Shiro Ishikawa led a motorcycle team to search the city, but no suspicious target was found.
When the outdoor search found nothing, Ishikawa Shiro ordered a home search. The search locations were temporarily focused on inns.
In the small town of Qiaonan during the war years, there were very few inns and inns. There were no more than a dozen large and small inns in total. Xianghe Inn should be among the large ones and it was very famous in the county.
Several hotels were searched by area, and a total of 26 suspects were arrested.
It was almost midnight, and Shiro Ishikawa led the motorcycle team straight towards Xianghe Hotel.
After a while, the waiter hurried down to the second floor and reported the whereabouts of the motorcycle team to Ma Xiaoyue.
Ma Xiaoyue walked out of the bedroom carrying a lantern and hurriedly climbed to the attic.
Hearing the slight call, Yumei hurriedly opened the door.
Seeing that Yumei and Shanzi were neatly dressed and their bedding was still intact, Ma Xiaoyue said: "Yumei, the Japanese are coming towards the hotel. You two should take off your coats and lie down quickly, otherwise the Japanese will become more suspicious."
After leaving Yumei's room, Ma Xiaoyue explained to Yanni again.
Not long after returning to the bedroom from the attic, a group of motorcycles came suddenly and parked in front of the store.
Shiro Ishikawa waved his hand, and a group of Japanese soldiers kicked down the door of the store.
The waiter opened the store door, and Shiro Ishikawa ordered a dozen soldiers to go upstairs and downstairs without asking any questions, and immediately launched a search.
The waiter pretended to be frightened and called Stationmaster Li out of the bedroom.
Stationmaster Li bowed to Shiro Ishikawa and said, "Hello, Taijun, welcome to Xianghe Hotel."
Shiro Ishikawa looked at the other person carefully and asked Station Manager Li what he was doing.
Stationmaster Li introduced him with a smile, and then asked: "Taijun, why do you come to our store so late at night?"
Ishikawa Shiro shook his head and sneered, refusing to answer stationmaster Li's inquiry.
According to Shiro Ishikawa's request, stationmaster Li unlocked the door of the accounting room, and the two Japanese soldiers searched the room but found nothing suspicious.
Unwilling to give up, Ishikawa Shiro ordered the soldiers to search Station Commander Li's bedroom.
After Ma Xiaoyue heard this, she took the initiative to walk out of the bedroom and invited Shiro Ishikawa to check it out in person.
Shiro Ishikawa was indifferent to Ma Xiaoyue's invitation.
Two Japanese soldiers rushed into the room one after another, and the result of the search was still that nothing suspicious was found.
In just ten minutes, nine suspects were arrested at Xianghe Hotel and they will be escorted to the Japanese base camp for interrogation.
The search is still continuing, and the Japanese in the attic are knocking on Yumei's door.
Shanzi lit a candle and wore only a pair of underwear. After opening the door, he asked bluntly: "What are you doing?"
Without saying a word, the Japanese pushed Shanzi away.
Under the illumination of the flashlight, Yumei grabbed the quilt on her chest and sat up shyly.
Shanzi stood in front of the bed with a raised eyebrow and said in a warning tone: "She is my wife, don't scare her."
The Jaap probably didn't understand what Shanzi was saying. He hesitated for a moment, then suddenly opened the cupboard next to the bed and scattered the contents of the bag all over the floor.
Looking at the things underground, I didn't find anything suspicious except for clothes and the like.
The Japs pulled Shanzi aside again and used a bayonet to cut between Yumei and Shanzi. Yumei understood what the Japs meant and got out of bed and stood side by side with Shanzi.
Only then did Shanzi realize that Yumei was wearing a vest-style floral shirt on her upper body and a pair of knee-length blue trousers on her lower body.
Strangely enough, neither of the two Japanese soldiers ignored Yumei's existence. After scratching all over the bed, they walked out dejectedly.
When I knocked on Yanni's door, it was Yanni who opened the door.
By the light of the red candle, I could see that Yanni was wearing a red bellyband and a pair of blue pants that covered her hips. Both her arms and legs looked much stronger than Yumei's.
Knowing that the Japanese were knocking on the door, Yanni deliberately didn't wear a coat. She waited until the door was opened, then hurriedly picked up her clothes and shouted to Xiao Liu: "Master, the imperial army is coming, get up quickly."
Xiao Liu sat up quickly, smiled innocently at the Japanese and nodded.
The Japanese soldiers looked around and walked away without saying a word.
