Chapter 415 The Last Person

But just as the atmosphere on the scene became more relaxed, the old boatman suddenly interjected: "Sir, this guest just threw a ball into the water, it looked like a piece of iron, and it sank very quickly."

what?
The middle-aged man looked at each other in disbelief. He was willing to spend one yuan a catty to buy those broken shrimps. You old guy even betrayed me. Are you not afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty?

What are you trying to figure out.

Everyone present kept their mouths shut. The police officers raised their guns nervously and discarded the items before undergoing inspection. There must be something wrong with the person in front of them, but they don't know if they are the target.

If so, they would have been lucky today. Although the Secret Service didn't say who they were arresting, all fools knew that the other party was investigating serious cases, which meant promotion and fortune.

For the first time without orders, the police officers consciously searched for shelters and loaded ammunition. The so-called wealth and wealth are in danger, as long as they don’t have to stay in this broken boat staring at the lake in a daze, this risk is worth taking.

The middle-aged man's scalp felt numb all of a sudden. He was really capsized in the gutter. He shouldn't be smart enough to evacuate from Xuanwu Lake. At least there is a chance to escape from the city through the land checkpoint. This is the end of it.

Unexpectedly, the Chinese tunic suit waved his hand as if he didn't hear what the old man said, "Go and verify his identity first, no matter what it is, it will be difficult to find it after throwing it into the water, right, Mr. Xia."

"Yes, I never did"

The middle-aged man who claimed to be Feng Chaoyuan was a little confused. Hearing that the other party did not pursue the matter for the time being, he answered casually in surprise, but after only uttering four words, he secretly called out that it was not good, and he was fooled.

When he came back to his senses, seven or eight long guns and short guns on the cruise ship had already been loaded, and a machine gun even protruded from the cockpit. The tense body of the middle-aged man suddenly relaxed, and he knew that there was no chance.

"Let's get to know each other again, I, Zuo Zhong, Xia Yanhui, the section chief of the intelligence department, you are not staying in the office, but you have an alias and go out of the city by boat. It seems that we need to have a good chat and take them away."

Zhongshan suit is naturally Zuo Zhong. Guessing that the other party might evacuate through Xuanwu Lake, he clicked here from the central gate card, and followed the police patrol boat to check several boats on the north side of the lake.

He saw this small boat just after checking three of them, and he knew he was in the right place just by looking at the passengers on board. The other person was Xia Yanhui, a section chief of the Central Party Department, among the 43 people.

This person is the same as Ren Yan. He usually stays in the office at noon and does not go back. The only difference is that he did not ask for leave from his boss.

After hearing the order, the little spies went down from the patrol boat and restrained Xia Yanhui, who was already captured, and put on handcuffs and shackles. It was not because there were not enough people, but because they were afraid that the boat would not be able to carry too many people.

Xia Yanhui didn't know what to think, he neither resisted nor committed suicide, he just stood there stupidly, maybe he was afraid that the spies would shoot directly, even if ants steal, let alone people.

"Section Chief, there is no problem with the mouth and body. There is a lockpicking tool under the skin on the inner side of the wrist. It is the same model as the one found before. It cannot be taken out on the spot and has to be returned to the department." Secret Service reported.

"It's okay, tie him back up, and you will be escorted later. You must stay at every step, and you can't let him leave your sight for a second. If you do a good job, you will be rewarded. If you don't do it well, go to Deputy Section Chief Gu to receive the punishment."

Zuo Zhong looked at the ashen-faced spy suspect, and his opponent issued a death order. Since the Manchukuo spy case began, it took several months, and they finally wiped out the relevant spy team.

This summer has been a bit tiring. He and everyone else have been in a state of exhaustion. Now it's all right. As long as Xia Yanhui's identity as a spy is confirmed, the case can be officially closed.

As for whether Xia Yanhui will speak up, this question is not important. He has been lurking in the Central Party Headquarters for many years, and he should have stolen a lot of information. A hasty withdrawal will definitely leave some clues.

Just check, it's not difficult.

Zuo Zhong glanced at the lake. The things the other party just threw away were probably evidence. He turned his head and said to the little spy who accompanied him, "Go down and look for it, and see if you can touch anything."

That being said, in fact, he didn't have much hope. There was no strong wind and waves in Xuanwu Lake, but the accumulation layer at the bottom of the lake was very thick. If there was any disturbance, the lake water would become muddy, and divers could not see clearly at all.

At this time, the old boatman spoke again, and said in a flattering tone: "Sir, the old man is very familiar with the bottom of this lake, and I promise to fish out the things thrown away by this guest, just one thing for you.

I told him earlier that he bought all these dried shrimps and whitebait when he went ashore. Could you please let him settle the bill for me first, otherwise today will be a waste of time. "

Zuo Zhong nodded when he heard the words, it would be good to have an old boatman to help salvage, besides, only Xia Yanhui and the other party know the specific location of entering the water, so they can be fished out early and returned earlier, so as not to waste time.

He smiled and asked casually: "How much is your dried shrimp and whitebait per catty? I also want to buy some and try it. They say that Jinling's dried shrimp soup is the freshest. I have been in Jinling for so long, but I really haven't tasted it."

"Okay, not expensive."

The old boatman bared his teeth and said: "One yuan can buy ten catties, and there is no groceries in custody. If you want to eat, sir, the old man can give you a few catties. All of them are fished by yourself, no money is required."

At this time, Xia Yanhui was being twisted by the spy, his nose was almost crooked when he heard these words, his eyes were red and he shouted: "Old man, that's not what you said just now, one yuan is one catty!"

Adults collapse in a flash.

He looked at the old boatman, and complained to Zuo Zhong and the others in grief and indignation: "It was agreed to cross the river with one yuan, and this person paddled to Wuzhou for a long time. I added one yuan to speed up, and forced to sell me shrimp.

If it weren't for him, I would have gone ashore a long time ago. Don't try to find me. Time is your life. I am willing to cooperate with you. As long as this old guy is arrested, he is a fraud and blackmail. "

Xia Yanhui was obviously driven mad by the old boatman's coquettish operation, and would rather cooperate with the Secret Service than pull the other party into the water. This is good news, a spy who is willing to cooperate is very valuable.

But Zuo Zhong shook his head regretfully: "I'm sorry, Chief Xia, our Secret Service doesn't care about public security cases, why don't you ask the sheriff, maybe he'll help you catch this boatman, how about it."

He said this not to be partial to the old man, but no matter what the circumstances, the intelligence personnel should not be led by the other party. It is no problem to cooperate, and the conditions and requirements must be put forward by them.

Xia Yanhui was so angry that he turned his head to look at the sheriff, who immediately turned his head to the sky and looked at Yun Duo. He dared to intervene in matters that the Secret Service didn't want to take care of.

"Ah, I'm so pissed off, you shameless Chinese, the Great Japanese Empire will definitely kill you all." Xia Yanhui yelled crazily, and two spies with big waists couldn't restrain him.

"Hehe, I knew you were not a good guy. A normal person can cross the river with only three cents. You gave me one yuan, but you are willing to buy dried shrimps for one yuan per catty. You are either a thief or a robber.

It’s true that the old man didn’t see your look of wanting to kill someone. Let me tell you, the old man has crossed more bridges than you have traveled. He originally wanted to throw you into the lake before calling someone. Bah, it’s your fate. "

The old boatman took off his clothes at some point, took two sips with his pipe in his mouth, and then sneered and jumped into the lake.

Xia Yanhui's face turned blue and red, this old guy was too cunning, he was thinking how to kill him in pain, but in the end he was almost thrown into the lake to feed the fish, it was too embarrassing.

After being hit like this, he regained his composure, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and let the spies tie him up, looking like a broken jar, not sure if he was angry.

After two or three minutes, the old boatman hadn't come up yet, only bubbles came out from the side of the boat from time to time, and it wasn't until Zuo Zhong began to worry about whether the other party was drowned that the old man came out of the water again.

Holding a black thing in his hand, he shouted: "Sir, I found it. You can't break your promise. There is a lot of money in his wallet. The old man only needs ten yuan, and the rest belongs to the officer."

This old guy was afraid that the spies would cross the river and tear down the bridge, so he deliberately hid in the lake and couldn't come up. He had to wait for an affirmative answer, otherwise he might slip the evidence and fall into the water again. It's really slippery.

"Everything on him is physical evidence, so I can't give it to you." Zuo Zhong shook his head, and added without waiting for the other party's hand to slip: "But I can give you my money. Take it, and give it to us."

After speaking, he took out a ten yuan bill and threw it into the lake. Zuo Zhong knew that the other party didn't want to talk nonsense, so he just talked with money, which was just ten yuan.

What's more, the money can be reimbursed when he goes back, and the informant's fee will be used for his reputation.

The old boatman was not too dirty, he put the banknote in his mouth and bit it, swam a few times to the side of the patrol boat, handed the things in his hand to the dog-legged sheriff, and then returned to the boat.

Zuo Zhong recognized at a glance that this dark mass was a Browning M1910, the standard equipment of Spies. This may be because this gun was kept in large quantities in the Republic of China, and it was easy to replenish ammunition.

He took the gun, took out a handkerchief and wiped the mud off the gun. A standard black gun, without serial number or stamp, should be a weapon directly from the black market. It was traded in cash and could not be traced.

Amidst the dumbfoundedness of the surrounding police officers, he casually turned the gun into parts, picked up the most important barrel and looked at the sun. The rifling was basically unworn and there were no obvious signs of use.

This gun has not been shot many times, it is most likely a self-defense pistol. Xia Yanhui's mission is similar to that of the others in Nandou, they are mainly focused on lurking to obtain information, and do not participate in operations.

After Zuo Zhong thought about it, the gun was reassembled. He stretched out his right hand towards the cockpit and drew a circle. The cruise ship made a booming sound of acceleration, leaving the red sunset behind.

Waves set off on the calm lake and wandered towards the distance, but finally disappeared slowly. This is like the work of the Secret Service. No one knows what they have done.

Work in the dark and serve the light.
