Chapter 1189: Taking action overnight
It was too late to report this emergency to Zhoushan Island. Lin Nan immediately sent people to various places to notify the field team to gather here at Mihang and prepare to take action overnight. He has a field team of more than ten people under him. They usually hide in Hangzhou as various shop assistants, craftsmen, etc. They will only be summoned before taking action. Among them were Gong Shiqi's men who stayed in Zhejiang, and Lin Nan's old men brought over from Hainan, all of whom were considered experts. However, Lin Si and Pan Yan had never participated in such operations, and they didn't know what to do from there. Where to start, I can only follow Lin Nan's arrangements.
Lin Nan did not act arbitrarily, and asked the two for advice: "Now the clues have fallen on the woman in Bichun Garden. Do you have any way to take her out of the garden without leaving a trace?"
< br>
Pan Yan looked at Lin Si next to him, and replied in a deep voice: "When I was leaving, I specifically asked if I could take them out to spend the night. The girl who was serving me said that it would not be easy, and it would definitely not be possible for strangers. The boss won’t let him go either.”
After Lin Nan listened, his eyes turned to Lin Si. Seeing both of them staring at her blankly, Lin Si quickly waved her hands and said: "Don't think that I am a regular customer. In fact, I have only been to that place twice. I thought the environment was quite good, so I introduced him to Pan." Master. Otherwise, try to offer a higher price, and maybe the boss will let me go.”
"If it can be solved with money, it can save a lot of trouble." Lin Nan nodded and said: "But if you can't bring the person out, then you can only rob him!"
Lin Nan has rich experience in field missions and will not place all his hopes on normal means to solve problems. Just in case, the field team must still prepare for action in advance. In addition, a secluded place needs to be prepared in the city in advance to interrogate the informed policeman. The most important thing for them right now is time. If it is delayed until after tomorrow, the government may have the opportunity to intervene in the matter, and that is definitely not a situation they want to see.
"I'm afraid it's inappropriate for the three of us to come forward in this matter. We have to find another candidate." Pan Yan added.
Pan Yan's words indeed pointed out a big problem at present. It can be said that his and Lin Si's identities are semi-public. If they take away this woman, Bichun Garden will definitely report it to the police when they find that the person is missing. It was easy to trace it to Fengsheng Rice Store. Lin Nan's identity is basically shady. If he shows up to do this, it will be difficult for him to lurk in Hangzhou city in the future. But the problem is to find a new face to go to Bichun Garden. Even if you can afford the price, you may not be able to successfully bring the person out.
Lin Nan's people were still very efficient. Within half an hour, they came to Mihang one after another to gather. However, probably because of the influence of hiding their identity, this group of people obviously have the characteristics of the people at the bottom of society. If they want to choose a member with a more decent temperament and appearance, they can pretend to be an upper class person and go to Bichun Garden to steal Cui'e. Bringing it out doesn't seem to be easy.
But if you want to kidnap someone, not to mention whether there will be conflicts in the process, it will be troublesome just to find Cui'e among the many women in Bichun Garden. None of their group knew what this person looked like or where he lived in the park, so they could only try to find out the information after arriving at the scene.
"I'd better try the first method first. If it doesn't work, I'll do it later in the night!" Lin Nan knew that the matter could not be delayed and must be dealt with tonight, so he made a decisive decision at that moment.
So he selected a member with a relatively fair complexion from among Lin Nan's men, put on a full set of clothes provided by Lin Si, and acted as a foreign wealthy businessman who came to Hangzhou to do business. Although his speech and behavior were not very qualified, he could not find a better candidate to complete this task in a hurry.
It was getting late at this time, and although preparations were not complete, there was no time to waste any more. Lin Nan immediately organized everyone to go out separately, leaving Lin Si behind in Mihang to coordinate, while Pan Yan volunteered to accompany Lin Nan. action. After leaving Mihang, Lin Nan took Pan Yan into a black-covered carriage on the roadside. As soon as the two sat down in the carriage, the coachman urged the horse to start.
Pan Yan couldn't help but ask: "Brother Lin, if this matter is not handled smoothly enough, will Zhoushan be blamed?"
Lin Nan glanced at him sideways and responded in a deep voice: "Whether the process goes smoothly or not is not the most important, as long as the results can be explained to the leaders. As long as we can solve the matter satisfactorily, even if there are some extraordinary actions , the superiors will not blame you.”
Pan Yan didn't know what constituted an outrageous move, but he had participated in the previous actions, so he naturally knew what kind of exaggerated measures Haihan had taken in his previous actions. If the Zhejiang government found out the truth, it would definitely be They broke up and started a war. And no matter how many people in the Ministry of Security do whatever they want, it should not exceed the level of the previous military actions. If Haihan didn't want all the previous efforts to be in vain, he would have to try his best to make the remedial measures watertight.
After the field team arrived near Bichun Garden in batches, the member pretending to be a high-roller entered the garden with two followers, while Lin Nan and Pan Yan continued to wait on the carriage. If the person can be brought out successfully, he will be put into the car and rushed to the prepared interrogation location.
Although they had already told the member a lot of things to pay attention to, both Lin Nan and Pan Yan were still worried about whether their acting skills were up to standard. If we delay for too long, when the night ban in the city begins, it will not be easy to take people away even if we get them out.
The curfew time in Hangzhou City is that the evening drum is sounded at 3 o'clock in the morning and travel is prohibited. The curfew can only be lifted after the morning bell is rung at 5 o'clock in the morning. And now the first watch day has passed. For the field team, there is not much time left for them to act.
However, the group that entered Bichun Garden came out faster than expected, but the three of them went in and came out still three people, and they did not bring out the target person. When the team leader went to the carriage to explain what was going on inside, Lin Nan and Pan Yan looked at each other and were speechless for a long time.
It turned out that the Cui'e they were looking for was no longer in the garden. She had just been picked up not long ago. Calculating the time, it should be after Pan Yan left here. However, the man who went in was considered smart. He spent five taels of silver and bought a piece of useful information - the man who picked up Cui'e at night was Han Zhengshan, the head catcher of the Hangzhou government office.
"Brother Lin, is this person difficult to deal with?" Pan Yan took the initiative to ask him when he saw Lin Nan's serious expression. Lin Nan nodded and said: "This is the person who arrested the head of the Hangzhou government office in the fire case earlier."
Pan Yan thought: "Could it be that he was the man I heard talking to Cui'e before? Then he has gone and come back, and he can't even wait for this night!"
Lin Nan said: "Whether the person you heard at that time was him or not, we have to go to his residence."
Whether Han Zhengshan is still investigating the fire case is secondary to Lin Nan. The most important thing now is to quickly find Cui'e, take out useful information from her mouth, find the witness, and cut off this witness. clues. Of course, if Cui'e had informed Han Zhengshan of what she knew, then Lin Nan wouldn't mind dealing with one more person in order to keep the secret.
Since the Tongsheng Pier fire incident, Han Zhengshan's life has been very difficult. He was the first arrester responsible for investigating the case. Almost all the pressure of the early investigation was concentrated on him. All the evidence pointed to the Ming army. However, he had no authority to investigate the army at all. Moreover, because his boss, Hangzhou Tongtan Wang Yuan, had direct interests involved, he did not want Han Zhengshan to make any discoveries that were detrimental to Haihan, which more or less hindered the investigation work.
Although the deterioration of the situation caused by the case soon attracted the attention of the top management, and Jin Yiwei, who was investigating the world and investigating the ground, was also asked to join the investigation, the arrival of Jin Yiwei did not make his investigation work much smoother. On the contrary, the two sides lacked communication due to Jin Yiwei was only tasked with investigating the army, so the subsequent investigation progress was very slow. At this time, the Haihan Army was approaching the city, and a large number of people poured into Hangzhou City to take refuge. All government officials were sent to the streets to maintain public order, making his investigation work unsustainable.
Of course, neither Han Zhengshan nor the arrogant Jin Yiwei could find out the truth about the fire case in the end. Although the government and the Haihan people finally reached a settlement through negotiation, Han Zhengshan, who was responsible for investigating the case, did not feel relieved, but felt very aggrieved. He knew that there were a lot of weird things in this case, but due to the detection methods and pressure from above, it was difficult to investigate clearly the causes and consequences.
Although the case has been closed in name, both parties have signed an agreement in a decent manner, and the government has handed over the "murderer" to Haihan, but Han Zhengshan has not completely given up on the investigation of the fire, and plans to slowly find the truth of the case . However, he also knows that the senior officials above may not all want the truth of the case to come to light. If they realize that he is still pursuing the case, they may try to obstruct his investigation. Moreover, the longer it goes by, the less and less effective evidence becomes available, so Han Zhengshan can only slowly sort out the facts of the case, hoping to find something.
Perhaps due to fate, Han Zhengshan actually obtained important information from seemingly innocent channels. His good friend Cui'e of Bichun Garden, whom he had not visited for a long time, actually had someone bring the news, suggesting that there was information about the fire case. supply. So Han Zhengshan hurried to Bichun Garden, pulled Cui'e to an unmanned corner and asked, and finally paid 150 taels of silver to buy the "eyewitness" identity information Cui'e said. In fact, Han Zhengshan had already interviewed most of the people who had been in and out of Tongsheng Pier that day, but he did not receive much valuable information. He could only hope that this witness was a missing part of the investigation at that time.
Han Zhengshan had originally agreed with Cui'e to go find her the next day, but after returning to his residence, he felt uneasy and always felt that something was going to happen. He immediately returned to Bichun Garden and took Cui'e out. With his status, Bichunyuan would not be in trouble, but Han Zhengshan didn't know that he had already caused trouble.
The place where Han Zhengshan lives is less than half a mile away from the Zhejiang government office. It is a small courtyard with a single family. He lost his wife in his early years and had no heirs, and has been a bachelor ever since. He was the only one who lived in this small courtyard on weekdays, so to facilitate conversation, he brought Cui'e back here.
In front of Cui'e, Han Zhengshan took out a wooden box from the bedroom closet, opened the box and counted eighteen pieces of silver from inside: "Here is one hundred and eighty taels of silver. The identity of the person who witnessed the truth about the fire." , say it quickly!”
When Cui'e saw the white silver, she didn't care what he said and just reached out to touch the silver. Han Zhengshan clawed her hand away: "Let's talk about the business first, and then get the money!"
Cui'e's face immediately put on a very professional smile: "The master took the little girl out, and it's not like he will go back after saying a few words. It's a long night, are you afraid that you won't have time to talk about business?"
< br>
Seeing the charming look on her face, Han Zhengshan knew that this woman wanted to complete his overnight business as well, so the extra charge was a penny. However, when I brought someone out from Bichun Garden, I was originally billed as staying overnight. No matter how I spent the night, I still had to pay for the overnight stay.
"You little bitch, you are really dishonest!" Han Zhengshan also relaxed at this time, thinking that there is no rush to handle the case anyway. At this moment, he will ask about the situation later, leave Cui'e at home, and go there overnight. Just take someone.
The two of them had hooked up in the past, and Han Zhengshan was considered a regular customer of Cui'e. Both of them were familiar with each other, so they didn't have any worries. They just took off their clothes and got into bed.
While the two men were messing around in the dark, the Haihan Special Service Team also hurried over from Bichun Garden. Lin Nan had no other way out and could only lead the team to find Han Zhengshan. He couldn't even confirm whether this was a trap deliberately set by the other party, waiting for him to fall into the trap, but now that the situation was urgent, there was no time for him to slowly implement the situation before taking action. Although Lin Nan had a lot of experience in performing field tasks, he was so nervous that he broke into a cold sweat in the cold winter night. If he made a mistake in his judgment, all the people in the field team might be lost in Hangzhou.
The field team has been lurking in Hangzhou for a long time, and has already clearly investigated the residences of these government officials, so Lin Nan does not have to improvise and now goes to find Han Zhengshan's address. It was already two o'clock in the morning, and Lin Nan was calculating the distance. He was afraid that after going to Han Zhengshan's house, he would not have enough time to get back to Fengsheng Rice Shop or another alternative location. Plans are not as fast as changes. For the current plan, we can only take one step at a time.
