While gunfire rang out on Kangnao Tuo Road, two things happened almost at the same time in Shanghai.
The Americans Baker and his wife were imprisoned at the same time, but they still maintained a certain degree of freedom.
Mrs. Stephanie Baker was allowed to go out for a period of time every day, accompanied by an agent to buy some daily necessities.
Mr. Cronin Baker will also go to the neighborhood to do some necessary exercises under the supervision of two agents.
After all, the American couple were actually pawns.
A pawn used by Japan to bargain with the US government.
Moreover, they were living in a distant place in Shanghai and had no way of escaping alone.
The Bakers know this too.
So they never did anything drastic.
Over time, people's laziness comes out.
Especially when you repeat the same thing every day, you tend to become lax.
This morning, after breakfast, the Bakers exchanged glances with each other.
Just two days ago, the Italian Falti, who always came to visit them, quietly told them something.
It's today!
They are about to start their escape!
After breakfast, like every other day, they kissed.
Then Mrs. Baker went out.
Mr. Baker also went out for exercise.
Mrs. Baker went to the same store she had always gone to to buy what she thought she needed.
Just as she started to select the goods, she suddenly let out a scream.
She clutched her thigh and was in agony.
"Something bit me."
she cried out in pain in English.
The agent who accompanied her knew some English and quickly asked: "Something bit her."
"Oh, it's not Centipede" right? "
The shop owner hurriedly said: "The tide has returned in the past two days, and there are a lot of these things. Yesterday, a customer was bitten. Wife, wife."
The shopkeeper's wife hurriedly came out.
The shop owner pointed at Mrs. Baker and said, "Take her in quickly and apply some cooling ointment on her, otherwise she won't be able to recover for a month."
It bites on the thigh area, which is a woman's vagina, and it is difficult for agents to follow.
This store is so big and has been here for several years.
The agent didn't care, lit a cigarette, found a stool, sat down and waited.
"Old man, where is the cooling ointment? You old fool, you used it yesterday and misplaced it?"
Inside, the shopkeeper's wife could be heard scolding.
"Hey, isn't it in the drawer on the side?"
"You old thing, where are you?"
"You haven't taken off your clothes, have you?"
"Nope."
"I'll come, I'll come."
The shopkeeper took out half a pack of cigarettes and threw it to the agent: "I'll get you another cup of tea."
…
Mr. Cronin Baker likes to exercise in a small park nearby.
Since the Japanese occupied the concession, no one has taken care of this small park, so it is a bit dirty.
But there are many Chinese people here every day.
Mr. Baker's exercise consists of running several laps around a fixed area.
All are within the surveillance range of the two agents.
Every time during this time, the two agents would smoke a few cigarettes, stare at Mr. Baker, and chat to pass the time.
"Down with Japanese imperialism!"
Suddenly, a loud roar sounded in the park.
Then, a large amount of flyers spilled out.
Suddenly, the park became lively.
A large group of people "boomed" and rushed here to watch the excitement.
The sight of the two agents was instantly blocked.
…
Fanyuan.
A rapid knock on the door broke the tranquility here.
As soon as the concierge opened the door, he saw a dozen police officers standing outside.
The leading policeman was also recognized by the concierge. He was Sergeant Jian Jianwen.
"Chief Jian, what are you doing?"
"Arrests!"
Jian Jianwen said with a straight face.
"Arrests?"
Before the concierge could react, Jian Jianwen waved his hand: "Arrest everyone in the Zhang family. Anyone who resists will be shot to death!"
The police rushed in fiercely.
Outside Fanyuan, there are people watching every day.
But as the Japanese gradually lowered their guard against the old man, the spies were just like monks beating the clock.
Every day it was routine to come here and have a look, and then drink and have fun.
When it was time to get off work, I came over again to make sure nothing was wrong, and then I went back.
At this time, there was no one around.
But today, it was a coincidence that a secret agent lost an American lighter he had just obtained. He suspected that it had fallen here and turned back to find his own lighter.
When I saw so many policemen there, I was startled and hurriedly came up to ask what was going on.
"Arrests!"
Jian Jianwen flashed an arrest warrant in front of the spy: "See clearly."
It's really an arrest warrant.
The agent was a little confused: "How many people have been arrested?"
"Catch them all!"
"All? Hey, what happened to the Zhang family?"
The agent was confused. The bad thing was that he said something else: "I have to ask."
"Ask? Who are you asking?"
Jian Jianwen sneered: "This person is an accomplice of the Zhang family, let's take him to the prison cell together!"
These policemen are usually fed up with the anger of these agents. Now that the detective has spoken, what else are they thinking about?
With a "boom", they swarmed forward and, regardless of the agent's struggling and shouting, they handcuffed him directly and threw him into the police car.
At this time, people from the Zhang family, led by Zhang Qishan, walked out of Fan Yuan.
Their eyes met with Jian Jianwen's, and neither of them spoke.
When leaving Fan Yuan, Zhang Qishan took one last look back.
After leaving, when can we come back?
"Hurry up, don't waste time!"
Jian Jianwen screamed fiercely.
…
Three trucks stopped at the designated spot.
On it, there is the mark of Sakurakan.
The car was personally escorted by Kawakubo Makoto.
According to Hisamura's instructions, Kawakubo had the car placed here.
The pass stayed in the cab.
Then, his mission was accomplished.
Kawakubo is really excited that he can help Mr. Fimura do these things.
When His Excellency Feicun comes back from Nanjing, it will be time for him to become famous.
Despite the sacrifice of my daughter, it was all worth it.
Watching the Japanese leave, Li Zhifeng and Su Junwen led people to the truck.
Li Zhifeng jumped on the first car and looked at the time: "Hurry up, there are still fifteen minutes!"
…
Dozens of people from the Zhang family, big and small, were spread out on three trucks.
Li Zhifeng handed a box to Jian Jianwen: "Where are the family members?"
"They're all waiting at the dock."
"The boss asked me to thank you."
"You're welcome, they're all Chinese!"
"Get in the car and let's go!"
…
Where are people?
Why haven't you come out after waiting for a long time?
The agents waiting outside became impatient and called several times inside.
But it was quiet and there was no response at all.
The agent stood up and walked in.
Where are the people!
It was empty inside, including the shop owner, his wife and Mrs. Baker were all missing!
"Something happened, something happened!"
The agent's face suddenly turned pale, he took out his whistle and started blowing it like crazy! (To be continued)
