Chapter 53: Picking Up the Credit
Gao Yi was completely fascinated by Abe Hanako and finally agreed to all her requests.
Gao Yi took great pains and finally created an opportunity to tell the news to Chishima Keiko.
The Japanese wanted to rescue Keiko Chishima, but she refused. She knew that it would be extremely difficult to rescue her in the Military Intelligence Department's prison, and her companions would be killed if they came.
But she made a request, asking for help in committing suicide, as she didn't want to endure such inhuman torture anymore.
She was under 24-hour surveillance and had no chance to commit suicide.
This request made Gao Yi even more embarrassed.
In the end, Gao Yi failed to block Abe Hanako's gentle knife. He racked his brains and came up with a plan that he thought was perfect.
After all, Gao Yi is not a professional intelligence officer. The plan he thought was flawless actually had many loopholes in the eyes of Abe Hanako.
After knowing Chishima Keiko's determination, the superiors asked her to help Chishima Keiko fulfill her wish as soon as possible to prevent her from being unable to withstand the torture and rebelling.
Time was running out, so Hanako Abe could only help Gao Yi improve the plan and finally implement it today.
Abe Hanako didn't know whether Chishima Keiko succeeded in committing suicide, but she was very cautious and did not wait for Gao Yi, but returned to Huo Xiao.
But she had something on her mind after all, so Huo Xiao's visit with the surname Zhong immediately aroused her vigilance.
She has obtained a lot of information from Gao Yi.
She had a list of all important personnel at the Military Intelligence Department's Wuhan Station. Coincidentally, there was a person named Zhong in the Military Intelligence Department's operations team.
Abe Hanako is a cautious person. When she heard that the visitor's surname was Zhong, she would hide first, regardless of whether he was from the Military Intelligence Department or not.
Outside the door, Huo Xiao looked at Zhong Hui, sizing him up and down. Zhong Hui had always been in the army and had a certain air of dignity. He didn't dare neglect him, so he clasped his fists and asked, "This brother looks a little unfamiliar. I wonder what can I do for you, Huo?"
"Are you Boss Huo?"
Zhong Hui was also looking at Huo Xiao. Huo Xiao was not alone when he came out to meet them. He was accompanied by eight bodyguards who looked at Zhong Hui and the others vigilantly.
"That's me."
"I'm Zhong Hui from the Military Intelligence Department. This is my ID. I'm looking for Boss Huo to ask something."
Zhong Hui directly took out his ID and showed it to Huo Xiao. Huo Xiao was shocked. As a small gang leader, he was not an ignorant person and knew the existence of the Military Intelligence Department.
The Military Intelligence Department was established not long ago, but it has enormous power. It supervises the military and police, gathers intelligence, and combats spies. It is a very powerful department.
"Captain Zhong, Huo has never done anything illegal. Is there some misunderstanding between us?"
Huo Xiao asked carefully. The Military Intelligence Department is not a police station. If the police really came, he would not be worried. He has many connections in the police station and often has dinner with the directors of various branches.
But the Military Intelligence Department is a group of unreasonable lackeys. If you mess with them, you will get into more trouble than if you mess with the police.
"Is it a misunderstanding? Let's talk about it when we get to our place. Where is the woman in your family?"
Zhong Hui went straight to the point. Huo Xiao was stunned again, and immediately realized that the other party's real target was not her, but Su Manxi. Apart from the maid, Su Manxi was the only woman in his home.
Huo Xiao clasped his fists again and asked carefully, "I don't know what happened to Manxi. I'll trouble you all, officers."
He really loves Hanako Abe and is still thinking about how to protect her at this time.
"Stop talking nonsense and take him down."
Zhong Hui didn't have the patience to continue talking to him, so he gave an order directly. The people behind him immediately stepped forward to hold Huo Xiao down. Huo Xiao's bodyguards quickly drew their guns, and Zhong Hui's men also took out their pistols. The atmosphere instantly became extremely tense.
"Huo Xiao, let me tell you, there are dozens of my brothers around, and we have machine guns. Do you want all your brothers to die?"
Being pointed at by several guns, Zhong Hui was not afraid at all and shouted sternly. Huo Xiao was sweating profusely at this time and hurriedly asked all the men around him to put down their guns.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, Commander Zhong, I'll go call Manxi right away."
In front of ordinary people, Huo Xiao can show off his power, but in front of these real powerful people, he is nothing.
He knew very well that even if he killed Zhong Hui and the others here today, he would never be able to survive in Hankou again, and even if he escaped, he might not be able to escape.
These are similar to the eagle claws of the ancient Jinyiwei and have great power.
Huo Xiao's housekeeper immediately returned to the house and came back a moment later, shouting in panic, "Master, Miss Su is missing."
Hearing that the target was gone, Zhong Hui didn't care about Huo Xiao and rushed in immediately. He left two of his men to guard Huo Xiao, and the rest of them went in to search frantically.
…
"Stationmaster, team leader, the person has been caught."
At the same time that Zhong Hui rushed in, Niu Qiu ran back to Chu Lingyun and Wang Yuemin with a few people and reported excitedly.
Loach was timid and afraid of death, so Chu Lingyun did not arrange him to go to the front, but asked him to take people to guard the back door.
Normally, backdoors are much less dangerous.
The loach guarding the back door never expected that a pie would fall from the sky. They were smoking when their men saw someone sneaking out of the back door of Huo Xiao's house.
Loach didn't care who it was and directly ordered the arrest.
It turned out that this person was not easy to catch. She was quite skilled. If he had not brought so many people with him, she might have escaped.
After catching her, he realized that the person he caught was actually the target of this time, the woman he wanted to catch.
Leaving three people to continue guarding the back door, Loach couldn't wait to bring the woman to find Chu Lingyun to report the good news.
"Great! Go inform Zhong Hui that they've caught him. Have him take Huo Xiao back with him."
Chu Lingyun looked carefully at the captured woman and said happily that the woman was wearing ordinary servant's clothes, but the makeup on her face was not removed. She looked really beautiful and charming.
"Haha, it's good that you caught him. What's your name?" Wang Yuemin was in a good mood after seeing that he had successfully caught him, and couldn't help asking Niuqiu.
"My name is Zhao San, nicknamed Loach. You were the one who put my second lieutenant's collar badge on me personally."
Loach bent down and said excitedly that Wang Yuemin did know the name Zhao San, and had seen Loach and knew that he was from the station.
But there are so many people in the station, it is impossible for him to remember everyone's name. It's okay for the management, but there are many employees under him whose names he can't remember.
"Indeed, a strong general has no weak soldiers. Well done, you have made a great contribution this time."
Wang Yuemin smiled and nodded. Niuqiu felt a little embarrassed by what he said. He was able to make a contribution this time purely because he picked it up.
Chu Lingyun personally checked Abe Hanako and found that she had no weapons or poison on her.
Abe Hanako was lurking beside Huo Xiao and it was impossible for her to have a gun or poison with her. Even if she wanted to commit suicide, she had no chance and was taken away tied up.
