Ning Zhiheng arrived at the Military Intelligence Investigation Department early in the morning. He had just sat down in his office when someone knocked on the door and entered.
Ning Zhiheng looked up and saw Wang Shucheng and Huo Yueze. Wang Shucheng was holding a file folder.
"Team leader, we've stepped up our investigation and finally have results. Here are our findings!" Wang Shucheng handed the file bag to Ning Zhiheng's desk.
The task assigned the evening before yesterday has been completed this morning!
It's important to understand that Nanjing is a vast city with a population of over a million. In that era, there was no large-scale garment manufacturing. Most ordinary people sewed their own clothes, which were generally simple in style and crudely made.
However, families with even a little bit of means would go to tailor shops to order clothes, so there were countless tailor shops, which were essential businesses for people's livelihood.
But Wang Shucheng and his team worked day and night, and actually finished it in such a short time. Their efficiency was truly remarkable, and Ning Zhiheng was extremely satisfied!
He took the file bag, opened it, and carefully reviewed it. Then, pointing to the last page, he asked, "So, four targets were finally selected?"
Wang Shucheng stepped forward and replied, "Yes, we split up and checked all 51 tailor shops in the south of the city, and found eight of them to be reputable tailor shops."
Only twenty of these companies purchased that high-quality blue and white fabric with a peony pattern. After eliminating factors such as body size and age, we've narrowed it down to four targets. We can't confirm their whereabouts at the time, but you said you'd personally review the shortlisted targets, so we've entrusted this to you for a final decision!
Ning Zhiheng gently placed the documents on the table and said with satisfaction, "You've done a great job. Thank you for your hard work these past two days. I will summarize the results with those from the intelligence department, but I'm afraid they won't be as quick as we are!"
After saying that, he picked up the phone on his desk and called Yu Cheng, the head of the intelligence team.
"Old Yu, two days have passed. Have you gotten the results of your investigation yet?" Ning Zhiheng asked politely.
Upon hearing Ning Zhiheng's question, Yu Cheng on the other end of the phone immediately understood Ning Zhiheng's meaning: he was urging them to complete this investigation task as soon as possible.
However, he had confidently stated that the investigation would be completed in two days, but he hadn't anticipated that the workload would be so great.
Ning Zhiheng is calling to ask about the progress, which means that the Action Section has completed the investigation and is now preparing to summarize the intelligence and conduct joint verification!
The workload was so immense that we hadn't anticipated it at all. We lacked sufficient manpower, and progress was slow. But this action team was moving incredibly fast!
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Zhiheng, we underestimated the situation beforehand. The investigation is still ongoing, and the results are not yet available. Have you finished yours?"
Ning Zhiheng's lips curled into a cold smile. This Yu Cheng may appear to be a smiling Buddha, always greeting everyone with a smile.
But deep down, he looked down on the field staff of the Operations Section and even had designs on him. He wanted to teach him a lesson today and let him know that dealing with him was not such a simple matter!
“Our operations section has completed the investigation, and now we’re just waiting for your intelligence section to compile the results!” Ning Zhiheng’s words clearly carried a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Old Yu, when you were reporting to the director, your section chief Gu patted his chest and said that you would catch this hidden high-level spy within two days, but now you haven't even finished the investigation!"
Don't forget, this is a joint case involving two of our departments. Your work will severely delay the entire case's progress. If the division chief blames you, who will take responsibility?
Ning Zhiheng's words left Yu Cheng speechless. He hadn't expected Ning Zhiheng to suddenly turn hostile and attack him, and for a moment he was at a loss for words.
"Old Yu, I'm the case executor directly appointed by the director. If there are problems with the case, I can't shirk my responsibility. Now that your intelligence section is making slow progress, our action section can't take the blame for you. If we had known you weren't paying enough attention to this case, we would have taken charge of the investigation from the beginning!"
"I will now report the situation to the section chief and conduct an arrest and investigation of the suspicious target. Don't blame us for not giving you advance notice!" Ning Zhiheng did not give Yu Cheng any room for argument. He had to teach Yu Cheng a lesson and use this opportunity to give him a warning.
"Zhiheng, Zhiheng! Don't be in such a hurry! My investigation is almost finished. Just wait a little longer!" Yu Cheng realized that Ning Zhiheng was serious. He had heard that this young man was ruthless and had a strong ability to act, but he never expected him to be so fast!
The investigation was completed in such a short time; in comparison, the intelligence department's actions were indeed too backward.
If he were to expose this to his superiors now, and the section chief, who was already extremely dissatisfied with the intelligence department, were to find out that the intelligence department was dragging its feet and delaying the progress of the investigation, he would simply not be able to bear such responsibility!
But just as he was about to explain further, Ning Zhiheng slammed down the phone!
Wang Shucheng, who was standing nearby, overheard Ning Zhiheng and Yu Cheng's conversation. Seeing his team leader hang up the phone abruptly with an extremely firm attitude, he couldn't help but worry and said, "Team leader, are we really going to report this? We've really offended them!"
