One of them was holding a remote control in his hand as he kept an eye on the leader of the convoy and continued counting the time.
When the convoy was less than fifty meters away from the intersection, the man activated the remote, and the green light began flashing before it quickly turned red.
As the airport operated twenty-four hours a day, the volume of traffic was relatively busy. For the fleet of Tokyo Metropolitan Police, the traffic order had to be observed as well.
Therefore, the first armored vehicle was stopped directly at the front of the straight road.
The convoy behind also slowly came to a stop.
The traffic light in this area controlled all four directions of the crossroad. Each section would turn green for about a minute each. Therefore, the wait for the red light to turn green would have taken approximately one hundred and eighty seconds.
The special forces in the armored vehicle were all on standby in case any abnormalities occurred in their surroundings.
Fortunately, the vehicles that were shuffling back and forth were nothing out of the ordinary, and no one approached the convoy.
At this moment, who would have thought that the special task force in the first armored vehicle would open the emergency port under the vehicle. 1
The armored vehicles which were specially prepared for the special task force had very good safety features. To ensure that the task force in the vehicle would be able to escape from danger, in case the door was severely damaged or in case of an explosion, a special door was installed at the bottom of the armored vehicle. The emergency exit opened from the inside to the outside.
This emergency escape port was like a tank door that had been installed upside down, in which the exit was at the bottom instead of the top of the vehicle.
At this moment, the hatch was opened, and the pitch-black sewer manhole was right below the vehicle. 2
Thanks to prior planning, the manhole cover and the hatch were almost perfectly aligned to one another.
At the same time, the vehicle bottom hatch was opened by the special task force, and the sewer manhole cover was also removed. 1
After a few seconds, the red light turned green, and the armored vehicle in the front drove out with the other cars following closely from behind. No one knew that the important suspect in the car had already escaped. 2
After the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department’s convoy had gone a distance of about one kilometer, a black truck came from a distance.
As soon as the truck reached the intersection, the traffic light had just turned red again.
After the truck stopped, someone inside the truck opened a secret hatch at the bottom of it and tapped o n the manhole cover which was directly below it with a stick. 4
Soon after, the manhole cover was removed, and Rosalie, with her head still covered, was pulled into the truck.
After that, the manhole cover was once again closed tightly, and the truck drove off at an accelerated speed, almost as if nothing had happened at the scene.
In the carriage of the truck, a Japanese woman unbuttoned Rosalie's black headgear and looked at her before saying, "Ms. Rosalie, I was entrusted by Mr. Schulz to save you from Japan! We will head over to Tokyo Port now where the ship is already awaiting your arrival."
