Espionage: I became sworn brothers with Zheng Yaoxian at the beginning, and became the Seventh Broth

Chapter 148 Not Yet Complete Success

When people mention Nanjing, their first impression is that it is the ancient capital of six dynasties.

The Qinhuai River will definitely come to mind next.

Xiaoxiang Clubhouse.

As soon as night fell, the sounds of traditional Chinese string and wind instruments filled a small red building on the banks of the Qinhuai River.

The intermittent bursts of laughter and cheerful chatter added a unique charm to this place.

At a tea stall not far from the restaurant, Ye Shaohong, dressed in a long robe, was flipping through a newspaper while glancing at the brothel in front of him.

A person is walking towards us from a distance.

It was Li Yunlong.

"Team leader, everything is arranged." "For this operation, we have two teams, totaling more than sixty people."

"Besides the twenty people who set up checkpoints at the four key intersections, ten of the remaining forty-odd people have already entered the Xiaoxiang Guild Hall ahead of time."

"Of the remaining thirty men, I left five around the perimeter of the restaurant and five in the waterway, while the remaining ten are ready to charge in at any moment."

"Just give the order..."

A ruthless look appeared on Li Yunlong's face, clearly indicating that he was ready to act at any moment.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's take action."

"We absolutely cannot let those two Japanese spies you tracked down escape."

Ye Shaohong didn't look at Li Yunlong. He shook the newspaper in his hand and responded softly.

As soon as Ye Shaohong finished speaking, Li Yunlong immediately walked out of the tea stall. As he walked towards Xiaoxiang Club, he kept gesturing to his surroundings.

Just as the guards in front of the Xiaoxiang Guild Hall noticed something and were about to stop him, more than ten figures appeared on the streets on both sides of the brothel.

They were all holding Browning M1900 pistols.

As soon as these people appeared, they immediately raised their guns and aimed them at the guards in front of the Xiaoxiang Guild Hall. The sight of those dark gun muzzles immediately terrified the four guards, turning their faces pale.

"Gentlemen, heroes, this is a legitimate business, you can't do anything reckless here."

"Pah! Brothels and guild halls can be called legitimate businesses? Get out of the way, the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics is arresting people. Anyone who obstructs will be shot dead for treason."

Although the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics underwent a merger and reorganization this time, and the Special Service Department expanded its recruitment, absorbing many local military personnel, after more than ten days, these newly joined members had already thoroughly grasped the power and influence of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

They also learned about the procedures for capturing spies.

Ye Shaohong's field agents will not tolerate these gangsters who spend their lives on the streets and only know how to bully ordinary people.

He opened his mouth to respond while simultaneously raising his leg to kick.

He pressed the pistol directly against the men's foreheads, scaring them so much that their faces turned pale and they trembled with fear.

"Stop wasting time here, come with me inside to arrest them!"

Just then, Li Yunlong arrived at the entrance of the brothel. He first glared fiercely at his subordinates, then waved his hand and rushed into the brothel.

"Bang bang bang!"

After three gunshots rang out in succession, the sounds of bamboo and wind instruments, women's moans, and men's shouts inside the Xiaoxiang Guild Hall finally stopped.

Then Ye Shaohong saw that in a dark alley not far from him, the side window on the second floor of the Xiaoxiang Club opened, and a ragged man jumped out.

It's unclear whether this is a surprised guest or a Japanese spy they're trying to capture.

But they all miscalculated.

Before the man's hands and feet even touched the ground, two men rushed out from the dark corner, each holding a gun, and pressed it directly against the man's forehead.

Then two more people came out, took the man's arms, and led him back into the dark corner.

Ye Shaohong saw this and nodded secretly.

He turned his gaze back to the entrance of the Xiaoxiang Club. Sure enough, after a brief burst of gunfire, several panicked figures rushed out.

There are men and women, old and young.

They all had one thing in common: they weren't wearing many clothes. When stopped outside, their first instinct was to cover their faces before struggling to run away.

But all that awaited them was the dark muzzle of a gun.

These people could only stop in their tracks and gather together in a panic and helplessness.

Ye Shaohong didn't intend to let these people off easily, after all, he couldn't guarantee that there might be Japanese spies among them.

Therefore, the best option is to take them all back with you.

After an interrogation.

If there is no clear evidence of a crime, have the family bring money to ransom the person. Although it may not be much, it can still provide some benefits for the subordinates.

As for those doubts that cannot be clearly explained, all I can do is apologize to them.

Even if you pay, you can't get out.

He would most likely die in the underground cell of the Bureau of Statistics. The commotion outside the clubhouse didn't last long; gunshots rang out from inside.

When the gunfire stopped, an operations agent with blood on his hands ran out of the Xiaoxiang Club and came to Ye Shaohong's side.

"Team leader, we've caught the guy."

“A man and a woman, both of them were tough guys. During the arrest, they even injured three of us.”

This result was exactly what Ye Shaohong had expected, and he was not surprised at all. After listening to the field operative recount the situation inside, Ye Shaohong stood up.

Holding the newspaper he hadn't finished reading, he strode towards the Xiaoxiang Guild Hall.

But before he even reached the entrance of the Xiaoxiang Guild Hall, an explosion suddenly came from the bungalow in the backyard of the Xiaoxiang Guild Hall.

Then came the piercing wails and screams.

"Damn it!" "Something still happened."

Although Ye Shaohong didn't know what had happened inside, he had a bad feeling.

really.

As soon as he entered the Xiaoxiang Guild Hall, he saw Li Yunlong, who was covered in dust and dirt, with six field agents following behind him.

The six men were escorting a man and a woman, both of whom were disheveled.

Li Yunlong was cursing them loudly, and he didn't even see Ye Shaohong coming over.

It wasn't until Ye Shaohong walked up to Li Yunlong and several field agents greeted him, calling him "team leader," that Li Yunlong stopped his angry roar of hitting and cursing.

"what happened?"

"Haven't we already caught them? Why is there such a commotion?" As he spoke, Ye Shaohong also looked at the disheveled woman. Looking at her slender eyebrows and undeniable charm, Ye Shaohong nodded.

That's right.

This is the woman he saw yesterday at the execution ground in Yuhuatai.

The woman whose face immediately showed a sense of shared sorrow upon seeing Dongfang Hui.

"Team leader, it's my fault, I was careless."

"After capturing these two Japanese spies, I immediately followed the usual procedure and arranged for people to search their rooms to see if we could find a codebook or a radio."

"The two men were still struggling and resisting when suddenly an explosion came from the kitchen downstairs. When I heard the sound and rushed over with my men, we found that one of our brothers was dead. There was also a hidden compartment in the kitchen cabinet, where the radio and codebook were destroyed."
