Chapter 66: The Aftermath on the Spot
Near the Rixing Club, Chu Guangji and Cao Ruian were sitting in a teahouse, watching the pedestrians coming and going on the street outside.
Cao Ruian said with some concern: "There are plainclothes people everywhere here, you better go back first, I'll stay here and wait for news." ”
Today is the day of the operation of the Third Intelligence Group, and the explosion is imminent, Chu Guangji is really not at ease, so he came to the vicinity in disguise, just to observe the movement nearby.
But they didn't expect that the Japanese had done such a tight job of security, and several streets around the Rixing Club were covered with plainclothes and spies, which made Cao Rui anxious, for fear that Chu Guangji's safety would be wrong, and repeatedly persuaded Chu Guangji to leave first.
But Chu Guangji refused, he motioned out the window and said, "Don't be too nervous, we don't have writing on our heads, don't we just listen to a movement, and I won't worry about going back." ”
Speaking of this, his tone paused, and he sighed lightly: "Ryan, did you say that I was in a bit of a hurry, and now I really regret it, and I shouldn't agree to Chengyan's action this time." ”
Cao Ruian understood Chu Guangji's mood, the members of the Third Intelligence Group were now trapped in the venue, and the success or failure was unpredictable, and he couldn't complain that Chu Guangji was looking ahead and hesitating here.
In fact, Cao Ruian is not like this, don't look at the current intelligence station stirring up wind and rain in Taiyuan City, but in fact, the strength is not strong.
The intelligence station that had just been set up was just put together, and as soon as the grass platform was erected, the action team was wiped out in the first operation, and the captain Dai Yingjie was only spared, and now he is still recuperating outside the city, and he can no longer count on it in a short time.
The remaining three intelligence teams together are only a dozen people, and they all rely on Xu Chengyan to shoot one after another, and every time they have major gains, they can have such achievements as they are now.
If there is a problem with the third intelligence group in this operation, it will be a heavy loss that is unbearable for the intelligence station, not to mention that Xu Chengyan is still the most valued student of Chu Guangji.
However, at this time, he still said with relief: "You don't have to worry too much, Chengyan's ability to act is outstanding, and the design plan is thorough, there should be no problem, at least, there is no problem to retreat." ”
"Well, I hope so!"
Chu Guangji raised his hand and looked at the time, he didn't know the time of the blasting, because this required Xu Chengyan to set it himself according to the situation at the scene, but the more this happened, the more uncertain Chu Guangji's heart was.
Just when they were worried and suffering from gains and losses, suddenly a dull sound came, because of the distance, the sound was not loud, but Chu Guangji and Cao Ruian were both experienced old agents, and they could hear it at once, this was the sound of explosives exploding.
"It's ringing! Is it ringing? Chu Guangji was overjoyed at first, and then looked at Cao Ruian.
Cao Ruian also heard this voice clearly, nodded heavily and said: "Yes, it is definitely a blasting sound, they successfully blasted, but I don't know what the effect is?" I hope Ito Takuma can be solved! ”
"Okay, as long as it can be sounded, it will be half the success, and at least it can make the mobilization meeting yellow." Chu Guangji's heart was a little settled, and he suddenly reacted and quickly got up.
"Quick, let's hurry up, they will block the streets in a while, and they won't be able to get out any later."
Chu Guangji expected it well, just as they left on the front foot, news came from inside the Rixing Club, the police who were originally patrolling the streets immediately blew the whistle, the armed police began to drive pedestrians to set up checkpoints, block the streets, plainclothes and spies also showed their identities and began to arrest people who thought they were suspicious.
The news of the bombing of the Nikko Club and the assassination of Takuma Ito was like a boulder thrown into the water, which immediately caused an uproar in Taiyuan City.
After receiving a phone report from Yamada Taitomo, he couldn't believe his ears, he never thought that someone would dare to assassinate Takuma Ito, this is a high-powered big man, that is, the head of the intelligence department in charge of various ministries in Shanxi, and his status is quite inferior.
If he was really killed, the consequences would be too serious, and Aka Quartz Tree, who knew the stakes, rushed to Nikko Kaisha with people as soon as he put down the phone.
As soon as I entered the gate of the club, I asked Yamada Taitomo, who was maintaining the scene, "How is President Ito doing now?" ”
"He was unconscious and has now been sent to a military hospital for treatment." Yamada Otomo replied cautiously.
Hearing that Takuma Ito was not dead yet, Aka Quartz Tree felt a little relieved, but in a blink of an eye, his face became more serious, and he asked sharply, "What the hell is going on?" With so much security at that, you can still put bombs under your noses, are you all dead? ”
Yamada Otomo had already thought of his words at this time, and quickly explained: "The preliminary judgment is that there is a problem within the club, the bomb was placed in the lounge of the venue, and the time of the explosion was also the break time of the meeting. ”
When Ming Shishu heard this, he nodded slightly, he also had a plan in his heart, since the matter has already come out, then he will face the accountability and investigation from the North China headquarters, and the reason why he is so rushed to clean up the mess is because as the director of the Chinese intelligence department, this kind of thing must come forward no matter what, and it is impossible to hide.
More importantly, he should seize the initiative and put aside the relationship between the special high school and the special high class in the investigation, so as to minimize the impact of this matter.
At this time, hearing Yamada Otomo say this, it was also in line with his heart, his face softened slightly, and then asked, "What about the casualties?" ”
His question made Yamada Otomo's face suffocated, and his mouth squirmed for a long time, but he didn't speak.
"Yaga!" Aki Quartz Tree's heart sank, and he had already expected the result to be not optimistic.
Sure enough, after Yamada Otomo reported the casualties, Aka Quartz's mood was even worse.
In addition to Takuma Ito, who did not know life and death, Motora Matsuki, the head of the management department of Nikko Club, was killed on the spot, and it was because he was in front of Takujin Ito at that time and withstood most of the impact, which allowed Takuma Ito to not die on the spot in such a violent explosion, and retained a glimmer of life.
However, because it was a break time, a total of 10 delegates and two attendants in the lounge were all killed on the spot, including two mid-lieutenant officers of the military, three county magistrate-level officials, and several representatives of the Chamber of Commerce from other places.
There were also three people near the lounge, who were seriously injured like Takuma Ito, and two puppet government officials were killed by a crystal chandelier, seriously injuring two people.
In this way, there were 12 delegates who died on the spot, 3 people were killed and 6 people were seriously injured, and more than 10 other people were lightly injured.
You must know that the identities of these people are not ordinary people, they have more or less influence in all sides and places, and it is really difficult to explain to the above that they have died so many at once.
"Yaga! These bastards! Aka Quartz scolded through gritted teeth, in this way, even if Takuma Ito can get out safely in the end, the impact of this explosion will be bad enough.
Yamada Otomo was also uneasy in his heart, and said in a low voice: "The seriously injured have been sent to the hospital for treatment and bandaging, Major General Lai Chuan and several officers of the headquarters, as well as the two ministers of the provincial office have left, and I have detained the other personnel at the scene, waiting for you to deal with them!" ”
Aka Quartz snorted, Yamada Otomo handled it properly, but how to deal with it is also a big trouble, even if these representatives are suspicious, but with so many people, he can't investigate it in a hurry.
Moreover, these people have connections in all aspects of the Japanese government, and it is impossible for them to carry out harsh methods like ordinary people, so the most they can use is to ask for records, so it is difficult to find out the real murderer.
Of course, this is also based on the premise that the murderer is hidden among these people, and he is more inclined to have internal problems with Nikko Kaisha.
"Take me to the scene!"
"Hey!"
When the group came to the lounge, Aka Shishu waved his hand, and the two intelligence officers in charge of technical appraisal behind him hurriedly stepped forward with various testing instruments and began to inspect the scene.
At this time, he saw Kyosuke Watanabe on the side at a glance, so he stretched out his hand to signal, summoned Kyosuke Watanabe to his side, and asked, "Watanabe-kun, are you here too?" ”
Kyosuke Watanabe's image was also quite embarrassed at this time, and he replied respectfully: "Yes, section chief, I am in charge of the coverage and coverage of this food donation campaign. ”
Ming Shishu has always had a good impression of this subordinate, and said encouragingly: "Well, you did a good job in Xinmin Daily, do a good job!" ”
"You've won a prize!" Kyosuke Watanabe was flattered and hurriedly bowed.
Ming Shishu then ordered: "Now, you take your reporters from Xinmin Newspaper to leave first, today's events must be tight-lipped and cannot be reported, as for Nakamura Consultant and Eguchi Editor-in-Chief, I will say hello, remember, not a single photo can be leaked, otherwise, I will ask you!" ”
Something happened, and Ming Quartz wanted to cover it up as much as possible and reduce the impact, obviously not wanting these reporters to stay on the scene, even if it was a reporter from Xinmin Daily.
"Hi Yi, please rest assured, I will strictly check and not a single photo will be leaked."
Kyosuke Watanabe bowed down to receive the order, turned around and said a few words to Xu Chengyan and the others, and everyone nodded yes, ensuring that they did not take any images.
However, two Chinese reporters took a few photos with their hands just now, but the cameras were put away by Kyosuke Watanabe.
Before leaving, Xu Chengyan looked at Zhang Zhiyuan and Shi Yushan in the crowd, signaled them to calm down with his eyes, and then followed behind Kyosuke Watanabe and left the Nikko Club first.
