At 12:15 a.m., Miyamoto Musashi kept his eyes fixed on the military train that was slowly slowing down.

The military train eventually stopped on the railway tracks more than 300 meters away from the train station.

As soon as the train stopped, the doors of the Japanese military train carriages opened almost simultaneously, and the Japanese soldiers quickly disembarked.

Twenty minutes later, the ruins of the train station were filled with Japanese soldiers.

Approximately 3000 Japanese soldiers disembarked from the two military trains. Combined with the Japanese soldiers in Shanghai who had escaped the shelling, the total number of Japanese soldiers exceeded 4300.

At this moment, a Japanese soldier with the rank of colonel walked out from the group of Japanese soldiers and walked directly over after seeing Miyamoto Musashi not far away.

The Japanese colonel walked up to Miyamoto Musashi and stopped.

"Miyamoto-kun, what happened at the train station? How did Miyashi Train Station become a ruin?"

As he spoke, Xiao Quanzhou Jiyuan looked around with a puzzled expression. He was the regimental commander of this unit.

Miyamoto Musashi's eyes turned bloodshot again, and with an angry expression, he told Xiaoquanzhou Jiyuan about what had happened in Haishi that afternoon.

"Baka yarou! How did you protect His Highness the Prince?"

Xiao Quanzhou Jiyuan drew his command sword and held it to Miyamoto Musashi's neck.

His face was flushed and he was panting heavily, his eyes fixed on Miyamoto Musashi, who was bowing his head and remaining silent, hoping that Miyamoto Musashi could give him an explanation.

But he was met with silence from Miyamoto Musashi, who seemed completely oblivious to the knife pressed against his neck.

After a long while, Xiaoquanzhou Jiyuan removed the command sword that was held to Miyamoto Musashi's neck.

"Miyamoto-kun, just wait for the headquarters to hold you accountable."

Now tell me who murdered Prince Asaka?

Upon hearing the angry question from Koizumi-shu Jiyuan, Miyamoto Musashi murmured dejectedly.

"The investigation is ongoing, and we haven't found anything yet, but I've already mobilized all my soldiers."

Now I would like to ask Mr. Koizumi to cooperate with me in sealing off the entire sea city.

I will search every inch of the mirage, and I will definitely retrieve Prince Asaka's head!

Those who murdered Prince Asaka should be torn to pieces!

Miyamoto Musashi's voice grew louder and louder, and he slowly raised his head, which had been lowered.

Miyamoto Musashi's eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was ferocious and terrifying, like a wild beast ready to devour people at any moment.

Seeing Miyamoto Musashi in this state, Xiaoquanzhou Jiyuan felt a little sorry for him and patted him on the shoulder.

"Until the Empire's punishment arrives, my regiment is at your command. Now, please take me to the place where Prince Asaka was murdered."

"Thank you, Koizumi-kun."

Miyamoto Musashi bowed deeply to Xiaoquanzhou Jiyuan, his expression solemn.

A moment later, Xiao Quanzhou Jiyuan gathered all the Japanese soldiers under his command, including battalion commanders and company commanders, and gave them the order to surround the entire Haishi.

Upon hearing that Prince Asaka had perished, the Japanese battalion and company commanders rushed back to their units like mad dogs.

He quickly led his team to their assigned area.

Meanwhile, Miyamoto Musashi took Xiaoquanzhou Jiyuan to the hospital.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Xiaoquanzhou Jiyuan met Prince Asaka, who was now just a body.

First, there was a moment of stunned silence, then a long silence, and finally a 90-degree bow.

The image of Prince Asaka's care for him kept flashing through Xiao Quanzhou Jiyuan's mind.

When Xiao Quanzhou Jiyuan straightened up again, his eyes were already red and swollen. He slowly walked to the body of the Asaka Palace Bird and covered it with a blanket.

He reached out and touched his eyes, then turned back to find his eyes filled with extreme anger.

“Miyamoto-kun, you know the situation better than I do. You are in charge of the search, and I will be in charge of sealing off the city.”

If the search fails to yield results and Prince Asaka's head is not found, I will massacre the entire city and make the people of the Dragon Kingdom pay for the prince's death!

Miyamoto Musashi gave Xiaoquanzhou Jiyuan a deep look and slowly spoke.

"I will finish the search by noon at the latest. If, as you say, we cannot find the prince's head, then I will issue the order."

"Somebody come!"

A Japanese soldier immediately came in through the door.

Miyamoto Musashi glanced down at his watch; it was 12:45 a.m.

"Immediately arrange for the printing factory to print leaflets for me overnight. The leaflets should read: If the person who killed Prince Asaka does not hand over the prince's head by 1 p.m. today, we will massacre the entire city."

"Hi"

Upon receiving the order, the Japanese soldiers immediately turned around and went out to carry it out.

"Everyone else, search every inch of the Japanese-occupied area. Arrest any suspicious individuals immediately."

Miyamoto Musashi paused for a moment, then continued.

"Where are the Special Higher Police officers stationed in Haishi? I haven't seen a single one of them."

At this moment, a lieutenant squad leader belonging to the Ichiro Ikebe Battalion spoke up.

"Reporting to Colonel Miyamoto, all the Special Higher Police personnel stationed in Haishi were killed last night."

Miyamoto Musashi: "..."

When Ichiro Ibe was reporting to Prince Asaka, Prince Asaka was arranging the deployment of a large force and did not hear Ichiro Ibe's report.

Otherwise, he might have died a gruesome death like Ichiro Ikebe.

"What about the people at the 76th Special Agent Headquarters?"

"Many died in the shelling of Haishi Railway Station, and now there are... 7 people left."

Miyamoto Musashi took a deep breath.

"Immediately have one squadron of soldiers change into civilian clothes and infiltrate the concession to gather information."

Let those seven people lead the way.

"Hi!" The Japanese lieutenant stood at attention, bowed, and then turned and went out to relay the order.

Miyamoto Musashi thought about it again and felt that a company entering the French Concession in the short term would not be of much use.

Miyamoto Musashi addressed Jiyuan in Xiaoquanzhou.

"Mr. Koizumi, I'm going to send a telegram to headquarters, instructing them to negotiate with the French Concession embassy. I'm going to lead troops into the concession to search."

After finishing his speech, Miyamoto Musashi immediately left the ward and headed straight for the temporary telecommunications room set up not far away.

Xiao Quanzhou Jiyuan followed closely behind, but instead of following Miyamoto Musashi, he went directly out of the hospital to one of the checkpoints leading out of the city, intending to oversee the operation himself.

As Miyamoto Musashi and Kosenju Jiyuan issued their orders one by one.

The Japanese soldiers frantically broke into people's houses in the Japanese-occupied area to search, and arrested any suspicious persons on the spot.

The commotion on the Japanese side quickly attracted the attention of the Red and Blue underground organizations.

Gunshots began to ring out sporadically in the city.

Zhang Weiguo was also awakened by the gunshots. He quickly dressed and went to the balcony to look in the direction from which the gunshots were coming.

The moon was hidden behind thick clouds, and Zhang Weiguo couldn't see anything at all.

Zhang Ya also got up, walked over to Zhang Weiguo, and hugged his arm.

Her body trembled slightly, clearly indicating that the previous incident still left a shadow in her mind.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, along with Tiger's voice.

"Commander, are you awake?"

Zhang Weiguo responded immediately upon hearing Hu Zi's voice.

"Tiger, come in."

Upon hearing this, Hu Zi, who was outside the door, immediately pushed the door open and entered.

He glanced at Zhang Ya after entering.

Zhang Ya did not leave after seeing this.

"Tiger, just say it. Don't you believe your sister-in-law?"

Tiger scratched his head after hearing this and smiled sheepishly.

"Don't mind me, sister-in-law. I told you because I was afraid you would worry, not because I don't trust you."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ya smiled at Hu Zi, indicating her understanding.

Tiger breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Zhang Ya's expression, then looked anxiously at Zhang Weiguo and said...

"Commander, the Japanese have gone mad! They're like a pack of mad dogs in the Japanese-occupied area, barging into people's homes to search for suspicious individuals."

Many members of the Red and Blue Party have already engaged in combat with the Japanese.
