At this moment, the pedestrians on the street were terrified by the sudden gunshot and had already hidden far away. The scene of the assassination, the entrance to the department store, was completely deserted, with not a single passerby passing by.
Although Iwai nosuke was unhappy, he still had to continue his work. He needed to investigate the assassination scene and find valuable information to proceed with the next steps in the investigation.
He turned and strode quickly to the bodies of Yu Xingsheng and the others. Some of the agents around him had already begun their investigation, working busily and nervously, taking pictures of the scene and recording necessary information.
After they finished taking photos, Iwai Nosuke began to carefully examine the bodies.
At this moment, Morita Yuki, who had already been bandaged by his companions, looked sadly at Mitani Yosuke lying on the ground beside him. He couldn't help but feel sad. Mitani had been very nervous all day. He seemed to have foreseen his fate. But despite his careful handling, he ultimately could not escape the clutches of death.
He raised his head again, staring fiercely at Iwai Nosuke, who was examining the body of the Chinese agent. The hatred in his eyes could no longer be concealed. This time, Iwai Nosuke had used his position to settle personal scores and almost took his life. Although he had escaped by chance, would he be so lucky next time?
We have to find a way; we can't just sit here and wait to die. At the very least, we can't work under Iwai nosuke anymore.
At that moment, a vehicle arrived, and two agents put Morita Yuki into the car to go to the hospital for treatment. The bullet in his shoulder needed to be removed as soon as possible, otherwise his life would be in danger.
Iwai nosuke naturally wouldn't pay attention to Morita Yuki's thoughts. To him, Morita Yuki was just an insignificant nobody, and he didn't need to care about him at all.
He began to carefully examine the bodies of the four Chinese agents, but there was not much information left on them. The Chinese agents were clean, with nothing but Browning pistols and magazines in their hands. There were no other items, not even a pack of cigarettes or a box of matches. After all, they were well-trained agents who were meticulous and did not leave Iwai nosuke any further clues to follow up.
After Iwai nosuke finished his inspection, he found no valuable clues. Disappointed, he stood up and was about to order the team to retreat.
Suddenly, Iwai no Susuke felt that something was wrong, and he thought about it carefully!
Hair! Yes, hair!
He quickly turned around, came to one of the corpses, squatted down, and examined it carefully. He soon found that the hair of one of the corpses was very neatly combed and had been cut, especially at the nape of the neck and the temples, where the hair roots had been shaved clean. It was clear that the hair had just been combed and cut.
He carefully touched the roots of his hair and felt them. He found that the hair was very smooth, and judged that the haircut should be done within the next day or two.
Because human hair grows very quickly, freshly cleaned hair roots will feel prickly to the touch within just one or two days.
Iwai nosuke quickly went to another corpse. This corpse was in the same condition as the previous one, with its hair neatly combed. He squatted down and examined it carefully. When he touched it, it felt very smooth. This person had also combed and cut their hair within the last day or two, probably around the same time as the previous person.
So Iwai nosuke reached out and pulled out the collar of the corpse's shirt, carefully examining it. As he expected, he found a few stray hairs in the collar.
He then checked the cleanliness of the collar. Although some of it was soaked with bright red blood, it was still clear that the collar of the shirt was clean and white, without any human oil stains. It was a shirt that had just been washed.
This indicates that the person's hair was just combed today. If it were yesterday, the stray hair would not have remained until now, and the person would have taken away these remaining hair strays when changing their shirt.
Iwai nosuke stood up and looked around the street, trying to find a suspicious location.
Their trapping plan had been in the works for a long time, and the bait had been laid out for quite some time. These Chinese agents must have been monitoring Morita Yuki and Mitani Yosuke in this area for some time before finally deciding to take action today.
These Chinese agents must have a hidden surveillance point. Where is this surveillance point located?
Huai Zheng Street is very large, with many locations that can be used for surveillance. However, it is quite valuable that two Chinese agents here both got their hair cut today. Why would they have time to cut their hair while conducting surveillance?
Moreover, the hair was cut cleanly and neatly, indicating a high level of skill. This suggests that the person who cut the hair was a professional hairdresser with excellent skills. This was not a private haircut; it must have been done in a hair salon.
This leads to the most likely possibility that their surveillance point is located in a barbershop.
Thinking of this, Iwai Nosuke turned around and called over several Special Higher Police agents who were waiting nearby, ordering them: "Go and investigate how many barbershops are on this street, then make your move at the same time and arrest everyone inside!"
"Yes, sir!" The agents obeyed and left.
Half an hour later, in a small barbershop on Huaizheng Street, Old Zhao was calmly combing and cutting a customer's hair.
He witnessed the entire assassination attempt by Yu Xingsheng and his comrades. Despite his heartache over the sacrifice of his comrades, he could only force a smile and not show any sign of distress.
This barbershop was a liaison point set up by the intelligence station in the occupied area of Jiangbei. It could not be evacuated until the last moment. Moreover, the sacrifice of all four members of the action team indirectly protected the safety of the liaison point, allowing them to remain in hiding and continue their work.
