Traveling through the 1940s, the whole village was massacred at the beginning

Chapter 1049 Jiang Jiyun, the Untrustworthy One

Jiang Jiyun's gaze swept across every corner, and the events that had just occurred gradually surfaced in his mind.

She suddenly realized that she was chasing Taro Ikeshita, but she didn't know where he was.

So she turned to Nan and asked, "I think I just saw my brother. Where did he go?"

Nan followed her gaze and then replied, "He chased after the car; he went to catch the people who had escaped."

Jiang Jiyun frowned slightly, gazing thoughtfully into the distance.

She sighed softly, "Alas, it seems my physical fitness isn't good enough. If that last shot had hit the target, perhaps it would have stopped them from escaping..."

Nan gently patted Jiang Jiyun's helmet and comforted her, saying, "It can't be entirely your fault. After all, the situation was so urgent. You were already very brave. You're still young. Besides, two cars were overturned by the powerful blast from the explosion. Given the force of the impact, it's unlikely that the people inside would have survived."

Jiang Jiyun nodded, then, as if she had thought of something, she reached into her handbag and rummaged around for a while.

Soon, she took a cell phone out of her handbag and dialed Jiang Jiyuan's number in front of Song Lan.

Jiang Jiyuan's voice came through the phone very quickly.

However, before Jiang Jiyuan could speak, Jiang Jiyun couldn't wait to ask, "Brother, how many Ikeshita Taros did you catch?"

After answering the phone, Jiang Jiyuan originally wanted to share the good news with his sister.

They successfully captured Taro Ikeshita!

However, when he heard what his sister said next, he was stunned and at a loss for words.

"I saw two identical ponds from afar in that courtyard; they looked like twins," Jiang Jiyun calmly recounted to her brother what she had witnessed.

Jiang Jiyuan stared wide-eyed at the man in front of him who looked exactly like the man in the photo, and couldn't help but curse: "Damn it! Did we let this guy get away again?"

Jiang Jiyun naturally understood her brother's frustration and dejection at this moment, but she also knew that based on the clues she had so far, it would not be easy to confirm that Chi Xia had truly fallen into the clutches of the law.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Jiyun turned around, his gaze fixed on the area within the city still ablaze with fire, and said in a deep voice, "Senior Brother Nan, we need to get into the city quickly. Because the real pond is very likely still hidden there."

Nan followed her gaze and asked, puzzled, "But isn't there an exit over there? Why don't we just go in from there?"

Jiang Jiyun shook his head, sighed helplessly, and explained: "No, that secret passage is impassable now. A section of it was bombed and collapsed by the Japanese, making it impossible to walk through."

She thought about it and then contacted her uncle, telling him that the real Taro Ikeshita might still be in the city.

Seeing the two people, one big and one small, about to leave, Song Lan reminded them, "The city gates are closed now; you can't enter the city today!"

Looking at the large crowd, Jiang Jiyun said, "Today is an exception. So many civilians and officials' families are outside the city. There are explosions both inside and outside the city. The people inside won't just abandon those outside. As long as the city gates open, Taro Ikeshita will have a chance to escape."

Jiang Wenming and Xiao Wei, who were in the city, were collecting treasures from the Chixia mansion. After receiving Jiang Jiyun's notification, they stopped collecting the items and immediately informed Yu Mosheng and the others.

Yu Mosheng also told them, "I didn't find Hua Zhen and the others' bodies here. They must still be alive. They said they were going to rescue people and capture Chi Xia. Could they be following Chi Xia now?"

Xiao Wei told Jiang Wenming, "There's no one in the water dungeon over there either. Those people couldn't have been taken away by Chi Xia, so the most likely explanation is that they left on their own."

Yu Mosheng told them, "Those who have endured torture until now are unlikely to have fled out of fear of death. The most likely scenario is that they also participated in the battle, and the most likely scenario is that their battlefield was not here."

Jiang Wenming nodded and said, "Then you search the city. Our men are guarding the city gates. The secret passage out of the city has been destroyed. If he wants to get out, he can only do so through the city gate."

At this moment, Hua Zhen and several other injured people were looking at the mansion not far away.

"The Chen residence?"

"That's Secretary Chen's old residence, could it be that he..."

"You never know..."

……

Hua Zhen's expression was also very grim. He knew that the people in the team were of varying abilities, but why would someone who could sit in a high position do such a thing? What was the reason?

He thought for a moment and then said to the people behind him, "Our people are not available to show up for the time being, brothers, I'm sorry!"

Qian Yi had already heard what their people were saying and knew that they didn't want to offend anyone or get involved in troubled matters.

"It's alright, we understand. Thank you for rescuing us. This is a difficult situation for you too." After saying this, Qian Yi said to his men, "I'll keep an eye on this place. Fengzi, go find reinforcements and bring them over."

Hua Zhen left the ammunition in his hand with Qian Yi and then left with his men.

Qian Yi sighed as he watched the departing figures. It would be hard for a team like that to win people's hearts. Fortunately, his team wouldn't be like that!

Jiang Jiyun and Nan arrived at the south gate and saw people about to leave the city.

Nan was about to rush forward when Jiang Jiyun reached out and grabbed him.

"Why are you pulling me? They're going to run away!" Nan said anxiously.

Jiang Jiyun explained to him, "Ichika wasn't among those people; they were probably the targets."

Nan frowned as he watched the group's retreating figures and said, "Are we just going to let them get away like that?"

"How could that be? My brother's men wouldn't stand idly by." After Jiang Jiyun finished speaking, a few of his men from the boss's side left with the others.

Nan Huan saw it too, and only then did he feel relieved and continue to keep an eye on the city gate.

When Jiang Jiyun heard that Xiao Wei was about to come out of the space, he said to Nan Huan, "I'll go find Brother Xiao Wei. He said he came to see me. I'm going to pick him up now."

"You...you don't mean to leave me behind and go do bad things by yourself, do you?" Nan still didn't quite believe her.

He had heard about her great achievements from his two junior brothers the whole way. Even her brother and uncle couldn't keep an eye on her. He knew he couldn't think as fast as them and would definitely be fooled by her.

Jiang Jiyun looked at him speechlessly and said, "I'm not lying to you, I found Brother Xiaotian and brought him here!"

Does she have no credibility whatsoever in their eyes? She doesn't think she's ever lied to him, right? Why does he look at her with such distrust?

"If you don't come back in five minutes, I'm coming to find you!" Nan said, glancing at his watch.
