Chapter 366 Where were you when the explosion occurred?
The next day, Xiang Chu came to Iwai Mansion with the invitation.
The Iwai Mansion was decorated with lights and it was quite lively.
In addition, many journalists were invited.
Needless to say, Iwai wanted to make a big splash.
Little did they know that beneath the bustle there were layers of murderous intent.
However, security measures at Iwai Mansion also caught up.
There is a sentry every three steps and a guard post every five steps in the mansion.
Moreover, people entering and leaving the mansion are strictly checked.
Xiang Chu walked into the iron gate of the mansion, holding the notebook containing the "Black Widow" poison needle.
Two armed gendarmes and a gendarme lieutenant stood at the iron gate.
The lieutenant of the military police saw that this was the person his captain respected the most, and said with some embarrassment:
"Fujiwara, Deputy Section Chief! I'm so sorry, but we have to carry guns when entering the mansion."
"It doesn't matter! Then just follow the rules."
Xiang Chu smiled, handed the gun issued to him by the Special High Section to the lieutenant of the military police, and instructed,
"Lieutenant! Although I don't like using guns, please don't lose them, otherwise I won't be able to complete my mission."
"do not worry!"
The military police lieutenant registered the gun and put it in the metal cabinet behind him.
Xiang Chu walked into the gate and glanced at everyone in the mansion.
Of course, he had no intention of caring about the killer, nor did he plan to assassinate him himself.
The only goal is to find Secretary Yuan as soon as possible and complete the task assigned by the organization.
In order to save time and prevent having two Yuan secretaries, he asked a staff member:
"Excuse me, where is Secretary Yuan? She is the secretary of Consul General Iwai."
The staff member pointed in the direction of the conference room and said, "Sir! Secretary Yuan is in the conference room."
"Thank you!"
Xiang Chu smiled and nodded, then walked towards the meeting room.
Secretary Yuan was busy setting up the venue and seemed very busy.
There were many participants and mansion staff around him.
Xiang Chu walked towards Secretary Yuan and felt his feet step on a thin wire under the carpet. He squatted down and pretended to tie his shoelaces while scanning the floor of the conference room.
The floor of the conference room is covered with carpet, and the carpet in the middle of the conference table is slightly higher than the carpets around it.
"It looks like the bomb is placed in the middle of the conference table!"
Xiang Chu pondered inwardly, stood up, and put the ball of paper he had written in advance into his palm.
He walked towards Secretary Yuan, and as their bodies were intertwined, he stuffed the paper ball into Secretary Yuan's pocket as quickly as possible.
Then, he pretended nothing had happened and walked towards his desk. He glanced at Secretary Yuan and found that he didn't notice anything. He couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
Moreover, there was a notebook in Secretary Yuan’s pocket where the paper ball was kept. It would be bad if he took the paper ball out of the notebook.
More and more people walked into the venue, including the fake mayor of Shanghai and the fake mayor of Hangzhou.
The time bomb can explode at any time, the killer can take action at any time, and death can come at any time.
Xiang Chu simply walked towards Secretary Yuan and asked with a smile: "Secretary Yuan! Can you write down the phone numbers of Consul General Iwai and you?"
Secretary Yuan said without hesitation: "Of course!"
He reached for his pocket awkwardly, his fingers touched the ball of paper, and keeping calm, he took out the notebook.
He tore off a piece of paper, wrote down two phone numbers, handed it to Xiang Chu, and said with a smile:
"Fujiwara-kun! Is this okay?"
Xiang Chu took the paper and said with a smile: "Of course! Thank you!"
After he finished speaking, he turned and walked towards his seat. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Secretary Yuan hurriedly leaving the meeting room.
"It's time for me to leave this damn venue!"
Xiang Chu thought to himself, pretended to have a stomachache, covered his stomach and walked out of the meeting room.
But at the stairs on the second floor, he met Bao Ge disguised as a waiter.
The Military Police Department actually sent Bao Ge, a Shanghai native, to carry out the assassination.
There were Japanese plainclothes officers next to them, so they were naturally unable to alert Bao Ge.
Xiang Chu covered his stomach with one hand, pointed at Bao Ge with the other, and shouted in Chinese:
"Waiter! Please bring me some toilet paper to the bathroom, bathroom!"
He pretended to be in a hurry to go to the bathroom and repeated it, speaking in his real voice.
"Yes!"
Bao Ge was extremely shocked and nodded his head to accept the order.
Xiang Chu ran to the bathroom, and Bao Ge went back to get toilet paper and followed him.
There was no one else in the bathroom. Xiang Chu waited for him to come in and closed the door.
Bao Ge said excitedly: "Director! It turns out you are not dead yet."
Xiang Chu said anxiously: "Tell me quickly! Did the department send you here to assassinate him? How many of you are there?"
Bao Ge said anxiously, "Yes! There are two of us, Zhang Changjin from the Intelligence Department and I. He is also from Shanghai."
Xiang Chu asked anxiously: "Do you know that the Party Affairs Office has also sent people here?"
Bao Ge shook his head and said, "I don't know! The chef in the mansion is an undercover agent of the department. He arranged for Zhang Chang and I to work in the mansion as errand boys, and then to carry out assassinations. The main targets were the fake mayors of Shanghai and Hangzhou, and another named Yang Hua."
Xiang Chu asked anxiously: "Did you plant the bomb under the carpet of the conference table?"
Bao Ge shook his head and said, "No! We use suicide bombings, shootings, and even put poison in tea and food to assassinate people. We will not stop until we achieve our goal."
Xiang Chu looked at his watch and said with a wry smile: "In two minutes, the meeting will begin. I guess the time bomb will explode on time. I have to go there, at least appear at the door of the meeting room."
Bao Ge said anxiously, "Director! Don't go. Zhang Changjin and I have bombs strapped to our bodies. He will risk his life to rush into the venue and carry out a suicide attack. We also have guns on us. We will shoot anyone we see."
After saying this, he tore open his shirt, revealing a row of bombs and a pistol.
Xiang Chu was shocked and said, "A Bao! Who gave you two such a death-defying mission?"
Bao Ge smiled bitterly and said, "Zhang Changjing and I drew lots and got it. What can we do?"
Xiang Chu didn't know what to say. After all, they were sacrificing their lives for their country and nation.
At this time, footsteps sounded outside.
Xiang Chu pushed open the toilet window. There was a wall below and a forest outside the wall.
Xiang Chu pointed outside and said, "Hurry up and go! Come find me at Chuyue Hotel later."
"it is good!"
Bao Ge nodded hurriedly.
He hurriedly climbed up to the windowsill and jumped out, just barely landing in the woods outside the wall.
Xiang Chu closed the window, reached out to open the bathroom door, and pretended to wash his hands and face.
Secretary Yuan appeared at the door and said with a smile, "Fujiwara-kun! The meeting will start soon."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Secretary Yuan! I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. You keep having diarrhea."
"Boom! Boom!"
"Boom! Boom!"
Several explosions and intensive gunfire were heard from the conference room.
Xiang Chu pulled Secretary Yuan into the bathroom, locked the door, and pretended to be nervous and said:
"Don't let the assassins come in."
"probably not!"
Secretary Yuan said with lingering fear.
Soon, the explosions and gunfire stopped.
Xiang Chu opened the door and ran quickly to the meeting room.
Countless Japanese plainclothes soldiers and military police with weapons in hand blocked the door of the conference room and did not dare to enter the explosion site. When they saw Xiang Chu coming, they hurriedly made way for him.
Xiang Chu squeezed his way into the room, only to see that the conference room had been blown beyond recognition, with corpses strewn all over the floor. The large, heavy conference table had been overturned, and a large hole had been blown out in the middle of the ground.
At this time, the conference desk panel is moving.
Xiang Chu hurried forward and lifted up the conference table to block the view of the plainclothes gendarmes at the door.
There were three people trapped under the conference table cover, but they were not dead yet.
Moreover, it was the fake Shanghai mayor Fu Xiaoan, the fake Hangzhou mayor He Zan, and the fake Shanghai Public Security Bureau director Yang Hua who were the people who should be assassinated in this death penalty operation by the Party Affairs Department and the Military and Police Department.
The three men had their eyes closed, all with painful expressions on their faces.
Xiang Chu hurriedly took out his notebook and removed the poisonous needle.
Then he gave each of the three traitors an injection with lightning speed, and the three traitors died on the spot.
Xiang Chu quickly put away the poison needle, put the notebook in his pocket, stood up and covered the three people with the conference table cover.
Then, he covered his nose and walked out of the meeting room, and ordered:
"How pitiful! They are all dead. Find someone to clean up."
"Yes!"
The plainclothes gendarmes hurriedly obeyed the order.
At this time, Iwai Hideyoshi ran over accompanied by Secretary Yuan.
Xiang Chu asked preemptively: "Consul General Iwai! Where were you when the explosion occurred?"
Iwai Hideyoshi apologized, "Deputy Section Chief Fujiwara! I was on the phone in my office at the time."
"You are so outrageous!"
Xiang Chu yelled loudly and pretended to be extremely angry and left his mansion.
