Chapter 24 A chance encounter in the concession (1)
Entering Tangcheng in the concession, he has entered the public concession according to his previous memory. He still vaguely remembered that Xu Huanshan was hiding in a shoe store in the public concession that day. He had no clue about Shanghai's underground organization.
Now, Tangcheng can only follow the traces left by Xu Huanshan and launch a search in the public concession. However, in this way, Tangcheng must not only avoid the large number of plainclothes spies and gang members in the concession, but also avoid being attacked by the underground party.
People found themselves. Tang Cheng had been wandering around the concession all morning. If he hadn't been worried that he would be spotted by the plainclothes agents in the concession, he might have wandered around the concession for the second time. Tang Cheng didn't know now, and the military commander
Like Shanghai Station, Shanghai's underground organizations have also entered a period of silence. In other words, if Tang Cheng, who is in the concession, does not use system skills, he may not be able to find any trace of Shanghai's underground party. Tang Cheng
After wandering around for a whole morning, I felt very helpless at this moment. The shoe store where Xu Huanshan stayed had already changed its sign and owner.
Seeing that it was time for lunch, Tang Cheng simply gathered in the public concession and found a restaurant to eat. As for finding Shanghai's underground organization, it was definitely more important than filling his stomach. The teahouse established in Chongqing was an information distribution center.
In Shanghai, this kind of small street restaurant has the same function. Just after Tang Cheng ordered the food, he heard the guests at the next table talking in low voices about what happened in Hongkou District. Tang Cheng listened silently for a while, feeling in his heart
He couldn't laugh or cry, but he didn't know that what happened in Hongkou District had been turned into a fairy tale.
Moreover, what puzzled Tang Cheng was that several of his actions in the concession were all in the name of Jinyiwei, but why did the people in the concession avoid talking about it? Tang Cheng then ate,
While continuing to listen to the discussion of the diners in the restaurant, until two men in short shirts came in from outside, the diners who were chatting enthusiastically fell silent instantly. These two men in short shirts looked like gangs active in the concession.
Molecule, looking at the reactions of the diners, Tang Cheng also frowned slightly.
These two gang members who didn't know that Big Fish was around them, after entering and sitting down, they shouted for a table of food. Worried about getting into trouble, the diners got up to pay and left. The table in Tangcheng
, in the corner of this small restaurant, and the two gang members were sitting in the center of the restaurant. While they were waiting for Niuyan to look around, they saw Tang Cheng sitting in the corner with a tender face and just lowering his head to eat.
, so I didn’t pay too much attention to Tangcheng.
Tang Cheng was only halfway through his meal, and the other diners in the small restaurant had already left. However, there were still three guests, two men and one woman, sitting near the restaurant counter. When Tang Cheng came in from outside,
He first noticed the two men and one woman, especially the older middle-aged man, who looked like a practicing master at first glance. Tang Cheng, who was just guessing at the moment, concentrated on the food on the table after his own food was served.
, it seems that Tang Cheng is just an ordinary person who comes here to eat.
Tang Cheng did not seem to pay direct attention to the other two tables of guests. In fact, while he was eating, he had been listening carefully to the low-pitched conversations of the guests at those two tables. The two men and one woman who were noticed by Tang Cheng as soon as he entered the door should be
Looking at the luggage they put under the table, Tang Cheng judged that the three people who came to Shanghai to visit their relatives had not found any relatives. As for the two gang members, from their intermittent conversations, Tang Cheng already knew the identities of these two gangsters.
, but Tangcheng is too lazy to deal with such little minions at the moment.
Because the target of his attention has not left, Tang Cheng did not eat very fast, but he never expected that after the two gang members had eaten for a while, the two drunken people suddenly turned their attention to
Focusing on the young woman. Seeing that things were starting to get out of control, the shopkeeper of the small restaurant hurriedly came out from behind the counter. While smiling at the two gang members, he hinted to the two men and one woman to check out and leave.
At this moment, Tang Cheng, who was sitting in the corner, also put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands. He pretended to wipe his mouth and watched the development of the situation quietly. Most of the shops selling wheat in the concession secretly cooperated with the gangs in the concession.
It has something to do with it. Obviously, the same is true for this small restaurant. I don’t know what the shopkeeper of the small restaurant said in the ear of one of the men in short-shirted shirts. The man in short-shirted shirts who wanted to draw a gun actually pulled his companion and blackmailed him.
He left the small restaurant with a shaky face.
"I say three of you, you should leave quickly! Those two just now are not good people, and I heard that they are working for the Japanese! Listen to my advice, you'd better leave as soon as possible. We are a small family like us.
As a small family, you can't afford to offend these indifferent guys." The shopkeeper of the small restaurant did not ask the two men and one woman for food before the meal, but just kept urging them.
Leave quickly, otherwise everything will be in trouble. The middle-aged man was still alert, and the restaurant manager's words made him frown, but he was not slow at all in packing up his things.
Seeing this scene, Tang Cheng did not get up to pay. He just quietly used the system skills to lock the middle-aged man first. After the other three left the restaurant with their luggage, Tang Cheng did not follow them out immediately. He also
I lit a cigarette, then stood up to pay and leave. When Tang Cheng walked out of the small restaurant, he happened to see a few men in short shirts coming towards this side aggressively, led by the two gang members. Tang Cheng
Seeing this, Cheng was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he stood on the side of the street and silently paid attention to the small restaurant not far from him.
What could the restaurant owner do if someone came to his door? Naturally, he reported his backer and took out the money to settle the matter. Seeing that the restaurant was fine and had been standing in front of the shop on the street, Tang Cheng walked eastward as if nothing had happened.
Left. After walking through two consecutive street intersections, Tang Cheng finally saw the backs of the two men and one woman. The two men and one woman who were tracked by Tang Cheng were standing outside a hotel door, looking at their appearance.
, it seems that I want to stay in a hotel, but I don’t have enough money.
Tang Cheng, who discovered the other three, did not go over immediately, but turned around and looked in the direction he came from. Fortunately, the men in short shirts who had left the restaurant had already walked to the left from the previous intersection. The two men standing outside the hotel
A woman, perhaps because she was short of money, actually walked further and further away from Tangcheng's sight. After a while, she carried their luggage and walked through the street in front. If the two men and one woman were going straight
It was okay, but they turned left at the intersection in front of them. Tang Cheng was a little worried that they would encounter the gang members who chased them into the small restaurant.
Therefore, Tang Cheng carried the snacks he bought on the street and followed the two men and one woman from a distance. Tang Cheng followed the three of them through two consecutive street intersections without noticing the three in front of them.
People have done counter-reconnaissance actions. It can be seen that the vigilance of these two men and one woman is not very high. Only after Tang Cheng, who was following far behind, made such a judgment, he discovered that the three men walking in front
The person suddenly turned around and walked back. And the speed of walking was not too slow.
Seeing this, Tang Cheng could only carry his own snacks and walked into the shop on the street. Before Tang Cheng could chat with the shop owner, Tang Cheng, who was standing in front of the window, looked through the shop front.
Looking at the shop window on the street, I saw the two men and one woman walking past at a slightly faster pace. In the shop, Tang Cheng did not refuse the shop owner's promotion. He simply took out the money and took the cowhide wallet from the shop owner.
"If you use it well, I will come to your place next time!" Tang Cheng, who was sent to the door by the shop owner, said goodbye to the shop owner in a normal voice while paying attention to the other end of the street with the corner of his eye.
Sure enough, the reason why the two men and one woman turned back earlier was not because of their sudden whim, but because of the appearance of those men in short shirts at the other end of the street, led by the scar who was looking for trouble in the small restaurant.
Face. Tang Cheng’s target was just the two men and one woman, so after chatting with the shop owner, he followed the direction in which the two men and one woman left. I don’t know if it was because of those short-shirted men who appeared from the street.
The man found no trace of the two men and one woman, so they turned left again at the next intersection.
When Tang Cheng saw the two men and one woman again, he found that the three of them were standing outside the door of the previous hotel. There were many hotels in the concession. Tang Cheng didn't know why these three people had to stay in them.
Go to this hotel. Seeing that the other three people entered the hotel and did not come out again, Tang Cheng knew that the other three people had already checked in, so he gave the snacks he was carrying to a street child, and then
Crossed the street and walked into this hotel.
Walking into the Tangcheng hotel, he opened the way with banknotes and immediately asked the room numbers and names of the three people from the hotel counter. "Xu Qingning, Xu Qingyang, Xu Ninggui, this is a family!" I read the names on the registration book.
At the names of the three people, Tang Cheng tilted his lips and a smile appeared on his face. Xu Qingning and Xu Qingyang looked like they were siblings. That Xu Ninggui, that is, the middle-aged man, should be the elder of the young man and woman.
Or father.
Tang Cheng, who confirmed the names and room numbers of the other three people, did not check into this hotel with them. He has now roughly guessed that the two men and one woman came to Shanghai, most likely to visit relatives or find someone, but judging from their current
It seems that he has not found anyone. Tang Cheng, who has not tried the opponent's skills yet, just regards today's chance encounter as a small game. If the three opponents can be used for themselves, Tang Cheng will definitely arrange a future for them.
, but if the other party does not accept his kindness, Tangcheng can treat it as if it never happened.
