Ning Zhiheng's current associates are all high-ranking Japanese figures, such as Katsuta Takashi and Sagawa Taro, who are very attentive to him. Mid-level officers like Ishikawa Takeshi are even more subservient to him. Therefore, Ishikawa Takeshi now feels quite pressured when facing Ning Zhiheng and dares not be as casual as before.
Hearing Ning Zhiheng's slightly reprimanding tone, Ishikawa Takeshi felt a little intimidated. He hurriedly explained, "Zhiren, I'm so sorry. I was just too busy. It's that case I told you about last time. I've been in charge of the whole case from the beginning. I just couldn't get away. I thought we'd have a result soon, but these Chinese agents are too cunning. We were almost there, but for some reason, they suddenly disappeared without a trace. The radio waves we were tracking never reappeared, which made me very embarrassed."
Upon hearing this, Ning Zhiheng realized it was still about the same case. He had already reported the news to the Chongqing headquarters, but it seemed that the Director was prioritizing the overall situation and had informed the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS) about it, which allowed these CBIS agents to escape unscathed.
He pressed further, "Is it the group of Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics agents you mentioned before?"
"Yes, it's this group! It was supposed to be a sure thing, but then something unexpected happened. These people suddenly disappeared, and we only found their weakness yesterday. We tracked them all the way to Su Nan and caught them again, which brought the case to a close. I know you called me a few times, so I came here right away."
How did Ishikawa Takeshi still manage to succeed? What's wrong with these Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS) agents? They repeatedly allowed Ishikawa Takeshi to find loopholes, yet they still couldn't escape. What a bunch of useless fools, Ning Zhiheng thought to himself, secretly annoyed.
I wonder if these people know that my radio waves were being monitored by the Japanese military police. If they do know this and can't withstand the torture, they might leak the information, which would make me a suspect in leaking intelligence. However, judging from Ishikawa Takeshi's behavior, he doesn't seem to suspect me at all.
"You've caught them all?" Ning Zhiheng asked.
Takeshi Ishikawa shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I can only say most of them. I arrested eight people this time, but the leader of this organization escaped. I managed to get them to talk, but none of them have ever seen him. This leader is very mysterious, his code name is Bat. I don't have any leads right now, so I have to give up the pursuit for the time being. But I will catch him sooner or later!"
At this point, Takeshi Ishikawa slammed his right hand on the tea table, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes. He had spent nearly half a year and expended so much effort, only to fail to achieve his goal and capture some minor figures. The leader of the organization had even escaped. How could he swallow this insult?
A bat? The leader of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics' undercover team?
This is another important piece of information, but this time Ning Zhiheng does not intend to report this matter to headquarters. The capture of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics agent has brought him great danger. If the Military Police Headquarters traces the leaked radio waves, it will be easy to find him. Of course, given his current status, no one will dare to raise any objections to him unless there is solid evidence, but this is still an extremely dangerous signal.
These incompetent teammates! It turns out that the Japanese intelligence network in Shanghai is extremely strong. Despite my tipping them off, the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics' infiltrator team still couldn't escape annihilation. I must never risk my life for this again.
