Ding Cuihua's vision blurred, and she nearly fell to the ground. A policewoman nearby caught her. Ding Cuihua felt as if her head had been struck by lightning.
Otherwise, why would she be hallucinating? Her family's Yizhu was an enemy agent and had already been arrested. "Enemy agent, enemy agent," only these two words remained in Ding Cuihua's mind.
The police searching the house quickly made a discovery in the Zhang family's cellar. Hidden in the cellar was a radio transmitter and a set of Japanese clothing.
Then, the police found a set of night clothes in Zhang Yizhu and Ding Cuihua's room. They also found a dagger with the Japanese insignia and a Japanese flag. Dr. Huang's medicine box was also found.
Ding Cuihua was completely stunned when the police brought out the items. Even she, in her daze, knew these things were no good. When did these things get into her house? How could she have no idea?
The lead policeman's expression turned serious upon seeing the items. Even without participating in those unbearable days, the written accounts alone were enough to convey the brutal aggression Japan committed against China and the monstrous crimes committed against the Chinese people.
"Take them away!" At that command, the people searched Zhang's house and were taken away by the police. Ding Cuihua was also taken away. It was a little past four in the morning; although it was still dark, the search had already alerted the surrounding villagers.
People came out of their homes to see what was happening, until uniformed police officers emerged from the Zhang family's house. The officers in front were carrying something, and Ding Cuihua was being supported by a policewoman.
Ding Cuihua, being helped along, felt her legs go weak and her face looked like she'd lost her soul. The policewoman supported her the whole way, and she couldn't hear the whispers and comments around her.
From the moment the physical evidence was found, police officers went back to report. The police station will send people to detain Zhang Yizhu's five children. They will be released until the facts are clarified, if they were not involved or unaware of the situation.
When the villagers saw Ding Cuihua being taken away by the police, they all stood there discussing it. They wondered what crime the Zhang family had committed to warrant the police arresting people in the middle of the night. Some people in the know knew that Zhang Yizhu had been missing for a day. Maybe he had also been arrested by the police.
The next morning at daybreak, Gu Moting and his men led the captured enemies down the mountain, taking the path towards Sujia Village. Their plan was to prevent any reinforcements from rescuing the enemy along the way.
As dawn broke, the more than fifty soldiers sent from the rear of the army were all in place. Together with the original personnel, there were more than eighty soldiers and police officers.
More than twenty soldiers remained on the mountain to guard the area, while sixty soldiers escorted the captured enemy. This was to prepare for any eventuality and ensure absolute safety.
After eating, Su Xingran and Doctor Huang regained much of their strength. Although they were very tired, it didn't affect their ability to walk. On the way down the mountain, in order not to cause trouble for the soldiers, the master and apprentice took care of each other, with Su Xingran supporting her master the whole way.
They reached the foot of the mountain without incident. Several military trucks were parked there, and the enemy soldiers were assigned to them. Each truck was guarded by soldiers. Gu Moting led the way in the first truck, while Duan Yuming and Huang Tai'an guarded the last one.
At this time, most of the villagers had gone to work. Those who stayed at home were busy with household chores. Despite the commotion, it didn't attract many onlookers.
But when they went to work in the fields, things exploded like a large rock being thrown into water. The neighbors around the Zhang family were all talking about Ding Cuihua being taken away by the police and Zhang Yizhu disappearing.
