Chapter 1171 Important People
The two of them had decided to discuss it, so they limped to find a familiar slaughter restaurant. They took some medicines from internal and external applications and felt better, so they prepared to go home to rest.
The two of them acted together in the past few days, and Feizai did not go home. They both settled in Aren's residence, so Lan Guidong couldn't find Feizai in his residence. He thought he had run away, so he searched everywhere, but ended up being beaten up.
Aren's residence was a bit off. The two of them walked for a long time and were about to reach the doorstep. Suddenly, an aunt poked her head out of a shop on the side of the road and called out Aren.
When Aren saw that it was one of his old neighbors. She lowered her voice and said hurriedly: "Aren, a few misunderstandings brought the ghost guy to inquire about your residence just now. Now I'm looking for it. I don't look good, so you have to be careful!"
When Aren heard this, he was shocked. He quickly thanked him and said, "Aunt Gui, thank you, I will be careful."
After saying that, he pulled Feizai and the two of them quickly turned around and left, trotted all the way, and then they found a corner and stopped.
Aren's breathing was a little rapid, obviously in shock, and asked Feizai: "These British people found me so quickly. Will the incident happen? What should I do?"
Feizai's eyes rolled and said, "It's nothing. The British have been investigating for a few days. Sooner or later, they will find us here. Now I don't know what they found?"
Aren looked worried, shook his head, and said, "I'm afraid they really found me. No matter what, we must do it as soon as possible. We really can't wait any longer."
Feizai was forced by Rotten Guidong before, but now he was also brought to him. Aren's sense of urgency is getting stronger and stronger. In short, he must not contact the police and the British now. If the other party came to arrest people, he would not even have a chance to turn things around.
In the guard cell of the garrison headquarters, Scott was commanding personnel to put several suspicious people brought back by his subordinates into a lockdown room and prepare to start interrogation.
At this time, Shandora also came with several of her group members.
"Tony, have you brought everyone back?" Shandora asked.
Scott replied: "Two more people were not found."
"Which two people?"
"Lu Zhanfei and Zhong Ren."
Previously, they turned their targets to the crew of the Notting. These agents were professional intelligence personnel, and their observation and judgment were far from comparable to those policemen. After the investigations over the past few days, they quickly narrowed the targets to several suspicious people, all of whom were local crew members in Hong Kong.
Originally, they had some concerns about the French shipping company and were unwilling to arrest and interrogate directly, but time was getting tighter, and Shandora didn't care much. Besides, as long as they did not arrest French citizens and only arrest Asian employees, the impact was not great. So they finally decided to arrest all the suspicious people and conduct interrogation directly. The person entering Yanagawa's room must be found as soon as possible.
Scott was the specific executor. His subordinates went out everywhere to bring all the suspicious people back, but unexpectedly, by chance, two people were leaked.
Scott continued to report: "Our people have asked, Lu Zhanfei hasn't been home for several days, Zhong Ren has basically not shown up, and there is no one at home."
"Did you run away?" Shandora frowned when she heard this. What she feared the most was that the drawings were no longer in Hong Kong, and people like her were doing useless work here.
She continued, "Have you searched the residences of these suspicious people?"
"They conducted a careful search, but no drawings were found." Scott said.
He knew Shandora's concerns and comforted him again: "Actually, there is no need to worry too much. These crew members have conducted strict searches when they got off the ship. If they really stole the drawings, they shouldn't have taken them off the ship yet, and we still have a chance."
Shandora was slightly relaxed and nodded and said, "I'll interrogate the people here. You can continue to investigate and catch those two people back. No suspicious person can be missed."
Scott nodded in agreement after hearing this, turned around and left.
After leaving the library, Ning Zhiheng did not return to the villa. Instead, he traveled around the University of Hong Kong for a long time, inquired everywhere, and took a lot of effort, and finally chose a suitable rental house.
This rental house is a very high-end suite with two floors, a large area of housing, and all the furniture inside should be complete. The most important thing is that there is a telephone installed in this house, which is what Ning Zhiheng values the most.
The residence is high-end and the rent is very expensive, but Ning Zhiheng did not bargain at all, so he rented it out at twice the price.
Seeing the landlord grab the money and turn around and leave, she was afraid that he, Kaizi, would regret it, Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but feel a little funny.
This residence is just his temporary contact point. It was judged before that the British were most likely to find the drawings. Once they succeeded, the mole would secretly copy the drawings and film again, and it is also very likely that they would come to Liao Chengren again. After all, this kind of equipment is indeed very rare in Hong Kong.
However, the specific time cannot be determined. Maybe it is tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or even ten days, one month, or the mole will never appear again, so Ning Zhiheng can only set up a contact point nearby and wait for Liao Chengren's phone call notification at any time. Once the mole appears, he will be dispatched in time to capture the drawings and film.
Ning Zhiheng had arranged everything and picked up the phone and prepared to call out, but after picking up the phone, he thought about it and put it back.
To be on the safe side, this phone cannot be used for any purpose except for receiving Liao Chengren's phone calls, because the phone's call records cannot be erased. Once there is a mistake, it will be easily traced to the source.
He turned around and went out, walked out for a distance, found a public phone number, talked to Shen Xiang and Ji Hongyi, informed him of the rental address, and then returned to the rental house. From now on, he had to guard the phone number himself and could not leave for a moment until the whereabouts of the drawings were confirmed.
At around 8 o'clock in the evening, all the cadres under him rushed to this place to rent a house. They had to report to Ning Zhiheng every day on the tracking and surveillance situation.
Everyone was a little surprised about why the Casualty chose a new residence. Only Shen Xiang, who was careful, still guessed some clues, but he naturally would not talk too much.
Ji Hongyi first reported: "Chu, today we have gained a lot of gains in surveillance of Yue Mansion, and we have discovered new goals."
"New goal?" Ning Zhiheng was excited when he heard this.
Ji Hongyi took out a file bag and handed it to Ning Zhiheng, and continued to report: "At 3:00 this afternoon, the six people who appeared last time appeared again. They still traveled in two cars. Just like last time, they did several anti-tracking actions. However, this time we were well prepared and arranged enough surveillance personnel nearby, and finally tracked their whereabouts. This is a photo we took in secret."
Ning Zhiheng opened the file bag, poured out a stack of photos from it, and carefully looked at it. He saw that there were photos of some people getting on and off the bus. Due to the distance and angle, the images on some photos were not very clear. Obviously, when taking pictures, the personnel on our side were very cautious. After all, the person under surveillance was also experienced agents.
However, he soon recognized the leader, who was actually Jiang Tianhe, one of the senior executives of the Military Intelligence Bureau and deputy director of the Second Intelligence Department.
"Is it him? This person actually came to Hong Kong?" Ning Zhiheng said in surprise.
"Have you met him?" Ji Hongyi asked quickly, "According to your instructions, these photos have been identified by the brothers who once worked at the Nanjing headquarters, but they have not recognized them, so we cannot confirm their identities yet."
"It's not your fault!" Ning Zhiheng waved his hand, and he selected Jiang Tianhe's photos, "This is Jiang Tianhe, deputy director of the Intelligence Department of our Military Affairs Bureau. This person was originally the stationmaster of Xi'an Station. Later, after the incident, he made contributions to rescue the leader, and then he got the eyes of the bureau and promoted him all the way. After the establishment of the Military Affairs Bureau, he entered the center and became the deputy director of the Intelligence Department of the Second.
When you left the headquarters, he hadn't come back yet, so it's not surprising that he didn't know each other. I looked at the people around him and had no impression. He should be the confidants he brought back from Xi'an."
Ning Zhiheng spent a long time in the Military Control Bureau center, especially when he challenged experts in various departments of the Military Control Bureau, he had contacted many people. In addition, he could not forget his skills. In fact, he knew a lot of people from the Military Control Bureau headquarters.
Shen Xiang said from the side: "The bureau chief actually sent him all, and he really attaches great importance to the matter of the drawings!"
Ning Zhiheng nodded. He was about to say something, but suddenly his eyes narrowed, his face became solemn. He held a photo in his hand and asked Ji Hongyi: "Where was this photo taken?"
Ji Hongyi looked at Ning Zhiheng's serious face, quickly stepped forward, took the photo and replied: "This is a street near Central. We followed Jiang Tianhe here. After they got off the car, they entered a business at the end of the street called Wanzhou Commercial Bank. Shortly after Jiang Tianhe entered, another group of people entered Wanzhou Commercial Bank. Until six o'clock in the evening, the two groups left separately because it was already a little dark when they left, so we only took photos of these people when they entered in the afternoon."
After hearing this, Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but remain silent for a while. In the photo, he not only knew a middle-aged man in a suit, but also had a very special identity. This person was Major General Takao Harada from the General Staff of the Japanese Expeditionary Army.
This is an extremely important figure in the Japanese invading China army and is also the right-hand assistant of the Chief of Staff Jiro Itagaki. He has always been known as a wise man and is responsible for the daily affairs of the General Staff Headquarters.
