Chapter 312: The Sword is Drawn
"What? Police station? Which police station?" Su Bai stood up.
"Only the Municipal Council has a police station!" Dr. Miao didn't understand what Su Bai meant.
What Su Bai wanted to know was whether the visitor was from the International Settlement Police Station or the French Concession Police Station.
After Dr. Miao said this, Su Bai realized that his question was a bit stupid. This was originally an international concession. Why would the police from the French Concession come here to enforce the law?
"Sister, please hide." Wan Qili stopped Su Bai who was about to go out.
"They are already here. Is it too late to hide?"
"Yes, their car was driving very fast and rushed directly into the yard and crushed a bucket we had in the yard," said Dr. Miao.
Su Bai left the house and came to the playground. He saw a black Ford parked in the middle of the playground. Five policemen stood beside the car with their hands on their hips and legs apart. The leader, a man with a moustache, was holding a pistol in the air and waving it back and forth: "Everyone inside, come out and assemble!"
"Running dogs!" Su Bai cursed inwardly. These five people were all Chinese, and they were so arrogant while serving as dogs for foreigners.
Su Bai saw that, apart from the medical staff, no wounded soldier came out of the ward. There were only a few standing at the door looking out.
"Who is in charge among you?" asked the man with a mustache.
"Me!" Wan Qili stood up before Su Bai.
"You?" The man with the mustache looked Wan Qili up and down: "Are you Lan Jieru?"
As expected, they were targeting me. The French Concession, the International Settlement and the Japanese were in the same boat on this matter.
"I'm Lan Jieru!" Su Bai took a step forward despite Xu Tianyi's obstruction: "What do you want from me?"
At this moment, accompanied by the roar of a car, a truck drove into Saint Marie, with seven or eight armed gendarmes standing on the car.
After a sharp brake sound, the truck stopped next to the Ford car and a man jumped out of the cab.
Isn’t this the same military police major who came to investigate the attack on St. Mary last time?
Su Bai saw Wan Qili's eyes lighting up beside him.
When the major praised Wan Qili to Su Bai, he said that Wan Qili was once his student in the special training class.
He saluted Su Bai first and said, "I am the commander of the Third Battalion of the First Military Police Regiment, Yang Rufeng. I have been ordered to search for and arrest the fugitive Ma Da. Please cooperate!"
After putting down his saluting hand, his tone immediately became calm, and he asked Su Bai: "Madam, are you the person in charge here?"
After Yang Rufeng asked this, Su Bai's heart was immediately relieved. Captain Yang was acting for the patrolmen. With him around, the patrolmen couldn't do anything here.
Wan Qili had already understood it, and when she saw her former instructor her eyes just lit up a little brighter than usual and she pretended not to know him.
As expected of a spy, he is really good at pretending.
"Hello, Captain Yang, I'm the person in charge here, my name is Lan Jieru." Su Bai had no choice but to follow suit: "Ma Da is no longer with us."
"Then where did he go?" Captain Yang still had a pleasant face: "Miss Lan, you can't hide it. Ma Da is guilty of a heinous crime. If you shield him, you will be punished as well, right?"
"I know, but I really don't know where he went."
Captain Yang stroked his chin as if thinking: "It seems that this Ma Da must have heard something and ran away."
He turned to the mustache man and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot your last name."
This is clearly disrespectful to the man with a mustache. They were working together to catch someone, but he forgot each other's last name when they just met. It must have been intentional.
At this time, the gendarmes in the car had jumped out and stood in a row.
I don’t know if the mustache guy didn’t realize that Captain Yang was looking down on him, or if he was just very generous, so he smiled and replied, “My last name is Mai.”
"Remember it, Mike, right?"
Su Bai suddenly felt like vomiting. Mike, have you even forgotten your ancestors?
She thought of Han Charlie, who gave himself a weird name in order to please the French, but at least he didn't change his last name.
But Charlie Han is not a bad person.
People are so selfish. When they see Mike, they secretly call him a dog, but when it comes to their friends' turn, they forgive him unconsciously.
In fact, Su Bai also knew that Charlie Han was just not too bad.
Captain Yang asked Mike: "What should we do if the person escapes?"
Mike immediately raised the gun in his hand: "Search!"
Captain Yang pressed down his hand holding the gun: "Don't worry, as long as the person is here, he will not be able to escape!"
He turned around and ordered the soldiers behind him: "Fire!"
He told Su Bai that several ambulance teams, including the St. Mary's Ambulance, had been attacked some time ago. The higher-ups were furious and ordered the gendarmerie and the police station to strengthen the protection of the ambulance and rescue teams.
But the situation at the front is tight, and it is not realistic to withdraw a large number of soldiers and police to protect hundreds of rescue teams of all sizes. Under the current conditions, we can only distribute some guns and ammunition. Fortunately, everyone here is a soldier, and the lightly wounded soldiers can fight.
The quantity distributed varied depending on the size of the unit. The St. Mary's Rescue Team was given two pistols, eight rifles, and 1000 rounds of bullets.
"The guns belong to the ambulance team. The wounded soldiers cannot take them away when they are discharged from the hospital." Captain Yang instructed Su Bai.
At this time, the wounded soldiers came out of the ward one after another, and Captain Yang saluted everyone: "Brothers, thank you for your hard work!"
Su Bai felt touched.
Captain Yang then turned around and said to the mustache man, "Let's go, it's okay."
"I haven't searched yet..."
"What the hell are you searching for? If you can find it, I'll give you my head. If you can't find it, you give me a hundred dollars. How about a bet?"
Captain Yang is being stupid on purpose.
"Then..." The man with the mustache pointed at Su Bai: "Ma Da is hers, we have to take her back!"
The truth was finally revealed.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Mike, the order I received was to arrest Ma Da, no one else!" Captain Yang's tone hardened.
The mustache guy was not to be outdone: "I must bring back the people related to the criminal to cooperate with the investigation!"
Captain Yang curled his lips and pointed at Xu Tianyi beside Su Bai and said to the mustache man: "If you dare to attack Miss Lan, I guarantee that all 20 bullets in his gun will be embedded in your stomach."
Xu Tianyi was holding a gun at this time, with half of the handle exposed.
"You've heard about the Japanese attack on the St. Mary's Ambulance, right? None of the six spies escaped alive. Do you think your patrol officers are more capable than spies?"
After Captain Yang said this, the man with a mustache was speechless.
Battalion Commander Yang pointed at the wounded soldiers who had just received their guns and warned the man with a mustache not to be like he did today, who was eager to make a contribution and took advantage of his car to rush into the rescue team without waiting for the military police to arrive. That would easily lead to his death.
As he said this, he turned around and announced: The superiors have ordered that anyone who trespasses into the rescue team with bad intentions will be killed without mercy.
The mustache guy was anxious: "This is the International Settlement!"
"This is a war, this is a battlefield!" Captain Yang responded sharply.
"The International Settlement is managed by Britain and the United States. It is not a place where you can do whatever you want!"
Captain Yang suddenly pulled out his gun, scaring the man with a mustache so much that he took a half step back.
Captain Yang pointed his gun at the mustache man and said, "I'm warning you one last time. Before your foreign masters negotiate to have us evacuate this place, this is a military stronghold. Those who trespass into a military stronghold will face the same consequences in all countries. Do I need to remind you?"
Just when the man with a mustache was at a loss, a patrolman ran in breathlessly from outside. After saying a few words in the man's ear, the man with a mustache immediately showed a smug smile.
