CHAPTER XXI

Fujita rushed out of the hay shed like crazy, but he didn't see the two subordinates he was guarding. In a hurry, he didn't have time to think about it, but rushed back to the police station at full speed.

In the middle of the night, apart from a few officers on duty, there were not many officers on duty at all. Fujita woke up the police officer who was on duty but was sleeping.

"Signal immediately, gather all police officers to standby."

"What's going on?" The police officer who was woken up looked blinded.

"Someone wants to burn Kyoto. So, sound the alarm immediately and gather all the officers. ”

The entire police department is in shambles. Youpeng in Shan County was shocked. All the officers were awakened and rushed to the police station. Most of the officers were in dormitories, so the build-up was not slow.

"What's going on, Fujita. What are you doing? "Youpeng in Shan County has a very good face, and anyone who is awakened in the middle of the night will not have a good face.

"I need the cooperation of all the police officers in Kyoto to search all the abandoned barns, farms, and horse farms throughout Kyoto. I received a tip-off that someone was preparing to burn Kyoto tonight. ”

"Burning Kyoto?" Youpeng in Shanxian was also taken aback. "Are you sure? Where did you get the news? "There are friends in the county who are completely sleepy. It's not just a matter of career. It is possible to go to a military tribunal.

"That Qing countryman. The Qing man who worked in the police station was all his conspiracy. I already knew he had a problem, so I kept an eye on him secretly. Tonight I followed him to a horse farm not far away. In the forage field I found a large amount of oil in the forage field. At the same time, he also admitted that he would burn Kyoto tonight. I was in a hurry to report back and I couldn't catch him. ”

Fujita hurriedly reported, and he didn't notice that his boss's face was not quite right.

"Fujita, pull the emergency alert in Kyoto, this is a major event, do you understand what you are doing?"

"I really saw a lot of fire oil. He said that the same fire oil was buried in all corners of Kyoto. Once ignited, there is no way to extinguish it. ”

Yama Prefecture has a lot of trust in Fujita, but at this time, he can't help but hesitate. The most important thing is that he did not receive any news that there was a problem with the Qing people.

Yama Prefecture Aritomo glanced at Fujita, he knew this subordinate of his very well. A first-rate swordsman, a second-rate detective, a third-rate politician. However, it is generally more credible. Since the other party said that there is such a huge hidden danger in Kyoto, so many people have heard it, if they don't take action. Then it's your responsibility if something happens. But if you act aggressively on your own, but in the end it turns out that the information is wrong, then it is very easy to operate. Thinking of this, Youpeng in Shanxian spoke.

"I believe in you, Fujita. I now appoint you as the Provisional Supreme Rescue Commander in Kyoto. All the police in the whole of Kyoto are at your disposal. You immediately dispatch men to investigate all suspicious places throughout Kyoto. It is important to nip the threat in the cradle. If not, the damage must also be minimized. ”

Fujita was grateful for a while. A feeling of death for a confidant arises spontaneously. He didn't know that his boss was ready to make himself a scapegoat. This kind of temporary supreme commander is usually followed by a parenthesis that says the highest person who carries the blame.

He only knew that at the most critical moment, his boss came out to support him. Give him enough rights back. This kind of trust is enough to follow you to the death.

"Mr. Shanxi, don't worry, if there is an accident in this incident, I will bear the result."

Without waiting for Yama Prefecture to hint at it, Fujita himself was grateful. This made Youpeng in Shanxian uncomfortable, thinking about whether this kind of loyal subordinate should care more.

"Go with confidence, Fujita. I'm going to sit here, don't be stressed, I'll take all the pressure for you. ”

Fujita resolutely took hundreds of policemen and rushed out to save Kyoto. And Shan County Youpeng stood in place and thought for a while, and then called his guards.

"Go and inquire about the news of that Qing countryman. I don't care what he did, I want to know why my people didn't give me news. Check them out...... Is it dead. ”

The subordinate was stunned for a moment, but he didn't dare to ask more, and turned to leave. He is one of the most trusted people in Yama County. has been responsible for dealing with some secret things for him. Of course, he knew that his boss had sent someone to secretly observe the Qing man. He arranged it himself. He also wondered why the two guys had no news.

On the other side, Fujita took a team of people and returned to the forage shed where he met Lu Qiming just now. The crowd quickly brought out more than twenty refills of fire oil. This amount of oil, if combined with arson, is enough to burn down an entire village not far away.

With the first harvest, the police officers, who were originally a little unconcerned, also began to get serious. If, as Fujita said, there are hundreds of such oil storage sites, then the whole of Kyoto is indeed in danger.

The crowd was divided into ten squads, and at the same time someone went back to prepare all the reserves, as well as the nearest army, to prepare for a national rescue.

At this time, the hour since Lu Qiming said has actually arrived. Although it has not yet been seen where the fire is on. But Fujita didn't dare to be careless. He thought that this was his own action, which alarmed the other party and made them dare not make a move.

Next, they only need to find out where the other party stores the oil to completely eliminate this disaster. The whole of Kyoto is covered by police, and it is absolutely too late for the other side to evacuate. Thinking of this, Fujita couldn't help but be full of confidence. But soon, the situation changed.

Hundreds of police officers, along with reservists, and thousands of people supported by the nearby navy and army, launched a massive search throughout Kyoto and the surrounding area. However, as the search progressed step by step, an extremely embarrassing fact emerged.

Except for the fire oil that Fujita took people to find. They never found a second, the so-called kerosene storage site. Thousands of people visited thousands of homes and searched hundreds of surrounding villages. Thousands of warehouses, barns, abandoned houses, and other suspicious locations were thoroughly searched. But nothing. There is no physical evidence, and no human witnesses, to prove the existence of such signs.

By dawn, thousands of people were exhausted and came up with a result. Nothing, just a lie.

At this time, the Kyoto Police Department ushered in three police officers with bewildered faces. They were covered in alcohol and had tiredness on their faces that they hadn't woken up from. looked at the empty police station with a look of surprise.

"What's going on?"

It was one of the three who spoke. And he is Lu Qiming. The other two were somewhat unfamiliar police officers. Of course, if there is a friend in Shanxian County, or if his guard is here, he will find out that those two people are the police officers he arranged to secretly spy on Lu Qiming.
