Joseph's words made Tang Cheng silent for a moment, and then he took out two gold bars from his coat pocket and pushed them to Joseph. "Joseph, this matter is very important to me. I hope you can help me with all your strength." As he spoke,
Tang Cheng turned to look at Hans, "Hans, Joseph must help me immediately. If you need help, you can tell me and I will try my best to help you. But from now on, Joseph must follow me until he helps me."
Until I find those Japanese people."
During the relationship between Tang Cheng and Hans, he never liked forcing each other, but this time, he was so panicked that he could no longer care about it. When he talked to Hans, his tone was obviously forced.
Taste. Tang Cheng's strength made Hans very speechless, but Joseph, who was born greedy for money, didn't care about it, because the four gold bars that Tang Cheng took out had already been put into his pocket.
Although Joseph was greedy for money, Tang Cheng knew that he was a man who would do things as long as he received money, and the price he just gave was not low. Joseph's greedy temper made Hans very speechless, but he did not
Stop Joseph. After all, he only came to Nanjing this time to handle a private matter. Hans did not tell Tang Cheng the purpose of coming to Nanjing, and Tang Cheng did not ask further questions. He just took Joseph and left the shoe store immediately. As the old saying goes, cats have
Like a cat, a mouse follows the path of a mouse. Although Joseph is not a qualified intelligence agent, he is very good at finding out information.
Early the next morning, Joseph, who had not slept all night, called Tang Cheng and said that the things Tang Cheng wanted him to do had already been figured out. Tang Cheng was very happy to hear this. "Uncle Cao, I'm going out to do something. You can arrange it."
I want you to drive for me, lest you say I don't follow the rules." After coming back last night, Cao Wanchun gave him a lecture. Tang Cheng, who was not tired of going to the trouble, wanted to go out now, so he took the initiative and asked Cao Wanchun to arrange for someone to drive for him.
The place where Tang Cheng met Joseph was his leather shop. The person sent by Cao Wanchun was left in the car by Tang Cheng. "Tang, can you tell me why you must find the person in the photo?" Apparently it was.
Joseph, who had already reaped the rewards, seemed to be in good spirits. Although the guy hadn't slept all night and his eyes were bloodshot at the moment, there was obviously a hint of relief in his tone. Tang Cheng did not answer Joseph immediately, but just stretched out his right hand towards the opponent, and then
The reporter took out a stack of paper and handed it to Tang Cheng knowingly.
"These are all the information I got last night. I have made a preliminary summary. Although the person in the photo has not been found yet, I guarantee that as long as he is in Nanjing, I will definitely be able to find him before dark today.
I received news about him." Joseph grabbed the cigarette on the table and lit one. He was secretly paying attention to Tang Cheng's reaction from the corner of his eye. At this moment, he was feeling anxious and secretly. After all, Tang Cheng was looking for him to find him.
That person in the photo.
Tang Cheng ignored Joseph's little move and just lowered his head to look at the information that Joseph had compiled. Seeing that there was no anger in Tang Cheng's expression, Joseph immediately felt relieved and immediately spoke for Tang Cheng to interpret the information that he had compiled. "I
I knew that the people you were looking for were probably Japanese, so I contacted my informant. During this period, the number of people entering and exiting Nanjing was very chaotic, especially at Xiaguan Wharf. My informant confirmed that there were at least three waves of people entering and exiting Nanjing during this period.
Japanese guys entered Nanjing City, and the total number of them was more than thirty."
Joseph's words made Tang Cheng frown secretly. There were more than thirty suspicious people suspected of being Japanese at the Xiaguan Pier. Tang Cheng really didn't know the purpose of those plainclothes secret conversations arranged by the Intelligence Department at the Xiaguan Pier.
"Among these three groups of people, my informant can only determine the whereabouts of one of them. The specific number and address are at the bottom of the second page. As for the whereabouts of the other two groups, I only know a rough location now.
The specific situation may not be known until lunch time."
Joseph, with a cigarette in his mouth, poked at the pieces of paper in Tang Cheng's hand, but his thumb and index finger always made habitual gestures like counting money. "Okay, then you
Just stay in the store and wait for your people to deliver the news. I'll leave first and come back during lunch time." Tang Cheng then put away the pieces of paper, deliberately not looking at the hopeful expression on Joseph's face.
Turn around and walk out of the store.
Joseph, who was disappointed in his heart, looked at Tang Cheng's back and opened his mouth but said nothing. But just when his eyes were dull and full of disappointment, Tang Cheng, who had already reached the door of the store, suddenly turned around and walked back.
"Ha, I almost forgot! This is a thank you gift for your efforts last night. If I can hear better news when I come over during lunch time, maybe you can get a thank you gift!"
Tang Cheng's slightly smiling words rang out, and a yellow gold bar was patted by Tang Cheng on the table in front of Joseph.
Joseph, who was originally disappointed, immediately became energetic. Before Tang Cheng could turn around and leave the leather goods store, he tightly grasped the gold bar on the table in his hand, with a greedy look that no one could see.
, couldn't help but laugh out loud. Tangcheng had calculated well and only stayed at Joseph's place for no more than three to five minutes. Under the driver's puzzled eyes, he immediately returned to the small courtyard and found Cao Wanchun.
"Uncle Cao, contact the director and tell me that there is an urgent situation here that needs to be reported." Tang Cheng, who had already linked the three waves of suspicious people mentioned by Joseph to the Nanjing city defense, was filled with panic at this moment. He is now
I finally understand why there were riots in Nanjing when the Chinese army was defending Nanjing and fighting fiercely with Japan. I am sorry that the Japanese had quietly sent a large number of lurking operatives to Nanjing before launching the Songhu Battle.
.
The Japanese deployed operational personnel in Nanjing in advance, which could be used to transmit intelligence to the outside world. They could also create riots behind the defenders after the war broke out. They could even be used as surprise troops to raid the defenders' headquarters or hospitals and other important places.
Cao Wanchun left to make a phone call, while Tang Cheng, who was frightened, got up and walked around the room. Once the war broke out, Nanjing would definitely be unsafe, but he could not just sit back and watch Japanese lurkers roaming around the city.
Are you giving up your life because of carelessness? Or are you following your previous arrangements and escaping to Chongqing for your family? This is obviously a dilemma. If it were half a year ago, Tangcheng, who was still struggling for food and clothing, would definitely choose
Mingzhe went south to Chongqing to protect himself, but after experiencing so many things, Tang Cheng's mood still changed. I don't know what Cao Wanchun told the director on the phone. The latter came very quickly, and Tang Cheng couldn't do it yet.
After making a choice, the director drove over with only Secretary Yao.
"Virgo, this is some information I asked a friend to find out. This friend of mine has been in the black market all year round and has his own way of getting information." In front of the director, Tang Cheng could not tell that Joseph was actually a man.
The black market intelligence dealer could only say that Joseph was very good at collecting information. The director also knew that Tang Cheng's words were just rhetoric, but he didn't pursue it and just motioned for Tang Cheng to continue.
"This friend of mine said that a lot of suspicious people have been coming in and out of Nanjing recently. I did a preliminary screening and summary of the information he collected, and it was confirmed that three groups of people were very suspicious. But time is tight,
I can only confirm the specific location of one of the groups now. It will take time to find out the specific situation of the other two groups." At this point, Tang Cheng suddenly paused and looked up at the director, with a look in his eyes.
Strange colors.
The director was stunned for a moment, then reacted and raised his hand to Secretary Yao, who then turned around and left the room. Only Tang Cheng, Cao Wanchun and the director were left in the room, following Secretary Yao's footsteps.
After leaving, the atmosphere in the room became obviously solemn. "Virgo, I remember that after I came back from Shanghai, in Uncle Zhang's report, I once mentioned a piece of news I got from the Japanese, which was that the Japanese army in Shanghai was attacking
News of targeted training for expatriates.”
The director nodded slightly upon hearing this, acknowledging that he had seen this content in Zhang Jianghe's report, and Tang Cheng then continued. "Director, I can assure you that this information was obtained by me from a Japanese military policeman.
Obtained from an army officer. This Japanese officer named Narukawa Heigoro, he has an officer from his hometown, who is performing the task of training expatriates in the military police force." Tang Cheng suddenly brought the topic to Shanghai, and the director and Cao Wanchun said for a moment,
I don’t even know what Tang Cheng wants to say.
"Think about it, the Japanese army has stationed a large number of military police units in Shanghai, and they also have warships in Shanghai. Why do they need to dispatch officers to specially train Japanese expatriates in Shanghai?" Tang Cheng could not say it directly to the two people in front of him.
Inside information, they can only fabricate half-truths and half-false news to lure the two directors to think about what they want to express. Even if the director asks the Shanghai Station to verify the news, they will find that the Japanese army has secret armed forces in Shanghai.
The plans of Shanghai expatriates.
The director was still thinking about Tang Cheng's words secretly, but Cao Wanchun had already exclaimed at this moment, "Xiaowu, you mean, the Japanese are going to take action in Shanghai? Are they training the overseas Chinese in Shanghai because they don't have enough troops?" Cao Wanchun originally thought.
Since the Japanese army has warships in Shanghai, why don't they use warships to transport cases to Shanghai? Why bother to train the overseas Chinese in Shanghai? But Cao Wanchun is a member of the Intelligence Department after all. Compared with outsiders, Cao Wanchun has more contact with many people related to the Japanese army.
Intelligence. The estrangement and struggle between the Japanese army and navy have been going on for a long time. If the Japanese army in Shanghai needs warships to transport troops, but the Japanese navy does not cooperate, it is not impossible that such a thing will happen. (To be continued)
