Chapter 58 Chapter 58
In the early morning of the next day, Zuo Zhong woke up from his sleep. There was so much noise outside, and whether there was any sense of public morality, Zuo Zhong got up angrily.

"What's going on, what's going on outside!"

"Brother, there are many reporters outside, and many foreigners."

Zuo Zhong rubbed his eyes, took the binoculars from Wu Chunyang and looked out, good guy, the outside of the Liuguo Hotel has changed a lot in just one night.

The previous sandbags were all removed, the military police with live ammunition turned into patrols, the consular officials were well-dressed to accept interviews, and there was even a pancake seller.

At this time, the British consul Brondo was briefing the reporters on the situation: "According to what we have learned, except for the security personnel of the hotel who were killed, the lives of other residents are not in danger."

"Mr. Consul, can you guarantee that the lives of the hostages are not in danger?"

"Mr. Bai Longdu, was it really the result of your country's communication that the robbers released the hostages yesterday?"

"It is said that the rescue operation failed yesterday, and the loss was heavy. Please answer Mr. Consul."

Bai Longdu was furious: "Which newspaper are you from? I warn you to respect the facts. At present, the injured hostages have been properly treated and their emotions are stable. I will not explain anything else."

The reporters became even more anxious when they heard this, and they kept the water flowing around Bailongdu, and continued to interview in a hurry. The poor consul felt that he was about to suffocate, and shouted for help.

Major Vicente hurriedly sent someone to send Mr. Consul away. These damn journalists are really troublesome. Shouldn’t you condemn the robbers? Does it really matter who releases the hostages?
When the reporters saw that Brondo had run away, they all wrote something in their notebooks. Vicente glanced at it curiously. It read: The British Consul guarantees the safety of the hostages to the whole world, and will not explain why the robbers released some of the hostages .

Vicente opened his mouth wide. Did the consul just say that?Have it?Why can't he remember? Mr. Major thinks he has lost his memory.

The consuls didn't speak, but the reporters had a way. They ran to interview the soldiers and police officers one after another, even the neighbors who passed by.

"Sir, what did you see here yesterday? We are reporters from the Post. If you are willing to reveal some secrets to us, you can get a reward."

"Oh, I'm here, am I paid? Then let's find a place, and don't be seen by my officers. You know how rigid they are."

"Did you also set up a stall here yesterday? What happened here yesterday? Did the army fail to rescue it? Was the car wreck done by gangsters?"

"You take a set of pancakes."

"Uh, okay, two sets of pancakes."

"Sir, let me tell you, Little Japan just ran to the car, took out something from the back of his butt and threw it out, and then all died with a few bangs, the smoke was lingering, and it was scary."

The reporters left one after another with the witnesses, and no one could stop them from exposing the news. They were fearless freedom fighters and citizens with a conscience.

Chen Gongshu shrugged off the entanglement of an American reporter, and left the embassy area in despair. Just now he saw the wreckage of the hotel entrance that had turned into black charcoal and corpses all over the floor. Damn, it was scary.

Zuo Zhong told him that Zhang Jingyao was in the Liuguo Hotel, and asked him for a lot of dangerous goods and information on the Northeast region. Although he didn't know why, he still gave it.

When he heard about the Liuguo Hotel early in the morning, he came to check on the wind, and he was shocked after reading it.

What a crime, Zuo Zhong must have done this, Chen Gongshu is sure, because the layout and timing of the explosion sites were completely based on the teaching materials of the Secret Service.

What on earth is this bastard Zuo Zhong going to do? Chen Gongshu almost burst into tears.

Zuo Zhong didn't know that Chen Gongshu had already been to the scene, he was thinking about his next move, and the hostages also got up one after another, preparing their own breakfast.

At this moment, there was a cry from among the hostages: "Mom, I have a birthday and I need a cake."

Zuo Zhong couldn't figure it out, is there really someone who is not afraid of death?He walked over and found that it was the clever little girl looking at her mother with tears in her eyes.

"What's going on, lady, do you need help?"

"Mr. Robber, it's my daughter. Today is her birthday, so she wants a birthday cake."

When the little girl's mother heard Zuo Zhong's inquiry, she panicked and told the reason.Regarding her daughter's boldness, she really didn't know what to say.

Zuo Chong's eyes lit up: "Ma'am, this request can be satisfied. How can there be no cake on my birthday? Not only will there be cake, but we will also hold a birthday party for this beautiful lady."

The little girl was very happy after hearing this. Mr. Robber is indeed a good person. She raised her skirt to the left very ladylikely: "Thank you, Mr. Robber, you are very welcome to my birthday party."

Zuo Zhong performed a knight salute: "My honor, may I ask your name."

The little girl said arrogantly: "Ima, my name is Yima, and today is my ninth birthday."

Zuo Zhong stood up and announced loudly: "Let's take action and arrange a perfect birthday party for Miss Yima."

The hostages were stunned. Why did the robber leader come up with an idea all of a sudden? Now they are being hijacked. Is it really appropriate to hold such a grand birthday party?

But people had to bow their heads under the eaves, and the men began to tidy up the messy ground, and the women were very excited, which was really exciting.

Zuo Zhong walked to the window and looked outside with a mysterious smile, a big show started!

A man in black came over: "Brother, are we really going to do this? What's the point of this?"

This is Gui Youguang, he can't understand why Zuo Zhong did this at all, the most important thing now is how to evacuate, not any birthday party.

Zuo Zhong looked ahead: "This is a show. Do you know what a show is? It means a show. Now we want to create hot spots one by one to satisfy the curiosity and curiosity of the reporters outside."

Gui Youguang still didn't understand: "Is this meaningful?"

Zuo Zhong laughed: "You don't need to understand, don't worry, I know it well, now I need to go out and accept an interview."

While everyone was stunned, Zuo rearranged his clothes, put down his weapon and walked out.

"Hurry up, someone came out again, dressed in black and masked, he is the leader of the group of robbers. Take a photo and send it back to the agency immediately." The reporters were excited.

"Gendarmerie! Where are the gendarmerie? Let them protect us." These were consulate officials with terrified faces.

As Zuo Zhong approached step by step, the crowd slowly stopped clamoring, their hearts were beating with his steps, even the military police and patrolmen opened their eyes wide, looking at him in horror.

Zuo Zhong slowly walked to the front of the crowd, and spread his hands to the silent crowd: "Mr. reporters, don't you welcome me? I risked my life to accept your interview."

The reporters suddenly burst into flames. They didn't expect that the robber leader would be so arrogant that he would come out alone and accept interviews openly. Isn't this the explosive news they wanted.

"Is your organization called the Northeast Republican Army?"

"Mr. Robber, may I ask if the hostages are safe and when they will be released."

"You killed so many people, don't you feel a little bit guilty, they are all living beings."

"Mr. Robber, do you plan to publish your autobiography? If necessary, our Evening News will provide you with the best reward."

Listening to the random questions, Zuo Chong made a silent gesture, the reporters could only stop asking, everyone waited for the robber's answer, they had too many questions in their minds.

"Yes, we are the Northeast Republican Army, the hostages are very safe now, as long as they meet our requirements, they can be released at any time.

Most of those corpses are people from Japanese special high school. As for why they appear there, I don’t know. You should ask the Japanese. "

After Zuo Zhong replied, he clicked on the reporter on the far left: "Now please come one by one, otherwise I really can't hear you so many people, okay?"

The reporter who was named looked excited: "I am a reporter from the Post. May I ask if you have released some injured hostages? What do you think about it?"

Zuo Zhong looked surprised: "Shouldn't it be? Even on the battlefield, wounded prisoners have the right to receive medical treatment, but we can't provide necessary medical services, so we can only let them go."

Well, the reporter who asked the question didn't know what to say. Did he want to say: You are a murderous robber, you shouldn't release the hostages like this, you should let them die slowly.

"next."

"Mr. Robber, what is your appeal? Why do you want to kidnap those innocent people?"

"Our request is to hope that the reporters present today will announce the crimes of the Japanese to the world. Yes, we kidnapped those innocent people, but we have no choice, because your selective blindness."

"next."

"It is said that you once danced at the scene of the hijacking, do you have any mental illness?"

"Next!"

"Aren't you afraid of the army outside? Even if your demands are met, how will you and your men leave?"

"I've placed dangerous items at all the entrances and exits, and there are some cute little things on the supports throughout the hotel. When our requirements are met, we will catch them without a fight."

Major Vicente looked at the masked man talking eloquently, his teeth itching with anger.Vicious bastard, when he said that, he was threatening anyone who would dare to rescue the hostages.

Zuo Zhong roughly replied to the reporters' questions, and then clapped his hands: "Mr. reporters, besides accepting your interview, I also have a special invitation."

Everyone didn't understand, invitation, what invitation?
"Tonight at the Liuguo Hotel, there will be a birthday banquet. The host of the banquet is the beautiful Miss Yima. Today is her ninth birthday. I invite the reporters to come to the dinner at seven o'clock in the evening."

Zuo Zhong was very polite, then looked at the consulate officials and said, "So, before six o'clock in the evening, I want to get the most beautiful cake in Beiping City, do you have any comments?"

Reporters, officials, gendarmes, police officers, and people who eat melons are dumbfounded.
