Ning Zhiheng carefully reviewed the materials and formed his own judgment. He said in a deep voice, "We can't rely entirely on their information. We still need to do the necessary investigations. I will personally oversee this mission. You will stay in the French Concession to investigate the Japanese infiltrators. So much time has passed; it's time for a result. I suspect the reason the Shanghai station failed this time is because of those infiltrators. You need to take a multi-pronged approach and eliminate the other two infiltrators as soon as possible, otherwise they will become a hidden danger sooner or later."
Huo Yueze knew that the investigation into the undercover team had been slow, and that the director was not satisfied with his work over the past period.
He quickly nodded and replied, "Chief, I have something to report to you."
After saying that, he reported to Ning Zhiheng about the three suspicious targets he had asked Wang Haimin about earlier that day.
Ning Zhiheng asked in a deep voice, "Have there been any unusual phenomena surrounding these three targets recently?"
"No, according to our observation, they are behaving normally so far. Of course, we can't follow them too closely and can't completely guarantee that they haven't had contact with outsiders."
Ning Zhiheng thought for a while. So far, the three people were behaving normally. Apart from the two police officers behaving somewhat strangely and the timing of their appearance being rather coincidental, he had not found anything else suspicious.
As for the socialite An Ruwei, the only reason to suspect her was because she was the one who introduced these two police officers.
If these three people really have problems, then after ruling out the possibility of them being from the Shanghai station, the possibility of them being from the underground party is also very small, because the underground party would not use socialites as a means, which is determined by its organizational discipline.
The underground Communist Party had three main principles:
First, underground party organizations are not allowed to engage in assassination activities except for eliminating traitors.
Second, underground party organizations cannot simultaneously engage in armed struggle.
Third, underground party members do not use women to obtain intelligence.
It is precisely these three principles that make the work of the underground party different from the intelligence organizations of any other force. Their motives and purposes are purer, their cohesion and centripetal force are the strongest, and the loyalty of their members is the highest.
Excluding the two possibilities above, it can only be the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS) or the Japanese. The CBIS organization in Shanghai was recently dismantled by Takeshi Ishikawa, with only its leader, codenamed "Bat," escaping. It is also very unlikely that these three people are CBIS agents.
The remaining member of the Japanese undercover team spoke up: "Based on our analysis, it was two police officers who initially aroused our suspicion. They are indeed suspicious. Arrest these two officers first, interrogate them separately, and find out who they are. If they are indeed Japanese agents, then find a way to dig out the others. The Japanese stabbed us in the back, and we will retaliate!"
"Yes!" Huo Yueze nodded in agreement.
After the two broke up, Ning Zhiheng walked home. It was not easy for him to go out now, because since the assassination attempt, four more Japanese bodyguards had been added to his body, making his protection even more stringent.
Every time he was going out alone, he would make a point of explaining things to others so that Kimura Maki and the others wouldn't follow him.
Fortunately, Ning Zhiheng was the undisputed leader of the Fujiwara Company. Once he gave an order, the bodyguards dared not say a word. Even so, Ning Zhiheng did not dare to linger when he went out, trying his best not to cause his subordinates any unease.
Ning Zhiheng wore a top hat and turned up his collar to avoid attracting attention. He walked quickly down the street and soon arrived at the street near Xinle Park. Before long, he arrived at the entrance of Qing Shi Tea House.
He looked at the signboard and storefront of Qing Shi Tea House, which had been newly decorated and was already open for business. Several customers were coming and going from the store from time to time. The newly opened shop was already doing quite a bit of business, and it seemed to be doing well.
Ning Zhiheng turned around and walked along the corner of the street. Soon he arrived at the backyard of Qing Shi Tea House and found a newly opened back door. It seemed that the farmer had prepared in advance. After taking a good look at the surrounding terrain, Ning Zhiheng turned around and left.
