Spy Wars: I can get rewards by being a bully!

Chapter 228: An Interlude at the Reception

When the reporters entered, the atmosphere suddenly became a little tense.

Kitahara Ransuke ordered the military police to block the alley and the gate of the Wu Mansion, and then took Lin Ze and a team of military police in to guard outside the flower hall.

The so-called flower hall is not the living room of the main house, because some powerful people have to receive many guests every day, and not everyone can go to the living room of the main house at the back, so the flower hall is a large room built at the connection of the courtyard or the front garden, which is transparent from front to back, with a huge screen or a wooden partition connected to the ceiling in the middle, a long table in front, a square table in front, official hat chairs on the left and right sides, and then two rows of chairs on both sides of the hall, which are specially used for meeting guests.

The advantage of this structure is that it provides ample light, but the disadvantage is that the open space makes security difficult.

Kitahara Ransuke had always been against holding the reception here, but Colonel Matsuzaki was determined.

At this moment, Kitahara Ransuke was observing his surroundings and muttering, complaining that this arrangement added a lot of pressure to him.

At around 10 a.m., a civilian officer from the headquarters entered the venue and began to maintain order. He first said in Japanese: "Dear journalists, Mr. Wu Ziyu, Colonel Naoto Matsuzaki, Mr. Masujiro Okano and relevant representatives will be here soon. Please ask questions in an orderly manner and maintain order."

Then he repeated it in his broken English.

A reporter whispered to his companion: "I still find it hard to believe. In fact, I have been in China for many years. More than ten years ago, I interviewed Wu. He is a typical traditional soldier who lives like a Puritan, but has a passion and tenacity for his career that ordinary people cannot match. Do you know how many people in the world think that Wu is the one who is most likely to reach the summit? I didn't expect that today, I would see him kneeling down and surrendering to the Japanese."

The fat reporter next to him looked around nonchalantly, "I don't think so. You know, a few years ago, the Japanese used fake news to fool us. Remember? A tiger can't be tamed so easily, even if it is old. Wow, look here, what a beautiful display!"

"You don't think so? Come on, look here, there are Japanese soldiers everywhere, and this is Mr. Wu's home. I think he will describe to us how much his ideas match those of the Japanese, and how fully he will cooperate with them. Damn it, these dwarfs will attack us one day, and their ambition is to cover the whole world!"

"Okay, quiet, quiet, we are just doing our job. No matter what he said, we just need to record it truthfully and then send it back to the country to let the great Miljian people know what happened here. Of course, who cares? They are talking about those movie stars crazily."

After a while, a group of people came out from behind the wooden partition.

The leader was Masujiro Okano, who was wearing a brand new suit, had his hair neatly combed, and waved to the reporters with a warm smile on his face.

Then, Colonel Matsuzaki came out from behind in military uniform.

He seemed to be not very good at facing so many cameras. He could hardly open his eyes due to the flash of the spotlight. He tried hard to force a smile from the corners of his mouth, which looked very weird.

Then the person who came out was Qi Ying. He was wearing a black uniform and had a pocket watch chain on his chest. He looked like a country gentleman and nodded to everyone with a smile.

Just at this moment, an accident happened!

A Japanese reporter in the crowd suddenly stood up and shouted.

"Baga! Why did you surrender? Why did you betray your country?!"

Then he actually took out a pistol!

pistol!

After three checks, where did this guy get the pistol from?

Then, the reporter quickly opened fire, and with two loud bangs, the scene was in chaos!

Kitahara Ransuke and Lin Ze acted almost at the same time and rushed forward.

But after firing two shots, the man seemed to be scared again, and started shooting at the people who were rushing towards him, not caring whether he hit them or not.

Lin Ze rolled over to avoid the bullet.

Kitahara Ransuke also walked around to a pillar, hesitating whether to shoot.

This moment of distraction caused the reporter to run out of the hall.

Kitahara Ransuke roared, "Shoot! Shoot!"

Then he came out from behind the pillar and shot!

"boom!"

The Japanese journalist was shot in the chest, and then someone fired two more shots, killing him instantly.

Lin Ze looked up and saw Shunsuke Aburatsu standing at the door, still with no expression on his face, slowly putting the gun in his hand into the holster.

He turned to the furious Kitahara Ransuke and said, "Kitahara-kun, it's solved."

Lin Ze's brain started to work frantically.

Could this be someone arranged by the South?

He quickly dismissed the idea. If Boss Dai had the ability to get a Japanese reporter to work for him, then the Peking Station would not be under pressure from the headquarters all day long.

So who is this guy?

A fervent anti-war activist?

The key point is, why did he shoot Qi Ying?

In the flower hall, Qi Ying was still in shock. The two shots missed him, especially the first one. He turned back to see if Wu Ziyu had come out. This action saved his life. The bullet grazed his ear and he was bleeding!

After all, he was an old soldier, and as soon as the gun sounded, he dodged behind the wooden partition, so the second shot did not cause him any harm.

Naoto Matsuzaki's face turned pale, and he immediately stood up and said loudly: "Don't make a fuss! Some people want to sabotage our cause! As you can see, he has been beaten to death! This is the fate of those who try to sabotage the empire's cause! I declare that the reception will continue!"

With the comfort of the civilian officer from the headquarters, everyone soon calmed down.

It has to be said that all the reporters who can appear in this place are accustomed to big scenes. For them, this matter may just be a small episode.

Then, Naoto Matsuzaki gave Kitahara Ransuke a look, meaning that they should deal with it quickly.

Kitahara Ransuke was furious. What on earth went wrong?

He saw the military police search with his own eyes, there was no way this reporter could have brought a gun in!

Someone must have placed weapons in the Wu Mansion in advance!

Kitahara Ransuke waved to Lin Ze, and the two of them went to the yard. They didn't care about protecting the scene, and called a few military police to carry the body out.

Then they followed him outside, and Beiyuan said in a deep voice, "Lin-san, what do you think?"

Lin Ze said seriously, "It is absolutely impossible that he brought the gun in today. Beiyuan Jun, we checked them one by one. This man was holding a chicken leg pistol, not a pocket pistol. Where could he hide it?"

Kitahara Ransuke nodded. No matter what, they had to insist that the gun was not brought in from the scene, otherwise it would mean that there was a loophole in the security check they were responsible for.
