Chapter 57

Hearing Lu Cheng's words, Lei Zhan'ge's Eagle Eye flickered again.

This young man always seems to bring surprises.

"What bad idea do you have now?"

Lu Cheng gave a wry smile: "Captain Lei, stop looking at me with colored glasses; I also want to join the department."

Lei Zhan'ge nodded slightly: "Wanting to progress is good; young people should have this attitude. Our generation has fought the battles we could fight; the great mission of building the motherland still needs to be entrusted to you, the younger generation."

"Cough, cough, that's getting a bit off-topic. Tell me what good plan you have to catch this enemy spy; if you really can catch him, I'll give you a major merit."

Lu Cheng nodded slightly and said: "Captain Lei, do you know how to do radio transmission?"

Lei Zhan'ge furrowed his brows: "Why are you asking this? I'm from the military; although I'm not a dedicated radio operator, I still know a bit about basic radio transmission."

Lu Cheng sat upright: "That will be enough."

Seeing Lu Cheng's slightly excited expression, Lei Zhan'ge was completely baffled.

"That's right, Captain Lei; this enemy spy previously contacted the delegation via secret radio telegram, which shows the spy knows radio transmission."

Lei Zhan'ge still didn't understand: "That's correct, what's the problem?"

Lu Cheng shifted his posture: "Since our proactive attacks haven't worked, we can completely use radio transmission to lure the enemy spy out, making him reveal himself."

Lei Zhan'ge thought for a moment; although the method had some feasibility, but…

"But where would I find a radio set right now? Besides, the enemy spy doesn't have receiving equipment; your plan simply won't work."

"No, no, Captain Lei, we don't need anything that complicated; we can directly use the simplest method—for example, using finger tapping transmission. If the enemy spy sees it, he will surely pay special attention, and the person staring intently is likely our target."

Lei Zhan'ge listened, his eyes narrowed, his expression turned solemn, looking quite intimidating.

"I understand your meaning; although it's the simplest finger tapping transmission, ordinary civilians can't understand it, only that enemy spy can."

Lu Cheng nodded: "Exactly, Captain Lei; that's what I meant, you're too smart."

Lei Zhan'ge gave a wry smile and shook his head: "You're scolding me, aren't you? If I were really smart, I would have thought of it before you."

"After all, he's a Deputy Department-level cadre; I daren't overstep: I just watched Captain Lei tapping his fingers earlier, which suddenly gave me an idea. Compared to arrest experience, I'm still far behind; I'll need to learn more from Captain Lei in the future."

"For some reason, Lei Zhan'ge usually dislikes hearing flattery; if others say it, he only puts on a stern face and lectures them."

"But hearing the same flattery from Lu Cheng, he actually found it quite pleasant."

Lei Zhan'ge rarely broke into a hearty laugh: "Haha, little comrade, your tongue is still sweet; good, good, your proposal can indeed be tried; I'll now go find Ding Jingzhang to discuss the follow‑up arrangements…"

Lei Zhan'ge was about to rise as he spoke, but Lu Cheng stopped him.

"No need to trouble so many people; I think the two of us are enough."

After Lei Zhan'ge sat down again, he took another look; his Eagle Eye blazed, and he quickly saw through Lu Cheng's little thoughts.

He pointed a finger and said: "Want to take more credit?"

Lu Cheng gave a hehe laugh twice, neither denying nor affirming.

"I think fewer people make things easier; more people just cause chaos. With Captain Lei here, that's enough—you alone can match all of them."

Lei Zhan'ge felt delighted inside; when others say that, he usually doesn't appreciate it, but when this little comrade opens his mouth, he inexplicably feels comfortable.

The reason is simply that Lu Cheng's performance today left him very satisfied.

"Oh dear, little comrade, you can praise someone to the heavens, but what if I don't appreciate it?"

Lu Cheng withdrew his smile: "No problem; then I'll just assume Captain Lei is old—so old that he doesn't even dare to catch a little enemy spy himself, only able to shrink here, disguising himself as a civilian to sneakily observe."

"Are you trying to provoke me?"

"Then I wouldn't dare; I'm just an intern—one word from you, old man, and my job could be gone."

Lei Zhan'ge helplessly shook his head: "Little comrade, your mouth is too formidable! All right, let's just have the two of us act; otherwise, this old man really feels looked down upon by you."

"He is growing fonder of this little comrade; other Train Police wouldn't dare sit down and talk with him up close, and even just seeing him makes them want to keep their distance."

Lu Cheng naturally had his own ideas; wanting to advance, you need to get close to the leaders.

Lei Zhan'ge thought briefly: "How about this: I'll use finger tapping transmission to send information to each carriage, and you observe the surroundings for any suspicious targets."

Lu Cheng rejected that proposal: "I think we should switch; your eyes are like an Eagle Eye—no suspicious move by the enemy spy can escape your gaze, so it's better for you to do the observing."

"But? When you just searched the carriages, you inevitably had your appearance memorized by the enemy spy..."

"No, Captain Lei, I think this is more confusing; it lets him deepen his suspicion, the more so the more uneasy he feels, making his expression more obvious."

Lei Zhan'ge's face remained calm while listening, but his heart was like stormy waves; this young man's ideas always go against the grain.

If that enemy spy knew he had such a formidable opponent as Lu Cheng, he'd probably rather die than take the train.

"Since you mentioned confusing him, I'll teach you how to do finger tapping transmission."

Lei Zhan'ge placed his two fingers on the tabletop and began tapping, sometimes fast, sometimes slow.

After Lu Cheng memorized it, he then asked: "Captain Lei, what does this mean?"

"Please hand over the documents."

Lu Cheng understood; thus, with truth and falsehood intertwined, once the enemy spy sees it, he will both doubt the authenticity of the identity and inevitably hesitate, only becoming more uneasy.

As long as the enemy spy shows the slightest abnormality, he will surely not escape Lei Zhan'ge's Eagle Eye.

To thoroughly confuse the enemy spy, Lu Cheng deliberately dressed as a civilian; this time he prepared to search backward, starting from the rear carriages.

Lu Cheng first entered carriage ten, stood in a spot, and then, following Lei Zhan'ge's earlier finger tapping transmission method, began tapping on the seat backs.

Lei Zhan'ge stood at the carriage connection, holding a newspaper and pretending to read, while in fact every person in the carriage was within his sight.

Lu Cheng performed the finger tapping transmission action twice at the front and rear positions of the carriage, ensuring every direction could be seen.

After finishing, he glanced at the carriage connection; Lei Zhan'ge gave him a slight shake of the head.

Lu Cheng then proceeded to carriage nine, with the same stance and the same finger motion, and Lei Zhan'ge still shook his head.

So he continued to the next carriages—eight, seven… until carriage six, when Lei Zhan'ge finally nodded.

Lu Cheng restrained his inner joy: "Great, at last I've found you!"

Just as he used his gaze to ask the enemy spy exactly where he was sitting, he lunged forward and subdued the spy on the spot.

Ke Lei Zhan Ge also responded with a glance—stop moving.
