Chapter 83 Catching People During Meals
Chapter 83 Catching People During Meals
Qu Ning was busy; he had to help the section chief write the case closure report.
The section chief was not willing to wait for such a good opportunity to show his face; he would report to the old man tomorrow.
"Thank you, Section Chief Qu. Let's go."
Su Yuncheng didn't stand on ceremony and left with Wei Changfeng and the others. Qu Ning opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't say anything.
Qu Ning wanted to ask Su Yuncheng if he wanted to say hello to the section chief before leaving, but the other party clearly had no such intention. Qu Ning's question was superfluous and might even embarrass the section chief.
"This is the place."
Upon reaching the intersection, Su Yuncheng pointed to the restaurant that was still open.
"Mr. Pu, the section chief asked me to take you to a nice place. This place is too shabby. Let's go to a fancy restaurant."
Wei Changfeng laughed, while Su Yuncheng shook his head: "It's too late today, all the big hotels are closed, let's just leave it here."
This is Su Yuncheng's target. Even if the grand hotel hadn't closed, he would have found a reason not to go.
"Okay, then we'll stay here for now. We'll take you to a fancy hotel another day."
After hesitating for a moment, Wei Changfeng nodded. What Su Yuncheng said was true. Large restaurants did close earlier, while small restaurants, since they were mostly their own businesses, usually closed later.
"Gentlemen, what would you like to eat?"
Upon seeing them, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up. Su Yuncheng sensed from his emotions that the shopkeeper recognized them.
Or rather, to know some of them.
"You've prepared five tables of your best dishes for us? Do you even have that much food?"
Wei Changfeng asked with concern, "The restaurant isn't big, and I'm worried we won't have enough food. If we don't, I'll have to ask the other brothers to just eat whatever they have, but I'll make sure Mr. Pu is well taken care of."
"That's enough, absolutely enough. I'll have the waiter get some more dishes from other restaurants."
The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly; he did recognize some of the people—they were all from the Special Service.
The fact that the secret service personnel suddenly came out so late, coupled with the fact that many cars went out today, means they must have a mission.
Important information can be obtained through their chats.
Even if there isn't enough food, he'll find a way to buy it at a high price rather than let these people leave.
He was here to gather intelligence on the Special Service, and having people from the Special Service come to eat was the best way for him to collect information.
He wasn't worried about his performance being questioned; five tables of customers meant big business, and no restaurant would give up on that easily.
"That's good, get ready quickly."
Wei Changfeng was relieved. The restaurant really didn't have enough food. The manager told the waiter to get some food from other restaurants so that they could satisfy these few tables of guests no matter what.
"Why are you making so many dishes so late?"
A chubby man came out; he was the restaurant's chef.
Are you going to do it or not?
The shopkeeper glared at him, and the chubby man didn't dare to say anything more. He immediately returned to the kitchen to prepare the dishes.
Prepare the dishes that are already in stock, and replenish them when the waiter returns.
Su Yuncheng glanced at the chef.
The chef was fine; his emotions were mostly dissatisfaction, but he didn't show any abnormality when looking at them.
"Mr. Pu, you're amazing! How did you come up with this idea for weddings?"
Wei Changfeng, accompanied by several team leaders, sat at a table with Su Yuncheng and excitedly asked, "What are you doing?" Su Yuncheng noticed that the innkeeper, seemingly busy, was actually eavesdropping on their conversation.
Fortunately, Wei Changfeng was a team leader and didn't explain the reason; he was just asking, and he knew to keep it a secret.
"You've investigated everything you needed to. The Japanese spy must be in a place you haven't investigated. You've checked all the units, so he must be hiding somewhere else. I just happened to discover their problems, so I just followed that line of thought and that's how I found him."
Su Yuncheng's voice was not loud, and he immediately sensed that the shopkeeper had glanced at him. He was shocked and angry.
The shopkeeper heard what he said and was angry, while Su Yuncheng was happy.
His identity is completely certain; he is a Japanese spy.
It's most likely the Special Higher Police again; they're truly omnipresent. I just don't know how long the two of them have been lurking here, or how much intelligence they've gathered.
Wei Changfeng is very lucky; he caught two more today.
"Mr. Pu, please keep your voice down."
Wei Changfeng hurriedly reminded him that there were restaurant staff here, and he was very vigilant about keeping secrets.
"We've caught him. He wasn't even online. Even if he's offline, he can't escape. It's okay."
The action team has already gone to arrest his subordinates, while the intelligence team has sent a small team from Groups Two and Three respectively.
Group One had already made a great contribution, and Qu Ning couldn't let Groups Two and Three come away empty-handed, so he sent them to catch the lower-level members and get some benefits.
The shopkeeper's emotions fluctuated even more, and he even wanted to leave.
The shopkeeper was indeed shocked. One of their people had been arrested, and another of his subordinates was in danger. His instinct told him to go and report the news.
However, he didn't make any rash moves. He was currently unaware of the specifics and didn't even know who had been arrested.
Moreover, since the offline information has already been exposed, it's probably too late for him to notify them.
Leaving at will could actually put you in danger.
He wanted to listen further, confirm the intelligence, and then report back tomorrow.
"You're right, I'll definitely toast you properly later, you're really amazing."
Wei Changfeng flattered him, saying that although it was only one case, Su Yuncheng's performance today had impressed him.
The whole process was very calm, and even after finding the person, there was no fanfare.
He admitted he couldn't be so nonchalant; if he found the person, he'd probably jump for joy.
Unfortunately, Mr. Pu was not a member of their Special Service Department. If he had joined, it would have been a great asset to them.
"The food is here."
Before long, the innkeeper brought out the stir-fried dishes and several jugs of fine wine for each table.
The waiter who went to borrow vegetables quickly returned with a cart and helped wash the vegetables. The shopkeeper also went to help. Su Yuncheng noticed that there were only the three of them in the entire shop.
Su Yuncheng didn't say much after that, and took them out for a meal and drinks.
"Don't drink too much, or you'll mess things up."
Not long after they started, Su Yuncheng suddenly said something, and Wei Changfeng was taken aback. He hurriedly instructed, "Everyone, drink less."
He didn't understand why Su Yuncheng said that; the case was already closed, and there was nothing to delay.
He really wanted to have a good drink with his brothers today; they'd been under a lot of pressure lately and were exhausted every day.
Without Su Yuncheng, and without finding anyone, it's unclear how the Director would punish them.
"Yes, team leader."
The people at the other tables were a bit disappointed, but since Su Yuncheng had spoken, no one dared to drink much more.
Su Yuncheng wasn't in a hurry. He couldn't drink too much alcohol, because he still needed to arrest people later. How could he arrest people if he drank too much?
We'll let them have a proper drink another time when we have the chance.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Wei Changfeng took the initiative to pay the bill.
Upon reaching the doorway, a gust of wind instantly sobered Su Yuncheng up completely; he hadn't drunk much.
"Mr. Pu, where do you live? I'll take you home."
"No rush. Take your men and arrest everyone in the store and bring them back. Be careful, they might have weapons."
Su Yuncheng shook his head and whispered, "Grab people? People in the shop?" Wei Changfeng's eyes widened immediately.
Why?
The food at this restaurant is pretty good. He doesn't know when it opened, but after eating there today, he's thinking of coming back again sometime. Now, should we arrest them?
"Be careful, go ahead."
Su Yuncheng did not explain. Wei Changfeng remembered the instructions his section chief had given him before: Mr. Pu's orders were the section chief's orders and had to be carried out.
That statement hasn't been taken back yet.
