Chapter 281 Thunder Murder
The island of Ireland is lush and green, like a green kingdom.
But in this season when lilacs are in full bloom, the atmosphere becomes solemn due to the arrival of the Queen of England.
The streets of Belfast have been heavily cordoned off by tens of thousands of troops. Armored vehicles, soldiers patrolling with guns, and plainclothes police officers overtly or covertly can be seen everywhere. Everything seems to be heavily guarded.
The Republic of Ireland, one of the British Isles, was only allowed to become a "free country" after World War I.
In World War II, due to pursuing an extremely conservative policy of neutrality, it was not involved in the whirlpool of the war.
The island of Ireland is divided into thirty-six states. The administrative power of the Irish government can only control thirty states. The six northern states are still under the jurisdiction of the British government. Northern Ireland is still under the jurisdiction of the British government.
As a result of the long-term rule, the political systems, religious culture, etc. of these six states were almost assimilated by the British.
Although it is ruled by the British, it does not mean that the Irish people have surrendered. There has always been a group of people fighting for independence in Northern Ireland.
The Irish Republican Army, formed by Irish people, will plan a series of military armed attacks, threatening to provide an unforgettable surprise to the Queen of England's Silver Jubilee.
This is the first visit of the Queen of England and Prince Philip, and more than 30,000 troops have been deployed to ensure that the entire security measure is flawless.
The Hong Kong Song and Dance Troupe was invited by the local government, but was forced to suspend its performance due to the Queen's unscheduled schedule.
Considering that the situation is quite tense, they and their party are preparing to evacuate Northern Ireland in advance and prepare to return to London.
Lu Dongjie and others also came to Northern Ireland with the group. After visiting for two days, they found that the atmosphere was not appropriate and ended the trip early.
Since the airport was temporarily closed, they had no choice but to take a cruise ship to leave here first.
The cruise was scheduled for the next morning, and they still had to spend a long night here.
All main streets outside have been tightly blocked, mainly to prevent local residents from taking to the streets to protest.
However, in areas where Catholics gather, a large number of demonstrators and military police were confronting each other, and conflicts between the two sides were about to break out.
The hotel where Lu Dongjie and his party stayed was right in the center of these conflict areas, and it felt like they were surrounded by enemies on all sides.
Lu Dongjie stood quietly on the window sill with his arms folded, observing the situation outside through the window.
"This place is in chaos. If I had known it, I wouldn't have come." Lu Xiaomei sat cross-legged on the bed glumly.
"Yes, today those people came up with guns and ammunition for interrogation. It was really scary." Kuang Meiyun said with some fear.
"We will go back early tomorrow morning. We don't care if they are beaten to death." Zhao Yazhi gently held their hands.
Although she smiled and comforted them, she was also a little uneasy inside. She had never encountered such a thrilling experience.
But when she looked up and saw the man, his calm expression gave her a sense of security.
She believed that with him by her side, he would be able to protect their safety.
"Wow..."
The demonstrators in the streets advanced from verbal protests and abuses to physical conflicts, and began to create the first wave of momentum.
A conflict broke out here, and other soldiers kept coming to support. People from both sides kept adding more strength. You pushed me, and I pushed you.
Lu Dongjie suddenly laughed, these Irish people are not stupid, they know how to attack the east and attack the west.
Then, the Catholic demonstrators began to throw stones at Junjing, and one wave after another came forward to attack their defense lines.
Not to be outdone, Jun Jing began to fire tear gas and rubber bullets at the demonstrators to fight back.
All of a sudden, the two sides were going back and forth, and a fierce conflict broke out.
Gunshots, cries and curses began to swirl over the city.
Half an hour later, many demonstrators were cleared and taken away, and the first wave of conflicts subsided.
How could those unarmed demonstrators be the opponents of those wolf-like and tiger-like soldiers?
After watching this warm-up match, Lu Dongjie couldn't help but smile, guessing that the good show is yet to come.
Taking advantage of this time, he went downstairs to pack dinner for tonight.
Regardless of whether it tasted good or not, he ordered a lot of food and decided to wait for tonight.
When he got on the elevator carrying a large plate of food, he was riding next to a tall man in a suit wearing sunglasses, holding a large black box in his hand, and looking cold as if he was not allowed to approach strangers.
Lu Dongjie could feel that there was a dangerous aura about him, and he didn't look like a kind person.
When he got out of the elevator, he followed him out. It was a coincidence that they lived in the next room.
"Hey, what is this? It tastes too bad." Lu Xiaomei said in disgust.
"Well, the taste is a bit weird, could it be expired?" Kuang Meiyun said suspiciously.
"Oh, this is what the British eat. Let's have some cakes and milk." Zhao Yazhi said comfortingly.
All three of them expressed the unanimous opinion that British meals are indeed unpalatable.
Lu Dongjie held the roast beef in his hand, but he couldn't taste it, just like chewing wax.
The more he thought about it, the more wrong he became. The man he met just now acted too abnormally. He didn't look like a 007 agent, but instead looked like a terrorist.
He suddenly had a bad feeling. It seemed that he had to find out the identity of this suspicious man.
If he lived in a high mountain and far away from the emperor, he would naturally not meddle in other people's business, but he lived next door to him, which made him feel at ease.
After dinner, he excused himself to go out for a smoke and asked them not to go out.
Lu Dongjie knocked twice on the door next door and waited for a while, but no one answered him.
But he knew that someone was observing him through the peephole behind the door, so he pretended not to know, and then knocked again.
"Who are you looking for? What do you want?" The man opened the door and looked at him coldly.
"Man, can you borrow a fire?" Lu Dongjie smiled and showed the cigarette in his hand.
Seeing Lu Dongjie's oriental face, the man became less wary and still said coldly: "Wait here."
The moment he turned around, Lu Dongjie suddenly struck quickly and knocked him out with a knife.
Lu Dongjie locked the door, dragged the man inside and tied him tightly with sheets.
In this turbulent environment, everyone must be cautious and protect their own safety first.
Of course, there was a mistake in killing such dangerous elements and they were not spared.
Anyway, he will leave here early tomorrow morning, so even if it is a misunderstanding, it doesn't matter.
Lu Dongjie began to search the room. After searching for a while, he looked up and down, but could not find the big black box that the man had just carried.
There's no reason. It's impossible to hide such a big box. Where exactly is it hidden?
Lu Dongjie sat on the bed and slowly thought about it. There was nothing unusual about this seemingly ordinary room.
But the deeper he hides, the more suspicious it becomes.
"Eh." Lu Dongjie looked at his hand inadvertently, and there was a trace of white ash on his fingers.
