This morning's operation was successful in capturing all targets except for a minor incident during the raid on Jingfu Club.
This unexpected incident did not cause any major problems. During Shao Wenguang's operation, he was discovered by the Japanese spies on guard, and a gunfight ensued. Fortunately, Shao Wenguang was well-prepared and had the upper hand, killing two Japanese spies. In the end, he successfully completed the search mission and seized the ephemeral balm and the safe.
Therefore, this arrest operation can be said to be very successful. However, after all the criminals were brought back, problems arose in the Second Operations Division itself. It turned out that the problem still lay with the interrogation department.
Previously, besides the major departments such as the Operations Section, Intelligence Section, and Telecommunications Section, the Interrogation Section was a minor, dispensable department within the Second Operations Division.
The interrogation department didn't have many staff members to begin with. Their office was located in a five-story building, which was originally a dormitory building. The top three floors were where some single staff members from the interrogation department and other departments lived. The second floor was the office floor for the interrogation department, the first floor was the duty room and interrogation room, and the basement floor was the cell block where prisoners were held.
Due to the nature of their work, the interrogation section of the Second Operations Division was originally a quiet little office, but since Director Ning Zhiheng took charge of the crackdown, it has suddenly changed completely.
The original underground cell was quickly filled, and the guards began to work in shifts around the clock. The few interrogators had to torture the prisoners day and night, almost non-stop. Not only were the prisoners suffering, but the interrogators were also exhausted. This caused chaos in the interrogation department, and even the department head, Wei Jiamu, had to personally take shifts. Everyone in the interrogation department was complaining bitterly.
However, soon after, the action team leader Nie Tianming brought back eight Japanese spies from Yichang. Two days later, the entire team was mobilized and brought back thirty-six prisoners in one go, which caused the interrogation department's cells to be insufficient.
That's not all. Now, several section chiefs are embroiled in a fierce battle over the only two interrogation rooms. These section chiefs are all powerful figures in the Second Action Division, and none of them are people you can afford to offend. Wei Jiamu had no other choice but to come directly to Director Ning Zhiheng and pour out his grievances.
Ning Zhiheng was inspecting the safe that Shao Wenguang had seized. He had just pried it open with tools and found a large amount of cash inside, as well as some crucial documents.
Hearing Wei Jiamu's report, he couldn't help but frown. He had anticipated this situation, so he specifically asked Jian Zhengping, the head of the general affairs department, to renovate the entire interrogation building as soon as possible and to expand it by at least two interrogation rooms. However, when the time came, problems still arose. The Second Action Division was arresting criminals, but they didn't even have a place to detain them. Wouldn't this be a laughing stock if word got out?
"Where is Jian Zhengping?" Ning Zhiheng asked coldly.
Wei Jiamu quickly replied, "We're in the interrogation building, urging people to expedite the renovation of the cells!"
"Why didn't you do this sooner? Call him here!"
Inside the interrogation building, Jian Zhengping anxiously watched the workers install iron doors and windows, urging them on repeatedly while wiping the cold sweat that kept beading on his forehead with a handkerchief.
This time he's really in trouble. The chief ordered him a few days ago to renovate the prison and add interrogation rooms, but it took him two days just to empty the building. He didn't have enough workers for the renovation, so the progress was slow. He's only managed to renovate two floors of prison so far.
As for the interrogation room, although it has been expanded by one room, the various instruments of torture needed have not yet been made, and all the work has not yet been completed when another large number of criminals were arrested and brought into the interrogation department.
Now, because of my poor performance, the work of the entire Second Division is about to come to a standstill. This is something the division chief repeatedly entrusted to me. Given the division chief's temperament, I'm afraid he won't let me off the hook.
Before long, Wei Jiamu, the head of the interrogation section, came running up and said urgently to Jian Zhengping, "Old Jian, the director wants to see you!"
Jian Zhengping was so frightened that his hand trembled. He quickly grabbed Wei Jiamu's hand and asked urgently, "Brother, I've always treated you well. What did you say? You wouldn't kick me when I'm down, would you?"
Seeing that Jian Zhengping's face was a little pale, Wei Jiamu hurriedly comforted him, "Old Jian, don't worry, I didn't say a bad word about you. I even said that you've been working hard to meet the deadlines during this period."
In fact, Wei Jiamu himself was in a terrible predicament, so he had no time to say nice things about Jian Zhengping.
"However, as you can see, there's a huge crowd waiting to be detained outside. There's almost a fight breaking out at the interrogation room door. I have no choice. The director wants you to go over there quickly and explain things clearly."
"Okay, okay, thank you!" Jian Zhengping said hurriedly, then stamped his foot. He had no choice but to hurry downstairs since the director had summoned him.
But as soon as I got to the lobby on the first floor, I heard several voices arguing loudly, which could be heard very clearly in the hallway.
"Old Wei, you guys are too domineering. One department has taken over two interrogation rooms. Do you know that the people we arrested in our Third Department are all key figures? These people must be interrogated immediately without any delay. I don't care, you have to give us one interrogation room!"
This was the voice of Bao Hong, the head of the Third Operations Section. His tone was anxious and agitated, clearly driven to desperation. Their Third Section had been assigned twelve targets, and all of them had been successfully apprehended. This was their most impressive achievement in a long time. They had rushed back excitedly, ready to pry open the suspects' mouths and extract the information they needed to report their success to the director. However, upon their return, they discovered that the dignified Second Operations Section's interrogation division didn't even have a place to interrogate the prisoners. Their only two interrogation rooms had been seized by someone else beforehand.
