Tang Cheng, who was looking for surveillance records on the way back, had no interest in the gangsters outside the small building, so after going downstairs, he just walked quietly along the way he came. A few minutes later, Tang Cheng returned to the road where he happened to meet Xu Huanshan.
In the alley, I leaned against the courtyard door and listened for a while, then stretched out my hands to climb on the wall and climbed into the courtyard. With the help of the light from the window, Tang Cheng, who had fallen into the courtyard, moved lightly to the window sill, Xu Huanshan
The sound came clearly from the window.
"Old Tan, the organization sent me to Shanghai this time, and there is another task for me..." Tang Cheng, who was squatting outside the window, just confirmed that Xu Huanshan was in the house, and stretched out his hand before Xu Huanshan finished speaking.
He knocked on the window three times with his left hand. Xu Huanshan and the two people in the room were horrified by the sudden knocking sound. Xu Huanshan turned off the light and looked at the thin old Tan who had already pulled out his pistol.
They came out and listened intently, but there was no movement outside the door.
Lao Tan, who was standing sideways behind the door, slowly stretched out his left hand and suddenly opened the door. There seemed to be nothing in the yard. With a confused look on his face, Lao Tan walked out of the room with a pistol in hand, only to find a small cloth bag on the window sill.
"Exposed, evacuate quickly!" The note on the cloth bag had seven big characters written on it. Lao Tan, who didn't know what was going on, returned to the room with the cloth bag and the note, and brought the cloth bag. What Xu Huanshan and the two saw was
A dozen pieces of paper written in Japanese.
This is a secret stronghold of Shanghai’s underground party. Xu Huanshan and Lao Tan are not the only ones here. Among Lao Tan’s men, there are those who are proficient in Japanese. “This is a surveillance record!” Lao Tan’s men are proficient in Japanese.
After reading the dozens of pieces of paper, they gave Lao Tan and Xu Huanshan a positive answer. Comparing the words "man in top hat" and "middle-aged man with beard" that appeared many times in this surveillance record, Xu Huanshan and Lao Tan looked at each other.
They have already made a judgment in their hearts that this surveillance record is definitely related to them. Thinking about the note again, Xu Huanshan and the two people changed their expressions. This place must be targeted by the Japanese.
"Although we still don't know whether the person who reported to us is an enemy or a friend, judging from these things, the other party's purpose is just to remind us!" Xu Huanshan pointed at the surveillance records on the table with his hand. "These things should be
From the hands of the monitor, we tentatively infer that someone is monitoring this place, but the monitor was discovered by a third party. In Shanghai, the only ones who dare to go against the Japanese are some institutions of the Kuomintang, not counting us. Lao Tan, at this time, we can
This is not the time to act impulsively. I think we should withdraw first!"
It is very difficult for the underground party organizations in Shanghai to survive. Not only do they have to face the pursuit of the Japanese, but they also have to face the encirclement and suppression by the Central Government. Xu Huanshan's judgment is somewhat ambiguous, but Lao Tan already has a vague guess in his mind, but now
This is not a good time to pursue this. The most important thing is to disperse the people here and evacuate immediately. Thanks to the tip-off from Tangcheng, the Shanghai underground party’s silent stronghold in this alley was established before the concession patrol arrived.
We have safely evacuated this place.
A surveillance point arranged by the Special High School Class in the concession was taken away. Two members of the Special High School Class in charge of the surveillance point were also killed at the surveillance point. Oshima Ueno, who came after hearing the news, appeared in the small
When they were in the courtyard of the building, they learned that the surveillance records had also been taken away. "Nani? There are no surveillance records and a telescope? This is a bit interesting!" He looked at the two men carrying out the small building.
With a corpse in front of him, Oshima Ueno, who was frowning, started talking to himself. After a few breaths, Oshima Ueno suddenly reacted.
"Quick, send someone to the alley over there immediately to see if the surveillance target is still there!" A dozen special agents of the Special High School Division who followed Oshima Ueno into the concession quickly rushed into the alley, and after breaking in, they
It was discovered that the surveillance target who originally lived here had disappeared. "They must have left in a hurry. There are still a lot of water stains on the well platform and here in the yard, and there are also paper embers left in the furnace. Could it be that they are under our surveillance?"
Did they discover the operation?" Oshima Ueno, who arrived here later, looked thoughtful and looked back and forth in the yard for a while with his hands behind his back. He had no clue at all and had to lead people back to the small building.
Oshima Ueno's men who stayed in the small building had successively found warheads from two corpses. When they learned that the bullets that killed the two men were Mauser pistols, Oshima Ueno finally understood what he had been in a daze before.
What is it? In the murder case at the izakaya, the murderer used Mauser pistol bullets. In the murder case of the concession patrol officer a few days ago, the murderer also used Mauser pistol bullets. But now, the person who shot and killed two members of the Special High School Course was still
Mauser pistol bullets, Oshima Ueno thought quickly in his mind.
Could it be that the same group of people were responsible for this series of cases? Thinking of the mysterious disappearances of the surveillance targets in the alley, Oshima Ueno gradually connected this series of things together. "Oshima-kun, are you talking about these things?
, was it all the work of the underground party of the Chinese Communist Party?" Ogasawara, the head of the intelligence section of the Special High School Division, was a little unconvinced after learning the news. "Oshima-san, it seems that the bullets found at the scene alone cannot explain the problem. You know, this kind of Mauser
There are tens of thousands of pistols in China, and the landlords in Northern Jiangsu all have three or five of these Mauser pistols, which they call box guns, in their homes."
Ogasawara was the head of the Intelligence Section of the Shanghai Headquarters of the Super High School, and this surveillance point was deployed at his suggestion. Knowing the strength of the Shanghai Underground Party, he simply did not believe that the Shanghai Underground Party would have such a secret force in its hands.
"Oshima-kun, if the Shanghai underground party has such an armed force, why did they continue to lose in previous encirclement and suppression operations? Therefore, I do not agree with your inference just now. There may be a third force.
You might as well take part in it.”
Ogasawara didn't know that his casual remarks were basically close to the truth. At the moment, Oshima Ueno was angry that Ogasawara was against him, and he didn't think carefully about what Ogasawara just said. However, someone died in the special high school, and this matter must be resolved.
After strict investigation, the gangsters who were temporarily transferred to the surveillance point became the subjects of Ogasawara and Oshima Ueno's interrogation. It is more appropriate to describe these gangsters as asking three questions. In fact, they
They really didn't know anything. Even though there was only a wall between them, they were wandering in the street and didn't hear any gunshots coming from the small building.
"I still made the judgment just now. These people said they didn't hear any gunshots coming from the small building. This is consistent with some of the situations in the izakaya murder case." Oshima Ueno's persistence and stubbornness made Ogasawara a little unable to calm down.
Taiwan, but at this moment, Ogasawara also began to believe in Oshima Ueno's judgment. The gangsters who were temporarily borrowed by the surveillance point were already dying of torture by the special high school's torture methods, but their answers were unanimous.
of.
"If that's the case, then report it!" Ogasawara, who was undecided, thought about it again and again, and finally had to make an ambiguous decision. Ogasawara intended to report Oshima Ueno's inference, and he also had his own little plan in mind. Izakaya
The murder shocked the entire garrison’s top brass. As an intelligence department, the Special High School Shanghai Headquarters has continuously received orders from the garrison’s top brass and the local government to solve the case as soon as possible. If Oshima Ueno’s judgment is followed, some of the masterminds behind the Izakaya murder case are the Shanghai underground party.
If this judgment is recognized by superiors, it may be able to get the Shanghai headquarters of the Super Higher Education School out of its current troubled predicament.
Tang Cheng, who had already safely returned to his residence, did not know at this moment that he had set fire to the Shanghai underground party. In fact, even if Tang Cheng knew about the plans of the Shanghai Extra-High School, he would probably just laugh it off. Besides, Tang Cheng would probably just laugh it off.
On Hans' side, early the next morning, Hans asked people to buy newspapers issued by major newspapers, but found no information related to Henry. However, he did not gain anything. The concession had been accepting bribes from him.
News came out from the patrol room line that last night, an accident occurred at a surveillance point deployed by the Special High School Division in the concession, and two people died.
"This little guy is really restless!" When he first heard the news, Hans connected the news with Tangcheng for no reason. "Who else could it be if it wasn't him! I have long deduced that that guy has someone with Nanjing.
Now it seems that my guess is correct. The purpose of that kid coming to Shanghai is for the Japanese." Hans got up and rummaged through the old newspapers he had sorted before, and soon found the one that was more than a month old.
Before that, a newspaper published a story about a shootout in the streets of the concession.
"Let's see, this is the purpose of that kid coming to Shanghai." Hans threw the newspaper he found to his companion sitting across the table, and specially stretched out his finger to tap a report on the front page. "
Regarding this report, the newspaper said it might be a fight between two groups of cigarette dealers, but my insider said that the actual situation was that the Japanese ambushed a special envoy from Nanjing in the concession. The special envoy from Nanjing was seriously injured and was taken to Shanghai by the Intelligence Department.
He was sent to St. Ann's Hospital in the concession for treatment, but his whereabouts are now unknown."
"My people went to St. Ann's Hospital to check the information. This Nanjing special envoy should be the boy's uncle. Joseph also said that the boy is in Nanjing and has a close relationship with the intelligence service. Do you still remember that the boy has never been in Nanjing?
I bought an mp18*** here. In the case in Hongkou District, the murderer also used an mp18***. I believe this is definitely not a coincidence. But I still don’t know how that kid did it.
Yes, Hongkou District is a place tightly controlled by the Japanese army."
Hans's companion did not interrupt Hans's judgment. If he only relied on the newspaper reports and Hans's inferences just now, Tang Cheng, who was described by Hans as a highly skilled man, was definitely the murderer of the izakaya murder case. But this
There is another unexplainable aspect, and that is Tang Cheng’s age. According to the news sent back by Joseph from Nanjing, Tang Cheng has just turned eighteen this year.
Bowman, who just came to Shanghai from Germany, would never believe that a young man who was just eighteen years old would have the courage to sneak into the Hongkou District, which was tightly controlled by the Japanese army, and also have the ability to clear out more than 50 people in an izakaya.
Life. However, Hans’s inference also made Bowman somewhat interested in Tang Cheng. Knowing that Tang Cheng might come to Hans’ restaurant today, Bowman also waited in the restaurant early, looking forward to meeting Tang Cheng.
