With only bullet casings, there was no way to confirm the identity of the attacker. Even if the plainclothes special high school students who were attacked secretly cursed the concession patrol for not doing their best, they could only accept the reality. After counting the bodies and treating the injured, the few remaining uninjured plainclothes students from the extra-high school class looked at each other in tears. There were more than a dozen people when they came, but now, six were dead and four were injured, and only five of them were left unscathed.
Six people died and four were injured, which shows that the attackers were very good at shooting, because the concession patrol found only ten bullet casings on the roof of the building. They had only heard ten gunshots when they faced death threats before. "Where were the injured people who were carried out from the dance hall sent to?" A concession patrolman who was hiding in a corner smoking had his neck caught by a big hand from behind, and the sharp tip of the knife was pressed against his head. armpit.
The frightened police officer, whose legs were weak, subconsciously tensed up his body. After the man behind him repeated the question, the policeman who was held hostage gave the answer. The person holding the patrolman hostage at the moment was Tang Cheng. He came down from the roof and did not go far. Instead, he found the right opportunity and quietly controlled the concession patrolman who was hiding from people smoking. "You are Chinese too. Stop bullying Chinese people in the future!" After getting the information he wanted from the concession patrolman, Tang Cheng took back the dagger.
Several folded banknotes were thrust into the hands of the patrolman by Tang Cheng. Before leaving, Tang Cheng did not forget to give the policeman a few words of explanation. "After taking the money, what happened just now is just a transaction. If you don't tell me, if I don't tell it, no one else will know! I don't kill Chinese people, but if you do things for the Japanese, that's another matter ! Because traitors should be punished by everyone!" Tang Cheng gave the money, indicating that he did not want to embarrass the concession patrol, but his last words were also a warning.
Tang Cheng came quietly, and then left quietly. When the frightened concession patrol came to his senses, Tang Cheng had long disappeared behind him. Half an hour later, Tang Cheng arrived at the hospital where the injured were treated. Tang Cheng secretly observed for a while and found that there were also plainclothes members of the Special High School at the hospital. Tang Cheng did not take immediate action, but turned and left.
Within one day, there were two consecutive attacks, causing heavy casualties. The lights were brightly lit in the Shanghai Super High School. After receiving the news, the middle and high-level members were gathered in the conference room to discuss countermeasures. The person sitting at the head of the conference room was Koyama Matsumoto, the current director of the Special Higher Education Course. The others were sitting on both sides of the long table. Perhaps because they saw Koyama Matsumoto’s expression was not good, no one spoke in the conference room, and the atmosphere was It seemed a lot duller.
Koyama Matsumoto, who was holding his hands on his chest, was very annoyed. He still had no clue about the attack on the apartment building during the day. Unexpectedly, after nightfall, the plainclothes officers deployed in the concession by the Special High School were attacked again, and this time the attack was also It happened in public. "Wakko, please tell me the specific situation!" Koyama Matsumoto looked around everyone with a cold face. Seeing that no one spoke, he reached out and knocked on the table, first tapping the young woman sitting next to him.
Ogura Kazuko looks young, but she has been engaged in intelligence work for several years. Moreover, Ogura Kazuko's father is an old friend of Oyama Matsumoto. She is also one of the most trusted people in Oyama Matsumoto's Shanghai Special High School. Ogura Kazuko, who was named, did not hesitate and opened the folder in front of him, "The attack that occurred in the concession apartment building during the day was judged by many people to be a retaliatory action by the military commander. I personally agree with this. It's just that Regarding the specific details, I have a different view. I think the attacker was not from the Juntong Shanghai Station."
Ogura Kazuko's last words instantly made the conference room agitated. However, because Oyama Matsumoto was still here, all the other people who were impatient could only slander secretly in their hearts, but did not dare to say it out loud and accuse Xiao in person. Kurawako. Ogura Kazuko naturally knew that her last words would bring slander to her, but judging from her reaction, it was obvious that she didn't care about harmony. "The reason why I say this is naturally my own reason. I will explain it next."
"We have carried out roundups against the Shanghai Station of the Military Command in the concession many times before, and achieved good results. Please imagine, if there is such a master in the Shanghai Station, why did this master not Come out to stop and target our roundup?" The question raised by Kazuko Ogura at this moment, everyone in the conference room could not find a reasonable answer for a while, and some people were even thinking secretly, feeling that Kazuko Ogura's inference Not without reason.
"I also looked through some previously sealed files in the archives, and found that just a year ago, a mysterious gunman labeled as a ghost appeared in Shanghai. This mysterious gunman, who was kept as a ghost, once attacked New Asia hotels and army hospitals, and caused a large number of casualties of civilians and officers." As he spoke, Ogura Kazuko took out a few pieces of paper from the folder and passed them to Koyama Matsumoto and several operation captains in turn.
"This is what I excerpted from the sealed files. One of them shows that the ghost gunman once used the same shotgun. The shotgun first appeared on the European battlefield in World War I because it was a trench. A powerful weapon for combat and close combat, the disability rate is much higher than the fatality rate. In the end, both warring parties agreed not to use it. After the war, this weapon gradually became a civilian hunting weapon and rarely appeared in Asia. , especially China.”
Koyama Matsumoto held the information in his hand and looked at it very carefully. Although there was no concrete evidence to support what Ogura Kazuko said at the moment, Koyama Matsumoto felt that Ogura Kazuko's judgment seemed to make sense. "The results of the on-site investigation of the apartment building show that the attacker is just one person. The person who can kill six of our plainclothes agents at once is definitely not an ordinary person. The military commander has always liked to carry out retaliatory actions, but based on past experience, the killer assassin they sent There seems to be no master of this skill among us.”
"So, I judged that the mysterious gunman called the Ghost was the one who attacked the apartment building. Originally this was just my preliminary judgment, but after the attack on the MGM Ballroom, I suddenly realized that my judgment might There was no mistake." Kazuko Ogura did not go to the scene of the attack at the MGM Ballroom, but she perfectly deduced the entire attack process based on the confessions of the surviving plainclothes agents.
"The attack that occurred at the MGM Ballroom should be divided into two parts. The first part was the shooting that occurred in the ballroom. The attacker used a Browning pistol at the time, and the casualties caused to our personnel were not very large. , according to the situation at the time, this was a typical military retaliation action. But what no one expected was that when our support personnel arrived at the scene and escorted the bodies out of the dance hall, the second wave of attacks occurred. "
"In the second wave of attacks, the murderer used a rifle. According to the bullet casings found at the scene, it can be determined that the murderer used a Mauser rifle. This kind of German-style rifle has a huge market in China, and there are also many old and new ones in Shanghai's black market. Mauser rifle, so the source of the weapon can no longer be determined. What I want to say is that the murderer only fired ten shots with the rifle, causing six deaths and four injuries to our personnel. This shows that the murderer is a master with a good idea. "
What Ogura Kazuko said at the moment seemed to have nothing to do with the judgment she had made before, but when she took out the second excerpt from the folder, Oyama Matsumoto's attitude changed significantly. "This is also what I excerpted from the sealed file. The file said that the ghost gunman was also a sharpshooter. He once shot multiple military police and officers in succession with only a rifle when surrounded by military police forces."
After reading the excerpt that Ogura Kazuko took out, Koyama Matsumoto frowned and asked. "Are you saying that the perpetrators of the attacks on apartment buildings and dance clubs are probably the entire ghost gunman group?" Koyama Matsumoto is an old friend of Ogura Kazuko's father. Although she feels that Ogura Kazuko's judgment makes sense, there is something in her words. It just left some room for Kazuko Ogura. Hearing the word "very likely" used in Koyama Matsumoto's words, Ogura Kazuko chuckled. She knew that Koyama Matsumoto was helping her.
"Section Chief, although I don't have clear evidence in my hand to prove my judgment, based on the current situation and the evidence we have collected, the possibility that the murderer is a ghost gunman is indeed very high!" Kazuko Ogura He is also a smart man. Since Koyama Matsumoto, the section chief, has already spoken for him, instead of insisting on insisting, it is better to follow Koyama Matsumoto's attitude and speak, so that he does not have to worry about offending other people.
Ogura Kazuko's knowledge and cooperation made Koyama Matsumoto, the section chief, very satisfied. After putting down the materials in his hands and looking around at the others, Koyama Matsumoto spoke. "Since none of you have objections to what Kazuko just said, then everyone's next task is to launch an investigation immediately. I will open the sealed files about this ghost gunman. I hope it will help your subsequent investigation!"
Koyama Matsumoto's words may sound a bit irresponsible, but this is the actual situation, because the Shanghai Special Higher Education School is not monolithic. Although Koyama Matsumoto is the section chief of the Shanghai Special High School, there are not many people he can truly trust. The intelligence team that died in the concession apartment building was not one of his closest associates. After the meeting, Koyama Matsumoto called Ogura Kazuko to his office and gave him careful instructions.
At this time, Tang Cheng had already returned to his residence. Lying on the bed, he carefully recalled his activities throughout the day. After confirming that there were no flaws, Tang Cheng fell asleep. Today's two attacks, in Tang Cheng's view, can only be regarded as appetizers. After he got what he ordered from the bar, Tang Cheng decided to give the Japanese a big dish.
