As early as when Ando held a joint meeting, Zhu Zihui secretly speculated that the mass shooting at Xiangmanlou was committed by an independent group, and Wang Zikai must be among them.
Since he had not received any information in advance, Zhu Zihui did not know where Shanzi was hiding, but based on experience, he speculated that he was still at Xianghe Hotel.
At five o'clock in the morning, the sky was still dark. Zhu Zihui was wearing casual clothes and walked around the corner to Xianghe Hotel.
Everyone in the security regiment knows that Deputy Commander Zhu has a habit of doing morning exercises. It is no longer surprising for officers or soldiers to go out early in the morning.
Hearing a rapid knock on the door, the waiter hurriedly opened the door.
When he saw that the person was Zhu Zihui, the waiter immediately understood the purpose of his visit: "Please come in quickly."
Zhu Zihui asked: "Is there any fellow countryman staying in the hotel?"
The waiter replied: "Follow me,"
After a while, Zhu Zihui climbed up to the attic and patted Shanzi's door again.
After listening to the information sent by Zhu Zihui, Shan Zi's face tightened and he didn't say a word for a long time.
Zhu Zihui said: "Commander Wang, the situation is critical and we should find a way to deal with it as soon as possible."
Shanzi remained silent, just nodded his head heavily.
When seeing Zhu Zihui out of the room, Shanzi sent the waiter to call Xiao Zhang, Shi Zi and Yanni.
Following Shanzi's instructions, Xiao Zhang, Shizi and Yanni set off immediately, quickly went to Bao Yulian's home, and sneaked into Kaiyuan Middle School through Bao Yulian, temporarily avoiding the Japanese search.
Xiao Zhang asked: "Captain, what are your next steps?"
Shanzi said: "Stay where you are and go quickly."
The three team members left, and Shanzi and the waiter went downstairs together. At this time, the door of the counting house was open, and stationmaster Li and his wife were waiting for Shanzi.
During the conversation, Shanzi refused Station Master Li's hidden dissuasion and insisted on implementing the second plan.
Seeing that Shanzi was determined, Stationmaster Li and his wife felt helpless. One smiled bitterly and the other sighed.
It was getting slightly brighter, and Shanzi knocked on Aunt Ma's door with a coded signal. It was Aunt Ma who opened the door.
After closing the door bolt, Shanzi asked Yumei and Xiaoru if they got up.
The mother said that the door had not been opened and she was probably still sleeping.
Shanzi agreed and went straight to the east wing.
After knocking on the door twice, Xiaoru said: "Wait a moment,"
Shanzi said: "The situation is urgent, don't be wordy,"
After saying this, Xiaoru, wearing a red floral cotton-padded jacket, opened the door and said, "Captain, you're just in time, come and take a look."
Shanzi stepped into the threshold and was shocked by what he saw in front of him. He saw a huge piece of ground in front of the bed, scattered with cotton wool and pieces of cloth, and it looked like a mess.
At this time, I looked at Yumei again, her face was gloomy, her eyes were dull, her upper body was covered with a purple-red cotton coat, and her lower body was still covered by the quilt. She had obviously just sat up from the bed.
Shanzi was stunned for a long time and asked Xiaoru what was going on.
Xiaoru said: "Last night, some plainclothes dogs were tampering with me. Sister Mei thought her cotton-padded jacket was stained, so she found scissors and tore it up like this."
Shanzi didn't know how to comfort Yumei, but vented his anger on Xiaoru: "Then what do you do with two eyes? Just stare at her and let her do whatever she wants."
Xiaoru felt aggrieved and angrily defended: "What nonsense? The wording is inappropriate. A traitor insulted Sister Yumei. Isn't it wrong to vent your resentment?"
Shanzi raised his tone again by an octave: "Play the piano randomly and let it out, but what are you going to do afterwards? Look at the mess on the ground, why don't you clean it up?"
Xiaoru didn't give in and raised her voice an octave: "It's not a mistake. I left it for you to see on purpose. Why did you clean it up?"
Shanzi was furious: "You're reasonable, right? I told you that this bad move couldn't be made. At that time, the nine-headed ox couldn't pull it back. It's more stubborn than a stubborn eye. Who can blame you?"
Yumei said: "Zikai, Yumei has no regrets for killing the traitor. Venting out her resentment is just a personal act. Just pretend that nothing happened. Tell me quickly. If there is any emergency,"
Shanzi then calmed down and told the information from Zhu Zihui, and also told Yumei and Xiaoru about the whereabouts of Xiao Zhang, Xiao Lin and Shi Zi.
Yumei asked: "What should we do?"
Shanzi said: "Change your name. Your name is Xia Wenzhi, my name is Ma Lichao, Xiaoru is Ma Xiaoxuan, Ma Lichao is Ma Lichao's third son, and Ma Xiaoxuan is Ma Lichao's third younger sister."
Yumei was confused for a moment and asked again: "Who is Xia Wenzhi?"
Shanzi was embarrassed and silent, and did not answer for a long time.
Xiaoru rolled her eyes and smiled coldly: "Yumei, look you are stupid, Xia Wenzhi is Aunt Ma's daughter-in-law, that is, Ma Xiaoxuan's third sister-in-law."
Upon hearing Xiaoru reveal the answer to the mystery, Yumei's face turned red, and then asked: "Zikai, the current situation is serious, what are your next steps?"
Shanzi told Yumei that the plan remained unchanged and continued with the second plan.
Yumei said: "Looking at the current situation, I think there is no need to act too hastily. If we fail, it will not only be us who lose, but the key is Bao Yulian will be affected," Yumei said.
Seeing Shanzi's hesitation, Yumei continued: "Besides, the second option is only our unilateral plan. What is the situation on Bao Yulian's side is still unknown,"
Shanzi hesitated again and again and decided to ask Bao Yulian to learn more about the situation and make a conclusion based on the situation.

To prevent accidents, Yumei arranged for Xiaoru to accompany Shanzi to Bao Yulian's home.
During the trip, Xiaoru asked curiously why Bao Yulian knew the plainclothes captain Yan Gaoming.
Shanzi repeated Jinye's rhetoric.
Shiro Ishikawa, the deputy captain of the Japanese army, was very fond of Chinese culture and often went to Yayi calligraphy and painting store to buy calligraphy, paintings and books. Over time, he became familiar with it.
Shanzi went on to say,
Later, Jinye went to the city to cause trouble and was invited to join the plainclothes team. Thanks to Bao Yulian, he asked Ishikawa Shiro to come forward, and he met Yan Gaoming through Ishikawa Shiro.
Knowing Shanzi's purpose, Bao Yulian said that although she had been in contact with Yan Gaoming many times, she had never been to his office. As for whether the original files of the plainclothes team were there, it all depended on luck.
Shanzi said, no matter where it is stored, we must find a way to get it.
After much deliberation, Bao Yulian decided to invite Yan Gaoming to dance at Rongle Gate in the evening.
Shanzi was very surprised when he heard about Ronglemen, and Bao Yulian took the initiative to introduce it.
Rongle Gate opened less than half a month ago. It integrates guest rooms, dance halls, and casinos. Therefore, it has attracted many dignitaries and celebrities, and it is also a place where Japanese and puppet officials often set foot.
After introducing the general situation of Rongle Gate, Bao Yulian suggested that Shanzi and Xiaoru rush to Rongle Gate at 7:30 in the evening, grab a seat in advance, and get to know Yan Gaoming secretly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of a motorcycle came from the alley.
Because the family home of Kaiyuan Middle School is close to the Japanese army base camp, it was the area that the Japanese army prioritized during this manhunt.
According to the serial number, it was the third search team that broke into Bao Yulian's home, headed by a second lieutenant squad leader, affiliated with the Japanese Second Squadron.
Regardless of their age or body shape, Shanzi, Xiaoru and Bao Yulian all have suspicious characteristics. Moreover, since there are no children in the family, these three men and women are the key suspects.
Without saying a word, the squad leader ordered them all to be taken away.
Bao Yulian said: "Sir, please report to Captain Ishikawa and ask him to personally take care of it."
The squad leader looked suspicious and asked Bao Yulian what he was doing.
Bao Yulian smiled coldly: "You are not qualified to know what I am doing. Please ask Captain Ishikawa to come over."
The squad leader was confused, regained his composure, waved his hand, and led the two soldiers out of the main room in a hurry.
Shiro Ishikawa never expected that this dilapidated and cramped house would actually be Bao Yulian's home.
Seeing that Bao Yulian was also pointed with a bayonet, Ishikawa Shiro roared: "Eight squares,"
Before the squad leader could figure out who Ishikawa Shiro was scolding, he was slapped twice and was stunned.
After the slap, Shiro Ishikawa smiled with a smile on his face and turned to face Bao Yulian: "Little sister Bao, please forgive me for my ignorance. I apologize for my humble position."
Bao Yulian said: "Captain Ishikawa, I'd like to thank you for your kindness. I just want to show my innocence. My nephew will get married soon. Yesterday I came to the county with my wife to buy wedding supplies. Unfortunately, you misunderstood me."
After hearing Bao Yulian's explanation, Ishikawa Shiro said sorry twice.
After seeing off Shiro Ishikawa, Bao Yulian responded to Shanzi's request and accompanied Shanzi and Xiaoru to Kaiyuan Middle School to visit Xiao Zhang, Persimmon and Yanni who were hiding there.
