Upon hearing Zhao Ziliang's question, Ning Zhiheng thought for a moment and said slowly, "Geng Boming has no other contacts in Nanjing. He is an independent intelligence agent. Capturing him will not yield much, which was within our expectations."
As for the phone call that notified Geng Boming to evacuate, it was probably made from a public phone. Although the chances of tracing it are slim, we still have to give it a try.
However, our real target is Gu Wenshi, so the city-wide manhunt must continue. We must keep Geng Boming's capture a secret from the outside world, and continue to use the pretext of arresting Geng Boming to find Gu Wenshi.
Zhao Ziliang and Yu Cheng both nodded in agreement. Arresting Geng Boming was just a pretext; he really had no value now.
"Zhiheng, do you think it's still necessary to investigate Geng Boming further?" Yu Cheng asked from the side. He urgently needed to find a breakthrough in the case, and he was still unwilling to give up on Geng Boming's interrogation like this!
Ning Zhiheng smiled and said, "Old Yu, how about we hand over this Geng Boming case to your intelligence department? I have no objection!"
Yu Cheng didn't respond. His task was to keep a close eye on Ning Zhiheng, and Geng Boming was obviously worthless, so he couldn't be bothered with him.
He chuckled and shook his head, saying, "I still need to consult with the section chief about Geng Boming's matter. I'll have to take my leave now!"
After saying this, he nodded respectfully to Zhao Ziliang, then quickly left to report the latest situation to Gu Zhengqi.
Watching his retreating figure, Zhao Ziliang chuckled and said, "This kid is just like Gu Zhengqi. He won't do anything without a benefit. He's very cunning. You'd better keep an eye on him in the future!"
Ning Zhiheng nodded and said, "Don't worry, Section Chief. The people in the Intelligence Section are not easy to deal with. I've been keeping a close eye on them!"
Zhao Ziliang knew that Ning Zhi was meticulous and had a clear vision. It was good enough that he didn't scheme against others, let alone let others scheme against him easily. There was really no need for Zhao Ziliang to remind him of this.
"Are you really planning to give up on the Geng Boming line?" Zhao Ziliang asked.
"Of course not, quite the opposite. I think we should investigate the phone call that notified him to evacuate!" Ning Zhiheng had a different story this time. Clearly, he hadn't told the truth in front of Yu Cheng. He always kept something in reserve, especially when dealing with the cunning Yu Cheng!
Zhao Ziliang also felt that letting Geng Boming go so easily was not like Ning Zhiheng's style, so he asked another question. Sure enough, Ning Zhiheng had other plans in mind.
"How do you plan to investigate?" Zhao Ziliang asked.
Ning Zhiheng said, "Our previous investigation into the Japanese spies hiding in Yong'an Bank mainly focused on General Manager Xie Haochu and Assistant Manager Geng Boming. We monitored them and recorded and listened to their office and home phone calls."
Based on this information, I located the source of the phone call that notified Geng Boming of the emergency evacuation. I suspect it was a public phone, but I'm still confident in finding my target. I think I should have some results. We'll see what happens next. As for continuing the search for Gu Wenshi, I'll leave that to my senior brother. I'll brief him on the situation later!
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said, "You can decide for yourself. I trust you and am just waiting for your good news!"
"Thank you for your trust, Section Chief!"
Ning Zhiheng rushed back to his office and called Wei Liangbi, who was in the city overseeing the search operation.
He told him that Geng Boming had just been captured and interrogated, and asked him to continue to lead the search for Gu Wenshi, while he himself would begin a new investigation into the mysterious phone call.
The two briefly handed over their work. Ning Zhiheng then called the telecommunications department, and Bian Deshou, the team leader in charge of monitoring Yong'an Bank, quickly arrived.
"Team Leader Bian, why have you come in person? Please come in!" Ning Zhiheng stood up and said when he saw that it was Bian Deshou.
Ning Zhiheng only wanted Geng Boming's wiretap recordings from three days ago, but he didn't expect that Major Bian Deshou, the team leader of the Telecommunications Department, would personally deliver the recordings to him.
"Since Team Leader Ning has inquired, I naturally have to come and make the trip!" Bian Deshou laughed heartily and exchanged pleasantries warmly.
Despite both being majors and team leaders, their positions were vastly different.
Although Bian Deshou was a major and the group leader, the Telecommunications Section was only an auxiliary unit within the Military Intelligence Investigation Department. It had few subordinates, and they were mostly technicians who managed some telecommunications equipment.
Moreover, they were relatively isolated, had no contact with the outside world, had no field missions, and of course, no extra income. They were just ordinary officers who lived off their salaries. To put it bluntly, Bian Deshou was just a technical officer with a military rank, without any real power.
But Ning Zhiheng is different. The Action Section used to be second only to the Intelligence Section in the Military Intelligence Investigation Department, but now its status has risen rapidly and is now on par with the Intelligence Section.
Ning Zhiheng, the major and team leader, had all the manpower, money, and power he needed. He controlled an elite force of over a hundred men, primarily focused on field operations. He possessed the immense privilege of arresting and interrogating officers below the rank of general, and even carried out assassinations or assassinations against certain hostile targets. It could be said that he held the power of life and death. The formidable reputation of the Military Intelligence Investigation Department was almost entirely built by these ruthless killers in the Action Section.
Ning Zhiheng, now the top executive of the Operations Section, can mobilize resources from various departments such as the Telecommunications Section, Equipment Section, and Training Section at any time. He is a powerful and influential figure in the Military Intelligence Investigation Department, far superior to a marginal figure like Bian Deshou.
