Chapter 42: A Strange Scene
After returning to the dormitory and preparing a few gadgets, Geng Chaozhong rode his bicycle out of Yanda.
At this time, bicycles were a fashionable thing, and there were not many bicycles in the huge city of Beijing.
Geng Chaozhong enjoyed the feeling.
Being a spy is too low-key, no matter how big a thing you do, you can't let people know, let alone pretend to be 13 in front of people. In the long run, Geng Chaozhong will inevitably have the feeling of walking at night in brocade clothes, and now riding a bicycle on the street to show off has somewhat satisfied Geng Chaozhong's psychology.
Walking all the way, when he came to the vicinity of Dongjiaomin Lane, the flow of people had become more and more dense, Geng Chaozhong jumped out of the car, found a remote place, and dressed up in a simple disguise - went to the glasses, put on a mustache, and then glanced at the nasolabial folds under the eyes, and immediately became a middle-aged man in his forties.
Disguise is nothing else, when I did things before, I was more or less exposed, although now it is not as good as the cameras and cameras flying all over the sky in later generations, but Geng Chaozhong still has more eyes, and it will not be wrong to change his appearance a little.
More than 200 students were holding improvised slogans and shouting slogans such as "protest against atrocities" and "return our sovereignty," and were clamoring around the Japanese legation, and in front of the legation stood a row of Japanese military policemen wearing yellow uniforms, holding guns and looking at the crowd expressionlessly.
Geng Chaozhongzai carefully looked at it, and there was no figure of Hideki Tanaka in this platoon of gendarmes, so he began to scan the crowd - on this occasion, it is impossible to do without plainclothes Japanese spies.
After looking so carefully, I found that there were a lot of sneaky people with bulging pockets around their waists, and it is estimated that in addition to the special high class, there were also a lot of people from the Beiping Detective Team and the General Administration of Public Security, but Geng Chaozhong still didn't see Hideki Tanaka, it seems that this guy is not here to carry out the task.
That's some secret guarding.
Geng Chaozhong pushed the cart and came to the back of the Japanese legation.
Behind the legation is a narrow alley, shaded by trees, quite quiet, in the jungle, there is a small iron gate, around the iron gate, faintly arranged a lot of barbed wire barricades.
Geng Chaozhong yawned, glanced in, and in an instant, a number of hidden eyes shot over, and it seemed that there were a lot of secret agents.
Geng Chaozhong shook his head, there was no way to find it like this, even if he found it, Tanaka Hideki didn't dare to come over and talk to him.
Just as he was about to ride away, there was a sudden sound of a motor at the mouth of the alley, and a black car squeezed into the alley, apparently trying to come in.
However, the entrance to the alley is too narrow, and it can accommodate a car, and as soon as the car comes in, it will block Geng Chaozhong's bicycle tightly.
Geng Chaozhong had no choice but to get out of the car and push it back, but the car honked and slowly reversed back.
The quality is good!
Geng Chaozhong raised his hand, made a gesture of thanks to the car, pushed the car and walked out quickly, and when he passed by, he glanced inside, and a middle-aged man with a mustache in the back row was looking ahead with a frown, and he knew that his status was not low.
Geng Chaozhong wrote down the license plate number: 35279
When he turned the corner, Geng Chaozhong paused, and the car stopped at the back door of the Japanese legation.
That person, is it Japanese?
Geng Chaozhong had some doubts in his heart, but it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so he got on the car and went around to the front of the legation again.
More and more students gathered in front of the legation, not only Yan University, but also students from various colleges and universities in Beiping flocked to the news.
"We want to see the consul!"
"If the consul doesn't come out again, we'll rush in!"
At the same time, the conflict between the students and the gendarmes became more and more intense, Geng Chaozhong saw several familiar figures, and even a few teachers were among them, the faces of the gendarmes in front of the legation became more and more nervous, and the patrolmen who came to maintain law and order around were also sweating profusely, shouting and doing persuasion work.
Bang!
At this moment, a gunshot suddenly rang out from the crowd, followed by a sharp girl:
"Someone died! Someone died! β
The scene instantly became silent, and people looked back at the place where the sound was made, and a female student pointed to the ground with a pale face, and her place was instantly vacant.
Underground, there was a young man in a student uniform, his chest was bright red, his eyes stared blankly at the sky, and his death was extremely terrifying.
The fear of death enveloped everyone in an instant, and some timid students began to retreat step by step, and even a few squatted on the ground and began to hold their heads and tremble.
Of course, there are those who are timid, and there are also those who are bold.
"Who killed him?!" A few students next to him questioned angrily.
"It must be Japanese! In order to stop us, the Japanese even secretly poisoned our classmates! The other man was quick to make a judgment.
As soon as these two sentences came out, the crowd instantly boiled.
The unknown students were even more angry, and they rushed forward one after another, entangled with the gendarmes who were blocking them, and the faces of the gendarmes began to show impatience, and several of them even began to pull the safety bolts, if no one stopped them, I am afraid that bloodshed would be inevitable!
Bang!
Another gunshot rang out, and the piercing sound of bullets stunned the students who tried to rush in, and then an officer wearing a Japanese military uniform appeared at the door of the embassy.
"All quiet!"
The Japanese officer, waving the pistol in his hand, shouted in strange Chinese:
"Everyone, people were not killed by our imperial army, don't be impulsive, there must be a misunderstanding here! I can tell you that in the guns of the gendarmes standing in front of the door, there are no bullets at all! β
The sound of gunfire and the words of the Japanese officer brought the crowd back to some composure, and the officer saw that the student's mood had calmed down, and he hurriedly continued:
"All gendarmes, open the chambers!"
With a click, the gendarmes in the front row opened the chamber of the gun and showed it in front of the students, and sure enough, there was not a single bullet in the chamber.
"Everyone, see it, I didn't lie to you," the Japanese officer showed a little smile on his face, "You are all elites in Beiping, and you are all sympathetic to Dali, I understand everyone's feelings, but you must also know that things have developed so far, you and I have left tens of thousands of corpses outside Beiping City, and we don't want to kill people anymore." β
"We are not afraid of death!" Several voices could be heard from the crowd.
"I know everyone is very brave," the Japanese officer still smiled, "but some things are not solved in this way, and if the march had solved the problem, there would not have been so many deaths outside the city of Peiping." β
"You don't want to intimidate us!" There were several voices in the crowd again.
"I'm not intimidating everyone, I'm just telling the truth," the officer spread his hands, "and I have just investigated clearly, the person who died was not a Chinese, but a Japanese!" β
"Japanese?" Everyone looked at each other.
"Yes, it's Japanese," the officer said with a sad face, "This is our students in the Japanese expatriate area of Peiping, and some people deliberately kill people in order to create contradictions between the imperial army and the people!" If you don't believe me, you can ask your classmates around you to see if anyone knows the deceased?! β
The scene fell silent for a while, followed by a burst of ear-to-ear conversations, and everyone surrounded the deceased to identify for a while, and found that this person was really unknown!
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are well-intentioned, and the fact that there is no bullet in the gun is proof," the officer said at the right time, "what we are afraid of is that everyone has been used by others and has become a tool in the hands of others!" β
The officer kept talking, what he said was very reasonable, and the students saw that the Japanese side had died, and most of their anger was gone, and slowly, someone was walking out.
The officer smiled a little and continued: "Everyone, it's noon, and many of my classmates haven't eaten yet, so I think that even if you want to march, you can come back after you have eaten enough!" β
As soon as the officer said this, everyone around him felt a little hungry, and everyone looked at each other, and their hearts began to retreat.
"Okay, I've understood everyone's opinions, I'll report to the consul and convey everyone's demands........" The officer said slowly with an imperceptible smile on his face.
The crowd slowly dispersed, and Geng Chaozhong stood outside the crowd, staring closely at the Japanese corpse on the groundβhe didn't have time to listen to the Japanese officer's performance, because he knew the dead man on the ground.
Hideki Tanaka!
