Gou Huozhe's housekeeper has been in the Gou family for more than ten years and has always been cautious. He has no relatives in this area. Generally, he does not go out much except for completing what Gou Huozhe told him.

This time the housekeeper went out in the morning and had not come back until noon.

Gou Huozhe sent someone to the Zaocai shop to see it. The Zaocai shop seemed to be closed and there was no one to see.

If this is placed in an ordinary store, it may be understood that the boss has something to do and temporarily closed down.

But this Zaocai shop is a time-honored brand in Ping'an County. It has been going through ups and downs for more than ten years and has never stopped working any day, but it only focuses on reputation and brand.

This time, the business was suddenly closed for no reason. Many customers who went to buy date cakes returned in depressed, and things were strange everywhere.

Gou Huozhe was paced back and forth in his study, thinking about the details of the whole story, starting from the time he was summoned to meet the Japanese colonel with a scary eyes, until he secretly arranged for the butler to pass on the information.

Things soon became clear, and Gou Huozhe shivered in his heart. He didn't expect that he finally made up his mind to be a hero, but he was caught so easily.

Of course, he was not panicked yet. He could not remember how many times the Japanese bayonet and gun pointed at Gou Huozhe's head. He never thought that he would save his life. All he had done was to do his best to survive.

This time is no exception. Gou Huozhe still had the last chance to be lucky in his heart, and the housekeeper actually knew nothing about his affairs.

But the housekeeper is now missing. The biggest problem facing Gou Huozhe is: Should he look for the housekeeper or not? If he is looking for it, should he look for it with great fanfare or secretly?

If the butler was really captured by the Japanese, then did the Japanese suddenly take action this time and have they captured the Eighth Route Army? If they are caught, will they be confessed?

Of course, Gou Huozhe was not so smart that he could sort out all his ideas. The only thing he hoped for now was that things were not that bad.

"Looking, not only to look for it, but also to look for it as if nothing had happened, but also to look for it with great fanfare, and even let the Japanese find it for me." Gou Huozhe made up his mind.

Soon, in just half a day, almost everyone in the entire Ping'an County knew that the housekeeper of the Imperial Army squadron leader Gou Huozhe's family was missing. Gou Huozhe was anxious about this and was looking for people everywhere. He even asked the Japanese brigade leader Asano Komura for help.

When the news reached Yamamoto Ichiki's ears, the intelligence agent said to Yamamoto: "Colonel, I have used the punishment several times. The butler kept begging for mercy while he was dead and told everything he could think of, but he still didn't get any useful information from him. Could we really catch the wrong person?"

Yamamoto frowned and said, "I still underestimate the Chinese Gou Huozhe too much. He looks for his own housekeeper so much. However, his actions mean that he wants to convey a message to us."

“What information?”

"He has no secret information about the Eighth Route Army."

"What has been examined from the other two people?" Yamamoto asked.

The intelligence agent said: "Colonel, among the other two, the shopkeeper seems to be an ordinary person. When he was halfway through torture, he honestly explained everything. It was just another guy, who seemed to be just an ordinary person. He even begged for mercy with his nose when he was torture, but I always felt that he was pretending."

"How to say it?"

"When the iron landed on him, his muscles were already tense in an instinctive reaction. It seemed that he was preparing to resist the severe pain, but he quickly chose to relax again, trembling in fear like ordinary people. And his injuries were hard to explain."

"Interesting, take me to see, I will interrogate myself."

"Hi!"

……"May I have your name?"

"Madam, I am a coolie. On weekdays, everyone calls me Lao Hei. I am a good citizen. You really caught the wrong one, you caught the wrong one."

As an excellent agent, Yamamoto Ichiki's Chinese background is good, but he has always disdained to speak Chinese in front of Chinese people. His words were translated in a sneer: "I know whether to catch it or not. But you, you are here and still want to go out alive? Why pretend to disguise yourself again, it's no point."

Lao Hei looked confused, "Taijun, I don't understand what you are talking about?"

"Don't understand? Ordinary people are just to support their families. Why don't you not only want wages, but instead bribe the shopkeeper and work in a jujube cake shop?"

"Because I have always wanted to open a date cake shop, and this time I went there just to secretly learn how to make authentic date cakes. Taijun, you can't convict me randomly!"

...

...

"Old Hei is missing!"

At the independent regiment headquarters, Han Feng frowned when he received the news. He never expected that Yamamoto Ichiki would suddenly appear in Ping'an County with the special agent team. The shrewd Yamamoto could even notice that Gou Huozhe had a problem at first sight. Out of careful setting up a big net, he caught Lao Hei, the big fish.

“How long have you been missing?”

"Captain, at least one day, Lao Hei has been working as a clerk in Zaocai Shop, but he has not seen anyone these two days, and even Zaocai Shop has been closed. We have not been able to wait for Lao Hei. Before leaving, he told us that if he disappeared, we must not go to Zaocai Shop to find him, so as not to have a trap and we are unable to make up our minds and have to come back to report the situation."

"What other news?"

"Oh, Gou Huozhe's butler is also missing. Gou Huozhe has sent out the news of finding someone. Now the entire Ping'an County is looking for Gou Huozhe's butler! Even the Japanese are helping."

After hearing this, Han Feng fell into deep thought, and things are now a little messy.

Lao Hei disappeared, Gou Huozhe's butler also disappeared, Zaocai shop closed, and Lao Hei went to Zaocai shop again. The butler was the contact between him and Gou Huozhe. In other words, the two should have disappeared at the same time. In Ping'an County, the most likely one is the Japanese army.

But why are the Japanese army also helping Gou Huozhe find someone? Is it just pretending?

There is also the puppet army squadron leader Gou Huozhe. Is this matter really the cause of it?

Gou Huozhe spread the news of the housekeeper's disappearance, and was he sending a message to Han Feng: The Japanese army took action?

"Three brother, what should we do?" Xu Jingyou's question interrupted Han Feng's thoughts.

Han Feng looked at the assault team and said, "For the sake of the current plan, I just want to guess. I can only find Gou Huozhe first. Ping'an County is full of dangers. If there are too many people, it is easy to be exposed. Squad leader, Lao Xu, Jingyou, let's four of us enter the city overnight tonight."

"yes!"
