The four of them were having fun playing mahjong. Yu Jingque lost some money and didn't care. It was Chinese New Year, so just be happy.
"Okay, stop, get ready, let's fire off the cannons." Yu Mosheng looked at his watch and said.
While having fun, time passed quickly and it was almost early morning.
There is something special about setting off firecrackers on New Year's Eve. Everyone wants to be the first to set off the firecrackers, but they can't do it before the time is up, so they take advantage of the time at home to have some firecrackers.
Things like firecrackers are actually under Japanese control now, but they are still allowed during the New Year.
What Yu Mosheng prepared was a large whip with a thousand heads, which was pretty good and belonged to wealthy people.
But compared with the emperor of Xinjing, he was far behind.
Yu Jingque had heard that the man in Xinjing would hang all the firecrackers on the trees in the courtyard on New Year's Eve, and there would be a hundred firecrackers from a thousand firecrackers.
I heard that there are also high-altitude cannons and fireworks that can fly into the sky after being lit, forming colorful and gorgeous pictures.
There are also seven dozen gold bullets, which are lit with a match rope. They are red, yellow, blue, green, green, orange, and purple. The bullets fly into the night sky one by one. It is really beautiful.
Today, Yu Mosheng also prepared seven dozen golden bullets, saying they were for Ji Youning and Gu Hanyue to play with, but Ji Youning was a little scared and didn't dare to come, while Gu Hanyue was very excited.
Ji Youning lit the incense in his hand and handed it to Yu Jingque. After taking a look, Yu Jingque said, "I don't need it. I can just use a lighter. Give the incense to Gu Hanyue."
"There are two sticks. You can take one each, be careful not to blow you up." Ji Youning didn't listen to Yu Jingque. She felt that using a lighter directly was too dangerous, so it was safer to use incense because the incense itself was very long.
Unable to resist Ji Youning, he took the incense and saw Gu Hanyue smiling at him.
There was nothing I could do about it. It was the first time that Yu Jingque had used incense to set off firecrackers as he had grown so big. In the past, the worst he could do was use cigarettes.
Ji Youning gave each of them a stick of incense, and Yu Jingque said, "I'll light the hanging whip later, and you light the seven-shot series for fun."
Seven-shot is another name for Seven-Dozen Golden Bullets. It is more convenient to call it seven-shot.
"Yeah." Gu Hanyue didn't seem to be afraid of these things, and she was already eager to try them out while holding the incense.
Ji Youning looked at his watch, counting each second, and had already started counting down.
But before the time was up, I heard the sound of firecrackers coming from far away and then to the next door. Some people had already started to set off firecrackers.
"Don't worry, don't worry, there are still ten seconds." Ji Youning's shout seemed a little weak amidst the huge sound of cannons.
Fortunately, both Yu Jingque and Gu Hanyue could hear it, and there were fireworks exploding in the sky. Who knew who was setting off the cannons.
However, the sound of artillery fire in recent years is far less than before. At this time, there are still many people with poor families.
"Click." Ji Youning shouted. When the time finally came, Yu Jingque and Gu Hanyue started to fire off the cannons.
After lighting it, I jumped up and ran away. When the firecrackers started to explode, they would splash everywhere.
After lighting it, Gu Hanyue also ran in and looked at the scenery outside.
"So beautiful." Gu Hanyue said to Ji Youning.
But he couldn't hear clearly and the sound of the cannon was very loud. Ji Youning opened his mouth and said, "Yeah."
Although they can't hear clearly, the two of them can still read the mouth movements without delaying communication.
After the sound of the thousand cannons at home was finished, everyone's ears could relax, but the sound of cannons was still coming in an endless stream.
"Telephone." Gu Hanyue said suddenly.
Yu Jingque listened carefully, and it seemed that it was really a phone call.
"Hello?" Yu Jingque answered the phone.
"Why did you answer the phone?" Wan Qun's voice was filled with anger.
"Chief of Unit?"
"The cannon was being fired just now, but I didn't hear it." Yu Jingque hurriedly explained.
"Come to the Secret Service Section, hurry up." Wan Qun said and hung up the phone.
what's the situation?
During the Chinese New Year, I am not allowed to have a good rest at home.
But from Wan Qun's tone, he could tell that something happened and he had to go there.
"I'm going out." Yu Jingque put down the phone, picked up his coat, and prepared to leave.
"Are you going out so late?" Ji Youning asked.
It was already past twelve o'clock, and Ji Youning didn't know what Yu Jingque was going out to do.
"Keli has something to do." Yu Jingque frowned. He didn't want to go, but there was no other way.
Gu Hanyue looked at Yu Jingque worriedly. She was afraid that Yu Jingque was in danger, and Ji Youning was equally worried.
"You can sleep here tonight and stay with You Ning." Yu Jingque said to Gu Hanyue, also saying that Gu Hanyue didn't have to worry, what happened tonight was not about him.
If it was Yu Jingque, Wan Qun would not call him, but would directly send someone to arrest him.
"Be careful." Yu Mosheng said the last thing.
Tonight, there were no cars on the street and thousands of people were shouting anxiously. Yu Jingque did not dare to delay and drove Yu Mosheng's car over.
You can still hear the sound of firecrackers along the way. When you come to the Secret Service Section, the lights are on. There are many people on duty today.
After parking the car and running to Wanqun's office, Yu Jingque went in and asked: "Chief, why didn't you go home today?"
"Someone doesn't want us to have a good Chinese New Year." Wan Qun said with a gloomy face. Of course he was at home today, but he was called over.
"Did something happen?" Yu Jingque was confused. He really didn't know anything today, no news at all.
Wan Qun said: "The general manager of Fujiadian New World Hotel was attacked at home just now."
Yu Jingque knew that the New World Hotel was famous and could be compared with the Madier Hotel in Butou District where Qin Jin lived. The attack on the general manager was not a small matter.
"Is he dead?" Yu Jingque asked again.
Wan Qun shook his head and said: "It happened that he was not at home, but several bodyguards at home were beaten to death."
"Have you caught the murderer?" Yu Jingque asked in a low voice.
"Not a single hair was caught." Wan Qun's tone was not very good when he said this.
The owner of the New World Hotel has a lot of people at home. After those people were killed, nothing was caught. This...
"It shouldn't be." Yu Jingque said.
"No, but this group of anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese elements used the sound of firecrackers as a cover to rush in and shoot people. When they left, no one heard the gunfire." Wan Qun's explanation made Yu Jingque understand.
.
Those who were preparing for action today must have prepared a lot of firecrackers. After everyone started setting off firecrackers, they also lit the prepared firecrackers and used the sound of firecrackers as a cover to shoot and kill.
Then they evacuated quickly. Because of the sound of firecrackers, everyone may not have noticed the sound of gunshots, so not a single hair was caught.
The method is very clever and very practical.
When the firecrackers sounded, it was indeed deafening. If the pistol had a silencer, it could perfectly cover people's ears and eyes. Even without a silencer, the effect would not be too bad.
But this matter has become a foregone conclusion. The anti-Manchurian and anti-Japanese elements who killed people have escaped. What are you asking Yu Jingque to do here? He will not be able to live a good year.
Shouldn't your name be Yao Bing?
All your close friends celebrate the Chinese New Year, but I don’t celebrate the Chinese New Year?
I was complaining in my heart, but I couldn't say a word in front of thousands of people. I finally gave money and eased the relationship, but if it got frozen over a few words, it would be troublesome.
PS: Thanks to PST and Yuntianjiang for their reward support.
