Lost and Spy

The body of a Japanese soldier was stored there alone.

This is what was assassinated.

Yuyuki Iwamori specifically ordered this to be done.

One is to make it easier for "Taniguchi Shibu" to check when solving the case.

Secondly, it was used for revenge in order to fail to solve the case.

Yuyuki Iwamori has ordered that if "Taniguchi Shibu" still can't find the murderer within the specified time of three days, then he will send someone to carry the body and carry out the most vicious revenge in Kabanatu!
Meng Shaoyuan had stood in front of the corpse for 10 minutes.

The sergeant named Hirasaki who was ordered to accompany him was obviously a little impatient.

It's just that "Shibu Taniguchi" acted according to orders, and his military rank was much higher than his own, which made Hirasaki afraid to vent his dissatisfaction.

"What do you think?" Meng Shaoyuan asked suddenly.

"me?"

Hirasaki was taken aback: "Your Excellency, I'm not good at solving crimes."

"No, I just want to hear your personal thoughts." Meng Shaoyuan was very stubborn.

Hirasaki could only bite the bullet and said: "There are two knife wounds on the body. The first knife was stabbed from the left rib, making the victim Matsushiro Akira lose the ability to resist. Then, the murderer attacked Matsushiro Akira almost at the same time. The same part was stabbed a second time, directly causing Matsushiro Akira's death."

"His name is Akira Matsushiro."

Meng Shaoyuan really didn't know the name of this unlucky ghost.

He suddenly showed great interest.

He then took out something from his pocket, and slammed it into Hirasaki's left side beside him.

Hirasaki was taken aback.

"do not move."

Meng Shaoyuan shouted in a low voice.

Hirasaki didn't feel any pain.

Meng Shaoyuan quickly came in front of him and slapped him on the heart again.

Only then did Hirasaki see clearly that what the other party was holding was just an ordinary pen.

He looked puzzled: "Taniguchi-san, what are you doing?"

"I'm just doing some experiments." Meng Shaoyuan put away the pen: "I have some doubts in my heart, and I can't get answers."

He didn't say what doubts he had.

What a weirdo.

Hirasaki murmured inwardly.

Meng Shaoyuan's eyes fell on Akira Matsushiro's body again.

Like most Japanese soldiers, Akira Matsushiro was extremely short, about 1.5 meters by visual inspection.

Japan's original conscription system requires Class A soldiers who are suitable for active service and must be at least 1 meters tall.

However, in the later period of the war, the Japanese army could not defend the bottom line of 1 meters.

In order to expand the source of troops, the Japanese army had to drop again and again in the selection of height standards.

Most of the soldiers of the Type A Division of the Japanese Army in the later period were less than 1 meters tall.

Therefore, the Matsushiro Akira in front of him was considered relatively qualified in the Japanese army.

The most direct reason for the general short stature of the Japanese is actually very simple, that is, their diet.

Ancient Japan advocated the middle-earth style, and Buddhism was very popular in Japan. Buddhism advocated no alcohol and no meat, so affected by this, vegetarianism prevailed in Japan.

There is a period in Japanese history where the emperor directly ordered the prohibition of eating meat other than fish, making all Japanese people vegetarian.

Long-term vegetarianism lacks protein intake, resulting in an unbalanced diet.So the Japanese gradually became shorter.

As we all know, Japan was born by the sea.No matter how prosperous it is, it is essentially an island country with scarce resources and a small land area.Most of the land is mountainous and hilly, lacking plains, and it is impossible to develop animal husbandry, mainly fish.

At the same time, due to the lack of protective measures in the past, frequent tsunamis and earthquakes in Japan have caused huge population and resource losses.

Among those who survived, the taller ones had difficulty obtaining enough food, and were gradually eliminated in many natural disasters, so those who survived were all short.

After the U.S. military occupied Japan, they gradually changed the eating habits of the Japanese, which finally made their height no longer that of a dwarf.

1.5 m.

Meng Shaoyuan always felt that his height stood out among the Japanese.

When he was in the Philippines, someone once curiously asked him why he was so tall, and he didn't even look like a Japanese at all.

Every time, Meng Shaoyuan would perfunctorily get over it with some embarrassment.

Meng Shaoyuan also thought that if he could be exposed, it must be because of his height.

He turned to look at Hirasaki beside him.

This guy is estimated to be less than 1.5 meters tall.

Hirasaki also felt oppressed.

He couldn't help but said: "Your Excellency Taniguchi, you are so tall."

"Ah, yes." Meng Shaoyuan has long been used to it: "I am an outlier among the Japanese, and I don't know why, but I have been trying my best to grow taller since I was born.

Hey, sometimes I'm so ashamed of being so tall, I don't feel like a Japanese at all. "

He said so in his mouth, but in Hirasaki's heart, it was full of envy.

If only I could be that tall.

"Songcheng, how did you get assassinated?" Worried that the other party would ask about his height again, Meng Shaoyuan hurriedly changed the subject.

"He's really unlucky."

Hirasaki sighed: "He has a rest today, so he decided to go for a walk."

"To tell the truth." Meng Shaoyuan interrupted him: "When you said this, your eyes kept avoiding, so you must be hiding something."

"Your Excellency, can I hide it from you?"

Hirasaki said with a wry smile: "Actually, I have a good relationship with Matsushiro, that's why Your Excellency Commander asked me to accompany you.

Songcheng had a woman in Kabanatu, a local. Her man died. After seeing her, Songcheng developed her into his mistress.He always goes there every time he takes a break, as long as he brings a little food. "

Meng Shaoyuan frowned: "Why are you hiding this?"

That's right, isn't it normal for these animal soldiers in Japan to find a woman?
"That's an order from Your Excellency the Commander." Hirasaki felt a little helpless: "Your Excellency the Commander thinks it is normal to find a woman, and he does not object to it. But he does not allow a long-term stay with a woman, especially It's a local woman.

He thinks this will lower the resolve of Imperial soldiers and make them more home-loving.And those local women are all humble, and may even be bought by the Americans, so it is easy to betray our information.

But in fact, this order doesn't work, not only in Songcheng, but also many of our companions have taken care of women here, which is not only cheap, but also makes them feel at home. "

Meng Shaoyuan understood.

Now that the war has progressed, those determinations for the Great Japanese Empire and His Majesty the Emperor have become weaker and weaker. More and more Japanese soldiers are beginning to miss home and do not want to continue the war!

All they can do is to put this yearning locally!

Although Iwamori Yuyuki gave the order, in fact, he had no way to stop his subordinates from doing so!
