Things went back three hours ago, December 12, at seven o'clock in the evening, at the Imperial Hotel.

Takeo Imai was in the banquet hall downstairs, and after eating the welcome banquet that Ozaki had set for him, he went upstairs half-awake and half-drunk and came to the fifth floor.

Takeo Imai arranged to live in 512, and when he walked to the door of room 512, suddenly, Takeo Imai shivered.

Takeo Imai was alert, and immediately grabbed the attendant who was about to enter room 511: "You live here." I'll go to you. ”

The attendant immediately took the key to room 512, opened the door, and entered the room.

A minute after the attendant entered the house, a scream came from inside, and it was the voice of the attendant.

Takeo Imai knew something was wrong, turned around and ran towards the staircase.

At this time, Takeo Imai's bodyguards also rushed out, and five people also rushed out of room 512, which was the five people from the Central Special Branch, and they shot at the bodyguards who rushed over.

After a burst of gunfire, Takeo Imai's protectors all lay down.

At this time, Takeo Imai had already run to the top of the stairs and was about to go downstairs.

The captain immediately opened fire on Takeo Imai, and the bullet hit Takeo Imai.

Takeo Imai screamed and rolled down the stairs.

When the Tekko personnel were about to rush over and continue the pursuit of Takeo Imai, dozens of Japanese soldiers with guns rushed down from the sixth floor, and they opened fire as they ran, building makeshift positions as they fired, and advancing towards the Tekko.

Two of Teko's five men were wounded and forced back to room 512.

"Captain, you go quickly and tell your superiors about the situation." A team member said.

"That's right! There must be something wrong with this, someone must have betrayed us. ”

"Correct! Otherwise, how could there be hundreds of ambushes upstairs. ”

The four members of the Tek team pushed the captain to the window and told him to hurry away.

Of the five men, only the captain had the kung fu to climb up to the top of the building from this wall.

The captain also knew that he had to go back and report to the organization alone, and only he could go out, so he saluted the four with tears in his eyes: "Brother! In the next life, we will fight side by side together! ”

The four of them saluted a military salute and said, "In the next life, we will be brothers and comrades-in-arms!" ”

After saying that, the four of them returned to the door to stop the Japanese who wanted to rush in.

The captain climbed to the roof of the building like a gecko, and jumped from the roof to the building next door to the hotel.

In just a few minutes, the captain jumped three buildings in a row and broke out of the Japanese ground blockade.

Of the four Tek soldiers in room 512, three had been killed by bullets fired from outside the broken door.

The last Tekko fighter was already running out of bullets in his gun.

A Japanese soldier Nakasa came over and said, "As long as you surrender to the Imperial Army, you will not die!" ”

"Do you want honest people to surrender to you vicious dogs? Dream on! I am a Chinese man, and a Chinese man will never bow his head! ”

After saying that, the Teko warrior pulled a grenade bundle of four grenades tied together, and in the horror of all the Japanese in the room, he pulled the grenade.

The grenade went off! The hero is gone! But the sound of the grenade shook the sky above the pearl.

The Japanese soldiers in the house were killed and wounded even more.

The captain, who had already left the Imperial Hotel five hundred meters away, suddenly squatted down and cried bitterly.

The comrades-in-arms who have been with each other day and night for a year have been separated by yin and yang since then.

After crying for a while, the captain stood up, glanced in the direction of the Imperial Hotel, said goodbye to his comrades, and then ran to the place where he had agreed to meet the person in charge of Mingzhu.

Half an hour later, the central telegram was sent to Zhou Lin.

The central message clearly stated: the plan is leaked! The leaked party is in the pearl!

This reminded Zhou Lin of what Xiao Lin said: Guan Jun handed over three lines to Yamada.

Chongqing and Yan'an have dark lines for managing the army, so what about the pearl?

With these thoughts and thoughts, Zhou Lin came to the Imperial Hotel.

Xiao Lin was waiting for him at the door, and without Xiao Lin's leadership, he would not have been able to enter the Imperial Hotel.

On the stairs leading to the fifth floor, Zhou Lin saw a lot of bloodstains.

He looked at Kobayashi and asked about the situation.

"Takeo Imai was attacked by armed men of the Chinese Communist Party. He was shot three times in the body, and he fell from the fifth floor, and he was seriously injured and is being rescued in the hospital. Kobayashi whispered.

Zhou Lin pretended to be surprised: "It's too bold!" Dare to attack the imperial army Dazuo. ”

Xiao Lin didn't speak again, and led Zhou Lin up.

When he reached the fifth floor, Zhou Lin found that there was blood on the walls, and the battle scene was fierce.

In room 512, Zhou Lin met Yamada and Ozaki.

"How do you feel?" Yamada asked Zhou Lin, who was looking around.

"There's a fierce battle here!" Zhou Lin replied.

At this time, there were only blood stains in the room, and there were no corpses, indicating that it had been cleaned.

But the bloodstains everywhere show that it was not one or two people who were killed or injured.

"Two days ago, you, Xiaolin and Hanama had dinner together?" Yamada asked.

Zhou Lin immediately replied: "Yes! There were a few people there. Tanaka-kun is also there. ”

"What are you talking about at the dinner table?" Ozaki asked.

"What can we talk about together? Not yet. Zhou Lin said.

"Do you know about Takeo Imai coming to Pearl?" Yamada asked.

Zhou Lin said in astonishment: "What kind of character am I, how can I know about Takeo Imai, no one told me!" These situations were told to me by Kobayashi-kun when I was going up the stairs just now. ”

"Did Hanama say that he was going to carry out a mission?"

"It seems to have been said, but he didn't say anything. Since it is a task, then we avoid asking without asking. I'm still aware of this confidentiality. ”

"When did you go back?" Yamada stared at Zhou Lin and asked.

"After leaving the restaurant, we went back."

The reason why Zhou Lin dared to say this was because the security forces outside the wharf had been withdrawn, and there was no sentry post at the entrance of the wharf.

That day, when he and Xiangjun came back, because it was past nine o'clock, everyone at the dock was asleep, and no one knew when Zhou Lin went home.

And when he entered the dock, he searched the dock, and no one was outside.

At this time, Yamada waved his hand, and a Japanese military police officer walked in with the hotel manager.

"Is that him?" Yamada pointed to Zhou Lin and asked the manager of the hotel.

As soon as the hotel manager looked at Zhou Lin, he immediately said, "It's not Director Zhou, if it's Director Zhou, can I still know it?" ”

Yamada said, "People can be disguised. Director Zhou will be disguised. ”

The manager shook his head: "People can wear makeup, but their height can't wear makeup, and the Zhongzuo who came that day was about ten meters taller than Director Zhou." ”

Yamada asked sharply, "Are you sure he is ten centimeters taller than Director Zhou?" ”

The manager hurriedly said, "Sure!" He stood up and when I saw him off, we walked side by side, and he was a few centimeters taller than me. And I'm a few centimeters taller than Director Zhou. ”

As he spoke, he stood over and compared with Zhou Lin, and sure enough, he was a few centimeters taller than Zhou Lin.

Zhou Lin got angry and pushed the manager: "What nonsense are you talking about?" Praise you for being taller than me, don't you? ”

Xiao Lin smiled and said, "Is he already taller than you!" Don't be unconvinced. ”
