The military intelligence office is a paramilitary unit; once a military order is issued, no one dares to delay it.
An hour later, the team members assembled and waited for orders. Liang Deyou and two others reported to Wei Liangbi.
Wei Liangbi informed Liang Deyou that he would be temporarily transferred to serve as an instructor for a period of one month.
Liang Deyou didn't think anything was wrong after hearing this, because he had also heard about the staff being seconded from various departments to train new employees.
He hadn't expected to be assigned to this task, but it wasn't a bad thing. He didn't delay and accepted the order.
After Liang Deyou left, Wei Liangbi relayed the order to the remaining three officers: "The Third Action Team shall begin work immediately. Ning Zhiheng shall be in charge of the work during this period, with Shi Hong and Wang Shucheng assisting. No slackening is allowed!"
Shi Hong and Wang Shucheng were both surprised to hear this. Liang Deyou was on temporary assignment, so logically Shi Hong should be taking over the work.
However, Shi Hongjue did not dare to question Wei Liangbi's decision, because he was well aware of his superior's methods.
Wang Shucheng's reaction was much milder. As fellow newcomers from the Baoding system, Ning Zhiheng was easier for him to get along with, since their relationship was much better than Liang Deyou's. Besides, it was only for a month, so what did it matter who was the team leader?
Wei Liangbi continued, "Zhiheng has an important lead in hand. He is familiar with the situation and will arrange the specific work."
Then he said to Ning Zhiheng, "If there are any problems that require my intervention, report them promptly. Don't force yourself to do anything, and especially be careful and don't be careless!"
Wei Liangbi considered that although Ning Zhiheng was shrewd and capable, he was still new to being a secret agent and it was inevitable that he lacked some experience. He should keep a close eye on him.
He even planned to bring in some experienced investigators from other teams to help Ning Zhiheng. However, that was only if Ning Zhiheng made no progress.
Ning Zhiheng stood at attention: "Please rest assured, team leader, we will do our best to complete the task in the shortest possible time!"
Wei Liangbi nodded, signaling Shi Hong to follow, then turned and went out to his office.
Watching Wei Liangbi and Shi Hong leave, Wang Shucheng stepped forward and patted Ning Zhiheng's arm affectionately: "Great job! You've only just arrived and you're already in charge. The team leader really values you. From now on, I'll be working under you."
"Don't flatter me, it's just a one-month agency. If you want, I'll let you do it," Ning Zhiheng replied with a smile.
"Forget it, I'm not good at worrying about things that require a lot of effort. I'd rather obey orders and follow instructions." Wang Shucheng said indifferently.
Soon Shi Hong pushed the door open and came in. He looked to be in good spirits, probably because Wei Liangbi had explained things to him.
Ning Zhiheng then began to explain the situation. He recounted the case analysis to the two men and then showed them the photos in the document bag.
Both of them looked serious after hearing this. So that's what happened. They were surprised that Ning Zhiheng had done so much work quietly over the past few days, and they couldn't help but admire him.
I've been relaxing and trying not to think about work-related troubles these past two days, but Ning Zhiheng didn't rest at all and caused this mess. No wonder the team leader values him.
It's not that I'm afraid of others being smart, it's that I'm afraid of smart people who are also more hardworking and diligent than me! That's awkward!
"The most urgent task now is to find Wang Yunfeng. Brother Hong, you take ten team members to monitor No. 402 Beihua Street. Once you spot the suspect, arrest him on the spot, and make sure he's alive," Ning Zhiheng ordered.
Shi Hong dared not delay and nodded in agreement.
It is still uncertain whether Wang Yunfeng has been alerted, so this No. 402 must be closely monitored.
There is a high chance that Wang Yunfeng will reappear here. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and we must not miss it.
"Shucheng and I went to various police stations in Jinling to check household registration files and compare them with the photos on the household registration cards to identify suspicious persons as soon as possible."
In 1931, the 21st year of the Republic of China, the Republic of China government promulgated the first Household Registration Law in Chinese history, stipulating that household registration and population surveys should be carried out to understand the population distribution in various places.
Because Nanjing was the capital, this work was done in particular detail.
During this period, it wasn't called an ID card, but a household registration card. The information required was very detailed, including name, gender, age, address, place of origin, education level, occupation, relationship to the head of household, ID number, and other standard information.
The household registration cards all have photos attached, and even detailed descriptions of obvious physical characteristics, such as being left-handed, having a limp, or having a pockmarked face.
For example, Chiang Kai-shek's household registration number was the number 1, and Soong Mei-ling's household registration number was also the number 1.
Through extensive screening, the search area for the target has been narrowed down. As long as Wang Yunfeng's public cover identity has a legitimate household registration, it will only be a matter of time before he is found.
Once the tasks and personnel were assigned and the photos were distributed to each team member, everyone immediately set to work.
