While Tang Cheng and Wang Liang were sitting in the café whispering and talking, Hongkou District was completely blocked, and a large number of gendarmerie troops appeared in various corners of Hongkou District. The tavern that was turned into a killing field by Tang City was even surrounded by military police units, and all the people who entered and exited here were powerful figures from the Shanghai Military Police Headquarters and the Special High School.

"Oshima-kun, I've seen the scene, what do you think?" Standing in front of the izakaya in military uniform, Takahashi Nakasa, who was asked about Ueno Oshima, was a trace expert in the Shanghai Special High School, and Kazuo Takahashi, who was a squadron leader in the military police, was once a classmate in middle school. It was undoubtedly a big deal to bring out more than 50 corpses from an izakaya, especially since among these corpses were several people Kazuo Takahashi knew.

Ueno Oshima, who was asked by Kazuo Takahashi, paused slightly, and then habitually reached out to hold the glasses on the bridge of his nose before speaking. "Judging from the situation at the scene, all the dead on the second floor were shot at close range. According to the analysis of the warhead we found at the scene, the murderer should have used the Mauser ****, which the Chinese called a barge gun. And the murderer's marksmanship is very good, and few of the corpses on the second floor were shot twice in a row, and almost all of them were killed by one shot. ”

Kazuo Takahashi also nodded lightly when he heard this, and the killing of one shot undoubtedly shows that the murderer's marksmanship is very good, and it also proves that the murderer is very conceited, and he has been conceited to the point that he does not need to make up the gun. "As for the corpses downstairs, they were killed by intense strafing, and most of them had more than three bullet holes. My judgment is that the weapon used by the murderer on the 1st floor should be a German-style mp18***, which is a lot of German-style *** in China, and the warhead we found downstairs also proved to be a 9mm pistol bullet. ”

"So, according to Oshima-kun's inference, there should be no less than 2 murderers?" Kazuo Takahashi doesn't care about what weapon the murderer uses, he only cares about what clues are available at the moment, if he can find favorable clues before the high-level gets angry, he may face less trouble.

As a high school classmate and friend, Oshima Ueno naturally wouldn't hide it from Kazuo Takahashi, and immediately just shook his head. "No, the murderer is not 2 people, I can be sure of that. When I received a report from the patrol last night, I brought someone into the scene, and according to the number of warheads we found at the scene, the killer fired at least more than 130 rounds in the izakaya. Of the 130 rounds, 24 were Mauser pistol rounds, and the rest were all 9mm pistol rounds. ”

"After that, we re-enacted the scene according to the traces, and it turned out that if the murderers were two people and shot at the same time from upstairs and downstairs, they would never have been able to do this at the scene. In particular, we found an interesting situation on the second floor, where all the people who died on the second floor barely moved their place, that is, when they were shot by the murderer, they were completely caught off guard. ”

What Oshima Ueno just said was a puzzle that he couldn't understand, no matter how fast the murderer's movements were, it was impossible to carry out continuous house-to-house shooting on the second floor without alarming people, after all, the gunfire of the Mauser pistol was not small. Oshima Ueno's doubts were also infected by Kazuo Takahashi, and like Ueno Oshima, Kazuo Takahashi was also puzzled, and he secretly wondered how the murderer did it.

"Maybe the killer has a way to block out the gunshots... I've heard from those guys who came back from studying in Germany that the Germans are already developing **** specially equipped for agents and spies. Kazuo Takahashi suddenly remembered a rumor he had heard, if it wasn't Ueno Oshima, an old classmate and friend standing by his side at the moment, he would never have told this rumor, after all, the news had not been confirmed.

“****？” Oshima Ueno, who was at a loss, seemed to suddenly brighten up, "By the way, the murderer must have a way to block the gunshot, otherwise he would never be able to shoot everyone in the private room on the second floor in such a short time, unless the number of murderers is the same as the number of private rooms on the second floor, they are all working together!" Oshima Ueno gritted his teeth and said this, but Kazuo Takahashi knew that his old friend must have calculated the number of murderers, otherwise he would not have said that the murderer blocked the gunshot.

According to the conclusion reached by Oshima Ueno and their investigation of the scene, the murderer first shot the guests in the private room on the second floor, and then intensively strafed the individual guests in the hall on the first floor, so what Oshima Ueno said just now was not inappropriate. It was only a few breaths later, but Oshima Ueno's face changed again, because he suddenly realized that his guess just now didn't seem to be very correct. "No, if the murderers were able to block out the gunfire, then why didn't they block the gunfire when they carried out a dense strafing of individual visitors in the lobby on the first floor? The patrol that reported the situation made it clear that they had arrived only after hearing the gunshots. ”

Just when Ueno Oshima was in deep thought, a Japanese-born plainclothes man with a special high school suddenly came out of the izakaya, "Section chief, we have a new discovery here!" The whispers of the plainclothes team members woke up Ueno Oshima, and he and Kazuo Takahashi followed the plainclothes team members into the izakaya and went up the stairs to the second floor. "Section chief, come and see." The plainclothes team members who led the way led the way led the way, Ueno Oshima and Kazuo Takahashi, into the private room on the second floor facing the entrance of the izakaya.

"According to your previous order, section chief, several of us have repeatedly deduced the process of the murderer's actions here, and the final result is the same, the murderer must have acted on the second floor first, and then attacked the individual guests in the hall on the first floor. It's just that in the deduction we just made, Ogura-kun made a new discovery. The increasingly plainclothes man who led the way did not mean to take care of everything, but after introducing the situation, he handed over the next opportunity to make a statement to the companion named Isamu Ogura.

Ogura Isamu is also a plainclothes member under the Oshima Ueno tree, and when he saw that Oshima Ueno, who was the section chief, was looking at him intently, he couldn't help coughing lightly first, and then said his first. "Section Chief, there are a total of six private rooms on the second floor of this izakaya, and we only counted the number of corpses in the private rooms on the second floor before, but we didn't pay attention to the connection between these corpses." When Isamu Ogura said the word connection, both Ueno Oshima and Kazuo Takahashi were visibly stunned, and their hearts said that the connection between corpses, what the hell is this?

Isamu Ogura, who had been secretly paying attention to his boss's expression, immediately explained, "Section chief, I mean that people who come to izakaya are generally not alone. I distinctly remember that when we came here to investigate the scene, there were different numbers of corpses in these private rooms upstairs. It is never possible to come to such a place in the same private room with strangers, but the three bodies in this private room are an officer of the military police, an izakaya proprietor, and a grain merchant. ”

"Getting to the point!" It seemed that Ogura felt that Ogura had said too much off-topic, and Oshima Ueno's face immediately showed impatience, so he couldn't help but scold him.

"Section Chief, what I'm talking about next is the point. The presence of the izakaya proprietress in this private room can be explained by the fact that she sends familiar guests upstairs. I do know this officer of the military police, this man is Masaki Oga, and he is a lieutenant in the military police unit. This man has no special hobbies, his only drawback is that he has a bad temper, and he is very disdainful of some officers in the army secretly doing business in partnership with merchants. ”

"How could an officer who despises a merchant be in the same private room with a two-room merchant?" Seeing that Ueno Oshima began to show impatience, Ogura had to speed up his speech and hurriedly say the answer. "I have seen the bodies in several other private rooms, and it turns out that in the private room at the top of the stairs, I found a fellow military officer of Masaki Okawa, who also served in the military police, and in that private room, the other bodies belonged to the naval command."

When Ogura said that the body of a gendarmerie officer had appeared in the private room where the officers of the Navy Headquarters gathered, Kazuo Takahashi immediately reacted, and he already understood what Ogura wanted to say. Relations between the gendarmerie and the naval command have always been stiff, especially since last month, when the gendarmerie detained two officers of the naval command who were drunk on the street, and there have been several fights between the gendarmerie and the naval command.

Oshima Ueno also reacted later, and then looked at Ogura and said, "You mean that the corpses in these private rooms have been moved?" And before we got here? Oshima Ueno immediately ordered the information of all the corpses at the scene to be checked, although the documents of all the corpses at the scene were missing, but with the vigorous cooperation of the military police and the naval command, in just one hour, the identities of the more than 50 corpses in the izakaya were all verified.

According to the relationship between the corpses, Oshima Ueno rearranged the corpses in the private room on the second floor, and found that the private room facing the izakaya was vacant. "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, how can this be?" After all the dishes and chopsticks in the private room on the second floor were redistributed according to the number of people, there was only one pair of dishes and chopsticks in this private room, which made Oshima Ueno's face change greatly.

Ogura's discovery was indeed sharp, and after everyone recovered the scene, all signs indicated that the murderer who had appeared in the izakaya a long time ago seemed to be just one person. One person can kill the entire izakaya, this result also makes Kazuo Takahashi unbelievable, even the most combat-ready veteran in the Japanese army, I'm afraid he can't do this kind of thing alone!
