Chapter 777 There are more clues (seeking a monthly ticket)
Ning Zhiheng reached out to greet the guy and asked for a pot of Longjing tea. The tea leaves were brewed. Then he said to Luo Gaoyi: "Mr. Luo, it seems that you have remembered something. Please don't have any worries. I'll listen carefully!"
"Okay, OK." Luo Gaoyi looked at Ning Zhiheng and said nervously, "Mr. Ning, I thought about it for a long time last night and recalled all the things related to Ji Yongyan. I have overlooked one thing here. I wonder if it is useful to you?"
"you say!"
"Ji Yongyan and his landlord Cheng Liugu have ambiguous relationship."
Ning Zhiheng quickly asked, "Is there any relationship between them? Are you sure?"
Luo Gaoyi nodded heavily and confirmed, "At least it is not the relationship between an ordinary landlord and a tenant. No other tenants know about this. Only I know that Cheng Liugu once went to school to find Ji Yongyan. He was dressed very beautifully. I have never seen Cheng Liugu wear a long skirt and looks very outstanding. The two of them were still in the office and talked a long time. Later, when I was having tea and chatting with Ji Yongyan, I joked about it. Ji Yongyan just laughed, didn't admit it, but did not deny it. There must be a relationship between them."
Ning Zhiheng nodded as soon as he heard this. He knew about Cheng Liugu's situation. After all, she was Ji Yongyan's landlord. Chen Yanqing had conducted some investigations on people around Ji Yongyan, including Cheng Liugu.
Cheng Liugu was a widow. The man was originally an officer of the Sichuan Army. Later, he went out to Sichuan to fight against Japan and died in Shanghai. Cheng Liugu guarded several homes to collect rent and live a life. His life was fine. Unexpectedly, he would have a secret ambiguous relationship with Ji Yongyan.
I think so, Ji Yongyan is a single man, a teacher, and is gentle and has no shortage of money. This is really a good partner for a widow like Cheng Liugu, and it is not surprising that the two of them come together.
Ning Zhiheng asked: "After Ji Yongyan's disappearance, has Cheng Liugu changed anything?"
If Cheng Liugu knew about Ji Yongyan's disappearance in advance, then she would not have shown any excessive performance. On the contrary, if she was unaware of it, her lover suddenly left her and ran away without a trace. This is unacceptable to ordinary people in terms of feelings and is likely to have any acts of incompetence.
"There was no change in emotions. I just complained in front of the tenants, saying that it was not easy for her to be a female, and it was not easy for a teacher to escape rent. It made me feel embarrassed. After all, it was the house I introduced to Ji Yongyan at that time. Later, I said I would give her the rent that Ji Yongyan owed, but she said she didn't need it. She was just unintentional and told me not to mind. She spoke very politely, and even if this matter was over!"
It turns out that way! Cheng Liugu just left a formality. It seems that she knew about Ji Yongyan’s departure in advance, so she did not show any extreme attitude, and was even unwilling to ask Luo Gaoyi for compensation. It was obviously just to show everyone.
In other words, Ji Yongyan explained to Cheng Liugu in advance. Since he left with a premeditated plan, the relationship between the two people could not be broken like this, and there must be a secret connection between them.
Ning Zhiheng felt very at ease through this point. As long as he followed the line of Cheng Liugu, he would definitely find Ji Yongyan's hiding place.
However, Ning Zhiheng has no time to track Cheng Liugu. If she has not contacted Ji Yongyan, wouldn’t she have to waste time with her in vain? Now what Ning Zhiheng lacks the most is time.
The leak case is just the beginning of this clearance work. Hundreds of Japanese spies lurk in Chongqing. Ning Zhiheng must carry out a large-scale cleaning of this within three to four months. The subsequent work will be very heavy and he has no time to waste it, so he will inevitably be more ruthless in terms of means and it is also unwilling to care about it.
Without further ado, today we will look for an opportunity to arrest Cheng Liugu, a female person. It is not difficult to pry open her mouth. After that, things will be simple. Grab Ji Yongyan, find evidence, confirm his identity as a Japanese spy, then arrest Song Anxian, and then pry her mouth open, thereby nailing Xia Bin's identity as a traitor. This leak case can be completed and ended successfully.
After Ning Zhiheng made up his mind, he smiled and said to Luo Gaoyi: "Thank you so much. Mr. Luo, you have made great contributions this time, and I will never treat you badly! In this way, everything will be the same as usual after you go back, and leave the rest to me. When Ji Yongyan is caught, I will fulfill my promise and thank you very much!"
"Mr. Ning is so polite. To be honest, I'm not all for money. It's the responsibility of the people to arrest Japanese spies. I really didn't expect that people who have been with me for so long will be Japanese spies. I'm scared when I think about it, hey!"
Ning Zhiheng could see that Ji Yongyan was saying the truth, and he also said slowly: "Yes, the Japanese will never die if they destroy me. It is simply omnipresent. All our people should unite and be united to the outside world. Come on, I will use tea instead of wine, so I will give Mr. Luo first!"
Luo Gaoyi quickly raised his glass to invite him, and the two of them respected each other tea to thank each other!
Ning Zhiheng asked Luo Gaoyi to leave first, and he immediately prepared an arrest plan. He specially transferred the action team leader Nie Tianming over.
Nie Tianming and Zhao Jiang are both his direct descendants of the Second Department of Operations. If there is any benefit, they will naturally have to take care of their subordinates.
Nie Tianming received Ning Zhiheng's order and immediately brought people over as quickly as possible. Ning Zhiheng gave him a detailed explanation of Cheng Liugu's situation, and then carefully reminded: "Tianming, this arrest mission is crucial. The leak case in northern Ganzhou is the primary case at present, and even the commissioner is very concerned. It involves many senior officials of the Military Commission. The case has been delayed and cannot be closed for a long time. Our Military Bureau has been under great pressure. If we can arrest this Japanese spy today, the entire case can be completed smoothly. This credit is very fulfilling. You have been stuck in the rank of captain and cannot be promoted. Isn't it because you have not made any great achievements? This time it is a great opportunity, you must seize it!"
Ning Zhiheng's words immediately made Nie Tianming ecstatic. He was unable to be promoted in military rank for a long time, which has become a heart-wrenching problem for him for many years.
The colleagues who were originally enrolled under Ning Zhiheng's sect also made great progress with Ning Zhiheng's progress and their military ranks have been promoted continuously in recent years. Huo Yueze, who was also the captain's team leader at that time, is now the chief of the lieutenant colonel, and is in charge of the Shanghai Intelligence Department. He has a unique status and is like a prince of the Military Affairs Bureau.
Even Sun Jiacheng, the Zuo brothers, Ji Hongyi and others who were still young lieutenants at that time were promoted to school-level officers early, but they were still standing still and have not been promoted until now.
He did not dare to blame Ning Zhiheng for not giving opportunities. After all, the Military Affairs Bureau is different from the combat troops. The promotion of military rank is extremely strict. Without great contributions, he will not be promoted to a school-level officer. This is an iron rule, and no one dares to do anything recklessly!
Besides, the director did not take any care of himself. He was the senior rank of the military commander of the lieutenant-level officer as the leader of the operation team. In the Military Affairs Bureau, he and Zhao Jiang were naturally Ning Zhiheng's special care. However, if he wanted to go up, the military rank would have to be promoted to a school-level officer.
Now the opportunity has finally come. He must do his best to complete this mission and must not miss the opportunity again.
He replied solemnly: "Don't worry, I will catch people even if I try my best to do my best this time, and I will never be embarrassed!"
Ning Zhiheng laughed, patted his shoulder and said, "Why is this? It's just a Japanese spy, and you still have to fight for your life? Don't worry, I personally command you, just follow the orders!"
Ning Zhiheng quickly arranged a task and arranged surveillance personnel around Cheng Liugu. Her arrest must be carried out in secret. No noise should be revealed. Otherwise, Ji Yongyan would notice it and cause this person to escape without a trace, and all his efforts would be wasted.
Next is to wait for the opportunity. As long as Cheng Liugu is given a suffrage, Ning Zhiheng can attack her.
Cheng Liugu's residence is not in the courtyard rented by Ji Yongyan. She has a wealthy family and there are several properties nearby. She now lives in a house next to the courtyard, and there are two servants in her family.
But this is the center of Yuzhong District, with dense populations and many people coming and going on the streets. In this broad daylight, it is inevitable that others will be alarmed as long as they do something. Moreover, Li Liugu did not go out on this day, so Ning Zhiheng did not find any good time to arrest him.
However, Ning Zhiheng was not in a hurry. He was very patient. Seeing the night falling, the sky was getting dark. Ning Zhiheng looked at the time. To be on the safe side, he decided to wait until it was late at night before taking the arrest.
Nie Tianming and his men who were waiting quietly nearby were also disguised and lurking around, waiting for Ning Zhiheng's orders.
It was eight o'clock in the evening, and suddenly the gate of Cheng Liugu's house opened quietly, and a figure flashed out, which immediately alarmed Ning Zhiheng who was surveillance in the distance.
"Saturday, someone has come out!"
"I understand, everyone pay attention!"
Ning Zhiheng has excellent eyesight. With the street lights on the street, he quickly saw that this was a slim figure of a woman.
Cheng Liugu had only two servants in his family, and it was an old couple. Ning Zhiheng looked at this slim figure, so it was Cheng Liugu himself.
He couldn't help but feel moved. Chongqing is not Shanghai. Apart from those entertainment venues, there is basically no nightlife. It is not safe for a woman to go out late at night. But Cheng Liugu still has to go out at such a late time or be alone. Where are you going?
Could it be to see Ji Yongyan? If so, it would be great. It just saved the time to arrest and interrogate Cheng Liugu. Just follow her directly to find Ji Yongyan, saving time and effort.
