Lin Yi stood in the darkness behind the window, his pistol loaded.
Finally, I saw the light on the inner window of a room in the distance shaking three times in a row. Someone deliberately blocked the light.
Then, shake it regularly three times again.
It was clear to her that the action had begun.
Immediately afterwards, footsteps sounded on the street, and a group of figures ran into the alley.
Then, house-to-house searches began, and the sound was that of the police searching for suspects overnight.
"I'm a member of the detective team. Even your mother-in-law police officer dares to attack me. I want you." There was a muffled sound of fists and eye sockets coming from the opposite room, and then no more sound came out.
After a while, a dark figure slipped out from the opposite door.
The same sound came from the nearby rooms on the left and right.
Curfew time is almost up.
Lin Yi carefully checked the things in the room, then went to the next door and blew out the lights.
Her figure walked firmly into the darkness, and took the shell gun from a shadow that had been waiting there. Now, she is going to face her battle...
Hu Yi brought Li Huanzhang, who had changed into black clothes, to the gate of the restaurant.
Li Huanzhang walked directly in and shouted to the hall on the first floor: "Everyone in the room, listen to me, the curfew time is up. If you don't want to cause trouble, get out of here."
A few people who were almost drunk were being helped to leave. When they passed the door, they saw Hu Yi, who was dressed as a detective team. They quickly smiled and handed the cigarettes.
Hu Yi didn't answer or stop him.
Seeing this friendly reminder so late at night, everyone eating could not help but secretly sigh that the shopkeeper has a good backer.
Those who went out didn't pay attention to the unfamiliar faces of the two people. They had to quickly avoid the patrolling police team and go home early.
The customers swarmed towards the counter, and the shopkeeper was surrounded by the sudden checkout crowd.
I was extremely busy settling accounts and collecting money.
After the hall on the first floor was almost empty, he finally looked up.
Looking at the two detective team members standing at the door, probably performing official duties, I suddenly realized that they didn't seem to recognize either one of them.
He thought to himself: Captain Huang of the detective team seems to be bullying the newcomers again.
Those on duty at New Year's Eve are either new or not well-liked.
The shopkeeper had been busy all day, and thought he could finally take a break.
The shopkeeper, who was well versed in human relations, did not dare to be careless. He quickly picked up two oil-paper bags that had been prepared long ago from the counter, walked to Li Huanzhang and handed them over: "Brother, thank you for your hard work!"
The shopkeeper finished delivering a large batch of beef and walked to the door, intending to hand the remaining oil paper bag to Hu Yi.
Suddenly, he saw a small figure and a middle-aged woman standing in the cold wind behind Hu Yi.
There seemed to be many black shadows in the darkness behind the two of them.
The shopkeeper didn't understand what was going on in this scene. Could it be that the detective team carrying out the mission was also dragging his family with him? What does it mean to have so many people coming?
Just as he was about to ask, there was a sound of stools falling to the ground and hitting the floor.
There seemed to be countless footsteps.
The shopkeeper frowned and turned back. There was the door leading to the kitchen. He ordered the waiter who was leaning against the wall: "Goudan, go upstairs and see if the princes are ready to leave after eating. Take good care of them!"
However, he suddenly found that the temporary waiter did not move, and seemed to be still looking at him sympathetically.
A big hand suddenly reached out from behind him and covered his mouth. Immediately, a cold feeling came from his lower back. The coldness penetrated into his body and seemed to come out from the front again.
What a strange feeling.
Looking down, there was a silver light with red lines shining coldly in front of his abdomen.
The detective team member in front of him suddenly drew his pistol and left the restaurant.
Hu Yi came to the girl and the middle-aged woman: "Girl, you go into the hall and guard the stairs to the second floor."
He had to go back to the street to prevent anyone from jumping out of the window and escaping.
Goudan ran from the stairs to the backyard. He also wanted to guard against the Japanese jumping out of the window from behind.
The air immediately tightened.
Hu Yi had no intention of going up to the second floor. If the secret service team couldn't deal with the drunken Japs, he would have to run south because he had to cooperate with the student team outside the city to capture the east gate of the county.
This was very different from the plan, so I had to let the girl guard the stairs!
Hu Yi chose to believe the middle-aged woman holding a shell gun next to the girl.
There began to be heard from upstairs, plates falling to the floor and loud shouting, mixed with a constant stream of strange yelping noises.
Li Huanzhang, who came to Hu Yi's side, asked: "When will we attack the city gate?"
Hu Yi stood on the street without answering, staring closely at the changing shadows on the second floor window.
The shell gun was held in his hand, and the cold wind passed through his fingers.
Bang, a stool flew out of the window, and the night was immediately torn apart by the light emanating from the window.
The stool hit the street, right next to Hu Yishen.
Hu Yixin immediately tensed up.
A figure quickly appeared by the window, chirping like a bird and roaring loudly. Hu Yi raised his hand. When the trigger stroke was about to reach the critical point, the figure who was roaring like a bird was dragged back.
In the back door window, someone also kept smashing holes one after another. The movement attracted the attention of the security forces on the city wall 200 meters away.
A security guard poked his head out of the room above the city wall, pricking up his ears and listening suspiciously to the strange sounds coming from the distance.
He quickly turned back and reported the situation to the squad leader who was warming himself by the fire.
A group of security forces began to hang up their equipment and carry guns, preparing to go to the city wall near the restaurant to see the situation.
Tables, stools and floors were constantly smashed together. Thinking about it, there was a dull collision between the human body and the floor. The crisp sound of broken cups and plates was rapid and violent. The endless stream of strange screams kept coming to an abrupt end. , meaty butt, constantly performed on the second floor.
As the number of holes in the windows continued to increase, the intensity seemed to gradually ease, and the sounds from upstairs gradually became less and quieter.
Hu Yi stood in the cold wind, staring at the holes one after another upstairs. So far, no body had fallen from the window.
The fierce fighting sounds must have attracted the attention of nearby residents. Some people looked over and saw the light coming from the restaurant covering the detective team members holding pistols on the street, and quickly turned their heads back.
Hu Yi stood steadily on the street. He knew that there were definitely many peeping eyes behind him.
With many years of experience, the common people are absolutely afraid of the detective team. As long as he and Li Huanzhang stand here, no one will go to report the traitors. After all, the detective team is here.
The cold wind kept getting into the lobby on the first floor through the gaps in the doors and windows, and swirled up to the second floor.
The girl's hand was sore when she held up the oar with big eyes. The sky was shaking upstairs, but now there is no movement at all on the first floor.
Except for the corpse of the restaurant manager whose blood had solidified from the cold.
Time passed very quickly, no more than ten minutes at most, and the movement upstairs suddenly became much quieter.
The sound of footsteps finally came from the stairs, accompanied by rapid breathing.
"Goudan, hurry up and bring me the machete from the kitchen." He didn't go downstairs. After he finished speaking, he turned around and turned back.
The girl turned her head and looked at Section Chief Lin next to her.
Section Chief Lin looked at the girl a little nervously: "You go to the back to look for Goudan, and I'll go upstairs to take a look."
Most of the tables in the hall on the second floor have been turned into wooden pieces. A group of common people eating opened their mouths, huddled in a ball and shivered in the corner of the room.
More than twenty figures were rummaging through the corpses on the ground.
Liu Manhe looked at Section Chief Lin and smiled proudly: "Hey, they're all dead, not a single one is left!"
There were no shots fired, and the scene was controlled almost perfectly.
Lin Yi suppressed the excitement in his heart. According to the plan, he would cut off the heads of these devils now.
Because the Japanese have a tradition of bringing the corpses or ashes of those killed in battle back home, it is said that this way the souls can return to the shrine.
Of course, the devil's head has other uses.
Not long after, footsteps came from the stairs.
The little girl struggled to carry a basket of knives of various styles found in the kitchen, thumped upstairs, and tiptoed among the corpses.
The basket was thrown in front of Liu Manhe with a clang.
Liu Manhe tilted his head and signaled the soldiers next to him to take action.
On the city wall far from the back door.
The security patrol team that had just arrived near the restaurant along the city wall stopped and looked at the hole in the window of the restaurant not far away.
A patrolling security force muttered: "Squad leader, the restaurant was smashed again?"
The squad leader didn't care: "It's probably because the princes drank too much and went crazy. It's not the first time."
"Why is there no movement now? Should we go take a look?"
"Have a look? What a good idea. Now go down from the city gate and go to the restaurant to find out." The monitor said sarcastically.
"Hehe, I won't go. Last time Niu Er went to see the excitement of the imperial army, he had eight big teeth knocked out, and now he can't even talk."
"Then you mother, you still bring this up, are you out of your mind?" the monitor scolded.
"There's such a big commotion in the middle of the night, and we don't know anything about it. If the superiors ask, wouldn't it be hard to explain?"
"Then why don't you just ask?" Most of the time he would be scolded, so the squad leader made a suggestion regarding the question.
"That's right." After the security guard finished speaking, he bit the bullet and shouted at the hole in the back window of the restaurant that had just been repaired a short time ago: "Hey, the people over there heard you making such a big noise in the middle of the night. Is there anything wrong?"
"I'm fucking your mother. The imperial army is drinking and enjoying themselves. It's none of your mother's business. Get out of here." A figure leaned out of the hole and cursed at the security forces on the city wall.
The foresighted security forces on the city wall couldn't help but cover their mouths and sneer at the talkative idiot.
Writing the scene from the side has a unique flavor.
