No trace of espionage

Chapter 612 Carjacking Scene
The two pairs of shoes have not been moved, and the clogs are still there, indicating that the possibility of the couple being kidnapped is the greatest.

Moreover, it was taken away after sleeping.

"Could it be that someone walked in while the couple were doing business?" Fairy Shi Gong looked at the messy thin quilt and thought to herself.

She walked over and took a look at the thin quilt, but she didn't see any stains.

"Maybe I'm thinking too much."

Fairy Shigong went to the back window and looked at it. Seeing that the window was wide open, she poked her head out and saw that there was a pile of weeds downstairs.

"Go and see, are there any footprints?" she ordered.

The follower agreed and ran downstairs quickly.

"Reporting to the Major, I checked downstairs and inside and outside the courtyard wall, but I didn't see any footprints."

Soon, his agents came in to report.

"No footprints? Am I wrong in my judgment? These two were not kidnapped, but walked by themselves? Then why don't they wear shoes?" Fairy Shi Gong was puzzled.

She rationalized her thoughts and quickly came to two conclusions.

First, regardless of whether Matsuoka Yosuke is dead or alive now, it must be related to the robbery of the military column;

Second, finding out where Matsuoka Yosuke is now should be the key to solving the case.

After thinking about these two points, Fairy Shi Gong immediately ordered: "Immediately notify the Gendarmerie Headquarters and the No. 67 Secret Service Department to assist in the search for Yosuke Matsuoka. If you are alive, you must see a person, and if you die, you must see a corpse."

After seven hours, Koji Baba finally arrived at the military column incident site.

Post-war roads are full of potholes.Although some large pits have been filled with soil, they are still not so flat.

The road was bumpy, more than 200 kilometers were traveled, and the weather was hot and sweaty. Koji Baba felt that the two balls were not only blistered, but also seemed to be stuck together.

Before the car reached Wugang Village, the Japanese army had already blocked the entire area around the railway.

Koji Baba showed his ID, and after passing three checkpoints, he saw four carriages parked quietly on the railway.

"Did the enemy hijack these four carriages?"

Just as he was wondering, he saw a senior officer and another minor officer with a mournful face approaching him from a distance. The horse farmer didn't bother to pull his crotch, and hurriedly got out of the car and stood at attention to salute.

"Master Bachang, my name is Hayakawa Qiankichi, the deputy chief of staff of the Nanjing Garrison Command, in charge of intelligence work. This is Major Oneizi, the No. 14 military escort officer." After saluting, the chief introduced himself, and then introduced The major who looked like a dead parent.

"Master Hayakawa, please show me the scene first." Koji Baba ignored Ouchi and said to Hayakawa Chikichi.

"Please!" Chikichi Hayakawa admired Koji Baba's swift and resolute approach very much, and without any nonsense, she stretched out her hand and walked forward first.

Koji Baba limped along behind, took advantage of people not paying attention, and secretly pulled his crotch, feeling that it was pulled apart, although it still hurts, but after all, walking is not awkward.

From the outside, the four carriages look like ordinary train carriages, except that all the windows are covered by curtains.

If it hadn't been for an accident, no one would have thought that such an ordinary train would be loaded with ammunition.

There were no traces of firefights at the scene, but the surroundings of the four carriages were covered with dense footprints, horseshoe prints, donkey (or mule) hoof prints, and various ruts.

The ruts are relatively thin, either a plank or a cart, but it is definitely not a motor vehicle.

Seeing this, Baba Koji understood why Commander Hata Junliu asked the Secret Service to participate in the investigation of the case.

This is not an armed carjacking, but someone got into the car first, and unhooked the hooks between the rear four carriages and the main car, so that these four carriages would naturally detach from the main car.

However, isn't the military column protected by soldiers?The telegram said that all the soldiers protecting the military column were broken into pieces. How did they break up?
Soon, Chikichi Hayakawa revealed the answer to Koji Baba.

"Master Baba, among the four carriages, the last carriage is filled with soldiers who are responsible for protecting the military column. There is a small team. And now, they are all broken and have done their loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor."

Hayakawa Qiankichi walked into the last carriage while introducing, and opened the door: "Master Baba, for the convenience of solving the case, I didn't let anyone touch the corpse inside, please look."

Koji Baba entered the car door and found that the fifty soldiers who died looked very peaceful, as if they had died in their sleep, without pain or panic.

Looking at the wall of the compartment, no bullet holes were found.

In other words, there was no battle before the soldier died.

"Poisoned?"

Baba Koji quickly made a judgment in his mind.

He leaned down and carefully observed a corpse near the door. He saw that the skin on the face of the deceased was a little blue, and when he looked closely, it was a little black with blue.

This is an obvious symptom of poisoning.

When he went to look at the eyelids of the deceased, Hayakawa Qiankichi said: "Don't look at it, I have had the forensic doctor examine it, and all of them died of poisoning, but the specific poison is not clear, and potassium cyanide has been ruled out."

Koji Baba was shocked: "Looking at the way the soldiers died, it was either food poisoning or air poisoning. To be able to make such a big move on a heavily guarded military column, the opponent is very powerful."

The three walked to the north of the four carriages, Hayakawa Qiankichi pointed to the hooks in front of the carriages and said, "Master Baba, please look, the hooks were removed, and then the four carriages were separated from the main car."

Koji Baba looked at the hook and found that the lock pin was gone. He hurriedly walked between the third and fourth carriages and looked at the setting of the hook.

It was found that the hook between the two cars uses an iron rod thicker than the thumb as a pin, and there is a thin hole at the bottom of the pin, and a section of steel wire runs through it.

He used his hands to pull out the steel wire, although it was finally pulled out, but it was also very laborious.

"While the train is moving, it's not easy to remove the hook, is it?" Koji Baba asked with a frown.

"According to the train captain, as long as the steel wires underneath are taken out, the pins can be easily pulled out due to the continuous collisions between the front and rear carriages during the train's movement." Da Neizi replied.

Baba Koji stood up and asked Da Neizi: "How much ammunition are these three carriages loaded in total?"

"There are no heavy weapons in these three carriages, only 23 rifles, [-] light machine guns, [-] mortars, [-] rounds of ammunition, and [-] mortar shells."

"How many carriages are there in Army Train No. 14?"

"There are eighteen verses in total."

"How many people escorted the car?"

"In addition to the fifty people in this carriage, there are fifty more in front, and there are two teams in total."

"How do you communicate with each other?"

"Telephone contact. However, the telephone line was cut before the accident."

"When did you find out that there are four cars missing from the back?"

"We set a rule to contact once an hour. Originally, the carriages after three o'clock should call to report the situation. I didn't wait for the call, so I took the initiative to make a call. Only then did I find that the phone was not connected. I immediately sent someone to check, only to find that four carriages were missing. At this time, the train is almost arriving in Nanjing..."
