Ning Zhiheng went straight to the interrogation department after leaving the house. He had been delayed for a while, but the interrogation of Ma Hong should have started by now. He wanted to listen in and gather more information so that he could get more clues. He couldn't miss this opportunity.
Just as they were about to reach the office building of the interrogation department, they saw Wei Liangbi leading Shi Hong, Shao Wenguang and others out of the interrogation department!
"Team leader, why are you out here? Weren't you supposed to be interrogating the criminals?" Ning Zhiheng asked in confusion.
Wei Liangbi waved his hand, then patted him on the shoulder, signaling him not to say anything more. The group returned to the action section in silence.
It was already late at night. After a long day of work, everyone else went home to rest.
Ning Zhiheng followed Wei Liangbi into his office. After closing the door, Wei Liangbi said, "This matter has blown up!"
"What exactly happened?" Ning Zhiheng pressed, confused by Wei Liangbi's nonsensical words!
Wei Liangbi then explained the situation in detail, revealing that all three arrest operations that day had been successful.
The first action was taken by the First Action Team to arrest Xuan Kangnian, the owner of De'an Trading Company. Lei Yichun had made preparations beforehand. While Xuan Kangnian was discussing business with someone, they suddenly attacked him. His bodyguards were caught off guard and were quickly subdued.
They initially thought the operation would go smoothly, but they never expected that Xuan Kangnian himself was a tactical genius.
He suddenly attacked and knocked down the approaching team members, then drew his gun and returned fire. Two team members were injured or killed on the spot. However, outnumbered, he was eventually shot and captured, a close call, but ultimately successful!
At the same time, Ning Zhiheng was anxiously waiting at Ma Hong's doorstep!
After being brought back, Xuan Kangnian was immediately interrogated. Yu Cheng and Wei Liangbi went all out from the start, and Xuan Kangnian couldn't even last two hours before he started confessing everything.
However, what he confessed was somewhat frightening. In the course of his years of intelligence gathering, he spent a lot of money to bribe several government officials, one of whom was even implicated in a high-ranking military government official.
Of course, these officials were only after money. Faced with enormous wealth, they had no scruples whatsoever. They had no idea that Xuan Kangnian was a Japanese spy, and even if they did, they probably wouldn't care. All they cared about was money! Truly, people die for wealth, just as birds die for food!
When Xuan Kangnian revealed the identity of this high-ranking official, Yu Cheng and Wei Liangbi immediately stopped the interrogation and reported to the director!
This matter is beyond the control of these two majors; it involves the high command of the military government! Even a division chief would have to be wary.
Their shoulders are too narrow to bear this burden! This is no ordinary case; the more we know, the greater the potential consequences!
As they expected, after hearing their report, the Chief immediately decided to keep the news under strict control and to personally interrogate the members of the Shadow Group. The Chief personally came to the interrogation department, and for a time, the atmosphere became tense, and the personnel in the interrogation department were on high alert, not daring to be negligent!
"You mean, we can't get involved in this case anymore?" Ning Zhiheng was also startled; the situation was that serious!
"Of course, but you and I don't need to worry. In fact, the bigger the matter, the more serious the situation, the more beneficial it is for us, which means that our contributions are greater!" Wei Liangbi was in a good mood.
He poured himself and Ning Zhiheng a cup of hot tea, and continued with a relaxed expression, "Actually, we have already completed the important work. The criminals have all been brought to justice. As for how to deal with them, that is not something we at this level can worry about!"
Ning Zhiheng took the teacup, lost in thought. He didn't press Wei Liangbi for details about the interrogation.
For example, the true identity of Xuan Kangnian, the name of that high-ranking military government official, etc., the Director must have given Wei Liangbi and Yu Cheng a gag order, and even if you ask Wei Liangbi, he won't say.
He thought for a moment, then asked, "Such a big case has been uncovered in just one Xuankang year. I wonder what the other two have found out? By the way, how is the second action team's arrest operation going?"
“An hour ago, we also successfully apprehended him. Old Lü did a clean and excellent job!” Wei Liangbi said with a smile.
The most successful operation was the capture of Dai Hongguang, the head of the transportation section of the military government, by the Second Action Team. Team leader Lü Yang set up an ambush on Dai Hongguang's way home from get off work and launched a surprise attack. Dai Hongguang had no chance to resist and was captured in one fell swoop! He is currently under interrogation!
"Old Shao said your capture of Ma Hong didn't go very smoothly this time?" Wei Liangbi had just heard Shao Wenguang's report and learned that Ning Zhiheng had personally arrested another underground member of the Red Party. "Didn't I tell you not to take risks yourself? You ignored me!"
Ning Zhiheng laughed somewhat awkwardly, "This old Shao, his tongue is faster than a woman's! The situation was special at the time, I was afraid we wouldn't be able to catch them alive, so I rushed in in a moment of panic!"
Wei Liangbi looked at Ning Zhiheng with some annoyance and said in a tone of disappointment, "You! You're too young and impetuous! What's so scary about an underground party member? If he dies, so be it. Is it worth risking your life for him?"
Can't you see the current situation? The Red Party's power is declining day by day. Now it is besieged by the army in a corner of the northwest and will be destroyed soon! What's the use of arresting underground party members? Only those good-for-nothings in the Party Affairs Investigation Department would do such a stupid thing.
Our most important opponent right now is the Japanese; they are the real adversary we need to be wary of!
Ning Zhiheng nodded repeatedly after being reprimanded by Wei Liangbi, promising that he would not act impulsively or take risks in the future.
"By the way, what about the underground party members you captured?" Wei Liangbi suddenly remembered to ask!
"He's dead! His injuries were too severe! As soon as they carried him in, the medic said he was beyond saving, and he passed away shortly after!" Ning Zhiheng said with a regretful expression.
