In the evidence room of the intelligence group of the Japanese Special High School, there is a pile of clothes and weapons stacked on a long workbench.

The clothes were more than a dozen sets of police uniforms, neatly arranged, with many bullet holes on them, soaked in bloodstains, which were the clothes worn by the members of the military command operation during the previous assassination of Masao Yoshioka.

There were also weapons stacked on the side, eight medium spears and twelve shell lances.

Yamada Otomo is standing in front of the workbench, holding a police uniform in front of his eyes and examining it carefully, his fingers gently rubbing the fabric, feeling the texture in his hands.

Since late that night, after the Taiyuan Station Action Team assassinated Yoshioka Masao, because the action team was almost completely wiped out, except for Yamada Otomo's only living mouth for interrogation, after getting the two code names of Viper and Pit Viper, nothing else was found, and Yoshioka Masao believed that the military command action force had suffered a fatal blow and collapsed, so the investigation work came to an end and did not continue to investigate.

But a few days later, Yoshioka Masao was assassinated again, and this time he did not escape the catastrophe, and finally died at the hands of the viper and the pit viper.

After taking over the work, Yamada Otomo tried his best to track down the murderer, but there was still no new progress, and under the strict orders of the section chief Akira Quartz, he racked his brains, and finally put his hope on the only living mouth.

The hard work paid off, and this interrogation still allowed him to find some clues.

According to the new confession, shortly after the action team entered Taiyuan, the captain Shan Ying had already designed an action plan, and the weapons and police uniforms used in the operation were prepared by the Taiyuan Station and delivered to Shan Ying before the operation.

In other words, as long as the source of the weapons and police uniforms is found, you can follow this clue and trace the traces of the Taiyuan intelligence station of the military commander, so Yamada Otomo took out all the items seized in the attack and tried to find valuable clues from them.

Yamada Otomo inspected for a long time, the first thing he paid attention to was the weapon, this attack, the military command team was thoughtful, in order to camouflage, they did not use their usual Browning pistol, but used this most popular gun type, medium formal rifle and barge short gun, these two types of guns are widely used in the security army and police departments, from the appearance and rifling degree of wear, these guns are old guns, and they have been used for a long time.

Now Shanxi is a time of frequent wars, the Japanese organized a puppet army, also called the security army, the number is huge, the source is complex, the quality is uneven, the army resells materials and munitions is not uncommon, the people also have a lot of hidden guns and ammunition, the Japanese are also difficult to manage, want to trace the source of these guns, it is really too difficult.

Since the weapons were difficult to trace, Yamada Otomo put his hope on the origin of these police uniforms, and after some careful inspection, he finally found some clues.

At this moment, an intelligence officer walked in and reported to Yamada Otomo: "Shaozuo, the people from the police station and the quilt factory are here. ”

"Let them in!" Hearing this, Yamada Otomo put down the police uniform in his hand and nodded.

The intelligence officer withdrew, and soon brought in two men, one of whom was wearing a police uniform and was not good-looking, and the other was dressed in civilian clothes, with a thin body and a wrinkled forehead, which looked a little old.

Both of them were trembling and nervous, Yamada Otomo glanced at them, raised his hand and pointed at the man in police uniform, and asked, "You are the person in charge of the equipment section of the police station?" ”

The policeman hurriedly stepped forward, came to the front, stood up and saluted, and said: "Shao Zuo, the lowly position is Chen Zhida, the chief of the equipment section of the Taiyuan Police Department, and I was ordered to come and listen to your instructions. ”

Yamada nodded, looked at the older man again, and asked, "Are you from the clothing factory?" ”

The old man hurriedly replied: "Yes, my name is Cai Maoshi, and I am the workshop supervisor of the military clothing factory, and the factory director notified me to come and wait for the dispatch." ”

Yamada Otomo snorted, waved his hand and said, "Section Chief Chen, you come over first to see if these police uniforms are commonly used in your police station." ”

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Chen Zhida hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the police uniform on the table, checked it carefully, and quickly saw that something was wrong, shook his head and said: "This is not our police uniform, generally when we issue police uniforms, we will stamp a red seal on the inside of the collar, and write the name of the police officer in red ink, so as not to make mistakes when issuing them, but the inside of the collar of these police uniforms is clean and clean, without a single mark." ”

Yamada then asked, "Is it possible that you didn't have a spare police uniform that you didn't issue and therefore didn't have a mark?" ”

"No, we only have a few spare police uniforms, and when I came, I checked them on purpose, and none of them were missing, and I can guarantee that this is definitely not lost from us."

Chen Zhida tried his best to defend himself, for fear that he would have something to do with this assassination.

Yamada Otomo was not surprised to hear this, when he examined the body of the task force, he found that the police uniforms worn by the deceased were fat and thin, and the length was very suitable, that is, these police uniforms should be tailor-made.

However, the general production of police uniforms, because of the huge number of police officers, it is impossible to tailor them for each policeman, they are divided into several fixed sizes and styles, uniformly made, and then issued to police officers, so that most of the clothes received by the police are not very fit.

Therefore, he judged that these police uniforms were not obtained from the equipment section of the police station, and now hearing Chen Zhida say this, he has confirmed his judgment.

At this time, he looked at Cai Maoshi, the workshop supervisor of the military quilt factory, on the side.

The military clothing factory is run by the puppet provincial government, specializing in the production of various uniforms customized by government departments, such as the military uniforms of the security army and the police uniforms of the police station, which are also made by this clothing factory.

"You also come to take a look, are these police uniforms made by your clothing factory?"

Cai Maoshi was taken to the special high class, he was worried, he had been worried and at a loss, and when he heard Yamada Daitomo's order, he hurriedly stepped forward, saluted respectfully, and then picked up the police uniform on the table, checked it carefully, and suddenly felt a certain sigh of relief.

Like Chen Zhida, he was afraid that these police uniforms would be lost from their clothing factory, and once they were involved in the assassination case, it would be a big trouble, and these Japanese would never give up.

He hurriedly explained: "Sir, this is not a police uniform made by our clothing factory. ”

"Oh, are you sure?" Yamada Otomo's face sank, and he asked seriously.

"Sure!" Cai Maoshi nodded busily, "First of all, the fabric is wrong, you don't know, our quilt factory specializes in making government-designated clothing bedding, because of the large demand, coupled with financial reasons, so the selection of fabrics is not too particular."

The fabric material of the police uniforms we made is very ordinary, but the materials of these police uniforms are obviously better, the touch is softer, and the color is slightly darker than ours, but the difference is subtle, if you don't look carefully, it is difficult to distinguish.

The second is the production process, the workload of our factory is large, the time is tight and the task is heavy, in order to catch up with the schedule, so the requirements in the production are lower, and the workmanship is relatively rough.

However, these police uniforms, the workmanship is relatively fine, the line of the needle is neat, the spacing is compact, smooth and smooth, the overall size ratio is moderate, and the technique is delicate and accurate.

And these police uniforms are all ordinary police uniforms, so I'm sure that this is by no means made by our clothing factory. ”

Hearing this, Yamada Otomo stepped forward to check again, and after some confirmation, the situation was as Cai Maoshi said, nodded slightly and said: "The production level of these police uniforms is indeed very good, as far as you know, in Taiyuan City, there are many people with this kind of cutting skills?" ”

"A lot!" Cai Maoshi replied, "Ordinary tailor shops can do it, they do the business of return, and they dare not be ambiguous in handiwork, so the production is much more sophisticated than ours." ”

This made Yamada Otomo frown, at this time, there were no large-scale garment factories in the people, and the common people made their own clothes, or bought them from tailor shops and garment shops, and there were too many craftsmen who could make clothes, such as Taiyuan City, a metropolis with a population of hundreds of thousands, not to mention home production, even tailor shops There are a lot, and trying to trace down the people who made these police uniforms is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

But Yamada Otomo did not give up, but asked again: "What else is special about these police uniforms in terms of production technology?" ”

Speaking of this, his tone was a little heavier: "Let me warn you first, if you dare to hide anything, you will know the consequences!" ”

Between the words, there was a threat, which scared Cai Maoshi, the Japanese are cruel and tyrannical, and treat human life like a mustard, I am afraid that if one does not deal with it well, it will be difficult to get out of this door today.

Thinking of this, he didn't dare to slack off, picked up the police uniform and carefully checked it again, and said again for a long time: "There is another feature here, that is, in the connection of fabrics, we generally use flat needle sewing, such a production method is simple and practical, you can sew directly with the machine, but the appearance is a little worse."

But these police uniforms are different, in several places of the stitching are used Tibetan needle or dark needle sewing method, such a treatment, too natural, tough, from the appearance is also more beautiful, however, this needs to be handmade, can not be used mechanical sewing. ”

When Yamada Otomo heard this, his eyes lit up and he asked, "Are there many people with such skills?" ”

"It's not much, even if it's a hidden needle and a dark needle, there are many kinds of techniques, but the techniques used like these in front of me are generally passed from Jinnan, and there are not many people who use them locally in Taiyuan."

Yamada Otomo waved his hand and immediately ordered: "Very good, you stay and introduce me carefully." ”
