Chapter 54 Search in the Alley
As a popular street in Nanjing, the Qinhuai River Food Street has a large flow of people, so there are usually many police officers patrolling nearby.
Su Mao knew he had made a huge mistake, and if he didn't make amends quickly, everything might be over when he returned to his department.
So he took Guan Huairen and quickly found the nearby patrol officers, asking them to rush to the nearby streets and alleys and block off the entrances and exits.
This was to prevent Japanese spies from landing on land, entering the alleyways, and then escaping.
. . . . . .
Xia Guang had already swum to the shore. He wasn't a very good swimmer and hadn't been able to catch up with his opponent while they were in the river.
He saw that the other person had landed at one spot, so he immediately swam over to them.
As soon as he got ashore, he saw a figure run into an alley, so he immediately followed.
Upon entering the alley, Xia Guang did not see the other person, only a few discarded clothes, and the water stains had disappeared.
Without much hesitation, he fired three shots into the air.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
At this moment, a patrol team was nearby. They had just been dispatched by Su Mao to block the entrances and exits of Wuyi Lane.
The alley that Watanabe Yuuma escaped into was Wuyi Alley.
During the Republic of China era, Wuyi Lane covered a relatively large area, housing nearly a hundred households. One of the lane entrances was only a hundred meters away from the Qinhuai River.
The patrol team rushed over after hearing the gunshot and saw Xia Guang.
"Immediately seal off all entrances and exits to this alley! At the same time, send a few men to the rooftops to keep watch and prevent the Japanese spies from escaping over the walls!" Xia Guang ordered.
"yes!"
Meanwhile, inside the Red Party's safe house in Wuyi Lane.
Zhou Yihui was writing in his room when the sudden gunshot startled him. He quickly put away his paper, got up, and prepared to go out to check the situation.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Yu Dong observing the surroundings from the eaves.
Then, as if he had seen something, Yu Dong quickly jumped down. Seeing Zhou Yihui approaching, he hurriedly said, "Brother Zhou, did you hear the gunshot?"
Zhou Yihui nodded. "What did you just see?"
"I rushed up to the roof after hearing the gunshots and saw that they seemed to be searching for someone outside," Yu Dong said.
"I also saw a figure climb into a house."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yihui frowned deeply. He remembered that Song Yu had told him that the Special Service was currently searching for a man in the south of the city who was missing a finger.
Could it be that the person has escaped into Wuyi Lane?
He suddenly felt that he was extremely unlucky. He encountered a traitor while walking on the street, and now that he had finally been rescued and hidden away, he was caught in an operation by the secret service.
However, he didn't dwell on it for long. The person had escaped into a house, and the secret service would definitely search every house. They would likely find them there.
Although all the bandages they had used before were taken away, someone from the Secret Service had seen him!
Yu Dong realized this too, and quickly said, "Brother Zhou, won't they recognize you?"
"I'm not sure about that. You should hide the medicine and the gun first, especially the gun. Make sure it's well hidden. I'll go and disguise myself," Zhou Yihui said.
He was leaving Jinling in the next few days, and in order to avoid being recognized, he asked Song Yu to buy him some makeup products and props.
He had no other choice now; forcing his way out would only lead to his death. He could only hope that his disguise could fool the spies.
. . . . . .
Shen Yi had already led his men to Wuyi Lane and saw Xia Guang, who was soaked to the bone.
"I'm sorry, team leader, I failed to capture the Japanese spy," Xia Guang said with a guilty expression.
Seeing this, Shen Yi did not punish Xia Guang, knowing that it was not Xia Guang's fault.
"It's okay, it's not your fault."
"Are you sure the Japanese spy ran into this alley?"
Xia Guang nodded and recounted what had happened.
Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this; he had indeed been right about Xia Guang.
Xia Guang reacted quickly, trapping the Japanese spies in Wuyi Lane.
At this moment, Su Mao led several patrol officers running over from not far away.
He had just arrived in front of Shen Yi and hadn't even spoken when Shen Yi kicked him against the wall, letting out a muffled groan.
Although it hurt a lot, Su Mao dared not show any dissatisfaction and could only force himself to stand up.
"Team...team leader, I'm sorry."
Shen Yi snorted coldly; he really wanted to shoot Su Mao dead right now.
However, Su Mao and Lin Jiang have been together for quite some time, and the Special Service Department has its own internal rules. Dai Chunfeng will explain how to handle the situation.
He's only a deputy team leader right now; if he takes action without authorization, it will definitely cause resentment.
After what happened with Su Mao, Shen Yi realized that he had to have his own team, and he would rather have none than to have the wrong ones!
"Have men search every house; we must find this Japanese spy!"
"yes!"
There are two main roads intersecting in Wuyi Lane, which can be roughly divided into east and west sections. The eastern section is the part that is closer to the Qinhuai River.
The special service team that came to provide support were all members of the second team, but at this time they did not follow Su Mao to conduct the search, but instead followed Xia Guang to search the east.
Several police officers were also present, responsible for verifying whether residents lived there.
Su Mao didn't say much about it, knowing that he might lose his position as captain of the second team.
The best outcome would be demotion or exile; he didn't even dare to think about the worst.
He now had to do his best to make amends for his mistakes, so he led the patrol officers to begin searching the western side.
Shen Yi, along with several others, began the search.
The alley was inhabited by ordinary people. The wealthy and powerful lived in Western-style houses and mansions, and would never settle for such a small alley.
The commotion outside had already alerted the residents in the alley, but the world was in such a chaotic state that people were afraid of getting into trouble, so they all locked their doors and hid inside, too afraid to come out.
But the secret agents and police didn't care about them. If they didn't answer the door, they would smash it open. Once inside, they began searching without any restraint.
Shen Yi searched three houses in succession but found nothing, so he went to the fourth house.
Following the same procedure, the police first knocked on the door, and when there was no response, they started smashing things.
A moment later, the door opened, and Yu Dong looked at them with a horrified expression.
"Gentlemen, what's going on?"
"Why are you taking so long to open the door? Get out of here!"
A patrolman pushed the door open, and the secret agents behind him swarmed in.
Seeing that there was no danger inside, Shen Yi finally went in.
He glanced at Yu Dong and felt that the fear on the other man's face seemed somewhat fake. He had some doubts in his heart, and then went into the inner room.
At this moment, the secret agents had already started searching inside, and Zhou Yihui was being questioned by the police.
Song Yu had already prepared their identities, so there was nothing unusual about it.
Shen Yi looked at Zhou Yihui, his suspicions growing stronger, because he could see that the other man was putting on a facade.
Although Zhou Yihui's disguise was very good, Shen Yi, as a portrait artist in his previous life, had seen too many disguised suspects, and their techniques were even more sophisticated.
Shen Yi could tell that the other person wasn't the Japanese spy, so who was he? And why was he disguising himself?
