Chapter 559 Framed
The Japanese people are in a very bad mood. They have resorted to all means, including burning, looting, smashing and even killing. They had originally intended to use them on East Africa, but unfortunately they were led astray by the East African National Defense and Security Agency, which evacuated immediately after the trouble. It would have been terrible for them to have stayed there and been caught.
"Bang."
The bustling Russian embassy suddenly became quiet and everyone was stunned.
With a gunshot, the soldiers of the Russian embassy opened fire and a Japanese thug was shot dead on the spot. This matter could not be resolved peacefully at all.
"You thugs, we must ask your king for an explanation. This is a humiliation to the great Russia!"
But before he could finish his words, the Japanese became even angrier, "The Germans are killing people! The Germans are killing people!" Of course, there were also people shouting that the Russians were killing people, but the momentum was not as great as the former, which completely confused the two.
The crowd at the gate of the East African Embassy, mainly the students, were stunned. They also heard the gunshots and at the same time heard "The Germans are killing people!" But wasn't the gate of the East African Embassy closed? How did the Germans kill people?
Of course, no one stipulates that Germans must be East Africans, and no one stipulates that Germans must stay in the embassy.
Many people heard the gunshots and instead ran towards the direction of the gunshots, driven by strong curiosity. Although there was potential danger, it would not scare the Japanese, and no one stopped them, so naturally some people came forward to watch the fun.
Here we have to blame the Japanese police who disappeared from the streets. The embassy area is an important area, so the security was very good in the past, but today the police disappeared.
The Japanese police certainly did not disappear for no reason. They had been waiting for the opportunity. When gunshots were heard in the embassy area, someone knew that things had gotten out of hand.
At this time, Japanese police who were running around began to evacuate the crowd in the embassy area. When the police arrived, agents from the East African Defense Security Agency passed by them.
"All outsiders, please leave immediately and don't stand outside and cause trouble!"
The crowded crowd makes it difficult for the Japanese police to enter the scene, so they have to clear out some of the people outside first.
At the same time, they also want to know what is happening inside the embassy district. If a Japanese citizen was beaten to death by an East African, that would be perfect. In this way, the subsequent international public opinion would tend to be favorable to Japan.
Of course, these Japanese police officers have not yet been exposed to this level, but when they were suddenly transferred away in the morning, they felt in their hearts that today's events were not simple. There must be something their superiors wanted to do!
Under the Japanese police's beatings, naturally no one dared to cause trouble. But when it came to the core point of the conflict, they were dumbfounded.
"This...is this the Russian Embassy?" a police officer asked uncertainly.
At this moment, the Russian embassy was in a mess, with broken glass everywhere, and tables, chairs and sofas scattered all over the floor. Some people wanted to move out, but they couldn't squeeze out, so they could only grab small items to make it easier to escape. The furniture was tilted, the floor was full of footprints, and even the wall was blackened by a fire set by someone unknown.
And the most crucial thing is that there was a group of wounded people lying in the embassy, and there was a Japanese corpse lying in the hall, with his chest obviously pierced by a bullet.
"What happened here?" The Japanese policeman was a little stunned, and suddenly he realized that something was wrong!
"Hurry, we can't let them get away, arrest everyone!"
"Boss, who are you arresting?"
"Of course it's the troublemakers! Now someone has died, and he's a Russian. This is a big deal!"
"There were too many people just now! Unless we block everyone on the entire street here, I'm afraid that many people have already escaped, and we don't have enough manpower."
The Japanese policeman who was called the leader said with a sullen face, "Let us block the entire block. We will arrest as many as we can now! If the suspect runs away, you will be responsible for any trouble."
"I can't afford that."
"Why don't you go and catch him?" He kicked his subordinate in the butt.
"Hi."
At this time, a Russian got up from the ground and saw that the Japanese police had dispersed the danger. He stood up and said, "Who is in charge?"
The Japanese soldier who had just been showing off to me hurried forward and said with a smile, "It's me."
"Who are you?"
"Edo City Roppongi Police Chief Aida Nosa."
Hearing that it was the sheriff, the Russian slapped Xiang Tianye on the left cheek and cursed: "You bastards, why don't you rescue Minister Cherlevsky quickly? If something happens to the Minister, none of you will have a good life!"
After being slapped, Xiang Tianye Zuo dared not speak out but groveled and said: "We failed in our duty. We are sorry, sir!"
As a result, he was slapped again.
"I asked you to save him, not to apologize. Minister Cherlevsky was just hit by a mob and is still unconscious. Hurry and take him to the hospital!"
"Hi."
Ignoring the swelling and pain on his face, Xiang Tianye slowly directed his men to rescue Cherlevsky.
"Still breathing, okay, okay."
"Sheriff, there are too many people outside. I'm afraid it will be difficult to send them to the hospital."
Aida Nozo said with a dark face: "The life of the Minister is the most important thing now. Let the crowd squeeze into a rice ball to make a path for me. Beat up anyone who gets in the way!"
"Hi."
After a busy day, the Japanese police, after gathering most of the police force in Edo, arrested more than 50,000 people on the spot, and the prisons and detention centers were overcrowded.
The top brass of the police agency looked so gloomy that water could be squeezed out of them.
"Bakayalu, why didn't the East African legation get hurt, but they stormed into the Russian embassy instead? Can't these idiots tell the difference between national flags? They haven't seen the East African flag, but they should know the Russian flag, right?"
The subordinates did not dare to speak and listened to the lecture of the Chief of the Edo Police Department.
"How is Minister Cherzevsky doing now?"
"Nothing serious, just got bumped and stepped on a few times, and there are a few bruises on my face."
Snap, a crisp slap was heard.
"Asshole, if Minister Cherlevsky is killed, then all the idiots here, including me! None of them can escape punishment. Moreover, Minister Cherlevsky was hit in the face, which is already a very serious diplomatic incident!"
"Commander-in-Chief, I don't think our police department is to blame for this. This time it wasn't caused by our negligence, but by the request of the military and the government. By the time we arrived at the scene, it was too late, so our police department shouldn't be held responsible."
"Huh, do you think I don't know? The problem is that from the moment they rushed into the Russian Embassy, we were responsible for this."
At this point, the Chief of the Edo Police Department was also furious. The order was issued by his superiors, but he knew that he would most likely be blamed because the Russians would definitely cause trouble for the Edo police. After all, the daily security in the embassy area was maintained by the police. The Japanese government was just pretending to do so and wanted to make an example of itself as the person most responsible.
"This group of damned students, they are more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything. They can't even tell the difference between East Africa and Tsarist Russia. Okay, you guys quickly find the 'murderer', otherwise..."
"Captain, the scene was too chaotic, and it's impossible to find the murderer. Even if we can find the murderer, it will probably take a long time, which is enough time for the Russian government to take action!"
"If there is no murderer, then the people who started the riot will be charged. Even if they are not the murderer, they are the ones now!"
"But, Chief, the leader this time is Edo First Boys High School, where all the students are either rich or noble..."
"I don't care. Someone has to share our pressure. These children of the rich and powerful are just right. So let's find more. As the saying goes, the law cannot punish the masses."
This was a blatant frame-up, but the Chief of the Edo Police Department felt at ease. If he took it all on his own, he would probably become a scapegoat. If he involved some children of the powerful and wealthy, things would be much easier.
