The contact person did not appear on time, and Li Muxin and Li Muxin were ready to leave immediately, but Tang Cheng's sudden appearance forced Li Muxin and Li Muxin to stop. Originally, Ran Jing was still complaining about Tang Cheng, thinking that he
It delayed the two of them to escape, but after hearing Tang Cheng say that there were more military police outside the hotel, Ran Jing realized that if Tang Cheng's appearance hadn't stopped the two of them, maybe they would have
He had been taken away by the military police outside the hotel.
"You shouldn't be here without purpose. I guess you must have come with a mission when you come to Xinya Hotel!" Seeing that Li Muxin and both of them were silent, Tang Cheng smiled and said. "Look at you.
It doesn't look like you are here to kill people, so there can only be one explanation. You are here to find or connect with someone. But looking at the current situation, I'm afraid the person you are waiting for will not show up.
Looking at the increased number of military police outside, you can see how tightly the Japanese control the New Asia Hotel."
For such a long time, the contact person did not show up. Without Tang Cheng's reminder, Li Muxin knew that something must have happened. "What on earth do you want to do?" Tang Cheng said so much, and Li Muxin also noticed it.
The person in front of me definitely didn't come here to hang out. Li Muxin finally started to get down to business. Tangcheng also looked serious, changed his previous playful expression, and told Li Muxin and the others the reason for his visit.
"Anyway, you two can't leave here safely now. I also need assistants for my operations. Why don't you two help me first? After my operations are over, I will provide you with a batch of supplies for free.
Underground party, medicine, weapons or electrical materials, you can choose whatever you want." Li Muxin and Ran Jing are both members of the underground party, so Tangcheng has no need to hide anything when facing them.
"Actually, you don't need to do anything too dangerous. I will finish the specific action alone, but I need your help. After I start taking action, you will create panic in the hotel and help me escape." Tang Cheng.
He did not elaborate on the specific action steps and content, because at this moment, he was not sure whether Li Muxin and Ran Jing would agree to help him. Li Muxin and Ran Jing looked at each other silently, they were already trapped here.
If the contact person doesn't show up, their trip will be in vain.
But after all, they are members of the Shanghai Underground Party. Even if Tang Cheng is not from the Intelligence Department, if they rashly agree to help Tang Cheng, they may be scrutinized by their superiors afterwards, and they may also cause trouble for the Shanghai Underground Party.
Meet Li Muxin and Ran Jing
There was a hint of embarrassment in the expressions of the two of them, and Tang Cheng pretended to be relaxed and said, "I know you have concerns. After all, you are all organized people, unlike me, who can do whatever I want."
"But I don't need you to do too much. I just need to cooperate with me a little when the time comes." As he spoke, Tang Cheng took out two matchbox-sized paper boxes from his pocket and handed them to Li Muxin. "Here.
There are two cigarette boxes. When using them, just pull the red line next to the box, and smoke will come out of the box. After you hear the gunfire, you only need to go to the place where people gather and release these two cigarette boxes.
Just the cigarette case, don't worry about other things."
The cigarette box that Tang Cheng took out was only the size of a matchbox. Li Muxin and Ran Jing stared at it for a while, but they didn't see the reason. They just helped put out two cigarette boxes. Li Muxin and Ran Jing
The expressions of the two people relaxed a lot. Tang Cheng had never expected to convince these two underground party members that the other party would agree to help put out the cigarette boxes. This was beyond Tang Cheng's expectation. What happened next?
Tangcheng has no intention of involving Li Muxin and others in depth.
"Can you trust this person?" Until Tang Cheng left, the contact person still didn't show up. After closing the door, Ran Jing turned around and looked at Li Muxin. Compared with Li Muxin, Ran Jing said to Tang Cheng just now
Those who have always been skeptical. Since the New Asia Hotel has been strictly controlled by the military police, Ran Jing feels that it is difficult to assassinate people protected by the military police in such an environment. Ran Jing does not think that just now
People can do it.
Li Muxin was deep in thought. He had just stood at the window and looked outside. There were indeed many Japanese military police outside the hotel. It was not a wise move for them to leave the Xinya Hotel at this time. Since it was not safe to leave the hotel,
The only option is to stay here. Whether you believe in the other party or not, it seems to be unimportant now. Since the other party can come to your door, it means that they already know their underground party identities.
Tang Cheng didn't care whether Li Muxin and Ran Jing believed in him. He just wanted to find two temporary assistants. Even if Li Muxin refused, Tang Cheng would not lose anything. He left Li Muxin's room and
Tang Cheng climbed out through the window at the end of the corridor, then slid along the rope to the first floor, and quietly returned to the toilet on the first floor. After being able to sneak into the Xinya Hotel, Tang Cheng did not think about leaving easily.
, because this is the only way he can get in close contact with Shimakawa.
The Japanese army has tightened its control over the New Asia Hotel and its surroundings. Tangcheng didn't know if this was because Shimakawa was about to arrive in Shanghai. While waiting patiently, another day passed, and tomorrow was the day when Shimokawa arrived in Shanghai. The end.
After a day's work, Tang Cheng did not choose to find Li Muxin and the others again. Instead, after dark, he quietly left the dormitory on the first floor of the hotel and began to look for an escape route that might come in handy.
Because of the military police headquarters' schedule for Shimakawa, Tang Cheng decided to assassinate him in the New Asia Hotel. However, how to leave the hotel safely became an important matter that Tang Cheng had to determine tonight. Avoid the hotel along the way.
With the Japanese military police appearing around him at any time, Tang Cheng didn't waste any effort at all to determine a retreat route for himself. He even found two temporary hiding places.
Tang Cheng, who returned to the hotel dormitory along the same route, repeated the deduction in his mind. From the beginning of the operation to the safe retreat, he repeated the deduction more than ten times before finally deciding to carry out the operation against the target in the Xinya Hotel. According to the military police commander
According to the Ministry's schedule, after Shimakawa arrives in Shanghai, the Military Police Headquarters will organize a welcome reception for Shimakawa at the New Asia Hotel. Tang Cheng, who is just a kitchen helper, has no chance to enter the meeting, but he knows
The cocktail party is the best opportunity to take action.
Early the next morning, the Xinya Hotel became busy. During the Tangcheng period, I hid in the toilet several times to check the weapons and equipment in my personal equipment bag. It was not until lunch time that the number of military police outside the hotel increased.
It has been added that all personnel entering and leaving the New Asia Hotel, whether Japanese or not, must be subject to verification by plainclothes agents of the High Tech Section. This is also the case for Tangcheng and others who work in the hotel.
Tang Cheng was very careful, and the forged documents he used passed the verification of the plainclothes agents. However, there was one thing that made him very dissatisfied. The passage from the back kitchen to the front hall of the hotel was guarded by three plainclothes agents. Change
In other words, if Tang Cheng wants to sneak into the reception, he must first find a way to pass through this passage safely, otherwise he will lose his position at the reception.
An opportunity to take action against Shimakawa.
As time passed, Shimakawa, who had arrived in Shanghai, appeared at the New Asia Hotel under the protection of a team of plainclothes military police. According to the arrangement of the military police headquarters, the welcome reception would begin at dinner time. Those who had been notified
The hotel's back kitchen began to work even busier, but the handyman Tang Cheng had been looking for opportunities to sneak into the reception, but things went against his wishes. The opportunity he wanted did not appear until the reception started.
Li Muxin and Li Muxin, disguised as Japanese businessmen, were also invited to attend the welcome reception. Just as Ran Jing had worried in advance, Li Muxin did not see Tang Cheng appear at the reception. "Don't worry, wait and see!" Ran Jing worried.
The cigarette box hidden on his body would be discovered by the plainclothes agents at the reception, and they would look for opportunities to throw it away or hide it, but were stopped by Li Muxin. In the dark, Li Muxin felt that Tang Cheng would definitely take action tonight.
.
More and more guests came to the reception at Xinya Hotel, but Tang Cheng could only stay in the back kitchen of the hotel. Finally, he got an opportunity to send the garbage outside the back door of the hotel. Sending garbage far away would mean
Given the opportunity to leave the kitchen, Tang Cheng happily accepted the job that no one else was willing to take over. But when Tang Cheng left the kitchen with the garbage basket, he was followed by two plainclothes agents. Although these two plainclothes agents
The agent said he was going out to smoke, but Tang Cheng knew that these two people must be here to keep an eye on him.
Since you are the ones who want to die, then I can only meet your death request! Tang Cheng pretended not to know anything and just pulled the garbage basket to the back door of the hotel, but in fact he had already done it
He made preparations casually. "Borrow me a fire!" After placing the trash basket in a fixed position, Tang Cheng turned around and walked back to the two plainclothes agents. When he walked up to the two plainclothes agents, he took out cigarettes from his pocket and offered them to them.
People use fire to light cigarettes.
The two plainclothes agents who had already lit the cigarette had no doubt that he was there, but when one of them took out the match, the short knife that suddenly appeared in Tang Cheng's right hand had already penetrated the other's left chest. Before the plainclothes agent took out the match, he
The agent reacted, and Tang Cheng, who withdrew his dagger, quickly raised his arm and swung the knife. The sharp blade was nailed into the neck of the plainclothes agent in the next second. Tang Cheng acted too quickly and chose his timing well. The two plainclothes men
The agents were stabbed and fell unconscious one after another, but were not noticed by the military police surrounding the hotel.
