In the morgue of the 76th Special Agent Headquarters, the forensic doctor handed a tray to Li Zhiqun, on which were placed three miniature bullet heads.

"Director, we have examined all three victims. There were no other gunshot wounds or external injuries. Their bones were intact. Only their hearts were hit by this type of bullet, and they died on the spot."

Li Zhiqun looked at the bullets on the tray with some surprise in his eyes. He picked up a bullet, examined it carefully, and turned to Wu Shicai, Sun Xiangde, and the others behind him, asking, "Have you noticed anything special about this bullet?"

"Such a small diameter warhead?"

Wu Shicai and Sun Xiangde went forward to take a look. It was obvious that this was not an ordinary warhead, but the two of them did not know much about it.

Wu Zhicai turned to one of his subordinates and said, "Zhenming, you're an expert with guns, why don't you take a look too!"

Wu Zhenming, the captain of the Second Action Battalion, was a former head of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS) and was particularly skilled in firearms.

Wu Zhenming stepped forward, took the bullet, examined it in his hand, nodded, and replied, "This is a .25 inch alloy bullet. This type of bullet has a special purpose; it's specifically for miniature pistols. If I'm not mistaken, this should be the bullet for the Browning 1906 miniature pistol. Of course, it would be best if we could find someone from the Military Intelligence Bureau to confirm it. Military Intelligence Bureau personnel always use Browning pistols and would have a better understanding of this miniature pistol."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhiqun nodded and instructed Wu Shicai, "Call Director Luo and ask him to come here!"

Now, all the Kuomintang agents who had defected to the enemy in the Special Agent Headquarters No. 76 are under the First Division, under the unified leadership of Luo Xingchao. In addition, given Luo Xingchao's special status, Li Zhiqun has to consult with Luo Xingchao beforehand to show respect if he wants to mobilize these people.

Wu Shicai turned and went out to make a call to Luo Xingchao's office. He quickly returned and said, "Director Luo is in his office right now. He'll be here shortly."

Li Zhiqun nodded and continued, "The traces at the assassination scene indicate that the assassin was a single person. He rushed into the reception room and quickly approached the two bodyguards, shooting them dead at close range. His movements were so fast that the two bodyguards didn't even have time to leave their seats before being killed. He then kicked open the door to Master's office. Because there were clear shoe prints on the door, Master also didn't have time to react and was shot dead in his chair."

No valuables or documents were missing from either room. The killer's purpose was very clear: to assassinate the victim, and to kill him in one fell swoop before immediately retreating.

It's understandable that Master is old and slow-witted, but his two bodyguards were specially selected. They were agile and skilled with guns, yet they were killed without even having time to react, completely powerless to fight back. This shows that the opponent's mobility was exceptional, and he was definitely a tactical master.

I asked the people in the next office, and they also heard a few muffled thuds, but the sounds were unclear, so they didn't pay much attention. Five or six minutes later, they happened to need to see the master, and when they opened the door, they found three people had been murdered. They immediately sounded the alarm, and the police in the building acted quickly, controlling the building's exits in a short time. Unfortunately, the killer managed to escape the scene within minutes, and our investigation yielded nothing.

Although Li Zhiqun's investigation was thorough, he ultimately failed to catch the murderer on the spot. Once someone escapes, the vast sea of ​​people makes it difficult to bring them back.

After hearing the investigation and analysis, Sun Xiangde said, "We have very few clues right now. We can only make a preliminary judgment that the murderer is a single person with strong tactical skills and is also carrying a special miniature pistol. But with just these few conditions, finding this person in Shanghai is like looking for a needle in a haystack. We need to narrow down the search and confirm the target, otherwise it will be very difficult to find him!"

Wu Shicai, who had been listening impatiently for some time, was a former member of the Green Gang and lacked the patience of a professional intelligence officer. He said directly, "If we can't find the murderer, we'll just find who did it. The Military Intelligence Bureau's Shanghai station is now under our control in the International Settlement, hiding out of the area. Their intelligence network has also been destroyed; some have been arrested, and others have escaped. I don't think it's them. I suspect it wasn't any Chongqing element at all..."

Although Wu Shicai's intelligence skills were lacking, he was still intelligent. He hit the nail on the head with one sentence. However, Li Zhiqun knew that the matter was too big. If it was really retaliation from Ding Mo's faction, then war would be the only option. Otherwise, he would not be able to explain himself to Chen Jinbao, Wu Shicai, his subordinates, and those around him. Therefore, he was extremely cautious.

Just then, Luo Xingchao led Cui Yuanfeng in quickly. They had already come up with an excuse to come and meet him in the office, but they didn't expect to receive a call from Wu Shicai. Naturally, they went with the flow and rushed over as soon as possible.

Luo Xingchao hurried over to Li Zhiqun, nodded slightly, and said in a low voice, "Director, I just heard the news. It was such a surprise. Please accept my condolences!"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhiqun's face darkened, and he waved his hand, saying, "Unexpected things can happen at any time. My master has been murdered, and the situation is serious. My days are numbered now. We must catch the murderer as soon as possible and see who has the audacity to do this!"

Luo Xingchao nodded solemnly and said repeatedly, "The director is right. If there is anything I can do to help, I will do my best."

Li Zhiqun stopped being polite with Luo Xingchao and handed the tray to him, asking directly, "Xingchao, we have limited clues right now. The most valuable thing is these three bullets. These are the physical evidence of the assassination of my master and two bodyguards. Zhenming judges that these are bullets from a Browning micro pistol, but he is not sure. Your Military Intelligence Bureau uses Browning pistols exclusively. Can you take a look and see if they are?"
