Chapter 693: Cleaning Up the Remaining Troubles
After hearing this, Deputy Minister Yan nodded slightly: "If you think about it carefully, it is actually quite cost-effective. It only costs some materials. Not only can we successfully complete various tasks, but what is more valuable is that it greatly reduces the casualties of our comrades. The country is still in a difficult situation. Otherwise, if all the cadres and soldiers of our army take medicinal baths, the strength of our troops will be improved several times. Comrade Lin Yu has made an indelible contribution."
Xiong Qingshan said in a muffled voice: "Deputy Minister Yan, Secretary Lin's great contributions are obvious to all. But today, Deputy Secretary Xing ignored the facts and put a accusation on our Secretary Lin. This is really disheartening."
Qin Ming quickly said, "Old Bear, please stop talking."
Deputy Minister Yan smiled and waved his hand: "Deputy Director Xiong is right. Some of our leading cadres do always rely on their seniority and put on airs. Our relevant departments have the responsibility to criticize and warn comrades whose thinking has slipped."
In fact, the reason why Deputy Minister Yan showed no mercy to Deputy Secretary Xing and drove him out today was mainly because he had recently received reports from his subordinates that several children of leading cadres had begun to resell grain and meat on the black market. After tracing and investigation, it was found that these grains and meats were actually the materials provided to the city by Lin Yu at the national allocation price, and the second son of Deputy Secretary Xing was suspected of being involved. Thousands of tons of grain and more than ten tons of meat were sold from him alone. It was obvious that these grains and meats were approved by Deputy Secretary Xing for his second son by using his power.
If today's missing child case had not had such a significant impact, especially with the feudal Taoist sects and enemy spies behind it, it would have been impossible for Vice Minister Yan to personally bring people here to deal with it.
Originally, the comrades below had basically obtained evidence of the illegal and criminal activities of the children of those leading cadres, and had been preparing to close the net in recent days. With the country now facing an extremely tight food situation, these guys dared to resell grain and meat at will. They must be punished as a warning to others.
When Deputy Minister Yan saw Deputy Secretary Xing today, he felt a little annoyed. Besides, this guy started to put labels on Lin Yu, so how could he possibly give face to this guy?
After hearing what Deputy Minister Yan said, Qin Ming and others looked at each other and no one spoke again. Everyone continued to eat quietly and quickly. One has to admit that people nowadays have a really big appetite. The two dishes and one soup in the aluminum pot were cleaned up thoroughly, and even the soup at the bottom of the pot was wiped clean with the steamed buns. You have to know that this was the meal that He Yuzhu prepared for them according to the appetite of six people, but in the end it was all cleaned up.
After eating and drinking, Qin Ming took out a pack of Camel cigarettes and passed them around. Deputy Minister Yan lit a cigarette, took a puff and said seriously, "Director Qin, we have to rely on your security team to go into the mountains tonight."
Qin Ming nodded solemnly: "Deputy Minister Yan, don't worry. The team members we sent out to investigate have returned to report before dinner. The six enemy spies in the mountains did not notice anything unusual in Machikou Village. Fortunately, no shots were fired during the arrest, otherwise it would have alarmed those guys in the mountains."
Deputy Minister Yan looked at his watch and said, "It's 7:15 now. Everyone just finished their meal, so let's take a break. The action team will set off at 8 o'clock."
Qin Ming, Xiong Qingshan, and Zhang Shangwu immediately agreed solemnly. Bai Wu, who was standing by, was a little anxious and quickly said, "Deputy Minister Yan, can our comrades from the Criminal Investigation Department of the Municipal Bureau follow the action team into the mountains?"
Deputy Minister Yan waved his hand and said, "Director Bai, if it was during the day, I might agree to let you go into the mountains together, but forget it at night. After all, the comrades of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Municipal Bureau are much inferior to the action team in terms of physical strength and reaction ability. You should work with the comrades of the Security Department's Public Security Section and the Guard Section to be responsible for the security work of Machikou Village. You must not let the villagers here sneak into the mountains and tip off. We can't guarantee that the enemy spies will not plant spies among the villagers. If we hadn't interrogated all the captured criminals one by one this afternoon, how could we have imagined that there was a big fish among those captured guys?"
The big fish mentioned by Vice Minister Yan is that among those arrested guys, there is actually a BMJ colonel spy hiding.
This afternoon, when those arrested guys were interrogated one by one, in addition to comrades from relevant departments and a comrade from the Criminal Investigation Department of the Municipal Bureau, there was also a member of the action team who was specifically responsible for interrogation.
These members of the action team had been personally instructed by Zhou Hong and Zhou Huang. Although these people had no skills and it was impossible for them to search the souls of criminals, Zhou Hong and Zhou Huang taught them a set of techniques similar to "breaking bones and tendons", which were definitely enough to deal with ordinary people.
The interrogation this afternoon did not go smoothly at the beginning. Faced with questions from comrades from relevant departments, these guys either responded casually or said nothing.
So these members of the action team asked these guys to try the feeling of "breaking bones and tendons". As a result, in less than ten minutes, the guys who were still resisting stubbornly immediately spilled the beans and honestly confessed everything they knew.
It was also from an inconspicuous guy that he learned that the other party was actually Colonel BMJ. He was hiding in Ma Youlu's team. In addition to supervising Ma Youlu and Liang Honghua, the two captains and deputy captains, he also had a more important task, which was to ensure the safety of the secret base in the mountains and the supply of urgently needed daily necessities.
According to this guy's account, there is a secret base of BMJ in a cave less than four miles away from Machikou Village. There are still three BJ agents guarding it. The three criminals who kidnapped children who were not caught by the action team today are actually BMJ agents. They just mixed in Ma Youlu's team and took the opportunity to deliver daily necessities to the secret base in the mountains. Now these three agents have also gone to the secret base with some supplies.
After consulting with Vice Minister Yan, Qin Ming immediately ordered two members of the action team to follow the route map given by the BMJ spy and go to the secret base for investigation.
According to the report from the action team members, the six BMJ agents are currently in the secret base. In order to completely eliminate these enemy agents, Deputy Minister Yan and Qin Ming and others discussed and decided to take action tonight.
