Inside the police station.

Although it was already dawn, Captain Xia and Director Song were not sleepy at all. They sat there, looking at each other with their eyes full of shock.

"Old Song, tell me, what major event happened in Han Street in the South City that caused so many Japanese to dig that well, and directly led to a huge explosion that killed two or three hundred people. That's terrifying!"

"Who knows what happened?"

"I've already called the police officers patrolling South Street over, but they knew nothing about it."

"The only strange thing happening in Han Street lately is that everyone there has fallen ill these past two days. Some people are even saying there's something wrong with the well."

"Nobody knows what exactly happened. Now the Japanese are digging wells there, and nobody knows who buried so many explosives underneath. Suddenly, half a street was blown into the air."

"I thought it was an earthquake, but now it seems to be much more serious than we imagined. Otherwise, they wouldn't have used our trucks to transport the bodies and the wounded directly."

"It's really terrible, Lao Xia. When I went there, it was a river of blood, with limbs and dismembered bodies everywhere, and even a lot of intestines were missing."

“I went over to see it too. I don’t know who it was, but they were so ruthless as to gamble half a street on a fateful duel with the Japanese. Now it seems the stranger won.”

"Ok!"

"I don't know who did this this time, but they were able to predict the Japanese's next move. I checked, and the Military Intelligence Bureau doesn't have that kind of capability!"

“I know that, but things often turn out unexpectedly, so I don’t know who did it! But I still want to applaud him.”

"Ok!"

Although the two had their own thoughts, they could only express their sympathy in the face of this situation.

"By the way, there are about a hundred seriously injured Japanese soldiers without medicine. I doubt they can hold out until tomorrow!"

"Hmm, that's actually quite possible!"

As for the less serious injuries, almost everyone has some scars or marks, but none of them are serious enough to require treatment.

"Alright, things aren't as simple as you think. The Japanese went crazy last night. Didn't you hear that huge explosion? I was so scared that I didn't dare go out and just hid outside."

"I suspect that these recent incidents may be related to the Ito Trading Company. Of course, this is just my guess. As for what happened on South Street, I don't know anything about it, and I haven't found any clues."

"Oh, you're only just realizing this? I noticed it a while ago. Ever since Chairman Ito was sent for treatment, I saw the hospital pharmacy being robbed, Chairman Ito being assassinated, the warehouse outside the city being ransacked, and then the warehouse inside the city being emptied twice in a row, both times using basically the same method."

"That's true, but we shouldn't say anything recklessly. After all, we're just the Japanese's dogs; they can make us bite whomever they want!"

"Ok!"

"By the way, how's your partner doing these days?"

"I'm alright, but I'm not in a very good mood!"

"I knew it would be like this!"

The two men gave a wry smile, then sat down and continued drinking their tea, while the people below worked busily.

……

The next day, Zhang Tianhao prepared to go out as usual.

This time he miscalculated. The streets were still full of Japanese people, and there were even a large number of puppet troops accompanying these Japanese people during the inspection.

He had no choice but to use the houses around him for cover and eventually made his way back to the Tian family's courtyard.

He breathed a sigh of relief after calling out Xiaotian's name. "Dr. Wang, why didn't you stay with me a little longer last night? You just had some tea and left. It was so heartbreaking."

"Alright, I'll stay with you for a while, okay?"

Zhang Tianhao gave a wry smile, then spent a pleasant afternoon with Xiaotian at her house.

At the same time, they went to Xiaoyu's house, explained the situation, and then the little ones came out of the basement and returned home.

……

"Old Liu, do you know what happened in the south of the city last night?"

Old Li also came in from outside and saw Old Liu sitting alone in the backyard drinking tea. He asked him in a low voice.

"I don't know. After all, I don't have anyone to ask about what's happening outside, so how could I possibly know? But you, why did you come to the city this morning?"

"News from over there is completely blocked. Even if we are generals, we will be stopped and may even be arrested. There is no one on the streets now, and the Japanese in each street have not let us through yet, really!"

"How did you sneak in?"

"Wasn't there a huge explosion reported last night?"

"I know about the big explosion, but unfortunately, I didn't know where it happened. You know, such a big explosion must have involved at least a ton of explosives."

"Tons of explosives? How is that possible? How is that possible?"

"I heard about it all over Lijiazhuang. I thought there had been a major accident, but then I found out it was an explosion in the city, so I used my connections to get into the city to see for myself!"

"I really don't know anything about this. I really can't do anything about it. You should rest here for a bit and then go back home. It's really too unsafe here. There's nothing I can do."

Old Liu also let out a long sigh. He wanted to know too, his heart was itching like a cat was scratching him, but he couldn't just run around.

"However, this explosion happened in the south of the city. I thought it was an earthquake. I was woken up from my sleep. I don't know how many houses were damaged!"

"hehe!"

Old Li gave a wry smile, then picked up his pipe and started smoking. Clearly, he wasn't planning to go back until he found out some news.

"By the way, I've also inquired about the news from Erhu Mountain. All three leaders of Erhu Mountain are dead. I heard that a new leader came and arrested and killed all the evildoers. The others had only been training for two or three days when the Japanese broke through. Later, I heard that the remaining members all escaped, but no one knows where they escaped to."

“We all suspect that the people from Erhushan are retaliating against what happened in the city this time.”

"Alright, we already thought of that. Now is not the time to talk about this. If you have something to do, get out of here. Don't go into the city unless you have to. It's not safe along the way, understand?"

"understood!"

……

"Xiaotian, what are you thinking?"

"So you plan to settle down here from now on?"

"If you have any other ideas, you can let me know. After all, I can still help you with some small things, really!"

Looking at the well-behaved Xiao Tian beside him, he felt a little sorry for her. If he hadn't hypnotized her to find out her identity, he might have made the wrong judgment.

After all, her father was Japanese, and now she was all alone. Her mother didn't acknowledge her at all—not that she didn't want to, but that she dared not. Only she knew the reasons behind this. (End of Chapter)
