“There’s no time to spare. Besides, this isn’t about transmitting intelligence; there are patterns in the text. This is a specific signal. Without information about the person involved, it’s extremely difficult to detect! Even the people in the post and telecommunications department would have a hard time finding it!” Kang Shundong said from the side.

Everyone nodded; they hadn't made any special discoveries and were at a loss as to what to do.

However, Ning Zhiheng still did not completely give up. He still believed that his judgment was based on evidence and made sense.

At this moment, he turned to Shao Wenguang and said, "Go next door and invite Zhang Wei over. He is a column editor at the Minsheng Daily and knows the layout of this newspaper better than any of us. He has more authority to speak on this matter!"

"Yes, yes, only he is most likely to discover the problem, quickly call him over!" Xiang Yan then remembered that there was also a column editor from the Minsheng Daily, and quickly said.

Shao Wenguang accepted the order and quickly invited Zhang Wei over. Zhang Wei had been waiting next door for a long time and was starting to feel uneasy. He wondered why these people were taking so long to check the newspapers, and whether there was something wrong with it.

When Shao Wenguang came to invite him, he put away his wild thoughts and went into the room. Seeing everyone looking at him, he suddenly felt a little flustered.

"Do you all have any further questions? Please feel free to ask!" Zhang Wei said.

With a smile on his face, Ning Zhiheng said in a friendly manner, "There are some things I would like to ask Mr. Zhang."

After saying this, he invited Zhang Wei to the table and pointed to the newspapers on the table, saying, "Mr. Zhang is a column editor of the Minsheng Daily. No one knows this newspaper better than you. We would like to ask Mr. Zhang for a favor. Can you find out the difference between this sample newspaper you brought and the Minsheng Daily that was published a few days ago?"

Zhang Wei was taken aback after hearing Ning Zhiheng's words, but he didn't dare to ask any further questions. He vaguely felt that things were not as simple as he had imagined.

"I'm not sure which aspect you're referring to? Do you mean the content or the layout?" Zhang Wei asked cautiously.

Ning Zhiheng spread his hands and said with a wry smile, "We don't know exactly what the differences are either, which is why we need to ask Mr. Zhang for help. If Mr. Zhang can help us find out the problem..."

After saying that, he took out a stack of brand-new banknotes, placed them in front of Zhang Wei, and said again, "This is Mr. Zhang's hard work fee. Thank you for your trouble."

Hearing Ning Zhiheng's words and seeing the stack of banknotes in front of him, which was noticeably thicker than before, Zhang Wei's eyes lit up. Completely forgetting his earlier unease, he awkwardly rubbed his hands together and said, "How could I accept such a generous gift! You're too kind! Let me take a look first. Don't worry, I've worked at the Minsheng Daily for so many years; no problem can escape my notice!"

Zhang Wei stepped forward and skillfully sorted the newspapers, arranging them neatly according to their publication dates. He then compared the sample newspapers he had taken with the newspapers, line by line and word by word. This was another windfall, so Zhang Wei couldn't afford to be careless.

Zhang Wei, as expected of a veteran in the newspaper business, immediately transformed once he entered work mode, focusing intently on the inspection. Everyone watched him nervously, hoping he would deliver good news.

"Huh!"

A short while later, Zhang Wei suddenly uttered a questioning sound!

"What's wrong? Did you find a problem?" Ning Zhiheng, who had been waiting nearby, quickly asked. The others also immediately turned their attention to Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei pointed to a section in the sample newspaper and said with a puzzled look, "This section of gossip and anecdotes usually only publishes two stories per issue. The section has limited space, and each story is kept to around 600 words. But for some reason, this issue has published three short stories, so each story can only have 400 words, which makes the narration a bit rough."

Ning Zhiheng quickly took the newspaper and checked it carefully. Sure enough, the previous newspapers only published two short stories in this column, but the sample newspaper that Zhang Wei brought back published three short stories.

When everyone was inspecting it before, they didn't know that Minsheng Daily had such a routine. They just noticed that the format and size of the sample hadn't changed, so they overlooked it. Sure enough, Ning Zhiheng was right. The people who are most familiar with the newspaper are the most likely to find the problem!
