Liu Yong nodded, then looked at Ning Zhiheng, awaiting his instructions.
Ning Zhiheng thought for a moment and said to Liu Yong, "Don't alert anyone yet. Just stay here and keep an eye on things. We'll talk again after Jin De confirms it's correct!"
After saying that, he looked around, pointed to several buildings opposite the newspaper office, compared the locations and angles, pointed to the building that was most suitable for observation, and said to Liu Yong: "Go and find out what kind of business is there, and try to rent a house with a window that can see the newspaper office entrance, and set up a surveillance point. Otherwise, with so many people guarding the street, it will be easier for the target to spot us!"
Liu Yong quickly agreed and turned to make the arrangements. Ning Zhiheng also found a corner to wait for Dong Chengjie to appear.
Half an hour later, Liu Datong and several plainclothes officers arrived with Jin De.
Ning Zhiheng looked at him, frowned, and said, "I told you to bring Jin De over, why did you bring so many people?"
Liu Datong pointed at the plainclothes officers and quickly explained, "Commander Ning, these are security guards I carefully selected. They all have experience in investigation and surveillance. I know that once you spot a target, you will definitely need to follow and keep an eye on them. I was worried that you might not have enough manpower here!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Zhiheng felt that Liu Datong was becoming more and more organized in his work. He noticed that his subordinates, who were moving to new positions, quickly adapted to their new roles. It was true that environment shapes talent. Many people were not without brains, but simply lacked opportunities. Ning Zhiheng had given them those opportunities, and now they were all making rapid progress!
"Not bad, Big Head! Your brain is working properly now! You know what, if we really identify a target, I'm not really comfortable relying on Liu Yong's rickshaw pullers alone. They're good at finding people, but they're not so good at tracking!" Ning Zhiheng gave Liu Datong a look of appreciation, which made Liu Datong feel a little embarrassed.
Ning Zhiheng glanced at the plainclothes officers; they were indeed quite capable, but none of them were familiar faces. He couldn't help but ask, "Why aren't Gong Ji'an and Hou Cheng here?"
In the last operation, Liu Datong selected four capable subordinates: Xiong Hongda, Gong Ji'an, Hou Cheng, and Wen Xingsheng. Among them, Xiong Hongda and Gong Ji'an were formerly subordinates of Wang Bapi. After Ning Zhiheng dealt with Wang Bapi, the former subordinates joined Liu Datong's ranks.
Hou Cheng and Wen Xingsheng were old buddies of Liu Datong when they were patrolmen. After Liu Datong became successful, they naturally rose in rank and became minor leaders in the public security police.
None of the plainclothes officers present were part of Ning Zhiheng's previous operation to track Lin Mucheng. Xiong Hongda had been responsible for keeping an eye on Lin Mucheng, but the other three were nowhere to be seen.
It seems that Liu Datong's strength has increased significantly in the past two months, and he has a lot more manpower!
"Didn't you tell me to keep an eye out for what's going on on the street? Something has actually happened, and I've sent the three of them to investigate!" Liu Datong replied in a low voice.
"What's going on? Is someone looking for the seal and the jade?" Ning Zhiheng's attention was immediately drawn to it!
Two days ago, someone found two bodies in the garbage dump at the North Street intersection. In the past, beggars often starved to death on the streets. If you hadn't specifically told me to pay attention to the news on the streets these past few days, I would have overlooked it.
As soon as I heard about this, I sent people to dig up the bodies. My men identified the two men as local thugs, habitual thieves and petty criminals, like Cui Er. I have a feeling this is related to the seal, so I've sent people over these past two days to investigate who did it!
