The second floor of the restaurant.
More than twenty black figures broke free from the ropes and helped each other climb up the carpet-like stairs to the first floor.
In troubled times, there is no shortage of bold people. The leader led the discussion for a while.
After a while of rummaging through boxes and cabinets, everyone finally left the restaurant and disappeared into the darkness.
No one noticed that the blood seeping down from the cracks in the floor slab on the second floor was frozen into ice as soon as it seeped out from the cracks in the ceiling of the first floor hall where straw mats were hung, and more liquid seeped down. , and finally slowly turned into an ice shuttle.
The people who can come to Dadexing to eat are naturally not ordinary people. With so many princes dying in the restaurant, who wouldn’t know that the situation is far more serious than imagined!
After being tied up upstairs, some brave people saw those who climbed over the city wall and left. No one dared to stay in the restaurant, and there were not many people in this world who were fools.
The result of the simple negotiation: escape!
Considering the discomfort of wet pants, most people hurried home to clean up. Now there was no other option but to drag their families and climb the city wall overnight to leave the county. If they stayed, they would definitely wait for death.
As for reporting a crime to the police? Forget it.
Even if the princes knew that Eighth Route Army had done this, no one at the dinner party felt that they could escape from such a big incident.
If we really wait until dawn, the list of people eating here will definitely appear at the Japanese Military Police Headquarters.
With the Japanese's cruel and easy-to-kill character, those wolf-like Japanese will inevitably be used to vent their anger.
And all this was caused by those Tubalu who killed the Taijun with a thousand swords!
Everyone couldn't help but hate the Eighth Route Army.
In a certain courtyard, quilts covered the windows, and under dim lights, a dozen people gathered together.
The middle-aged man selling wontons said: "Captain Hu, you'd better climb over the city wall and leave the county now before the Japanese discover the situation in the restaurant!"
Hu Yi shook his head: "I must get rid of the two traitors who have seen us."
The middle-aged man's expression changed: "Why? As long as you leave here, you don't have to worry about anything else."
Hu Yi looked calm: "This is related to the safety of an important intelligence personnel."
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment: "Captain Hu, are you talking about the two traitors from the detective team in charge of inspection at the east gate?"
Hu Yi nodded: "Yes, my ID is real. They have seen my ID. This is related to a person's safety."
Li Youcai never expected that something would be related to him nearly a thousand miles away.
Hu Yi felt that Su Qing had finally developed Li Youcai into an insider and should not have died in his own hands.
All of this happened because of himself. If those two traitors could remember their names, they would definitely be able to trace the clues and trace them to Li Youcai.
Facing this operation, for the Japanese, it was definitely an earth-shattering shock.
The middle-aged man pondered for a while: "I don't want to ask for more information, but I set up a stall at the East City Gate every day. I know the residence of the two traitors who finally entered the city with you."
Hu Yi looked at the middle-aged man calmly: "Tell me the location of their home and arrange for someone to lead the way."
The middle-aged man shook his head: "There is no time. If these Japs who are eating at the Dadexing Restaurant do not return to camp at twelve o'clock, sooner or later the military police will come to the restaurant to check. You can't stay in the city now. I'll let you I will send you away first, and I will arrange the rest."
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he made a gesture of wiping his neck.
At night in the county town, nothing changed because of what happened at Dadexing Restaurant.
In the darkness, the two traders who had saved their lives had no intention of leaving.
With luck in mind, I planned to find Tang Bei, who was in the detective team, during the night and ask him to help me figure out a solution.
The two of them got up and down, and when they arrived at the cousin's yard, they found the door ajar.
The two looked at each other and were overjoyed: there was no need to knock on the door and waste time.
It was their brother's yard. The two of them gently opened the door, and with a creaking sound, they quietly walked in.
A familiar smell of blood penetrated his nose.
My stomach was churning and spasming. I had been so frightened that I had vomited everything on the second floor of the restaurant. Now, I couldn't even vomit out the acidic water.
The two entered the side room.
A match was struck.
Dumbfounded: The younger brother who works in the detective team is looking at the two older brothers with wide eyes.
However, there was an open gash on the neck.
The bed was full of blood, but the blood didn't spray everywhere.
It seems that the murderers are all veterans.
This time, the two of them were confused again. Are those Eighth Route Army crazy?
Not only do we want to kill the Japanese, but why do we also kill the Chinese?
No, my brother is a traitor in the eyes of the Eighth Route Army!
According to usual custom, you have to shout a few times and then report the crime to the police station.
However, just after the scene in the restaurant, the two of them opened their mouths but couldn't make a sound.
Originally, because of the care of this cousin, doing business in the county was like a fish in water.
But now, the two good businessmen are no longer calm and have to run away.
Otherwise, you will die.
The two looked at each other with regret.
If I had known better, I would have listened to the advice of my business partner who had dinner with me and run away together!
Now, I don’t know if it’s too late!
Growing up in the county town, I knew that it was difficult to get in from the outside of this city wall, but naturally it was much easier to get out from the inside.
He walked out of his brother's house.
Around twelve o'clock.
There were more than ten members of the two families, and they crept up on the ladder to avoid the patrols, and began to scale the city wall.
at the same time.
A squad of Japanese military police moved out from the military camp in the west of the city.
Go straight to Dadexing Restaurant two miles away.
As the military shoes came into contact with the stone pavement, the second lieutenant leading the team was blown by the cold wind and couldn't help but feel even more angry.
He didn't ask his sergeant to look for him, because the drunken elite might lose his mind and ask his subordinates to get slapped.
Just because they are elites performing special tasks, can they drink until twelve o'clock?
Serious violation of military orders!
I'll have to give you some color later.
They need to know what is forbidden.
Silent night, cold long street, howling cold wind.
The team walked past the gate of the county government, past the dim electric lights, and past the stage square where garbage was left after the play.
Into the darkness again.
The second lieutenant couldn't help cursing in his mind that the technicians responsible for generating electricity were all idiots. During the Chinese New Year, the searchlights on the city wall were not turned on.
The flashlight turns on again.
A circle of light shook in front of the team.
A faint black footprint suddenly appeared on the ground.
No one in the team paid attention. As they walked towards the restaurant, there were more and more black footprints on the ground, and the second lieutenant finally frowned.
The footprints became denser, and all of them pointed to the door of the restaurant, which was still lit, and the second lieutenant suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart.
Using his bayonet to lift open the door curtain, the second lieutenant strode up the two steps into the lobby on the first floor of the restaurant.
The cold wind didn't seem to be able to freeze the blood. He sniffed his nose and the familiar smell that filled the air made the second lieutenant feel an inexplicable sense of pleasure.
There was no sound in the restaurant except for the shriek of the cold wind passing through some gaps.
The second lieutenant looked at the body of the shopkeeper in black not far from the door, and felt a lot calmer. Although the dense black footprints in the room filled the space between the tables.
Look at those strange scattered things under the light.
The second lieutenant flattened his command knife, squatted down, and looked at the shopkeeper's body, with a large pool of blood next to it.
This guy really deserves to die. Relying on his relationship with the Major, he even treats himself with respect on the surface, but in fact he doesn't take him seriously at all.
The military police team did not hear any other orders from the second lieutenant, and all remained silent.
There was one thought in his mind: the advance team must have killed the major's puppet.
But where did the elite team that performed the special mission go?
A certain military policeman inadvertently looked up at the roof and was immediately stunned.
In the gaps between the floorboards, there are strings of dark red awls hanging, string after string, string after string, string after string!
What kind of pendant is this for the Chinese New Year?
I haven't seen it before.
