Chapter 301: Tracing the Trace

"Banxi-kun, there is a discovery. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" a young intelligence officer shouted, the fire and the snow, covering up almost all traces, making the investigation of these people extremely difficult. The attackers apparently knew their targets inside out, and even the patrol routes of the bodyguards were clear.

First the power supply was cut off, then the perfect intrusion was achieved, a couple of dogs were dealt with, and then the guards were dealt with. Outside the break room, they planted mines, or used piano wires to keep their hands on them, laying one deadly trap after another.

The idea of these traps is very ingenious, and even the people of the Aoki Mechanism only thought that they could design traps in this way to kill the target after seeing these traps. The man who could arrange all this was obviously a genius who was proficient in assassination techniques, and a terrible madman.

All those who stayed behind had been killed, and even if they had not been taken by the other party, they had been killed indirectly. Including those female servants, this time the Aoki mechanism can be regarded as being uprooted. In the ruins, they found Aoki's remains, which could no longer be identified, and could only be judged from the badge he was wearing.

For this commander, who is both a mentor and a strict father, many intelligence officers worship him as if they were gods, and when they see his corpse, many people have already cursed bitterly and cried to the ground. If they knew who the murderer was at this time, they would definitely rush forward desperately and tear it to pieces.

So the discovery of clues is very important to everyone, more than a dozen people ran over, and the person who found the clue pointed to the charred corpse in front of him, "You see, in his hand, there is a copper button. It is likely that he was caught from the other party in a fight with the murderer. Look at the pattern on this button. ”

Although it had been burned by fire, it was barely recognizable by wiping the stains with a cloth, and there were traces of a double-headed eagle on it. This is the Tieler button, the only bit of evidence found in last night's attack.

Banxi is calmer, he doesn't think that relying on this button can explain anything. "Where's the fried eggs? Can you find something in those fried eggs? ”

"The assailant must have come in in an overcoat, and we found a tweed coat in the ruins, but it was too ordinary to find anyone. The pockets are empty and nothing can be found. Those fried eggs are homemade, and they should be restructured with hand-left bullets, but now in the Allied Army station, there are too many hand-left bullets. ”

The Tiele Army did not have a bullet left in his hands. Banxi thought of this, but some of his colleagues next to him also thought of it, "The Tiele people are not equipped with hand bullets. ”

"Omura-kun, you overlooked a point, they can buy hand-kept bullets, and now it's very easy to buy. And you tell me who will do it to us except the Tielers! Another colleague who saw the button had red eyes. He was an orphan who had been trained by Aoki since he was a child, and Aoki was like a father to him. Now anyone trying to defend the murderer feels unbearable for him.

Just as important as the evidence is motivation. At present, it is certain that there is a contradiction with the Fuso people, that is, the Tiele people. Including the fact that Li Nivich lost face in front of the Fuso people, and some Tiele people were arrested by the Fuso gendarmerie and locked up for 72 hours before going through the formalities for release, all of which made the Tiele people feel that they had lost face.

In the past, in the process of maintaining order in the capital, there was more friction between the two sides. Tieler's intelligence agency was also suspicious of the Aoki agency, and the intelligence officers of the two sides secretly exchanged hands several times. From this point of view, the Tiele people did have good reasons to attack the Fuso people.

"But...... But we've already had our eyes on the Iron Lega's contingent, and they don't have time to do that. The colleague, Masanobu Omura, continued to give his opinion. We can't identify the culprit first and then find the reason, that would be putting the cart before the horse. If you want to take revenge, you must first find the real murderer, so that you can comfort the teacher's spirit in the sky. The probability of the Tiele people committing murder is too low, and they don't have the time to commit crimes. ”

"No, Omura-kun, I think you have a problem. We've been eyeing those contingents, but we've only been targeting known contingents. In fact, how many task forces have entered the capital, none of us can be sure, what do you think? ”

Banxi expressed his opinion at this time, and he found that this Mr. Omura was a little too good. His thinking is almost as clear as his own, and if he continues to behave, perhaps the military will consider making him his boss and in charge of intelligence work against China. I'm sorry, real talents, it's enough to have your own.

What's more, he can now figure out what the military means, the criminals are Tiele people, which is the most in line with Fusang's strategic requirements. Only if he was a Tiele person, Fuso could promote public opinion in the country and urge everyone to agree to fight against Tiele. Blood is the truth. As long as he crucifies the Tiele people and turns the case into an iron case, the military department will definitely make a great contribution to himself.

As far as colleagues are concerned, after Omura finished his analysis, the eyes of everyone looking at him were becoming more and more full of disdain. Now is not the time to talk about reason, but the time to talk about emotion, about revenge. At this time, isn't it reasonable to wait to be seen as a coward by everyone?

Sure enough, after he said this, he immediately got the echo of several people. "Banxi-kun is right, who of us can guarantee that all the task forces have been stared at and killed? Omura, do you dare to swear that not a single fish has slipped through the net? And you see, who will attack our organs except the Tielers. How many people know that this is an intelligence agency? ”

Omura didn't mind the eyes of his colleagues, he was now immersed in the exploration of the case, and he didn't care about anything else. "Listen to me, it's impossible for the Tiele people to know so clearly about the situation of the agency. I don't think the Tiele people can deal with the dogs we have without making a noise, unless they are very familiar with them. These piano lines, as well as these hand plays, are not Tiele people. Also, we found four Mini rifles left at the scene of the crime. You also know when a small detachment of Tiler's poor devils will be equipped with four Minnie guns, and they will not abandon these precious weapons. ”

"I think you're cowardly, aren't you? Coward! You don't dare to take revenge on the Tielers! You coward. Hearing Tieler's name, your guts have been broken, so do everything possible to justify our enemies. ”

"Enough, now is not the time to argue." Banxi stopped the shouting of both sides, "Omura-kun's analysis also makes sense, but there are exceptions to everything. I think we need to gather more evidence. Also, Omura-kun, do you have any suspicions? ”

Omura nodded, "I suspect Miss Yoko's fiancé, Zhao Guanhou." According to our profile, he was an excellent marksman, and he also had a Mini rifle post, hand ammunition and mines, which he and Jenson developed together. What's more, Yoko also had a part in last night's assassination. ”

It is also difficult for everyone to understand the killing of Commander Fukushima by Yoko, and from any analysis of the situation, she is not guilty of doing this. However, someone immediately opened his mouth to refute it

"Idiot! You're going to doubt him because of that? There is more than one Mini rifle post in our country, and there are tens of thousands of good marksmen, so you should suspect that it was our people who killed Aoki-sensei? The man who can marry Yoko as a side room, will he do something to us? Why Yoko shot at Commander Fukushima is another question, but it would be ridiculous to say that the two of them were at the mercy of the agency. I think you should cut open your head to see if it's Tie Le's brain. ”

Banxi said: "What Omura-kun said also makes sense, we have to find out now where Zhao Guanhou is now, and where was he last night." For this clue, we can't give up. ”

Fusang's intelligence officers were very capable of working, so they fed back the news, and Zhao Guanhou was at the Franc Ji Legation at this time, asking the Franc Envoy Ge Luogan for an explanation.

His eyes were red and swollen with tears, and his expression was both sad and angry, like a lion, roaring in the legation.

"I'm not talking to you today as a Daikin negotiator, I'm talking to you as a fiancé. My fiancée, what the hell happened last night and why did she shoot at Commander Fukushima. And who ordered her to be killed. Since Your Excellency is now the rotating chairman of the legation, it is naturally obligated to give me an explanation. I want to know everything, I want to participate in the investigation, and if I find out who the culprit is, I will not hesitate to kill him and scatter him to ashes. I also want my wife's body, and I want her to be buried in the ancestral grave of the Zhao family according to our Chinese customs. ”

Ge Luogan is very old and not in good health, and for this kind of accident, he also feels like a big head. Even if Yoko shot Fukushima, in the end, it would be better to hand over the matter to Fuso, and the patrol team killed Yoko, causing him to be very passive. Seeing that Zhao Guanhou was angry, he had no choice but to speak perfunctory, as for the explanation and dealing with the aftermath, he could only wait for someone from Fusang.

The problem is that last night's attack, Fusang can now come out to preside over the affairs of the people, until Banxi arrived, can be regarded as taking the responsibility of Ge Luogan on himself.

Banxi was very polite to Zhao Guanhou, after all, without evidence, no one could be unreasonable to him. "When there was an attack last night, it would be nice if Guanhou was also on the scene, and with your skills in the fight with the thieves, you can at least figure out what happened." ”

"Yes, what Brother Banxi said is exactly what I thought, and it's not good to blame me! Last night, if I hadn't been with Shigege, I would have come here. But Yoko said that it is better for husband and wife not to be together before they get married, this is the custom, I should die, I really should die! ”

"There's no way around it, and you have to mourn by the way. On the eve of the couple's wedding, the husband stayed at his fiancée's house, which is indeed too strange. I don't think you should be too upset. I believe that the Fuso Empire must have the ability to find the murderer and seek justice for Aoki-sensei. ”

Zhao Guanhou's expression was extremely sad, and he took Banxi's hand and said: "Brother Banxi, let's also have a relationship, can you do me a favor and let me take Yoko's body away, I want to bury her in a grand manner, according to the specifications of the lady, and bury her in the ancestral grave of the Zhao family." After all, between the two of us...... I owe her so much, at least after I'm gone, I don't want her to have regrets. ”

Banxi smiled awkwardly, "That's it...... I'll try my best, but whether it's feasible or not will have to wait for orders from my superiors. After all, there is a post-mortem examination involved, as well as a follow-up investigation, which may involve the corpse. I will definitely contact you if I can. ”

After sending Zhao Guanhou away, Banxi's suspicion of him was reduced a lot, and judging from his performance, it didn't look like he was pretending. Moreover, he did not have a motive to kill Aoki, from what he knew, Aoki and the military wanted to achieve a strategic alliance between the two sides through marriage. After Fusang, he took Zhao Guanhou as an ally and raised him to become the most powerful part of the Jin State.

From this point of view, he should be Aoki's truly loyal subordinate, and it is impossible for him to commit murder. Omura's analysis is a dead end here, and it is impossible to get around it at all.

By the afternoon, another group of agents had discovered a new situation, and one of the men in charge of checking the pass remembered a strange-looking Nanyang merchant. He was holding a Tiele Pass, but he didn't look like a Tiele person, no matter how you look at it, it feels like an impostor. Since he didn't want to get into trouble, he didn't chase after him at the time, and judging from the current situation, this person is likely to be the one who attacked Aoki with fried eggs.

Tiele Pass, this is another new clue. It's just that these clues are not hard enough to convict at all. And from Zhao Guanhou, nothing can be found. The next day, Omura's investigation in the Zhao Mansion also fell into a dead end, and after several subordinates of the Zhao family were bought by him, they could all testify that after Zhao Guanhou returned home from the first floor, he had been staying with his own woman and had never gone out.

This time, he didn't have the time to commit the crime, and he lacked motivation, which made it impossible to doubt him anymore. Moreover, based on the principle that the criminal cannot be used to reverse the evidence, and there is no evidence at all, which can show that he is related to the case. Moreover, judging from Zhao Guanhou's attitude, he didn't know about Yoko's killing of Fukushima, which seems to prove his innocence.

There is no way to find the owner of the four Minnie guns left at the scene, and their predecessors can probably be traced back to Yankee, but Yankee sold it to Jin Guo, but the clue is nothing more. The Jin State's management of these weapons was chaotic, there were no archives to check, and no one knew whether they continued to be in the hands of the Jin soldiers or changed hands halfway.

At this point, the clues were interrupted again, and the countries in the concession discussed the case one after another, and Fuso was already in an uproar. The intelligence services, the military, and even the cabinet have paid full attention to this case. It was also during this time that another piece of evidence in favor of Zhao Guanhou appeared.

Fuso's intelligence officers on Tieler's side had a clear message back, and Tieler's intelligence agency praised the attack with an unprecedented victory. Obviously, Tiele has admitted responsibility for this attack, and even Yoko's attack on Fukushima can be explained clearly, she was bribed by Tiele to rebel and has defected.

Judging by Banxi's work experience, he didn't think that Tiele had the ability to plan such an attack, let alone complete it without knowing it. But now that Tieler has come forward to claim it, his investigation can have a result.

Just when he was thinking about how to characterize it, the pressure from Fuso also made Banxi feel that this case must be closed quickly. Fuso sent a new commander, Lieutenant General Yamaguchi Suchen, to take over the work of Yasumasa Fukushima, and the old lieutenant general secretly summoned Itanishi as soon as he took office.

After the two met, the veteran from the Satsuma samurai family got straight to the point: "Itanishi-kun, Omura-kun will be transferred out of China, return to China, enter the reserve, and continue to serve His Majesty the Emperor." As for you, you have a week to find the murderer, and if you succeed, I will take credit for you, and if you fail, Omura-kun will not be lonely on the way back to China. ”

With this attitude, Banxi Hachiro knows that the case must be closed now, even if there is no evidence, some evidence must be found. (To be continued.) )
