Yamamoto Satoshi didn't smile so much and didn't cover up the traces of people walking on the ground. That would be too much.
After Zhou Sen and Kitajima Jiro had breakfast, they led the team to follow Yamamoto Toshi's traces.
"After these two people stole the medicine, they would definitely not stay there because they knew they had exposed their traces..."
"Mr. Beidao, do you think they would deliberately create such a clue of their escape to lure us into hunting them down? In fact, they are still hiding in Sanlitun?"
"Zhou Senjun means, it's dark under the lamp?" Bei Dao Erlang actually knew that it was dark under the lamp.
"It's not impossible." Zhou Sen closed his eyes and smiled deeply in thought, "Should we turn back? Anyway, Director Yamamoto has already followed this clue to investigate. If we go there, are we just picking up people's wisdom?"
"How will we check when we go back?" Bei Dao Erlang asked.
"Yes, this is just a guess on my part. If it doesn't go well, it will give others an excuse to be criticized." Zhou Sen said, "Let's go and follow. I don't want no merit, but no fault."
Beijiao Erlang nodded, which was in line with his mentality at the moment.
The two of them led the team and walked leisurely. There were very few traces left behind by the other party. They could only rely on analysis and judgment to speculate on where they might go.
Once this person arrives in the wild, there will be many hiding places. Even if Yamamoto Toshi brings a military dog, which can track the person's scent, it will not be easy to find him.
What's more, the information they can grasp now is very limited. It's just bottles and clothes that were discarded later. Because they left in a hurry, they dug holes and buried them, but they were dug out.
Finding people through the aura above is not a simple matter, even though one of them was seriously injured and was not walking fast.
But the other party has taken the first step after all. If they continue to pursue like this, no one will be sure.
Zhou Sen knows that Malkovich is very important, and Yamamoto Toshi will pursue him at all costs. If he is just an ordinary Soviet spy, even if he falls in love with Sato Shun, he is afraid that he will not be so anxious to pursue him.
This is exactly what Zhou Sen wants.
Although Zhou Sen didn't meet anyone last night, he knew that A Le had come and had received the message.
A Le lives in the mountains and forests all year round. Although he is young, he is the best hunter. He even has ways to avoid hounds.
Therefore, no one noticed that he had come.
Ai Qingshan should have gotten the news, and action will be taken today.
Zhou Sen didn't slow down intentionally. He was walking at a normal speed anyway. As for Yamamoto Satoshi's condition, he didn't know at the moment.
By noon, everyone was hot and hungry, so they had to find a place to rest and eat before starting the journey again.
Zhou Sen couldn't get used to Japanese rice balls, so Anna prepared a flatbread for her, which didn't last long, especially in the summer.
Therefore, it would be a waste if you don’t eat it, not to mention that you are on your way at noon. You don’t have time to make a fire and cook. Just take a few bites of the flatbread and drink some mountain spring water.
In the wilderness, there is no such thing as so much care.
Zhou Sen had just taken out the flatbread and took a few bites. It was a bit hard to swallow. Wu En quickly handed over the kettle.
Zhou Sen took two sips of water and felt a lot more comfortable. When he opened his mouth to bite the big cake in his hand, a gunshot suddenly sounded.
Beijima Erlang and others who were eating all looked up in shock. Apparently they were all frightened by the shot.
Bang bang...
Then there was a burst of fierce gunfire. Listening to the gunfire, there were a lot of people. It was obvious that there were two groups of people fighting fiercely.
Among them were the gunshots of San Ba Gai.
"Zhou Senjun..."
"It's at least five kilometers away from us in the southwest direction." Zhou Sen had already judged it. He didn't care about eating and suddenly stood up, "Kitashima-kun, if my guess is correct, it should be Yamamoto Satoshi and the others. Quick, Gather the team and get reinforcements immediately."
Jiro Beijima immediately gave the order and everyone ran towards the direction of the gunfire.
Because we were walking on a mountain road, the straight-line distance was five kilometers, and even running would have taken us twenty minutes, not to mention the rugged mountain road.
The gunshots kept coming.
Zhou Sen and Bei Dao were riding horses, but not all of their men were on horses. Therefore, even if they could arrive early, they would not dare to venture into danger alone.
Several explosions were heard, and then a few sporadic gunshots were heard...
Zhou Sen and Kitajima Jiro were both panicked. This was clearly a sign of the end of the battle. Everyone knew that it would be fine if Yamamoto Toshi's side won, but also if his opponent won.
The consequences of this are really chilling. Even though it was Yamamoto Satoshi's own behavior, if he is not dead, then he will bear the responsibility. If he is dead, then someone will be unlucky. Besides Zhou Sen, it is him, Kitajima Jiro.
The two of them plus Wu En ignored the people behind them and rushed towards the direction of the smoke.
When they came to a mountain col and looked at the corpses lying on the ground, Bei Dao Erlang jumped off his horse, his heart went cold.
"Unn, be alert!"
Zhou Sen was naturally very panicked. He dismounted and quickly looked for Yamamoto Toshi.
Although Yamamoto Satoshi was wearing casual clothes, he was easy to find. Soon he saw a Japanese spy with a piece of clothing underneath him.
After pushing the already dead agent away, Zhou Sen quickly reached out and felt for his pulse.
There has been no beating for a long time.
Zhou Sen quickly called Bei Dao Erlang.
After hearing the news, Kitajima Erlang hurriedly ran over. When he saw Yamamoto Toshi lying on the ground, his face instantly became extremely ugly.
Zhou Sen shook his head helplessly at him, meaning that he was out of breath.
In addition to the corpses, the battlefield was cleaned, and the guns, ammunition, and supplies that had been valuable for these missions were all taken away.
This movement is fast enough, and it is completely well-trained.
"Kitashima-kun, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time. We have to leave immediately!" Zhou Sen's forehead was dripping with sweat. Of course, he was holding it in. He couldn't be happier when he saw the death of Yamamoto Toshi. This guy finally died.
General Pishkovkov could finally close the net and catch the lurking "mole".
I can finally breathe a sigh of relief without Yamamoto Satoshi staring at me. This guy's doubts about me have not been eliminated, and the threat is too great.
"But what to do with these corpses? We can't let them be exposed in the wilderness, right?" Kitajima Jiro said, the Japanese are not in the habit of discarding the corpses of their compatriots.
"We are only leaving temporarily. It's not that we won't collect the bodies for them. The key is that it is too dangerous for us to stay here now. When the troops are mobilized, we can naturally take the bodies away or bury them on the spot." Zhou Senda.
"What about Commander Yamamoto's body?"
"We can take Director Yamamoto's body away, but not the others." Zhou Sen said.
Kitajima Erlang nodded, he was touched that Zhou Sen did not abandon Yamamoto Toshi's body because of old grudges.
The three of them carried Yamamoto Satoshi's body on horseback, then quickly returned to join their team and quickly returned to Sanlitun.
Use the radio to contact the JMS Military Police Headquarters and quickly mobilize a large force to come over.
Captain Nishihara rushed over.
Lieutenant Colonel Moriyama, commander of the JMS Military Police Battalion, also came.
In the morgue of the police station in Sanlitun, Yamamoto Satoshi's body was placed on a door panel after being groomed. On the ground were ice cubes obtained from the ice cellar of a wealthy family in the town. The weather was too hot. Without ice, the body would decompose quickly.
Nishihara also brought forensic doctors from JMS.
Everyone wore masks and searched around the body of Yamamoto Satoshi, watching the forensic doctor examine the wounds on the body.
"Killed by one shot, naturally entering from the back of the head. This man's marksmanship is extremely high." The forensic doctor said after the examination.
"What gun?"
"You have to take out the bullet in the head to know this, but judging from the shape of the wound, I judge that it is our Type 38 rifle."
"Our own weapons?!" Nishihara asked in surprise.
"Although the Type 38 rifle is a standard weapon of the Imperial Army, many of them have been lost or captured by the enemy in the battles in Manchuria over the years. Unfortunately, we were unable to go to the scene to check, and perhaps more discoveries can be made," the forensic doctor said.
"Forensic Doctor Sugimura, we can take you there, but I'm afraid there aren't many clues left at the scene." Kitajima Jiro said.
"There is no need to go to the scene. Do you know which part of the body was responsible for killing Commander Yamamoto?" Nishihara asked.
Bei Daojiro lowered his head. In fact, he didn't know who did it, but it was an extremely beautiful ambush.
This was by no means an encounter. Yamamoto Toshi died after falling into the opponent's well-designed pocket.
"Chief Nishihara, Director Yamamoto may have been set up."
"Nani?"
"Sir Nishihara, our Beidao captain once suspected that this time the enemy suddenly showed traces in Sanlitun. It was probably intentional. The purpose was to lure us to hunt and then inflict heavy damage on us."
"Wait, once again, is this the first time?" Lieutenant Colonel Moriyama narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his hand, and asked.
"Last time, Director Sato was seriously injured and had an arm broken, wasn't he?" Zhou Sen said slowly.
"You mean, all of this fell into someone else's plan?"
"Sir Moriyama, all this is my analysis and guess, and it may not be accurate. It's just that this time Director Yamamoto was ambushed and died. It's very strange. If the ambush had not been set up early, how could Director Yamamoto's adaptability be possible? All the jade was shattered in such a short period of time?" Zhou Sen bowed slightly and explained.
"Isn't it because you were so slow in bringing in reinforcements that this led to such serious consequences?" Lieutenant Colonel Moriyama asked sharply.
"Sir, my subordinates and others immediately rushed to help after hearing the gunfire. However, the distance was too far and our legs were not strong enough. By the time we arrived, it was already like this." Jiro Kitajima explained.
"Why didn't you go with Director Yamamoto Satoshi instead of falling behind? If you joined forces, it might be different!"
"This is indeed our fault, but we and Director Yamamoto have always been tracking separately. This is also to prevent one mistake from making a mistake and letting the main culprit go." Zhou Sen saw that Jiro Kitajima wanted to tell the truth. He quickly explained.
I really wish I couldn't hide it, but I couldn't tell the truth at this time. I had to maintain the dignity of the deceased.
Of course, it was not because of his kindness, but because of his position, he had to do this and must maintain it.
Lieutenant Colonel Moriyama's face softened a lot after hearing Zhou Sen's explanation. Yamamoto Toshi was dead. For such a big thing, the superiors will definitely hold him accountable. As the captain of the JMS Military Police Brigade, he must have a share of responsibility. Because the trouble occurred in their own jurisdiction.
There is also Captain Nishihara, who is currently the temporary head of the JMS agency. He failed to grasp the situation of gangsters and anti-Japanese armed activities in the area under his jurisdiction in a timely manner, which resulted in a tragedy. He will also be held accountable.
On the contrary, it was Zhou Sen, who was seconded from Bubingcheng to assist in the investigation. He had already helped arrest Wu Banblind and Ma Wu before.
And the subsequent work was all led by Yamamoto Satoshi from Bingcheng. The person who took the blame could not be found.
Along with Zhou Sen, Bei Dao Erlang is a good candidate to take the blame. This is the reason why the rescue was not timely enough.
But according to Zhou Sen's explanation, it seems that Jiro Kitajima did nothing wrong. If you want to blame him, you can only blame Yamamoto Satoshi for being too eager for quick success and quick success.
Who would have known that when chasing two key criminals, one of them was still seriously injured and was ambushed.
The most unjustifiable thing is that we still don’t know which team the opponent is.
Is it the Anti-League or the Daozi?
If this is the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and the others report their numbers to the police, and they are gangsters, then they will send heavy troops to encircle and suppress them. Now there are no clues, so we can only organize a big crusade.
Anyway, with the strength of the JMS Military Police and the police, that is definitely not possible. Moriyama is already thinking about how to ask for support from above.
"Mr. Nishihara, Chief Moriyama, I will hand over the detailed autopsy report to you tomorrow." Sugimura Medical Examiner said at this time.
"Okay, please."
Everyone is dead, the case seems to be unsolvable, and there are still problems with the aftermath. Zhou Sen naturally uses the radio to report the relevant situation to Akiyama Nosuke in Bingcheng and wait for the next order.
Yamamoto Satoshi is the director of the Hart spy. This position is very important in the Kwantung Army intelligence agency. Even though Yamamoto Satoshi is just a major, his status and weight are more important than the senior staff officers of the Kwantung Army Intelligence Department.
And he holds many secrets in his head. Some of these secrets are known, and some may never be known.
After his death, Agent Hart was in chaos. In such a sudden situation, it was not easy to find someone who could replace Yamamoto Satoshi.
At this time, Zhou Sen had returned to JMS. He was on leave, and Nishihara took over the case.
Duan Laosan was tortured to death, and his second brother and illegitimate son were also dug out. As for how they were treated, Zhou Sen didn't know and couldn't control them even if he wanted to.
There is also Wu Banblind, this guy is considered to be in the same group as "Chang Bo" and Malkovich. Not only Sato Shun's injury, but also Yamamoto Satoshi's death has been blamed on him.
Duan Laosan and Wu Banblind couldn't argue with each other, and they probably wouldn't survive, and people like Nishihara and Moriyama wouldn't let them survive.
Someone has to bear their anger for them.
