During the Anti-Japanese War, the Nationalist Government was divided, and various forces in the country confronted each other.

In 1942, many members of the Wang puppet government and the Japanese military department were assassinated. Takeda, the head of the secret service, is about to return to Japan as a guilty person, but he is unwilling.

Takeda analyzed the assassination incident and learned that there were old spies and ghosts under the command of Lao Gun in the General Headquarters of Wang's puppet government's anti-bandit headquarters, so he wanted to find out the old ghost and old gun in order to make meritorious contributions.

Takeda devised false information to induce revolutionary organizations to carry out assassination activities in Baicaotang, and placed five relevant staff members in the process of information circulation under house arrest in Qiuzhuang.

They are Bai Xiaonian, adjutant of the commander-in-chief of the anti-bandits, Jin Shenghuo, director of the Military Aircraft Division, Wu Zhiguo, captain of the anti-bandit brigade, Li Ningyu, leader of the translation and telegraph group, and Gu Xiaomeng, translator and telegrapher.

Faced with the interrogation combination of Takeda, the head of the secret service, and Wang Tianxiang, the head of the secret service, the five felt that the situation was serious.

The old ghost wants to pass the information out of the blockaded Qiu Zhuang, stop Takeda's conspiracy, and protect the organization from destruction.

Wang Tianxiang asked the five people about their opinions on the old ghost.

Reveal the identities, backgrounds, personalities, and relationships of the 5 people.

Takeda made the suspicions of the five of them public.

Five people in the restaurant got into a verbal altercation, and the relationship became strained.

Takeda collected the handwriting of 5 people, compared it with the materials of the old ghost, and locked the commander's male pet Bai Xiaonian.

Late at night, Bai Xiaonian was taken away for interrogation. Bai Xiaonian claimed to have been framed, so he was tortured by Wang Tianxiang.

The commander came to hold him accountable, but was cross-examined by Takeda, and in order to prove his innocence, he personally interrogated Bai Xiaonian. The interrogation was fruitless, and the suspicion was pointed at the calligraphy master Jin Shenghuo and Bai Xiaonian.

Takeda interrogated Li Ningyu. threatened with the arrest of her boyfriend Liu Linzong. Li Ningyu's spirit was destroyed, and the interrogation failed to make progress.

At the same time, Wu Zhiguo broke into Gu Xiaomeng's room. Wang Tianxiang learned about Wu Zhiguo's violence against Gu Xiaomeng through the monitor. Afterwards, he came to comfort him and said, "I've been there."

With two days left before Takeda was repatriated, Takeda was desperate to catch the old ghost and the old gun.

Flashback: Takeda is ridiculed by the lieutenant general for his family's weakness at a meeting of the military department, and stabs the lieutenant general in a fit of rage. This is the reason for being repatriated.

Takeda used the members of the underground organization who came to investigate the situation to set up a banquet for the remaining four people, with the purpose of observing their performance.

keenly found that Wu Zhiguo and Gu Xiaomeng deliberately avoided it, so they locked the old ghost among the two!

That night, four people were gathered and threatened with Bai Xiaonian's corpse. Jin Shenghuo couldn't bear the pressure and raised his gun to cut himself.

sent Li Ningyu back to the room, causing Wu Zhiguo and Gu Xiaomeng to be alone in the cell. During the surveillance of Takeda and Wang Tianxiang, Gu Xiaomeng reported Wu Zhiguo again, and Wu Zhiguo was violent to Gu Xiaomeng, intending to kill him.

After rescuing Gu Xiaomeng, Takeda got Wu Zhiguo's cigarettes with electric codes that she picked up at the banquet.

Wang Tianxiang interrogated Wu Zhiguo, who was the most suspect, and went through heavy punishments.

Back in the room, Li Ningyu tricked her old ghost identity from Gu Xiaomeng, and Gu Xiaomeng had a showdown. The two are deeply in love, and Gu Xiaomeng entrusted Li Ningyu to report herself.

Wu Zhiguo's life hung by a thread, Li Ningyu appeared, reported Gu Xiaomeng, and saved the dying Wu Zhiguo. Wu Zhiguo was quickly sent to the hospital for rescue, and on the operating table, humming a shadow puppet play.

Wang Tianxiang's interrogation of Gu Xiaomeng was unsuccessful. Takeda threatened with the lives of his family, Gu Xiaomeng pretended to obey, waited for an opportunity to attack Takeda, and was killed by Wang Tianxiang.

The old ghost is dead, and the old gun has not been found, and Takeda cannot ask for credit.

The commander came to investigate the responsibility of Takeda's private torture, and the two chose to kill Wang Tianxiang for the crime.

Takeda and the commander waited in Hyakkudo, and it seemed that the underground revolutionary organization had received the information and had abandoned the operation.

Takeda waited at the docks to return home and was assassinated. The killer is Wu Zhiguo.

Ending: The Japanese surrendered and the War of Resistance ended.

Wu Zhiguo found Li Ningyu, a textile worker, to tell her the truth, and asked for the cheongsam that Gu Xiaomeng sewed for her.

Flashback: When Wu Zhiguo raped Gu Xiaomeng, he actually secretly revealed the identity of the revolutionary; alone in the prison cell, Wu Zhiguo revealed the identity of the old gun and arranged for Gu Xiaomeng to expose himself in order to protect Gu Xiaomeng; in the hospital, Wu Zhiguo hummed the empty city plan and passed the information to the comrades in the nurses; Gu Xiaomeng had already sewn the information on his underwear and passed it out with the corpse.

Li Ningyu interprets the message on the cheongsam.

Gu Xiaomeng: Whether the message comes out, success or failure is today, I am not afraid of death, what I am afraid of is that those who love me do not know why I died, I left this record in purgatory, I only hope that my family and Sister Yu will forgive me for my decision at this moment, but I firmly believe that you will eventually understand my feelings, my dear people, I am so ruthless to you, just because the nation has reached the point of survival, my generation can only fight to save and in case, my body is about to perish, but the soul will be with you, the enemy will not understand, the old ghost and old gun are not individuals, but a spirit, a kind of faith。

Li Ningyu looked back at Gu Xiaomeng, who was sewing clothes.

End of the movie!

If I want to count the words, it's easy!
