Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

The person lying on the bed was Chen Shuyao. Although he had never seen Chen Shuyao in person during the Dragon Boat Festival, judging from the clothes on the bed and the floor, it was clear that the woman on the bed was her.

The only strange thing about Dragon Boat Festival is that Chen Shuyao was supposed to be meeting someone when he came to Xingtai Town, but why did he die in the inn?

Duanwu stepped forward to check Chen Shuyao's body and saw no obvious trauma.

However, Chen Shuyao's lips turned purple, showing signs of poisoning.

Moreover, there were no signs of struggle or fighting before death, so Duanwu initially judged that Chen Shuyao should have been poisoned to death without any precautions.

There were water glasses on the table, but there was only one. Moreover, the water glasses were placed neatly, and it didn’t look like someone had lost consciousness due to drinking water poisoning.

Therefore, Chen Shuyao's poisoning point must still be in her body.

Duanwu carefully inspected Chen Shuyao's body again, and finally found a tiny bleeding point on the back of her neck.

This bleeding point is very small and should be caused by an extremely small needle. And judging from Chen Shuyao's lack of resistance, this toxin paralyzed Chen Shuyao's nerves after entering her body, and quickly caused death.

Dragon Boat Festival thought about it and felt that it was most likely tetrodotoxin.

But what Duanwu didn't understand was why the person who was in contact with Chen Shuyao suddenly wanted to kill Chen Shuyao?

Judging from the scene, before killing Chen Shuyao, the other party did not get the blueprint of the city defense map, otherwise Chen Shuyao would not have been stripped into what he is now.

Was it because Chen Shuyao refused to hand over the city defense map that the other party killed him?

It is indeed possible. The contact person asked Chen Shuyao for the city defense map, and Chen Shuyao made a condition. As a result, the other party did not agree, and a dispute broke out between the two parties.

"No, there was no dispute between the two parties, because if there had been a dispute, the waiters at the inn and the tenants on the second floor of the inn would have heard it."

But when Duanwu asked when he came in, no one heard the quarrel. The waiter only added hot water to the room at Chen Shuyao's instruction.

In other words, the other party did not have a dispute with Chen Shuyao, and he did not get the city defense map before taking action. This doesn't make sense.

Duanwu felt that he must have missed something, and he wanted to go over things again.

If Chen Shuyao's robbery of Zhang Yu was just an accident, then she would have been hasty in contacting Dofeihara to support her.

Moreover, in many previous battles, Doihara did not have many people available near the mountain city. Not to mention taking Chen Shuyao away from the mountain city.

And since she couldn't be taken away, the only option was to make her disappear and let another person take away the city defense map.

This person has never shown his face, and no one knows who he is, so it is very easy to do things.

Duanwu thought to himself: This little devil has really made a good plan. In this case, who can find out who took the city defense map?

Nothing could be found from the waiter and the tenant. The waiter only said that he just brought a pot of boiling water. The tenants said they knew nothing and heard no fighting.

Things seemed to have reached a deadlock all of a sudden. Chen Shuyao died mysteriously in the inn, and the city defense map on his body disappeared. Duanwu looked at the open rear window and looked out, but there was no trace of anyone. Obviously starting from this window is futile.

But at this moment, Duanwu thought of another thing. Chen Shuyao came to Youke Lai Inn to meet. He must have contacted Dofeiyuan before leaving the city. Otherwise, why did Chen Shuyao come to the inn directly?

In other words, if the guest inn was originally the spy's nest, then Dofeihara had already decided to kill Chen Shuyao last night.

Of course, it is impossible to kill people in one's own intelligence station. Doesn't that tell everyone that this is our Japanese intelligence station?

So the person who committed the murder should have had one night to one morning to plan this matter.

Previously, Duanwu believed that the inn's waiter was just here to deliver water, and the guests did not hear the sound of fighting. Someone sneaked in quietly, killed Chen Shuyao and then left.

But the other party actually planned this one night, so it is very likely that he would also pretend to be a guest and sneak into the inn to wait for Chen Shuyao to arrive today, and then take the opportunity to kill her and seize the city defense map.

Thinking of this, Duanwu said: "If there is a human life case, immediately seal off the inn when guests come, and do not allow anyone to enter or leave. Let everyone go back to their rooms."

"Yes!"

After the Dragon Boat Festival gave the order, the guards took the order and sealed off the entire inn in just a few minutes. At this moment, the local patrol police arrived. They also came over after hearing about the people's case, but when they came, someone had already blocked the inn.

When the patrol officer saw the other party's equipment and clothing, he definitely had the courage to go up and ask. The guards told them that they were from the First Theater Command and were being ordered to capture Japanese spies. And since these patrol officers are here, they shouldn't leave and just obey their director's orders.

At this time, Duanwu was interrogating the owner and waiters of the inn. First, Dragon Boat Festival wanted to see if there was anything suspicious about them. After all, after Chen Shuyao entered the city, he came directly to their inn. Maybe there were Japanese spies among these people.

The Japs are all-pervasive. Before many people were discovered to be spies, they were no different from normal people. Even after the incident, some people were suspicious, how could the other party be a spy?

Therefore, no matter how ordinary the other person is, Dragon Boat Festival will not let them go easily. He must ask carefully and observe each of their expressions.

And especially the owner of the inn and the guy who received Chen Shuyao and found the body. After all, if he wanted to kill Chen Shuyao, he had the best chance.

But after some interrogation, the boss and the guy were temporarily excluded from the Dragon Boat Festival. This boss is an original resident of Xingtai Town, and the inn has been passed down from ancestors. I don’t have any bad habits, and I don’t have any children studying abroad. Although he is greedy for money, he is not willing to betray his ancestors just for a little money.

And that guy is also a local, his family lives in the west of the city, and he is also an old employee of Ke Lai Inn. Apart from being timid, he is also quick at work and has worked at Youke Lai Inn for nearly twenty years.

The other guys are all locals from Xingtai Town. The boss said he knew all these people very well. Nowadays, the war is in chaos, and he dare not hire people who don't know their roots.

As for the guests in the inn, there are only 13, and the guest in room 24 stayed last night.

Room 13 is occupied by a young couple, and their family is also local to Xingtai Town. It must be inconvenient to live out at home.

There is a woman in room 24, who came in last night and left this morning. So Room 24 should be vacant now, and no one is staying!
