It was around 3 p.m., and Ning Zhiheng and Shao Wenguang were waiting for Xiang Yan to arrive at the surveillance point.
About half an hour later, Xiang Yan and his group arrived.
"Section Chief, what's the situation in Er Ma Lane?" Ning Zhiheng asked.
"We haven't found any valuable clues, and the exact location of the dead mailbox is still uncertain. I think we should start by looking at the way Tian Liqun sent the activation signal!" Xiang Yan shook his head and said. In fact, everyone knows that Tian Liqun has many ways to send the activation signal, so it's too difficult to start from this aspect!
“I think we should arrest them immediately and interrogate them directly. That way we can find the location of the dead mailbox, set a trap, and wait for the big fish to take the bait!” Guo Xueyi said from the side.
He didn't understand why Xiang Yan and Ning Zhiheng were being so hesitant. After all, Tian Liqun was now right under their noses, and given the Action Section's style, this matter could have been handled much more directly and simply!
However, he was unaware of Tian Liqun's status as a Japanese nobleman, nor did he know that the Chief of Staff's attitude towards Tian Liqun was primarily one of surveillance, with arrest as a last resort.
Xiang Yan didn't answer him, but instead asked Ning Zhiheng directly, "Zhiheng, what's your opinion?"
Ning Zhiheng smiled, his mind racing, and then said, "Actually, we are already confident of victory in the case. After all, Su Yu and Tian Liqun are under our close surveillance. The only question is how far we can expand our gains in the end."
As for this intelligence delivery, I think it was very successful. At least now we know that Tian Liqun's secret mailbox for transmitting intelligence is located in Er Ma Lane on Xicangqiao Street. Moreover, after the intelligence was delivered, when Brother Shundong and I were following Su Yu, we also went to Xicangqiao Street. Su Yu did not contact anyone and went straight home. This is definitely not a coincidence. If I'm not mistaken, their superior is definitely hiding near Xicangqiao.
Moreover, arresting Tian Liqun now is far too early! The Director has clearly instructed that Tian Liqun should be primarily monitored, and it would be best not to alert him!
As for the unsuccessful tracking this time, it was really related to Tian Liqun's excessive vigilance. But that doesn't matter. Once a fish is caught in the net, it can't escape no matter how much it struggles!
If this tracking doesn't work, we'll try again. Anyway, the intelligence is all fake. If it still doesn't work, we'll drop it again. We've made thorough preparations in Er Ma Lane beforehand, so we're sure we won't be able to find the mailbox's location.
In short, as long as we don't wake up Su Yu and Tian Liqun, we can try a few more times and not be concerned about the success or failure of one time!
Furthermore, this operation is not over yet. Tian Liqun's superior will definitely go to Erma Lane to retrieve intelligence. Although we cannot determine the location of the mailbox at present, we still have the possibility of arresting him.
The most urgent task now is to confirm Tian Liqun's actions. How exactly did he send the activation signal? Why did he return directly to the Minsheng Daily after dropping off the mailbox? Given the importance of this intelligence, he wouldn't delay the delivery time for no reason. It's likely that he sent the signal today, and his superior will retrieve it tomorrow.
I have a bold guess: since he hasn't made any moves, is it possible that his way of sending signals is from inside the Minsheng Daily office?
This Tian Liqun is a column editor at the Minsheng Daily. Could he use his position to manipulate the newspaper, setting up specific markers within his authority as activation signals? It would be incredibly easy. His superiors only need to subscribe to the newspaper daily; upon seeing the agreed-upon markers, they can retrieve the information from their mailboxes. This way, intelligence transmission can be completed—simple and secure!
Ning Zhiheng's words were precise and logical, and the room immediately fell silent. Xiang Yan sat there motionless, tapping his fingers incessantly on the table, carefully pondering the meaning behind Ning Zhiheng's words.
After listening to Ning Zhiheng's words, Shao Wenguang, who knew Ning Zhiheng very well, did not show any unusual reaction to the situation. However, Guo Xueyi, Kang Shundong, and the others nodded to each other in agreement.
In terms of age, Ning Zhiheng is the youngest here, only twenty-one years old, much younger than everyone else present. But he has a special quality that makes it impossible for people to notice his youth. Being with him gives people an invisible sense of pressure, and makes them unconsciously put Ning Zhiheng in a dominant position.
Now they understand why Xiang Yan had said before, instructing everyone to deliberately befriend Ning Zhiheng. Ning Zhiheng's performance had reached a point where even someone of Xiang Yan's stature had to take him seriously!
Looking at the young face in front of him, Xiang Yan couldn't help but sigh inwardly. His subordinates were all quite talented, but compared to Ning Zhiheng, they were inferior in every aspect, especially in their ability to control the overall situation!
Xiang Yan pondered for a long time before finally speaking: "Zhiheng is absolutely right. Success or failure should not be judged by a single action! If we can't catch him this time, we can do it again next time. In the end, we are in the dark while they are in the light, so they are already at a disadvantage from the start!"
Finally, I completely agree with this point. It's highly likely that Tian Liqun used his position to manipulate the *Minsheng Daily*, because this wasn't about transmitting intelligence, but merely sending signals. It only required making specific changes according to a pre-arranged plan. Outsiders wouldn't be able to detect it, and even if they did, they wouldn't understand its meaning. This method of signal transmission is highly secure.
Guo Xueyi chimed in, "Section Chief and Zhiheng are absolutely right. Their explanation has cleared up everyone's thinking. Now, how do we determine whether Tian Liqun will send a signal in the newspaper?"
