Fort 006 was a fortress-shaped building with a length and width of more than 300 meters. Although the interior area of the building reached 100,000 square meters. But it must be noted that this was nothing for an industrial country. Even if it was not an industrial country, in terms of the scale of a traditional county in China, it was just a "walled city."
Of course, in November 1889, the world's population was less than 1.8 billion, of which 800 million had household registration in the Min dynasty. Based on China's population as a judgment standard, it was inevitable to suspect cheating. Less than 100 kilometers away from Khartoum, Fort 006 was undoubtedly the local political and economic center.
The fort had not experienced war since its establishment, and the few military operations were only to easily wipe out a few bandits and roving bandits. So when a student of a school established by China was attempted to be murdered inside Fort 006, it caused quite a stir inside the fort. The child had been vaccinated, which meant that the child was recognized by China.
"Why would someone kill a child? What did the child do to make someone want to kill him? "The comrades of the public security were discussing at the meeting.
"Did the child steal something from someone else?"
"Stealing something from someone else and they were so ruthless? And it was only ten minutes, and the child was still looking for Teacher Yang. This is unrealistic. What's more, the guard said he didn't see anyone chasing after the child. "
"Then it's a past grudge?"
"Did you notice that the person's goal was to kill? There were no signs of beating on the child. I asked the doctor, and other than the three knife wounds, there were no other injuries on the child. How much hatred did the person have to hate to kill like this? "
…
One of the characteristics of the Min dynasty system was public ownership. In China, it was called "public." One of the characteristics of public ownership was meetings. Since it was public ownership, the core of the meeting was naturally to solve problems. So everyone was talking excitedly. First, they had to contribute to this job, and second, their outstanding performance at this time would naturally be remembered by the leader. The leader also had to solve the problem.
Therefore, when the deputy captain of the public security brigade made a judgment based on the marks on the child's body, everyone agreed. This precise investigation and judgment did outline a situation that was in line with normal people's understanding. A murderer full of murderous intent suddenly attacked a child. Little boys under the age of ten were sometimes annoying, but that was all. A murderer who could kill a little boy under the age of ten must be extremely dangerous. No matter what the child did, it was not to the extent of being unforgivable.
However, this seemingly realistic judgment did not free the public security comrades from their doubts. Instead, it made them even more confused. From all the signs, it could be concluded that the child did not provoke the Chinese. The fortress once thought that it could only control the people inside the fortress, and it also had enough control over the people outside the fortress. Now, a child was injured inside the fortress, but no witnesses could be found after an investigation. This in itself showed that China's control over the fortress was not perfect. Of course, the police were unwilling to accept such a result. What they wanted to solve at this time was to solve the case.
Perhaps God had seen the difficulties of this group of people, the door opened, and the attending doctor, accompanied by the public security personnel, walked into the conference room. It was obvious that the doctor was very tired. He did not take off his light blue surgical gown, and there were still blood droplets on the front of his shirt.
The policeman quickly asked the doctor, "Can the child wake up?"
"I hope he can live long enough." The doctor sounded a little unhappy. It was not that he was angry with the police, but that this life-saving operation was in a bad environment and time was running out. More importantly, the doctor had really never seen such a wound. The wound caused by guns and cannons on the battlefield was completely different from the wound on the little guy's body. The doctor needed to use all his brain to deal with these new problems while racing against the Grim Reaper.
"Doctor, do you have any clues?" The policeman had no choice but to ask the doctor for help.
The doctor rolled his eyes. "You don't know who did it. How could I know?"
The comrades of the police also looked a little embarrassed. It was too much to expect a doctor who was busy in the hospital to solve the case. However, the doctor continued, "What we can be sure of is that the wound was from the top to the bottom. Give me something short. " The doctor explained, but felt that it was difficult to use the words of a doctor to describe it.
The policeman immediately handed a pen to the doctor. The doctor held the pen tightly and made a gesture of raising it high and stabbing it down. At the same time, he explained, "From the wound, the murderer strangled the child's neck with one hand and stabbed him three times in a row with the other."
"But how did the child survive?" The comrade of the police asked. In such a situation, since the murderer had made up his mind and subdued the little guy, it would not be difficult to kill the little guy completely. From the point of view of the police, the murderer only needed one more stab. He had enough time and motive to complete the final blow.
"From the bloodstains on the ground, the place where we saw the child fall to the ground is not where the murderer stabbed the child. There was no blood at the place where the child was found. It must have been dragged there after being stabbed elsewhere. If it was stabbed on the ground, there must have been blood splattered on the ground. "After the doctor finished speaking, he got up and left.
After the comrades of the police watched the doctor leave, they looked at each other a few times. The police chief said, "Let's find out where the child was stabbed."
300 meters was not a very short distance. There were many factories and warehouses inside the fortress. The honey and dairy products from various villages needed to be processed as soon as possible, and the alfalfa needed to be made into hay in a short time. These factories were placed outside the fortress in the past, but there was a serious problem of people being molested in the middle. Therefore, they were placed inside to be processed.
After the police searched around the city, they did not find any bloodstains. In the end, they went to the slaughterhouse where the bloodstains were the most concentrated. Before they went there, many people had a lot of doubts in their hearts. When they reached the entrance of the slaughterhouse, everyone naturally became nervous.
Sharp knives could be seen everywhere, and there were many bloodstains on the ground. Even though there were people who came to wash the ground every once in a while, the bloody scene still made people instinctively vigilant. The comrades of the police had been trying hard to find bloodstains in the fortress. When they saw the scene of the slaughterhouse, most of them felt that there was something fishy going on.
"Has everyone come to work today?" The deputy chief who led the team asked the director of the slaughterhouse.
"Everyone is here." The director of the workshop gave a very clear answer.
"Did anyone leave early?" The deputy chief brought up the next question.
"Yes. A worker named Erdoan suddenly left. " The director seemed to have heard some news. He looked very unhappy, but not too surprised. "That person didn't look like a bad person. He was quite serious about his work."
"Does this worker Erdoan have any good connections here?" The deputy chief continued to ask. Looking at the bloody scene in the slaughterhouse, the deputy chief already felt that this was probably the place where the murderer committed the crime. It was no longer important whether Erdoan was a bad person or not. The key was to find this guy and interrogate him.
"There's a worker named Gosim who is familiar with him. You can ask him first." The director of the workshop looked like he was trying to get rid of the trouble.
Gosim looked like a middle-aged man in his forties. When he was questioned, his face naturally showed a sense of fear. He rubbed his hands anxiously and lowered his head to listen to the questions. However, no matter what was asked, he would only say "I don't know."
This kind of guy made the comrades of the police feel very awkward. Even if they dragged him away and beat him up, he would probably say "I don't know" about the situation of the locals. This kind of troublemaker was very annoying. The deputy chief couldn't help but scare Gosim. "Gosim, we all know that you killed someone. Now that the child is not dead, as long as he wakes up, he will immediately report you! What's your explanation for this? "
The deputy chief saw Gosim's body tremble. When he was about to ask, he heard the alarm from the water tower and the signal tower. Everyone was stunned at first, and then their faces became more and more ugly. This was the highest level of alarm, which meant that all personnel had to go into battle, and the number of enemies they were facing was huge.
The personnel of each department in the fortress had received military training, and the public security was an armed force. After receiving such an alarm, everyone could no longer care about the child. The deputy chief shouted at the workshop director, "Quick! Get these people out of the fortress now! " According to the usual training, at such a time, all outsiders should be cleared out, leaving only the Chinese personnel and the black guards to defend the fortress.
Under the command of the deputy chief, the workers began to set off in the direction of the gate under the leadership of the workshop director. Similar to the employees of the slaughterhouse, the locals of the other factories also began to leave the fortress under the command of the deputy chief.
The deputy chief went straight to the city wall and ran along the tunnel to the top of the city wall. The deputy chief couldn't help but gasp. There were groups of people on the street outside the fortress, and from afar, they looked like colorful centipedes wriggling on the road. The faces of the lookouts changed, and their knuckles began to turn white from holding the binoculars too hard. The comrades of the troops hurriedly pushed the machine guns to the top of the city wall, ready to fight.
The vendors outside the city began to pack up their stalls as fast as possible, and began to flee with their goods. Looking down from above, it was really a chaotic situation.
"Hurry up! Hurry up! "The deputy chief muttered in a low voice. Quickly disperse those useless people, and the troops could start to fight with full preparation. And it could be seen that the enemies in the distance also saw the problem, and the team in front of them began to run. If they couldn't expel the people as soon as possible, these people might still have a chance.
At this time, the deputy chief heard a loud noise coming from the direction of the city gate. With a burst of screams and screams, the locals who had already begun to leave the fortress began to run around like headless flies. The deputy chief was shocked. This was bad. He ran down the tunnel and saw that there were no more Chinese guards at the gate. Other than a group of locals running around, there was no one else in charge.
While he was panicking, a local suddenly rushed to the side of the deputy chief. The deputy chief felt a chill in his lower abdomen, followed by a sharp pain. He looked up at the local, but was surprised to see that under the cloth was a face that had nothing in common with the locals. It was a European face. The deputy chief wanted to shout, but the European skillfully pulled out a dagger and once again stabbed the deputy chief's left chest.
