Chapter 670 Yuan Ye in the Mountain City (3)
Chu Yuntian's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down. All three of them showed expressions of surprise and delight. Chu Yuntian asked with joy:
"What did he confess to?"
Yuan Ye explained the situation, and the three became even more excited upon hearing how important the information revealed by the Japanese spy was. Chu Yuntian immediately asked:
"Detective Xiao, what are you planning to do next?"
He knew that Yuan Ye must have a plan.
Yuan Ye smiled and said:
"Then they'll definitely arrest them immediately."
He explained his plan and then assigned tasks: Yue Haishan led his men to the grocery store to arrest Wu Tianming, while he and Li Hong led their men to ambush him near the Dead Letter.
He glanced at his watch; it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. The grocery store should still be open. He instructed Yue Haishan to make sure to capture him alive. He and Li Hong went to scout out the area near the dead mailbox and would interrogate Wu Tianming when he returned.
Yue Haishan immediately returned to the headquarters, gathered seven or eight people, discussed the arrest plan, and then set off in three cars. The cars sped out of the headquarters gate and headed towards Yucai School.
More than ten minutes later, they arrived near Sun's General Store and stopped about a hundred meters away. Yue Haishan and his men got out of the car and walked towards the store. When they were almost at the store entrance, Yue Haishan told the others to stop. He and one of his team members went into the store. Yue Haishan was dressed as a businessman, while the team member was dressed as a shop assistant. After entering the store, Yue Haishan saw Sun Defeng sitting behind the counter, fiddling with an abacus, probably doing accounts.
Sun Defeng saw the two enter, glanced at Yue Haishan, then stood up and said:
"Would you two like something?"
Yue Haishan thought to himself, "It's difficult to catch him behind the counter; I need to lure him out." So he smiled and said:
"Shopkeeper, I'm planning to open a small restaurant on the main street and I need some pots, pans, and utensils. Could you recommend some to me? If it's cheap, I'll buy them from you."
Sun Defeng, without suspecting anything, said:
"Great! The things I have here are cheap and of good quality, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
After saying that, he walked out from behind the counter and came to Yue Haishan. Yue Haishan winked at the team members next to him and then pounced on Sun Defeng. Sun Defeng was shocked and turned to run back into the store, but it was too late. Yue Haishan grabbed him by the collar first, and the team members quickly pounced on him, grabbing him around the waist. The two of them together threw him to the ground. At this moment, the team members hiding outside the door also heard the commotion and rushed in with their guns. Sun Defeng was pinned to the ground and tried to struggle desperately, but he was completely unable to move.
He let out a desperate wail, not knowing what had happened, how he had been exposed, and why he hadn't even had a chance to commit suicide. A poison pill was sewn into his collar, and his head was being held firmly to the ground, making it impossible for him to bite it. He cried out in despair:
"Why are you arresting me? I haven't broken any laws. Who are you people?"
Chu Yuntian sneered:
“Sun Defeng, you used to be called Wu Tianming, but your real name is Moriki Takeo, and your true identity is a Japanese spy. I think I’m right!”
Forest Dog's face turned deathly pale. How could this person know so much about him? Something must have happened to the Silver Fox Group. He also knew who these people were; they were undoubtedly Kuomintang agents.
He stopped talking. Yue Haishan had his coat removed and his body searched. No weapons were found on him, but a pistol and a grenade were found in the counter. Nothing else was found in the store.
Having learned from his previous experience of being injured while capturing a Japanese spy at the market, Yue Haishan was secretly relieved that he had lured the spy out of the counter. Otherwise, if he had rushed into the counter to capture him, the spy might have had the opportunity to detonate a grenade, resulting in not only failing to capture him alive but also in injuries to himself.
As per Detective Xiao's instructions, the mission was successfully completed. Yue Haishan ordered the store door to be closed, and the bound and gagged Senmu Takeo was put into a car and sped back to the Military Intelligence Bureau headquarters.
Chu Yuntian was overjoyed to see Yue Haishan successfully capture the Japanese spy. He didn't even wait for Yuan Ye to return, so he ordered Yue Haishan to start interrogating Moriki Takeo. He wanted to try it out first, and maybe Moriki Takeo would give in and reveal the mole who provided him with the information, which would give Yuan Ye a surprise.
However, he also instructed Yue Haishan to be careful and not to kill Moriki Takeo.
Just as Yue Haishan and his men set off, Yuan Ye and Li Hong also drove to Yuzhong District. Twenty minutes later, they arrived near the vegetable market and quickly found the big tree at the intersection. Sure enough, they found the small tree hole behind the tree.
Yuan Ye surveyed the surrounding terrain. This intersection was a three-way junction, close to the market. Although there weren't many people around at night, it would definitely be bustling during the day. If Silver Fox blended in with the pedestrians, he wouldn't be easily spotted. Moreover, this intersection led in three directions, making it easy for him to escape.
Yuan Ye led Li Hong along the three directions of the intersection, and already had a plan in mind.
