"That's right, I'm talking about the shoe shop at the end of the street. The owner is an old British man with a white beard." Seeing that Hans still had an expression that didn't understand the situation, Tang Cheng was a little anxious. "I'll tell you from your side.
When I went out, I originally planned to walk all the way back, and happened to pass by the shoe store at the end of the street, so I planned to go in and have a look. But guess what? I have seen this person in a document about the owner of that shoe store."
Tang Cheng used insight to know the identity of the owner of the shoe store, but in front of Hans, Tang Cheng naturally couldn't reveal the system's affairs, so on the way back to the restaurant, Tang Cheng had already thought of words and excuses. "You still have
Do you remember that the last time I came to Shanghai, I attacked a Japanese military hospital? That document was carried by a Japanese military officer at that time. Unfortunately, half of the document was burned. I only saw the name of the shoe store owner on the document.
Photos, and descriptions from British intelligence agencies.”
Tangcheng made his excuse very general, which gave Hans room for his imagination. The British were actually not honest. As early as when the Japanese army launched the Songhu War, the British had already known the Japanese army's movements in advance.
and war intentions, but they did not inform the National Government in time. The British, who were still obsessed with the memories of the Empire on which the sun never set, did not care at all about the war between China and Japan. For them, as long as it did not harm the British
Their interests in China have nothing to do with them.
Hans had also vaguely received news that the British intelligence agency was secretly cooperating with the Japanese to fight against the United States, but he did not get any conclusive evidence to support the news. After hearing what Tang Cheng said, Hans was shocked. It seemed that
The news I received at that time was not groundless. "I had received some unconfirmed news before, saying that the British were secretly cooperating with the Japanese to counter the United States' growing influence in Asia. Now it seems that,
Those rumors must be true!"
Hans's face obviously looked bad. Strictly speaking, these can be regarded as his work mistakes. Hearing this, Tang Cheng frowned secretly. He was not interested in listening to Hans explain the ins and outs to him at the moment. He just wanted to know that he often
When you come to Hans, are you already being targeted by the British? "Don't talk about this for now. I just want to know, have you paid attention to the shoe store at the end of the street? And those people under you
Have you ever noticed that shoe store while walking in and out?"
Hans, who was trying to remember in his mind, immediately raised his head and looked at Tang Cheng after hearing this, "Tang, you mean, that shoe store is here for me?" On the surface, this restaurant is
Hans's hiding place is actually a place where Hans uses his work to benefit himself. If there is a problem with the restaurant, his family members in Germany may lose their current relatively good life. This is Hans's hiding place.
Something that Si decided not to accept.
"I don't know either, but when I was chatting face to face with the shoe store owner just now, it seemed that he didn't know me. If they have been eyeing your place, it's impossible that they don't know that I come here often. Maybe there is something in this that we don't know about.
"The reason." It was impossible for Tang Cheng to express his true judgment, so he kept his words watertight, but his words also subtly guided Hans' thoughts.
"Yes, you are right to worry! The British are also unscrupulous in doing things, but they will not do anything without a reason. If there is no reason, they will not set up a stronghold in this street." Hans was lost in thought.
, but he could not imagine the purpose of the British move, but he had to admit one thing. Before Tang Cheng reminded him, he had indeed not paid any attention to the shoe store at the end of the street.
"In my opinion, it is better to strike first and tie up the owner of the shoe store directly. Then we can have a clear understanding of the whole matter!" Tang Cheng, who remained calm, looked at Hans secretly, and then offered Hans a solution. Suggestion. "Sometimes, a simple and crude solution is worse than just guessing here. And don't you always want to deal with the British? I think this is a good opportunity. The concession is so chaotic. , who can know who did this?"
Tang Cheng's suggestion made Hans a little excited, but he was still a little hesitant. If the situation between the enemy and the enemy was at odds, neither the German intelligence agencies nor the intelligence agencies of other countries would be able to deal with it. But he had never really dealt with it in all these years of lurking in Shanghai.
Intelligence personnel from other countries, because Hans is worried that once this is started, the intelligence circle in Shanghai will be in chaos, and intelligence personnel from all countries in Shanghai may become killer gunmen.
Seeing Hans hesitating, Tang Cheng sighed secretly in his heart. He could already tell that Hans didn't accept the suggestion he just made. But if Tang Cheng couldn't be sure whether the shoe store owner had paid attention to him, he wouldn't have noticed him at all.
I was worried about leaving Shanghai just now, because whether I was caught by British intelligence
The agency noticed that this was important to an operation that Tang Cheng had planned for a long time. "Tang, is there no other solution?" After a while, Hans finally spoke.
Tang Cheng shook his head when he heard this, "Hans, you are also doing intelligence work, how could you not know the methods of the intelligence agency! If the British intelligence agency has noticed you, you will become transparent. Hans, think about it.
Family members still in Germany, do you dare to take such a risk?" Knowing that Hans valued his family the most, Tang Cheng knew how to persuade Hans. Sure enough, when Tang Cheng mentioned Hans' family, Hans'
A hint of anger gradually appeared on his face.
"No, I will never allow my family to be affected!" Hans grabbed the wine glass on the table and drank it all in one gulp. After slamming the glass on the table, Hans stared at Tang Cheng. "Tang,
If this matter is known, it will be the beginning of a disaster. Although the concession has a Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau to handle daily affairs, in fact, the British power is very powerful in the concession. Therefore, this matter is absolutely
You can’t use my people, and…”
Hans suddenly paused and thought of the batch of medicines they got back from Tangcheng today. If he wanted to take action against the shoe store at the end of the street, once these two things were brought together by someone who wanted to think about it, what would he have to face?
The danger will be greater. Tang Cheng has already thought of everything Hans can think of, but he is not as panicked as Hans, because when he decided to come back to report to Hans, he had already decided to hit those batches
Medicine idea.
"Moreover, we just robbed the British warehouse today. If these two things are connected by the British, the trouble may be even greater!" After a few pauses, Hans finally said the following words. At this moment, he
His heart has already been completely messed up, and the Tangcheng in front of him is the only help he can rely on. "So, Tang, you have to help me again. I can't use my people for this matter, I can only ask you."
Help!"
Tang Cheng was secretly proud of having finally led Hans to this step, but there was no sign of any fluctuations in his expression. "Okay, I'm leaving Shanghai anyway. Even if things get serious, they will still find me."
Not with me." Tang Cheng's lack of hesitation made Hans feel better, but before a smile broke out on his face, he saw Tang Cheng stretching out his right hand, using his thumb, index finger and middle finger to make a familiar gesture in front of him
The gesture produced an extremely familiar movement.
The three fingers of Tang Cheng's right hand made gestures of counting money, which instantly improved Hans's mood. However, he did not have an attack on the spot. According to his understanding of Tang Cheng, if Tang Cheng did not do this, it would actually make him angry.
Hans was suspicious. "Give me money. As long as you give me money, I will help you. I also want to remind you that I am very expensive. If you give me less money, I will not agree." He twirled his fingers at Hans.
Tangcheng did not feel embarrassed at all, but looked very confident.
Hans believed that he knew Tang Cheng, and Tang Cheng also knew that Hans was a suspicious person by nature, and Tang Cheng felt that by giving himself a money-hungry persona, he would be able to get in better contact with Hans. "I can provide you with a place.
The safe house is used for interrogation. It’s just about arresting people and clearing traces afterwards. I can’t help you.” Hans didn’t hesitate, and had no intention of bargaining with Tang Cheng. He took out ten gold bars from the drawer and handed them to him.
Tangcheng.
"Don't worry, you can't worry about what I'm doing!" Tang Cheng happily reached out and grabbed the gold bars handed over by Hans, and deliberately took a bite of each of these gold bars in front of Hans to identify the authenticity. "But.
I don’t need the place you provided. I can solve it myself! I plan to take action in these few days. If everything goes well, you will get the answer soon. As a friend, I need to remind you first that you must do your best.
Prepare to be noticed by British intelligence agencies."
Tang Cheng did not say this casually. The person in charge of the British intelligence agency in Shanghai would never sit idle and open a shoe store in this street for fun. Hans has been in Shanghai for many years, and he has a lot of experience in the black market.
So active, although Hans still wears a layer of American skin, the British are also very dissatisfied with the Americans.
"Thank you for your reminder. I will also inquire about the news here. I hope you can also bring me good news!" Tang Cheng has already taken the money, and Hans can only place all his hopes on Tang Cheng.
It was too late for him to regret it now. Tang Cheng has always been a person who doesn't like procrastination in doing things. Now that he has convinced Hans to take action on the shoe store at the end of the street, Tang Cheng has no need to wait a few more days.
idea.
It was still raining outside, and there were fewer passers-by on the street. Some shops closed early when they saw no business. Half an hour later, Tang Cheng left the restaurant through the back door, covering his face with a big black umbrella.
Upper body, walked along the street towards the shoe store at the end of the street.
