No. 23 of the school lieutenant camp, in the living room on the second floor of the banker's compound.

"Smack!"

A heavy slap slapped Yamada Otomo's face, and his cheeks were immediately red and swollen, showing clear palm prints, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.

"You idiot! As Yoshioka-kun's assistant, protecting the safety of the chief is one of your most important duties, but now, tell me, what happened? ”

Akira Quartz Tree Osa, the head of the special high school section, was pointing to the corpse of Masao Yoshioka on the sofa and roaring sharply.

When he received the news that Yoshioka Masao was assassinated and died in this safe house, he couldn't believe his ears, and he kept rushing over, and saw his deputy's face covered with blood, and the miserable death, the sad and indignant mood can be imagined, and he directly took Yamada Otomo who was standing aside to make a punching bag.

Yamada Otomo was dizzy by this slap, his body was slanted, and he almost fell, but he didn't dare to complain.

There is a strict hierarchy in the Japanese army, and it is common for superiors to physically punish subordinates, and as Aka Quartz said, as Yoshioka Masao's assistant, he does have to bear some responsibility for Yoshioka Masao's death.

Now seeing that the Ming Quartz Tree is angry, I am afraid that if I fail to deal with it, I will have to bear the thunderous anger of this top boss, and I am even more nervous and frightened.

Seeing that Yamada Otomo was trembling with fear and speechless, Akashi took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and continued to ask, "Tell me what happened!" ”

"Hey!" Yamada Otomo watched the section leader recover his state, and then quickly nodded in agreement, "This morning, Yoshioka team leader said that there was something important to do, and he pretended to go out at about eight o'clock, I once asked the team leader if he needed to mobilize security personnel, but the team leader said that his itinerary today should not be exposed, so he only brought Yokoyama with him, as well as his driver Imai."

At noon, I waited for the team leader to come back for a long time, so I called the safe house to inquire, but the phone was not answered, and I immediately knew that something was wrong, and when I brought someone over, the scene was a mess, and I found that everyone in the safe house had died, and the team leader Yoshioka was among them. ”

"Shouldn't be exposed? So how do you know to call here? Akira asked.

"That's him!" Yamada Otomo pointed to the corpse on the other side of the sofa, "This person's name is Han Zhirong, a senior agent of the Taiyuan Intelligence Station of the former military commander, and we secretly arrested him three months ago........."

Yamada Otomo quickly gave a detailed report on Han Zhirong's situation to Akami Quartz, and finally said: "This morning, the team leader received a call from Han Zhirong asking to meet, and left shortly after. ”

For a long time, the counter-espionage work of the Shanxi Special High School has been specifically responsible for the intelligence team leader Yoshioka Masao, and Akashi Shishu trusts this deputy very much and never interferes in his work, so only Yoshioka Masao and his assistant Yamada Otomo know about Han Zhirong, but Aka Shishiki does not know.

After listening to Yamada Otomo's narration, Akira Shizuki snorted coldly and asked, "I have met Han Zhirong a few times before, are they all here?" ”

"We all met here, and I met a total of six times this time, about once every half a month, but the last two meetings were only two days apart, so the team leader thought that Han Zhirong hurriedly asked for a meeting this time, and there must be an important situation report, and when the team leader Yoshioka put down the phone, he was very happy, he said that it must be the military command trying to contact Han Zhirong, and things can soon make new progress, and the result is ......"

"Trap, it's a trap!" Ming Shishi Shu gritted his teeth and scolded, "The murderer followed Han Zhirong all the way to the idiot, the military commander was planning to take revenge on Yoshioka-kun, and he also launched an assassination operation before, and he almost succeeded, but you are self-righteous, thinking that you killed many military commanders and exterminated the action team, and the other party has no power to fight back, so you relaxed your guard, but look at it, the consequences are so serious, Yoshioka-kun, he has a bright future, and he has just been promoted to the ...... of Dazuo."

Aka Quartz and Yoshioka Masao have been together for many years, and in addition to the working relationship, the two have a very good personal relationship, otherwise, Aka Quartz Tree would not trust him so much, and he would not have tried his best to help Yoshioka Masao be promoted to the army and pave the way for his future.

But all this was in vain, and the death of Masao Yoshioka was not only a loss for Aka Quartz Shu, but also a very heavy loss for the special high class.

Because Yoshioka Masao, as the head of the intelligence team who is in charge of intelligence work, has many high-level secrets in his hands that are not known to others, including the shadows and intelligence channels that he has personally arranged over the years, these invisible resources are like a kite with a broken string with Yoshioka's death, and they can never be recovered.

Such losses are extremely heavy for any intelligence organization.

The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, he came to Yoshioka Masao's corpse, looked at the round eyes that were full of blood at the corners of his eyes because of blood congestion, and couldn't help but sigh lightly, reached out and stroked it, and slowly closed Yoshioka Masao's eyes.

Then, he leaned down and carefully observed Yoshioka Masao's neck, where there was a clear strangulation mark, and there were several scratches around him, which should be the scratches caused by Yoshioka Masao's desperate struggle after his neck was strangled.

Yamada Otomo stepped forward and cautiously reported: "Team leader Yoshioka has no other injuries on his body, he was strangled by the murderer from behind, and then suffocated to death.

And Han Zhirong was pierced through his throat head-on by a very sharp dagger, and the force was so great that it directly penetrated the artery in his neck, and he lost his ability to resist on the spot.

Judging from the traces, Team Leader Yoshioka and Han Zhirong did not leave their seats from beginning to end, and there was no sign of their positions moving, that is, they were suddenly attacked, and they were killed by the murderer before they could react. ”

Aka Quartz nodded slightly, his judgment was in line with Yamada Otomo, so he looked at the curtain behind Masao Yoshioka.

got up and came to the curtain, stretched out his hand to open it, stood in himself, covered the curtain from his figure, and then walked out, looked at Han Zhirong's position again, and said in a deep voice: "This is where the murderer is hiding, judging from the scene at the time, Yoshioka-kun was talking to Han Zhirong, the murderer hiding behind the curtain suddenly attacked, first threw out a dagger and stabbed Han Zhirong, and then strangled Yoshioka-kun's neck with a rope, his strength was very great, Yoshioka-kun's struggle was useless, until he suffocated to death, The position of his head has not changed either. ”

As an experienced intelligence master, Aka Shishiki only observed for a moment, and accurately restored the situation at the scene at that time.

He then asked: "According to common sense, Yokoyama should be outside the door at any time, Yoshioka-kun suffocated to death, during this period, with Yokoyama's astuteness, he should be able to react, how could he die downstairs?" ”

It turns out that Yokoyama is a well-known action expert among the agents of the special high class, not only tall and powerful, but also agile, or a master of karate, before it was the bodyguard of Aka Quartz Tree, just a few days ago, the guards around Yoshioka Masao, except for Yamada Otomo, were all killed in the attack launched by the military command team, Aka Quartz Tree was worried about Yoshioka Masao's safety, and deliberately transferred Yokoyama to Yoshioka Masao as a personal guard, but I didn't expect that it was only a few days of hard work, and he died in Huangquan and died here, his death, It also made the Aka quartz tree heartbroken.

Yamada Otomo hurriedly explained: "In the storage room downstairs, we found the bodies of the two agents who have been guarding this place, Asano and Akiyama, both of whom were killed by a knife in the heart.

And during this period, it should be the time when the Yoshioka team leader was killed, and after Yokoyama went down the stairs, he had a fierce fight with the murderer, but in the end he also died tragically under the murderer's knife.

Therefore, the murderer was at least two people, one attacked downstairs first, killed Akiyama and Asano, led Yokoyama downstairs, and left Yoshioka Team Leader, and then the other murderer lurking here began to attack and killed Han Zhirong and Yoshioka Team Leader. ”

In the scene in the hall on the first floor, it was obvious that there had been a fierce fight, but Yamada Daitomo didn't know that in the end, it was Xu Chengyan who made a move and worked with Ji Yun to solve Yokoyama.

But it doesn't matter, the important thing is that Yamada Otomo has judged that at least two murderers have infiltrated here, and this clue is consistent with what he got a few days ago.

He continued: "There is also the driver Imai, who should have heard an unusual movement after the murderer's murder, entered through the back door, and prepared to protect Team Leader Yoshioka, because he was the only person at the scene who pulled out his gun, and the previous five people were all suddenly attacked, and they were quickly killed before they could draw their guns to shoot or warn."

But it's a pity that Imai still didn't have time to shoot, he was shot down by the murderer with a gun, and then strangled to death. ”

Hearing this, Ming Quartz's face was solemn, and he analyzed: "This shows that these two murderers are very strong, they didn't use guns, they just used weapons such as daggers and ropes, and killed everyone, including Yokoyama, Yamada, didn't you report before that the action team of the Taiyuan Station of the Military Command has been completely annihilated?" So what are the roles of these two people? ”

Yamada Otomo hurriedly reported: "Section Chief, the agents of the Military Command Action Team we captured earlier have indeed confessed that the rest of the action team was exterminated except for the captain Shan Ying, and Shan Ying himself was not lightly injured, and this matter was definitely not their doing.

If my judgment is correct, today's murder must have been committed by two military agents codenamed Viper and Pit Viper. ”

"Vipers? Pit vipers? Akira Quartz frowned and stared at Yamada Otomo, "It seems that you have already investigated some situations?" ”

"Vipers and pit vipers are agents of the Intelligence Department of the Taiyuan Intelligence Station of the Military Command.

According to the prisoner's confession, the murder of Dai Wenshan, the former head of the Criminal Investigation Section of the Police General Headquarters, the murder of Cai Wu, the head of the plainclothes security team, and the murder of Kazuzu Harada, a senior adviser to the Xinmin Association, were all committed by these two people.

Once they attack, they are like poisonous snakes hiding in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to attack the target, showing their fangs, hitting with one blow, and after the action, they quickly evacuate without hesitation, and do everything neatly and neatly, never dragging mud and water.

However, they also left traces of their crimes, that is, one of them was good at using a flying rope called 'Flying Tiger Claw', which appeared in the murder of Dai Wenshan and the scene of the murder of Harada's consultant. ”

Akira nodded slightly when he heard this, it seemed that Yamada Otomo knew so much about the situation of these two murderers, so he asked, "Then on today's scene, are there any traces of them?" ”

"Yes, first of all, it's the strangulation mark on the neck of Team Leader Yoshioka." Yamada Otomo came to Yoshioka Masao's body and pointed to his neck, "Generally speaking, people who have been trained as agents, if they want to strangle their opponents, they will choose thin and tough ropes or steel wires, which are more effective, but this strangulation mark is thicker, which is a bit special."

And we found the same strangulation marks on the neck of the body of Dai Wenshan, the head of the Criminal Investigation Section of the police station, and on the neck of the driver Imai downstairs.

In addition, there are three extremely sharp and retractable steel claws on the tip of the flying tiger claw, which will leave three clear vertical marks after use, and this trace was also found at the scene of the murder of Dai Wenshan and Harada's consultants.

And at today's scene, we found three deep wounds on the right wrist of the driver Imai, and there was a gun he dropped near the body, and the murderer used a flying rope to shoot down the gun in his hand before he had time to get close, and then strangled him with the same rope.

So there are all kinds of indications that these cases were all committed by vipers and pit vipers! ”

Yamada Otomo is also a shrewd and capable character in the end, and soon found out the clues left by Xu Chengyan from the clues.

Akira nodded heavily, and said fiercely: "According to what you said, these two people are undoubtedly the real murderers of Harada Advisor and Yoshioka-kun, do you know anything more about them?" ”

Yamada Otomo was stunned for a moment when he heard this, so he had to stubbornly answer: "According to the confession, these two people are the students of Chu Guangji, the head of the Taiyuan Intelligence Station, and as far as I know, Chu Guangji has been in charge of training in the military command before, and his reputation is not obvious, and he has no qualifications, so I judge that his students should not be very old, at most no more than thirty years old."

In addition, from their actions, it can be seen that Viper and Pit Viper are two veterans with actual combat experience, and they are not too young, so I think they should be between twenty-five and thirty years old.

Also, when they infiltrated Harada's advisor's residence, they left two pairs of shoe prints, both of which were larger than ordinary people's shoe sizes, so Yoshioka team leader once judged that these two were also taller than ordinary people.

They are agile, have a strong climbing ability, and can dive with ease, so in terms of body shape, they should belong to the type of slender limbs or even thin......"
