Chapter 179 Rewriting the Flyer
"That's it."
The old policeman pulled out a sketch of Huang Ye: "His current name is Liu Quan. He's registered as a Suzhou native and runs a small business in Nanjing. I asked the neighbors, and they said Liu Quan didn't live here before. He just moved in two days ago, but he rented the house a long time ago."
"Good job, what's your name?"
Wang Sheng smiled happily. He didn't expect it to be so smooth this time. He had just started the investigation and found the person within the morning.
The old policeman quickly replied, "Captain Wang, my name is Kang Qiang, and I'm the patrol officer in that area."
"Now you follow me and don't go anywhere without my order."
Wang Sheng gave an order, asking his men to guard the intersection mentioned by the old policeman first. He did not dare to ask these policemen to watch people directly, as they were wearing uniforms and their ability to follow people was not strong.
If they reveal their whereabouts and affect Commander Chu's actions, he will not only fail to gain any credit, but will also be guilty.
"Don't move, I'll be right there."
In the office, Chu Lingyun stood up immediately after receiving Wang Sheng's call.
He also didn't expect that it would be so smooth and he would find the person so quickly.
Capturing Huang Ye not only means capturing another Japanese spy, but most importantly, he can prove Liu Dazhuang's identity. Huang Ye is extremely important and must be captured alive.
Since Loach was not there, Chu Lingyun called the remaining fifteen team members and immediately set off to the place where Huang Ye was hiding.
As soon as he arrived, Wang Sheng came to greet him: "Commander Chu, the person lives in the west unit on the second floor of that building. I have checked. There is a window of that house close to another alley. Now I have people stationed at the entrances and exits of both alleys. Even if he jumps out the window, he won't be able to escape."
Wang Sheng was very smart. He made all the arrangements he could before Chu Lingyun arrived.
It was not his mission to catch people. He just had to keep an eye on them. If he could prevent them from escaping before Chu Lingyun arrived, he would have made a great contribution.
"Very good, Wang Sheng. If you catch anyone this time, I will commend you and promote you to captain."
Chu Lingyun said happily that Wang Sheng had made another contribution. The sooner they could catch Huang Ye, the less pressure they would have to bear. Liu Dazhuang refused to admit that he was a Japanese spy. If He Nian hadn't been helping him bear the pressure, I'm afraid all that pressure would have fallen on him.
Not only was Han Xianghui from the Inspection Department keeping a close eye on the case, but the General Affairs Department, Telecommunications Department and other departments were also watching him. After all, having a traitor in the department was no small matter, and Chu Lingyun arrested the man without providing sufficient evidence.
Without evidence, they can say Liu Dazhuang is a traitor today, and tomorrow they can point to their people and say they are still traitors. This will easily make everyone feel insecure.
Chu Lingyun came to a secluded place in the alley and looked at the building where Huang Ye lived with a telescope.
A three-story building that is not too old, and there is another one next to it. There are many houses like this in Nanjing, and most of the people living there are people who have some income but not much money.
Moreover, most of the people living here are tenants, and most of these houses are self-built.
It was confirmed that Huang Ye was not a victory. The most crucial thing was how to capture him alive. The Japanese had the habit of carrying weapons and poison with them. The capture operation had to be well planned. Once Huang Ye died, all the previous efforts would be wasted.
"Team leader, let me take the lead in the attack. I will definitely be able to catch him."
Zhao Dong volunteered. At this time, the three captains of the fourth action group were not there, so it was a good opportunity for him to show his ability.
The three captains of Action Group 4 are all veterans who followed the team leader from Wuhan. These new team members know that it will be difficult to compete with them.
Especially since the section chief attaches so much importance to the team leader, if they want to get promoted, it is best for them to follow the team leader closely.
Moreover, their team leader is really powerful. Not long after the establishment of Action Group 4, the number of Japanese spies they have captured exceeds all the previous ones captured by the headquarters.
This also made everyone in Action Group 4 very motivated, and they all wanted to make more contributions.
"No rush."
Chu Lingyun shook his head. It was not that he did not want to give Zhao Dong a chance to make a contribution, but rushing in and arresting people directly was a bad idea.
Huang Ye is in the room, no one knows what his current situation is, and they can't send the police to his house to inquire. The police have been there once, and he will definitely be alert if they go again.
If we rush in and forcibly arrest him and he detonates the grenade, there is a high probability of casualties.
The best way is to lure him out.
Unfortunately, he couldn't send anyone else to the door. Huang Ye was in a state of high alert at this time. If someone continued to visit, he would definitely become suspicious.
When the police came to arrest Watanabe Ichiro for the second time, Watanabe Ichiro was already alert. If Zhong Hui and Shao Yuancheng had not taken decisive action, Watanabe Ichiro might have run back to the room and got the weapon.
Leading people out is the middle strategy.
After Huang Ye comes out, it will be much easier to capture him. We will arrange for a sneak attack and capture him by surprise, so that he will not have the chance to detonate the grenade or take poison.
But even if Huang Ye comes out, he will still be on guard and there is a possibility of failure.
As for the best strategy, it is to use something to attract Huang Ye, not only to make him leave his residence, but also to divert his attention, so that the chances of catching him will be the greatest.
Chu Lingyun prefers the final and safest option.
A person's hobbies may often become his weaknesses. Some people like money and can be easily bribed with money. Some people like beautiful women and it is difficult for them to escape from the beauty trap.
Huang Ye doesn't gamble or visit prostitutes, but he has a hobby, he likes fishing.
"Zhao Dong, first send someone to find a suitable location to keep an eye on Huang Ye."
Chu Lingyun had an idea in his mind and asked Zhao Dong to find a suitable surveillance point. Since Huang Ye had been discovered, it would be almost impossible for him to escape. There was no need for the Loach Team to continue searching outside. They could withdraw their men and set up an iron bucket formation to make it impossible for him to escape.
First, keep an eye on the person, then find a way to lure him out, and look for an opportunity to divert his attention to facilitate capture.
"Wang Sheng, go check and see if there are any fishing experts in Nanjing. It would be best if you could find them for me."
Since Loach was not around, Chu Lingyun handed the investigation over to Wang Sheng. Although Wang Sheng had not received professional training, he was smart and had no problem investigating some obvious things.
"Yes, Commander Chu."
Wang Sheng immediately accepted the order. Chu Lingyun's words just now made him excited. He was going to be promoted to police chief. It had only been a short time, and his promotion was like a rocket.
The deputy sheriff is good, but he has far less power than the sheriff. Only when he becomes the sheriff can he be considered a figure in the police station.
There are only four police chiefs in their police headquarters, and he will soon be one of them.
"Officer Wang, I'll go with you."
The old policeman Kang Qiang had been there all the time and said something hurriedly. Wang Sheng looked at him, did not object, and took him away quickly.
Today Kang Qiang found the person and helped him to make a contribution. Now he actively asked for help, and Wang Sheng would not refuse.
"Team leader, have you found the person?"
Wang Sheng hadn't returned yet, and Niu Qiu and his men came running over. Chu Lingyun smiled and said, "You are well-informed indeed. Wang Sheng has found the person."
There's no need to notify this kid Loach. He runs faster than a rabbit at the slightest sign of trouble.
"Wang Sheng did a great job. It's really the team leader who recognized his talent and even thought of bringing him to Nanjing."
Loach clapped his hands excitedly. It was he who introduced Wang Sheng to Chu Lingyun, and later Wang Sheng was accepted as his disciple.
He was considered Wang Sheng's guide, and he also gained face when Wang Sheng made a contribution.
What's more, Shen Hanwen and Chu Yuan are not here now, so the team leader will definitely use him if he wants to arrest someone. The credit for arresting Huang Ye this time will be taken by him.
However, even if Huang Ye is caught, he can only be ranked second in the traitor case, and Chu Yuan will still be ranked first.
It was Chu Yuan who worked tirelessly for many days and finally found Liu Dazhuang's weakness and identified the Japanese spy. He knew very well that he could not compare with Chu Yuan in this achievement.
After this meritorious service, Chu Yuan's military rank will definitely be raised, and he will legitimately take over as the captain of his team. No one will object.
"Wang Sheng did a really good job this time."
Chu Lingyun smiled and said that he had not originally intended to bring Wang Sheng with him. It was only after Zhong Hui himself gave up the opportunity to come to Nanjing with him that he thought of Wang Sheng.
At present, Wang Sheng plays a greater role. It is very necessary to deploy one's own people outside, especially within the police system.
"Commander Chu, there are four recognized fishing masters in Nanjing, but I only found two and brought them here."
Wang Sheng hurried back, bringing two people with him. Both of them were quite old, the younger one was in his forties, and the older one looked to be in his sixties.
"What are your names?" Chu Lingyun has always been nice to outsiders, so he took the initiative to step forward and ask.
"Thank you for your courtesy, sir. I am Mu Zhengyuan." The oldest man clasped his fists first. He was wearing a black robe and had a long beard on his chin. Although he was old, he was very energetic.
"My name is Du Litong, nice to meet you, sir." The other man also clasped his fists, but he was wearing a suit.
"You two are both experts in the fishing world. I'd like to ask, are there any crowded fishing events in Nanjing?"
If Chu Lingyun wanted to lure Huang Ye out, he had to start with his hobbies. He liked fishing, so he could use fishing to seduce him.
"Yes, there are many. Last month there was a large-scale fishing competition, and I won first place despite my humble talent."
Mu Zhengyuan stroked the thread and said with a smile that he might not be good at other things, but when it comes to fishing, there are few who can be better than him.
"There are indeed quite a few events like this. There's another competition in seven days. That's a bigger event, hosted by our fishing club. The champion prize is 100 yuan."
Du Litong followed up, and it was obvious that he was not very convinced of Mu Zhengyuan.
"Where will your competition be held in seven days and how do we register?" Chu Lingyun asked immediately.
Du Litong replied, "Anyone can sign up for Xuanwu Lake. The registration location is at our Fish Club."
Chu Lingyun looked at the small building in the distance and thought quickly in his mind.
Seven days is too long. He can't wait that long. He can use fishing activities to lure Huang Ye out and arrange a suitable opportunity to capture him, but the key is how to let him receive the message.
And it must be news that can make him excited. Relying on bonuses is not enough. He is a hidden agent and will not risk going out just for a little money.
"How do you notify those who like fishing to participate in the competition?" Chu Lingyun asked again.
"It's mainly newspaper advertising, and sometimes we'll send out flyers or post them in fixed places."
It’s okay to put it in the newspaper, but Huang Ye is hiding it. If he doesn’t buy the newspaper, he won’t see such an advertisement.
However, there is a chance that Huang Ye will see the flyer.
After thinking for a while, Chu Lingyun gradually came up with an idea.
"Mr. Du, your fishing competition will be held ahead of schedule. It will be held three days from now. You must publicize it widely over the next few days. The bigger the noise, the better."
Chu Lingyun said, Du Litong was a little embarrassed: "Sir, we have already decided on the time. It is not impossible to change it, but it is too troublesome, and we don't have that much funds for publicity."
"You just need to change the time, and I'll help you with the publicity."
Chu Lingyun waved his hand and said, Du Litong didn't say anything. The person who came to find them was from the Police Headquarters, and he was wearing a sheriff's uniform. The sheriff followed the lead of the young man in front of him.
He didn't know Chu Lingyun's identity, but he knew very well that he couldn't afford to offend such a person. Not to mention Chu Lingyun, they would have to listen to Wang Sheng's request as well.
Today's fishing clubs cannot be compared with the various associations of later generations. They are purely organizations formed by a group of fishing enthusiasts on their own initiative and do not have any real power.
"If the superior can help us publicize it, there is no problem in changing the time." Du Litong is the president of the Fish Association, and he can make the decision on this matter.
"Where is your fish club? Let me take a look at your event flyer." Chu Lingyun asked again.
"You don't have to go over there. I brought the flyer for this event. This is our flyer."
Du Litong took out a folded leaflet from his body. Chu Lingyun opened it and found that the content was very simple.
On a certain date, the Fish Association will hold a fishing competition in Xuanwu Lake, inviting people who like fishing to participate, and there will be prizes and so on.
Such a simple flyer may be attractive to ordinary fishing enthusiasts, but it is obviously not attractive enough to Huang Ye.
After all, Huang Ye’s safety is his top priority now.
"Let me edit this flyer for you."
Chu Lingyun took out a pen and paper and quickly wrote a new flyer.
"Hello fellow anglers, the Fish Association will soon be hosting its first ever fishing tournament, its largest ever, with a capacity of 3,000 participants. Xuanwu Lake will be packed with people, transforming it into a fishing paradise. Anyone who enjoys fishing and is able to fish is welcome to participate. We will stock enough large fish to ensure everyone has a good catch. The champion will receive a generous reward of 300 French francs. All anglers are welcome to participate in this grand event. Registration address... Date and time..."
Seeing the content of the new flyer written by Chu Lingyun, Du Litong was completely stunned, and Mu Zhengyuan also widened his eyes.
Can a flyer be written like this?
Is a 3,000-person competition that exaggerated? Nanjing's population is relatively small. Normally, a fishing competition with a few hundred participants is considered a major event. They wouldn't even dare to imagine a thousand, let alone 3,000.
They didn't know that if the times were different, Chu Lingyun would dare to write a contest for tens of thousands of people.
The more people there are, the more attractive it will be to Huang Ye. He will think that there is no danger in participating or watching, and the large number of people will give him a sense of security.
"Wang Sheng, take Mr. Du to print this. Print it immediately and put it in the newspaper."
Chu Lingyun handed the written content to Wang Sheng and asked him to take Du Litong to print it to ensure that this flyer was the same as before.
He couldn't be sure whether Huang Ye had seen similar flyers before. If he had, the flyers they printed were different from previous ones, which would likely arouse Huang Ye's suspicion.
First update, thanks to Yibadao for the character reward of 233 starting coins. Xiaoyu expresses the gratitude on behalf of Chu Lingyun.
