Chapter 905 Let Me Host the Ceremony
In order to avoid being recognized by acquaintances, Xiang Chu put on careful makeup before coming.
He was wearing a brand new Japanese general's uniform and a red scarf.
He also wore glasses and had a small mustache on both sides of his lips.
As long as she is not his wife, outsiders will definitely mistake her for a Japanese general.
Gan Rong arrived from Xiaguan Wharf in time and replaced Bao Ge to drive for Xiang Chu.
The car drove into the gate of the Japanese gendarmerie headquarters and passed through the crowd of people attending the meeting.
Normally, once they entered the compound, there should be far fewer assassins.
Gan Rong relaxed his nervous mood and asked with a smile: "Chief! Where is the car going?"
Xiang Chu pretended to be unhappy and said, "How can you arrange the meeting without even a greeter? Just follow the crowd and go directly to the venue."
"Hello!"
Gan Rong hurriedly took the order and drove straight to the venue.
Xiang Chu huddled in the back seat, pulled the curtains, and glanced at everyone outside, looking for any trace of the assassin.
Gan Rong drove forward and said with a sense of relief: "Chief! I was driving around Yihe Road just now and saw Lin Qiaoer, Zheng Jie and others. If we hadn't put on makeup, I'm afraid they would have already launched the assassination plan."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Not only did the Military Control Commission send people, but also the Central Control Commission, Unit 76, and Aoki Nobuhide's people, all want to assassinate me. Who did I offend?"
Gan Rong smiled and said, "Needless to say? It must be Aoki Nobuhide. But the assassins he arranged are all outside, so there may not be any in the compound."
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "No! There are some."
"parking!"
A loud shout was heard outside.
A sergeant and a group of plainclothes officers stopped the car.
The sergeant was Shinzo Okamura, who wanted to take a gamble for himself. He stood in the middle of the road with his arms outstretched to stop the car, like Zhang Fei on the Dangyang Bridge.
Xiang Chu knew that this sergeant must have been instructed by Aoki Nobuhide to come and cause trouble for him, or to create an opportunity for the assassin to kill him.
Seeing that the car still didn't stop, Okamura Shinzo quickly pulled out his gun and pointed it at the car, shouting:
"Get out of the car and be inspected!"
Xiang Chu hurriedly ordered: "Nobi-kun! You should be more assertive with this sergeant. If they do not welcome me to attend the meeting, I will go back now."
"Hello!"
Gan Rong hurriedly accepted the order.
He stopped the car, rolled down the window, and shouted angrily:
"Baga! How dare you, a mere sergeant, stop General Fujiwara's car? If you don't want General Fujiwara to attend the meeting, we'll turn back now."
When Okamura Shinzo saw that Gan Rongdu, who was driving the car, was a colonel, he said in a low voice:
"Your Excellency, Colonel! We are also conducting a routine inspection. General Fujiwara, please cooperate with us."
Xiang Chu looked around vigilantly and ordered:
"Nobi-kun! Let him check it out."
"Hello!"
Gan Rong hurriedly got out of the car, opened the trunk and said loudly:
"Sergeant! Please check it."
Okamura Shinzo didn't look at the trunk, but shook his head and said:
"No! We need to check the front and back of the car."
He yanked open the rear door and opened it as wide as it would go.
Xiang Chu saw the assassin behind him, pushed open the door on the other side, jumped out of the car, and shouted: "Nobi-kun! Get down!"
Gan Rong was prepared and rolled to his side.
"Da da da!"
A volley of bullets swept across the other side of the car, and plainclothes officers including Shinzo Okamura were all shot and fell down.
The assassin was a plain-looking man who used a light machine gun to shoot indiscriminately.
Traitors and Japanese soldiers fell to the ground in large numbers, screaming in agony, and the scene was in chaos.
Shinzo Okamura was shot in both legs and roared in anger:
"Baga! Don't you know who you should hit?"
Xiang Chu and Gan Rong had both drawn their guns and were just firing back randomly.
Gan Rong asked anxiously: "Chief! Do you want to kill the assassin?"
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "No need! They should be members of the Military Control Commission or the Central Control Commission. I don't know why they were chosen by Okamura Shinzo to assassinate me. Let them take some military merits and return to Chongqing."
Gan Rong said thoughtfully: "It is probably a member of the Military Control Commission who has infiltrated No. 76."
At this time, the Japanese gendarmerie captain led a large number of gendarmes and rushed in from outside the gate.
Xiang Chu saw the assassin use up all his bullets in one breath, then throw away his gun, climb over the wall and escape.
When the gendarmerie captain saw the gendarmerie running towards him, he found out that it was the former captain of the Hangzhou gendarmerie, Yuji Fujita.
When he saw Xiang Chu, he saluted hastily and said loudly, "General! Fujita accompanied Commander Ishida to the city to welcome the supervisor. The defense of the military police headquarters was handed over to Shinzo Okamura. I didn't expect an assassination to happen. Please punish me."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Captain Fujita Yuji! We are old acquaintances. By the way! Where are Commander Ishida and Supervisor Aoki Norihide? Didn't they come back with you?"
Fujita Yuji shook his head and said, "We have not waited for Supervisor Aoki Nobuhide. Commander Ishida was worried about the headquarters, so he asked me to come back first to ensure the "Return to the Capital Ceremony".
He personally led the garrison out of the city to look for Supervisor Aoki Nobuhide's whereabouts. "
Xiang Chu pretended to be enlightened and said, "So that's how it is! But Okamura Shinzo was the culprit and allowed the Chinese Military Intelligence Bureau to assassinate this general and put him in jail."
"Hello!"
Fujita Yuji hurriedly took the order.
He waved his hand and a group of military police rushed up and carried away Okamura Shinji, who was shot in both legs.
Xiang Chu said with satisfaction: "Yoshi! This guy who colluded with the Chinese Military Control Commission should be imprisoned for life."
The military police headquarters compound was in great chaos, and everyone, injured or not, wanted to leave the venue immediately.
Fujita Yuji bowed and said, "General! Commander Ishida has told me that if he and Supervisor Aoki Norihide haven't returned by 15:30, please preside over the 'Return to the Capital Ceremony'."
Xiang Chu exclaimed: "Let me preside over the ceremony?"
A familiar voice sounded: "General Fujiwara! Chief of the Shadow Agency! You presided over the 'Return to the Capital Ceremony' very well."
Under the protection of numerous military police and secret agents, Wang Manxue's mother and others walked over with a swagger.
Xiang Chu hurriedly said, "Madam! How about you take charge?"
But Wang Manxue's mother said coldly: "Do some people still want to take their wives and children away?"
Xiang Chu said helplessly: "Okay! I will preside over it. Everyone should go to the venue immediately and try to complete the ceremony within three minutes. Captain Fujita! Military police should be on guard at the venue."
"Hello!"
Fujita Yuji bowed and accepted the order.
Xiang Chu looked around for the assassin and walked towards the meeting place pretending to be absent-minded.
The Japanese and traitors present at the meeting looked at him with great dignity and discussed:
"The head of the Shadow Agency, General Fujiwara, personally presided over the event, demonstrating the importance the Empire attaches to it."
"He is a legendary spy in the empire. It's not easy for him to come here."
"After all, he is Miss Wang's husband, so we have to give him some face."
"Why hasn't Supervisor Aoki Nobuhide come yet? Is he not coming?"
Xiang Chu turned a deaf ear to him and focused on finding the assassin's trace, and unknowingly arrived at the venue.
The venue was set up on the playground of the gendarmerie headquarters, surrounded by flags of the blue sky and white sun.
A large number of reporters came to the scene, all to witness the moment when the traitor sold out his country for personal gain.
Xiang Chu followed Wang Manxue's mother onto the platform, still looking for the assassin.
Wang Manxue's mother rolled her eyes at him and ordered:
"Captain of the Shadow Bureau! The auspicious time has arrived, please preside over the ceremony."
Xiang Chu didn't think twice and shouted loudly in his smoky voice:
"The 'Return to the Capital Ceremony' begins. Mourn for the 30 people who died in Jinling City!"
