In Gong Shiqi's view, there was not much in this incident worthy of in-depth investigation.

The propaganda war between the Portuguese and Sing Tao has been escalating recently, even to the point where they have begun to use unconventional means. Because it involves the diplomatic field, it is inconvenient for other powerful departments such as the military and police to take action, so it is only appropriate for the Ministry of Security to step in to stop it.

The incident was not complicated. If He Xi had not personally supervised the incident, it would have been just one of the many hidden dangers that the Security Department dealt with on a daily basis.

But since this attracted He Xi's great attention, Gong Qiqi thought that the reason might not be as simple as what He Xi had said before.

He sat motionless on his chair, carefully recalling the content of his conversation with He Xi, and after a while he finally got some taste.

After He Xi met with him just now, he only asked about one person's situation. This person was not Tan Tianming, who came from a special background, but Shao Tianhu, who had just arrived in Sanya a few days ago.

He Xi specifically asked about his opinion of Shao Tianhu. Gong Qiqi didn't take it seriously at the time, but in retrospect, he realized that this was a detail that could easily be ignored.

With the Security Department's capabilities, it would be easy for He Xi to obtain information about someone. Shao Tianhu's background and military experience meant that there were basically no secrets in front of the Security Department.

But He Xi seemed not to be satisfied with the information on paper, but also wanted Gong Qiqi, who had brief contact with him, to comment on this person, so he must have some other intentions.

Unless there are some secrets about Shao Tianhu that he doesn't know.

But why Xingdao didn't promote him to a military position on the spot, but sent him all the way to Sanya? Gong Qiyi couldn't understand the mystery for a while.

He seemed to be talking to himself, but after he finished speaking, someone in the darkness of the corridor took the order and left.

The subordinates were a little surprised to see him rushing over at this time. Shao Tianhu left only after dinner, why did he come back so quickly?

"Also, try to contact the people who came with him from Xingdao to see if we can find out what mission Shao Tianhu was performing before coming to Sanya."

Originally, he planned to lock these people up for a few days to let them suffer a little before letting them go. However, since the security department came to say hello, he had no choice but to terminate the plan early.

Shao Tianhu did not mention the Ministry of Security. He only said that the operation had been exposed and the government had come forward to ask him to end the matter as soon as possible. Now he could only release him.

"Everyone prepare it first and make it cleaner later."

After everyone was ready, they opened the iron door of the stone house where the Portuguese was imprisoned.

The warehouse was dimly lit, with only a few oil lamps lit. In order to keep the operation confidential, most of the personnel involved in today's entrapment operation stayed here and did not return to their residence at the Port Inn.

Gong Shiqi recalled the information he had seen about Shao Tianhu. This man once went to the Military Academy in Sanya for further studies because of his outstanding performance in the army. After returning to Xingdao, he was transferred to the Foreign Mercenary Group as a battalion commander.

When they were captured in the morning, they were originally given black cloth hoods to block their sight, but these people had already helped each other take off the hoods. As soon as the door opened, they all looked at the door.

Someone asked: "Sir, since the government has discovered it, can we let him go and the matter will be over?"

When he arrived at the place, Shao Tianhu was not in a hurry to enter the warehouse. He looked around in the dark on the roadside for a while to make sure no one was following him, and then he knocked on the small door on the side of the warehouse.

Gong Shiqi opened his eyes and put down his tea cup, stood up and walked out of the flower hall, and said: "I have arranged for people to keep an eye on Shao Tianhu. I want to know where he has been, the people he has met, and what he has done in Sanya."

But this term was not too long, so he retired from the army and changed careers, and went to Sanya to take over the vacant position of head of the Xingdao Office.

"I know that brothers may think that catching and releasing today is a waste of work, but in fact it is still useful. At least the superiors have paid attention to this matter. It will not be so easy for the Portuguese to engage in small tricks in the future."

Shao Tianhu said: "What the government means is that if the matter has not gotten out of hand, we should just let it go. As long as no one's life is hurt, we will not be held responsible."

Shao Tianhu had already planned this. Firstly, he could not reveal his identity, and secondly, he could not let the other party know where he was being held. As for what the Portuguese would guess afterwards, as long as there was no real evidence, there was no need to worry about the other party going to the office to hold him accountable.

Although everyone was a little disappointed, they also knew that this place was not a star island, but the center of the empire, not a place where they could do whatever they wanted. The government only issued a warning and did not hold them accountable. This should be the lightest way to deal with it.

With Shao Tianhu's age and ability, he was arranged to be discharged from the army and transferred to Sanya at this time. This should not be a punishment after making a mistake, but some kind of special promotion.

Everyone immediately covered their heads with the black scarves they had prepared, leaving only their two eyes exposed.

He didn't know whether the Ministry of Security had also monitored this place, just in case, but it was better to be cautious.

Shao Tianhu's experience during his tenure in the mercenary group is not detailed in the materials. Considering the nature of the mercenary group, it is likely that the tasks he performed during this period involved military secrets, and even the people who filed for him did not know about it.

Shao Tianhu didn't know that he was being secretly watched by some big shots. He was on his way to the dock on the upper reaches of the Linchun River.

However, no matter how you release the person, you cannot handle it casually. Otherwise, if the Portuguese have the handle, there may be trouble in the future.

Someone else came over with a bunch of short sticks and distributed them to everyone. Although the guys inside had their hands cuffed behind their backs, it would be troublesome if they struggled hard. Prepare the guys first. If there are any dishonest ones, then

The stick served.

"Something happened and we had to stop taking action."

These Portuguese people had been locked up for a whole day without any water, and they were always in high tension. At this time, they were all sitting swaying against the wall. Their arms could only be kept behind their backs, and they were already numb.

How can I still have the strength to struggle?

Anyway, no matter how late it is, it will be released sooner or later. Since something unexpected happened, it would be better to settle the matter as soon as possible.

Shao Tianhu reached out and grabbed one person, pinched his cheeks hard, stuffed the cloth into his mouth, put the hood on him again, then pushed him out of the room and handed him over to the people outside.

When someone was about to stand up to resist, he was already hit with a stick on his shoulder and sat back down again with a cry.

Before the person who was arrested could understand the situation, he was put face down on the ground by several people, and the shackles on his hands were removed. Before he could move his arms, his wrists were tied up with ropes again, and then two more people were arrested.

The feet were also tied together with rope.

These shackles are standard equipment. If they are allowed to go back wearing the shackles, they will become evidence, so before releasing them, they must first change the shackles.
