Chapter 124 Someone was arrested
Chapter 124 Someone was arrested
"Yes, Chief Inspector."
Captain Wu hurriedly left. It wasn't just his team that came. For such a big incident, all the officers from the Xiafei Road Police Station, whether on duty or off-duty, rushed over.
The scene was a complete mess, a truly tragic sight.
The ground was littered with spent shell casings and there were injured people.
Some civilians were slower to run and were also hit by stray bullets, making them even more unlucky.
Qian Hao didn't die; he managed to escape by lying down. However, he was taken away by the police. He claimed to be a passerby, but the police wouldn't let him go. He was temporarily detained with others and interrogated later.
"Brother Lu, can I go and ask about these people?"
Su Yuncheng asked, and Lu Mingxuan immediately nodded, "It's alright, ask whatever you want."
Lu Mingxuan wasn't stupid. After learning that Jiang Mushan had been killed, he immediately realized that this might be an act of revenge by the Kuomintang.
Jiang Mushan absconded with hundreds of thousands of dollars; the Kuomintang will certainly not swallow this insult.
The people who carried out the operation were most likely from the Special Service, and most likely from the Shanghai Station.
Why didn't these people give him a heads-up before they took action, so he could be prepared?
This time, Lu Mingxuan has wronged the people at the Shanghai station. Apart from Wang Hengxin, no one at the Shanghai station knows about his relationship with the Special Service Department.
He now belongs to Shen Mozhou, to the Special Operations Section, and is not on the same line as the Shanghai Station.
Wang Hengxin didn't take this assassination mission seriously at all, nor did he expect such an accident to happen. Killing a corrupt military officer was a very simple task for him.
If Lu Mingxuan is to be used, it is necessary to report to headquarters and coordinate with the Special Operations Section.
The whole process was troublesome and tedious, so Wang Hengxin didn't do it.
Even if he did it, it wouldn't be of much use. The police officers aren't spies, and Lu Mingxuan wouldn't openly give them orders to help the people at the Shanghai station.
Moreover, no one knew that the Special Higher Police would be waiting for them here.
If Lu Mingxuan had known in advance, he might have even reduced the number of police officers patrolling the dance hall to alleviate the pressure during the operation in Shanghai.
That way, Lu Mingxuan himself might be exposed.
At this moment, Lu Mingxuan wasn't thinking about these things. He was thinking about what would happen if he really was someone from the Special Service Department and he had caught them.
When Martin was around, things were fine. He would give some money and say he could get the person out by ransom.
Unfortunately, Dylan isn't Martin; he takes things too seriously. This time, he'll probably need Su Yuncheng's help.
But how should he talk to Su Yuncheng about it?
Lu Mingxuan was very troubled.
"Chief Inspector, there were twelve murderers in total. Two escaped, and the remaining few were injured and couldn't escape. They said they were paid to kill."
Captain Wu quickly came over to report that the operation involved a team of twelve people from the Shanghai station, and only two of them escaped.
Three others were injured, and all the others perished.
The losses at the Shanghai station were enormous, and the station is currently unaware of them. If they did, Cao Lijun and Wang Hengxin would be in serious trouble.
"Take it back first."
Lu Mingxuan's face turned ashen. If they really caught someone, what a load of rubbish about hiring a killer; it must have been someone from the Special Service impersonating someone else.
Su Yuncheng also learned a lot from the interrogation. After the murderer killed someone, someone immediately fired shots at them.
There was also a man who appeared to be Japanese. He was carrying a gun and was killed before he could fire it after the gunfight started.
He had no identification on him, but Su Yuncheng checked his underwear.
His underwear confirmed that he was Japanese.
More than one Japanese person has died.
Su Yuncheng had already guessed the general situation: the Japanese had received advance notice of the Special Service's sanctions against Jiang Mushan, most likely from the Special Higher Police, who had the deepest conflict with the Shanghai Station.
They received intelligence and deliberately came to cause trouble, or rather, to kill people.
They did not protect Jiang Mushan at all.
How could the operation at Shanghai Station have been leaked?
It's highly likely that someone tipped him off, but this is an internal matter at Shanghai Station and has nothing to do with him.
"Take everyone back."
The scene was quickly cleared. Lu Mingxuan shouted, "Don't even think about sleeping tonight! We've taken away not only those who were arrested, but also some innocent civilians."
These people will all be interrogated.
One night probably wouldn't be enough.
He has to report this to Dylan by tomorrow morning at the latest; if it happens sooner, Dylan might even show up at their police station.
Dillon's absence gave Lu Mingxuan quite a bit of time.
"Yuncheng, are you free?"
Lu Mingxuan took the initiative to find Su Yuncheng, saying that no matter when Dilang came, it would be best if Su Yuncheng was present.
Su Yuncheng will have to work hard today.
"When you have time, Brother Lu, please speak."
"Could we come to our police station for a while?"
Lu Mingxuan took the initiative to invite him, and Su Yuncheng smiled and said, "Brother Lu, are you going to give me first-hand news? Of course, no problem."
Even if Lu Mingxuan didn't come to invite him, Su Yuncheng would still find a way to stay.
This time was different from before; there were survivors who had been captured, and he needed to go to the police station to find out everything.
The Japanese deserve to die. Although the Special Service is not much better, it is now a force against Japan.
Such power needs to be preserved.
And with such a big incident this time, Lu Mingxuan's troubles will be considerable.
Su Yuncheng must protect Lu Mingxuan, as he still holds great importance for Su Yuncheng.
"Yun Cheng, thank you very much."
Lu Mingxuan said gratefully, knowing that Su Yuncheng was very smart and that he was going with him mainly to help him.
The police station on Xiafei Road was brightly lit.
Many people know that with such a fierce battle, many won't be able to sleep tonight.
"Yuncheng, do you want to come to the interrogation room together?"
Lu Mingxuan hurriedly returned to his office, and after coming out, he asked Su Yuncheng, who was still outside taking notes.
Since we can get firsthand news, we should record as much as possible so we can produce a press release tomorrow.
If something is too big, it might even be published in a special edition.
"it is good."
Su Yuncheng didn't stand on ceremony. His identity as the newspaper's editor-in-chief was his best cover, and no one at the newspaper would refuse to participate in such a matter.
He followed, and no one questioned his motives.
Lu Mingxuan personally examined the injured Shanghai team members.
Two people were seriously injured and were taken to the hospital. This person was less seriously injured and could have escaped if he hadn't been injured in the leg.
The police station had a medical room, where they gave him some basic first aid.
"Explain yourself, who exactly are you people?"
Lu Mingxuan personally interrogated Su Yuncheng without any politeness, immediately reprimanding him. Su Yuncheng was sitting to the side; since Lu Mingxuan had brought him along, none of the other patrol officers dared to voice their opinions.
"I've already said it, we're from Dianhu. Someone paid us a lot of money to come and kill people."
Su Yuncheng sensed that he was lying. There were indeed bandits in Dianhu, not far from Shanghai, but their people would never come to Shanghai to kill people randomly.
They don't have that kind of firepower either.
"Still lying? You won't confess until you suffer a bit, huh? Let me ask you, what's the old tailor's name at the third shop on the main street of Dianhu Town?"
Lu Mingxuan is no ordinary person to have reached the position of Chief Inspector; such a lie cannot fool him.
The interrogated team members were slightly taken aback. Dianhu was the excuse they had agreed upon beforehand. If anyone got into trouble and was arrested by the police, they would say they came from Dianhu.
Dianhu is near Shanghai, but it's not close; it's nearly 100 kilometers away. The bandits there are arrogant, and the police won't bother to investigate their identities.
But he didn't expect that the person in front of him had been to Dianhu Lake and knew so much about it.
