Another attack on the military police and plainclothes broke out in the concession, which made the already battered military police headquarters and the special higher education department furious. A large number of military police and plainclothes were urgently transferred into the concession. Unfortunately, after a search, they still found nothing. However, according to the subsequent report from No. 76, the cause of today's attack was a group of underground party members captured by No. 76 in the concession. According to the traces left at the scene of the incident, the situation was indeed as No. 76 said. The first person to be attacked was No. 76.
But no matter what, they are the party that suffered serious losses, so the search must continue to find the elusive attacker. At this time, Tang Cheng had quietly returned to Hongkou District. With the expatriate certificate in his hand, Tang Cheng checked into the Xinya Hotel again. Among the Japanese businessmen Tang Cheng had met here before, only one named Fujita was still living in the hotel. When he saw Tang Cheng, Fujita was very happy.
When asked by the other party why he was not in Shanghai during this period, Tang Cheng just said that he had gone to Tianjin. This time he came to Shanghai to prepare to take a boat back to Japan in a few days. Tang Cheng's appearance of making money in Tianjin made Fujita even more enthusiastic. Fujita, who has traveled extensively, is very aware of the huge profits from the antique business. Fujita travels between Shanghai and Japan all year round and knows many people in Hongkou District. With him as a cover, Tang Cheng believes that no one in the New Asia Hotel will provoke him.
Because of the continuous attacks, the Japanese army in Shanghai strengthened their control over Shanghai. Because of the previous suspicions of the Mei Agency and the Super High School, they also tightened their control over Hongkou District. When Tang Cheng checked in at the hotel, if he hadn't happened to meet Fujita, he might have been questioned by the military police in the hotel lobby. Tang Cheng settled down at Xinya Hotel with peace of mind and did not go out for several days. However, he chatted and drank with Fujita every day.
On the afternoon of the third day, Tang Cheng was dragged by Fujita to wander around Hongkou District. The two of them were just wandering around. Unfortunately, when they returned to the hotel, they met an acquaintance of Fujita, and the three of them went to a nearby izakaya to kill time. . Generally, the best time for izakaya business is after dark, but today, for some unknown reason, the business of the izakaya they went to in Tangcheng was very good. As soon as Tang Cheng entered the door, he saw many Japanese soldiers sitting in the lobby of the izakaya, and there were Japanese officers coming in and out of the private rooms on the second floor.
The three people in Tang Cheng went directly to the private room on the second floor. However, this Japanese-style building was not soundproof. Tang Cheng, who had a very good hearing, could clearly hear the noise next door. The Japanese soldiers and officers in Ganqing Izakaya had just been removed from the frontline battlefield for repairs. They all belonged to the Kondo Brigade. Kondo Hotel encountered a powerful enemy this time and suffered heavy casualties, including high-ranking officers. The Japanese commander was worried that the Kondo brigade would be beaten to the point where its designation would be revoked.
These Japanese soldiers and officers who appeared in the izakaya had obtained the approval of the brigade commander to return to Japan to visit their families. After a short leave, they will be recalled and continue to serve on the front line. Originally, Tang Cheng didn't care about this kind of thing, but something the officers next door accidentally said aroused Tang Cheng's interest. These officers of the Kondo Brigade not only returned to Japan to visit their families, they also had a mission, which was to return to Japan with the ashes of several high-ranking officers in the brigade.
In addition to the ashes, which they brought back to Japan, these high-ranking officers also collected a lot of property from China. From the conversation between the Japanese officers in the private room next door, Tang Cheng also knew that these guys lived in a hotel not far from the izakaya. The belongings and ashes they planned to bring back to Japan were placed in their hotel. in the room. Tang Cheng, who secretly had an idea in his mind, subconsciously reached out and touched his chin, wondering if he would be at a disadvantage if he pretended not to see the benefits brought to his door!
It just so happened that my carry-on equipment bag had been fully upgraded. The capacity of the equipment bag now exceeded one hundred kilograms, and at least half of the remaining space was still unused. Tang Cheng, who had made up his mind, pretended to drink and chat with Fujita while secretly paying attention to the conversation in the private room next door. There were a lot of people in the private room next door, and they were very noisy. Fujita, whose mood was affected, gradually became impatient. Thanks to Tang Cheng's persuasion, Fujita, who was in no mood, could only choose to get up and leave.
Tang Cheng did not choose to leave halfway, but returned to the hotel with Fujita. He forced Fujita to drink another cup of tea, and Tang Cheng finally let him go. Tang Cheng waited until nightfall, and Ciao left the window of the hotel room. Following the route he had memorized during the day, he rushed to the izakaya he had visited during the day, because only by finding the izakaya first could Tang Cheng find the officers of the Kondo Brigade to stay. hotel. Half an hour later, Tang Cheng, dressed in black, appeared in the back alley of the hotel. After listening carefully to the surrounding movements, Tang Cheng threw his flying claws towards the roof of the hotel.
According to what Tang Cheng heard in the izakaya in the afternoon, these officers from the Kondo Brigade lived on the third floor of this hotel. Because there is a police station two streets away from the hotel, the security in this area is pretty good, but they never expected that someone would be targeting them tonight. After Tang Cheng, dressed in black, activated his light body skill, he quickly began to climb up the rope under his flying claws. After a few breaths, he climbed up to a window on the third floor.
Through the window, Tang Cheng could hear the snoring in the room. He slowly stepped on the edge of the window with his toes. After steadying himself, Tang Cheng took out a small tool from his equipment bag and began to pry open the window. The windows of this hotel are all made of pure wood, and even the latch inside the window is made of wood, so it is not difficult for Tang Cheng to pry open this window. Tang Cheng's movements were very gentle and did not wake up the two sleeping people in the room. Until Tang Cheng climbed through the window, the snoring of the two people in the room did not stop.
Tang Cheng, who had turned on the triple eyepiece skill, could see clearly at the moment. There were two sets of Japanese military uniforms hanging on the hangers on the wall of the room. The two people living here should be the officers of the Kondo Brigade who were about to return to Japan. Tang Cheng walked quietly to the bed, slowly stretched out his hands, covered the target's mouth and nose with one hand, made a fist with the other hand, and hit the target hard on the left chest with a Phoenix Eye Fist. Tang Cheng's strength is far beyond that of ordinary people, and the Phoenix Eye Fist is inherently damaged. This punch will directly put the man lying on the bed into a state of shock.
After taking care of the man on the bed on the left, Tang Cheng immediately turned around and followed the same example to kill the Japanese officer on the other bed. After successfully getting rid of the two people in the room, Tang Cheng walked behind the door and listened carefully to the movement outside the door. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he began to search the entire room. In a short time, Tang Cheng found an urn and a large bag of gold and silver jewelry from two boxes under the bed. Tang Cheng ignored the urn and immediately opened the package of gold and silver jewelry, only to find that they were just ordinary items.
In the next half hour, Tang Cheng cleaned all the rooms on the third floor of the hotel. The dozen or so Japanese officers who lived in the rooms on the third floor were all asleep and were quietly sent to hell by Tang Cheng. After searching all the rooms, Tang Cheng finally found a suitcase containing dozens of gold bars and two boxes of porcelain calligraphy and paintings in one of the rooms. These were Tang Cheng's biggest gains tonight. Tang Cheng deliberately did not clean up the corpses in the room, but Tang Cheng took away the IDs of all of them.
In the early hours of the morning, Tang Cheng, dressed in black, followed the rope and quietly returned to his room. There were only four hours left until daybreak. Tang Cheng, who was not sleepy, changed his clothes and sat quietly in a chair in front of the window. Tang Cheng's stay in Shanghai this time has already exceeded a month. According to his agreement with Zhang Jianghe, he should have returned to Chongqing long ago. Tang Cheng thought about it carefully at this moment, and it seemed that there was nothing else that could keep him in Shanghai.
Tang Cheng has always wanted to contact Xu Huanshan, but unfortunately Xu Huanshan seems to have disappeared from the world. As for those people in the Shanghai underground party organization, Tang Cheng does not want to contact them now. Tang Cheng had no intention of joining the underground party organization. He took the initiative to contact Xu Huanshan and even took the initiative to help Xu Huanshan, just to do something to help the country. Although Tang Cheng has been branded as a military commander because of his father, Tang Cheng believes that he has never done anything detrimental to the country.
Time passed little by little as Tang Cheng's thoughts spread. When the sky brightened, Tang Cheng left the hotel after packing. He was now going to buy a boat ticket to leave Shanghai. There was news about the ship heading south in the morning. Fujita told Tang Cheng yesterday that if everything goes well, Tang Cheng will appear on the deck of the southbound cruise ship in half an hour. Maybe Tang Cheng's luck was back. When he rushed to the pier, he happened to catch up with someone who refunded the ticket, and Tang Cheng took advantage of him. After getting the ticket, Tang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. There was only less than half an hour left before boarding the ship.
While Tangcheng was queuing up to board the ship, Hongkou District was already in turmoil because the bodies in the hotel were discovered. A dozen army officers who had just withdrawn from the front line were killed. This was no small matter. After receiving the report, the military police headquarters immediately dispatched a large number of military police to block the street where the hotel where the incident occurred was located. At the same time, they also blocked all external channels in Hongkou District, because according to their judgment, the murderer committed the crime at night and should still be in Hongkou District. The top brass of the Military Police Command, who thought they were smart, neglected to block the dock. By the time they launched a comprehensive search, Tang Cheng had already boarded the ship and left the dock.
