Chapter 89
Jiang Yunying had not found a place to live for the time being, so Guan Shijie gave up his room. He set a bed in front of the counter downstairs tonight and made a few days.
In the evening three days later, an armored car drove away from the branch of the Manchurian Central Bank on the Shangbu Road.
The armored truck must cross Dongliu Road and Dongsi Road, and finally arrive at the Manchurian Central Bank headquarters in Nanguan.
The driver of the armored truck was familiar with driving and drove as usual. When he reached halfway up Dongsi Road, the road ahead was blocked. A sign was hung on the iron railing blocking the road: Construction ahead, please detour.
The driver knew that the previous section of the road had been disrepair for a long time and had been bumpy and bumpy. Although this section of the road was not closed when we came, it is normal to close the road construction now.
This situation always happens several times a year, and the driver doesn't think much about it. He turns into a small path as soon as he hits the steering wheel.
Drivers are familiar with the paths in this area. If they go around the small path for about one kilometer, they will return to the main road.
This section of the road is not narrow, but it seems a bit remote. Most of the roads are low bungalows on both sides, and the residents are basically small vendors in the city.
The armored car drove through the bungalow area, ahead of which was a mass grave from the late Qing Dynasty.
Drivers often believe in the sayings of ghosts and gods. When the car drove to the mass grave, they muttered Amitabha Buddha.
Suddenly the wheel tilted and slid towards the roadside. The driver quickly turned the wheel, and the armored truck did not fall into the ditch.
"It's broken, the tires are broken." The driver said based on his experience: "I'll get out of the car and change the tires."
The three escorts looked around with guns in their arms. Without realizing any special circumstances, they took out cigarettes and began to suck in the car.
As soon as the driver got off the carriage, he saw two and three horses coming in front of him. The carriage was piled with straw and stacked up very high.
The driver raised his whip and shouted "Driving!"
The escort was very alert when sitting in the passenger seat and turned around to the two escorts in the back seat and said, "There are two carriages ahead, so let's be careful."
"This is all for delivering fodder to the big car shop. The roads on the big road are closed and I've also walked from here. It's okay."
"Be careful," said another escort.
The three of them stared at the carriage, and only felt relieved when the first carriage ran over.
Just as they relaxed their vigilance, the second carriage had already run to the front of the cab.
Suddenly, the handlebar stood up and pulled open the door with his left hand. Then the handlebar jumped on the pedal of the armored truck, and pointed a box gun with his right hand at the escort in the passenger seat and fired the gun, "Bow!"
The escort in the passenger seat fell head-on on the steering wheel. One of the escorts in the seats in the back had some experience in changing things. Seeing that the situation was not good, he opened the rear door and jumped down.
The escort on the left was shot to death before he could react.
The escort who jumped out of the car had just landed on the ground, and three or four people came out of the straw from the first carriage he had just run over, all of whom were holding a box gun in his hand, and they were aimed at this person and fired.
Three or four people came out of the straw pile of the second carriage. The driver raised his hand and said, "Dear uncles, I am just driving. Please don't kill me."
The leader raised his hand and shot him, and the driver died.
The escort who rolled into the ditch knew that he would inevitably die, so he also raised his gun and fought back.
For a moment, gunfire sounded loudly.
The escort is now hoping that the gunfire will attract patrol police and the police on Dongsi Road.
The seven policemen and four patrolmen at the Dongsi Road Police Station also heard the gunshots, but they could not get out because two groups of people were fighting and they were dissuading them at the scene of the fight.
Just as this side was opened, another fight was reached. Both sides held their own opinions and refused to give in to each other.
The cause of the incident was very simple. One person walked and accidentally hit another person. Coincidentally, the other person was carrying a small basket of eggs in his hand.
Another person wants to compensate, and the person who hits the person agrees. However, there is a dispute over the compensation price.
This time was the time to get off work. The two of them quarrel attracted their relatives and friends, and finally they had a big fight.
The gunshots didn't last long and disappeared in a few minutes.
After the police station dissuading and mediation, the two groups of people who fought finally dispersed with satisfaction.
At around six o'clock, two people passing by the mass grave ran to the Dongsi Road police station and called the police that there was an armored car and four bodies on the way to the mass grave.
When the police officer who received the police heard this, he felt that it was of great importance and hurriedly reported to the Shangbu Dama Road Police Branch.
At around half past six, more than a dozen police cars were parked at the site of the mass grave.
Dozens of police officers blocked the scene and investigated the armored trucks, bodies, and suspicious objects nearby.
It was soon concluded that this was a premeditated case of robbing the armored car.
The amount of money given by the Manchurian Central Bank was 563,485 yuan.
This is the first case of a robbery of an armored vehicle since the founding of the Manchukuo State. Therefore, it has attracted the extreme attention of senior officials of the puppet Manchukuo State in the Japanese Kanto Army Headquarters.
At the crime scene, the police found scattered straws and ruts left by the carriage. On the door of the armored carriage, a dagger was found with a pattern like a bird.
At the same time, the Manchurian Police Department blocked the route from Xinjing and set up checkpoints at the railway station and docks to check vehicles and all passing personnel.
The Japanese Kanto Army Command sent special agents to the Special High School Division and all personnel from the Manchurian Secret Service to work with the Manchurian Police Agency to solve the case.
Police stations and security teams at all levels also checked door to door, with the focus on car shops, inns, and hotels. Once suspicious people are found, they can be arrested first.
That night, two carriages with some straw were found in a large cart shop in Nanguan, and six horses tied to the cattle shed. After interrogation, several customers were placed here, but the guests had long disappeared.
After some investigation, the police found that the six horses and two carriages were purchased at the cattle and horse market the day before yesterday. The appearance of the horse buyer was basically the same as the description of the shopkeeper of the cart shop.
For a whole night, all the car shops, inns, hotels, theaters, and brothels in Xinjing were tossed three or four times, and more than 100 suspicious people were arrested.
Guan Shijie's fur merchant company was also tossed by the police station and the security team twice. After checking Guan Shijie, Zheng Pingru and Jiang Yunying's good civil certificates, they searched each room one by one, and then they decided to give up until they confirmed that there were no suspicious people.
He was tossed twice in one night, and Guan Shijie was sleepless. He knew that the people from Zuoshan Diao had successfully robbed the armored car, and the next plan began to brew in his mind.
The only thing I hope for now is that the beards have left Changchun and returned to the deep mountains and forests.
