Chapter 64: Besieged
The ability of the special high class to obtain information is undoubted, as long as you can do one thing with patience, you can get the effect of making others look at it in the shortest possible time. Kuroto has already proved his ability with the two clues he has found, although he has also failed to find the trace of the murderer, but the direction of his search has been approved and supported by many people in the special high class. On the map in front of Hei Teng, he had already marked large and small arrows and dotted lines, and based on the steps and speed of yesterday's military police blockade of Hongkou District, Hei Teng quickly marked a range on the map with a red pen.
The place that Kuroteng marked with a red pen was the area where he speculated that the murderer might be hiding, and seeing that all his subordinates looked at him with puzzled expressions, Kuroto simply explained patiently. According to the gendarmes at the scene, they heard the explosion and saw Yamamoto Osa fall from a bullet. Since the traces department has confirmed that the murderer is just one person, then, when Yamamoto Daisa was shot, the murderer should be in this position. ā
Yamamoto Osa was shot and fell, and Captain Omi chose to use his body to protect Yamamoto Osa and took out a first-aid kit to bandage Yamamoto Osa's wounds. You should pay attention to the fact that at this time, the murderer on the roof on the left side of the street opened fire again, and shot Nakayama Daisa and Omitsu Commander one after another. Therefore, according to the results of our previous deduction at the scene, the murderer locked onto the target on the left roof of the street and fired several shots, and he had to stay in this position for at least more than 30 seconds. ā
"The gendarmerie closed all the checkpoints after the explosions were heard, and it took at least five minutes to get to the nearest checkpoint from the scene." At this point, Kuroto paused abruptly. "This five-minute statistic is the conclusion that I had Ogasawara test on his bicycle come to with it, and if it were the situation at the time of the incident, the murderer would have taken a little longer. This means that it is impossible for the killer to leave Hongkou District before the gendarmes close all the levels. ā
Kuroto's analysis, although mostly just his own inference, was also nodded in agreement by most of the people present. "Another point to note is that after the military police closed all the checkpoints one after another, they immediately mobilized a large number of troops to implement traffic control at various intersections in Hongkou. The purpose of the Military Police Command is to divide the Hongkou District into sections, and then concentrate search forces to conduct detailed searches one by one. "What Kuroteng said at this moment, everyone present was a witness to the two intensive searches yesterday.
"I have always had a feeling that the two searches yesterday found no trace of the murderer, but I feel that he should still be in Hongkou District, and it is within the range I marked with a red pen." Hei Teng's judgment finally attracted everyone's secret exclamation, and everyone gathered here because Hei Teng thought that the murderer was still in Hongkou District. But everyone didn't expect that Hei Teng would be so sure at this moment, and actually believed that the murderer was hiding in the range he marked.
However, among these people, a few people also understood Hei Teng's previous analysis, and at this moment, looking at the other dotted lines and circles marked by Hei Teng on the map of Hongkou District, this was basically done in accordance with the steps of yesterday's military police force to blockade Hongkou District. "Kuroto-kun, do you mean that the murderer was probably cordoned off by the gendarmerie yesterday and confined to the area you marked?" A gendarmerie officer from the gendarmerie headquarters was the first to speak out and asked Kuroto.
"That's right, that's what I meant!" Kuroto, who was asked by the words, nodded and replied without hesitation. "Yesterday's two searches yielded nothing, and if the murderer failed to leave Hongkou District, then he would have found a place to hide. It will take time to find a suitable place to hide, and the gendarmerie unit searched house to house yesterday, and even if the murderer finds a place to hide, it is unlikely that he will be able to avoid two searches in a row. ā
"In this area I marked with a red pen, there are many military dependents living here, this is not that I am saying that the gendarmes have not contributed or neglected their duties, I just want to say that if it were me, I might have skimmed over the residence of the military commander." Kurotto's words made the military police officer who asked him stiffen his face, and in fact, if he were to change his place, he might not dare to search the residence of the commander in the army.
"There's a saying in China that it's dark under the lights, which means that the most dangerous place is probably the safest place to hide. In addition, there are many residences for military dependents, and when the gendarmes conduct searches, they are often negligent in such places. After a few breaths, some people have already looked up at the black vine with a calm face, and these people have obviously agreed with the black vine in their hearts.
"Kuroto-kun, what should we do now?" After Kuroteng said all his inferences and evidence, someone finally asked the most critical point, since Kuroteng has judged the approximate scope of the murderer's hiding, then next, should it be time to concentrate on manpower to carry out a more detailed search of this area? Finding out this murderer is not only the most urgent matter at the moment, but also the urgent need for the military police headquarters.
"First mobilize people to cordon off the area, and then check everyone in the area according to the household registration. Those who are not in the household registration are naturally the objects of our suspicions, "The two inconclusive searches yesterday gave Kuroto a lot of inspiration, and this time, he plans to change the search method to eliminate possible omissions." At this moment, Hei Teng didn't know that he was just locking on to the area where Tang Cheng was hiding, and Tang Cheng in the cellar didn't know that the place where he was hiding was about to undergo the third major search.
The large-scale search led by Kuroteng was immediately recognized by the Special High School Division and the Military Police Command, and then personnel were dispatched to cooperate with the large-scale search commanded by Kuroto. Yesterday's total blockade and two successive searches had already caused panic among the people in Hongkou District, and the reappearance of a large number of gendarmes and police officers at this moment immediately caused a riot. "Let's get moving!" Kuroteng ignored the angry residents very strongly, and just gave the order to start the search operation with an indifferent face, and in an instant, a large number of gendarmes rushed into the area that had been blocked.
The search led by Kuroto was much more detailed, and the gendarmes who were divided into groups not only checked their identity documents, but also checked each person according to their household registration, and as long as those who were not on the household registration register, even if they could produce their identity documents, they would be under the centralized supervision of the gendarmes. In just half an hour, with the cooperation of a large number of plainclothes officers and police, six people who were not registered in the household register were already searched. The smooth start gave Hei Teng and the others great confidence, but after their preliminary inquiry, there was no problem with the identities of these six people.
When Tang Cheng found that the situation was not good, the figure of the gendarme had already appeared in the courtyard where the cellar was located, and Tang Cheng, who faintly heard the footsteps and talking, secretly took out a ** pistol from his carry-on equipment bag, and then stopped under the cellar along the wooden ladder. If he is blocked in this cellar, he can only be a dead end, although Tang Cheng thought in his heart that the cellar would not be discovered by the other party, but where in the world would there be foolproof things.
Tang Cheng in the cellar was ready to fight hard at the moment, once the cellar where he was hiding was discovered, the only chance to survive was to rush out first and then find a chance to get out. Tang Cheng's hunch was not wrong, the gendarmes who appeared in the courtyard not only carefully inspected the furnishings in the courtyard, but also used bayonets to stab the flowers and trees in the courtyard, and the entrance to the cellar hidden behind the flowers and trees was also continuously stabbed with bayonets.
Covering the entrance to the cellar was a wooden plank hidden under the turf, and the feeling of the bayonet hitting the dirt and the plank naturally differed, and the gendarme, who noticed the abnormality, first shook it for a moment, and then opened its mouth to shout. "Here... Here'sā" But before he could shout the two words of question, he suddenly saw a piece of turf and dirt being lifted in front of him, and then a black hole appeared in front of him. The muzzle of the gun was so close that there was hardly time to dodge, only to see the flash of the gun, and the half-open mouth of the gendarme seemed to have been punched head-on, and one fell backwards on his back into the mud.
Tang Cheng, who had succeeded in one blow, quickly rushed out of the cellar, and without waiting for the other people in the courtyard to react, he just knelt on the spot, and the ** pistol in his hand was already flattened. "Poof! Burst! The remaining bullets in the ... magazine were all wiped out by Tang Cheng in a short period of time, and with a continuous soft sound, the gendarmerie soldiers and plainclothes agents of the special high school who appeared in this courtyard fell in a pool of blood one after another.
Tang Cheng appeared too suddenly, so he had the opportunity to catch the other party off guard, but when Tang Cheng climbed the wall and tried to climb over the wall to leave, he suddenly found that there were still many armed gendarmes and plainclothes agents of the special high school in the streets outside. Tang Cheng, who was shocked in his heart, let go of his hand and slipped back into the courtyard from the wall, knowing that Tang Cheng had fallen into the surroundment, he was not too flustered, but quickly thought of a way to get out in his mind.
There are too many Japanese troops outside, and it is impossible for him to succeed in a sneak attack every time, and besides, he only has two weapons in his carry-on equipment bag, one long and one short. On his own, it is obviously impossible to defeat the Japanese troops outside, and since he can't fight hard, he can only outwit them. Tang Cheng, who used his brains, quickly thought of a way, but this method was too dangerous, and Tang Cheng himself didn't know if he could successfully get out.
