Chapter 78 Arrest of Jia Dongxu

The next day, Gao Xiaosheng and Li Shuguo were eager to get to work as soon as they started, wishing that noon would pass in the blink of an eye.

Finally, the lunch break bell rang, and Li Shuguo sprinted towards the third canteen at top speed, while Gao Xiaosheng ran to the dormitory and grabbed a towel that looked relatively clean and stuffed it into his pocket.

Distractedly picking at his food, Li Shuguo whispered a reminder: "Brother Sheng, Jia Dongxu is here."

"You wait here, I'll go report to the section chief." Gao Xiaosheng wiped his mouth and walked along the wall towards the office.

"Section Chief, Jia Dongxu is about to leave through the gate. Should we follow him?"

""

Zhou Jiasheng shook his head. "No rush, we'll set off in ten minutes."

Gao Xiaosheng and Li Shuguo smoked a cigarette to kill time and chatted for a while before they saw Section Chief Zhou gesturing to them from afar.

"Old Li, I'm leaving."

""

Gao Xiaosheng rubbed his hands together excitedly.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, there will be at least a dozen or twenty people waiting in the detention room that afternoon for him to fleece them one by one.

Even if everyone slaps you twice, you can still accumulate enough for three or four ten-pulls today.

After the two set off, Zhou Jiasheng arranged for the armed officers to leave the factory area in twos and threes. Within minutes, only one gatekeeper remained at his post in the entire steel rolling mill.

After taking a detour to reach the grove, Gao Xiaosheng and Li Shuguo stopped and waited for the others.

"Five, eight, twelve."

""

"Me, Brother Sheng, the section chief has transferred all the people here, fifteen people in total including the two of us."

,

"Even those who were on night shift yesterday were not missed."

Li Shuguo was even more excited than Gao Xiaosheng.

"Everyone's here. Gao Xiaosheng and Li Shuguo, you two lead the way. Remember to give the stop signal when you see Jia Dongxu."

Zhou Jiasheng glanced at Gao Xiaosheng's Mauser pistol slung across his shoulder, nodded slightly, and spoke.

Despite his constant reminders to Gao Xiaosheng that these gamblers were all steel mill workers, no one could guarantee that there wouldn't be any unexpected incidents during the arrest.

The fact that Gao Xiaosheng remembered to bring the gun from the drawer shows that he did not underestimate this operation and attached great importance to it.

Of course, apart from Li Shuguo, who was empty-handed, all the other armed officers were fully armed, each carrying a "mixed-nationality" rifle.

Although the Type 53 rifle has been mass-produced, new firearms are always prioritized for deployment to front-line troops.

The security department could only scavenge old equipment such as Type 38 rifles, American M1903 rifles, and Chiang Kai-shek rifles that had been replaced by the troops.

"yes.

""

Gao Xiaosheng and Li Shuguo agreed and turned to clear the way.

Zhou Jiasheng, accompanied by twelve armed officers, followed at a distance.

Upon reaching the edge of the woods, Gao Xiaosheng raised his hand to signal a stop, and he and Li Shuguo each hid behind a tree trunk, quietly waiting for Jia Dongxu.

Two or three minutes later, Jia Dongxu appeared in the distance, looking around as he slowly walked towards the woods.

"Come here and let me release the water, come here and let me release the water," Gao Xiaosheng prayed incessantly.

Based on yesterday's pattern, if Jia Dongxu is just passing through the woods, he will usually turn around when he is about 30 meters away.

At this distance, a sneak attack is not impossible, but the risk is quite high. If you make even the slightest sound of footsteps, Jia Dongxu might turn around at any moment.

Taking action in the woods is a different story.

The closer the distance, the softer the soil, and the higher the success rate.

Whether it was Gao Xiaosheng's sincere prayers that moved the Five Immortals of the Northeast, or the daily habit of watering the trees that had become so ingrained, Jia Dongxu actually walked over after pausing for a few seconds near the woods.

Once inside the woods, Jia Dongxu carefully selected a large tree that seemed to have a connection with him, then loosened his belt and whistled to provide background music for the water release process.

Gao Xiaosheng crept up behind Jia Dongxu, slowly took out a towel from his pocket, and approached step by step.

"Whoosh whoosh"

Just as Jia Dongxu was trembling uncontrollably, enjoying the feeling of relaxation, Gao Xiaosheng rushed up behind him and pressed a towel tightly to his mouth.

Li Shuguo took two quick steps, controlled Jia Dongxu's arm from the side, and then kicked him in the shinbone.

Gao Xiaosheng pushed him, and the two of them together pinned Jia Dongxu to the ground.

As Jia Dongxu chirped, Gao Xiaosheng stuffed half of the towel into his mouth.

With both arms restrained and his back pinned down by two knees on either side, Jia Dongxu's struggles were futile.

The two kicking feet actually helped loosen the soil in the woods.

Bring it back quickly.

""

Zhou Jiasheng led the others out of the woods, and as he passed Gao Xiaosheng, he whispered a word of advice to him.

"Behave yourself." Gao Xiaosheng felt Jia Dongxu biting his right hand through the towel and threatened him in a deep voice.

Upon recognizing Gao Xiaosheng's voice, Jia Dongxu seemed to realize what was happening. He not only opened his mouth and stopped struggling, but also resigned himself to his fate and slumped over.

Li Shuguo pulled out the belt that Jia Dongxu had made from strips of cloth and quickly tied his hands together.

Once everything was in order, the two men pulled Jia Dongxu up, with Gao Xiaosheng's right hand still pressed against his mouth.

"Walk.

""

"Mmm."

Jia Dongxu cooperated readily, nodding and mumbling as Li Shuguo pushed him into the woods.

After a long while, Gao Xiaosheng finally pulled the towel out of Jia Dongxu's mouth.

"Cough, cough cough"

"Gao, Gao Xiaosheng, what...what did you use to gag me?"

Jia Dongxu bent over and coughed for a long time before looking at Gao Xiaosheng with a look of disgust.

"Let me see, isn't this the towel I use to wipe my feet?" Li Shuguo said, peeking out.

That's it, not only did Jia Dongxu feel nauseous, but Gao Xiaosheng also felt disgusted and quickly stuffed the towel into Li Shuguo's arms.

The towel was indeed draped over Li Shuguo's bed, but who would have thought it was for wiping his feet?

"Familiar, isn't it? It's the same detention room as last time."

"A dozen minutes later, Jia Dongxu sat down in the interrogation chair, and Gao Xiaosheng stood beside him and teased him."

"Familiar, familiar"

"Why are you arresting me? I didn't gamble."

Having weathered the brief period of tension, Jia Dongxu seemed to have regained his courage and looked at Gao Xiaosheng, questioning him.

"Yes, you didn't gamble, but you acted as a lookout for them, so you're an accomplice."

"Quickly confess how many people were involved in the gambling, who organized it, and when it started."

""

Given Section Chief Zhou's reminder, Gao Xiaosheng didn't slap him directly.

Moreover, Jia Dongxu was just a minor member of the gambling gang. Once the gamblers returned, there would be no shortage of people to gamble with.

"I don't know," Jia Dongxu said, looking completely bewildered.

"Bang!"

"You're asking for it, aren't you? You'll only tell the truth if I slap you a few times."

"Gao Xiaosheng slapped the back of the chair, scaring Jia Dongxu so much that his face turned pale."

"I...I really don't know."

""

"No, I have a rough idea of ​​the number of people. Sometimes there are a dozen or so, and sometimes there are twenty-three or twenty-four."

""

"As for the rest, I really don't know."

Jia Dongxu stared at the hand waving back and forth in front of him, tilting his head back as far as possible to get away from the source of danger.

This is the hand that beat my master's square face so badly that it took half a month for the swelling to go down. He doesn't want to be treated the same way.
