"Ring ring ring ring!" The phone on the table rang.
Jiang Xinyu picked up the phone: "Hello, who is this?"
"Captain Jiang, there is a lottery for the association. You are very lucky and have received a small gift. I will keep it for you temporarily. You can pick it up when it is convenient." Li Xiance's voice came on the phone.
"Okay, thank you Mr. Li."
"You are welcome! See you."
"goodbye."
Jiang Xinyu knew that the purpose of Li Xiance's phone call was to allow them to have a reasonable process of public communication, otherwise it would appear too abrupt.
"Mina, are you feeling better?"
"much better."
"It's very late, I'll take you back."
"Um."
After sending Hattori Mina home, Jiang Xinyu drove to Bank of Manchuria. The actions of Ning Zhaowei and Kato tonight made people feel particularly strange.
Bank of Manchuria is a single four-story building. It has been closed for business at this time. The main door is locked and the whole building is dark.
Jiang Xinyu suddenly felt something in his heart. He was keenly aware of the anomaly. Because the bank had security guards on duty, no matter how late it was, there would definitely be lights in the lobby on the first floor.
What happened tonight? Where are the guards?
Jiang Xinyu turned off the car lights and took a detour to the back door of the bank. From a distance, he saw two cars parked side by side at the door. One was a fully enclosed medium-sized truck with the Bank of Manchuria logo printed on it, and the other was a silver-gray sedan with license plate number: 01.
—253!
This is Ning Zhaowei’s car!
Jiang Xinyu didn't dare to get too close. He found that the surroundings seemed quiet as usual, but in fact it was loose on the outside and tight on the inside. From time to time, someone was patrolling secretly.
More than a dozen people came out of the building one after another, each holding a half-meter-square cardboard box and placing it in the truck compartment. They carried it back and forth for about an hour.
After a while, Kato appeared at the door. He called two people over and gave a few instructions in a low voice. Then the lights came on and the truck increased the accelerator and drove westward.
Jiang Xinyu thought for a while and then drove quietly to follow the truck. He wanted to see where the truck was going!
After a period of tracking and monitoring, Jiang Xinyu basically grasped the rules of the whole matter.
Every Saturday and Sunday evening, Kato and Ning Zhaowei would come to Bank of Manchuria, take a cart of cartons from the bank and rush to the dock. There would be a Japanese cargo ship waiting there, and the cartons would be quickly shipped.
Walk.
The reason why there were no guards on duty that night was probably due to confidentiality considerations. After all, the bank guards are all Chinese.
What puzzles Jiang Xinyu is that the deputy director of the Special Higher Education Course and the assistant manager of the bank can personally take charge and conduct the operation secretly at night. What will be in the carton?
It's definitely not machinery and equipment. It's impossible for that kind of thing to be packed into cartons of the same specifications, and they didn't deliberately handle it with care when loading it into the car. There must be items inside that are not afraid of falling...
Saturday, Detective Team Headquarters.
“Tuk-tuk!”
There was a knock on the door.
Jiang Xinyu put down the tea bowl in his hand and said, "Come in!"
Li Kai opened the door and walked in, saying: "Captain, are you looking for me?"
"Team Leader Li, how is the investigation into the underground printing factory going?"
"The rebels were very cunning. Although they arrested a few people distributing leaflets, they never found the printing factory."
"Who is distributing flyers?"
"They are all students from various schools."
"What are you going to do about it?"
"According to past practice, we would first imprison them for a period of time, let their family members get money to redeem them, and then send people to secretly monitor them!"
"Students are simple-minded and easily deceived by others. Insiders stationed in various schools must pay close attention to those who participate in various societies and guard against rebels taking the opportunity to incite!"
"I'm already doing this. The people I caught are the lists provided by insiders!"
"That's good..." Jiang Xinyu took a sip of tea and said: "According to the intelligence reported below, the underground printing factory likes to operate at night, so it is necessary for us to arrange a surprise inspection!"
Li Kai thought for a moment and said, "We are short of manpower. Should we coordinate with the police station and launch a joint operation?"
Jiang Xinyu shook his head and said: "When the police station is dispatched, there will be a lot of trouble. If you are a rebel, will you still come out for activities?"
"Then what do you mean..."
"Since we have limited manpower, we have to arrange to set up traffic jams on important road sections. People from the action team and intelligence team are mixed into five teams, 18th Street, Gongshi Road, Songdao Street, Taitian Street and Yunhe West Road. Tonight at 8 o'clock
Bell, act in unison!”
"yes!"
"In addition, the rebels must have countermeasures in advance, such as using forged documents or stolen vehicles. Therefore, when inspecting various road sections, seeing is believing!"
"clear!"
The sections arranged by Jiang Xinyu avoided the area around the newspaper office and apartments, so it was basically unlikely that one of his people would be caught by mistake. Everything else was just a cover. The real target was Canal West Road, which was the only way for Bank of Manchuria to go to the dock.
!
Eight o'clock in the evening, Canal West Road.
The special agents of the detective team set up temporary roadblocks at the intersection. Everyone must show their ID and check their belongings. Those who behave suspiciously must explain the reason for their appearance on the street at night.
Zhao Yuhu was in charge of this checkpoint. He did not dare to slack off at all and carefully checked every pedestrian and every car, because Jiang Xinyu was sitting in a car on the roadside.
"Didi——"
The medium-sized truck belonging to the Bank of Manchuria drove over. Zhao Yuhu extended his hand to indicate the car to stop and walked to the door. Including the driver, there were three people in the cab.
Zhao Yuhu looked at them and said: "The detective team came to check, show your IDs!"
One of the men wearing a peaked cap said: "We are Japanese!"
Zhao Yuhu sneered and said: "I don't care whether you are Japanese or Chinese. If you don't show your ID, you can't pass!"
"You..." The peaked hat was about to explode.
"Takagi-kun, you have to calm down and don't forget Deputy Section Chief Kato's order!" the companion beside him whispered.
Takagi glared at Zhao Yuhu fiercely, reached out and took out the ID from his arms and handed it over.
Zhao Yuhu checked the certificates and said, "Are you from the special higher education course?"
"That's right!"
"Open the carriage!"
Takagi cursed in a low voice: "You bastard, you know we are from the extra-high-level course, but you still don't let us go!"
Zhao Yuhu also changed his expression and said: "How do I know whether you are true or false? One last time, open the carriage for inspection!"
Takagi's face was livid, and his hands slowly touched his waist. Zhao Yuhu stepped back alertly, reached out and took out his pistol, and shouted: "Don't move!"
Several agents from the detective team took out their pistols and surrounded the truck.
Zhao Yuhu walked around to the back of the car, opened the door, and took a look with his flashlight. In addition to the two people escorting the car, there was also a car full of unmarked cardboard boxes.
