"So West Bryan is the biggest suspect? How can it be? Lin Jiangbei shook his head and said, "Even if West Bryan is a Japanese mole hidden in the headquarters of the Fourth Expeditionary Force, wouldn't he not be a self-confessed person when he poisoned the old drunkard like this?" What's more, according to our previous observation and analysis, it is extremely unlikely that West Bryan will be dragged into the water by an old drunkard and act as a Japanese mole! ”

"That's what Colonel Price judges, too!" Zhang Shixue said, "He thinks that whether West Bryan is a Japanese mole or not, it is impossible to take the initiative to poison the old drunkard." So there must have been someone else who poisoned the old drunkard, and West Bryan was just blamed. ”

"But the problem is that the Japanese detective named Hikonari Shimamoto, who led the team over, found potassium cyanide residue in a goblet on the coffee table next to the old drunkard's body, and also found the fingerprints of the old drunkard and West Bryan on this goblet." Zhang Shixue continued, "Therefore, Shimamoto Hikosei decided on the spot that West Bryan was the murderer who poisoned the old drunkard, and was going to take him back to the patrol room for further interrogation. ”

"There's a West Bryan fingerprint on the goblet?" Lin Jiangbei's eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle, "What did West Bryan say?" ”

"West Bryan said he didn't know what was going on, and said that when he entered the old drunkard's apartment, he found the door of the apartment ajar ajar, and when he pushed the door in, he found the old drunkard half-lying on the couch, motionless."

He thought that the old drunkard was asleep, so he stepped forward and pushed the old drunkard twice, and found that the old drunkard did not respond. When I looked closely, I found that the old drunkard's eyes were closed, his face was flushed, and there was a smell of bitter almonds at the corners of his mouth. ”

He immediately knew that it was not good, and hurriedly tested the old drunkard's breath with his hand, only to find that the old drunkard was not breathing at all. So he hurriedly ran out to call the police. ”

"As for the fingerprints on the goblet, West Brian didn't know what was going on, because he hadn't touched the goblet the whole time."

"Why did West Bryan run out and call the police?" Lin Jiangbei's eyebrows were still tightly twisted together, "Why don't you call the police with the phone in the old drunkard's apartment?" ”

"Because the old drunkard's phone was installed in the study, West Bryan was afraid that he would run around in the old drunkard's apartment and leave footprints to destroy the scene, so he chose to call the police on the public phone outside!" Zhang Shixue replied.

"That makes sense!" Lin Jiangbei nodded slowly, "It seems that although West Bryan is a talker, he is quite experienced, not only can he distinguish poison by the taste of bitter almonds, but he also knows how to protect the first scene of the crime." The only thing that can't be explained may be the fingerprints on the goblet, right? ”

But this also speaks volumes about West Bryan's innocence. If he was the murderer, he could have said that when he was questioned by the patrol room, he said that when he saw the old drunkard lying on the sofa without breathing, he picked up the wine glass and sniffed it to see if it was wine or poison left inside. Doesn't that explain the problem of fingerprints on goblins? ”

But Shimamoto didn't think so, he insisted that West Bryan was all quibble, so he wanted to bring West Bryan back to the patrol room for interrogation. Zhang Shixue said.

"Hehe," Lin Jiangbei laughed, "A small senior inspector of the patrol room of the Ministry of Industry Bureau wants to bring a beautiful ** person to the patrol room for interrogation, which is really overwhelming." Do you really think that beautiful ** people eat dry rice? ”

"Yes!" Zhang Shixue said, "Seeing that Shimamoto Hikosei was going to take him to the patrol room, West Bryan pulled out his gun and hit Shimamoto Hikonaru's head. Not long after the stalemate, Colonel Price arrived with a squad of Marines. At this time, Shimamoto naturally didn't dare to ask for anything to bring West Bryan back to the patrol room for interrogation, and could only watch Colonel Price borrow West Bryan from the scene. ”

"So where is West Bryan now?" Lin Jiangbei asked again.

"Being questioned at the headquarters of the Fourth Expeditionary Force." Zhang Shixue replied, "Although Colonel Price does not believe that West Bryan is the murderer who poisoned the old drunkard, the ins and outs of this matter must be clarified. What's more, the Japanese mole inside the headquarters of the Fourth Expeditionary Force is also involved here. ”

Lin Jiangbei frowned and groaned for a while, and then asked, "Secretary Zhang, after Colonel Price received your information, didn't he send people to monitor the old drunkard's apartment?" If a special person is sent to monitor it, it should be possible to find out what suspicious people were in the old drunkard's apartment before West Bryan entered the old drunkard's apartment! ”

"I've asked Colonel Price about that, too." "Colonel Price explained that the Fourth Expeditionary Force was a combat force and did not have full-time personnel to work as secret agents. Even some of the staff engaged in intelligence gathering are civilian internal service personnel who are incapable of carrying out surveillance operations. ”

"So he had no choice but to apply to the Asian Fleet Command and ask the Asian Fleet Command to help dispatch the right people to carry out the surveillance mission of the old drunkard's apartment."

"But I didn't expect that before the manpower dispatched by the Asian Fleet Command was in place, there was an accident in which the old drunkard was poisoned."

"I see!" Lin Jiangbei nodded and said, "Secretary Zhang, then what is the purpose of you running over to inform me of this news now?" ”

"The purpose is twofold." Zhang Shixue said, "The first is that Colonel Price, in the name of the commander of the Fourth Expeditionary Force Command, officially sent us a request for help, asking our intelligence department to mobilize forces to help them find out the truth about the poisoning of the old drunkard. ”

"Hehe, he's finally willing to let our intelligence department officially intervene in this matter?" Lin Jiangbei chuckled and said.

"yes!" Zhang Shixue nodded and said, "Colonel Price's real purpose is actually to let us clear the innocence of the Japanese mole for West Brian. Otherwise, if this matter has not been clear, West Bryan will not only be forced to retire, but also may be criminally responsible. ”

"Colonel Price should understand that there is no such thing as a free lunch." Lin Jiangbei said, "It's impossible that because they are Americans, they can not pay a little price and let us do things for them in vain." ”

Zhang Shixue lowered his voice and said: "Colonel Price promised us that if we can help them find out the truth about the old drunkard's poisoning, then he can provide us with a batch of the latest American-style equipment that can arm a company at cost price." ”

"Cost price?" Lin Jiangbei's eyes couldn't help but light up, "This deal can be done." ”

Zhang Shixue continued: "The second purpose of my coming here is to communicate with you to see if you want to attack Ogawa Xiangli. Kari Ogawa met you at the old drunkard's tailor's shop. The death of the old drunkard this time, whether it is called by the Japanese or the Japanese mole within the command of the US Expeditionary Force, means that the Japanese know that the old drunkard has been exposed. If Ogawa Kari learns the news, it is easy to think of you. So I think it's better to take advantage of the opportunity of Ogawa Xiangli to go to Hangzhou this time and kill her in Hangzhou! ”
