Chapter 37: Losing a gun is a shame for the police
The days in late autumn are shorter than those in summer. As the fifty-two students circled back and forth in the mountains, the round sun on the horizon passed over the mountains unknowingly.
They were busy for four or five hours, and their only achievement was to rescue their teammates who were stuck in the rock crevices.
At noon, the students gathered at the mountain col again. This time everyone was present, all thirteen teams were present. After asking around, everyone found out that no one had ever witnessed a Fushimi deer—Yoshimura Yu had seen one, but he had no shame to say it.
"Have you searched everything? No one has seen it at all..."
"Did you flee to other mountains?"
"Could it be that Fushimi-san wasn't in this mountain from the beginning? After all, it would be too strange for a student to play the role of the murderer alone? Maybe the examiner is testing our judgment..."
Everyone sat down cross-legged and rested on the spot. Several wise men expressed their opinions publicly, as if they were in control of their wisdom.
The accompanying instructors' fists became hardened when they heard this, and they watched these students pass by Fushimi Shika with their own eyes. As long as a person lowers his head and takes one more look at the grass, he can catch the Fushimi deer. What about ‘we weren’t in the mountains in the first place’… Why don’t you guys just say that the instructor made a mistake?
While we were chatting, someone’s stomach rumbled.
Everyone lowered their heads listlessly. They had not eaten a grain of rice since the morning, and their energy was exhausted from searching the mountains back and forth.
Upon seeing this, the accompanying instructor took out the compressed biscuits he had brought with him and said that this was his only meal.
An hour before the sun sets, that is, at 5:30 pm, the exam ends. Regardless of whether the 'criminal suspect' is caught or not, everyone must set off for the assembly point at Shanyin.
The students suddenly felt a sense of urgency. If this continued, they would all probably fail the exam!
No wonder Instructor Bai Tian said this was the most severe test. Isn’t it too difficult? !
While the students were discussing, Yuan Yuzi also received a pack of compressed biscuits. Her physical strength was drained, and her dull hair was sluggish. She was like a salted fish. She didn't even have the strength to stand up and say thank you. She could only lie on the ground and say Aligado in a difficult voice.
After tearing open the package, Yuan Yuzi took a few bites of the biscuits and drank a few sips of water, her mental energy bar gradually filling up.
After regaining her composure, Minamoto Tamako sat up and said impatiently: "Since no one witnessed it, it means that the flare was fired by Fushimi-san!"
The other students were confused and didn't know why she suddenly said this. Only Yoshimura Yu looked panicked and wanted to cover her mouth.
"I suspect that there is an accomplice of Fushimi-san among the students. Otherwise, where would he get the flare gun?"
Yuan Yuzi's eyes were solemn. She took another bite of the compressed biscuit, her cheeks puffed up like a hamster, and she said vaguely: "Someone must have tipped off the information, so he was allowed to escape the encirclement many times!"
Yoshimura Yu hurriedly retorted: "How is it possible? What benefit does it bring to the candidates to help Fushimi-san escape? Besides, now is not the time to find an undercover agent, right? If everyone is suspicious of each other, how can the subsequent search work be carried out?"
"On the contrary, only by identifying the undercover can we restart the search. Otherwise, we will be repeating the same mistakes and making useless efforts."
Gentamako paused, swallowed the biscuit, licked her mouth, and continued: "And Fushimi-san's accomplices are not difficult to find. We just need to count everyone's flares."
Everyone suddenly realized that their impression of Yuan Yuzi had changed.
The latter usually chatted around Fushimi Deer and rarely spoke to other classmates. Although her written test scores were good, her physical tests were always a mess. In the police academy class where "the strong are respected", Yuan Yuzi is not taken seriously. Everyone just regards her as a cute girl mascot.
But right now, they seem to need a ‘smart person’ to lead the team. Yoshimura Yu still wanted to change the subject, but someone had already taken the lead, counting each other's belongings.
Xiu Ze noticed something strange about him, got closer and asked, "Hey, squad leader, where is your flare gun?"
Seeing other people's eyes focused on him, Yoshimura Yu blushed and defended: "It's not what you think, I didn't tip off the news! It was that guy, that guy actually——"
"That's enough!" Masahiro Shiratada shouted.
Everyone's hearts trembled, Yuan Yuzi was so frightened that half of the biscuit in her hand fell to the ground.
The students turned around, and Masahiro Shirata's face looked horribly gloomy. Xiu Ze moved his buttocks and retreated behind everyone. He felt that the instructor was like an arcade game character turned up high, and his whole body was exploding with anger. It looked like he was very angry.
"As a policeman, it is a shame to lose your gun!" Masahiro Shiratada stood up, walked to Yoshimura Yu, and looked down at him: "A waste like you is not worthy of being a policeman!"
He stretched out his hand, took out the police officer ID card from Yoshimura Yu's breast pocket, took it out and tore it into pieces in front of everyone.
The students were silent, and no one dared to speak for fear of getting into trouble.
Shiratama Masahiro threw scraps of paper into Yoshimura Yu's face and ordered: "Go back to the assembly point and quit this exam! When I go back, I hope to see your withdrawal application."
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
The latter's mind went blank. He knelt on the ground, intending to kowtow to apologize and ask the instructor to give him another chance. But unexpectedly, Masahiro Shiratada directly sentenced him to death.
"I-this... is just a flare gun... just for practice..." He murmured softly.
Shiratama Masahiro bent down, his stern face full of anger. He looked straight into Yoshimura Yu's eyes and poked his chest with his finger: "Sooner or later, this naive idea will kill you, and sooner or later it will affect the people around you."
After speaking, regardless of Yoshimura Yu's response, he turned around and looked around, indicating that the other students would continue the exam.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and cast sympathetic glances at the lost Yoshimura Yu.
Minamoto Tamako also felt that the squad leader was pitiful, but after thinking about it, she felt that the incident of throwing the gun was indeed serious, and it was normal for Yoshimura Yu to be judged to have failed.
I just don’t know why Instructor Baitian lost such a temper...
wrong! Now is not the time to pity others! If Fushimi-san is not caught, she might end up like the monitor!
Yuan Yuzi waved her hand, signaling everyone to look at her. She held up half a biscuit as a baton and said seriously: "Everyone, listen to me. It only takes 51 people to search for small and medium-sized mountains in three hours at the fastest. By properly setting up observation points and liaison personnel, we can Do it!”
Seeing no one objected, she continued:
"Based on a simple geometric relationship, assuming that the height of the human eye from the ground is h, the unit is meters; the visual distance d, the unit is kilometers, which can be estimated by the formula d = √13h. For example, the distance between the human eye and the ground is 1.7 About meters, then the ultimate visual distance is about 4.7 kilometers..."
"Okay!"
Xiu Ze interrupted: "Stop talking, just tell us what to do."
