The war situation in the front is changing three times a day, the finances in the rear have been tight for a long time, and the funds of the military command have been repeatedly cut. The biggest headache for the bureau now is the funding problem. The case reported by Tangcheng made the bureau chief overjoyed. As long as this batch of smuggled materials can be obtained, the funds of the military command headquarters will be relieved to a certain extent. Tang Cheng could only guess a rough idea of what the bureau chief was thinking, but he took the initiative to report the matter to the bureau chief on the phone. The real purpose was not to solve the bureau chief's problems.
Both the military command and the Central Command have intervened in Chongqing's black market business. It is almost impossible for Chongqing's underground party organizations to purchase the materials they urgently need from the black market. Originally, they could also privately contact smugglers in the city and purchase military supplies from Kunming through smugglers' channels. But the Anti-Smuggling Department is more concerned about smuggled materials. Their existence has, to a certain extent, seriously affected the daily activities of underground party organizations.
Today's matter, if it had been anyone else, he might have been handed over to the Anti-Smuggling Department to deal with it themselves. However, Tang Cheng was unreasonable and took the people arrested by the Anti-Smuggling Department directly back to the military camp. Although Tang Cheng had reasons for taking them away, Tang Cheng also had the intention of using the military command to deal with the Anti-Smuggling Department. Intend. After the two men in short shirts were escorted back to the military camp, Tang Cheng immediately organized people to interrogate the two men. He needed to obtain their confessions in the shortest possible time.
As expected, Tangcheng was still busy interrogating prisoners, but the Anti-Smuggling Department was already making a fuss. The two smugglers who were taken away by Tangcheng not only had a secret passage in and out of Chongqing, but according to the information obtained by the anti-smuggling office, the two smugglers also hoarded a large amount of smuggled materials. For the anti-smuggling department, this large amount of smuggled materials represents a huge benefit. How could they watch helplessly as this batch of materials fell into the hands of Tang Cheng.
Tang Cheng was famous, and everyone in the Anti-Smuggling Department also knew that Tang Cheng had great hands and eyes. However, when faced with a large sum of money, the people from the Anti-Smuggling Department still chose to come to Tang Cheng and demand the two smugglers face to face. "Director Ma, I can't give it to you! Because after we interrogated them, we have determined that these two guys have been secretly helping the Japanese and puppet spy agencies to inquire about military intelligence in Chongqing! In this case, I have already It was reported to the Military Command Headquarters, so I can’t give it to you!”
It was the first time Tang Cheng had interacted with Director Ma of the Anti-Smuggling Department, so his words were quite polite and kind. However, looking at the other party's attitude, it was obvious that he was impatient with Tang Cheng's polite rejection, so Tang Cheng had no choice but to invite Zhang Jianghe. Zhang Jianghe is an old man in charge of the military, and He Xini's abilities cannot be compared to that of Tangcheng. In just one cup of tea, Director Ma of the Anti-Smuggling Department lost his temper, especially after he read the confessions of the two smugglers.
The most important thing is that this case has already involved the Military Command Headquarters. No matter how good their anti-smuggling department is, they cannot be as good as the Military Command. The interrogation of the two smugglers locked in the basement has been completed, and the next thing to do is to confiscate the smuggled materials they hoarded. Before the Tangcheng operation, they specially sent people to spread the news and deliberately let the people of the Anti-Smuggling Department know about it. According to the agreement between Tang Cheng and the bureau, the action team could get 30% of the confiscated smuggled materials, but these 30% of the materials were enough to fill two military trucks.
Zhang Jiang and the informant conveyed the news that the smuggled materials belonging to the action team had just been sent to the garrison station and were immediately bought by two Chengdu businessmen. Tang Cheng, who knew it well, did not stop the transaction. Although the underground party organization paid, they got the supplies safely. Moreover, Zhang Jianghe also used super low prices to transport away a batch of arms seized from the warehouse in the backyard of the military camp. Based on this calculation, Chongqing’s underground party organizations actually do not suffer a loss.
The anti-smuggling department returned without success and watched helplessly as the action team and the military headquarters easily ate the smuggled materials. To say that they were not angry was a pure lie. In order to relieve the stagnation in their hearts, the Anti-Smuggling Department immediately stepped up its efforts to investigate smuggling. A batch of electrical materials and medicines obtained by the Military Command Tianjin Station through foreign businessmen were seized by the Anti-Smuggling Department as soon as they landed. The person responsible for escorting this batch of materials at Tianjin Station was not a fool. When the people from the Anti-Smuggling Department planned to seize the materials, they took out the military command procedures and their own documents.
However, this batch of supplies at Tianjin Station was only landed after dark, and it had only been a few days since the last incident. The people in the Anti-Smuggling Department were holding a fire in their hearts, and they couldn't take it easy now. By the time Tangcheng found out about this, it was already the morning of the next day. The Anti-Smuggling Department had not only seized the materials, but also detained the person who transported the materials. The military commander learned about this because of the insider they planted in the Anti-Smuggling Department. The military commander was naturally not happy, because the electrical materials in this batch of supplies were used to crack the Japanese military secret code.
Tang Cheng, who learned about this incident, did not get involved directly. Instead, he took his people to the pier to stay on guard and sent people to pay attention to the development of the situation. After all, it was the military commander, how could he suffer such a loss in vain? After the military commander headquarters learned the news, they immediately sent people to the anti-smuggling office to ask for people and materials. But what they didn't expect was that the Anti-Smuggling Department reported the matter to the superiors overnight. All the medicines in this batch of supplies had been taken away by the superiors, and only electrical materials were left.
A farce unfolded. The people sent by the military command headquarters, no matter what, first took control of Director Ma of the Anti-Smuggling Department and forced him to take back all the medicines. The military commander immediately turned his back, and the matter became a big deal. When it was lunch time, the latest news from the streets of Tangcheng was revealed. Someone from the Military and Political Department has already used this matter to file a complaint against the military commander in front of the Chairman. The Chairman is now on his way to the South Bank Villa.
Everyone thought that the matter would end with the bureau leader being reprimanded by the chairman, but something no one expected happened. On the way to the South Bank Villa, the bureau leader was actually assassinated. Fortunately, the driver of the Bureau made a prompt decision and drove the car directly off the roadbed. Although the Guard and the driver were killed and injured, the Bureau himself was not injured at all. When Tang Cheng received the news, he broke out in a cold sweat. The bureau chief was actually attacked in Chongqing. This was not an easy matter.
When Tang Cheng rushed to the hospital, the place was already full of military commanders. If Zhang Jianghe hadn't happened to come over, Tang Cheng would have had no chance of entering the hospital. The director was not injured. He came to the hospital just for a physical examination and to express his attitude to the outside world. Seeing Tang Cheng and Zhang Jianghe appear, the bureau chief called Tang Cheng to his side and whispered to Tang Cheng to investigate the matter immediately. Publicly and privately, Tang Cheng could not refuse the order from the bureau, so he immediately left the hospital and began to gather his team members to rush to the scene of the incident.
Just like the situation at the hospital, the location where the bureau was attacked had already been cordoned off by people from the Second Military Reunion Division. The people from the Second Military Reunification Division must have received the news, so they did not prevent Tang Cheng and others from entering the scene. After carefully surveying the scene, the people from the logistics team exchanged opinions with the trace experts from the Second Military Reunification Division. "Captain, there should be three attackers in total. One will use a rifle for long-distance support, and two will use assault rifles.
g, to do a close attack. "
The members of the logistics team used their daggers to simply draw a topographic map of the incident site on the ground, and then marked the locations of the three attackers one by one on the map. "The driver in the bureau reacted very quickly. When he realized something was wrong, he immediately drove the car off the roadbed. The other two charged forward.
The bullets fired by the gunman only made a few bullet holes in the rear of the car. The real damage to the people in the car was the rifleman in the distance. "
"The rifleman on the other side should be a veteran. We found the place where he fired, but we did not find the bullet casing." The situation reported by his team members made Tang Cheng frown slightly, because there were no traces found at the scene of the incident. There are too few clues. After the on-site investigation was completed, Tang Cheng released all his team members and used their respective channels to explore relevant information and clues. He himself also went to find Brother Pao, who was familiar with him in the city.
The assassination of the bureau chief was not a trivial matter. After the big boss of the Military and Political Department complained in front of the chairman, he immediately expressed his attitude to the bureau chief through an acquaintance and claimed that the matter had nothing to do with him. The senior officials of the Central Unification Committee who did not want to deal with the military alliance also found someone to send a message to the bureau chief, saying that this matter had nothing to do with the Central Unification Committee. The originally peaceful city of Chongqing became increasingly tense due to the attack on the bureau. However, there was no movement from the Anti-Smuggling Department where this incident occurred. The Second Military Division also focused its attention on the Anti-Smuggling Department.
Tangcheng did not focus on the anti-smuggling department, but first found the black market dealers in the city who were still doing arms business. Among the three people who attacked the bureau, two used German-style assault rifles.
g, this kind of melee weapon is rare in the black market. It's a pity that the arms dealers found in Tangcheng all claimed that they had never handled such a charge.
g, but it’s not like Tangcheng didn’t use up any clues. One of the arms dealers quietly told Tangcheng the news that in the past half month, the only Mauser rifle sold in the arms black market was bought by the Cao brothers from the east of the city.
Tangcheng had long heard about the Cao brothers in the east of the city. Both of these brothers were in the tobacco business. But Tang Cheng didn't remember any personal grudges between the military commander and the Cao brothers. The whole day passed quickly, but Tang Cheng had very few clues. The team members who were searching around the city found no usable information. After Tang Cheng thought about it secretly, he deployed manpower to monitor the Cao brothers and investigated all the boat people in the city who were living on the water. Sure enough, Lao Fu's group soon made a new discovery.
