Deputy Captain Huang's words made Tang Cheng frown, wondering what kind of reason this was! Although Blackbeard's reputation in Chongqing is not good, Blackbeard is a smart man. He didn't have the guts to break through the anti-smuggling department's checkpoint. "I also think this matter is fishy!" Deputy Captain Huang, who is also familiar with people from all walks of life in Chongqing, also agrees with Tang Cheng's judgment. But the problem now is that the Anti-Smuggling Department used this nonsense reason to arrest Blackbeard and the others.
"What happened to the batch of cigarettes on the dock?" Tang Cheng suddenly thought of a question. From the experience of Blackbeard, it is not difficult to see that the batch of cigarettes detained on the dock by the anti-smuggling department was simply a bait. Now that Blackbeard has been taken away by the Anti-Smuggling Department, the Yang Laoqi brothers may be the final winners. Deputy Captain Huang shook his head when he heard this. The people he placed on the dock did not notice this. The dock was now full of news that Blackbeard and the others were taken away by the anti-smuggling department.
"Forget it! Now that we know that the anti-smuggling department's actions are a trap, and we have been involved, who knows what else will happen next..." Before Tang Cheng could finish his words, the phone in the study room rang again. The caller this time was not from Deputy Head Huang, but from the bureau secretary. Tang Cheng did not expect that what happened on the dock would be known to the Bureau so quickly. The bureau secretary made this call just to ask if Tang Cheng was related to what happened at the dock. In front of Deputy Head Huang, Tang Cheng gave an affirmative answer.
"Don't worry, I haven't been out in the past few days! I just learned about what happened on the dock! Yes, the actions of the Anti-Smuggling Department are clearly a trap, and they have no reasonable reason to take Blackbeard away. ! You can see that the Anti-Smuggling Department is setting up a trap, how could I still participate in such a thing! Besides, that Blackbeard is not mine, so I don’t have the time to pay attention to them." Tang Cheng’s answer on the phone, The bureau secretary on the other side of the phone seemed to be very satisfied. After the other party gave Tang Cheng a few words, he hung up the phone. Deputy Captain Huang, who had been eavesdropping on the phone, waited for Tang Cheng to hang up the phone before asking Tang Cheng softly.
"It's from the military command headquarters. They have also received the news! It seems that we are not the only ones who feel something is wrong!" Tang Cheng nodded knowingly, indicating that Deputy Commander Huang had no suspicion. The latter immediately grabbed the table Cigarettes, lit a cigarette for myself. As time went by, what happened on the dock became known to more people, including Zhongtong. Tangcheng and the others didn't know that what happened at the dock really had nothing to do with Zhongtong, but who made the Anti-Smuggling Department get close to Zhongtong? Many people in the city associated this matter with Zhongtong .
Tang Cheng didn't think that much. The anti-smuggling department couldn't catch anyone if they arrested him. Moreover, Tang Cheng had already seen that this was a trap, so he wouldn't join in stupidly. Tang Cheng was hiding at home and did not go out, and Blackbeard and the others, who were taken away by the anti-smuggling department, have not shown up for a long time. Things seemed to be getting more and more interesting. In the afternoon of the next day, Tang Cheng received another call from the secretary of the bureau, saying that the bureau wanted Tang Cheng to go to the hospital immediately. There should be something for Tang Cheng to handle.
Tang Cheng did not dare to neglect, and immediately went to the army hospital where the bureau chief was staying. In the ward of the bureau chief, there were two military commanders who were familiar with Tang Cheng. "I believe you all know the news that the Anti-Smuggling Department arrested people in Pier Hill! The military commander received the news that the batch of tobacco seized by the Anti-Smuggling Department came from outside the customs and was a test operation by the Japanese Kwantung Army. According to intelligence, the top brass of the Japanese Kwantung Army have already Foreseeing Japan's failure, they used this batch of smoke as a test, just to find a way out for the Kwantung Army, or to obtain a guarantee for their future life."
The news revealed by the bureau chief surprised Tang Cheng. Coming from a later generation, he certainly knew about the non-dealing between the Japanese Kwantung Army and the Japanese government. According to the Kwantung Army files declassified by the Soviet army after World War II, the Japanese Kwantung Army at that time did not agree with launching military operations against the entire China. Compared with the radical Japanese army and navy, the Kwantung Army was more inclined to build the Manchukuo they single-handedly supported. On the eve of Japan's surrender, the Kwantung Army had secretly transferred funds and important materials such as precious metals, wood, and coal to the Japanese mainland.
If the batch of tobacco seized by the Anti-Smuggling Department was a test by the Japanese Kwantung Army, then the Kwantung Army may have already started transferring funds and supplies to Japan. The bureau chief didn't seem to notice the change in Tang Cheng's expression at this moment, and just continued, "The anti-smuggling department only arrested Blackbeard's group. The people sent by the Kwantung Army to escort the cigarettes, however, managed to escape from the dock and are now hiding at the dock. In the city of Chongqing. I called you here just to find out where these people are."
When the Bureau's words mentioned those who escorted the opium, they did not use Japanese to identify them. This shows that the people sent by the Kwantung Army to escort the opium were probably not Japanese, but so-called Manchus. Tang Cheng frowned slightly when he heard this. The bureau chief and others focused on the person escorting the cigarettes, but what Tang Cheng thought of was the person who would receive the cigarettes. Even if this was a test move by the Kwantung Army, they would not send such a large batch of smoke and soil carelessly. Someone in Chongqing must have contacted them.
According to Tang Cheng's understanding of the bureau leader, he didn't believe that the bureau leader couldn't see the problem. However, since the bureau leader didn't say it clearly, Tang Cheng could only hide his suspicion in his heart and didn't mention it. Searches and arrests are Tang Cheng's strong point. The two teams of plainclothes soldiers called by the bureau chief were just to cooperate with Tang Cheng. After receiving the mission, Tang Cheng did not stay in the hospital, but immediately took people to the dock to investigate. When Tang Cheng and his people rushed to the dock, they happened to catch up with Yang Laoqi and the others, who were still getting close to the people from the anti-smuggling department in the dock yard.
Seeing Tang Cheng appear, Yang Laoqi immediately changed his expression. Without waiting for Tang Cheng to approach, he took his men and left without looking back. Compared with the arrogant and domineering Blackbeard, Yang Laoqi seems to do things fairly, but in fact he likes to do things behind his back. When the black market in the military camp first opened, Yang Laoqi tried to use dominance to acquire a batch of materials from Tangcheng at a low price. He originally thought that the search team had been disbanded, and Tang Cheng was just a phoenix that had lost its hair, but he did not expect that even if it was a phoenix that had lost its hair, it was still a phoenix, and it was definitely not something someone like him could bully.
Without Deputy Commander Huang taking action, Tang Cheng led the arresting team members who lived in the backyard of the military camp and imprisoned Yang Laoqi and his gang in the dungeon in the backyard of the military camp. After some tricks, Yang Laoqi knelt down and begged for mercy, and said that he would take the initiative to retreat when he saw Tangcheng in the future. Tang Cheng, who also saw Yang Laoqi, was not in the mood to cause trouble with him at this time. He just showed his military commander's ID and controlled the people from the anti-smuggling department first. There is absolutely nothing trivial about the cases investigated by the military commander. Although these guys from the Anti-Smuggling Department were impatient, they did not dare to resist.
Tang Cheng has a unique skill in sketching portraits. Not many people in the military know about it. These plainclothes military commanders who followed Tang Cheng to the dock saw Tang Cheng's unique skill with their own eyes today. According to the descriptions of these members of the Anti-Smuggling Division, Tangcheng spent more than two hours and finally, after constant revisions, drew suitable portraits of the people the Bureau was looking for. "Take them and make them into photos. Just give me thirty photos." The thirty photos Tang Cheng asked for were to be distributed to the stores in the city that were originally part of the search team.
Although the search team has been disbanded, Tangcheng has not taken back the shops in the city. The people who run these shops will still search for any suspicious clues. In other words, these shops are like eyes that spy on everything. They used to work for the search team, but now they only serve Tangcheng. Before it got dark, Tang Cheng had done everything he should do, and the next step was to calm down and wait for the news. The next morning, Tang Cheng began to lead people to inspect these shops in the city, and analyze and identify all the clues they provided to find out the truly effective information.
In a safe house provided by the military commander, a large number of papers with intelligence written on them were piled on the table. What Tang Cheng and the others had to do next was to sort and identify these papers with intelligence written on them. In the yard outside the door, two groups of military command operatives were waiting. Their task was to identify suspicious targets that appeared in the investigation clues based on the clues sent from the house. By dinner time, Tangcheng and the others had continuously screened hundreds of information clues, and the plainclothes military commanders who were working in the field were also very tired.
At the end of the day, after sifting through hundreds of clues, they failed to find the real target, and everyone was not in a good mood. Tang Cheng, who came out of the house to smoke, saw this and laughed at them, "This is only the first day, why are you all so exhausted? It is said that the previous search team was good at hunting down Japanese spies lurking in Chongqing city. Could it be that you think that the Japanese and puppet spies we found just bumped into us on their own initiative!"
"To tell you the truth, we were like this at the beginning. We analyzed and screened out hundreds of clues and intelligence one by one, and also conducted on-site investigations. Only then could we finally determine whether the person we were targeting was a Japanese spy! So with you Let’s put it bluntly, there is never a shortcut to success. Only sweat and hard work can yield results! Moreover, many times, efforts and gains are not directly proportional.”
Tang Cheng said this partly as a joke and partly to hide the secret that he owns the system. Tangcheng wants to use the mouths of these plainclothes military commanders to publicize this method of searching for a needle in a haystack. Let those people in the city who have been secretly watching you automatically give up paying attention to you, because this kind of manpower and energy-consuming search method can be done by anyone who is not a fool.
