"Dear young and old gentlemen, take a look. The price of good goatskin is absolutely fair..."
Fugui puts two pieces of leather on his shoulders and talks to passers-by. If anyone is interested, he will offer an absurdly high price to scare them away.
Pei Shaoshi quickly crossed the road and came to the station exit. He looked around casually. He was holding a white cardboard with the words "picking up Mr. Lu from Qingdao" written on it.
A few minutes later, a black car slowly stopped on the side of the road. Qiao Muchai and Jiang Xinyu got out of the car. They were here to pick up people from the Financial Secretary and the Foreign Affairs Bureau.
Fugui came close to Pei Shaoshi and said, "Sir, the best goatskin can be made into a fur coat and hat, which will ensure that you won't get cold even in the cold winter!"
Pei Shaoshi touched the leather and said, "How much does it cost?"
"Don't rush to ask about the price. Take a look at the leather first..." Fugui said in a low voice, "Qiao Mu from the military commander is here, as well as the deputy representative named Jiang."
"I saw them, don't worry about them, just keep an eye out for Japanese spies for a while!"
"clear!"
Pei Shaoshi: "Every scrap of skin is infested with worms, don't let it go!"
Fugui said unconvinced, "Where did the bug come from? It doesn't matter if you don't buy it, just stop talking nonsense..."
"Woo——"
"Woo——"
"Woo——"
With a long and piercing whistle, a train entered Yanjin Station from far away.
Ten minutes later, passengers began to walk towards the exit of the station one after another. A middle-aged man wearing a coarse cloth and carrying a rattan box walked straight towards Pei Shaoshi.
He glanced at the cardboard and said, "Excuse me, are you the second brother of my uncle's family?"
Pei Shaoshi put away the cardboard and said, "You remember wrongly, I am the third brother."
The middle-aged man shook hands with Pei Shaoshi and said, "I haven't seen each other for more than ten years. I can't remember accurately. I am Lu Minghua."
"Cousin, we have something to talk about when we go home."
"good!"
Qiao Mu, who was standing next to the car, raised his wrist and glanced at his watch and said, "It's a good day today. The train was not delayed. When I came to Yanjin, it was a full hour late."
Jiang Xinyu casually agreed, "It's really rare for the train to be on time at this time..."
At a glance, a Japanese lieutenant officer came over. He was wearing a helmet on his head, no weapons in his hands, and was carrying a military canvas bag.
Jiang Xinyu felt very strange. Since he was not on patrol, why did this officer wear a heavy helmet in such hot weather?
This lieutenant officer is none other than Kono. He is following Aoki's order today to assassinate Qiao Muchai!
When using the Japanese standard grenade, in addition to removing the safety pin, the projectile must be hit hard against a hard object to cause the firing pin to fire the cap and ignite the delay tube before exploding!
This is also the main reason why Kono wears a helmet. In addition, he also knows that the killing radius of grenades is within ten meters, and wearing a helmet can protect himself to the greatest extent!
Seeing Jiang Xinyu looking at him, Kono was worried that his flaw would be discovered. He reached out and took out the grenade from the canvas bag, knocked it on the helmet, and then threw it against the ground!
Although he didn't see clearly what object Kono took out, Jiang Xinyu suddenly realized that it was a grenade when he knocked it on the helmet!
Kono's hand was very steady, and the grenade landed just right at the feet of Jiang Xinyu and Qiao Muchai!
The grenade hissed and emitted smoke. Qiao Mu was stunned and his mind went blank. He was in the center of the blast point and there was no way to avoid it!
Jiang Xinyu knew that the fuses of Japanese grenades had a five-second delay. He quickly picked up the grenade and threw it out without having time to think about it.
As soon as the grenade was released, he immediately threw Qiao Mucai down and pressed his body close to the ground. He only heard a deafening explosion in his ears, "Boom!"
A piece of debris shattered the car window and the broken glass fell to the ground.
At this moment, the exit of the station has become a mess. Women's screams, children's cries, and people running around make the scene look chaotic.
The station is already a densely populated area, and as the train was entering the station, all kinds of vendors, rickshaw drivers, and locals who came to pick up the train were crowded at the exit.
More than a dozen innocent people were injured in the explosion. Fortunately, Jiang Xinyu threw the grenade into the open space as much as possible, so no more casualties were caused!
The two guards who followed got up from the ground, took out their pistols and hid behind the car door, watching the panicked crowd closely, and beware of the murderer's second assassination attempt!
Two policemen ran over and heard that someone was trying to assassinate the Chongqing representative. They did not dare to neglect and hurriedly called for support.
Jiang Xinyu helped Qiao Mucai up and said, "Stationmaster, you are scared!"
Qiao Mu had dust all over his head and face, looking around in shock, and said, "Did you see the murderer's appearance?"
Jiang Xinyu nodded and said, "I saw it, it's a Japanese soldier."
At this time, a group of Japanese soldiers rushed to the scene, led by a second lieutenant. Jiang Xinyu stepped forward and said in Japanese, "Second lieutenant, the perpetrator is a man wearing a lieutenant's uniform. He is about thirty years old. He should hide."
Near the station!”
Lieutenant "Who are you?"
Jiang Xinyu took out his ID and handed it over. The office ID was stamped with the seal of the garrison headquarters, which had extraordinary and special significance in Yanjin.
The warrant officer returned the document with both hands, gave a respectful military salute, and said, "I will send people to block the entire street immediately!"
Qiao Mu just escaped death, and a stone fell to the ground in his heart. He waved to Jiang Xinyu and said, "You can't rely solely on the Japanese for this matter. You have seen the perpetrator. Go find him. You must find out who is responsible."
Instruct!"
"Understood!" Jiang Xinyu turned around and told the two guards, "Protect the station master and don't leave even a step!"
"yes!"
This street was blocked by the Japanese. If anyone was found acting suspiciously, in addition to checking their documents, their belongings would also be searched.
When the explosion occurred, Pei Shaoshi and Lu Minghua had not yet left the station. By the time they reacted, the Japanese had already blocked the street.
Lu Minghua said nervously, "What should I do?"
Pei Shaoshi "Don't worry, the Japanese are not targeting us!"
"But, in my box is a transmitter!"
"ah?"
"I'll explain this to you later. What should I do now?"
Pei Shaoshi thought for a while and said, "Wait for me."
He turned back to Fugui and whispered, "Go and see if you can pass the level!"
"I know." Fugui squeezed out of the crowd and strode towards the checkpoint.
If everyone has to be inspected, Lu Minghua will have to find other ways if he wants to pass the checkpoint!
