A car drove up the street and parked slowly on the side of the road. Hattori Hikoo and Chang Hongling were in the car. They were passing by and were going to attend a private banquet hosted by the German minister.
Miyamoto trotted to the car, bowed and said, "Major!"
Glancing at Wang Kejie, who was talking non-stop on the stage, Hattori Hikoo said, "Second Lieutenant Miyamoto, how is the situation?"
Miyamoto: "Major, please rest assured, I guarantee that nothing will happen!"
"Well, don't be careless... Huh?" Hattori Hikoo was about to signal the driver to drive when he accidentally looked up.
"Major, what's wrong?" Miyamoto followed Hattori Hikoo's gaze and glanced up, not noticing anything was wrong.
Li Xiance was nearby. He saw Hattori Hikoo's car parked on the side of the road, and saw Miyamoto running over to report the situation. He didn't pay much attention at first.
Until Miyamoto raised his head and glanced at Nuanxiang Pavilion, Li Xiance felt that something was not good. Judging from this subtle behavior, Hattori Hikoo probably discovered something.
According to the original plan, at nine forty, he would personally send a signal to Tao Jianming, and everyone from upstairs to downstairs would take action to get rid of Wang Kejie!
Before Miyamoto understood what was going on, Hattori Hikoo ordered, "Send someone up immediately to see what's going on with that window!"
Now that winter has entered, all doors and windows of both street-facing businesses and ordinary residents are closed, except for a window in the attic of Nuanxiang that is half open!
Miyamoto suddenly realized it. He turned around and called two military policemen over and said, "Go up and see who is in the room with the open window!"
"Yes!" The two military policemen ran to the other side of the road.
Seeing the Japanese soldiers running towards Nuanxiang Pavilion, Li Xiance knew that they were clearly targeting Tao Jianming and the others, so he had to act in advance!
He wore a white top hat on his head, which made him very conspicuous in the crowd. Taking off the hat was a signal to take action!
Li Xiance had no choice. He reached out and took off his hat, and then quickly walked out of the crowd. He wanted to leave the scene of the incident as soon as possible.
Tao Jianming in Nuanxiang Pavilion waved his hand and said, "Daniu, shoot!"
Almost at the same time, Miyamoto waved his hand, and a dozen military police quickly formed a barrier in front of the rostrum. Their 38-type rifles were loaded and loaded, and they were put on alert.
Daniel's finger had already been on the trigger, and he was waiting for the captain's order. "Bang!" The bullet flew towards Wang Kejie, who was on the stage with a look of astonishment. He didn't know what happened.
A Japanese military policeman happened to be in position, and the bullet penetrated his Tianling Gai. His body fell to the ground with a plop. This unlucky guy became Wang Kejie's scapegoat.
As soon as the gunfire rang out, the street immediately felt like a camp was exploding, and the crowd fled in all directions.
Wang Kejie on the stage, including the Japanese consul, were so frightened that they hid behind the table. It was too late for Daniel to pull the bolt and load the bullet to find the target.
"Damn, it's just one second!" Daniel punched the window frame with hatred.
Tao Jianming "The enemy will come up to search soon..."
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Before she finished speaking, several bullets shot in through the window. Yufeng shouted "Oh my God!" and trembled all over as she collapsed on the ground. Liquid flowed down her thighs, and she was so frightened that she peed!
Daniel wanted to fire back, but Tao Jianming shouted, "Get out! If you don't leave, it's too late!"
As soon as the two men opened the door with guns in hand, they were met by two Japanese military police who came to inspect the situation. Before they could react, Tao Jianming and Daniu raised their guns and started shooting.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Amid the woman's screams, two Japanese soldiers were shot in the chest and both fell to the ground. Tao Jianming kicked open the opposite room and rushed in with his gun raised.
A man and a woman were shivering in the quilt. Tao Jianming ignored them, took out the rope he had prepared in advance, and quickly tied one end to the window frame.
He pushed open the window, leaned down and glanced down, then turned to Daniel and said, "Follow me!"
As he spoke, Tao Jianming put the gun in his waist, jumped onto the window sill, grabbed the rope with both hands, jumped up, and climbed down quickly along the rope.
Daniel followed suit, put the rifle on his shoulder, and jumped down from the window sill! This side is behind the building of Nuanxiang Pavilion, so there is no need to worry about being shot by the enemy.
After landing, Tao Jianming glanced at the rifle on Daniel and said, "Do you think our target is not conspicuous enough? Throw the gun away!"
Although he was reluctant, Daniel did not dare to disobey, and obediently threw the rifle on the ground and said, "Captain, where are we going?"
"Follow me!" Tao Jianming ran forward along the alley. Everyone was running around anyway, so there was no need to worry about attracting attention.
At the entrance of the alley, the young man who gave them the gun came up to them and said in a low voice, "Turn left at the entrance of the alley. There is a car parked in front of Shunxiang Rice Shop with license plate number 0355. This is the car key!"
Tao Jianming didn't say much, nodded slightly, took the car keys and passed the young man. Daniel followed the captain closely.
There was a mess in front of the Chamber of Commerce. After Daniel opened fire, two more people suddenly rushed out of the crowd and tried to take advantage of the chaos to kill Wang Kejie.
If Hattori Hikoo had not discovered the problem early, even if Daniel could not hit Wang Kejie, the military commander's operatives would have fired suddenly at close range, and the success rate would have been high.
With the military police on their best precautions, the assassination became extremely reluctant. After several gunshots, one military commander was killed on the spot, while another escaped among the crowd.
Hattori Hikoo got out of the car, took out his pistol and looked around. There was no target in the crowd running in confusion.
"Miyamoto, block the entire street immediately and no one is allowed to leave! In addition, send someone to search the building opposite!"
"Major, I have already sent someone..."
"Idiot! Didn't you hear the gunshot? The person you sent may have been killed!"
"Yes!" Miyamoto hurriedly ran to dispatch.
Chang Hongling was extremely anxious at this moment, because she knew very well that according to the original plan, even if the assassination operation failed, there would still be enough time to retreat safely.
It's different now. It seems like it's just a minute or two, but in fact it's a huge difference!
The most important thing is that the special commissioner is also on the scene. Although he did not participate in the direct action, it is still unknown whether he has retreated!
"Hattori-kun, it's such a mess here, I'm a little scared..." Chang Hongling rolled down the window and said to Hattori Hikoo.
Hattori Hikoo glanced at her and said sternly, "As the emperor's wife, you must be mentally prepared to withstand this kind of situation!"
Chang Hongling whispered, "Yes."
Seeing the panic look on his wife's face, Hattori Hikoo couldn't bear it, so he softened his tone a little and said, "Let's do this, let the driver take you back."
"What about you?" Chang Hongling knew that in this case, Hattori Hikoo would not be able to leave the scene.
"Don't worry about me, just go!" Hattori Hikoo waved to the driver.
