Xiang Yan excitedly ordered, "Continue the search, one inch at a time, make sure you find the film and the codebook!"
As soon as the order was given, everyone sprang into action and joined the search. Ning Zhiheng didn't hesitate either; this was a good opportunity to expand the results.
He had been unlucky and had chosen the wrong person when he was trying to capture his target, but he couldn't afford to miss this opportunity. He carefully examined the room's layout and began a thorough search.
It can be said that every corner of this room was searched many times, and even the safe hidden in the secret door was opened.
"Open it quickly, the codebook and film must be inside!"
"There's no password! How do I open it? This thing is really sturdy, it's not going to be easy!"
"Damn it, this thing is hard to open. I heard the intelligence department has someone who specializes in opening these kinds of locks. If we can't do it, we'll get him transferred!"
"Get out of here! Have you lost your mind? Giving away credit that's already in your hands?"
For a moment, everyone started chattering amongst themselves, but Zhao Ziliang made the final decision, saying decisively, "What's all the fuss about! A bunch of useless fools! It's just a lump of iron, we're not stealing it, let's just pry it open, that's all!"
Immediately, everyone pitched in, smashing and prying, and after a great deal of effort, they finally managed to pry it open.
Upon opening the safe, in addition to the expected large amount of cash and gold, there were two document bags and a small blue notebook.
Zhao Ziliang held his breath, carefully opened the small blue notebook, flipped through it for a moment, and finally a bright smile appeared on his face.
Upon seeing this, everyone felt relieved, and Xiang Yan quickly asked, "Section Chief, how is it?"
Zhao Ziliang laughed heartily, waved the small blue notebook in his hand, and said excitedly, "As we wished! This is the second codebook we've intercepted!"
Upon hearing this, everyone shouted excitedly. The Action Section had once again made a name for itself. In just a few months, the Action Section had cracked down on a Japanese spy group, seized two radios, and most importantly, seized two complete military-grade encrypted codebooks.
Based on this achievement, the Operations Section's status within the Military Intelligence Investigation Division was further elevated!
Even now, those arrogant intelligence officers in the intelligence section no longer dare to be as cold and loud as before when cooperating with the action section on cases. They just casually say, "Talking is not enough. We in the action section only take action!"
Those people who were about to be silenced were immediately silenced, and their attitude became noticeably more subdued. I wonder what the intelligence department's true colors will be like after this case is over. I'm already looking forward to it!
Zhao Ziliang picked up another file folder, opened it, and sure enough, there was a roll of film inside. He smiled and said, "This is our hero, he caught this big fish!"
This was false intelligence released by the intelligence department, and it's now completely worthless. He casually tossed it aside.
Then he opened another file folder, inside which was a document. Zhao Ziliang carefully read two pages, and his expression turned serious.
He didn't say much, but simply put the file bag away and then said, "Seal up all the spoils and bring them back. I'm going to report to the section chief tonight and ask for commendations for everyone, especially for the deputy section chief and Captain Ning. You deserve all the credit for this great victory. Thank you for your hard work!"
Xiang Yan was extremely pleased with himself at this moment. It had been a long time since he had personally solved a major case. This opportunity was truly rare and would be a significant milestone in his military career.
As for Ning Zhiheng, needless to say, he was the biggest beneficiary of cracking this Japanese spy case. He was the one who uncovered the initial clues, he was in charge of the preliminary work, and he personally identified the two important targets. In addition, his outstanding performance in the later stages of the case meant that no one could deny his contribution. He had already secured the first credit, and now it was just a matter of how far they could expand their gains. If they could uncover even more valuable members of the spy team, that would be even better!
The arrest operation was successfully completed. When everyone returned to the police station, Zhao Ziliang did not waste a moment and immediately called his superior to report his success. The superior was overjoyed and ordered Zhao Ziliang to report the details to him first thing the next morning!
Xiang Yan also ordered the release of the other eight households and the five newsstand owners who had been arrested, and at the same time withdrew all the personnel involved in the operation.
