Ning Zhiheng and Zhao Ziliang chatted for a few more minutes before Ning Zhiheng took his leave. After this incident, the relationship between the two became even closer, and Zhao Ziliang opened his heart to Ning Zhiheng, with no more barriers between them.
Zhao Ziliang was about to set off for Hangzhou to deal with Japanese spies, while Ning Zhiheng also had to face his own problems. He returned to his office and immediately summoned all the officers under his command.
Looking at his numerous officers, Ning Zhiheng instructed, "You are to do something important now. Split up and lead your men to search the detention centers and prisons of various police stations in Nanjing. You can even search inside the police stations. If you find any young men who resemble me in appearance and build, bring them back immediately for me to screen. The sooner the better. Do you understand?"
"Understood," the officers replied in unison. They didn't know why their leader had given this order, but military orders were absolute, and they only needed to carry them out.
Ning Zhiheng signed the notice of assistance and put his name on it, then instructed his subordinates to take the necessary documents and process the matter as quickly as possible.
Ning Zhiheng thought about it all night yesterday and finally came up with a plan: to lure the snake out of its hole.
Since someone is targeting him and searching for his whereabouts everywhere, he will show himself and see what they want to do.
Is it an assassination attempt? An arrest? Or simply an investigation? If it's just an investigation, then the situation is manageable. But if it's an arrest or assassination attempt, then the danger is much greater. The most difficult thing to guard against is an assassination attempt. All it takes is for a skilled gunman to pull the trigger with a long gun from a distance of 100 meters. No matter how strong your own warning ability is, you cannot guarantee your safety.
Therefore, he cannot take the risk himself, so he needs someone to act as bait in his place. However, he cannot just find anyone to act as bait, because he does not know the extent to which the other party knows about his situation.
He had considered sending any team member to impersonate him, but after thinking it over, he felt it was inappropriate. If the other party knew his appearance and physique well enough, or was someone who had seen him before, then doing so would only arouse their suspicion.
Ning Zhiheng is a very detail-oriented person. He considers problems repeatedly and never reveals the slightest flaw.
Finally, he decided that he had to find a double who looked extremely similar to him to act as bait and complete this very dangerous mission. However, searching for a double outside would be too conspicuous and might attract the attention of those with ulterior motives. It would be best to find a double in prison. If he couldn't find one in the end, he would expand his search to Nanjing. In the vast sea of people, it wouldn't be difficult to find someone who looked similar to him among millions of people.
At Ning Zhiheng's command, his operatives sprang into action, like a giant comb, thoroughly examining all the major detention centers and prisons in Nanjing.
The next morning, Wang Shucheng knocked on the door and came in to report: "Reporting to the team leader, we split up and spent the whole day selecting six prisoners who are similar to you. They have all been brought here now."
Ning Zhiheng nodded after hearing this and said, "I'll go take a look right away."
Ning Zhiheng and Wang Shucheng left the office and went to the conference room, where they saw six prisoners squatting against the wall, two of whom were wearing heavy shackles, clearly two serious offenders.
Sun Jiacheng, Zhao Jiang, and others were standing to the side. When they saw Ning Zhiheng come in, they quickly stepped forward and reported, "Team leader, we have found these six criminals, two of whom are death row inmates."
Ning Zhiheng nodded, walked up to the six prisoners, and said softly, "All of you, stand up!"
These six prisoners were brought here in a daze, with no idea what was going on. But seeing these heavily armed soldiers around them, they were naturally filled with unease. Upon hearing Ning Zhiheng's words, they all quickly stood up.
Ning Zhiheng took a closer look and, sure enough, their height and build were very similar to his own, only their faces were slightly different.
Ning Zhiheng has a unique ability to recognize human faces. He focuses on observing the shape of the head, the facial features, the distance between the eyebrows and eyes, etc. His eyesight is much more accurate than that of the average person.
These six people were selected, and they all had a certain resemblance to Ning Zhiheng. Ning Zhiheng came to them, reached out and turned their faces to look at them one by one, carefully distinguishing them. These six people did not know what the young officer in front of them was going to do, and dared not say anything as he was handled like a watermelon. In the end, Ning Zhiheng went through the faces of all six people, then turned around and walked to a prisoner.
This was one of the two death row inmates. He was very young, and his pale face showed signs of panic. His white shirt had been whipped to shreds, revealing streaks of blood, but fortunately, there were no injuries on his face.
As Ning Zhiheng walked up to him, his icy gaze sweeping across his face, he was so frightened that his lips trembled and he dared not make a sound. He did not know what this young officer was going to do to him, or what fate awaited him. He was filled with fear and unease.
Ning Zhiheng waved his hand and said, "Send everyone else back to prison, but keep this one."
The officers quickly acknowledged the order and led the other five men away.
Ning Zhiheng instructed again: "Give him a hot bath, cut his hair short like mine, change him into one of our clothes, take him to the infirmary to treat his wound, and then bring him to my office."
“Yes!” Sun Jiacheng replied.
An hour later, Sun Jiacheng brought the clean-up young inmate to Ning Zhiheng's office.
