Sitting in the hotel room, Fang Lang unconsciously lit a cigar.
I don’t know when it started, but Fang Lang, who used to not smoke, has slowly become addicted to cigarettes.
Especially when you need to use your brain to concentrate on thinking about a problem.
I don’t know how long it took.
Zhuang Xintian, who had gone to the top floor to look for the suspect who fired the flare, came back.
“Boss, I didn’t see anyone on the roof.
However, I met three people coming down from upstairs on the stairs, but I was not sure whether there would be someone sending signals among them.
We had no choice but to bring them all down.”
After looking at Zhuang Xintian, Fang Lang waved his hand indifferently and said:
...
...
"It's OK, we don't need to know who sent the signal, this is a matter for the French.
When the time comes, we can just call all these people French.”
"Boss, should we first investigate who sent the signal?"
Seeing Fang Lang looking at him in confusion, Zhuang Xintian quickly explained:
“My main concern is if these people have accomplices in the hotel.
It would be fine if we hadn't been involved at all, but now we have caught the person who sent the signal.
If someone wants to retaliate, will it affect your safety?"
Putting the cigar on the ashtray, Fang Lang thought for a moment and said:
“What you said makes sense, so I’ll leave this matter to you to investigate.
However, we do not have the power to enforce the law here, so we have to be careful about how and when we do things.
Don't give people anything to talk about, understand?"
After hearing what Fang Lang said, Zhuang Xintian was a little troubled. He was a soldier, and he had no problem organizing an attack and formulating a combat plan.
But, isn't it difficult for him to solve the case now?
"This... Boss, I don't have any experience in this area! Why don't we just hand it over to the French?"
Fang Lang looked at Zhuang Xintian with a smile and said:
“What kind of experience does this require?
You have already arrested several people.
You can smell the hands of a few people to see if there is any smell of gunpowder!
The flare is not from an ordinary pistol, it will definitely leave a strong smell.
If they have washed their hands, they can go upstairs and look for traces left by the person who sent the signal!
Like footprints or something.
You can also interrogate a few people to see who was the most suspicious at that time!
Is there any alibi or something?
Oh! There are so many ideas in this survey! You can't be completely ignorant of it!
If that doesn't work, just leave it to the French to investigate.
We just need to be careful, there shouldn't be many rebels in this hotel."
Zhuang Xintian, who had been frowning, brightened up after hearing Fang Lang's words.
“Understood, Boss.
Then I will go check now to see if I can find the suspect?"
Fang Lang didn't expect that Zhuang Xintian would be interested in these things, and he didn't know if he wanted to be a detective.
But Fang Lang doesn't mind that his people are multi-talented.
Soon Zhuang Xintian came back.
"Boss, you are right. One of them had a very obvious smell of gunpowder on his hands.
That must be the signal from this bastard."
Unexpectedly, the matter would be so simple. Fang Lang just said it casually and solved the case directly.
Even Fang Lang himself couldn't believe it.
When did I suddenly have the potential to be a detective?
He smiled and shook his head, then said to Zhuang Xintian:
"Okay, send these people to Colonel Chatham!
We shouldn’t get too involved in what happens next.
We don’t know if there is any hidden secret here.
Don’t let it get to the point where you end up getting into trouble.”
“Ah! Are all three of them handed over to them?
I have already released the other two! Are you worried that they are in cahoots with each other?"
"Are you sure they are not in the same group?"
"cannot."
"That's it, do you have information about those two people?
Is he a resident of the hotel, or someone else?"
"I registered their basic information and they all said they were hotel residents."
"Then report all this to the French!
Were our snipers of any help?"
"Yes, Boss, they sniped and killed three rebels."
"That's good. Remember to tell Colonel Chatham about this achievement.
We still have to leave our names behind when we do good things, understand?"
"Yes, sir."
Watching Zhuang Xintian turn and leave, Fang Lang shook his head helplessly.
It seems that everyone around me needs to learn something!
The brain has started to grow muscles, which is not good. It will be too tiring.
But at this moment, Colonel Chatham was not in the same good mood as Fang Lang.
"You idiots, the enemy has already reached the gate of our headquarters to attack me, and you know nothing about the enemy's situation.
From now on, the whole city is under martial law. You must find these bastards for me. I will hang them."
Colonel Chatham was furious as he sat in the car while a military doctor treated the wound on his arm.
The subordinates around him were silent and dared not make a sound.
They also felt ashamed.
Being blocked at the door by the enemy and trying to kill your superior is something no one can accept.
"Yes, sir. Our men are already tracking those guys down."
“Also, how did they know my whereabouts? My schedule today was arranged at the last minute and no one knew about it.
Why would they ambush me here?
Tell me why."
Colonel Chatham had been through a lot in the war years, so he had his own experience with this kind of ambush attacks.
Directly points out the abnormal part in the middle.
"Sir, could it be that the person you were meeting with leaked your whereabouts?"
Chatham certainly had doubts about this situation, but after thinking about it, he ruled it out.
Because even Fang Lang didn't know that he would suddenly go to see him today.
Moreover, he was very important to Fang Lang, so there was no reason for him to launch such an attack.
If the personnel had already been transferred and did not want to pay themselves and launched such an attack, Chatham could still understand it.
The cooperation has just entered the preparation stage, and it is impossible for everyone to fall out at this time.
As for the few people Fang Lang had, he didn't believe that he had the ability to mobilize so many people to attack him.
The most important thing is that Fang Lang has many people of color under his command.
And the people who attacked him were indeed white people, so they must be Germans.
But to find out who those people are, we need to investigate slowly.
"It can't be theirs. I haven't even informed them that I'm going to meet him today."
The subordinates around me had no idea what was going on either, so they just looked at each other.
One guy said, whether intentionally or unintentionally:
"Sir, could it be that someone in our group accidentally revealed your whereabouts?"
Everyone around looked at the officer with unfriendly eyes.
They all cursed in their hearts. There are so many people here, but no one could think of it. Only you are the smartest one, knowing that it might be one of our own who leaked the information.
How could anyone not know such a simple truth!
But everyone is a suspect in this matter, who would be stupid enough to point it out?
Colonel Chatham knew very well in his heart that this possibility was very high, but he could not say it out loud himself as it would discourage his subordinates.
But now that someone has brought it up, I can just arrange for someone to investigate.
“The possibility you mentioned cannot be ruled out, although I have great faith in our people.
However, in order to prove everyone's innocence, I will arrange for someone to conduct an investigation."
What do you mean by proving everyone's innocence? In the final analysis, you still have doubts yourself and there are problems with the internal personnel.
But this is the superior's right, and they can't say much.
I can only agree and show my approval.
The scene was soon cleaned up.
The bodies of both our side and the enemy have been gathered together and are ready to be loaded into the vehicle and taken back for inspection.
At this time, a soldier came over to report that Colonel Chatham's friend had caught the guy who fired the flare on the roof in the hotel.
Chatham immediately recognized that the person escorting the person over was Fang Lang's guard platoon leader.
"Hello, sir. I am Ensign Zhuang Xintian of the Brazilian Navy, and I have been ordered to escort the suspect of the attack to report to you."
"Thank you! Lieutenant Zhuang, do you mean that this person is the suspect you just discovered who attacked my convoy?"
Zhuang Xintian quickly explained to Colonel Chatham in detail the measures Fang Lang took after the attack.
"You mean, this guy is the one who fired the flare to notify the enemy to retreat?"
"Yes, sir. We blocked him on the stairs when we got to the top floor.
His hands still smelled of gunpowder from firing the flare gun.
So we arrested him straight away.”
At this time, an officer next to him said in a dissatisfied tone:
"Why didn't you immediately arrange for rescue after you knew our commander was attacked?"
"Sir, there were French soldiers shooting outside the hotel entrance at that time, and we were worried that our hasty entry into the battle would cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
However, we have snipers upstairs who assisted you in killing three attackers."
Colonel Chatham glanced at the officer who spoke with dissatisfaction.
I fully understand Zhuang Xintian’s explanation.
If the other party really rushed out, he would really be unsure whether the other party was here to save him or to kill him.
“I understand. Please go back and express my gratitude to Fang for me. I will go to his house in person to thank him after I finish the things on hand.
By the way, please remind him that we will impose martial law in Stuttgart for the next two days and advise him not to go out. "
When Zhuang Xintian heard that there would be martial law, he was surprised that it would be very detrimental to their recruitment work!
However, if someone else is attacked and wants to catch the murderer, it is someone else's right to impose martial law, and they cannot express any objection.
"Yes, sir. I will pass your words on to our commander."
After saying that, he saluted and turned away.
Colonel Chatham pointed to the adjutant beside him and said:
“Interrogate this bastard right now. He is the only attacker captured alive so far.
I must pry open his mouth. I want to know who attacked me."
The French officers around them did not expect that the first people to catch the attacker were not their own.
This made them feel very embarrassed.
He secretly made up his mind to hurry up and dig out all the rebels who attacked his superiors.
"Yes, sir."
