According to the original plan, Ma San would only stay in Shanghai for a short time, and then return to Chongqing with the things entrusted by Tang Cheng. However, Miyamoto Jingichi's incident disrupted this original plan, and Tang Cheng
Tang Cheng didn't seem to be interested in mentioning the matter at this moment. Ma San, who was supposed to leave Shanghai, was naturally happy and kept silent about his departure from Shanghai. Tang Cheng, who had already understood in his heart, did not restrain Ma San and ignored his wallet.
Ma San, who is very enthusiastic, will go out and wander around from time to time.
In the next two days, Tang Cheng stayed in the residence, secretly monitoring Hans in the residence through the cook Mary, but he did not expect that Tang Cheng could be so patient. After breakfast on the third day, he prepared
Ma Sancai, who was out, had not gone far from his residence when a young man who looked like a student thrust a bulging envelope into his hand. After arriving in Shanghai, Ma San, who had been cautious, did not make any announcement or pursue him.
The young man took the envelope and immediately returned to his residence.
"It's okay, it's information sent by members of the Shanghai underground party." Tang Cheng opened the envelope and only briefly glanced at the contents of the envelope before his expression became relaxed. Ma San, who was originally nervous, finally came back to his senses.
The student kid who dared to give him something just now turned out to be a member of Shanghai’s underground party! Tangcheng asked Xu Huanshan for information on gang forces in the concession. Xu Huanshan did not break his promise and sent it to Tangcheng in just two days.
The relevant information he needs.
Although the intelligence summary sent by Xu Huanshan is not comprehensive, the gang forces listed in the intelligence summary have all cooperated with Tegako in private. Tangcheng did not spend too much time to look through it.
After reading this intelligence summary, he immediately decided to take Cao Daya, who was third on the list, as his first target. This guy named Cao Daya once helped Tesco round up the underground party and Shanghai Station in the concession.
People, and more than once.
"Third brother, let's go. I'll take you out for a walk and make some money on the way." Tang Cheng's tone sounded very relaxed, but when Ma San saw Tang Cheng talking, he also put the gun holster under his arm.
When loading the gun, Ma San's expression showed a hint of nervousness. Since the last time he witnessed the scene of shooting and killing people in the streets of Tangcheng, Ma San's attitude towards Tangcheng has undergone earth-shaking changes. Now you will see
When he was playing with his pistol in Tangcheng, he knew that this trip would definitely not be as simple as just hanging out.
Ma San was from a martial arts background and didn't like playing with hot weapons, so Tang Cheng gave Ma San the short knives in the basement. Seeing that Tang Cheng had brought a pistol, Ma San also decided to bring a short knife for self-defense.
"Third brother, you don't have to take the guy with you. If you encounter a patrol, it will be hard to explain! If you really need to take action, just have me. If you go out with me today, you have only one mission, and that is
Just bring the money back."
Tang Cheng has a carry-on equipment bag, and he will put a gun in the holster under Wang's arm in front of Ma San, but he is hiding it and does not want Ma San to know his little secret. But if Ma San carries a weapon with him, once he encounters
The patrol in the concession might cause unnecessary trouble when the time comes. So before Ma San could go back to the room to get the knife, Tang Cheng immediately stopped him. Besides, he had not decided to attack Cao Daya today.
.
The information provided by Xu Huanshan showed that Cao Daya had two pawnshops and a bathhouse in the concession. Compared with the casinos and opium dens opened by other gangs, the pawnshops and bathhouses were insignificant. But in fact, the pawnshop was very profitable.
Yes, especially Cao Daya, who is backed by Ttech, and is engaged in the business of buying and selling drugs and other contraband in the black market. If ranked according to the strength of his power, this Cao Daya is nothing at all, but if he is ranked according to his financial strength, this Cao Daya
But he is at the forefront among the gangs in the concession.
After Tang Cheng was ready, he took Ma San out, but it was still early. Tang Cheng did not take Ma San directly to find Cao Daya's trouble. Instead, he took Ma San to buy an outfit first. He went to his usual place.
The place has been busy for a while, and when Ma San came out of this suit shop, he had a completely new look, and he looked a bit like a Shanghainese shop.
Compared with Tang Cheng, Ma San was a little uncomfortable wearing a suit. When Ma San walked out of the suit shop, his hands and feet were stiff, and he almost looked like he was walking on the same foot. Tang Cheng couldn't help but hold back his laughter.
Tang Cheng and the two wandered around the concession, waiting for a place to have lunch. Tang Cheng then took Ma San and went straight to one of the pawn shops under Cao Daya's name. According to the information provided by Xu Huanshan, this Cao Daya pawn shop every day
At noon, he would take turns to go to two pawnshops. Today is a single day. At noon, Cao Daya would definitely go to Cao Ji's pawnshop in the French Concession, and then he would stay until the afternoon before leaving the pawnshop.
"Is this the pawnshop you want to move?" Standing on the side of Cao Ji's pawnshop in the French Concession
On the other side, he didn't see any big difference in the Caoji pawnshop across the street. Ma San then asked Tang Cheng in a low voice. If he just wanted to deal with such an inconspicuous pawnshop, why did Tang Cheng have to do it himself?
Dressed like this? Ma San felt in his heart that Tang Cheng had something that he had not told him, or that he was hiding it from him on purpose.
Tang Cheng did not answer Ma San immediately, but chuckled. After a few breaths, Tang Cheng finally spoke. "Third brother, please stop thinking about it. I won't do anything unreliable. Don't worry."
"Yeah!" Tang Cheng said not to do unreliable things, but Ma San secretly rolled his eyes in his heart after hearing this, thinking that if you don't do unreliable things, then it's really abnormal.
, could it be that the previous things in the concession were all done by others.
Tang Cheng brought Ma San here not for Cao Ji's pawnshop. He was prepared to wait here for Cao Daya to appear. As long as he used system skills to lock Cao Daya, he would not be afraid of not being able to find him. About a quarter of an hour later
, Cao Daya, who had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, appeared at the door of Cao Ji's pawnshop under the protection of several men. When Tang Cheng, who was less than a hundred meters away from Cao Ji's pawnshop, saw this, he immediately locked Cao Daya with system skills, with a relaxed expression.
Tang Cheng thought to himself, now he felt at ease.
Ma San saw that Tang Cheng had been staring at the people at the door of the pawn shop, but he didn't know that Tang Cheng also had such unnatural means as system skills. "Let's go, find a place to kill time, let's take action after dark, today
The evening will be the day when Cao Daya returns to the west." Tang Cheng's expression was relaxed, but his words were full of hostility. Ma San couldn't help but shudder secretly when he heard the words, and secretly pitied Cao Daya in his heart. According to the usual practice, Cao Daya
He would stay in Cao Ji's pawnshop until dinner. Seeing that it was still early, Tang Cheng took Ma San and went to hang out elsewhere to kill time.
Both Tangcheng and Masan were dressed as children from rich families, and there were also foreigners in the haunts. Even if they were targeted by gang members in the concession, they would not dare to make any outrageous moves. Tangcheng had been going out for several days.
I have never left my residence. Once I have free time and opportunity, of course I can't miss observing what's going on outside. Compared with some time ago, there are a lot less suspicious looking guys in the concession, and I walked past two
Street and Tangcheng only found two guys who looked like plainclothes.
Tang Cheng remained calm, and his eyes did not always fall on the two people, confirming
There was nothing going on around him, so he took Ma San into a shop on the street. After all, Ma San had been following his master since he was a child. After getting along with Tang Cheng during this time, he also had a good understanding of Tang Cheng's behavior.
After getting a general understanding, Tang Cheng suddenly pulled him into a shop on the street. Ma San knew that there might be someone or something outside the shop, which made Tang Cheng temporarily interested.
So as soon as Ma San entered the shop, he subconsciously turned around and looked out from the street window of the shop. Ma San was not Tang Cheng, so he couldn't see the two unusual guys outside the shop. Tang Cheng saw it.
He didn't say anything to explain Ma San's doubts. At first glance, the two suspicious people found in Tangcheng were no different from the passers-by on the street. But if you look closely at their hands, you can find that they have always been
They were talking silently in sign language.
Tang Cheng had never been exposed to sign language before. When he went south to Chongqing to reorganize a veteran police investigation team, by chance, when Tang Cheng accompanied his mother to church for worship, he learned about the wonderful use of sign language from a church teacher.
.However, what Tangcheng requires the veteran police officers to learn is not the sign language specifically for the deaf and mute, but a simple action order, which is the combat sign language used by the special forces of various countries in later generations.
He suddenly discovered that the two people on the street were communicating in sign language. Tang Cheng's first reaction was to be surprised. After he saw a few familiar gestures in the sign language of one of them, he became alert. Tang Cheng
Cheng was calmly selecting things in the shop, but out of the corner of his eye, he kept paying attention to the two people on the street outside. When someone suddenly started running in the street outside the shop, Tang Cheng's attention did not shift from those two people.
Move away.
The street outside the shop suddenly became chaotic. Some people were shouting and some were cursing. When they came out of the shop, Tangcheng saw at a glance that there were patrolmen from the concession arresting people who ran out of an alley on the street. Patrolled by the concession
The men and women who were blocked looked very old. Among the eight or nine people, there were actually two who were dressed as students. Ordinary people would not get close to watch when they saw people being arrested on patrol, but Tang Cheng had discovered this before.
The two suspicious people had actually crossed the street at this time and moved behind the concession patrol officers.
"Third brother, I see something is not quite right. If something happens later, please watch behind you!" Realizing that something was wrong, Tang Cheng whispered to Ma San while unbuttoning his suit jacket so that he could easily take out his gun.
