Chapter 313 Pick it out (seeking a monthly ticket)
The meeting went on as usual, until the meeting ended, and everyone stood up. Zheng Hongbo whispered to Bian Ze: "Section Chief, the journey is exhausted. We have prepared a welcome banquet and ask the section chief to enjoy the scenery."
Although the two have a deep friendship, he always calls Bianze the section chief in front of others. Only when they are alone do they call Bianze the brother Xiangnan to show that they are close to each other.
Bian Ze frowned. He was taciturn and unhappy with these official polite rituals. So he waved his hand and replied softly: "I am really tired, so let's forget about the reception banquet!"
Zheng Hongbo also knew Bian Ze's temper and nature, so he stepped forward and whispered: "Brother Xiangnan, this time everyone was frightened by this incident. These people are your old subordinates, so they should be comforted a little. If you don't attend this banquet, they will inevitably think more."
After hearing Zheng Hongbo's words, Bian Ze felt helpless. It was a routine for the superiors to inspect and the subordinates to welcome him, especially the old superiors, who were even more deliberate.
If Bianze insisted on not going, it would indeed make these old subordinates uneasy. Thinking of this, Bianze nodded reluctantly.
Zheng Hongbo was overjoyed when he saw Bian Ze agreeing and quickly gave a wink to Liu Pengsheng, the chief of General Affairs Section. Liu Pengsheng immediately came to Bian Ze and whispered: "It's the Fengxi Restaurant you used to visit. The private room has been booked, so you can go there now."
Bianze nodded and then left the conference room first. When the others saw the commander go out, they dared to follow closely.
Ning Zhiheng and six others also followed Bianze and got into two cars and followed Bianze's car.
After getting in the car, Ning Zhiheng quickly opened the file bag and took out the five pieces of materials. The first step was to check the photos of the five people.
But to his surprise, the five people, including Yu Li, were not the man in the portrait. Ning Zhiheng looked at the materials in his hand and thought, it seemed that his previous conjecture had come true, and there was really another traitor in the Shanghai Military Intelligence Station.
This time at the Shanghai Military Intelligence Station high-level meeting, the man in the portrait was not found. It seems that the man's status is even lower.
Ning Zhiheng thought that when he waited to contact people with lower status, if he could not find him, he could only ask Bianze for help investigating the archives of the Shanghai station, and he must dig out the traitor.
Thinking of this, he carefully checked Yu Li's materials. His background and resume were clear. He was also the first member of the Military Intelligence Investigation Office. He was the old foundation of the Lixing Society and one of the backbone members, otherwise he would not have climbed to the high position today.
Such a person will surrender to the enemy? Unless he is like Huang Xiansheng and Yan Yichun, he is simply a Japanese spy who sneaked into China many years ago. However, China is so large and has a population of 40 million. It would be a lucky one to sneak into the Military Intelligence Investigation Office. How could it be so coincidental that another senior management is involved? This is unscientific!
At this time, it was not the disastrous defeat in the early stage of the war after the outbreak of the full-scale war. Many people could not see hope, or became traitors in order to survive. Yu was in a high position, not lacking power, and not lacking money, why did he surrender to the enemy?
There can only be one explanation. Yu Li was arrested before, but then he could not withstand the torture and eventually surrendered to the enemy!
However, it is not easy to trap such an experienced old agent. It seems that the Japanese have been planning for a long time.
Just as Ning Zhiheng was looking through the materials, the vehicle arrived at the gate of Fengxi Restaurant and stopped. Everyone surrounded Bian Ze and entered the restaurant.
Zheng Hongbo found an opportunity and secretly called his confidant and intelligence director Hou Weizhao to his side.
"Webmaster, what are your instructions?" Hou Weizhao asked in a low voice.
Zheng Hongbo whispered: "Weizhao, during the banquet, we will have more contact with the youngest young man behind the section chief. We should be more attentive and have a good relationship and see what other party likes. This time we are afraid that it will not be so easy to pass, and the attendant is afraid that we don't believe us!"
Hou Weizhao was startled by the webmaster's words and asked softly: "Does the Seating still hold the responsibility for this matter? Haven't you already issued a warning?"
Zheng Hongbo shook his head and sighed softly: "I guess he is suspected that there are Japanese spies in our Shanghai Military Intelligence Station, and he is guarding against us."
Speaking of this, he looked around and saw that there was no one around and said again: "This time, the anti-traitors sent by the headquarters have already entered Shanghai and have not met us at all.
You see that young man is definitely not a simple person. I think he is young, but he steadily suppresses Major Li Xin. He should be at least a major. Now at the Nanjing headquarters, who would such a young major be?"
Li Xin was the confidant who had been with Bian Ze for many years. He was also at the Shanghai Station two years ago. Everyone knew him and knew that his military rank was major.
Although Zheng Hongbo is in Shanghai, he is not obscured by the news about the Nanjing headquarters. On the contrary, he often understands the trends of the Nanjing headquarters through channels. This is also the basic quality of a veteran in the officialdom. Especially in the past six months, the situation in Nanjing has undergone such a big change, so he naturally needs to pay more attention. It is easier and more direct to understand these inside stories at his level.
"Who will it be?" Hou Weizhao continued to ask, and the webmaster's words made him, the agent who was engaged in intelligence, immediately alerted.
"Eight out of ten are Ning Zhiheng, the leader of the operation team who rose from the Operations Department. It is said that this person has just walked out of the school gate and is extremely young, but he is one of the best tactical experts. This time he probably came to carry out the task of banishing traitors, but the section chief still kept it from us. It seems that the headquarters is very dissatisfied with us, for fear of another Yu Li!" Zheng Hongbo analyzed carefully. I have to say that his eyesight is really sharp. Bian Ze didn't know that just one of his actions exposed Ning Zhiheng. None of these old agents was a fuel-efficient lamp!
"I understand. I will definitely have a good relationship with him and try to satisfy him!" Hou Weizhao felt nervous when he heard Zheng Hongbo's words. These people from the headquarters were people who could not afford to offend, especially in this special period, he could not make any mistakes.
During the banquet, Bian Ze gently comforted these old subordinates. The six officers behind him naturally had a dedicated person to accompany him. Hou Weizhao, the director of the Intelligence Department of Lieutenant Colonel, came here to accompany everyone in person.
Everyone got along well. After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Hou Weizhao asked Ning Zhiheng to invite him to drink and invite him. His attitude was very kind. Under his deliberate flattery, everyone had a happy conversation.
After he got up and left, Ning Zhiheng knew that his behavior had revealed his whereabouts. As a lieutenant colonel intelligence director, he came to make friends with him, and he did it too obvious!
Since I can't hide it, I'd just contact me directly, so I can't guess it. Anyway, I won't show up after finding the traitor, and there will be no major obstacles.
After the reception banquet, Ning Zhiheng went up directly and whispered to Bian Ze. Bian Ze was also stunned and said with a sneer: "These people have a lot of cleverness, but unfortunately they are all used on their own people. Well, let's make it clear, so that they won't be suspicious, and they are all soldiers!"
He did think of secretly checking these old subordinates one by one, but now he probably knows what he means, so he will no longer hide it.
When he returned to the Shanghai station, he called Zheng Hongbo to his office. This was the office he had been using when he was working in Shanghai. When he heard that he was coming to Shanghai, Zheng Hongbo quickly arranged for someone to free up the room and carefully arranged it as an office place for Bian Ze during his stay in Shanghai.
Bian Ze arranged an internal screening action directly to Zheng Hongbo. This action made Zheng Hongbo feel relieved, which shows that Bian Ze believed in him.
At the same time, he introduced Ning Zhiheng in person. When Zheng Hongbo heard this, he was indeed as he judged. This young man was indeed Ning Zhiheng of the Operations Department.
Ning Zhiheng and Zheng Hongbo shook hands with each other and said with a smile: "Webmaster Zheng is indeed extremely sensible, and he can't escape your eyes even if he is a little careless. I admire you!"
"There is Zhiheng, you have outstanding temperament and will be unforgettable everywhere you go!" Zheng Hongbo also called his name affectionately and said with a smile.
When Ning Zhiheng heard this, he felt that he was mocking himself. If he was an ordinary person, if you praise him for his outstanding temperament and unforgettable at first sight, it would definitely be a good thing.
But you told an agent that his temperament is outstanding and people recognize him as soon as they meet. Isn’t it just that your ability is not good?
In fact, this is also related to the nature of Ning Zhiheng's work. Ning Zhiheng has always been catching Japanese spies, that is, as a hunter, to catch prey, which means that his identity is an official and his opponent is a thief.
Therefore, Ning Zhiheng has no need to disguise himself. It is his prey pretending to try to avoid his eyes. He is only good at seeing through the disguise, but he rarely deliberately disguises himself.
In addition, his strong personality and strong desire to control himself, he naturally gives people the impression that he is tough and forced, and his temperament is more outstanding. These will be revealed inadvertently. In addition, the pig teammates around him help, and Zheng Hongbo knows the people around Bianze very well, so he can see it out, so he immediately made Zheng Hongbo, the old agent.
This incident made Ning Zhiheng deeply understand this weakness. It seems that as an excellent agent, he is obviously unqualified.
In the future, I have to work hard on disguise. This time I recognize that I am Zheng Hongbo, which is okay. If I am a Japanese next time, it would be an irreversible mistake.
