Our Time: Unswerving until Death

Chapter 48 An uproar

At this special juncture, the people in Xiyuan clearly knew that Ichiro Kawamoto was responsible for the church case, but they deliberately issued such a statement to excuse the Dongyi people. The intention was very clear, that is, Xiyuan could not offend Dongyi. People, but this matter can't be forgotten, so He Qi, a plain person, became the key point, to "know the general", "know the interesting", and take the initiative to testify against the Dongyi people.

Therefore, yesterday Chief Ju asked He Qi to go to the Police Department, and he was teaching He Qi to "understand the general situation" and "know the interesting things". With no more psychological burden, he said affirmatively, "Yes, I went to the Security Office yesterday."

Editor Shao, like a routine interview, simply recorded He Qi's answer, and then read the second question in the sketchbook: "So what is the result of the identification?"

Qian Xuan was serving tea and listening.

He Qi said: "I identified two traffickers and Ichiro Kawamoto."

Qian Xuan put the teacup on the table, and said angrily, "It's obvious that the Dongyi people did it. The evidence is solid. What's the meaning of this announcement from the Police Department?"

Editor-in-chief Shao looked at He Qi for a moment, only to see He Qi cast a veiled look at the right time. The two knew each other well, so they ignored Qian Xuan's question. Editor-in-chief Shao continued to ask: "The two Has the individual trafficker admitted?"

He Qi shook her head and said, "I don't know about that."

Qian Xuan said angrily: "Fuck it, it's obvious, this kind of murderer who murdered my Chinese children should be beheaded in the vegetable market, so as to borrow the spirit in heaven."

Editor Shao frowned, and said, "Deqian, do you want me to record what you said?"

Qian Xuanhong focused her eyes, pointed to the sketchbook and said, "Remember! Don't change a single word, and if it gets published in tomorrow's newspaper, just say that someone from me, Qian, said it."

He Qi stopped him: "Editor Shao, just remember what I said, Deqian didn't go to the security office, he didn't know."

Editor-in-Chief Shao understood what He Qi meant, and stopped writing decisively.

Qian Xuan snatched Shao's editor-in-chief's pen, wrote three pens and two pens, and wrote it himself. The perpetrators were actually scared. What kind of nonsense is this? It was obvious that Brother Qi had identified the mastermind behind the scenes. Because they were Dongyi people, they were afraid and didn't dare. That's why they issued such an announcement. Come to fool me and the common people. Ignoring dozens of bloody cases involving the lives of children, are they still considered human? If I don’t speak out again, am I still considered human? Lao Shao, just publish the newspaper as I said, if you dare Delete a word, don't blame me, Qian, who turned his face."

He Qiwu glanced at Editor-in-Chief Shao.

Editor-in-Chief Shao put away his pen, closed his notebook, packed his bag, glanced at He Qi, and said, "It's nothing, Mr. He, don't worry. In the past, he dared to say even the most outrageous words. As long as he said it, I dared to say it." Deng. When the sky is falling, there must be some reasoning. If we don’t speak up for the common people, no one will speak up. Then there is really no hope in this world.”

"De Qian, Mr. He, I have to go back to work on the manuscript." Editor Shao packed up, carried his bag, and bowed to salute.

"I won't keep you for dinner, go." Qian Xuan waved his hand.

This is another character like "Qian Xuan". It is not an exaggeration to say that he "smells like him". He Qi respects such a person from the bottom of his heart. Only in the eyes is the back of Editor-in-Chief Shao carrying the bag and walking towards the gate.

"No wonder you are on good terms with Editor-in-Chief Shao!" He Qi sat down and took a sip of tea.

"Aren't you the same?" Qian Xuan squinted.

He Qi was stunned, and smiled awkwardly.

Brother Xun came after lunch and brought three pieces of news.

First, the embassies of many countries jointly condemned the thugs and urged China to bring the perpetrators to justice as soon as possible and make the truth known to the public.

Second, some angry people gathered spontaneously to petition, demanding that the Police Department execute the two traffickers and Ichiro Kawamoto, and demand an apology and compensation from the Dongyi people.

Third, the Dongyi Legation issued an announcement, refusing to admit that the church case was related to the Dongyi people, and sternly demanded that the Chinese side investigate clearly and return their innocence. In the name of protecting the overseas Chinese, they demanded that Ichiro Kawamoto be handed over, and refused to apologize. and compensation.

Early the next morning, the latest "Beijing News" was published. The article in the first issue caused an uproar from all walks of life. Editor Shao deserved to be a generation of "stylus". The key point is that the Dongyi people privately asked China to return to the negotiating table on Article 21. This can also explain the reason for the church case. It was that the Dongyi people wanted to take advantage of the Western countries to fight each other. At the same time, they wanted to use despicable means such as the church case to create a gap between China and Western countries, so as to achieve the purpose of isolating China, so that the Dongyi people could pressure China to restart the 21 negotiations.

Only now did He Qi understand that the Dongyi people had this idea.

Driven intentionally or unintentionally by some people, the emotions of the people are like a layer of higher tides, constantly hitting the coast. The number of people assembled today is several times higher than that of yesterday. The patrols of the police department have received orders from above. , all mobilized to guard the various entrances leading to the Dongyi Legation, and used their bodies to form a human wall to resist the progress of the people.

Both ends of Dongjiaomin Alley were blocked, people inside could not get out, and people outside could not get out. The foreigner inspections today also increased a lot of manpower, and the foreign soldiers faced the angry crowd like they were facing an enemy. Dozens of muzzles with black holes are waiting in full battle.

The patrols of the Police Department use their bodies to form a human wall to resist in the front, and the muzzles of foreign soldiers are behind them. There is a vacuum in the middle. As more and more people gather and their anger accumulates, this vacuum is slowly shrinking. .

Although it was the end of September and the sky was high and clear, Ju Chang, who was on the front line, was sweating profusely at this time, took off his hat, and shouted loudly while fanning the wind: "Jini! Damn it! Adjutant Zhang, get over here quickly."

An adjutant in a gray military uniform, red epaulets, a belt around his waist, and leather shoes put one hand on the guy in his waist, and kept wiping the sweat from his head with the other hand. He hurried over, panting. : "Chrysanthemum, what's the matter?"

"Where you're riding a horse, your fart won't work at the critical moment, and even a few ordinary people won't be able to stop you." Ju Chang stared, his face collapsed, and he pointed at the receding wall of people, and shouted: "Go and tell these bastards , if anyone dares to take a step back, labor and management will kill him immediately."

It used to be that things like suppressing unruly people were very simple, just shoot a few shots at will and catch a few leaders who took the lead in making trouble, and it would definitely be settled. However, it is different now. As a result, he was very passive. Adjutant Zhang looked at the black mass of heads and couldn't count them. He was really helpless and complained: "Why don't you let me shoot a few times to scare people and make sure they don't hurt people's lives."

"Get your pen!" Ju Chang was furious when he heard that, with an ugly and scary face, he took out the thing from Adjutant Zhang's waist, loaded and unloaded the insurance in one go, stared at a pair of murderous eyes, and pointed the black muzzle of the gun Adjutant Zhang's forehead: "Let you Ma De do something, if it's windy or rainy, several people can't stop it, labor and management will kill you first."

Adjutant Zhang felt the coolness on his forehead, his whole body trembled from the cold, he gritted his teeth, and said ruthlessly: "Got it, little one, go now, it must be blocked."

Although there is a guarantee from Adjutant Zhang, it is not a problem after all, people will bully the weak and fear the strong, the more they do not take measures to stop them, the more they will push forward, and there will be bloodshed sooner or later, Ju Zhang looked away from the dark crowd Moved to the side of the foreigners, the row of black muzzles will not show the slightest sympathy.
