When Ning Zhiheng arrived at Huimin Grain Store, Ji Hongyi had already been waiting there for a long time. Seeing Ning Zhiheng enter the back room, Ji Hongyi said, "I have found your subordinate Sun Jiacheng. He asked me to tell you that, including him, there are a total of eight team members who can dive and are ready to receive your orders at any time."
Ning Zhiheng nodded, which meant that three of his men could not participate in the operation, so they were a bit short-handed. They had to devise a plan, and the next step was to figure out what method to use to approach the target.
He thought for a moment, then looked at Ji Hongyi and asked, "We definitely can't get into the safe house where those four traitors are hiding, but I have an idea. What do you think?"
"What's your idea?" Upon hearing that Ning Zhiheng had a plan, Ji Hongyi quickly straightened up and asked.
Ning Zhiheng continued, "You said yesterday that these four traitors would meet at the Suzhou Bridge after leaving the checkpoint and then return to the safe house. So they would eat dinner in this safe house. Can you think of a way to prevent them from cooking in the kitchen and force them to eat outside?"
Ji Hongyi's eyes lit up, and he slammed his hand on the table, saying, "This is a good idea. As long as we don't operate inside that tortoise shell, there's still a chance."
Ning Zhiheng continued, "My initial idea is to tamper with the water source, find the water pipes in this courtyard and destroy them, so that they cannot wash and cook in this courtyard for a short period of time. They will definitely look for a place to solve the problem of eating. In this way, can we find the leak and take down these four traitors in one fell swoop?"
Upon hearing Ning Zhiheng's words, Ji Hongyi nodded and said, "It's worth a try. It's better than sitting here helplessly. This courtyard is an old residence, so it's not difficult to find the water pipes. We have people in the water supply company. I'll arrange for someone to investigate immediately and get back to you tomorrow night!"
"Bring me another camera tomorrow!" Ning Zhiheng added.
“No problem, I’ll bring it to you tomorrow,” Ji Hongyi readily agreed.
After the two finished discussing, Ning Zhiheng left Huimin Grain Store.
The next day, Ning Zhiheng spent the whole day in his office organizing the manuscript. To be honest, Uehara Junpei's manuscript was indeed of average quality. The overall concept was bland and unremarkable, and the narrative lacked a clear focus, but the plot did have some outstanding aspects.
Ning Zhiheng had a good literary background in his previous life, and he was used to writing, so he was very skilled at it. In addition, his appreciation and vision were decades ahead of his time. It can be said that his writing ability far surpassed that of General Uehara Junpei.
Therefore, there was no difficulty in compiling this manuscript; in fact, it enhanced the original text in terms of narrative style and diction, elevating the entire work to a higher level.
He organizes the manuscript very quickly, and believes it will only take about ten days to complete. Finally, he will just need to copy it once more to finish.
When it was time to leave work in the afternoon, Ning Zhiheng rushed to Huimin Grain Store, met with Ji Hongyi, and asked about the progress of the matter.
Ji Hongyi said, "The matter has been investigated and clarified. Our people have found the water pipes controlling that compound. I told him to wait for my news."
The person Ji Hongyi was referring to must be a member of the gang working at the water supply company.
Ning Zhiheng thought for a moment and said, "Is this person reliable? Does he have a way to destroy the pipeline without letting anyone notice?"
Ji Hongyi nodded and said, "Don't worry, this person is one of our old acquaintances, there won't be any problems!"
I also asked how to sabotage the water supply system, and he said it depends on the situation. If you just want to stop the water for a day, you can tamper with the valves and replace them. The water company's maintenance personnel can do it in a day or even a few hours.
If you want to shut off the water for an extended period, it's more complicated. You can intentionally damage the pipes, then use sulfuric acid to corrode the damaged areas, causing a leak. Then, you can cover it up so that from the outside it looks like long-term rust and corrosion, making it difficult to spot. Replacing the entire pipe would take the water company at least four to five days.
Upon hearing this, Ning Zhiheng smiled and said, "The longer the better, of course. This way we will have enough time to observe their movements. Once everything is ready, we can begin our operation."
Ji Hongyi nodded and said, "I'll arrange for him to start right away. This corrosion process will take at least a day and must be done secretly, so don't worry."
Ning Zhiheng nodded and said, "I know. Where's the camera I asked for?"
Ji Hongyi quickly fetched a camera, which Ning Zhiheng carefully put away.
Meanwhile, in the safe house set up by the Special Higher Police, in this courtyard, Japanese plainclothes officers escorted back the four traitors from the military intelligence stations they were protecting.
The leader was none other than the action team leader, Watanabe Daichi. Since escaping back to Shanghai from Ning Zhiheng's clutches, he had been in China for many years and was familiar with the mentality of the Chinese people. He was also fluent in Chinese, so he was specially assigned by Imai Yuji to be in charge of interrogating and protecting the four traitors.
"Mr. Yu, thank you all for your hard work today. I specially asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite Chinese dishes. Please enjoy your meal!" Watanabe Daichi led the four people into the restaurant, where a table was already set with dishes and several bottles of baijiu.
Watanabe Daiji continued, "The army doctor will come tonight to change your dressings. These minor injuries will heal quickly."
Apart from Yu Li, the other three people here all had wounds of varying degrees of torture, and Japanese military doctors had to come and change their dressings every day for the past few days.
Yuji Imai specifically instructed that these Chinese agents be treated well, especially Yu Li, whose section chief, Taro Sagawa, was planning to give him an important position in the future.
