Chapter 261 Corpse
Zuo Zhong walked into the room, and a small agent pointed to the bed: "Chief, the body is on the bed, we haven't moved it, there is blood on the ground and the bed."

Needless to say to the spies, Zuo Zhong also smelled a strong smell of blood, which seemed to be mixed with a faint smell of perfume. Has a woman lived in this room?

Then look at the rose-red curtains and the empty purse on the ground. Is this what Zhu Jisheng is protecting like a baby?But even Lord Rabbit would not use such a coquettish color.

Zuo Chong thought about walking to the bed, frowned at the scene in front of him, and lay on the bed in a prone position, with his upper body and head naturally hanging down from the bed.

There was a puddle of bleeding directly under the head, which was caused by unknown reasons. The blood had completely coagulated, and it seemed that at least 10 minutes had passed since the bleeding.

After human blood is separated from the body, it will be affected by room temperature, and it will coagulate within 10 minutes at the slowest. This is a simple forensic common sense.

In addition to the blood, there was a bitten big green jujube under the bed, the damaged surface had been oxidized, and there were still many in the fruit plate on the desk.

At this time Wu Chunyang came in and handed Zuo Zhong a set of protective equipment: "Section Chief, according to Dr. Ling's request, we must wear them when entering and leaving the scene."

"Well, you take a picture."

Zuo Zhong said while putting on the mask, gloves, hat, shoe covers and white coat. Although they were made of linen, they were considered professional.

Wu Chunyang asked the others to leave first, also wearing protective equipment, holding the camera himself, and shooting various scenes in the house from various angles.

The focus was on the one lying on the bed. He took dozens of photos in a row until he confirmed that he had recorded all the original poses of the other party, and nodded to the left.

Zuo Zhong approached the bed, touched the other party's neck, and confirmed that there was no pulse. The cold touch and stiff body indicated that the other party was indeed dead.

And he had been dead for at least an hour, otherwise the coldness and stiffness of the corpse would not be so obvious. He grabbed the corpse's shoulders with both hands and pulled back hard.

The corpse was lying on the bed in a strange posture. Zhu Jisheng, the second lieutenant officer of the 88th Division, had his eyes wide open, his mouth slightly open, and his eyes were dull.

"md, scare me."

Zuo Zhong frowned. Zhu Jisheng, the suspected spy, died a terrible death, with bleeding marks on his eyes, nose and mouth.

The stiffness of the whole body pushed his death time forward by four hours, because rigor usually appeared 1-3 hours after death, spread throughout the body in 4-6 hours, and reached its peak in 12-16 hours.

In other words, Zhu Jisheng died before three o'clock in the afternoon. The cause of death is unknown, but Zuo Zhong made a guess by looking at the half-eaten green dates on the ground.

After Zhu Jisheng arrived here from the military camp, he probably fell asleep directly, and when he woke up, he was so thirsty that he picked up the big green dates from the fruit plate.

With just one bite, this sweet fruit killed him, and he couldn't even call for help. Of course, this was just Zuo Zhong's guess.

He put half a green jujube under the bed and the green jujube on the table into the bag. The identification of the poison must go to the laboratory, and it is a novel to rely on animal testing.

For example, if a dog eats bitter lentils, it will react in a few minutes and die in less than half an hour, but people will not be fatal if they eat this kind of thing.

Wu Chunyang approached the corpse, and carefully photographed the expression on the other's face, the clothes on his body, and the blood on the nose and mouth one by one to keep the evidence.

"Shoot these places clearly."

Zuo Zhong pointed to the conspicuous bright red spots on the surface of the corpse, the cherry red auricles and earlobes, and the cyanotic color on the face and lips.

The police academy taught some simple forensic science, and Yu Xingle in the special training class also shared with him the identification methods of various causes of death. These are the characteristics of standard cyanide poisoning.

However, he did not jump to conclusions. Preconceived ideas are the most taboo in intelligence work. Appearances can't explain anything. Professional matters are left to professional people. It is Ling Sanping's job to confirm the cause of death.

"Crack, click."

Wu Chunyang held the camera steadily and took pictures as required.

Zuo Zhong stretched out his hand to search down from the opponent's collar a little bit, and stopped when he touched the chest pocket of the shirt, there was something inside.

He unbuttoned it and took out a booklet from his pocket. It was Zhu Jisheng's military officer's certificate, which recorded general personal information, military rank, unit and position, and achievements.

Zuo Zhong looked carefully, and found that the content was consistent with the information they collected, so he was about to put it down, but when he pinched the cover, it seemed to be slightly raised, and there seemed to be something caught in the middle.

He regained his energy and touched it again, and there was indeed a raised feeling, so he rubbed the corner of the bottom page. The thick back cover leaked the interlayer. He gently tore it open and saw that it was a few slender objects.

Zuo Zhong carefully identified these slender objects under the light. They were hair, women's long hair. He didn't realize that Zhu Jisheng was still a lover, so he even started exchanging tokens.

The ancient Chinese paid attention to the body, hair, skin and parents, so exchanging hair is a very prudent act, which represents loyalty. There is also a hair tie ceremony at weddings, which is how it came about.

But after looking at it, Zuo Zhong felt that something was wrong. These hairs seemed to fall off naturally, and there were hair follicles at the root, with different lengths. Maybe it was hidden by Zhu Jisheng secretly, and the other party didn't know.

And hiding it so secretly, it should be because they are afraid that the other party will find out. The relationship between Zhu Jisheng and the other party is a bit complicated, and the relationship is very secret. At least their early intelligence collection did not find this matter.

So who is this woman?

There are women in the barracks, very few, who are engaged in translation, secretarial and other jobs. They belong to the commander's close people. The target is only a second lieutenant and deputy company commander who wants to pursue them, I am afraid that they are not qualified.

Of course, if Zhu Jisheng was on the same level as Ling Sanping, it would be a different story. Let alone a second lieutenant, even if he was a big soldier, these female officers would rush on him.

More importantly, according to the military regulations, women in the military camp are only allowed to have short hair, and the few hairs in front of him are long hair, which means that the woman who has made a personal appointment with the target for life is he met outside the military camp.

Zuo Zhong grabbed both ends of the hair and tugged it a little harder. It didn't break and was very tenacious. It looked oily on the outside and smooth to the touch. Its owner should be a well-nourished young woman.

Youth is a very broad concept, but it can still be roughly defined. In this era, there are very few single women over the age of 25. Being able to date Zhu Jisheng means that the other party is an adult.

So 18 to 25 makes sense.

Zuo Zhong put his hair into a small cloth bag, continued to grope, and found a wallet and a bunch of keys in his pants pocket. There were some banknotes in the wallet, but there were no other items.

He took out the money and counted it, almost two hundred yuan more, which was the second lieutenant's military salary for several months, and the other party just put it in his wallet carelessly.

Zhu Jisheng must have other sources of income, otherwise he would not be able to afford such a house, let alone carry so much cash with him, which does not match his income and background.

Zuo Zhong put the things into the cloth bags and groped around the corpse. When he got under the pillow, his expression changed, and there were indeed things.

He slowly took out the things, it was a Browning 1900, which was regarded as an antique in the Republic of China, and now Browning 1910 is used for both black and white, with smaller recoil and more accurate.

But this is the same type of gun used by the Japanese at the ambush scene, and more importantly, the aim is gone. It seems that the boss of Hei Liu is probably Zhu Jisheng. There is no such coincidence in the world.

No wonder they are so bold in selling tattered weapons with steel seals, with a vicious look, buying this yard, buying colleagues in the army, and staying and flying with young women, it doesn't cost money.

Zuo Zhong pulled the sleeve, and the bullet fell onto the bed. Gun dealers always behave like this, sleeping with a loaded weapon on their pillow, and they are not afraid of going off.

Wu Chunyang took a few close-ups of the pistol and bullets. With these evidences, the Secret Service has sufficient reason to investigate Zhu Jisheng. No matter how protective the 88th Division is, they have to bow their heads in the face of the evidence.

Except for the corpse and the bed, all other items in the house were checked, but there were only some men's items, what about the mysterious woman's items?
Zuo Zhong was puzzled, could it be that Zhu Jisheng and the other party only met once in a while, that woman does not live here, this needs to be investigated clearly.

Zuo Zhong and Wu Chunyang surveyed the scene, some of the other spies began to thoroughly search the yard, and some of them questioned the neighbors nearby.

The search work first made progress. A small spy found traces of excavation and burial in the backyard, and found Zuo Zhong without daring to destroy the scene.

Zuo Zhong, who was about to take off his protective equipment, rushed to the backyard after hearing the news, and looked at the overturned soil with a pensive expression. Could it be another corpse?
He immediately ordered: "Dig!"

The agents dug with shovels, but only [-] centimeters were dug, and a pale hand was exposed. This was just the beginning. As the excavation deepened, four bodies were found.

The corpses were all adult males. The cause of death was being shot in the body and head by a gun. The person buried deepest was the long-lost gun dealer Hei Liu, whose body was slightly decomposed.

Looking at the corpses lined up, Zuo Zhong understood that the enemy this time was a cautious person, but also very cruel. He could kill five people including Zhu Jisheng without hesitation in order to silence them.

He squatted down and poked the wound on Hei Liu's chest with tweezers. The wound was large, and there were radial burn marks on the clothes around the wound, which should have been caused by a pistol shot at close range.

Hei Liu was shot at such a vital part again at such a short distance, he probably died on the spot, he turned his head to the side, a swelling suddenly appeared on the back of his head, Zuo Zhong thought deeply.

Hei Liu was the first to be killed by the opponent, perhaps taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he suddenly drew his gun against his chest and shot quickly, and then killed three of Hei Liu's subordinates in a very short time.

In order to confirm the conjecture, Zuo Zhong asked his staff to find a few chopsticks from the kitchen and insert them into the wound of the corpse to confirm the angle of the bullet. Wu Chunyang also came out to help after finishing the work in the house.

Soon, the three corpses other than Hei Liu finished recording.

Corpse A was shot in the lower right abdomen, and the bullet flew out vertically from the waist behind him. The shot directly interrupted the main artery near the spine, causing massive bleeding and paralysis. A died on the spot.

Corpse B was shot in the heart. The bullet shot into the chest cavity from bottom to top, and finally caused a huge wound on the back and flew out. The organs were clearly visible. This kind of injury was also fatal.

Corpse C was shot between the eyes. The bullet also entered the body from the bottom up and shot out from the back of the head. The person's eyes were still open, and it seemed that he was killed without any reaction.

They are all fatal injuries, and they are all shot at close range, otherwise the bullets would not pass through the human body so easily. After all, most bullets are not designed to penetrate, but to cause greater damage.

Zuo Zhong crossed his arms, closed his eyes and thought about something, a few minutes later, he opened his eyes and looked at the corpse on the ground, and beckoned to Wu Chunyang and three little spies to make some arrangements.

"Chunyang, you stand in front of me, that one stands on our right, and the other two stand behind me and Chief Wu respectively, don't move now, whoever I point my finger at will fall down."

Everyone was confused, but they still stood up according to his request, and Zuo Zhong walked up to Wu Chunyang: "Chunyang, you will fall down later, don't make unnecessary movements, as if you were really shot."

Wu Chunyang nodded and was about to answer, but at this moment Zuo Zhong suddenly stretched out his finger to his chest, Wu Chunyang reacted quickly, and fell straight back on the ground, almost hitting the ground with the back of his head.

At the same time, Zuo Zhong's hand was already aimed at the lower abdomen of the spy on the right side of the two;
Without waiting for the other party to react, he immediately pointed to the heart of the spy behind Wu Chunyang;
In the end, he made a tactical roll, turned around and aimed at the head of the spy behind him.

These actions were done in one go, and within a few seconds everyone fell down, and the injured parts were the same as those of the four corpses. At this time, the secret agents understood that the section chief was restoring the scene of the crime.

After Zuo Zhong finished these, he stood up straight again, and said word by word: "A master of action!"

　The female soldiers in the Guo party army first originated during the Northern Expedition. In the winter of 1926, the WH branch of the Whampoa Military Academy recruited female soldiers for the first time, setting a precedent for the establishment of female soldiers in the Chinese army. The school recruited 213 female soldiers.By the time of the war, it was common for women to join the army.
