Chu Lingyun did not leave, but waited peacefully near the shop.
He Nian was a little surprised. Chu Lingyun was so young, he didn't expect to be so patient.
Intelligence work must be done with enough patience and without any urgency. Any small mistake may cause serious consequences, or even lead to failure.
Every twenty minutes, Chu Lingyun would make a phone call to the surveillance point.
After Zhu Lihua and Wang Wei returned home, there was no sign of going out. If Zhu Lihua was a traitor and would not leave tonight, then she must have passed on the information.
There was nothing unusual about Zhao Fei.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the monitoring equipment finally made some noise.
"Section chief, team leader, someone nearby sent a report and detected it."
Loach ran over to report, and He Nian's face was filled with joy. After waiting for so long, he finally got the desired result.
He looked at Chu Lingyun, he would not jump over Chu Lingyun to give any orders.
"Team leader, when will we arrest people?"
Loach asked excitedly. Catching the spy and the traitor was definitely a great achievement. He was able to make great achievements when he first arrived at the headquarters. Sure enough, following the team leader was the wisest decision.
Chu Lingyun said nothing and looked at the shops in the distance.
The shop had been closed long ago, and there were no lights now, as if the people inside had taken a rest. However, Chu Lingyun understood that the people inside were secretly sending reports.
Loach had investigated before and found that there were only two people in the shop, the boss and the clerk.
This is a small shop. In addition to some women's cosmetics, there are also some other exquisite items, including watches, flashlights, radios, etc.
This kind of shop is more like a boutique.
After a while, Chu Lingyun shook his head: "Continue to monitor."
Approval flashed through He Nian's eyes. He was not impatient or impatient. He could still be patient at this time and did not think about arresting people and making meritorious deeds. It was even more rare and valuable.
As a veteran intelligence agent and the chief of the operations section, he knew very well that if a Japanese spy sent such important information, he would never send it just once. In order to avoid missing the reception of the message, such information would have to be sent at least twice.
An hour later, the monitoring equipment discovered the radio signal again, and this time the monitoring narrowed the range to within one kilometer.
"Ling Yun, when do you plan to close the network?" He Nian finally asked.
After hesitating for a moment, Chu Lingyun said: "Section Chief, I want to wait until tomorrow morning to close the network."
"Why?" He Nian was obviously interested.
"They have just sent out a report, and they must be on alert now. If we arrest people at this time, it is likely to turn into a force attack, which can easily cause casualties. These Japanese spies are not only ruthless to the enemy, but also ruthless to themselves. I am in Wuhan
At that time, many of the captured Japanese spies had grenades in their hands. If they detonated the grenades, we would get nothing."
"As long as we keep an eye on them tonight, they will definitely relax tomorrow morning. Moreover, if they open the store and pretend to be customers tomorrow morning, it will be easier to arrest them."
Chu Lingyun patiently explained that now that the identity of the other party has been determined, he can be arrested at any time.
But the risk of arrest at this time is really too high. Even if you act after early morning, once the opponent notices, the arrest will become a violent attack.
It's different in the morning. Whether it's the spy in the shop or Zhu Lihua, they have to go out in the morning. Zhu Lihua and Wang Wei have to go to the office to work. It will definitely be much easier to catch them there than at home.
"Ling Yun, I really didn't expect you to be so calm. Very good. Then I will arrest you tomorrow morning to make sure nothing goes wrong. After the operation is successful, I will ask for your credit at Virgo's place."
He Nian said with emotion, Chu Lingyun was young, neither arrogant nor impetuous, he had already discovered the enemy, and he was so calm and chose the most suitable time.
He Nian naturally knows that the risk of arrest in the morning is far lower than that in the evening.
By delaying the arrest, it seems that the enemy may escape, but this is not the case. First of all, their actions are unknown to the enemy. As long as their actions are not leaked, the enemy will think they are safe and nothing is happening as before.
Take ten thousand steps back, even if the enemy discovers something at night, as long as they are properly arranged and guarded by enough people, they will never be able to escape. However, it will become a battle.
Any action has risks. In comparison, arresting in the morning is indeed the best time.
"Thank you for the compliment, Section Chief. I will stay here tonight. Section Chief, please go back and rest early."
Chu Lingyun quickly said that it would be better if He Nian agreed to his plan. He was really worried that He Nian was impatient and wanted to take the credit early and let him arrest people now.
He Nian nodded: "Okay, I won't come tomorrow. I will wait for you in the office. You can catch them early, and then go back to the office to catch Zhu Lihua. As for Wang Wei, I will catch them myself."
"Yes, section chief."
Chu Lingyun responded that Wang Wei's level was much higher than him, and even if he was suspected of Tongri, Chu Lingyun was not suitable to arrest people by himself.
It's easy to arrest people, but it can easily leave the impression of arrogance on others.
He had just been transferred to the headquarters, and the deputy section chief, Lieutenant Colonel, would arrest him whenever he asked. No matter what the reason was, it would always make people feel arrogant and domineering.
Everyone took turns to rest, and at the same time ensured that at least fifteen people kept an eye on the front and back doors of the shop. Chu Lingyun's order to them was to see even a fly flying out.
At around eight o'clock in the morning, when there were more people on the street, the store door finally opened.
The team members who had been waiting all night were all refreshed. They understood that the time for real action was coming. Whether they were team members brought from the army or students selected from Hangzhou, they would be very excited.
This is their first action after coming to the Military Intelligence Office. Everyone wants to make the action beautiful and leave no regrets.
"Good morning, Mr. Zhao."
A man in his thirties wearing glasses walked into the shop, followed by a young man. The clerk in the shop smiled and said hello, and glanced at the young man.
"Xiao Hu, my nephew wants a watch. Take out your watch and show it to me."
The man was smiling, but he was extremely nervous inside. He didn't dare to look around and forced himself to stay calm.
The young man following him was Liang Yu. Chu Lingyun wanted to ensure that the two of them were captured alive. The best way was to have both of them inside the store and make a sudden move to subdue them.
In this case, someone needs to enter the store in advance to inquire about the situation, and at the same time send out the most suitable signal for action.
The members of the action team couldn't do this. Niyi looked for a few people nearby, and finally found a person who often came to this store to buy things. After threatening him with inducements, he asked him to bring Liang Yu in to investigate.
There is a certain risk in looking for ordinary people. After all, ordinary people do not have any experience and are likely to make mistakes when they are nervous.
In order to take precautions, all the action team members on the Loach side are fully prepared. If an accident occurs, they will immediately rush into the store and arrest people by force.
