Chapter 512: Two shots fired at the door lock
Que Dongjin saw that there were only twenty minutes left before the first train was boarded, and he thought that Colonel Muto would definitely not come on this train.
Que Dongjin looked around. There were more and more people. Some people looked around impatiently with their tickets in hand, as the bus was about to depart in twenty minutes. Some people, however, were still sitting on the benches, squinting their eyes.
Que Dongjin knew that many of those impatient people were taking the train for the first time and were anxious. The people with narrowed eyes were regular train customers. Although their eyes were narrowed, their minds were bright and they were aware of everything going on around them.
Que Dongjin thought that Colonel Mu Teng would not catch this train. Just as he was thinking this, the crowd in front of the station suddenly surged, and then two rows of Japanese soldiers ran in. He came?
Que Dongjin observed calmly as the Japanese soldiers began to check the people in the station. The timid people's faces changed when they saw the Japanese soldiers, while the brave ones pretended not to see anything. They knew that the Japanese soldiers had either discovered anti-Japanese elements or that a high-ranking official had come here.
The Japanese soldiers just checked the IDs of the people inside as a routine and did not make any big moves. When the ticket checking started, Que Dongjin did not find Colonel Muto. After the two teams of Japanese soldiers finished the inspection, they also left the train station. Que Dongjin was a little confused. What were these little Japanese soldiers doing?
After a while, more than ten people walked into the door. They looked like ordinary passengers, but Que Dongjin soon discovered that they were Japanese in plain clothes.
These Japs are so funny. First they checked openly, and now they are monitoring secretly. They must be looking for anyone suspicious.
Que Dongjin had a clue in his mind. He knew that Colonel Mu Teng would be on the next train. Que Dongjin hunched over and went into the bathroom. He thought it was too risky to take action before getting on the train. It seemed that he had to wait until he got on the train to find an opportunity.
After Que Dongjin had made all the preparations in the bathroom, he came out and sat on the stool with his eyes half closed. He found that the plainclothes officers did not disturb other passengers. They sat like ordinary passengers, but their eyes were never idle.
Que Dongjin was trying to figure out if these people were just escorting Colonel Mu Teng onto the train, or were they also escorting him to the final destination? If they followed him onto the train, it would be difficult to strike him from there.
Twenty minutes before the second train departed, Que Dongjin heard the sound of a car. He knew that Colonel Muto had arrived.
After a while, Colonel Mu Teng really came in, surrounded by four people. Que Dongjin found that the plainclothes officers had become nervous, but they had almost formed a circle, all choosing the best position. If there was anything unusual around them, it would not escape their eyes.
When a middle-aged man reached behind him, two plainclothes officers suddenly came up and held him down: "Baga! What are you doing?"
The middle-aged man's face turned pale with fear. He looked at the two people and said, "I am a good citizen, a very good citizen."
Two plainclothes officers took out a pipe from behind the middle-aged man. They looked at each other, let go of the middle-aged man, and the plainclothes officer holding the pipe knocked on the middle-aged man's head: "You, be quiet! Sit down!"
"Yes, yes, I want to smoke a cigarette." The middle-aged man said as he looked at the plainclothes officer, his body still shaking.
The plainclothes officer threw the pipe to the middle-aged man. The man caught the pipe and touched the tobacco pouch that fell on the pipe with trembling hands. He took out some tobacco, put it in the pipe, lit it and started to smoke. He took a few puffs and his heart seemed to calm down and his hands stopped shaking.
At this time, Colonel Kido had already walked through the crowd and entered the VIP waiting room.
The ticket check started. Que Dongjin stood hunched over in line. He noticed that plainclothes officers at the ticket checkpoint were carefully watching everyone entering. The inspectors also kept feeling around in passengers' pockets, opening and inspecting anyone with a bag.
Que Dongjin handed over the ticket. Seeing that he was empty-handed, the ticket inspector felt around in his two pockets, then stroked down his trouser legs and let him in.
The train started and left the station. Que Dongjin discovered that the plainclothes officers did not get on the train, which means that Colonel Kito only brought four capable bodyguards.
Que Dongjin pretended to be an idler and started walking around the workshop, looking for Colonel Muto's private room. After passing through the ordinary carriages, Que Dongjin came to the private room. He knew that there must be four bodyguards guarding it. Colonel Muto would not be in the private room without bodyguards.
"Baga! Stop! What are you doing here?" Someone shouted at Que Dongjin.
"This is it!" Que Dongjin thought, "I, I need to poop, look...look..."
Que Dongjin looked flustered, like a country bumpkin taking a train for the first time.
"Baga! Go over there!" said a plainclothes Japanese soldier.
"Over there? Where? I don't see any place to poop." Que Dongjin pretended to be confused.
"Baga! Get out!"
"I'm getting out, I'm getting out! Over there, right?" Que Dongjin walked towards the direction the plainclothes officer was pointing.
When Que Dongjin entered the bathroom, he looked around. No one paid attention to him. The plainclothes officer who yelled at him didn't even look at him. He just stood in front of the door with his whole heart. Que Dongjin thought, there were two plainclothes officers outside, so there must be two bodyguards inside. To kill the two bodyguards outside, he would have to deal with the three people inside. It was indeed a bit difficult, but he had to do it even if it was dangerous.
Que Dongjin took out a dagger and a pistol from his back in the bathroom. He no longer dressed up as a white-haired, hunchbacked old man. The white hair was gone and his back was straightened.
When Que Dongjin walked out of the bathroom, he glanced at the two bodyguards out of the corner of his eye and found that they were standing there very alertly. He was not in a position to get close to them. If he was too far away, he was afraid of alarming the three people inside.
Que Dongjin could only wait for the opportunity, or find another way to get close to the two bodyguards so that they would not feel threatened. Que Dongjin walked to his seat and sat down, observing the people around him, thinking about what to do in his mind.
Que Dongjin found a child of a few years old. He wanted the child to help him, but he quickly refused because he was afraid of hurting the child.
The train continued to move forward. Que Dongjin closed his eyes. He didn't know the background of the four bodyguards. If all four of them were masters, the fight would be very thrilling, and it would be hard to say whether they could kill Colonel Muto.
Que Dongjin decided to give it a try. He stood up and began to observe the window glasses of each carriage. If the assassination failed, he would be in danger and would have to jump out of the window to escape.
Que Dongjin discovered that there was a window close to the bodyguards, which was a good place to escape. However, it was not the only escape route. He had identified the second and third escape routes. These two escape routes were backup routes, so he could fight and retreat at the same time. Once he got here, he could break out through the window.
Que Dongjin had found a way out and decided to start the action. He lowered his head and walked casually, his ears carefully listening for any sound.
The two bodyguards heard the footsteps and looked back. They saw someone walking towards them. One of them shouted, "Stop!"
The moment Que Dongjin saw them turn around, two daggers flew out. Que Dongjin knew that ordinary people could not dodge his daggers, let alone the narrow train aisle.
However, the two bodyguards dodged the dagger by turning their heads and shot at Que Dongjin at the same time. Que Dongjin saw that something was wrong and jumped up to avoid the bullets and shot at the bodyguards.
One bodyguard was shot and fell, and the other rolled on the ground, dodging the bullet. What a quick move! Colonel Muto's other two bodyguards must be even more powerful !
Que Dong fired his gun quickly, and after several shots, he finally killed the bodyguard on the ground. He quickly came to the door, fired two shots at the door lock, and kicked the door open. He knew that the moment he kicked the door open, the people inside were blocked from view by the door panel, and his shooting speed would not be slower than theirs.
However, Que Dongjin was dumbfounded! There was no one inside. Que Dongjin knew that Colonel Mu Teng was far more cunning than he had imagined. If he went out to assassinate Colonel Mu Teng at this time, it would be difficult! He might even be shot by the two bodyguards.
Que Dongjin knocked on the compartment window, looked at the door he had kicked open, and jumped off the train. At that moment, a dozen people on the train surrounded him with guns drawn. However, the two bodyguards still did not show up. They were in the third compartment from where Que Dongjin had jumped out of the window, protecting Colonel Muto.
The two men positioned themselves at the door from the perfect angle. Once the door was pushed open, bullets would fly in from all directions. Colonel Kito lay sprawled on the bed, a steel plate blocking his path. A hole was left in the plate, and he thrust his rifle through it, aiming it at the door. He knew that with the three of them firing at the door, not even a fly would be able to get in. He also knew that the number of people attempting to sneak up on him would be limited, perhaps two or three at most. More than that wouldn't be enough to maneuver in the aisle of the train.
Colonel Muto had placed two bodyguards outside the door as scouts. He knew it was impossible for them to be killed quietly. He believed no one was so skilled. If anyone could kill them quietly, he would be in real danger.
After jumping off the train, Que Dongjin rolled several times on the ground. His assassination attempt had failed. He knew that a severe test was coming. He had never faced Colonel Muto directly, and he didn't know his true strengths. Even today, they hadn't faced each other directly, but he had failed. It was clear that Colonel Muto was not an easy opponent, and the fact that he had invited his uncle to come, it seemed that his uncle was indeed a master among masters!
Que Dongjin lay on the ground. Knowing that this was a wilderness with no people, he simply closed his eyes and rested for a while, then turned around and climbed onto the return train.
Que Dongjin not only thought about the strength of his future opponent, but also worried about Sai Huaxiang. His assassination attempt failed, and Colonel Mu Teng would definitely suspect Sai Huaxiang after he returned. He had to persuade Sai Huaxiang to leave Colonel Mu Teng no matter what!
Que Dongjin also knew that it was not easy to persuade Sai Huaxiang to leave. She said that she wanted to see Colonel Mu Teng killed and her revenge avenged, only then would she feel at ease.
