After listening to the report, Ning Zhiyuan frowned.
This area is densely populated, with at least a hundred households within a radius of thirty meters.
If the search relies on manual labor, Gao Kejian must be consulted to mobilize more police forces, cordon off the entire block, and conduct a thorough search door to door.
The problem is that by the time everything is ready, the rebels have already moved the radio station, and Gao Kejian cannot agree to this.
Ning Zhiyuan was somewhat in a dilemma.
At this time, Chen Yan came over in a hurry: "Vice Captain Ning, the driver told me that when he just came in, he saw someone squatting on the roof. I suspect that that person was the person in charge of guarding the enemy station."
If you stand from a high position, you will see farther.
Ning Zhiyuan immediately asked: "Which rooftop?"
Chen Yan said: "Xiaoxiangyuan Restaurant."
Ning Zhiyuan said nothing and strode toward Xiaoxiang Garden.
Qi Yue followed closely with his people.
The business in Xiaoxiang Garden is still slow, with no sign of improvement. It is dinner time now, and there are only two tables of customers in the store.
Zhao Zhenhai asked: "Who is the boss? Come out!"
Boss Wang, wearing an apron around his waist, came out of the back kitchen, wiped his hands with a rag and came forward: "I'm the boss. What do you guys want?"
"police."
Zhao Zhenhai showed his ID.
Boss Wang didn't understand the situation and didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Ning Zhiyuan asked: "Who was on the roof just now?"
Boss Wang said: "Oh, there is smoke coming out of the chimney. I'll ask the guy to go up and let it out."
Qi Yue said: "Call the guy out!"
Boss Wang agreed and shouted to the chef: "Ah Fu, come out!"
He couldn't help but take another look at Qi Yue: "This police officer looks kind-hearted..."
Qi Yue said calmly: "I must be nice, my family lives nearby."
Boss Wang looked suddenly enlightened.
"Uncle, what do you want from me?"
The boy, Ah Fu, had soot all over his face.
Boss Wang said: "The police officer has something to ask you."
Ah Fu looked a little dull, looking at everyone with a blank expression.
Ning Zhiyuan asked: "What did you do on the roof?"
Ah Fu said: "It went through the chimney."
The agent went to the back of the house and whispered to Ning Zhiyuan: "There is indeed a bamboo pole. It is black and must be used to penetrate the chimney."
Ning Zhiyuan was noncommittal, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, looking at Boss Wang up and down.
Boss Wang said: "Officer, if there's nothing else, I'll ask Ah Fu to wash up..."
"Where do you live?"
Ning Zhiyuan suddenly asked.
"Go to the street later."
Boss Wang turned around and pointed blankly.
Ning Zhiyuan asked again: "How far is Houtang Street from Xiaoxiang Garden?"
Boss Wang hesitated for a moment: "Well, it's about thirty or fifty meters away."
Ning Zhiyuan said: "Take us there."
Boss Wang said with a smile: "Officer, you see I'm busy here. I'm waiting for dinner..."
"I don't want to listen to nonsense, take us there!"
Ning Zhiyuan's expression changed.
Qi Yue knew that Ning Zhiyuan still had not dispelled his suspicion.
Boss Wang's residence is nearby. If he has a problem, his friend Ah Fu may be secretly keeping watch under the guise of looking through the chimney.
Boss Wang took off his apron, threw it to Ah Fu who was standing aside, and said, "Why are you just standing there? Change into clean clothes and come out to greet the guests!"
Ah Fu agreed and quickly entered the kitchen.
Coming out of Xiaoxiang Garden, Boss Wang led the way and walked back down the street.
The so-called back street is actually only separated by a small road and an ordinary house. The door of the courtyard is ajar. On the surface, nothing unusual can be seen.
Including Qi Yue, a group of people entered the courtyard.
There are two rows of cured bacon hanging in the shade of the yard. When the breeze blows over, you can smell the unique salty smell of bacon.
As soon as the door opened, a woman came out of the house with great difficulty carrying a large wooden basin. In the basin were washed clothes, which she seemed to be taking out to dry.
Boss Wang took a few steps and said, "Don't be afraid, the police will come and take a look at your home."
Ning Zhiyuan said: "Qi Yue, you are responsible for searching the wing room, and I am responsible for searching the main room."
Qi Yue nodded and said: "Zhao Zhenhai, you two come with me!"
When he glanced out of the corner of his eye, he saw the woman and Boss Wang whispering something.
Boss Wang immediately said: "Officer, please be careful and don't damage the furniture. My guest said that if you damage it, you will have to pay for it."
Zhao Zhenhai chuckled: "Don't worry, His Majesty the Emperor will compensate you."
The agents rummaged around the room.
A radio is very large and there are not many places to hide it.
There were sundries everywhere in the wing, and there were bags of grain in the corner. The owner must have used it as a warehouse. There was a table by the window, covered with old newspapers, and bacon stacked up and down.
The bacon is tied with hemp rope.
This is to facilitate air drying.
Qi Yue hooked his fingers on the hemp rope, picked up a piece of bacon and looked at it.
Boss Wang stood at the door. When he saw this, he immediately said: "Police officer, the bacon made by my guest is delicious. If you don't mind it, take two back and try it."
"You are quite generous."
Qi Yue put the bacon back.
Boss Wang said: "We are all neighbors, and two pieces of bacon are not worth much."
Qi Yue thought for a while: "Why don't you take out these bacon to dry?"
Boss Wang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "There is no place to hang up, so I will put it here for now..."
A special agent ran into the yard and shouted: "Vice Captain Ning, there's a situation!"
Ning Zhiyuan came out of the main room: "What's wrong?"
"The brother in charge of security said that someone was carrying a box and heading west!"
"What kind of box?"
"It's too far to see clearly, but it should be no problem to install a radio."
"How many people are there on the other side?"
"two."
"Everyone follow me!"
Ning Zhiyuan hurried out of the yard.
Worried that the rebels would move the radio station, he sent people to occupy the commanding heights and monitor the entire street.
Boss Wang's house didn't find anything unusual. Now that there's new information, there's no need to search anymore.
Besides, Ah Fu's decision to go up to the roof to unblock the chimney was reasonable and there was nothing wrong with it.
…
To the west is Huaihua Lane.
Huaihua Lane is not just one alley.
This area is a residential area, and the dozen or so alleys are collectively called Huaihua Alley.
Ning Zhiyuan and Qi Yue discussed it. They each took their men and surrounded them from both sides. As soon as they saw someone carrying a large box, they would immediately capture it on the spot!
The sky gradually darkened.
People are coming and going on the street.
I arrested two people carrying large boxes, but no radio station was found.
Soon, No. 14 Huaihua Lane was found.
When passing the courtyard gate, Zhao Zhenhai said: "Officer Qi, I heard from the people in the General Affairs Department that after a while, Corey is going to install a telephone in your home for free. No charge will be made. Oh, it's not just your home. Police Lieutenant
Levels and above are installed in every home..."
He stopped and looked at the courtyard in surprise.
In the yard, a little girl, Dangdang, was squatting on the ground teasing the black girl.
