Chapter 535 On Guns

Chapter 535 On Guns

After some preparation.

Hui Yuan Ai went home alone to find her sister.

The "Metropolitan Police Department Task Force" composed of Lin Xinyi, Fangtani Rei, and Bellmode, none of whom were serious police officers, finally embarked on a journey to Gunma County for on-site investigation.

The first step at the beginning of the journey is naturally to go out, go downstairs, and go to the underground garage.

After arriving at the underground garage, Lin Xinyi habitually took out his car keys and prepared to drive his Toyota sedan.

But Officer Furuya smiled and led him to another car:

"Mr. Lin, Miss Chris, you'd better take my car."

"My driving skills are pretty decent."

"Let me be your driver this time."

"Yeah." Lin Xinyi didn't insist.

There were only three of them, so there was no need to drive two cars.

What Rei Furitani prepared this time was an off-road vehicle with a very powerful appearance. Compared with his own civilian Toyota sedan, it was obviously more suitable for this trip to the mountains of Gunma Prefecture.

So Lin Xinyi and Belmode got into Officer Fanggu's car together.

And they didn't know until they got on the bus

Officer Furitani insisted on driving his own car, not only because his car was better, but also because his car contained a lot of equipment he had prepared for the operation, and it would be troublesome to move it——

Because he had seen the quality of the on-site report in advance, he had already prepared for the journey back to the on-site investigation.

Not to mention some of the mountaineering equipment and outdoor supplies.

The most eye-catching equipment is the gun.

"So many guns."

Lin Xinyi was stunned by the "luxury interior" full of virtues in the car:

In fact, the number of weapons in the car is not large, but the variety is extremely complete.

There are everything from pistols, rifles, submachine guns to shotguns, meeting the various gunfight needs of car owners in different usage environments.

These guns are also neatly and discreetly placed under the seats within reach of passengers, solving the last decimeter problem for users to retrieve and use guns, and realizing a short, smooth and quick end-to-end connection between users and firearms in an emergency. Quick response.

"I'm going to investigate this time."

"Do you need to bring so many weapons?"

Sitting in this mobile arsenal, Lin Xinyi was a little nervous.

He felt that they were not going to Gunma County to investigate a case, but rather to go shopping in Los Santos.

"Haha. Don't worry."

"This is just my professional habit."

"We went to Gunma County to investigate this time as the Metropolitan Police Department's investigation team. Apparently we have nothing to do with the Japanese Public Security Bureau, so we shouldn't get into any trouble."

What Officer Furuya said makes sense.

No one would take action against some "ordinary criminal police officers" who were simply responsible for investigating cases.

Whether it's a black organization or any other opponent.

"But..." Officer Furuya shrugged, "It's better to be prepared."

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, if we are really unlucky and encounter something that requires the use of a gun."

"Our police also have sufficient security forces to ensure the safety of you and Miss Chris."

"'Sufficient security force'." Lin Xinyi was stunned for a moment: "'Did your police also dispatch additional security personnel for this operation?"

"No no no"

"Mr. Lin, you misunderstood what I meant."

"I said 'adequate security force'."

Officer Fangtani showed a restrained smile:

"That's me."

Lin Xinyi: "."

Even though he knew that the agent in front of him had extraordinary skills, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth:

"only you?"

"I'm enough on my own."

Officer Furitani made a Japanese Rambo sound.

Lin Xinyi was speechless.

Officer Fang Gu was not in a hurry to drive off, but said to Lin Xinyi and Belmode in a relaxed tone:

"If you are still worried, you can also pick up a gun and bring it with you."

"Although there is a high probability that it will not be used, having a gun is better than not having one."

"correct."

After saying that, he smiled at Lin Xinyi again and said:

"Mr. Lin, I see that you have a legal gun license registered in your file."

"You are also a gun enthusiast, so you should be good at shooting, right?"

"Well, my marksmanship is ahem."

"Compared with you, Officer Furitani, there should still be some distance."

Lin Xinyi avoided this topic very "humbly".

Then he lowered his head and picked through the mobile arsenal, and finally picked out a handful at random.

The shotgun that requires minimal marksmanship.

This shotgun is different from the common long-barreled shotgun. It is about half the length of an arm and looks particularly short and lean.

"What kind of gun is this?"

Lin Xinyi asked curiously.

"This." Officer Furuya was about to answer.

However, Belmode glanced at it casually and rushed to answer:

"It looks like this is a sawn-off shotgun modified from a Remington M870."

"Furthermore, the barrel length of this gun is shorter than any M870 derivative model on the market. The purpose should be to reduce the size and maximize portability and concealment."

"I think this should be a special model customized by the Japanese police for their own agents, right?"

"That's right." Officer Furitani nodded in approval: "This is indeed a customized model used internally by our Japanese police."

"However, you can actually tell at a glance that this is a modified version of the M870."

Most girls don't understand this.

Just like how it is difficult for boys to distinguish a red lip number.

So when he saw Belmod describing the model of the gun in detail, Officer Fangtani couldn't help but feel a little curious:

"Miss Chris, it seems you know a lot about guns too!"

"Of course, I'm a true Southern girl."

Belmode smiled like a red-necked girl.

She makes no secret of the fact that she is proficient in firearms, and is not afraid of arousing others' suspicion.

The reason is also very simple, it’s still the same reason:

Who doesn’t have some amateur skills these days?

High school students can learn to shoot guns, defy bombs, and fly helicopters in Hawaii.

Isn't it normal for her, a true American who grew up in the air of seed oil, to know some marksmanship?

Officer Furuya did not doubt this.

Belmod, on the other hand, struck while the iron was hot and asked Officer Shitani around the topic of firearms with great interest:

"Officer Furuya."

"Speaking of which, I'm really curious as to what weapons you secret agents usually use!"

"Are there any of those weird things in movies?"

She pretended to be a gun enthusiast and quietly attracted the other party to discuss it with her.

"Of course it's not as exaggerated as in the movies."

"In most cases, we use common military and police equipment, but we are more free to choose, so we can use whatever is convenient."

This was just insignificant information to the agents, so Officer Furitani did not keep it secret.

Then Belmode asked curiously:

"Officer Fangtani"

"As an agent, what kind of pistol do you usually like to use?"

She was having an irrelevant chat with the other person on the surface.

But in fact, the exploration of Jianggu Zero has already begun on a seemingly unimportant topic——

Now, Officer Fangtani was completely unprepared for them, and the question didn't seem to be confidential or sensitive at all, so it was very likely that he would subconsciously speak his mind.

And what kind of pistol does he like?

This is actually a very important piece of information.

Because members of the organization are particular about carrying guns.

As a highly organized paramilitary terrorist organization, the thugs outside the "winery" are all trained uniformly by the organization and equipped with the same style of pistols.

And what these minions use is TT-33 produced by Sulian.

Because Sulian had just been devoured and disintegrated a few years ago, it was still in a state of total economic collapse under "shock therapy".

In order to make money, the military industry department, which has no money to eat, even steals nuclear materials. Gadgets like firearms are sold out in tons and tons.

As a result, a large number of pastry-made firearms flowed into the international arms market. With the advantages of large quantity, high quality and low price, they defeated competitors from all over the world and became the darling of the underground black market and the partner of criminals.

In all the gun-related cases that Lin Xinyi encountered before, the murderer used a crisp TT-33 pistol bought on the black market.

(This is also the most commonly used gun for gangsters in the original Conan games)

In this way, this gun has almost become a "street gun" on the bad streets, and it has become the first pistol for young Japanese criminals.

And precisely because of the widespread popularity and large-scale appearance of TT-33 in the Japanese criminal world, it is most difficult for the police to trace the source of the gun when using this crispy pistol to commit crimes.

Not to mention, you can save money by buying Sulian products.

Therefore, the organization uniformly equipped the peripheral minions with TT-33s bought on the black market.

Unless these thugs have nothing to do and spend their own money to buy guns, they have no choice at all about their own weapon models.

But the core members of the organization are different:

Those core members are well paid, have high authority, and have great freedom. They can use whatever they want, and the organization will arrange it for them.

Therefore, they all have their own hobbies in choosing guns - the models of guns are different, and they have even become their own signature features.

For example, Gin loves the Beretta M92F.

Browning M1935 is the preferred vodka.

Ireland loves the SIG-P220.

Bourbon carries his HK P7M8 with him wherever he goes.

As for Belmode himself, he is particularly fond of gadgets such as Browning M1906 and Walter PPK that are compact and easy to hide.

Now she has roughly determined the scope of Officer Fangtani's position in the organization:

Members of the organization operating in the Tokyo area have free movement rights and strong fighting skills. They are suspected to be core members with code names.

If we could learn more about what kind of pistol he liked, it might help further narrow down the scope of the investigation.

If what he likes is a relatively unpopular model, the effect will naturally be better.

And you can't tell this by looking at it.

Because the other party is now operating as "Police Officer Furuya", he may not necessarily bring the pistol he uses in the organization.

You still have to rely on clichés to elicit subconscious answers from the other party.

If it matches his current gun, check this model.

If they are inconsistent, check both models.

If you can find it in the end, you'll earn a lot of money. If you can't find it, there's nothing wrong with trying.

In short, as a professional intelligence officer, Belmode is very good at obtaining intelligence from these seemingly meaningless and trivial information.

And at this moment.

Officer Furuya seemed completely unprepared for her temptation.

Without thinking, he answered Belmod's question:

"My favorite pistol is"

Belmod pricked up his ears in anticipation.

Then

"etc!"

Lin Xinyi, who had been silent just now, suddenly shouted:

"I thought of it!"

"." Belmod's smile froze:

What did you think of? !

"I thought of a question."

Lin Xinyi completely forgot that the biggest purpose of his operation was to test the identity of Officer Jiang Gu.

He just held the short M870 shotgun in his hand and asked thoughtfully:

"In this case, the murderer also used a shotgun."

"Do you think they will use this kind of sawn-off shotgun or that kind of long-barreled shotgun?"

"." Belmod was speechless for a while:

If you are asked to come out to solve the case, do you really only remember that you are a policeman?

No wonder he had cooperated with Officer Furigu twice before, but nothing was found.

"Alas" she sighed helplessly in her heart.

But Belmod still followed Lin Xinyi's train of thought and answered his question:

"Did the murderer use a long-barreled shotgun?"

"This kind of truncated shotgun is probably not easy to get in Japan."

Japan is also a country that strictly controls guns.

Ordinary people can get some smuggled Sulian pistols from the black market, which is considered a good deal.

If you want to get a big guy with the power of a shotgun, you have to get a shortened version, which is not an easy task.

“According to our police data”

Officer Fangtani also echoed:

"In the shotgun shootings that have occurred in Japan over the years, almost none were committed with short-barreled shotguns."

"Because this kind of sawed-off shotgun is really difficult for ordinary people to get."

"The shotguns that appear most frequently in those shootings are still various hunting rifles."

Although Japan has a strict ban on guns, it has relatively loose control over hunting guns.

Therefore, there are a large number of shotguns kept by the private sector, and all of these shotguns that can be purchased from normal channels are bulky long-barreled shotguns.

"Yes," Officer Fangtani analyzed: "The murderer probably used this long-barreled shotgun."

"This makes it easier to understand his actions in taking the shell casings from the scene."

Although it is easy for civilians to obtain shotguns, the bullet mark data of these legal shotguns are recorded with relevant departments.

If the murderer used a legally registered shotgun, what if he didn't take the shell casings away from the scene?

The police can find the murderer directly from the bullet mark characteristics reflected on the bullet casing.

Following this line of thinking

Since he specifically took away the shell casings, he most likely used a legally registered shotgun.

Otherwise, if the gun he used was a black gun, even if the bullet casings were left at the scene, the police would not be able to find him in the huge crowd.

"Um"

"Since this guess is the most likely."

Lin Xinyi thought about it carefully and said:

"Then I think the murderer should have known the deceased."

"Not only do they know each other, but they are also familiar with the location of the crime scene——"

"It's possible that they arranged to meet there."

"This" Officer Jiangu was a little unable to understand Lin Xinyi's out-of-the-box thinking:

It was roughly guessed that the murderer used a long-barreled shotgun. How could we determine that he and the deceased made an appointment to meet at the crime scene.

Instead of meeting outside the mountain in advance and entering the mountain together?

"It's very simple." Lin Xinyi smiled:

"The long-barreled shotgun is too bulky. If you carry it with you, you won't be able to hide it no matter how hard you try."

The murderer carefully cleaned up the scene and did not want the police to discover the true identity of the deceased. This has revealed that he had a social relationship with the deceased and was afraid that the police would find out his identity through the deceased.

The body was found in a deep mountain, and one could only walk by foot.

Carrying a corpse is a strenuous job.

A normal person would not be able to move a corpse weighing more than 100 kilograms from the foot of the mountain into the deep mountains.

Therefore, the crime scene is most likely the corpse scene.

The deceased went into the mountains alive and was shot to death there.

Of course, this conclusion needs to be verified by subsequent on-site investigation - if Lin Xinyi can find the lead shot of the shotgun at the corpse scene, it will further prove his point.

And now, following this most likely guess, we can infer:

"Officer Fangtani, think about it."

"It is assumed that the murderer met the deceased at the foot of the mountain in advance."

"Then if you are the deceased, you see an acquaintance who has a conflict with you over a huge amount of stolen money, carrying an obvious shotgun on his body, and invites you to go with him to the deep mountains and forests to have a 'private' conversation."

"Do you still dare to enter the mountain?"
