Harada walked back and forth in the office twice with a solemn expression, and said, "Nishiki-kun, what do you mean, there is a passage in Nanjing City that we don't know about outside the city?!" ”

"Yes!" Westwood answered the road in a categorical way.

Harada then asked, "Nishiki-kun, how do you want me to cooperate with you?!" ”

Nishiki said, "I haven't thought of it yet. However, the most important thing at the moment is to conduct martial law and house-to-house searches throughout the city. Find out the wolf. ”

Harada said, "Nishiki-kun, it's not that I don't support you. If it's usual, I completely agree with you. But not anymore. With that, Harada walked to his desk, picked up the telegram on the table, walked up to Nishiki Zongheng, and handed the telegram to Nishiki Zongheng.

Ximu took the telegram, quickly read the contents of the telegram, and asked with a surprised face: "The headquarters of the Central China Front is going to enter Nanjing City?!" ”

"Yes!" Harada took the telegram back and continued, "The time is just these two days. ”

Ximu said: "If the wolf is not eliminated for a day, we will have one more day of trouble." What if the Celestial Wolf's target is the Commander?! Have you thought about this consequence?! “

Harada Doukasa exhaled deeply and said, "If the target of the Sky Wolf is really the commander. I'm not worried. Even if the Sky Wolf had three heads and six arms, it would be absolutely impossible for him to complete the assassination alone. As soon as Harada's words fell, Nishiki conjured a warhead like a trick and said, "Harada-kun, your father is an expert in weapons in the Empire. You must be familiar with this warhead, right?! ”

Harada glanced at the bullet on Nishiki's hand and said, "The bullet shot from the German-made Mauser rifle?!" ”

Nishiki nodded and said, "To be exact, it should be the warhead from the Mauser 98K sniper rifle." I found this warhead in the ashes of Matsuo Katsui. How Matsuo Katsui died, I guess I won't say, you know. After His Excellency the Commander arrived in Nanjing, it was impossible not to show his face. Don't forget, a 38 caliber pistol in Sarajevo changed history. Do you want to see a 7.92 mm caliber bullet and make us the laughing stock of the whole world?! ”

Harada Doukasa heard Nishiki's words, and suddenly fell silent. After about seven or eight minutes, Harada came back to his senses and said, "Nishiki-kun, I'll give you half a day, if you can't find the wolf before dawn tomorrow, then I will see the order to lift the martial law in the whole city." ”

Nishiki nodded slightly and said, "Thank you Harada-kun for your cooperation!" I will definitely do my best to catch the wolf before dawn tomorrow! With that, Nishiki turned around and left.

Seeing the back of Nishiki leaving, Harada's brows furrowed unconsciously, and a murderous aura flashed through his eyes. Harada then picked up the phone on his desk and ordered martial law to be imposed on the entire city.

When Ximu led the troops to search from house to house, Liu Ren walked into the teahouse. Zhao Qishan, who was greeting the guests, frowned slightly when he saw Liu Ren who suddenly appeared, then smiled and greeted the guests, walked to Liu Ren's side, and said softly: "You come with me!" After that, Zhao Qishan took Liu Ren to avoid the eyes of others and went upstairs.

Walking into a private room, Zhao Qishan closed the door and asked, "Why are you here?!" ”

Liu Ren took out an envelope from the mezzanine of his clothes and said, "This is a letter from the regiment commander and political commissar to you." ”

Zhao Qishan took the letter and immediately opened it and read it: "Comrade Zhao Qishan, after the study of the Communist Youth League and Party Committee, I have decided to give you an arduous task. You cooperated with the Kuomintang to rescue the Soviet Union pilots who had been captured by the Japanese army. Contact time, tomorrow at 12 noon, at Linggu Temple. ......" After reading the content of the letter, Zhao Qishan just wanted to speak, and there was a noise downstairs. Hearing the voice, Zhao Qishan hurriedly put the letter away and said, "I'll go downstairs to see, you go downstairs from the other side." Go to the back kitchen and stay. ”

"Got it! You can rest assured! After that, Liu Ren followed Zhao Qishan out of the box.

Zhao Qishan walked out of the box, stood by the guardrail and glanced down, and saw about two squads of Japanese soldiers standing downstairs. Zhao Qishan tidied up his clothes, ran downstairs quickly, walked to the Japanese warrant officer who led the team with a smile, nodded and said, "Taijun, I am the shopkeeper of this teahouse." If there is anything you can do for Taijun, please ask Taijun to command! ”

The warrant officer glanced at Zhao Qishan and asked, "Have you any suspicious people been here?!" ”

Zhao Qishan replied: "Taijun, all the people who come here are good people!" If you don't believe me, you can let your soldiers search as they please! ”

"Roar!" The warrant officer waved his hand and shouted, "Search! ”

Hearing the order, the Japanese soldiers standing around immediately scattered and searched the teahouse. After about ten minutes, the Japanese soldiers did not notice anything unusual and all returned to the warrant officer. A military officer walked up to the warrant officer and said, "Report! We searched every corner of the place and didn't find any suspicious people. ”

The warrant officer nodded slightly, turned around and shouted, "Get out of the way!" ”

Seeing the devil leave, Zhao Qishan's hanging heart finally let go, and he turned to the guests and said, "Ladies and gentlemen! The little episode just now frightened you. A plate of dim sum per table is a little bit of my heart! Please continue to drink tea and chat and watch the show! ”

Slightly enlivening the atmosphere, Zhao Qishan explained a few words to the guy, and then left the lobby. Liu Ren, who was mixed in the room, saw Zhao Qishan, and immediately put down the things in his hand and walked out of the room. Zhao Qishan said: "Follow me!" With that, Zhao Qishan took Liu Ren and walked to his room.

After three or four minutes, after Zhao Qishan walked into the room with Liu Ren, Zhao Qishan said: "Xiao Liu, now Nanjing City is under martial law. I'm afraid you won't be able to make it either. I think you'll come with me tomorrow morning! ”

Liu Ren said: "Lao Zhao, when I came, the head of the regiment and the political commissar asked me to go with you to connect with the people sent by the Kuomintang. ”

"In that case, I'm relieved!" Saying that, Zhao Qishan took out a book and handed it to Liu Ren, saying, "It's not safe outside now, so you stay in the room and read." With that, Zhao Qishan handed the book to Liu Ren, turned around and walked out of the room.

At the same time, the village where Hong Yu and the others are located.

After eating, the Tang brothers walked to Hong Yu's side, and Tang Xingye asked, "Brother Yu, can that secret passage still be used?!" ”

Hong Yu replied: "That secret passage has been abolished, and it basically can't be used. Saying that, Hong Yu raised his wrist and looked at the time on his watch, and then said, "I want to go back and take a look after dark." ”

Tang Xingshang said: "Brother Yu, this time the devil is not simple. In case the little devil didn't go and laid a net there, didn't you go and throw yourself into the net?! ”

Hong Yu said: "Don't think too smart about the little devil. Even if they set a trap there, it's up to me to see if I can step into it. ”

Tang Xingye asked, "Who are you going to take over at night?!" ”

Hong Yu replied: "It's enough to bring Gao Ming and Gao Mei." ”

Tang Xingye thought for a while and said, "I don't feel at ease if I only take the two of them." Let Xingshang go with you! ”

Hong Yu glanced at Tang Xingshang and said, "Okay! ”

Little by little, the sun gradually set and disappeared below the horizon. Nishiki stood on the castle tower, listening to the sound of the breeze blowing the military flag, and gradually became distracted. At this time, Captain Mimoto Jiro walked behind Nishiki Zongheng with his head down, and said respectfully: "Your Excellency Nakasa, I have searched two-thirds of Nanjing City, and no trace of the Heavenly Wolf has been found, and the troops are still searching. At the current rate, the search could be completed by seven o'clock in the evening. ”

Nishiki came back to his senses and said, "Sanyuan-kun, is there any news from Matsudaira-kun?!" ”

Mimoto Jiro replied, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency Nakasa! There is no new news from Matsudaira at the moment. ”

"Hmm!" Ximu nodded slightly, and said secretly: "There is no wolf in the city, and there is no trace of the wolf outside the city." So where will he be now?! Could it be that he will really go to heaven and earth?! ”

Just when Nishiki Zongheng was worried that he couldn't find Hong Yu, a warrant officer ran to the side of Nishiki Zongheng and saluted: "Your Excellency Nakasa, Matsudaira Shousan Shaoza's letter to you!" ”

Nishiki took the letter, was stunned, and then opened it and read it. After seven or eight minutes, Nishiki read the contents of the letter, hesitated, and stretched out his hand. Mimoto Jiro immediately took out a pen from the pocket of his jacket and handed it to Nishiki.

Nishiki took the pen, wrote the word "agree" in the blank space of the letter, and then signed his order at the back, handed it to Mimoto Jiro along with the pen and letter, and said, "Mimoto-kun, you take the letter and the radio station, and immediately go outside the city to meet Matsudaira Shouzo. ”

"Hey!" Mimoto Jiro answered, put his things away, and turned around and went down the castle tower.

Just after seven o'clock in the evening, it was already dark. The rain that had stopped for a long time began to rain again. Hong Yu took Tang Xingshang, Gao Ming, and Gao Mei to the vicinity of Zhuangzi quietly. Looking at the house close at hand, Gao Ming said softly: "Head, it's so quiet here, I feel panicked?!" ”

Hong Yu picked up the binoculars and said, "It's normal to feel this way!" If my guess is correct, the little devil must be hiding around, waiting for us to show up. As he spoke, Hong Yu fixed the telescope about six or seven hundred meters away from the house. Tang Xingshang saw that Hong Yu suddenly stopped moving, and asked with concern, "Brother Yu, what's wrong with you?!" ”

Hong Yu handed the telescope to Tang Xingshang and said, "Look there!" ”

Tang Xingshang looked at the place where Hong Yu was pointing, and said softly: "Nothing!" ”

Hong Yu said: "Take a closer look! ”

Tang Xingshang looked at it for a while, and just wanted to say no, when suddenly an antenna shaking in the air entered Tang Xingshang's line of sight. Seeing this looming antenna, Tang Xingshang turned his head to Hong Yu and said, "Brother Yu, it won't be the devil's headquarters there, right?!" ”
