Looking at the collapsed city wall, the smile of the city defense commander of the Jinghai Office could not be hidden on his face.
The gendarmerie captain, whose face was blackened by the fireworks, led his men in a hurry and rushed to the local military commander. He walked up alone. He slapped himself twice, and then said in a tone of acceptance of guilt and punishment: "I'm very sorry.
Your Excellency, Commander, the gendarmerie station was accidentally flooded, and the soldiers were busy putting out the fire, and many prisoners escaped. This is my dereliction of duty, and I have brought shame on the empire."
"No, no, no, Captain Tsuji, this is not entirely your fault..." The commander of the city defense was in the city, surrounded by guards, who was personally on the front line to direct the search. He was in a very safe situation and did not hesitate to speak.
"But!" the gendarmerie captain argued hurriedly, suddenly realizing that he had interrupted the commander. He quickly shut up, lowered his head and waited to be scolded. Unexpectedly, the city defense commander's words of comfort came to him.
"Captain Tsuji, it's okay. Have you seen the city gate ahead?" The city defense commander waved his hand to the gendarmerie captain, gesturing for him to come closer and talk, and pointed to the ruins of the city wall next to the city gate and asked.
The soldiers guarding the security made way for the superior to chat. The gendarmerie captain took two steps forward, walked to a position one meter away from the city defense commander, and looked at the superior's finger. After working in this city for more than two years, he had a thorough understanding of the distribution of buildings.
He was familiar with the direction of the street. Even in the evening when the light was limited, the gendarmerie captain was inevitably surprised: "This... is the city wall on the east side of the north gate. How did it become like this?"
"Captain Tsuji, I am also surprised. An hour ago, there was a loud sound that shook the earth. Do you have any impression?"
"Your Excellency, Commander, I am very sorry for my humble position. I was commanding soldiers to put out fires and search for fugitives who escaped from the prison. I was a little far away from the north gate. I didn't notice this. Is it an earthquake?"
The Sun Kingdom is located on the East China Sea Islands where the oceanic plate and the continental plate meet. It often encounters natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis and typhoons. It was sent to China as an invading army in recent years. It has been thirty or forty years since childhood.
Their experiences made them very sensitive to the word "earthquake and mountains shaking".
"Don't be nervous, it's not an earthquake. Captain Tsuji, after receiving the news from the military police to assist in the search for fugitives, I mobilized two teams and a battalion to look for people in the city. The observer at the clock tower reported to me the North Gate
There was a firefight, and when I brought my troops over, I saw something extraordinary." The city defense commander paused and gave up.
The captain of the gendarmerie had worked with the commander of the city defense for a long time. He knew it was time to praise him and asked at the right time: "Your Excellency, what did you see?"
The commander of the city defense said with a hint of arrogance: "I saw a ground hammer working on the city wall." The gendarmerie and the city defense force did not have a complete reporting relationship. Seeing the officers who were half a level shorter than themselves were so cooperative, it was as if they had drunk half a glass.
He was as happy as honey and explained the situation readily.
"Ground-pounding machine! Where did the ground-pounding machine come from here? It is an object that the Kwantung Army only needs for repairing fortifications. I haven't heard of it being transported into the customs."
"That's right, even I don't know when the ground hammering machine came and the city wall was demolished like this. You and I don't need to be responsible for this."
The captain of the gendarmerie understood now that it was not urgent to escape the prisoner and just send a joint investigation notice to the garrison in the surrounding counties. The yellow mud on his pants and the leakage of water in the office were considered an accident. He had to deal with it quickly after dawn.
, lest someone with intentions use it to impeach yourself.
However, large and medium-sized construction machinery was transported in without anyone noticing, and a section of the protective city wall was demolished. Someone has to take the blame. Before the superior investigation team arrives, protect the scene and find a way to shift the responsibility to
In the intelligence department, we can just blame the detective for everything.
