Ning Zhiheng was extremely satisfied with Sun Jiacheng's performance. He had only gone to carry out a simple tracking mission, but unexpectedly, he had uncovered such an important clue.
It's easy to imagine that I can confidently entrust many tasks to him in the future, and I should be able to relax a lot.
Ning Zhiheng was in a good mood. He let out a soft sigh, leaned back comfortably on the sofa, and asked with a smile, "So, in your opinion, what kind of mysterious place is this Jiqing Lane?"
Hearing Ning Zhiheng's praise, Sun Jiacheng was also pleased. After thinking for a moment, he said, "There are only three possibilities: the first is a stronghold of the underground party, the second is a hideout of the Japanese, and the third is a safe house of the Central Party Affairs Investigation Department!"
"The Central Party Affairs Investigation Department? Why would you think of them?" Ning Zhiheng said in surprise. In fact, he had already guessed it, just like Sun Jiacheng thought, that it was either the underground party or the Japanese, but he really didn't expect that there was another possibility, the Central Party Affairs Investigation Department.
Sun Jiacheng had been in the Military Intelligence Investigation Department for a long time and knew some things, so he explained, "I suspect that the Central Party Affairs Investigation Department set up the safe house itself. Actually, our Military Intelligence Investigation Department also has such cases, but they are all properties confiscated during case handling. However, I don't think I've ever heard of a case like Jiqing Lane!"
However, the Central Party Affairs Investigation Department has been established for a long time, and their resources are actually much greater than ours. It's possible that they have such a safe house in such a large city as Nanjing!
After listening, Ning Zhiheng became increasingly interested in Jiqing Lane. He couldn't rule out the possibility that it was a base for a Japanese spy organization, so he absolutely couldn't give up investigating it.
However, if it really is an underground party organization, then I can no longer let my subordinates get involved; I must investigate it myself.
Fortunately, he still has time. He has handed over the investigation of the tailor shop to Wang Shucheng and Huo Yueze. This task will take at least one to two days, so he can still free himself up.
He thought for a moment and said softly to Sun Jiacheng, "This matter is only for your knowledge and must not be mentioned to anyone. Write down Miss Tian's address, and I will have Zuo Rou keep an eye on her. She is a woman, so it's easier for her than for you. You don't need to worry about it."
As for this mysterious Jiqing Lane, we'll go and see for ourselves tomorrow to find out what kind of place it is.
Just then, there was another knock on the door. After Ning Zhiheng agreed, the deputy captain Zhao Jiang entered.
In the afternoon, after Gu Wenshi was arrested, Zhao Jiang was left by Ning Zhiheng to search Gu Wenshi's residence. Now that the search is finally completed, he returned and immediately reported back to Ning Zhiheng!
Seeing that Sun Jiacheng was also in the team leader's office, he simply nodded to Sun Jiacheng in greeting and said nothing more.
Sun Jiacheng immediately understood. He stood up, saluted Ning Zhiheng, and took his leave.
Ning Zhiheng knew that Zhao Jiang had something to say to him privately, so he waved his hand, and Sun Jiacheng quickly left.
He turned to Zhao Jiang and asked, "How was today's search? What did you find?"
Zhao Jiang stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Team leader, that dilapidated courtyard looks run-down, but who would have thought it held such a treasure!"
Upon hearing his words, Ning Zhiheng immediately became interested. He had almost killed Gu Wenshi by hitting him too hard, and fearing something might go wrong, he quickly took Gu Wenshi back to the Military Intelligence Investigation Department for treatment. He didn't have time to search the area himself and wondered what Zhao Jiang had found.
"Stop keeping me in suspense, just tell me!" Ning Zhiheng urged.
“Gu Wenshi has a cellar hidden in his bedroom, which is full of good stuff, including two pistols and three rifles, as well as a lot of antiques, a large amount of gold bars and cash!” Zhao Jiang replied.
Ning Zhiheng was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly asked, "Approximately how much?"
Who would complain about not having enough money, especially when this kind of windfall comes so easily? Why not take it if it's free?
Zhao Jiang said, "Time is too tight, I don't know the exact amount, but it's definitely not a small sum. Team leader, what should we do with these assets?"
"Hand over everything else to the office for filing, and send all the valuables to my home. You go and complete the formalities first, then come back with me!" Ning Zhiheng instructed, taking this matter without hesitation.
Zhao Jiang nodded and went out to complete the handover procedures. He returned quickly, and the two of them drove away from the Military Intelligence Investigation Department together.
The two of them rushed back to Ning Zhiheng's house and began unloading several boxes from Zhao Jiang's car.
Ning Zhiheng and Zhao Jiang carried the boxes into the house, closed the door, and Ning Zhiheng looked at the boxes with a big smile on his face.
He and Zhao Jiang opened all the boxes, and sure enough, they were full of banknotes and gold bars. Ning Zhiheng said with a smile, "Now I know why Gu Wenshi has been staying in this small mountain village instead of fleeing back to Shanghai. All the wealth he has accumulated over the years is here. How can he feel at ease if he doesn't guard it himself?"
Zhao Jiang chuckled, holding a wad of banknotes in his hand, and said with a smile, "This guy specializes in bribing others with money. He's got plenty of swindling money on him, doesn't he?"
Ning Zhiheng glanced at the box and found a box of pounds and dollars, estimated to be worth at least 60,000 yuan, a box of Chinese currency, a box of gold bars, and a large box containing a number of antiques, all wrapped in thick soft cloth!
Ning Zhiheng nodded to himself. This time the harvest was huge, and his hard work in mobilizing the entire city to search for them was not in vain!
He turned around, took out a business card from the drawer, pointed to the two boxes containing gold bars and legal tender, and said to Zhao Jiang, "Take these two boxes back. This is the business card of Chen Kangshi, the manager of Nanye Bank. Contact him tomorrow morning and say that he was introduced by Young Master Lin. Exchange all the gold bars and legal tender for pounds or dollars. Then keep five thousand dollars for yourself and send the rest to me!"
