Chapter 239: Fooling Around


"I wish I could get better soon, and I don't want to lie in this bed.

By the way, did the killer catch it?

Li Yixin asked.

He wanted to inquire about the progress of the investigation of the assassination incident from Shinnosuke Murakami, and see if the 'bodyguard' would be found by the Japanese, after all, the 'bodyguard' was also at the scene of the crime at the time, and the Japanese would definitely want to find the 'bodyguard', a rickshaw driver.

Shinnosuke Murakami shook his head and gritted his teeth and said: "Tanaka-kun is in charge of this matter, according to what I know, they are still investigating, and they have not found valuable clues."

If that assassin is caught, I'll cut off his head with my own hands!

” And while Shinnosuke Murakami was talking to Li Yixin, the investigation of the rickshaw driver in Stone Town continued.

It's just that according to the registration number, the investigation has entered a new stage, this time Tanaka Taro was ruthless, and arrested all the rickshaw drivers who had been screened and did not have an alibi that night, and put them in the detention center and prison of the police station, so that the Japanese driver could identify them, and wanted to find out the rickshaw driver who appeared at the scene that night.

Since the 'bodyguard' lived alone, no one could prove whether he slept at home that night, so he was also detained.

Since rickshaw drivers are the lowest level of Chinese in Stone Town, many of them are lonely and miserable bachelors, so they cannot find anyone to prove their whereabouts, so there are quite a few rickshaw drivers who are imprisoned by the Japanese.

As a result, prisons and detention centers are overcrowded, and the Secret Service Headquarters Stone Town Branch continues to arrest people, which is a bit frustrating for the National Police Agency.

For this reason, Director Wang specially bypassed He Langtao and directly found Taro Tanaka to complain, hoping to identify these rickshaw drivers who had been imprisoned as soon as possible.

He then freed those who had been shown not to be present at the scene, making room for the continued detention of the rickshaw pullers who had been caught.

Taro Tanaka also seemed to have little to do about the police agency's complaints, and he had to make the Japanese military driver go back and forth between the detention center and the prison every day, with only one purpose: to identify people.

Because the rickshaw of the 'bodyguard' at the scene of the assassination was parked next to the street lamp that was not too bright, although it could be seen, the Japanese driver did not pay attention to the appearance of the rickshaw driver because he was not mentally prepared in advance.

In addition, due to the cold weather in the middle of the night, the 'bodyguard' added a shabby coat and a tattered felt hat in order to keep warm, which also objectively covered the face of the 'bodyguard', so that the Japanese driver could not actually identify the 'bodyguard' at all.

Therefore, the traitor agents of the Stone Town branch of the Secret Service Headquarters worked with the police to screen all the rickshaw drivers, and most of the rickshaw drivers were arrested, but they were unable to find the person who helped the killer flee the scene.

This frustrated Taro Tanaka and Yan Fuyuki, because it was the only direct clue, but now it was as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.

In fact, what they didn't expect was that the 'bodyguard' was still locked up in the detention center of the police station for two days at this time.

Due to the slow speed and efficiency of identifying people, he was arrested by traitor agents and the police and taken to a detention center three hours after returning to his residence that night.

Because the 'bodyguard' had increased his coat and hat that night due to the cold, and the Japanese driver's attention had been 'ghostly' after the gunshot, he was confident that he would not be recognized.

So he pretended to be as numb as any other ordinary rickshaw puller, waiting to be recognized.

On the afternoon of the day Li Yixin woke up, he was finally taken out of the cell in a group with nine other rickshaw drivers, standing in the sunlight waiting to be identified.

The Japanese driver was exhausted because he had been identifying the rickshaw drivers for two days in a row and had seen a lot of rickshaw drivers, so the Japanese driver walked back and forth in front of the ten rickshaw drivers standing in a row, and looked at each of the rickshaw drivers, including the 'bodyguards', but still could not identify the 'bodyguards'.

And the 'bodyguard' had a very good mental quality, he skillfully observed the expressions of some of the other nine innocent rickshaw drivers in the same group, and then vividly pretended to have the same expressions and looks, and finally passed the identification without any problems.

Of course, all the rickshaw drivers were not immediately released after the identification process, and were still being held pending Taro Tanaka's final decision.

And Director Wang of the National Police Agency's constant complaints every day finally made Tanaka Taro a little uncomfortable, and he called Yan Fuzhi to ask: "Yan Sang, the Police Department is complaining about overcrowding again, but the identification and screening have not yet been completed, and it is estimated that it will take two more days."

I'm calling you here to hear if any of the detainees are left to find a target?

” Yan Fu knew that the rickshaw driver was the only clue, and he was unwilling to give up, he thought for a while before he thought of a possibility that had been ignored before, and reminded Tanaka Taro: "Tanaka Taijun, I wonder if we can think about the problem differently.

Now we can basically judge that this rickshaw driver and the killer should be in a gang, that is to say, these two people should belong to the current Zhongtong elements or communists in Stone Town.

So I wonder if this rickshaw driver was just a temporary identity, deliberately disguised by anti-Japanese elements for the sake of this operation?

In this case, we are actually choosing the wrong direction to solve these rickshaw drivers, and we will end up in vain. ” In the face of Yan Fuzhi's reminder, Taro Tanaka was a little unacceptable, because this is the only clue that has been there so far, and if this clue is broken, then solving the case will become an impossible task.

Therefore, Tanaka Taro shook his head and continued to insist: "Yan Sang, I don't agree with your statement.

If we say we're going in the wrong direction, can you tell us if we have any other clues to follow?

” Yan Fuzhi was obviously choked by Taro Tanaka's strong words, and said after a while: "Can we find a way to check the murder weapon that committed the crime?"

After all, there are now three bullet casings left.

I've heard that the Imperial Army is very strict about guns and ammunition in Stone Town, so maybe I can find any clues?

Could it be that the pistol used by the killer to commit the murder was purchased from the underground black market?
