Kyoji Miyake sat in the back seat of the car in front of him when the gunshot rang out, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Next to the car in the rear, a Japanese soldier put away his rifle with a smoking muzzle, and beside him there were countless soldiers who came out of both sides, carrying a corpse that had been prepared for a long time.

Some of the corpses were dressed in the clothes of the Japanese Kwantung Army soldiers, while others were dressed in civilian clothes of the anti-union guerrillas.

When the scene was arranged, the Japanese officer raised his hand to look at his watch and ordered, "Withdraw." ”

While the officers led the soldiers to evacuate, Kyoji Miyake's car slowly drove forward.

The next day, the Manchuria Daily published the news that Nobuyoshi Honjo, chief of the Special Operations Section of the Japanese Kwantung Army, was ambushed by the anti-Japanese guerrillas and died on the spot.

At the same time, the Security Bureau also issued a notice of full wanted Chance Year.

The reason is: the Communist Party is anti-Japanese.

And on the special train bound for Manchuria, Park Byung-jung also took out the confidential files sealed in the iron box and distributed them to Tang Qianlin, Li Yunfan, Ni Xiaowan and Yi Mochen.

"A week ago, there was a tragic incident in the small town of Sanlihe in Boktu, Hung Yen province." Park Byung-jung threw the photo of the scene on the table, "A five-compartment train from the Soviet side drove into the small station of Sanlihe in the middle of the night, there were no survivors on board, everyone died, this is a photo of the scene, you see." ”

Tang Qianlin picked up the photo, looked at the two people curled up in a ball with their hands clenched into fists on the seat in the photo, and then looked at other photos and found that the posture was all the same.

Li Yunfan was puzzled at this time: "It's strange, they feel burned to death." ”

Yi Mochen nodded silently, and Ni Xiaowan looked at the photo carefully: "Yes, the body is curled up, and the hands are clenched into fists, these signs indicate that they were burned to death, but in the photo, the train is intact, and there is no sign of burning?" ”

Tang Qianlin said: "Moreover, even if the train is burned, the people in the train will not sit there and wait to be burned to death, everyone in the photo is sitting in their places when they die, without the slightest sign of chaos, as if they were burned to death in an instant." ”

Li Yunfan shook his head and said: "This is not true, the temperature of the flame must reach a certain level before it can kill people in an instant, in that case, people will also be burned to ashes, and they will not leave a complete form." The reason why the body burned before death takes on this form is because of the pain, the natural reaction of the body, and the second is because the body shrinks after being heated, and the length is shorter than before death, and the weight will be reduced, in addition, the proteins in the body are coagulated by heat, and the muscles contract, causing the body to be clenched into a fist. ”

Tang Qianlin looked at Li Yunfan and said, "Professional." ”

Yi Mochen said beside him: "He is specifically investigating these, can he be unprofessional?" When I used to be a police officer, I was a famous detective. ”

Park Byung-jung took out another report and handed it to Tang Qianlin: "This is the post-mortem report of the Japanese side. ”

Tang Qianlin looked at the report and said: "There is no sign of burning and carbonization around the deceased, but most of the internal organs have been carbonized, and according to the analysis of the degree of digestion of the residual substances in the stomach, he should have died within 3 hours after the meal." ”

After reading it, Tang Qianlin deliberately asked: "Was this report written by that unit?" ”

Park Byung-jung nodded silently.

The others looked at Tang Qianlin, Tang Qianlin shook his head and said, "Since they are already investigating, what are they looking for us for?" ”

Park Byung-jung said: "This is General Miyake's order, Mr. Tang, this time it is up to you, because three of the dead on that train are government officials." ”

When Li Yunfan was about to ask a question, Ni Xiaowan said first: "By the way, you just said that it was a five-compartment train, what does that mean?" ”

Park Byung-jung explained: "In short, it is a special train, a special train for the government. ”

"Government train." Li Yunfan looked at the photo, "Judging from the photo, it is indeed luxuriously decorated. Mr. Park, how many people are there on this special train? ”

Park Byung-jung replied: "There are 32 people, of which 3 are important officials of the Manchukuo government, 5 are civil officials, and the rest are all guards. ”

Yi Mochen got up and looked at the weapons in the cabinet beside him, looking careless, actually thinking about how to contact the fake Xia Shuang, he was eager to know the whereabouts of the real Xia Shuang.

Li Yunfan asked again: "It is not written in the report, what are they going to do?" ”

Park Byung-jung hesitated and replied, "Return from the territory of the Soviet Union." ”

Tang Qianlin looked at the report: "Why did you go to the Soviet Union?" ”

Park Byung-jung shook his head: "I don't know about this, it's confidential, and it shouldn't have anything to do with this death." ”

"Should? I don't think so. Li Yunfan closed the report, "This kind of large-scale death, I think it should be defined as an assassination, since it is an assassination, it is necessary to know the motive of the assassin." ”

Park Byung-jung said: "I told you everything I knew, and I didn't hide anything." In addition to us, the Hailar Local Security Bureau also intervened in the case, because it was discovered on their territory, and the Xinjing Security Bureau sent an inspector. General Miyake's order is that we must get ahead of them to find out the truth of the matter, and this investigation is codenamed - Dark Fire. ”

Tang Qianlin pondered for a moment: "Section Chief Park, what do we belong to now?" ”

Park Bingzheng took out the document in his hand and handed it to Tang Qianlin: "General Miyake has officially appointed you as a special senior advisor of the secret search section, this Miss Ni is your assistant, Mr. Yi Mochen is the consultant commissioner, and Section Chief Li's position remains unchanged." ”

Looking at Park Byung-zheng's documents, Tang Qianlin knew that Kyoji Miyake was putting his trust on the surface for himself, and he was still wary of Li Yunfan.

Tang Qianlin said again: "You misunderstood, I mean, does the secret search class belong to the Kwantung Army, or the Security Bureau?" ”

Park Byung-jung said: "Let's put it this way, we are an independent department independent of the Security Bureau, and we have the power to transfer the personnel of the Harbin Local Security Bureau, and in the strict sense, we can also ask other local security bureaus to cooperate, and we can order all police forces in Manchukuo to apply for the use of the armed forces of the Security Corps in case of major incidents." ”

It is not difficult to analyze from Park Byung-zheng's words that the secret search department only has some authority on the boundary of Harbin, and although any other work in Harbin is independent and cannot be managed by other departments, it needs assistance and needs to apply.

As for whether people want to or not, it's not the secret search class that has the final say.

Park Byung-jung glanced at everyone and said, "This time the matter is very troublesome, if we don't find out before them, or if we don't find out clearly, we will all be in trouble." In addition, a warrant has been issued for the arrest of Chance on the grounds that he is a Communist. ”

Everyone was silent, the wanted Qian Sinian was expected, and it was best to have as many dog-eat-dog things as possible.

In the next few days, everyone on the train continued to analyze the scene reports and photos, but there was never a slightly reliable conclusion, and after experiencing the Seven Star Cave incident, everyone was also very reluctant to define the special train tragedy as a strange force and chaos.

When the special train of the secret search class sailed to the Boketu Sanlihe Station, it was already approaching evening.

As soon as the whistle sounded, the lights on the small station were immediately brightened, and Tang Qianlin looked through the window as countless Japanese Kwantung Army soldiers stood there in formation, led by a Japanese officer standing there and saying something to them.

At this time, Tang Qianlin saw a face in the window of Xiaozhan Office looking outside.

"Get out of the car." Park Byung-jung stood in front of the carriage door and said, "This is your new ID." ”

When everyone got out of the car, they took the documents from Park Byung-jung one by one.

After stepping on the platform of Sanlihe Station, Tang Qianlin found that there were three houses in the entire station, an office, a waiting hall, and a place that seemed to be a warehouse.

And next to a frozen river next to the platform, the small unit of the Kwantung Army had already set up camp there, and barbed wire was pulled up around the camp, and horses were placed around it, and fortifications were erected, and strangely all the tents in the camp had the sign of the Red Cross.

The Japanese officer stepped forward and nodded to Tang Qianlin and the others, and Park Bingzheng introduced: "This is Captain Kubo Tiandao, who is responsible for the security of this investigation operation. ”

After speaking, Park Byung-jung introduced Tang Qianlin and others one by one.

Kubo Tendo looked very polite: "Please take care of me." ”

Tang Qianlin only nodded politely.

Li Yunfan stepped forward and asked, "Captain Kubo, who was the first person to discover the train on the night of the accident?" ”

Kubo Amamichi replied, "It's the stationmaster of Sanlihe Station. ”

Li Yunfan asked: "Where are the people?" I'll talk to him. ”

Kubo Tendo turned to look at the office and said, "In the office." ”

Only then did Tang Qianlin know that the person in front of the office window that he had seen from the train earlier was the stationmaster here.

When Li Yunfan was about to go in, Tang Qianlin stopped him: "Section Chief Li, let's go separately, Xiaowan, you follow me in to interrogate, Section Chief Li, you and Boss Yi will check the environment around." ”

After speaking, Tang Qianlin asked Kubo Tiandao again: "Where is that train now?" ”

Kubo Tendo pointed to the distance and said, "Stop at an abandoned railway track in the distance, and the surrounding area has been blocked. ”

Tang Qianlin nodded and led Ni Xiaowan towards the office, while Li Yunfan and Yi Mochen walked across the railroad tracks to check the surrounding environment.

At this time, Park Byung-jung had already returned to the train, sitting in the warm carriage, drinking coffee, and looking at Li Yunfan and Yi Mochen walking in the wilderness.

After Tang Qianlin and Ni Xiaowan walked into the office, Zhou Zhouyu, who was guarding the brazier in the house, immediately got up, bowed to the two of them, and said, "Hello sir, this is your wife, right?" At first glance, the wife is a noble person. ”

Sycophants. Tang Qianlin gave the first definition of this Wednesday in his heart.

At the same time, Ni Xiaowan said: "What nonsense, I'm not his wife, I'm his assistant." ”

Wednesday Yu hurriedly bowed and apologized, and raised his palm: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't know, please forgive me." ”

Tang Qianlin moved a stool and sat on the edge of the brazier: "We are not Japanese, you don't have to be like this." ”

"No, no, no, treat equally, everyone is equal in the territory of Manchukuo!" Yu said solemnly on Wednesday, and it seemed that this middle-aged man was very familiar with the propaganda policies of the Japanese.

Tang Qianlin frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense, tell me the detailed process of how you discovered that train, don't miss any details." ”

Wednesday Yu stood there and said: "Yes, I know, seven days ago in the evening, it was very late, about three o'clock in the morning, according to the custom, at that time I had to get up to patrol, so, I came out with a lantern, and as soon as I walked out, I heard movement on the other side of the tracks......"
