The sun had not yet risen, but the air was already filled with the cool air of dawn, and the grass was covered with gray dew. Far away in the sky, a huge last morning star is staring, like a lonely eye.

A frightened scream came from the Meikawa trading house, and the scream alarmed the patrols on the street. Before they could enter the trading house, one of the guys ran out of the house, so frightened that he didn't say anything.

Subsequently, the patrol room received a report and sent someone to the scene quickly.

Although many patrolmen had seen the crime scene of murder and robbery, they were still shocked by the bloody scenes in the Meikawa trading house.

Who did this? The methods of killing are so skillful and professional that the victim may not even have time to scream when attacked.

The corpses in several rooms are shocking, and the gunshot wounds are all critical, which shows that the murderer has good marksmanship; In the toilet in the backyard lay the body of Mingchuan's daughter, who suffocated to death.

Robbery? Vendetta? Whatever the motive, it is certain that the case was the work of a ruthless veteran, and there was more than one person.

The patrolmen quickly came to the conclusion that the room had been ransacked, things had been turned into a mess, and the safe in the corner had been opened, and it was empty.

And it is almost impossible for one person to complete such a big case.

After examining the bodies, the patrol determined that the crime was committed between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m., as most of the bodies had already appeared to be spotted.

According to the theory of forensic medicine: after death, blood circulation stops, and the blood in the blood vessels moves to the lower part of the corpse due to gravity, accumulates in the capillaries and venules and expands, showing purple spots through the skin, called corpse spots, which generally begin to appear one or two hours after death.

This is a shocking case, because Akikawa is a Japanese businessman.

So, now it's not just a criminal case, diplomatic disputes are inevitable.

The Japanese are advancing step by step in Shanghai, and if there is no trouble, war will break out in advance.

The senior inspector of the patrol room came to the scene with several veteran criminal investigation experts, and under the roar of the Japanese consulate personnel, they were sweating and anxious.

And that's not all, the abnormal situation of the Nikkyo Pill Pharmacy has also attracted the attention of others. Soon, another bloody case was exposed.

After surveying the scene again, the patrol house came to a conclusion. This is the work of a group of murderers, the same modus operandi, the same ruthlessness, the same looting, and the same clues.

What does it mean to have no clues? I just couldn't find anything left at the scene of the murder.

For example, if the murder weapon is a gun, there should be a bullet casing on the ground, and there should be a bullet in the corpse!

It is obvious that there are no shells, not one; And the bullet holes on the corpse were obviously passed, could it be that even the warhead was removed?

Whether there is a warhead or not, we can only wait for the autopsy report from the morgue to come out.

In the face of such a sophisticated murderer, several senior patrol officers looked solemn, sighed secretly, and did not have much hope for the identification and analysis of fingerprints.

It was almost noon, and another report caused the patrol room to collapse completely.

It was still a Japanese shop, and six more people were killed. Hearing the news, even the staff of the Japanese consulate were shocked.

Overnight, three shops were ransacked in succession, killing fifteen people, thirteen of whom were Japanese.

At this time, it is not clear to anyone who is a killer revenge against the Japanese, who is a fool of the king.

To dare to demonstrate to the Japanese, can that be what ordinary robbers and bandits can do? Combined with the situation at the scene, the murderer is well-trained, and it must be the strength of a certain organization.

"Since it's a demonstration, you might soon be held accountable, right?" Inspector René felt that his head was as big as a fight, and he was a little lucky, and said to Inspector Qiao Bei.

Inspector Qiao Bei naturally knew Rene's thoughts, relying on the patrol house in the French Concession, it was extremely difficult to catch the murderer, and it could even be said that it was impossible.

But if any organization claims to be responsible, the law arrest room can follow the map and have a goal. If you can't catch it, you can also give an explanation to the Japanese.

But if no one claims to be responsible, the Japanese will definitely continue to exert pressure, how can the law arrest house have a good life?

"I hope so!" Qiao Bei sighed and said helplessly: "I am afraid that this is revenge on the concession authorities for compromising with the Japanese and allowing them to enter the concession to arrest the anti-Japanese elements." ”

René smiled bitterly and said, "If that's the case, then no one will declare you responsible!" ”

Since it was to take revenge on the authorities of the French Concession, it was natural to throw this mess out and let the French capture house bear the anger and pressure of the Japanese alone.

Qiao Bei snorted and said, "France's face has been lost, what else can't be done." ”

René knew that Jobe was a pro-Gaulle faction, and he had a grudge against the Vichy government and a lot of hatred for the Japanese.

However, the situation was stronger than people, and the French Concession in Shanghai had not yet been fully accepted by the Japanese, and that was for the sake of the Vichy government's alliance with Germany.

"If no one is responsible, and we don't have any clues, we will simply push the case to any organization." René said tentatively: "It's okay to find a scapegoat." ”

"How can the Japanese be so perfunctory?" Qiao Bei pursed his lips, shook his head, and said in frustration: "Let's take a look first!" ”

The Japanese military police arrived, with their technical experts, to conduct a more detailed survey of the scene.

The team leader, Yamura, had a straight face, so gloomy that he seemed to be able to drip water, and he turned and watched the scene of the murder.

In fact, Yamura already knows that this is not a simple robbery and murder, and the murderer is not an ordinary bandit.

However, the brutal killing of Japanese civilians is probably rare to this day. Moreover, three families perished in one night, and the impact was extremely bad.

What is the purpose? Yamura pondered for a while, but he couldn't be sure for a while.

If it is an organized operation, especially an organization with an official background, it will generally not target civilians, and it is necessary to pretend to be.

Even if it is the Japanese, they have to make up a trumped-up reason for killing innocent Chinese people.

To say that this is an unorganized spontaneous action, such a clean and neat method, such a traceless treatment of the scene, to say that it has not undergone professional training, it is absolutely impossible.

A name came to Yamura's mind, and the organization seemed to be acting evilly and had no scruples. Moreover, there are indeed masters in it.

If this organization did it, it would be a bit difficult to deal with. To this day, that organization "Blood Banner Gate" has always been shrouded in fog, and there are no substantive clues.

"Captain." A Japanese Kenzo stepped forward to report, "The results of the preliminary investigation found only a few mutilated footprints, and they were so faint that they could not be carefully identified. Judging from the shooting, the murderer was good at shooting, and not a single shot was missed. ”

Yamura didn't speak, just motioned with his eyes to continue.

"I just got information from the morgue that the autopsies on both bodies were fatal by gunshot, but no bullets were found in the bodies." Kenzo continued: "In addition, judging from the two non-gun killers, the murderer should be proficient in martial arts, and the part of the neck is accurate, and there is no room for resistance and struggle at all. ”

Yamura blinked slowly, the results of this preliminary investigation can be said to be useless. It is impossible to even tell how many murderers there are, let alone what kind of physiognomy there is.

Japan Kenzo paused and guessed: "Captain, judging from the situation on the scene, there are still a few cases with the New Asia Hotel-"

Yamura waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to go any further.

Whether or not it was the work of that mysterious organization is still only speculation. Although it is very likely, speculation cannot be used as a conclusion.

Because, once the press knows about it, it will definitely publish it, and they dare not make it true or false.

But if the guess is wrong, wouldn't it be a shame again?

"Let's make a final conclusion when the investigation is completed!" Yamura sighed helplessly.

If the case had taken place in the Public Concession, it would not have been beneficial to the Japanese. It's just a dozen civilians, will the Japanese government care?

On the contrary, it is an opportunity to exert pressure on the public concession to force the public concession to further compromise with the Japanese side.

However, the French Concession existed in name only, and the Japanese military police and spies were already allowed to enter and leave freely, and if they went any further, they could only directly occupy and take over.

But the Vichy government in France was already an ally of Germany, and could be considered an ally of Japan, and made the greatest concessions possible. Annam, for example, has allowed Japan to send troops in.

Therefore, in order to take care of Germany's face, Japan directly sent troops to occupy the French Concession, which is impossible in the near future.

If it wants to gain a foothold in law, it can only be recovered by the Wang puppet government.

"I went to negotiate with the French Arrest House and arranged for the Japanese merchants in the French Concession to be protected by the military police." Yamura felt that he could only deal with it in this way for the time being, and the police strength and ability of the legal arrest room were really unreassuring, "At the same time, it is also necessary to let the patrol strengthen patrol vigilance to prevent the recurrence of similar cases." ”

Although the patrol of the legal arrest room is very incompetent, it cannot be idle, and it is always useful to strengthen the vigilance patrol.

……………

This day was Sunday, Shen Chen didn't have to go to work, he slept a lot as usual.

It's such a faint mood, for him, last night's killing is yesterday's thing, it's over, and he can't think about it for another minute.

The dog could not be so calm, and although he slept late, he got up from tossing and turning before dawn, and could not sleep again.

Finally, when Shen Chen woke up, the dog didn't know how many times it had turned. He didn't know exactly what he wanted to do, he just felt excited, wanted to talk to Shen Chen, and wanted to see Shen Chen.

Shen Chen understood that mood, but he looked indifferent, not in a hurry or panic.

After breakfast, Shen Chen sat down and asked the dog to take out all the results of last night's battle.

Gold and silver jewelry, ocean banknotes, and the looting proceeds of the three Japanese shops were not too much, but they were not too little, and they got up in a bunch on the bed.

Picking and choosing by category, Shen Chen divided it into several parts.

Loading some oceans and banknotes, Shen Chen gave them directly to the dog, and said with a smile: "This is for you, don't be too little!" ”

The dog was holding a money bag, he had never seen so much money, let alone holding it in his hand, it still belonged to him.

"Master, I, I-"

Shen Chen waved his hand and said, "Don't mess around, don't be ostentatious, I've already told you." If you think about that little Ping'er, don't give more, it won't be conspicuous if you divide it into a few times. ”

After a pause, Shen Chen continued: "Originally, I didn't want to give you so much money. But now, it's a little different. In case I'm gone, you have some money in hand, so you won't be too flustered. ”

The dog blinked and asked puzzledly, "Master, what did you say?" As long as I can follow Master, what do I need money for? ”

Shen Chen smiled and said, "As much as I talk about children, can I still be with you for the rest of my life?" Of course, you don't have to worry too much, I'll arrange it for you. ”

Raising his hand to stop the dog, Shen Chen continued: "You have grown up, although some kung fu has not yet been practiced, it is only a matter of time. You have a senior sister, and in the future, you will follow her and will take care of you. Of course, if you want to live a stable life, your senior sister will also give you a sum of money, and it is up to you to decide. ”

"Senior sister?!" The dog scratched his head and asked, "She's very powerful, she must be far worse than Master, right?" ”

Shen Chen smiled and said, "Now I am better than you, and I have learned more than you." As for the future, if you practice hard, it is possible to surpass her. Well, more than Master, you may be able to do it. ”

The dog hurriedly shook his head and said, "I have practiced all my life, and I can't surpass the master." ”

Shen Chen patted the dog on the shoulder and said with a smile: "So unambitious? I want you to surpass me, and don't lose my people. ”

The dog smiled, put the money bag aside, and said, "Master, where are you going, can't you take me with you?" ”

Shen Chen was noncommittal and said, "If you can bring it, of course it is the best." Well, you think about it today, whether you want to live a peaceful life, or continue this kind of murderous life. ”

"There are Japanese devils, how can there be a peaceful son?" The dog shook his head vigorously and said, "I want to kill devils and be a big hero." ”

"Think about it more and wait for your answer in the evening." Shen Chen said with a smile: "Then, I will consider whether to find your senior sister and meet with you." ”

"It's the same at night." The dog felt that there was no need for this at all, and a day was a waste, but he would not think about it all the time.

Shen Chen put away the money, took only one of them, got up and said, "I have to go out, and someone else needs to arrange it." What about you, do you stay at home, or do you want to go out? ”

The dog felt that something was wrong with Shen Chen, arranging this, arranging that, as if explaining the aftermath. Phew, he secretly took a sip and shook off this bad thought.

"Then, I'll go out for a walk too." The dog can only go to Xiaoping, I haven't seen him for a few days, and I don't know how the family is doing.

Shen Chen pointed to the money bag and instructed, "Don't bring too much, pick some small bills." By the way, don't be empty-handed, buy something, this is a courtesy. ”

The dog scratched his head and grinned, "Got it, Master." Be careful when you go out. ”

Shen Chen waved his hand, turned around and left with a smile.
