What the bureau said about the Japanese being impatient was not a joke. What the bureau meant was that the people sent by the Wuhan Special High School saw that the assassination operation could not achieve the expected results, but they did not dare to cancel the operation. . They were forced to have no choice but to spend money to hire bandits. Regardless of whether the operation was successful or not, they at least created some chaos in the South Bank Villa. This is what the old saying goes, if I can't beat you, I'll disgust you to death!
Tang Cheng originally wanted to warn the bureau chief that the Japanese were playing tricks of attacking in the east and attacking in the west, but when he saw with his own eyes the strict defense measures inside the Nan'an Villa, he didn't say anything more. Although the enemies that came late at night had been wiped out in one fell swoop, Tang Cheng and the others were still asked to stay here to rest tonight. A few hours later, after dawn, Tangcheng and the others were allowed to leave, but those who participated in the operation last night showed no impatience.
After finishing the work at the South Bank Villa, Tang Cheng was free again, but the bureau chief didn't seem to intend to let Tang Cheng be free just like that. "This is a case transferred from the military command headquarters. There is no time limit for the bureau!" Tang Cheng, who was called to the office by Zhang Jianghe, still looked lazy, making Zhang Jianghe frown. The case transferred from the military command headquarters seemed very simple on the surface, just an ordinary case of raiding black market dealers.
It was only after Tang Cheng carefully looked through the files that he discovered that the black marketeer named Zhao Erhu mentioned in the files was actually missing. Moreover, this Zhao Erhu is said to have a batch of contraband from Shanghai related to him, and Shanghai has long been a Japanese military-controlled area. Tang Cheng didn't take it seriously at first. It was only after he actually took over the case that he discovered that Zhao Erhu might also be a latent Japanese spy.
Zhao Erhu was well-known in the black market in the city. Tang Cheng asked his acquaintance Brother Pao to inquire about this person, but the answers he got were different. However, Tangcheng also found some common ground among them, that is, this Zhao Erhu is not a local resident of Chongqing. This guy came to Chongqing from Wuhan just a few years ago. The results of the two consecutive days of investigation made Tang Cheng more and more suspicious of Zhao Erhu, especially when he learned that Zhao Erhu had no family in Chongqing.
Tang Cheng, who had doubts in his heart, did not go to the bureau chief to express his doubts. He just followed his own way and began to search for the whereabouts of Zhao Erhu. The population in Chongqing is increasing, and it is obviously impossible to easily find this Zhao Erhu. But Tang Cheng has a stubborn temper. Now that he has taken over this case, he must use all his strength to deal with it. But time passed day by day, but there was still no result on Zhao Erhu's whereabouts, and Lao Fu and the others became a little impatient.
However, Tangcheng still looked calm and calm. Since the whereabouts of Zhao Erhu could not be found, we had to find people who were close to Zhao Erhu in the past to investigate. The next operation of the action team has changed from covert to high-profile. In such a high-profile search for a black marketeer, the operation of the action team soon made black marketeers of all sizes in Chongqing city begin to become agitated. The news reached the bureau chief's ears, but the bureau chief just laughed and didn't take it seriously.
The attitude of the bureau chief was that of the military commander. The people in the military commander who originally thought Tangcheng was being ridiculous now couldn't say much and could only pretend not to know anything. Zhongtong, who had not shown up for a long time to look for his presence, did not know what medicine he had taken wrongly. After learning about this, he also began to inquire about Zhao Erhu in private. Zhongtong's actions were quickly reported to Tang Cheng, but Tang Cheng didn't care about it because he couldn't see what benefits Zhongtong could get from doing this.
Zhao Erhu was just a fairly good black marketeer, but he was actually investigated by both the military and central unification departments. This incident quickly spread. Thanks to the help of their acquaintance in the city, Brother Pao, Tangcheng was still one step ahead and finally got ahead of Zhongtong and found some useful clues. "Qin Zhaodi, 26 years old, a native of Chongqing. Nine years ago, she was introduced to Cao Dongxi, the owner of Caoji Tea House in the south of the city. Three years ago, when Cao Dongxi was visiting friends, she encountered a bandit and fell into the water. Qin Zhaodi became Widow, and inherited Caoji Tea House."
"According to the information we received, Zhao Erhu and Qin Zhaodi were lovers, and the two were even living together. When Zhao Erhu disappeared from the city, Qin Zhaodi was ill for a period of time, and then she cleaned out all the things Zhao Erhu left at home. There is no record of Qin Zhaodi in the files transferred by the military command headquarters, which means that the existence of Qin Zhaodi has not been found by the military commander. Then, our next main investigation direction will be this Qin Zhaodi. "
In the conference room on the second floor of the military camp, Qin Zhaodi's photo was posted on the big blackboard behind Tang Cheng. Under the photo, Tang Cheng had already marked Qin Zhaodi's social relationships with chalk. Qin Zhaodi in the photo does not look young anymore, but the weak-looking Qin Zhaodi has nothing to do with the Japanese spy no matter how you look at it. Qin Zhaodi didn't look like a Japanese spy. This was what Lao Fu and the others thought. Tang Cheng had no first impression of this woman.
After finally finding useful clues, Tang Cheng naturally couldn't do nothing. He immediately arranged surveillance and tracking of Qin Zhaodi. Under the competition of Lao Fu and others, the task of fixed-point surveillance was finally taken away by Zhao Dashan. How could Tang Cheng be a fool who couldn't see anything! So when Zhao Dashan and others were feeling proud, Tang Cheng poured a bucket of cold water on them at the right time! "This woman named Qin Zhaodi is not simple. Don't let her appearance fool you. If something happens and ruins my arrangement, you all know the consequences."
Zhao Dashan and others initially dismissed Tang Cheng's warning, but after continuously monitoring Qin Zhaodi for several days, Zhao Dashan and others immediately realized that something was wrong. According to their previous investigation of Qin Zhaodi, this woman was a native of Chongqing and had never even left Chongqing. But it was such a native-born local woman who made a counter-reconnaissance move when they were secretly following each other. This undoubtedly made Zhao Dashan and others unable to believe their own judgment.
Tang Cheng, who received the report, was not surprised by this, because from the initial surveillance and tracking of Qin Zhaodi, Tang Cheng had already used system skills to scan the identity of the woman named Qin Zhaodi. Strictly speaking, Qin Zhaodi, who is currently being secretly monitored and followed by the action team, is no longer the same Qin Zhaodi. Three years ago, before Cao Dongxi fell into the water and died, Qin Zhaodi had followed Cao Dongxi to Chengdu to visit his old friends and elders. It was that time that the original Qin Zhaodi had been lost.
It was precisely for this reason that Cao Dongxi encountered water bandits a month later and fell into the water and died. Qin Zhaodi, who is now in charge of Caoji Tea House, was originally named Qin Zaidi, and she was Qin Zhaodi's biological sister who was separated when she was young. Tang Cheng originally thought that such a bloody scene would only appear in later movies and TV dramas, but he happened to encounter the real version. Therefore, Tang Cheng, who already knew the truth, was not surprised by what Zhao Dashan and the others reported.
It was precisely because Zhao Dashan and the others discovered something unusual about Qin Zhaodi that Tang Cheng followed suit and stepped up surveillance and tracking of Qin Zhaodi. A week passed quickly, and Zhao Dashan and the others who were closely monitoring Qin Zhaodi finally achieved results. According to the order of Qin Zhaodi's contact, Zhao Dashan and the others quickly identified several suspicious targets, including an operations captain of the Central Command. The matter involved people from Zhongtong again, so Tang Cheng no longer persisted, but chose to report the case to the bureau.
"I found out about Qin Zhaodi through my relationship with Brother Pao in the city! I originally thought that since Qin Zhaodi had lived with Zhao Erhu for more than two years, she should know a lot about Zhao Erhu, so I arranged for people to monitor her. But I was told What they didn't expect was that my team members discovered that this Qin Zhaodi had actually received certain counter-reconnaissance training. This woman had used counter-reconnaissance methods more than once when she was being followed."
"Based on this situation, I stepped up the surveillance and tracking of her. The people on the list have all been in contact with this woman. The one marked with a red pen is an action captain of the Central Unification Committee. "When Tang Cheng handed the list to the bureau chief, he did not forget to give a special explanation. The list he handed over not only had more than a dozen names on it, but Tangcheng was also very thoughtful and marked the units and positions of these people, which made the bureau chief very satisfied after reading it.
Originally, Tang Cheng thought that the bureau leader might use this opportunity to severely punish the Central Government. But what he didn't expect was that the bureau chief didn't do that. Instead, he took the initiative to call Zhongtong in front of him. The bureau chief was on the phone and explained everything about the Central Unification operatives who appeared on the list. The Central Military Commission was also surprised to learn that one of their own had appeared in a case being investigated by the military commander. After they figured out that the bureau chief did not make the call to investigate, they expressed their gratitude.
"Are you surprised? Do you think I should use this matter to severely punish the Central Government?" The bureau chief who hung up the phone looked at Tang Cheng in a good mood, and the latter was naturally confused. expression. Upon seeing this, the director continued, "The current war situation has basically become clear. The Americans have increased their investment in the Asian theater. The destruction of the Japanese is only a matter of time. Once the Japanese fail, this foreign enemy will be gone, and the domestic enemy will be gone. The situation will be a stage of internal fighting. Regardless of the lack of ability of the Central Government, they are masters of internal fighting, so it is necessary to make some arrangements in advance."
