Ma Hong and Zhang Pei's group are now involved in the Shadow Group case, which has been taken over by the higher-ups in the Military Intelligence Department, so Ning Zhiheng can't get involved for the time being.
However, these are all small fry. After the case is over, the Central Party Affairs Investigation Department will definitely take him back. At that time, we can take action to get rid of Zhang Pei. Ning Zhiheng believes that with his skills, it shouldn't be difficult to find an opportunity to take his life!
Thinking of this, Ning Zhiheng grabbed his camera and rushed to the emergency room, only to find that Lu Ming's body had already been sent to the morgue.
He rushed to the morgue and took photos of Lu Ming's remains. He specifically instructed the staff to preserve the body properly so that he could choose a place with good feng shui for a proper burial after the case was closed.
By the time Ning Zhiheng got back to his office and developed the photos, it was already late at night, and he hurriedly rushed home.
The first thing he did when he got home was to quickly take out white paper and paintbrushes, so that he could draw a portrait of the person while the memory was still fresh.
This time, Lu Ming's memories provided relatively little information. The first scene was easy to understand; it was a scene from Lu Ming's childhood and could be disregarded.
The second image is his memory of combat life after joining the army; it merely shows that he was once a soldier, and has no practical use.
The third picture depicts the scene of him taking the oath when he joined the Red Party, which is also the most profound scene in Lu Ming's memory before his death. In it, there is a thin military officer who is his introducer to the Party. Judging from his age, this person is only middle-aged now and his appearance will not have changed much. It must be drawn so that if there is an opportunity to meet him in the future, Ning Zhiheng can immediately confirm his identity to facilitate his actions!
The fourth image should depict Lu Ming's beloved partner being shot and dying in his arms. With Lu Ming's death, her portrait no longer has any value.
The most important image is the fifth one, which reveals the most information. First, it mentions the sacrifice of a comrade named Boran, and then it mentions that Lu Ming took over his work and inherited his code name "Shadow"! Most importantly, it mentions the contact person codenamed Farmer. This person's portrait is key and must be drawn.
He wielded his pen swiftly, quickly sketching both of the people Lu Ming remembered. He then carefully added details and made annotations before finally putting down his pen with satisfaction.
Pushing aside the desk and opening the safe, he placed the portrait of Lu Ming's introducer inside. As for the farmer's portrait, he insisted on carrying it with him at all times.
The next morning, he rushed to the Military Intelligence Department and immediately summoned Shi Hong and Wang Shucheng. He distributed Lu Ming's photo to them and instructed them to lead their teams to various police stations in Nanjing to investigate household registration files, especially those reported as missing persons in the past few days. He told them to report all such cases to the Military Intelligence Investigation Department for unified compilation, and he believed that clues would be found soon!
The Military Intelligence Investigation Department subsequently issued a notice for assistance to all police stations, and a large net was cast over the entire city of Nanjing. The household registration departments of each police station worked overtime and found hundreds of citizens with similar appearances within two days.
They sent people to investigate the specific situation and quickly sent back a report. Among the more than one hundred people, they found the individuals in all of them except for Lu Guangran, the head of the Second Section of the National Defense Department of the Ministry of Finance, who had not been to work for two days.
Ning Zhiheng quickly notified the Ministry of Finance to come and claim the body. Soon, three staff members from the Ministry of Finance arrived and confirmed that the body was indeed Lu Guangran, the head of the Second Section of the National Defense Department of the Ministry of Finance.
They were all Lu Ming's former colleagues. Knowing that the usually honest and low-key Section Chief Lu was actually a member of the underground Communist Party, they did not dare to take back the body at the time, fearing that they would be targeted by the military intelligence investigation department and implicated. Moreover, Lu Guangran himself had no family members.
Ning Zhiheng hadn't originally intended for them to take the body away. After carefully inquiring about Lu Ming's work situation and home address, he let them go.
In just two days, Ning Zhiheng mobilized a vast amount of human resources and finally discovered Lu Ming's cover identity. This demonstrates the power of the state apparatus; by legitimately using the power of government departments, he easily achieved his goals!
As the investigator who arrested Lu Guangran, a member of the underground Communist Party, it was normal for him to conduct a routine investigation to confirm the identity of the body. No one would have thought of anything else!
He didn't bring anyone with him. Following the instructions from the Ministry of Finance personnel, he rushed to Lu Ming's house as soon as possible. It was a very remote house, but it was quite large, and the door was locked with a large padlock.
Ning Zhiheng first walked around and observed the surroundings. Finding no suspicious people, he went to the gate and took out a set of keys, which he had found on Lu Ming.
He knew that the people in the Party Affairs Investigation Department would eventually find out Lu Ming's identity and locate his home. Don't underestimate the capabilities of the Party Affairs Investigation Department. As one of the earliest intelligence and special agent departments in modern China, they have many experienced veteran agents. Finding out Lu Ming's identity would not be difficult. Moreover, Ning Zhiheng's search for Lu Ming had caused quite a stir, and their keen senses would soon find out. Therefore, Ning Zhiheng wanted to go in beforehand to check if there were any items that posed a threat to the underground party. He had to clear them out in time.
Lu Ming's house was large, after all, he was a government official. But apart from a few essential pieces of furniture, there were no extra decorations, so the house seemed quite empty!
Ning Zhiheng took out a pair of gloves and carefully tied two pieces of coarse cloth to his leather shoes. This was just in case, since the Party Affairs Investigation Department would definitely come to search Lu Ming's house in the future, and he didn't want to leave any trace!
He started by searching the living room, the coffee table, the sofa, the drawers, and so on—he searched almost every place where things could be hidden, but he found nothing of value.
