"He went to the inside of this alley. My old customer was at the entrance of the alley. I didn't dare to follow him. I just took a peek at him and went to give shoes to the old customer."
In the alley, Liu Qiang carefully explained that he would not give the money to the man in the felt hat until he found him, and he hadn't gotten it yet.
He regretted a little, why he didn't follow up just now and find the man's residence directly. In this case, he could easily get one hundred yuan.
"Well done. Fortunately you didn't follow me, otherwise it would have been dangerous."
Chu Lingyun praised him. Liu Qiang was just a shoe repairman with no professional skills. The man in the felt hat was a hidden agent. Liu Qiang would definitely be discovered by him if he followed him. Given the ruthlessness of the Japanese, Liu Qiang would probably be doomed.
It doesn't matter if you don't know his address, this is the urban area, this is their territory, just search door to door.
"Zhong Hui, contact the police station and ask them to send more people."
Even though this is just a small alley, there are quite a lot of people living there. The whole alley is very deep, with at least hundreds of households. Chu Lingyun only brought three people with him, which was not enough manpower.
The Military Intelligence Division supervises the military and police. Although the police station is not under their direct control, they have a natural leadership advantage over the police. The police dare not disobey their orders.
"Yes, Captain."
Zhong Hui is an old man in the action team. He used to be a member of the Security Department and a trainer. Later, the Wuhan Station of the Military Intelligence Department was established. Because of his good skills, he was selected.
There are fourteen people in the three teams. In terms of personal strength, Zhong Hui is the strongest.
Zhong Hui contacted the police and revealed his identity as the Military Intelligence Division. The chief of the police branch was alarmed and sent out more than a hundred police officers from the branch to cooperate with the actions of the Military Intelligence Division.
"Remember, you are searching house to house for the purpose of checking household registration. No one can be spared. If you see a person with scars at the corners of his eyes, report it immediately and do not take any private actions. This is a military order. If you dare to violate it, you will be punished by military law.
"
Zhong Hui's three team members gave instructions to more than a hundred policemen. All the policemen stood straight and listened carefully. The gentlemen of the Military Intelligence Department are unreasonable. If they fall into their hands, they will be peeled off even if they die.
.
To be on the safe side, the scope of the search will not be limited to this one alley, but will also be searched in several nearby alleys.
There are several police officers blocking the entrance to each alley. Now, no one is allowed to enter or exit these alleys, and no one can get out.
Seeing that Chu Lingyun gave an order and so many police officers were dispatched and completely obeyed their orders, Liu Qiang realized that this boss Chu turned out to be a big shot.
It was good that he was a big shot, and he felt more at ease. Such a big shot would not waste his reward money afterwards.
As the police were dispatched, the residential area was in a state of chaos.
Chu Lingyun and Zhong Hui were waiting aside. They could not and had no way to follow the police to search door to door. They could just wait for the results of their investigation.
Ichiro Watanabe is packing his things at his home.
As early as in Japan, Ichiro Watanabe was a ronin samurai. Later he joined the Black Dragon Society and followed the Black Dragon Society members to Northeast China.
He stayed in the Northeast for ten years, during which time he was trained as a spy by the Black Dragon Society. Later, he was selected by Doi Keiji, who had a relationship with the Black Dragon Society, and joined the Japan Special High School and became a professional spy.
But during an operation, he was cut at the corner of his eye, leaving a deep scar.
A person with obvious physical characteristics like him was not suitable for frontline intelligence work, so he was sent to Wuhan by the Special High School Course and became an observer, codenamed Owl.
The so-called observer refers to a person who is on alert and observing on the periphery when other intelligence agents are engaged in intelligence work. When encountering danger, they must make correct responses or even rescue.
The noise outside caught Ichiro Watanabe's attention.
Ichiro Watanabe wanted to enter the room and take out the hidden pistol, but he hesitated and gave up the idea. After a while, his door was knocked heavily.
"Open the door, the police will check the household registration."
The policeman who called the door was very rude and arrogant. He was a good person in the police station, but he was arrested. These policemen are good at bullying the weak and fear the strong. At this time, they took out their anger on the common people.
In the past, some residents who were slow to open the door were even beaten by the police.
"Sir, I have registration."
Ichiro Watanabe has been in China for a long time and speaks Chinese very fluently. It is impossible to tell that he is Japanese.
He also has a very good understanding of China's national conditions. Household registration investigations like this happen every few months and he has long been accustomed to it.
The reason why he hides here is because the slums are crowded and chaotic, which is suitable for his disguise and lurking.
"Take it out and take a look."
The leading policeman saw the scar at the corner of his eye at a glance, but without making any noise, he scolded him and asked him to take out his household registration certificate. He pretended to check it for a few times, and then walked around in the yard before leaving.
"Captain, we found him. This man's name is Zhu He. He rented here a year ago at No. 71 in the alley. Do you want to arrest him now?"
After Zhong Hui received the news, he immediately reported it to Chu Lingyun. Chu Lingyun was shocked. As long as he found it, it would be useless no matter how deep you hide the bugs, they can still find you out.
"Take Liu Qiang to confirm. Once everything is correct, arrest him." Chu Lingyun didn't hesitate and immediately gave the order.
Chu Lingyun also understood that people with obvious external characteristics like the man in the felt hat could not engage in front-line intelligence work. He would not have any direct contact with front-line intelligence agents.
In this case, there is no need to take a long time to catch the big fish. If you catch it first and then pry open its mouth, you can still get the desired result.
"yes."
Zhong Hui accepted the order excitedly. He was going to arrest people again, and the arrests were most likely to be Japanese spies. At this time in the country, if we were to say which country we hated the most, Japan, which had invaded Northeast China, would definitely be ranked first.
Chu Lingyun personally led the team, along with Liu Qiang and the police, to surround the house where Ichiro Watanabe lived. Zhong Hui and another team member were lying next to the wall. As soon as there was any movement, they could immediately climb over the low road.
The wall, rushed inside and captured the person.
"Open the door."
The police knocked on the door again, this time arousing the suspicion of Ichiro Watanabe. He looked at the room behind him and shouted at the door: "Who is it?"
"Police, open the door quickly."
The police's knocking on the door intensified, almost like they were pounding on the door.
"I didn't check it just now, why are you here again?"
Instead, Ichiro Watanabe retreated toward the room, with no intention of opening the door.
Zhong Hui was right next to the wall, and he could hear Ichiro Watanabe's voice clearly. The position of the voice had changed, and he was retreating. He understood that the other party was alert.
