All people around the scene of Nakamura's assassination were taken to the Japanese Special Agency.

These people were unlucky. They worked hard in line, endured hunger and cold in the rain, but in the end they were inexplicably involved in an assassination.

They were separated and interrogated.

It is not difficult to get some useful clues from their mouths.

Based on the combined confessions, there was a young man at the scene where Nakamura was stabbed.

It seems to be a local.

But what is the specific appearance, and was this young man responsible? Because the scene was too chaotic and it was raining, no one could see clearly.

Meng Shaoyuan also knew that it was basically impossible to get particularly useful clues from these people.

So while his men were interrogating these people, Meng Shaoyuan quietly returned to the scene of the crime.

The assassination that occurred had no impact at all on those who were bent on obtaining permission to board the ship.

The blood stains on the ground were also washed away by the blood.

What does it matter if a person dies? Even if this person is an officer, he is nothing compared to the boarding permit!

Meng Shaoyuan stood in the rain for a long time.

Xiao Zhong was always behind holding an umbrella for him.

After a long time, Meng Shaoyuan suddenly walked forward.

There, there is a row of houses where locals live.

Several children, regardless of the rain, squatted on the ground and gathered in a group, digging in the mud with the rain enthusiastically.

Meng Shaoyuan walked over.

He looked there for a while and winked at Xiao Zhong.

Xiaozhong immediately kicked one of the children and said in the local dialect: "Get up."

Several children stood up timidly.

"There are people killing people over there, do you know?" Meng Shaoyuan opened his mouth and asked.

Several children hesitated and nodded.

"Did you see anyone?"

Just when Meng Shaoyuan asked, the adults in the room heard the noise outside and hurriedly came out, wanting to let their children go home.

They don't want to cause any trouble.

Unexpectedly, Xiaozhong suddenly took out his gun and pointed it at one of the adults.

Several adults were frightened.

Meng Shaoyuan took out a stack of money from Xiao Zhong's pocket and waved it in front of them: "An imperial officer was killed, and I need useful clues. Whoever can give me clues, this money belongs to him."

[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, and a source-changing app used by old bookworms,]

Then, he did not forget to add: "If I can't get any clues here, then you are the accomplices of the murderer!"

This is the simplest and most practical method.

From the moment he learned of Mitsuki Nakamura's assassination, Meng Shaoyuan already had a rough outline of the murderer.

Sudden accidental event.

There were so many people at the scene, but the murderer still carried out the murder, killing a Japanese officer, and he didn't care whether he would be discovered.

Then, this person has a more impulsive personality and does not care about the consequences.

Most likely a young man.

At the same time, he actually carries a dagger?

So, this person came prepared.

You know, in Manila, a local may be stopped by the gendarmerie at any time and then searched.

The murderer still doesn't care?

It shows that he has a way to deal with it.

The appearance of the murderer can basically be confirmed.

This is a young man who joined the resistance organization. Seeing so many Japanese gathered in the Office of the Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he decided to do something big:

Assassinate a Japanese!

But the people who lined up before were all Japanese expatriates, so they didn't have much value to him.

At this time, Mitsuki Nakamura appeared.

At that time, when Mitsuki Nakamura got out of the car, he was wearing a military uniform, no raincoat, and just holding an umbrella.

He quickly became the target of the murderer.

Judging from the fact that he carried the dagger openly and disappeared quickly after the assassination, he was very familiar with the surrounding environment.

He might even live nearby!

Therefore, in view of these factors, Meng Shaoyuan also specially reminded the locals living here: "This is a young man, you may still know him. He appeared when the Murderous Eulogy happened, and after the Murderous Eulogy ended,

He disappeared again. I have said it very carefully, can you give me any useful clues?"

Still no one answered.

However, the expression of one of the men immediately caught Meng Shaoyuan's attention.

He made a fierce expression: "Everyone go back to the house, I want to question them one by one!"

…

The male host was sitting at home, his body shaking slightly, probably because of fear.

"Don't be nervous, relax." Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "You are the third one I have questioned. Do you know why? Because I don't want you to arouse the suspicion of the neighbors.

I know, you know the murderer, right?"

Xiaozhong helped with the translation.

The male host did not speak.

Meng Shaoyuan lit a cigarette: "Look, I am always thinking about you, and I don't want anyone to refuse my kindness. Money or death, which one do you choose?"

Put the money in front of him.

Xiao Zhong remained silent, took out his gun and turned on the safety.

"Yes, it's Ruth, Ruth from the Hume family." The male host finally spoke: "He is Hume's son. He has been here for the past two days. I saw him and asked him what he was doing here.

He said he would come and see if there was any opportunity to make money.

Ah, the Japanese people lining up here sometimes ask us to help them buy some food and drinks, and we make a little money from it, so I don't doubt it at all.

When the murder happened, I happened to come out and saw Ruth also going up. Then he left, but I don’t know whether it was him or not.”

"Look, I just like this kind of pleasant conversation." Meng Shaoyuan stood up and glanced at the money: "Now, you can buy some delicious food for your children."

…

"Brother, what should we do?" Xiao Zhong asked as soon as he came out: "Should we arrest this person named Ruth?"

"Arrest? Is there something wrong with you?" Meng Shaoyuan glared at Xiao Zhong: "Do you really think of yourself as a Japanese spy? Do you really want to arrest these members of the resistance organization?"

"Then you still come to break the eucalyptus." Xiao Zhong grunted.

"I solved the problem because I don't like problems that I can't solve." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Now that the problem has been solved, I am satisfied. If a Japanese officer died, it is none of my business."

"It's raining just to satisfy your hobby." Xiao Zhong still muttered.

"Okay, go and investigate this man named Ruth immediately." Meng Shaoyuan didn't care: "It's just that although this man is brave, he is too impulsive. If he continues to do this, he will be caught by the Japanese sooner or later. He will also be implicated.

to other people.

Also, as the chaos in Manila intensifies, more and more people from resistance organizations are entering Manila. You must pay attention to safety, lest you die in the hands of the Japanese or be killed by these resistance organizations.
