Chapter 59 Programme of Action
The next interviews with these deputies went very smoothly, and these people were also shrewd characters, familiar with them, saying some clichΓ©s, and occasionally saying some useful information, all of which Xu Chengyan secretly wrote down.
In the next few days, Xu Chengyan wrote a long serial propaganda in the newspaper, and the article was beautifully written and quite inflammatory, which was praised by the two editors-in-chief and the editor-in-chief, and they specially called him to the office to encourage him.
It wasn't until the fourth day that Ji Yun and Ding Mingrui reported to him that there had been new progress in the investigation.
In the Jushu Museum, three people sat opposite each other, Ding Mingrui handed a few photos to Xu Chengyan, and introduced: "This person's name is Yuji Murakami, fifty-two years old this year, and he is a cleaner employed by Nikko Club. β
Xu Chengyan took the photos and looked at them, these photos are all in the background of the Nikko Club, a photo of an old man in work clothes passing through the gate guard, two photos of entering the gate, and one photo of walking out of the gate.
It's just that the shooting distance is a little far, but it can still be seen that this person is short, thin and thin, and the work clothes he wears are swaying and becoming more and more wide, but a satchel hanging diagonally on his shoulder immediately attracted Xu Chengyan's special attention.
"The guards didn't check his satchel?"
"No, he goes in and out of Nikko Club every day with a satchel, and he goes to work on time every day, and he goes through the back door, and the guards are very familiar with him, so he doesn't check every time."
"You've been watching for a few days, and you've found this one? Why did you choose him? Xu Chengyan asked again.
"We found a total of three people, but after our investigation, the other two were ruled out because Yuji Murakami had the best control." Ji Yun on the side replied, and handed another photo to Xu Chengyan.
Xu Chengyan took a look, and the photo was a photo of a boy, about six or seven years old, with a small round face, chubby, and very cute.
"This is the only grandson of Yuji Murakami, not long after Yuji Murakami's family came to Taiyuan, his son and daughter-in-law died in an accident, leaving only this one grandson, and he regarded this grandson as more important than life."
Although the latter words were not said, the meaning was already very clear, and the style of the military commanders was to only ask about the results and unscrupulous means.
Of course, Xu Chengyan is not a good man and a woman, and even the decisiveness is a few points better, the difference between the important and the heavy is clear, he nodded slightly, and immediately agreed and said: "Very good, let's start with Yuji Murakami, now we are very short of time, we will start tomorrow, and we must transport the explosives in as soon as possible." β
"Yes!" Ding Mingrui and Ji Yun both nodded and took orders.
That night, Chu Guangji and Cao Rui'an came to the Jushu Hall again to meet Xu Chengyan.
Chu Guangji was also shocked by Xu Chengyan's plan this time, before he was just going to sabotage the mobilization meeting and add to the blockage of the Japanese, but Xu Chengyan's appetite was even greater, and he wanted to start from the source and directly target Takuma Ito.
Bombing and killing Takuma Ito is definitely a big deal, and there are few high-level Japanese leaders of such status in the entire Shanxi Province who can compare.
If Xu Chengyan's previous assassination of Masao Yoshioka did cause a sensation on the intelligence front, then once the assassination of Takuma Ito was successful this time, the whole of North China would be shaken, and the movement would be great.
Therefore, after hearing Cao Rui'an's report, he couldn't sit still anymore, and decided to meet Xu Chengyan in person today to discuss a specific plan of action.
At this time, Cao Ruian handed over a package of explosives to Xu Chengyan, Xu Chengyan opened it and saw that all the items needed to make a time bomb were complete, but he quickly frowned and said: "There is no shortage of things, but the amount of explosives is too small!" β
The amount of explosives provided this time is too different from Xu Chengyan's previous assumptions, and he knows very well that even at the mobilization meeting, it is difficult for him to get close to Takuma Ito, and the explosion point will definitely not be too close, in this case, this requires the explosives to be powerful enough and the explosion range to be wide, so as to improve the success rate.
However, the explosives provided by Cao Ruian are obviously insufficient, just this package of explosives, if it is TNT explosives, it is reluctant, but the power of italic-type explosives is much worse in comparison, and it has to be detonated in a venue with a large space, the power will be reduced a lot, and it is difficult to form an effective kill for Takuma Ito.
Cao Ruian also knew this, explaining: "We can only get these things in a short period of time. β
Xu Chengyan heard from Cao Rui'an's tone that there was indeed something difficult, and he looked at Chu Guangji again.
Chu Guangji also smiled bitterly: "Now there are some problems with the channel, you are in a hurry, I can only give you these first, and then I will find a way." β
Hearing Chu Guangji say this, Xu Chengyan knew that the materials of the intelligence station were indeed in difficulty, so he did not insist, nodded and said: "If the risk is too great, there is no need, I have a backup plan, as long as everything goes well, these medicines are enough." β
When Chu Guangji heard this, he knew that Xu Chengyan already had a specific plan, and the purpose of his coming today was this, so he asked: "Chengyan, tell me, what are you going to do?" β
For Chu Guangji, Xu Chengyan naturally can't hide it, after all, this matter is very important, even if Chu Guangji and Cao Ruian trust Xu Chengyan again, it is impossible to let go of all of them and report the action plan to their superiors, which is also a necessary procedure.
So he took out a sketch that he had drawn a long time ago, spread it on the table, and explained to the two bosses: "This is the layout of the venue that I wrote down when I entered the venue before, this part is the hall, and here is the corridor ......,"
As he explained one by one, Chu Guangji and Cao Ruian quickly understood the terrain of the entire venue.
"I was going to set up a blasting point under this flower pot near the rostrum, here is leaning on a column, as long as the action is hidden, there should be no problem, but now it doesn't work, with the explosion radius of these explosives, the threat to the position of the rostrum is not enough, at most it can only be injured, and there is no guarantee that the target will be killed."
"And what about your backup plan?" Chu Guangji asked.
"Here!" Xu Chengyan pointed to a dot on the sketch.
"This mobilization meeting lasts for one day, and a lot of work will be carried out on site, and the time is so long, there will definitely be a break time in the middle.
There is a VIP lounge here, I observed it at the door, the decoration is very luxurious, I guess Ito Takuma will also enter the lounge halfway, I found an opportunity to sneak in in the name of an interview in advance, and put a time bomb, it should not be a big problem. β
Chu Guangji listened, shook his head slowly, and asked: "Although it sounds good, there are too many variables, this is just your assumption, what if at the time you set, Takuma Ito doesn't enter the lounge?" What if you can't make it to the lounge? β
"So it's a backup plan, but I think it's very feasible, at the end of this day, I don't believe that he doesn't take a break for a while, as long as you seize the opportunity, it's still worth a try!"
Hearing Xu Chengyan say this, Chu Guangji also knew that there were still some problems with this action plan, and he couldn't help but hesitate a little.
Naturally, he also wanted to succeed in the operation, and to be able to blow up Takuma Ito, the money bag of the Japanese military, would certainly add a heavy sum to the credit book, but he was more worried about the safety of his proud protΓ©gΓ©, and this credit was not so attractive in comparison.
Thinking of this, he said again: "In this way, you can try first, but there is a principle, that is, you must not be forced, if any unexpected situation occurs in the action, you must stop the action, and there must not be any greedy and reckless action." β
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and couldn't help but think of Geng Zhiguo's sacrifice again, his heart ached, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
"Honestly, you must not perfunctory me, the lesson of the rhinoceros is in front of me, he has followed me for many years, he is not afraid of life and death, loyal and brave for the country, he is a good brother who can trust life and death, but because he was lucky for a while, he disobeyed the order, and as a result, he put his life into it, and my heart is more uncomfortable than my own death.
Although this action is important, but if it is not successful once, it can be the next time, the opportunity will always come again, don't be in a hurry, once you can't do it, you must stop, this is a death order, are you clear? β
Although the words were harsh, but the love was revealed, Xu Chengyan also felt warm in his heart, nodded heavily, and promised: "Teacher, don't worry, I will definitely do what you instructed, and I will never act recklessly." β
Seeing Xu Chengyan's solemn agreement, Chu Guangji sighed lightly, stabilized his nerves, and then asked: "You haven't said the key step yet, that is, how to transport the bomb in, according to the situation you introduced, their inspection is very strict, and on the day of the meeting, it is even stricter, are you sure?" β
Xu Chengyan shook his head slightly and explained: "Teacher Mingjian, of course you can't transport it on the day of the mobilization meeting, all the Japanese pseudo-agents are going to be dispatched that day, the security work is too strict, I need to transport the explosives in advance." β
"Shipped in advance? How to ship? Chu Guangji asked.
Xu Chengyan immediately reported his preparations, and finally said: "Tomorrow I will do it, kidnap the grandson of Yuji Murakami, and hold this person hostage to work for us, as long as he complies, you can transport the explosives in advance, on the day of the meeting, I will assemble and debug on the spot, so that you can flexibly control the blasting time, and as long as there is an opportunity, I can act at any time, which will greatly improve the success rate." β
"That's a great idea!" Chu Guangji nodded lightly.
He looked at Xu Chengyan with satisfaction, in the end, he was the most important student, whether it was agile skills and witty minds, he was the best among people, a rare talent, and he found another way to solve this most difficult problem, and he transferred him to Taiyuan as a helper, he really found the right person!
He waved his hand and said happily: "Okay, I agree to your plan of action, just do as you say!" β
