Propelled headlong into the relentless currents of history, Ji Yu finds himself transplanted to the tumultuous prelude to WWII.
Once an ordinary civil servant in his modern existence, Ji Yu i...
After leaving the Liu family's gate, Ning Zhiheng and Liu Datong parted ways.
Ning Zhiheng rushed back to the Military Intelligence Department without stopping, because the department had cameras and a darkroom for developing photographs.
He took many photos of the sketch and developed them. By the time everything was done, it was already past 2 a.m.
He didn't go home; he simply pushed a few chairs together in his office and lay down.
The next morning, after getting up and washing up, he sorted out his thoughts and decided that it was enough to let Liu Datong and his men gather information; for the actual arrest operation, it would be more reliable to use his own team members.
He didn't intend to be a lone hero, after all, this was a case involving Japanese spies, which was of great importance, and in the end, it had to be handed over to the military intelligence department to handle.
Just then, the sound of footsteps echoed in the hallway; it was time for work.
He soon heard the door next door open, so he quickly grabbed his briefcase and left the office, where he saw his senior colleague, Wei Liangbi.
"Senior brother, I just wanted to report something to you," Ning Zhiheng said.
"Zhiheng, what are you doing here? Weren't you supposed to be on vacation? Why haven't you left yet?" Wei Liangbi was a little surprised to see Ning Zhiheng. He hadn't seen Ning Zhiheng yesterday and thought he had already gone home to visit his family.
"Don't rush to take a vacation, let me report to you about work first!"
"Work? What work? Didn't we give your team a vacation? We didn't assign you any work. Let me tell you, the replacements will be arriving soon, and your vacation will be over soon too," Wei Liangbi said with a smile.
That's what they say, but Ning Zhiheng is his junior brother, and he can take a vacation whenever he wants. He can make decisions about this small matter.
Ning Zhiheng followed Wei Liangbi into the office and closed the door behind him.
Wei Liangbi watched Ning Zhiheng's cautious actions and the document bag in his hand.
He said with some surprise, "You really want to report to me?"
Ning Zhiheng said in a low voice, "One of my undercover agents provided a clue and discovered a suspicious person."
"Spy? You've only been with the Military Intelligence Bureau for ten days and participated in only one operation. How could you have developed a spy network?"
Wei Liangbi found Ning Zhiheng's words rather strange. This junior apprentice got into work mode very quickly; he's already developed into a covert spy.
Besides, those are all the methods used by the intelligence department; the action department is only responsible for arresting people.
"Oh, actually they weren't exactly spies, just a few friends I met during my time at military academy. They joined our intelligence service, so I just casually mentioned asking them to keep an eye out for things on the streets. I didn't expect it to actually work!" Ning Zhiheng explained.
He had to pin the clue on Liu Datong and his group; otherwise, he couldn't explain how they discovered it.
He wasn't worried that Wei Liangbi would pry into the matter and get bogged down in it. As long as he and his colleague Liu had discussed it beforehand, it would be difficult for others to detect the problem.
"Alright then, tell me what kind of suspicious person it is. Let's make it clear first, if it's just petty theft, then transfer it to the police station. We shouldn't waste our energy on such trivial matters." Wei Liangbi was somewhat dismissive. He walked to the window and opened it, and a breath of fresh air rushed in.
Ning Zhiheng smiled and said, "I know what I'm doing, but I felt this was no small matter, so I did some work before coming to report to you, Senior Brother."
After saying that, he placed the official document in his hand on Wei Liangbi's desk.
Wei Liangbi picked it up with some doubt, reached inside and took out a large stack of photos. He picked one up and examined it carefully: "Who is this person? Is there anything suspicious about him?"
"This man is named Wang Yunfeng. He rented a second-floor room at No. 402 Beihua Street. What's suspicious is that he doesn't actually live in the room. He only goes there occasionally to check on things. He never interacts with the neighbors, and they have never seen him before."
“Beihua Street, isn’t that the street where Fu Cheng was arrested? Tell me more about it!” Wei Liangbi suddenly realized that this matter was really not simple and he had to find out the truth.
"Not only that, Wang Yunfeng's registered occupation with the landlord is dentist, but there is only one dental clinic on Beihua Street, and only one old dentist, which doesn't match his information."
"Couldn't it be another dental clinic?" Wei Liangbi asked, but he quickly realized the problem. He was also a shrewd and capable agent, otherwise he wouldn't have been in this position.
“This person definitely has a problem!” Wei Liangbi tapped his right middle finger lightly on the windowsill as he pondered deeply.
“He always pays his rent to the landlord on his own initiative every month without fail. According to the landlord, this person is well-dressed and looks good, so his income should be good, but he doesn’t own his own home and still needs to rent a place. Even after renting a place, he doesn’t live there and usually tries to avoid seeing his neighbors, which is very abnormal,” Ning Zhiheng continued to analyze.
"Where did you get this photo?" Wei Liangbi asked, waving the photo in his hand.
"This is a drawing I made based on the landlord's description of the suspect. The landlord said it looks very similar to the real person," Ning Zhiheng said with a smug smile.
Ning Zhiheng felt that he didn't need to hide his drawing skills; on the contrary, he thought they were quite impressive. He never imagined that his skills from his previous life could be used in detective work; at least he had put his learning to good use and hadn't wasted his talents.
"You have this ability?"
It was said that Ning Zhiheng was the mastermind behind it, which surprised Wei Liangbi.
In this day and age, this is an incredibly impressive skill.
Camera use was relatively rare among ordinary people. People would only go to a photo studio to have their pictures taken when something important happened at home.
