Yamada Otomo racked his brains, searched his stomach, and told some of his conjectures about vipers and pit vipers one by one.

Finally, he was afraid that Akira Quartz would not be satisfied, and continued: "There is also Ma Weide from the Investigation Section, who has also been investigating the case of the murder of Harada's consultant, and has already arrested two habitual thieves who often operate in the Taiyuan area, both of whom are good at using flying tiger claws, and are currently following this clue to continue to investigate." ”

However, his answer still did not satisfy Aka Quartz, because although what Yamada Otomo said was very organized and logical, in the final analysis, it was all speculation and judgment of the goal, and none of them could be implemented and truly determined.

There are hundreds of thousands of people in Taiyuan City, and there are at least tens of thousands of young and strong people between the ages of 25 and 30.

As for height and body shape, you must know that people in northern China are generally taller than those in the south, and in this era, because of poor living conditions and lack of nutrition, the body shape of Chinese civilians is basically thin, and it is difficult to find a fat person on the street.

However, he still nodded and said: "These judgments you said can be used as a basis for finding vipers and pit vipers, but it is not enough to rely on guesses, and the purpose should be stronger."

As for Mavid's side, you should be careful, in short, you must find these two poisonous snakes, otherwise I will still hold you accountable for your dereliction of duty. ”

"Yes, I will definitely find them as soon as possible and avenge Team Leader Yoshioka." Hearing the tone of Akira Quartz Tree's loosening, Yamada Otomo knew that he had finally passed this level, and he couldn't help but feel relieved and secretly rejoiced.

But in the end, he still has more responsibility than fear, knowing that some situations cannot be hidden, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable, so he stubbornly continued to report: "Section Chief, there is one more thing that I must report to you. ”

"What else?"

"Team leader Yoshioka usually carries a black briefcase with him, and when I left this morning, I saw it with my own eyes, but today at the scene, I searched it carefully, but I never found it......

Briefcase?

Akira Quartz's eyes tightened, his face became solemn, he looked at Yoshioka Masao's corpse, recalled carefully in his mind, and recalled that Yoshioka Masao did often carry a black briefcase before, but in a hurry, he was negligent, and hurriedly asked: "What is in this briefcase?" ”

"I don't know." Yamada Otomo shook his head helplessly, as the intelligence chief, how could Masao Yoshioka let others know what he could carry, even if it was his assistant.

"I don't know exactly what Team Leader Yoshioka is going to do, and I don't dare ask, but I've just asked the patrol officers in the vicinity.

At around 9:30 a.m., they were still outside the gate and saw Asano and Akiyama, who were in charge of guarding the place, that is, before 9:30, they were all alive, the murderer did not attack, and even the Yoshioka team leader should not have entered the house, otherwise Akiyama and Asano should have stayed downstairs and obeyed orders at any time.

But this morning, Team Leader Yoshioka had already left the special high school class at about eight o'clock, and there was a gap of an hour and a half in between, I don't know his itinerary, I don't know if you know? ”

Yamada Otomo was also very careful, and when he found out that the black briefcase was missing, he immediately conducted a detailed investigation, and soon found the police patrolling nearby to understand the situation.

But Aka Quartz shook his head, he didn't know anything about Yoshioka Masao's itinerary today, because Yoshioka Masao had too much work in his hands and couldn't report everything to him, but he suddenly remembered something.

Just three days ago, Yoshioka Masao reported to him, saying that a senior member of the Political and Health Department had sent an invitation to Yoshioka Masao through a covert channel, willing to contact Yoshioka Masao in private, and had sent a special envoy into Taiyuan, but Yoshioka Masao did not know the specific identity of this senior agent and was preparing for further contact.

At that time, after receiving the report, he also specially instructed Yoshioka Masao to seize the time to get in touch, and it was best to instigate against this person and make active preparations for the upcoming secret negotiations between the two sides.

Yes, it should be like this, the military commander agent has just assassinated Yoshioka Masao, and at such a tense moment, Yoshioka Masao still has to dress up and hide people's eyes, there must be an important task that he does not want others to know, and it is very likely that he will contact the senior agent of the Political and Health Department.

After the meeting, Masao Yoshioka came to the house again and continued to meet with Han Zhirong, but was assassinated by vipers and pit vipers who were ambushed here.

So what's in the lost briefcase? Could it be that there is significant information about this negotiation? How much is at stake?

Aka Quartz frowned tightly and walked back and forth in the room a few times, his heart tangled.

Yamada Otomo watched from the sidelines, wondering if his question was inappropriate to let his boss act like this.

For a long time, Aka Quartz looked at Yamada Otomo with some hesitation, and finally decided that he still couldn't say anything to Yamada Otomo.

You must know that the matter of the preparation of secret talks between the Japanese side and the Jin army is related to changes in the war situation, and the stakes are very important, and it is still in the top-secret stage, and at the level of Yamada Otomo, he is not qualified to be involved in this matter.

"Yamada, I don't know Yoshioka-kun's schedule, all the answers, I still need you to solve the mystery, I will also verify all aspects of the information as soon as possible, take a look, what is in the briefcase.

Now, I order you to take over Yoshioka-kun's work for the time being, and the first task is to capture the viper and pit viper, and retrieve the briefcase, if you are able to do this, I will consider applying to the headquarters for you to officially take over the position of head of the intelligence team, do you understand what I mean? ”

Yamada Otomo couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard it, he had been looking forward to this promotion before, and even asked Yoshioka Masao directly to recommend himself, he thought that as soon as Yoshioka Masao died, he had no hope, but he didn't expect that the willows were bright, and the section chief not only did not blame him, but had the intention of promotion, it was simply a pie falling from the sky.

At this time, he immediately stood up and said in a loud voice: "Please rest assured, I will do my best and will never let you down!" ”

At this moment, an intelligence officer walked into the room quickly and reported: "The patrol officers have caught the beggar who made trouble before, and it is downstairs." ”

"What beggar?" Aka Quartz's gaze looked at Yamada Otomo.

When Yamada Otomo heard this, he quickly explained to Aka Quartz: "When I asked the patrol police before, they provided a situation that at about 9:30 this morning, there was a beggar who made trouble at this gate and asked them to drive them away, and it was at that time that they saw Akiyama and Asano, and I thought there was a problem, so I asked them to look nearby, and it should have been brought by someone." ”

"Let's take a look!"

The two of them went downstairs together and came to the hall on the first floor, where the intelligence officers of the special high school were surveying the scene, and an intelligence officer was holding a camera to take pictures of Yokoyama's body, because the neck artery was punctured, a large amount of blood was lost, and the whole hall was filled with a pungent smell of blood.

Ming Quartz Tree came to Hengshan's corpse, with a trace of sadness in his eyes, this is his bodyguard and confidant who has followed him for many years, but just a few days after leaving his side, he is here, even if Ming Quartz Tree City Mansion is extremely deep and his mind is firm, it is inevitable that his heart will ache at this time, and he will be secretly sad.

At this time, two Japanese patrol officers brought a man in tattered clothes, stood upright, and reported: "We sent people everywhere, and finally found this guy, according to him, he was originally a beggar in the south of the city, and someone gave him a sum of money to make trouble at the gate of the house at about 9:30. ”

Sure enough, it was premeditated! Yamada Otomo asked sharply: "You tell me what happened, and also, what does the person who bought you look like?" ”

The man was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, his face was pale, and his body was weak, if it weren't for the Japanese patrol officers holding him right and left, he was afraid that he would have collapsed to the ground.

At this time, when he heard the inquiry, he quickly replied tremblingly: "Just... Just last night, there were... A man came to me and gave me fifty yuan, and asked me to come here at about half past nine this morning, pretending to be a relative of the dealer to squeeze some oil and water, and he said that he wanted to disgust the boss surnamed Zhuang, and the bigger the movement, the better......"

"That's it!" Yamada Otomo interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and as soon as the beggar spoke, he understood that it was probably the military commander agent who was bribing the beggar with money, attracting attention at the gate, and the voice was striking everywhere, "Can you tell me more about this person's appearance and body shape, and what are the characteristics?" Listen clearly, if you dare to talk nonsense, different from what we know, I will shoot you right away! ”

With that, he pulled out his pistol and put it directly on the man's head.

"No, no, I will answer truthfully, and I will never talk nonsense......"

The beggar waved his hand in fright, until Yamada Taitomo withdrew his gun, and then he recounted: "This man is about thirty years old, wearing a long robe, tall and thin, half a head taller than me, and his face is sallow, yes, yes... He's a pockmarked face! ”

"Pockmarked face?"

Aka Quartz Tree and Yamada Otomo are both eye-catching, this clue is different from the previous conjecture, it is evidence that can be put into practice, and the characteristics are obvious, the recognition is high, and it is very valuable for intelligence, which greatly narrows the scope and difficulty of screening.

Yamada Otomo then inquired carefully about the situation and asked the beggar to be brought down.

Yamada Daiyu turned around and reported to Aka Quartz Tree: "Section Chief, according to what this beggar said, the appearance and physical signs of the person who bought him are roughly consistent with my previous conjecture, the body is thin, the limbs are slender, and the figure is tall, but the age is a little older, but there are many variables in this condition, so you can not make a reference, especially this person is a pockmarked face, which is very important, I judge that this person should be one of the two poisonous snakes." ”

Aka Quartz nodded slightly, and said, "It shouldn't be wrong, their plan of action is very well designed, pay for beggars, attract the attention of Asano and Akiyama at the gate, and take the opportunity to sneak into the house from the back door and ambush Yoshioka-kun and others."

However, it can also be seen from this that the viper and the pit viper lack helpers around them, and they do this trick of attacking the east and west, not using their own people, but also hiring a beggar to participate in it, which is a big flaw, and it also leaves us with important clues.

Yamada, you immediately organize personnel and police forces to search and arrest the whole city again, and all those who meet this condition will be arrested, and this beggar will identify them, and you must find these two poisonous snakes! ”

"Hey!" Yamada Otomo shouted his order.
