My Partner is Shiina Mashiro

"Now, apart from this plaster flag, probably only the wooden box in front of the envelope is left?"

Liu Sen tossed the wooden box lightly, and there seemed to be something jingling inside the box, and then there was the plaster flag, to be precise, it should be the "Rising Sun Flag", right? It's the same as that salted duck egg "Hinomaru Flag" is still somewhat different.

There seemed to be traces of tampering and graffiti on the flag. When Liu Sen got closer, he realized that they were all things like "Long Live the King of Heaven". It seemed that there was no information, but Liu Sen felt that the flag was not as good as it looked Simple.

"Then the key to the problem is this cryptex."

It seems to be a very old and quite strong iron box. If you look carefully, the word "HT" is engraved on the box. Could it be that this password is someone whose name can be represented by "HT"?

"Honda KouKi"

"Inoue HonKi"

"Hirasawahon"

"Honji Takahisa"

Liu Sen read the names of the four protagonists on the letter softly. Since the box and the letter are put together, it means that these four names should be the key to cracking the code.

The only person who is related to the two letters "HT" is Mr. Honji Takahisa, but the password on the cryptex box is only six digits, which means that the password should not be his name.

"Then try the name..."

While speaking, Liu Sen entered the letters "SaKura" into the switch of the cipher box.

With a "click", the cipher box opened... Sure enough, the director of this box is a passionate young man, and it is not surprising that he would use the name of the girl he admires as the cipher.

And what Liu Sen saw from the box was not only a bottle of iodine, but also a letter that had been put away.

"Honjo-kun, I have put all the keys to the basement in a secret place according to what you said. Don't worry, those guys from Sada will never think of searching there, but that place is likely to be lost. The solution is mine. It has already been written on the military flag. Finally, we have let out a sigh of relief, and we will definitely be able to escape home! - Motoki Inoue."

"Listening to this, it seems that these two people are planning to escape." Mashiro said after thinking for a while.

"I must know some inside information and want to leave this place." Liu Sen nodded, "What I care about is the "key" mentioned in this letter. If I can find that key, I should be able to Find your way out of this place."

Since the letter stated that the solution had been written on the military flag, and a bottle of iodine was specially placed in the cipher box, then the use of this bottle of iodine is self-evident.

"Wow, Sen, are you doing magic tricks? It's amazing. Something seems to appear on the military flag."

Sure enough, exactly as Liu Sen expected, iodine was sprinkled on the military flag, and a special pattern appeared on it.

"It's just that someone used rice soup to draw this pattern on this flag. The starch on the rice soup will turn into a dark substance when it meets iodine. This should be the knowledge of elementary school."

"Elementary school?" Zhenbai tilted his head, "I haven't learned such a thing at all."

Forget it... don't hit Zhenbai's self-confidence, let's see what is on the flag.

"How many round indescribable objects are there under an iron pipe?"

Liu Sen carefully looked at the pattern on the flag, but the pattern was drawn hastily, perhaps because the person who left the signal was in a hurry.

"But this stuff always looks familiar..."

"Sen, this is the shower head over there, right?"

As expected of the master of painting, Zhenbai, even if the pattern on the flag looks like a ghost drawing, Zhenbai can still recognize it at a glance.Following Zhenbai's guidance, Liu Sen came to the row of shower heads, and after a while of groping, a key fell to the ground.

"Where is this key?"

There are only three rooms in this basement, and the first two rooms have been explored. This key can only be used to open the door of the third room.

Although the key and the door lock are very old, fortunately the inside of the lock is not rusted. However, the moment Liu Sen and Zhenbai opened the door, the thing that was illuminated by the cup of mobile phone and presented in front of them still scared them. I broke out in a cold sweat.

"what is this?!"

Liu Sen guarded Zhenbai behind him, and stared vigilantly at the sentence "Bone Skeleton" that appeared in the room.

"Skeleton? It seems that someone died in this room."

Liu Sen held Zhenbai tightly with his left hand, and leaned over the skeleton with his right hand. There was no doubt that it was a white bone. According to his professional knowledge, this person must have been dead for decades.

Although it has been a long time since his death, Liu Sen can still roughly determine the cause of his death. There are several black spots on his skull, which are obviously caused by poisoning. In addition, the medicine bottle that fell on the ground next to the skeleton , Did this person commit suicide by taking poison?

"These things seem to be chemicals. They have been knocked over the ground, and they seem to have a lot of weight."

Liu Sen picked up the bottle on the ground.

"The medicine inside is still clearly visible, and it gives people a feeling that it can still be used..."

If he guessed correctly, these drugs should all have a great background.

"Potassium cyanide...?"

Liu Sen tightened his grip on the bottle.

"Sen, is this really potassium cyanide?" Zhenbai spoke in a hurry.

"If it's really potassium cyanide..."

"Yeah...it's exactly the same poison as Miura Yumiko used."

Why did the poisonous potassium cyanide appear in this unknown small room? Liu Sen has no way of knowing whether the highly toxic potassium cyanide found in this small room and the potassium cyanide used by Yumiko Miura are the same. Made by the same person, and put the bottle of potassium cyanide in his pocket, Liu Sen felt that there was nothing worth staying in this room.

"It seems that there are so many evidences in this room."

Liu Sen looked around the room, except for bones, small pills and a picture on the wall of King Hirohito, the culprit of World War II, there is really nothing worth staying.

Chapter 260 Two

"On August 20, Showa [-], I suddenly remembered the scene where I took the children to see the snow scene half a year ago. Although I said that I wanted to familiarize them with the terrain of the defense zone, they all marveled at the scenery here. They are beautiful, with happy and childish smiles on their faces.”

"I was still a little dissatisfied at first, thinking that this is still the appearance of soldiers participating in the battle... But then I thought about it, isn't this what they should have looked like? I was not a military doctor at first, just an ordinary It’s just a chemistry teacher. The teacher took his students on an outing, isn’t this what it should be like…”

"The instructors are very harsh on these children, and they beat them severely. As a military doctor, I suggested to my superiors to reduce the intensity of corporal punishment, but Major Sada and the others said, "As an imperial soldier, this level of beating is unbearable. Yet?If they were my sons, I would have demanded them so harshly! "."

"..."Soldier"? I am deeply puzzled by this term. Even a soldier should have the right to be a "person". What's more, they are still a group of teenagers. There should be more possibilities."

"When I asked those kids: 'Why do you want to be a soldier? ", their answers were varied. Some said it was because they were patriotic, some said it was to make their parents proud, and some even said they just wanted to send photos of themselves in military uniform to their girlfriends... a group of such flesh and blood children Ladies and gentlemen, they should have become more outstanding talents, why did His Majesty send these children, who symbolize the future of the motherland, into the abyss of war, which symbolizes hell?"

"I can't understand this kind of thing, I spend every night thinking about these impossible questions, and I can't find a good reason to convince myself that all I can do is to give the children who are so hurt. Some ointment, other than that Nothing can be done outside.”

"Three days ago, Inoue-kun finally couldn't stand the torture of this kind of beast fight, and planned to escape from the barracks. Benjo-kun found out about his plan and wanted to escape with him...but soon, Inoue-kun... When he was discovered in the wilderness, Major Sada executed him on the spot, and Honda-kun, who was in despair, shot himself in his barracks."

"This text is probably the last thing I recorded...Two days ago, the emperor read out the surrender edict on the radio, and the headquarters also received an order to retreat, but Hirasawa-kun and Honda-kun were unwilling to evacuate even if they died. They are the only ones among the one hundred young soldiers who have survived to this day. They threatened Satian with guns, trying to force the major to give up surrender, but they were shot to death by Satian's guards... Standing on the spot and witnessing all this, my mind was overwhelmed. blank."

"In the end, I didn't leave with the big troops, but changed the mechanical code of the air-raid shelter gate and hid in. After the big troops left, I cremated the four children one by one. I have buried their ashes. Concentrate it and place it in the command post room."

"As a teacher, I didn't protect my students well... I feel very guilty, but I can't do anything about it. What do these lives mean to Sada and the others? They seem to regard these young lives as talking Howitzers, as weapons that move."

"I think so... If Japan is such a country that pushes young children into hell, then there is no future for this country. The only thing I hope for is the ashes of those four children And be sent back to the country they swore to defend."

The last physical evidence letter has been read, and Liu Sen himself fell into a long silence.

Just like the chemistry teacher in the letter, Liu Sen is not sure about the purpose behind the survival game he has been participating in.

What kind of concept are these fresh lives to the main god? Is it just a one-time consumption ration of pigs, cattle and sheep...or is it a sacrifice that must be sacrificed in order to realize some wish?

"Zhenbai, let's get out of here."

Liu Sen sighed, and confessed to Zhenbai.

"Sen, are you okay?" Zhenbai asked worriedly, because Liu Sen's face was really not pretty.

"I'm fine." Liu Sen shook his head, "I'm just sentimental now and then."

A murderous executioner would be sad because of a letter, which would definitely surprise many people.But Liu Sen never wanted to care about other people's opinions. As long as his family can know the real him, other unimportant things can be left to him.

Pushing open the last door of the basement, both Liu Sen and Zhenbai were taken aback by the sight in front of them.

"Well, I really didn't expect that there would be railroad tracks behind the door."

"Sen, there's still a train, but isn't this train a little smaller?"

"This is a mine cart, right..." Reason made Liu Sen complain, "It seems that there is no power supply system, and it needs to be driven by manpower. It's just that this is not a coal mine. Why is there such a car?"

"It doesn't matter what kind of car it is." Mabai jumped on the thing that looked like a mine cart with some curiosity, "Sen, let's try it out."

"This is not a roller coaster, why are you so happy!"

I'm really convinced of Zhenbai's character of being able to have fun anytime, anywhere. He is obviously investigating a case, but Zhenbai seems to be in an amusement park.

"Sen, I'm going to pull this joystick!"

"Boom!", a loud noise sounded, and the mine cart was advancing rapidly on the track.

"Wait... such a scary noise, does anyone seem to have heard of it?"

Liu Sen poked Zhenbai who was looking at the scenery.

"Zhenbai, do you still remember who said the word "noise"?"

"I remember." Zhenbai raised his hand and replied, "It was the security guy who said it."

"He said that Yuihama Yui sneaked into Sobu High at about 10:30 that night, and heard a strange loud noise in the small park."

In other words, around 10:30 on the night of the incident, could anyone have used this track? !

Liu Sen and Zhenbai wandered around this underground facility in a mine cart, and they are almost familiar with the terrain here. In fact, it is not very complicated. According to the compass on the mobile phone and the number of compass steps recorded in the mind , can almost draw a rough map.

"There are two forks in the underground facility, one leads to the student dormitory, and the other leads to the basement where Yui Hihama and Hikigaya Hachiman were killed..."

Zhenbai drew a rough map of the basement track according to Liu Sen's words, and Liu Sen, who was holding the circuit map, was thoughtful and didn't know what he was thinking about.

"So we are actually at the second exit?"

Liu Sen said thoughtfully.

"Based on the number of steps, it seems that the exit leading to the student dormitory is blocked."

"So what are we going to do now?" Mashiro asked curiously.

"Let's investigate this weird room first."

Liu Sen responded to Zhenbai, took Zhenbai's little hand, and walked slowly in the small room under the second exit.

"Is this a diesel generator?"

Liu Sen touched a green machine that looked like a locomotive.

"Such a big guy is unlikely to be moved in on purpose. In other words, is this something left by the Japanese? What is the purpose of placing a diesel generator in such a place?"

"And there's a strong smell of diesel in the air, which means it was used not long ago?"

There is also an oil barrel matching the diesel generator, but this oil barrel makes Liu Sen frown.

"Sen, what's wrong with this oil barrel?"
