Ning Zhiheng took the list back to his office. He hadn't rested all night, so he lay down in his office fully clothed and rested for two hours until the phone on his desk rang.
He quickly got up and picked up the phone; it was Zhao Ziliang's voice.
"Zhiheng, how's the account verification going?"
"Section Chief, don't worry, everything is going smoothly. We've found four suspicious accounts, and I'll report to you now!"
"Okay, I'll wait for you!"
Ning Zhiheng put down the phone, washed his face with water, and then went out and quickly went to Zhao Ziliang's office!
Seeing Ning Zhiheng knock on the door and come in, Zhao Ziliang quickly asked, "How did things go last night?"
Ning Zhiheng handed the list of accounts to Zhao Ziliang and said, "The harvest is not bad. In addition to the two accounts of Su Yu and Mo Pingsheng, we found four new accounts. Here is the list!"
He then gave Zhao Ziliang a detailed account of yesterday's events, concluding, "Tong Huahan was very cooperative this time. Without his help, this operation would have been difficult to complete! I suggest we withdraw the surveillance on him. Now, the only remaining suspects are General Manager Xie Haochu and Bank Assistant Manager Geng Boming. Could we have the Intelligence Department continue investigating these two?"
Although Ning Zhiheng was the executor of the case, the case was led by the Action Section, so he tried his best to report to and ask for instructions from Section Chief Zhao Ziliang at every step in order to obtain his approval. This is also what a subordinate who knows how to advance and retreat and knows his limits should do.
If he were to act too presumptuously and make a direct request to Gu Zhengqi of the Intelligence Section, there would certainly be no problem with the procedure, but Zhao Ziliang, as his superior, would inevitably feel displeased.
Therefore, Ning Zhiheng has always been highly regarded by Zhao Ziliang because he always knows how to respect his superiors and never acts on his own initiative.
Upon hearing Ning Zhiheng's suggestion, Zhao Ziliang pondered for a moment before speaking, "It was originally your insistence that Tong Huahan be monitored. Zhiheng, your caution is most admirable. I have never seen someone your age act so prudently. Now that Tong Huahan has been completely cleared of suspicion, the monitoring should of course be lifted."
As for handing over the investigation of Xie Haochu and Geng Boming to the intelligence department, I have no objection. In fact, Zhiheng, you don't need to care too much about my opinion.
To be honest, I know in my heart that although I don't get along with Gu Zhengqi, I have to admit that he is very capable. Over the years, he has made the intelligence department more and more powerful, and now he has extended his reach to various government departments. We are far behind in terms of resources and foundation.
It is precisely because of this that I feel increasingly urgent; the Action Section cannot be reduced to a subordinate role under my leadership.
Fortunately, with your arrival this year, our Action Section has made great progress and its strength has been greatly enhanced. Now, you are no longer seen as an assistant or a supporting role in the Director's eyes!
However, this investigation into Tong Huahan's case shows that we are still quite far behind the Intelligence Section. I admit we can't achieve their level in such a short time. This case can allow them to be more deeply involved. I will personally raise this matter with Gu Zhengqi and ask them to investigate and get results as soon as possible. I will inform you immediately. Focus your efforts on investigating these suspicious accounts and find a breakthrough in that area!
Hearing Zhao Ziliang's heartfelt words, Ning Zhiheng was also moved. Zhao Ziliang was originally a proud and arrogant person, but he had been suppressed for many years due to circumstances. Now that he was able to put aside his prejudices, he could be considered a magnanimous person.
Ning Zhiheng then turned the topic back to the accounts, nodding and saying, "I have been doing some preparatory work for the investigation of these suspicious accounts these days. As the chief accountant, Tong Huahan usually only comes into contact with the accounts when he is doing accounting, and that is only after his accountants have already finished compiling them."
He is not involved in the bank's daily management, so he cannot keep track of the changes in funds in these accounts in a timely manner, and he cannot help with this.
My theory is this: the problem at Yong'an Bank lies with its upper management; the lower-level employees should be fine. My approach is to focus on the bank's lobby tellers.
They are the people with the most direct access to these accounts. If we can get them on our side of the law and make them aware of these accounts, they will know immediately if anyone withdraws money from them. Then they can notify us to conduct surveillance and find the real Japanese spies.
Zhao Ziliang considered it for a moment, nodded in agreement, and said, "The method is feasible, but there is a matter of confidentiality involved. You need to think it through!"
Ning Zhiheng said, "I have sent people to investigate carefully in the past two days. Yong'an Bank is not a large bank. There are four tellers in its lobby who handle deposit and withdrawal services. They are all long-term employees. All four of them have families and businesses, and their backgrounds are clean and verifiable. This is their investigation report!"
After saying that, he placed a document on Zhao Ziliang's desk and said, "I want to work on them one by one, threatening their families and offering high rewards as bait. I believe they will work for us and won't dare to go out and talk about it or leak the information!"
Zhao Ziliang took the materials, glanced at them, and said with a smile, "Since you've already made arrangements and are confident, then go ahead and do it. I'll be waiting for your good news!"
That noon, Xu Xin, who had just finished get off work at the bank, was hurrying home.
His home bank is quite a distance away, and it takes him twenty minutes to get home every day. He walks every day because he can't bear to take a rickshaw, since that would be an expense!
