Chapter 2834 Preemptive Strike
The Public Security Bureau of Beijing.
In the conference room.
In the main seat, Director Luo, with his gray hair and reading glasses, sat upright, his hands resting naturally on the table, his face calm yet exuding an indescribable air of authority.
Below, on the left, is a middle-aged man with a square face, holding a pencil in his hand, deep in thought.
Next to the middle-aged man was the elderly Mr. Duo, and behind him were several officials from the General Administration.
Opposite the square-faced middle-aged man sat Yu Zecheng.
However, this time, it wasn't Xiao Liu and his group accompanying Yu Zecheng, but Hao Pingchuan from Shanghai.
The fact that the two of them were here meant that their investigations had completely overlapped.
That's why we have today's meeting.
"Everyone's here, let's start the meeting."
Director Luo cleared his throat, and then the meeting officially began.
Looking around, Director Luo turned to Yu Zecheng and said, "Director Yu, please explain the situation first."
Yu Zecheng lifted himself off the chair, propped his arms on the table, and then nodded, saying, "Director Luo, hello everyone."
"I won't introduce myself, I'll just talk about the case."
Everyone immediately perked up and listened attentively.
“We received information from Shanghai last month that a group of people had infiltrated the area in disguise to carry out a mission.”
"So we sent people into Shanghai, and with the cooperation of our comrades there, we basically got a clear picture of this group of people."
"According to our investigation, three key personnel have been identified: Liu Ying, Wang Chengdong, and Xu Guibing. It is unclear whether these are their real names."
"In addition, there are about ten other suspects who came into contact with the three, but these people cannot be identified at the moment."
Of the three, the first two acted together, while the latter acted alone.
"As for the other party's specific actions and what mission they are carrying out, we do not know yet."
At this point, Yu Zecheng glanced at Hao Pingchuan and said, "Captain Hao, could you tell me about this group of people?"
Hao Pingchuan nodded immediately, then his rough voice rang out, "The information we received is that these three people sneaked in from Hong Kong, and with the help of certain people, they obtained letters of introduction. They passed through multiple checks along the way and finally arrived in Beijing."
“We investigated the address on the letter of introduction and found that the factory at that address does exist. According to the local factory manager, three letters of introduction were indeed issued, but they were all for purchasing in the town and no one was sent to Beijing.”
"Our colleagues in Shanghai are still following up on this matter."
After Hao Pingchuan finished speaking, Yu Zecheng continued, "We started our investigation into the three of them in Shanghai, but we're not sure if there are any other people involved."
“We’re not even sure if they’ve spotted us yet.”
"If the other party is in the mindset of continuing the mission even after being discovered, that would be the worst outcome."
After Yu Zecheng finished speaking, Director Luo nodded and then looked at the middle-aged man on his right, "Zhang Chao, tell me the situation."
The middle-aged man nodded, then looked at Yu Zecheng and the others opposite him, "Director Yu, Captain Hao."
"I am Zhang Chao from the detachment."
After giving a brief introduction, Zhang Chao said, "This time we arrested a group of train thieves."
“We had been keeping an eye on this group before the Lunar New Year. They often appeared on trains to commit crimes.”
"This group is different from other lone thieves. They have a division of labor, a purpose, and a plan. Their targets are not only passengers on the train, but also some of the goods on the train."
“The ‘Nine Fingers’ we arrested this time was one of the key members of the gang.”
"I just didn't expect that the other party would be involved in other missions as well."
At this point, Zhang Chao was speechless.
Who would have thought that arresting a theft gang by his subordinates would lead to such a big case?
Yu Zecheng didn't react much to this. He often traveled for work and knew the situation on the train.
Last time I went to Chang'an, I saw two pickpockets on the bus. In the end, my companions caught them and handed them over to the local police station.
However, he also knew that the trains were now running slowly, making it easier for pickpockets to climb, and catching them wouldn't be easy.
The key point is that the three of them quickly disappeared while making a commotion on the train, leaving no trace.
To find it again, we would have to conduct a city-wide search.
Just as the meeting was in progress, there was a knock on the door of the conference room. A person got up, walked to the door, opened it, and saw a serious-looking young man standing in the doorway.
Zhang Chao immediately stood up when he saw the person who came in. "Director Luo, it's Jiang Han."
Director Luo nodded, and Zhang Chao beckoned to the young man, who immediately came over.
"Captain, Nine Fingers has something to report."
Jiang Han didn't have time to say much before he spoke directly, "According to what they told us, they helped to get a batch of cephalosporin antibiotics."
"But this guy can't change his ways; he secretly kept two boxes. We had them tested, and we found..."
"We discovered that the pills inside were not anti-inflammatory drugs at all, but rather a type of medication we had used before, called anti-fatigue pills."
"what?"
Yu Zecheng, Hao Pingchuan, and others immediately stood up from their seats.
They know all too well what these anti-fatigue tablets are.
It was circulated in China for a period of time in the early years because it had the effect of refreshing the mind, but its addictive properties were soon discovered and it was quickly stopped.
Domestically, a strong crackdown was launched, and the virus disappeared for a time.
Who knew it would reappear now?
Where is it now?
Director Luo asked anxiously, and Jiang Han shook his head, "After they handed the things over to the gang leader, Weasel, we don't know what happened next."
"By the way, our comrade said that this medicine is different from the previous one; it's cleaner and purer in color."
Jiang Han continued speaking, and everyone present realized the seriousness of the matter.
That thing was deliberately thrown out by the Japanese back then, and it harmed a lot of people.
The people who want to quit are those who have experienced how difficult it is.
If this were accidentally consumed by someone, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Immediately, Director Luo strode out of the room and headed straight to his office.
Yu Zecheng and his men came up to Jiang Han and asked him about the situation.
"Where is that weasel? Any news?"
Jiang Han shook his head. "We must have alerted them last time. They're probably hiding now."
Zhang Chao took a deep breath. "Jiang Han, you and Huang Tao each take a group of people to set up surveillance in the places they frequent, and also investigate their families. Be quick."
"Yes!"
Jiang Han immediately ran out, and at this moment Director Luo also came over and stood aside, saying seriously, "The higher-ups have understood the situation and given instructions."
"Now that things have already happened, we need to resolve them as soon as possible. We can't wait for the other side to take action and cause damage before we take action."
"Everything must prioritize the interests of the people, and everything must prioritize the goal of protection."
Upon hearing this, Yu Zecheng quickly added, "I think the other side must be getting impatient. They must have come here with a death wish, just to cause trouble."
"The target is likely our talent, or even our key focus."
At this point, Director Luo picked up the documents on the table and said, "The higher-ups have made it clear that we should not hesitate, not be afraid of alarming the other side, arrest what needs to be arrested, and seize what needs to be seized. Is that clear?"
Yu Zecheng, Hao Pingchuan, and the others immediately nodded.
Although Yu Zecheng still wanted to take the opportunity to expose more cancerous tumors, he was also aware of his superiors' considerations.
These malignant tumors are certainly hateful, but protecting the mission objective and preventing the enemy from succeeding is even more important.
In comparison, those rats hiding in the shadows can minimize the impact as long as they remain vigilant.
On the contrary, any mishap to the goal is a loss for the revolution.
Furthermore, the fact that they are sitting here indicates the intention of their superiors.
This matter will be under the complete control of the General Administration; they will only be responsible for arresting people and conducting investigations.
Seeing that everyone understood, Director Luo stood up and announced the order.
Wow
Everyone stood up immediately, their expressions turning serious.
"Director Yu, you are in charge of arresting those three people. You must find them as soon as possible."
"Yes!"
Yu Zecheng responded loudly.
"Captain Zhang, you are responsible for arresting all those connected to this case. Don't let a single one escape." "Yes, sir!"
“All groups, offices, sub-district offices, and security departments will participate in the operation to ensure that all suspects are brought to justice.”
"Remember, the main objective of this operation is to nip the danger in the bud. Act immediately."
"Yes!"
The meeting lasted less than half an hour before the action began.
After everyone left the conference room, Hao Pingchuan fell behind, then took out a cloth bag from his bag and approached Director Luo with a grin, "Old Luo, this is what Bai Ling asked me to bring. She said you like this kind of thing."
Seeing that the people behind him had already left, Director Luo hurriedly took the cloth bag and said with a serious expression, "Comrade Hao Pingchuan, this is working time, please be mindful of your conduct."
Hao Pingchuan was taken aback, then frowned and said, "Give me back my things, or I won't give them back."
"Things? What things? Did you give them to me?"
"You, you old rascal, just you wait, I'll come to your house and eat you out of house and home."
Hao Pingchuan said fiercely, and then Duo Ye's voice came from behind him, "Then you'll have to eat for a few more days."
"Otherwise, an ordinary stomach wouldn't have been able to eat him out of house and home."
Hao Pingchuan turned to look at Master Duo and said, "Hey, you haven't retired yet? How old are you?"
Uncle Duo looked at him with resentment, "Old Hao, when are you going to change your petty ways? You're like a donkey that you can't stand being talked about. You should just stay here and go back to Shanghai."
Hao Pingchuan laughed heartily, "That's none of your business, I have a great personality."
"Tch, only Old Zheng doesn't mind. If it were me, I would have been sweeping the streets long ago."
"Me sweeping the streets? What about you?"
"Of course, I'm patrolling the streets."
After saying that, the two of them suddenly laughed and then reached out and hugged each other tightly.
"Master Duo, you must live to be a hundred years old!"
"Don't worry, I can't die before you."
"Go to hell!"
The two men slapped each other hard, and Director Luo said from the side, "Alright, hurry up and carry out your mission, stop getting in the way."
"If you fail to complete the mission, you two will be in big trouble."
The two smiled, then stood at attention and saluted in unison, "Yes, sir!"
After the two left, Director Luo returned to his office, opened the cloth bag, and looked at the neatly stacked pile of cigarettes inside: Zhonghua, Panda, Peony, and Daqianmen.
Familiar faces appeared before my eyes, and a smile of relief appeared on my face.
But the smile quickly vanished when he thought about the task at hand.
'That son of a bitch, he's still got his hands on that thieving scheme.'
Sijiu City, East of the city.
Since the city of Beijing underwent a period of rectification, people with questionable backgrounds or tainted records have all been concentrated here.
Similarly, this place can also become a gathering place for all sorts of people.
Although the neighborhood committee has strengthened its management and patrol teams frequently pass by on the streets, unsavory things still happen in secret.
Deep inside the alley, in a house, a middle-aged man of short stature was looking at two identity documents with a solemn expression.
The two people sitting opposite him didn't look so serious; instead, they started picking and choosing the dishes on the table.
"Hey, Lao Sun, have you been living this kind of life here all these years?"
The person on the left is wearing coarse cloth clothes, with a red rope tied around his chest and a bullet casing hanging from it.
The man on the right laughed as well, saying, "It seems Old Sun has suffered a lot over the years."
The middle-aged man snorted coldly, "Why have I suffered here all these years? Isn't it all your fault?"
After Lao Sun finished speaking, he put down the certificate in his hand. These two were brothers from the previous mountain stronghold who had left, but he chose to stay.
Unfortunately, all these years have passed without any hope. I thought the other person was gone, but unexpectedly they appeared in front of me.
The man on the left took a piece of paper out of his pocket and placed it on the table. “Old Sun, you’ve suffered a lot over the years, but the commander hasn’t forgotten you.”
"This is your letter of appointment, a copy. The original has already been put in the file."
After saying that, Old Sun picked up the paper on the table and saw that the letter of appointment began with the words "appointment letter".
Then came his real name, Sun Gui, followed by the six characters 'Director of the Autonomous Government,' and he slammed the document on the table, saying, 'I've lived here incognito, and this is all I get?'
After saying that, he crossed his arms and looked disdainful.
Hearing Lao Sun say this, the man on the right picked up the peanuts on the table and snorted, "Lao Sun, don't be ungrateful. We're still just team leaders. This trip will only get us a section chief position. We'll have to wait until we get back to realize our promises."
"I just don't know if I'll be able to go back."
Old Sun snorted coldly and then said, "Speak, what do you want?"
"The premise is clear: you guys handle the physical work yourselves; I'll just provide the information."
The two exchanged a glance, then nodded. "Okay, we'll do it ourselves."
The man on the left asked at the opportune moment, "We need some tools."
"No."
Old Sun answered crisply and then explained, "Don't be fooled by the number of guns here; the management is strict, and you can't possibly get a gun if you want one."
The man on the right scoffed, "How can we manage without a gun?"
"Are you suggesting we use chopsticks?"
Old Sun snorted coldly, "That's your own business."
He said no more after that.
A murderous glint flashed in the eyes of the person on the right, but the person on the left immediately stopped him with a wink.
"In this way, we can solve the weapons problem ourselves, but we need your channel to transmit information."
Old Sun hesitated for a moment, because he needed to turn on the radio to transmit the message.
In order to keep his identity secret over the years, he has kept his radio in a hidden place and only turns it on in emergencies.
Seeing the two people in front of him, Lao Sun knew that if he objected, they wouldn't be polite to him.
"Row."
Seeing that Lao Sun had agreed, the two nodded in satisfaction.
Who is your target this time?
Old Sun suddenly spoke up and asked. Upon hearing this, the person on the left took out a notebook from his bag, flipped through it for a while, and revealed a photo cut out from a newspaper. "That's him."
Old Sun craned his neck and glanced at him. "Him?"
"Do you...do you know how many people are around him?"
"Are you all out of your minds?"
The two men burst into laughter. "Of course we know who he is, otherwise why would we be needed?"
"And this time we were well prepared."
Then I saw the person on the right take a cardboard box out of their backpack.
Old Sun looked at it curiously; why did this packaging box look exactly like the cephalosporin box?
However, he knew that these people wouldn't speak without reason.
Then they saw the person on the right take out a pill from inside and hand it to Old Sun, saying, "Try this, it's fresh."
"The higher-ups really went to great lengths for this mission."
Old Sun took it with surprise and asked, "What is this?"
The person on the right said with a grin, "This is a good thing, something that will make you feel like you're in heaven."
Upon hearing this, Old Sun instinctively threw the pills on the table.
In my mind, anything associated with these words is not a good thing.
"You really don't know what's good for you."
“Such high-end products would cost a hundred dollars apiece abroad, which is equivalent to two or three months’ salary for you.”
After speaking, the person on the right carefully put the pill back in its original place.
