Since a hard approach isn't working, we'll have to resort to a softer one. We'll follow Lin Mucheng's trail from the shadows and find all the members of the Shadow Squad.
As for Lin Mucheng, he needs to consider it carefully and doesn't plan to arrest him unless absolutely necessary.
After all, he himself was a member of the Baoding faction in the military, and his mentor He Feng, whom he relied on, was also a key member of the Baoding faction. If he offended Lin Zhen, a big shot, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Just like Qian Zhong dealt with Kong Liangce, he eventually had to kill Huang Xiansheng to silence him, and the consequences are still endless! Like a time bomb, it might blow him to pieces any day in his future!
Is it necessary to tackle this tough problem? If it's really impossible, we can just keep him as a hidden piece, right?
Ning Zhiheng knew that many successful cases in the world were not perfect, and there were always twists and turns and compromises. As long as the ultimate goal was achieved, the success or failure of some details was not important.
He secretly memorized the contents of the file, and also warned the head of the Fourth Division's archives, reiterating that this investigation was a military secret, before leaving with a feigned look of disappointment.
Upon returning to the military intelligence department, he immediately called Liu Datong.
Liu Datong is a completely different person now. He has been promoted to police chief and has his own office, while Ning Zhiheng still has to share an office with Shi Hong and the others!
These past few days have felt like a dream for Liu Datong, as everyone's attitude towards him has completely changed.
His brothers who had followed him for many years were naturally elated, and almost all the patrol officers in their squad were transferred to his command as security guards. Director Tang didn't utter a single word of objection, addressing him as "Brother Liu" with such warmth and familiarity!
People who usually wouldn't even give Liu Datou a second glance rushed over from afar, all smiles and showering him with flattery.
Liu Datong had never been so glamorous in his life, and he was overjoyed and intoxicated by it.
Now everyone knows that Liu Datong has a powerful backer: the Military Intelligence Investigation Department. Every policeman knows what kind of department that is. With such a backer, he can do whatever he wants in this police station.
This office was specially chosen for him by Director Tang; it's the most spacious and bright office in the police station, and of course, it even has a dedicated office telephone line.
He was now comfortably leaning back in his office chair, the brewed tea still steaming, a cigarette dangling from his hand, looking quite content!
The phone rang, and he slowly picked it up. But when he heard the voice on the other end, he jumped up from his chair and hurriedly replied, "Commander Ning, it's me, Da Tou! What are your orders?"
"Big Head, I can't go into details over the phone. Come to the teahouse outside the Military Intelligence Department and wait for me. I have something to tell you to do!" Ning Zhiheng's voice came through the phone.
Having a telephone is convenient these days, but the specific details of a case can't be discussed over the phone. The military intelligence office's phone calls all have to be transferred through the telecommunications department, and sometimes there's even random wiretapping.
Many people don't discuss their private matters on the phone. Of course, except for a few high-ranking officials whose phones are on dedicated lines, no one dares to eavesdrop on their calls.
He took a document bag from his desk drawer, which contained several photos of Lin Mucheng.
He hurried to a teahouse not far from the entrance of the Military Intelligence Department. This Hongyun Teahouse also served as a restaurant. It was very clean and did good business. Ning Zhiheng had been a frequent customer there recently.
He went straight up to the second floor, found a private room by the window, ordered a pot of tea, and waited patiently for Liu Datong to arrive.
About half an hour later, Liu Datong hurried into the teahouse. Seeing Ning Zhiheng waving to him from the second floor, he quickly ran upstairs.
