Chapter 22: No Solution
When I opened the cloth bag, I found that there was a listening device inside the cloth bag, and then I thought of the movement I heard upstairs just now, a pair of young men and women in room 207 all looked back at Huang Zonghan, the oldest of the three. Huang Zonghan was also numb at the moment, when he heard a noise in the upstairs room just now, a bad thought had already risen in his heart, and when he saw the listening device again, Huang Zonghan immediately reacted.
"Go, get out of here, we've probably been exposed." Grabbing his briefcase, Huang Zonghan, whose face changed greatly, was the first to step out of the door, and the young man and woman also followed him in a little panic. "Don't panic, although the other party didn't show up, he didn't seem to have any ill will towards us. The two of you are in front, and I will follow behind, and we will act on the opportunity in a moment. When he was about to turn the corner of the corridor, Huang Zonghan whispered to the man and woman.
The three of them changed positions at the corner of the stairs, Huang Zonghan, who was carrying a briefcase, walked behind, but the man and woman walked in front holding hands. The three of them went down the stairs to the hall on the first floor, although there was nothing unusual on their faces, in fact, Huang Zonghan and the three of them had been tense, especially Huang Zonghan, who had been paying attention to the situation in the hall on the first floor. There were only a few guests sitting in the hall on the first floor, and Huang Zonghan's eyes swept over them, but he didn't find anything unusual.
Could it be that I am overly nervous? When Huang Zonghan's gaze swept over a young man, his eyes involuntarily shrank. At this moment, it was Lu Yuan who looked at Huang Zonghan with eyes, but Lu Yuan was standing outside the door of the hotel at the moment, and when he saw that Huang Zonghan and the three of them had already walked down the stairs and entered the hall, Lu Yuan only glanced at the three of them, and went directly across the street to the small cigarette stall across the street. Naturally, this small cigarette stall is also inseparable from the Japanese military intelligence agency, but the vendor on the cigarette stall is not a plainclothes agent, but a concession gangster.
"A pack of camel cigarettes." Lu Yuan pretended to be an ordinary passerby, pointed to the camel cigarettes on the cigarette stall and whispered, his feet moved slightly, and the whole person was dead in front of the cigarette stall, just blocking the sight of the cigarette stall vendor. The gangsters disguised as cigarette stall vendors did not suspect Lu Yuan, but just lowered their heads and took out a pack of cigarettes from the cigarette stall and handed it to Lu Yuan according to Lu Yuan's request, then took the big bill handed by Lu Yuan, and took out his change to find money for Lu Yuan.
Although Lu Yuan had been facing away from the hotel across the street, his full-view map had been open, and Huang Zonghan and the three of them had just walked out of the hotel. "Your money is broken, can you please change it for me?" Finding that Huang Zonghan and the three of them walked out of the hotel, Lu Yuan, who had his back to the street blocking the hawker's view, had to find a way to delay time, and in the impatient white eyes of the other party, Lu Yuan reluctantly asked the other party to change two slightly damaged banknotes for himself one after another, until he confirmed that Huang Zonghan and the three had mixed into the flow of people, and then left with a cigarette and satisfaction.
The gangsters who disguised themselves as hawkers to monitor the hotel, only cared about entanglement with Lu Yuan, but neglected Huang Zonghan and the three people who left the hotel, and kept watch until it was dark. The suspicious hawker immediately entered the hotel to investigate, only to find that room 307 was already full of corpses, and the target of their close surveillance in room 207 downstairs had already been empty.
During a large-scale entry into the concession by the Special High School and the Japanese military police, the hotel where the murder occurred was surrounded by the Japanese military police regiment, and the French owner of the hotel was also called here for questioning. Room 307 was carefully examined, and each body was examined by the forensic and trace experts of the Elite Division, but they only ended up with a bunch of bullets and a vague conclusion. "Section Chief, judging from the traces we found at the scene, the murderer who attacked 307 is likely to be just one person, and it is the mysterious person we have been tracking."
Koji Ikeda, a trace expert in the Special High School, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief and informed the head of the Special High School Division, Seiichi Izata, of his judgment, "The bullets found at the scene were all 9mm pistol bullets, and no other bullets were found at the scene. From this, it can be basically judged that the people in 307 did not have time to shoot or did not have time to shoot at the time of the incident, which also shows that the murderer is a very good person. ”
Seeing that the section manager standing in front of the window did not seem to show any signs of anger, Koji Ikeda's tense nerves gradually relaxed, and he immediately guided Eiza Seiichi to the door of room 307. "Chief, come and see, there are two bullet holes in the door, which are the bullet holes left by the 9mm pistol bullet. So I can conclude that the murderer was standing outside the door and knocked on the door first, and then fired two shots in succession, and the bullet penetrated the door and hit Kojiro who came to open it. ”
Koji Ikeda's analysis was approved by the section manager, Seiichi Izata, and the body that collapsed in the doorway proved Koji Ikeda's judgment very well. Next, Koji Ikeda stretched out his right hand to hold a short gun, stepped over the corpse that had fallen behind the door, and then flashed to the living room of room 307, with a snapping sound in his mouth. The Iza Narichi who followed him looked carefully, and at the same time was very satisfied with Koji Ikeda's simulation process, but when Koji Ikeda stopped firing and changed the magazine, Ikaza's eyes flickered.
At that time, room 307 was gathered in an action team of the special high class, there were a total of 12 people in the team, and among the known pistols on the market, the largest ammunition capacity was only 8 bullets, unless the murderer was using a Mauser submachine pistol, otherwise it would definitely appear in the process of temporarily changing the magazine during the shooting. The members of the special high class action team, although they are not very skillful, but they are not all mediocre, once the murderer stops shooting and temporarily changes the magazine, he will definitely be counterattacked, but why is there no trace of the counterattack of the members of the action team at the scene?
This is the only flaw that Eichi Iza found at the scene, and it is also the point that trace expert Koji Ikeda is very puzzled about, and after deducing the entire attack process, the experienced Koji Ikeda also discovered this problem. "Ikeda-kun, do you think it's possible that the murderer was two people, or that the murderer still had a second pistol?" Tsuiza Chengyi suddenly had a new answer, and at this moment, a special high class agent hurried out and came down the corridor.
"Section chief, I have asked all the staff in this hotel, and the manager said that after all of us entered here, a middle-aged man with a special high school certificate went upstairs, but left quickly." The other party's words made Jing Zacheng frown, he knew that this middle-aged man with a special high school certificate was very suspicious, but at the same time, the appearance of this clue also proved that his inference just now was untenable.
Because of this small suspicion, both Seiichi Iza and Koji Ikeda fell into a misjudgment, but they also gained something, and according to the description of the hotel manager, the special high school finally had a portrait of the suspect in his hand. The portrait identified by the hotel manager was printed in many copies by the special high school magazine, and soon a large number of plainclothes agents and gangsters, with the portrait, began to secretly look for the murderer in the streets and alleys.
They didn't know that before Lu Yuan entered the hotel, he had already made the necessary disguises, the beard on his cheeks and some details of makeup, Lu Yuan successfully made the hotel manager treat him as a middle-aged man. The special high school is looking for a middle-aged man all over the world, and Lu Yuan, who has recovered his true appearance, is very leisurely following Huang Zonghan and the three of them all the way at this moment, without being discovered by the other party, Lu Yuan has successfully known Huang Zonghan's next destination.
Huang Zonghan and the three were not underground parties, nor were they military commanders, they came from another intelligence unit of the Nationalist government--- Zhongtong. The military commander's intelligence point in Shanghai was successively encircled and suppressed by the Special High School and No. 76, and not only did they suffer heavy losses in personnel, but they also failed to complete several tasks entrusted by the Ministry of Military Affairs one after another. The struggle between the Central Committee and the military command has been going on for a long time, and seeing that the military command is suffering from depletion in Shanghai, the Central Union immediately sent elite soldiers and strong generals into Shanghai in an attempt to gain a firm foothold in Shanghai under the intelligence that the military unification was in a slump.
Huang Zonghan took the task of establishing a central intelligence station in Shanghai, but he did not expect that on the first day he arrived in Shanghai, he would already be targeted by the Japanese military intelligence agencies. After settling into his new location, Huang Zonghan waited for his team to arrive and join him, while secretly wondering who would come to remind him to leave the hotel. After thinking about it, Huang Zonghan didn't think of an answer, and in desperation, he had to hide this doubt in his heart first.
Lu Yuan will help Huang Zonghan and them, just because the other party belongs to the camp of the Anti-Japanese War, no matter what the reputation of the Central Unification is, after all, the Central Unification at this time is still on the side of the Anti-Japanese War. After determining Huang Zonghan's new foothold, Lu Yuan left slowly, just shooting more than a dozen plainclothes spies of the special high class, Lu Yuan didn't think that this would cause much damage to the special high class, anyway, it was still early, Lu Yuan planned to continue to wander around the concession, and maybe he could find other targets worth starting.
Along the way, Lu Yuan walked all the way back to the hotel, and from a distance, Lu Yuan saw a lot of Japanese military police outside the hotel. Knowing that what happened in the hotel was likely to have been exposed, Lu Yuan mixed in with the lively flow of people and quietly looked at the hotel. About a cigarette time, more than a dozen guys in civilian clothes came out of the hotel, Lu Yuan secretly used the full-view map to search for seconds, and found that almost all of these guys came out of the Japanese intelligence officers.
