Chapter 312 Mass Grave

the next day.

Nine o'clock in the morning.

Western Suburbs Mass Grave.

When Qi Yue looked up, he saw nothing but desolate scenes, with desolate graves everywhere. Every raised mound of earth was an ownerless grave.

"Everyone get out of the car!"

"Everyone is standing still!"

"No loud noises allowed!"

The police with guns were shouting.

The prisoners, handcuffed behind their backs, jumped out of the prison van one by one, stood in a row according to the police's instructions, and looked around in panic.

Didi!

A black car drove up.

Zhao Zhenhai stepped forward to ask, and quickly ran back: "Captain Qi, Section Chief Ranchuan is here!"

Qi Yue walked forward quickly.

Somekawa Kazuo's outfit was somewhat incongruous. He wore a wide-brimmed police hat and sunglasses on his nose. He was wearing a police uniform underneath and a Kwantung Army standard coat outside.

"Chief Somekawa."

Qi Yue greeted.

"Since I took office, I have not experienced the scene of the execution of prisoners. I took this opportunity to come and see it... Who is that?"

Somekawa Kazuo looked into the distance.

A teenage boy, his face red from the cold, had just climbed out of the frozen ditch, dragging his homemade ice skate. He stared in confusion when he saw so many people suddenly coming.

Qi Yue called the police chief in charge of the alert: "What are you doing? Didn't you say there was no one there? Where did the child come from? Send him away immediately!"

"Yes!"

The sheriff turned around and shouted, "Stop watching, kid! Go home!"

Somekawa Kazuo suddenly said, "This is a secret execution and should not be seen by anyone."

Qi Yue was shocked, knowing that this guy had murderous intentions, so he pretended to be casual and said, "It's nothing for a kid to see it. Wang Peng, go up and kick him twice to teach him a lesson!"

Somekawa Kazuo unhooked his gun holster, took out a Nambu-style pistol, turned on the safety, loaded the bullet, and pointed the gun at the unaware boy.

Seeing this, a political prisoner in a cotton gown pushed the police away and shouted angrily, "You are worse than pigs and dogs. You even don't let children go. You are beasts! Bastards!"

Another prisoner also started swearing.

Somekawa Kazuo turned the gun around and fired two shots. The two prisoners fell to the ground, their bodies twitched for a while, and there was no sign of life.

"How's my shooting?"

Somekawa Kazuo asked Qi Yue.

Qi Yue said: "Every bullet hits its target."

Somekawa Kazuo smiled and said, "I heard that in the Special Agent Division, and even in the entire police department, Captain Qi is considered the best marksman. Today I am lucky enough to have him teach me a lesson."

As he spoke, he handed the gun to Qi Yue and pointed at the bewildered boy: "The target is about fifty yards away. At this distance, if the pistol can hit the target with one shot, the title of sharpshooter is truly well-deserved!"

"It's too far away."

Qi Yue didn't go to take the gun.

Somekawa Kazuo's face was calm, and he was still holding the gun. "Captain Qi, you can't bring yourself to do it, right? He's just a lowly person, and his life or death doesn't matter. You are compassionate and soft-hearted. Such a person is not suitable for spy work."

In this situation, Qi Yue could only take the gun and aim. Even in the cold winter, cold sweat broke out on the palms of his hands holding the gun.

Somekawa Kazuo looked at Qi Yue.

Qi Yue seemed calm, but in fact his heart was in turmoil. If he missed on purpose, his reputation as a sharpshooter would make not only Somekawa Kazuo but also the spies present suspicious.

"Kid, run!"

"Don't just stand there like an idiot. Run!" "Run! Run!"

The prisoners were shouting and yelling.

The police stepped forward to stop them, and then started beating them with rifle butts and batons without any mercy.

Qi Yue noticed that the boy's hands were tightly gripping the rope of the skateboard, and his expression was filled with fear - this was a sign of him running away.

Somekawa Kazuo slowly took two steps back, stood behind Qi Yue, and looked along the barrel of the gun for a while: "Captain Qi, the sight is very accurate. Based on my experience, if we shoot now, we will definitely hit the target!"

He didn't finish his words.

boom!
Qi Yue pulled the trigger.

A second before the gunshot, the boy turned and ran, stumbled, and fell into the ditch. He didn't even bother to throw his skate away, and he crawled to his feet, stumbling toward the other side.

The bullet grazed the boy's ear. He touched his ear while running, his hands covered in blood. Fortunately, the child was short and could no longer be seen after he climbed over the embankment on the other side.

Qi Yue sighed and said, "Section Chief Ranchuan, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. I missed."

Somekawa Kazuo said: "It's not that he missed, it's just that he was lucky."

"It's still not too late to catch up now."

Zhao Zhenhai said on the side.

Somekawa Kazuo said, "If we chase him, it will alert more people. Forget it, let him be. Captain Qi, I'm here to observe, we can start now."

"Bring the prisoners here!"

Qi Yue shouted loudly.

All prisoners were ordered to kneel on the ground with their backs to the executioner who was about to execute them by shooting. Those who refused to obey were hit hard with the butts of their rifles by the police.

"preparation--"

The barrel of the gun was pressed against the back of the prisoner's head.

"Execution!"

boom!boom!boom!boom!
……

A dull gunshot was heard.

The bodies fell everywhere.

Qi Yue inspected them one by one and said loudly, "Check carefully to see if anyone is still breathing. If there is, shoot them again!"

After checking that everything is correct, bury it on the spot.

Qi Yue had a blank expression on his face. He was unable to make any statement. He could only watch and silently mourn the dead martyrs in his heart.

Somekawa Kazuo came over and said in Japanese: "There is something I was about to tell you. Yesterday morning, suspicious people appeared at the Mantetsu Hospital. These people intended to harm Director Kitahara."

"Has he been caught?"

Qi Yue also speaks Japanese.

Somekawa Kazuo shook his head: "No. I plan to play the long game and catch the big fish. Besides, if we arrest people based on suspicion without any evidence, and they refuse to admit it, we will be in a passive position."

Qi Yue thought for a moment and said, "Send someone to monitor them secretly. Sooner or later, they will be exposed."

Somekawa Kazuo and Qi Yue walked away a little before he said, "This is a serious matter. I am speaking to you in Japanese because I don't want others to hear me. You are the only one who knows the inside story of this case."

Qi Yue said: "Chief Ranchuan, I will be in a difficult position if this happens. If we want to arrest someone, we must inform Chief Ning. The action team is under the control of the Special Agents Division. If we don't report the action, I'm afraid..."

Somekawa Kazuo interrupted and said, "It's okay. I'll go explain to Ning Zhiyuan. You should take a few capable men with you and rush to the Manchurian Railway Hospital. They have scouted the area during the day and think they have figured out the situation. They will definitely take action tonight!"

"Okay, I'll take someone there right away."

Qi Yue turned to leave.

"and many more!"

Somekawa Kazuo stopped Qi Yue and looked at him for a while: "I guess the purpose of those people must be to assassinate Director Kitahara. At that time, you can let one or two go, and then secretly follow them, find out the mastermind behind the scenes, and catch them all in one fell swoop!"
