However, as soon as Xiao Ancheng walked into the south room, he heard the sound of the door opening and closing outside the window, as well as voices and footsteps.
How did he know that Luo Jiang and Peng Shaoyong went out to search for Gong Binsheng but failed and had just returned.
Xiao Ancheng knows that it is impossible to escape now! There is movement outside, and everyone may wake up and hear his movement! The only thing he can do now is to hide!
He quickly returned to the restaurant. The missing piece of floorboard on the ceiling could no longer be covered up. Anyone who came in would see it. He could only hide it on the spot!
He quietly opened the doors to the outside and quickly returned to the kitchen.
There was almost no place to hide in the kitchen! He reluctantly huddled himself between two sacks of rice, put some empty sacks on his head, and waited motionless!

Ma Yuanbiao, who drove Luo Jiang back, saw that Luo Jiang and Peng Shaoyong had said a few words and was ready to take a rest, so he began to check upstairs and downstairs. This is something he does every day.
As soon as he entered the small room where Xiao Ancheng was imprisoned and saw the floor pried open, he knew that Xiao Ancheng had absconded!
He hurriedly notified Luo Jiang. Soon, everyone was called up and searched the two buildings in front and behind.
They used flashlights to search inside and outside the Shikumen house. Some people also went into the kitchen to take a look. But there was really no place to hide people in the kitchen, so they went out.
Only ten minutes later, the entire building and courtyard were searched, and nothing was found!
Ma Yuanbiao had no choice but to report to Luo Jiang that Xiao Ancheng pried open the floor, ran out through the restaurant downstairs, and then climbed over the wall to escape. He might have already been outside at this time!
At this time, Luo Jiang asked him to go to Chen Zifeng's group to see if Xiao Ancheng had returned to the group!
As a result, Ma Yuanbiao came back and reported to Luo Jiang that Chen Zifeng's group was in such a quarrel over Xiao Ancheng's censorship that they almost started fighting! Xiao Ancheng did not return to the group!
Luo Jiang was very angry, but there was nothing he could do. After all, Xiao Ancheng was also a trained agent, and he was very familiar with things like escaping from prison.
He thought of the few words Xiao Ancheng asked him that morning and guessed that he must be frightened by the punishment in the future, so he absconded!
Damn it! Gong Binsheng just wants to find out! How could I punish him so harshly! This Xiao Ancheng is so unsmart! He was scared away! What a bastard!
He told Ma Yuanbiao to go out and look for him after dawn, "Damn it, we must find him!"

Xiao Ancheng huddled between the two sacks, not daring to move, and listened carefully to the movements outside.
It wasn't until about five o'clock in the morning, when it was almost dawn, that he judged that everyone was asleep, and then quietly got out. This time, he did climb over the wall and ran away!
Xiao Ancheng escaped from the Shikumen house on Jiale Road and walked in the still dark and boundless streets. He didn't know where he should go. According to his agent instinct, he knew that all the places he could go could not
Go! You must not go!
Finally, he walked through the entire Nanshi and arrived at Shiliupu Pier. He huddled against the wall of the waiting room and slept.
In fact, he couldn't sleep at all. The passengers in the waiting room were like a tide. With the sound of whistles, one group of people left noisily, and another group of people came noisily. Everyone was shouting.
.
The cries of vendors could be heard one after another. The whole waiting room was in a mess until dawn!
Occasionally, he also noticed a few pairs of feet stopping beside him. When he squinted his eyes, he could see that they were a few thieves who seemed to want to dig into his pockets.
When the thieves saw him open his eyes, they had no choice but to walk away angrily.

At around eight o'clock in the morning, Xiao Ancheng, who was half asleep, finally sat up and looked around with a tired face.
Fatigue was one aspect, but the most important thing was that he felt hungry.
At this time, the issue of survival came to his mind along with the feeling of hunger.
He only had more than two yuan in his pocket. He put it in his pocket the day before yesterday when he went to buy a Chinese-Japanese dictionary. Fortunately, Lao Long gave him an old dictionary, otherwise, he might not have a penny at all!
He wandered outside the pier like a wandering spirit and had the simplest breakfast. Three pieces of glutinous rice cake, a bowl of porridge, and free pickles. Just like that, it cost him thirty-five cents! But he didn't feel full!
The two dollars he had on him could only last him two days at most!
He felt that just supporting it for two days seemed not enough! He had to support it for a few more days!
As long as Chen Zifeng grows a brain, my brain will not grow in vain! But the key is that he must support it for a few more days!

It was with this idea in mind that after Xiao Ancheng left the waiting room of Shiliupu Wharf, he started wandering on the street like an idler with nothing to do.
He understands that he must wander now! Even keep wandering!
During this day, at least on the surface, he was wandering aimlessly!
His clothes, which were originally clean, had rolled on the dirt floor of the waiting room and become dirty.
When he got up in the morning, he didn't wash his face or brush his teeth. He looked tired and his hair was messy. To put it nicely, he had become homeless at this time! To put it harshly, he was close to becoming a beggar.
!
This morning's aimless wandering finally led him to Changbai Street.
Far away, he saw Lao Long's "Yixiang" electrical appliance repair shop. The door was open, indicating that Lao Long was still in business.
He had to be cautious and couldn't look around. He started scratching his body and then grabbed the small piece of paper in his hand.
When he passed by the "Yixiang" repair shop, he threw the small note into the door.
Now, he can only pray that Lao Long can find this small note in time, let alone sweep it away as trash.
Although he was worried about doing this well, it still made him feel more relaxed.
However, this also made him worry again. He had not fully thought about the contents of the small note! To put it bluntly, what was written on it were just a few clues, at best, it was a framework!
So, who can understand these clues and see this framework clearly? He felt that maybe no one could see it! Because he didn't see it himself! Those clues were still tumbling in his heart like ocean waves.
When he thought of this, he felt even more worried!

At noon, he had to have lunch! It was cold in winter and he got hungry quickly!
He didn't dare to ask for a big bowl of Yangchun noodles with vegetables, which cost 15 cents. After thinking about it, he decided to order a set of flatbreads with fried dough sticks, which cost 12 cents. The money in his pocket was rapidly decreasing!
He's still not full!
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, he found that he had wandered into the Nanshi Police Station!
The Nanshi Police Station in front of us is basically the same as before. The most different thing is that there is a Japanese sun flag flying on the roof. There is no doubt that the Japanese have controlled the Shanghai police system!
He thought for a moment and decided to ask for help.
He walked to the door and said to the policeman guarding the door: "Excuse me, please find Officer Li Mingkui. I have something to do with him."
The policeman at the gate was not surprised by his situation. Almost all policemen had their own informants. Some informants were beggars, beggars, and some even dirtier than the one in front of him. He went to
A phone call was made inside.
After a few minutes, Li Mingkui walked out. When he saw Xiao Ancheng, he couldn't help but be shocked!
He looked up and down and said, "Brother Xiao, what's going on with you? Do you have a mission?"
Xiao Ancheng said hurriedly: "Brother, let me tell you, I have a mission. When I went out, I didn't bring enough money, and I couldn't go back. Did you bring any money in your pocket?"
Li Mingkui really thought he was on a mission in disguise. He rummaged through all his pockets, but only found two dollars.
He was very embarrassed and said: "Brother Xiao, I didn't bring any money today, only this."
Xiao Ancheng didn't dare to care about it and said, "I'll definitely have enough for a meal. I'll pay you back later."
He put the two dollars into his pocket, raised his chin toward the precinct, and asked, "How are you now?"
Li Mingkui sighed, "Hey, don't mention it, I'm almost dead now! No matter what you do, you have to ask the Japanese for instructions! Brothers can't do anything anymore! Chief Gui Ke is gone. It's such a good thing for him to go!"
How much less angry you will be!"
Xiao Ancheng asked casually: "Is Director Luan okay?"
Li Mingkui sighed, "It's so good! Director Luan has lost a lot of weight! He is so angry with that little devil every day! He is being trained like his third grandson! I don't think he can work for long."
Xiao Ancheng looked at him in surprise, "What's going on?"
Li Mingkui said: "You don't know, there is a small team of Japs stationed in the branch! That team leader is simply a devil! He doesn't like anything and scolds Director Luan to death every day! I see, Director Luan also
I can’t bear it anymore!”
Xiao Ancheng suddenly thought of a question, how did Takahashi and Kawakami know that Takaji Naoki was imprisoned here?
He asked in a low voice: "Among the brothers, are there some who are trying to get in and out?"
Li Mingkui curled his lips, "That's right! There is a guy named Jia Hongji. I really couldn't see what he had before! Now! He is a celebrity in front of the Japanese! He shows off his power all day long! This guy may have hooked up a long time ago.
Japanese!"
Xiao Ancheng smiled at him and said, "If he goes too far, we will definitely not let him go!"
Li Mingkui looked around carefully and whispered: "Brother, that's the best!"
Xiao Ancheng finally bid farewell to Li Mingkui and continued to wander the streets.

This morning, the brothers in Chen Zifeng's group had breakfast and quietly went out according to Qiao Yanfang's arrangement.
In the first group, Chen Zifeng took two brothers to look for the guy named Sasaki near the Japanese Army's Shanghai Expedition Headquarters. This guy actually disappeared for two consecutive days! It's really suspicious!
Qiao Yanfang glared at him and said, "I believe someone must have tipped him off! Be careful and don't be fooled by others!"
Of course Chen Zifeng understood the reason. He nodded and said nothing.
