At nine o'clock the next morning, ten large trucks with military police from the Songhu Garrison Command stopped in front of the Conway Building. A company of police officers immediately drove away pedestrians on the road and blocked the entire building and nearby roads.
Weng Bailing led the troops led by three division chiefs and commanded the Second Operation Brigade to quickly enter the building and start arresting all the people in the building.
All kinds of screams suddenly came from the building, and then groups of people were driven out and forced into large trucks that had been prepared. Each vehicle was surrounded by several armed police officers.
"Why are you arresting people? Arresting people at will without any evidence is a crime."
"Let me tell you, our company has a background, and I will go to Nanjing to sue you."
…
Lu Ming was sitting in the car, watching this farce, and thinking that he was the initiator, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
"Master Lu, why don't you go in and arrest people?" An Gonggen asked with a smile.
"Let others do this kind of show-off thing, I'm not interested." Lu Ming stretched and said.
An Gonggen drove him here in the morning, and the First Action Brigade was not involved. Whether it was to arrest the Communist Party or other Chinese, they refused. This was a consensus reached in advance.
An Gonggen was very grateful to Lu Ming for his tolerance. Another person would never agree to their conditions casually with so much money to support them.
The paying party is generally not so reasonable: you have to do whatever I ask you to do, or get out.
"Showing one's face? I think it's something that offends people. How can the people who work in this place have no background at all? Isn't there an old Chinese saying that it's easier to invite gods than to send them away?" An Gonggen said with a smile.
.
"It's okay to offend people. Fuxing Society is not afraid of offending people. Although this organization is not a state agency, it is not subject to any restrictions." Lu Ming said with a sarcastic smile on his face.
In terms of backstage, the Fuxing Society will not be afraid of any organization. Chairman Chiang is the general backstage of the Fuxing Society. As long as Chairman Chiang does not fall, they can go their own way.
The arrest lasted for two hours. Many people refused to cooperate and had physical contact with people from the operations team. As a result, they were all beaten with bruises and bruises on their noses and faces, and were escorted to trucks outside.
Although it was the first time for the members of the Second Operation Brigade to participate in the operation, they were not considered novices. They were selected from various places and had experience in the police or the military. However, some of the team members who were students were a little slow.
When I meet some people who are good at pestering, I don’t know how to deal with them.
In any case, after two hours, the building was completely emptied, and all the people inside were put into cars without leaving the ground, and then taken back to the underground interrogation room of Fuxing Society.
The Blue Clothes Society was reorganized into the Fuxing Society. One of the biggest changes was that the Fuxing Society now had law enforcement powers and could arrest criminals individually and conduct separate interrogations.
If you encounter a case related to the Communist Party, you can also directly finalize the case and then submit it to the Nanjing Military Commission for approval.
If it is other cases, such as smuggling and trafficking, drug manufacturing and trafficking, illegal prostitution, etc., they must be handed over to the local police station and then heard by the local court.
The case that the Fuxing Society is most interested in is targeting the underground Communist Party organization, because it can demonstrate their power, and the other is targeting the Japanese.
The basement of the office building of Fuxingshe's Second Operation Brigade was transformed into a temporary prison cell. Naturally, there were various torture instruments inside, and there were multiple interrogation rooms that could interrogate ten prisoners at the same time.
After returning to the Fuxing Society, the people in the society were in high spirits, as if they had solved a major case involving the Communist Party.
"How is the situation inside? Have you found any clues?" Lu Ming asked Zhao Yuanliang, director of the Fifth Division.
"I'm not sure yet, but one thing I feel is strange is that a Rongcheng trading company suddenly closed down the day before yesterday and the house was empty. When we went in today, there wasn't even a piece of paper inside. It was neatly tidied up, which was a bit abnormal.
Ah." Zhao Yuanliang frowned.
"The day before yesterday? We hadn't decided to take action against the Conway Building at that time, right?" Lu Ming thought for a moment and said.
"Yes, so there is no possibility of the news leaking out in advance. We only decided to attack the Conway Building last night, but Rongcheng Trading was closed the day before yesterday. There should be no connection, but I always feel something is strange."
"Then check this trading company carefully." Lu Ming said.
"If there is no underground party among these arrested people, then Rongcheng Trading is most likely an underground organization of the Communist Party." Zhao Yuanliang said.
"Not necessarily. In Shanghai, trading companies are established and closed every day. The market is constantly changing. It's difficult to do business these days." Lu Ming sighed.
"That's true, Commander Lu is right, maybe I've thought too much." Zhao Yuanliang said with an apologetic smile.
"In addition, please tell the interrogators what I said. During the first interrogation, torture instruments are absolutely not allowed to be used. Some of the people arrested have backgrounds. Although we are not afraid, we don't need to mess with them too much.
Trouble." Lu Ming explained.
"Okay, I will deliver the message as directed by Chief Lu in a moment." Zhao Yuanliang stood up straight and said.
"Also, we must allow those people to make phone calls and ask them to find their relatives or friends as guarantees. If they have a clean background and are confirmed to be no suspects, we will release them from prison." Lu Ming warned.
These matters were clearly explained at the meeting last night. Lu Ming was afraid that the interrogators would not grasp the standards well, so he asked Zhao Yuanliang to emphasize them again.
Lu Ming returned to his office. When Liu Qiwen saw him, she came up to him and said with a smile: "President, there is a lot of excitement and excitement outside. It seems that the Communist Party has been successfully captured soon."
"The horse has arrived, but it's not certain whether it will succeed." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"Why do you say that?" Liu Qiwen didn't understand what Lu Ming meant.
"All the people have been arrested. It's hard to say whether there are underground gangs among them. This needs further confirmation. In other words, it is still unknown." Lu Ming waved his hand.
"President, why don't you personally supervise the interrogation process?" Liu Qiwen asked puzzledly.
"The gentleman is far away from the kitchen." Lu Ming dropped a sentence.
Lu Ming is now in a very relaxed mood. He learned that Rongcheng Trading closed early and left, which means that it must be the stronghold of the Communist Party's underground organization.
His warning worked. The underground party organization has safely evacuated the building and has long since disappeared.
It can be predicted that among the hundreds of people that the Fuxing Society went to great lengths to arrest, there was not even an underground party member.
Haha, just wait and see how Weng Bailing ends up. He might get angry, but what's the use?
Weng Bailing's face was full of excitement and high spirits. He was the first to rush into the building brandishing a pistol, and he was not afraid that someone from the underground party might actually shoot him inside.
Since he took the lead in this operation, he must have thought he could come out on top, so let him finish it off on his own.
Lu Ming returned to his desk and continued to read the report. Then he thought of Liu Qiwen's burns and came over to inquire.
Liu Qiwen stretched out her white and tender hands in front of Lu Ming to show him that the burn had healed, but there was still a small dark red shadow on the burnt area, which needed to be healed slowly.
"It's all healed. It doesn't hurt at all." Liu Qiwen said happily, waving her little hands.
"That's good." Lu Ming was also very happy.
"But I'm afraid I'll get scars." Liu Qiwen frowned slightly.
"Then what should I do? Is it okay?" Lu Ming didn't understand how girls pay attention to their skin.
"If you kiss it again, there won't be any scars." Liu Qiwen giggled.
Lu Ming knew that he had been fooled, so he ignored her, returned to the table and continued to read the financial statements, and then signed each statement.
"Stingy guy." Liu Qiwen said coquettishly, then lowered her head to look at her things.
Not long after, the phones in Weng Bailing's office, as well as the phones in almost all the offices upstairs and downstairs, started ringing one after another, non-stop.
It seemed like everyone in the building was answering the phone and kept explaining something on the phone.
Lu Ming couldn't hear clearly what these people were saying, but he could roughly guess that they were calls from officials at all levels.
The Fuxing Society must have stung several hornet's nests, both large and small.
To be honest, Fuxing Society is not afraid of stirring up a hornet's nest. The key is not to just stir up a hornet's nest without catching the Communist Party. This would be embarrassing.
Now only Lu Ming knows that the Fuxing Society has rushed to the bottom this time and gained nothing but a lot of troubles.
