A pot of gasoline was poured on the unconscious trading company manager and on the office desks and chairs. Before Tang Cheng left the manager's office, a piece of sandalwood as thick as his finger was lit by Tang Cheng and then inserted into the office.
On the table of gasoline. According to the results of many experiments in Tangcheng, this piece of sandalwood can burn for about a quarter of an hour. After a quarter of an hour, the sandalwood that burns to the end will ignite the gasoline on the table, and then cause a fire.
The small building of Kanto Trading Company was reduced to ashes.
In order to prevent the plan from failing, Tangcheng also poured gasoline on the corridor and the first floor of the small building, and finally locked the main entrance of the small building very thoughtfully. According to the route when entering, Tangcheng still gained a lot.
He climbed over the wall and left, but he did not return to his residence immediately, but went to another place. After a busy night in Tangcheng, he quietly returned to his residence after midnight. Early the next morning, he was forcibly called by Hans.
Awake.
"Did you do it?" Hans's eyes were bloodshot, and his voice sounded a little hoarse. The sleepy Tang Cheng stretched out his hand to rub his eyes, but did not answer Hans immediately. After Hans asked for the second time,
Tang Cheng then opened his mouth to yawn and got down from the bed. Then he looked at Hans very dissatisfied, saying that he didn't understand what Hans meant. "Damn it, I'm asking you, there were two people in the concession last night.
A Japanese trading house was burglarized and set on fire, was it you who did this?"
Hearing this, Tang Cheng shrugged at Hans and replied with a depressed look, "Hans, we are friends. Since we are friends, you can't blame me for inexplicable things. What's more, which eye did you see?
Did I do what you said? Is it because I went out last night? Do you think this is evidence? I was not the only one who went out last night. Why don't you suspect who?" Tangcheng washed up.
Afterwards, he went downstairs wrapped in pajamas, with Hans following closely behind him.
"Edmund, Mr. Hans has already eaten at the first glance, so there is no need to prepare breakfast for him!" Tang Cheng, who was only wearing pajamas, sat down at the dining table and saw that Edmund brought two breakfasts.
Tang Cheng glanced sideways at Hans, and the words that came out of his mouth made Hans who had already sat down at the table very embarrassed. Edmund, who brought breakfast, was also a little overwhelmed by Tang Cheng's words, but after being slightly dazed,
, still following Hans’ hint, they placed breakfast in front of the two of them in Tangcheng, and then fled the restaurant quickly.
"Well, Mary's cooking is getting better and better, and this omelette is especially good!" Hans looked at him chewing the omelette on the plate deliberately, and his proud face made the original stern
Don with a smile on his face
Cheng finally couldn't hold back his laughter. Hans also softened his expression when he saw this, "Tang, tell me honestly, does what happened last night have anything to do with you? I'm not kidding you, this matter
The impact of the incident is very bad, and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau of the Concession is ready to conduct a strict investigation."
Tang Cheng's expression did not change at all. He just stopped what he was doing and looked at Hans. "Hans, we are friends. Do you really hope that I did what happened last night?" Tang Cheng did not answer Hans clearly.
Instead, he asked a rhetorical question, which made the anger Hans was holding in his chest even more intense. Seeing Hans's expression of anger, Tang Chao suddenly grinned, "I went to Jiaozhou last night.
Over there in the park, where is the time to do those things you mentioned?"
After Tang Cheng said this, Hans woke up. Tang Cheng had told him that he wanted to rescue the Lone Army Camp, and he must have gone to Jiaozhou Park to observe the terrain. If Tang Cheng had gone to Jiaozhou Park last night to check the terrain,
So maybe the two burglaries in the concession last night really had nothing to do with him. Looking at Tang Cheng's expression at the moment, it didn't look like he was joking. Hans was secretly glad in his heart. Fortunately, he didn't bite him to death just now because Tang Cheng did it.
of.
Hans's secretly relieved look made Tang Cheng chuckle in his heart. At the same time, he became more wary of Hans. Although there was no evidence that he did what happened last night, according to Hans's understanding of him,
Sooner or later, this guy will still doubt himself. After breakfast, Hans said goodbye and left, and Tang Cheng also left the residence. He knew that Hans still couldn't completely get rid of his doubts about himself, so he wanted to leave Edmund to search.
Basement time and opportunity.
In the apartment where medicine and surgical instruments were hidden last time, Tang Cheng used a short knife to carefully lift up a piece of floorboard, and temporarily hid the gold bars and oceans he had stolen last night in a secret room in the corner of the apartment. Hans didn't know
In this apartment, even if these gold bars and oceans are taken away by Shanghai underground party members, Tangcheng will not feel it is a pity. Last night, two Japanese businesses were robbed, and the money obtained was enough to support the rescue operation of Gujun Camp, but
Tang Cheng had no intention of stopping because he was about to deal with the Zodiac Society.
The headquarters of the Zodiac Society is in the Japanese-controlled area. As for how to safely enter and exit the Japanese-controlled area, Tang Cheng has already made a plan. The fake identity Tang Cheng used in Shanghai last year
, has not been exposed so far. As a Japanese expatriate living in China, in such a chaotic situation, it is naturally no problem to enter and exit the Japanese-controlled areas. The two operations last night were naturally part of Tangcheng's plan.
Huan, if the Japanese in the concession could not cause chaos, it would not be so convenient for them to enter and exit the Japanese-controlled area.
During lunch, Tang Cheng, who had changed his clothes, had already appeared in Hongkou District. What happened in the concession last night caused many Japanese expatriates who originally lived in the concession to return to Hongkou District today to avoid trouble.
Tangcheng looked ordinary. Tangcheng, who had the advantage of age and could speak fluent Japanese, did not attract the attention of interested people in Hongkou District. Compared with the concession, Hongkou District was a joyous scene because the Japanese offensive was as follows.
Hong, all the Japanese feel that it is no longer difficult to occupy China.
Standing on the streets of Hongkou District, Tang Cheng looked at the proud Japanese expatriates in front of him expressionlessly, but what he was thinking about was how to teach the Japanese a lesson. After a brief lunch, Tang Cheng returned to the hotel and began to make preparations.
, he already knew the location of the Xinya Hotel, the headquarters of the Zodiac Society, and tonight was the day when Tang Cheng launched an operation against the Zodiac Society. After sorting out the weapons and equipment used by the Zodiac Society tonight, Tang Cheng closed his eyes and waited for the night to fall. Time passed little by little.
, Tang Cheng’s mental state was gradually adjusted to its optimal state.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the other side of the Suzhou River was already bustling with lights and lights, but the side of the Suzhou River controlled by the Japanese army was already dark. Tangcheng, which had already surveyed the route and terrain, was at this time, from Hotel 2
Sneaking out of the back window of the building, using the cover of the night and the shadows on the street, he moved quickly towards the Xinya Hotel. The weapon Tang Cheng used tonight was a Mauser submachine pistol with a homemade stock.
and a shotgun.
In the factory workshop of Little York, Tang Cheng not only made some necessary small parts for himself, but also made a steel butt for this Mauser submachine pistol. Although the hair of the butt was added,
The Mauser submachine pistol is a bit lacking in balance, but under Tang Cheng's strong control, this Mauser submachine pistol with a butt can fully exert the power and ultra-high rate of fire similar to a carbine.
Half an hour later, Tang Cheng appeared not far from the Xinya Hotel. From a distance, he saw the Japanese officers coming in and out of the Xinya Hotel from time to time. Tang Cheng frowned slightly. Seeing the appearance of the Xinya Hotel,
Tangcheng knows itself
If you want to sneak in through the main entrance, it may be impossible. After thinking for a while, Tangcheng changed his original plan and walked directly through Tangcheng on the street. After avoiding two groups of Japanese police patrols, he appeared at the Xinya Hotel.
Back alley.
Standing in the dim back alley, Tang Cheng raised his head and looked at the back wall of the New Asia Hotel with light shining through. He could still vaguely hear the laughter and laughter from the New Asia Hotel in the air. Tang Cheng curled his lips and then turned up the short wall in the back alley.
After clearly seeing the situation in the backyard of Xinya Hotel, Tang Cheng climbed down the wall quietly, and then quickly followed the shadow under the wall to the back door of Xinya Hotel. Tang Cheng had no intention of entering through the back door, but
The probe looked through the window to see what was going on inside, then moved a little to the left, then broke the glass and jumped into the empty room.
Tang Cheng did not delay in the empty room, but when he came out of the house, he was dressed in a Japanese military uniform. As for the beard on his chin and the scar on his face, they were naturally Tang Cheng's disguise. Xinya
There are already many Japanese expatriates and military officers living in the hotel. Going up the stairs to Tangcheng on the second floor naturally does not attract anyone's attention. Moreover, the Japanese people encountered along the way are also very enthusiastic about Tangcheng. There are even some
Take the initiative to bow and give way.
The headquarters of the Zodiac Society is in the New Asia Hotel. With the support of the Japanese, the Zodiac Society expanded rapidly. With the increase in the number of people in the Zodiac Society, almost all the sixth and seventh floors of the New Asia Hotel were used by the Zodiac Society.
Tang Cheng was dressed as a Japanese army officer, and there was a faint aura of bloodshed about him. It looked like he had just returned from the front line, so Tang Cheng walked up the stairs to the sixth floor with a straight face. He met all the people along the way.
No one dared to stop Tangcheng.
Standing at the corner of the stairs on the sixth floor, Tang Cheng, who had a short sword hidden in his right sleeve, leaned out and looked at the situation in the corridor. With the support of the Japanese army, the Zodiac Society spent most of its time following the instructions of the Japanese army.
They searched for so-called rebels in the concessions and areas controlled by the Japanese army, but at other times, people like the Zodiac Society were not idle. They kidnapped and extorted money. As long as the wealthy people targeted by the Zodiac Society were generally unable to escape.
It was a coincidence that we came to Tangcheng tonight, and happened to meet the people from the Zodiac Society extorting the meat tickets they had kidnapped. At this moment, there were several people from the Zodiac Society standing in the corridor on the sixth floor watching the fun at the door. "Hey...you guys...are here.
What are you doing?" Tang Cheng, with his military uniform shirt open, suddenly walked out from the corner of the stairs. He was so close that the Zodiac people in the corridor could already smell the strong smell of alcohol on Tang Cheng's body.
