Chapter 197 Confirmed Japanese Spy
The Fifth Branch has been controlled by Wang Sheng, and after the people from the Military Intelligence Department showed up, they dared not make any unusual moves.
The first order Wang Sheng gave after taking over was for everyone to return to the office, not to go out, and wait for instructions.
Arresting people is important, but there must not be any chaos. If the Fifth Precinct is in chaos, or even leads to looting and beating, he will definitely be the one to take the blame.
"I didn't expect Chief Inspector Wang to have such a strong backing."
"Yes, the Military Intelligence Department asked him to help arrest people. They really trust him."
In the large office, many police officers who did not go out were talking in low voices.
Wang Sheng was transferred from Wuhan to the General Administration and parachuted into the position of deputy police chief. Many people knew him.
Some people have long said that Wang Sheng has a strong background, and now it seems to be true.
"I don't think so. Didn't you see that the head of the Military Intelligence Department didn't even recognize Wang Sheng?"
One person said sourly while the others looked at him like he was an idiot.
"The officer who came here didn't know Inspector Wang, but he said that Inspector Wang was related to a certain team leader. Since that team leader could order this officer to arrest someone, he must be of a higher rank."
There are many smart people among the police. They have been in the market for a long time and are very smooth.
"Xiao Wu, be respectful to Chief Wang. If you call him by his first name like that, you'll be in big trouble if Chief Wang becomes our chief."
Someone who had a good relationship with him reminded him, and the person who was feeling jealous just now woke up instantly.
That’s right, if Wang Sheng became their director and knew that he said such things, would he still be able to live a good life in the future?
Their director was taken away by the Military Intelligence Department. I have never heard of anyone who committed a crime and came out alive after entering the Military Intelligence Department.
There was a rumor before that six brothers at a checkpoint disappeared because they disrupted the Military Intelligence Department's business.
Until now, no one has found the person alive or the body.
The Military Intelligence Department supervises the military and police, and is a huge mountain hanging over their heads. The Military Intelligence Department has astonishing power and has the right to execute first and report later. The police are not afraid of supervision, but they are most afraid of the Military Intelligence Department.
They could still maneuver when the inspectors came to investigate, but when the military intelligence department came, they had no room to maneuver and could only wait for death.
"No way, he's so young, how could he possibly take over as director?"
The jealous man said in disbelief that Wang Sheng was much younger than him, and being the chief of police in the General Administration already made him jealous, so how could he become their chief?
The director is not a sheriff, who has a lot of lucrative jobs and is the chief officer in charge of a large area. Without a strong backing, he cannot be the director of a branch.
This relationship is useless in the General Administration, it needs to be at least in the Department.
"That's not necessarily true. What's wrong with being young? As long as you have enough background, being a director is nothing."
The people next to him looked at him with contempt, thinking in their hearts that if Wang Sheng really became the director of their branch, they would definitely report this person.
Wang Sheng was in the director's office, feeling very relaxed. Four people were left behind by the Military Intelligence Department. They were the four big bosses, and no one dared to provoke them.
There were four people in the bureau and everyone was cooperating very well, without any of the tension that had been there before.
After these four people knew that he was Chu Lingyun's man, they treated him very well.
"Ring, ring, ring."
The phone on the table rang, and Wang Sheng picked up the receiver directly.
"Is Wang Sheng here? Call him over to me?" An angry voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Director Hou, I am Wang Sheng."
Wang Sheng said hurriedly. As soon as he heard the voice, he knew that the caller was Hou Shangui, the director of their General Administration, who was also his direct superior in the General Administration.
"What are you doing? Who told you to arrest Wang Zhengxian and Xu Wu?"
The branch director and the branch police chief were arrested. When the General Administration learned about it, they took the matter very seriously. When Hou Shan learned that it was the police chief of the General Administration who arrested the person, he angrily threw the cup.
Wang Sheng only took over the Fifth Branch and did not cut off all the telephone lines.
"Director Hou, I received an order from the Military Intelligence Department. This is a military secret. If you want to know the reason, you can ask them directly."
Wang Sheng said this neither humbly nor arrogantly. He knew very well that his boss had never been his backer.
His backer is Chu Lingyun. As long as he works for Commander Chu, he is not afraid of anyone.
Hou Shangui was almost choked and said coldly, "Come back immediately and explain it to me clearly. I will ask the Military Intelligence Department."
"Director Hou, the head of the Military Intelligence Department has ordered that no one in the Fifth Branch be allowed to enter, including me. How about you tell them to let me out?"
Wang Sheng said with a smile, "It's the Military Intelligence Department again." Hou Shan hung up the phone in a noble manner.
In fact, he doesn't like Wang Sheng, the paratrooper.
No one likes the people appointed by their superiors, but Wang Sheng's appointment was ordered by the director, so he had to obey.
He is the director of the General Administration and knows more than most people.
The reason Wang Sheng rose from a small patrolman to the chief of police at their headquarters was because he had connections in the Military Intelligence Department. It was said that this was a high-ranking figure in the Military Intelligence Department who directly contacted the deputy director in charge of personnel, and the director didn't dare to hold back and made the appointment as requested.
The Military Intelligence Department is powerful, but this is the police station, his territory. One of his police captains arrested a police station chief without even saying hello. How will others view him in the future?
But Wang Sheng's attitude was so tough that he had no way out.
As for questioning the Military Intelligence Department, even though he is the director, he doesn't have the courage to do so.
"Captain Wang."
A member of the Military Intelligence Department gave Wang Sheng a thumbs up.
They were standing by and heard the conversation on the phone. They were so tough on their director, no doubt worthy of being Team Leader Chu's men.
It is precisely because of Wang Sheng’s identity that their attitude is so good.
They are members of Action Group 3 and know Chu Lingyun very well.
Although Team Leader Chu has only been here for a short time, he has already established his authority in the Operations Department. Before Team Leader Chu came, the three operations team leaders were fighting openly and secretly, and none of them was willing to submit to the other.
They are at the same level, and they have heard rumors that their military intelligence department will be upgraded in the future.
After Henian was promoted, several team leaders wanted to compete for Henian's position. Even if they couldn't get the position of section chief, they could at least become a deputy section chief.
When Chu Lingyun came, they didn't care. They only knew that the section chief valued him and asked him to form a new action team. However, this was beneficial to them as it saved them from transferring their capable subordinates.
But unexpectedly, Team Leader Chu rose so quickly. He launched a series of attacks soon after arriving, and even the director paid great attention to him.
The relationship between the three team leaders has now eased a lot.
The reason is very simple. When the Raptors crossed the river, a more powerful competitor came and left them with no power to fight back, so they had no desire to fight.
Operations Group 4 had just been established, but it had already made many achievements and had become the most important group in the Operations Department.
Even the three team leaders were waiting for Action Group 4 to give them some soup, so how could they fight for it?
This time, Team Leader Chu just said a word, and their team leader personally came out to arrest people, which shows their team leader's attitude towards Team Leader Chu.
Since they couldn't compete, there was no point in bothering themselves. Now, not only did the relationship between the three team leaders ease, they also often drank tea and played cards together. At the same time, the relationship between the three action groups also became much more harmonious.
Outside, Chu Lingyun had already come to Chu Yuan.
Chu Yuan drew a large encirclement to ensure that Fang Wanchao was still inside, but the disadvantage of this was that the area to be searched increased a lot.
Standing in front of Chu Lingyun, Chu Yuan lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Team Leader, I didn't do well this time. Please punish me."
"We'll talk about your matter later. Tell me the details first."
Chu Yuan bears a great responsibility for alarming Fang Wanchao this time, but now is not the time to deal with him, and even if he is dealt with, Chu Lingyun's punishment will not be too severe.
Chu Yuan was his trusted subordinate, the only one he brought out from the army and still followed him.
If the punishment for such a person is too severe, what will the other confidants think?
"Team Leader, after Fang Wanchao escaped, I quickly had my men block off the nearby intersections. We're now certain he hasn't emerged. I then had the police tighten the cordon, preventing anyone from entering or leaving. Team members are already conducting house-to-house searches with the police."
Chu Yuan's reaction was timely and the scope was expanded. There was a great possibility that Fang Wanchao was trapped in this circle.
"Okay, find him as soon as possible and catch him before dark."
Chu Lingyun nodded and said, if they couldn't find anyone before dark, their blockade would definitely have loopholes. First, the residents in the blockade circle would need to go home, and second, they couldn't come out, which would make many things inconvenient.
"Yes, don't worry, Team Leader. I will find him before dark."
Chu Yuan spoke quickly, and soon another team member came running outside.
"Team leader, we searched Fang Wanchao's home and found this."
The team members took out pistols and grenades, but there was no poison. The poison was most likely on Fang Wanchao's body.
When Chu Yuan saw something, his eyes became even redder.
Fang Wanchao was suspected of being suspicious before, and after he escaped, weapons were found, which almost confirmed his identity.
"Where is his mother at home?" Chu Lingyun asked.
"His mother is unable to move around easily, and others are bringing her here."
"Tell them to be mindful of their attitude and not to embarrass the elderly."
Chu Lingyun nodded without saying anything. Although Fang Wanchao had escaped, fortunately Xu Wu was caught. He had just received a call and learned that Zhu Qing had brought people to meet Wang Sheng and brought him back.
Zhu Qing also praised Wang Sheng on the phone for his calmness and decisive action in the face of danger.
"Team Leader, the train station, the docks, and all exits from the city have been sealed off. We've seen the photos you sent."
Loach called, and Chu Lingyun set up a dedicated line here to facilitate external communication.
"That's right, block it off well. If you catch the person, I'll commend you. If you let him go, you know the consequences."
Chu Lingyun replied that the loach was the second blockade line. If Chu Yuan couldn't find anyone, he would be trapped in the city using the second blockade line.
"Team leader, Fang Wanchao's mother is here."
Several team members were helping an old man with his eyes closed. The old man had white hair and a face full of wrinkles.
She couldn't see or speak, but she could hear.
Chu Lingyun stepped forward and asked softly, "Auntie, I want to ask you something. Is Fang Wanchao your biological son?"
The old man's hearing had not declined. He heard Chu Lingyun's question clearly, hesitated for a moment, and nodded quickly.
But her hesitation made Chu Lingyun realize that something was wrong.
"Auntie, please think carefully. According to our investigation, Fang Wanchao is not a good person. He is very likely a Japanese in disguise. If you help him, you will be a national sinner."
The old man was stunned, and after a while, he shook his head quickly.
At this time, she shook her head and was not sure what she meant. It might be that she was disagreeing with Chu Lingyun's words, meaning that Fang Wanchao could not be Japanese, or it might be that her previous answer was wrong.
"Auntie, let me ask you again, is he your biological son?" Chu Lingyun asked again. This time the old woman shook her head decisively.
Fang Wanchao has no blood relationship with his mother, but unfortunately the old woman cannot speak, so communication is very difficult.
The old man couldn't see and couldn't communicate with her using gestures.
As for writing, in this era with such a high illiteracy rate, it is simply impossible for a blind person to do so.
"Auntie, let me ask you again, how many years have Fang Wanchao been with you? Just nod or shake your head. Is it five years?"
The old man shook his head, and only nodded when Chu Lingyun said three years.
The old woman had only been together with Fang Wanchao three years ago, and this was probably a cover-up created by Japanese spies. Living alone would easily attract attention. Having an old mother like this, not only would he not have to get married, but he would also get a lot of sympathy from people.
In a family like this, it is not easy to find a daughter-in-law.
"Auntie, is Fang Wanchao treating you well?"
This time the old woman nodded first, then shook her head. Unfortunately, she didn't understand what she meant, but Chu Lingyun could guess the general situation.
The Japanese spy only wanted this old woman to help him disguise himself, so how could he be truly kind to her?
Perhaps in order to show off in front of outsiders, he would sometimes behave better, but deep down, he would never regard such a blind and mute old man as a relative.
But it is enough to know these situations.
Seeing the old woman's face full of worry, Chu Lingyun immediately said: "Don't worry, Auntie, Fang Wanchao is a bad man. He has ulterior motives in keeping you. Even if he is gone, I will find someone to take care of you and let you enjoy your old age."
Without Fang Wanchao, the old woman's situation would be even more difficult. No matter what Fang Wanchao's purpose was, he had to support her to help him disguise himself.
Now that Fang Wanchao is in trouble, no one will take care of her in the future.
Chu Lingyun would not watch the old woman starve to death. She was just an old woman. He had a lot of money now, so he could find someone to take care of her.
After hearing Chu Lingyun's words, the old man finally smiled and kept bowing to thank Chu Lingyun.
"Captain, we caught a few thugs, and they were pretty tough."
Chu Yuan's team members came to report that they were continuously searching the blockade area. When they searched a small house, they saw three people playing cards there. They were not afraid of the police who came in, but were arrogant instead.
The people from the Military Intelligence Department would not tolerate them and tied them up directly.
"Team Leader, I'll handle it."
Chu Yuan said hurriedly, "Leave quickly! How dare these hooligans raise their claws against the police?" It was really strange, but Chu Lingyun was more concerned about Fang Wanchao and didn't pay any attention to them at all.
As soon as Chu Yuan left, Zhu Qing called:
"Team Leader Chu, Xu Wu confessed. It was Fang Wanchao who gave him ten gold bars and helped him get promoted to police captain. Fang Wanchao also promised him that he would be naturalized as a Japanese citizen in the future."
Fang Wanchao was indeed a Japanese spy. Chu Lingyun clenched his fists.
Thanks to Qingyu for the reward of 500 Qidian coins.
