It took thirty years to excavate a 3-kilometer-long tunnel. A normal person might not need to spend such a long time. But the reporters present did not think so, because they knew that the bookstore had to be open during the day and the tunnel excavation could only be carried out at night. Moreover, the shop owner and his wife must not arouse the suspicion of the surrounding neighbors and acquaintances. There must be no flaws in their daily life. The time they spent digging tunnels may not be very long.
But even so, the couple persisted and spent thirty years finally digging out this tunnel. The old detective standing among his companions was secretly holding back a smile at this time, because he was also a deep diver and knew that the tunnel had been completed decades ago. At this moment, he had understood the intention of the shop owner and his wife from their lies, but he could not provide any help and could only stand here and watch and listen silently.
"Since you can spend thirty years digging a tunnel, why don't you use the treasures you find to hire some capable people to help you get revenge?" At this time, a reporter with an obvious European appearance suddenly shouted loudly. His question made the military police present look sideways at this guy, but the blond reporter's attention was all on the shop owner and his wife, and he didn't care at all about the harsh looks that the military police present looked at him.
The shopkeeper, who had been silent until now, coughed lightly and finally spoke. "Mr. Jin Jiu said that we have hatred, but we are not animals. Our enemies are those damn Japanese soldiers and politicians, not ordinary Japanese people, because Mr. Jin Jiu believes that ordinary Japanese people are also abused by their government. Deceived. If we wanted to retaliate against ordinary Japanese, we would not have come here to lurk in the first place. Instead, we would have detonated bombs at the port when a large number of Japanese expatriates were deported back to Japan."
The shopkeeper's words made many Japanese people present lower their heads, because they knew that Japan played a disgraceful role in the war decades ago. Even the Japanese are obsessed with revenge. If the Japanese army committed bloodshed on the Korean peninsula, the Koreans would inevitably come to Japan to exact revenge. "We don't want to be the beasts Mr. Jin Jiu calls us, so we don't target Japanese civilians. I believe you all know what kind of people go to the shrine to worship."
"The most important thing is that the shrine enshrines the memorial tablets of the Japanese soldiers who died in the war when they sent troops to invade the Korean Peninsula. Maybe you Japanese think that since they are war dead, they should be enshrined, but for us Koreans, Those are damned executioners. They should go to hell after death, instead of being enshrined in the shrine openly. Our original purpose of digging the tunnel was just to burn the tablets in the shrine, but we were worried that innocent people would be affected. So after the tunnel was dug, it was left idle for several years.”
The last words of the shop owner solved another question in the minds of everyone present. Why did the tunnel take thirty years to be dug, but the explosion occurred today? The shop owner and his wife had previously said that they had been lurking here for thirty-nine years. Year! "Six months ago, we accidentally learned that the Prime Minister planned to come to the shrine to worship, and there would be a large number of politicians and military leaders following him, so we started to prepare, because politicians and the military are our enemies."
"This bookstore has been open for more than 30 years, and we have saved a lot of money. There are a lot of weapons in Indonesia and the Philippines. As long as you have money, you can buy any weapons and equipment you want in the local arms black market. I I took the money and contacted two black market brokers. Through them, I obtained a large amount of high explosives. Then today, I exploded. I believe you have all seen the result! This is what we have achieved after persisting for thirty-nine years. The result can be regarded as an explanation to Mr. Jin Jiu."
After the shopkeeper said this, he began to vomit blood from his mouth. The old woman who supported him did not appear panicked, but looked around at everyone with a smile. "My surname is Li, and I am a bloodline of Emperor Gaozong Li Xi! The Japanese invaded Korea, killed my clan, and disrupted my country. In return, I bombed one of your shrines, which is nothing. As for those who died in the shrine, This is just a gift of apology from the Korean people. It's a pity that I didn't have the chance to blow up your palace." The old woman's last words shocked the military and police present.
They were not surprised that the old woman Huo Zhuge in front of them was actually related to the North Korean royal family, but they were surprised that this person actually wanted to blow up the palace. At this moment, the old detective who had been standing in the crowd suddenly shouted, "Their target is His Majesty the Emperor. The Prime Minister and the others just appeared at the wrong time. The one they always wanted to blow up was His Majesty the Emperor." What the old detective said , once again triggered the emotions of everyone present. Compared with the Emperor, the Prime Minister who died in the explosion today and those politicians are not worth mentioning at all.
Because of the old detective's shouting, everyone present looked at the shop owner and his wife at the door of the bookstore. Unfortunately, the old woman did not speak any more. Instead, she supported the pale shopkeeper and slowly retreated into the bookstore step by step. No one present could clearly see what the old woman was holding, but they didn't dare to bet. If what the other party held was really a detonator, they would be in big trouble. The matter seemed to be getting serious, and the senior officials of the Metropolitan Police Department did not dare to make a decision. They could only hand over the issue.
The explosion that occurred at the shrine in the morning not only killed the prime minister and some senior military officials, but also many government officials. Some government departments in Tokyo are now leaderless. There was no department that could handle the matter. In the end, the matter was reported to the military. Someone among the top military officials died in the explosion at the shrine today. When the military learned about this, they immediately became energetic. They didn't care about Jin Jiu and Emperor Gaozong Li Xi. They only knew that they had found the murderer of the bombing.
The military came very quickly. The murderers were just an old couple, so the military only sent a small team. The first thing this small group of Japanese soldiers did when they arrived was to forcefully evacuate everyone gathered here, including the police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department and the reporters. Amid the reporters' curses, this small group of Japanese troops quickly took control of the situation, but they could not control the driven reporters and quietly climbed onto the surrounding rooftops.
After shouting to persuade them to surrender three times in a row, the Japanese soldiers finally became angry when they found the door of the bookstore closed. Under the command of the officer, more than 20 Japanese soldiers rushed to the door of the bookstore, preparing to break in. The military likes to be straightforward when doing things. They thought they had the situation under control, but they underestimated the bookstore couple. It was already the 1980s, and various surveillance equipment had already emerged. The monitor installed above the door of the bookstore was not discovered by these Japanese troops.
These Japanese soldiers who acted as vanguards rushed to the front door of the bookstore, and other Japanese soldiers who were on guard in the street behind started shouting loudly. Along with the exclamations from other Japanese soldiers, two windows on the second floor of the bookstore opened from the inside, and several grenades flew out of the windows. A series of explosions suddenly sounded in the streets where there were only screams of surprise. Along with the dust raised by the explosions, blood burst out. The failure of the first attack made the remaining Japanese soldiers itchy with hatred, but the reporters watching on the surrounding rooftops were secretly overjoyed.
Some well-informed foreign reporters had already obtained information about Jin Jiu and Emperor Gaozong Li Xi at this time, and they also knew better what it meant for the bookstore couple to call themselves Koreans. After the Japanese army's first probing attack failed, they did not retreat, but immediately organized a second attack. This time, the Japanese army only dispatched a dozen people, and Tangcheng chose to attack from the streets on both sides of the bookstore. The probing attack just now made the Japanese army judge that the bookstore owner and his wife were the only ones in the bookstore.
But what they didn't expect was that what was thrown out from the second floor of the bookstore was not a grenade, but a smoke bomb.
. A few smoke da
Falling to the ground one after another, large clouds of white smoke quickly spread outside the bookstore. When the Japanese commander on the scene saw this, he subconsciously shouted loudly, but before his shouts stopped, everyone present heard a burst of rapid gunfire. "Damn it, it's a machine gun!" As a professional soldier, the Japanese major's expression changed drastically. He could already tell that something was wrong with the rapid gunfire.
The gunshots that rang out in the smoke outside the bookstore sounded very urgent, and their faces changed drastically when they heard the gunshots. In addition to the Japanese major who was commanding the scene, there was also a German reporter on the roof a hundred meters away. As a German, this German reporter is not unfamiliar with this kind of gunfire, because this kind of gunfire only comes from one type of German machine gun, that is, the famous mg42 machine gun. It's already the 1980s, and there are still people using machine guns from World War II. This German reporter was instantly enlightened.
The bookstore owner and his wife are indeed using mg42 machine guns at this moment, and not one, but two. The rate of fire of Mg42 is already fast, and because they still use 300-round ammunition belts, the rapid gunfire instantly suppresses all the sounds in the street. Facing the dense rain of bullets, the Japanese army's second attack also ended in failure. Moreover, their casualties were even greater than in the experimental attack just now, and less than a quarter of the Japanese troops completely withdrew.
The Japanese army failed twice, but after all, there were only the owner and his wife in the bookstore. After the Japanese army arrived, the situation was instantly reversed. Under continuous attacks by a large number of Japanese troops regardless of casualties, the Japanese troops finally rushed into the bookstore. After an explosion caused a fire, the confrontation finally came to an end. The bookstore owner and his wife who resisted to the end died in the explosion fire inside the bookstore, but the Japanese investigation continued.
