While Tang Cheng and Wang Liang were sitting in the coffee shop and chatting in low voices, Hongkou District was completely sealed off. A large number of military police troops appeared at various street corners in Hongkou District. Whether they were Japanese expatriates living in Hongkou District,
All people from other countries must undergo the most severe interrogation by the military police. The izakaya that was turned into a killing ground in Tangcheng was surrounded by military police. All the people entering and exiting here were from the Shanghai Military Police Headquarters and the Special High School.
The powerful person in the class.
"Oshima-kun, I've seen the scene, what do you think?" Lieutenant Colonel Takahashi, who was dressed in military uniform, stood in front of the izakaya. The Oshima Ueno he asked was a trace expert from the Shanghai Special High School, following him
Kazuo Takahashi, a squadron leader in the military police force, was once a middle school classmate. More than 50 corpses were carried out of an izakaya. This was undoubtedly a big event, especially among these corpses were several people known to Kazuo Takahashi.
Oshima Ueno, who was asked by Kazuo Takahashi, paused for a moment, then stretched out his hand to adjust the glasses on the bridge of his nose out of habit, and then spoke. "Judging from the situation on the scene, all the deceased on the second floor,
They were all shot at close range. According to the analysis of the warheads we found at the scene, the murderer should have used a Mauser gun, which the Chinese call a shell gun. Moreover, the murderer's marksmanship was very good, and there were few corpses on the second floor.
Those who were shot twice in the body were almost always killed by one shot."
Kazuo Takahashi nodded slightly when he heard this. Killing him with one shot undoubtedly shows that the murderer's marksmanship is very good. It also proves that the murderer is very conceited. He is so conceited that he doesn't need to shoot again. "As for the corpses downstairs, they were densely packed."
Most of the bodies had more than three bullet holes. My judgment is that the weapon used by the murderer on the first floor should be a German MP18 bomb. There are many German-style bombs in China, and
The bullets we found downstairs also proved to be 9mm pistol bullets."
"So, according to your inference, Oshima-kun, the murderer should be no less than two people?" Kazuo Takahashi doesn't care about what weapon the murderer used. He just cares about what clues are available at the moment. If he can
If you find favorable clues before the senior management becomes angry, you may face less trouble.
As a high school classmate and good friend, Oshima Ueno naturally would not hide anything from Kazuo Takahashi, and immediately shook his head and said. "No, the murderer is not two people, I am sure of this. After receiving the report from the patrol last night, I took people with me
Entering the scene, according to the analysis of the number of bullets we found at the scene, the murderer fired at least more than 130 bullets in this izakaya. Among these 130 bullets, 24 were Mauser pistol bullets, and the rest were all 9mm pistol bullets
."
"After that, we reenacted the scene according to the traces. It turned out that if the murderers were two people and shot from upstairs and downstairs at the same time, they would never be able to reach the scene. Especially we found an interesting situation on the second floor. All
The people who died on the second floor had hardly moved, which means that when they were shot by the murderer, they were completely unprepared."
What Oshima Ueno just said was a doubt that he couldn't figure out. No matter how fast the murderer moved, it would be impossible to carry out continuous shootings from house to house on the second floor without alarming people. After all, Mauser
The gunfire when the pistol was fired was not small. Oshima Ueno's doubts also infected Takahashi Kazuo. Like Oshima Ueno, Takahashi Kazuo also had a puzzled face, and he was secretly thinking about how the murderer did it.
.
"Perhaps the murderer has a way to block the sound of gunshots... I heard those guys who returned from studying in Germany say that the Germans are already developing weapons specially equipped for agents and spies." Kazuo Takahashi suddenly remembered what he had heard.
A rumor came to him. If the person standing next to him at this moment was not his old classmate and good friend Oshima Ueno, he would definitely not tell this rumor. After all, the news has not been confirmed yet.
"****?" Oshima Ueno, who was helpless, seemed to suddenly realize, "By the way, the murderer must have a way to block the sound of the gunfire, otherwise he would never be able to kill the second-floor Masaru in such a short time.
Everyone in the room, unless the number of murderers is the same as the number of private rooms on the second floor, they all acted together!" Oshima Ueno said this through gritted teeth, but Takahashi Kazuo knew that his old man
My friend must have calculated the number of murderers, otherwise he would not have said that the murderers blocked the sound of gunshots.
According to the conclusion reached by Oshima Ueno and others after investigating the scene, the murderer first shot and killed the guests in the private room on the second floor, and then intensively shot the individual guests in the lobby on the first floor. Therefore, what Oshima Ueno said just now was not inappropriate.
.Just a few breaths later, Oshima Ueno's expression changed again, because he suddenly realized that his speculation just now didn't seem to be quite right. "No, if the murderer could block the sound of gunshots, then why did they target the people in the lobby on the first floor?"
Didn't the individual tourists block the sound of gunfire when they carried out intensive shooting? The patrol team who reported the situation clearly stated that they came here after hearing the sound of gunfire."
Just when Oshima Ueno was deep in thought, a Japanese plainclothes member of the Special High School suddenly came out of the izakaya, "Section Chief, we have a new discovery here!" The whisper of the plainclothes team member awakened Oshima Ueno, and he immediately and
Kazuo Takahashi followed the plainclothes team member into the izakaya and went up the stairs to the second floor. "Section Chief, come and see." The plainclothes team member who led the way took Oshima Ueno and Kazuo Takahashi directly to the main entrance of the second floor.
In the private room opposite the entrance of the izakaya.
"According to your previous order, section chief, several of us repeatedly deduced the murderer's actions here, and the final result was the same. The murderer must have acted on the second floor first, and then attacked the individual guests in the lobby on the first floor.
.It’s just that in the deduction we just made, Mr. Ogura made a new discovery.” The Yiyi plainclothes leader who led the way did not mean to take over everything, but after introducing the situation, he gave the next chance to make a statement.
That companion named Isamu Ogura.
Ogura Isamu was also a plainclothes team member under the Oshima Ueno tree. When he saw Oshima Ueno, the section chief, looking at him intently, he couldn't help but cough lightly first, and then said what he wanted first. "Section chief."
There are a total of six private rooms on the second floor of this izakaya. We only counted the number of corpses in the private rooms on the second floor, but we did not pay attention to the connections between these corpses." Isamu Ogura said the word connection.
, both Oshima Ueno and Takahashi Kazuo were obviously stunned, thinking about the connection between the corpses, what the hell is this?
Ogura Isamu, who had been secretly paying attention to his boss's expression and reaction, immediately explained, "Section Chief, what I mean is that people who come to the izakaya are usually not alone. I clearly remember that when we arrived,
When the scene was being investigated here, there were different numbers of corpses in the private rooms upstairs. People who come to a place like this would never be in the same private room with strangers, but there were three corpses in this private room.
, but he is an officer of the gendarmerie, the proprietress of a tavern, and a grain merchant."
"Tell me the important point!" It seemed that Ogura Isamu had said too many digressions. Oshima Ueno's face immediately showed impatience, and he couldn't help scolding him.
"Section Chief, what I'm talking about next is the key point. The appearance of the izakaya proprietress in this private room can be interpreted as her sending a familiar guest upstairs. I do know this military police officer. His name is
Masaki Okawa is a lieutenant in the military police force. He has no special hobbies. His only shortcoming is that he has a bad temper, and he is very disdainful of the fact that some officers in the army secretly do business in partnership with businessmen."
"How can an officer who despises businessmen be in the same private room as a two-room businessman?" Seeing Oshima Ueno beginning to show impatience, Ogura Isamu had to speed up his speech and said in a hurry
Answer. "I saw the corpses in several other private rooms, and in the private room at the entrance of the stairs, I found a fellow officer, Masaki Okawa, who also served in the military police force. In that private room, other
But the corpses all belong to the Navy Command."
When Isamu Ogura said that the body of a military police officer appeared in the private room where naval officers gathered, Takahashi Kazuo immediately reacted. He already understood what Isamu Ogura wanted to express. The military police and
The relationship between the Navy Command has always been tense, especially after the Military Police detained two Navy Command officers who were drunk on the street last month. Several fights have broken out between the Military Police and the Navy Command. Regardless of the reason,
, where officers from the Navy Headquarters gather, there will definitely be no military police officers.
Oshima Ueno also reacted later, and then looked at Ogura Yuu and said, "You mean, the bodies in these private rooms have been moved? And that was before we came here?" Oshima Ueno said
Immediately ordered to check the information of all the corpses at the scene. Although the IDs of all the corpses at the scene were missing, with the strong cooperation of the Military Police and the Navy Headquarters, in just one hour, all the more than 50 corpses in the izakaya were checked
Show your identity.
According to the relationship between the corpses, Oshima Ueno and the others rearranged the corpses in the private room on the second floor, and found that the private room opposite the izakaya was vacant. "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible,
How could this be?" After all the bowls and chopsticks in the private room on the second floor were redistributed according to the number of people, there was only one pair of bowls and chopsticks in this private room. This result made Oshima Ueno's expression change greatly.
Ogura Yuu's discovery was indeed sharp. After everyone recovered the scene, all signs showed that the murderer who had appeared in the izakaya a long time ago seemed to be just one person. One person killed the entire izakaya. This result also made Takahashi Kazuo
It’s unbelievable that even the most powerful veteran in the Japanese army would not be able to do such a thing alone! (To be continued)
