Tangcheng likes to make decisions before taking action, especially when making plans, he likes to follow one step after another. The act of crossing the Suzhou River at night into Hongkou District to snatch gold may seem reckless, but in fact it was done after careful consideration by Tangcheng.
The decision was made, but he did not expect in advance that the amount of gold in the basement of the Jincheng branch was actually one hundred kilograms more. Fortunately, a few people in Tangcheng gritted their teeth and persisted, but according to Tangcheng's plan, the gold was brought back to the concession.
It's not over yet, he still has to leave Shanghai before the Japanese find out.
At this moment, there are less than two hours left before dawn, and up to four hours left before the Jincheng branch opens for work. During this time, Tangcheng needs to entrust some things to Hans. "You are leaving Shanghai today.
?Is it too hasty?" Hans didn't know in advance that Tang Cheng planned to leave Shanghai today. When he suddenly learned the news, Hans felt bad.
"There is an American cargo ship on the dock bound for Hong Kong. It will leave at six in the morning. You have to get me on that cargo ship before six o'clock." Tang Cheng looked down at his watch. It is now three in the morning, which is more than enough time. "I
I was planning to leave Shanghai. If it weren't for this batch of gold, I might have gone to Chongqing by sea." Hans looked ugly at the moment, but Tangcheng would not change his plan just because of Hans' expression.
"Okay! I'll make arrangements to ensure that I won't delay your boarding!" Tangcheng was talking about an American cargo ship. This was no pressure for Hans. "I will get rid of your gold as soon as possible.
, I will arrange for David to be sent directly to Chongqing. But what about the British housekeeper you are looking for? It is too late to meet him now!" Hans' reminder made Tang Cheng suddenly remember that he had asked Hans to help him before.
He was trying to recruit a British butler himself.
"Forget it if I can't meet him. In fact, I don't need a British butler, I just need a British housekeeper for a plan." Tang Cheng did not intend to hide it from Hans, and then roughly informed Hans of his plan.
"Just help me take a look when the time comes. I'm looking for someone who is honest and whose ability is secondary. It's best to find someone who has no other choice but to take care of his family. This kind of person is easy to control. Even if something goes wrong, he will be there."
Easy to deal with.”
Hans obviously didn't expect that Tang Cheng was actually planning such a big thing. Although he only heard a rough idea, Hans felt that if Tang Cheng's plan could be implemented, he might actually get unexpected gains.
Hans frowned secretly, Tang Cheng saw everything, and immediately asked, "How is it? My plan sounds good, right? Do you want to join in? If the situation changes, what will happen there?
It’s a good place to retire.”
Tang Cheng's invitation was a bit too sudden for Hans, especially since the situation in Europe is quite stable now. Tang Cheng said that the situation has changed, and Hans has not seen any abnormalities. "Hans, we are
My friend, therefore, my invitation is always valid. When you encounter trouble that cannot be solved, don't hesitate to come to Chongqing to find me." Seeing that Hans did not respond to him immediately, Tangcheng did not force Hans.
Half an hour later, the things Tang Cheng left in the hotel were brought to the restaurant by Hans' men. Counting the MP40 submachine gun and all the US dollars, Tang Cheng quickly sorted out two big bags. "My goal is too big."
Big, so I won’t see you off for a while. David will personally see you on the ship. If everything goes well, in half a month, David will send the proceeds from the sale of gold to Chongqing and give it to you." Look at the time.
It was almost done, so Hans picked up a big bag and personally escorted Tang Cheng out of the restaurant's back door.
"Take care!" Tang Cheng, who was escorted out of the back door by Hans himself, didn't say much. He just opened his arms and gave Hans a hug before getting in the car, then got into the car and left without looking back. He watched Tang Cheng leave.
Hans stood at the back door of the restaurant for a long time before turning around and going back to the restaurant. The gold they got from Hongkou District in Tangcheng was quickly moved to other places by Hans. I believe it won't take long.
, the gold will be re-smelted into gold bars of varying sizes.
After dawn in Hongkou District, people who got up early did not know what happened in the Jincheng branch. All the people living here were doing the same as usual, until a large number of military police surrounded the Jincheng branch. "Have you heard? Jincheng
Something happened to the branch! Not only that all the guards were killed, I heard that the basement of the Jincheng branch was also robbed!" Watching and joining in the fun is not just something that Chinese people like to do. Facts have proved that people living in Hongkou District
Japanese expats also like to join in the fun.
Outside the gate of Jincheng Branch, the corpses covered with white sheets made the idlers watching the excitement extremely excited. Even if the plainclothes officers and police officers who arrived later tried their best to drive away the idlers watching the excitement.
They just retreated a distance, but did not disperse immediately. More and more bodies were carried out from the Jincheng branch. The military police captain’s
His face became increasingly ugly, because most of the guards of Jincheng Co., Ltd. were veterans who had retired from the army.
"Captain Maeda, the situation has been roughly clarified. The time of the attack should have been after midnight last night. All the guards of the Jincheng branch were dead. According to our current investigation results, the attackers should have sneaked in from the top of the building and then descended from above.
Next, attack the guards on duty last night at Jincheng Branch one by one, and then leave through the gate." Those surveying the scene in Jincheng Branch were not just trace experts from the Special High School Course, but also several intelligence personnel from the Military Police Headquarters, who were also good at surveying.
on site.
The intelligence officer's report made Captain Maeda frown. Ever since Major General Heng Yuan was assassinated in Hongkou District, the military police units responsible for daily patrols have been reprimanded by their superiors one after another. Although the military police units have cooperated with the Special High School Course to carry out the
A total blockade was launched, but several rounds of searches yielded no results. Now something happened at the Jincheng branch. Captain Maeda already foresees that he will be reprimanded again, and he may not be able to continue his job as a captain.
Captain Maeda's foresight was very accurate. He learned that the Jincheng branch had been attacked. The attackers not only killed all the guards of the Jincheng branch last night, but also robbed several hundred kilograms of gold and more than 200,000 US dollars in cash from the vault of the Jincheng branch.
, the entire military police headquarters' senior management immediately went crazy. Jincheng Co., Ltd. has a very close relationship with the Japanese military. They not only do business with the Kwantung Army, but also do business with the Japanese army in Shanghai.
Especially among the senior officials of the Military Police Headquarters, many people use Shinjo Co., Ltd. to transport the good things they got from China back to Japan. Half of the US dollar cash in the vault of the Kinjo branch belongs to the Military Police Headquarters
Yes, that was the reward for Jincheng Branch’s purchase of precious metals from the Japanese army in Shanghai. The military police officers responsible for night patrol in Hongkou District last night were questioned one by one. After confirming that the patrol team found no abnormalities, the military police headquarters focused on
In Hongkou District.
The Military Police Headquarters felt that the attackers and the gold had not left Hongkou District, but the judgment of the Special High School Division was the opposite. They believed that not only the attackers had left Hongkou District, but also that the gold was no longer in Hongkou District. On-site inspection,
No useful clues were found, and the Military Police Headquarters was reluctant to cooperate with the Special High School Division to find the whereabouts of the attacker. As time passed, the news that the basement of the Jincheng Branch was robbed finally spread.
well aware
Hans, who was still involved, pretended not to know anything and pretended to learn the news from other people. In order to pretend to be more like him, Hans even paid money to get the news from an insider after he learned the news.
He bought more detailed information and sold the newly obtained information on the black market. Hans did this naturally to eliminate others' doubts about himself, and at the same time, he also wanted to know the attitudes of other forces towards this matter.
The Juntong Shanghai Station got the news later than Hans. When they first heard the news, the Shanghai Station didn't pay much attention to it, but when they heard that the Jincheng branch had been robbed of hundreds of kilograms of gold and more than 200,000 US dollars in cash,
, everyone at Shanghai Station felt unbelievable. No matter how good the gold and US dollars are, they can only save one life. According to the news, the comprehensive blockade in Hongkou District was not lifted last night. They really can’t imagine who can have such courage to do this.
Something!
Shanghai Station, who couldn't think of a clue, was now in a mood of envy and jealousy, while Xu Yingzi and others who also learned the news were filled with deep hatred, because Tang Cheng's actions last night were completely intercepted.
Hu, Xu Yingzi and the others had planned this operation for half a year. In order to find out the situation inside the Jincheng branch, Xu Yingzi and the others not only spent a lot of money, but also used a honey trap.
It took half a year of preparation, during which a lot of money was spent, and a niece of Xu Yingzi was hired. Seeing that the special envoy had arrived in Shanghai and brought with him the manpower for the operation, it happened that at this moment, someone from the Jincheng branch
The gold and US dollar cash were taken away first. This means that all the preparations that Xu Yingzi and the others have spent time and energy on have been in vain. "Asiba, this damn thing must not be seen by me.
!”
Xu Yingzi was furious, with her hair disheveled. Through the internal information in the gendarmerie, Xu Yingzi already knew all the details of the robbery at the Jincheng branch. Especially when she learned the amount of the robbery, Xu Yingzi almost lost her teeth.
It was bitten into pieces for no other reason than she had already concluded that what happened last night was related to that young man.
The young man Xu Yingzi was thinking about was naturally Tang Cheng, but the furious Xu Yingzi didn't know that Tang Cheng, whom she hated to the bone, had already left Shanghai. At this time, Tang Cheng had already left the sea area of Shanghai, with a look on his face.
Leisurely, he was standing on the side of the ship, looking far into the distance. In a very good mood, he was already secretly calculating the time for his return to Chongqing.
