In the next two days, a large number of Japanese military police and plainclothes agents not only blocked all passages in and out of Shanghai, but also raided almost the entire Shanghai. Fortunately, all members of the Shanghai underground party organization had legal status.
Because of their identity and legitimate occupation, there was no loss. After Zhou Xiantang and several others from the Military Command Shanghai Station escaped from trouble, they also broke into pieces and dispersed and left Shanghai. This large-scale search by the Japanese army did not pose a threat to them.
Only the Central Command station in Shanghai suffered real losses. They, who had always been at odds with the military command, ignored the warnings issued by the military command station in Shanghai. As a result, the military police and Japanese puppet agents successively destroyed many contact points in the concession, and a large number of people appeared.
Personal losses. Of course, the Japanese gained more than that. When they searched the concession in front of them, they also accidentally broke into the British and American intelligence strongholds in the concession and captured many British and American intelligence personnel lurking in the concession.
These things have nothing to do with Tang Cheng. He has been hiding in the attic of that small foreign-style building for the past two days. As long as he carefully avoids the servants responsible for cleaning in the small building, Tang Cheng can even leave in the remaining time.
Attic, wandering around in the small building for a while. Life in Tangcheng was happy, but life was difficult for the senior officials of the Military Police Headquarters. Although their large-scale raids captured many resistance elements, they even cracked down on the British and American
There were multiple intelligence bases lurking in the Shanghai Concession, but the mysterious attacker was not found.
The relatives of those noble officers have already set off from Japan by boat and will arrive in Shanghai one day. By then, they will be facing even greater pressure. What should they do next? A conference room that is not very large.
Sitting there were not only senior officials from the Military Police Headquarters, but also representatives from the Shanghai Special Higher Education School and the Mei Institute. Everyone had a gloomy expression. Everyone knew what was going to happen next, but they didn't expect that it would happen.
The solution to these troubles.
At night, the concession seemed much deserted than the previous two days. The wealthy people who were accustomed to nightlife no longer went out to have fun. Most of the people wandering the streets at the moment were plainclothes spies. Tang Cheng slid out of the attic window along the rope and quietly
He slid downstairs silently. In the past two days, he had only left the small building after nightfall to buy water elsewhere. Not far from the small building, Tangcheng had already entered an alley. As long as he passed through
In this alley, you can see a small restaurant.
But the situation tonight was a little different. Tang Cheng had just entered the alley when he vaguely heard someone talking in a low voice not far ahead. Tang Cheng, who had been cautious all the time,
He didn't appear panicked. He just slowed down, but didn't stop completely. He secretly activated the triple eyepiece skill, and just walked forward for more than ten meters along the alley, and slowly poked his head out from behind a pile of debris.
, and immediately saw two men in short shirts, talking quietly in the alleyway in front.
Tang Cheng looked at what the other two were wearing, and it seemed that they were not ordinary people, so he squatted quietly behind the debris and listened carefully to what the two people in front of him were saying. After listening quietly for a while, Tang Cheng felt a little dumbfounded.
Laughing at myself for being less courageous! The two men in short-shirted shirts talking in a low voice in front of me are not plainclothes spies, nor are they gang members in the concession. These two are just thieves who make a living by sneaking in and picking locks.
The majority of people in Shanghai are not rich people, but gangsters who rely on various means to make a living in Shanghai. So it is not strange to meet two bold thieves and gangsters here. Tangcheng wants to solve these two problems.
It is not difficult for a thief to go around, but he did not take action against these two people, but continued to squat behind the debris. After about a cigarette, the two thieves and goons who were talking in a low voice finally came towards them.
Leaving at the other end of the alley, Tang Cheng also stood up and followed quietly behind the two of them.
Based on what the two men were talking about in low voices just now, Tang Cheng knew that these two guys were going to rob a nearby business tonight. Although he didn’t know where these two thieves got so bold and dared to do so.
At this time, it was necessary to attack a trading company. But Tang Cheng had been hiding in the attic for the past two days and was already extremely bored. He happened to meet two thieves who looked interesting, so Tang Cheng planned to follow them quietly.
Behind him, he was like a yellow bird sitting back and reaping the benefits.
The two thieves who left the alley wandered around and walked south along the street for a while, then stopped in the shadows near the street entrance. The two stopped here as if to observe the situation in front, waiting for a cup of tea.
After a while, Tang Cheng, who was more than forty meters behind the two of them, saw a flashlight beam suddenly appear from the street entrance in front. Then, Tang Cheng saw the two thieves parked on the street.
The sneaky gangster quickly ran towards the intersection in front of him.
Ouch! There is help! Seeing the actions of these two thieves, Tangcheng immediately reacted.
Come here, the person who turned on the flashlight at the street corner in front is in the same group as these two thieves! Tang Cheng continued to move forward with the three people who were already together. After a short time, the three people in front of him
He finally stopped and stopped outside a three-story building. Seeing that the three people in front of him had stopped, Tang Cheng guessed that the three-story building on the street might be where the two thieves were.
Said trading company.
The trading company that was targeted by these three thieves seemed to have no hired guards. Tang Cheng watched helplessly as the three men used small tools to open the main door of the trading company. But what happened next was beyond Tang Cheng's expectation. The three
Not long after the little thief entered the trading house, Tang Cheng heard faint shouts coming from inside the trading house. Tang Cheng, who had already moved outside the main entrance of the trading house, hurriedly dodged to hide in the shadows on the street, and then saw a man full of people.
The guy with a bloody face rushed out from the door of the trading house.
Looking at the shoes on this guy's feet, Tang Cheng knew that he was one of the three thieves. Behind this thieves, a scarred man with a scar under his left eye chased him out of the business.
, also carrying a Japanese tanto with a curved blade in his hand. Three people entered the business, and now only one came out. Not only was his face covered in blood, but he was also chased by a guy carrying a tanto. In this situation, no matter what,
Anyone who sees it can understand what happened.
Tang Cheng, who was standing in the shadows on the street, did not pity the guy with blood on his face. He watched the two chasing each other and escaping in the opposite direction. Tang Cheng immediately entered the trading house. As soon as he entered the door of the trading house, Tang Cheng
Cheng immediately smelled a strong smell of blood. Sure enough, when Tang Cheng walked to the stairs, he saw two corpses lying under the stairs. Beside the corpses, there were also some small tools for prying doors and locks scattered, and a
Black cloth bag.
Tang Cheng ignored the gadgets and leaned over to pick up the black bag on the ground. Feeling that the bag had some weight, he immediately opened the bag. The contents inside the bag were very simple. Apart from some banknotes, there were only a few gold bars.
There were also two small boxes. Just as Tang Cheng was about to open these two boxes, he heard footsteps coming outside the door of the business. He immediately put the bags and boxes into his personal equipment bag, and then followed the stairs to the second floor of the business.
.
There are not many rooms on the second floor, but two of them have open doors. Tang Cheng looked at these two rooms carefully and found that one of them was an office, while the remaining one was an office.
It was like a lounge. The footsteps downstairs became clearer and clearer, and soon the footsteps came from the stairs. Tang Cheng had no choice but to hide in the office temporarily. By coincidence, the footsteps appeared on the second floor.
, and finally stopped outside the office door, Tang Cheng could only take out the pistol with a silencer from his equipment bag.
"Where are the things you stole from here?" Tang Cheng, who was hiding behind the door, clearly heard the voice outside the door. His voice seemed a little hoarse, and then there was a muffled hum, but it was short.
, as if his mouth was covered, and his voice was suppressed in his throat. Tang Cheng guessed that the person asking the question was probably the scar-faced man chasing people with a knife, and the one who groaned must be
The thief with bloodstained face.
Tang Cheng did not show his head, nor did he make any reaction. He just hid quietly behind the office door. In the following time, Tang Cheng, who clearly heard the conversation between the two, finally figured out why this scar-faced man wanted to ask questions.
The reason for the secret was that the three thieves sneaked upstairs and picked the lock. By coincidence, they entered this office. At first, everything went smoothly.
It was only when they opened the safe to get their belongings and were about to leave that they accidentally knocked over a small furnishing on the office table, which awakened the scar-faced man in the lounge next door. The three thieves fled, but
He was pursued desperately by the scarred-faced man carrying a short knife, and two of them were killed on the stairs. The remaining one took the opportunity to rush out of the business, but was unexpectedly caught by the scar-faced man.
What the scar-faced man was asking about now was the black cloth bag containing the property, but neither of them knew that after they left the trading house, Tang Cheng quietly entered and took away the black cloth bag. The tortured thief came to life with one bite.
The scarred-faced man had no choice but to drag the thief, who was already in the mud, back to the first floor to inspect the scene.
Seeing the two people leaving the second floor, Tang Cheng, who was behind the office door, was also about to leave. But just as he came out of the office, someone knocked hard on the door of the business. There were two black cars parked outside the business.
A middle-aged man and two men in suits got out of one of the cars. What got out of the other car were three Japanese military police officers carrying weapons. Tang Cheng watched carefully from the window of the corridor on the second floor.
, among the three Japanese military police officers, one of them still holds the rank of major.
