With a new clue, Gao Jiu took Jia Liu and others to turn back. They soon found out that there were two merchants from Changsha, Hunan, here, one of which had been closed for the past two days. Gao Jiu also found out that this Changsha businessman was very diligent and had never closed for the past few days.

Gao Jiu felt that there was inspiration. He asked the shop next to him and told him that the owner had not seen anyone in the past two days and there was no one at home.

Gao Jiu felt a little headache again. He couldn't find the owner of the store, and the matter behind him was not easy to deal with.

Gao Jiu did not give up. He showed his ID and told them that he was not a local security army, not a person who came to cause trouble, but was entrusted by his friend to find this Hunan businessman.

Gao Jiu also took out a few pieces of ocean and gave the shop owner next to him, hoping that he could provide clues.

The shop owner next to him said that he really didn't know, and he didn't dare to charge Gao Jiu's money, saying that this Changsha businessman might go back to his hometown.

Gao Jiu and others could not find out the news, so they left the store helplessly.

At this point, Gao Jiu and others had no choice but to do anything, and everyone was a little discouraged. Jia Liu said, "Jiu Master, what's wrong with the Kuomintang army? There is no need to spend so much effort on them."

Ning Wen and Ning Wu also found it meaningless. Ning Wen said: "Jiu Ye, even if you find the shop owner in Changsha, those people may not be here. Let's just leave this county town and go directly to the prisoner-of-war camp."

Gao Jiu did agree to Zhou Mingshan to help find someone. Although he didn't say anything, he still hoped to help Zhou Mingshan solve this problem.

Now that he has seen some hope, Gao Jiu naturally refused to leave. He decided to stay in Lanxi County for one day and come again tomorrow to continue inquiring about the whereabouts of the store owner. If it really doesn't work, he won't continue to delay here. He will leave Lanxi County before 6:00 pm tomorrow.

They decided to go to have a meal first and then find an inn to live in. Gao Jiu and others came to a tavern. Just as the food was ordered, they came to the door alone.

Gao Jiu felt happy when he saw this person. He had seen this person, and he was a guy from the shop he was asking about just now. After this guy came over, Gao Jiu understood what he meant. He must be able to provide information and wanted to get the reward from the ocean from Gao Jiu.

Sure enough, the guy said, "Dear soldiers! I know someone, he may know the residence of the shop owner you are looking for."

This guy was vaguely speaking, it was to see if Gao Jiu and others were willing to pay for the news.

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "Brother, I'll trouble you." As he said that, he took out five oceans from his pocket and placed them on the table.

The guy's eyes shone, and he hurriedly took it over and put it carefully in his pocket. He stopped asking for the person who might have known the news and said directly: "The shop owner in Changsha has a relative living in Nanchenggener, and I'll take you there."

Not long after, Gao Jiu and others found the address of the Changsha merchant. This was a courtyard not far from the southern city wall. It was relatively quiet and indeed a good place for Tibetans.

After finding the place, Gao Jiu and others did not take action immediately. He first sent Jia Liu out of the city to inform Guo Hengming and others to pick him up outside the city. The few of them went to take a bath first and prepared to start the action tonight.

Things in the world are often like this. If a thing starts smoothly, in most cases the whole process will be smooth. If it starts with bumpy and bumpy, there will often be various troubles later.

Just as Gao Jiu and others were taking a bath, the Japanese military police team in Lanxi County received a notice. After reading the notice, the military police captain immediately ordered the city gate to close the city wall and block the city wall, and no one was allowed to leave the county town.

Then, the commander of the military police convened a joint meeting of the military police, the security army brigade, the police station, the county government and other departments, and decided to start a large-scale search in the city tomorrow and require inspections of every household.

The reason why the search started tomorrow during the day is because they lacked manpower and were unable to move at night, so they were prone to blind spots. They decided to mobilize some security troops stationed outside the city and the security teams of surrounding villages and towns to enter the city to conduct investigations. The search for the entire city will be on time at 8:00 tomorrow morning.

Why did such an emergency suddenly occur?

It turned out that when they were covering Qin Feng and others across the Lanxi River that day, the commando team formed by the 792nd Regiment was dispersed by the puppet cavalry. In addition to the 12 commando teams who returned to the 792nd Regiment, some commando team members also survived and found a place to hide.

A commando was injured in the leg and hid in an abandoned brick kiln for two days. He was so hungry that he could not stand it anymore, so he insisted on walking to a nearby village, trying to find something to eat, but was seen by a traitor in the village and ran to the nearby Japanese stronghold and reported to him. A Japanese took the special forces member with a dozen puppet troops.

The special forces member could not stand the torture of the Japanese and puppet troops, so he explained what he knew. The commandos knew the identity of Qin Feng, and he also saw Qin Feng and others escaped the Lanxi River that day.

The status of Qin Feng and others is very important. They have a large amount of confidential information about the Fifth War Zone. Moreover, Lin Yanni's father is a senior general of the National Army, and it is worthwhile to capture her.

This incident attracted the attention of the Japanese army and decided to make great efforts to capture the three people.

For the captain of the Lanxi County Military Police Team, the last time he received was to search for several prisoners of war escaped from the prisoner-of-war camp. He was not interested in this and did not take this matter seriously. He just checked the people entering and leaving the city gate. This is also the main reason why Qin Feng and others were not exposed.

However, the military police captain received a joint investigation notice that he wanted to arrest three people with such important identities. If he caught them, it would be a great achievement.

Therefore, it aroused the great interest of the military captain, so he made a decision to make great efforts to search in Lanxi County.

After Gao Jiu and others came out after taking a shower, they had already discovered that something was wrong in the city, and the Japanese and puppet troops were frequently active. After a little inquiry, they found out that the Japanese and puppet troops were targeting Lin Yanni and the other three.

It was too late to see that it was too late. Tomorrow, the Japanese and puppet troops would launch a city-wide search. If the three of them were in the city, they would most likely fall into the hands of the Japanese and puppet troops.

Gao Jiu decided to launch a rescue operation immediately.
