"Two people?" Bian Ze was puzzled by Ning Zhiheng's answer and asked again, "Just two people? Do you know that this Snow Wolf is one of the top tactical experts in the Japanese Special Higher Police?"

"Skilled in marksmanship and hand-to-hand combat, I followed him for a month and attempted to assassinate him twice. Three of my brothers died, but he wasn't harmed at all. You two think you can force him to pull the pin on a grenade?"

Bian Ze was clearly puzzled. He wondered if this snow wolf was the same one he remembered. How could it have been so easily driven to its doom by a young man who had just joined the military intelligence department?

Ning Zhiheng then realized that the colonel in front of him must have had dealings with Snow Wolf. His questions focused entirely on Snow Wolf, while he didn't pursue the key figure in the case, Xie Ziming, much less.

He also attempted to assassinate Snow Wolf twice, indicating that the two had a deep-seated grudge and entanglement.

He answered cautiously, "Indeed, it was the two of us. However, my subordinate, Sun Jiacheng, is an expert in close combat. In addition, we ambushed him and took him down by surprise. But we didn't expect that he would detonate the grenade without any hesitation. The two of us almost went down with him!"

No sooner had Ning Zhiheng finished speaking than Zhao Ziliang laughed and said, "Young man, don't be so modest. Just say what you mean. The report on Huang Xiansheng's case says that you personally arrested Huang Xiansheng, and you also took the initiative in arresting Xue Lang. At the last moment, you even risked your life to rescue your subordinates. You led both arrests. It's clear that you're quite skilled. There's no need to hide anything. We're not blind!"

After saying this, he glanced at Bian Ze, seemingly unintentionally, clearly showing his support for Ning Zhiheng. He had called him a tactical expert, but after suffering heavy losses in Shanghai and returning in disgrace, he was no match for his two men who easily took Snow Wolf's life.

Bian Ze felt a little awkward under Zhao Ziliang's gaze, so he simply changed the subject: "Do you know when the Snow Wolf entered Nanjing?"

Ning Zhiheng pondered for a moment and replied, "We confirmed with the hotel staff where he stayed that he entered Nanjing eighteen days ago. His secret meeting with Xie Ziming, as well as this telegram, fully demonstrate the inevitable connection between the Shadow Group and Snow Wolf. Our initial assessment is that Snow Wolf's mission in Nanjing was to screen the other members of the Shadow Group and complete the restart mission."

According to our investigation, Xie Ziming, also known as Hei Que, rented the house 18 days ago and applied to become a Chinese language teacher at Hongcheng Elementary School 7 days ago.

Based on the radio found in his residence, we determined that he should be the successor to Windmill, the leader of the Shadow Group, and the new leader of the Shadow Group, Black Sparrow.

He must know the cover identities of his team members. We must get them to talk as soon as possible and expose the other members of the team.

The sergeant, who had been sitting there observing quietly, raised the telegram in his hand and said, "However, this telegram indicates that we don't have much time left. Your analysis makes a lot of sense. The disappearance of Snow Wolf will definitely alert the Japanese Special Higher Police Headquarters, and it won't be longer than this evening."

Evenings are when radio stations are most active. Spies usually receive radio broadcasts at night. It's 10 AM now, we have eight hours left. What do you suggest we do?

Zhao Ziliang spoke up impatiently, "Chief, let's go all out and not worry about Black Sparrow's life. To be honest, if the other members are alerted by evening and eventually evacuate, Black Sparrow will be worthless. We must act decisively and not hesitate any longer."

Even Bian Ze nodded in agreement. Indeed, in the line of espionage, one must always prepare for the worst-case scenario and not take any chances! The slightest oversight can lead to an extremely heavy price!

If the Japanese Special Higher Police Headquarters is truly willing to abandon the Shadow Squad's years of hard work and order its members to evacuate, then Black Sparrow will become a lone commander and truly have no value!

"Alright, notify Yu Cheng immediately. Regardless of whether the prisoner is dead or alive, you must obtain a confession before evening!" The director finally made up his mind.

Everyone had reached an agreement and proceeded according to the plan. Just as Ning Zhiheng was about to leave the office, Bian Ze suddenly spoke up: "Ning Zhiheng, wait a moment. Come with me to the morgue to confirm Snow Wolf's identity!"

"Yes!" Ning Zhiheng replied!

It seems Bian Ze still can't forget the snow wolf. Leaving the office, the two hurried to the military intelligence department's morgue.

Bian Ze remained silent with a somber expression throughout the journey. Ning Zhiheng neither dared nor wanted to speak to him. Both of them were reserved and taciturn, so they walked quickly and silently.

The two quickly arrived at the morgue. The guard on duty saw that it was Bian Ze and dared not say anything. He quickly moved Cui Hai's body out according to Bian Ze's instructions.

Upon opening the freezer and seeing the person before him, Ning Zhiheng said to Bian Ze behind him, "It's confirmed, it is indeed Cui Hai, the one I caught yesterday!"

Bian Ze took two heavy steps forward, pushed Ning Zhiheng away, and looked at Cui Hai's face. His eyes were filled with hatred, pain, and relief.

After a long while, Bian Ze said in a low, hoarse voice, "That's right, it really is him, Snow Wolf! For two years, every time I close my eyes, I see my brothers falling beside me again and again, shouting for me to leave quickly, to leave quickly!"

I have sworn countless times to myself that I will avenge this grudge in this lifetime! Otherwise, I will have no face to see my brothers in the afterlife!
