Chapter 157 The Best Time
Shen Hanwen spoke in code. Long-distance calls were not safe, so he could not speak openly unless he sent a telegram.
The arrest of the doctor went most smoothly, but there were some minor problems when arresting Ma Yibo. Fortunately, Shen Hanwen remained calm, resolved the crisis, and successfully took Ma Yibo away.
In fact, it was not a big problem. He suddenly arrested Ma Yibo on the way to the casino, but Ma Yibo had a companion with him at the time, and his companion ran out to call for support.
Fortunately, Shen Hanwen ran fast, and by the time the people from the casino came out, he had already taken them away.
Another thing is that Ma Yibo's skills are really good. There were so many of them, but he still injured several of them. If there weren't so many people, it would have been difficult to subdue him. Fortunately, everything went well and they finally succeeded in capturing the man alive.
"It's a pity that the contract cannot be executed now." Shen Hanwen said regretfully again.
"You don't need to ask about this. As long as everything goes well, let the other people come back first and you can continue with your previous business."
Chu Lingyun smiled. Finally, there was good news. The two major-level agents lurking in Shanghai were both arrested. The Japanese spies suffered a heavy loss this time.
In the code word, the contract refers to the Japanese spy. The contract was signed, which means that the Japanese spy was successfully captured. The contract could not be executed, which means that nothing was said. Boss Wu in Shanghai refers to Stationmaster Wu of the Shanghai Station.
To continue the previous business, he would have to return to Yan Kuian and keep an eye on him.
As for Stationmaster Wu's thanks, Chu Lingyun didn't care.
The Japanese spies did not confess, and people were not really grateful at all. I didn't know how to curse them in my heart.
But he was scolding Henian, because Henian was someone of the same level as him.
Chu Lingyun guessed correctly that Stationmaster Wu of Shanghai Station was in a bad mood at the moment.
Yesterday, the station suddenly received a notice from the operations department of the headquarters, saying that they had discovered two Japanese spies lurking in Shanghai in the Nanjing case, and that they would take immediate action to arrest them.
By the time Stationmaster Wu found out, it was too late to stop it. The person who came was only responsible for reporting the news, and by the time he reported the news, the action had already begun.
Not long after, Shen Hanwen brought the captured person over.
His mood at that time was mixed.
It is indeed a good thing that a captured Japanese spy is delivered to your doorstep while you are sitting at home, but it can only be considered their credit if they catch such a spy. If someone else catches him, what does it have to do with them?
But since it was delivered to him, he couldn't refuse to accept it.
After a night of interrogation, the two Japanese spies were very stubborn and refused to admit that they were Japanese, which made him wonder if he had arrested the wrong people.
If he didn't know much about New Year's greetings, he would probably have believed these two people.
They didn't confess, and Stationmaster Wu felt as sick as if he had eaten a fly.
If the people he caught confessed, he could capture more people and gain merit, then he would be really grateful to Henian. If he didn't confess, it would mean that he would not have any subsequent merit.
When Virgo asks about it, he will blame them.
Henian's greetings were not a great favor to him, but purely a source of trouble. He was so angry that he didn't even have breakfast, but he couldn't blame Henian for that.
Not long after Shen Hanwen hung up the phone, Chu Lingyun received a telegram from Liang Yu.
An operation was also carried out in Tianjin last night. The captured person was sent to Tianjin Station and the radio station was seized. Unfortunately, the code book was destroyed.
But unlike in Shanghai, the man captured in Tianjin confessed quickly. Everyone in the Tianjin station was very happy. They launched an attack overnight and captured three more Japanese spies.
Stationmaster Chen of Tianjin Station was truly blessed. Even if the credit was not his, it was still a contribution, and it was a credit that was given to them for free by others.
Did the Japanese spy in Tianjin confess?
Chu Lingyun was a little surprised. This person from Tianjin was also a disciple of Kawamoto Xiangtai. He thought that he would be as stubborn as Chishima Keiko, but he didn't expect that he confessed without even being put on the electric chair.
As expected, the same rice does not necessarily produce the same people. This result is also good. No matter who it is, as long as they can capture more Japanese spies, Chu Lingyun will support them.
After hanging up the phone, Chu Lingyun packed up and went to Henian’s office to report.
"Haha, Lingyun, Station Master Chen called me to express his gratitude. As soon as he said thank you, I understood what was going on."
After listening to Chu Lingyun's report, Henian laughed. The arrest of the three people was successful, and they took the credit. Moreover, with the example of Tianjin Station, if Shanghai failed to do well, it would be their incompetence.
Virgos never ask why, they only look at the results.
After Chu Lingyun reported and left, Henian immediately went to the director's office. How could he keep such a public matter secret? He had to report it to his superiors as soon as possible.
When the New Year's greetings arrived, Xu Yi was found there too, with his head down and a gloomy face. It was obvious that Xu Yi had been scolded.
Henian didn't know what was going on and didn't dare to ask. He hurriedly reported the latest situation to the director.
"The operations in Shanghai and Tianjin went smoothly. We captured three Japanese spies, two of whom were majors?"
After listening to Henian's report, the director's expression brightened considerably. Henian nodded hurriedly, "That's right. Tianjin Station also seized a radio station. The captured person quickly confessed. Stationmaster Chen personally led the operation and worked all night to capture three more Japanese spies. It won't be long before Stationmaster Chen reports his accomplishment to you."
"Yes, these three people were found by Chu Lingyun?"
The director nodded in approval. He was very happy that six Japanese spies were caught in one day, even if they were not in Nanjing.
"It was him. The Japanese spy he had captured, Kawamoto Xiangtai, spoke up and learned about these three people. Chu Lingyun and I decided to seize the opportunity and immediately sent people to Shanghai and Tianjin to arrest them. Although the case belonged to us, we were arresting people across different regions after all, so I had Chu Lingyun send the arrested people to Shanghai and Tianjin stations."
Henian continued to take credit for it, while Xu Yi, who kept his head down, was very jealous.
Six more caught?
When did the Operations Department become so powerful? In the past, they could only serve themselves. The Intelligence Department would only use them during operations after they had investigated Japanese spies.
Now that the Operations Department doesn't rely on them, Japanese spies are falling into their pot one after another like dumplings. It's really hateful.
"He Nian, you have a good overview. What's the situation at Shanghai Station right now?"
The director praised Henian, and Henian smiled even brighter, shaking his head and saying, "I haven't received any notification from Stationmaster Wu, so I don't know what's going on."
Henian certainly knew the current situation. The two Japanese spies at the Shanghai station had not confessed yet, but he couldn't say this. First, it would easily offend Old Wu, and second, why would he tell others about the fact that they hadn't confessed? Wouldn't that make the director unhappy?
It’s better for Old Wu to deal with this matter himself. He doesn’t want to get into such trouble.
"Limin, send a telegram to the Shanghai station and ask them about the situation."
The director turned around and said to Secretary Qi that he could understand that Henian didn't know the situation. After all, it happened in Shanghai. If the Shanghai station didn't say anything, he wouldn't know anything.
"Commander, there was a small accident when Chu Lingyun was arresting a Japanese spy in Nanjing yesterday. The captured Japanese spy detonated the grenade he was carrying and injured several of our brothers."
Report the good news first, then the bad news.
He must report Chu Lingyun's actions yesterday to the director, but he must seize the time, and this time is the best.
