The special status of the mountain city during the war has led to the influx of dramatists, filmmakers, and writers.
The gathering of celebrities attracted the actors to follow.
A drama festival was held in the mountain city, major movie stars appeared on the stage, and the performance venues were full.
Movies are also in full bloom. "Defend Our Land", "Hot Blooded Soul", "Eight Hundred Heroes", "Protect Hometown" and "The Good Husband" have all received good responses.
The more famous Shanghai Film Troupe Ten Sisters.
And the "Four Famous Actresses" are four young actresses who are active in mountainous movies and drama stages.
Wait, there are countless performing artists!
Now that the actor is suspected, it is still difficult to launch an investigation.
Li Tairan came back from his thoughts and said: "The actress who went to Juxingcheng Bank will not be very famous."
Zhu Yue and Song Shutang thought this inference was reasonable.
If he is as famous as everyone thinks, wouldn't he be as comfortable as a duck in water? Why would he take the risk of going to the bank to withdraw money, thereby increasing his own risk of exposure?
It can only be said that the value of this actor is not as good as the person being instigated.
Only then can such a choice be made.
But not being famous just makes the investigation more difficult.
There are only a handful of famous ones!
There are too many that are not famous.
Zhu Yue said: "But he is not a supporting role that is completely unnoticed."
Being able to narrow down to this is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Song Shutang then said: "The people in the famous mountain city may not have known about it before. Such a disguise must be because after coming to the mountain city, some works were published and received rave reviews from the audience."
"You mean the dramas and movies that have received good response in Chashan City in recent years?" Zhu Yue asked.
"This girl is not particularly famous, but she is not dispensable either. Excluding works with mediocre response is the final range we can narrow down at the moment."
"What happens next?" Li Tairan asked.
"Secretly obtain the cast list of the work, and after the elimination, we will investigate and collect information on all suspicious persons. At the same time, we may watch movies or dramas next," Song Shutang said.
Only collecting the cast and crew list and information is not enough to make a final judgment.
Watch movies in person, dramas are the safest.
"Of course you can watch movies at any time, and you can go to the theater to watch dramas if they are re-enacted. However, some of the dramas that have been performed have no film records and we cannot see them," Zhu Yue reminded.
"See what you can see first."
"It's a good job to go to the theater at public expense."
"hope so."
Theater is a pastime!
But you have to keep looking.
There is no break in between.
And you have no intention of enjoying the plot, but you have to stare at each actress's role, which is boring and boring.
But in order to investigate the Japanese spies, he had no choice but to make fun of himself.
Zhu Yue immediately stood up and said: "I asked a group of members to go and investigate the dramas and movies that have had a good reputation in Shancheng in recent years. At the same time, I asked them to exclude characters according to the conditions we proposed and collect information about actresses who meet the requirements.
At the same time, we contacted a screening room, borrowed the film reels, and asked the projectionist to show it for us. We will watch the movie first, and then go to the corresponding theater to watch the reenactment. What do you think?"
"Follow the team leader's arrangements."
“Team Leader Zhu’s move is reasonable.”
But after Li Tairan finished speaking, he said, "Should we bring the staff from Juxingcheng Bank with us? After all, he has seen the woman's eyes with his own eyes. Although he was covered up by heavy makeup, he might have discovered something."
"Find a reasonable reason to take him out."
"good."
The Intelligence Section immediately took action.
A group of members went out to investigate and collect information.
Long Hao did not leave together. He wanted to follow Song Shutang and others to watch a movie and identify Japanese spies.
"Smell by a dog's nose?" Zhu Yue joked to Long Hao.
"This movie is boring."
"You want to see it if you are pretending to be a public servant for personal gain?" Li Tairan also joked.
"Team Leader Li shouldn't have come." Long Hao said with a smile.
What does the leader of the second group do after one group of tasks?
"The section chief has been reported to the two groups for joint action," Zhu Yue explained.
It's all a joke and no one takes it seriously.
Soon we left the Information Section together and rushed to the theater to watch the movie that had been prepared.
This time I did not go to the Cathay Cinema. The previous air raid on the Cathay Cinema failed to survive the bombing. It was still being repaired after being bombed.
When they arrived at a smaller cinema, the person in charge took them to a small screening room and arranged for two projectionists to take turns screening movies for everyone.
The first movie played was "Cross Streets".
It is a drama film launched by Star Film Company on April 15, 1937.
It received a good response when it was later released in Shancheng.
The film mainly tells the story of four unemployed college students who leave the hesitant crossroads and move towards the revolutionary era in an era when national and class conflicts are becoming increasingly acute.
But today Song Shutang and others have no intention of enjoying the plot.
Watching videos has a strong purpose.
After the 110-minute film screening ended, Song Shutang had four female characters that fit his suspicions emerged in his mind. After writing them down, he started to screen the second film.
Long Hao also lowered his head and wrote in the dark environment.
He recorded the names of the actresses he suspected in a notebook for future investigation.
The second movie to be screened was "The 800 Heroes".
This film tells the story of the Japanese invasion of Shanghai on August 13, 1937. Commander Xie of the 524th Regiment of the 88th Division of the Kuomintang. In order to contain the Japanese and cover the retreat of the Kuomintang troops, he led young officers known as the Eight Hundred Warriors to defend the Sihang Warehouse. Three months long.
There are fewer female characters in this film, but there are more guest stars. In addition, the story of the Girl Scouts risking their lives to deliver food and medicine to the defenders cannot be ignored.
Li Tairan had watched this movie before, and he was excited at the time. At the end, he and the actors in the movie sang "Song of the Eight Hundred Heroes" together with the audience present that day.
But at this moment, he no longer had any intention of enjoying the plot. His eyes were full of seriousness, trying to detect the Japanese spy.
It took a long time for both movies to end.
The moonlight was already shining outside, and everything was silent.
Zhu Yue asked the staff of Juxingcheng Bank: "Have you found any familiar eyes?"
The bank clerk was so young that his eyes were red after watching "The Eight Hundred Heroes".
He just shook his head when asked and said he didn't find anything.
Wanting to discover something after two movies really depends on luck. Zhu Yue stood up and said: "It's too late to go back and rest tonight. We will continue tomorrow."
"What about me?" the bank clerk asked.
"I am responsible for your food, clothing, housing and transportation these days." Li Tairan took the initiative to take on this task.
The excuse used to remove people from the bank was a business trip.
Naturally, it is inconvenient to go back to my residence these days.
Moreover, this person is crucial to cracking the case. If he is discovered by a Japanese spy and kills someone first to silence him, he will then cut off the clues and should be protected.
The bank staff also knew that the purpose of this moment was to capture a spy. Now that they were excited after watching the movie, they naturally cooperated vigorously and expressed their obedience to all arrangements.
After going out to disperse, Song Shutang and Long Hao returned to Luojiawan together.
On the way, Long Hao looked through the notes in his hand under the moonlight and said, "I currently suspect seven people."
"That's right." There are indeed seven people that Song Shutang has identified in his mind.
"Do you think it's the same as the person you suspected?" Long Hao handed over the note.
Song Shutang took it and looked at it and said: "Same."
Hearing this, Long Hao's face lit up with joy.
Indeed, as he suspected, Long Hao was not attracted by the movie, but was seriously targeting Japanese spies.
Long Hao has a good foundation and has received professional training, so the results are not surprising.
On the contrary, he felt that he was consistent with Song Shutang's suspicion, and was a little happy.
"If the bank staff cannot pinpoint the Japanese spy, the Intelligence Department will face a lot of difficulties in the subsequent investigation." Long Hao couldn't help but think of the previous events in the cultural world.
It can be said to be a lot of trouble.
There is no shortage of concessions in the entertainment industry.
If you target so many actors and they are all women, then public opinion will inevitably spread.
Song Shutang also understood that although the previous 'dilemma' plan had been eliminated, the impact had not been eliminated.
If similar incidents happen again, they will only get worse.
"If we can directly target him, we will have no worries." Song Shutang also wanted to directly target the spy through investigation, instead of suspecting multiple people and then investigating.
"It depends on whether it goes well."
"Are you still staying at my place tonight?" Song Shutang asked, changing the subject.
"No way." The relevant investigations have been completed, and Long Hao feels that he does not need to live there anymore.
"Didn't you mean to protect me and prevent the Central Government from doing evil things to me?"
"I haven't been home all night and I want to check on the situation at home."
"The beauty is hidden in the golden house?" Song Shutang asked with a smile.
"I do think so."
"Then I won't bother you."
"I said no..." Song Shutang did not listen to Long Hao's explanation and had already walked into the intersection where he lived. Long Hao shook his head helplessly and walked towards his residence.
He knew that Song Shutang did it on purpose, who asked him to take on the responsibility of surveillance yesterday.
