There are no wonders in the world, and coincidences are everywhere and everywhere.
After Zhao Danian completed Shanzi's instructions and just returned to the camp headquarters from the guard platoon, the spies sent by Zhu Yuankui happened to board Huanglang Mountain.
In appearance, the two spies were one tall, one short, one fat and one thin, just like cucumbers and potatoes.
After traveling all over Huanglang Mountain, the spies found nothing unusual. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking northwest, Circle Ridge appeared vividly before our eyes like a giant green-haired turtle.
Regardless of fatigue and scorching heat, the spy hurried down the mountain and headed straight to Circle Ridge.
From Huanglang Mountain to Quanquan Ridge, we walked another seven or eight miles in one breath.
Panting, I climbed up the Circle Ridge, when two young boys suddenly jumped out of the bushes.
Shitou asked: "Brothers, what are you doing here?"
The tall thin man replied: "My family accidentally lost the sheep, so I came here to look for the sheep."
Hei Niu asked: "Which village are you from?"
The short fat man replied: "We are from Dongling."
Shitou said: "No, Dongling is more than ten miles away from here. How can the sheep get here?"
The tall and thin man said: "That thing has four legs. You know where it goes. Just look for it."
Hei Niu said: "We stayed here before dawn and looked around. We never saw any sheep coming here. You can go back."
The short fat man said: "Now that we are here, it will be a waste of time to go back and go around the mountain opposite."
Shitou then said: "I'm sorry, brother, you are not allowed to enter the mountains and forests in the north. Please go back."
The tall and thin man asked: "What do you two do? Why are you not allowed in?"
Hei Niu replied: "We are here to look after Lin, but our boss won't let us in."
Upon hearing Hei Niu's answer, the tall and thin man was greatly disappointed: "That's nonsense. I thought it was no big deal. We are looking for sheep, not stealing firewood or cutting down trees. Even if our boss is here, there is no reason to stop us."
Having said this, the tall and thin man waved his hand to the short and fat man: "Let's go."
The short fat man followed the tall thin man and just turned around when he was hit in the back of the head by two hard shell guns.
Shitou said: "Two eldest brothers, since you don't listen to the advice, I have no choice but to accompany you."
The two secret agents followed Shitou's instructions and walked down the Circle Ridge without panic.

Passing the threshold of the battalion headquarters, the tall and thin man shouted loudly: "Which one of you three is an official? Why did you arrest us here?"
Zhao Danian said: "Fellow, please don't misunderstand. This is where the army is stationed. Any stranger entering this area must be reviewed and registered to prevent leaks."
The tall and thin man was very excited, and then shouted: "What a joke, who can the common people turn to to leak the secret? Do you think we are traitors?"
Shanzi answered the question: "Fellow fellow, where are you two from?"
Gao Shouzi said: "I told my two brothers just now that we are from Xiling Village. My family accidentally lost their sheep and came here to look for them."
The tall, thin man and the short fat man hesitated for a long time, then turned around reluctantly.
Shan Zi took a cursory glance from behind and said, "Bend your waist again."
The tall and thin man suddenly turned around: "Comrade of the Eighth Route Army, please don't abuse the common people."
Shanzi said: "Well, in that case, please hand over the iron thing hidden behind your waist, so that others will not take action and lose your dignity."
When the tall and thin man heard this, his head roared.
Humpty Dumpty also felt as if he had been hit by a sap, and became dumbfounded.
After finally coming back to his senses, the tall and thin man pretended to be crazy and said: "Brother, what do you mean? You have fooled my eldest brother."
Shan Zi said with a serious smile: "Shitou, Hei Niu, you two wake them up."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shitou and Hei Niu each kicked each other hard on the back of the knee and wrist. The tall, thin man and the short fat man were caught off guard and fell to the ground. Their backs moved up, revealing the sleek shell guns.
Shitou Hei Niu was not in a hurry to fire his gun, and kicked and kicked him until the tall, thin man and the short fat man cried for their fathers and mothers, and kept shouting for mercy.
After separate interrogations, the confessions of the two spies were completely consistent.
The tall and thin man is named Zhu Zihui, who is 38 years old. The short and fat man is named Cao Fulai, who is five years younger than Zhu Zihui. The former joined the security team three months ago and the latter less than two months ago.
According to the two accounts -
Security captain Zhu Yuankui was also born in Zhujiazhuang. His father had thousands of acres of farmland and a fortune. However, he was unkind because of his wealth. He usually bullied men and women and did all kinds of evil. He was the famous Zhu Batian in the local area.
In order to expand the power of the security team, Zhu Yuankui used various means to force villagers to join the security team. If they disobeyed, they would be beaten and punished, and in the worst case, their families would be destroyed.
After the interrogation, Zhu Zihui and Cao Fulai each wrote a guarantee letter of renunciation and surrender as required.
After signing the guarantee letter, Yumei said: "From now on, you two are no longer traitors, but anti-Japanese fighters lurking in the Japanese camp."
At this time, Shan Zi told Zhu Zihui that once valuable information was obtained, he must report it to the Independent Battalion through the Xianghe Hotel as soon as possible.
When leaving, Shan Zi wanted to return the confiscated rifle to its owner, but Zhu Zihui refused to accept it and gave it as a gift to the Independence Battalion.
Yumei felt strange and asked Zhu Zihui how to explain to Zhu Yuankui.
Zhu Zihui said that no one would doubt him if he was robbed by bandits.
