Yamada Otomo racked his brains and guts, and came up with all his guesses about vipers and pit vipers.

Finally, fearing that Akashi Hideki would be dissatisfied, he continued: "There is also Mavid from the Investigation Division. He has also been investigating the murder of consultant Harada. Before this, he has arrested two habitual thieves who often operate in the Taiyuan area. These two

Everyone is good at using Flying Tiger Claws, and we are currently following this clue to continue tracing."

However, his answer still did not satisfy Akashi Hideki, because although what Yamada Otomo said was very organized and logical, in the final analysis, it was all speculation and judgment about the target, and none of it could be implemented and truly determined.

There are hundreds of thousands of people in Taiyuan City, and there are at least tens of thousands of young people aged between 25 and 30 years old.

As for height and body shape, you must know that people in northern China are generally taller than those in the south. Moreover, due to poor living conditions and lack of nutrition in this era, Chinese civilians are basically on the thin side. It is difficult to find a fat person walking on the street.

It is really unrealistic to filter based on this condition.

However, he still nodded and said: "The judgments you mentioned can be used as a basis for searching for vipers and adders, but guessing alone is not enough. The purpose should be stronger.

As for Mavid, you should pay more attention and be sure to find these two poisonous snakes, otherwise I will still hold you responsible for your dereliction of duty."

"Yes, I will definitely find them as soon as possible and avenge Captain Yoshioka." Hearing Akashi Hideki's tone softened, Yamada Otomo knew that he had finally passed this level. He couldn't help but feel relieved and secretly rejoiced.

But in the end, his responsibility was greater than his fear. He knew that some situations could not be concealed, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable, so he bit the bullet and continued to report: "Section Chief, there is one more thing that I must report to you."

"What else?"

"Team leader Yoshioka usually carries a black briefcase with him. I saw it with my own eyes when he left this morning. But today at the scene, I searched carefully and never found this briefcase..."

briefcase?

Akashi Hideki's eyes tightened and his face became solemn. He looked at Masao Yoshioka's body and recalled it carefully in his mind. He recalled that Masao Yoshioka did often carry a black briefcase before, but it was just in a hurry.

, he was actually negligent and quickly asked: "What is in this briefcase?"

"I don't know." Yamada Otomo shook his head helplessly. As the head of intelligence, Yoshioka Masao, how could he let others know about the things that he could carry with him, even his assistant?

"I don't fully understand Team Leader Yoshioka's itinerary, and I don't dare to ask, but I just asked the nearby patrol police carefully.

At about 9:30 in the morning, they were still outside the gate and saw Asano and Akiyama who were responsible for guarding the place. In other words, before 9:30, they were still alive and the murderer did not launch an attack. Even Ji

Team Leader Oka should not have entered this residence yet, otherwise Akiyama and Asano should be waiting downstairs to obey orders at any time.

But this morning, Team Leader Yoshioka left the Special High School Course around eight o'clock, and there was a gap of one and a half hours. I don't know his schedule. Do you know?"

Yamada Otomo was also very attentive. When he discovered that the black briefcase was missing, he immediately conducted a detailed investigation and soon found the police patrolling nearby to learn about the situation.

But Hideki Akashi shook his head. He didn't know much about Masao Yoshioka's schedule today, because Masao Yoshioka had too much work in his hands and it was impossible to report everything to him, but he suddenly remembered something.

Just three days ago, Masao Yoshioka reported to him that a high-level official from the Political and Health Department had sent an invitation to Masao Yoshioka through a hidden channel and was willing to contact Masao Yoshioka privately, and had sent a special envoy to Taiyuan.

However, Masao Yoshioka does not know the specific identity of this senior agent and is preparing for further contact.

After receiving the report at that time, I specifically asked Masao Yoshioka to seize the time to contact him, so as to instigate this person and make active preparations for the upcoming secret negotiations between the two parties. Counting it all, it was Masao Yoshioka who carried out this plan in the past two days.

when planning.

Yes, that should be the case. Military agents have just assassinated Masao Yoshioka. At such a tense moment, Masao Yoshioka still has to dress simple and conceal himself from others. He must have an important task that he does not want others to know. It is very possible.

Just go and get in touch with the senior agent of the Political and Health Department.

After the meeting, Yoshioka Masao came to this house again and continued to meet Han Zhirong, but was assassinated by Viper and Viper ambushing here.

So what is in the lost briefcase? Is it possible that there is important information about this negotiation? How high are the stakes?

Akashi Yingshu frowned and walked back and forth in the room several times, feeling tangled in his heart.

Yamada Otomo watched from the sidelines, wondering if there was anything inappropriate in his inquiry, which caused his boss to act like this.

For a long time, Akashi Hideki looked at Yamada Otomo hesitantly, and finally decided that he still couldn't tell Yamada Otomo clearly.

You must know that the secret talks between the Japanese and the Jin army are related to the changes in the war situation and are of great concern. They are still in the top secret stage. Yamada Otomo is not qualified to be involved in this matter at his level.

"Yamada, I don't know Yoshioka-kun's schedule. All the answers need you to solve the mystery. I will also verify all the information as soon as possible to see what is in the briefcase.

Now, I order you to temporarily take over Yoshioka-kun's work. Your first task is to capture Viper and Viper and retrieve the briefcase. If you can do this, I will consider applying to the headquarters for you to officially take over as intelligence officer.

The position of team leader, do you understand what I mean?"

Yamada Otomo couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this. He had been looking forward to this promotion before, and even directly asked Yoshioka Masao to recommend him. He thought that once Yoshioka Masao died, he would have no hope, but he did not expect that the division chief would not blame him.

So he actually wanted to promote me, which was like a piece of pie falling from the sky.

At this time, he immediately stood up and took the order loudly: "Please rest assured, I will do my best and will never let you down!"

At this time, an intelligence officer quickly walked into the room and reported: "The patrol police have caught the beggar who caused trouble before, and he is downstairs."

"What beggar?" Akashi Hideki looked at Yamada Otomo.

Upon hearing this, Yamada Otomo quickly explained to Akashi Hideki: "When I asked the patrol police before, they provided a situation. At about 9:30 this morning, there was a beggar causing trouble at the gate, so they drove them away.

, they met Akiyama and Asano at that time, and I thought there was something wrong, so I asked them to search nearby, and they should have found someone and brought them here."

"Let's go take a look!"

The two of them went downstairs together and came to the hall on the first floor. Intelligence personnel from the Special Higher Education Department were surveying the scene. An intelligence officer was holding a camera and taking pictures of Hengshan's body because the carotid artery was punctured.

, a large amount of blood was lost, and the entire hall was filled with the pungent smell of blood.

Akashi Yingshu came to Hengshan's body, with a hint of sadness in his eyes. This was his bodyguard and confidant who had been with him for many years, but he had just left his side for a few days, and his body was found here. Even though Akashi Yingshu had a very deep city and a very deep mind.

Although I am determined, it is inevitable that I will be heartbroken and secretly sad at this time.

At this moment, two Japanese patrolmen brought a man in tattered clothes over, stood upright, and reported: "We sent people everywhere and finally found this guy. According to him, he was originally a beggar from the south of the city.

Someone gave him a sum of money and asked him to cause trouble at the gate of the house around 9:30."

Sure enough, it was premeditated! Yamada Otomo asked sharply: "Tell me clearly what happened, and what did the person who bribed you look like?"

The man was so frightened that his face was pale and his body was weak. If it weren't for the Japanese patrolmen holding him down, he would have collapsed to the ground.

At this time, Wen Ting asked, and quickly replied with a trembling voice: "Just...just last night, a...person found me, gave me fifty yuan, and asked me to come here around 9:30 this morning and pretend to be

A relative of the banker squeezed out some profit and water. He said he wanted to make the boss surnamed Zhuang disgusted, and the bigger the noise, the better..."

"Okay!" Yamada Otomo interrupted him with a wave of his hand. As soon as the beggar opened his mouth, he understood that this was a military agent who was using money to bribe the beggar, attracting attention at the gate and making noises in the east and west. "Can you tell me more specifically?

What are the characteristics of this person's appearance and body shape? Listen clearly, if you dare to talk nonsense and it is different from what we know, I will shoot you immediately!"

After saying that, he took out his pistol and put it directly on the man's head.

"No, no, I will answer truthfully and will never talk nonsense..."

The beggar was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly. It was not until Yamada Otomo withdrew his gun that he continued to narrate: "This man is probably in his early thirties, wearing a long robe, tall and thin, half a head taller than me, and his face is sallow, by the way.

,By the way...he has a pockmarked face!"

"Pockmarked face?"

Akatsuki Hideki and Yamada Otomo's eyes lit up. This clue was different from their previous conjectures. It was evidence that could be put into practice. It also had obvious characteristics, high recognition, and great intelligence value. It greatly reduced the scope and difficulty of screening.

.

Yamada Otomo then asked some questions carefully and asked someone to take the beggar down.

Yamada Otomo turned to Akashi Hideki and reported: "Section Chief, according to what this beggar said, the appearance of the person who bribed him is roughly consistent with my previous guess. He is thin, has slender limbs, and is tall, but he is a bit older.

, but there are many variables in this condition, so you don’t need to make a reference. Especially this person has a pockmarked face, which is very important. I judge that this person should be one of the two poisonous snakes."

Akashi Yingshu nodded slightly and said: "It should be correct. Their action plan was very well designed. They paid to bribe beggars, attract the attention of Asano and Akiyama at the gate, and took the opportunity to sneak into the house through the back door and ambush them.

Yoshioka-kun et al.

However, it can also be seen from this that Viper and Viper lack helpers. To engage in this method of making east attacks and attacking the west, they do not use their own people, but they have to hire a beggar to participate. This is a big flaw, and it also gives

We left important clues.

Yamada, you immediately organize personnel and police forces to search across the city again. Anyone who meets this condition will be arrested and identified by this beggar. Be sure to find these two poisonous snakes!"
Chapter completed!
