The cart walking in front turned into a big forest, and Li Qinglin and Pan Kewei followed in on horseback.

There was a large open space in the middle of the forest, and the mule cart was parked in the middle of the open space. Pan Kewei's people were divided into three groups, one was guarding the surroundings, one was in the interrogation handlebars, and the other group was searching for something around the big cart and Xiaolin's corpse. Except for the group of people who interrogated made a little sound, the others were busy quietly and orderly.

Pan Kewei's people were very professional and had high work efficiency. After a while, every inch of the body of Dache and Xiaolin were carefully inspected, and all of Xiaolin's personal belongings were placed in front of Pan Kewei; the interrogation people also surrounded it, and it seemed that the interrogation had ended.

In order to speak in a simple manner, Pan Ke first asked the group that was interrogating: "Is there any new situation?"

The interrogator shook his head and said, "Just like we have investigated secretly, the handlebars were temporarily hired, and there was nothing else except the route when we came."

Pan Kewei said, "It's expected." Then he carefully looked at the items that Kobayashi carried with him.

Kobayashi brought a horse-branded horse, a 38-large cover, a number of bullets, a compass, some ocean and gold rings, a few pens and pencils, two erasers, towels, toothbrushes and tooth powder and other personal hygiene products, and changed clothes. The most important thing Kobayashi was five or six maps and a black leather notebook.

Li Qinglin looked at the map carefully. These maps were Japanese military maps, with a scale of one-fifty thousand, and were all counties in Henan Province. On the upper right side of each map, there were words such as "Dimensional Secrets in the Ministry", "XX Year of the Republic of China", "XX Year of Showa", and "North China Front Army General Staff System" around the map. Li Qinglin carefully calculated the year of the map printing, and all of them were measured and drawn before 1931.

On these maps, mountains, rivers, railways, highways, large lanes, bridges, and villages are all carefully displayed. Some important bridges, villages, towns, and passes are also particularly enlarged and clearly indicated. In some strategic locations, some small paths, villages with only a few families, and even the wells in the villages are carefully marked.

Following the route Kobayashi's walking this time, he drew some changes in recent years on the map. From this, it can be judged that his task is to check these maps.

Li Qinglin looked at these maps and said, "The Japanese have been preparing for so many years and have prepared so well. I don't know if our government is ready."

Pan Ke sighed: "God knows what those officials and men are doing all day long. It is said that the country has spent a lot of money on surveying and mapping maps, but the maps we use are many times worse than theirs."

Kobayashi's notebook is a small black leather notebook with something written in Japanese. Pan Ke handed it to Li Qinglin for him to translate it.

This notebook is actually Kobayashi's private diary. The notebook started using it a few days ago when he set off. It records his itinerary and some experiences along the way, and there is nothing else special.

After listening to the content translated by Li Qinglin, Pan Kewei was a little disappointed.

From the items carried by Kobayashi and his actions along the way, he should have just come to check the map along the road. In this way, Japanese spies can only be considered small shrimps at best, and even if they are caught alive, they cannot squeeze out any oil and water, let alone have been beaten to death now.

Xiaolin's gun, map and other items were carefully wrapped up, and Pan Kewei wanted to take them back. Xiaolin's body was taken several photos, and then they carried it to the depths of the dense forest and buried it quietly. As for how to deal with the handlebars later, Li Qinglin dared not ask any more questions.

After all this was done, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. Pan Kewei held a short meeting on site to summarize the success or failure of this action.

Li Qinglin remembered the promise he had just given to Pan Kewei and spoke first. Li Qinglin expressed his gratitude to Pan Kewei, saying that Xiaolin shouted to him, "You are a traitor" and raised his gun to shoot. Fortunately, Pan Kewei made a quick order to open fire, otherwise Li Qinglin would have already wandered in the underworld.

I don’t know if anyone among Pan Kewei’s people understands Japanese, nor do I know if anyone heard what Kobayashi shouted at that time. Anyway, everyone was nodding, saying that Pan Kewei was in charge of the on-site command, and that something went wrong with this operation was because of other reasons.

The meeting was next to the reason for the failure. Everyone at the scene recalled what happened from the parking lot, restored the scene through everyone's memories, and analyzed the reasons. Everyone finally agreed that the person who played the horseshoe exposed his feet, which caused Kobayashi to suspect, which caused the failure of the operation.

Li Qinglin sighed on the side, who said that the Kuomintang spies were not democratic? Are they just holding Zhuge Liang's meeting now? "One person is short-sighted, two people are the chiefs." The reason was quickly found in a few words. These spies are not simple either!

After the meeting, Pan Kewei naturally had his place to go. Li Qinglin didn't help this time and had nothing to do with him later, so he said goodbye to Pan Kewei.

In order to ask his subordinates to bring the mule cart, Pan Ke handed the reins to Li Qinglin and said, "We rode a horse for more than a day when we came. If you go back, you will give this car to you for foot strength."

Li Qinglin quickly shook his hand and said, "Brother Pan, I can't do it! I have never received any reward since ancient times. This mule and cart are too expensive, and I can't afford it."

Pan Kewei smiled and shouted to everyone: "Brothers, we killed the Japanese spies and found their contact points. Is this considered making a contribution?"

His subordinates replied with a loud bang: "Of course, it's not considered meritorious to kill Japanese spies, so what else is considered meritorious?"

Pan Kewei continued: "Who discovered this Japanese spy first? It was Brother Li next to me. Should this car be given to him as a reward?"

Someone in the crowd said, "Of course it should be! Compared with Japanese dog spies, what is a big car worth?"

Someone continued to shout, "Brother Li, you can save more snacks next time. If you find one more, we will give you two." Everyone laughed loudly.

In order to stuff the reins into Li Qinglin's hand, Pan Ke said, "Brothers all agree, don't refuse."

Li Qinglin had no choice but to take the reins. He clasped his fists around with both hands and said loudly: "Since brothers, Gao Yi, I, Li Qinglin, are more respectful than obedient, then I will accept it. Brothers, I will say goodbye to you, brothers, we will have a date in the future!"

After saying that, Li Qinglin pulled the car, picked up the whip rod inserted by the car and waved it. A "pop" whip flower sounded, a "drive" shout, the mule moved its steps, and the mule car started, and Li Qinglin followed the road when he came to the direction of his hometown.
