Chapter 10: Clues

"Nani? Demons asking for their lives? Kato Shaosa couldn't help but frown.

"Hello! That's exactly what the president of the maintenance council said. The devil officer hurriedly replied.

"Yaga! Nonsense. There are no ghosts in this world at all, where did the evil spirits come from, call me the maintenance president, and I will interrogate them myself. Kato Shaosa said with an angry face.

"Hello!" The devil officer hurriedly answered, and then beckoned into the distance.

Soon the two little devils brought the president of the Huaizhen Maintenance Association over, Kato Shaozo glanced at him, saw this guy's submissive appearance, and said a little impatiently: "Don't be afraid, I just have a few questions I want to ask you." ”

"Hello! If Taijun has any questions, just ask, the villain must know everything. The president hurriedly said.

"Hmm!" Kato Shaozo nodded slightly, and then asked in a stiff Chinese: "Last night, what happened in the Huaizhen stronghold, tell me everything you know, don't lie, you understand." ”

"Hai~!" The president hurriedly responded, and then said: "Last night, it rained heavily, and the villain went to bed early, and was suddenly awakened by a burst of gunfire in the middle of the night. ”

Kato Shaozo suddenly interjected: "You found that the stronghold was on fire, why didn't you go and put out the fire?" ”

The president hurriedly explained: "It's not that the villain doesn't go to fight the fire, he really doesn't dare to go!" Yamada Taijun once repeatedly ordered that no one should enter within 500 meters of the stronghold at night, otherwise he would be killed. Although the stronghold was on fire at that time, the situation was unknown, and the villain didn't dare to step forward! ”

Kato Shaosa nodded slightly, knowing that Jiro Yamada issued such an order to prevent the Eighth Route Army from sneaking up on the stronghold disguised as ordinary people.

"What's more......" the president continued to say: "What's more, if the Imperial Army and the Eighth Route Army are fighting, it is not easy for the villain to go up, the villain is the president of the maintenance association, and in the eyes of the Eighth Route is a traitor, and falling into their hands is a dead end." Moreover, those who are blind in the dark may also be killed by the imperial army by mistake, so they dare not come forward to rescue. ”

Kato Shaozo nodded noncommittally, and then asked: "You said that it was not the Eighth Route Army that attacked the stronghold of Huaizhen, but the evil ghosts who demanded their lives?" ”

"Hello~!" A look of horror appeared on the president's face, and he said in fear: "Although the villain didn't dare to rush to put out the fire at that time, he also wanted to see what happened, and in case the imperial army needed help, we could also help the imperial army at any time." So we quietly came to the entrance of the town and observed from afar! By this time the gunfire had stopped, and it seemed that the battle was over, but after a while, there was a scream from the direction of the stronghold, and the man kept screaming, devil! You're a devil! ”

"So you say it's a demon asking for your life?" Kato asked coldly.

"Hay! The villain is also just guessing. The president lowered his head and whispered.

"Foolishness! There are no ghosts anywhere in this world. Kato Shaosa said with a serious face.

"Hay! Taijun Kato said that there are no ghosts, so there must be no ghosts, maybe someone is pretending to be a ghost. The president hurriedly said.

"Alright, you can go." Kato Shaoza waved his hand and said impatiently.

"Thank you, Taijun." The president hurriedly answered, then turned around and hurried away.

"Bang~!" A crisp gunshot rang out, and I saw a blood mist rise from the president's back, and he fell to the ground, killing himself on the spot.

Kato Shaozo blew the green smoke from the muzzle of the gun, and said with a serious face: "Immediately report to Your Excellency Dazuo, last night the chairman of the Huaizhen Maintenance Association, in the name of the labor army, deceived the gate of the Huaizhen stronghold, the main force of the Eighth Route Army took the opportunity to capture the Huaizhen stronghold, all the defenders of the Huaizhen stronghold were broken, and the defenders of the Guozhuang stronghold were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army on the way to reinforcements, and suffered heavy losses. ”

"Your Excellency Shaozuo, this ......," the devil officer next to him said hesitantly.

"Report as I say!" Kato Shaoza said undoubtedly.

"Hello!" The devil officer didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only bow down and take the order.

There are so many people dead in the Huaizhen stronghold, it is impossible to hide it, and Kato Shaoza will inevitably be punished for this, so he can only try to find a suitable excuse to shirk his responsibility for the sake of the future, so as to strive for leniency. And if you can catch the murderer who attacked the stronghold, it will be even better, and maybe you can even atone for the crime.

At this moment, a little devil hurriedly ran over, lowered his head and said loudly: "Report to Your Excellency Shaozuo, after our careful verification, there is a truck missing in the stronghold, and it is estimated that the people who attacked the stronghold drove away." ”

Kato Shaozuo's eyes lit up suddenly, and he hurriedly said loudly: "Investigate carefully immediately, and you must find the whereabouts of this truck." ”

"Hello!" The devil officer hurriedly answered, turned around and left in a hurry.

"Yo Xi! If this truck can be found, it will definitely be able to find the person who attacked the stronghold in Huaizhen. Kato Shaozo was slightly excited, and finally had a clue, Kato Shaozo was already a little impatient.

……

After Liu Hong killed Jiro Yamada, he did drive a truck out of the Huaizhen stronghold, pulling some weapons, ammunition and some food on the truck, all of which were obtained from the devil's warehouse. It's a pity that Liu Hong has only one person, and the time is pressing, and there are still a large number of various materials in the warehouse, so it is too late to take them away, and in the end they can only be destroyed.

Before Liu Hong left, the explosives in the warehouse were placed in the two turrets, and a large number of mines were arranged, and after the little devil entered the stronghold, he accidentally touched the mines and immediately detonated these explosives, so the warehouse and the two turrets were all blown up, and the little devils who went in also suffered heavy losses.

After Liu Hong drove the truck out of the Huaizhen stronghold, he returned directly to Liuzhuang, at which time the surviving villagers had already buried the bodies of the villagers overnight, because there were too many people killed, so they could only be hastily buried.

Liu Hong informed the villagers that in order to avenge the villagers who were killed, the Eighth Route Army uprooted the Huaizhen stronghold overnight, and all the Japanese puppet troops in the stronghold were wiped out. Then Liu Hong asked them to move as soon as possible, so as not to retaliate against Liu Zhuang again, the villagers knew the cruelty of the little devil, and under Liu Hong's persuasion, the dozens of villagers who survived all evacuated Liu Zhuang and went to their relatives for refuge. Before leaving, Liu Hong distributed all the food pulled back from the car to the villagers and asked them to take it away.

Watching the backs of the villagers gradually disappear, Liu Hong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said to himself: "It is estimated that the little devil will chase after him soon, and I should also prepare a generous gift for the little devil, today I will let this place become the grave of the devil, in order to comfort Liu Zhuang and the souls of the people killed in China in heaven." ”
