"Regiment commander, the New Fifth Army has set up a guest house in the south of the city." The first investigation team leader to come in reported to Shi Lei the information he had obtained.

"There's a guest house in the south of the city? Is it from the New Fifth Army? Did you see it with your own eyes? Shi Lei said three interrogative sentences in a row. This is really surprising, there is a guest house in the city, how can there be a guest house outside the city? What did the New Fifth Army do with two guest houses? How many guests does Sun Dianying have to entertain? Can't live in a guest house? Captain Shi's mind was full of questions.

"I saw it with my own eyes." The leader of the reconnaissance team immediately told the regiment commander that this information was reliable, "There is a sign hanging at the door of the guest house, and there are soldiers of the New Fifth Army guarding the door. Our people tried in the past, and the guest house did not accept ordinary people. Those who came in and out of the gate were dressed in civilian clothes and military uniforms, and they looked very much like guerrillas. I inquired with the local people around the guest house, and it was likely that they were from the workers' and peasants' armed side. ”

"Workers' and peasants' arms?" Shi Lei gasped! Sun Dianying actually has contact with the people over there? That's a big problem! "Go and withdraw all of our people! Don't keep anyone watchful over there! "This kind of thing is too sensitive, and Shi Lei already feels that this investigation is in danger of getting out of control.

"Yes!" The leader of the reconnaissance team agreed, turned around and went out. The regiment commander's face was so solemn, he had to hurry up and convey the order and withdraw the people immediately!

Next, the leaders of the reconnaissance teams went into the private rooms one by one to report the information to Commander Shi, and those who came to the teahouse but did not have their turn to go in to report asked for tea and snacks in the lobby outside, sat down to eat, drink and wait. Now the teahouse shopkeeper is even happier! What kind of business is this merchant doing? How can there be so many customers?

The more customers come, the better, the more people, the more he earns! The shopkeeper simply hung a "temporarily closed" sign at the door, specially to receive the customers of the stone shopkeeper, and no one else was entertained!

The information reported by the investigators is varied, Sun Dianying has several wives and concubines, what are their names; The military headquarters of the New Fifth Army has done something that attracts attention in the county town; where several divisions of the New Fifth Army were stationed; Sun Dianying has been smoking a big cigarette for a long time.

No matter how big or small, the purpose is that as long as the intelligence related to the New Fifth Army and Sun Dianying has been collected. Shi Lei doesn't care whether it's important or not, he wrote it down in a small book when everyone reported it. This is not only an affirmation of the work of the investigators, but also ensures that no information that may be important is missed.

It wasn't until it was almost dark, and the scouts who were sitting in the teahouse drinking tea and eating snacks were almost finished, and when the shopkeeper of the teahouse began to wipe the table and sweep the floor to prepare for closing, another topper came in at the door.

"Yo, it's closed? Shopkeeper, are you closed here? The shopkeeper didn't stop when he asked the shopkeeper, and he stepped in two steps.

"Hey, you, you know it's closed and you still come in?" The shopkeeper was a little dissatisfied, "My teahouse has been chartered, and today I only accept customers of the shopkeeper Shi." If you come to talk to the shopkeeper about business, please come into the private room, if not, then I'm sorry, please go back, and come back tomorrow. ”

There were also two investigators sitting in the lobby, these two were two of the five people in the group with Shi Lei, and there was a Shi Lei sitting in the private room, and there were two people on guard outside the teahouse. came to the territory of the New Fifth Army to conduct reconnaissance, and Regiment Commander Shi acted quite cautiously.

"This is also a customer of our shopkeeper, and he came to talk to the shopkeeper Shi about business." The scout in the lobby promptly explained for the one who came in.

"Yo, it turns out that this is also a guest, hehe, complain about my clumsiness, then hurry up and invite inside, the private room is over there." Hey, just knock on that door. When the shopkeeper saw that all the people who had come had knocked on the door before entering, he reminded the newcomer that he had to knock on the door before entering.

"Dangdang!"

"Come in."

The investigator pushed the door into the private room, and Shi Lei pointed with his hand and motioned for him to sit down and speak. There are teapots, tea bowls, fruit plates, and snacks on the table, and this one is not polite when he comes in, grabbing the tea bowl and drinking the water in the teacup with a tilt of his neck, wiping the corners of his mouth and starting to report today's discovery.

"There is a guest house of the New Fifth Army in Yangjiawan in the north of the city." This was the first thing the investigator described. Shi Lei was not surprised now, his face was calm as usual, as if he had heard that the tea here was very thirst-quenching.

"There was a sign at the door of the guest house, and there were soldiers guarding the door outside the gate. When I asked, his guest house didn't accept ordinary people. I thought, the guest house is run by the army, and since it does not receive ordinary people, it must be specially designed to entertain officers and men of the New Fifth Army. Since people don't want to see us, let's go. The scout poured another cup of tea and took a sip.

"After walking out a few dozen steps, I casually glanced back again, and just happened to see a person coming out of the guest house, not tall, a little fat, with a pinch of sanitary mustache on his upper lip, and as soon as he came out of the door, he bowed to the person who saw him off behind, as if he was saying something politely. I sensed that the guards at the door were watching me, so I hurried away. But I remember that place, it's in Yangjiawan in the north of the city! ”

"Yangjiawan, guest house, health Hu. Can you still find a place? After getting an affirmative reply from his subordinates, Shi Lei lightly slapped the table, "Tonight, let's go to investigate the Yangjiawan Guest House overnight!" "The New Fifth Army has set up several guest houses in different places, which has aroused Shi Lei's suspicions, and now I have heard that there are suspected Japanese guests in one of the guest houses.

"Yes!" The scout should get up.

The moon appeared and disappeared in the clouds, and a few cold stars in the distant sky showed tenaciously in the distance. Although it was not a dark and windy night, the visibility of this cloudy night was also not high, so Shi Lei and his scouts hid in the shadows more than a hundred meters away from the Yangjiawan Guest House, quietly observing the door.

There was an electric light in front of the guest house, and the four soldiers of the New Fifth Army standing guard under the lamp were smoking cigarettes and chatting, passing the boredom in the night. Apart from the four soldiers standing guard, there was not even a single pedestrian at the gate.

One minute, two minutes, ten minutes, an hour, two hours. Time is slower than a snail crawls. During the lurking process, you can't smoke, you can't move casually, you can't even speak, your eyes are staring at the light at the entrance of the guest house, and you don't dare to slack off in the slightest, for fear that some important person will come in or go out in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately, Shi Lei didn't come alone this time, in order to monitor this guest house, the commander of the reconnaissance regiment transferred ten groups of scouts in one go! The scouts take turns on duty, and those who are not on duty seize the time to rest to ensure that they are energetic when carrying out their tasks.

"Click, click!" After a few sounds, the four goalkeepers who were still lazy just now suddenly cheered up and stood up, and there was movement!
