Chapter 58: Huamei Arrested
"Three alumni! Pretty laid back."
Ning Caiwei greeted Sun Ruize and the other two politely.
"Hello, Senior Sister Ning! Our Captain Liu has been busy lately."
Sun Ruize and the other two felt disrespected and responded quickly.
Of course, these three people were left alone except for the captain Liu Zhengxiong. It was because of Xiang Chu's rapid success that they were depressed and unable to get rid of their feelings, so they were chatting here.
Ning Caiwei followed Xiang Chu to the water room and asked as they walked:
"Have you received your letter of appointment, new certificate, and lieutenant's epaulettes?"
"got it!"
Xiang Chu nodded and handed all three items to her.
"really not bad!"
Ning Caiwei exclaimed in admiration.
She looked at them carefully, put the three items and the car keys into his pocket, and whispered:
"I'm going to stay at my uncle's house tonight and help my aunt prepare the food. You can drive home by yourself after get off work. Remember to get to my uncle's house early tomorrow. We will cook together and don't let my uncle and aunt be busy."
"understand!"
Xiang Chu nodded heavily and paused.
"By the way! What gift should I buy?"
Ning Caiwei shook her head and said, "No need! You've already given me so many gifts."
Xiang Chu said anxiously: "This is my first time going to my uncle's house, how can I go empty-handed?"
Ning Caiwei couldn't help but laugh, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Why don't you take two more gold bars? They probably won't mind."
"Look at what you said. Who would dislike gold bars?"
Xiang Chu smiled and unknowingly arrived at the water room and started to fetch water.
At this time, Ning Qiang rushed out of the team office and shouted excitedly:
"Captain! I just received a notice from above that we will have holidays tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, for a total of three days off."
"Ah?! Three days."
Xiang Chu and Ning Caiwei looked at each other and were naturally in a very happy mood.
Xiang Chu ordered: "Ning Qiang! We still have a mission. Those who live near their homes can go home for three days. Those who can't go home will have two people to keep an eye on them every day. Please review the shift schedule for me later."
Xiang Chu was very disappointed when he heard that he was going to follow him, and added,
"Tell my brothers that if you don't perform well in the next few days, you don't have to follow me to the first team."
"understand!"
Ning Qiang loudly accepted the order, turned around and ran into the office.
Ning Caiwei smiled and said, "You are really something. You even know how to threaten others. By the way, who are you following?"
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Lin Haifeng! The director said that we can't arrest him without solid evidence, so we can only keep an eye on him for now."
"The Japanese spy has confessed to him, but there is still no solid evidence?"
Ning Caiwei was speechless and said indignantly,
"Officials protect each other! If this continues, the White Party will be doomed."
"Yeah! It's definitely over."
Xiang Chu echoed, smiling brightly.
From Ning Caiwei's tone, he felt that she was a lesbian.
"I'm leaving! See you tomorrow."
Ning Caiwei picked up the thermos, looked at him affectionately, and turned away.
"See you tomorrow!"
Xiang Chu said softly.
He watched her graceful figure disappear in the corridor before walking into the third team office.
Ning Qiang handed him a piece of paper and said with a smile: "Captain! Except for Lu Xiong, Mi Shengqi, Bao Ge, and Ye Shian who live nearby and can rush back, none of us will go back."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Very good! There are six people left, so two people are on duty for one day. You and Lin Mao should quickly replace Lu Xiong and Bao Ge. Bao Ge said that she wants to go back to Shanghai to find a partner and get married."
"Yes!"
Ning Qiang hurriedly accepted the order.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is second only to the Spring Festival, and it is the day when families reunite.
Upon hearing that there would be a three-day holiday, all departments competed to take the holiday a little earlier.
Xiang Chu was not in a hurry as there was still some time, so he went to the interrogation department and wanted to go to the interrogation room to see the situation of the Japanese spy Imai Matsumi.
The officer on duty at the interrogation department guarding the basement was Qi Gui, who smiled bitterly and said:
"Captain Xiang! Our new section chief has not even arrived in Nanjing yet, but he has already given us an order that no one is allowed to go to the interrogation room to contact the Japanese spies without a warrant from the director."
"Who are these people?!"
Xiang Chu shook his head and had to turn around and leave.
This Feng Shurong is really not a good person.
It was time to get off work, so he walked straight out of the compound and headed straight for Zhang's Hunan Restaurant.
To save trouble, he packed up a few dishes from Zhangji Hunan Restaurant and drove home.
He has gotten used to spending time with Ning Caiwei these days, and he feels something is missing when she is not at home.
After eating alone, he compiled the photos of the two code books into a book to enrich his memory.
Then he turned on the radio and turned the knob frequently, alternating between listening to the Japanese spy radio station and the White Party radio station.
At ten o'clock in the evening, he received a message in plain text between two White Party radio stations:
"Great news! The Red Party's 'Huamei' has been arrested and is temporarily detained at No. 9 Wenhua Road. Send a car to transfer him immediately."
Xiang Chu was shocked. To him, "Hua Mei" was 100% sure to be Ning Caiwei.
He didn't have Ning Changde's home phone number, so he couldn't confirm the authenticity of the information.
Even if it wasn't Ning Caiwei, her comrade "Huamei" in the Military Intelligence Department couldn't fall into the hands of the enemy.
In a hurry, he immediately turned off the radio, changed his clothes as quickly as possible, took two Browning pistols loaded with bullets and five magazines, picked up the box for the sniper rifle, and walked out of the room.
"Boom!"
A loud thunder exploded over the city.
The storm came unexpectedly.
"Caiwei! Wait for me, don't commit suicide."
Xiang Chu cried out inwardly, fearing that Ning Caiwei would commit suicide out of fear of being humiliated.
He drove his Buick at a very fast speed towards No. 9 Wenhua Road.
At No. 9 Wenhua Road, the single two-story villa was brightly lit.
Because of the sudden heavy rain, all the agents from the Party Affairs Office retreated to the living room.
In the living room, 10 secret agents from the Party Affairs Office were looking jokingly at the fat man in black who was tied up like a dumpling on the floor.
"Nighthawk" sat on the sofa with a cigarette in his mouth, looking at the tied man in black with a gloomy face.
The leading Party Affairs Department agent laughed sinisterly and said, "'Nighthawk'! Are you sure that Liu Zhengxiong is the Red Party underground member 'Huamei' hiding in the Military Intelligence Department?"
"Nighthawk" nodded and said, "Deputy Section Chief Deng, it is absolutely correct! Didn't Captain Luo say it? According to the internal intelligence of the Red Party, the person who came to assassinate me this time is the "Thrush" who is determined to avenge the "Cuckoo".
Moreover, I have a very deep impression of the back of this 'Thrush', and I have seen him and 'Cuckoo' meeting. If you really don't believe me, you can take him back to the department and torture him severely. Why are you wasting your time here with me?"
Deputy Captain Deng said angrily, "Do you think I don't want to leave? We have caught this big fish that will make the Military Intelligence Department lose face. I wish I could report it to the section chief and the director immediately and leave as soon as the car arrives."
"Nighthawk" pointed at the radio and said with a smile: "For safety reasons, I suggest you use the radio to report to the higher-ups first. Just say that the person you captured is a captain named Liu Zhengxiong from the Military Intelligence Department."
"Right!"
Deputy Captain Deng nodded and pointed at the telegraph operator and said,
"Send a clear message again, tell the family who was caught, and have the car come quickly."
"Yes!"
The telegraph operator hurriedly received the order.
