Lu Ming guessed wrong. The person who started this rumor was neither Yoshiko Kawashima nor Yu Yinger, who hated him the most, but a man named Seigoro Ozawa, the younger brother of the deceased Seishiro Ozawa.
The Japanese move very quickly and do things meticulously.
They collected all the shrapnel they could find, even the shrapnel that penetrated the injured's internal organs.
Two demolition experts from the Japanese navy and army worked day and night for two days and two nights, and finally restored most of the two bombs.
After the fragments were spliced together and restored, they were surprised by the exquisite craftsmanship and ingenious conception of the two bombs.
The unique structure of these two bombs maximizes the power of the explosion under a fixed volume.
"This cannot be made by those in the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea. They can at most make some homemade bombs. These two bombs must have been made by Chinese explosives experts." The Navy's explosives experts concluded.
"Yes, it's either from Jinling Arsenal or Shanghai Arsenal. Both of them have the best blasting experts in China." The Army's blasting expert also said.
They jointly wrote the appraisal report and submitted it, and the rest had nothing to do with them.
After Yin Fengji was arrested, the Japanese first pretended to treat him with good food and wine, hoping that he would reveal his true feelings. Of course, this was just a formality.
As the saying goes, if you don't drink a toast, you will have to drink a fine drink. Starting from the next day, Yin Fengji was tortured in the most brutal way, and he was forced to tell the mastermind of this operation and the source of the bomb.
Yin Fengji insisted that there was no instigator of the explosion and that it was entirely his personal action. He just wanted to take revenge on the Japanese for making him a subjugated slave.
As for the origin of the bomb, he gritted his teeth and did not say a word.
However, Yin Fengji really did not know where the bomb was made or who sent it.
This is the principle of major operations. All participants do their own things, complete their tasks, and do not inquire about matters that have nothing to do with them.
The less the person involved knows, the better for him and everyone.
No matter how the Japanese tortured him, Yun Bongji insisted that this action was entirely his own behavior and had nothing to do with the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea, let alone the Republic of China government.
The Japanese were so angry that they tortured Yin Fengji until he lost his human form, and still got the same set of confessions.
The Japanese began a crazy revenge, arbitrarily arresting Koreans in various areas of Shanghai, and then subjected them to inhumane torture, hoping to get some information from them.
The Japanese knew that this would not achieve much, but torturing the Koreans like crazy was a relief.
The Japanese side also lodged a protest with the Chinese government on the grounds that the Shanghai Police Department failed to strictly manage Korean expatriates due to negligence, which resulted in the Hongkou bombing.
The Shanghai Municipal Government came forward to explain, stating that it would conduct a screening of North Koreans in China and report any suspicious signs to Japan.
Who wouldn’t say such beautiful words? The Japanese know that without solid evidence, everything is in vain.
A few days later, Kim Goo stood up and announced to reporters that Yoon Bong-gil's actions were entirely at his command, as planned.
Jin Jiu said that he was fully responsible for the bombing operation and that the purpose of planning this operation was to retaliate against the Japanese.
"Are there only 30 million Koreans who screamed in joy after hearing this loud noise? The 450 million Chinese should feel the same way. Tens of thousands of lives died in the Shanghai War. From now on, the innocent souls of Jiuquan can rest in peace. Hey
"Every man with ambition can win the command of the three armies; those who are sincerely concerned about the country, how can they not fight urgently in this critical autumn!" Jin Jiu shouted loudly at the briefing meeting.
The Japanese finally found their target, but unfortunately the residence of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea was already empty, and Jin Gu disappeared mysteriously.
On this day, Lu Ming was escorted by An Gonggen to Jiaxing under the cover of the Cao Gang. He met Jin Jiu who was hidden here by the Cao Gang. People from the provisional government were also hiding here.
They live near Jiaxing's South Lake. There is a large fishing boat on the lake. Once the Japanese search here, Jin Jiu and the people of the Provisional Government will move to the lake.
"Yin Fengji held on, he is good and amazing." This was the first thing Lu Ming said when he saw Jin Jiu.
"We are all good people, there are no cowards in Korea." Jin Jiu said, patting his chest.
Lu Ming laughed. Of course, most Koreans are good people and they are not cowards, but Koreans are also notorious for traitors. Even Japan's Kwantung Army has a large number of Koreans.
The people in the Northeast hate these Japanese devils the most. They use their power to bully others and do many bad things in the Northeast.
In fact, all countries and nations are the same. There are no pure nations and nations in the world. Once a crisis comes, spies and scum will definitely appear.
As the saying goes, even the ten fingers are not the same length when stretched out. If a group of people is divided into left, middle and right.
Lu Ming wanted to laugh because Jin Jiu also had a deal with Chen Mingshu, and the Korean Provisional Government received 40,000 yuan in operational funds from Chen Mingshu.
Lu Ming didn't think there was anything wrong with this. This operation was worth not to mention 40,000, but 200,000, or even one million oceans.
Lu Ming made a special trip to Jiaxing for three purposes: first, to express condolences to Jin Jiu and the interim government; second, to check if they were safe and satisfied; third, to ask if they needed support.
Before Yin Fengji took action, Lu Ming had already asked the Caobang to arrange a transfer location for Jin Jiu and others. Jiaxing, not far from Shanghai, was the best location.
As long as there is water, the Cao Gang is king, and Lu Ming is very satisfied with this hiding place.
It was raining lightly that afternoon. Lu Ming and Jin Jiu boarded a boat on the lake. They sat opposite each other, drinking Jiaxing old wine and eating spiced broad beans, also known as fennel beans.
"I brought you 100,000 yuan, which is the consolation money for this operation." Lu Ming said and took out a stack of banknotes, each of which was worth 10,000 yuan.
"Thank you very much. We really need money now." Jin Jiu took the bank note without ceremony.
"Although we worked together to complete this mission, we are also very grateful to you for stepping forward and telling the world." Lu Ming added.
"What is there to be grateful for? It was originally my instigation. I feel very honored. Of course, I must take full responsibility. Isn't there an old saying in China: If you dare to do something, dare to do it." Jin Jiu laughed heartily.
Lu Ming nodded. Jin Jiu's words were enough. The rumor that he planned the bombing would be self-defeating.
Neither he nor the Republic of China government would rather spend more money on this matter and provide various kinds of help, but they cannot be held responsible for anything.
This explosion really wiped out the prestige of the Japanese invaders and boosted the ambitions of China and South Korea. Although the Republic of China government did not come forward to admit it, the whole country also felt inspired.
Because now is not the time to break up with the Japanese and fight desperately. The time is not yet ripe, so we can only act in an arrogant and submissive manner.
"If you need anything else here, they can help you bring it at any time without any cost. You don't have to be polite." Lu Ming said, pointing to the gunmen on the shore.
"No need, we've taken good care of it. Yesterday they bought us a big fat dog and slaughtered it. We had a delicious meal just like the Chinese New Year. It's a pity that you came late." Jin Jiu laughed.
Lu Ming lowered his head and did not dare to continue. He would not eat dog meat. He accepted the American concept of animal protection. Small animals such as cats and dogs must not be eaten if they coexist with humans.
No one in their family eats dog meat. According to an ancient Chinese saying, dog meat is not allowed on the banquet.
Wealthy people do not eat dog meat. Only poor people will kill their own dogs, give them to others to eat, and then eat other people's dogs. It is very similar to the ancient "eating by exchanging children".
People in Jiangnan like to eat fish, and there are abundant fish in the water towns. It is said that fish is good for the human brain, so those born in Jiangnan are particularly smart.
In most parts of China, except in times of famine, no one would consider killing dogs for meat.
North Koreans like to eat dog meat. According to reasoning, it should be due to poverty.
Historically, North Korea was also a barren place, with almost no economic prosperity, but frequent wars and occasional famines.
China and North Korea have always been on friendly terms. Not only has there never been a major conflict between the two countries, but once North Korea encounters external aggression, China will draw its sword to help.
"How is it in Shanghai? Are the Japanese still madly retaliating against our compatriots?" Jin Jiu asked worriedly.
"Since you came out to tell the world and announced that you were responsible for the explosion, the Japanese have been frantically searching for you all over the world, but they have not continued to take retaliatory actions against the Korean people." Lu Ming said.
"Oh, that's good, my goal has been achieved." Jin Jiu said with relief.
"You should be more careful here. If there is any movement from the Japanese, I will tell you in time." Lu Ming stood up and said.
Jin Jiu also stood up and let out a long sigh of relief.
Lu Ming got off the boat, looked around and found nothing wrong, so he felt relieved. Then An Gonggen drove him and took him back to Shanghai.
