Chapter 25: The Night of the Long Knife (2)
The beginning of autumn should be pasted with autumn fat, and this dinner in Huangfu on August 8 was full of meat, stir-fried meat, stewed meat, barbecued meat, and braised pork. Most of the guests in the Huang Mansion tonight are small bosses in the middle and lower classes, and they have not completely changed from the identity of pickpockets, liars, and robbers, and this group of people is the most likely to cause trouble.
There was a small meeting in the Huang Mansion, but a meeting was held outside the Huang Mansion. According to the plan, each tracking team consisted of two people, one of Guang Ronglin's subordinates and the other of plainclothes in the public concession. Huang Mansion opened five tables to invite forty or fifty guests, more than 30 of them were followed, now the door of the Huang Mansion was lively, everywhere the public concession Bao inquired and Guangrong Lin gangsters, everyone is a pot to eat, it is difficult to know whether you want to know or not. And Bao inquired and the gangsters originally liked this kind of lively scene, and for a while, calling friends and yelling almost became a dating party.
Fortunately, the mansion where Huang Jinrong and Lin Guisheng currently live is Lin Guisheng's dowry, located in the south of Lujiabang, and has been out of the French Concession.
Gao Yi was having dinner when the call came in, and he ate and lived in the Shanghai club for the past few days, and slept on the sofa at night.
After listening to Wilson's report, Gao Yi's first thought was that this matter was already on the verge of leaking. Originally, each tracking team was independent, whether it was Guangronglin's minions or the public concession's Bao Inquiry, they didn't know that they were participating in an operation, and the instructions they received were just simply tracking a gangster in the French Concession. But now that more than 30 groups and 70 or 80 people are gathered together, it is difficult for people not to know that this is a planned and organized large-scale operation. Moreover, the place of convergence was outside the mansion of the French Concession, and the idiots knew who the target of this operation was.
With Huang Jinrong's status in the rivers and lakes, it is difficult to guarantee that no one secretly reports the news. After all, due to the lack of manpower, the petty leaders who are responsible for tracking down are screened out in the credibility and personal ability surveys for various reasons, and can only be said to be ostensibly not involved in the local gangs. Those who are truly credible are almost exclusively used to keep an eye on important targets.
"Is it necessary to take this opportunity to carry out the arrest? A decision must be made now. It's just that my suggestion is to follow the original plan and still act tomorrow, because if you capture it now, you can only catch these small leaders, and their backbone subordinates are not coming with them, so no matter what, you need to make a dispatch tomorrow......"
Wilson was still babbling on the phone about whether to arrest him immediately, and people in this era always have a worse sense of secrecy, even for an experienced police detective like Wilson.
"What's going on on the field? Are there a lot of people staring at the door of the Yellow House? Gao Yi interrupted Wilson.
"Uh...... It was the detective who called back, and there should be Guangronglin's subordinates watching at the door of Huang's house. ”
"Let them all pull back!"
"What?"
"Let all the people who are staring at the door of Huang's house leave!"
There was silence on the other side of the phone, as if he was dissatisfied with Gao Yi's sudden intervention in command, but Wilson quickly changed his attitude and put himself in the right position.
"Okay, I'll tell them to get out at once."
"Wait a minute!" Gao Yi took out a map from the desk and put it on the small square table next to the telephone, "Which house are they at the door of the Huang family now?" ”
"It's the house under the Lujia Stone Bridge, on Salty Gua Street."
Gao Yi glanced at the map, the north-south salted melon street is about half a mile long, the north is connected to the Lujia Stone Bridge outside the small east gate, and the first intersection in the south is Taiping Street in front of the Quanzhang Hall.
"Divide the people of Bao Inquisition and Guangrong Lin into half, half of them will be concentrated on Dongjishui Street in the south of Lujia Shiqiao, and the other half will be concentrated on Taiping Street, and one south and one north will take a look at Salted Gua Street first."
"Understood!"
"I remember the personnel who will be acting tomorrow, and they are already concentrated tonight, right?"
"That's right, everyone has been gathered, and they are in the dormitory of the old gate to catch the house."
"Okay, I will inform the Consulate General and let the army go out to block the north side of the Lujia Stone Bridge first, so that people will not enter the salted melon street from the north, as for the south side...... We'll talk about that then. You and McPherson take the arrest team and go to the scene to command, and let McGowan stay here at the old gate. ”
"Are you going to make an arrest tonight?"
"That's right!"
Gao Yi will not only arrest tonight, but all the people involved in the arrest must be controlled in a centralized manner until a new round of operations begins tomorrow.
"You let McPherson lead the team over first, and concentrate on Le Ba Street north of the Lujia Stone Bridge. If you come to Shanghai first, you will always come to pick me up, and I will go there too. ”
"Okay."
"By the way, we also need to find a place on the site where I can make a phone call...... Where did those packet calls come from? ”
"Uh...... Most of them seem to have come in from the old patrol house on Qipan Street. ”
"!" Gao Yi scolded his mother in his heart, and ran to the patrol room of the French Concession to make a call, which was equivalent to shouting with a loudspeaker: Huang Jinrong, I want to arrest you!
"I will inform the Consulate General and ask them to send someone from the Political Department to come and control the patrol room. You first tell the agents there on the phone that they will all withdraw from the patrol room for me and concentrate on the two locations I just designated. Anyone who is dressed up as a French patrol, or a plainclothes person in the French Concession they know, as long as they step on the Lujia Stone Bridge or pass through the intersection of Taiping Street, they will button it up for me! Also, let McPherson rush over at once, and come and pick me up after you arrange it. ”
"Yes, understood!" Wilson also realized that things could change, and agreed very simply.
"So be it! I'll wait for you. ”
After hanging up Wilson's phone, Gao Yi made the first call to Keswick, asking him to take care of the telephone bureau to intercept all the calls to Huang Jinrong's house, and find out where the calls came from.
Then, Gao Yi contacted de Messier and asked him to send troops to the small east gate of the 16th shop, and first block off all the area, including the old patrol house on Qipan Street, and everyone was only allowed to enter and not leave.
Next, Gao Yi called Ju Laida again and asked him to send someone from the Political Department to the old patrol room, help control it first, and wait for Gao Yi to deal with it. Ju Laida, like all French people, began to chirp when he encountered things, but now that he had no way out, he could only agree to come down and immediately let the people from the political department rush over and control the arrest house.
After making these three calls, Gao Yi stroked his forehead and paced a few steps, and made another call to Li Yongfa, and the call was immediately answered. Gao Yi split his head and asked:
"Do you know the matter?"
"Got it, I've made several phone calls, and I'm thinking about contacting you!"
"Do you have any good men there? I remember instructing you to send someone to keep an eye on some of Huang Jinrong's houses. ”
"Yes, there's a pig Qi there."
"How's the people? Nengwen or Nengwu. ”
"Both civil and military, the mind is lively, and the hands are spicy."
"Okay, then arrange one thing for him, let him transfer a few capable people, keep the gate of the Huang family tight, and tie me up if anyone wants to go in! But you must not let it be found inside. It's more difficult to do this, do you weigh whether he can do it? ”
"Ah Qi has absolutely no problem doing things, although I don't dare to fight the ticket, but I can hit nine out of nine."
"It's enough to have your words!"
