Chapter 64: Everything is ready

At this time, none of the delegates had yet entered the venue, except for them, the reporters of Xinmin Daily, who were the guards and special agents of the special high school in charge of security, and the hall seemed very empty.

At this time, Xu Chengyan will not act rashly, because there are not many people in the hall, and every move will be noticed.

He and the others began to assign work according to the request of Kyosuke Watanabe, and made various preparations before the interview.

Not long after, the representatives outside also began to enter the venue one after another, Zhang Zhiyuan was also in the crowd, walked into the venue, in front of him a spirited old man, dressed in a blue cotton robe, wearing a black satin coat, the appearance is quite similar to Zhang Zhiyuan, obviously his father, Zhang Xingxian, president of the Taiyuan Chamber of Commerce.

Zhang Zhiyuan also saw Xu Chengyan standing not far away at this time, and the two of them glanced at each other, and then turned their heads and stopped communicating.

After a while, Shi Yushan also walked in, he walked with those government representatives, and he also made eye contact with Xu Chengyan, and then separated.

When the time reached eight o'clock, the delegates had already entered the venue, and Kyosuke Watanabe looked at the time and said to Xu Chengyan and the others, "President Ito is about to enter, let's go and greet you." ”

Everyone hurriedly agreed, followed Kyosuke Watanabe to the entrance of the hall, and each of them prepared, Xu Chengyan also held a camera, and everyone was waiting for Takuma Ito, the organizer of the mobilization meeting, to enter.

Soon there was a sound of footsteps in front of him, and a group of people walked in front of him, led by Takuma Ito, the president of Nikko Kaisha.

He is in his forties, not tall, stocky, although his appearance is ordinary, he has two horizontal broom eyebrows, triangular eyes are shining, and his temperament looks very strong.

It's Takuma Ito, that's right! Xu Chengyan had only seen photos before, and this was the first time he had seen Takuma Ito with his own eyes.

There were guards on the left and right in front of Takuma Ito, who stopped the reporters in front of him, and the reporters didn't dare to step forward without permission, because they knew that it was not time for interviews, so they all picked up their cameras and took pictures one after another Xu Chengyan also picked up the camera and took a few photos at Takuma Ito.

Takuma Ito stepped into the venueꓹ Immediately caused a commotion at the sceneꓹ They all got up to greet each otherꓹ Surrounded by everyone, Takuma Ito came to the seat in the middle of the rostrum and sat down, and the guards scattered to the side, looking around vigilantly, ready to respond at any time.

Then several important figures appeared, and even the Japanese military sent several high-ranking officers to participate, led by a major general-level officer.

The puppet government provincial office also sent ministerial-level officials from the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Commerce, all of whom sat on the rostrum like Takuma Ito.

The mobilization meeting officially beganꓹ Takuma Ito spoke first, a high-sounding remark, meaning nothing more than the so-called ***** and the like of official articles.

Then, as time passed, ꓹ The agenda went on step by step, ꓹ Xu Chengyan and the others dispersed and took photos in all directions.

The meeting was able to maintain order at the beginning, but there were too many people in the venue.

By the time the meeting had been going on for about an hour, the order in the venue had become much more diffuse and some delegates had begun to move around because they could not bear their patience.

These people have more or less some strands of relationship, there are acquaintances to meet, naturally to say a few more words, and some people introduce each other, make friends, the hall is crowded, noisy voices are endless.

Xu Chengyan saw that the time was almost up, so he glanced at Zhang Zhiyuan and Shi Yushan, who had long been paying attention to his movements, and then walked towards the corridor next to him.

Zhang Zhiyuan and Zhang Zhiyuan had been waiting for Xu Chengyan's instructions for a long time, and when they saw Xu Chengyan's movements, they each got up and moved closer to him.

There were guards at the entrance of the corridor, but at this time, there were also many delegates attending the meeting in the corridor, so no one paid attention to Xu Chengyan.

Xu Chengyan came to the corridor, and after waiting for a while, Zhang Zhiyuan and Shi Yushan followed.

Shi Yushan also had a gray leather bag hanging on his body, exactly the same as Xu Chengyan's leather bag, but there was nothing in it, the two exchanged leather bags with each other, Xu Chengyan lowered his voice and said: "Yushan, you leave first, Zhiyuan follows me, keep your distance, and be my cover." ”

Shi Yushan nodded, turned around and left, Zhang Zhiyuan followed behind Xu Chengyan, keeping a certain distance.

Xu Chengyan continued to move forward, passed through a corridor, turned a corner, and then walked to the end of the corridor, the innermost is the bathroom, next to the bathroom is the utility room, diagonally opposite is the workshop used by Yuji Murakami and other cleaning staff.

When they were about to get to the bathroom, two middle-aged men walked out of it, looking at the dress that should be government officials attending the meeting, they talked as they walked, and they didn't notice Xu Chengyan coming from the opposite side.

Xu Chengyan entered the bathroom, there was no one in the bathroom, Xu Chengyan stayed for a moment, and then poked his head out, the two men had already walked away just now, only Zhang Zhiyuan was not far away.

Xu Chengyan looked at Zhang Zhiyuan with an inquiring gaze, Zhang Zhiyuan nodded slightly, signaling that there was no one nearby.

Xu Chengyan immediately took an arrow step, came to the door of the opposite workshop, took out the key that had been prepared long ago, opened the door lock, and flashed into the workshop.

Zhang Zhiyuan also came to the bathroom, took out a cigarette, lit it and held it in his hand, and stood at the door of the bathroom to warn Xu Chengyan.

After Xu Chengyan entered the workshop, he came to the locker according to Yuji Murakami's previous description, opened the cabinet with a key with his hands and feet, and took out a package from it from his hand.

Gently put it on the table next to it, open it to view, there are a lot of things needed.

Time was pressing, he didn't delay any longer, took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, got rid of distractions, and began to assemble.

He was originally a master of making time bombs, and he was extremely skilled in assembling them, and he had practiced many times before, at this time, his hands turned quickly, and soon assembled various accessories such as explosives, wires, batteries, and detonators, and finally fixed the timer clock, looked at the time, thought about it for a while, and set the blasting time an hour later, that is, at 10:25.

This time is not before or after, it happens to be the middle and late part of the break in the middle of the meeting, and this time period, Takuma Ito is most likely to stay in the lounge.

Xu Chengyan gently put this time bomb into the leather bag, this mechanical time bomb stability is not high, once it is successfully assembled, it cannot be violently vibrate, otherwise there is a danger of triggering.

He zipped up his purse, slung it lightly over his shoulder, then cleaned it up in twos and threes, and locked the locker.

Walked quickly to the door, and was about to open the door, when he heard three violent coughs outside, which were Zhang Zhiyuan's warning voice.

There is a case! Xu Chengyan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly leaned sideways against the wall, listening to the movement outside.

There was not much space in the hallway, and the sound came very clearly, and a sound of footsteps approached, and a few more people walked into the bathroom opposite, and after a while, these people left again.

Xu Chengyan grabbed the doorknob, gently opened a gap, looked at Zhang Zhiyuan diagonally opposite, nodded slightly, signaled safety, and then hurriedly walked out of the workshop, and locked the door of the workshop.

"You go first, wait for my signal at the door of the break room."

Zhang Zhiyuan nodded and turned to leave.

Xu Chengyan entered the bathroom again, washed his hands repeatedly at the faucet, and then left the bathroom and rushed to the hall of the venue.

When he walked through the corridor again and entered the venue, he saw Bai Sinan coming towards him and asked Xu Chengyan, "Chengyan, where is the bathroom?" I'm sick to my stomach. ”

"Go down the hallway, turn a corner, and the innermost is there!" Xu Chengyan pointed back and pointed in the direction.

Bai Sinan trotted away when he heard this.

After the bomb was assembled, all that remained was the question of placement, and Xu Chengyan came to the door of the lounge on the right side of the hall unhurriedly.

The door to the lounge was wide open, and you could clearly see the scene inside, only to see that there were already several conference delegates sitting on the sofa resting.

There were also guards standing at the entrance to the lounge, but because the lounge was always open, delegates were not allowed to enter.

Everyone knows that this mobilization meeting is a pretense and a formality, and under the compulsion of the Nikko Society, it is inevitable that they will pay money and food in the end, and many people will not want to do more perfunctory, and they will find a place to rest before they can wait for the rest time.

Xu Chengyan thought for a moment, he needed to find a good excuse to enter the lounge now so as not to be noticed.

Looking left and right, his eyes happened to see a conference delegate not far away, his eyes lit up, he came to the front a few steps, and greeted with a smile: "Hello, County Magistrate Wu!" ”

"Oh, it's Reporter Xu!" The county magistrate Wu looked up and saw that it was Xu Chengyan, and he also hurriedly said hello.

In the past few days, Xu Chengyan and Kyosuke Watanabe have met many government officials who came to Taiyuan from other places to participate in the mobilization meeting, including this Wu county magistrate from Taigu in Jinzhong, Xu Chengyan also interviewed this Wu county magistrate before, and the two of them can be regarded as acquaintances.

"County Magistrate Wu, the last interview was good, and the manuscript I sent was praised by the editor-in-chief, I want to interview you again today, ask a few questions, I don't know if it's convenient for you?"

"Convenient, convenient! Brother, you are too polite, if you have anything, just ask, I know everything! ”

County Magistrate Wu was obviously very happy with Xu Chengyan's interview, he is over 50 years old, his hair has gone gray, even among these deputies, they are all considered to be older, but he is still very enthusiastic about his career, painstaking management, and having the opportunity to show his face in the newspaper is naturally a good thing.

"That's good, uh..." Xu Chengyan looked left and right, looking a little embarrassed.

County Magistrate Wu reacted at this time, there are people around him, and there is no seat for Xu Chengyan, so he can't sit by himself and let the other party stand for an interview, and besides, there are many people here, and it is not a good place for interviews.

"Let's talk in another place!" County Magistrate Wu got up and said.

"Okay, okay, then delay you for a while!" Xu Chengyan pushed the boat down the river, agreed repeatedly, and turned around and made a gesture of please after speaking, which naturally led County Magistrate Wu in the direction of the lounge.

County Magistrate Wu did not doubt it, and Xu Chengyan said with a smile as they walked: "Haha, I'm old, I've been sitting on this hard bench for a long time, and my back hurts, and I'm a little tired. ”

"Where, I think County Magistrate Wu, you are old and strong, and your body is still strong......

The two of them exchanged pleasantries and walked into the lounge.

At this time, there were already several representatives sitting in the lounge, and when they saw two people coming in, they all nodded politely, and one of them knew County Magistrate Wu, and they exchanged a few polite words to each other, and then they sat down.

Next to him, the waiter in charge of the reception handed over tea and fruit, and the two of them began to talk one by one.

Xu Chengyan's eloquence is good, he can speak well, the county magistrate Wu is also an old man in the officialdom, and the two of them quickly chatted about speculation, and after asking a few questions, Xu Chengyan proposed to take a few photos of the county magistrate Wu.

Of course, County Magistrate Wu readily agreed, Xu Chengyan stood up, took a few steps forward, and took the opportunity to look out of the door, giving Zhang Zhiyuan, who had been waiting nearby for a long time, a look, and Zhang Zhiyuan immediately understood.

County Magistrate Wu tidied up his clothes and sat upright, Xu Chengyan turned around and picked up the camera, pointed it at County Magistrate Wu, clicked the shutter, and took a few photos.

During the period, he frowned, as if he felt that the leather bag on his shoulder was a little in the way, so he naturally took off the leather bag and put it at his feet, and then took pictures of the county magistrate Wu.

At this moment, there was a crisp "pop" sound outside the door of the lounge, which was the sound of glass falling to the ground and shattering, followed by an "oops"!

The voice was outside the door of the lounge, and everyone in the room heard it clearly, and they all subconsciously looked out of the door.

At the moment when everyone shifted their attention, Xu Chengyan gently pushed the leather bag under the sofa next to him with a flick of his foot.

At this time, outside the door of the lounge, Zhang Zhiyuan's clothes were half wet, and a waiter with a tray in his hand opposite him, with an anxious look on his face, bowed again and again, and kept apologizing with an unskilled Chinese in his mouth: "I'm sorry, sir, please forgive, please forgive ......"

Zhang Zhiyuan touched his wet clothes, shook his head helplessly, waved his hand, and said, "It's okay, I didn't pay attention, you don't have to care......"

Immediately Zhang Zhiyuan turned around and left, the waiter cleaned the glass fragments on the spot, and quickly cleaned up, this little episode happened quickly and ended quickly, and did not attract too much attention from the people around him.

Xu Chengyan then took pictures of County Magistrate Wu, and the two talked for a while, and then he found an excuse to leave the lounge.

Before going out, I glanced back, because the sofas in the lounge were all leather large sofas, and they were leaning against the wall, and a leather bag was pushed underneath, covering it very tightly.

Seeing that there were no flaws left, Xu Chengyan was sure in his heart and left the lounge quickly.

Shi Yushan was nearby, and the two of them signaled to each other, and each came from a different direction to an inconspicuous corner to converge.

Shi Yushan didn't speak, but asked with his eyes, Xu Chengyan nodded slightly, indicating that everything was going well.

Shi Yushan was sure in his heart, a trace of joy flashed in his eyes, and he immediately handed the leather bag in his hand to Xu Chengyan quickly.

Xu Chengyan took it and hung it on his shoulder, turned around and left, Shi Yushan also returned to his seat, his eyes looked at Xu Chengyan's figure from time to time, waiting for his instructions at any time.
