Tang Cheng was hiding alone in a well-hidden cellar and was enjoying himself. However, the Special Higher Education Department and the Military Police Headquarters were already in dire straits. Counting the massacre at the izakaya some time ago, there had already been two vicious cases with great impact in Hongkou District, especially this one.
Once, it was a highly targeted assassination. The Special High School Class has now concluded that Kenichi Yamamoto was the target of this unexpected incident. The few military policemen who were killed or injured may just be unlucky people affected by the incident.
What happened in Hongkou District was learned by interested people who were paying close attention to the matter after the military police released comprehensive martial law in Hongkou District that night. Those who learned the inside story secretly marveled that if it were them,
He didn't dare to do such a thing in Hongkou District, which was tightly controlled by the Japanese army. "Great, I'll send a telegram to the Nanjing headquarters immediately, saying that Operation No. 1 has been completed." Bai Zhanshan was very happy after receiving the report from his subordinates.
He jumped up on the spot and immediately sent a telegram to the Nanjing headquarters.
Bai Zhanshan did not expect that Tangcheng would take action so quickly, and the place of action was actually in Hongkou District. While excited, he suddenly felt guilty. Zhang Jianghe's previous premonition was not wrong. The reason why Bai Zhanshan came to Shanghai as soon as he arrived in Shanghai
The reason for contacting Tang Cheng urgently was because he had suggested in front of the director that Tang Cheng participate in the assassination of Yamamoto Kenichi. Zhang Jianghe was injured in an ambush, and Tang Cheng immediately abandoned everything and rushed to Shanghai. This made Tang Cheng who had already been
Bai Zhanshan, who regarded him as his subordinate, was jealous.
Tang Cheng is not old, but he is very capable, especially his ability to search for Japanese spies, which makes many veterans in the Nanjing headquarters of the Intelligence Agency admire him. Bai Zhanshan originally tried his best to win over Tang Cheng, trying to make the super capable Tang Cheng become
He had helped to climb up, but he did not expect that Tang Cheng would actually use his own future to make conditions with the director, and was willing to work for Zhang Jiang and Zhang Mu who had lost power. This was something Bai Zhanshan absolutely did not want to see. Especially at Shanghai Station.
After reporting the Hongkou District Izakaya operation, Bai Zhanshan was lucky enough to learn the inside story from the director. As a result, he became even more angry with Tangcheng.
Originally, he suggested to the director that Tang Cheng should also participate in the assassination of Yamamoto Kenichi. The purpose was not to put Tang Cheng in jail, but to extend his aid in a timely manner when Tang Cheng was in dire straits.
He completely pulled Tang Cheng onto his own ship. But he never expected that Tang Cheng would not only take action immediately, but also complete the assassination of Yamamoto Kenichi alone. Only then did Bai Zhanshan finally realize
So, I still underestimated Tangcheng.
Naturally, Tang Cheng would not know that Bai Zhanshan was secretly targeting him. At this moment, he was hiding in the cellar to recuperate his energy. Although the military police had released the blockade of Hongkou District, Tang Cheng did not want to leave immediately. Tang Cheng had two ears at the moment.
It was obviously not his intention to ignore what was going on outside the window. Tang Cheng, who was hiding in the cellar, did not dare to go out rashly. After all, this was Hongkou District. As long as he made the slightest mistake, he might be chased by a large number of Japanese troops.
.
So Tangcheng chose to wait and see what happens. In short, the assassination of Yamamoto Kenichi has ended. Now he has a lot of time to waste. On the contrary, the Special High School and the Military Police Headquarters are as impatient as ants beside a frying pan.
Nearly 20 hours have passed since the assassination of Kenichi Yamamoto. After inspection and verification by trace experts from the Special High School, the bullet casings found at the scene were definitely shot from a gun barrel. From this, the Special High School judged that the murderer was probably
He was just alone. As for how the murderer managed to move quickly between two shooting positions, one can only ask God.
Kurotō couldn't swallow the rebuke he received for his previous inference. When everyone was at a loss, Kurotō led a group of his men and returned to the scene of the incident for a second investigation. It seemed like he suddenly
The enlightened Heiteng did not just waste time wandering around the intersection like before. Instead, he sent his team members to go up to the rooftop of the cinema and the stairs on the left side of the intersection according to his own ideas.
Top, and then use a watch to strictly calculate the time it takes for the men to move quickly at these two positions.
After several repeated deductions and tests and calculations, Heiteng and others finally came to the conclusion that if the murderer was alone, as long as he was fast enough, he could move quickly between these two locations.
In particular, Kuroteng and others also found half of a rope that had been burned by fire in the back alley of the movie theater. The rope that had been burned by the fire and only had half of it left gave Kuroteng a huge hint. After careful investigation, Kuroteng and others
And on the rooftop of the cinema, traces of hanging ropes were found.
"There is nothing wrong with that. The murderer should have been on the rooftop. He first fired at Colonel Yamamoto's car. After discovering that a military police patrol appeared, the murderer immediately gave up and continued shooting. Instead, he used the rope that had been prepared from here.
We slid down to the back alley of the movie theater." Traces of fixed ropes were found on the edge of the rooftop of the movie theater, which provided basis for Kurotou's speculation, and most of Kurotou's team members agreed with his view.
Kuroteng and others followed the back alley of the cinema and quickly calculated a route leading to the building on the left side of the street. After several field tests, Kuroteng and others discovered that if the murderer left the back alley of the cinema,
By riding a bicycle, you can quickly rush to the roof of the building maintenance building on the left side of the street to set up a second shooting point. After all, Hongkou District is a Japanese-controlled area, and most of the people living here are Japanese expatriates.
The anxious Heiteng immediately resorted to the stupid method of questioning one by one, and soon, they had several clues that were not very clear.
The focus of inquiries by Kuroteng and others were the residents and merchants living near the cinema. The first clue that Kuroteng paid attention to came from a nearby merchant. According to his recollection, before hearing the explosion, he saw
He saw a man riding a bicycle out of the back alley of a movie theater. He just glanced casually at that time, so he didn't see the other person's appearance clearly, but he still remembered what the other person was wearing, especially what he was wearing on his head.
Wearing a gray peaked cap.
Although the merchant could not tell the person's appearance, Kuroteng felt that the gray peaked cap was a good clue. Soon, Kuroteng's men found many gray caps of different styles. After careful identification by the merchant, Kuroteng
Teng's men took the gray caps they identified and went to several checkpoints to question the military police and police officers on duty. Caps are not uncommon in Hongkou District, but there are not many gray ones. Several checkpoints that received the notice began to pay attention to wearing them.
A suspicious person wearing a peaked cap walking in and out of Hongkou District.
Having already got the first clue, Heiteng did not stop the pursuit. They followed the back alley of the movie theater and pursued the building on the left side of the street intersection. As a result, they found the old bicycle abandoned by Tangcheng.
.The bicycle that may have been used by the murderer was found. This major discovery made Kuroteng and others feel elated. It also surprised and surprised others in the Special High School.
With this major discovery, Kuroto regained the initiative to solve the case. He also had many more people at his disposal who could be deployed at will, including two military police patrols. Continuous discoveries made Kuroto full of confidence.
, but he was also disappointed because they found too many fingerprints on this bicycle. Just checking these fingerprints would require a lot of manpower and time. For Kuroteng, who is eager to prove himself, time is the most important thing.
It couldn't be wasted, and the two clues he discovered one after another seemed to take a lot of time to get the results of the investigation.
But Kurotou was already on the verge of being reprimanded by his boss, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue the investigation, even though he had no other clues available. While Kurotou and his team were investigating, the Special High School
The intelligence system also began to exert its power and effect. After confirming that the murderer might be alone, the personnel of the Special High School Section in the black market of the concession immediately began to collect relevant intelligence and launched a campaign against the gun masters active in the concession.
investigation.
As time went by, a large number of clues and intelligence gathered from the concession were eliminated one by one. The so-called gun masters in the concession were very different from the targets that the special high school was looking for. No one who used guns could be found.
, the Special High School had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and start tracing the source of the weapons from the black market. However, the sales of Mauser rifles in China were very large, and the people from the Special High School did not find much useful information in the black market.
The actions of the Special High School in the black market immediately aroused the alert of arms dealers like Hans. With the previous rumor, Hans immediately made a judgment. He immediately thought of Tangcheng. Hans did not really know anything about it.
He didn't know how Tang Cheng's marksmanship was, but he knew that Tang Cheng was a master of action. The operation to eliminate the British arms dealer Henry was the best proof. Especially when Hans called, he was told that Tang Cheng had temporarily gone to Suzhou.
When doing things, Hans strengthened his judgment.
Assuming that he was going out of town to do business, this was something Tang Cheng had discussed with Zhang Jianghe before he left his residence. However, Tang Cheng did not expect that Hans did not need the so-called evidence and had already concluded that this matter was related to him.
Humph, let's see how you explain it to me when you come back! After learning that Tang Cheng was not at his residence, Hans couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart after hanging up the phone, thinking that he had another handle on Tang Cheng.
Naturally, Tang Cheng would not know at this moment. Hans had already guessed that the matter was related to him. In fact, even if Hans stood in front of him to identify him at this moment, Tang Cheng would not care. According to the agreement between Tang Cheng and the director of Nanjing
, everything he promised has basically been completed. As long as Zhang Jiang and his injuries recover to the point where they can move long distances, it will be time to return to Nanjing. By then, even if Hans wants to take advantage of him, he may not have a chance.
