Chapter 2 Something is wrong
Wang Yuemin attached great importance to this operation.
Although he did not come in person, he instructed Wang Jialiang to report any situation to him. Whether Wuhan Station can gain more weight in the director's heart depends on this action.
Wuhan Station is a big station under the Military Intelligence Department, and there are plans for expansion recently. They are in urgent need of some achievements to shut up those in the military who have opinions about them.
At 8:50, Wang Jialiang stood in front of the window, staring out.
For him, this was also a very important operation. His previous promotion to major was somewhat reluctant, and there were many rumors. If this operation was successful and he gained great credit, no one would dare to talk about him anymore.
At 8:58, the target of this operation, Asano Ono, appeared in front of the noodle shop.
Like many Japanese of that era, Asano Ono was not tall, only about 1.6 meters. He wore a Chinese long gown, coarse cloth shoes, had a neat crew cut, and carried a briefcase in his hand. He looked like an intellectual.
Qian Cang Xiaoye looked around at the door of the noodle shop and didn't see anything unusual, so he went into the noodle shop.
In fact, the area around the noodle shop was already filled with Chu Lingyun's men.
There is a cigarette vendor on the east side of the noodle shop, and that is Loach from the team. This cigarette stall has always been there, and Chu Lingyun ordered someone to rent it temporarily. Loach is very smart and always has his back to the noodle shop, so even though Qiancang and Xiaoye often come here, they can't find anything wrong.
There is a rickshaw opposite the noodle shop, and the rickshaw driver is also Chu Lingyun's man.
There are many rickshaws in Wuhan, and rickshaws often stop near noodle shops. This arrangement is very reasonable.
Chu Lingyun also arranged two people to guard the back door of the noodle shop to prevent the Japanese spies from escaping through the back door if the arrest inside the noodle shop fails.
Everything is ready except for the east wind, we are just waiting for them to meet.
At nine o'clock in the morning, there were not many people in the noodle shop, and only half of the tables were occupied.
After Qiancang Xiaoye entered the noodle shop, he found an empty table, ordered a bowl of shredded pork noodles, took out a book and read it while waiting to eat the noodles.
After a while, another person came to the table opposite him and his noodles were soon served. Qiancang Xiaoye put away his book and slowly ate the noodles in the bowl. From the window, no communication between them could be seen.
"Team Leader Wang, I'll go outside and take charge personally."
Chu Lingyun was right behind Wang Jialiang. Seeing that the target had already entered the noodle shop, he hurriedly said something.
"Ling Yun, your arrangements are already perfect. There's no need to charge into battle yourself. We can just wait here together." Wang Jialiang grabbed him and persuaded him patiently.
Wang Jialiang knew that Chu Lingyun meant a lot to his cousin, and he hoped to train him well and make him his right-hand man in the future.
The leader of the action team is the stationmaster Liao Wenwu's man. Although the three team leaders were arranged by Wang Yuemin, there is still a layer of separation.
Wang Yuemin, who wants to show his talents, naturally will not allow such a situation to continue. Only when the intelligence team and the action team are firmly under his control can he better display his talents and have the hope of making further progress.
"Thank you for your concern, Team Leader Wang. This operation is very important, so I'd better go and monitor it myself."
Chu Lingyun declined Wang Jialiang's kindness, quickly left the room and walked out to the street.
Arresting Japanese spies is no small matter, and Wang Yuemin takes this case so seriously that Chu Lingyun cannot allow any mistakes in the operation.
Watching Chu Lingyun hurriedly leave, Wang Jialiang shook his head slightly: "This Lingyun."
After thinking about it, he was also worried, so he followed Chu Lingyun outside.
"Captain, why are you here?"
Outside, Shen Hanwen, the team member who was on guard at the perimeter and in charge of temporary command, saw Chu Lingyun and asked in surprise.
In the action team, it is always the subordinates who do the hard work, while the officials always stay away for fear of getting into danger.
"Have you remembered all the goals?" Chu Lingyun did not answer his question, but asked in return.
Shen Hanwen's heart trembled, and he immediately replied: "Remember, we have seen the photos before, and we have seen the target again. Now the target is completely under our surveillance."
Chu Lingyun nodded and said, "That's good. We will act according to the pre-planned action. Once they have finished connecting, we will immediately arrest them. We absolutely cannot make any mistakes."
Shen Hanwen quickly responded, "Don't worry, Captain, there won't be any mistakes."
After they finished speaking, Wang Jialiang came after them.
"Lingyun, you're walking really fast."
Wang Jialiang chased after him, he wanted to see Chu Lingyun in person.
It is not easy to find a capable and trusted subordinate these days. Chu Lingyun has no background, but he comes from a clean family and is capable. Wang Yuemin has high expectations of him. As Wang Yuemin's first confidant, Wang Jialiang naturally supports his cousin without reservation.
"Team Leader Wang." Chu Lingyun was really surprised to see Wang Jialiang following him.
Wang Jialiang said, "I'm worried too, let's take a look together."
Wang Jialiang naturally wouldn't say it in front of the other team members. He was worried that Chu Lingyun would act rashly in a fit of impulse and get injured, which would make it difficult for him to explain to his cousin.
"Team leader, they've finished connecting."
Wang Jialiang was here, and his men followed him. The people in the intelligence team were very professional. Qian Cang Xiaoye and the people opposite did not have any conversation during the whole process, but their little action of passing notes under the table could not be hidden from the people in the intelligence team.
As soon as Wang Jialiang looked at Chu Lingyun, Chu Lingyun immediately said, "Okay, tell the brothers not to shoot if you can avoid it. You must capture him alive and act immediately."
Following Chu Lingyun's order, six people at the door of the noodle shop immediately rushed into the noodle shop. Loach, who was selling cigarettes, and the team members disguised as rickshaw drivers also rushed to the door.
As soon as Qian Cang Xiaoye finished his noodles, someone rushed in and pressed his head on the table. Three Browning pistols were pointed at his head at the same time.
His accomplice opposite him was also unable to escape. The other three team members held him down tightly, and the two were subdued in an instant.
The quality of the members of the Military Control Commission during this period was still very high. The members of the action team were basically the best players selected from the army. With so many people working together, they captured both of them cleanly and neatly.
After catching the man, Wang Jialiang didn't care about Chu Lingyun and immediately ran into the noodle shop.
Chu Lingyun followed, but his eyes swept around.
Because of the arrest operation at the noodle shop, a crowd of onlookers has begun to gather around.
Today's operation had indeed gone smoothly, but Chu Lingyun had always been somewhat suspicious in his previous life, and this time, he kept glancing around. Suddenly, a man wearing a felt hat on the west side of the noodle shop suddenly lowered his hat, turned around and walked out at a very fast speed.
Chu Lingyun immediately chased after him, but the entrance was already blocked by people watching the excitement. When Chu Lingyun reached the intersection, the man had already disappeared without a trace.
Chu Lingyun had very good eyesight. He remembered that when the man's hat was pressed down, there seemed to be a scar at the corner of his eye, but because he lowered his head, he could not see his true appearance clearly.
There must be something wrong with this man in the felt hat. Ordinary people who come to watch the fun, even if they have something to leave for, will look back every few steps and will not leave immediately if they see no one noticing them.
Inside the noodle shop, Wang Jialiang had already come to the table. The members of the action team pulled the two men's heads up so that Wang Jialiang could see their faces clearly.
Qiancang Xiaoye and Wang Jialiang had seen him secretly before, and they also saw him at the window just now. Now they just wanted to confirm his identity.
"That's him, take him away."
The arrest went smoothly and Wang Jialiang was very happy. Now that the person was caught, he would need to be quickly interrogated and follow up to capture more Japanese spies. That would be a huge achievement.
"Team leader, this is the information they contacted."
The intelligence team came forward and searched the contact person, and took out the note that Qian Cang Xiaoye had just passed to him. They handed it directly to Wang Jialiang without even looking at it.
This was irrefutable evidence of their espionage. Wang Jialiang took it immediately, walked aside, and then carefully opened it.
After taking a look, his brows immediately furrowed tightly.
"Collect the troops."
Chu Lingyun was a little disappointed that he couldn't find the man in the felt hat, so he could only order his men to go back. Fortunately, the Japanese spy who was watching him had been caught, and the person who had contacted him had also been caught.
But if the man in the felt hat just now is one of them, it will probably be difficult to dig deeper.
The people were caught and no one was injured. The mission can be said to be a complete success. The members of the action team happily escorted the two people out. The two people who were caught had been skillfully tied up.
Kidnapping people is the basic skill of the action team.
When leaving, Chu Lingyun noticed that Wang Jialiang's face was not very good at the moment.
However, the action team was only responsible for arresting people, and Chu Lingyun did not ask in detail. Once they caught the person and took him back to the interrogation room, their mission was completed. How to interrogate him next and what kind of important information to obtain were all the work of the intelligence team and had nothing to do with their action team.
Back at the Military Intelligence Department, everyone in Team Three was still very excited, but everyone remembered the confidentiality code. When they met other people here, no one said anything. It was not until they arrived at the office that they enthusiastically discussed the actions they had just taken.
Before returning, Wang Jialiang called Wang Yuemin. Wang Yuemin was already waiting outside the interrogation room. He wanted to personally interrogate the Japanese spy case.
"Stationmaster, something seems to be wrong."
When he saw Wang Yuemin, Wang Jialiang walked over first, lowered his head and spoke in a low voice.
Wang Yuemin was very confused and asked, "What's going on? What's wrong?"
"Take a look at this."
Wang Jialiang handed over the intelligence slip he had confiscated from the contact person. When Wang Yuemin opened it, his brows also furrowed deeply.
The content on the note was completely beyond Wang Yuemin's expectations. It was written in Chinese characters: one thousand gallons of newly arrived gasoline, three dollars and ten cents per gallon, six newly arrived Chevrolet cars, three thousand three hundred yuan each, five thousand newly arrived cigars, eight cents each.
"What is this?" Wang Yuemin raised his head and asked in surprise.
"This is the information about their meeting. I have personally searched both of them, and this is the only information we have. Our people saw the meeting with their own eyes, and this is it."
Wang Jialiang quickly said that when he saw the contents of the note, he felt something was wrong and went to search them personally, but there was only this note with something written on it on them, and everything else was normal.
Wang Yuemin thought for a moment and immediately ordered, "Take it to the technical team to verify and see if there is any other information. Come on, I will personally interrogate them."
"yes."
Wang Jialiang responded hurriedly, handed the note to the other members of the intelligence team, and followed Wang Yuemin into the interrogation room.
