Xia Bin himself was captured by the Japanese army and surrendered to them after being subjected to severe torture. Therefore, he is not a tough nut to crack. As long as he is in the interrogation room and the right methods are used, Ning Zhiheng is confident that he can get this traitor to talk within two hours, and then everything will be fine.
The bureau chief then instructed Ning Zhiheng, "Wait for my news. I'm going to talk to Vice Minister Song in person; he's still waiting for my news!"
"Yes!" Ning Zhiheng nodded and accepted the order.
After the matter was discussed, everyone got up and left the Second Operations Division. Ning Zhiheng and Wei Liangbi saw them off at the gate before turning back to their office.
With an excited look on his face, Wei Liangbi lightly punched Ning Zhiheng on the shoulder and chuckled, "Zhiheng, you were too fast! I didn't know anything, and in the blink of an eye, you had already solved the leak case! This first step in the crackdown operation has been a success!"
Ning Zhiheng also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "To be honest, this case is not difficult to solve. The difficulty lies in the complicated relationships involved, and everyone has their concerns. However, now that the two bureau chiefs are willing to step forward and take on the challenge, our work will be much easier."
What are your plans next?
Ning Zhiheng said confidently, "We still need to close the case first and confirm Xia Bin's identity. We'll get the credit for that first. Next, we need to get Ji Yongyan to talk. He must have a higher-ups behind him. If we follow that line, I estimate we'll reap a great harvest."
Wei Liangbi asked in confusion, "He's a carrier pigeon, and the radio station has already been found. How could he still be online?"
The Military Intelligence Bureau had some knowledge of Japanese spy organizations. Generally speaking, the carrier pigeons responsible for receiving and sending documents, communicating and transmitting information were at the top of this intelligence channel and were also the heads of the intelligence channel. They rarely assigned any higher-ups.
Ning Zhiheng smiled and analyzed, "You don't know this, senior brother. I know quite a lot about Ji Yongyan, but I didn't tell you two today. Ji Yongyan's real name is Yoshida Ryusuke, he is thirty-two years old, and he used to be an intelligence agent under the Shanghai Special Higher Police. However, half a year ago, he was taken over by the Wuhan Military Intelligence Department. The Japanese spy organizations operating in the Chongqing area are also under the leadership of this department. They have a huge intelligence network in Chongqing, so Ji Yongyan and Xia Bin's intelligence group is just one line in this huge intelligence network."
Furthermore, in this leak of secrets in northern Jiangxi, the entire plan was detailed and comprehensive, spanning several pages. With so much intelligence, Ji Yongyan couldn't possibly have transmitted it by telegram. So how did he send it out? It must have been filmed and given to his superior, or there must have been a special channel specifically for him to deliver this kind of crucial intelligence that telegrams couldn't transmit. This proves once again that Ji Yongyan is not the end; there are others behind him. Once we uncover this connection, we can quickly access this intelligence network. Moreover, this Japanese intelligence network is newly established, with many personnel and a short history; there must be many loopholes that haven't been perfected yet. This is our opportunity. Therefore, I say that the leak is only the beginning; the real gains are yet to come!
Wei Liangbi was stunned by Ning Zhiheng's words. The amount of information contained in those words was too great. Moreover, he did not expect that the leak case would take a turn for the better and there would be another way out. His junior brother was very thoughtful and had already planned out the next steps.
He sighed, shook his head, and said, "Ji Yongyan hasn't even spoken yet, and you already know his true identity, Zhiheng. Just how many things are you hiding from me!"
Ning Zhiheng laughed heartily, put his arm around Wei Liangbi's shoulder and shook him, saying with a smile, "Senior brother, we're brothers of one mind, how could I hide anything from you? Isn't this just informing you? We can't even tell Deputy Director Huang about these things, it's enough for us to know!"
“I know that!” Wei Liangbi nodded and smiled. The two of them had always been like one, advancing and retreating together. They formed their own faction within the Military Intelligence Bureau, so of course they were inseparable.
