Chapter 545 Trapping Jing Yiming
Chapter 545 Trapping Jing Yiming
Mei Ping understood:
"You mean if it's too tight, Jing Yiming won't come out, and we need to give him a chance to appear?"
"Yes, if we don't use nets, how will the fish get in? But there are some risks involved, so we need to make sure the people in plainclothes are alert. The main places are the county government, the historically significant Jiangzhou Anti-Japanese War History Museum, and the Songjiang Bridge, a major transportation hub."
Mei Ping hesitated for a moment.
If the search is neglected now, it could lead to irreparable consequences.
However, if the search is not relaxed, Jing Yiming seems to have vanished from the face of the earth and does not reappear.
If that doesn't work, we'll have to use the method of being loose on the outside but tight on the inside to lure the snake out of its hole.
So, he picked up the phone and spoke with Ju Zhenghua.
Then, following Lu Yao's method, the original militia were withdrawn and replaced with various fortresses outside Jiangzhou City for inspection.
We cannot let this villain escape because of laxity.
Then, plainclothes police and militiamen intensified their checks near major businesses and schools in Jiangzhou.
They also secretly distributed Jing Yiming's photo to various organizations.
This should raise the awareness of the entire working class.
Once you spot this person, call the police immediately.
After she finished the phone call and arranged her work, she was ready to go.
Lu Yao asked, "Sister, I've come to pick up Youxiang."
"No, we can't let her go until we catch Jing Yiming."
"Didn't you say you'd release him after taking his statement?"
Mei Ping gazes at Lu Yao:
"We really can't let them go until we catch them. I hope you can understand my job."
Lu Yao also knew that Mei Ping wanted to get confirmation from Jing Yiming that Jing Youxiang really had not participated in espionage activities before she could release her.
"Can I see her?"
"Sure, it's right next door."
Linghua was sent to Dabei Prison, but Jing Youxiang was left at the Public Security Bureau by Mei Ping.
Half of it was also because of Lu Yao.
Mei Ping relies on Lu Yao for many things, so it's impossible for her not to take his words seriously.
Even if Lu Yao had put in a lot of effort to uncover that Jing Yiming was a spy.
Lu Yao was the first to notice that something was wrong with Jing Yiming.
Therefore, Mei Ping must also respect Lu Yao.
……
Jing Youxiang sat on the single bed.
I didn't sleep all night.
His eyes remained fixed on the clock on the wall.
We were just waiting for dawn.
Lu Yao said he would come to pick him up at dawn.
My father was a Japanese soldier; he ran away.
My mother was also a bad element; she was locked up.
My brother is dead.
Now, Lu Yao is the only person he's truly close to.
As soon as the door opened, Lu Yao came in.
"Ah, you've come!"
Jing Youxiang jumped up, her little mouth twitching as if she was about to cry.
But I held it in.
Last night I told myself countless times to be strong and not to keep crying, because tears can't solve anything.
Lu Yao felt sorry for her when he saw her.
Overnight, he seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and looked haggard and listless.
Come over, hug her, and comfort her.
"Lu Yao, can we go now? I want to see my brother."
"Okay, I'll let Meiping know in a bit. But you'll have to come back after you've finished watching."
"You want me to go to jail?"
"No, I'm here."
Lu Yao tried her best to reassure her not to panic.
I comforted her and then went outside to discuss it with Mei Ping:
"Sister Mei, Youxiang wants to see her brother's body. I'll take her there and promise to bring her back after we're done."
Mei Ping hesitated for a moment.
Finally nodded:
"Okay, I believe you."
Without saying a word, Lu Yao brought Jing Youxiang out.
We drove straight to the funeral home.
Upon arriving there and seeing Jing Dongwei's body, Jing Youxiang inevitably broke down in tears once again.
Finally, Lu Yao carried her out from inside.
This little body looks like it's about to collapse.
In the car, Lu Yao offered another round of comfort.
The two drove back, and it was almost noon.
Suddenly I saw a surge of people ahead.
Many ordinary people fled eastward.
Lu Yao parked the car, rolled down the window, and asked an elderly man, "Sir, what's wrong?"
"I don't know, I just saw everyone running that way, so I followed."
A young man nearby said, "A lot of police officers are riding over there on bicycles, and there are also armed militiamen. Something serious must have happened."
Sure enough, Lu Yao also saw two policemen pedaling their bicycles furiously.
They quickly turned around and headed east.
From afar, you can see that in front of the Jiangzhou Anti-Japanese War History Museum, there are many ordinary people looking up at the excitement.
The police had already set up a cordon a dozen meters away.
This museum, established twenty years ago, is a three-story Soviet-style building with a bright red color.
This is a small building built before liberation. The red brick walls are already dilapidated, and many of the dark red tiles on the sloping roof are broken.
The green paint on the wooden window frame was cracked and peeling, revealing the rotten wood underneath.
At this time, the museums that could be preserved were those containing items from the War of Resistance against Japan.
Many things from the late Qing Dynasty have been lost.
At that moment, a window on the third floor was open.
Inside, a middle-aged man with a bunch of burlap sacks tied around his body was pinning a woman against the windowsill.
He pressed a pistol against the back of the woman's head and kept yelling:
"Anyone who dares to come near, I'll kill her and then detonate the explosives!"
Jing Youxiang exclaimed in astonishment:
"It's Dad, it's my dad!"
Lu Yao also saw it; it was Jing Yiming.
He comforted her, saying, "Don't say anything yet. I'll try to save your father's life."
Jing Youxiang was afraid of ruining things, so she quickly covered her mouth, and tears welled up in her eyes again.
I've probably shed half a pound of tears in the past night and half a day.
He pulled Jing Youxiang and squeezed into the crowd.
We've reached the cordon; there are police and militiamen guarding it.
Lu Yao saw Liu Yongcai in the circle and waved to him, asking:
"Where is Director Mei?"
"On the second floor."
"Can I go in?"
Liu Yongcai nodded: "Okay, you can do it."
With someone they knew leading the way, the guard lifted the ropes binding the police station.
Lu Yao led Jing Youxiang into the second floor of the museum.
Inside, a dozen or so police officers stood ready, armed with submachine guns.
Mei Ping was overjoyed to see Lu Yao arrive:
"Oh, Xiao Lu is here."
Come over and say hello.
It turns out that this method of leaving the net open and waiting for fish worked in just two hours.
As soon as the patrolmen on the street left, plainclothes officers spotted Jing Yiming.
Report this to your superiors immediately.
During the brief delay caused by the report, Jing Yiming arrived at the museum.
Following Mei Ping's instructions, the museum maintained a relaxed exterior but a tight internal management system.
As soon as Jing Yiming entered, he immediately launched a raid to arrest people.
However, they underestimated Jing Yiming's skills.
Four detectives couldn't subdue him. Not only did he break free, but he also grabbed a handgun and rushed up to the second floor.
He took the second-floor manager hostage and brought him up to the third floor.
He locked the security door leading to the third floor.
Then he led the administrator to the window, revealing himself covered in explosives, and threatened to die together with him.
If you don't want to ruin the museum and this female employee, there's one condition: let Lu Yao come.
Mei Ping was at her wit's end.
He tried to negotiate with Jing Yiming at the iron gate but was driven away by Jing Yiming's gun.
He said no one should ever step onto the stairs again, except for Lu Yao.
When they saw Lu Yao arrive, they quickly pulled him aside and asked him to come up with a solution.
Lu Yao couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"He wants to do both the mission and revenge at the same time. If I show up, I'm afraid he'll try to destroy everything in the process."
"What should we do then?"
Lu Yao took the gun off and threw it to Mei Ping:
"I have to handle this myself. I'm going to see him!"
"No, you can't go up there like that! He'll kill you! I heard from Linghua that he's always suspected you. In the end, he still fell for you. How can he let you go!"
At this moment, Jing Youxiang spoke from behind:
"Let me go. I'll persuade Dad to turn himself in."
Mei Ping asked, "Are you confident?"
Jing Youxiang looked at her with a pair of vacant eyes:
"I'll try my best, but I want to ask, will my father be executed?"
Mei Ping will consider this and give an objective answer:
"It depends on what your father has done over the years, and whether anyone has died at his hands."
Jing Youxiang nodded: "Okay, I'll go talk to him."
Lu Yao put his arm around her shoulder: "I'll go up with you."
Mei Ping waved her hand and gave instructions to the surrounding police officers:
"Prepare to break through. Tell the people on the periphery to retreat another twenty meters."
Everyone was on high alert.
Mei Ping's heart was in her throat as she watched Lu Yao carry the weak Jing Youxiang upstairs step by step.
