(There was a chapter in the front that was changed at eleven o'clock last night...... ）

Wilson arrived at the Shanghai General Assembly after about half an hour, and the situation stabilized slightly, and the political department of the legal arrest room led by Inspector Fabre had arrived at the old arrest room, and counted the number of people, two of the people on duty went out and did not return, one of them went out before dinner, and the whereabouts of the other were being traced; McPherson and the capture team had already arrived at their intended position; And just five minutes ago, Gao Yi had just received a call from de Messier from the old fishing house, and he had personally led a company to the vicinity of the small east gate, and the troops were being deployed.

"Let's go!" Gao Yi got into the carriage and commanded. He didn't ask Wilson to come upstairs to pick him up, but took care of the porter, and when Wilson arrived, he immediately called him to inform him, and he went downstairs.

A little more than a kilometer away, it takes five minutes. Gao Yi got out of the car at the old fishing house.

The old fishing house is on the north side of the Sixteen Pau Bridge, opposite the Xiaodongmen Wharf, less than one hundred and fifty meters away from the Lujia Stone Bridge, no wonder the Bao inquirers came here to call.

De Messier, Fabre and McPherson were all waiting in the duty room. Gao Yi didn't have time to say hello when he entered the duty room, so he walked straight to the telephone, picked up the phone and said:

"Hey, I'm Gao Yi."

"Yes, Mr. Gao Yi."

"I've arrived at the old trap."

"Okay, Mr. Gao Yi, I'll keep the line open."

On the other end of the phone is the operator of Jardine Matheson, and the current telephone operator in Shanghai is Huayang Hotline, and Jardine Matheson has stationed three operators in it to be responsible for the connection of confidential telephones. At this time, the three operators were all online, and they needed to maintain the smooth flow of seven lines, Gao Yi of the old fishing room, Keswick who sat in the Shanghai General Association, De Gray of the public board of directors, Consul General Ju Laida, Li Zhai on Seymour Road, the old gate fishing house, and the Luban Road Barracks that was ready to support at any time.

"Has anyone called the Yellow House?"

"Not yet."

"If someone calls, you drag him on the phone first, and then notify me immediately."

"Yes, sir."

Gao Yi hung up the phone and turned to Fabre Road:

"Mr. Fabre, how many patrols are there in the trap now?"

"Three French patrols, 28 Chinese patrols, and 40 Vietnamese patrols. They are all currently in the dormitory. ”

"Are the two patrols who left their posts both Chinese arrests?"

"No, the one who left before dinner is the Belgian detective, and the one who just left is Hua Zhu."

"Okay, now please send a few people from the Political Department out, and then organize the seventy-one patrols of the old fishing house, and lead them to the old gate of the public concession to capture the house. After a night's rest at the old gate, tomorrow they will participate in a unified operation to clean up the gang elements in the public concession. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Fabre to raise any doubts, Gao Yi picked up the phone again and said, "Please help me pick up the French Consulate General." ”

Then, he handed the receiver to Fabre, "Your Excellency Ryttard will give you orders directly. ”

If a reasonable reason is not given, this matter will inevitably cause a strong backlash in the French Concession, especially within the police system, and even if there is the support of the consul general, it may not be able to suppress it. Therefore, Gao Yi suggested that the matter should be made a little bigger and more high-sounding, for example, a British and French concession exchange patrol to carry out a large-scale purge of local gangs. This not only takes good care of the face of the French Concession, but also gives the public Concession patrol a formal reason to enter the French Concession to enforce the law, and can also reasonably isolate the patrol and arrest of the French Concession from the mountain, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.

As for tomorrow's action in the public concession, it will naturally be a good thing, as long as the number of people is more and it looks better.

"Are the arrest teams all on Lebal Street?" Taking advantage of Fabre's efforts to answer the phone, Gao Yi said to McPherson.

"Yes."

"You go and inform them, let them all get out of the carriage, and go to the old fishing house dormitory to rest first. These carriages will be transported to the old gate by the patrol of the old trap house later. ”

McPherson said yes and walked out. The side door of the old fishing house on Qipan Street is open on Le Ba Street, and the side door is the dormitory of the fishing room.

"The troops have completed their deployment," de Messier saw that Gao Yi finally had a vacancy, and walked over half to greet and half report, and said: "Lujia Stone Bridge, Sixteen Paved Bridge, Qing'an Street, Le Bai Street intersection, I have arranged half a platoon each, and the remaining platoon is here to wait, ready to reinforce all parties." If I still need it, I can ask the barracks to send another company over. ”

"No, it's not necessary at all, one company is enough, thank you, Pierre, thank you for your help, you helped me solve a big problem."

"Where, you've won ......"

At this time, the telephone rang, and the old fishing room had several telephone lines, and there were two in the duty room alone.

Gao Yi walked over and picked up the phone, and the call could only be for him.

"Hello, I'm Gao Yi."

"Hello, Mr. Gao Yi," the operator's voice came from the phone, "There was a call to Huang Zhai just now, from the old Taiping Wharf." ”

The old Taiping Wharf is on Taiping Street, but unfortunately there is no mobile phone now, otherwise it would be enough to call the people who are ambushed on Taiping Street.

It is estimated that the guy who went to report the news saw these dozens of suspicious bad actors in ambush on Taiping Street, so he was so frightened that he didn't dare to go inside - Gao Yi concentrated the public concession bag inquiry in the direction of Lujia Shiqiao, while Guangrong Lin's gangsters were ambushed on Taiping Street.

"Did the other party hang up?"

"Yes, but the other party should wait where he is, because I told him that the phone of the Huang Mansion is on the phone, please stay by the phone for a while, and I will call him back when the Huang Mansion is no longer busy."

"Well done! Keep me informed of any new developments. ”

After hanging up the phone, Gao Yi turned to de Messier and said, "Pierre, I need your help here, please send three people to me." ”

De Messier immediately ordered a lieutenant who was waiting outside the duty room and asked him to select two soldiers to listen to him.

Gao Yi saw that Fabre was still talking to Ju Laida, so he asked the other agents of the Political Department directly in French:

"Do any of you know the Hua Zhu who left his post? If no one knows him, can you help me go to the back dormitory and ask anyone who is more familiar with him......"

"I know him, he's helped me fight before." It was a tall young man who spoke.

"Who are you?"

"Zike Leyval."

"Well, Mr. Leval, I order you to take the officer and two soldiers outside the duty room to the old Taiping Wharf and arrest the Chinese arrester."

"Yes, sir!"

Not long after Leival left, Fabre finished his call, and he began to deploy his manpower, and soon a team of three was selected to lead the team to the old gate of the public concession to hunt houses.

Then there was the sound of people coming in and out, which lasted for about a quarter of an hour before it completely stopped, during which time the Hua Zhu, who was trying to ventilate the news, was caught by Luval and escorted back in the gatehouse of the old Taiping Wharf.

Gao Yi was sure in his heart, and began to think about how to complete the next arrest plan without making mistakes.

At this time, McPherson just finished his task and returned to the duty room, Gao Yi beckoned to him: "Jimmy, let's go to the scene together." ”

After handing over command to Wilson, Gao Yi and McPherson boarded the carriage, and it was eight o'clock in the evening, and the dinner party in the Yellow Mansion had already been held for an hour and a half.
