Chapter 548: Take Back the Shadow
Everything was arranged, Ning Zhiheng handed over the work he had with Wei Liangbi and was ready to leave at any time.
In Ning Zhiheng's office, Ning Zhiheng was giving Sun Jiacheng face-to-face advice.
"You must be optimistic about Tan Jinhui, give him the advantages and disadvantages, strictly enforce discipline, and especially be careful not to allow him to abuse his power in my name and cause trouble."
Tan Jinhui is his substitute, but he is also an ordinary person, and he also has seven emotions and six desires, joy, anger, love and hate. Once he holds authority, he will inevitably be lost. This requires keeping Sun Jiacheng by his side and monitoring and restraining him at all times.
Sun Family Secretary received the order and replied: "Please rest assured. I will definitely keep an eye on him. There will be no problem. I just can't follow you back to Shanghai!"
Sun Jiacheng was quite reluctant to leave his words, and Ning Zhiheng was also a little regretful. Since joining the Military Intelligence Investigation Office, Sun Jiacheng has been following him, whether in Nanjing, in Hangzhou and Shanghai to carry out missions, and finally heading to the Pudong battlefield. It can be said that he has never left. He is his most capable assistant and his most trusted confidant.
"Yes, Lao Sun, you are the person I trust the most. There are many things I don't want to worry about doing, except you. I have to arrange this. I will come back to report my work in a while, and we will meet."
"By the way, how to arrange Miao Yongyi's affairs? This time you didn't bring him back to Shanghai, but he was too familiar with you. Tan Jinhui could not hide it from him at all. The identity of this person is unknown. What if he asks to see you, what should I do?" Sun Jiacheng continued to ask. He was the only person who knew that Miao Yongyi's identity had problems.
Ning Zhiheng said flatly: "He is absolutely not allowed to see Tan Jinhui, but don't worry, I have arranged another task for him to investigate a Japanese spy case. He is currently stranded in Wuhan. I have ordered him to be appointed as the captain of the Wuhan Station Operations Team and will not easily let him return to the headquarters. Also, I would like to emphasize again that his identity is top secret, so no one can know it. Do you understand!"
When Sun Jiacheng heard Ning Zhiheng's final tone, he naturally knew that it was powerful and quickly replied: "Yes, I understand!"
Miao Yongyi has been stranded in Wuhan for the past month. He sent a telegram from the Wuhan station to explain that the reason was that the target Miyahara Ryohei was still in Wuhan. He originally thought he was going to evacuate to Chongqing, but for some reason, Miyahara Ryohei, who had already prepared his luggage, suddenly stayed peacefully again. Miao Yongyi and his team members could only stick to Wuhan.
At the same time, Wuhan is about to fall, and Wuhan Station is forced to lurk from open to dark, and all the former senior management of Wuhan Station have been transferred. The bureau sent senior agent Jie Wang to serve as the stationmaster of the Wuhan Station and presided over the next lurking work behind enemy lines. This person was originally the head of the training department during the MIIS period. I don’t know why the bureau chief was arranged to do lurking work in Wuhan.
Cao Pengcheng, the former stationmaster of Wuhan Station, was transferred to Changsha Stationmaster. Wang Hanmin, deputy stationmaster, has been vacant since he was transferred to Shanghai Stationmaster.
It can be said that the mobilization of Wuhan Station has changed a lot, so Ning Zhiheng simply inserted Miao Yongyi and his team members into it. Through Huang Xianzheng, he appointed Miao Yongyi as the captain of the Wuhan Station Operations Team, so that Miao Yongyi could be kept in Wuhan, and at the same time, he would not fight alone and fall into a dangerous situation.
At twelve o'clock that night, Ning Zhiheng appeared near the Qingshi Tea House. He hid in the darkness and carefully observed the surrounding situation and confirmed that there was no one around. Then he walked around to the back door of the Qingshi Tea House. Sure enough, there was a back door here. The layout of the entire tea house tried his best to retain the layout of Nanjing. The farmer took great pains to this point.
Ning Zhiheng let out a light breath, came to the back door gently, and started to knock on the door rhythmically.
Xia Deyan has always lived in a tea shop. His underground work, which has been tense and alert for many years, made him sleep very poorly. He slept very lightly every night. Even if there was a little movement around him, he could wake him up.
In a trance, he heard the familiar knock on the door. He suddenly felt a sudden thrill and woke up, losing all sleepiness.
This is the sound he has been looking forward to for a long time. He listened carefully for a moment and finally confirmed that this is not his own auditory hallucination, this sound, this rhythm.
This is the shadow coming back!
Xia Deyan felt his heart beating quickly. He had been waiting for this reunion for too long. He was anxious and didn't even bother to wear shoes. He pulled the bedroom lights and quickly walked to the back door. He took a deep breath, calmed his excitement, and then gently opened the door.
The situation was no different from the previous few times. No one appeared outside the door. It was pitch black all around and nothing could be seen, only a suitcase under your feet.
Xia Deyan knew that the shadow was watching him in the darkness and confirmed whether he had received the message.
He quickly picked up the suitcase, turned around and returned to the house, then closed the door tightly, placed the suitcase on the table, and opened it gently, and it was still full of brand new US dollars, with a piece of paper on it, and he looked carefully through the light.
"I am about to be transferred to Shanghai for work, and I am afraid I will lose contact. Please go to the near Xinle Park in Chengdong, Shanghai to open a bluestone tea shop. I hope to contact you after going to Shanghai, and then do some contact!"
The last signature word "shadow" is still the familiar pen, with dragons flying and phoenix dancing, walking like flowing water!
Ning Zhiheng asked the farmer to go to Shanghai to serve as his liaison officer this time because after Miao Yongyi left, he had no channels to contact the organization around him. Once he obtained major information about the underground party organization, he would not be able to pass it on. If there was any delay, it would easily cause major losses.
Besides, my future work focus will be in Shanghai, which is the frontier of the intelligence of the struggle against Japan. I will not stay in Chongqing for a long time, and it is useless for a farmer to stay in Chongqing and has no meaning.
Finally received the shadow!
Looking at the information on the paper, Xia Deyan couldn't help but waved his fist excitedly, and ignored the box of dollars, without any turmoil in his heart.
The next day, Ning Zhiheng embarked on a trip back to Shanghai. He sat in the back seat of a car, next to him a middle-aged man in his forties.
This person's name is Liu Ruichang, and he is also Huang Xianzheng's old foundation. He is the major intelligence officer of the Military Affairs Bureau and the head of the material team specially selected by Huang Xianzheng.
Liu Ruichang formed a material group specifically responsible for the handling of smuggled materials and bulk sales in Shanghai. There were more than 100 personnel in the entire material group, all of which were composed of the direct forces of the Baoding Group.
Huang Xianzheng intervenes in various logistics equipment, military muskets, and reselling of the Military Intelligence Investigation Office every year. Liu Ruichang is one of the main responsible persons of these private transactions. He is very familiar with the handling of these materials. After receiving Huang Xianzheng's order, he quickly selected personnel, formed an organizational structure, and completed the entire channel.
Ning Zhiheng looked at the materials in his hand and asked softly: "Does the current situation have any impact on our channels?"
After Huang Xianzheng's order was issued, Ning Zhiheng also sent a notice to the intelligence department far away in Shanghai. Under Zuo Rou's coordination, Fujiwara Company in the downtown area of Shanghai and the trade dealer in the concession quickly opened a smuggling channel to Jiangxi, and the current transportation of goods has begun to be circulated.
Ning Zhiheng is a representative figure of the Baoding system in the Military Control Bureau. His status is only under Huang Xianzheng. Among the senior executives of the Baoding system in the commander-in-chief, he is highly valued by several bigwigs and has a high status. He is also famous for his ruthlessness and cold blood. It is their immediate superiors of the grassroots Baoding system personnel. Now Liu Ruichang's material team is under Ning Zhiheng's command, so Liu Ruichang naturally dares not be negligent in his inquiries about Ning Zhiheng.
After hearing the inquiry from the audience, Liu Ruichang quickly replied: "Report to the office, the Japanese army's attack was mainly concentrated in Wuhan, and our final sales point was set in Changsha. In terms of transportation, we chose to go from Nanchang, Jiangxi to Ji'an and then to Zhuzhou. This transportation line was not affected. These batches of goods were scattered in the Changsha market and were stolen. The funds were recovered very quickly."
Speaking of this, he lowered his voice and said solemnly: "The profits are extremely considerable!"
Obviously, these smuggling transactions have surprised him, especially since Guangzhou Bay has just been captured by the Japanese army, China's economic artery has been completely cut off, and all the materials are even more tight and scarce, showing a unilateral market phenomenon with no market price. Even a pack of sugar has increased several times. What's more, the smuggling and transported from Shanghai are extremely tight controlled commodities, including gasoline, steel, and electric materials, and many of them, especially medicines, which are priced at gold. These are military supplies urgently needed by the mainland, and the prices have risen again and again, which has made Liu Ruichang, a veteran who is used to black market business, feel frightened by this huge profit.
Ning Zhiheng was a little dissatisfied. He said coldly: "Changsha is certainly a major city, but it will soon become the frontier of the battlefield. Putting the sales point here is too risky. You can immediately open the transportation line from De to Chongqing and transport the materials directly to the capital of Chongqing. The price can be increased by at least twice, and the safety will be greatly increased."
Liu Ruichang knew what Ning Zhiheng meant, and his eyes flashed a little.
Ning Zhiheng looked at his embarrassed expression, frowned, and asked in a deep voice: "What? What are the difficulties?"
Liu Ruichang hurriedly explained: "It's just that Chongqing is too far away, our transportation line is too long, and the funds are recovered slowly. More importantly, Xu Ancai, the commander of the 143rd Division stationed in Changde, has a little appetite, and I'm afraid this person will interfere."
"What does it mean?" Ning Zhiheng changed color. A small division commander dared to compete with the Military Control Bureau. Did he eat the courage of the ambitious leopard?
