"Don't move!" Even though Morita shouted in time, the restaurant was still in chaos.
On the other side, faced with the sudden power outage, Mitsui Juichi responded immediately. He rushed into the restaurant with his people and fired a warning shot.
At this time, in the large restaurant, although there were still many people whispering, perhaps because of Morita's loud shout, there was no longer the panic that had just happened when the power went out, and it became completely quiet after the gunshot.
But just when Mitsui Shouichi breathed a sigh of relief, he heard his subordinates report in a trembling voice: "Major, Colonel... his jade is broken!"
"What did you say?!" After hearing the report from his subordinates, Mitsui Juichi rushed over immediately. However, at this time, Morita was already dead and lying on the floor of the banquet hall, with blood flowing all over the floor.
Soon, Mitsui Juichi, who was furious, ordered people to report to the headquarters immediately, and then checked and restored the circuit. Then he ordered people to carry Morita's body to the banquet table in front of everyone, suppressing his anger and speaking to everyone in a deep voice.
Said: "Now I can be sure that someone used a cigarette butt to destroy the wires in the bathroom, causing a short circuit. He took the opportunity to assassinate Colonel Morita! The murder weapon was a table knife, and the murderer was among you people!"
After speaking, Mitsui Juichi ordered: "Check everyone's tableware!"
As soon as these words came out, his subordinates immediately took orders and checked everyone's tableware one by one.
But when Gu Xiaomeng was found, she slammed the table and said angrily: "I will not accept such a search!"
"Why?"
"Why?" Gu Xiaomeng chuckled, "If the Major identifies who is the murderer, he can just shoot him. Isn't it too insulting to try everyone as suspects?"
As soon as these words came out, Jin Shenghuo on the side frowned with a headache. If it hadn't been in front of Mitsui Juichi, I'm afraid he would have severely reprimanded Gu Xiaomeng.
Mitsui Shouichi was also very calm. He just stared at Gu Xiaomeng fiercely and said word by word: "If I am not wrong, the last person I came into contact with before the assassination of the colonel was you! I am right.
Right, Captain Gu?"
"That's right!" Gu Xiaomeng admitted without hesitation, "Colonel invited me to dance, everyone knows it!"
"No! It wasn't the colonel who asked you to dance, but you took the initiative to entangle him. I know this very well!"
Hearing this, a flash of panic flashed in Gu Xiaomeng's eyes. Fortunately, Li Ningyu on the side calmly pinched her thigh with her hand, which made her calm down again, "Major Mitsui, please pay attention to your use."
Words, I am reminding Colonel Morita to fulfill his promise, nothing more."
"Okay, even so, you are also the person most suspected of killing Colonel Morita. Am I right?"
"Colonel Mitsui is right. Before the power outage, I was indeed closest to Colonel Morita, but after the power outage, he immediately pushed me away. It was so dark in the hall that anyone could assassinate the colonel. Why would Major Mitsui doubt me?
Woolen cloth?"
"Hmph! You also said that it was so dark in the hall. If it hadn't been for you, the person closest to him, others would not have been able to accurately locate Colonel Morita in such a short period of time, even if they wanted to assassinate him.
Assassinate him?"
Before he finished speaking, Wu Zhiguo, who was sitting at the end, said coldly, "That's not necessarily the case! If the killer closes his eyes in advance before the power outage, then he will adapt to the darkness faster than others, so under these conditions
It’s not that difficult to carry out an assassination.”
"But how did the killer know when to close his eyes in advance?" Mitsui Juichi asked after pondering for a moment.
"Easy! The song that Colonel Morita and Captain Gu dance to is the famous 'Sound of Spring'. The whole song lasts for six minutes. As long as you calculate the time correctly, it can perfectly match the time of the short circuit in the bathroom." Bai Xiaonian did not agree.
He said slowly.
"What you two mean is that everyone here has a chance to assassinate the colonel, right?" Seeing the two men nodding, Mitsui Juichi continued, "That's why I have to check everyone's tableware, and as long as they don't cooperate in checking the tableware
The person who is the murderer in my eyes should be executed in public! Do you have any questions, Captain Gu?"
As soon as these words came out, almost everyone's guns were aimed at Gu Xiaomeng.
At this moment, Jin Shenghuo finally couldn't stand it anymore and said in a deep voice, almost in a scolding tone: "Gu Xiaomeng..."
However, before Jin Shenghuo could finish his words, Li Ningyu on the side simply ended the conversation and said coldly: "Put away your eldest lady temper! It's a matter of life and death. No matter how arrogant you are, don't use it at the gunpoint!"
"
With that said, he unceremoniously lifted the napkin that Gu Xiaomeng was holding tightly and revealed the tableware underneath.
A set of three spoons, forks, and knives, complete and complete, with many of the same items. Mitsui Juichi's face immediately turned livid.
Gu Xiaomeng said angrily: "Major, are you satisfied now?"
Mitsui Shouichi just snorted, then turned to his subordinates and said: "Continue!"
However, after careful inspection, everyone's tableware was intact. In the end, it turned out that Morita's tableware was missing a knife!
…
While Juichi Mitsui was still on the ship tracking down the murderer of Colonel Morita, even though it was late at night, the lights were still bright inside the Military Police Headquarters in Shanghai.
As soon as Nanzo Yunzi came out of Yokota's office, he saw a Japanese officer of medium build but with a majestic face coming in from the outside. He quickly stepped forward and stood at attention and said: "Colonel Ryukawa!"
"Section Chief Nanzo!" The officer named Long Chuan nodded and replied. Then he glanced at the military police lining up outside and asked casually, "What, are there any actions tonight?"
"Yes, Colonel! A convert has revealed a secret contact point of Guzhou, a senior military agent. The subordinate is about to go and arrest him. What are your instructions, Colonel Ryukawa?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I just want to tell you that the agents of the military commander are all cunning people. You must deal with them carefully and don't take them lightly!"
"Yes! I understand!"
"Well, go ahead!"
After watching Minami Yunzi leave, Ryukawa Hihara straightened his military uniform and walked towards a room with a sign of the Special Adviser's Office.
"Colonel Ryukawa, the Marquis has been waiting for you for a long time!" As soon as he arrived at the door, the guard immediately saluted Ryukawa Hihara and said respectfully.
Long Chuan Fei Principle nodded to the guard and then walked in.
However, as soon as he entered the room, Ryukawa Hihara keenly felt something strange, so he quickly and subconsciously looked at the special military adviser, the livid-faced Marquis Tetsuo Washio, who was sitting behind the desk.
The first words that Tetsuo Washiucho spoke confirmed Ryukawa Hihara's suspicion, "Morita is dead!"
Just four words set off a huge wave in Ryukawa Hihara's heart, and he quickly took the folder that Tetsuo Shizuo had reached down with both hands.
However, after Ryukawa Hihara read the contents of the folder, he came to a shocking conclusion, "Morita did not die from an assassination!"
"Oh? Then he died..."
"The strange message sent from the ship received by the deciphering headquarters mentioned Qiuzhuang. So he is the fourth person to die in Qiuzhuang!"
"Isn't it the third one?" Jiuchao Tefu asked back, "Old owner Qiu, Qian Huyi, plus that Morita?"
"No! It's the fourth one." Ryukawa Hihara insisted.
After hearing this, Tetsuo Washio was stunned for a while, and then said with some clarity: "Oh, I'm really sorry, Hihara-kun. I actually forgot that there is indeed another person. This Morita's death may be true.
Like you said, it's not because of the spies on the ship, but because of Qiuzhuang's curse! Now that you know it, you should know what to do, right?"
"yes!"
After saying that, Ryukawa Hihara was about to turn around and leave. However, before he could reach the door, he was stopped by Tetsuo Washuchi, "Wait a minute, Hihara-kun. Before Morita was killed, did you want to pass by me?"
With permission, I secretly killed all the experts on the ship, which is why I ended up like this. Hihara-kun, I think you won’t act on your own, so stupid, right?”
"of course not!"
"That's good! Go ahead!"
…
On the ship, Mitsui Juichi's investigation continues.
"It's one o'clock in the morning. At this moment, there should be four of you."
"Major Mitsui, what do you mean by this?" Even though he had guessed the implication of Mitsui Shouichi's words, Jin Shenghuo still asked knowingly.
But Mitsui Shouichi seemed to be waiting for someone to ask such a question. He sneered and waved to his subordinates. Immediately, someone brought in a jar marked with mustard gas and placed it with Morita's body among the crowd.
On the dining table in front of you.
"It's just an empty jar. You don't need to be so nervous. The poisonous gas in this was originally the last dish prepared by Morita for you. It only takes a few minutes to end everything. The death he prepared for you is better than yours."
It’s too much dignity for him!”
"Hey!" Wu Zhiguo couldn't help but sneered after hearing this, "No wonder each of you is wearing a gas mask. It turns out you had planned it beforehand!"
"Humph! It's you who deserve to die!" However, when talking about this, Mitsui Juichi suddenly changed the subject, "But now, I will give you a way to survive. When the lights went out, that is, when the colonel was assassinated, you were all present. Change.
In other words, each of you is a suspect, but at the same time, you are also a witness. As long as someone is willing to testify against the murderer, then this person will not die. But if no one is willing to tell, every five minutes, I
Just kill one person until the murderer is found or you are all killed!"
Saying that, Mitsui Juichi turned to look at an expert, "Start with you!"
Before he finished speaking, someone immediately pointed their gun at the expert.
The man had never seen such a battle before. He was frightened and kept repeating "I don't know anything!". However, when the time came, he was shot mercilessly by the guard.
It ended in life.
Mitsui Shouichi looked at the next person. After killing three people in a row, Mitsui Shouichi just looked at the fourth expert, and the man jumped up from his seat, pointed at Li Ningyu and said in horror: "
It was her! It was she who killed the colonel!"
As soon as these words came out, almost everyone looked at Li Ningyu.
"Yes, it's her! She is the spy who infiltrated! It was she who killed the colonel!"
"Major Li, do you have anything to say about his accusation?" Mitsui Shouichi stared at Li Ningyu and asked word by word.
Li Ningyu stood up calmly and calmly said to Jin Shengxian sitting opposite: "Professor Jin, please tell Major, what was I doing before the lights went out?"
Hearing this, everyone immediately turned their attention to Jin Shengxian, who quickly adjusted his glasses and said: "Yes, before the lights went out, Major Li had indeed been discussing professional issues with me. But...
I just wanted to ask Major Li a few small questions, but just ten seconds before the lights went out, Major Li had already sat back in his seat, so I can't testify for you about your subsequent movements.
.”
"That's right!" The expert who was pointed at quickly agreed, "When the lights were dark, she was beside the colonel, and she was still holding that knife in her hand! That table knife!"
The more the man spoke, the more excited he became. Hearing Gu Xiaomeng's anger, he was about to retort when Jin Shenghuo's voice rang out first, "The more false the testimony, the tougher it gets. The competition now is not about whose voice is louder."
, but to see who can come up with ironclad evidence."
Before she finished speaking, Li Ningyu smiled and asked, "Whose knife did you just say I was holding in my hand?"
"It's...it's Colonel's knife!"
"Then when did I get the colonel's knife and stab him?"
"You...you took advantage of the lights to go out and get the knife first, and then you went to kill the colonel!"
"That's right..." Li Ningyu nodded, "Based on the Major's reaction speed, it is not difficult to infer that the Major was assassinated within three to five seconds after the lights were turned off. You have to ask me to retrieve the knife and return in such a dark environment.
, is it possible to find the position of the colonel and kill him with a single blow to complete the assassination?"
The man couldn't help but feel slightly ashamed after hearing this, but Li Ningyu continued: "What's more, I have been working hard in the conference room for so long. Everyone who has seen me should know that I am only good at using my right hand.
After his right hand was injured, he even had to find new subordinates to assist him in the work, and almost failed to complete the task. May I ask this gentleman, can such a right hand complete such a precise and efficient assassination?"
"This..." In just a few words, Li Ningyu left the expert speechless.
Mitsui Juichi said while looking at his watch: "In the last ten seconds, tell me, before the assassination of the colonel, did you see Li Ningyu standing next to the colonel holding a knife?"
