On the way back, Wei Liangbi and Ning Zhiheng were in the same car. Wei Liangbi looked at Ning Zhiheng and couldn't help but feel a little sentimental.
Ning Zhiheng was the direct executor of the case. Wei Liangbi knew that his junior brother had once again taken the lead. He knew that if nothing unexpected happened, his junior brother would soon become one of the military commanders of the Action Section, just like him.
In less than a year, the junior brother has reached this point at a speed that is hard for ordinary people to believe. In the future, the two brothers' status in the Military Intelligence Investigation Department will be greatly enhanced, and no one can ignore their existence!
Wei Liangbi smiled and asked Ning Zhiheng, "Zhiheng, this time the results are indeed very satisfying. This is another major case you have solved, and it is now in its final stages. I wonder what your next steps are?"
Ning Zhiheng was also in a good mood and full of joy. After listening to Wei Liangbi's words, he thought for a while and said, "Today's operation was indeed successful, but I have always had a question: between Meng Lesheng and Kong Shulan, who is the real superior?"
One possibility, of course, is that Meng Lesheng is the real superior and Kong Shulan is his assistant. This would be the best outcome, and we might be able to continue the investigation and uncover other spy members through Meng Lesheng.
Another possibility is more troublesome: Kong Shulan might be the real supplier, and Meng Lesheng her assistant. That would mean this lead has reached its end! I estimate this is about all we've gained, so I'll just close the net and immediately arrest Tian Liqun and Su Yu. That would close the case!
Wei Liangbi nodded, then suddenly remembered something and asked in confusion, "Do you remember the file folder that the section chief found in Meng Lesheng's safe just now?"
Ning Zhiheng nodded and said, "Of course I remember. Judging from the section chief's expression, this document must be quite important. Perhaps it will be a direction for future investigations!"
"That's a story for later. I estimate that the Director will personally inquire about the details of the case tomorrow. Let's leave everything to the Director to decide," Wei Liangbi said.
Nothing happened overnight. Ning Zhiheng arrived at the Military Intelligence Investigation Department early the next morning. He had barely sat down in his office when the phone on his desk rang.
He picked up the phone, and Xiang Yan's voice came through.
"Come to me immediately! The Chief has summoned me. Let's go together to report on the case!"
"Yes, Section Chief, I'll be right there!"
Ning Zhiheng didn't dare to delay and hurried to Xiang Yan's office. At this time, Zhao Ziliang was also talking to Xiang Yan. When he saw Ning Zhiheng arrive, he smiled and said, "We've been waiting for you, our great hero. Hurry up and go, the director is waiting for us!"
After saying that, they picked up the document bag and codebook from the table, and the three of them headed to the director's office.
This was the third time Ning Zhiheng had been summoned by the Director in the past few months. As a junior officer, being summoned so frequently by the Director was unprecedented in the Military Intelligence Investigation Department.
In the section chief's office, when Zhao Ziliang handed the document bag and blue codebook to the section chief, the section chief could not hide his joy.
He opened the blue codebook and carefully flipped through it, nodding repeatedly. He said happily, "This is no easy feat. This is another huge discovery. The last encrypted codebook was a treasure to the experts, providing them with a lot of help in their decryption work. Sending this codebook over will greatly accelerate their progress!"
After speaking, he raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the faces of Zhao Ziliang and the other two, finally settling on Ning Zhiheng. He smiled and said again, "Zhiheng, I've discovered that you're not only a capable officer, but also a lucky one! You've only been with our Military Intelligence Investigation Department for less than a year, yet you've not only cracked two major cases involving Japanese spies and handled the arrest of several important Japanese spies, but you've also seized two such important military codebooks. I must say, your work is outstanding!"
Faced with the section chief's undisguised praise, Ning Zhiheng quickly stood up straight and said humbly, "This humble officer dares not take credit. It was all thanks to the two section chiefs' excellent command. I was just lucky to succeed. I dare not accept your praise, section chief!"
Zhao Ziliang and Xiang Yan were both pleased. Ning Zhiheng's performance was remarkable and truly amazing. Now, his answers were so appropriate that he had pushed them to the forefront. They couldn't help but nod in approval!
The section chief laughed heartily, pointed at Ning Zhiheng, and said to Zhao Ziliang and the other man, "The younger generation is surpassing the older generation; your juniors have all caught up with you!"
Zhao Ziliang laughed heartily and said, "Our Action Section is full of talented people, and Liangbi and Zhiheng are among the best. They deserve your praise, Chief!"
The section chief smiled and nodded, saying nothing more. He picked up the document bag, opened it, and took out the documents inside. He carefully read through them, his expression gradually becoming serious. He asked Zhao Ziliang in a deep voice, "Besides you, who else knows about this document?"
After saying that, he glanced at Xiang Yan beside him, and Zhao Ziliang quickly said, "No one else has seen it except me. After the team finished yesterday, I didn't go home. I rested in the office for one night, and this document and password book never left my side!"
Xiang Yan shrugged with a wry smile and said, "Senior, you are wise. I didn't see anything. The section chief kept his mouth shut and didn't reveal a single word!"
As for Ning Zhiheng, he simply didn't say anything. Given his rank, it was impossible for him to have access to such confidential documents.
The section chief put the document back into the document bag and carefully put it away.
At that moment, the secretary came in and reported, "Chief, Section Chief Gu and the others have arrived!"
"Let them in!" the sergeant nodded in agreement.
"I brought them here to discuss this case!" the chief said.
