The sandbags and barbed wire fences piled up at the entrance of Ping'an Lane were in disarray, and traces of bullets and explosions could be seen everywhere on the wall stacks. It was obvious that the wall stacks were once shooting holes for the defenders.
The Japanese military police have three posts, five steps and one sentry.
Early this morning, the Japanese military police broke through Ping'an Lane and started a large-scale manhunt, aiming to catch all the rioters.
Lu Ming was stopped by the Japanese military police at the entrance of the alley.
They were chattering in Japanese, and stabbed Lu Ming and his group with cold swords.
Lu Ming was accompanied by seven or eight people, including Gommert, the vice president of the Heishan Daily, Zhou Xiaoguo, a lawyer at the Heishan Guangming Law Firm, Cheng Wanjun, deputy director of the Wanzhou New Life Movement Committee, Zhang Daniu, a mining worker in Heishan, and the Red Cross Society of the Montenegro Special Administrative Region. Board of Directors Wang Ming, freelance writer Tiesuo, Benevolent Alliance member Dr. Gao Jiansheng, etc.
Of course, standing in the front row blocking the Japanese guns were a row of young men in peaked caps.
At the same time, several combat groups from nearby air service regiments quickly occupied favorable terrain.
Gohmert walked a few steps. He knew more than ten languages of various ethnic groups, and then he began to chatter.
The general meaning is that we are a human rights observation team established by the Montenegro Special Administrative Region in response to the May 25 incident to investigate the recent war in Shengjing and possible human rights violations.
The chief observer of the observation team is Mr. Zhang, the Minister Plenipotentiary of our Montenegro Special Administrative Region in Shengjing. Why don't you go and report it to your commander?
Looking at a behemoth approaching with huge noise in the sky, the black hole of the machine gun on the heavy helicopter.
A Japanese military policeman who looked like a squad leader quickly ran into the alley.
"Eh? Ichiro?" Lu Ming felt that a person in the row of Japanese military police in front of him looked familiar. After thinking about it, he remembered it, Ichiro Okawa.
He was once the captain of the Nanping Gendarmerie, but a child of a big family he protected was killed by Qing'e, and the Gendarmerie was also expelled by himself.
Gangchuan Ichiro's eyelids were twitching, as if he didn't see Lu Ming who was smiling and greeting him.
Looking at his rank as a private, Lu Ming coughed and was demoted to a private. However, it was remarkable that this guy could save his life.
Soon, a major Japanese officer came into the alley with a scar on his face and a very ferocious look. He kept glancing at Lu Ming.
Lu Ming ignored him and Gohmert went to communicate with him.
The wooden board of the booth next to it was full of bullet holes and broken, but it was obvious that the telephone inside was a new one and the phone lines were connected.
The Japanese officer entered the booth and hung up the phone.
After a while, he came out with the phone and said, "Mr. Zhang, Minister Kawamoto would like to speak to you." There was a very unconvinced look on his face.
Lu Ming nodded, and a young man in a peaked hat took the microphone and brought it to Lu Ming.
"Zhang Sang, what happened?" Masayoshi Kawamoto asked anxiously, "Why didn't you communicate with me in advance?"
Lu Ming sighed, "I can't help it. General Lu is in accordance with the agreement he signed when he joined the Eastern Economic Alliance. He must fulfill his obligations as a member of the alliance. We must investigate any human rights violations that may be involved in the SAR, and we should conduct random inspections." Recruiting independent observers, I can now serve as the chief representative of the observation team, and the candidates for the observers have also been specially selected, which is the best result possible."
"Yesterday, the East China Sea Council also sent an official letter asking for the truth about the 525 incident. Because Shengjing and Montenegro are closely related, the Alliance Committee also asked our Montenegro to form an investigation team to conduct a detailed investigation and submit an investigation report."
"What should we do?" Masayoshi Kawamoto asked tentatively. He probably couldn't trust what Lu Ming said, but was trying to figure out what the Montenegrins wanted to do.
Lu Ming said: "Several observers are going into Ping'an Lane because they heard that your military personnel are committing violence here."
Masayoshi Kawamoto was silent for a while and said resolutely: "Okay, you wait for me! I will accompany your observation group into Ping'an Lane."
"That won't work, Kawamoto, you give the order, the observers will enter in five minutes at most, otherwise, they will think that traces of war crimes are being erased inside." Lu Ming looked at his watch, "There are still four minutes and fifty-five seconds. .”
Kawamoto was obviously gritting his teeth, but said in a low voice: "Please Zhang Sang, please return the phone to Major Suzuki."
Soon the phone was returned to the hand of the military police captain, the scar-faced Suzuki. Suzuki cheered a few times, but the tone was the same.
"Mr. Zhang, please wait a moment with all the observers!" Suzuki bowed and walked quickly into the alley.
A few minutes later, the phone at the sentry station rang. After the squad leader went to answer it, he made a gesture, and the wire fence was moved away, and the Japanese military police also stepped aside.
Ping'an Lane was originally the largest Western middle-class gathering area in Shengjing, with rows of two-story buildings and thousands of courtyards. It was extremely green and full of flower beds, fountains and small squares.
But now when walking in it, there is a faint smell of blood.
There was still thick black smoke rising from some small buildings.
In the fountain flower bed square that suddenly opened up shortly after entering the community, hundreds of Westerners, men, women, old and young, were sitting dejectedly, some with blood stains on their bodies.
There are also more than a dozen Western men tied to trees. In addition, there are trees where no one is tied, but there are blood stains on and under the trees.
Looking at the trees with no people tied up, Lu Ming glanced at Major Suzuki who was walking beside him, and said in a deep voice: "An informant provided us with information. You just stabbed the prisoners to death with bayonets here. Yes." ?"
Major Suzuki was startled, his expression became strange, and he looked around. He obviously didn't know how the news was leaked. They only broke through here because it was dark. The big manhunt had just begun, and there was still sporadic resistance. Several people here were The leader stabbed the lambs to death with a bayonet in front of them to be slaughtered, which was what happened just now.
"Mr. Zhang, many houses here have not been searched yet, and there must be many thugs hiding inside. Therefore, for the safety of the observers, you and the observers should wait here."
He was a master at changing the subject. He waved his hand and muttered a few words, and soon a military policeman came over dragging a Western man with a smile on his face and deep fear in his eyes.
"Mr. Zhang, his name is Alfonso, and he is the municipal councilor of this community. You and the observers can ask him what happened here."
Lu Ming looked at this Western man with a flattering smile on his face. It was obvious that he was an actor arranged temporarily.
However, Gohmert and others, and the accompanying affairs officer had already picked up the notebook to record, and they all asked Alfonso about the situation here.
According to Alfonso, riots broke out here since May 25. Most of the residents here supported the rioters and used this place as their base camp to go out and loot. It was not until early this morning that the riot was suppressed by the Japanese military police.
Lu Ming shook his head as he listened, but in fact, this has been true in past and present lives, especially for wars or riots. How true is the information that the outside public finally gets?
