Zhou Tong Detective Series

Chapter 18 Zhou Tong Detective Series I: Death Tarot Cards (18)
Yan Yongjie nodded, that's all there is to it in the current situation.

After Zhou Tong waited for Yan Yongjie to leave, he returned to his room and took out a stack of materials about the [-]st Unit of the Japanese Army that he had sorted out.When Zhou Tong read these materials, it was as if a piece of stinky meat had been stuffed into his mouth. It was unspeakably disgusting and uncomfortable. The cruelty and bestiality of the Japanese army was simply heinous.In the data, there is a paragraph describing a detail of the human experiment conducted by the [-] Unit, which is written like this:

Under the guard of Japanese soldiers, a woman exposed her forearms and hands outdoors in a world of ice and snow. The Japanese soldiers poured water on them continuously and knocked off the frozen ice on her hands and arms.After a long time, the woman was pulled indoors and forced to put her hands, already stiff from the cold, into hot water.Then, in front of more than a dozen Japanese child soldiers, a Japanese military officer put his hand on the woman's arm and tore it down vigorously. All the skin and flesh on the woman's arm fell off, revealing her pale bones. ...

When Zhou Tong saw this passage, she seemed to be able to feel the great pain that the woman had experienced.

"This group of beasts!" Zhou Tong couldn't help cursing, and then turned the information to the part about Japanese military doctor Shiro Ishii, and started reading.

Shiro Ishii is a famous Japanese medical scientist and bacteriologist.When he was a graduate student at Tokyo Imperial University in [-], he specialized in pathology and bacteriology.In [-], he served as a military doctor at the Tokyo Military Hospital. Later, he was sent abroad for investigation and traveled around Europe.After returning to China, he tried his best to agitate for germ warfare, and became a fashionable figure in the military medical academy and the Japanese army's general staff.Shiro Ishii’s idea of ​​instigating the research of bacterial weapons was praised by Major General Nagata, the director of the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Japanese Army, and also supported by Osamu Suzuki, the head of the first section of the Strategy Department of the Japanese Army’s General Staff Headquarters. He was asked to personally lead the bacterial research established in China Place.

At the same time as the establishment of the Ishii Institute of Bacteria, the Japanese imperialists successively established several bacterial research departments and institutions serving bacterial research in central China, north China, south China and northeast China.

In 93, the Japanese Army Ministry and the Japanese General Staff Headquarters established two bacterial troops in Northeast China according to the order of the Emperor Hirohito of Japan. One was established in the Chinese village near Mengjiatun, five kilometers south of Changchun. Military Base No. 17 - "Kwantung Army Animal Infectious Disease Experimental Bureau" (also known as "Kwantung Army Veterinary Epidemic Prevention Research Institute", anonymous "Unit [-]"), the other is a bungalow [-] kilometers south of Harbin The NO.[-] military base established - "Kanto Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department" (or "Kwantung Army Water Supply and Disease Prevention Bureau", also known as "Dongxiang Force").If it is said that it was moved by the Beiyin River, it is better to say that it is the expansion of Ishii's troops.After the German fascists attacked the former Soviet Union in June [-].Renamed "The Seventh Thirty-One Kwantung Army".

"If the [-] Unit of the Japanese Invading Army is a group of brutal beasts and devils, then Ishii Shiro is even more ferocious than beasts and devils!" Zhou Tong angrily threw the materials to the ground.

Suddenly, a page slipped out from the information, which caught Zhou Tong's attention.

Zhou Tong picked it up from the ground, and there was a passage on it:

Ishii Shiro believes that Japan, which lacks resources, can only rely on bacterial warfare if it wants to win.Japan does not have enough metal ore deposits to manufacture weapons, so Japan must look for new weapons. The first characteristic of bacterial weapons is that they are powerful. Cannonballs made of steel can only kill a certain number of people around them. Bacterial warfare agents are contagious. Sex can be transmitted from person to person, and spread from rural areas to cities. Its lethality is not only far wider than artillery shells, but the mortality rate is very high.

"Bacteria, infection, rural areas..." Zhou Tong repeated these words to himself.

Li Ying let the tears flow from her eyes, leaning against the wall quietly, sitting on the floor of her room, holding a photo of her brother Li Wanren in her hand.Since she was a child, this elder brother has loved her in every possible way. In her heart, her elder brother is a kind and gentle person, how could he be so cruel.

"Xiaoying, you haven't eaten all day, come out!" Li Changfeng tried hard to show his father's majesty. He always thought that no one knew about himself and Hu Fangli. He even felt grateful for Hu Fangli's death, but now It wasn't until his son's death that he realized how confused he was.

"Get out! I don't want to see you again! Get out!" What Li Ying didn't want to see was her father, who would do such shameless things. Sister Xiaoli is her brother's lover!
Li Changfeng backed out with shame on his face.

"Why? Why is this happening? Tell me, tell me, brother..." Li Ying cried out with a burst of lungs.

But Li Wanren in the photo couldn't speak, his warm smile remained, and he looked at Li Ying with clear eyes.

"Liar! They are all liars!" Li Ying angrily tore the photo into pieces...

It was already late at night when Yan Yongjie came back with all the materials.But Zhou Tong didn't sleep, he was sitting alone in the living room waiting for Yan Yongjie.

"Where are my two colleagues?" Yan Yongjie asked.

"Oh, I told them to rest first. At this time, I don't think the other party will take the risk of killing me again. I'm afraid I'm not that valuable in their eyes." Zhou Tong said with a smile.

"At this time, you are still in the mood to joke!" Yan Yongjie couldn't help but knocked Zhou Tong on the head.

"This is the information you want!" Saying that, Yan Yongjie threw a large amount of information to Zhou Tong.

"It's really complete enough. It looks like it's going to be all night tonight." Zhou Tong stretched his waist and said with vigor.

"I won't accompany you, miss." Yan Yongjie yawned and walked to her room, but she still turned her head to look at Zhou Tong's back.

It was daylight, and the first ray of sunlight poured into the living room through the glass window. Zhou Tong opened his eyes vaguely, and found that he had fallen asleep lying on the table with a blanket covering his body.

"Are you awake?" Yan Yongjie was eating breakfast, and Gu Tiancheng also came, sitting opposite to Yan Yongjie, the two of them were drinking milk while chatting about the progress of the case.

"In the data, I found some unusual things!" Zhou Tong rubbed his eyes and said.

"I have also read these materials, but there is nothing suspicious." Yan Yongjie retorted casually.

Gu Tiancheng had long been curious about this boy named Zhou Tong, and couldn't figure out why the team leader would let a high school student participate in such a dangerous and complicated case, so when he heard Zhou Tong's words, he immediately put down his breakfast.

"If you can see, you don't need me." Zhou Tong said mockingly.

"Did you owe Bian early in the morning?" Yan Yongjie clenched her fists, looked at Gu Tiancheng at the side, and felt that she really lost face.Fortunately, Gu Tiancheng just smiled and didn't say anything.

Zhou Tong covered her mouth with her hands, signaling surrender.

"Okay, don't be poor, tell me if you find anything!" Yan Yongjie urged.

"Okay, no kidding, time is running out!" Zhou Tong said seriously and spread out the information in his hand, "I found out that the day before my father passed away, in the police dispatch record, he had visited a large chemical fertilizer factory. factory, and an explosion occurred in that fertilizer factory that night. What’s even more outrageous is that since then, the fertilizer factory has evaporated, and all the managers and workers disappeared overnight.”

"Do you suspect that this explosion accident is related to your father's death?" Gu Tiancheng asked.

Zhou Tong nodded, then took out a few pages of materials and handed them to Yan Yongjie and Gu Tiancheng, and then said: "Look at this material, it says that the largest chemical fertilizer factory under Qifeng Group will donate 100 million tons to the Ministry of Agriculture for free Fertilizer. The Qifeng Group, which the Japanese have just taken over a huge amount of debt, has made such a large-scale donation at all costs. It is really unusual. Based on my understanding of Ishii Shiro and the former Japanese Army [-] Unit, I have been in touch for ten years I have every reason to believe that there must be something wrong with the donated fertilizer."

"You mean the Japanese added the terrible things mentioned in Amiko's diary to the fertilizer?" Yan Yongjie couldn't help but realize that if everything was as Zhou Tong said, then the consequences would be quite serious.

"So I want you to take me to sneak into the fertilizer factory of Qifeng Group to have a look, maybe you will find something."

"But is this too dangerous?" Yan Yongjie worried about an accident.

"The inheritor of the ancient Chinese boxing method, wouldn't he be so timid?" Zhou Tong said excitedly.

"Don't do this to me! I don't trust you!" Yan Yongjie suddenly felt something was wrong when she said that, and her face immediately turned red, but she added: "Group Leader Sun has issued an order, and it is strictly forbidden to You participate in the investigation."

"Thank you, Sister Yongjie, for your concern, but I can only do this in order not to startle the snake. What's more, if things are really like what I said, the 100 million tons of problematic fertilizers are in the hands of farmers, and then enter our mouths through food, what will happen? I can't even imagine it!" Zhou Tong rolled his eyes after speaking.

"Well, what Zhou Tong said makes sense, but we should leave the rest of the work to the police, and we can't act hastily, everything needs to be considered in the long run!" Gu Tiancheng also admired Zhou Tong's ability to analyze and judge, but when he Seeing the way Yan Yongjie looked at Zhou Tong, somehow a trace of jealousy arose in her heart, and she secretly made up her mind to help Yan Yongjie solve the case and make her look at her differently.

"Yes, we will handle the matter of the case, you can go to school with peace of mind!" Yan Yongjie also agreed with Gu Tiancheng.

Zhou Tong knew that he couldn't beat these two people, so he had no choice but to shut up, but he was still thinking about how to persuade them.

Gu Tiancheng chatted with Yan Yongjie for a few more words, and then left. He was anxious to go to Qifeng Group's fertilizer factory first, investigate the case, and perform well in front of Yan Yongjie to win her heart.

However, Yan Yongjie decided to visit and test Jintian Motoichi first before going to secretly investigate the chemical fertilizer factory of Qifeng Group. After all, all the thoughts now are Zhou Tong's unilateral speculation, and he can also take a good look at the Jinling Club. What kind of character does he grow up to be.

On the other side, Li Ying was rummaging through Li Wanren's room. She had only one purpose, to find out who killed her brother.

Section 10 Jinling Club
Just at the critical moment, a person suddenly jumped out, holding a wooden stick in both hands, and knocked them unconscious.A gust of wind blew up the man's long hair, revealing a delicate and beautiful face. It was Li Wanren's younger sister, Li Ying!
Yan Yongjie waited until the afternoon before calling the headquarters of Jinling Club in China to meet with the president Motoichi Kaneda, hoping to learn about some cases from him.However, after some twists and turns, Jin Tian Motoichi's secretary told Yan Yongjie that the president was not in the company, but the president himself was willing to assist the police in the investigation, and asked Yan Yongjie to find him at a villa in the suburbs.After Yan Yongjie asked Motoichi Kaneda's address, he drove there without hesitation.

It wasn't too late when Yan Yongjie arrived at Jintian Motoichi's villa, but Jintian Motoichi's villa was on a hill, and the road leading to the mountain was only a narrow mountain road, and there was no way for a car to drive up.Yan Yongjie had no choice but to park the car at the foot of the mountain and walk up.On an already remote mountain road, except for the dim street lamps on both sides and Yan Yongjie's slanting shadow, no one came and went here.Yan Yongjie couldn't help feeling a little strange, how could the president of an international consortium choose such a remote place to live.

Going up the mountain road and passing through the woods, Yan Yongjie finally saw Jintian Motoichi's villa.In fact, this place is not so much a villa as it is more like a small castle, with high red tile walls, thick iron gates, and arched exits. The main building is surrounded by buildings on the east, west, and east sides.This small castle cannot be compared with the real castles in Europe in terms of scale, but the layout is specific and subtle. It is more distinctive because of its compactness.But standing in front of it, Yan Yongjie, who was always bold, actually had a strange feeling in her heart.But more so.The curiosity in Yan Yongjie's heart became more and more intense. Driven by this curiosity, she pressed her steps and walked carefully towards the iron gate of the castle.

Yan Yongjie patted the iron door hard, the dull knocking sound was particularly harsh in this secluded place, but no one responded to Yan Yongjie's knocking.Yan Yongjie yelled twice more, but still no one paid attention to her.Was it difficult for Jin Tianben to release her for a while and ask her to come, but he left again?Yan Yongjie couldn't help being a little annoyed, but she still took a deep breath, calmed down, and decided that no matter if there was anyone, she would go in and take a look, even if it was over the wall!

When Yan Yongjie was about to do this, the iron door was pushed halfway open with a "squeak", and an old man's head poked out.It was an extremely ugly head, under the sparse hair was a face full of acne, round eyes, a big nose, and a mouth that seemed to eat people, when Yan Yongjie suddenly saw these When I was there, I was taken aback.

"Are you Officer Yan?" asked the frightening old man.

After all, Yan Yongjie had received special training, and quickly returned to normal. She nodded to the old man's question, and then took out her police officer certificate.

"Come in, Mr. Jintian is waiting for you inside." The scary old man said while slowly pushing the iron mask away.

Yan Yongjie raised her leg and walked in without hesitation.

At the center of the castle is a tall, square building.In the hall on the first floor of this building, the roof is extremely high, and the room is wide and column-free. Jin Tian Motoichi is sitting at the innermost end of a long rectangular table in the middle of the hall, waiting for Yan Yongjie.

"Welcome!" When Jin Tian saw Yan Yongjie walking in, he stood up very politely and greeted her.

Yan Yongjie was also taken aback when she saw Motoichi Kaneda. She never thought that the president of an international consortium would be so young, and Motoichi Kaneda didn't look like a perverted lunatic from his gentle appearance.

"President Jintian, I'm here today to ask you something." Yan Yongjie said straight to the point.

"As long as I know, I will know everything and say everything!" Kanedamoto's fluent Chinese pronunciation makes it hard to believe that he is a Japanese.

"I am very glad that the president can cooperate with our police work so much."

"Officer Yan, please sit down and talk slowly!" Jin Tianmoto opened a chair for Yan Yongjie, then turned to the ugly old man and said, "Go get two cups of hot tea."

The old man took a look at Yan Yongjie, then turned and left, and went to the kitchen to pour tea.

"President Jintian, I believe you already know about the murder of Li Wanren, the general manager of Qifeng Group." Yan Yongjie said softly as she sat down gracefully.

"This is really the biggest loss for our consortium!" Motoichi Jintian looked sad.

"With regard to Li Wanren's death, besides what you just said, do you have any other opinions?" Yan Yongjie's eyes were burning as he spoke.

"I don't quite understand what Officer Yan means." Jin Tianben looked blank.

"Who do you think will kill him?" Yan Yongjie's question continued to approach.

"I just came to China not long ago, and I just took over Qifeng Group's affairs recently. I really don't know much about General Manager Li other than his impression of work." Jin Tianmoto said calmly and slowly.

"Since that's the case, I'm afraid I have nothing more to ask the president about this case." Yan Yongjie suddenly changed the subject and said, "The president's villa with a peculiar shape is really amazing. Do you know if the president can show me around?".

When Jin Tianben heard what she said, he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly said generously: "Officer Yan has such a good mood, of course you are welcome!"

As soon as Kanedamoto finished speaking, the old man walked in with a tea tray.
