Liu Dacheng ran all the way into the darkness and ran ten kilometers in one breath. Later, he couldn't run anymore, so he sat on a high place to rest.
There were no pursuers behind him. The fire in the distant grain depot was gradually extinguished. Wu Wenkang, Ping Wusheng and others should have retreated safely, because there were no gunshots or explosions in the distance.
Thinking of this, Liu Dacheng ran towards the city with confidence...
At 11:30 in the night, Liu Chengda arrived at Huahong Woolen Mill. Zeng Zhiquan saw that Liu Chengda's clothes were in a mess and there was a lot of mud on his shoes. He already guessed that this young master must be on to something.
Liu Dacheng took a shower at the Huahong Woolen Textile Factory, then had a late-night snack and slept until about nine o'clock the next morning. Then he drove to the Japanese Military Special High School. He wanted to know what happened last night.
Which step.
Kawashima Hideko received the task of solving the case and began to investigate the burning case of the western suburbs grain depot. Liu Dacheng suddenly appeared in her office, which caught her by surprise.
"Master Chengda, why are you here?"
"There was something going on in the factory last night. After I finished it, I had a late-night snack in the factory and then stayed overnight at the woolen mill. There is nothing going on at the office today, so I stopped by to see you."
"You're here just in time. Come with me to the western suburbs grain depot."
"What happened to the Xijiao Grain Depot?"
"We were attacked by Chinese agents last night. I heard that three-quarters of the grain depot was burned down. General Shun Tada asked our Special High School Division to investigate the matter. Masao Yoshida was busy with reception of Prince Nimasa, so this job fell to me.
Take over."
"Thank you for your hard work, Hideko."
"Stop talking nonsense and let's go. Follow me to the western suburbs grain depot to take a look. I heard that the Chinese agents last night were very powerful. They were defended by dozens of people and only one person was left alive, and he was seriously injured."
"who?"
"Chinese people."
"Chinese" is a discriminatory name for Chinese people. Liu Dacheng felt very uncomfortable when he heard it. He could already vaguely feel that there must be some puppet soldiers who were not completely dead!
The Chinese who did not die was Hao Zhengjun, the squad leader of the puppet army. He was in charge of the sentry last night. He was shot in the chest during the melee and was sent to Kangji Hospital for treatment.
Liu Dacheng followed Hideko Kawashima to the Xijiao Grain Depot. The car he had stolen was gone and must have been transported away by the Japanese army. The Xijiao Grain Depot was devastated and in a mess, with burned grain piled up like coke.
With.
Hideko Kawashima took Liu Dacheng around in a circle, introducing the case as she went. The information she learned was what Liu Dacheng knew, and even the scenarios she deduced were pretty much the same.
Standing on the ruins, Kawashima Hideko said: "We have just executed fifty political prisoners, and then this attack on the grain depot happened. What is even more bizarre is that the Chinese agents escaped unscathed! Are these people alive?
Evaporated? Definitely not!”
"Hideko, where do you think the Chinese agents will flee to?"
"Two places. One is to take your positions, submerged in the vast sea of people, waiting for the next opportunity to attack. The other is to enter the northern mountainous area to rest. There is the vast Tianmu Mountain there. Even if we send a hundred thousand troops to go in, it will be like a drop in the ocean. There is no chance at all.
Find ways to find their traces."
There was a hint of alertness in Hideko Kawashima's eyes. Standing side by side with her, Liu Dacheng could clearly feel her inner activities.
She was thinking that if they were to hide in the Shanghai metropolis, they would probably be in the French Concession or the Public Concession. They did not dare to hide in the central area of Shanghai.
Kawashima Hideko suddenly asked: "Taishi, if you were a Chinese agent, what would you do?"
"If I were a Chinese agent, I would hide in various concessions and wait for opportunities to launch bigger attacks."
"Why?"
"Miss Hideko, don't you think about it. General Ying Zuo publicly shot fifty political prisoners at one time. This impact is really too great. With such a huge hatred, will they just let it go? No!"
"You think so too?"
Hideko Kawashima was surprised. Liu Chengda and herself thought of going together.
"Miss Hideko, to be blunt, General Yingzuo hasn't really understood the Chinese yet. This is a very strange nation. When there are no foreign enemies, perhaps they are better at fighting in a den. Once a powerful enemy invades, the more they fight, the more united they become.
, the Vietnam War became more and more fierce. I think the attack on the grain depot and the shooting of political prisoners were connected, because the two incidents were only one day apart. This makes me think that this is a revenge incident by Chinese agents."
Kawashima Hideko looked at Liu Dacheng with admiration, his eyes full of praise. The man he liked was amazing, and his analysis of things was clear and precise. But could he say this to Kage Sasaki?
cannot!
"If it were you, how should you solve this case?"
"Don't we still have a living survivor? We should get more clues from him as soon as possible."
"Jun Dacheng, we want to go together. Let's go to Kangji Hospital!"
Liu Dacheng took the military jeep owned by Hideko Kawashima and drove several kilometers of rural roads through bumpy roads before arriving in the city.
In the special care unit of Kangji Hospital, the only survivor, Hao Zhengjun, was shot in the chest and the bullet has been removed. He is not completely out of danger yet.
Hideko Kawashima sat in front of Hao Zhengjun's hospital bed and asked in Chinese: "Do you know anyone about the attack last night?"
Hao Zhengjun moved his lips, but could not make a sound because of the gunshot wound. Liu Dacheng judged from the shape of his mouth that he knew someone!
This judgment frightened Liu Dacheng. He quickly and quietly activated his "mind reading". The person Hao Zhengjun wanted to talk to was none other than Wang Xin, the leader of the Ninth Operation Team who had attacked Liu Dacheng.
In Hao Zhengjun's mind, Wang Xin is his villager, both from Xiaonangang, a rural area in northern Jiangsu. Their fates are intertwined, and the two have embarked on different paths in life. If Hao Zhengjun had not been on duty at the guard post last night, he would have recognized each other at a glance.
If Wang Xin comes out, then the development of the whole situation will be completely different.
By some mistake, Hao Zhengjun was shot in the chest by Wang Xin. This made Hao Zhengjun have a great hatred for Wang Xin.
Hao Zhengjun has thoughts and can move his mouth, but Hideko Kawashima cannot understand. This gives Liu Dacheng some peace of mind.
If Hao Zhengjun recovers, he can identify Wang Xin. Although Wang Xin's position in the military command station is not important and he is just the leader of an action team, this is a breakthrough.
Hideko Kawashima asked several times in succession, but she could only see Hao Zhengjun's mouth moving but could not hear any sound. This made her crazy.
However, Liu Dacheng knew the whole story with his "mind-reading skills". He said: "Miss Xiuzi, this injured person is probably not able to speak yet. You should ask again in a few days."
Wang Xin could only be anxious. His airflow could not vibrate his vocal cords, and he could not say what he wanted to say. He could only watch Hideko Kawashima leave helplessly.
Liu Dacheng got into the jeep with Hideko Kawashima. Hideko Kawashima's mind was full of regrets. On the surface, she looked a little depressed and kept silent the whole way. Looking carefully, she was thinking in her heart that she didn't know Lian Bu Zhichi was in the French Concession.
How is the progress? It has been almost a month since we sent in twenty agents, but there is no news at all? How do these people work?
Liu Dacheng learned that Hideko Kawashima wanted to find out the hiding place of the military commander's agents through Lian Buzhichi's reconnaissance.
