But Zhao Ziliang said with difficulty, "These people's activities are all within the bank, and all they need to do is manipulate the accounts. Our usual methods of tracking and surveillance are not very effective!"
Ning Zhiheng said firmly, "Start with their experiences and backgrounds. It's impossible for a spy to leave no trace at all. As long as we put in the effort to find them!"
Things have turned out much better than we expected, and we've narrowed our focus down to these three people!
Furthermore, I think we shouldn't just give up on the account; instead, we should prioritize checking it again!
These words puzzled Zhao Ziliang and Zhu Caijie. Zhao Ziliang said, "Investigate again? How do you want to investigate?"
Ning Zhiheng kept stroking his chin with his right hand, his mind racing, imagining one possibility after another, proposing a hypothesis, and then refuting it through reasoning. After a long time, he slowly said, "Section Chief, I have a hypothesis, but I don't know if it will be effective!"
He then turned to Zhu Caijie and asked, "I don't know if you are familiar with Yong'an Bank's deposit and withdrawal procedures. There should be original receipts for the deposit, withdrawal, and expenditure of funds. How long should these receipts be kept?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Caijie thought carefully for a moment and replied, "I haven't asked. The specific situation varies from bank to bank. However, based on my understanding of the banking industry, original documents are generally kept for one to two years."
At this point, he finally understood Ning Zhiheng's line of thinking. He continued, "Team Leader Ning, you want to compare the results of this account inspection by checking the original bank documents. If some accounts have funds flowing through them in the original documents but are not recorded in the final ledger, it means that the funds flowing through these accounts have been erased or altered. That means they are spy accounts, right?"
“Yes, that’s what I mean!” Ning Zhiheng nodded and said. Zhu Caijie was clear-headed and quick-witted!
Zhu Caijie shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Your idea is correct, but the workload is too large, and it will be difficult for us to complete. Moreover, it is very difficult to obtain these original documents. These original documents are all in the accounting office, and it is impossible to bypass Tong Huahan, the chief accountant of Yong'an Bank. We cannot even confirm that Tong Huahan is not involved in any problems. What should we do?"
"Then let's first confirm this Tong Huahan. If his identity is problematic and he is a Japanese spy, since we can't get around him no matter what, let's find a way to cause a car accident or some other incident to make him rest for a while before we conduct the investigation."
"If his identity is not a problem, that would be best. We'll communicate with him privately and get his cooperation in finding these spy accounts whose financial records have been erased, and then proceed with the next steps!" Ning Zhiheng said decisively.
Zhao Ziliang chimed in, "As for manpower, I'll consult with the Chief and mobilize all the resources of the Military Intelligence Investigation Department. It'll just take some effort! As long as we find the Japanese spies, none of this will be a problem!"
His meaning was very clear: we must overcome difficulties, mobilize the entire department, and spare no expense to complete this operation!
“Then we should report this to the section chief. Our resources are limited in this matter. Besides, once we find some clues, the section chief will still need the intelligence department to get involved!” Ning Zhiheng suggested to Zhao Ziliang tactfully.
If we're talking about the Military Intelligence Investigation Department, the department head trusts the Intelligence Section the most. After all, it's the Intelligence Section that has been holding up the show and has made many achievements over the years. In addition, the department head has been investing heavily in the Intelligence Section, so now the Intelligence Section has left other departments behind in terms of strength and resources.
In other words, the Operations Section has made remarkable progress in the past six months, uncovering a series of important Japanese spies who had been hidden for many years, which made the Chief of Staff start to look at the Operations Section with new respect!
This expansion demonstrates that the Nanjing headquarters' Operations Section added two operations groups, and the operations teams at military intelligence stations across the country also saw a significant increase. It can be said that the Operations Section benefited the most and exerted the greatest effort in this expansion!
This significantly elevated Zhao Ziliang's status in the Military Intelligence Investigation Department, naturally giving his words much more weight!
However, despite this, it is still a notch below the intelligence department on the whole. Whenever there is a major case, the director always lets the intelligence department get involved, as evidenced by the previous two cases.
