"No way, look for me carefully, I must find the body." When Ichiro Aoki learned that the attacker had disappeared, he was furious and ordered a careful search of the area. Hundreds of Japanese soldiers rushed into the scorched area before it got dark, rummaging through the rubble that was still radiating heat. The hole dug by Lu Yuan temporarily was under the rubble, and these Japanese soldiers who just wanted to end the search early naturally could not find it.

The sky finally darkened, the Japanese searched twice to no avail, and they still had a large number of charred corpses at the scene to be identified, Aoki Ichiro had no choice but to leave some vigilant troops at the scene, and then announced the end of the operation. Reporters from various countries outside the Hongkou District showed their abilities, and not long after the end of the operation on the Japanese side, some of these reporters already knew part of the inside story through the insider.

"What? He's dead? This is impossible..."A member of the Shanghai underground party who had worked hard to get the news quickly passed on the news he had found to Xu Huanshan, but Xu Huanshan couldn't accept the news for a while, and he couldn't accept that the extremely brave Lu Yuan would die in Hongkou District. But regardless of whether Xu Huanshan believed the news or not, reporters from various countries gathered outside the Hongkou District to smash the Hongkou District, and indeed saw with their own eyes that a large number of Japanese troops had withdrawn from the Hongkou District. Xu Huanshan knew that if it weren't for the fact that the Japanese army had already achieved its goal, they would not have taken the initiative to withdraw their troops.

According to Xu Huanshan's idea, he was originally going to send people into Hongkou District to investigate Lu Yuan's news, but after a large number of Japanese troops withdrew, Hongkou District was still on strict alert. Xu Huanshan had no choice but to give up this idea for the time being, but he did not withdraw this secret stronghold, because in his subconscious, Lu Yuan was still alive. Xu Huanshan's hunch is accurate, Lu Yuan is indeed alive, but Lu Yuan's current condition is not very good.

Hiding in a tunnel with a depth of more than 3 meters, Lu Yuan should be safe at the moment, but he was injured, and under such a dark and damp layer of soil, it didn't help Lu Yuan's injury much. Lu Yuan was hit by shrapnel from two shells on his back, and a wound was cut by a Japanese bayonet under his ribs, and there were many abrasions and bruises on his body.

Aoki Ichiro had a premonition that the attacker was not dead, so he left part of his troops to continue to monitor the ruins of the fire, but the whole night passed, and what Aoki Ichiro had been worried about did not happen, and after thinking about it repeatedly, Aoki Ichiro had to admit that he was too careful, and the attacker may have really died in the fire yesterday. After two days of fierce fighting, the Japanese army did not achieve anything worthy of praise, and the special high class in charge of the final end had to talk about Kim Doo-hwan's corpse and put what happened in Hongkou District on the head of the South Korean National Salvation Army.

Originally, the special high school wanted to use Kim Doo-hwan's corpse to confuse the public and take the opportunity to set a trap, but they didn't expect that the Shanghai underground party already knew the inside story, and the special high school finally had to pour this basin of muddy water on the body of the South Korean National Salvation Army. Time passed quickly, after the Japanese combat units withdrew from the Hongkou area one after another, three days passed quickly, and just when the military police headquarters thought that the crisis had passed, Lu Yuan, who had been hiding in the tunnel, could not bear it, and he was about to move.

The Special High School confirmed that the attackers had been killed, and a large number of Japanese expatriates who had returned to Hongkou District began to show the spirit of Japanese solidarity, and almost all the men participated in the work of clearing the rubble. The ruins of the fire, including two streets, were quickly cleared by more than 10,000 male Japanese expatriates, and no one noticed that there was suddenly one more person among them at the crowded cleanup site. In the melee in the previous two days, many Japanese expatriates in Hongkou District were killed, and Lu Yuan casually fabricated an identity and successfully passed the investigation of the military police.

For this big operation, Lu Yuan prepared more than three material supply points in Hongkou District, and in the material supply points that Lu Yuan hid deep under the soil layer, there were not only weapons and ammunition, but also medicine and water. Three days was not enough time for Lu Yuan's injuries to fully recover, but it was enough for the Japanese army in Shanghai to relax their vigilance. The sky gradually darkened, and Lu Yuan, who was as disgraced as everyone else around him, carried a shovel and moved slowly through the street with the flow of people, and the inn not far in front of him was where Lu Yuan lived temporarily.

The innkeeper is a middle-aged woman named Michiko, who, unlike other Japanese, has a husband who is Chinese and Michiko is a Catholic. Lu Yuan, who is known as Kobayashi Koichi, is now playing a homeless Japanese young man, and Michiko, who provided free drinking water to the clean-up site, accidentally learned about it, so she invited Lu Yuan to live temporarily in the inn she opened. "I'm back" Lu Yuan entered the door, and like most Japanese people, he first saluted Michiko behind the inn counter.

"Ah, it's our Xiaolin-kun who is back, let's take a bath first, and we'll eat later." Michiko seemed to like Lu Yuan, a taciturn young man, first smiled and urged Lu Yuan to take a bath, and then motioned to the inn's maid to bring up the food that had been prepared a long time ago, under the reflection of the lights in the inn, this warm feeling made Lu Yuan think of his family. There are less than 100 killing points left to reach the final state, and Lu Yuan, who changed into clean clothes after taking a bath, suddenly has some gains and losses, and he is a little worried that even if he gets enough killing points, he will not be able to return to his family.

But things have come to this point, and Lu Yuan himself has no way to stop the operation, after all, it is now 43 years, and the Japanese army is about to collapse. The night was dark, and Lu Yuan, who had eaten dinner, sat alone on the rooftop of the inn in a daze as he did yesterday. The innkeeper is different from other Japanese, although Lu Yuan entered Hongkou District with the purpose of his trip to shoot the Japanese, he knew that not all Japanese deserved to die, such as Michiko, the owner of this inn.

"Auntie, can I talk to you?" Lu Yuan, who finally made a decision in his heart, decided to make peace with the other party after Michiko also went to the rooftop. Lu Yuan's title made the corners of Michiko's eyes jump slightly, but she didn't have any change in expression, just knelt down on the mat that Lu Yuan stretched out and pushed over. Lu Yuan sat cross-legged on the mat, and there were not only teapots and teacups on the small table in front of him, but also a pistol equipped with *.

"This title of yours reminds me of my husband, only Chinese would use this title when addressing older women, and this is how my husband called my mother when he first came to my house." Michiko picked up the teapot on the small table with an unchanged expression, and filled the teacup in front of Lu Yuan with tea, as for the pistol next to the teacup, Michiko chose to ignore it. Michiko's reaction was somewhat unexpected by Lu Yuan, and he had already heard the meaning of Michiko's words just now, and the other party might have seen that he was a Chinese.

The puzzled expression on Lu Yuan's face made Michiko suddenly chuckle, "Kobayashi Koichi is a child I know, although we don't see each other every day, but I can be sure that he doesn't look like you at all. Michiko's explanation made Lu Yuan suddenly realize that daring was a flaw he exposed.

"I am a Chinese, and what happened in Hongkou District a few days ago was done by me." Lu Yuan groaned for a while, and simply told the truth to buy Michiko, just looking at Michiko's way of drinking tea, he didn't seem to be surprised by Lu Yuan's words. Lu Yuan shook his head secretly in his heart, and then said, "Auntie, you are a good person, a good person should have a good reward, I won't come back for dinner at noon tomorrow, you'd better leave Hongkou District temporarily before noon, Hongkou District will be very unsafe tomorrow." ”

"Child, hatred only makes people lose their minds, you are still young, you should not sink into hatred." What Japan has done to China, how can Michiko, who once had a Chinese husband, not know. The speculation that had long been in her heart was finally confirmed by Lu Yuan himself, Michiko's words were not to make Lu Yuan forget that she was a Chinese, she just didn't want to see a young man like Lu Yuan lose his life early.

"Auntie, you don't understand, there are some things I have to do." Lu Yuan, who felt the warmth from Michiko's words, suddenly laughed, and raised his left hand, which had been placed a few times, and five large yellow croaker gold bars appeared in Michiko's sight. "Auntie, you are a good person, there is an old Chinese saying that being a good person has a good reward. I don't need these things anymore, rather than being finally taught by the gendarmerie or the special high school, it is better to give them to you, at least so that you can live the rest of your life better. ”

This night, on the rooftop of Michiko's hotel, Lu Yuan and Michiko chatted for a long time, and no third person knew what the two of them talked about. Early the next morning, Lu Yuan still followed the other men in this street to clean up the rubble, but not long after Lu Yuan left, Michiko, whose eyes were red and swollen, quietly left Hongkou District with two domestic servants in the hotel.

"The man said that the contents of this box were given to you free of charge, but he told me that you must give me five gold bars." When Michiko handed the box to Xu Huanshan, she didn't know what the box contained, but the subsequent explosion in Hongkou District made Michiko finally cry bitterly, because she knew that she might never see the child who accompanied her in the night and looked up at the starry sky again.
