Corpse of officer

The records on the sand table are very detailed, including fire deployment points, tunnel entrances, ammunition depots, munitions depots, personnel deployment positions, and some miscellaneous locations. Since the marks are all in Japanese, I can't guess them without looking at the locations.

The position pointed by the big head is in the northeast direction of the front of the lake. A small skull and crossbones flag is planted at that point. It is surrounded by four heavy firepower points. There are no other arrangements next to it, which looks very abrupt.

"There's something very wrong with this layout."

Datou also said yes. He pointed to the firepower points and said that they had no military significance at all. It was not like they were on guard against mountain attackers. They seemed to be just for guarding against those points.

While the two of us were discussing, Maitreya's man who went out to search screamed strangely not far away. The rest of the people suddenly became nervous. A few people gestured to move closer. The big head took advantage of the chaos and said quickly in my ear: "One I will find an opportunity to take Zhao Gu away." I nodded.

That location was a separate room. We also followed it and took a look and found that it was a corpse.

I took a quick look and saw that the room was fully stocked with daily necessities. There were bookshelves full of books on the walls. There were desk lamps and radios on the desks. There were even a few bottles of foreign wine on the shelves. Judging from the decorations, they should belong to the captain of the Little Japs. Room.

Lying on the leather chair in front of the desk was a male corpse wearing a dark green Japanese military uniform, holding a slender command knife in his hand. The corpse had its mouth open, its face was sunken, and it had completely dried up into a zombie. The dead skin covering the bones had a layer of white scales the size of the nail of a little finger, which made my skin crawl.

The big head touched me and motioned me to look at the hands of the corpse. The nails would continue to grow after death and were already curled and bent. This was a sign of possible corpse transformation. If not handled properly, the corpse could appear at any time.

I thought to myself that Big Tou was still a detail, but unexpectedly I heard him murmuring from the side: "That command knife is quite expensive, right? There are people in China who specialize in collecting this thing. If his name is on it, it will be even more valuable."

I was so angry that I almost lost my temper at him, and said angrily: "It's worth money, it's worth nothing, and it's not worth anything like a knife. You think it's just a saber and you can sell it for money."

"Isn't it true that only officers can carry swords? Don't think that I don't understand." Datou sneered at my words.

I sincerely encouraged him and said: "The tradition of the samurai sword is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people that not only officers, but also sergeants in the Japanese army were issued sabers. In the end, there were three types of command swords, the 95-style sergeant sword and the 94-style general sword. The swords and the 98-style general swords, the valuable ones you mentioned are the general swords that were surrendered during the Anti-Japanese War."

"You're kidding me, how are the three types of knives graded? I remember that a Russian seller at Christie's sold a general's knife, and it sold for over a million dollars." Datou was unconvinced.

When it came to my expertise, I pointed at the handle and said, "There is not much difference in style between the sabers of Cao Guan, Assistant Guan and General. Look at the back of the handle. The part is called 'ape hand'. In fact, they are distinguished by the sword thread tied to the 'ape hand', that is, the tassel, which has different colors and levels. The sword thread of the general officer is gold, the sword thread of the assistant officer is red, the sword thread of the cao officer is blue, and The sword thread of the Type 95 Sergeant Sword is the simplest primary color of leather."

Datou was happy when he heard it, "Then this is the assistant officer's sword."

I nodded. The group that occupied Hushan at that time was a regiment. The captain of the regiment was usually at the level of a lieutenant colonel, which is equivalent to the leader of the regiment. Judging from the "eyes" and "ape hands" of this sword, it looked more like an Osaka sword. , should be a higher level in the regiment, equivalent to the brigade commander level in China.

If nothing else happens, this man may have been the highest-ranking commander among the Japanese troops occupying Hushan at that time.

"Looking like this, I can't fight him, so I'll have a caesarean section." Datou wanted to get the knife, but the person next to him made it difficult to do so.

"Brother, that's called seppuku, but..." I frowned and said, "That's not right. The Japanese do like to commit seppuku. If they can't be beaten, or they get angry or something, they will commit seppuku. But look, they The knife was so clean, there was no blood on it."

"Hey, it's true." Datou looked up and down in surprise, "It's true, not really. What's going on? Did you wipe half of the brain with the knife and get congestion?"

I was dumbfounded by Datou Qingqing's strange brain circuit, so I said to him: "It seems that this guy really wanted to commit seppuku, but he didn't have time to do it, so he died for some reason."

"Isn't that just cerebral congestion?" Datou still firmly believed in his idea.

I saw that Maitreya's men were going to dig up the body, so I quickly stopped him and said, "Don't move, be careful when picking up the body."

 "stop!"

Although Maitreya's gang is fierce, they are not like the Cao family's gang of local masters. They don't abide by the underground rules at all and have no taboos. Such recklessness will kill people.

I went over to block a few of them, "Don't move. Can't you see there's something wrong with this body?"

Maitreya's men were very interested at first, but after hearing what I said, they put down their hands. One of them picked up a cigarette, looked up at me, and muttered: "You really think you are a master, why is this body like this?" If you have any questions, let me tell you, no one here is scared."

"You're blind. This corpse looks like it has a skin disease. Can't you see it? This layer of scales is the characteristic of corpse transformation. Haven't you heard of Bai Ji?"

I have never seen anyone like Big Touhun like Bihun. He is not doting on each other at all.

I was afraid that the other party was really irritated by Da Tou, so I interrupted and said: "There are many reasons why corpses turn into zombies. It was discovered once in Sichuan in the first few years. In fact, there are just a few reasons. The first is the problem of Feng Shui. The five elements of the aura are in conflict. Some kind of mutation will occur. Secondly, there are man-made reasons. After the death of eminent monks, the incorruptible corpses often start to swallow poison before death, and after death, someone will soak the corpse with secret sesame oil and spices, which can also cause the corpse to become fossilized.

Others are very rare and bizarre. They are possessed by spirits, such as the Huangpizi Fairy in the Northeast, or nourished by dragon energy from famous mountains and rivers. These reasons can cause the corpse to become fossilized and not rot. "

A person like Maitreya is ruthless and decisive, but the disadvantage of his character is that he is very suspicious and does not trust anyone. After I said this, he really hesitated, patted the guy on the shoulder, told him not to cause trouble, and touched his bald head. He looked at me: "Second Master, what kind of person do you think this person is?"

As long as Maitreya can feel that he needs us, he will not risk getting rid of us. At least we will be safe before going out.

"First of all, it must not have been poisonous, because the body has not been processed, and there will be black spots on the poisonous corpse. Secondly, this cannot be an auspicious place, the corpse is almost transformed." I continued.

Now there are only two causes left. One is bad feng shui, and the other is something unclean. To be honest, neither one is good for us. Coupled with the bizarre cause of death of the captain, my scalp started to feel numb. A very bad premonition came to mind.
