These clothes are definitely props he needs to disguise himself for his mission; all we need to do is let him try them on.
If the size is correct, then it can be confirmed that the clothes belong to him.
The team members searched almost every place they could, but still found nothing more.
"Zhiheng, this was found in the drawer." Wang Shucheng handed over a stack of banknotes.
Ning Zhiheng took the bills and counted them; there were only two hundred yuan in total.
"That's all the money? He's a major, a staff officer in the Central Army. His monthly salary is 120 yuan. But the only assets they found in his home were 200 yuan in legal tender. Do you believe that?" Ning Zhiheng waved the banknotes in his hand.
"Didn't find any bank passbooks?" Ning Zhiheng asked.
People in this era generally did not have the habit of depositing money in banks, mainly because of social unrest, the financial industry was relatively chaotic, and its credibility was low.
Ordinary people have low incomes and no spare money. Many wealthy people would rather bury chests of silver dollars in their basements than deposit them in banks.
The situation only improved last year when the legal tender was issued, the circulation of silver dollars was prohibited, and citizens were forced to exchange silver dollars for legal tender.
However, many people still have more faith in the real gold and silver they possess. They would rather secretly bury their accumulated gold bars and silver dollars than exchange them for legal tender.
Of course, as history has shown, these people were right. Those who exchanged silver dollars for legal tender, or even deposited their money in banks, all lost everything as China's fragile financial system collapsed rapidly.
“We’ve searched everywhere, but there’s no bankbook!” Wang Shucheng said.
“He’s a bachelor with no family to burden him, so he must have a lot of savings! Besides, as a Japanese spy, they’re not short of money, they wouldn’t be short of funds for their operations. This wouldn’t be a small amount, so where did all this money go?” Ning Zhiheng paced back and forth in the room, looking around, feeling like he had overlooked something.
“Add more manpower, and bring Hong Ge and the others over. Anyway, Huang Xiansheng has been caught, so we don’t need to stake out that 402 anymore. Let’s dig three feet into the ground and find him! That way, this case will be closed!” Wang Shucheng said unwillingly.
If a huge sum of money is found, Huang Xiansheng will be convicted of either espionage or embezzlement. In any case, the operation can be considered a success.
To be honest, he still wasn't 100% sure that Huang Xiansheng was a Japanese spy, and he was afraid of arresting the wrong person.
After all, the clues in the case were not obvious at the beginning. It was just that a person rented a house far away from his own residence and always avoided other people when he came and went, and his whereabouts were mysterious.
The only connection to the Japanese spy case is that this rented house is on Beihua Street, on Fu Cheng's usual route to and from get off work.
If Wei Liangbi hadn't been cautious and adhered to the principle of "better to catch a wrong person than let one go," others might not have taken it seriously.
However, Ning Zhiheng knew in his heart that Huang Xiansheng was definitely a spy, but he couldn't explain the reason to Wang Shucheng.
He sneered, "Why go through all that trouble? Even if the stolen money isn't found, you can still be convicted. Once you're inside our Military Intelligence Bureau, whether you're guilty or not is up to us!"
After listening, Wang Shucheng stared wide-eyed at the person in front of him. Damn it, I'm still green. This guy is a real tough guy!
