Chapter 109: Gunshots on a Snowy Night (Part )
Chen Wusheng reported to the newly established Beijing Public Security Bureau and was assigned to work in the Second Internal Branch.
At that time, the Public Security Bureau was very busy. On the one hand, it had to rectify local public security, and on the other hand, it had to do its utmost to wipe out the remaining spy organizations left behind by the reactionaries.
The main task of the Second Branch is anti-espionage. As soon as Director Di Fei saw Chen Wusheng, he told him the situation in detail.
Di Fei introduced that according to the large amount of intelligence currently obtained, many institutions of the Communist Party of China have their own spies and secret service organizations.
This bunch of bastards left behind a large number of undercover personnel in the capital. Although a group of them have begun to surrender themselves, those professional and stubborn elements still need to be investigated and dealt with as the focus.
Since then, Chen Wusheng has devoted himself to the front line of the struggle against enemy spies, fighting bravely and fearlessly, and writing an outstanding resume with his actual actions.
The Red Star "9.12" case is another major case that Chen Wusheng has taken over in recent years.
After receiving the task, he immediately activated his personal connections and intelligence network again, asking them to keep an eye on the abnormal situations of some key people and places, and report immediately if they found any traces of spies.
With the support of artificial masses and numerous intelligence networks, the progress of the work was significantly accelerated, and various abnormal phenomena were reported to Chen Wusheng.
After analysis, he reported the valuable intelligence to Director Di. The Dongcheng Branch cooperated with relevant departments and also arrested a number of enemy spies, but they were all small fry and did not know more advanced intelligence.
On this day, Chen Wusheng’s former subordinate Lao Gao came to him and said that he had discovered an abnormal situation, which was most likely an enemy radio station.
This radio is an important communication device in this era. After the defeat of the Kuomintang, radio stations are even more precious. Ordinary spies cannot be equipped with radio stations. Just like Guan Tianlin, this is obviously a big fish.
Once this kind of equipment appears, it often indicates that there may be a tightly organized high-level spy organization behind it.
Lao Gao's real name is Gao Shulin, and he is a driver for the Beijing Bus Company. Being a driver is a high-income and respectable job in those days, and there are not many people doing this, so the circle is not very large.
Lao Gao is very prestigious among the drivers in Beijing, and he knows most of the transportation companies and repair shops.
Lao Gao had provided intelligence to Chen Wusheng before liberation, and was introduced to the organization by Chen Wusheng, so he could be considered an old underground member. Therefore, the intelligence he provided was absolutely reliable.
According to Lao Gao, his friend Chen Afu works as a driver at the Red Star Automobile Transport Company. Recently, Zhang Yugui, the private manager of the automobile company, introduced a man named Yu Chengyun to the company as his assistant.
But Yu Chengyun is very strange because he can neither drive nor repair a car. He is said to be an assistant but he does nothing all day long.
He either wanders around the company or sits in the office drinking tea, and rarely interacts with other people.
In addition, Chen Afu also discovered that there was an abandoned house in the company compound; no one usually went in and the door was always locked.
But recently, when I pass by, I sometimes hear some dripping sounds inside. When someone gets closer, the sound stops.
He felt that this was not normal, so he told Lao Gao about it.
Lao Gao quickly reported the situation to Chen Wusheng.
After listening to Lao Gao's intelligence, Chen Wusheng thought it was very suspicious. And it was such a coincidence that the Red Star Transportation Company was also among those under surveillance.
Combining the intelligence provided by Guan Tianlin with the latest information, this is most likely closely related to Guan Tianlin's superiors, and may even be a spy organization.
So he immediately reported to his superiors, who instructed Chen Wusheng to continue following Chen Afu's lead and try to find more clues, but never alert the enemy.
At the same time, a comprehensive investigation was launched into the Red Star Transport Company and Zhang Yugui to see if any clues could be found from the outside.
The investigation was carried out in two ways. Zhang Yugui's background was soon found out. His father had served as a representative of the puppet National Congress during the Japanese/Puppet period, and he had served as an inspector in the puppet police station. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he also served as a commissioner of the Kuomintang government, so it is very likely that he still has connections with the Kuomintang.
In addition, Chen Wusheng also received information from Lao Qin, the manager of the Xidan Radio Store, that Zhang Yugui had once asked him to repair a radio station, which further confirmed the fact that they had a radio station.
Chen Afu also reported new progress. Later, Lao Chen paid special attention to this old house. He deliberately parked his car next to the house and pretended to repair the car. After careful observation, he found that there was a big old wooden box next to the small house. This box was actually a secret door that could be used to enter the room. In addition, Chen Afu also found that someone had built a new grape trellis behind the small house and tied an inconspicuous wire along the grape trellis and directly connected it to the top. This looked like a disguised antenna.
There must be something fishy going on with such a mysterious door and disguised antenna, so the superiors decided to arrest Zhang Yugui and Yu Chengyun immediately.
In order to find out the situation inside the transportation company, two female comrades were specially sent into the transportation company under the pretext of hiring a truck for moving, and Chen Wusheng also went in with them as the father of the two.
After in-depth understanding, they mastered the daily situation of Zhang and Yu. Considering the current situation, the superiors decided to seize this opportunity and take advantage of the enemy's lax defense during the holiday to carry out a surprise arrest operation against them.
The entire operation was divided into two groups. One group was led by a leader from the headquarters and went directly to Zhang Yugui's home to launch a capture operation.
Chen Wusheng led the team all the way to prevent Yu Chengyun from destroying the radio code book in desperation. After careful consideration, he chose to arrest Yu Chengyun on his way home.
Today, we launched a capture operation. We thought that with careful planning, we would be able to catch this big fish successfully.
But this Yu Chengyun was extremely alert, and when the scouts tried to capture him, he discovered something was wrong.
He was shocked to find that without realizing it, he was blocked from both sides by people, forming a tight encirclement that caught him off guard.
Instantly, he felt something was wrong and a sense of uneasiness surged in his heart. The bastard quickly took out the pistol he carried with him and fired at the investigator who was blocking the road ahead without hesitation.
Fortunately, the investigator reacted quickly and dodged the fatal shot by leaping to the side.
However, he also gave way to the forward passage. This bastard was quite skilled, and escaped after a few leaps. The criminal investigators behind him couldn't catch up with him, so they immediately shot at him, but unfortunately they failed to hit him.
Chen Wusheng was furious and ordered some people to search his residence. Some people immediately started chasing him, and they followed him into the alley, and then lost the enemy's trace.
Coincidentally, at this time, the arrival of Liu Zhiye and the other man almost caused a misunderstanding.
"Director Chen! I have a general understanding of what happened. If you need any help, please let me know." Liu Zhiye said sincerely.
"Thank you, Comrade Zhiye! There is no need to trouble you for the time being. It seems that we will return empty-handed today..." He said a little frustrated. It was really a failure at the last minute.
Liu Zhiye fell into deep thought, his heart pounding. He carefully reviewed the process of the arrest, as if grinding it in his mind, trying to extract key information from it.
He stared at the complex environment in front of him, took a deep breath, and tried to clear his mind.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, as if a ray of light broke through the darkness, and a new idea emerged in his mind.
"Director Chen! I have an idea. See if it's correct..."
"Oh! Comrade Zhiye! Please tell me what you think." Chen Wusheng was instantly cheered up when he heard it.
He felt that Liu Zhiye was a bystander and might have really discovered the blind spots in his vision that he had not noticed before.
So his eyes were full of anticipation and curiosity, hoping to get new inspiration and discoveries from Liu Zhiye's words.
"Director Liu, look at the alleys around here. They are winding, complicated and ever-changing. If you are not someone who knows this place well, it would be difficult to get in and out quickly."
"Just now, Section Chief Li mentioned that this enemy disappeared without a trace as soon as he entered this alley. According to my judgment, he may not have gone far away, and may be hiding in the shadow of a nearby house..." Liu Zhiye's argument was well-reasoned, and his words revealed his deep thought and unique insights.
After hearing what he said, Director Chen Wusheng's eyes lit up. As expected, a great reputation is not in vain, this Liu Zhiye is indeed quite capable.
