The next morning, Leng Yue took the two brothers beside her and went to Xiao Shizi's small hotel again.
The first step was to go to the guest room that the tape thief had rented.
She checked the residence registration at the counter and found it quickly according to the registration time!
It was in this guest room that she made a new discovery. The large bag that Qiang Hu discovered the grocery buyer carried when he got off the ship was still in the guest room! But the person who stole the tape did not leave any traces!
In addition to clothing and supplies, the bag also contained a pistol and several loaded magazines.
She also found a small notebook. The notebook was all in Japanese. She was going to take the time to ask someone who knew Japanese to read it.
In this notebook, there is also a photo. In the photo, a young woman wearing a Japanese kimono is holding a little girl of about two years old in her arms. There is also a little girl of seven or eight years old standing beside her. They are
Smiling and looking into the camera.
There are words on the photo: August of the 13th year of Showa, Hangzhou.
Leng Yue thought for a moment, that was 1939. Are the people in the photo the wife and daughter of the vegetable buyer? The photo was taken in August last year. Are the mother and daughter still in Hangzhou?
She was thinking about how to find out whether the vegetable buyer's wife and daughter were still in Hangzhou, and if they were there, whether she could use them!
Leng Yue kept these things in her bag and handed them to the brothers around her.
She inspected the entire room again, making sure nothing was missing, and then left the room.

Arriving at the counter downstairs, Leng Yue shook the room key in her hand and looked at the clerk at the counter with a smile.
"Sir, were you on duty last evening?" she asked.
"Yes, yes, I'm on duty." The clerk said with a smile.
"So, you also saw the shooting and fighting here last night?"
"Yes, yes. Oh, it was really scary at the time, and the gunfire was so fierce! Later, two people fought, and they were also beaten very fiercely! Oops, there was a lot of blood on the ground!
"The clerk's face was full of excitement and horror.
"So, is one of the people fighting someone who lives in this room? Think about it carefully!"
Leng Yue shook the room key in her hand, with a smile on her face, but her eyes were as cold as a cone!
The clerk was also startled when he saw Leng Yue's increasingly stern expression. Bragging and arrogance would not lead to trouble. But bragging to the officers investigating the case would lead to trouble!
"Oh, young lady, this, this, I can't say. I can't see it clearly."
"So, according to the hotel registration, this person checked in at one o'clock yesterday afternoon, and you should be on duty. Do you still have an impression of him? Think about what he looks like, and just give him a brief description."
The clerk first rolled his eyes and looked at the roof, as if there were writing on the roof. Then he scratched his scalp, as if to make his brain spin. Finally, he turned to Leng Yue with a silly smile on his face and looked at
she.
But within a moment, the smile on his face froze, and his eyes showed a look of horror! It was as if he had seen a ghost!
Leng Yue stared at him. Suddenly she realized that the clerk was looking behind her!
She took a step forward in an instant, turned back quickly, and at the same time reached out and drew her gun!
But at this moment, there was a deafening gunshot behind her!
From the corner of her eye, she would see the clerk who had been shot in the forehead and was falling backwards! She turned behind her instantly, and saw a figure quickly dodging away, quickly rushing out of the small hotel, and flying into the distance!
Leng Yue and the two brothers chased him out!
There were many people on the street. When they heard the gunfire, everyone ran and shouted, it was chaos!
But the man was moving left and right in the crowd, running very fast, and was about to disappear! A brother fired anyway!
The escaping man suddenly opened his arms and fell to the ground!
Leng Yue rushed over, looked down, and felt a little disappointed! The shot was extremely accurate, hitting the back of his head! The guy was still twitching, but she knew at a glance that this person would not survive!

Leng Yue quickly called the team's truck and took the deceased to the morgue of the Central Hospital.
Qiang Hu and several brothers searched the deceased carefully and found a boat ticket in his pocket!
Leng Yue understood at a glance that this person was one of the three-person team that had just arrived in Chongqing yesterday! Now, two of the three-person team were killed and one was injured. The injured one was captured alive! If you want to send the tape out of Chongqing, you must send someone from outside.
Come!
Thinking of this, she looked up at Qiang Hu.
Qiang Hu saw what she meant, and couldn't help but curled his lips and shook his head, "I interrogated him all night last night, and the guy who bought the vegetables didn't say a word! Now I don't even know his name! I'm going to let him take care of him for a few days.
Retrial! I don’t dare to kill him!”
Leng Yue nodded and said nothing. But she handed the photo to Qiang Hu, "I wonder if they are his wife and children. Let's see if it can be used during the retrial!"
Qiang Hu looked at the small photo in his hand, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll try it later!"

It was also that night that Li Moqiao, who had just recovered from the shock, sat motionless in his dormitory.
He was most worried about two people. One was a clerk in a small hotel! He had seen himself and might be able to describe his appearance! The clerk had been beaten to death! But the person who went to assassinate him was also killed!
The other one was Han Jindong! He had fought face to face with Han Jindong! However, it was already dark at that time, and he was not sure whether Han Jindong could still recognize him! Maybe, in the chaotic situation at that time, Han Jindong might not be able to recognize him either!
But he has no other choice now! He can only wait as calmly as possible! Now two of Kitahara Sosuke's three people are dead and one is injured! Kitahara is also arrested, will he speak? If he speaks, he will only die!
But Kitahara was his childhood friend. Kitahara was four years older than him. When he was a boy, Kitahara took him with him and did many troublesome and evil things together! If Kitahara was caught, even if he was beaten, he would stare and say nothing.
!
Li Moqiao thought again and again and still believed that Beiyuan would not speak!
After that, he thought, I am the godfather of Beiyuan's two daughters! From now on, Beiyuan's wife and daughter are my responsibility! I must find a way to take care of them!
Thinking of this, he moved out of the radio station and sent a report to Captain Gaoqiao in Shanghai.
"The Kitahara group crashed, two dead and one injured! Kitahara fell into the hands of the enemy! It has been three days, I believe he will not speak!" This is the first thing he wants to say!
"Kitahara is a very tenacious agent and will never speak!" Takahashi's reply was also firm.
This answer made Li Moqiao firmer in his thoughts.
"Bei Yuan's wife and daughter are in Hangzhou. Could you please ask the chief to take care of them?"
"I will take care of you. You have to complete the task and keep the tapes!" Takahashi said in the call back.
"If we send someone here again, we need a reliable method. They are very strict at the dock! If they can't be sent in, I may have the opportunity to go out on patrol with the commander. I'll contact you then! The tape is extremely important! Also, can the Navy people use it?"
Li Moqiao added this sentence at the end of the message!
"No! Be cautious and lurk! Wait for the opportunity!" This was Takahashi's last answer to Li Moqiao!
For Li Moqiao, he can only wait cautiously now! That tape is so important!

Shanghai, Inoue Mansion.
Takahashi sat in his small separate office, reading the telegram sent to him by Nozawa.
He couldn't say why, but he was a little uneasy about the matter in front of him. He knew that Beihara was a very tenacious agent and would never speak easily! But he was just a little uneasy!
All he knows now is that the tape is extremely important and is kept in the hands of Nozawa Morihiro! But Nozawa's safety is tied to Kitahara Sosuke! If Kitahara opens his mouth, both Nozawa and the tape will disappear! This is obvious!
But whether Kitahara would speak or not was a very fragile thread, hanging extremely unreliably! At this time, he thought of Kitahara's wife and daughter! Maybe Nozawa also thought of this, so he
Final words of advice!
At this time, Yingji came in from outside and looked at him, as if to see if there was anything wrong with him.
So Takahashi handed him the telegram and said, "What do you think about this matter?"
After reading the telegram, Takashi smiled and said: "Nozawa seems to be thinking about Kitahara's wife and daughter. He doesn't have any ideas, right? I heard that Kitahara's wife is very beautiful, that kind of..." He stopped, cautiously
Look at Takahashi.
Takahashi looked at him with a smile, "What did you think of?"
Takashi squinted his eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "Aren't you a little worried? About Beihara and his wife?"
Takahashi nodded, "I'm still a little worried! How about you deal with this matter?"
Tingji read the telegram in his hand again and said, "Okay, let me see how to deal with it."
When Takashi left the office, Takahashi was staring at his back with a faint smile on his face. He believed that with Takashi's wisdom, he would definitely handle this matter!

Chongqing.
Now, not to mention the military command's action brigade, even the Central Command and the Gendarmerie knew that the tapes had not been sent away!
Japanese spies once sent people to retrieve them, but they were all killed by Han Jindong of the Operation Brigade! One injured person was also caught by them! So the tapes are still in Chongqing!
What they can do now is to continue to closely monitor and search people entering and leaving Chongqing! No one will be missed!
However, this kind of surveillance and search lasted for a whole month, but they found nothing!
The only thing they can be sure of is that the extremely important tape is still in Chongqing!
They can only be more strict now! Finding such an important tape may make them a great achievement!

Chongqing, Hongya Cave.
Han Jindong's injury is getting better. He and Leng Yue watched Qiang Hu's interrogation of the grocery store together!
This guy is simply a stubborn person who refuses to speak or say a word! Qiang Hu is not polite when interrogating him! Every interrogation will result in a severe beating! The guy is almost beaten to death, but he still doesn't speak!
