335. in the first place
Kentaro Takeuchi and Saburo Ono were discussing how to solve the food problem on the mountain when suddenly a soldier stumbled in.
"Report, report captain, it's not good, it's not good, there's something big in the base camp." The little soldier ran out of breath.
When Takeuchi heard this, he hurriedly jumped up from his seat: "What's the matter, what's wrong?" ”
"A lot of people have been poisoned, they've all fallen to the ground, and a lot of people are foaming at the mouth and rolling their eyes." The little man reported to Takeuchi with a look of horror.
"Huh? How so? Ono was also shocked: "Let's go, take us to see." ”
Ono and Takeuchi and the little man hurriedly walked to the door of the hotel, and the three of them got into a jeep and galloped away in the direction of the Eight Immortals Cave.
Before he reached the cave, he found that many soldiers outside the cave had fallen to the ground in pain, Takeuchi hurriedly got out of the car and ran into the cave, and found that there were many soldiers lying on the ground in the cave, some were moaning, some were howling, and more were lying on the ground and had already choked.
"Call Dr. Fujiwara right away." Takeuchi yelled at the little man.
"Hello." The little man hurriedly rushed out.
Takeuchi walked halfway up the mountain, and then all the soldiers who were standing guard in the middle of the mountain gathered and returned to the Eight Immortals Cave.
Takeuchi instructed the soldiers standing guard to carry out the soldiers who had been poisoned and died, and put the corpses outside the cave, he carefully counted them, a total of fifty-seven corpses, and then found eight corpses in the toilet outside the cave, a total of sixty-five corpses, and among the less than a hundred people left in the cave of the Eight Immortals, many of them were vomiting and howling, and I don't know how many of these soldiers would become the corpses outside the cave.
Except for about 40 soldiers in the two teams patrolling every day, 20 people on duty at the Houshan and Pass checkpoints, and 40 people standing guard in the middle of the mountain, the rest of the soldiers who were not on duty about 1450 people were all concentrated in the Baxian Cave, and this large-scale collective poisoning incident made almost everyone in the cave unspared, but the severity of the poisoning.
Takeuchi looked at the corpse, his face was pale, and now he was not shocked, but angry: "What did they eat?" What did you eat? ”
"Report to the captain, it's wild boar, they all ate wild boar." A soldier reported to Takeuchi with a sad face.
When Takeuchi heard this, he hurriedly walked to the cauldron, which still had half a pot of soup and some small pieces of meat in it.
At this time, Dr. Fujiwara arrived, and when he saw the rows of corpses outside the cave, he was very shocked, what kind of food could kill so many people?
Dr. Fujiwara came to the cauldron, then took a test tube from the medicine box, took some of the soup from the pot and put it in the test tube, closed the lid of the test tube, and then went to the soldiers' vomit to take some samples.
"Takeuchi Shaosa, I can't tell you the results until I have a test."
"Please tell me the results as soon as possible."
"Hello." Fujiwara left the Eight Immortals Cave with the medicine box on his back.
"Takeuchi-kun, this incident must have been done by those anti-Japanese elements, I judge that this wild boar should not be brought up the mountain by those anti-Japanese elements from the mountain, it should be taken from the spot, and it should be hunted on the mountain behind Yunwu Mountain. Because they didn't know in advance that we would come to Yunwu Mountain, it was impossible to prepare in advance to bring poisonous wild boar meat up the mountain, and after the mountain was closed, it was even less possible for them to bring poisonous food up the mountain from the bottom of the mountain, according to the report of the pass sentry, as of yesterday, a total of six tourists had gone up the mountain, and they carefully checked the luggage of these tourists and found no large pieces of meat food.
Wild boars generally live in the forests of the mountains, and the wild boars have a ferocious temperament, and the average hunting enthusiast should not have this ability to hunt wild boars, so this wild boar must have been caught by experienced hunters in the mountains when hunting. So, we should make the hunters in the mountains our target. “
Ono is analyzing and placing out who is most likely to be an anti-Japanese element.
"Ono-kun, I agree with you, we first have to arrest all the hunters on Cloud Mountain. We can't let our good samurai die in vain. Takeuchi immediately ordered a team of soldiers to arrest all the hunters on the Cloud Mountain.
Therefore, a group of Japanese soldiers ran towards the mud houses, grass sheds, adobe houses and other simple buildings in the mountains on the Yunwu Mountain, the hunters are generally poor families, so they will not live in those villa areas halfway up the mountain, they are all in the mountains to build a simple house to shelter from the wind and rain, therefore, those mud houses, adobe houses, grass huts are the target of these Japanese soldiers.
Soon more than a dozen hunters were captured by these Japanese soldiers, and they were taken outside the Eight Immortals Cave.
The hunters saw that there were so many corpses of Japanese soldiers piled up outside the cave, and they were all blinded at once, but they were indescribably happy in their hearts, and they didn't know where it was sacred, and they let these evil devils go to hell, which was really happy.
"See? Who was the killer of us, the samurai of the Great Japanese Empire? Ono paced back and forth in front of these hunters, two grim gazes sweeping over the faces of these people.
Ono wanted to make an example of each other, and give these hunters a disadvantage, so as to deter those anti-Japanese elements who were hiding during the period.
So he pulled out a young man who was less than twenty years old and looked very simple from among the sixteen: "Isn't it you?" “
The young man shook his head again and again: "It's not me, it's not me, I'm not killing anyone." “
Ono pulled out a pistol and shot the young man, who was shot in the head and fell to the ground.
"Kuroko." A middle-aged man next to him howled, squatted beside the young man, screamed heartbreakingly, and then stood up, his eyes spraying with anger: "I fought with you." “
The middle-aged man pounced on Ono, but before he could get close, the gun on Ono's hand rang out, and the middle-aged man covered his chest with his hand, slowly fell to the ground, and muttered to himself: "Beast, I won't let you go if I'm a ghost." “
When the other hunters saw that the devil had shot a father and son in an instant, their eyes were burning with rage, and their fists were clenched.
"Tie them all to a tree."
As soon as Takeuchi gave the order, the Japanese soldiers immediately stepped forward and tied the remaining fourteen people to the trees outside the Eight Immortals Cave.
At this time, Dr. Fujiwara hurried over.
"Report, Takeuchi-kun, I just tested the soup and the vomit in the pot, and found that the soup does contain a highly toxic substance, which comes from an herb."
"Dr. Fujiwara, are you saying that this poison comes from plants, not other poisons such as arsenic?"
Doctor Fujiwara nodded: "This poison is not arsenic, it must come from a plant, but I don't know exactly what kind of plant it is." ”
When Ono heard this, his mind suddenly flashed to the squatter room in Hong'en Temple, that is, in Gao Zirui's laboratory, a plant he picked up on the ground, and the guide said that it was called Broken Intestine Grass, which was very toxic, and the drier it was, the more toxic it became, so could it be this Broken Intestine Grass?
"Please bring the guide." Ono gave an order to Yamaguchi beside him, and Yamaguchi nodded and hurriedly ran towards the Shengjing Hotel.
It wasn't long before the guide was brought to Ono.
"Tell me, what will happen to a person if he eats the Broken Intestine Grass by mistake?"
"That's a great thing, after the average person eats the broken intestine grass by mistake, they will have unbearable abdominal pain within an hour, fall to the ground and die, their intestines will turn black and stick together, and they will die of pain."
"Then come and see, did these people die by eating the broken intestine grass by mistake?"
Ono took the guide to the Eight Immortals Cave, and the corpses piled up in front of the Eight Immortals Cave made the guide feel a kind of shock: "Huh? Dead so many? ”
"It's ...... to look at their deaths It's painful, that's ...... It could be ...... It was accidentally ingested the broken intestine grass. The guide was frightened by this meeting and replied to Ono in a trembling voice.
