It was past midnight, and there were hardly any pedestrians on the streets outside.

Zhang Tianhao walked slowly down the street, still carrying the lingering odor, but his expression had calmed down considerably. He then put his hand under his nose and sniffed it.

A strong odor wafted over, clearly a mixture of various strange smells, which was quite intoxicating.

Zhang Tianhao didn't immediately turn back. He gave a wry smile and then hurried home.

When he arrived at his doorstep, he saw a familiar figure sitting there, dozing off.

"Hey, what's Xiaoyu doing here at this hour?"

"Xiaoyu, what are you doing here?"

"uncle!"

Xiao Yu rubbed her eyes and looked over with some doubt. When she confirmed that it was Zhang Tianhao, she was about to speak.

"Come in and talk!"

Without saying much, he took out the key, opened the door, and then carried Xiao Yu into the courtyard.

He closed the door behind him and went straight into the hall, where he placed Xiao Yu on a stool.

"Xiaoyu, what's up with you so late?"

"Here's what happened. Today, Xiao San saw a stranger walk into the military camp, and these people looked rather strange."

"We've seen that stranger before; he's the third-in-command of Erhu Mountain!"

"Wait a minute, wasn't the third leader dead? How come he's reappeared?"

He was also taken aback, and immediately became very puzzled. He obviously did not expect that the news from Ah Hu's side was that the third leader was dead. So who was this third leader?

He murmured to himself, after all, such a big thing still shocked him.

"A third leader has arrived. You mean it's impossible for Erhushan to be the one with the third leader? I heard that Erhushan has changed hands!"

"I won't mistake him. He's the third leader of the bandits over at Erhu Mountain. I would never mistake him, even if you beat me to death. After all, he killed Xiao San's parents. I absolutely won't mistake him."

"I see. What was the reaction in the military camp?"

"I don't know, but it seems that more than a dozen Japanese soldiers have gone there, and the entire camp is under guard. As for what happened, I don't know."

Looking into Xiao Yu's eyes, Zhang Tianhao felt a sense of unease. It was very likely that something had happened at Erhushan, and that the Japanese were preparing to wipe out Erhushan.

"Alright, you can sleep here tonight!"

"No need, Uncle, I'm awake now and I'm going back to sleep!"

"No need for that. You'll be coming back tomorrow morning anyway. How about this, you can sleep at the restaurant. It's in the kitchen, so it's not cold. You can make do for the night."

"Row!"

Watching Xiao Yu leave in a hurry, Zhang Tianhao sat down. Then, as if he had thought of something, he sat down, picked up the radio, and sent a telegram to Ah Hu.

Unfortunately, perhaps because there was no news from here and the radio station over there wasn't turned on, his expression was somewhat strange, but it was also understandable.

Having thought of this, he left home and headed straight for Ahua's house.

Before long, they arrived at Ahua's house.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Who is it? It's so late, can't a person get some sleep?"

"Hello, is this the shopkeeper? I have something to tell you!"

Ahua was already asleep, and even his woman was asleep there.

After all, it was already past midnight. If we didn't go to sleep, who knows what we'd be doing?

However, Ahua was also stunned when he heard Zhang Tianhao's voice, and immediately sat up.

"Alright, that's right, buddy!" Ahua said to the woman, then got dressed, stood up, and went to the door.

Then they saw Zhang Tianhao standing there, looking around with some confusion.

He immediately whispered, "Young Master, what brings you here?"

“I just got news from Xiaoyu that the military camp outside seems to have been taken over by the Japanese. They even saw a third leader of Erhu Mountain. I initially thought it was fake, but Xiaoyu is quite certain it's real. I suspect the Japanese are planning to encircle and annihilate Erhu. You can inform Ah Hu.”

"What? There's such a thing? What are we going to do?"

"Go over there first thing tomorrow morning to inform them, just in case something serious happens. They are currently severely understaffed and untrained, so it will be difficult for them to command respect."

"Most importantly, I suspect there are other entrances to the mountain, so have Ah Hu thoroughly check them to prevent anyone from attacking from other entrances."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Ahua responded and turned to walk into the room, preparing to go there that very night.

"Should it be over now?"

"It's alright, let's go now to prevent any problems! The sooner we prepare, the sooner we'll be careful, and the sooner we'll be safe."

"Alright, tell your family that there's been a slight problem with the restaurant's supplies, and you can go and take a look."

"it is good!"

Watching Ahua go inside, Zhang Tianhao turned and left as well. After all, he couldn't stay any longer, or it would cause trouble.

Upon returning home, he had no intention of resting. He immediately sat cross-legged on his recliner and began circulating his internal energy, hoping to fully restore his mental strength as soon as possible.

Time passed by little by little, and the things happening outside seemed to have nothing to do with him anymore.

However, he didn't care. What he was doing now was simply taking care of his own affairs.

……

Inside the police station.

Director Song looked at Captain Xia sitting opposite him, and both of them understood why the two were sitting there.

"Captain Xia, you've found out, haven't you?"

"It's very likely the bandits from Erhu Mountain. After all, only bandits would steal so much stuff, even women, don't you think?"

"Yes, I also suspect it was done by bandits, after all, bandits have done this more than once or twice!"

"Hehe, the bandits have entered the city. What a mistake, what a mistake."

"It is indeed a mistake, but unfortunately, my police officers are completely helpless against these bandits, since they all have guns."

"No need. Someone has already found out that it was done by bandits. After all, someone reported it to the Imperial Army."

"Oh, who is it?"

"The third leader of Erhu Mountain!"

"Why would he need to report it himself? Isn't that just handing us a free kill?"

"You're wrong, he's Japanese. I never would have guessed that the third leader of Erhu Mountain is Japanese."

"Who said this?"

"Who else could it be? I didn't believe the news from the military camp at first. I didn't expect that Erhushan had been taken over. However, these people seem to be different from ordinary bandits. Those who committed evil deeds have all been wiped out."

"Really? That's great! Now we know who did it, and we don't need to investigate any further!"

"That's true, we really don't need to investigate any further."

Captain Xia gave a wry smile, but both of them knew in their hearts that this wasn't the work of bandits at all; it was most likely the work of people on the east bank of the river. (End of Chapter)
