Shooting Stars Episode 2 Recap
> Shooting Stars Recap
When Hua Zhen was rescuing the little girl from danger just now, he encountered a young police officer. This young police officer was Chen Hao, the captain of the police station of the Shanghai Municipal Sixteenth Branch Bureau. Besides the little girl, he was the first person to see the scene of Mr. Meng's murder. At that time, he noticed the little girl was missing, pulled the cordon, and tried hard to find her, but unfortunately didn't find her.
After finishing his work in the morning, he immediately changed into civilian clothes to find Deng Mingyuan. He saw Wei Daiqing at Deng Mingyuan's residence, heard a gunshot, and then saw many people throwing the books Deng Mingyuan often read onto the ground. Chen Hao knew his teacher had been killed. That night, Chen Hao recalled the moments of his acquaintance with his teacher. He was very sad.
His teacher had always worked diligently for the cause of the Communist Party of China, exhausting himself for the liberation of all Chinese people. He didn't expect him to sacrifice so quickly. Chen Hao was deeply moved. He would continue to stick to his post.
Although he was a young police officer during the day, he was also an undercover agent in private, ready to complete the tasks assigned by his superiors at any time and waiting for a new liaison to arrive. That night, Hua Zhen also tossed and turned, unable to sleep. He booked a room in a hotel, settled the little girl, and then called home, asking his elder brother to investigate the situation regarding his teacher.
Before going to bed, he went to the little girl's room and found photos of her parents on her bed. She was also a child of misfortune. Hua Zhen quietly covered the little girl with his own blanket. The next morning, the little girl went to the hotel front desk herself to make a call. Hua Zhen thought she must be finding a place to stay for herself.
To his surprise, the little girl looked up the phone book, contacted all her classmates, and went to their homes one by one to borrow money, borrowing a total of more than twenty yuan. The night before, the little girl had specifically asked Hua Zhen how much his usual monthly salary was.
It turned out she wanted to borrow money to hire Hua Zhen, hoping he could stay in Shanghai for a few more days to help her find the murderer of her parents. The girl's name was Meng Duo Ci. Hua Zhen sympathized with the little girl's plight. Originally, he wanted to take her to Nanjing.
When he called home, his elder brother told him that Deng Mingyuan, who had come to their house the day before yesterday, was actually a member of the Communist Party of China, and asked Hua Zhen not to get involved in anything concerning Deng Mingyuan anymore. Taking anyone associated with him home would bring disaster upon their family.
Hua Zhen hesitated for a while, knowing deeply that it was a period of White Terror and anything related to the Communist Party of China would be very complicated. Hua Zhen paid enough fees to the hotel so that she could live there safely, have a place to sleep, and eat directly at the hotel every day. Just as Hua Zhen was preparing to leave by car, he repeatedly stroked the book his teacher had left him.
Deng Mingyuan was a very respectable teacher. He had not expected his teacher to be a member of the Communist Party of China. Hua Zhen felt that there must be a reason for his teacher's choice. China was now facing internal and external troubles, and the Kuomintang had not united against foreign enemies, but instead adopted the policy of "suppressing internal unrest before resisting external aggression" and launched a large-scale crackdown on communists, which indeed puzzled him greatly.
Subconsciously, Hua Zhen had already made a decision. He immediately returned to the hotel and took Meng Duo Ci with him. Fortunately, Meng Duo Ci returned in time. The spy who killed Meng Duo Ci's family that day finally found this hotel with photos. Meng Duo Ci was having dinner downstairs just as the spy was going upstairs to look for the room number. She saw that familiar shadow and recognized the murderer.
Being smart, she hid in other rooms in the hotel and finally escaped a crisis. Hua Zhen found Meng Duo Ci and took her to find a new place to hide. This time he found a guesthouse. Hua Zhen, who had learned reconnaissance knowledge, carefully observed the surroundings and confirmed it was safe before bringing Meng Duo Ci to stay there. For safety, he also changed names for Meng Duo Ci and himself.
Now his name was Xiang Yuansheng, while Meng Duo Ci's name was changed to Qiu Shi. Externally, he instructed Meng Duo Ci to call him older brother.
