Coming to Shanghai again after more than a year, Tang Cheng feels that Shanghai, known as the Pearl of the Orient, seems to be much more dilapidated than before. Although there is still a scene of singing and dancing in the concession, there are many more beggars on the streets.
Young, Tang Cheng had just entered the concession within half an hour, and already saw several street fights. When Tang Cheng returned to Shanghai, he did not rush to work immediately, but went to the French Concession with a leisurely look.
Today's Shanghai Concession is no longer the former one controlled by foreign forces. The Japanese now have full control over Shanghai, including the Shanghai Concession. The foreigners who used to be aloof now all know that the most unprovoked things in Shanghai are
They were Japanese. Tang Cheng, who entered the French Concession, used common sense to activate his Insight Skill. A large red warning sign instantly lit up in front of his eyes. This result frightened Tang Cheng and he immediately turned off his skills.
The streets and alleys of the concession are full of Japanese spies in plain clothes, or concession gang members secretly helping the Japanese intelligence agencies. Tangcheng can only be more and more careful. Fortunately, Tangcheng has a tender face, and there are generally few people there.
I feel that such a young man will be a resistance element. Moreover, Tangcheng stayed in a hotel run by Portuguese people in the French Concession. In the current Shanghai Concession, there may be only Portuguese people who are not tormented by the Japanese.
The Portuguese hotel that Tang Cheng stayed in was not very big, but the room was very clean, and there were no Japanese spies at the door. On the first day Tang Cheng arrived in Shanghai, he just found a hotel to stay in, and then wandered around the concession.
Circle. When Tang Cheng left Chongqing, Hans gave him several addresses and some names. If Tang Cheng encountered trouble in Shanghai, he could go to these places to seek help from the people on the list under the banner of Hans.
Tang Cheng is tough and has never thought of asking for help in the name of others, so he only confirmed the places Hans mentioned in the concession, but did not come to ask for help. After a good night's sleep, Tang Cheng
I got up early the next day, and when the city woke up, Tangcheng had already appeared in Hongkou District. Relying on the identity certificate of the Japanese expatriate, Tangcheng successfully sneaked into Hongkou District again, maybe
It seems that the Japanese Empire has fully controlled Shanghai, so the security in Hongkou District is obviously not as strict as before.
Tang Cheng walked around Hongkou District in a low-key manner and found that the few izakayas he was familiar with had been closed, and the Korean National Salvation Army seemed to have completely disappeared from Hongkou District. There was no trace of the Korean National Salvation Army. Tang Cheng originally
The plan to take advantage of the east wind must be modified. According to the information provided by the Military Command Headquarters
With the information, Tang Cheng even followed Isamu Kimura's route to work and found the breakfast shop he often went to. After confirming that all the shops in this shop were Japanese, the last bit of guilt in Tang Cheng's heart disappeared in an instant.
Today is the second day after Tang Cheng arrived in Shanghai. According to Tang Cheng's original plan, as long as he found Isamu Kimura's location, he would take action directly. Unfortunately, it was only after he found Isamu Kimura's residence in Hongkou District that he discovered that this guy had been
Suddenly sent to Peiping, it seems that he will not return to Shanghai in the short term. Tangcheng is now faced with two choices. One is to rush to Peiping immediately and find an opportunity to kill Kimura Isamu. The second option is to continue to stay.
In Shanghai, waiting for Kimura Isamu to return to Shanghai from Peiping.
Perhaps he felt that staying in Chongqing was too comfortable, and Tangcheng was full of adventure in his heart, so he chose to wait in Shanghai for Isamu Kimura's return. That afternoon, Tangcheng moved into Hongkou with his suitcase.
District, he rented a small yard here. When the police came to inquire, Tang Cheng's answer was that he had just returned from outside the customs and planned to wait for his companions here before returning to Japan together.
The false identity Tang Cheng borrowed was that he was a descendant of a declining samurai family in Japan. On the surface, he was a member of the overseas overseas development group, but in fact he was a covert intelligence officer secretly working for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Because of the dispute between the royalists and the young faction,
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the military have always been in opposition, so neither the Hongkou District Military Police Headquarters nor the local police will take the initiative to inquire and investigate Tang Cheng's identity in Japan. Tang Cheng settled down in Hongkou District without any danger.
The location of his residence is only one street away from Isamu Kimura's residence.
In order to make the fake identity he borrowed appear more reasonable, Tang Cheng even forged a so-called travel record outside the customs. Many records about minerals in it were deliberately added by Tang Cheng based on old files from the military command headquarters.
Tang Cheng believed that the Japanese in Hongkou District would not find any flaws in this half-true and half-false travel diary. He would sleep until three o'clock in the morning every day, take a one-hour nap after lunch, and go to a tavern or a nearby restaurant after dark.
Spending time in the izakaya, I had a pretty comfortable time in Tangcheng.
Living in Tangcheng, Shanghai, was comfortable, but Zhang Jianghe and the bureau were far away in Chongqing, but they were always worried
They were worried about Tang Cheng. According to the plan they informed Tang Cheng, when Tang Cheng arrived in Shanghai, he should contact the Juntong Shanghai Station as soon as possible. But more than a week had passed since Tang Cheng arrived in Shanghai, and the Juntong Shanghai Station had
Tang Cheng has not contacted them for a long time. If the bureau chief and Zhang Jianghe were not confident about Tang Cheng, the Military Command Shanghai Station would have thought that Tang Cheng had been secretly captured by the Special High School.
Tang Cheng's main purpose of coming to Shanghai this time is to assassinate Kimura Isamu, but Tang Cheng does not need the help of Juntong Shanghai Station, especially because he is worried that there are problems within the Juntong Shanghai Station. Therefore, Tang Cheng will never take the initiative to contact Juntong Shanghai Station
Station, especially since he has now safely entered Hongkou District and lives not far from Isamu Kimura's residence. Half a month passed quickly, and Isamu Kimura, whom Tangcheng had been waiting so hard for, finally returned to Shanghai, but at this moment Tangcheng
, suddenly changed the original action plan.
After finally coming to Shanghai, how could Tang Cheng be willing to only assassinate Isamu Kimura and then return to Chongqing immediately. In the past few days, Tang Cheng was walking around Hongkou District with a camera, ostensibly taking photos everywhere, but in fact he was
Observe the defense situation in Hongkou District. The Army Hospital, Military Police Headquarters and Officers Club, which were once attacked by Tangcheng, are the locations that Tangcheng focuses on, because he only received news two days ago that half a month later, the Japanese army in Shanghai
Hongkou District will organize a welcome reception.
The source of the news that Tang Cheng learned was from an izakaya near his residence. He heard it by chance. Although Tang Cheng still doesn’t know the exact time and content of the welcome reception, this does not prevent Tang Cheng from paying attention to it.
Turning to the welcome reception. The people who discussed this matter in the izakaya that night were two Japanese military officers from the Military Police Headquarters, so Tangcheng paid attention to this matter. What he focused on observing in the past two days was the Officers Club, because the entire Hongkou District
, apart from New Asia Hotel, this is the most suitable place for holding a cocktail party.
The New Asia Hotel and Tangcheng are also familiar with each other, and in the past two days, Tangcheng has not found any signs of a cocktail party at the New Asia Hotel. However, Tangcheng has not given up observing the New Asia Hotel and has been waiting for him at the Officers Club.
Outside, a vehicle carrying dishes and utensils was found coming in and out, so Tang Cheng stopped investigating the Xinya Hotel. After confirming that the news he heard in the izakaya was true, Tang Cheng left Hongkou District and entered the French Concession.
A secret code for a joint was left under the wall of a street corner.
Tangcheng is used to being alone, but the military commander
The Shanghai Station has been worried during this period. They are worried that Tangcheng has been arrested by the Special High School. As the Japanese army's control over Shanghai increases and foreign forces retreat step by step, the Shanghai Station of military control is also cautious.
Nowadays, the Shanghai Concession is also full of crises. Finally, Xu Sixiang, who is responsible for checking the sign left by Tangcheng, is secretly cautious even though he is excited.
But he didn't know it at the moment. Just when he was checking the mark under the wall, Tang Cheng, who was standing not far away, had already set his sights on him. Tang Cheng, who was in enemy-occupied territory, had to be careful.
When he got up, even though he had used system skills to scan Xu Sixiang's identity, he still did not take the initiative to expose himself. Seeing Xu Sixiang walking all the way east, he had already used system skills to lock the opponent's Tangcheng, so he followed Xu Sixiang from a distance.
behind.
Tangcheng, who is more than 60 meters away from Xu Sixiang, does not have to worry about the other party discovering him. If there are experts in the military command Shanghai station who are better than him, he will not be forced by the special high school to live in the concession. Facts have proved that Xu Sixiang
He didn't realize that he was being followed. Although Xu Sixiang had used some investigative methods along the way, he never expected that Tang Cheng, who was following him, was still dozens of meters away.
The reason for following Xu Sixiang was not that Tang Cheng wanted to measure the capabilities of Juntong Shanghai Station, but because he did not want more people to know about his situation, even if the other party was from Juntong Shanghai Station. Tang Cheng followed Xu Sixiang all the way east, and soon he
Seeing Xu Sixiang turn into an alley, Tang Cheng did not follow him into the alley, but just walked through the alley entrance like other passers-by.
When walking past the entrance of the alley, Tang Cheng glanced out of the corner of his eye and found a man in a short shirt standing at the entrance of the alley. The man was wearing a short shirt and looked like a gang member, but Tang Cheng discovered that this short-sleeved man was a gang member.
When the man in a short shirt looked at people, his eyes were so bright that it was scary. Tangcheng suddenly knew for sure that there was definitely a stronghold of Shanghai Juntong Station in this alley, and this man in a short shirt was the observation post at the entrance of the alley.
Tang Cheng secretly noted this place, and then walked around again. Before the pickpockets on the street noticed him, he turned around and entered the small restaurant in front. Shanghai has a large overseas population, so whether it is a concession or a Chinese community, this kind of
There are many small restaurants with different tastes. Tang Cheng randomly ordered two dishes and had a delicious meal. By the time he left the small restaurant, it was already an hour later.
