Xu Siqi waved his hand, indicating that the patrolman was ready to force his way in.
The lights in the room turned on, and the man kept saying: "It's coming, it's coming, just a moment."
After a while, the door opened.
The man is about thirty years old, wearing a blue and white striped pajamas. He has a natural smile and always looks very easy-going.
"It took so long to open the door, why are you taking so long?"
asked the patrolman who knocked on the door.
The man explained: "I just fell asleep, and it took me a while to get up."
The patrolman didn't ask any questions and rushed in first.
"you……"
"This is a search warrant!"
"Officer, what are you searching for?"
"The Communist Party is going to invade!"
“…”
"What is your name?"
"Zhang Yafan."
"Sit here and don't move."
"Officer, I..."
"sit down!"
Two patrolmen were left standing guard at the door, and everyone else, including Xu Siqi, entered the house.
When passing by Zhang Yafan, Jiang Bin looked him up and down and said, "In a hurry, my hair was not messed up at all, and I could even think of putting on my socks. Mr. Zhang, you have such a calm temperament."
Zhang Yafan was stunned for a while, and cold sweat gradually broke out on his forehead.
Although the room is not big, it has all the basic functions: bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, living room, and a utility room of less than ten square meters.
Jiang Bin thought for a moment and stepped into the utility room.
The room looked extremely messy, with all kinds of debris piled up randomly around it. A dilapidated Eight Immortals table was placed in the corner, with a round wooden stool next to it.
The Eight Immortals table and stools are very clean, obviously due to frequent use.
Under the table, there is a power socket.
Jiang Bin knelt down and looked carefully for a while under the light, and couldn't help but smile, as if he understood everything.
Coming out of the utility room and approaching Xu Siqi and Zheng Zheng, Jiang Bin whispered: "If Zhang Yafan is the dispatcher, the radio station must be hidden in the utility room!"
Xu Siqi nodded: "Zheng Zheng and I are also talking about this matter and are preparing to discuss it with you."
Jiang Bin's eyes flashed: "What are we discussing?"
He said solemnly: "What Siqi means is whether to catch it now or save it for a long time to catch big fish."
Jiang Bin couldn't help but ask: "How did you see it?"
Xu Siqi said: "Zhang Yafan didn't look like he had just woken up. When we came, the lights were dark in the room. The question is, if Zhang Yafan didn't sleep, then where was he? Sitting in the dark in a daze? It's obviously impossible.
The utility room is in the middle of the house and has no windows. So, I concluded that he must have been in the utility room just now. If my guess is correct, he was probably sending a report!"
Jiang Bin gave a thumbs up: "Good advice, Inspector Xu! However, I think the arrest should be carried out immediately. The radio station of the Communist Party's Finance Department has no higher-level department in Shanghai than them. Besides, I just cross-examined
Zhang Yafan, he now knows exactly what is going on. I just guarantee that as soon as we take a step forward, he will slip away."
"I think Jiang Bin is right." He solemnly agreed.
Xu Siqi called the inspector over and ordered: "Focus on the utility room, walls, and floor tiles, and check them carefully!"
"yes!"
The inspector immediately arranged for manpower to clear out everything in the utility room.
Seeing Jiang Bin enter the utility room, checking the dust on the tables and chairs, and observing the power sockets, Xu Siqi already knew that the telegraph operator Zhang Yafan was completely exposed.
There is no way, Zhang Yafan has too many flaws.
The state of a person who has just woken up from sleep is definitely different from usual. As long as you pay attention and observe carefully, you can see the difference.
Moreover, in this case, Zhang Yafan actually wore socks, which is a flaw that cannot be justified.
Even those on patrol were more or less suspicious.
With Xu Siqi's observation ability, if he continues to turn a blind eye, it will inevitably be somewhat inconsistent with common sense.
Therefore, he could only express his doubts first.
In this way, it is equivalent to changing from passive to active, and no one will have any doubts about him.
Under Xu Siqi's order, the patrol conducted a focused search of the utility room.
The utility room was small to begin with, and within twenty minutes, three brown suitcases were found in the wall behind the utility room.
One x210 radio station and one rca 212 radio station.
rca212 is a super high-power radio station that can communicate directly with Mosquito.
In addition, a lot of accessories and equipment were also found, including transformers, gr band selectors, low-voltage constant transformers, adding and subtracting resistors, dry batteries, etc.
The police officers were extremely excited. After cracking this big case, everyone would be rewarded. In addition to the increase in salary and benefits, there would also be an additional bonus.
I searched again and found nothing of value.
Each of the two suitcases contained a radio.
The rca212 radio accessories are neatly arranged, but the x210 radio seems very messy. Headphones and shortwave wireless receivers are all randomly stuffed inside.
Xu Siqi thought for a moment, ordered someone to bring Zhang Yafan over, and said, "When we were searching nearby, you were sending a report, right?"
Zhang Yafan remained silent.
"Where is the telegraph manuscript?" Xu Siqi continued to ask.
"I'm asking you a question, I'm mute!"
He solemnly opened his bow from left to right and gave Zhang Yafan two big mouths.
Zheng Zheng hit Zhang Yafan very hard, and Zhang Yafan took two steps back, with blood flowing from his nostrils.
Xu Siqi wanted to stop him, but then he thought again and entered the interrogation room of the patrol room. It was not a matter of two words. It was a good thing to let Zhang Yafan experience it in advance.
Jiang Bin said from the side: "Zhang Yafan, as long as you confess truthfully, not only will you not go to jail, but you will also get a decent job. I guarantee that the salary will be at least twice what you are now. How about it, don't you think about it?"
Zhang Yafan hesitated for a while and then said: "Who are you?"
"I am a representative of the Shanghai City Hall. I cooperate with the British Concession Patrol Office and specialize in handling cases like yours."
"represent?"
"This is my identification."
“…”
Jiang Bin continued to persuade: "Mr. Zhang, you still can't understand the current situation? The Communist Party is at the end of its rope, and there are many senior generals of the Hong Army who have abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side. Don't talk about it, you know Kong Hechong, right? The committee is in Nanchang
What an honor it is to be received by Xingying in person? If you don’t tell me here, will you be able to withstand the whip and the tiger bench when you enter the interrogation room of the patrol room? "
After a long silence, Zhang Yafan said: "I was indeed sending a report just now..."
For a short time, there was silence in the house.
It took almost no effort to get a Communist to tell the truth. This was an unexpected surprise.
The Hong army prepared to withdraw strategically to northern Shaanxi, and a large number of senior generals rebelled and surrendered to the enemy.
As the dispatcher of the Finance Department, Zhang Yafan knows these depressing news better than anyone else.
