The sandbags and barbed wire fences piled up at the entrance of Ping'an Lane were in disarray, and traces of bullets and explosions could be seen everywhere on the wall stacks. It was obvious that the wall stacks were once shooting holes for the defenders.
The Japanese military police have three posts, five steps and one sentry.
Early this morning, the Japanese military police broke into Ping'an Lane and started a large-scale manhunt, aiming to catch all the rioters.
Lu Ming was stopped by the Japanese military police at the entrance of the alley.
They were chattering in Japanese, and stabbing at Lu Ming and his party with cold swords.
Lu Ming was accompanied by seven or eight people, including Gao Mote, the vice president of Heishan Daily, Zhou Xiaoguo, a lawyer at Heishan Guangming Law Firm, Cheng Wanjun, deputy chairman of Wanzhou New Life Movement Committee, Zhang Daniu, a mining worker in Heishan, and the Red Cross Society of Heishan Special Administrative Region.
Board member Wang Ming, freelance writer Tiesuo, Dr. Gao Jiansheng, a member of the Humane Heart Alliance, etc.
Of course, standing in the front row blocking the Japanese guns were a row of young men in peaked caps.
At the same time, several combat groups from the air service regiment quickly occupied favorable terrain.
Gohmert walked a few steps. He knew more than ten languages of various ethnic groups, and then he began to chatter.
The general meaning is that we are a human rights observation team established by the Montenegro Special Administrative Region in response to the May 25 incident to investigate the recent war in Shengjing and possible human rights violations.
The chief observer of the observation team is Mr. Zhang, the Minister Plenipotentiary of our Montenegro Special Administrative Region in Shengjing. Why don't you go and report it to your commander?
He looked at a behemoth that was gradually approaching with huge noise in the sky, and the black machine gun muzzle on the heavy helicopter.
A Japanese military policeman who looked like a squad leader quickly ran into the alley.
"Huh? Ichiro?" Lu Ming felt that a person in the row of Japanese military police in front of him looked familiar. After thinking about it, he remembered it, Ichiro Okawa.
He was once the captain of the Nanping Gendarmerie, but a child of a big family he protected was killed by himself, Qing'e, and the gendarmerie was also expelled by himself.
Ichiro Okawa's eyelids were twitching, as if he didn't see Lu Ming who was smiling and greeting him.
Looking at his rank as a private, Lu Ming coughed and was demoted to a private. However, it was remarkable that this guy could save his life.
Soon, a major Japanese officer walked into the alley with a scar on his face and a very ferocious look. He kept glancing at Lu Ming.
Lu Ming ignored him and Gohmert went to communicate with him.
The wooden board of the booth next to it was full of bullet holes and broken, but it was obvious that the telephone inside was a new one and the phone lines were connected.
The Japanese officer entered the booth and hung up the phone.
After a while, he came out with the phone and said, "Mr. Zhang, Minister Kawamoto would like to speak to you." There was a very unconvinced look on his face.
Lu Ming nodded, and a young man in a peaked hat took the microphone and brought it to Lu Ming.
"Zhang Sang, what happened?" Masayoshi Kawamoto asked anxiously, "Why didn't you communicate with me at all beforehand?"
Lu Ming sighed, "I can't help it. General Lu is in accordance with the agreement he signed when he joined the Eastern Economic Alliance. He must fulfill his obligations as a member of the alliance. We must investigate any human rights violations that may be involved in the SAR, and we should conduct random inspections."
Recruiting independent observers, I can now serve as the chief representative of the observation team, and the candidates for the observers have also been specially screened, which is the best result possible."
"Yesterday, the East China Sea Council also sent an official letter asking for the truth about the 525 incident. Because Shengjing and Montenegro are closely related, the Alliance Committee also asked our Montenegro to form an investigation team to conduct a detailed investigation and submit an investigation report."
"What should we do?" Masayoshi Kawamoto asked tentatively. He probably couldn't believe what Lu Ming said, but was trying to figure out what the Montenegrins wanted to do.
Lu Ming said: "Several observers are going into Ping'an Lane because they heard that your military personnel are committing violence here."
Masayoshi Kawamoto was silent for a while, then said resolutely: "Okay, wait for me! I will accompany your observation group into Ping'an Lane."
"That won't work, Kawamoto, you give the order, the observers will have to enter in five minutes at most, otherwise, they will think that traces of war crimes are being erased inside." Lu Ming looked at his watch, "There are still four minutes and fifty-five seconds.
."
Kawamoto was obviously gritting his teeth, but said in a low voice: "Please Zhang Sang, please return the phone to Major Suzuki."
Soon the phone returned to the hand of the military police captain, the scar-faced Suzuki. Suzuki cheered a few times, but the tone was the same.
"Mr. Zhang, please wait a moment with all the observers!" Suzuki bowed and walked quickly into the alley.
A few minutes later, the phone at the sentry station rang. After the squad leader went to answer the call, he made a gesture and the wire fence was moved away. The Japanese military police also stepped aside.
Ping'an Lane was originally the largest gathering area for the Western middle class in Shengjing, with rows of two-story buildings and thousands of courtyards. The greenery was excellent, with flower beds, fountains and small squares everywhere.
But now when walking in it, there is a faint smell of blood.
There was still thick black smoke rising from some small buildings.
In the fountain and flower bed square that suddenly opened up shortly after entering the community, hundreds of Westerners, men, women, old and young, were sitting dejectedly, some with blood stains on their bodies.
There were also more than a dozen Western men tied to trees. In addition, there were trees where no one was tied, but there were blood stains on and under the trees.
Looking at the trees where people were not tied up, Lu Ming glanced at Major Suzuki who was walking beside him, and said in a deep voice: "An informant gave us information that you just stabbed the prisoners to death with bayonets here.
?”
Major Suzuki was startled, and his expression became strange. He looked around, and he obviously didn't know how the news was leaked. They only broke through here because it was dark. The big manhunt had just begun, and there was still sporadic resistance. Several people here would be here.
The leader stabbed the lambs to death with bayonets in front of them to be slaughtered, which is what happened just now.
"Mr. Zhang, many houses here have not been searched yet, and there must be many thugs hiding inside. Therefore, for the safety of the observers, you and the observers should wait here."
He was a master at changing the subject. He waved his hand and muttered a few words, and soon a military policeman came over dragging a Western man with a smile on his face and deep fear in his eyes.
"Mr. Zhang, his name is Alfonso, and he is the municipal councilor of this community. You and the observers can ask him what happened here."
Lu Ming looked at this Western man with a flattering smile on his face. It was obvious that he was an actor arranged temporarily.
However, Gohmert, others, and the accompanying affairs officer had already picked up their notebooks to record, and they all asked Alfonso about the situation here.
According to Alfonso, riots broke out here since May 25. Most of the residents here supported the rioters, using this place as their base camp and going out to loot everywhere. It was not until early this morning that the riot was suppressed by the Japanese military police.
Lu Ming shook his head as he listened, but in fact, this has been true in past and present lives, especially for wars or riots. How true is the information that the outside public finally gets?
