The Bravest

Chapter 173 Unified Investigation Operation

When Liu Ruyan and her team rushed to the office building, Michiko had already taken control of the two-story building.

In addition to the manager in charge and his two bodyguards, there were also two accountants in the building. They had been detained in an office by Michiko, waiting for Lin Jie's processing.

After hearing the explosion in the warehouse, these people wanted to escape, but they didn't expect that Xiao Zhang, a subordinate of Michiko, had already surrounded the downstairs with two teams and then retreated to the second floor.

After Michiko arrived, she led the team to attack. When the submachine gun fired, the people above did not dare to resist at all and simply dropped their weapons and surrendered.

When Liu Ruyan arrived, Michiko was in the manager's office, leisurely making tea.

"Sister Ruyan, you are too slow. You don't get any credit this time."

"Humph, you just have more people and more equipment, right? What's so great about that?"

Liu Ruyan said unconvincedly that she had just killed someone and her aura was different. Without waiting for Michiko to call her, she sat down on the sofa.

"Haha, I have a lot of people because my brothers are willing to follow me. We have good equipment, but we earned it ourselves. What about you?"

Michiko had long seen that this so-called secretary was definitely having an affair with Lin Jie. Looking at Liu Ruyan's overly young face, Michiko felt unhappy, so she made a few sarcastic remarks.

Liu Ruyan was speechless after being scolded by Michiko. She could only bite the bullet and reluctantly replied: "I will have all these in the future."

The two looked at each other and didn't speak for a while.

"What's going on?" Lin Jie walked into the office and found that something seemed to be wrong between his two women.

"Honey, we found the things. They are all in this secret room."

Michiko saw Lin Jie come in, stood up, and pulled Lin Jie to an antique display cabinet.

Michiko twisted the vase on the far left, then gently pushed the antique shelf to the left. The shelf moved halfway, revealing the wall behind it.

"Look, honey, this is the door to the secret room." Michiko pointed to the gap in the wall and asked Lin Jie to look. Then she pushed it inward, revealing the dark secret room.

Michiko reached into the secret room door, fumbled around, and turned on the light: "Honey, nothing inside has been moved. We're just waiting for you to come."

Michiko hugged Lin Jie's arm and acted like a little girl, asking for credit from Lin Jie. Liu Ruyan, who was following behind, got goose bumps all over her body when she heard this.

Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes and cursed in her heart, "Michiko, this old woman, is so shameless as to pretend to be young. No wonder she doesn't like me. It turns out she is jealous of my youth. Humph."

Lin Jie ignored the secret rivalry between the two women and bent down to enter the secret room, which was less than ten square meters and had several shelves.

Lin Jie took a look and was extremely excited. There were medicines everywhere, most of which were anti-inflammatory drugs.

Lin Jie left the secret room. He was so excited that he forgot that Liu Ruyan was right beside him. He held Michiko's head and kissed her little mouth several times.

"Ahem, Chief, I'm still here. If you want to kiss you, go home." Liu Ruyan interrupted Lin Jie unhappily.

Although she said that she would not disturb Lin Jie's family, she still felt uncomfortable when Lin Jie kissed another woman in front of her.

"Oh, husband, there are other people here. When we go back tonight, I will let you do whatever you want."

Michiko said this deliberately to demonstrate to Liu Ruyan that she was Lin Jie's family and Liu Ruyan was just someone else.

"Okay, Michiko, go call the people over, pick out half of the things, and bring them back to you. I will need them. Destroy the account book, and don't let Gangcun know about it."

"Hehe, I get it!" Michiko went out with a smile on her face, not looking like she was going to lead an assault at all.

"Lin Jie, can't you be more careful in front of me?" Liu Ruyan angrily slapped Lin Jie's arm.

"Ruyan, are you jealous? You said so yourself. When there were other people around, you treated us as if we had nothing to do with each other. Now you blame me again."

After Lin Jie finished speaking, he pulled Liu Ruyan over and kissed her on the lips.

"Hey, what are you doing? You are so shameless." Liu Ruyan pushed Lin Jie away. Although she was cursing, a smile appeared on her red face.

……

At the same time as Lin Jie was taking action, the whole of Shanghai launched a unified crackdown on smuggling gangs and black market transactions at the same time.

Of course, apart from Lin Jie's jurisdiction, there are also Huang Tianfu and Liu Ziming's jurisdictions, which are serious. Most of the others are just going through the motions and perfunctorily doing things as usual.

However, what they didn't expect was that each team was supervised by people from the gendarmerie or the Special High Police.

The search targets were all predetermined, and they had no right to tip off or do things half-heartedly.

At most, they would arrive at the scene but not work hard, or deliberately make a lot of noise, giving the people with connections the opportunity to escape with gold and medicines, which are small and valuable items.

However, the few who managed to escape were all strong and vigilant. The rest basically could not escape, at least the goods and money that were not hidden well were all searched and taken away by the Japanese.

In addition to the unified action that evening, the Shanghai Police Department and various secret agencies continued to check for contraband items over the next three days.

For a time, all kinds of trading companies in Shanghai were in a panic, and they were trying to use all kinds of connections to redeem people and goods.

"Director Lin, several families have come to me to complain. I hope you can show some leniency and release the people first. As for the matter of the goods, let's sit down and talk slowly!"

The director of the Huangpu Branch, Lao Chen, personally went to the yard of Lin Jie's Inspection Team to discuss with Lin Jie the matter of the materials and personnel seized by Lin Jie.

He, the director general, was just a puppet who was brought forward when the Huangpu Branch was established after all parties fought for it in vain.

The real power of the branch was divided up among the two deputy directors below. One of them, whose surname was Zhang, was in charge of the mobile brigade, which was responsible for public security management.

The other is Lin Jie, who is in charge of the inspection team and is responsible for combating smuggling black market transactions.

This time, Deputy Director Zhang was also secretly dragged into the investigation by Lin Jie. The two men reached an agreement to keep the matter secret from Gang Village. Therefore, the area under the jurisdiction of the Huangpu Branch was the most ruthless in this operation.

"I will definitely give Director Chen face. However, those families are all very wealthy, so it is reasonable for them to pay some money to redeem the people."

Lin Jie said this lightly while making tea for Lao Chen.

"Director Lin, this is not good. The goods are already in your hands, so you don't have to pay to redeem the person!

Wouldn't it be better if we all came out for a meal and resolved the matter in a friendly manner? There's no need to make things so awkward!"

Old Chen cursed in his heart and asked me to give him face. Damn, this guy Lin Jie is so greedy. If he wants to pay money to redeem me, how can I give him face?

"Director Chen, listen to me. You know the current situation. This is a joint order from the Special High Section and the Military Police Headquarters. We can't disobey it. If they don't want to pay, then let them ask the Japanese."

"Lin Jie, don't use the Japanese to pressure me all the time. The Japanese are not doing well now. They will leave sooner or later. I advise you to leave a way out for yourself."

Old Chen was so irritated by Lin Jie that he even said such words. He was also a veteran in this world, but he was not valued because he pretended to obey the Japanese but actually disobeyed them.

Now Lin Jie used the Japanese to suppress him. Even though he was in his forties, he couldn't suppress his anger and his inner thoughts burst out all at once.

"Director Chen, don't say anything careless, it will cause trouble. Besides, the ransom money is not what I want, but what Director Zhang and I left for you.

We are all in the same bureau, so you will definitely have a role to play!"
