Chapter 57 The Calm Before the Operation



One hour later

Knock knock, the door to the captain's office of the Gaoyang County Special Police Team was knocked on.

"Go in!" Zheng Dao's voice was hoarse and a little tired. He had been investigating the clues for several nights in a row and would soon have the evidence.

"Captain Zheng, breaking news!" The door opened, and a man in his mid-twenties, about 1.9 meters tall and dressed in plain clothes, walked in, holding a piece of paper in his hand, his face very excited.

"Shi An, what news has made you so excited?" Zheng Dao looked up, his eyes were a little red and bloodshot, and he had stubble on his chin.

Upon seeing the person who arrived, his serious expression softened somewhat. Zhao Shi'an had been transferred here from the special forces with him.

Although Shi An is 1.9 meters tall and looks rough, he is meticulous and perceptive. The lieutenant general asked him to come and help him take charge of the arrest operation of the entire Jiang City Green Gang.

However, Zhao Shi'an had been lying low in Jiang City for some time, and with the cooperation of the Jiang City Police Department, he had secretly investigated the distribution of the Green Gang members and had already found out quite a bit.

Zheng Dao himself was in charge of the clandestine transactions in several counties other than Jiang City. Master Zhu was quite a figure, very cunning, and the people he caught seemed to have nothing to do with his Green Gang.

Moreover, a few months ago, he was extremely arrogant and came to Gaoyang County several times, even provoking him in front of him!

Given Zhu Ye's cautious nature, Zheng Dao was certain that he wasn't making baseless accusations, but he couldn't find any connection to the situation. Was he trying to distract his target?

Most likely, it's related to those already arrested. There have been over a dozen arrests so far, but who they are and what their relationship is remains to be investigated.

"Look!" After Zheng Dao asked in confusion, Zhao Shi'an immediately handed over the note.

Zhao Shi'an had just arrived in Gaoyang County from Jiang City and was there to coordinate with Team Leader Zheng.

At the entrance of the SWAT team's headquarters, I ran into Zhang He, a police officer from the Beiqu District Police Station. He rushed over, saying he had important information to give to Captain Zheng. Zhang He is still waiting outside the office!

"It was delivered by Comrade Zhang from the Beiqu Police Station. He's right at the door!"

"Brother Huang, Master Zhu, nephew?" Zheng Dao hesitated, still seeing the words on the note.

Hearing Zhao Shi'an's words, she looked up and glared at him, "Why didn't you say so sooner? Hurry up and invite him in!"

"I was worried you were busy organizing crucial documents. I'll go out and call someone in now."

Zhao Shi'an touched his nose, thinking: You workaholic, when you're busy, who would dare to come in and disturb you? It's just that he happened to come back, and only the special police team allowed him in.

Less than half a minute later, Zhao Shi'an went out and brought the person in.

"Hello, Comrade Zhang!" Zheng Dao immediately stood up, took two steps forward, and shook hands with Zhang He to greet him.

"Hello, Captain Zheng!" Zhang He quickly extended his hand. He was from Gaoyang County and had been a police officer at the Beiqu Police Station for more than ten years.

The police officers and the special police team don't work together much. It's only in the last year that the special police team has been frequently coordinating with the police officers on some matters because they are familiar with the local situation.

"A year ago, when your police station arrested Huang Feng, was it also because of a note? Was it the same handwriting?" Zheng Dao didn't waste any time on pleasantries and went straight to the point.

"Yes, although I wasn't on duty at the time, another colleague thought it was a civil case and filed the note as ordinary information. If you need it, Captain Zheng, I'll bring it back later!"

Zhang recalled for a moment and then said, "Back then, I had just started work the next day, and I had also seen the note. It was the same as this one, written like a child!"

"Okay, thank you for your help! I wanted to ask, was it brought to the police station during the day? Didn't you find out who it was?"

Zheng Dao then asked, "Although the country had installed surveillance cameras on a small scale in 1995, it hasn't been implemented in this county yet. As is customary, do you know who passed by?"

"No, the paper ball was thrown on the ground without making a sound. We patrol the gate from time to time. The time before the New Year, it was wrapped with a stone and thrown against the iron gate with a loud clang."

And just this afternoon, a group of migrant workers from a construction site in the new district caused a disturbance. After dealing with them and getting them gone, I found a note on the ground! I initially thought it was left by one of the workers!

Zhang He walked back and forth in front of the police station several times, but did not find anyone suspicious.

After explaining everything and seeing that there was nothing more for him to do, Zhang He prepared to leave.

"Okay, if you make any new discoveries, please let us know in time, Comrade Zhang!" After seeing Zhang He off, Zheng Dao kept thinking, who is it that knows so much about the relationship between Huang Feng and Master Zhu?

He had also read Huang Feng's information, including that Huang Feng had a blind grandmother, that his father was a notorious hooligan in Gaoyang County who had been arrested for hooliganism and had passed away, and that his mother, Huang Daya, was a child bride whom Huang Feng's grandmother had adopted and given to her son. She died in childbirth after giving birth to Huang Feng.

He had also looked up Zhu Ye's information. Zhu Ye was an orphan since childhood. He was an orphan when he appeared in Jiang City. During the last critical period before liberation, it was very difficult to find the family members of an orphan who was lost or had no parents. He had considered the possibility that Zhu Ye was related to his family.

"Captain Zheng, what are you thinking about? Can we just arrest Master Zhu this time?" Zhao Shi'an saw that Zhang He had been gone for several minutes, but his Captain Zheng was still silently thinking.

"Okay, interrogate Huang Feng again, verify everything once more. Go back to Jiang City these next two days and make sure all the personnel are in place! The operation will take place on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month before the New Year. Make sure the mission is completed successfully so we can celebrate the New Year!"

Zheng Dao solemnly arranged the tasks and began organizing the final clues. He also needed to call the lieutenant general to report the situation and inform him that they didn't need to wait until spring!

"Roger that!" Zhao Shi'an saluted loudly, his face lighting up with excitement. Finally, they could move out! He'd been holed up in Jiang City for almost a year! He wanted to get back to his unit as soon as possible!

Chen Family Area

Chen Xihua, who had already returned home, was still thinking about whether there were any loopholes in what she had just done. She had heard some young men talking and went to the Beiqu Police Station in the county to check the situation first. She found that there was a group of people going in and out at that time, and many people were walking back and forth on the road.

She took out paper and pen from her schoolbag, wrote the words "Huang Feng, Uncle Zhu, nephew" on a piece of paper with her left hand, and followed the crowd to the entrance of the police station, where she threw it in.

She originally planned to go in the evening, but thinking that the police should know sooner and verify the information earlier, she checked the area and found that there were no surveillance cameras at the entrance of the police station, so she didn't consider anything else.

Of course, even if the police knew that the information was given by the person in question, they wouldn't reveal it. However, the police might investigate the source of the information, which would be troublesome.

Can she say that she is a transmigrator of a book, that this is a story from the book, and that she knew about it in advance?

That's just asking for trouble!

"Xiao Wu, did something happen when you went to see Sister Xiao Lan and the others today?" Fourth Sister Chen Xiuhua asked with some concern. She saw that Xiao Wu had been looking preoccupied ever since she entered the house. She was afraid that something had happened at the workshop or the store!

"It's nothing, Fourth Sister, I was just thinking about something!" Chen Xihua didn't think too much about it; she had already done what she needed to do. Besides, she had other things to do.

Just now, at the entrance of the police station, I overheard some people saying that migrant workers at a construction site in the northern new district of the county were causing trouble. The owner of a small real estate development was in arrears with wages, having not paid them for two or three months. With the Chinese New Year approaching, the workers were waiting to get their money so they could go home for the holidays.

Chen Xihua wanted to find the owner of that small real estate development!
