Chapter 456: Catch Them All
Zhou Yimin had no choice but to tell the whole story half-truthfully.
Upon hearing this, Deputy Director Zhang pounded his fist on the table and said, "These enemy spies are like indestructible cockroaches. They will come back to life after a while!"
"Yimin, you have done a great job this time. These enemy agents are too rampant. If you hadn't discovered them in time, the consequences would have been disastrous."
When he heard Zhou Yimin's words, he knew there must be something fishy about them, but he could also understand that if the enemy spies knew about it, it would be Zhou Yimin who ruined their plans.
They will definitely try every possible means to retaliate. In addition, Zhou Yimin's inventive ability is obvious to everyone, and the country certainly does not want anything to happen to Zhou Yimin.
Zhou Yimin smiled modestly: "I discovered it by accident, too. Deputy Director Zhang, what should we do next?"
Deputy Director Zhang pondered for a moment and said, "This plan is very detailed. We can follow the clues and catch all these enemy spies in one fell swoop. However, this matter must be kept absolutely confidential and we must not alert the enemy. I will immediately organize people and formulate a capture plan."
If it were anyone else, he would definitely not say much, but in order to protect Zhou Yimin's safety, he said: "Yimin, during this period of time, don't go back to the village or the courtyard, just stay with me!"
Zhou Yimin understood what Deputy Director Zhang meant and nodded.
Deputy Director Zhang felt relieved when he saw Zhou Yimin was so sensible. If Zhou Yimin didn't want to stay here, there was nothing he could do.
Moreover, Zhou Yimin's identity is special, so many methods don't need to be used, and we can only follow Zhou Yimin's opinions.
In order not to waste time, Deputy Director Zhang immediately called his superior and told him the whole story.
A voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xiao Zhang, is the source of the information confirmed?"
After all, this is no trivial matter. If we are not careful, everyone will be punished.
Deputy Director Zhang looked at Zhou Yimin, and then assured: "Leader, don't worry, the source of the information is confirmed."
He knew what kind of person Zhou Yimin was. Zhou Yimin could have pretended not to see anything and there was no need to report it and risk retaliation from enemy agents.
The voice on the other end of the phone said in a deep voice: "Okay, now that the source of the information is confirmed, just go ahead and do it! I will satisfy you with any support you need."
Deputy Director Zhang repeated all his requirements. You have to know that they are facing enemy spies this time, so they must make full preparations and cannot allow any casualties due to any negligence.
If there were casualties due to my negligence, I would definitely feel guilty.
The person on the other end of the phone thought for a while and said, "Okay, I agree to all your requests, but there is only one thing I want to do, and it must be done beautifully."
Deputy Director Zhang hurriedly said: "Leader, don't worry, the mission will be successfully completed."
In order to capture the enemy spies in minutes, Deputy Director Zhang quickly summoned the experienced and agile criminal police in the bureau and started a tense discussion in a secret meeting room.
They carefully studied the enemy's action plan and analyzed every possible contact point and hiding place.
Zhou Yimin was also in the meeting, just a silent listener. At this time, Deputy Director Zhang suddenly asked: "Yimin, can you describe the characteristics of the three enemy agents your friend saw?"
Zhou Yimin nodded, and then began to describe in detail the situation in the cave and the characteristics of the three enemy spies he saw.
"According to this plan, the enemy spies will make their first contact at the abandoned factory in the west of the city tomorrow night. We must seize this opportunity and catch them all in one fell swoop." Deputy Director Zhang pointed to the mark on the map and said with a firm look.
The arrest was scheduled for the next night. The night was as dark as ink, and the entire county was immersed in silence.
Zhou Yimin and a group of criminal police officers were lurking around the abandoned factory in advance. They were dressed in dark clothes and blended into the night.
Everyone looked focused, with vigilance and determination in their eyes.
Originally, Deputy Director Zhang did not agree with Zhou Yimin's participation in this arrest operation. You have to know that enemy spies all have guns, and if you are not careful, your life will be in danger.
But in the end he was persuaded by Zhou Yimin's righteousness, but he still forced Zhou Yimin to follow behind and not charge alone.
As time passed, Zhou Yimin's heartbeat became faster and faster.
He tightly grasped the weapon in his hand, and kept thinking about the enemy spies' conspiracy in his mind, secretly cheering himself up and determined not to let them succeed.
Finally, several dark shadows sneaked towards the abandoned factory.
Zhou Yimin took a closer look and found that it was an enemy spy.
They carefully looked around and made sure there was nothing unusual before slowly walking into the factory.
Deputy Director Zhang whispered an order: "Action!" Everyone approached the factory quickly and quietly.
When they entered the factory, the enemy spies seemed to notice something strange.
The leading enemy spy turned around suddenly and shouted, "There is an ambush!" At the same time, they quickly took out their weapons and shot at the criminal police.
In an instant, gunshots echoed in the empty factory.
The detectives looked for cover to hide, and the two sides were engaged in a fierce exchange of fire.
The enemy agents were obviously professionally trained, with accurate shooting and fierce firepower. It was difficult for the criminal police to get close to them.
Zhou Yimin hid behind a pillar, feeling extremely anxious.
He knew that the stalemate would be disadvantageous to his side.
Zhou Yimin observed the positions of the enemy spies and found that their firepower was mainly concentrated in the front, and the side defense was relatively weak.
Zhou Yimin winked at Deputy Director Zhang, and they both understood.
Zhou Yimin was the first to rush out from the side to attract the enemy's firepower.
As expected, the enemy spies turned their guns towards him, and Zhou Yimin flexibly moved between obstacles, dodging the bullets.
Just when the enemy spies focused their attention on Zhou Yimin, Deputy Director Zhang and several criminal police launched a surprise attack from the other side.
The enemy agents panicked and began to retreat step by step. But they were unwilling to surrender and tried to break through while resisting.
An enemy spy seized the opportunity and threw a homemade bomb at Zhou Yimin.
Zhou Yimin was quick to move and quickly lay down on the ground. The bomb exploded beside him, raising a cloud of dust and heat.
Taking advantage of the gap when the enemy spies' firepower was slightly weakened, the criminal police rushed forward. After a fierce fight, they finally subdued all the enemy spies.
Although the arrest was successful, several criminal police officers were slightly injured in the process. Zhou Yimin and Deputy Director Zhang looked at the enemy spies being escorted, and they were filled with emotion.
"Yimin, thanks to you this time. If it weren't for you, we don't know how much trouble it would take to catch these guys." Deputy Director Zhang patted Zhou Yimin on the shoulder and said.
"Also, don't be so impulsive next time. After all, guns don't have eyes."
Zhou Yimin smiled and said, "Deputy Director Zhang, don't worry, there won't be a next time."
After hearing Zhou Yimin's assurance, Deputy Director Zhang chose to trust Zhou Yimin again, and there would be a next time.
He would definitely leave Zhou Yimin in the police station. Even if he was an enemy spy, he would not be so bold as to attack the police station directly, so the police station was still very safe.
After the arrest operation was over, Deputy Director Zhang knew that time was running out and the enemy spies' plans could continue to advance at any time. He had to pry more information out of these captured enemy spies as soon as possible.
So, without taking a rest, he immediately organized people to interrogate the first wave of captured enemy spies overnight.
The atmosphere in the interrogation room was so oppressive that it made people feel suffocated. Deputy Director Zhang sat at the interrogation table, staring at the enemy spy sitting opposite him with sharp eyes.
The enemy agent lowered his head with a hint of stubbornness and resistance on his face, and turned a deaf ear to Deputy Director Zhang's questions.
Deputy Director Zhang frowned. He knew that these enemy agents had received special training and would not speak easily. But he also had his own way. He first took out the plan he had found in the cave and slowly unfolded it in front of the enemy agents.
"You should be familiar with this plan, right? We have already obtained many clues. If you confess now, you can still strive for a lighter sentence." Deputy Director Zhang's voice was low and powerful.
The enemy agent snorted coldly, raised his head, and his eyes were full of disdain: "Don't waste your energy, you don't want to know anything."
Deputy Director Zhang was not angered by the enemy spies' attitude. He winked at the police officer next to him, and the police officer took out some photos, which showed the weapons they had seized during the arrest and the letters used by the enemy spies to contact them.
"These evidences are enough to convict you of serious crimes. How long do you think you can hold on?" Deputy Director Zhang continued to put pressure on you.
The enemy spy's eyes flashed with panic, but he quickly regained his composure. Seeing this, Deputy Director Zhang decided to try another approach.
He began to talk about the lives of the people of that era, their efforts to live a stable life, and how much harm the actions of the enemy spies would bring to society.
"You are also Chinese. Do you really want to destroy the peace of your own country for those foreign forces?" There was a hint of sadness in Deputy Director Zhang's words.
The enemy spy's expression changed slightly, and his eyes began to waver.
Deputy Director Zhang seized this opportunity and continued, "As long as you tell us the whereabouts of the other accomplices, we can consider leniency."
After several hours of confrontation, the enemy agents finally gave in.
He began to give information about some contact points and a few minions. But Deputy Director Zhang knew that this was far from enough. He continued to dig deeper, not missing any details.
In the following interrogation, Deputy Director Zhang encountered another problem. The other enemy agent refused to speak no matter what, as if he was determined to keep the secret.
Deputy Director Zhang decided to use fatigue tactics. He arranged for police officers to take turns to interrogate the enemy spies, not giving them a chance to rest. At the same time, he also had people prepare some food and water, put them in front of the enemy spies, but not let them eat easily.
As time went by, the enemy agent's spirit gradually collapsed. His eyes became empty and his body began to tremble slightly.
Finally, in the darkness before dawn, he revealed several important insiders and their hiding places.
After receiving this information, Deputy Director Zhang did not dare to delay for even a second. He quickly integrated the police force and formulated a detailed capture plan based on the hiding places and insider information provided by the enemy spies.
This time, he wanted to make sure that all enemy spies involved in the operation were caught in one fell swoop and their conspiracy was completely crushed.
Before daybreak, Deputy Director Zhang led the criminal police in several groups and headed towards different target locations.
Zhou Yimin also volunteered, but was rejected by Deputy Director Zhang. He knew that this time was even more dangerous than the last time. In order to protect the country's important talents, he could only arrange for someone to watch Zhou Yimin. He could only stay in the police station and could not go anywhere.
Deputy Director Zhang then led everyone on the journey. Along the way, everyone looked solemn and the atmosphere was tense and depressing.
When the first ray of sunlight shone on the earth, each capture team arrived at the designated location.
The first team was responsible for capturing an important insider who was hiding in a remote village. On the surface, he was an ordinary farmer, but in fact he was secretly passing intelligence for the enemy spies.
They approached the dilapidated farmhouse cautiously. There was silence all around, as if everything was still asleep.
Deputy Director Zhang gestured, signaling everyone to disperse and surround the farmhouse. Just as they were about to break in, a cough suddenly came from the farmhouse.
The heart of one of the detectives suddenly tightened. He knew that if the traitor was alerted, it would probably lead to a fierce conflict.
Deputy Director Zhang acted decisively and kicked the door open. Everyone rushed into the room and saw a middle-aged man sitting beside the bed, looking at them in astonishment.
Before he could react, the detectives rushed over and held him firmly under control.
"Who are you? Why are you arresting me?" The traitor tried to explain himself calmly.
"Stop pretending. We already have evidence of your crime." Deputy Director Zhang said coldly.
At the same time, other arrest teams also reported good news. They successfully arrested many enemy agents and insiders without encountering too much obstacles. However, at the last target location, an accident occurred.
It was an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city. According to enemy spies, several important core members were hiding there.
When the arrest team arrived, they found the warehouse door closed and a strange atmosphere filled the air.
Deputy Director Zhang led everyone to approach the warehouse carefully. He signaled two police officers to climb over the wall from the side to check the situation. Just as the two police officers climbed over the wall, a burst of gunfire suddenly rang out in the warehouse.
It turned out that the enemy spies had already noticed something unusual and set up an ambush.
Deputy Director Zhang quickly organized everyone to find shelter and started a fierce firefight with the enemy spies. The enemy spies occupied advantageous terrain and had fierce firepower, making it difficult for the capture team to get close.
A police officer was unfortunately hit by an enemy spy's bullet while being transferred and fell to the ground.
Deputy Director Zhang rushed out regardless of the danger and dragged the injured police officer to a safe area. He tore off the corner of his clothes and bandaged the police officer's wound.
At this moment, Deputy Director Zhang saw a brief break in the enemy's firepower. He seized the opportunity and shouted, "Charge!"
The criminal police rushed into the warehouse like tigers descending from the mountains. Deputy Director Zhang followed closely behind, holding his weapon tightly in his hands.
In the fierce fight, the criminal police gradually gained the upper hand with their tenacious will and excellent fighting skills.
After a fierce battle, all the enemy spies in the warehouse were finally subdued. So far, all the enemy spies involved in this operation have been successfully arrested.
Deputy Director Zhang looked at the enemy spies being escorted, and the heavy stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
After returning to the county, Deputy Director Zhang reported the details of the operation to his superiors.
Their superiors highly praised and affirmed their work, and Zhou Yimin was also commended for his outstanding contribution to this operation.
