In the darkness, a huge figure fell from the sky and pressed firmly on Hu Laosan's body.
"Sir, I got him!"
The fat man said to Ma Xiaoguang in a low voice.
Ma Xiaoguang remained silent, took a step forward, and carefully inspected the person on the ground who was pinned down by the fat man.
After verifying his identity and confirming that there was no danger, he found rags from the fat man's bag and blocked the mouths of the people on the ground. Ma Xiaoguang stood up.
The fat man was not idle either. When Ma Xiaoguang stood up, he took out the brass cuffs from his bag and leaned Hu Laosan against him.
"Take him inside and we'll search him again."
Ma Xiaoguang whispered to the fat man.
Soon, calm returned to the alley and everything was as usual.
In Hu Laosan's house, Ma Xiaoguang sat on the main seat of the main hall, his eyes like lightning.
The fat man had a fierce look on his face, like the bull-headed and horse-faced one in the City God's Temple.
Lao Li was carefully searching every corner of the house.
Ma Xiaoguang asked coldly: "What happened with the explosion at Datong Hotel?"
"I do not know!"
Hu Laosan replied with a confused look on his face.
"I don't know? Why did you run when you saw us?"
Ma Xiaoguang asked with a sneer.
"Sir, the war is in chaos right now, and there are too many people pretending to be police officers... I saw that this officer looked unfamiliar and was not from the nearby police station, so I was scared."
Although Hu Laosan's voice was trembling, he gave a reason that was not a reason.
"This guy is a duck."
Lao Li said angrily from the side.
Before he finished speaking, a package fell from the sky and landed in front of Hu Laosan.
"What's in this? You don't need me to tell you, do I?"
Ma Xiaoguang playfully kicked the package on the ground and asked solemnly.
Hu Laosan seemed unmoved, his head drooped without saying a word.
Ma Xiaoguang didn't talk nonsense to him. He winked at the fat man and stepped aside.
The fat man understood on the spot and called Lao Li to come over and help.
Lao Li picked up the rag from the ground and blocked Hu Laosan's mouth again.
Fatty and Lao Li exchanged a look, and like an eagle catching a chicken, they picked up Hu Laosan and took him to the kitchen...
Soon, the sound of rushing water and Hu Laosan's low "Woo" came from the kitchen.
Half an hour later, Hu Laosan, who was dripping wet with a pale face and blue lips, was brought back to Ma Xiaoguang.
"Ready to say something?"
Ma Xiaoguang asked Hu Laosan.
Hu Laosan's mouth was blocked and he could not speak. He just nodded and trembled.
The rag on his mouth was taken out, and Hu Laosan gasped for air.
"Speak quickly, otherwise your fat master will have plenty of ways to deal with you!"
The fat man took a step forward and shouted in a deep voice, which immediately made Hu Laosan tremble even more like a frightened bird.
"My name is Hu Degui, formerly known as Hattori Yongdou, and I am an intelligence agent of the Neon Army..."
Neon spy Hattori Yongdou, who goes by the pseudonym electrician Hu Degui, confessed.
"Tell me about your upline and who else to contact."
Ma Xiaoguang asked coldly without any expression on his face.
"My upline is the manager of Datong Hotel, Li Ruicai. His original name is Nishida Aosuke, and his code name is Shima. We are both members of the Neon Army Intelligence Department, a ten-person team."
"Ten people? That many?"
The fat man asked in surprise when he heard this.
"It's the stone of stone, 'Stone Man'...my codename is Stone Bird."
Hattori Eiichi trembled and replied in a shaky voice.
Ma Xiaoguang continued to ask: "Do you know the other people in your group?"
Hattori Eiichi replied dejectedly: "I don't know, I just contacted Ishima, Nishida Sosuke, and Li Ruicai."
"The fat man compiled the confession and asked him to draw a pledge. After finishing it, he blocked his mouth and contacted Xuzhou to pick him up and keep a good eye on him."
Ma Xiaoguang pondered for a moment and then ordered the fat man in a deep voice.
After a busy time, it was already early in the morning when the three of them returned to the officers' guest house.
The three of them washed up briefly and then fell back to rest.
A night of silence.
Early in the morning, the three of them arrived at the Fifth Theater Commander's Headquarters, not far from the guest house.
meeting room.
Yang Dehua and Wang Guofan from Xuzhou Station were also there at this time.
"Team Leader Ma really did something extraordinary and captured members of the Japanese espionage 'Stone Man' team within a few hours!"
Yang Dehua took a step forward, raised his hand in salute, and praised sincerely.
"Brother Yang is overly praised. This is just the beginning. Let's discuss how to capture Ni Desheng and how to find their other members."
Ma Xiaoguang did not pretend to be thirteen this time, but waved his hand modestly and said directly.
Now that the main leaders had set the tone, Yang Dehua and Wang Guofan looked at each other and smiled, instead of continuing their official tone, they invited everyone to sit down and began to discuss the next step.
"After receiving the confessions from 'Ishitori' Hattori and his confession yesterday from Chief Ma, we organized a review to confirm that this person did not tell lies."
Wang Guofan held the folder and introduced the situation to everyone in a deep voice.
"Then how do the members of the other party communicate with each other up and down the line?"
When Yang Dehua heard this, he frowned and asked quickly - this is the question that everyone is most concerned about now.
Wang Guofan shook his head and replied with some embarrassment: "It takes some time to check radio stations, advertising notice boards and dead mailboxes."
When Yang Dehua heard this, he said with some urgency: "I understand this, but time waits for no one..."
"I have some humble opinions. Let's take a look at them together..."
Seeing that everyone was at a loss what to do, Ma Xiaoguang gently put down Hattori's interrogation records and spoke out.
When everyone heard this, they immediately looked at him expectantly, waiting for this person to make another big move.
"The Japanese spy deliberately exposed the whereabouts of Ni, and he did it in Datong Hotel. He clearly means to compete with us..."
"The purpose is nothing more than to attack our intelligence department, create panic before the war, and provide support for the Neon Army's next move."
"Furthermore, our preliminary interrogation last night and the interrogation and reconnaissance of Station Commander Wang and others showed that the Japanese spy team has no signs of leaving Xuzhou."
"And the war is imminent, and all transportation arteries are blocked by the national army. It is not easy to leave easily."
"Based on these reasons, I analyze that the man named Ni should still be in Xuzhou City. He is probably hiding somewhere, waiting for an opportunity!"
Ma Xiaoguang's analysis made everyone nod.
"Then how do we find this person named Ni next?"
Yang Dehua asked a question that was of great concern to everyone present.
Ma Xiaoguang smiled calmly and said: "The so-called Cunning Rabbit's Three Caves. As an old spy, Ni must have other places to stay besides Huanglou Street. As long as we find the temple now, the monk will not be able to escape."
"Then how did you catch this person named Ni? Although Xuzhou is not as good as Jinling and Jiangcheng, it is not small!"
Zhou Yongqi, who was sitting at the bottom, couldn't help but ask.
Wang Guofan had already reacted at this time, and suddenly his face was filled with black lines.
He glared at Zhou Yongqi fiercely and motioned for him to shut his mouth.
