Bright Sword: Koi, we have reached the enemy's base camp

The traitor Er Gouzi shouted in horror: “You can’t kill me, if you kill me.

The imperial army will not let go of the people of this city."

A hint of cruelty flashed in Wang Hao's eyes: "Who do you think you are?

You, a traitorous beast, deserve to die.

People like you will only hurt more people if you keep them around." He raised his fist.

Wang Hao's fists fell on Ergouzi like raindrops.

Every punch is filled with resentment towards the traitors.

Er Gouzi was beaten so hard that he cried out in pain and rolled on the ground.

"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, please stop hitting me." Er Gouzi kept begging for mercy.

After fighting for a while, Wang Hao finally stopped and said, "Tell me! What other plans do the Japanese devils have?"

"I say, I say! Tanabe Taijun has issued a death order.

We must catch the person who attacked Sakura Villa.

Catch the murderer of Sato Ichiro." Er Gouzi shouted in a trembling voice.

Wang Hao then asked: "Then do you know who the murderer is?"

Er Gouzi immediately said: "I don't know, I just know they are a group of very powerful people."

Wang Hao thought for a moment and said, "Since you don't know, how are you going to catch him?"

“Tanabe Tai-kun said that those people dared to kill their officers, which was intolerable to them.

He...he was going to put a total lockdown on the city.

Search every house, leaving no corner untouched." Er Gouzi cried.

"Blockade and search? Isn't he afraid of causing a riot?" Wang Hao punched Ergouzi again.

"He doesn't care. He said that as long as the murderer can be caught, any price is worth it." Er Gouzi replied, his face full of horror.

"Does he have any specific areas that he focuses on searching?" Wang Hao continued to ask.

“In the west and south of the city, he felt that the murderer had hiding places in these two places.

Especially the small alleys in the west of the city and the residential areas in the south of the city.

He will send a large number of troops to search." Er Gouzi said quickly.

"Huh, does he think he can catch the murderer this way?" Wang Hao sneered.

“Also…Also, he doubled the number of troops stationed at each city gate.

People entering and leaving the city are strictly checked, not only their luggage but also their identities are carefully verified.

If there is any suspicion, they will be arrested." Er Gouzi added.

“Does he have any new tricks or traps?

Don't try to deceive me, or you'll be in trouble!" Wang Hao shook Er Gouzi vigorously.

"Really...really nothing! That's all I know.

But...but he also mentioned making use of the spies in the city.

Have them keep an eye out for any suspicious movement.

Those spies would keep an eye on places like pubs, teahouses, and inns.

Once we find any suspicious person, we will immediately notify the Imperial Army." Er Gouzi said tremblingly.

"Spies in the city? Do you know who they are?" Wang Hao frowned.

“I…I only know part of it.

There is...there is the owner of Ke Lai Teahouse in the west of the city, who often delivers messages to the imperial army.

There was also a waiter at the Yunlai Inn in the south of the city who secretly monitored the guests staying in the inn.

The rest... I don't know much about the rest." Er Gouzi replied.

"These guys who sell out their country for personal gain deserve to die!" Duan Peng and others cursed.

"What about Tianbian himself? Where does he usually go? Is there any pattern?" Wang Hao continued to interrogate.

"Tanabe-sama spent most of his time in the Japanese army camp.

But...but he would go to the Japanese Hall in the city twice a week to discuss things with other officers.

He is heavily guarded when he travels, so it is difficult to approach him." Er Gouzi said.

"Japanese Hall? What is it used for?" A gleam of light flashed in Wang Hao's eyes.

“I don’t know much about it, I just know that Tanabe-kun often goes there to discuss things.

I have told you everything I know, please let me go!" Er Gouzi begged while crying.

Wang Hao ignored him: "Is there anything else? If I find out that you are hiding something, I will make you die miserably."

"No, really no, I have told you everything I know.

Please let me go!" Ergou kept begging for mercy.

Wang Hao ignored him and winked at Li San.

Li San took a step forward, raised the dagger in his hand, and instantly cut Ergouzi's throat.

After getting rid of this traitor, Wang Hao and his team searched the casino again.

Take away all the US dollars and various currencies.

Wang Hao and his team returned to their hiding place and began to discuss countermeasures.

Xiao Chen asked: "Brother Hao, what should we do next?"

Wang Hao thought for a moment and said, "The blockade and search by the Japanese devils at the field edge is very disadvantageous to us. We have to find a way to deal with it."

“We can get rid of those eyeliners first.

This will at least reduce the risk of being discovered." Duan Peng suggested.

"That's right, let's start with the owner of the teahouse in the west of the city," said Wang Qiang.

"And the guys at the South City Inn must not be let off either," Liu Hong continued.

Wang Hao nodded in agreement: "Yes, it's OK, but it must be done cleanly and neatly, so as not to attract the attention of the devils."

They decided to go to the South City Inn first.

The operation was scheduled for night, under the cover of darkness.

Soon, Wang Hao and his friends quietly arrived at the teahouse in the west of the city.

The teahouse was closed and it was dark inside.

Wang Hao motioned for everyone to stop, and then whispered:

"Duan Peng, you guys stay outside to provide cover, Monkey and I will go in."

Duan Peng and the others nodded and began to stand guard outside the teahouse.

Wang Hao and Monkey climbed over the wall from the backyard.

He moved cautiously towards the teahouse.

They found out that there was only one room inside, and the boss happened to be guarding the store today.

They came to the door of the room and heard snoring coming from inside.

Wang Hao gently pushed open the door, and in the faint moonlight, he saw a person lying on the bed and sleeping soundly.

Wang Hao asked in a low voice: "Is it him?"

The monkey looked at him carefully again and said, "It's him, no doubt about it."

After confirmation, Wang Hao took a step forward.

He pulled out a dagger and quickly slit the boss' throat.

After Wang Hao and Monkey dealt with the teahouse owner, they quickly left the teahouse.

After meeting up with Duan Peng and others, they rushed towards the Inn in the south of the city without stopping.

The South City Inn was lit with a dim light in the night, indicating that there were still people inside who had not slept.

Wang Hao and his companions stopped in a dark place near the inn and observed the movements around them.

The door of the inn was closed, and occasionally vague voices could be heard coming from inside.

"Brother Hao, what should we do now? Should we just rush in?" Monkey asked in a low voice.

Wang Hao frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said:

"Don't be hasty, wait and see what happens, don't alert the enemy."

Just as they were about to observe further, the door of the inn creaked open.

A man dressed as a clerk came out.

The man was wearing coarse cloth and had a towel draped over his shoulders.

He looked around, as if checking if there was anything unusual around him.

“That’s him, I’ve seen him before when I was scouting here.

He is the guy who tipped off the Japanese." Liu Hong said in a low voice.

Wang Hao nodded, winked at everyone, and everyone followed quietly.
