Two seemingly useless smugglers were caught, but Tang Cheng immediately came up with a wait-and-see plan. According to Tang Cheng's arrangement, the four arresting team members quietly moved into the residence of the two smugglers, waiting to pick up the goods. people appear. Because of the help of the garrison, no one else knew about the abandoned docks outside the city. Deputy Captain Huang subsequently captured two batches of smugglers who tried to disembark from these abandoned docks.
Deputy Huang learned the lesson this time. After he caught the person, he immediately ordered that all the captured smugglers be sent to the garrison's farm outside the city before notifying Tangcheng. The garrison's farm outside the city was able to hide even the military aid supplies intercepted by the Central Government, not to mention temporarily imprisoning some smugglers. Tang Cheng, who rushed over after receiving the news, did not identify targets related to Japanese agents from the next two groups of smugglers, but he was full of praise for Deputy Commander Huang's handling of the matter.
The explosives and radio stations that were previously searched had already been sent directly to the military headquarters by Tang Cheng through Zhang Jianghe. The bureau chief was very happy to learn about this, which showed that it was a wise move for him to hand over the task of searching and intercepting Japanese and puppet spies to Tang Cheng. But what he didn't expect was that just after lunch, a gunfight suddenly broke out in the city, and one of the parties in the crossfire was the action team. The gun battle in the city happened so suddenly that even Lao Fu, who was leading the team, did not expect that the target whom they discovered to be acting strangely dared to shoot first.
According to Tang Cheng's order, Lao Fu appeared at the dock with two groups of team members. Their main task was to inspect the dock cargo yard. All morning, Lao Fu and the others were stuck at the dock, but they gained nothing. But Lao Fu didn't expect that when they left the dock to have lunch, they actually found a suspicious target in the eating place. What's more, what he didn't expect was that this suddenly suspicious target suddenly pulled out a gun and shot at them.
Lao Fu and the others were caught off guard. Fortunately, their reaction was not slow. Although two people were injured, it was not fatal. Relying on the strength of their numbers, Lao Fu and the others quickly reversed the situation and chased their target all the way into the south of the city. The action team arrested a lot of people here in the south of the city, especially Tang Cheng who had a good relationship with several paoge cousins in the south of the city. With the help of these local snakes, Lao Fu and the others finally forced the target they shot at into a courtyard. inside.
When Tang Cheng received the news and rushed over, he found that Lao Fu and the others had only surrounded the courtyard but did not attack it. "Captain, it can't blame us for this!" Lao Fu, who came up to report the situation, noticed something was wrong with Tang Cheng's expression, so he immediately started to explain. "We chased the target all the way here, but we didn't expect that the yard the target entered was a stronghold recently established by Zhongtong in Nancheng!"
Tang Cheng was immediately dumbfounded by the situation reported by Lao Fu. He did not expect that Zhongtong would be so unlucky. Seeing that Tang Cheng's expression softened, Lao Fu secretly winked to his left side, "Captain, those people over there are the Zhongtong people! We tried to launch attacks several times, but they were stopped every time. Come down, because there are still some of their people in the yard, and they were taken hostage by the target. Although they didn't say it explicitly, I feel that the people in the yard must be very important to them!"
Tang Cheng followed Lao Fu's eyes and looked over. It happened that a few people from the Central Government over there were also looking this way, and Tang Cheng's eyes met with one of them. The expressionless Tang Cheng immediately looked away, and then whispered to Lao Fu, "Since the matter has something to do with Zhongtong, let's just wait and see the show! Let me tell you, without my order, we must not act rashly! We If you don’t commit the crime, work for the Central Government and be careful about taking the blame later!”
Lao Fu, who originally planned to stand aside and watch the excitement, immediately agreed with a smile. Now that Tang Cheng has arrived, he has a backbone. The people of Zhongtong were reluctant to make a decision. As time went by, more and more people knew about this matter. Soon some plainclothes military commanders came after hearing the news and found that Tang Cheng was also here, so they immediately came over to inquire about the news. When Tang Cheng saw all the familiar faces, he laughed and told the whole story.
After learning the inside story, the plainclothes military commander secretly despised Zhongtong and made the same choice as Tang Cheng, just standing aside and watching the fun. The appearance of their sworn enemy made Zhongtong and the others feel like they were riding a tiger. They were forced to launch a hasty attack, but they didn't want to be forced into the yard and fired several shots at the target, forcing him back. The Zhongtong plainclothes officers, who failed to attack, did not intend to end the attack hastily, but immediately launched a new round of attacks.
Relying on the advantage of large numbers and at the cost of several casualties, Zhongtong's people finally rushed into the courtyard. Unfortunately, only one person was forced into the courtyard, and he died under random gunfire. "Captain, I saw it!" After the gunfire stopped, Lao Fu hurriedly got off the roof of a nearby store and hurried to Tang Cheng's side. "I saw with my own eyes that after the Zhongtong people killed the hotshot, someone immediately rushed into the main house."
The situation reported by Lao Fu made Tang Cheng secretly think about it. The reaction of the Zhongtong people could only mean that there must be someone or something they care about very much in the main room. Just as Tang Cheng was thinking secretly, Lao Fu, who was standing next to him, suddenly stretched out his hand and patted Tang Cheng. After Tang Cheng came back to his senses, he followed Lao Fu's line of sight and saw a few plainclothes officers walking out of the yard. Among them, they were clearly protecting a middle-aged man wearing a top hat.
Tang Cheng did not order his team members to follow these plainclothes central commanders. Instead, when the plainclothes military commanders around him were discussing secretly, he secretly used system skills to secretly scan the identity of the middle-aged man. Huh? The results of the skill scan surprised Tang Cheng. He did not expect that the middle-aged man protected by the plainclothes of the Central Government would actually be a confidant sent to Chongqing by Wang Jingwei. Tang Cheng's expression subconsciously became serious. Wang Jingwei sent people to Chongqing at this time, and it must not be to incite rebellion against officials in the government.
Could it be that even Wang Jingwei saw that the Japanese were doomed and was looking for a way out for himself in advance? Thinking of this, Tang Cheng deliberately said with a serious face, "Look at the person they are protecting, he doesn't look like an underground party member who was caught! Just the hat on his head, it's not a bargain! Also! The pair of leather shoes he ordered to wear are a bit like the style of Nanjing Henry Shoe Store. Before I came to Chongqing, I had the same style of leather shoes made at Henry Shoe Store, and they were not cheap!"
Tang Cheng's words were intentional and meant for the plainclothes military commanders around him. Judging from the reactions of these guys, it was obvious that they had taken Tang Cheng's words to heart. After secretly using system skills to target the middle-aged man, Tang Cheng then led the people away as if nothing had happened. As for whether these plainclothes military commanders would report the incident, that was not something Tang Cheng needed to worry about. Something happened. Things developed just as Tang Cheng hoped. After these military plainclothes officers returned to the military headquarters, they truthfully reported to their superiors what they saw and what Tang Cheng said.
The report of the incident, level by level, finally reached the bureau. When the bureau learned that Tang Cheng was also at the scene, the suspicions he had in his heart were instantly magnified. After the authorities carefully thought about Tang Cheng's words, he couldn't help but froze, and an extremely weird idea appeared in his mind. At this time, Tang Cheng had already brought people to the dock. He didn't know when this incident would be detonated. What he had to do was to stay out of the incident and not be suspected by anyone.
There are many ways to avoid being suspected first, but Tang Cheng chose the most direct one, which is to keep himself busy first. As long as he has gained something, no one will doubt him. Facts have proved that Tang Cheng's choice was correct. After the bureau chief called the Nan'an Villa, the Central Government had no choice but to conceal it. After receiving the call from the Chairman himself, the Central Government could only He was secretly sent to the South Bank Villa.
When the Chairman learned that the lobbyist sent to Chongqing by Wang Jingwei had arrived in Chongqing three days ago, he couldn't help but become suspicious of the Central Unification. When they learned that the Chairman was furious because of this matter, the senior officials of the Central Unification Committee actively thought about how to deal with it and began to clear out all those who knew the inside story of the matter. When they investigated why this matter was leaked, Tang Cheng came into their sight. Some of them even suspected that the previous shootout and pursuit in Nancheng were all caused by Tang Cheng.
If there hadn't been someone from the action team chasing the target in Nancheng, the secret stronghold of the Central Commander in Nancheng would not have been exposed. In addition, what the action team is best at is inquiring about various information and searching for enemies in the city. Therefore, Zhongtong has reason to believe that Tangcheng deliberately used the so-called arrest operation to specifically expose this matter. But this is just their speculation, and they don't have any evidence to prove that Tang Cheng planned this incident.
After Tangcheng learned about Zhongtong's attitude from Zhang Jianghe, it didn't take it seriously at all. Instead, it spread the matter to almost everyone through the channels of the garrison in the city. Faced with the worries of Deputy Captain Huang and others, Tang Cheng's answer was very simple, "Only when the inside story of the matter is spread to everyone, the Central Government will be even more helpless against me! What's more, They don’t have any evidence to prove that these things are related to me!”
As the news spread, things developed just as Tang Cheng expected. The news that the Wang Puppet Government sent people to Chongqing for negotiations disappeared, and it was even known to almost everyone in the city. The most angry person was the Chairman. The current Zhongtong has been so overwhelmed that it has almost come to a standstill. Where do they still have the thought and time to think about Tangcheng.
