"Section Chief, we really don't do anything, and we're just counting on such a young boy?" Tang Cheng, who was carrying the cello case, just left the Sifang Tea House. Boss Xie, who was silent in the private room, immediately rushed to Bai Zhanshan.
He said, "Section Chief, you always say how powerful this guy is, but when I looked at him just now, there didn't seem to be anything special about that guy. The assassination of Kenichi Yamamoto was a task assigned by the section chief. If that guy messed it up,
I’m afraid it will be difficult if we want to take action again.”
When Bai Zhanshan, who was holding a teacup in his hand, heard this, he just paused for a moment to drink tea, then put down the teacup in his hand and turned to look at Mr.
Use this energy to deal with your own people. You two brothers have only been transferred to the Intelligence Department for a month. You have no idea how capable that kid is." Bai Zhanshan valued Tangcheng who had left the teahouse so much. In the hearts of the Xie brothers
They couldn't understand it very much, but they didn't know that in Bai Zhanshan's heart, the Xie brothers were probably no match for Tangcheng even if they were tied together.
Tang Cheng, who had already left the teahouse, didn't know that the Xie brothers were thinking about him. He was standing on the street with his piano case and preparing to take a rickshaw, but strangely, no rickshaw appeared outside the Sifang Teahouse. Tangcheng
Helpless, he had no choice but to carry the piano case and walk towards the intersection. However, before Tang Cheng had gone far, he was stopped by someone. "Boy, what is in the box? Open it and take a look." The person who stopped Tang Cheng was
There were three patrols in the concession. The leader had a scar on his face and looked very ferocious.
The piano case in Tang Cheng's hand was brought to the teahouse by Bai Zhanshan. The Mauser sniper rifle was hidden in this piano case and brought into the concession. Tang Cheng seemed not to have thought that he would be stopped in the street after leaving the teahouse.
"This is the case of the cello. I'm about to send it to a friend's house. Is there any problem?" As he spoke, Tang Cheng stretched out his right foot and put the case upright on his instep. The person who saw it
One might also think that Tang Cheng did this because he was worried about dirtying the piano case.
Tang Cheng looked at the other three people expressionlessly. Although the concession patrol officers had the right to check passers-by on the street, they were clearly not ordinary people in their dress. The three concession patrol officers stopped him so arrogantly. If they hadn't lost their minds,
That was the instruction from someone behind. "Open it, I want to see what's in the box." The leading patrolman reached out to grab the piano case, but Tang Cheng separated it with his left hand. Seeing this, the other two patrolmen left Tang Cheng's hands.
People gathered around him from the left and right.
"Don't bother a few people, I can just do it myself. This thing is very expensive, and I'm afraid that my friend will complain that I broke it." Tang Cheng did not insist on continuing, and then opened the piano case, and the three patrolmen
A hint of surprise immediately appeared on his face. The piano box that Tang Cheng opened was completely empty. "Guys, do you have anything else to do? If not, I'm leaving." The piano box was empty.
, even if the three concession patrols are unwilling to do so, there is no reason to continue to embarrass Tangcheng.
Carrying an empty piano case, Tang Cheng slowly walked around the three concessions for patrolling. No one noticed that a sneer appeared on Tang Cheng's face at some point. Before he even reached the corner of the street, Tang Cheng already had it in his heart.
The suspects, if this is not Bai Zhanshan's self-love test, can only be the two people Bai Zhanshan brought. When he was in the teahouse just now, Tang Cheng had noticed that when the two people looked at him, there was a faint look in their eyes.
With some suspicion and disdain.
Standing on the street corner, Tang Cheng secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, he had a carry-on equipment bag in his hand. Otherwise, if he had been forced to open the piano case by the three concession patrolmen just now, the rifle originally contained in the piano case would have become evidence that he was being pursued by the patrolmen.
The moment he got on the rickshaw, Tang Cheng made a decision in his mind. Originally, he planned to return the sniper rifle to Bai Zhanshan after killing Kenichi Yamamoto. But now it seems that he can keep this sniper rifle as his own.
After getting on the rickshaw, Tang Cheng did not return to his residence immediately, but went straight to the tailor shop where he had made a suit for himself.
The tailor shop introduced by Hans was actually a hideout of Hans in the French Concession, and it was also doing black market business privately. Naturally, Tang Cheng didn’t come here to continue custom-making clothes. Tang Cheng came here to get goods.
Hans not only secretly inquired for various information for the German intelligence agency, but he was also a black marketeer and a small arms dealer in private. Tangcheng obtained a military canvas and two military kettles through Hans.
Because he is worried that Bai Zhanshan will arrange for people to keep an eye on him, Tang Cheng will not go to Hans for a while. These things can only be transferred to Tang Cheng through this tailor shop.
"What are you doing with this thing?" Zhang Jianghe, who was playing chess with Zhou Hongzhuang when he saw that Tang Cheng had brought back a piece of canvas, felt a little strange and asked aloud. Since then, he knew from Tang Cheng that Bai Zhanshan had come to Shanghai.
, and asked Tang Cheng to participate in the assassination of the personnel of the Special High School, Zhang Jianghe paid great attention to Tang Cheng's daily whereabouts. At this moment, when he saw that Tang Cheng went out early in the morning and only brought back a piece of canvas, Zhang Jianghe felt...
I felt nervous for no reason.
With Zhou Hongzhuang present, Tang Cheng didn't explain too much. He just said that he wanted to make some gadgets, so he went upstairs to the study with the roll of canvas. Zhou Hongzhuang was also full of curiosity about the scene with Tang Cheng yesterday.
In the confrontation, Zhou Hongzhuang knew that she was at the disadvantage, but after thinking about it carefully, she seemed to have not suffered a loss. Zhou Hongzhuang, who was completely puzzled, played chess with Zhang Jianghe all morning, and also listened to Zhang Jianghe's chatter all morning.
This also gave her a deeper understanding of Tangcheng.
Knowing that Tang Cheng is actually a cold-faced and warm-hearted person, Zhou Hongzhuang's original anger towards Tang Cheng dissipated a lot. Now she saw that Tang Cheng went to the study as soon as he came back. As a person who likes to get to the bottom of everything,
As a woman, Zhou Hongzhuang changed the topic to Tang Cheng. "Uncle Zhang, you said he got a piece of fabric back, is it for making clothes?" Zhou Hongzhuang didn't know that Tang Cheng carried it under his arm when he entered the door.
The rolled fabric is military canvas, and it looks white. Tangcheng asked the tailor shop to use chemical raw materials to remove the color.
Zhou Hongzhuang asked this question without any clue. Zhang Jiang and Wen Yan looked up at each other and thought to themselves: How could this girl be so stupid? Who uses white cloth to make clothes? Zhang Jiang and He thought so in his heart, but he couldn't say it in his mouth.
Answering, after a slight pause, Zhang Jianghe suppressed a smile. "I guess Xiaowu is going to use that piece of cloth to make curtains. The curtains in the study have been used for a long time, so they should be replaced.
Take a wash!”
Compared with Zhou Hongzhuang's clueless question, Zhang Jianghe's answer was actually even more unreliable, but Zhou Hongzhuang didn't hear it. Zhou Hongzhuang and Zhang Jianghe were playing chess downstairs, saying nothing at all.
While chatting, Tang Cheng was busy in the study room upstairs. The Mauser sniper rifle Bai Zhanshan got from the army had been taken out of the equipment bag by Tang Cheng. This Mauser sniper rifle looked almost like
It was brand new, but had not been proofread by Tang Cheng himself. He did not know much about the performance of this sniper rifle.
Bai Zhanshan only gave Tang Cheng 20 Mauser rifle bullets. It was said that these bullets were enough for Tang Cheng to complete the assassination of Yamamoto Kenichi. But Tang Cheng did not think so, so after he locked himself in the study, he immediately gave Hans
He called Hans and asked Hans to get him 30 rounds of Mauser rifle bullets and 50 rounds of rifle bullets, which was 10 bullet bridges. According to Tangcheng's calculations, these bullets, plus the sniper rifle and some water, were all he had with him.
You can also carry a loaded pistol in the equipment bag.
The carry-on equipment bag can be said to be Tang Cheng's biggest reliance in completing this assassination mission. Tang Cheng not only needs to carry a sniper rifle and a handgun for close combat, but also bullets and water. The carry-on equipment bag can only hold 7 and a half kilograms of items.
At this moment, Cheng needs to carefully calculate the quantity and weight of the items he is carrying. A small oversight may very well lead to omissions in this operation. The piece of military canvas he took back from the tailor shop has faded to completely white. It just passed through Tangcheng.
After a lot of fiddling with it, this white military canvas quickly turned into a shabby-looking color.
"I have to go out in the evening. If it's too late, I might stay at a friend's house temporarily. There may be some unrest in the concession these days. If someone comes to visit, just ask William and the others to deal with it. This is the concession and foreigners will come forward.
It will be easier to talk." After finishing the meal, Tang Cheng, who exuded a faint smell of oil paint, didn't care that Zhou Hongzhuang was also present, and gave Zhang Jianghe some instructions. Zhang Jianghe did not say anything, just nodded lightly.
answer.
Among the three people present, the only one who didn't know anything was Zhou Hongzhuang. Although she knew that Tang Cheng and Zhang Jianghe were playing riddles, Zhou Hongzhuang looked at this and that, but she still didn't understand what these two people were talking about. Although
We already know that Zhou Hongzhuang is a member of the Shanghai underground party, but there are some things that Tang Cheng and Zhang Jianghe still cannot say in front of Zhou Hongzhuang, such as the assassination of Kenichi Yamamoto.
It took a long time to eat dinner. On normal days, Zhang Jianghe would definitely be the first to put down the bowl and chopsticks, but today, Zhang Jianghe was beaten by Tang Cheng. "Uncle, don't worry.
, I'm not a brainless person. I'll be back in full glory in two or three days at most." Tang Cheng had already packed the things he needed for the operation into his equipment bag. When he said goodbye to Zhang Jianghe, his hand
He was only carrying a weightless briefcase.
Zhang Jianghe didn't say much. Since Tang Cheng had already decided on this matter, he knew that even if he stopped it, he might not be able to make Tang Cheng change his decision. He patted Tang Cheng hard on the shoulder, and Zhang Jiang and Shen
He said, "I won't stop you, because this is your own choice and decision. I just want to remind you, think about your family, and if you find that something cannot be done, don't force yourself to do it, and leave the green hills behind."
Don’t worry about running out of firewood.” (To be continued)
