The call was from Ono Jiro. He told Xie Xuan that Oishi Sachiko was attacked near Shenpu Security Headquarters on Wuchang Road. Also attacked at the same time was Chiaki Matsubara, a Japanese second lieutenant at the security headquarters.
Putting down the phone, Xie Xuan drove to the scene quickly.
The Sichuan Road and Bridge in Shenjiang had been blocked by the Japanese army, and Xie Xuan showed his ID before he could pass.
Along Sichuan Road to the north, military police are on duty at all intersections, and the entire street is under martial law.
When we arrived at the scene, people from the Special High School were surveying the scene.
Sachiko Oishi was shot once in the abdomen and once in the face, which looked very ferocious.
She was lying on her side on the ground, with a pool of blood under her body that had not yet dried, causing a bunch of flies to fly around.
She also held a Southern Type 14 pistol in her hand, with her finger on the trigger. The position of the rear bolt was a bit abnormal, as if the bullet had jammed.
The Nambu Type 14 pistol was designed in 1925 (the 14th year of Taisho) by Nambu Kirijiro based on his Nambu Riku-type pistol.
This gun is an improved version of the original Nanbu-style pistol. It was manufactured by the Nagoya Arsenal. It was listed as a standard weapon of the Japanese Army in 1925. During World War II, it was equipped with general-level officers. The gun is commonly known as the "Tortoise Box".
The gun uses Nanbu-style 8mm bullets, which have a long aiming baseline and high accuracy. However, the penetrating power of this bullet is very weak and can be blocked by five layers of quilts.
In addition, the design structure of the gun must be strictly maintained to ensure reliability. Otherwise, the second bullet may not be loaded properly after firing, causing the shooting to stop and requiring manual loading, turning it into a "manual pistol."
The Japanese are proud of this gun, but the Chinese soldiers don't like it because the reliability is too poor. It always jams at critical times and will lose lives at critical times.
Chiaki Matsubara was shot four times, one in the chest and one in the back.
Chiaki Matsubara's hands were empty. Apparently, he did not react at all when he was attacked.
The scene was inspected by the gendarmerie, and Xie Xuan could only watch.
The one who died was a Japanese. He had no right to speak. He even watched because Ono Jiro felt that he could provide some information.
Among all these people, he is the only one who knows the truth.
This operation was planned by him and implemented by Luo Qi.
In order to mislead the Japanese, he deliberately killed another Japanese officer, making the Japanese think that Sachiko Oishi was accidentally killed.
In fact, Sachiko Oishi is the real target.
Xie Xuan came over and had another task: to confirm whether Oishi Sachiko was dead.
Now it seems that Luo Qi's mission has been successfully completed, and he can take credit from him when he returns.
After Xie Xuan waited for Onojiro to finish his work, he walked over and asked softly: "Has the murderer been caught?"
Ono Jiro's face was ashen: "I haven't caught him yet."
The shooting of Japanese military officers and agents near the Shenpu Security Headquarters was the biggest provocation to the Japanese secret service.
This place belongs to Hongkou, and most of the people living around it are Japanese expatriates and military families. If you want to vent your anger, you can't find anyone.
Xie Xuan asked: "Is their target Miss Tomoko?"
Ono Jiro shook his head: "It doesn't look like it."
Chiaki Matsubara was shot four times, while Sachiko Oishi was shot only twice. The first shot hit the abdomen, and the second shot hit the face. Obviously, they were all shot casually.
Xie Xuan asked: "Chief Ono, has the gun in Miss Tomoko's hand been fired?"
His current task is to draw Ono Jiro's attention to Matsubara Chiaki.
This operation was carried out by the military commander, there is no denying this.
However, making Onojiro mistakenly believe that this was an ordinary killing operation by the military commander would make it easier for Onojiro to accept the death of Oishi Sachiko.
"Let me see."
Ono Jiro walked over and picked up the gun in Oishi Sachiko's hand.
After just one glance, Ono Jiro frowned tightly.
"This shot was fired, but the second shot jammed. It's a pity. Otherwise, with Tomoko's shooting skills, it would be difficult for the opponent to succeed."
Xie Xuan sighed and said: "Yes, the people in the military commander are really lawless."
Ono Jiro asked: "Do you also think that this was done by the military commander?"
"Of course, the attackers have received professional training, there are no other warheads around, and they are definitely masters of hitting the target with their guns. Moreover, they evacuated in a measured manner, and they have obviously done research on the surrounding terrain. This is not the kind of person who is hot-headed and impulsive. Made it happen.”
Xie Xuan is absolutely right in what he said. He is a professional and has long been familiar with the surrounding terrain. Luo Qi has also become familiar with the surrounding environment during this time.
Ono Jiro nodded: "Your analysis is correct."
Xie Xuan is different from the other losers in the Secret Service. He has quick thinking and clear logic. He grasps the key points at once, and his trust in him is not in vain.
"Section Chief Ono, we recently discovered the traffic of a military commander..."
Ono Jiro said coldly: "Yoshi, arrest him immediately."
"What I mean is to hang him up first and let him take us to find the other members of the military command."
Ono Jiro said coldly: "This is what you mean. What I mean is, to avoid long nights and nightmares, the military commanders will not be able to arrest them all. The torture tools of the military police are enough to make anyone speak."
Xie Xuan immediately said: "Then I will not go to the Thirteenth Division for the time being, and I will arrest people immediately."
Ono Jiro said: "I will send Ohki Yuri to act with you."
He was very satisfied with Xie Xuan's attitude. He still had to distinguish what was important and what was important.
Xie Xuan said: "Thank you, Section Chief Ono."
He originally wanted to deliberately disturb the traffic. After all, there was someone there. If the two parties fought, that person would definitely run away if he was not stupid.
But with Japanese people involved, it's different.
At this time, the Japanese were all thinking about seeking revenge from the military commander. If they caught the trafficker, they would probably be trampled to pieces and fed to the dogs even if he confessed honestly.
The Japanese methods are so cruel.
Ohgi Yuri is a second lieutenant in the Extra-High School Course. He is thin and wears a pair of glasses. Before joining the army, he was a primary school teacher, but now he has become an executioner whose hands are stained with the blood of the Chinese people.
Xie Xuan bowed to him and said respectfully: "Second Lieutenant Damu, thank you for your hard work."
"Let's go."
Ohgi Yuri didn't talk much and gave people a gloomy feeling. I don't know what kind of face he looked like when he was teaching children.
War has distorted human nature, making ordinary people numb and cruel, and making them less human.
Oki Yuri took several Japanese soldiers and followed Xie Xuan to arrest people.
The scope of activities of the military commanders was mainly in the concession. They had to report to the police station first. The patrol room led the team and went straight to their destination: Hong'anli, located near Henan Road and Haining.
"Director Xie, why are you here?"
As soon as Xie Xuan arrived at the lane entrance of Hong'anli, he was greeted by Yuan Yijun, the section chief who was squatting outside.
Seeing Yuan Yijun, Xie Xuan looked at him with disdain and said, "I am here to report to you? Get out of here!"
