Xu Chengyan and Ji Yun left Juwen Library, and Ji Yun couldn't help but look at Xu Chengyan with some surprise.

"What do you think of me?" Xu Chengyan glanced at him.

"I'm just a little strange. Usually I always stand up and argue with Lao Ding. You don't say anything easily. What's going on today? I'm a little bit of a big reaction!"

Although Ji Yun is straightforward, it does not mean that he has no brains. On the contrary, he is quick-responsive, smart, and unconventional in his work, and often makes amazing moves.

Besides, he and Xu Chengyan knew each other very well and knew his nature and habits. Today, the conflict between Xu Chengyan and Ding Mingrui was too deliberate.

"You're still smart!"

Xu Chengyan knew that he could not hide it from his companions. He smiled slightly and nodded and said, "Today I was indeed intentional to stimulate Lao Ding. In fact, from Lao Ding's standpoint, he did nothing wrong. He was engaged in the agent industry, especially lurking behind enemy lines, like walking a tightrope on a cliff, trembling, as if he was in the abyss, and he could not make a mistake. We also understand this principle.

Lao Ding is an old agent who has smoothed his edges after storms. He doesn't care about promotion or future. He only cares about illness and disaster and safety, so he doesn't strive for merit, does not advance, and does not want to bear any risks. This is understandable.

But...he is blocking our way!

If we don’t fight or rob, when will we brothers stand out?

This time I want to force him to show off, let him sue us, and let the teacher make a judgment. Anyway, we have made no mistakes, and there is no mistake or a handle in his hands. I am not afraid of him going to gossip, and I will show my attitude as soon as possible to leave him alone so that he can drag us down."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yun nodded heavily. Although he left the army this time and was transferred to work behind enemy lines, they suffered a lot of setbacks.

But the two have the ability and ambitions, so how can they be willing to be an intelligence officer at the bottom? They are both passionate and passionate at the age of passion. Who doesn’t want to kill the enemy and serve the country and strive to be the best?

"That's how it should be," Ji Yun took a deep breath and said ruthlessly, "With our ability, we can make a situation wherever we go, why bother with this old guy's aura!"

Several Japanese officers are investigating the scene in the bedroom room of Kazuya Harada's house in the New People's Association.

The officer in the head was in his early forties. Although his appearance was ordinary, his eyes were sharp and his temperament was calm. His eyebrows were full of shrewd and powerful. This person was Masao Yoshioka, the head of the Japanese intelligence team in Taiyuan.

"The cause of Harada's death was that he was lying flat on the bed, and was severely crushed from left to right, and his neck bone was broken. There was no trace of struggle in his body. It should have been attacked in his sleep and killed on the spot. The murderer did it neatly."

"All items in the house have not been moved, including the gold watch placed on the bedside table and the cash in the drawer below."

"In addition to consultant Harada, there are two servants, a driver and two bodyguards in this residence. We have asked them separately. Last night, they were all resting in their room and did not hear any sounds, so it is impossible to determine the specific time of consultant Harada's death, which requires a later inspection."

………

Several intelligence officers under him reported some of the situations he had investigated.

Yoshioka Masao said nothing, listened quietly to his subordinates' reports, and thought quickly in his mind.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a casual suit walked into the bedroom from the balcony. This person was Mavid, the head of the Investigation Section of the New People's Association.

Because Harada Kazuya is also a senior consultant to the Shinmin Association, after the incident, Mavid led the team to come here immediately.

The Investigation Section is the only department responsible for intelligence investigation in the Xinmin Association. The members are consultants of the Special High School agents and Chinese agents trained by Japanese. Because the Xinmin Association is an external organization of the Special High School, they are also directly led by the intelligence team leader Masao Yoshioka.

He stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Yoshioka Masao and reported: "Team leader, we found some special traces on the balcony railings, which coincided with the traces found in the case of Dai Wenshan we investigated before..."

"Where is it?" Yoshioka Masao's eyes froze upon hearing this.

Mavid quickly turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation, leading Yoshioka Masao to the balcony, pointing to a trace on a railing.

The railing is made of solid wood, and three vertical marks are clearly printed on it. Yoshioka Masao checked it, then took off his gloves, touched it gently with his fingers, and ordered: "Take a photo!"

An intelligence officer next to him came forward and took a picture with his camera.

"You are right. This is indeed the same traces as the ones that appeared in the murder of Dai Wenshan. The murderer is likely to be the same person."

Dai Wenshan is the head of the Criminal Investigation Section of the Taiyuan Police Bureau. He was strangled to death at home late one night ten days ago. These three vertical claw marks were also found at the scene.

Mavid said on the side, "I have asked some people these days, and some people have recognized the origin of this claw mark."

"Oh! What's the origin?"

"This is a kind of zip line, with a name called 'Flying Tiger Claw'. There are three steel claws at the top of the rope, which are sharp and flexible, and can easily catch various objects. After using it, you can easily get rid of them with special techniques. It is a powerful tool used by people in the martial arts world to walk through empty doors and fly over the eaves and walls."

Mavid has many people under his command, who are very familiar with this kind of tool. In just a few days, he found out some valuable things.

"Flying Tiger Claw?"

Masao Yoshioka was very curious about this and then asked: "Are there many people using this tool?"

"It shouldn't be many. Flying Tiger Claws first appeared in Tianjin. Later, some people used this kind of zip in Peking. Later, they were introduced to Shanxi. They also appeared in Taiyuan a few years ago. They were basically used by people from all over the place. They committed theft cases, but there has never been any killing of the victims. It has disappeared in recent years. And according to my people, because of the unique structure of the steel claws, it is difficult to imitate the flying Tiger Claws. Unexpectedly, they appear here again."

Yoshioka Masao thought for a while and analyzed: "After entering the compound, the murderer did not enter the residence through the gate. He probably did not want to disturb the servants and bodyguards who were resting on the first and second floors, so he directly used a zipline to board the railing, climbed up to the balcony on the third floor, and then entered the bedroom through the balcony, killing consultant Harada.

After the crime, the property he was in hand was not taken away, which shows that his purpose was very clear, which was to assassinate Harada Consultant.

The gold watch placed on the bedside table was not taken away because it could not be sold if it was taken away. Because such valuable items were too conspicuous, once they appeared, we might find him through the stolen goods.

Staying around will increase the risk of exposure, and he will not put himself in danger for this little benefit.

He did not take away the cash in the drawer because he refused to waste time looking for property. He left with one blow and refused to stay for a moment.

You should know that this is just a matter of being a good person. It doesn't take much time, but he refuses to take any risks. This is not something that ordinary people can do. This shows that the murderer is very self-disciplined and calm and decisive in dealing with things."

Upon hearing this, Mavid nodded and replied, "It is true. I didn't find any loss of property at Dai Wenshan's home before. The murderer's style is the same."

"It seems that we have encountered a difficult opponent!" Yoshioka Masao breathed lightly.

At this time, Yoshioka Masao's assistant and intelligence officer Yamada Otomo also went upstairs to report to Hui: "Team leader, we found two pairs of clearer shoe prints near the courtyard wall. They should be left behind by the murderer when he climbed over the wall and landed on the ground."

"Two pairs? Are the murderers two?" Yoshioka Masao was stunned when he heard this, "Go and take a look!"

The group went downstairs and came to the vicinity of the courtyard wall. An intelligence officer was taking pictures of the shoe prints left by the murderer. When he saw Masao Yoshioka coming, he quickly let him beside him.

Yoshioka Masao bent down and looked carefully, and measured the size of the shoe print with his hand. After thinking for a while, he stood up, shook his head and said, "This is a cloth-soled shoe. There are many shoes on the market. The shoes are relatively large. The figures of these two people should be higher than ordinary people, but it is difficult to confirm their identities through this point. The only information that can be provided to us is that the murderer who sneaked in should be two people."

When everyone heard this, they were a little helpless. Based on this clue in front of them, it is very unlikely to find the murderer.

At this time, Masao Yoshioka suddenly turned to look at his assistant Yamada Otomo and asked: "Plus with Dai Wenshan's case, this should be the fourth assassination case in this month, right?"

Yamada Otomo recalled a little, nodded and replied: "You are right. Excluding ordinary murders, the case against government personnel and Japanese expatriates should be the fourth, but the people who were assassinated before were all Chinese. Unexpectedly, this time, Harada Consultant was also killed."

This made Masao Yoshioka frown even tighter.

The first case was a month ago. When the security corps commander Lu Dayong was watching a show in the theater, he was covered in his mouth and nose and stabbed twice in the back, hitting the key point. Lu Dayong was killed on the spot because the light at the theater was dark and the audience was not discovered until the movie ended.

The second case was on the third day after Lu Dayong was killed. Cai Wu, the deputy captain of the Public Security Coast Team, was stabbed to death in the alley near the doorstep of his home when he returned home. It was only after dawn that he was discovered.

Because both of the dead were Chinese, the identity of the deceased was not enough to alarm the Japanese Special High School, they were handed over to the Criminal Investigation Section of the Police Department for investigation.

But a few days later, Dai Wenshan, the chief of the Criminal Investigation Section, who was responsible for these two cases, was strangled to death at home. The police station felt something was wrong and immediately reported to the Special High School. The case was transferred to the Special High School. However, because Masao Yoshioka was dealing with an important matter at the time, he just hurriedly checked the file and handed it over to his assistant Yamada Otomo.

"Is there any connection between these three cases?" Yoshioka Masao continued.

"have!"

Yamada Otomo replied: "I found that these three people were related to the fact that we cracked the Military Commission Suiyuan Intelligence Station and the Taiyuan Intelligence Station more than two months ago.

At that time, the security forces were responsible for the personnel from Suiyuan, and the commanding officer was Lu Dayong.

Later, when the Taiyuan Station personnel were searched for Taiyuan Station in the whole city, the police station and plainclothes team participated in the operation. Dai Wenshan and Cai Wu also arrested several escaped military commander Taiyuan Station agents on the street.

Based on these situations, I think this is the military agents carrying out retaliation operations, and the assassination targets are all personnel who have participated in the capture of military agents."

As soon as this said, Yoshioka Masao nodded slightly. It was indeed the case. In fact, when Yoshioka Masao received the news that Harada Kazuya was also assassinated, he felt that this was related to several previous murders.

After arriving at the scene, based on the clues collected, Kazuya Harada and Dai Wenshan were linked together, and immediately understood that someone was assassinating the designated target with a purpose and planned purpose.

The previous operation to crack down on the Military Control Commission was a major success, and the military control agents suffered almost all losses. He was optimistic that the Military Control Commission would take at least three or four months or even six months to recover.

But unexpectedly, the other party's style was so strong that the blood on his body pounced on him before he could dry it. It seemed that a new contest had quietly begun.

"It seems that the Military Control Commission has begun a retaliation plan, but we are slow to react and have ignored this before." Yoshioka Masao said with some annoyance.

At this time, Mavid asked in confusion: "As far as I know, it seems that Consultant Harada does not have participated in the previous operations against the Military Intelligence Agency agents, so why was he killed this time?"

When everyone heard this, they looked at Masao Yoshioka.

Yoshioka Masao snorted coldly: "It's very simple. This shows that the military command's target of revenge is not limited to those who have targeted them before. As long as we are military and political officials, intelligence personnel, and even Japanese expatriates, they may become the target of their assassination. This time they have a big plan and will never give up!"

Yoshioka Masao's words made everyone feel shocked. If this is the case, the other party can take the initiative to attack and choose to assassinate the target at will. One of his own side will passively defend and will be exhausted to deal with it. A bloody storm will soon start in Taiyuan City.

But Masao Yoshioka was not afraid at all. In this Taiyuan City, he had been in operation for a long time, had sufficient resources and had the advantage of home court. No matter he was an opponent, he had the confidence to knock it down.
