Chapter 18 Continue to Investigate
As usual, Ning Zhiheng will enter his own consciousness space every night when he sleeps, which has become an instinct.
Every time he recites Buddhist scriptures under the Bodhi tree, he can enter a state of deep meditation and forgetfulness. It is equivalent to a state of deep dormancy in his brain.
In this state, his spirit is extremely pleasant and peaceful. After ordinary people enter sleep, they will have shallow sleep or dreaming. The time to enter deep sleep will not be long, only about one to two hours.
Some people with neurasthenia cannot enter a deep sleep state at all. They spend the entire night sleeping in shallow or even sleepless states, and wake up as soon as there is movement.
Ning Zhiheng had severe neurasthenia in his previous life. Sometimes he slept for at most two to three hours a night. Of course, this was caused by his working environment and experience.
Especially when my wife left him with her child, she almost couldn't fall asleep all night, she was drowsy every day, and her mental state was very poor.
However, since the day he entered the consciousness space and recited Buddhist scriptures under the Bodhi tree, the situation has undergone earth-shaking changes. The extreme spiritual peace and tranquility and the meditation state of consciousness have all given his spirit and body the greatest cultivation and nourishment.
In this state, he could not feel the passage of time. No matter how hard he worked during the day or how tired his body was, as long as he entered the consciousness space that night to recite Buddhist scriptures, and when he quit the consciousness space in the morning and woke up, his spirit and body could reach the best state, full of energy and strong muscles.
Sitting cross-legged under the Bodhi tree, the sound of chanting the scriptures still sounded in my ears. I recited it in response, feeling the extreme tranquility and emptiness.
Indulging in this state, he didn't know how long he finally stopped reciting scriptures and retired from the quiet and empty meditation state.
He looked up at the green leaves on the Bodhi tree, frowned, and a hint of worry appeared in his heart.
Since the Bodhi tree entered his consciousness space, it has consumed a fruit and a leaf. The consumption of the fruit has caused him to travel through this magical journey.
A green leaf greatly improved his physical fitness.
It can be seen that every consumption can greatly benefit him. There are still six green leaves left on the tree, but only consumption but no growth.
This state of only going out but not going in makes him feel very sad. After thinking for a long time, he felt that since there are fruits and green leaves on the Bodhi tree, there must be a reason for its growth.
What he has to do now is to find ways to make Bodhi trees grow more green leaves and fruits, and find specific sources of energy that can help grow.
Suddenly, an inspiration broke out. The Bodhi tree is a treasure of Buddhism. Whenever you enter the consciousness space, you can hear the magical sound of reciting Buddhist scriptures from the Bodhi tree. This shows that all this is inseparable from Buddhism.
In the last few years of his previous life, due to his unsuccessful career and marriage, he had already begun to slowly come into contact with Buddhist culture. Even in his collection, there were several old versions of Zen Buddhist scriptures.
With his understanding of Buddhist culture, most of the Buddhist scriptures he hears reading every day are different, and there are countless Buddhist scriptures, as vast as a sea of smoke.
The scriptures delivered by the Bodhi tree are random. Many times, he has no idea which scripture he recites.
He once tried to recite some of the scriptures of the Dharma Sutra that he remembered in his previous life. However, it was ineffective and could not enter a state of tranquility and emptiness. In other words, he could only passively follow the chanting of the scriptures delivered from the Bodhi tree to be effective.
Maybe he should collect some cultural relics and artifacts about Buddhism to see if they can have any effect. Maybe it can bring him some surprises!
With this idea, Ning Zhiheng felt the more he thought about it. Nanjing Jinling is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties and a famous Buddhist holy land in history.
Even after thousands of years of storms, there are still dozens of Buddhist temples nearby Nanjing. And there are also many Buddhist items stored among the people. It should not be difficult to collect them.
Early the next morning, Ning Zhiheng got up early and went out after washing up. Today, he was not wearing military uniforms, but wearing casual clothes for students and dressed like young students.
His task today is to follow the road map provided by Huang Taoguang and follow the road where Yukiki Yanagi usually goes to and from get off work. He carefully searches for the house with flowers on the windowsill in his mind.
When I arrived at the house where Yukiki Yanagi lived on Beihua Street, the courtyard gate was still in a confinement. The surrounding residents and neighbors were avoiding each other, for fear of causing trouble.
It was just that the gate of a courtyard opposite was half open, and a young man in ordinary clothes was pouring out toiletries at the door. He looked like an inadvertent look at him.
Ning Zhiheng recognized this person at first sight as the intelligence officer who was responsible for monitoring and informing Huang Taoguang when he arrested Yukihi Yakuta four days ago.
It seems that the intelligence department has not given up completely, and the surveillance personnel have not withdrawn. Ning Zhiheng ignored his gaze and did not stop, and began to patrol the set route.
The man saw Ning Zhiheng a little suspicious. He saw him in a hurry four days ago. Now Ning Zhiheng has changed his clothes again. He just feels a little impression. But as long as there is a trace of suspicion, he cannot let it go. Thinking of this, he is ready to follow.
At this time, a whisper came from behind: "Don't follow me, I'm the one from the Operation Team. I personally arrested Fu Cheng that day. Haha, it seems that the Operation Department has not given up either!"
After hearing this, the young man showed no abnormality. He poured the toilet water at the door, turned around and slowly returned to his yard. It seemed that nothing had happened.
Ning Zhiheng walked very slowly, and his eyes were patrolling around, carefully observing the scenery of the houses on both sides of the street.
Jinling is a very prosperous metropolis with many houses and shops on both sides of the road. There are many buildings in two-story small buildings. There are also many second-story houses with flowers on the windowsill. Many are very similar to the one in my mind.
After all, the short moment in my mind was limited in length and did not reveal the scenery around the house. It would be difficult to carefully identify it.
But Ning Zhiheng is a very patient person. The distance is not very far, so he is confident that he can gain something.
I slowly looked forward carefully, marked the paper while walking, and walked unknowingly to the place where Yukiki Yanagi went to work.
I carefully recorded seven houses along the way, all of which were very similar to the one in my mind, three of which were filled with flowers on the windowsills.
He walked back and forth three times, and added two more houses to the paper. There were a total of nine houses with windowsills and styles, which were very similar to those in memory.
His remaining work is to screen out these nine houses. Three houses with flowers will be investigated as the focus.
The rest of the work is very tedious and the workload is also very large. He alone cannot complete it in a short time. He decided to use Liu Datong to complete the preliminary screening. This kind of thing is more suitable for Datong than for him.
Time is too important. It is the fourth day since Fu Cheng's arrest. If his accomplices feel that something is wrong, they will give up the communication location. At that time, even if they find this house, it will be useless.
This is already the last clue and hope of this case, and he must do his best to complete it.
As noon approached, he rushed to the police branch near Beihua Street. The urban area of Nanjing is very large, with more than 20 police branch offices of all sizes under the General Police Bureau. He is in charge of various parts of the urban area.
Liu Datong was about to go home for lunch at this time, and as soon as he left the police station, he saw Ning Zhiheng coming towards him.
Ning Zhiheng waved his hand and Liu Datou quickly followed behind. The two turned around and entered a hotel next to them and found a remote private room. Ning Zhiheng ordered a few dishes casually, and Liu Datong poured tea with diligently: "What's the matter with me? Even if you tell me, you will definitely do it for you."
Ning Zhiheng took out the marked drawing from his pocket, put it on the table and pushed it to Liu Datong and said, "I have a case of arresting Japanese spies in my hand. Now I have some clues. But I am not very familiar with the urban streets of Nanjing. What you need to do now is to follow the nine houses marked on my drawings. Go to each room to check carefully. Find out who the owner of these nine houses is? The family situation? What is the background? Especially those who have rose potted plants, pay special attention and must inquire carefully. What you need to pay attention to is that this thing must be done in a hidden way and must not be alarmed. Can it be done?"
Liu Datong reached out to take the drawing, looked carefully at the content above and said, "Don't worry, these houses are all within our jurisdiction. Even if you want to find a kitten and a dog, I can catch you, and I will ensure that God will not know it."
"Okay, remember, the faster this matter, the better. The longer the time, the greater the possibility of this spy escaping."
Ning Zhiheng was very satisfied. In this area, Liu Datong was a local snake. They could draw out specific information from each household in the area from the police station and know the situation in their own area well.
It is best to use Liu Datong to investigate the information and identities of residents. The efficiency is much better than using the members of the Intelligence and Operations Department of the MIIS.
In fact, this is a major reason why every spy organization must expand in history. They all need to absorb some local forces familiar with local conditions as peripheral organizations to enhance their control over the local area.
"How long will it take for you to complete the investigation as soon as possible?" Ning Zhiheng was still a little worried. After all, Yukihi Yanagi had been arrested for a long time, and maybe his accomplices have given up this communication location now.
As soon as they get the information that Yukiki Yanagi was arrested, no one can guarantee whether he will provide this communication location.
The safest and safest way is to quickly leave and lurk. Because there was a lot of noise in the capture of Yukiki Yanagi at that time. Although Huang Taoguang judged that his accomplices did not know Fu Cheng's cover identity and contacted each other through a dead mailbox, this was a judgment after all, and it was not necessarily accurate.
So now time is very important. It is crucial to keep the Japanese spy organization unresponsive at the fastest speed.
When Liu Datong heard Ning Zhiheng's question, he knew that time was very tight. He thought about it secretly and said, "I will investigate as soon as possible. Give me an afternoon, and I will go to your residence tonight and give you the results of the investigation."
It seems that Liu Datong is really capable of completing the investigation so quickly. He originally thought that he would be able to complete the investigation as soon as tomorrow. He didn't expect that he would only need one afternoon. Don't underestimate the time of this day, as the chance of success will greatly increase.
"Are you sure?" Ning Zhiheng asked again.
"Certainly, don't worry, but if I want to complete the investigation in such a short time, I have to use some of my subordinates. Then I am not the only one in the insider. I have been in the police station for so many years. I still have some helpers under my subordinates, and they can mobilize them all. I will definitely investigate the matter before dark."
"Are you brothers reliable? There is no big deal of movement, and the action must be hidden. If it is messed up and shocked the snake, it will definitely not work." Ning Zhiheng hesitated. He didn't know what kind of personnel Liu Datong would have. Those who could be involved in the police station would not be honest ordinary people. He was afraid that these mermaids would be mixed, and the quality would be mixed, and they would ruin the matter.
"Don't worry, I have a few trustworthy staff in the police station, and there are also a few brothers on the street who have grown up together. I, Liu Datou, have been able to get to the position of a team leader today, and they are all supported by these brothers. They are all reliable and have a strict mouth, so they will never delay your major affairs." Liu Datong immediately patted his chest and promised.
Ning Zhiheng nodded. It is a good thing that Liu Datong has people under him who can use them. This shows that he can indirectly control this small gang through Liu Datong and can initially form his own power.
"This is the best!" Ning Zhiheng said. Then he threw a stack of banknotes on the dining table. "This is 200 yuan of legal tender, just treat it as your action fund. I don't care how you use it, I just want the result."
Liu Datong was overwhelmed by Ning Zhiheng's actions. It was not that he had not received any money. It was just that he was a patrol team leader, and his monthly salary was only 20 yuan, and even if he received the black money, he didn't have much money.
Now is the time when the fiat currency has just begun to be issued, and it is also the time when it is the strongest. The 200 yuan fiat currency has also been his income for several months.
"What are you doing? You should be responsible for doing things for you. With you, a big tree, I, Liu Datou, will have a better life in the future. I should be given filial piety, so why will you spend money?" After saying that, I waved my hands repeatedly and returned the money.
Ning Zhiheng smiled slightly, then pushed the money back to Liu Datong and said, "It is natural to take money when doing things. Although you follow me in the future, you can't let you run errands in vain. I am a person who emphasizes the distinction between rewards and punishments. Besides, you have to arrange your brothers to do things. If you don't charge money, don't you have to spend money, so you can't let them work in vain. Who is willing to do things that are not good these days? I won't do things that are useless. Don't worry, I don't even see this little money. As long as you do your best in the future, the benefits will naturally be indispensable."
He now has a wealth of funds, and most of them are handed over to his teacher He Feng. He also reserved some capital turnover for convenience in daily work.
When Liu Datong heard this, he was very grateful. Unexpectedly, his backer, who was young and did not show any leakage, was a generous and generous master. It seemed that he had been working hard at the same time and finally held a thick leg.
Unexpectedly, Liu Datong was very happy to get this wealth for nothing. Money means having a good reputation. At that time, this stack of money is thrown in front of his brothers. That grandeur and scene will be so tough.
