While the detective captain slipped away during the day and feasted on his woman in his arms, his Japanese boss, Masao Kojima, commanded the Japanese plainclothes team of the secret service to operate nervously.

They had just secretly executed seven "human prisoners" and were preparing to display their bodies in public.

The so-called criminals are all young men who were arrested during the previous stage of the city's search for the murderers who attacked the city hall maintenance ceremony, and they either expressed a certain amount of dissatisfaction and non-cooperation when they were searched, or they were close to military characteristics in appearance. However, after several severe tortures, the possibility of committing the crime was ruled out.

Kojima Masao wanted to order the release of these seven men, but on second thought, the anti-Japanese elements made such a big fuss in the city, but the Imperial Army carried out a city-wide manhunt with great fanfare, and found nothing, which would inevitably cause a bad reaction among the citizens and greatly encourage the arrogance of the anti-Japanese elements (now it seems to be the Blue Coat Society of the Kuomintang). Therefore, it is necessary to come up with a few scapegoats to hide from the world, and those seven suspects are undoubtedly the most suitable candidates.

Seven young men, covered in bruises, lost their lives in a daze. The head of the secret service ordered the maintenance committee to draw up a letter to the citizens and post it on the main streets of the city, saying that the Imperial Army had captured the real culprit of the attack on the city hall, and all the people were punished and their bodies were exposed. At the public demonstration location, Masao Kojima chose the small square in front of the train station.

Sure enough, as soon as the body was hung out, it attracted many onlookers from the public. Kojima Masao knew that except for one outsider, the rest of these five people were residents of the city, and he was worried that their families and acquaintances would question and even disagree with the trouble after finding out, so he specially ordered that the heads and faces of the five people be covered with cloth pockets, and hung on several telephone poles in the small square in front of the station, which were four or five feet high from the ground, and soldiers from the Otsuka Wing were also sent nearby to be fully armed.

The notices posted everywhere, coupled with the word of mouth in the market, quickly set off waves in Wencheng. The owners of No. 1 Courtyard of Yangliu Lane in the north of the city also learned the news almost immediately.

The first reaction of the female major of the military commander to this was that the Japanese were bluffing, and it was not even ruled out that they were deliberately releasing a false message in order to confuse and paralyze the real opponent.

However, when she personally drove to the small square in front of the railway station and saw with her own eyes the seven corpses hanging from the telephone poles, her anger suddenly surged all over her body - at this moment, no one knows and grasps the truth better than her, the murderous and shameless Japanese are undoubtedly killing innocents indiscriminately and replacing the attackers with ordinary people!

Back at No. 1 Courtyard of Yangliu Lane, Wang Suihua suppressed her resentment and tried her best to tell her subordinates calmly about everything she had witnessed. Zhao Mutou was the first to jump up and scolded the Japanese for being despicable and shameless:

"Fucking Japanese shit! Lao Tzu is the real god who shoots in the city hall, the little devil has the ability to rush Lao Tzu, what the fuck is it to bully the common people! Seven lives! ”

Li Yan and the soldiers of the other two spy companies also began to shout and curse one after another. The female major of the military commander first looked at them for a moment, and then said coldly: You might as well shout louder and go directly to the brigade headquarters and wing headquarters of the Japanese.

This time, everyone was silent, and the only sound in the room was the sound of snoring and panting. Seeing that everyone was shut up, Wang Suihua continued:

"The Japanese, who are clearly playing scoundrels, know very well that this will not be exposed to the citizens, and even if we know that it is fake, there is no way to publicly stand up and refute it-"

"- How can there be no way? They can put up notices, but we can't?! Li Yan snorted angrily and interrupted the female boss's words.

Wang Suihua couldn't help but be stunned, Li Yan's idea was not impossible.

"Yes, Major Wang!" The spy company commander also picked up the conversation excitedly: "The devils have a lot of manpower, and there are many notices posted, although we have few people, but how many can be posted!" As long as the common people see it, they will pass on the word to each other. ”

"I'll write the notice, and I can definitely handle the calligraphy." It was the elder of the radio station who spoke, Liu, although he did not shout with Li Yan and Zhao Mutou just now, but his anger was also the same.

The female major of the military commander glanced at the resolute faces of these subordinates, and nodded slowly: "Okay, we will also give the Japanese a notice in return, without being verbose, we will write down the fact that these robbers killed innocents indiscriminately, so that the citizens of Wencheng can see the face of the invaders clearly!" It's enough to write a few, they post it during the day, and we post it at night. ”

Li Yan patted Zhao Mutou next to him on the shoulder, saying that after posting the notice at night, the two of them would go to Baoyuan Restaurant during the day tomorrow to spread the content of the notice among diners; Bao Yuan Restaurant can be called the news center of the whole city, and it will soon spread these contents in all directions.

Wang Suihua was a little worried, and arranged for them to go to Baoyuan Restaurant, with the intention that they would meet the white shopkeeper with a strange identity, if the news on the notice was spread again, would it seem that the target was too obvious?

Li Yan immediately said that there was no problem: the restaurant was originally a place for drinking and chatting, and meeting Bai Baoyuan also carried a certain risk, if the other party intended to collaborate with the enemy and betray him, it would not change because he spread one more piece of news. What's more, he himself was convinced that Bai Baoyuan would not dare to make a mistake.

Wang Suihua immediately orally drafted the content of the notice:

The Japanese invaders were unable to arrest the anti-Japanese forces, but they indiscriminately killed seven innocent impostors. The War of Resistance will be won, and the Japanese will be defeated!

Lao Liu deliberately went to a scholar's shop in the south of the city, bought calligraphy, paper, pen and ink, and wrote four notices according to the instructions of the female major of the military commander after returning. That night, Li Yan, Zhao Mutou, and two soldiers of the special service company went to several prosperous locations in the center of the city and quietly posted the notices.

At noon the next day, Li Yan swaggered into the Baoyuan Restaurant. Not long after he sat down, Zhao Mutou and a spy company of subordinates also walked in and chose a seat separated from Li Yan by a table.

When the meal was busy, Bai Baoyuan was in the private room upstairs, so he didn't know that Li Yan was downstairs at first, until a guy who ran the hall came up to spread the word, saying that Manager Li of Fuhua Trading Company was sitting on the first floor and invited the shopkeeper to have a drink.

Bai Baoyuan was slightly taken aback in his heart, he was wary of Li Yan and the beautiful female manager behind Li Yan, all kinds of signs showed that the origin of this group of people from a trading company was too strange, and they were entangled with several anti-Japanese incidents that happened in Wencheng.

However, the Japanese caught the anti-Japanese elements who attacked the city hall and put them to the public in front of the train station just after being executed; At this time, the appearance of this Manager Li means that their gang has nothing to do with anti-Japanese activities?

"Manager Li, you are here, you are not welcome!"

Bai Baoyuan, who began to greet him from afar, did not put down his fist posture until he walked to Li Yan's side, and he had already understood at a glance the wine and dishes ordered by the other party, three meat and one vegetable, all of which were the signature dishes of the store, and there was a pot of Fenjiu.

"Shopkeeper Bai, I've been thinking about these few foods in your store, and I can smell the fragrance of lama meat in my dreams." Li Yanxi, who stood up from his seat to greet him, smiled and looked like a gluttonous guest: "How about it, if you can go upstairs, the white shopkeeper's face will accompany his brother to drink two cups?" ”

Bai Baoyuan's face was embarrassed: "This, Brother Li, upstairs is really inseparable from people, otherwise, I will toast my brother first, and you will drink it here steadily, I will finish working for a while, and then come down to have fun with you?" ”

Li Yan pretended to be angry, grabbed one of Bai Baoyuan's arms, and forcibly pressed him to the chair opposite him: "I said Bai Shopkeeper, you have already earned a lot of money in this restaurant, and this is still a while?" I don't believe it, if you don't have to guard the upstairs, you can still pay for food and drink! While pressing down Bai Baoyuan, he beckoned the guy who ran to the hall, took a pot of Fenjiu, and added two cold dishes for wine.

Bai Baoyuan was helpless, so he had to smile bitterly and said: "Brother, you think that my restaurant makes money, in fact, the little bit of hard-earned silver we earn, where can it be compared with your big business from Taiyuan?" It's so funny. ”

While talking and laughing, Li Yan had already filled the wine cup in front of Bai Baoyuan with shiny Fen wine, and he also filled a cup, raised it and said: "Bai Shopkeeper, in the future, the wine and dinner of Fuhua Company will be set here for you, although our company is not big, but there are many friends who come and go from the south to the north." I hope that the white shopkeeper can take more care! ”

Bai Baoyuan held a wine glass in his hand, but his mind recalled what Li Yan had just said: There are a lot of friends who come and go from the south to the north - this seems to be something in the words, could it be for himself?

After killing this cup of wine, Bai Baoyuan grabbed the wine jug and poured wine for Li Yan, and at the same time pretended to ask casually: "These days, your business must be thriving, and your manager Wang has made a lot of money again, right?" After speaking, he put down the wine jug and raised his eyes to look at Li Yan opposite. Unexpectedly, when I looked at it, I found that Li Yan's eyes were also staring at him intently, and the expression on his face seemed to be smiling.

"Shopkeeper Bai, if you want to make money in Wencheng, how can you be without the help of you, a dragon and tiger character? Our Fuhua manager Wang, after all, is still a woman, and to do business in this troubled world, you must rely on a capable backer! It's rare that the white shopkeeper is still concerned about our Manager Wang, this glass of wine, I salute you for her! ”

When he said this, Li Yan's eyes were always staring at the other party's eyes, Rao is Bai Baoyuan was well-informed, and he couldn't help but feel a little hairy in his heart at this moment. He became more and more convinced that today's Manager Li was not good!
