"Yes, I will definitely do as you say!" Liu Datong replied repeatedly.
Ning Zhiheng then took out a file bag and said to Liu Datong, "I'm giving you a task now, something you've always done before. Here are six portrait photos, all of whom are Japanese spies who may be lurking in Chongqing. Their entry into Chongqing started about three months ago. You need to screen out all the people in Chongqing who fit the description and then report back to me."
Ning Zhiheng himself had the leads for this case and did not intend to hand it over to others. Miyahara Ryohei was already under Miao Yongyi's surveillance, but the other six Japanese spies were still missing. Based on the importance of their subordinates' identities, they should all be personnel in important government departments. If he was not mistaken, these lurking Japanese agents should have entered Chongqing with their subordinates. However, Chongqing now has a population of over one million, and most of them are migrant workers. It is easy to imagine how difficult it would be to find a few targets among so many people.
Liu Datong was one of the earliest people to follow me on the periphery. He has never made a mistake in doing things and always carries out my orders without fail. Now, as the police chief, he not only has access to the household registration information of the locals, but is also responsible for registering the ever-increasing influx of migrants. With a large number of people under his command, he is the best person to do this job.
Upon hearing this, Liu Datong quickly stepped forward to take the file bag, patted his chest, and assured him, "Please rest assured, Director. I may not be good at other things, but when it comes to finding someone in Chongqing, there is no one more suitable than me. I will make arrangements immediately, cast a wide net, and find the person as soon as possible."
Ning Zhiheng nodded and said, "This mission is different from the one in Nanjing. There is a new requirement: we must not make a big fuss. You need to send someone to take charge. I think it would be good to let Yanqing take charge. He is meticulous and serious about his work."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yanqing immediately stood up at attention, tapped his heel, and said loudly, "Please rest assured, Chief, I will do my utmost to complete this task!"
Ning Zhiheng nodded, then instructed: "You must select the most reliable personnel to form a special task force, with Yanqing in charge and Datou, you provide full support. Secretly investigate these six Japanese spies. Remember, once you find them, you must not alert them. I only need to know where they are. I will have more professional agents handle the rest. This operation is top secret. All participants are ordered to remain silent. Do not tell your parents, wives, or children. Anyone who dares to disobey will be dealt with according to military law without leniency!"
Ning Zhiheng's voice grew increasingly stern, reiterating the importance of secrecy in the operation, which made Liu Datong and Chen Yanqing dare not be negligent in the slightest and quickly accept the order.
"After the mission is completed, save the list and wait for my instructions. Also, I have a lot of work at headquarters, and my whereabouts are often confidential, so I will notify you if anything happens. If you can't find me, you can contact me through my senior brother Wei Liangbi. Understand?" Ning Zhiheng instructed.
Although Liu Datong and Chen Yanqing were unaware of the situation, they knew that Ning Zhiheng's orders were never to be disobeyed, so they quickly nodded in agreement.
