"So fast? Have they all been arrested?" Ning Zhiheng asked. He felt this wasn't like the intelligence department's style; otherwise, they would at least have followed them for a while. This direct arrest was quite unexpected.
Zhao Ziliang shook his head and laughed, saying, "They couldn't wait any longer. Yesterday, our action section carried out such a big operation, arresting twelve spies in one go. It put a lot of pressure on them. I saw that old guy's eyes were red. Besides, what he said makes sense. None of these spies who have been turned will remain silent. There's not much difference between arresting them and questioning them directly, so I agreed."
As you know, the intelligence section must find the Japanese spies within the deadline set by the director, otherwise Gu Zhengqi will be in serious trouble this time.
Zhao Ziliang explained the whole story clearly, and Ning Zhiheng finally understood the gist of it. The main work of the intelligence and action departments had now been completely shifted to Gu Wenshi's case. The follow-up work of the investigation team that was arrested yesterday had also been taken over by other action teams. Ning Zhiheng's work in Nanjing had come to an end. Although he still had some questions and clues, he didn't have time to investigate them. He could only wait until he returned from Hangzhou. Nothing was more important than the safety of his family.
Thinking of this, he asked Zhao Ziliang for leave. Zhao Ziliang solemnly instructed him again to make sure he brought enough people back to Hangzhou and to ensure that safety was taken into account.
Ning Zhiheng went out and quickly went to the equipment department. He found Cui Guohao and said directly, "Brother Cui, I need twenty clean Browning pistols and two thousand rounds of ammunition. Can you do that?"
Cui Guohao was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized that this was definitely not for the action team. He quickly got up, went out of the room to check outside, and after confirming that no one was there, he turned around, locked the door, and said to Ning Zhiheng, "Zhiheng, is it convenient for you to tell me what it's for? Of course, it's okay if you don't tell me!"
Ning Zhiheng smiled slightly and said truthfully, "I'm going back to my hometown of Hangzhou this time to arrange for them to move west to Chongqing. The journey is long, and I'm worried about them. I'll give these guns and bullets to my family for self-defense. What do you think? Any problems?"
Ning Zhiheng was able to approach Cui Guohao because he knew of Cui's abilities. The Military Intelligence Investigation Department was a privileged department that could be given priority in the allocation of supplies, and firearms and ammunition were supplied without restraint. The profits from this were extremely high. As the head of the Equipment Section, Cui Guohao naturally had his own connections to make a living off the resources he had.
Hearing Ning Zhiheng say this, Cui Guohao immediately felt relieved. He was afraid that Ning Zhiheng would use these guns for dirty work and end up getting himself into trouble!
He gestured for Ning Zhiheng to sit down, turned around and poured him a cup of tea, chuckling, "Your brother here in the equipment department may not have much else, but you can have as many guns and ammunition as you want. However, Zhiheng, if you only want one or two, I can get them for you right now. But you want a lot, and so many bullets. It's not good for me to do this, so you'll have to go outside to get the goods."
"Okay, everything according to the rules. We're leaving tomorrow. Get everything ready today, and I'll send someone to pick it up immediately," Ning Zhiheng nodded and said.
Cui Guohao phrased it tactfully, but the meaning was clear: these weapons cost money, after all, this business wasn't just his.
Ning Zhiheng had no intention of taking the weapons for free, as that would be against the rules. Although his current status was different, firmly suppressing Cui Guohao, things were not like that, and money should not be spared where it was necessary.
