Fortunately, according to He Siming, Wuhan authorities were aware of his arrest, and more than two months had passed, so they should have taken some preventative measures. However, it still resulted in the loss of an intelligence infiltration team.
"Let's put Wen Hao's matter aside for now. I'll make a decision after I consult with headquarters. You tell me about the five traitors who were hiding in the shadows," Ning Zhiheng said. After all, these were traitors from the Central Party Affairs Investigation Department, and they had their own anti-traitor task force. They should have their own arrangements for these matters. He had many other things to attend to and couldn't worry about them for the time being.
He Siming continued, "I didn't see any of the five traitors, but his superiors were the agents who went to Nanjing with me. I knew these people before, but we didn't know each other very well."
Ning Zhiheng frowned and asked, "Can you remember what they look like?"
"I can remember their appearance, of course. We spent a lot of time together, so I remember their faces. But I don't know their hidden identities. It was all arranged by the teacher. He knew I lacked experience, so he didn't give me any specific tasks. I just ran errands throughout the operation."
"Is there anything else to add?" Ning Zhiheng was slightly disappointed. It seemed that Akita Akihito was very meticulous in his work, and even He Siming did not involve him.
He Siming thought for a moment and then said, "There was another thing. Just before we were about to come back, the teacher asked me to give some money to one of the liaisons. This intelligence officer was named Miyahara Ryohei, 29 years old. The agreed meeting place was in the lobby of the Lianfeng Hotel on Hubu Street in Wuhan. I put 50,000 yuan in a briefcase and handed it to him."
The Lianfeng Hotel on Hubu Street in Wuhan! Ning Zhiheng carefully noted it down, then asked, "Do you remember what clothes he was wearing at the time? What were his specific behaviors?"
"He was wearing a suit, the kind that's quite formal, like a company employee. He was in a hurry, and we didn't even have a chance to talk to him before he took the funds and left." He Siming was clearly prepared. He was very attentive to these situations. Before the operation, Ning Zhiheng had specifically instructed him to observe more and act less, to carefully observe and write down the situation, and to report back to Ning Zhiheng.
Ning Zhiheng thought carefully for a moment and slowly said, "Choosing this place and being in such a hurry means that this person's residence or workplace is nearby, and he took the time to meet with you."
Wearing a suit, he's likely a company employee or a government official, though a company employee is more probable. While some government officials wear suits, they more often wear Zhongshan suits. Furthermore, it's unlikely that Akita Akihito could have secured a position in the government in such a short time. Therefore, our initial assessment is that Miyahara Ryohei is working for a company near the Lianfeng Hotel. Based on the timing and his appearance, finding him shouldn't be difficult!
He Siming asked with difficulty, "Station Chief, are you planning to investigate and arrest these five informants?"
Ning Zhiheng glanced at He Siming and asked calmly, "Is there a problem?"
“These five informants are currently on a mission of infiltration. They will not be conducting any intelligence activities in the short term. If we investigate and arrest them now, it will be obvious that the other side will know that their exposure is due to problems with the Special Higher Police. As the person in charge of the operation, my teacher, Akita Akihito, will be the first to be implicated. At the same time, my identity will be difficult to conceal, and exposure will be almost certain!” He Siming said with difficulty.
He had been deeply concerned about this for some time. Although he had brought back such important intelligence, if Ning Zhiheng really caught these five informants based on the clues and intelligence he provided, then he would also expose his own existence to the enemy, which would be extremely dangerous.
Ning Zhiheng nodded in satisfaction. He Siming's ability to consider this point showed that he was clear-headed, thoughtful, and had weighed the pros and cons. He Siming had already begun to possess the qualities that an excellent special agent should have.
