In the courtyard where the corpses were stacked.

A Japanese squad was standing in dense formation by the courtyard wall, looking at the corner of the courtyard and muttering silently.

"Is the body of the attacker at the gate really gone?"

"Yes, it is said that it disappeared all of a sudden, and there was not even a trace of blood"

"Could it be that you are not dead? I ran away."

"How is it possible, I was shot dozens of times, my head was pierced, how could I not die"

"Moreover, whoever runs away will wipe the blood dry"

"How did that corpse disappear?"

"Is it misplaced? I can remember where it was placed, and the captain went up and kicked it a few times."

"I remember putting it there, too"

“····”

At this time, in the corner where everyone was looking, the team leader was kneeling on the ground, grabbing the dirt in his hands from time to time, touching the stones here, smelling the grass there, and his little eyes were full of confusion.

Obviously, the corpse was left here.

I kicked it several times when I threw it, and the blood was still bleeding all over the ground.

The indentations on the grass and on the ground are still there, and the corpse is gone.

And even the bloodstains are gone?

Even if the corpse could be removed, could it be that the blood dripping on the stones and the ground could still be wiped dry and evaporated?

And the guards didn't see anyone coming.

Or rather

This is the ghost of Chinese legend?

Did you encounter a ghost yourself?

I've actually kicked a ghost!

Looking at the yellow, orange and orange ground under his feet, looking at the bright indentation of the corpse, and remembering his action of throwing the corpse, the more the team leader thought about it, the more wrong it became, only to feel a cold spread from his heart, and then his whole body suddenly trembled, he quickly got up and retreated, and in a panic, he fell to the ground with his butt.

Ignoring the flustered team leader, Higashino Kanda looked up at the high courtyard wall.

The adobe walls are covered with white lime walls, and because they have not been cleaned for a long time, the brick brims and caps of the courtyard walls have accumulated thick dust, and the cobwebs have become layer after layer.

But he found no trace of anyone on the courtyard wall.

Looking down, there was a pile of unknown weeds in the corner of the wall, and in the center of the weeds, there was an obvious humanoid indentation.

On the soil next to the haystack, you can still see a lot of traces caused by the decline of the new liquid, but it has not rained in Wanping City for more than half a month.

Underground, he still didn't find any suspicious traces.

Glancing back at the soldier who was muttering behind him, and then at the squad leader with a frightened face next to him, and the puddle of liquid under his crotch, the corners of Kanda Higashino's mouth couldn't help twitching slightly, and finally turned his head away silently.

···

"You're saying the gun suddenly appeared in the hands of the attacker?"

"In the blink of an eye, the gun is in his hand?"

"Yes... Yes, he was still holding his hand up at the time, but... All of a sudden, a gun appeared in my hand, and I don't know how it appeared."

Looking at the submissive private in front of him, the corners of Kanda Higashino's eyes jumped, he was trying very hard to suppress his anger at the moment, he swore that he really wanted to shoot this stupid private in front of him now.

And in the blink of an eye, the enemy pulled out the gun?

You think it's a ninja? Can you do ninjutsu?

You can't keep an eye on someone with your hands raised, what's the use of the empire asking you? Do you want to be a breakthrough for the enemy?

Forget it, the Imperial Loyal Shrine will definitely have your place in the future.

Taking a deep breath, he turned his gaze to the detachment leader beside the private.

At the time of the attack, it was the detachment led by the detachment leader in front of him who was responsible for guarding the city gates.

The captain of the city defense team obviously had a clear idea and quickly explained the matter.

"At that time, because the communication reconnaissance cavalry team had just left the city, there were basically no pedestrians at the city gate"

"So the team leader didn't order to clean the city gate at that time, but just ordered us to strengthen our vigilance."

"And the attacker came down the city wall from the north side of the city gate, because of the obstruction of the city wall, we didn't notice it until very close, and I saw that he was empty-handed, he didn't carry anything on his body, and he was walking very slowly, so I just asked Santaro to go and see him."

"At that time, he raised his hands very cooperatively, and I didn't continue to pay attention."

Yamataro is the name of the private who was in a state of limbo just now.

"Do you see the assailant's appearance?" Higashino Kanda guided the words of the squad leader.

"I didn't look closely at the time, but it should be Chinese, and he was very young"

The captain replied with a frown.

"He's dressed in cyan, well, the thinner kind, it seems to have short hair, just like the hairstyle of a normal student"

"His hands were still clasped together as he approached the city gate"

"Empty-handed, and from the outside, you don't have anything on your body?" Higashino Kanda made a focused inquiry.

"Yes" the squad leader nodded, his tone clear.

"Has anyone seen the assailant before?" After thinking for a moment, Kanda Higashino asked.

"I asked the defenders on the city wall afterwards that he had always seen the attacker coming from the north, and according to him, the attacker was walking very slowly" At this time, the tone of the detachment leader was a little hesitant, after all, he did not see it with his own eyes, he could not be sure.

"Go and call the defender"

"Hi"

"Wait, what's your name" Kanda Higashino asked the captain for his name before waving his hand to leave.

"My name is Izumi Ito," the detachment leader bowed and retreated.

····

At night, inside a brand new room.

On the side of the window, there is a table.

There is an electric lamp on the table, and through the bright light, six identical bullets can be seen side by side in the center of the table.

Higashino Kanda sat at the table, looking at the bullet in front of him, his elbows resting on the table, his fingers rubbing his temples incessantly.

He felt a feeling of a big head at this point.

This is the samurai who fought for the Empire?

This is the executor of the Imperial East Asia Co-Prosperity Plan?

A suicide attack by a single person killed nine Imperial samurai and injured seven, including one Imperial Nakasa.

When a squadron of personnel went out of the city, the attackers were able to swagger close to a few dozen meters before they were discovered, and even if they were discovered, they didn't even go up to search their bodies.

The soldier guarding the attacker was an even more fool, and raising his hands could make the enemy pull out his gun under his nose.

Wow, the most interesting thing is that in the end, the body of the attacker was lost.

Can this TM lose such a large corpse?

Even if this is only a second-line brigade of a B-level division, it has gone through a year of recruit training and has at least half a year's actual combat experience, so it won't be like this.

Feeling the thumping of his temples, he finally suppressed the anger in his heart after taking a few deep breaths.

He knew in his heart that he was in no hurry to change this status quo, the composition of the second-line troops was complicated, the quality of the soldiers was uneven, and the will to fight and attitude to work were very poor, so he could only take it step by step.

It's good that the commander is good.

Thinking of the middle-aged captain Kurokawa Nishida, after a period of contact, he was still very satisfied with this veteran captain, otherwise he would not use his connections to help him take power.

Shaking his head, he turned his attention to the bullet in front of him.
