Chapter 12 Success

Tang Cheng left the church early in the morning and walked around the concession, Robert did not bring the pistol with him, Tang Cheng learned a lot of skills from Mao Wu to fight the black hands under the stick. The target is too conspicuous during the day, and it is suitable to find the target to observe the terrain during the day, and the best time to start at night is the night when to start, and the night is the best cover for Tang City.

Tang Cheng fixed the scope of the assassination target at a radius of 3 miles from the church, and was closer to the church to facilitate his safe withdrawal after he succeeded, because no concession patrol would search the church. Tang Cheng, who had never killed anyone, knew that it was very difficult to deal with those Japanese soldiers with weapons, but there were not only Japanese soldiers in the concession, but also those Japanese expatriates living in Shanghai.

Most of the shops and trading houses in the concession were Japanese shops, which were places where Japanese expatriates were concentrated, and Tangcheng spent the whole morning secretly observing several of them. In the end, he targeted a Japanese sushi restaurant with only one owner and two apprentices, and the Japanese-speaking Tang Cheng even went in to buy a sushi, but his fluency in Japanese and polite demeanor did not arouse the suspicion of the boss and apprentice.

A small bell is installed on the door of the "Welcome" sushi restaurant, and if someone pushes the wooden door of the sushi restaurant in and out, the bell will make a sound. Hearing the bell ringing, the sushi restaurant owner and two apprentices who saw someone entering the restaurant bowed to Tang Cheng according to etiquette, and Tang Cheng, who often followed Mao Wu and them around the concession, was no stranger to the shops and trading companies opened by the Japanese.

This sushi restaurant was obviously much smaller than the one Tang Cheng had visited, and after looking around, Tang Cheng didn't see a private room with a partition door. There is obviously only one sushi restaurant in the whole area, and the large and heavy wooden bar and counter are integrated into one, dividing the sushi restaurant into two halves, where guests can sit directly at the bar and enjoy delicious freshly prepared sushi while the sushi maker makes sushi in front of the guests.

"You're very fresh, you don't seem to have been to my shop." Tang Cheng asked for a sushi according to his preference, and the boss Oshi didn't forget to chat with Tang Cheng when he was making sushi, but he shouldn't be familiar with how he makes sushi. "Need something else? Our Tianluo woman is very good, would you like to try it? The owner of the sushi restaurant, Omi, was obviously interested in this slightly dull guest, and when Tang Cheng was almost running out of sushi, he recommended the fried Tianluo woman to Tang Cheng.

"Let's have a takoyaki, I seem to smell it." Swallowing the sushi in his mouth, Tang Cheng ordered a takoyaki. The Japanese Tianluo woman is simply a thing that is fried with flour and eggs wrapped in vegetable oil, and if it is not dipped in soy sauce or homemade sauce, it cannot be swallowed at all, and Tang Cheng would rather eat octopus balls than eat any Tianluo woman.

This was the first time Tang Cheng had spoken since he entered the store, and Omi was obviously greatly encouraged, and the amount of takoyaki served to him was obviously more than usual. While Tang Cheng was chewing slowly on the takoyaki, other customers came to the sushi restaurant one after another, taking advantage of the opportunity for the chattering sushi restaurant owner to talk to other guests, Tang Cheng secretly observed this sushi restaurant. In addition to the front of the sushi restaurant, there is also a back door, and there seems to be only the boss and the two apprentices in the whole store.

Taking the opportunity of one of the apprentices to open the back door to move things, Tang Cheng finally saw the situation at the back door of the sushi restaurant, Tang Cheng saw the clothes drying on the rope, so he judged that the back of the store should be the residence, that is to say, this sushi restaurant is the layout of the front store and the back house, but I don't know how many Japanese people live in the backyard of the sushi restaurant after the night falls. It is impossible for the boss to directly tell Tang Cheng how many people they will live in the backyard at night, which requires Tang Cheng to find a way to find the answer by himself, and Tang Cheng, who is bent on assassinating the Japanese to avenge Robert, has to mobilize his brain cells to find a way.

"The sushi and takoyaki in your store are delicious, and I want to order more food for tonight's trading company party, but I wonder if you can make 30 servings before closing the restaurant?" After the customers left, Tang offered to make reservations for sushi and takoyaki, and said that if Oshi's sushi restaurant couldn't do it, he was ready to consider another sushi restaurant to make reservations. Seeing that Oshi's expression was a little stiff, Tang Cheng took out a few banknotes from his pocket and put them on the bar, "I can pay you some deposits first, and I will come to the door to pick them up after dark." ”

"Okay, this is it." Forced to walk out of the sushi restaurant, Kara felt his back soaked, his first confrontation with the Japanese, and the 19-year-old did something he had never done before. The boss and his apprentices who were happy to win the order didn't know that Tang Cheng had already set their sights on them, and they were still complacent and busy preparing the ingredients they needed, and the sushi and takoyaki for 30 people were enough for them to be busy, and if they didn't hurry up, they might delay this big order.

Pressing down his beating heart, Tang Cheng walked slowly across the street and disappeared into a small alley, which was the route that Tang Cheng had chosen early in the morning, and after passing through this alley was another street, and after walking out of this street a short distance and turning left was another street to the church. According to this route, it will only take 20 minutes to walk from the sushi restaurant back to the church, and if the town is running, it may only take a few minutes to get back to the church.

Tang Cheng, who returned to the church, did not go out again before dark, and had been hiding in the locked room and fiddling with the pistol left by Robert, holding the empty gun with unloaded bullets and practicing shooting repeatedly, Tang Cheng planned to assassinate the three Japanese in the sushi restaurant at night. The pistol only has one magazine, which means that Tang Cheng must kill all three Japanese people in the sushi restaurant or subdue them completely before he can use up the seven bullets in the magazine, otherwise they will not give Tang Cheng time to reload the magazine, and Tang Cheng is considering whether he needs to bring the boning knife from the church kitchen.

In Tang Cheng's anxious waiting, the sky finally calmed down, and Tang Cheng, who was already so nervous that his heart was about to jump out of his chest, carefully checked what he needed to carry before leaving, including a pistol with seven bullets, seven spare bullets, a boning knife wrapped in a coarse cloth, a stack of banknotes left by Robert, and a small photo of Robert. Robert's picture is packed into the inner pocket on the left side of his jacket, so that Tang Cheng can feel Robert's presence, spare bullets are divided into the pants pockets on both sides, and the pistol and sharp knife are pinned to the waist, Tang Cheng can pull them out with just a backhand.

"Robert, I'm going to kill the Japanese and avenge you." After taking a few deep breaths in a row, Tang Cheng left the church without hesitation, he was going to kill the Japanese, he was going to avenge Robert, the young Tang Lei knew that there were many dangers in this trip, but he still had to do it. The man's promise, this is the first code of conduct that Robert taught him since he remembered Tang Cheng, since Tang Cheng said in front of Mike that he would avenge Robert, then he would go even if he risked a lot of danger.

After wandering around the Japanese-owned sushi restaurant several times, Tang Cheng made sure that there were no customers in the sushi restaurant, and then he put his right hand into his trouser pocket and pushed open the sushi restaurant door with his left hand with the cold handle of the gun. There were indeed no customers in the sushi restaurant, and the owner Omi and two apprentices were placing sushi and takoyaki on the bar, and the arrival of Tang Cheng made the three of them overjoyed.

"Ah, you're here, sushi and takoyaki for 30 people are ready, and you can also have my apprentice in the shop help you deliver it to the trading company." Seeing Tang Cheng come at the appointment, the boss Omi, who had been a little worried, finally put his mind at ease, but the young and bold guest didn't look very good. The diligent Omi asked his apprentice to bring a bowl of miso soup to Tang Cheng, and Tang Cheng, who only wanted to avenge Robert, still had the heart to drink this bowl of tofu soup, so he directly pulled out the pistol as soon as his mind was hot.

"Shut up, I'm telling you to shut up." In the face of these three living people, Tang Cheng still didn't have the courage to pull the trigger of the pistol after all, but the three trembling Japanese were obviously more afraid than him. After Tang Cheng smashed the head of the boss Omi with the handle of his pistol, the two apprentices at the sushi restaurant obediently carried Omi into the backyard like a rice dumpling tied with a rope, and then the two tied their legs to each other.

"Please don't kill us, I know where the boss's money is, I tell you, as long as you don't kill us." Yamaki, who was frightened and peed his pants, tied his arms to Inoue, who was also an apprentice, and stuffed the mouths of the boss Omi and Inoue with a rag according to Tang Chuan's wishes, and kept begging for mercy with Tang Cheng. This guy thinks of himself as a thief who robs the road, and Tang Cheng, who has a wit, tied up the rest of Yamamoto in a knot, and then took out the banknotes stored in Oshi according to what Yamamoto said.

The people were tied up, and the money was loaded, but the next thing was troublesome, and the three living people looked at him with wide round eyes, and Tang Cheng was a little unable to do it. When Tang Cheng lived in Beiping with Robert when he was a child, he once secretly went to the place where pigs and chickens were slaughtered with familiar children, and only one knife went down, and the pigs and cows that were fatter than people flowed like blood and then slowly lost their vitality.

Killing people seems to be more difficult than Tang Cheng disguised as a Japanese to deceive Omi's trust, and just as Tang Cheng is about to make a difficult choice, the street outside the sushi restaurant suddenly resounds with chaotic and dense footsteps, which sounds like the sound of hundreds of people running together. Tang Cheng, who didn't care about these many things, picked up the handle of the pistol and smashed them one by one, and then clutched the pistol and stepped on the ladder in the corner of the wall to climb the wall and quietly look out.
