Chapter 453 Unexpected Situations
What Lin Ruotang didn't know was that there was also a capture operation going on behind the Red Party.
Bai Zhu in the rear was not a pushover either. He became suspicious when the last telegraph operator suddenly slipped and injured his hand. This time he even resorted to the empty city plan just to catch the operator in the act.
After everyone left, the telegraph operator who was supposed to leave came back, turned on the machine, and kept looking at the time. It was almost half an hour. Half an hour later, he sent a telegram. If they could find the person who received the telegram signal at that time, they would be able to find the underground contact person at Tianjin Station.
He kept looking at the time, and when he saw that the time was almost up, he turned on the telegraph machine.
The door was suddenly opened, and the telegraph operator panicked when he saw Bai Zhu coming in, and hurriedly explained,
"I'm checking the machine!"
Bai Zhu waved his hand and asked someone to come in and take the radio operator away. He had a serious look on his face.
"Is it time for your appointment?"
"As soon as you came in, I kept an eye on you. Why else do you think I came in just now?"
The man was taken away, and Wei Sheng was destined to make a wasted trip. He kept asking the people in the technical department,
"No signal yet?"
"no!"
He was not satisfied with this answer, so he asked:
"No signal at all?"
"no!"
Wei Sheng did not give up after getting this answer. He had an idea that it was probably the shopkeeper or a small boss. He picked out a few people he suspected and took his men inside to search.
They soon searched Guo Tao's shop. Guo Tao was not panicked at all. He stood in the corner holding the older Dongsheng, with an honest look on his face.
Wei Sheng had no clue. Just as he turned to leave, he heard the phone on the counter behind him ringing.
The phone kept ringing.
Wei Sheng turned his head and stared at Guo Tao, pulling out his gun.
"Don't move!"
Guo Tao quickly covered Dong Dongsheng's eyes and shrank into the corner.
Wei Sheng picked up the phone without saying anything. He wanted to know who called this person.
When Lin Ruotang picked up the phone, she realized something was wrong. Guo Tao wouldn't. She realized something was wrong and immediately said in an unhappy tone:
"Boss Guo, hasn't the magazine I ordered arrived yet? How long have I been waiting?"
"It's you? Lin Ruotang?"
Wei Sheng looked at Guo Tao in surprise. Guo Tao lowered his eyes and met Dong Sheng's childish gaze.
"Captain Wei, are you in Boss Guo's shop?"
Lin Ruotang asked Wei Sheng in return, and even said to Wei Sheng at the end:
"Give the phone to Boss Guo. I have something to say to him."
Wei Sheng waved, and Guo Tao stepped forward immediately. Wei Sheng handed him the phone and leaned over to listen. He only heard Lin Ruotang's complaining voice.
"Boss Guo, last time you asked me to wait for two days, two days, I've been waiting for so long. If it weren't for Dongsheng's face, I would have been really angry..."
Guo Tao glanced at Wei Sheng, who raised his chin slightly, motioning him to speak.
Guo Tao took the phone and whispered:
"Ms. Lin, I'm so sorry. The magazine you wanted is really out of stock. I've been trying to get it from so many people. That magazine has photos of the most popular celebrities, and it sold out right away. I'll try to find someone to look for it for you. Maybe someone still has some left..."
After hearing this, Lin Ruotang could only reluctantly say:
"I understand. Thank you, Boss Guo!"
After Guo Tao hung up the phone, Wei Sheng looked at Guo Tao.
"Lin Ruotang always comes to buy books? Can she finish reading them?"
After hearing this, Guo Tao immediately explained,
"They're not those profound books, mostly magazines or some novels..."
Wei Sheng pinched his chin and said doubtfully:
"She loves reading so much?"
After Wang Dabao heard this, he muttered in the back,
"Inspector Lin... Inspector Lin, when she was in Shanghai, she loved reading newspapers and books. Back then, she'd read the newspaper every day... on her way to work, and no one dared to say anything... about her!"
Wei Sheng glanced at Wang Dabao and snorted coldly.
"You know a lot!"
He turned and walked out of the bookstore.
Wang Dabao followed at the end. When he walked out of the bookstore, he glanced at Guo Tao and Dongsheng, took out a piece of candy from his arms, stuffed it into Dongsheng's hand, and hurriedly caught up with Wei Sheng.
Dongsheng handed the candy to Guo Tao.
"sugar!"
"you eat!"
As soon as Guo Tao finished speaking, Dongsheng's eyes lit up and he slowly began to lick it.
Seeing Wei Sheng's team walking away, Guo Tao thought of Wang Dabao. This man was a bit interesting. There was a smile on the corner of his mouth. He still didn't know what he had escaped from.
Lin Ruotang hung up the phone and let out a long sigh. She frowned slightly. Wei Sheng was in Guo Tao's bookstore, but he didn't arrest Guo Tao. What was going on?
Did something unexpected happen?
Wei Sheng hurried back to the bureau, and Lin Ruotang immediately followed him.
Wei Sheng opened the door and said to Sun Yizheng:
"No one is using the telegraph. There's no detection at all. Maybe the intelligence is wrong..."
Lin Ruotang knocked on the door, documents in hand.
The door was not closed tightly just now, so she happened to hear something.
As soon as the door closed, she knocked on it. She had to see what was going on.
Wei Sheng opened the door and saw Lin Ruotang. He said with a bad look,
"Inspector Lin, you better have something important to tell me!"
Lin Ruotang pushed Wei Sheng aside, walked into the office, and said to Sun Yizheng:
"I received a call that an unannounced inspection team from the inspection team will be arriving soon!"
"what!"
Hearing this, Sun Yizhen stood up.
Wei Sheng was also surprised. He didn't expect that Lin Ruotang really had important news.
Sun Yi was holding his forehead, and Lin Ruotang took the opportunity to ask:
"Stationmaster, what's going on?"
Sun Yizhen waved his hands helplessly, his face full of melancholy.
Seeing Wei Sheng's bad face, Lin Ruotang asked maliciously:
"Did the captain of the guard go to catch the 'Partridge'? Why did he come back alone?"
Wei Sheng looked aggrieved and his expression was ugly.
Sun Yizheng no longer kept it a secret, he said to Lin Ruotang:
"I received news earlier that our people were going to send a telegram to the contact person in the Red Party's underground station. I asked Wei Sheng to take the machine to detect it, but to my surprise, there was no signal at all."
Seeing this, Wei Sheng couldn't help but say:
"Is the intelligence wrong?"
Lin Ruotang sneered and glanced at Wei Sheng mockingly.
Wei Sheng was dissatisfied and asked with a stern face:
"Does Inspector Lin have any good ideas?"
Sun Yizheng heard this and looked over. Lin Ruotang said slowly:
"I don't think you have any insights. Instead of looking so gloomy here, why don't you go check if the hidden stakes we've set up are still there?"
"What do you mean?"
Sun Yizhen's scalp tingled. Did this mean that not only did they have no news about 'Partridge', but the lurking personnel had also been discovered?
"Everyone, get out. I'm going to make a phone call!"
Lin Ruotang turned and left, Wei Sheng also came out, he saw Lin Ruotang's figure, his eyes were dark, that phone call still bothered him, he chased after her,
"Inspector Lin, are you familiar with Boss Guo?"
"How could I not be familiar with him? I was the one who saved his son Dongsheng, and he even said he would accept me as his godmother. I have a special status, so how can I just be anyone's godmother? If I make a phone call and someone stops me on the road and asks me all sorts of questions, I'll be asking for trouble..."
Lin Ruotang crossed his arms in front of his chest and looked at Wei Sheng with a squint, implying something, that was him, Wei Sheng.
Wei Sheng saw this and his eyes turned. He still had something to ask Lin Ruotang. He was patient for the time being and explained first.
"Inspector Lin, that's not what I meant!"
Seeing Lin Ruotang put down his hand and walked slowly, he continued to ask,
"When will the undercover inspection team arrive? How did you get the news..."
Seeing this, Wei Sheng immediately changed the subject and secretly visited the inspection team. He also cared about this matter. After all, he seemed to be the most useless person at Tianjin Station.
Of course, he thought he was useless, he felt that there was still a suitable opportunity, and he had been waiting for that right time.
Lin Ruotang ignored him, went into her office and closed the door.
Wei Sheng didn't have the heart to complain about Lin Ruotang anymore. He returned to the office and prepared to use his connections to find out who was on the undercover investigation team.
On the other side, when Xie Wuwei arrived at Chen's house, he heard shocking news.
