Zhang Jianghe had no intention of leaving, so Tang Cheng, who was anxious in his heart, did not dare to show his anxiety. In order not to let Zhang Jianghe see any flaws, Tang Cheng simply took out chess and played against Zhang Jianghe in the study. Zhang Jianghe was equally anxious at the moment, and he also didn't want Tang Cheng to see the flaw. Faced with Tang Cheng's request for a game, Zhang Jianghe could only pretend to cooperate. The two people, who had their own thoughts, actually played chess in the study room and waited until it got dark before Zhang Jianghe chose to say goodbye and leave.
When Zhang Jianghe left, he left in a hurry, which made Tang Cheng become more suspicious. However, he didn't care much about Zhang Jianghe's actions, because he knew that Zhang Jianghe alone might not be able to persuade the tavern owner to leave tonight. A quarter of an hour later, Tang Cheng, dressed in short clothes, climbed out of the backyard wall and disappeared into the night. Tangcheng's method is very simple. Find the stronghold of Chongqing's underground party organization in the city, and through them, pass on the news that the tavern has been monitored by the Central Government.
Before intercepting the Japanese and puppet agents at the abandoned dock outside the city, Tang Cheng led his team members and circled around the city. Although he did not find a few lurking Japanese and puppet spies, he found at least three strongholds of Chongqing's underground party organizations in the city. Among the three Chongqing underground party strongholds that have been identified by Tangcheng, one is only four streets away from the small street where Tang's family is located, which is the closest to the tavern. Under the cover of night, Tang Cheng, wearing short clothes, quickly moved along the street.
At the same time, Zhang Jianghe was also ready to go out at night. Unfortunately, as soon as he walked out of the house, he was blocked by a disciple of Master Ma whom Tang Cheng had told him about. "Sir Zhang, our young master has told us not to go out tonight! If something happens, you must first think about the safety of your family!" Zhang Jianghe naturally knew the person who stopped Zhang Jianghe. Looking at the attitude of the other two, Zhang Jianghe knew that he would not be able to go out tonight, so he could only turn around and enter the house again.
Tangcheng arranged for someone to stop Zhang Jianghe because he didn't want Zhang Jianghe to go out tonight. After all, Zhang Jianghe was missing an arm and would most likely be recognized by the plainclothes Zhongtong who was monitoring the tavern. Moving quickly to Tangcheng under the cover of darkness was not very smooth either. When we were still one block away from the stronghold of the Chongqing underground party organization, two men suspected of being plainclothes spies suddenly appeared at the intersection of the street not far in front of Tangcheng. Tang Cheng could only stop first, use the shadows on the street to hide his figure, and wait for the two people to leave at the intersection.
However, the two men who appeared at the intersection did not leave immediately, and judging from their posture, they looked more like they were waiting for someone at the intersection. After a dozen breaths, seeing the other party leaving without intention, Tang Cheng could only walk back along the way. Who would have thought that Tang Cheng had only moved back a dozen meters when two gunshots suddenly rang out not far away. Tang Cheng was startled and immediately turned around, just in time to see the two men at the street entrance, already from waist to waist. He took out his pistol and immediately pointed the gun towards their left side and shot.
The sound of gunshots occurred very suddenly, and the two plainclothes agents at the intersection reacted very quickly. This time, Tang Cheng did not stay where he was to watch the fun, but immediately returned the same way he came, climbing over the back wall back home. Sure enough, Tang Cheng, who had changed into his pajamas, had just gone to bed when he was woken up by Zhang Jianghe who came to the door in a hurry. Tang Cheng, who pretended to be asleep, secretly observed Zhang Jianghe's reaction and said to himself that Zhang Jianghe didn't notice the flaw.
Zhang Jianghe, who was secretly worried about the tavern, was not sleepy at all. When he heard the gunfire, he immediately came to Tang Cheng and found that Tang Cheng was sleeping at home. He was secretly relieved. When Zhang Jianghe was stopped by Ma Ye's apprentice when he went out, he had already become suspicious of Tang Cheng. Now he confirmed that Tang Cheng was sleeping at home. Although the suspicion in his heart had not completely dissipated, at least he could now confirm that the gunfire outside was similar to the Tangcheng has nothing to do with it. Tang Cheng was pulled up from the bed by Zhang Jianghe. Although he was impatient, he still followed Zhang Jianghe out of the door.
When the two of them walked through the small street, they found that there was nothing strange about the tavern at the intersection. Zhang Jianghe secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The location where the gunshots occurred was not very far from the small street. However, by the time Zhang Jiang and the two of them arrived at the location of the incident, police and several military plainclothes officers had already appeared. Discovering that the visitors were Zhang Jianghe and Tang Cheng, the plainclothes military commander who had appeared here earlier came over to say hello and reported the situation to Zhang Jianghe and the deputy director of the headquarters' logistics department.
Tang Cheng ignored the interaction between Zhang Jianghe and the plainclothes military commanders, and only started to observe the situation at the scene after talking in a low voice with the police protecting the scene. The police were the first to arrive here, but when they arrived, there was no one at the scene, and there were only two pools of blood. Tangcheng was lucky. He quickly found two bullet holes in the outer walls of the street shops and dug out two warheads from the bullet holes. "Look around and see if you can find bullet casings!"
After seeing the bullets found in Tangcheng, Zhang Jiang and the plainclothes police and military commanders who immediately commanded the scene began to search the scene of the incident. The bullets found in Tangcheng were obviously rifle bullets. Therefore, Zhang Jianghe judged that the corresponding bullet casings should not be within close range. Tang Cheng agreed with Zhang Jianghe's view, so he immediately began to judge the direction and approximate location of the shooter's shooting based on the location of the bullet holes on the outer wall of the store. At the same time, Tang Cheng was also secretly wondering whether the gunfire he heard at that time came from a rifle.
Facts have proved that Zhang Jianghe’s inference was not wrong. Tangcheng, who was walking eastward along the street, soon found two rifle bullets on the roof near the end of the street, 60 meters away from the incident. bullet casings. The location of the gunman at that time was confirmed, but no other available clues were found. This discovery in Tangcheng was of little use. At most, it could be regarded as additional circumstantial evidence when the case was finally closed. However, Tang Cheng was not depressed. From the position where the gunman fired, Tang Cheng could already determine that the gunman's marksmanship was not very good.
When Tang Cheng jumped off the roof with a bullet casing, Zhang Jiang and a few more plainclothes military commanders were beside him. They all rushed over from the military commander headquarters after receiving the call. It was now approaching midnight and early in the morning. Zhang Jianghe left all the remaining matters to the people from the second office and took Tang Cheng home to sleep. Zhang Jianghe did not expect that Tang Cheng, who had just returned home, would leave the Tang family's backyard again. Tang Cheng had not forgotten his previous plan.
After leaving the backyard, Tang Cheng quietly hid on the street corner, waiting for the plainclothes military commanders in the distance to leave in a chaotic manner. Then he followed the previous route and moved towards the underground party stronghold closest to him. The gunfire just now also alerted members of the Chongqing underground party organization in this stronghold, but they did not come out to inquire. He Kun, who had been listening to the noise in the yard, felt relieved when he faintly heard the plainclothes military commanders and policemen who had appeared earlier leaving in a noisy manner.
But his relaxation did not last long. He Kun, who had just returned to the house and drank a cup of herbal tea, heard noises coming from the yard. He Kun, who was shocked, immediately pulled out the pistol from under the pillow, leaned sideways to the window with a nervous look on his face, and carefully looked at the yard through the gap in the window. He Kun was always careful when doing things, but unfortunately he waited for a long time and found nothing unusual in the yard. Being daring, he then walked out of the house with his pistol raised, only to find a medium-sized stone at the door.
He Kun did not immediately pick up the stones on the ground, but immediately moved to the wall, preparing to step on the tile jar under the wall and observe the situation outside the yard from the top of the wall. He Kun's left hand had just reached the top of the wall when he felt a hard object pressing against his lower back while he was standing on the vat. "Don't move around. I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, I might go off and kill you!" A slightly deeper voice appeared behind He Kun. He Kun, who felt tense in his heart, subconsciously tensed up his body, but the person behind him already chuckled in a low voice.
"If I were you, I would never think of making a move of resistance! First, no matter how much you want to resist, you will never pull the trigger as fast as I can. Second, you are a member of the Chongqing underground party. Here This is your contact point. You definitely don’t want this place to be exposed and known to the Zhongtong people. As long as a gun is fired here, whether you die or not, the Zhongtong will follow the traces left here and find out who you have been in contact with. Everyone, among these people, there must be your companions.”
The words of the person behind him had already caused cold sweat to break out from He Kun's back. Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew that what the other person said was right. But before He Kun could speak, the person behind him continued, "Don't worry, I'm not an enemy of your underground party! I came to you tonight because I need someone who can convey the message to your underground party." Another contact point of the party in the city has been targeted by the Central Military Commission. You must notify the people in that contact point in the shortest possible time and evacuate immediately, preferably leaving Chongqing."
"I also know that the way we meet may make you suspicious and think that I am a spy for the Central Military Commission. This is not important. What is important is that if you linger, the contact point targeted by the Central Military Commission will... There is a possibility of being completely exposed." Tang Cheng, who was standing behind He Kun, was speaking, but he stuffed a note into He Kun's hand, then reached out and grabbed the back of He Kun's neck, forcing him to lower his head and return. inside the house.
Tang Cheng did not enter the house, nor did he take away He Kun's pistol. He simply climbed over the wall and left quickly after He Kun was forced into the house. He Kun, who was pushed into the house by Tang Cheng, was still confused at the moment. By the time he came back to his senses, there was no movement in the yard. He Kun suppressed the panic in his heart and carefully read the note left by Tang Cheng. After thinking for a moment, He Kun quietly left the residence.
