Just as Ning Zhiheng was interrogating Dai Anhe, Shao Wenguang knocked on the door and entered. Ning Zhiheng glanced at him, then got up and left the interrogation room. The two of them went to the side.
"Why are you so late? Did something go wrong with the arrest?" Ning Zhiheng asked in a low voice. He and Shao Wenguang had agreed on the same time for the arrest, so their late return must mean something unexpected had happened.
Shao Wenguang nodded and said, "There was a slight accident. After we boarded the ship and took control of the crew, they tried to jump into the river to escape, but we stopped them. Captain Shang Chengwang was injured, and it took us some trouble to get back."
"So that's what happened," Ning Zhiheng asked again. "Was a gun used? Is Shang Chengwang seriously injured? Will it affect the interrogation?"
"No gun was used, his injuries aren't serious, we can proceed with the interrogation!"
"Then let's not waste any more time. You immediately take charge of the interrogation and get them to talk, especially about their connections with other intelligence groups and the situation of the Yichang transportation group. Find out as soon as possible, and I'll send people to Yichang to take action immediately. If we're too late, they'll escape."
"Yes!" Shao Wenguang nodded in acceptance.
The Second Operations Division is an independent division with complete facilities, including two interrogation rooms that can interrogate prisoners simultaneously.
When Ning Zhiheng returned to the interrogation room, Dai Anhe could no longer withstand the intense torture and had fainted again.
"I don't have time to waste on them, especially with the electric chair."
Ning Zhiheng ignored all of this, poured coarse salt water over Dai Anhe to wake him up, dragged him down, and tied him to an electric chair.
Nie Tianming, who was standing to the side, was already quite frightened by the section chief's actions. He had never worked on a case with Ning Zhiheng before, and only knew that his section chief had a notorious reputation, but this was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes.
The intensity of the electric chair interrogation was astonishing. The first electric shock caused Dai Anhe to lose control of his bladder and bowels, and his muscles spasmed all over. When Ning Zhiheng questioned him again, he finally spoke.
Another hour passed before Ning Zhiheng finished the interrogation. He checked the time, waved for the interrogators to take Dai Anhe away, then got up and walked out of the interrogation room. Nie Tianming followed closely behind, and the two returned to Ning Zhiheng's office.
Ning Zhiheng placed the interrogation record on the table and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. Dai Anhe's words provided a lot of extremely valuable information, which gave Ning Zhiheng greater confidence in the subsequent crackdown operation.
"Tianming, you heard the interrogation just now. You need to get involved in this case. Now I'll tell you the details."
Ning Zhiheng then recounted the details of the case to Nie Tianming from beginning to end. Only then did Nie Tianming realize that the Japanese spy Yoshida Ryusuke, whom he had arrested, had actually uncovered such a crucial clue and even revealed the Japanese transportation channels in Chongqing.
"That's how it is. We've uncovered the entire Xinfeng Group one by one. Now we have a lot of leads. To put it bluntly, I'm confident I can cripple the Japanese spies in Chongqing. However, the transport group in Yichang is still at large. This group must have considerable influence in Yichang. They were even able to smuggle weapons and radios in. There must be someone in the local military cooperating with them..."
Just as Ning Zhiheng finished speaking, Zhao Jiang knocked on the door and entered, reporting, "Chief, Section Chief Shao requests an audience."
Ning Zhiheng's eyes lit up. This must mean the interrogation has yielded results. It seems Shao Wenguang's interrogation methods are quite impressive.
"Quickly, let him in!"
Shao Wenguang strode in, handed the interrogation record to Ning Zhiheng, and reported with a smile, "Chief, Shang Chengwang has spoken. Here are some of the findings I obtained. Please take a look!"
Ning Zhiheng clapped his hands and laughed, "Today is truly a good day. Everything is going smoothly. First, tell me about the transportation team in Yichang. What does Shang Chengwang know?"
Shao Wenguang replied, "Shang Chengwang also has a liaison in Yichang, who is the owner of a nearby business. If there are large items that need to be handed over, he is the one who makes the contact."
Ning Zhiheng also glanced through the interrogation records and nodded, saying, "Now we have two liaisons. With them, we can launch an operation against the undercover team in Yichang."
At this point, Ning Zhiheng pointed to the interrogation records and said to Nie Tianming, "I'm now giving you an important task."
Nie Tianming quickly stood at attention, awaiting the director's instructions.
"You will lead an action team and depart for Yichang today. I have already asked the vice-commander to allocate a fast ship for you to board directly at the Dongjiang military dock. As for Yichang, I will notify Director Feng of the local military law department to monitor these two targets first. If the targets get the news and try to escape, arrest them first and wait for you to take over the interrogation. If they do not escape, it means that the actions in Chongqing have not alerted the Japanese. You must also act quickly. After the secret arrest, you are responsible for uncovering this undercover team."
"Yes!" Nie Tianming dared not delay and stepped forward to accept the order.
Ning Zhiheng emphasized again: "Go and prepare. We'll be leaving in half an hour. Like I said, we need to be quick. We can't be sure of the Japanese reaction speed, so we must fight fast with fast."
Watching Nie Tianming leave, Ning Zhiheng turned to Shao Wenguang and said, "Old Shao, you'll be in charge of interrogating the other members of the Telegraph Team. You need to question each member in detail and verify the information they provide. Also, Dai Anhe's wife is the telegraph operator for the Telegraph Team, responsible for receiving and sending telegrams. When you interrogate her, be careful not to hurt her hands."
"Yes!" Shao Wenguang nodded in acceptance and left to quickly interrogate the other members of the Wind Transport Group.
Ning Zhiheng picked up the phone and called over Jian Zhengping, the head of the general affairs department.
