In order to prove that what he said was true, Uncle Zhang, who ran a bookstore but was good at music, chess, calligraphy and painting, even drew a picture of the Feiyu suit that Tang Cheng wore at that time in the bookstore before Xie Rulin arrived, based on his own memory. "This is
Before you came, I drew it according to my memory. Although the drawing is not complete, there is generally no problem. If you hadn't come, I would have taken this drawing and went to find some old friends to confirm it again."
Uncle Zhang's words, and the still-dry painting in front of him, made Xie Rulin's original suspicion not dissipate, but intensified. "Uncle Zhang, even if you all heard that shout at that time, you all looked at it.
There are people wearing the same clothes as those on the stage. But the Jinyiwei were hundreds of years ago, not to mention they were sworn enemies of the Qing government, how could they continue to this day?" Xie Rulin's words sounded fine, but Uncle Zhang
Also stick to what you hear and see.
During the time when Xie Rulin was chatting with Zhang Boji in the bookstore, the news that Jin Yiwei had appeared in the concession had spread quickly. Like Xie Rulin, the Shanghai underground party also received the news, and they were also confused.
However, the senior leaders of Shanghai’s underground party organization did not have the extra energy to pay attention to this matter at the moment, because when the cinema was attacked, one of their traffic officers was outside the cinema where the incident occurred. According to the traffic officer’s subsequent recollections, if he had not been
There were gunshots in the cinema, and he may have entered the cinema and been arrested.
"We must find this person!" After learning that someone shot and killed multiple Japanese spies and Japanese military police in a movie theater, the top leaders of the Shanghai underground party organization, without knowing whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, just ordered a rights collection and attack on the movie theater.
Relevant clues and intelligence. At this time, Tang Cheng had already returned to the small courtyard he rented in Hongkou District. No one would have thought that this young man who always had a chuckle on his face had just been in the concession.
A big thing was done.
Jinyiwei, this name is unfamiliar to most Chinese people. Because of the bad taste of Tangcheng, it quickly spread in Shanghai. Several plainclothes agents of No. 76 even claimed that they had witnessed the shooting of a large number of Japanese military police.
The iron carved feather arrows looked like they were not stage props, but sharp weapons for killing people. That night, in the Shanghai Concession where people were still singing and dancing, the streets and alleys were full of Japanese spies in plain clothes.
and gang members, they have only one mission tonight, which is to find the attacker dressed as a Jinyiwei.
Tang Cheng, who was hiding in Hongkou District, was in an izakaya near his residence at this time.
, drinking and chatting with two newly acquainted Japanese expats. Isamu Kimura’s residence is on the street in front of this izakaya. You can even see Kimura from the window when you stand in the room on the left side of the second floor of the izakaya.
The rear window of Isamu's residence. According to the intelligence provided by the military commander, Isamu Kimura does not have a habit of drinking, but he is determined to climb up the ladder, and necessary outings are indispensable.
When Tang Cheng caused trouble in the concession before, it was not that he had to take action when the situation came to an end. The main purpose of what he did was to mess up the concession and force the Japanese and puppet agents with low ability to dare to do anything again in the short term.
Go to the concession. Kimura Isamu is not a person with outstanding abilities. He has been able to survive in Shanghai Special High School until now, not because of his ability, but because of his bottomless flattery to his superiors. The order originally given to Tangcheng by the bureau chief
, it was to kill Kimura Isamu and then return to Chongqing immediately, but now, Tangcheng has modified its original plan.
Because the Japanese army is pressing forward step by step and the foreign forces in the concession are retreating step by step, the current situation in Shanghai is very serious. Tang Cheng does not expect that his arrival will be able to reverse the current situation in Shanghai. What he wants to do is just
Make good use of this opportunity and leave an unforgettable memory for the Japanese troops in Shanghai. "Oda-kun, have you heard? Today in the concession, someone attacked the military police and plainclothes field officers of the Special High School Course. It is said that many people died!"
The three people in Tang Cheng chatted about their own affairs without saying a word. Behind them, several Japanese military policemen were also chatting lively. Hearing these military policemen talking about the movie theater, Tang Cheng did not look back.
Instead, he continued to chat in a low voice with the two Japanese expatriates he had just met. Just looking at the reactions of the two Japanese expatriates, they seemed to have heard the chat content of these military policemen. The battle ahead was stalemate, and the Japanese troops began to mass
To recruit new soldiers, even the military police stationed in Shanghai began to add new soldiers.
The Japanese military police sitting behind them in Tangcheng at this moment were all new recruits who had just come from Japan this year, so they were brazenly chatting about the movie theater during the day in the izakaya. In fact, at this moment, there was no
Only the three people from Tangcheng were eavesdropping on the chat of these military policemen. Even the proprietress of the izakaya sat over at some point and pretended to help pour the wine.
The landlady was also eavesdropping on the chatter of these gendarmes.
Many people are like this. They are originally honest people, but as soon as they drink, the honest people immediately become dishonest. This is the case for these new recruits from Japan. When they first entered the izakaya,
Everyone looked polite and didn't speak too loudly. But now, after a few glasses of wine, the few people who had seemed honest at first began to talk nonchalantly about being raped by the Special High School and the Military Police.
The headquarters has kept a tight seal on the matter.
Tang Cheng listened calmly for a while and found that the military policemen behind him were just repeating those words over and over again. He knew that these guys might have heard the news from other people. "That's almost it.
I'm going back first!" Suddenly a bad feeling came to Tang Cheng in his heart, he put down the wine glass in his hand, and then stood up to leave. "Mrs. Juzi, it's not a good thing to know too much about some things!" Before leaving,
Tang Cheng did not forget to remind the proprietress of the izakaya.
Perhaps God was also cooperating with Tang Cheng. Just when the proprietress looked up at Tang Cheng with a puzzled look, two military police officers came in from outside the door. The new military police officers spoke loudly, so these two came in.
A Japanese officer immediately heard what they were discussing loudly, and his face changed drastically. When Tang Cheng stood up, he had been paying attention to the situation in the izakaya out of the corner of his eye. Naturally, the two Japanese officers who had just entered
It is the target that Tangcheng focuses on.
Seeing that the expressions of the two Japanese officers changed drastically and they were heading this way blankly, Tang Cheng immediately nodded slightly to the proprietress, then took two steps to his left, first turning on the loud-sounding ones behind him.
The new military police officer who spoke was revealed. Looking at the reactions of the two Japanese officers, Tang Cheng was worried that there would be trouble soon, so he tried to use the new military police officers behind him to attract the attention of the two Japanese officers.
, so as to buy yourself the time and opportunity to get out of here.
But what Tang Cheng didn't expect was that just when he was about to leave in a low-key manner, the proprietress of the izakaya did not immediately go to greet the two Japanese officers. Instead, she reached out and grabbed the hem of Tang Cheng's kimono. Tang Cheng
I was stunned subconsciously, and immediately heard one of the Japanese officers shouting loudly, "Everyone, please sit where you are and don't move, otherwise you will be taken away by the military police." The Japanese officer who spoke wore the rank of lieutenant, and his words made people laugh.
Right now in the izakaya
calm down.
Tang Cheng, who could only sit down at the moment, didn't know whether he should thank the proprietress of the izakaya or glare at her. The other Japanese officer was a second lieutenant, but among the two, he had the most anger on his face.
Even worse. "Asshole, what were you just talking about? Didn't your superiors tell you that private discussion of this matter is not allowed?" The grumpy Japanese second lieutenant rounded his right hand and slapped the recruits one by one.
slap.
The new recruits who were slapped all lowered their heads in fear. Only then did they remember that their superiors had indeed said that they were not allowed to discuss the cinema. The actions of the Japanese second lieutenant made the izakaya proprietress and others secretly panic.
, Tang Cheng, who was sitting next to the proprietress, also pretended to be scared, lowering his eyes and not daring to look around. Fortunately, the lieutenant officer was still reasonable. After looking around at the other people in the izakaya, his eyes fell on the proprietress.
On the body.
"Mrs. Juzi, I guess you didn't see or hear anything just now, right?" The lieutenant officer's voice was a bit cold. The landlady nodded hurriedly, saying yes again and again, and the others also nodded.
Like garlic. Maybe it was because Tang Cheng was sitting next to the proprietress and he looked young, so the lieutenant officer just glanced at Tang Cheng and stopped paying attention to him. Tang Cheng, who was always cautious, subconsciously thought to himself
He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left the izakaya with the others.
When he returned to his residence later, he did not go to bed immediately, but began to check weapons and ammunition. Early the next morning, Tang Cheng followed the flow of people out of Hongkou District and entered the concession. Today, he would first rent a room in the concession as a temporary accommodation.
The final destination. Tang Cheng left a mark in the concession yesterday. He was originally planning to contact the Military Command Shanghai Station, but the incident in the cinema caused Tang Cheng to change his original plan again.
He is not planning to contact the Military Reunion Shanghai Station immediately. Now that the drama has begun, when will it end? It still depends on whether the special high school has been set. Compared with yesterday, there seemed to be more plainclothes agents in the concession. All the way to Tangcheng
Come, I have been secretly observed by several waves of suspicious-looking guys. Tang Cheng remained calm and just rented a room in an apartment building as planned. Tang Cheng chose to rent a house here not because the landlord was a Belarusian.
But because this apartment building happens to be at the intersection of a three-way street, it is very suitable for evacuating from Chinatown at any time.
