Ning Zhiheng gave the order, and the interrogation personnel arranged the cells accordingly. Anyone who was insignificant or of no value was put together. Of course, these people would be eliminated soon afterward.
At 3 a.m., an enforcement team finally arrived from Yubei. This team was dispatched by Huang Xianzheng to arrest the remaining members of the Japanese spy network.
After receiving the order, they launched an attack at top speed. When they arrived at the Japanese spy camp, the nine guards had not yet received news of the mission's failure. They were caught off guard and were ambushed by the law enforcement team. Five were killed, two were captured alive, and two escaped.
Finally, the enforcement team thoroughly searched the base and seized a radio and a large amount of valuables and weapons, all of which were sent to Operations Division Two. The weapons alone filled an entire truck. Unfortunately, the codebook was taken away by those who escaped.
At this point, most of the armed groups within the Japanese intelligence network were eliminated, except for a few who managed to escape.
Overnight, under Ning Zhiheng's leadership, the Second Operations Division launched two major operations, killing 31 Japanese spies, arresting 42, and seizing six radios and five codebooks. The amount of money and property confiscated was also countless, making it the biggest success since the start of the crackdown.
In terms of intelligence value, it has far surpassed previous drug cases.
In the conference room, the director looked at the row of radios and codebooks in front of him with a big smile on his face. He couldn't stop smiling. He would pick up a codebook from time to time and flip through it. What a great discovery this was!
The operation has provided the decryption team with a large number of Japanese spy codebooks so far, and it is believed that the previously stalled code-breaking work will soon make progress.
Bian Ze and Gu Zhengqi were filled with mixed feelings as they looked at the scene before them. Gu Zhengqi, in particular, made no attempt to hide the envy in his eyes and repeatedly expressed to Ning Zhiheng that the two departments could further cooperate and share resources.
Since the start of the interrogation, the officers of the Second Operations Division have been stationed in the interrogation room, taking turns using the only three interrogation rooms according to the order in which the suspects were captured. Once it was their turn, they would rush into the interrogation room and begin to interrogate their targets under torture.
The interrogation team once again faced a bittersweet period. From the team leader to the ordinary interrogators, everyone was fully booked and working at full capacity, intensely engaged in the interrogation work.
Fortunately, with Wei Liangbi personally overseeing the operation this time, things were finally in good order, and there were no arguments or disputes like last time. The efficiency was very high.
The two bureau chiefs had also stayed up all night. Seeing that all the work in the Second Division was in good order, they gave Ning Zhiheng a few instructions and then left with peace of mind.
After seeing off the two bureau chiefs and handing over all matters to Wei Liangbi, Ning Zhiheng left the Second Operations Division and rushed to the safe house where Tanikawa Chiemi lived.
When Leng Qing saw Ning Zhiheng arrive, she quickly went to greet him and led him into the house. At this moment, Tanikawa Chiemi was sitting on the sofa in the living room, flipping through several of today's newspapers.
Seeing Ning Zhiheng enter, he nodded slightly in acknowledgment and sat down. Pointing to the pile of newspapers, he asked, "How are things? Are your men alright?"
Ning Zhiheng knew that Tanikawa Chiemi checked several newspapers every day to see if there were any unusual occurrences in her intelligence team.
Chiemi Tanikawa shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Lie still, stop all intelligence activities, and wait for instructions to be awakened. What problems could there be? Actually, there's nothing to see anyway, since it's meaningless now."
Now that she's in Ning Zhiheng's hands, what's the point of reading those newspapers anymore? It's just a matter of habit.
Ning Zhiheng thought about it and realized that this made sense. These people were just fish in his net, and he could catch them whenever he wanted.
"Ms. Tanikawa, I have something to report to you. Just last night, an armed group from the Japanese intelligence network suddenly launched an assassination attempt against me. However, thanks to your warning, I was prepared and thwarted the operation, wiping out the entire armed group. Their leader, Kensuke Matsui, was killed in a hail of bullets, and all the members were dealt with. For this, I should thank you, Ms. Tanikawa!"
Upon hearing this, Chiemi Tanikawa's lips curved slightly upward, revealing a bright and charming smile. She said softly, "Director, you're too kind. As long as you remember my contributions, that's enough. But I also want to congratulate you on another major breakthrough in the operation to dismantle the intelligence network. My organization, Keio Moriki's organization, and Kensuke Matsui's organization have all been destroyed. What are your plans for the future?"
Ning Zhiheng came here for this very reason. His next target was the last group of spies in the intelligence network, the observation team led by Matsuda Jiro.
However, he had no clue about Matsuda Jiro, so he came to ask Tanikawa Chiemi for help. This woman had a deep understanding of the senior Japanese agents at the Wuhan headquarters, and perhaps she could help him find this last intelligence chief.
"This time, I'm still here to seek Miss Tanikawa's help. According to Moriki Keio's confession, there are still two or three observation teams in Chongqing that are specifically responsible for observing the weather and have not yet been captured. Their leader is named Matsuda Jiro. I wonder what you know about this person?"
"Matsuda Jiro?"
Chiemi Tanikawa's eyes lit up, and a strange smile appeared on her lips.
"It was him! What a coincidence!"
Ning Zhiheng was overjoyed upon hearing this. It was obvious that Tanikawa Chiemi knew enough about Matsuda Jiro, which meant that she might be able to find Matsuda Jiro for herself, just as she had found Moriki Keio.
His face immediately lit up with a smile, and he said, "Miss Tanikawa, I can tell you're familiar with this person. Tell me about him!"
Just as Ning Zhiheng was overjoyed, Tanikawa Chiemi hesitated. She looked at Ning Zhiheng, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Director, you're right. I know Matsuda Jiro quite well, and I can even find him for you, but..."
Ning Zhiheng was taken aback, but then he realized that Tanikawa Chiemi was going to negotiate with him.
His expression remained unchanged, and he continued to smile warmly as he said gently, "Miss Tanikawa, we have an agreement. If you have any further requests, please feel free to tell me, and I will do my best to fulfill them."
But Chiemi Tanikawa gritted her teeth and said, word by word, "I think the day I find Jiro Matsuda will be the day you, Director Ning, make your move against me, won't it?"
