Ning Zhiheng lay on the sofa in his office for a while in the early morning, and woke up when it was time to go to work.
He was young and strong, with a physique far superior to that of ordinary people, and soon he was full of energy and his fatigue disappeared.
After checking the time, I figured everyone had already arrived, so I called Wang Shucheng in.
"Team leader, did you call me for something?" Wang Shucheng said. He hadn't participated in the interrogation of Sekiguchi Ryoichi yesterday, so he arrived at the Military Intelligence Investigation Department early and waited in the office for Ning Zhiheng's orders.
“Three hours ago, Lu Xing confessed. You immediately take men to arrest Shi Yeliang, the department manager of Yu’an Trading Company. Lu Xing doesn’t know if this person is really Japanese, so you need to be careful and bring plenty of men to make arrangements!”
"Yes!" Wang Shucheng quickly accepted the order.
However, he hesitated for a moment before speaking again: "But team leader, I've heard of this Yu'an Trading Company. It's a very large business, and its background seems to be related to the Party Affairs Investigation Department!"
"Really?" Ning Zhiheng hadn't heard of this before, but after only a moment's hesitation, he made a decisive decision: "Don't worry about these things. Let the higher-ups deal with them. We'll just arrest people. If anyone resists, execute them on the spot. We're in the right no matter what, so don't be afraid to make a big fuss!"
At this time, corruption was rampant among the high-ranking officials of the Republic of China. Almost every powerful figure had their subordinates involved in various businesses to some extent, using their privileges to reap profits, just like a group of greedy vampires clinging to a weak patient, constantly sucking their blood.
However, Ning Zhiheng didn't care about the background of these companies. He dealt with any company that was involved with Japanese spy organizations. Anyway, he had the Military Intelligence Investigation Department behind him, so he didn't need to take the blame!
Wang Shucheng accepted the order and left. Ning Zhiheng went to the safe, turned the round combination lock, opened the safe, and took out the blue password book.
This treasure must be presented to the Chief immediately. The Chief is unaware that just yesterday, Ning Zhiheng cracked the Snow Mountain spy group, seizing the radio and codebook. His speed in cracking the case was astonishing.
Arriving at Zhao Ziliang's office, I gently knocked on the door, and Zhao Ziliang quickly opened it.
"Section Chief, I'm sorry to disturb your rest!" Ning Zhiheng said.
"It's nothing, actually I didn't sleep well either. In our line of work, you have to keep your mind on edge all the time, you even have to sleep with one eye open!" Zhao Ziliang had only slept on the sofa for a short while before getting up early!
Ning Zhiheng handed the blue codebook to Zhao Ziliang and said, "Section Chief, this is the encrypted codebook we found based on Sekiguchi Ryoichi's confession!"
"A codebook, this is great!" Zhao Ziliang saw the blue codebook, quickly took it, opened it, and carefully flipped through it.
"Don't worry, Section Chief, I've already checked it, there's no problem!" Ning Zhiheng said with a smile.
Zhao Ziliang laughed heartily, clearly in a very good mood. He waved the codebook in his hand and said proudly, "In just a few months, our Action Section has cracked three spy groups, seized four radios, and three codebooks. Who can compare to this achievement?"
Last year, the intelligence department went to great lengths in Wuhan, causing a huge uproar, to recover a single document. Ultimately, that's the only real achievement; nothing else matters!
Ning Zhiheng was naturally very excited, and he asked, "Should we report this to the section chief immediately?"
“Of course, you are the executor of the case, so you will come with me to report the case details. Let’s go now!” Zhao Ziliang nodded immediately.
He turned around, picked up the phone on his desk, and dialed the director's office. He quickly hung up and said to Ning Zhiheng, "The director happens to have some time, let's go over right away!"
After saying that, he quickly tidied his appearance and then walked briskly with Ning Zhiheng to the director's office.
Upon arriving at the office, Zhao Ziliang knocked on the door. His secretary, already waiting there, said, "Section Chief Zhao, please come in! The Director is waiting for you!"
The two entered the section chief's office, where he was handling official business. Upon seeing them, he exclaimed with delight, "Ziliang, you two had a great achievement yesterday! Tell me about it quickly!"
Zhao Ziliang laughed and stepped forward, placing the blue codebook in front of the section chief. The section chief's eyes lit up, and he quickly took it: "This is the codebook. Did you seize it yesterday?"
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said, "Yes! Zhiheng, please explain the details!"
Ning Zhiheng stepped forward, straightened his posture, and began to explain how the intelligence department had failed to send out false intelligence the previous morning, so he ordered the arrest of Liang Shi'an. Liang Shi'an did not resist at all and immediately confessed. Then, by sending out false intelligence, they followed the clues and captured Sekiguchi Ryoichi, the leader of the Snow Mountain Group. They interrogated him overnight until they seized the radio and codebook.
The section chief listened to Ning Zhiheng's report and nodded repeatedly. Only after Ning Zhiheng finished his introduction did he slap the table and exclaim in approval. Holding the blue codebook in his hand, he said happily, "Ziliang, your Action Section is becoming more and more efficient. You are decisive and efficient. Well done!"
The decryption work has made great progress recently, mainly thanks to the two encrypted codebooks you've seized. Now you've got another one, so the progress should be even faster!
"It's all thanks to your excellent leadership, Director, that we've achieved such results!" Zhao Ziliang flattered with a smile.
The section chief smiled and waved his hand, then turned to Ning Zhiheng and asked, "Zhiheng, the value of Yong'an Bank has now become apparent. One Liang Shi'an uncovered a spy team and a valuable codebook. We still have three accounts in our hands, so we must keep a close eye on them. This important funding channel for the Japanese spy organization is now our treasure trove!"
