It turned out that the corpse had a bloody hole in its forehead, apparently hit by a bullet in the head, but the strange thing was that the whole face of the corpse collapsed, as if it had been heavily pressed by something, indescribably weird and terrifying.

Zhong Cheng hurriedly came over and said, "Lin Shuai, don't look at it." ”

Lin Yuan took a deep breath and said, "I'm fine, how can this corpse be like this?" ”

Zhong Cheng said: "Turn the corpse over and you may understand." ”

Lin Yuan said, "Then turn the corpse over." Zhong Cheng called over the two soldiers and flipped the corpse over, and as soon as he turned it over, Lin Yuan broke out in a cold sweat! It turned out that the back of the corpse's head had become a big blood hole, revealing Sen Sen's white bones, and the skull behind it had all been shattered, and there was not even a brain in it, no wonder the face collapsed.

Lin Yuan pointed to the back of his head and said, "What about the brain inside?" ”

Zhong Cheng said: "It seems that they have been torn apart by something, and they have been flowing outside, and we found them by the river, and the water has washed them away." ”

Lin Yuan pointed to the other three corpses and said, "They all die in the same way?" ”

Zhong Cheng said: "That's right, it's all the same, I was shot in the forehead, and the skull in the back was shattered." ”

Lin Yuan looked at the wound and said, "Right in the center of the eyebrows, it looks like a sniper did it." ”

Zhong Cheng said in surprise: "The enemy also has a sniper?" ”

Lin Yuan said nonchalantly: "Snipers have been around for decades, this is not strange. ”

Zhong Cheng shook his head and said, "Lin Shuai, I don't think it's possible to be a sniper!" ”

Lin Yuan asked, "What is impossible?" ”

Zhong Cheng replied: "These four people were all shot in the eyebrows, obviously one person did not escape after the other person died, if he escaped, it would be impossible for the eyebrows to be shot, so there must be several snipers shooting together, but the snipers are all working in pairs or acting alone, and a sniper group of four people is really rare." ”

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Your analysis is reasonable, but you have ignored a possibility, that is, after the enemy's sniper fired a shot, others did not notice." ”

Zhong Cheng shook his head and said: "Impossible, we went to see the river, although the sound of flowing water is not small, it is impossible to cover the sound of gunshots." ”

Lin Yuan said: "What if a silencer is installed? ”

Zhong Cheng said with a smile: "We have all seen the broken guns of the Qing court, and it is impossible to install a silencer on the muzzle!" ”

Lin Yuan said thoughtfully: "Maybe they have a new gun that can be equipped with a silencer." ”

Zhong Cheng was speechless for a while, and only said after a while: "Lin Shuai, I can't figure it out, what bullet can be so powerful that it shattered the heads of our soldiers!" We have all seen the bullets used by the Mauser M1871 in the Qing court, and they can't penetrate through the flesh, how can they break their heads? ”

Lin Yuan said: "I see that the Qing court must have used a brand new bullet, which will explode after entering the human body. ”

Zhong Cheng said: "Can the Qing court load explosives into bullets? It's not easy to dig a hole in such a small warhead to put explosives in it! ”

Lin Yuan shook his head and said: "The bullet can explode not necessarily because there is explosives in it, only the material of the warhead is relatively soft, or the bullet has prestressed stripes on it when it is processed, and the bullet will explode due to high-speed collision after it is fired into the target!" ”

Zhong Cheng exclaimed: "Where did the Qing court get these advanced things? ”

As soon as Zhong Cheng's words came out, Lin Yuan suddenly remembered Yamamoto Yun's words: Super weapon! Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Could it be that silencers and new bullets are super weapons?" The foreigners will definitely secretly support the Qing court, will they give the Qing court some secret weapons? Lin Yuan was thinking about it, and his eyes suddenly fell on the blood hole on the corpse's forehead.

Lin Yuan turned back to Zhong Cheng and said, "Look at that blood hole, did you find anything wrong?" ”

Zhong Cheng looked at it for a while and said, "Something is wrong? There's nothing wrong with that, right? ”

Lin Yuan stretched out his hand and said, "Bring a ruler." ”

Zhong Cheng went out to get a ruler, Lin Yuan put the ruler on the blood hole and said, "Did you find something wrong?" ”

Zhong Cheng exclaimed: "Caliber! The diameter of the blood hole should be the diameter of the bullet, and it can only be larger than the diameter of the bullet, not smaller than it, the diameter of this blood hole is a little more than seven millimeters, and the aperture of the Mauser M1871 rifle used by the Qing army is 11 mm, this blood hole must not be played by Mauser M1871, it seems that the Qing army used a new rifle! ”

Lin Yuan said: "Yes, the Qing army not only used a new rifle, but also used a new sniper tactic!" ”

Zhong Cheng said: "Such words are too bad for us, you also know that now the sorghum is ripening, and there are green gauze tents more than one person high everywhere!" If the enemy uses the green gauze tent as a cover to attack us, I am afraid that we will be in trouble. ”

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said: "Now there are only four people sacrificed, it may be a bit arbitrary to determine that the enemy has regarded sniping as a tactic based on this alone, and it is also possible that a few people with superb marksmanship came out by chance, Yuan Shikai's troops still have sharpshooters, I have also seen it, so let's go to the scene and have a look." ”

Zhong Cheng hesitated for a moment and said, "What if the enemy really uses sniping as a tactic?" That would be dangerous outside, so we still don't want to go. ”

Lin Yuan said: "Let's find an open place to go, no matter how accurate the sniper's marksmanship is, he won't dare to compete with a group of us, so they don't dare to fight in the open area, so we won't be in danger." ”

Zhong Cheng agreed to come down and took more than a dozen cars to the accident site, the car walked along the empty road for a while, Zhong Cheng pointed to the side with his hand and said: "The accident site is there, a small river, there is a small forest by the river, the enemy is likely to hide in the woods and shoot." ”

Lin Yuan got out of the car with someone, and then asked Zhong Cheng, "Do you remember the location of the dead body?" ”

Zhong Cheng said: "Remember, Lin Shuai, come with me." As he spoke, he led Lin Yuan to the river, pointed to a few big stones and said, "Their dead bodies are planted in those places." ”

Lin Yuan looked at the river in front of him, now the weather is relatively hot, and there has been no rain recently, so there is very little water left in the river, like a stream, crystal clear, Lin Yuan walked to the place where the dead body was planted, squatted down, and saw that there were still dried blood stains on the stone, Lin Yuan said: "You immediately divide into several groups, look for the warhead near the location of the dead body, and see what kind of bullet they are using." ”

Everyone then squatted down to look for it, the bottom of the river was full of pebbles, and there were gaps everywhere, Lin Yuan looked for a while and didn't find a warhead, so he couldn't help but stand up, pointed to the woods on the opposite bank and asked Zhong Cheng: "Have you gone in and searched?" ”

Zhong Cheng said: "We found the corpses and brought them back, and we didn't have time to go in to see them. ”

Lin Yuan said, "Let's go in and have a look." Then he looked at the location of the four dead bodies, calculated briefly in his mind, pointed to a forest and said, "According to these positions, the sniper should have fired at that position, let's go in and take a look." ”

Lin Yuan took Zhong Cheng into the woods, there was grass below his ankles, Lin Yuan looked around, only to see a piece of grass was obviously lower than others, Lin Yuan walked over, only to see that the grass on the ground was overwhelmed, Lin Yuan squatted down, looked at the grass carefully, and couldn't help frowning.
