Chapter 210 Gunshots from the War Department

Lin Yanni was thinking about accompanying Gao Jiu. When she heard Zhou Mingshan say this, she said readily: "Brother Jiu, I am quite familiar with Wuhan City. In the future, let the girl be your guide!"

Gao Jiu and others plan to enjoy a short peaceful time in Wuhan City starting tomorrow.

At 3:00 am that night, Gao Jiu was suddenly awakened by the gunshots. The gunshots continued to ring. Although the distance was relatively far, Gao Jiu could still hear them clearly. He sat up and judged the approximate location of the gunshots.

Whenever Gao Jiu arrived at a place, the first thing he did was to be familiar with the surrounding terrain. He carefully checked the entire topographic map of Wuhan, especially the terrain of the generation he lived in. He judged the location of the gunshots, about 2.6 kilometers away from here. According to the location on the map, it should be the location of the Ninth War Zone Command. I wonder what was going on there? Although he was a little curious, he thought about it and found that no matter what happened, it had nothing to do with him, so he lay down again.

I would like to talk about it here that during the Battle of Wuhan, the Kuomintang army mainly participated in the Battle of Wuhan, the Fifth War Zone and the Ninth War Zone. The Fifth War Zone was dominated by the Guangxi clique and the Ninth War Zone was dominated by the Central Army. At this time, the heads of the two major war zones were both in Wuhan.

After breakfast the next day, Zhou Mingshan called Gao Jiu and asked him to come over to meet him. Gao Jiu came to the guesthouse.

Zhou Mingshan said: "Jiu Ye, Japanese spies have been making great strides in Wuhan City recently. Although you are very skilled, you should be careful when going out. After all, the people around you don't have such good skills. If you hurt them, you will feel unbearable. So I suggest that you try to go out as little as possible recently."

Gao Jiu nodded and said, "I understand. At 3:00 am, what happened to the military command?"

Zhou Mingshan talked about the story:

Early this morning, a staff officer on duty in the office building of the Ninth War Zone Command got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet and found that a second lieutenant staff officer on duty in the corridor was not on duty, so he went to search. Soon after, he found the body of the second lieutenant staff officer under the stairs, so he sounded the alarm.

The guards near the office building began to search. A guard found a figure flashing on the window on the third floor of the office building, so he asked loudly. The figure was very skilled and jumped directly from the third floor to a flagpole downstairs, and quickly slid along the flagpole to the ground.

The guard saw this and fired. The figure slid to the ground, rolled several times in a row, then flashed through the corner of the building, and turned to the back of the building. There was a small garden, and a wall not far away. After the guards chased him, the person had disappeared.

After on-site investigation, it was found that in addition to the second lieutenant staff officer, two guards on duty were killed.

The window on the third floor is located in the office of the command's operations minister. After inspection, no important documents or other items were found to be lost. Perhaps the thief's whereabouts were alarmed by the building, so he failed to succeed.

Zhou Mingshan said: "This thief is obviously a Japanese spy. He went to the office of the Operations Minister of the Ninth War Zone Command to steal military intelligence from the Ninth War Zone."

Gao Jiu asked, "How did you deal with it?"

Zhou Mingshan said: "The guards within the Ninth War Zone Command are under the responsibility of the headquarters. If they cannot find clues, they will report them according to the Japanese spy case. The Military Commission asked the Military Commission to take over the case. There are no clues at the moment."

Gao Jiu asked, "You are asking me for this?"

Zhou Mingshan said: "Yes, aren't you going out for a trip these days? I just want to remind you to be safe."

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "Website Manager Zhou, we are our own brothers, are you still trying to be sarcastic about me?"

If Zhou Mingshan just reminded Gao Jiu to pay attention to safety, just call him. There is no need to come here. Moreover, he and Gao Jiu talked about this matter so in detail, which obviously meant to make Gao Jiu pay attention to this matter.

Zhou Mingshan smiled and said, "Jiu Master is Jiu Master, I can't hide anything from you."

Then he talked about his intention to invite Gao Jiu.

It turned out that in Wuhan, there was a Japanese intelligence organization code-named Sakura. The organization's activities were very rampant. They spy on intelligence, assassinate military and political officials, and create bombs and other espionage activities, which caused panic in Wuhan. The Military Control Commission handed over this matter to Wang Xilin, deputy director of the anti-espionage department.

Wang Xilin struggled for several months to solve the case and only captured some of the little Ronaldos on the outside of the Japanese spy organization, but did not make any substantial progress.

Now that the war is imminent, the Japanese spies actually came to such a vital department of the Operations Department of the Ninth War Zone Command. The Military Commission was very furious and ordered the Military Commission to solve the case within a time limit. This time, it was serious. Only ten days were given to the Military Commission, and the boss of the Military Commission gave Wang Xilin only seven days. If the case cannot be solved, he would send Wang Xilin to the military court.

Wang Xilin was a fellow villager of Zhou Mingshan, and his classmates and brothers. Wang Xilin was under great pressure, so he found Zhou Mingshan and asked him to help solve the case.

This case is too big. Zhou Mingshan has been in another place and is basically in a dark state about the situation in Wuhan. Therefore, although he wants to help, he can only help.

However, he really wanted to help Wang Xilin, so he thought of Gao Jiu. This guy has great magical powers, and maybe he has a way.

To be honest, Gao Jiu was really unwilling to get involved in such a thing. Looking at Zhou Mingshan's part, he just said to give it a try.

Zhou Mingshan also knew that this matter was too difficult for Gao Jiu, because he was more familiar with Wuhan than himself. Zhou Mingshan said: "Jiu Master, I did not clearly agree to Wang Xilin for this matter, so don't be under pressure. If you really can't help him, that's what he deserves."

Gao Jiu said, "Okay, take me to the scene to see it."

The office building of the Ninth War Zone Command is a gray six-story building. Gao Jiu stood downstairs, looking at the window where the guards first discovered the Japanese spy, and asked: "What kind of agency is there in the office of the Minister of Operations, and whose offices are there?"

Accompanying them was a staff officer from the Guard Department of the Ninth War Zone Command. He took out a map of the internal organization of the building from his file bag. On the east side of the same floor is the combat duty room, the Secretariat, and on the west side are the combat locations one and two, and downstairs are the Military Information Department and the Artillery Department. Upstairs are the Engineer Department, the National Defense Engineering Design Bureau and other units.

Gao Jiu asked: "What other clues are there?"

The guard's staff officer said: "It's too dark, and I only saw a figure. I'm not tall, so that's all."

After thinking about it, Gao Jiu came under the flagpole, looked at the flagpole, then bent down slightly towards the northwest direction of the flagpole, and walked slowly forward.

Zhou Mingshan and the staff officer of the guard did not know what he was looking for, and followed him slowly moving.

The ground was bare and cleaned very clean by the soldiers, and it looked like nothing was needed.

In the army, soldiers do their daily business, and the most common thing they do is to clean the camps, especially in front and back of office buildings, pull out every grass on the ground, and sweep the ground clean.

However, Gao Jiu still moved forward carefully. Finally, he came to the base of the wall, looked for a while, then bent down and picked up something from the ground. Zhou Mingshan and the staff officer came forward to check, but Gao Jiu clenched his hand into a fist and refused to let them see it.

The guard officer asked, "What did you find?"

Gao Jiu did not answer his question and said, "Come with me." He walked forward first.

The guard staff officer was a captain, and Gao Jiu was just a lieutenant. He was so impolite that the guard staff officer felt a little unhappy. However, when he saw that Zhou Mingshan, the colonel, followed Gao Jiu obediently, he had to follow him obediently.

Gao Jiu walked around the building and walked into the small garden. He still bent over and slowly moved towards the wall. During this period, he seemed to have no discovery. Then he came to the side of the wall and asked, "Where did that person climb out?"

The guard staff pointed to a wall and said, "It was from here that Gao Jiu continued to bend over and walked towards there, and then looked for something near that wall. Later, he seemed to find something, and then bent down and picked up something.

He stood up straight and looked at the wall. The staff officer felt a flash in front of him. Gao Jiuren was gone. After seeing again, he had already stood on the wall more than two meters high, looking around there, then squatted down, looked at the wall, and then disappeared.

After a while, he appeared on the wall again and jumped off the wall. He didn't see any preparations, and just landed on the ground lightly.

With this move, the guard staff member was shocked. He thought to himself, "No wonder this colonel respects him so much. It turns out that this person is a martial arts master?!"

Zhou Mingshan asked: "Mr. Xiao, what did you find?"

Gao Jiu looked at the guards standing around and said, "This is not a place to talk, let's go there to talk."

The three of them came to the rockery in the garden, and Gao Jiu asked, "How many female soldiers are there in this building? How many have long hair?"

As he said that, he took out two hairs from his pocket, both of which were more than one foot long and looked slightly yellow.

The guard staff couldn't explain this clearly at once. Gao Jiu ordered him to investigate quietly.

The guards went for about half an hour and said after returning: "In this office building, there are 28 female soldiers, most of whom have short hair, and only four or more female officers have long hair. Three of the hair colors are black, and only one of them is pale yellow."

As he said that, he took out a long pale yellow hair and gave it to Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu picked up the two hairs he picked up, and compared them with the hair. He said: "The person who came last night was a woman, and she should be between 20 and 25 years old."

The guard staff asked in confusion: "Mr. Xiao, how do you know this?"

Zhou Mingshan was also a little confused because he received a report saying that the man left a lot of footprints when inspecting the scene, and according to the current size, it was 40-41 yards, which should not be the footprints left by a woman.

Moreover, the guards had no experience and destroyed the scene, and could not judge the weight of the person based on the depth of the footprints.

However, Zhou Mingshan trusted Gao Jiu very much, and although he had questions in his heart, he did not ask.

Gao Jiu said: "First of all, this person is small in size. Judging from the size, there is a high possibility for a woman. Although the footprints she left were men's footprints, it cannot be ruled out that she deliberately wore shoes with larger size soles to cover up her traces. I just arrived outside the wall, and there was damp soil under the base of the wall. The footprints she left were shallow. It can be judged that this person's body was light, no more than 100 kilograms.

This man jumped off the flagpole and was eager to escape, so he ran very fast. In this case, it was normal to scatter a few strands of hair.

The southeast wind blew last night. I went to close the window last night, but the southeast wind blew at that time.

That's why I looked northwest from under the flagpole. The wall happened to be northwest. The two hairs I found under the wall of the building and under the wall were obviously from one person. Although these two hairs were yellow, they were very plump and round, obviously owned by a very young woman.
