Ink-colored dark clouds enveloped the entire sky, just like a drunken god in the sky who accidentally knocked over the inkstone and splashed a pool of ink on the world, plunging the entire city into darkness. Suddenly, lightning pierced the sky and tore the black curtain apart.
, drew a ray of light, and then a thrilling thunder struck down, and the heavy rain poured down, as if the Milky Way was cut open. The wind and rain mixed together into one piece, wrapping everything in it, letting the violent storm, lightning, and thunder
Raging overhead.
In the street shrouded by strong winds and heavy rain, a black car staggered around the corner in the storm. The wiper wiped the rain off the car window back and forth, but it still greatly affected the driver's vision, so the speed of the car
It has been very slow. In such weather, no one was out and about on the street at all. This car traveling in the rain immediately became the object of attention of the idle people in the many buildings on both sides of the street.
Hans, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, had already lost his usual composure at this moment. When he put his hand on his forehead, he cursed damn in his heart. Although what happened in Hongkou District was tightly blocked by the Japanese army,
There is no airtight wall in this world. In just two days, the murder case in the izakaya house in Hongkou District has already spread. Hans only learned about it this morning. It was only after he learned that the murderer used the weapon in the izakaya murder case.
After buying the mp18 gun, Hans immediately thought of the mp18 gun he sold to Tangcheng.
MP18 weapons are not uncommon in China, but this kind of German-style weapons are almost all distributed to the army in China. Such weapons are rare in the black market. The details of the izakaya murder case were obtained from the informant
After recording, Hans immediately rushed to Tang Cheng's uncle and nephew's current residence in the rain. He wanted to question Tang Cheng face to face. After all, if this matter got bigger, he might be implicated.
The car driving in the rain soon stopped outside the door of a small western-style building in the French Concession. This was the place Hans had arranged for his uncle and nephew in Tangcheng. The people living around here were also prominent figures in the French Concession. Press the doorbell.
Not long after, a middle-aged foreigner opened the door from the inside, said hello to Hans outside the door, and secretly winked at Hans. The latter nodded knowingly, which meant that the damn boy did not
Go out.
After learning that Hans had come in the rain, Tang Cheng, who had been hiding in his study to clean his gun early in the morning, did not alert Zhang Jianghe and directly invited Hans into the study on the second floor. "Tang, tell me.
To be honest, does that incident in Hongkou District have something to do with you?" Hans was not spending time leisurely with Tang Cheng here. After sitting down in the study, he went straight to the topic and asked Tang Cheng about Hongkou.
Things to do in the district.
Tang Cheng did not answer immediately, but first gave Hans a glass of wine and stretched out his hand to hand it to him. Then he sat across from Hans and said with a smile. "Mr. Second Lieutenant, please don't tell me that the main reason you are here today is
For this matter?" Tang Cheng's attitude made Hans a little anxious, but before he could speak, Tang Cheng continued. "Hongkou District is the territory of the Japanese, what does this have to do with you? Could it be that Te Gao
Do you suspect that you did it?"
"Damn it, what time has it been? You're still here talking around in circles with me!" Hansten suddenly stood up from the sofa and threw the glass of wine in his hand to the ground. "I just said
After getting the news, the Special High School has confirmed that the murderer was using MP18 ***. This type of *** is currently not available in the black market. When I say this, you should understand what I mean, right?"
Hans's glaring look made Tang Cheng couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Mr. Second Lieutenant, please sit down and calm down first. I didn't say that I wasn't the one who did it!" After Hans sat down again,
After coming down, Tang Cheng poured another glass of wine for the other party. "You can ask me this question specifically, which means that you almost know the identity of our uncle and nephew. Then you should also know what happened in the concession a month ago.
There was a street shootout, and my uncle was injured that time, by the Japanese."
"Damn it! I just think this thing is weird. You are here to avenge your uncle!" Hans, who finally realized it, reached out and hit his head. The street scene that happened in the concession a month ago
How could Hans not know about the gunfight, but he had never connected Zhang Jianghe with that incident. "My uncle is the special correspondent sent to Shanghai from the Nanjing headquarters of the Intelligence Agency. The Japanese target is him, but the Japanese
People don’t expect that my uncle escaped death.”
"You mean, this incident was planned and implemented behind the Extra High School Course?" Hans, who finally understood, was no longer as angry as before. After calming down, he finally regained his usual wisdom.
"Yes, the ambush on my uncle was planned and implemented by the Special High School. I went to Hongkou District that night because the main person behind the plan was in the izakaya. I originally just wanted to assassinate that person.
I just didn't expect that things suddenly changed. The plan changed, so I had to kill all the Japanese in the izakaya, otherwise I would be in danger of being completely exposed." Tang Cheng cleverly told Hans, but in fact
The main reason why he killed everyone in the izakaya was because there were too many Japanese officers in the izakaya that night.
Hans failed to see through Tang Cheng's lies, because if he had been in Tang Cheng's situation at that time, he might have made the same choice. Although Tang Cheng had admitted that he was responsible for the murder at the izakaya, Hans
But there are still many doubts that Tang Cheng wants to answer face to face. For example, if Tang Cheng knew that the target mission would appear in the izakaya, and for example, after killing everyone in the izakaya, how did Tang Cheng leave Hongkou District safely?
without being discovered by patrolling Japanese troops.
"Mr. Second Lieutenant, you seem to have forgotten that my uncle is a special correspondent sent to Shanghai by the Intelligence Agency. Although he is injured and can no longer handle daily affairs, he is still a special correspondent from the Nanjing headquarters. The Shanghai Station of the Intelligence Agency is not always a freeloader.
Now that we have determined who the mastermind behind it is, why don't we do more related investigations?" Faced with Hans' doubts, Tang Cheng generously gave the credit for obtaining clues to Shanghai Station.
Tang Cheng’s answers were so flawless that Hans failed to find what really needed attention. However, Hans was not that easy to coax. From Tang Cheng’s answers, Hans clearly felt that Tang Cheng would still look for it.
The trouble of the Japanese. "Tang, you can't do this. There are hundreds of thousands of Japanese in Shanghai and even more in China. No matter how powerful you are, you won't be able to kill them all, let alone those ordinary Japanese expatriates.
They are all just innocent people." Hans wanted to persuade Tangcheng to give up the follow-up actions against Hongkou District, but Tangcheng did not appreciate it.
"Mr. Second Lieutenant, I came to you for help because of Joseph. Joseph and I are good friends, and you and Joseph are colleagues. I don't know when you Germans really became good friends with the Japanese! If you
If you think I will cause trouble to you, then I can find another place to live, but you have to promise me that my uncle must receive the best care and treatment if he stays here." Tang Cheng was also unambiguous, seeing that Han
After understanding what Si was thinking, Tang Cheng gave Hans a positive answer.
Tang Cheng left Zhang Jianghe here and chose to move out on his own. Hans had nothing to say, especially after he knew that the young man in front of him was the real culprit behind the massacre of more than 50 people in one night. "Tang, you know
, I didn’t mean that. I just said, before you do such a thing again in the future, can you think carefully about the consequences." Hans’s words were not very clear, but Tang Cheng had already heard what the other party wanted to express.
.
"Mr. Second Lieutenant, the Special High School confirmed that the murderer used MP18 bombs. This is not an important matter. After all, there is a garrison of the government here in Shanghai, and a few MP18 bombs leaked out of the garrison. It does not matter.
What a big deal. You don’t have to worry so much. Besides, the Japanese have no evidence to implicate you. If you are worried, I can also help the Japanese to shift their attention to the French or the British. After all, the Japanese have no regard for the British and French.
What a good impression."
Tangcheng wanted to divert the trouble to the east, but Hans did not dare to agree. Hans, who pretended to be an American, was determined not to make provocations against Britain and France before receiving orders from his superiors. "Mr. Second Lieutenant, you are a human being.
Intelligence agent! How can you be so cowardly? If you can provoke fights and conflicts between the Japanese and Britain and France, I think your superiors will not blame you. On the contrary, they should award you with a medal."
Neither Hans nor Tang Cheng could convince the other to change their decision. However, after talking with Tang Cheng, Hans and Tang Cheng reached an agreement. Within the next week, Hans used himself to
Tang Cheng's channels helped Tang Cheng collect relevant intelligence, and Tang Cheng had to help Hans clean up a British secret hideout in the French Concession. "Deal!" Tang Cheng's two right hands clasped together tightly.
After more than an hour of closed-door conversation, the two finally reached some agreement. Tang Cheng did not mind Hans using him, and Hans also wanted to use this opportunity to see with his own eyes how powerful Tang Cheng was. For Han
For Si, Tang Cheng is full of secrets, and he needs time to unravel these secrets one by one. At this time, Tang Cheng just wants to use Hans's intelligence channels to collect more information about the special high-level courses, and prepare for the future.
Down follow-up actions create opportunities.
On the way back to the restaurant, Hans in the car suddenly realized that he went to ask about Tang Cheng in the rain today. He originally went there with anger. But now, instead of being angry, he was a little complacent with Tang Cheng.
The agreement reached during the period, is this what the Chinese call a cheap guy! (To be continued)
