The body of a Japanese soldier was stored there alone.
This is the one who was assassinated.
Yuyuki Iwamori specifically ordered this.
Firstly, it is to facilitate inspection when "Shibu Taniguchi" breaks the eucalyptus.
Secondly, it is used for revenge because it cannot be broken.
Iwamori Yuyuki has ordered that if "Shibu Taniguchi" still cannot find the murderer within the three-day stipulated time, then he will send someone to carry the body and launch the most ferocious revenge in Cabanatu!
Meng Shaoyuan had been standing in front of the corpse for thirty minutes.
The sergeant named Hirasaki who was ordered to accompany him was obviously a little impatient.
It's just that "Shibu Taniguchi" was acting under orders, and his military rank was much higher than his own, so Hirasaki didn't dare to vent his dissatisfaction.
"What do you think?" Meng Shaoyuan suddenly asked.
"me?"
Hirasaki was startled: "Sir, I'm not good at breaking the eucalyptus."
"No, I just want to hear your personal thoughts." Meng Shaoyuan acted very stubborn.
Hirasaki could only bite the bullet and said: "There were two stab wounds on the body. The first stab was from the left rib, causing the victim Akira Matsushiro to lose the ability to resist. Then the murderer almost stabbed Akira Matsushiro. A second stab was inserted into the same part, directly causing the death of Akira Matsushiro."
"His name is Matsushiro Akira."
Meng Shaoyuan really just knew the name of this unfortunate guy.
He suddenly became very interested.
He then took out something from his pocket and stabbed it into the left rib of Hirasaki beside him.
Hirasaki was startled.
"do not move."
Meng Shaoyuan drank in a low voice.
Hirasaki didn't feel any pain.
Meng Shaoyuan quickly came to him and tapped his heart again.
Only then did Hirasaki see clearly that what the other person was holding was just an ordinary pen.
He looked confused: "Taniguchi-kun, what are you doing?"
"I'm just doing some experiments." Meng Shaoyuan put away the pen: "I have some doubts in my heart that cannot be answered."
He didn't say what doubts he had.
What a weirdo.
Hirasaki felt guilty.
Meng Shaoyuan's eyes fell on Matsucheng Akira's body again.
Like most Japanese soldiers, Akira Matsushiro is extremely short, estimated to be about 1.5 meters tall.
Japan's original conscription system required Category A soldiers suitable for active duty to be at least 1.55 meters tall.
However, in the later stages of the war, the Japanese army could not hold on to the bottom line of 1.55 meters.
In order to expand the number of soldiers, the Japanese army had to lower the height standard again and again.
In the later period, most of the soldiers in the Japanese Army's Class A Division were less than 1.5 meters tall.
Therefore, the Matsushiro Akira in front of him is relatively qualified among the Japanese army.
The most direct reason why Japanese people are generally short in stature is actually very simple: their diet.
In ancient times, Japan advocated Chinese customs, and Buddhism was very popular in Japan. Buddhism advocates not drinking alcohol or eating meat. Therefore, influenced by this, vegetarianism became popular in Japan.
There was a period in Japanese history when the Emperor directly ordered a ban on eating meat other than fish, making all Japanese people vegetarian.
Long-term vegetarian diet lacks protein intake, resulting in an unbalanced diet. So the Japanese gradually became shorter.
As we all know, Japan was born by the sea. No matter how prosperous it is, it is essentially an island country with scarce resources and a small land area. The land is mostly mountainous and hilly, lacking plains, making it impossible to develop animal husbandry, with fish as the main food.
At the same time, due to the lack of protective measures in the past, Japan's frequent tsunamis and earthquakes caused huge losses in population and resources.
Among those who survived, the taller ones had difficulty obtaining enough food and were gradually eliminated during many natural disasters, so those who survived were all short people.
After the US military occupied Japan, it gradually changed the eating habits of the Japanese, which finally made them no longer dwarf-like in height.
One and a half meters.
Meng Shaoyuan always felt that his height stood out among the Japanese.
When he was in the Philippines, someone once curiously asked him why he was so tall, and he didn't even look Japanese at all.
Every time, Meng Shaoyuan just dealt with it awkwardly.
Meng Shaoyuan also thought that if he might be exposed, it would definitely be because of his height.
He turned to look at Hirasaki beside him.
This guy is probably not even 1.5 meters tall.
Hirasaki also felt oppressed.
He couldn't help but said: "Sir Taniguchi, you are so tall."
"Ah, yes." Meng Shaoyuan has long been used to it: "I am an outlier among the Japanese. I don't know why, but I have been trying my best to grow taller since I was born.
Hey, sometimes I feel really ashamed of myself for being so tall. I feel like I don’t look like a Japanese at all. "
That's what he said, but in Hirasaki's heart, it was full of envy.
It would be great if I could be that tall.
"Songcheng, how were you assassinated?" Worried that the other party would ask questions about his height again, Meng Shaoyuan hurriedly changed the subject.
"He's really unlucky."
Hirasaki sighed: "He has a day off today, so he decided to go for a walk."
"Tell the truth." Meng Shaoyuan interrupted him: "When you said this, your eyes were always avoiding me, so you must be hiding something."
"Your Excellency, can't I hide it from you?"
Hirasaki smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, I have a good relationship with Matsushita, which is why the Commander asked me to accompany you.
Songcheng had a woman in Cabanatu who was a local. Her man died. After Songcheng saw her, he developed her into his mistress. He always goes there every time he takes a break, as long as he brings a little food. "
Meng Shaoyuan frowned: "Why do you want to hide this?"
Yes, isn't it normal for these Japanese beast soldiers to find a woman?
"That's an order from His Excellency the Commander." Hirasaki felt helpless: "Your Excellency the Commander believes that it is normal to find a woman, and he does not object to it. But he is not allowed to stay with a woman for a long time, especially It's a local woman.
He believed this would lower the resolve of Imperial soldiers and make them become homesick. And those local women are all despicable, and may even be bribed by the Americans, and can easily betray our intelligence.
But in fact, this order does not work. Not only in Songcheng, but also many of our companions have kept women here. Not only is it cheap, but it also makes them feel like home. "
Meng Shaoyuan understood.
As the war progresses, those who are determined to fight for the Japanese Empire and His Majesty the Emperor have become increasingly weak. More Japanese soldiers are beginning to miss home and do not want to continue the war!
All they can do is to put this longing in the local area!
Although Iwamori Yuyuki issued the order, in fact, he had no way to stop his subordinates from doing so!
