Ning Zhiheng then asked, "How do your investigators communicate with the operatives of the Tanikawa Brigade?"
He Siming replied, "Only Akita Akihito makes the contact himself, but the timing of the contact is uncertain. He usually only makes the contact when he discovers valuable intelligence; otherwise, he won't go."
"Did he walk there? How long does it usually take to make a contact?"
"There are no other means of transportation here, only walking. As for the time, it is impossible to determine. A few times it took an hour and a half to get back, and once it took more than two hours."
Ning Zhiheng had a general idea of the area. The longer trip must have been delayed by something. He should calculate based on the shortest time. Walking round trip would take an hour and a half, so one way would be 45 minutes. At a fast walking speed, an average person could cover about 5 kilometers. This meant that the hiding place of the Guchuan Brigade was about 5 kilometers away from Guanyang Town. Whether it was a village or the countryside was uncertain. However, with this information, the area had been narrowed down considerably. With careful searching, it shouldn't be difficult to find.
With a bit more confidence, Ning Zhiheng felt much better and asked again, "Since the Tanikawa Battalion is the command center, how does it direct the actions of the other detachments?"
“They use radios. Each squad has one, and they make regular contact every so often, but I don’t know exactly how often they do,” He Siming answered honestly.
Ning Zhiheng thought for a moment, realizing that he had already wiped out one of the four plainclothes teams, Kobayashi's squad.
Meanwhile, the Tanikawa Battalion is hiding nearby. It would be best to pin this matter on Akita Akihito. The best way is to follow him and find the main force of the Tanikawa Battalion by following his trail.
Now He Siming has provided the approximate locations of the other two plainclothes teams. With the general locations in hand, he can begin his investigation.
Although the Wusongkou and Gaoqiao areas are vast, there aren't many places that can hide more than a hundred young men. If you're willing to search, you can still find them.
Through He Siming, he had basically figured out the general situation. All that was left was to work on the details. If he calculated it this way, he might be able to wipe out the entire undercover team in less than a month, or even half a month. Thinking of this, Ning Zhiheng was full of confidence. This time, following He Siming had been very fruitful.
But what should be done with He Siming now? It seems that this is all He Siming knows, so he's not of any value anymore. Thinking of this, Ning Zhiheng looked at He Siming with a half-smile, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes, and a slightly ferocious look appearing on his handsome face.
He Siming felt as if his blood had frozen. He wasn't stupid; from the very beginning, he had feared that Ning Zhiheng would ultimately eliminate him. Now, having explained everything, he noticed Ning Zhiheng's unfriendly expression and his heart sank. He quickly shouted, "Team Leader Ning, listen to me! I can serve you. I am also Chinese. Since joining the Special Higher Police, I have not provided a single piece of intelligence to the Japanese, nor have I stained my hands with a single drop of Chinese blood. Really, I swear to God!"
At this point, he quickly raised his finger high and shouted urgently, "I, He Siming, swear to Heaven that if I have uttered a single lie today, may I die a horrible death and never return to my hometown! Truly, truly!"
His eyes were fixed on Ning Zhiheng, as if afraid that he didn't believe him at all. After a long while, seeing Ning Zhiheng's expression gradually soften, he slowly lowered his hand.
Ning Zhiheng looked at He Siming and pondered for a moment, and he was indeed hesitant!
He didn't actually release the person just because of a vow. In this world, some people's vows are worth a thousand pieces of gold, they will keep their word, and they will even pay the price of their lives to achieve them.
But some people's vows are not even worth a penny. Human hearts are unpredictable, so why should he believe the vow of a stranger?
However, he suddenly had an idea. For various reasons, China's intelligence organizations had no intelligence sources within the Japanese intelligence agencies. Yet, Japanese spies were spread throughout all levels and important departments in China. This made the Military Intelligence Investigation Bureau extremely nervous and on edge whenever it heard about Japanese spies. This put China in an awkward position of being attacked without being able to fight back on the intelligence front!
But now an opportunity has presented itself; should I give it a try?
He Siming is Chinese, but he holds Japanese citizenship. Moreover, he has undergone strict vetting by the Special Higher Police and has been recommended by his teacher, so there is no problem with his status as a member of the Special Higher Police.
If he could truly be used by him and infiltrate the Special Higher Police, Japan's highest-level intelligence agency, and with the trust and support of his mentor, Akita Akihito, he might be able to obtain a higher position and access more classified intelligence, which would be of great significance to his future intelligence work!
This means that he will achieve a breakthrough in the intelligence war against Japan, becoming the first person to drive a nail into the Japanese intelligence department. From now on, he will have his own intelligence source in the Japanese intelligence department, which is extremely important to Ning Zhiheng.
This time, however, the intelligence He Siming provided was extremely valuable. It is conceivable that if he were truly dedicated to serving his country, he could bring even more valuable intelligence in the future.
Thinking of this, Ning Zhiheng secretly made up his mind that this time it was definitely worth a try. Besides, even if He Siming was just feigning surrender, he would not suffer any loss.
