Chapter Twenty-Nine: Whimsy

"Lu, you are happy now, but the sky in Shanghai has been poked into a big hole by you." Lu Yuan, who had a good night's sleep, received a call from Hans early the next morning, but Hans only complained a little on the phone, and then changed the topic to the goods that were transported from Cao Ji to the warehouse in the dock area last night. "Lu, this batch of goods is very valuable, but unfortunately, we may not be able to ship it immediately. Because of Zhang Xiaolin's assassination, Shanghai has become a mess, and now selling these goods may cause trouble, do you know what I mean? ”

What Hans was worried about, Lu Yuan naturally knew, so he didn't need to say anything Hans said at all, Lu Yuan agreed on the phone. "No problem, I'm just going to rest for a while these days, but what should He Jinshui say?" Lu Yuan did not refuse Hans's suggestion, but he suddenly remembered He Jinshui, and the cause of this incident was because of He Jinshui.

"Hehe, don't pay attention to him, because of Zhang Xiaolin's death, the Green Gang is looking for the murderer all over the world. If the Qing Gang had to kill Zhang Xiaolin because of a batch of tobacco, He Jinshui would immediately become the target of the Qing Gang, He Jinshui is a smart person, if my guess is right, He Jinshui would have been hiding a long time ago. Hans's voice seemed a little schadenfreude on the phone, and Lu Yuan immediately understood what Hans meant, it seemed that that batch of tobacco had nothing to do with He Jinshui, the unlucky bastard.

In the next few days, the citizens of Shanghai finally saw the madness of the Green Gang, and countless Green Gangs appeared on the streets, and with the help of the class and No. 76, they formed a tight net, and arranged manpower on the docks, at the stations, and on the traffic arteries. But it's a pity that Lu Yuan rarely goes out after returning to his residence, and even when he goes out, Cruze drives to pick up Lu Yuan, so this large-scale action by the Green Gang and the Japanese can only be in vain in the end.

The assassination of Zhang Xiaolin eventually turned into an unsolved case, and the Japanese were very dissatisfied with it, and the military commanders who learned of the incident also launched an investigation into the matter, but like the Japanese, the military commanders also had no clue at all. "Nani? Are you really sure that the killer used the same bullet as the mysterious man? In the office of the Trace Identification Section of the Shanghai Special High School, Shinichi Ono, the newly appointed head of the Trace Identification Section, was discussing the warhead test report found at the scene with his trace experts.

Zhang Xiaolin was assassinated, and the first person to feel the scene was the person No. 76, and then the special high school, but because of the instructions and orders of the military police headquarters, the case of the warhead found at the scene was transferred to the special high school. Shinichi Ono, the new head of the Trace Identification Section, is a typical study abroad school, and he just casually looked at the bullet and immediately recognized that it was a bullet from an American M2 large-caliber heavy machine gun.

After careful comparison, the Trace Identification Section quickly found a matching record in the warhead trace file that was already in the special high school, but the file with the record was sealed, at least Shinichi Ono, the head of the Trace Identification Section, had no right to inspect it. Being able to be sent to the United States to study and transferred to a special high school immediately after returning from school shows that Shinichi Ono is definitely not a mediocre person. After double-checking the data with his trace experts, Shinichi Ono immediately reported the matter to his superiors, and at the same time sent a report to the military police headquarters.

Although Ono could not guess what role the gendarmerie command played in the sealed file, he speculated that the gendarmerie command would have made the right decision if he had read his report. Sure enough, a day later, Shinichi Ono suddenly received an order to go to the gendarmerie headquarters immediately. Shinichi Ono, who studied in the United States, is an ambitious person who was transferred to a special high class, and Shinichi Ono is actually not very reluctant, and this trip to the military police headquarters may be a shortcut for him to enter the military circles.

When he arrived at the military police headquarters, Shinichi Ono, who was full of joy, was a little disappointed, because he didn't see the commander, and the only one waiting for him in the office was a military police officer named Fujiwara. "Section Chief Ono, I have already read the report you submitted to the headquarters. Just by relying on a few warheads found at the scene, it is not too reluctant to judge that these attacks are related to the Americans, you know, the empire still needs the support of the Americans. ”

Fujiwara Nakasa's words made Shinichi Ono very puzzled, the other party did not explain his position, and he still hid a sharp edge in his words, did he want to press this matter with one hand? Wouldn't all your efforts be in vain? A bad smell rose in Shinichi Ono's heart, and Fujiwara Nakasa, who had been paying attention to the change in his expression, continued, "Section Chief Ono, it seems that you didn't mean what I just meant, I'm asking you, how can you be sure that this matter is related to the Americans?" Is it just those warheads? ”

Fujiwara Nakasa's sharp shouting made Ono Shinchi come back to his senses, and carefully recalled Fujiwara Nakasa's words just now, Ono Shin'ichi couldn't help but secretly feel hot on his face, as if he was wrong. Shinichi Ono immediately coughed dryly, and after sorting out his thoughts, he replied to Fujiwara Nakasa, who had been looking at him. "Actually, it's not just because of those bullets, this large-caliber bullet is the bullet of the American M2 large-caliber heavy machine gun, and the Americans have never exported this large-caliber heavy machine gun to the outside world."

"If you want to fire a bullet with a caliber of 12.7, the strength of the weapon is the key, and the people of China will never be able to make this kind of weapon. When I was studying in the United States, I heard that the Americans were developing a large-caliber individual anti-tank weapon, and I thought it would be the same as the Soviet anti-tank gun. Excluding the machine guns on fighter planes, this 12.7 caliber bullet should be the largest caliber bullet among the infantry weapons of the US military. ”

"So you think the weapon used by the assassin to assassinate Zhang Xiaolin has something to do with the new infantry weapons that the Americans are developing?" Hearing this, Fujiwara Nakasa had already admired and understood what Shinichi Ono meant, so he didn't wait for Shinichi Ono to finish speaking, so he took the lead.

"At first, I wasn't sure, because looking at the attitude of the Americans, they didn't really support the Chinese people. However, before I was transferred to Shanghai, I had studied for a period of time at the local headquarters of the special high-tech headquarters, and in the archives of the special high-tech headquarters, there were two archival records of the Tokyo fire. In February and June last year, there were two fires in Tokyo, and coincidentally, when Tegaoke later inspected the scene of the June fire, he also found a cartridge case of a large-caliber bullet. ”

"I was very curious about this matter, and I kept it in my heart, until this time, because Zhang Xiaolin was assassinated, when I checked the trace data at the scene, I suddenly found this large-caliber bullet, and I suddenly remembered the large-caliber bullet casing found at the scene of the Tokyo fire. Since June last year, there have been successive incidents of attacks on gendarmerie units and intelligence personnel in Shanghai and Tianjin, and the appearance of large-caliber bullets has been discovered by the special high-tech departments in both places, and it is not difficult to come to the conclusion that the same group of people who caused the fires in Tokyo and attacked the gendarmerie units in Shanghai and Tianjin should have been the same people. ”

Although Shinichi Ono's analysis sounded a little messy, Fujiwara Nakasa listened very carefully, thinking carefully about the connection, Fujiwara Nakasa couldn't help nodding secretly, it seems that this guy from the study abroad school is not a fool who eats white rice. "I surveyed all the foreigners who came in and out of Tokyo in June last year, and most of them were Americans, and we have to admit that the Americans' industrial manufacturing capacity is the best in the world, even if they are Germans." Fujiwara Nakasa's nodding action was seen by Ono Shinsei, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and he immediately began to lead the topic to the United States.

"In today's world, only the war that took place in China can be regarded as a big war, and the Americans have always had the habit of putting unshaped weapons into combat tests first. So I suddenly had an idea in my mind about whether there would be such a possibility, that the Americans had created a single weapon capable of using large-caliber heavy machine gun bullets. The presence of this weapon in China is actually a new weapons test by the United States, but it is likely that there are ethnic Chinese in this weapons testing team, after all, it would be convenient for them to move here, which would explain why there have been frequent attacks on military police and intelligence officers since last June. ”

"According to your analysis, Zhang Xiaolin's assassination was just an accident, or was it the result of the self-assertion of the Chinese in that weapons testing team?" Fujiwara Nakasa has basically believed Ono Shinichi's previous analysis at this moment, but for Zhang Xiaolin's assassination, Fujiwara Nakasa still feels that there are many doubts. After all, in the targeted attacks that Ono just mentioned, the frequency of large-caliber bullets was not very high, and this time, Zhang Xiaolin, the assassin used large-caliber bullets completely throughout the whole process.

"It is not difficult to understand that in the eyes of the Chinese, Zhang Xiaolin stands with the Japanese Empire, then he is a traitor. Although the Chinese army has been losing ground and their government has withdrawn again and again, the popular resistance has not stopped, especially the assassination of traitors. As long as there are Chinese in that weapons testing team, the assassination of Zhang Xiaolin is possible, after all, a week ago, Zhang Xiaolin had just cooperated with our special high-tech to complete a round-up of the concession resistance. ”

Shinichi Ono attributed the assassination of Zhang Xiaolin to the recklessness of the American weapons testing team, and this conclusion sounded a bit whimsical at first, but after listening carefully to Shinichi Ono's analysis, Fujiwara Nakasa felt that there was some truth. "But why did the Americans' weapons testing teams attack the Imperial gendarmes and intelligence officers? Shouldn't they test weapons and go to a war zone? Fujiwara Nakasa asked questions again, and this question was also something that Ono didn't figure out.
