quietly reached out to climb the wall of the hospital and stuck his head out to observe the situation in the yard. He found that the yard was full of weeds. It seemed that the place had been abandoned for a long time. The last time Tang Cheng came to Shanghai and caused chaos in Hongkou District, he had killed people here, and the bodies hidden here had already been found by the military police.
Because people had died here, the courtyard was first sealed by the Military Police Headquarters, and then gradually fell into disuse. Tang Cheng jumped into the yard without entering the house. After walking around in the yard, he felt overjoyed and thought that this was the best place to hide things! Tang Cheng, who already had a rough idea in mind, didn't want to waste this opportunity, so he used his equipment bag to dig a deep hole in the yard and camouflaged it with weeds.
The deep hole that Tang Cheng made in the yard is more than three meters deep. As long as it is disguised after filling it in, no one will think that anything is buried here. After putting on a good disguise, Tang Cheng climbed up the wall without forgetting to turn around and check. After confirming that there were no flaws, he jumped off the wall and disappeared into the night. According to the prompts given by the system, the target targeted by Tang Cheng using system skills has now returned to the hotel room. Tang Cheng, who had returned to the Xinya Hotel, did not go back to his room immediately. Instead, he chatted for a while with an acquaintance of Japanese businessmen in the lobby on the first floor.
At 2 o'clock in the morning, Tang Cheng got out of bed. Without sleepiness, he lit a cigarette and began to think about and perfect his action plan. Colonel Takada only stayed in Shanghai for three days, and those boxes were kept with people around the clock. If Tang Cheng wanted the contents of the boxes, he would have to take them by force. But in this case, he would have to fight against Colonel Takada's guards. If he did it in the hotel, Tang Cheng would not be completely sure that he could safely leave the hotel with those boxes.
Furthermore, if the guards under Colonel Takada become anxious and try to destroy the contents of those boxes, they will also entangle Tang Cheng. Even if Tang Cheng was able to escape, the contents in those boxes were destroyed. Even if Tang Cheng didn't eat the meat, he would still be covered in fishy meat! From the beginning, Tang Cheng had no intention of taking action in the hotel, but so far, he has not come up with a specific action step. If Tang Cheng didn't take action in the hotel, Tang Cheng would be caught blind once Colonel Takada and the others dispersed with the boxes after leaving the hotel.
After thinking about it, Tang Cheng finally decided to take action in the hotel, and after taking action, he could not leave the hotel immediately, otherwise he was afraid that he would not even be able to leave Shanghai. It wasn't until the sky turned pale that Tang Cheng, who was sitting blankly in the hotel room, finally came up with a plan. Moreover, after Tang Cheng repeatedly deduced this action plan in his mind, he felt that the probability of success was very high. However, before the action started, Tang Cheng still needed time to make some arrangements in advance.
After daybreak, Tang Cheng, who had only slept in bed for less than three hours, climbed out of bed sleepily. He still had a lot to do today. After a simple wash, Tang Cheng continued to have breakfast in the hotel restaurant as usual. However, today, Tang Cheng deliberately chatted with several Japanese businessmen in the restaurant and deliberately revealed to them the news that he was going to the concession to receive goods. Several people. These Japanese businessmen all bought things from Tang Cheng last time. Although they failed to keep the price down, they all benefited from it.
Therefore, when I heard from Tang Cheng that he was going to the concession to receive the goods today, several people on the other side said that they would come to Tang Cheng to see the goods. After having breakfast, Tang Cheng returned to the concession and went to several pawnshops in succession according to the route he had long been optimistic about. Relying on the large amount of banknotes and Japanese expatriate IDs in his hands, Tang Cheng went smoothly and purchased more than 20 small jade articles and wood carvings from the warehouses of these pawn shops. Although these objects are not very old, they can still be regarded as antiques, especially the wood carvings with excellent craftsmanship.
Tang Cheng's first thought last night was to ask the Shanghai underground party organization for help, but he also thought that this matter must not be known to others. The things in Colonel Takada's hands were not arms or medicines. Even if he gave them to the Shanghai underground party organization for free, they would not be able to cash them out in a short time to buy supplies. And there is a hidden danger here, that is, even if the Shanghai underground party organization takes action afterwards, it will definitely attract the attention of local gangs in Shanghai.
The three giants of the Green Gang are dying, walking and hiding. Now the Green Gang has basically become the lackeys of the Japanese. Once the Youth Gang notices these things, the Shanghai underground party organization will face great danger, so Tangcheng does not consider seeking help from the Shanghai underground party organization. After completing the purchase of antiques, Tang Cheng also went to the Suzhou River. Although most of the smugglers traveling on both sides of the Suzhou River had disappeared due to the control of the Japanese army in Shanghai, Tang Cheng still found some traces left by the smugglers.
Tang Cheng, who secretly noted the location, finally ended his activities in the concession and returned to the New Asia Hotel with the acquired antiques. The Japanese businessmen who chatted with Tang Cheng during breakfast were not in the hotel at the moment. Knowing that Colonel Takada's guards and boxes were still in the hotel, Tang Cheng was secretly happy and left the hotel after putting down his things. It was not until dinner time that Tang Cheng returned to the hotel with a tired look on his face. When he saw Tang Cheng coming back, the Japanese businessmen swarmed up and expressed their desire to appreciate the things Tang Cheng had acquired.
As the most critical step in tonight's operation, how could Tang Cheng show his trump card so early. So he immediately used the excuse of going upstairs to change clothes and take a shower to politely decline the request of these Japanese businessmen, but he also agreed to an invitation to have dinner with a few of them. Half an hour later, Tang Cheng, who had taken a shower and changed clothes, went downstairs and sat with the Japanese businessmen in the hotel restaurant. What's even more coincidental is that Colonel Takada also appeared in the restaurant with two guards at this moment.
Tang Cheng just pretended not to see Colonel Takada and just chatted with these Japanese businessmen about the things he acquired today. After hearing Tang Cheng's general description of the contents of the goods, these Japanese businessmen became even more interested. One of them, in particular, was very interested in the wood carvings that Tang Cheng mentioned. As Tang Cheng and the others were joking, time passed by. Seeing that it was getting dark outside the hotel, Tang Cheng invited these Japanese businessmen to his room for an interview.
Although the things Tang Cheng got this time were not high-quality goods, these Japanese businessmen had never seen anything good. After being deceived by Tang Cheng, these Japanese businessmen paid for them one after another. The jade and wood carvings that Cheng brought back today were worth a fortune. When Tang Cheng saw this, he pretended to be happy, then called the hotel waiter to bring wine and food, and took the Japanese businessmen to drink in the room.
It was a good thing to drink while appreciating antiques. After an hour, Tang Cheng successfully drank all the Japanese businessmen down. Tang Cheng, who was also pretending to be drunk, was the first to fall off the chair. The others, who were already drunk and staggering, no longer had the strength to laugh at Tang Cheng, and they all lay down on the floor of the room whistling. Big sleep. After discovering that these Japanese businessmen were already drunk, Tang Cheng did not get up from the floor immediately, but continued to lie on the floor.
Half an hour later, with only half an hour left before dawn, Tang Cheng, who had been lying on the floor, opened his eyes. Tang Cheng quickly changed into black clothes in the bathroom, chewed the chewing gum rewarded by the system and walked to the window of the room. Tang Cheng slowly opened the window, turned around and looked at the situation of the Japanese businessmen, and realized that there were several people on the other side. Already in a deep sleep, he stretched out his arm from the window and threw his flying claw upwards.
Although Colonel Takada's room was only two floors away from Tang Cheng's room, it was not in the same direction. Therefore, Tang Cheng must first reach the roof of the hotel, and then change direction and position from the roof of the hotel, so that he can follow the rope under the flying claw and quietly appear outside the window of Osaka Takada's hotel room. After a cigarette, Tang Cheng, dressed in black, was already sliding down the rope under Fei Claw. Directly below him was the outer window of Colonel Takada's room.
At this moment, in the New Asia Hotel, almost all the guests in the rooms had fallen asleep, but in Colonel Takada's room, there were still two sleepless guards sitting there. According to Colonel Takada's plan, they need to stay here for one more day. Early the morning after tomorrow, they will take the boxes in the room to the military dock to board the ship and leave Shanghai. Like Colonel Takada, these guards had not seen their families for a long time. Therefore, they were asked by Colonel Takada to escort these boxes this time. Most of them were still very grateful to Colonel Takada.
Colonel Takada's room was a suite. The boxes were all placed in the bedroom, but the guards were guarding the outside of the suite. The guards guarding the outside of the suite rotate every two hours. Colonel Takada's purpose of doing this is simple, which is to prevent the guards from becoming fatigued and negligent. Tang Cheng, who planned to come by force, did not know these details, and he was already on the verge of breaking out and had no way to stop the action.
Tangcheng, who was descending along the rope, was getting closer and closer to Colonel Takada's room, and his speed of falling down was getting slower and slower. Fortunately, Tang Cheng directly chose Colonel Takada's bedroom window, which avoided the immediate confrontation with the two guards outside the suite. After a dozen breaths, Tang Cheng, who was hanging on the rope, stopped steadily outside the window of Colonel Takada's bedroom. Tang Cheng, who had opened the triple eyepiece skill, could clearly see the situation indoors through the window.
