Chapter 78: Capturing Guan Tianlin

Time flies, and more than two months have passed without me noticing.

The climate in Beijing has also changed subtly, with a warm and pleasant atmosphere gradually spreading, as if whispering that spring has quietly arrived. The air is filled with the breath of new life, as if telling us that the season of revival has arrived.

In the morning, the mist covers the streets like a veil, and at night, the stars dot the sky like paintbrushes. Everything is so beautiful.

In the office, Zhou Weiguo, with excitement on his face, reported the latest tracking situation to Section Chief Liu Liu Zhiye.

"Chief! I have a major discovery!..." His words were full of excitement and anticipation, as if he was holding a key to a new world.

Section Chief Liu Zhiye also appeared to be particularly focused because of this. He listened to Zhou Weiguo's report with his eyes full of desire for the unknown and firm trust.

Upon hearing the news, Section Chief Liu Zhiye showed a delighted expression, "Xiao Zhou! This is really great news!" He exclaimed, "After so much hard work, we can finally catch this cunning old fox."

His tone was full of relief and anticipation, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.

Liu Zhiye excitedly walked around for a few circles, then immediately picked up the phone and dialed Director Yu's office number.

"Hello, Chief! I am Liu Zhiye. I have very important information and need to report it to you in person." He said anxiously.

Director Yu on the other end of the phone seemed to sense Liu Zhiye's nervousness and excitement, and he immediately agreed to his request.

After the call, Liu Zhiye immediately took Zhou Weiguo and the other two to report the situation to Director Yu.

……

Liu Zhiye reported with a serious face: "Guan Tianlin's original name was Guan Jinlin, a member of the Manchu Plain White Banner. After the surrender of the Northeast Guandong Army and the puppet Manchukuo in 1945, he fled back to the interior with his family. In 1946, he was forced to join the Military Control Commission's Sijiucheng Station..."

The atmosphere in the conference room was extremely serious and tense. The director personally listened to the reports of Liu Zhiye and Zhou Weiguo, fearing that he would miss any important details.

As they got closer to their goal step by step, Director Yu's brows gradually relaxed, as if he saw the dawn of victory beckoning to him.

After listening to the report, Director Yu made a decisive decision, "Okay, let's act according to your plan." His voice sounded very firm and full of decisiveness.

Liu Zhiye and Zhou Weiguo immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as if a huge rock pressing on their hearts had finally fallen to the ground.

They were ready to return to their respective posts immediately, silently devoting their efforts and sweat to this plan. Zhou Weiguo was very excited on the way back, and secretly vowed to bring this enemy spy to justice.

At the same time, the streets and alleys of the capital began to get busy in preparation for the arrival of spring. People were laughing and playing in the sun, and children were running and playing on the grass. A vibrant picture was slowly unfolding.

As spring approaches, the capital city becomes more and more beautiful. Flowers bloom in the streets and alleys, trees are green and the air is filled with a fresh scent.

In the forging workshop of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, Guan Tianlin and his apprentices were busy working.

In this busy place, iron sparks fly and sparks flash as workers operate various machines in a tense and orderly manner to create pieces of steel art.

At this time, workshop director Guo, Liu Zhiye, and several security officers came unexpectedly. They walked hurriedly with serious expressions on their faces, as if they had something important to announce.

They walked into the workshop, looked around, searched the crowd with their eyes, and carefully looked at the background of the scene. Then they spread out and slowly took up various advantageous positions.

Director Guo cleared his throat and said to the busy workers: "Everyone, our workshop has an important announcement today. In order to improve our production efficiency and safety, the Security Department will now conduct a production safety inspection. I hope everyone can actively cooperate. Now everyone is off the job."

The workers were puzzled when they heard the news. They thought it was strange. Wasn't it just a month after the safety inspection? Why was there another inspection? It was too frequent.

Guan Tianlin noticed something was wrong. What kind of safety inspection required the head of the security department to personally take action? What was frightening was that the people in front of him were carrying weapons. Out of concern for his own safety, he quietly wanted to temporarily leave the crowd. However, as soon as he reached the door of the workshop, he was blocked by another person, Liu Zhiye.

There was no expression on his face as he stared coldly at Guan Tianlin, his hand unconsciously on the holster, as if he was ready to draw his gun at any time.

Guan Tianlin's heart suddenly tightened, and he felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart. He knew that the situation was not good, and he immediately wanted to turn around and escape.

However, when he turned around, he found that he had been surrounded by people from all directions. Their cold eyes and weapons in their hands made him realize that he had no way to retreat. The scene was very tense for a time, Guan Tianlin's heartbeat accelerated, and the tense atmosphere made it almost impossible for him to breathe.

The people around seemed to emerge from every corner, their eyes full of vigilance and hostility, and the weapons in their hands were even more chilling.

Guan Tianlin was filled with panic. He knew he had to come up with a solution as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Seeing that Guan Tianlin had guessed something, Liu Zhiye stopped keeping him in suspense and stated his purpose directly: "Guan Tianlin, there is something I need your cooperation in investigating."

"Oh! By the way! I should call you Guan Jinpeng. How are you?" Liu Zhiye asked with a smile.

Guan Tianlin turned pale when he heard this. He knew that the truth had been revealed. There must be something wrong. Otherwise, the security department would not have gone to such great lengths to arrest him.

Guan Tianlin looked at Liu Zhiye fiercely, but sighed in his heart: This young man is really good at pretending. He has always looked harmless, and only showed his fangs today.

Liu Zhiye sneered at him and said, "Think about what you will say. We are sure we can catch you because we have solid evidence. If you don't think about yourself, you should think about your child, right?"

Guan Tianlin nodded silently, but his heart was cold: It seems that this time it is really over.

At the same time, the factory logistics department.

With the assistance of Lu Dachuan, the head of the purchasing department, he cleverly lured Aunt Sun into the office, and Zhou Weiguo and others who had been hiding there rushed in and successfully arrested her.

When she saw the security personnel decisively take action to arrest the criminal, Aunt Sun also understood her situation. Regret flashed in her eyes. Thinking about the seriousness of her crime and the possibility that she would not have a good ending, she collapsed to the ground.

Throughout the whole process, except for Guan Dapeng, she and her husband Guan Tianlin were all caught. Afterwards, the two were taken away by the criminal investigation personnel of the Municipal Bureau who quickly arrived.

While handing the two over to relevant personnel, Liu Zhiye decisively arranged for Zhou Weiguo to lead a team to arrest Guan Dapeng immediately.

He personally led the team back to No. 95 Nanluoguxiang.

A group of people quickly poured into the compound, which startled several middle-aged women who were chatting leisurely.

"Oh no! Chief Liu is here to arrest people again! Run!" The aunties screamed and hid themselves in panic.

Liu Zhiye looked at the scene in front of him speechlessly, but he ignored it as it was more important to do his job.

After entering the east wing of the front yard, they forced open the door of Guan's house. Then they conducted a compact and efficient search of Guan's house. The process was smooth, efficient and professional, which made people admire it.

Liu Zhiye ordered in a serious tone: "You must search every corner of the scene carefully, even the most obscure places."

After an intense and professional search, only some cleverly hidden banknotes, jewelry and other small and exquisite items were found at the scene. However, other important evidence was lost without any trace.

Liu Zhiye wondered how this was possible, they were launching a surprise attack, it was impossible for Guan Tianlin to have moved the important things away in advance.

So he began to wander around every corner of the Guan family's house, carefully exploring every room and observing every tiny corner, trying to discover any secrets that might be hidden.
