Li Nan said beside him: "These girls go to work in the Japanese Concession east of Gongchen Bridge. The entire Japanese Concession is a street of flowers! They are all people who do this!"
Wu Jiancheng looked at her and was so surprised that he couldn't speak.

In the past few days, Wu Jiancheng and Li Nan were just like a newly married couple. They would get tired of lying on the bed every night, tossing and turning like they were wrestling. They would not do it until midnight and were sweating profusely.
It will end!
During the day, they were like close friends, wandering back and forth in the Japanese Concession.
Except for those few roads in the concession, the rest are extremely narrow alleys.
The situation in the alleys is even more surprising. Wu Jiancheng has observed that there are all kinds of extremely narrow shops, crowded together like lice. As long as two people enter the same shop, they will
I can't turn around!
Japanese men and women wearing kimonos, flip-flops and pointy straw hats were like ants walking back and forth in these alleys. When they saw someone they knew, they would exaggerately stand up, lean back, and raise one hand to say hello.
What should be noted in particular is that most of these small shops are the so-called "five shops", which are cigarette, prostitute, liquor, motorcycle, and gambling shops. There are not many other department stores, restaurants, and hotels.
So some people say that the dirtiest place in Hangzhou is the Japanese Concession!
But then again, in such a crowded and dilapidated Japanese concession, it would be even harder for Wu Jiancheng to find the mother and daughter in the photo than to find a needle in a haystack!
Only then did Wu Jiancheng realize that Li Nan, an arrogant and powerful woman, was not an ordinary smart person!
She looked at the photo again and again, and suddenly said: "This big girl should be in school, right?"
Wu Jiancheng didn't understand for a moment, so he blinked and asked, "What do you mean?"
Li Nan said: "Let's go to the school and look for it! There are only four or five primary schools in the Japanese Concession. Let's keep an eye on them one by one!"

In the afternoon, Wu Jiancheng and Li Nan found a Japanese elementary school in the concession.
They were like two young people in love, standing near the school gate, quietly staring at the children who came to school.
When they looked at it casually, they couldn't help but twist their mouths. Those Japanese girls all wore uniforms and had short hair cut to the ears. They all looked exactly the same! Everyone looked like the girls in the photo!
Li Nan quietly stared at the small photo in his heart again and again, and finally pointed at it and said: "Look at the corner of this big kid's mouth. Is there a mole? It's not very clear. You have to squint to see."
Wu Jiancheng squinted and stared at the eldest daughter in the photo again and again. After a blurry look, it seemed that there was indeed a mole. But when he looked at it more carefully, he couldn't see it. The photo was a bit small and blurry.
.
He thought for a while and had no choice but to say: "Let's just look for the mole on the face. Otherwise, what should we do?"
At this time, Li Nan smiled again and said: "There is another way. Although it is very slow, if you do it at the same time, you may find something!"
How Wu Jiancheng looks at her now, how much he likes her. His two eyes, which were originally quite big, will narrow into a smile as soon as they fall on Li Nan's face.
He smiled and said: "My Tuan Tuan, no matter what your idea is, just say it!"
Li Nan suddenly laughed, hit him and said, "This is my elementary school nickname, how do you know it?"
Wu Jiancheng became even happier and said proudly: "I don't know, I just like it! I just like the way you look chubby! You are all chubby all over your body. I really like it."
"Really, brother, you won't lie to me?" She looked at him seriously.
"I'm lying to you, I'm just a dog! I really like it! Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about it when we go back tonight! I'm actually looking forward to the evening! Tell me what you think!"
Li Nan looked at him with a smile. After a while, he said softly: "Brother, look, this is a single-parent family, one mother and two daughters. Is this characteristic very clear?"
The smile on Wu Jiancheng's face quietly disappeared, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
"I understand what you mean! Let's follow a child to her home to see who is in her family! As long as she meets the conditions of a mother and two daughters, she may be the person we are looking for!"
"Yes, that's how you search! But it's also very slow! You have to think clearly!"
"No matter how slow you are, you still have a clue, right? I don't have a clue right now, so I have to use any method!"
In the days that followed, Wu Jiancheng and Li Nan changed their search strategies. The first was to look for a girl with a mole on her mouth. The second was to follow her home regardless of whether she had a mole on her face to see if she had any moles at home.
who!
This method is really slow! There are four or five primary schools in the Japanese Concession, and there are many female students!
Wu Jiancheng and Li Nan hid around the school every day, quietly observing until mid-June, but they still couldn't find the mother and daughter! They almost wondered whether the mother and daughter were still in Hangzhou! They might have returned long ago.
Japan!

June 21, 1940. Chongqing, in the small living room of Bai Chongxi Mansion.
Since the tape incident occurred, this was not the first time that He Yingqin, Bai Chongxi, Xu Yongchang and Liu Fei, the four military giants, had a secret meeting in the Bai family's small living room.
Today is an exception. Another person has been added, Zhang Bingzhou, deputy director of the First Department of the Military Command Department.
Needless to say, today’s situation is rather special!
One of the special circumstances is that they just received a telegram today from Leng Xin, deputy commander-in-chief of the Second Guerrilla Zone in Southern Jiangsu.
Recently, under the planning of several senior officials in the Military Command Department, Leng Xin has been leading his 46th Division and 63rd Division to encircle and attack the First and Second Detachments of the New Fourth Army led by Chen Yiyi.
The telegram said that two days ago, four regiments under the command of Su Yu launched a counterattack against our unit, which caused great losses to our unit. At present, Chen Yiyi, the main force of the first and second detachments led by Su Yu, has left the Maoshan base area and attacked northward.
Moving forward, we are now approaching Yangzhong, and we seem to be planning to cross the Yangtze River and head north!
It was this meaning of "crossing the river to the north" that made the four senior executives very surprised and anxious.
Once Chen Yiyi and Su Yu's New Fourth Army in southern Jiangsu cross the river and reach northern Jiangsu, the situation in northern Jiangsu will change dramatically! The fourth column of the Eighth Route Army in Shandong in the north is penetrating south! Once the Eighth Route Army in the north and the New Fourth Army in the south are connected, northern Jiangsu will almost
It will become the world dominated by the Communist Party of China!
He Yingqin said softly: "Jiansheng, the advancing column of the New Fourth Army, the Jiangsu-Anhui detachment, has arrived north of the Yangtze River. Once the New Fourth Army in the south of the Yangtze River crosses the river, their strength will be even greater! What do you think we should do?"
Bai Chongxi looked at the map, looked at it again and again, and had to say: "There is no other way! First, order Leng Xin to continue to hold Chen Yiyi and Su Yu from Jiangnan and prevent him from crossing the river! Second, ask Han Deqin from Northern Jiangsu to come early
Be prepared! If Chen Yiyi crosses the river, concentrate the main force and use all your strength to destroy it!"
This matter is over when the discussion ends here. What comes next is the second special situation!
At this time, Liu Fei glanced at the other officers, then turned back to Zhang Bingzhou and said, "Brother Bingzhou, please tell me."
Zhang Bingzhou had no expression on his face. He looked at the officers in front of him and said calmly: "Okay, I will introduce what I know to the officers. My adjutant Li Moqiao has very strong mobility.
Recently, he has been quietly investigating the audio tape case. He said that he learned from various aspects that the person who stole the tape may be a Japanese spy!"
Bai Chongxi pounded the table angrily and muttered in a low voice: "What a bastard! Okay, go on!"
Zhang Bingzhou said softly: "On April 25, a group of three Japanese spies sneaked into Chongqing and prepared to take away the tape, but they were discovered by people from the military command operation brigade. The final result was that two of the three spies were killed and one was injured.
.But the injured agent was a stubborn guy. After several interrogations by the military commander, this guy said nothing! Another thing, the deputy captain of the military commander's action brigade once fought with the Japanese spy who stole the tape. However, unfortunately,
The deputy captain later died for his country while performing a mission in Nanchang. This is a situation I just learned about recently."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at the officers in front of him.
But the several officers, all of whom had been trained in the officialdom for many years, were all expressionless and motionless, looking at him.
Zhang Bingzhou also had an expressionless face. But he knew in his heart that the officers must have understood! The deputy captain named Han was dead! At least for the time being, their danger was eliminated!
Liu Fei said: "This means that this tape theft case cannot be solved for the time being!"
Zhang Bingzhou said softly: "Yes, it's a pity."
Liu Fei asked again: "What's the situation over there with the Air Force Special Service Group?"
Zhang Bingzhou said calmly and calmly: "They also work very hard. But in terms of business capabilities, they are not as good as the military commanders. They really work hard. Maybe they will make some discoveries. Nothing can be said right now."
Liu Fei immediately said: "What a pity!" He couldn't help but shake his head, as if this case could not be solved, which was really a pity.
At this time, He Yingqin said: "If we can't solve the case for a while, there is nothing we can do! Let's study the matter in front of us! Brother Jiansheng (Bai Chongxi), please tell me."
Bai Chongxi took a document from the desk behind him and said: "This is a document that was just received recently. It was personally sent to the Military Commission by Zhou and Ye from the Communist Party of China. Several of them have also read it. The question now is
,what should we do!"
Several officers did not speak, but lowered their heads to think about this matter!
They have all seen the document sent by Zhou from the Communist Party of China. The document is called "Proposal of the Communist Party of China on Solving the Current Crisis and Strengthening Unity in the War of Resistance" (known in history as the "June Proposal").
Its main contents are: (1) Implement the freedom of assembly, association, speech, and publication of the people as stipulated in the program of the Anti-Japanese War and Nation-building, and explicitly protect the legal status of all anti-Japanese parties; (2) Implement the Anti-Japanese War and Nation-building in guerrilla zones and enemy-occupied areas
Guide and assist the people's armed forces as stipulated in the program, and launch widespread guerrilla warfare; (3) explicitly designated Yan'an and other 23 counties as the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region and organized the border region government; expanded the Eighth Route Army into three armies and nine divisions, and added
The New Fourth Army has seven detachments, stipulates the Eighth Route Army's combat areas, etc.
