Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 548 The Most Chaotic Day Seven
Xiao Linxun's sixth sense told her that Qian Xiaobao was lying.

As for Qian Xiaobao's body smelling like rouge just now, Qian Xiaobao's understatement explained it in one sentence. This is the performance of not lying.

Whenever Qian Xiaobao told Xiao Linxun nonsense, he always liked to chatter, just like explaining the matter of cotton pads now.

But Kobayashi Xun didn't care.She didn't care about the cotton pads at all.

The only time Qian Xiaobao caught Xiao Linxun's attention was when Xiao Yao came to her and provoked her.

That time, if Qian Xiaobao hadn't been very firm, something big might have happened.

Xiao Linxun thought that even if Qian Xiaobao went to drink in a Japanese restaurant, she might not be too angry, because those women robbed Qian Xiaobao of his money.

But the woman named Xiaoyao or Xiaohong is different, she is here to rob Xiaolin Xun.

"I'll make another cotton mat for the two of them to sleep in the corridor in the future." Xiao Linxun said.

When Kobayashi Kaoru and Qian Xiaobao were discussing cotton pads, on the desk of Security Bureau Counselor Saito Hengqi, there was a rag the size of a palm, two gears the size of a watch dial and a small section of spring.

Major Utsunomiya, who came back from the on-site survey, said: "These things are the remnants of the timer we collected at the scene, and the explosive should be TNT! I'm sure it's a time bomb made by a big northern country!"

"So this is a special action by the northern power against the Security Bureau?" Saito Koshichi asked.

"It should be" Major Utsunomiya replied.

"But what's the point of killing seven or eight postal inspectors in this operation?" Saito Hengqi seemed to be talking to himself.

"Sir, in addition to the explosion in the post office of the Security Bureau today, there was also a shooting incident in the Yanbin Building on Stone Street." Shaozuo Utsunomiya said.

"I asked people from the police department who had been to the scene. Some officials from the Binjiang provincial government went to the banquet building for dinner at noon today. After hearing the explosion, they opened the windows and stretched their heads to see what happened. At this time, someone shot at them in the Yachiyo department store, killing three people on the spot." Utsunomiya continued.

"I heard that something happened to the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army today." Saito Koshichi said.

"Yes, I've heard that too. It seems that a person from the intelligence department has disappeared. Now the police and military police are investigating in Harbin." Utsunomiya Shaozuo replied.

Koshichi Saito didn't speak. In fact, he knew more details. Nakazuo Maekawa, the communications team of the Ministry of Intelligence, was kidnapped.

Although this incident was not as dramatic as the previous two incidents, the combination of the seven or eight people in the postal inspection team who died and those officials from Binjiang Province was not as important as Maekawa Mau alone.

Saito Tsunechi picked up the palm-sized rag and studied it carefully.

"To determine the center of the explosion, we found this piece of rag. The time bomb was probably wrapped in this piece of cloth and sent to the postal inspection team disguised as a postal parcel." Shaozuo Utsunomiya explained.

Saito Hengqi held the rag in one hand, and carefully picked a few strands of cotton from the rag with the other hand.

"It seems that this is something like a quilt." Saito Hengqi said.

He suddenly put the rag under his nose and smelled it, then said to Utsunomiya Shaozuo: "Come here and smell what it smells like."

Major Utsunomiya leaned over and lowered his head to smell the rags carefully.

It took him a long time before he said, "In addition to the smell of gunpowder smoke left after the explosion of the explosives, there seems to be a smell of urine."

"Maybe this piece of cloth is on the baby's bedding." Saito Koshichi said.

Except for rich and noble families, who doesn't wear patched clothes in ordinary people's homes?A piece of cloth and a ball of cotton are precious, and no one would be willing to use cotton pads for their dogs.

"Tomorrow, send someone to take this piece of cloth to various post offices to see if anyone can recognize this piece of cloth." Saito Hengqi ordered.

Although there is only a slap-sized piece left and the color has changed due to the explosion, but now we can only use this rag to try our luck.

Seven people transported Maekawa Maewa to the other side of the river in a small boat hidden in the grass on the bank of the Songhua River, and the big man didn't want to go any further.

When the Songhua River swelled, the surface of the river was several kilometers wide, and after the water fell, there was only less than one kilometer of river surface left.

There is a wide section on both sides of the river bank where farmers dare not plant the land and it is full of shrubs and weeds. The big man wants to finish the trial of Maekawa Maha here.

Then seven people can escape separately.

"Lao Liba and Squint Eye stayed behind, and the others went out to watch the wind a few tens of meters away." The big man said.

Squint's hometown is on the east side of the Yalu River, and he learned Japanese in school when he was a child.

The other four disappeared into the grass, and the big man looked down at Maekawa Mau who was lying on the door panel and did not speak.

What is going on right now is the most important and also the most difficult part of the task.

The seven of them are all from the Anti-Japanese League, so they don't know how many times they have met the Japanese.

It is easy to kill a Japanese, but it is too difficult to capture a Japanese alive.These guys are not afraid of death at all.

It's not that easy to get secrets out of a Japanese lieutenant.

Maekawa Mau had woken up early, his hands and feet were tied to the door panel, his mouth was stuffed with a rag, and he looked up at the big man with his eyes wide open.

From the look on his face, he knew that Maekawa Maha had no fear at all, he was ready to die.

The big man took out a cigarette, lit it, squatted on the ground and took a puff, saying: "Look for stones, if there are no stones, a gun butt will hit him slowly, smashing all the bones in his body, be careful not to let him make a sound!"

The old man asked curiously: "Shouldn't you take out the rag in his mouth and ask for information?"

The big man shook his head and replied, "No need, this is the order from the superior!"

Old Liba and Squint Eyed took huge risks to cross the border from the big northern country to Harbin, and finally caught the target, and now the big man is going to kill him without asking a word, both of them are full of stomachs doubt.

"The higher-ups told you to obey my orders before departure! Execute them immediately!" said the big man.

At the same time, he took out a few notes from his pocket and said: "In fact, I have already obtained information from Comrade Joint. After killing him, we can evacuate with the information."

Now that the information has been obtained, why take the risk of arresting people?

Old Liba and Squinting Eyes knew that this matter was by no means as simple as the big man said.

But they also saw that the whole operation must have been arranged by the superiors in advance.

The two stopped talking but looked down for the stone.

After a while, Lao Liba and Squint Eye each held a pebble, starting from Maekawa Mau's limbs and smashing every bone in his body bit by bit!
Maekawa Mau whimpered in pain, his eyes protruding.
