Tangcheng, who was sitting with Lao Yu and the others, did not expect that such a mistake would occur. According to Lao Yu and Zhang Jianghe's plan, they were planning to combine the plainclothes officers from the Central Military Commission and the Second Military Command Bureau who were caught last night. The attack on the action team was related to each other. But the development of the matter was beyond Tang Cheng's expectation. Judging from the bureau's intention, it seemed that he was not willing to turn against the Central Government at this time. Tang Cheng obviously noticed that Lao Yu's expression beside him became a little solemn, but when he looked at Zhang Jianghe, he still looked calm.
Sure enough, what the bureau chief said next was what happened to those plainclothes officers from the Central Committee last night. However, the bureau chief did not ask for their immediate release. After all, Lao Yu's brothers were also killed or injured last night. The bureau chief just wanted to keep the plainclothes officers of the Zhongtong alone, and no one was allowed to interrogate them without his warrant. The decision of the bureau chief made the atmosphere in the conference room become dull. People attending the meeting originally thought that the bureau chief, who had always defended his shortcomings, would directly declare a fight with the Central Government because of what happened last night.
The bureau chief did not get angry on the spot. Seeing that something was wrong in the atmosphere, he just looked around at everyone with a cold face, and finally pointed at Tang Cheng, who looked innocent, asking Tang Cheng to express his thoughts. Tang Cheng, who was pointed at by the director, felt very helpless, but he could only stand up from his position. "The cause of the incident was that someone attacked the operation team of the second branch in the city last night and caused casualties. Just after the murder occurred, when we rushed to the scene to investigate the traces, two streets away, a group of black people There was an exchange of fire between people and the field staff of the Second Division."
"I was at the scene at the time, so I immediately led people over to check the situation. When we found out that one of the parties involved in the exchange of fire was one of our own, we immediately offered help. After we attacked from both sides and forced the men in black to surrender, we discovered that those men in black were The man in black is actually a plainclothes field officer of the Central Military Commission." Tang Cheng first spoke calmly, telling what happened last night, and then finally expressed his judgment.
"I personally feel that it is definitely not an accident that the Zhongtong people appeared near the incident site. Moreover, when Captain Yu and the others found these Zhongtong plainclothes, they immediately identified themselves. Normal people meet the military commanders. The field staff had two reactions. One was to wait in place for the captain and the others to interrogate him closely. The second was to turn around and run away, because no matter who he was, he would be frightened when he was suddenly interrogated by military commanders, even if he was fine. Half dead."
"But last night, Captain Yu and the others met these plainclothes officers of the Central Military Commission. After Captain Yu and the others revealed their identities, they immediately drew their guns and started shooting. I think this is abnormal. The other party was a field officer of the Central Military Commission. When they encountered us People intercepted and interrogated. They knew clearly that we couldn't really make things difficult for them, but why did they shoot first?" Tang Cheng's last sentence was very good. To a certain extent, it was a subtle misleading in the conference room. The crowd made them feel that there was indeed something wrong with those few Zhongtong people last night.
The bureau chief already knew what Tang Cheng said, but he did not interrupt Tang Cheng. Instead, he motioned for Tang Cheng to continue. Tang Cheng was helpless and could only continue, "I haven't interrogated the field staff of the Central Military Commission last night, so I can't judge the reason why they appeared near the incident site last night. Besides, the bureau chief has said before Well, the murderers who attacked the second operation team were two men in suits. Obviously, these two men in suits are the main targets of our investigation."
While Tang Cheng was speaking, he paid attention to the expression on the bureau chief's face. Under the bureau chief's repeated gestures, Tang Cheng could only bite the bullet and speak. "The situation in the city is complicated right now. I believe everyone can feel it. Especially during this period, troubles are always happening to the Central Military Commission, and they are getting worse each time. If we were to make a fuss about the few Central Military Commission field officers last night at this time, , I believe that the Central Commander will not let it go, and the Chairman will also feel that the Military Commander is unreasonable and unforgiving."
Tang Cheng was the youngest among all the people present. If it weren't for the face of the bureau chief and Zhang Jianghe, many people in the conference room would only regard Tang Cheng as a junior with no reputation. But when they heard that the words "chairman" appeared in Tang Cheng's words, they suddenly discovered that Tang Cheng, who was originally regarded as a junior by them, had a far more sensitive grasp of the situation than they did. At this moment, the bureau chief was also very satisfied with Tang Cheng's words. It was for this reason that he had decided to ignore the few Central Command field officers for the time being.
Among the people in the conference room, perhaps the only one who was dissatisfied was Lao Yu, but it was not that Lao Yu had not thought of what Tang Cheng had just said. Seeing Ju Zuo's reaction at this moment, Lao Yu already understood in his heart that Ju Zuo originally meant this, but he just borrowed Tang Cheng's words to say it. Tang Cheng, who sat down in the chair, also touched Lao Yu gently with his knee at this time, while giving him a helpless expression.
Tang Cheng's reaction further strengthened Lao Yu's thoughts, so he could only sigh secretly and no longer insist on his thoughts. The Bureau actually held this meeting for two purposes. One was to remind everyone not to provoke the Central Committee during this sensitive period. In one, they are trying their best to find the two men in suits who attacked the second operation team last night. The bureau chief specially asked Tang Cheng to attend the meeting because of Tang Cheng's sketching ability. Tang Cheng has obviously thought of this now.
After the meeting, Tang Cheng immediately went to the hospital as requested by the bureau chief, and based on the descriptions of the two injured plainclothes men, he successfully drew a portrait of the two suit cases last night. Seeing that it was still early, Tang Cheng carefully questioned the two injured plainclothes men. According to his judgment, the two men in suits last night were 100% not members of the underground party organization. Since the target was not someone from the underground party, Tang Cheng had no worries. After leaving the hospital, he immediately sent the portrait to the military command headquarters.
At this moment, the atmosphere at the Central Unification Headquarters was extremely tense. Like the Military Unification Headquarters, they also held a meeting early in the morning. The content of the meeting was about a missing team of field personnel from the Central Unification Headquarters. Zhongtong's insiders in the military command had already sent word that an action team of the military command was attacked in the city last night. Two blocks away from the attack site, the missing field team of Zhongtong appeared. Based on the current situation, the Central Commander-in-Chief concluded that their missing personnel had fallen into the hands of the Military Commander-in-Chief.
If he had followed Zhongtong's past behavior, they might have come directly to ask about the important person in charge of the bureau. But last night, the military commanders were attacked in the city, and the location of the incident was very close to where their men had the accident. The senior officials of the Central Unification Committee were thinking about it, and they all felt that at this time, they could no longer anger the military commander, otherwise things would definitely get out of hand. Both the Central Command and the Military Command unanimously chose to control the development of the situation. This was something that many people did not expect. They did not want to see this situation exist.
Both the military commanders and the central commanders have a bad reputation, so many people want to see a fight between the military commanders and the central commanders. Two days later, Tang Cheng, who was still searching for the two men in suits in the city, learned from a robe brother that someone was secretly spreading gossip about Juntong and Zhongtong. Tangcheng did not take it seriously at first, but as time went by, the rumors in the city became more and more intense and became unstoppable.
Things that could be heard in Tangcheng naturally could not escape the ears of the bureau chief. He was so angry that he immediately called Zhongtong. Zhongtong, who received the call from the bureau, was also confused at the moment. They also wanted to control the development of the situation, how could they reveal their own secrets! The bureau representative who had a phone call with Zhongtong came to his senses after hanging up the phone. He also thought that there were rumors in the city that someone was causing trouble. Tang Cheng was once again called to the military command headquarters. The bureau chief asked Tang Cheng to do his best to find those who spread rumors privately.
Tang Cheng had never wanted to get too involved with Juntong, but he also knew that until the situation became clear, he had to stay under the big tree of Juntong for shelter. Therefore, both in public and private matters, he could not refuse this task from the Bureau. Tang Cheng then mobilized all his social connections, first starting from the street, then digging through the cocoons, and finally locked in on a logistics officer named Cheng from the Military and Political Department. Finally finding the person who first spread the rumor, Tang Cheng did not impulsively arrest him, but reported the situation to the bureau.
According to the relationship between the military commander and the Ministry of Military Affairs, it does seem strange that this logistics officer surnamed Cheng would privately spread rumors between the military commander and the central commander. However, after the military commander investigated the social relations of the officer surnamed Cheng, the truth finally came out. The brother-in-law who dared to love this guy was arrested by the military commander last year for smuggling contraband. The officer surnamed Cheng felt that he still had some respect in the Military and Political Department, so he came to the Military Command Headquarters to tell the important people, but he didn't want to get in trouble.
Although no one was punished after that incident, the officer's brother-in-law named Cheng was also released, but the batch of contraband he dumped was detained by the military commander. In this way, the officer surnamed Cheng had become enemies with the military commander. Tang Cheng, who saw the investigation results at this moment, shook his head repeatedly, thinking that this person is really a talent! There are countless high-ranking officials in Chongqing, and no one dares to go against the military commander like this. This guy doesn't want to live anymore!
Tang Cheng didn't know whether the man named Cheng didn't want to live anymore, but after completing his mission, he quietly hid in the military camp and never went out again. "The situation outside is not quite right. It's better for us to stay here honestly, so as not to be targeted and cause trouble." Old policemen like Lao Fu and others are also good people, and now they have more An excuse for dawdling.
