It seems the breakthrough point still lies with Dai Daguang!
He waved his hand to stop Zuo Rou's explanation and said, "I also hope that you are not really willing to work for the Japanese. I can give you and your brother a chance. As long as you are willing to atone for your crimes, I can speak up for you about what happened before, and the deaths of those thugs can be forgiven."
The military intelligence investigation department has this authority. I can withdraw this case, and you can start anew and serve the country.
But if you stubbornly resist and insist on being scapegoats for your boss Dai, I will have no choice but to act in accordance with the law and send you to the guillotine.
"Whether you live or die, you should know how to choose. You need to seize the opportunity yourself. That's all I have to say! Think about it carefully. As a Chinese person, to become a traitor and sell out your country, to be despised by thousands after death, and to bring shame upon your ancestors—is it really worth it?"
Ning Zhiheng's words were quite clear in their meaning: he wanted to make the Zuo siblings understand the seriousness of the matter so that he could lay a good foundation for their eventual subjugation.
He turned and called Lao Liao in, instructing him, "Lock them up temporarily. Give them some of the best Yunnan Baiyao. No one is allowed to touch them without my permission, understand?"
Lao Liao quickly agreed!
"What instructions do you have for Cui Er?" Old Liao asked, looking at Cui Er who was slumped on the ground. If Ning Zhiheng hadn't given him instructions last time, Old Liao would have already killed Cui Er.
"This person can't be kept alive. Deal with him yourself! Be quick and don't let him suffer!" Ning Zhiheng instructed in a low voice.
This Cui Er knows too much; he'll be a problem sooner or later. The jade jewel and family crest seal were both extracted from him, along with the gold. He probably harbors resentment now, wanting to devour Ning Zhiheng and the others, but he just doesn't dare show it!
What if we let him out to spout nonsense? Besides, he's already a cripple, so letting him out would just be a waste of food. In Ning Zhi's eyes, this kind of scum is not worth taking seriously; he'll starve to death sooner or later anyway, so it's better to give him a quick death!
Old Liao bowed and nodded in acceptance, then went to make the arrangements.
Ning Zhiheng and Sun Jiacheng left the interrogation room, where Shi Hong and Wang Shucheng greeted them, asking, "Captain, what's the next step?"
"Tell the team to take a break. Liu Datong has made an important discovery, and there will be another operation tonight," Ning Zhiheng said.
"Great! I didn't expect to get results so quickly. I wonder what big fish we'll catch this time!" Wang Shucheng said excitedly.
Over the past six months, the Third Action Team has repeatedly captured Japanese spies and solved major cases, demonstrating outstanding performance. The Shadow Spy Group's investigative operations have made the Third Action Team a household name within the Military Intelligence Investigation Department.
Wang Shucheng, as the deputy captain, also benefited greatly and received commendations on several occasions. If he makes any further meritorious contributions, he will soon be promoted to lieutenant.
Seeing the people around him being promoted one after another, he felt secretly anxious. Although his classmates who graduated at the same time were still second lieutenants, they were far behind Ning Zhiheng, who was showing extraordinary talent.
Therefore, he was even more eager to solve the case and make contributions, and he was naturally very excited when he heard that there would be results tonight!
Shi Hong said happily, "Captain, the case is progressing so smoothly, I think we can close the net soon, right?"
Ning Zhiheng shook his head. Although things had progressed smoothly so far, with Tian Liqun already under surveillance and Dai Daguang now discovered, he dared not be too optimistic. He smiled and said, "It's still hard to say. In short, we must proceed cautiously and steadily. Everyone needs to work hard to achieve complete success!"
Upon hearing this, the three deputies nodded in agreement. It was already 7 p.m., and everyone had been busy all day without a drop of water. Only now did they feel unbearably hungry. Shi Hong went to arrange for the team members to eat and rest, and to be on standby at any time.
Ning Zhiheng and the others found a nearby restaurant, ate a few bites, and then rushed back to the detention center to wait for Liu Datong's call.
Liu Datong was very efficient. Half an hour later, Ning Zhiheng finally received another call from Liu Datong and ordered the whole team to set off.
