He Siming was not one to suffer in silence. Gan Tai sought out his backer, Kitaoka Ryoko, to pressure He Siming, and He Siming naturally sought out Sagawa Taro to pressure Kitaoka Ryoko in return. It should be noted that when Otani Hitoshi was about to return to Japan, he specifically instructed Sagawa Taro to take good care of He Siming. With such a powerful backer, they couldn't just leave the resources unused.
Ning Zhiheng smiled and shook his head. He Siming was a man with his own ideas and methods. He had vividly portrayed a useless agent who had no ability but relied on nepotism and was unwilling to suffer any loss.
"Just be careful not to cause any real trouble!" Ning Zhiheng said.
He Siming said with a smile, "I know, I just don't want Kitaoka Ryoko to follow me too closely. It's enough to make her have some reservations. Otherwise, if I get entangled with her, I'm not confident that I won't give myself away."
There's something else. My old nemesis, that agent named Iwai no Naosuke, was previously assigned to the action team as a captain by Sagawa Taro. For some reason, he caught the eye of Kitaoka Ryoko and was transferred to her intelligence team two. Lately, he's seemed to have vanished; I haven't seen him since. I'm worried he might cause us trouble.”
Ning Zhiheng's eyes narrowed, and he asked, "Is it the Japanese agent who arrested Cui Guangqi?"
Ning Zhiheng had a deep impression of this person. It could be said that Zheng Hongbo's intelligence station was destroyed by this person. However, he later made a mess of things and did not gain the appreciation of Sagawa Taro and Imai Yuji. Instead, he helped He Siming succeed.
“It’s him!” He Siming nodded in confirmation. “This man is very shrewd, has amazing observation skills, and is a formidable opponent.”
Ning Zhiheng nodded. He never underestimated any opponent, and he had to be vigilant against Iwai Nosuke. He instructed, "On Monday, when you go to the South Room Library, describe the appearances of Kitaoka Ryoko and Iwai Nosuke to me. I will draw their portraits. We must find this person's whereabouts, just in case!"
He Siming suddenly remembered something and quickly asked, "Okay, by the way, speaking of the portraits, I wanted to ask, when you returned to Wuhan this time, did you investigate the seven Japanese spies we sketched earlier?"
Ning Zhiheng said with a smile, "I have found out Miyahara Ryohei's whereabouts, but don't worry, I haven't taken any action against him, so you won't be in danger of being exposed."
He Siming shook his head and said, "That's not what I meant. What I meant was that these spies have already started working!"
"What's going on?" Ning Zhiheng asked quickly.
“More than a month ago, when my teacher Akita Akihito was chatting with me, he said that the seeds we had planted earlier had begun to sprout and the first piece of information had been sent back. For this, the section chief Sagawa Taro praised my teacher a few times, saying that the information sent back was very important, but he didn’t say anything more after that, and I didn’t dare to ask any more questions.”
Ning Zhiheng pondered silently. It had been almost a year since the Japanese agents had gone undercover. It seemed that Sagawa Taro thought these informants were safe and had begun to awaken them and carry out intelligence activities. That was good. The investigation into Japanese spies had already begun. As long as they dared to contact the intelligence agents, they would inevitably slip up, which would greatly increase the chances of being exposed.
“You did the right thing. Don’t try to find out information on purpose. Just tell me what you know, and I will make my own judgment based on that information,” Ning Zhiheng reminded him again.
"Don't worry, everyone in the Special Higher Police Department knows I'm a notorious slacker, a freeloader, and someone who doesn't do any real work. You can't suspect anyone but me," He Siming chuckled.
Ning Zhiheng smiled slightly. He had to admit that He Siming's self-image was very accurate, which suited his mind perfectly.
