War Photographer's Notebook

At 12:5 pm on December 42, Wei Ran and Tao Canhua finally cleaned the second floor of the study apartment to Meixiang's standards.

After checking the time, Meixiang switched to Japanese and said apologetically to Yumi beside her, "Yumi, I made you laugh."

"It doesn't matter." Youmei shook her head gently but didn't say much.

"How about coming downstairs with me?" Mei Xiang continued to ask, but did not tell the reason.

Hearing this, Youmei nodded obediently, without asking the reason.

"You two go back to your room and change your clothes," Mei Xiang told Wei Ran and Tao Canhua with a cold face, "Then go to the basement to reflect."

After saying that, Meixiang stood up, took Youmi and Jasmine downstairs and walked into the storage room.

Soon after, Wei Ran and Tao Canhua, who had changed into clean clothes, also walked in.

"Go in"

Mei Xiang still said with a cold face, "Since you two want to fight, you should have a good fight inside. It's best to kill one of them. If both of them are dead, I will be quiet. Jasmine, cut off the electricity in the basement, and then turn off the electricity in the basement." The entrance is locked."

"Yes"

Jasmine responded expressionlessly, bent down and pulled out a wooden board from under a table that was large enough to cover the entrance, then opened the drawer and took out a padlock as big as a mooncake.

Wei Ran and Tao Canhua looked at each other, and then walked obediently down the steps into the dark basement.

Without waiting for the two of them to reach the end, Jasmine, at Mei Xiang's signal, covered the entrance and exit with a wooden board that was half the size of a door panel, and then used the door bolts that came with the board and the surrounding bolts. The holes were pinned together and locked with the big lock.

"Miss Yumei"

Meixiang took the key from Jasmine and handed it directly to Yumi. At the same time, she said in Japanese, "You will keep the key. It is up to you to decide when to let them out. Please forgive them for their recklessness."

After a moment's hesitation, Yumi finally took the copper key. She finally realized that whether she was cleaning the second floor just now or closing the small dark room now, to be honest, it was all for her to see.As for the purpose, it was just that he was worried that he would be angry with the two unlucky people below, or rather, he was worried that he would be angry with Wei Ran.

Thinking of this, Youmei felt a little envious of Wei Ran in the basement.But at the same time, she secretly shook her head helplessly.

Originally, she had planned to go to the basement to take a look tonight, but under the current situation, it was obviously impossible.

After a brief period of disappointment, Youmei felt that this was not bad. Although she was a little regretful that she could not go to the basement tonight, she happened to take this rare opportunity to visit Wei Ran and Tao Canhua's room.

"Sister Meixiang, I can keep the key, but when will I let them out?"

"Lock them up for at least one night."

Meixiang said with a bit of hatred, "As for when they will be released, it depends on when sister Youmei will forgive them for their rudeness."

"I have forgiven them." Yumei gently held Meixiang's hand, "Then just lock her up for one night and let her out early tomorrow morning."

"Then just listen to sister Youmi." Meixiang sighed, "Let's go upstairs and rest."

"Okay" Yumi nodded obediently.

"Turn off the power downstairs," Meixiang deliberately told Jasmine in Japanese, obviously expressing her attitude.

Jasmine glanced helplessly at the locked entrance to the basement, hesitated for a moment, and finally opened the electrical box on the wall and disconnected the electric switch inside.

"Lock the door to the storage room, too, to prevent someone from secretly closing the switch for them." Mei Xiang continued to instruct in Japanese quite seriously.

Jasmine gritted her teeth and finally locked the door and handed the key to Mei Xiang.

He handed the key to Yumi, who hesitated for a moment and finally took the second key.

After Mei Xiang kept apologizing, she arrived on the third floor. After returning to her room, Yu Mei threw away the two keys in her hand, with a contemptuous sneer in her mouth, and silently cursed an idiot.

She finished washing up unhurriedly. Youmei lay on the bed and waited patiently for the time to pass. However, she had no idea that in the basement, Wei Ran and Tao Canhua were already lying on the sofa next to the stage. , fell asleep one step earlier than her.

She didn't even know that at this late night, two large packages of leaflets had already left the study apartment in Walker's car along with Tang Juechen's body.

At this time, in the dark streets of the Japanese Concession, there were some hawkers, coolies, and even middle school students who were busy working during the day. They were holding handbills and paste in groups of two in the cold winter night. Tong skillfully used those articles about resisting Japan and saving the country to stick them firmly on those sun-loving big-character posters on the streets, as well as in some alleys, on street light poles, in front of movie theaters, and even on the gates of Zhongyuan Company.

At 01:30 in the middle of the night, Youmei left her room again, walked quietly to the first floor, and first pried open Tao Canhua's door.

Using the beam of a flashlight, Yumei searched the room carefully. Unfortunately, although there were many things in this room, most of them were various traditional Chinese musical instruments and books that she could not understand at all. Calligraphy.

Unwilling to give up, she took some photos of the subtraction music. After Yumei left the room, she pried open the door of Wei Ran's room.

However, when she saw the bottle of aphrodisiac and kidney-tonifying medicine and the romance-themed newspaper on the bedside table, she could not help but subconsciously feel a slight pain in her fingers.

After a moment's hesitation, she finally took out her gloves from her pocket, put them on, and rummaged through every cabinet and drawer.

Unfortunately, after rummaging around, the only thing she found was a small PPK pistol pressed under the pillow. The rest were more astringent information stuffed all over the room.

After leaving Wei Ran's room with a gloomy look on her face, Youmei carefully opened the door of the storage room, and then carefully lay down on the locked wooden board.

Although she couldn't hear it very clearly, she could still barely hear the snoring one after another.After a moment's hesitation, she stood up and walked to the door, opened the electrical box and closed the switch.

When she lay down on the wooden board again, which had already let out light, she also heard the bewildered conversation between Wei Ran and Tao Canhua.

After getting up and leaving the storage room, Yumi returned to her room on the third floor without even locking the door.

In the blink of an eye, it was already past seven o'clock when Yumei got up early the next morning. This was definitely an early rise in the past, but for the members of the Chunhua Opera Troupe in the study apartment, they had already had breakfast. They were all in the banquet hall on the second floor, starting to practice dancing to the piano music played by Qiushi.

After washing up slowly and changing her clothes, Yumei then went downstairs and handed the key to the basement to Jasmine with a reserved expression. She opened the wooden board leading to the basement. Immediately afterwards, she saw Wei Ran and Tao Canhua ran out in no particular order and each got into the bathroom.

Suppressing her smile, Yumi turned around and went up to the second floor. At the same time, she secretly thought about how to go to the basement and check out Jasmine and Qiushi's room on the second floor.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the young people who had just met at the dance yesterday arrived at the study apartment on time. Under the guidance of Mei Xiang and Jasmine, they began to learn the foxtrot in earnest to the piano music played by Qiushi.

Yumi, who was watching in the living room on the second floor, was also secretly remembering the identities of these dancing students.From what she knew, these young students seemed to be the children of businessmen, and a considerable number of them were even the children of Japanese expatriates.

Not only that, even Meixiang’s teaching, in order to facilitate understanding, will be repeated in Japanese from time to time.

It was from these details that Yumi couldn't help but start to wonder if they were looking in the wrong direction.

Just when she was secretly shaken, Second Sister You also sent someone to bring Mei Xiang's car back, and also sent a cake said to be brought back by her man from Peking as a thank you gift.

Before Wei Ran, who still had palm prints on his face, could send the driver away, a motorcycle drove into the yard.

Immediately afterwards, Youmi, who was by the window on the second floor, saw Wei Ran running into the building. Then she heard the messy footsteps and saw Wei Ran running upstairs.

Perhaps the lesson learned last night was profound enough, but this time Wei Ran didn't dare to look in her direction at all. He just walked quickly to the edge of the banquet hall and waved to Mei Xiang, who was instructing the students on their movements. .

"What's wrong?" Meixiang asked in a low voice as Wei Ran took two steps towards the living room. Yumei, who was holding a teacup not far away, also secretly pricked up her ears.

"Mr. Walker's men came and asked if Walker was here. He said he hadn't gone back since last night."

Wei Ran paused and continued to ask, "It was Walker who sent the geisha back last night. I was wondering if the two of them were busy. Do we need to cover for Mr. Walker?"

"What kind of cover are you using?" Mei Xiang waved her hand impatiently, "Let him go to the Golden Boat Dance Hall to ask, unless there is really something important."

"Okay," Wei Ran responded happily, turned around and ran downstairs again.

Soon, the German trading company downstairs.The man on the motorcycle was also sent away by Wei Ran, and Mei Xiang continued to teach the students how to dance seriously with Jasmine.

Yumei, on the other hand, felt a little bad premonition. Meixiang and others didn't know about Walker, but she knew clearly what the Jew had done.

Thinking of this, she couldn't sit still anymore, so she simply got up and returned to the third floor. After locking the door, she emptied the suitcase. Then she shook the generator with one hand, pressed the button of the radio station with the other, and quickly sent a message. Brief telegram.

Before she could get a reply, the roar of the motorcycle engine came from downstairs again. When she opened the window and walked to the balcony, she immediately saw the German who had been here half an hour ago driving again. The motorcycle drove into the yard and then ran into the building.

When she hurriedly closed her suitcase and left the room, the piano music on the second floor had stopped. Then, she heard Mei Xiang ask in surprise, "Missing? Why is she missing?"

"My meal."

"Cousin, you ask in German, his Chinese sounds too hard to listen to." Mei Xiang said.

"Why is Volker missing?" Wei Ran immediately asked in slightly anxious German.

"I went to the Golden Boat Dance Hall and found the geisha he sent back yesterday."

The German guy who smelled of body odor said anxiously, "But she said that Walker went back after sending her to her yesterday and gave her his business card."

"So he didn't go back to the foreign bank?" Wei Ran asked, "Did he go somewhere to have fun?"

"impossible"

The German said firmly, "We have a very important business to discuss with a business partner today. Mr. Volker has been working hard on this matter for a long time. Even if he goes to find a woman, he will come back on time. "

"But he hasn't been to our place since he left yesterday." After Wei Ran finished speaking, he translated the conversation to Mei Xiang.

"Someya, yes, Mr. Someya."

Meixiang said as if she remembered something, "Cousin, you can drive him to Mr. Someya now and ask him if he is with them. I remember that Walker occasionally goes to Mr. Someya to play cards."

"I'll take him to find him right away"

After Wei Ran finished speaking, he immediately switched to German and greeted the Germans who came to the door to come downstairs. One drove a car and the other left the apartment on a motorcycle.

Walker is missing?

Standing at the corner of the stairs on the second and third floors, Yumei muttered to herself, turned around and ran upstairs to her room again, and sent another telegram.

There is no doubt that Mr. Walker and his car will not be found in a short time. In the edge area adjacent to the Japanese Concession and the French Concession, Little Su’s mother, who got up early, took a look at the big smoke shops on the other side of the road. The big-character anti-Japanese and national salvation posters were once again posted on the door of the museum, and leaflets were scattered all over the floor. The curtains were closed again with a smile.

On December 12th, Wei Ran worked with Walker's assistant for the entire day. Even Mei Xiang helped call the guests who attended the dance yesterday and inquired one by one.

It was "a pity" that until Wei Ran returned to the study apartment at around [-] o'clock in the evening, the missing Walker and his car were still not found as expected.

That night, because of the disappearance of her friend, Mei Xiang rarely went out to dance. Everyone in the study apartment, after being questioned carefully by Mei Xiang to no avail, went back to their rooms to rest early.

It was 01:30 in the middle of the night again, and Yumi touched it again and quietly slipped into the storage room.

Gently closing the door, Yumei walked into the dark basement quietly.I waited until I walked down the steps before turning on the flashlight.

Unfortunately, as the flashlight beam swept over, the basement could be seen at a glance. Except for the stage that was less than half a meter above the floor, there was no place where secrets could be hidden.

After carefully checking all the tables and sofas in the basement, Yumi found only two silver coins that had fallen into the gaps of the sofa at some point, and a bunch of silver coins in the gaps under the sofa that were covered with dust. A key that belongs to someone whose purpose is unknown.

Unwilling to give up, Yumi knelt on the edge of the stage, holding up a flashlight and pressing her face against the gap in the stage to observe carefully.

"So it's hidden here!"

Yumi snorted. Although the gap between the wooden boards on the side of the stage was only half a leek leaf wide, when she shined the flashlight along the gap, she could vaguely see that there seemed to be another layer of partitions inside. There seemed to be a lot of white canvas bags lying around.

After looking around, Yumei carefully lifted the big red carpet on the stage.Sure enough, there was a cover that could be opened in the center under the carpet.

After struggling to open the one-meter-square wooden cover, Yumi was so frightened that she almost screamed when she saw what was inside. Then she sat down on the stage, and the flashlight in her hand was gone. Knock it carefully on the bottom plate, and it will make a slight muffled sound.

Even the wooden cover would have been slammed back to its original position if she hadn't been able to use her toes to support it.After calming down, Yumei pointed the flashlight at the thing under the cover as quickly as possible. Under the burnt yellow beam, what was placed under the cover was a fake mouse with exquisite workmanship and lifelike appearance.

This half-meter-long fake mouse, not counting its tail, was balled up in the dark space. In its arms, it was holding a gold ingot as big as a dumpling, and there were many scattered around. Silver dollar.

Secretly breathing a sigh of relief, Yumi, who was frightened and her heart was pounding, turned off the flashlight and listened for a moment. Until she was sure that the movement just now did not attract anyone's attention, she turned on the flashlight again. After some observation, she carefully opened the flashlight. There are wooden boards on all sides of the hidden compartment that can be lifted.

When she suppressed her excitement and shined the beam of the flashlight in, she found that there were canvas bags the size of pillows stuffed inside.

Carefully pulling out a heavy canvas bag, Yumi untied the rope that tied the opening, only to find that it only contained large and small pieces of quicklime.

After Yumi restored the bag to its original shape, after some hesitation, she finally carefully slipped in through the narrow gap.

If the rescued person they want to find is hidden here, and if the rescued person has turned into a corpse, then these quicklime is undoubtedly the best way to preserve the corpse.

However, as the saying goes, the disappointment is as great as the hope. When she crawled around under the stage that was filled with dust and lime dust, she did not find any corpses or radio stations. There were only pockets of quicklime and pockets of quicklime. Lime powder scattered everywhere.

And obviously, no one comes here at all. Let alone people, not even a bug is seen here because of the presence of lime.

Climbing out again with a gray face, Yumi took off her gloves and rubbed her eyes that were blurred by the lime, and restored the cover and carpet to their original state.

Standing in front of the huge mirror and adjusting her appearance, Yumi tried to push the large mirror, then walked to both sides to observe, then shook her head and walked upstairs.

The mirror couldn't even shake. It stretched from the floor to the ceiling on both sides. One side of the mirror frame was close to the wall, and the other side was tightly blocked by the corner of the stair railing. It was obviously impossible to hide anything behind the mirror.

So far, in this building, the only rooms that have not been searched are Jasmine and Qiushi's rooms, as well as a few dormitories of Yang Ma, Uncle Meng, and the members of the troupe.

Could it be in the yard or garage?

Thinking of this, Yumei immediately hurried back to the room upstairs, put on a woolen coat, and walked out of the hall carefully.

Thanks to the moon outside, she could see everything in the yard clearly. Likewise, Wei Ran, who was hiding behind the curtains when he heard the noise, could see her clearly.

Thinking of this, Wei Ran smiled, stood up, turned on the light and staggered out of the room, but without even closing the door, he walked into the bathroom diagonally facing the stairs and turned on the light.

Not to mention, he didn't even close the bathroom door before taking off his big pants and sitting on the toilet, humming hard.

In the yard, when the lights in the sanitary room were lit, Yumi immediately hid in the shadows under the flower beds.

A moment later, when she saw through a glass window the restroom light on the stairs on the first floor, the restroom door that was not closed at all, and Wei Ran sitting on the toilet, she couldn't help but grit her teeth.

There is no doubt that unless she climbs to the second floor and has a way to open the window that is locked from the inside, if she wants to go upstairs, she will have to wait for Wei Ran to finish pooping, or even wait for him Just fall asleep.

Wrapping her woolen coat tightly around her body, Yumei looked around, then bent over and moved to the boiler room on the north side of the small building.

It's a pity that the boiler room has been locked by Uncle Meng before going to bed, so it's impossible to go in to keep warm.

After carefully inspecting the large water tanks used to hold briquettes against the north wall, Yumi walked carefully around to the north side of the small building.

Although she was separated from the window, she could still hear Wei Ran's grunting and the crackling sound of excretion as he pooped hard.

Suppressing the nausea in her heart, Yumei continued to walk to the other end of the small building. After taking a quick look at the two stone lamps wrapped in the dead branches of rose flowers in the flower bed, she decisively turned around and touched them back, ducking in. in the garage.

Fortunately, although the garage was not much warmer, the car was not locked.

Carefully opening the car door, Yumei took off her gloves and touched her cold face after getting in. Then she turned on the flashlight again and checked carefully. From time to time, she would get out of the car and take a look at Wei Ran's room, waiting patiently. Then he went back to his room and continued to sleep.

After spending more than half an hour together, Wei Ran felt that Yumei was almost cool in the yard, so he was willing to leave the bathroom and moved his already sore legs back to the room.

Almost at the same time as he turned off the light, Yumi also trembled and got into the door. Amidst the smell of shit that filled the room on the first floor, she took off the shoes she had taken off before entering the door, wearing only a pair of socks, and covered them with her hands. Nose escaped to the third floor.

After she leaned on the radiator to warm up her numb body from the cold, Yumi took off her stained clothes and threw them into a suitcase. Then she shook the generator again and sent out a message saying "Nothing abnormal, please return." .” telegram—she had had enough of life here.

There was nothing to say all night. In the early morning of December 12th, the children of the opera troupe got up on time at five o'clock as usual. After breakfast at 7:05, they went into the basement to start their routine opera lessons as usual. Practice.

"I seemed to hear something last night." Tao Canhua asked Wei Ran in a low voice by the fireplace on the first floor, who was sitting opposite and drinking tea.

"I got up and went to the toilet," Wei Ranhun replied nonchalantly. "I knew when you went to the toilet," Tao Canhua continued, "I mean before that."

"I guess the rats are making trouble again."

Wei Ran grinned and laughed, and Tao Canhua also smiled. Apparently he understood Wei Ran's hint and lowered his voice and said, "I guess it's because I just went to the basement. It seems like the stage was tampered with."

"Is there something hidden in there?"

"may not"

Tao Canhua nodded matter-of-factly, "The Rat Lord, which theater troupe doesn't offer a Rat Lord? I spent 20 yuan to get it from the master. Just watch, this rat is making trouble, we This troupe will definitely make money."

hope so.
Wei Ran muttered secretly. It was already December 12th, and there were only about 7 hours left before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. In other words, by tomorrow afternoon at the latest, the Japanese army would be stationed in the British and French concessions. By then, There will definitely be chaos in this concession.

In this case, the troupe still makes money?As long as the people on this floor can save their lives, it's a good thing.

In these swirling thoughts, time passed by minute by second. However, until 09:30 in the morning, when Meixiang got up, Yumi still did not go downstairs. Instead, it was Jasmine who sent down the news about her—— Yumi has a cold and a fever and now needs to be taken to the hospital.

This isn't anti-freeze either.
Wei Ran muttered to himself and quickly changed his clothes. When Jasmine carried Youmei down under the escort of Mei Xiang, he had already started the car and was ready.

"Which hospital should we go to?" Wei Ran asked as he drove the car out of the small hospital.

"Go to the German hospital, it's close." Mei Xiang said decisively.

Hearing this, Wei Ran immediately increased the accelerator. Of course he knew that Mei Xiang was talking about the German hospital, which was the hospital where Walker's sister and Andy worked. When passing by there before, Jasmine had given her a He pointed the way.

After rushing all the way to the hospital, Jasmine ran inside with Yumi, who had a high fever on her back, and Meixiang followed closely behind.

By the time Wei Ran parked the car, he could no longer find them.

However, he was not in a hurry, and simply lit a cigarette at the door, stopped a German female nurse in a white coat to chat, and learned through insinuations that Dr. Dagmar had left his job as early as last spring. Where.Not only that, but other medical staff in the department she was responsible for also resigned at the same time.

"Where has she gone?"

Wei Ran muttered to himself, and waited until he finished smoking. Then he inquired all the way and found Youmi who had just finished the butt injection, Mei Xiang who was accompanying her, and Jasmine who was about to take medicine.

"I didn't even have time to ask on the way, why did sister Youmei have a fever?" Wei Ran asked with concern.

"She said she felt bored last night and opened the window for a while," Meixiang explained helplessly.

"It's not just a while, it's more than 40 minutes."

Wei Ran muttered to himself, but what came out of his mouth were complaints mixed with distress, such as "How dare you open the window to get some air in this cold winter?"

"I guess I'm homesick."

Mei Xiang followed the topic and guessed, "Although there are many children of the same age in our book apartment, there are really too few who can communicate with her, not to mention a dog-skin plaster like you that pesters them every day."

"Cousin, you can't accuse me wrongly."

Wei Ran pointed to the sky and said, "Ever since sister Youmei secretly turned on the light in the basement for us the night before yesterday, I have decided not to bully her."

“It’s best this way”

Meixiang sighed again, "I'm already worried about how to explain it to Mr. Tian when he comes back. Alas, it's been such a troubled time. First, Mr. Walker went somewhere unknown, and then Yumi also caught the cold, and I didn't even know. What will happen tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow the Japanese will invade the concession."

Wei Ran covered the tattoo on the tiger's mouth on his left hand and muttered secretly in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it at all.

"Let's talk about tomorrow's matters tomorrow."

Wei Ran glanced at Youmei, who was lying on the bed with her whole face flushed, and proactively suggested, "What should we do later? Should sister Youmei go back to rest or should we let her live here?"

"The doctor just said that the situation is not too serious and you can go back, but you have to come over tomorrow and the day after to get an injection."

"Then go back"

Wei Ran hurriedly said, "Living in this hospital is not as comfortable as at home. After I send you back home later, I will buy an old hen and let Yang Ma stew it for Sister Youmei to replenish it."

"I guess you're thoughtful," Meixiang sighed, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on Yumi's forehead, "Have you found Mr. Walker?"

"I haven't had time to ask yet," Wei Ran replied immediately, "I'll go over and ask together later."

Meixiang thought for a while and said, "If it doesn't work out, I'll take Walker's assistant to Mr. Sometani and ask him to help find someone in the newspaper. Now I'm worried that something will happen to him."

"I'll ask his opinion when the time comes." Wei Ran agreed happily.

After Jasmine came back from getting the medicine, Wei Ran drove the three of them back to the study apartment. He immediately drove to Matheson and found Walker's assistant. After asking about the fruitless search, he took the initiative to talk about Mei Xiang's proposal. .

Wei Ran was willing to provide such help, and Walker's assistant naturally had no objections. Without thinking, he took the money and got into the car driven by Wei Ran and rushed to Someya's home in the Japanese Concession as quickly as possible.

Because it was the weekend, Mr. Sometani was at home. After Wei Ran told Mei Xiang's suggestion, Sometani Yukio simply agreed and said that it could be arranged today, and the revelation of the missing person would appear in the newspaper early tomorrow morning. superior.

After finishing this matter, when Wei Ran was returning with Volker's assistant, he stepped on the brakes at the entrance of Quanyechang, called a cigarette vendor over, and bought two packs from him. cigarettes and got a bonus pack of matches.

After sending Volker's assistant back to the foreign bank, Wei Ran went to San Guan Er to buy two old hens and some Chinese medicine that could be used to make soup, and then returned to his apartment.

After handing the old hen and the herbs to Yang's mother, Wei Ran sat down on the sofa by the fireplace, took out the box of matches, opened them, and took out a match wrapped with a note.

Expand this article, it only says "The person has been buried, the feng shui is excellent." eight small characters.

Finally, he took a look at the matchbox to make sure there was nothing inside. Wei Ran threw the note in his hand into the fireplace, then threw in two pieces of firewood to hold it down. Then he threw the match on the table, got up and returned to his room. Inside, the gauze curtain was closed smoothly.

First, he opened the big pack of cigarettes and put them into the cigarette box. After some hesitation, Wei Ran opened the pack of Camel again.

What he didn't expect was that unlike the normal packs of Camel cigarettes from the previous few days, this pack of Camel cigarettes actually contained two negatives.

Without thinking, Wei Ran took out the food box and threw the unpacked pack of Camel cigarettes in, then turned on the desk lamp, put one of the negatives up, and tried hard to distinguish the small words recorded in the negatives:

"A newspaper clipping: Japanese imperialism announced that it had 'occupied' Shandong Province. However, I, an anti-fascist journalist, was traveling freely in this 'Japanese-occupied area', but I met someone in this area. Thousands of armed anti-Japanese fighters and people saw the tattered helmets and broken "sun flags" of the Japanese "imperial army" everywhere in this area.

The things I have personally experienced are unimaginable to many people, if someone does not believe these facts.”

Without continuing to distinguish the remaining small words recorded on the film, Wei Ran put it into the food box and then picked up the second film.

"A letter to compatriots: The Jinmen puppet government is full of running dogs of Japan. Japan wants them to be puppets to rule us indirectly! Slave us! Numb us!
Our brothers and sisters are suffering unprecedented humiliation. Jinmen Suburban County has been repeatedly raided by Japan's Sanguang. Food has been robbed, men have been arrested and sent to Japan to work as laborers, and women have been tortured."

Gritting his teeth, he put the negative in the food box and put it away. He finally knew where the anti-Japanese articles in the underground printing room came from.

I don't know how much effort this square and narrow negative encountered and how many dangers it encountered before it was finally sent to the printing room and printed into leaflets by Andy and the three girls.

After that, these leaflets were transported to the Japanese Concession and posted in every corner by nameless people at great risk - just to awaken the enslaved compatriots.

but
With Walker's disappearance and Yumi's investigation here.The suspicions of everyone in this book apartment have basically been cleared, but how long can the underground printing room last?Maybe tomorrow, the Japanese will enter the concession, then...
Wei Ran couldn't help but sigh again, but at the same time, he also remembered the job requirements that Mei Xiang had given to him when he came here for an interview.

Silently taking out the small PPK pistol, Wei Ran took it apart and carefully inspected it to confirm that it was normal. He reached out and took out a magazine full of bullets from the food box, replaced the original magazine, and then collected the food. box, making final preparations.
