"Since the British have swept away all the belongings and belongings of Naoto Yanagawa , then the drawings must have fallen into their hands, how can it be said that they didn't succeed?" Ning Zhiheng asked.

Huo Yueze explained: "According to Yongfeng's news, this time, the British did not succeed, as soon as the Notting passenger ship docked, it was seized by the British garrison on the grounds of safety hazards, pulled to the dock, and carried out a carpet search, and the search has not ended until now, it is conceivable that the drawings should not have arrived."

Moreover, even the passengers on the Notting have been searched to varying degrees after getting off the ship, and the British have made a big move this time, obviously dealing with it in a hurry. ”

Ning Zhiheng suddenly understood that if the British succeeded, they would naturally leave quietly and make a fortune in a muffled voice, and they would never do it so obviously, making such a big move, it was simply a posture of tearing the skin.

He pondered for a moment, and then proposed another possibility: "You say, could it be that the drawings are still on the three partners of Naoto Yanagawa and the Japanese are shouting to catch the thief, so they are suspicious?" ”

Huo Yueze shook his head and said: "I don't think it should be, the technology transaction between the Japanese and the Germans is very hidden, if the drawings are not lost, the Japanese will not react so much."

Besides, Yanagawa Naoto is the leader of these people, such an important top-secret information, if it were me, it is impossible to fake it with people and hand it over to others for safekeeping, and these three Japanese spies were also detained by the British garrison for a period of time when they got off the ship, and they were carefully searched, and it was later confirmed that there was no result, so they were released. ”

Huo Yueze's quick thinking and thoughtful and meticulous consideration of problems made Ning Zhiheng very satisfied.

"Well, that makes sense!" Ning Zhiheng nodded slightly, frowning, "Then it's strange, the British put in so much effort, and even didn't hesitate to show the carriage and horses with the Japanese, but in the end they found nothing, did these two drawings grow wings and fly by themselves?" ”

Huo Yueze hurriedly said: "Yongfeng is also very strange about the performance of both sides, according to her judgment, the loss of the drawings this time, it is likely that a third party is intervening, and her people are still continuing to investigate the follow-up situation, she participated in the intelligence gathering yesterday, and rushed back to Hong Kong today, I have agreed with her that once there is a new situation, it will be sold to us as soon as possible." ”

"A third party? Are you saying that there are fishermen who make a profit? Who could it be? Ning Zhiheng asked suspiciously.

Judging from the current development of the situation, the forces that can be imagined now are trying their best to find the drawings, which means that the drawings have not yet reached their hands, so who will this third party force be?

Huo Yueze also didn't know, and his eyes followed Ning Zhiheng around.

Ning Zhiheng thought for a while, couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment, and continued: "Now it seems that it is impossible to count on Yongfeng, the drawings have either fallen into the hands of a third-party force, or they are still in Hong Kong, and it is impossible to flow to Shanghai, we can't waste it here, we must take the initiative to find it." ”

Suddenly, he thought of something and hurriedly asked, "Yongfeng only sold this news to you, or did he also have contact with others?" ”

"Other people have also been in contact, and I want to buy out these news, but Yongfeng disagrees, and other people have long been staring at her, especially Anderson and Phillips, and these news will soon reach the ears of all parties."

"Let's go to Hong Kong!"

Ning Zhiheng finally made up his mind, once the news spread, all forces would know that it would be difficult for the Shanghai intelligence market to have results, so they would concentrate intelligence forces in Hong Kong, and it would only be a waste of effort to stay in Shanghai.

These two drawings are too important and too involved, whether it is the underground party organization or the Chongqing headquarters, they all require him to spare no effort to implement them, so he must not slack off at all.

However, the Intelligence Bureau's strength in Hong Kong is limited, and when Ning Zhiheng sent Shen Ling's intelligence team to Hong Kong, he deliberately issued an order that the Hong Kong Intelligence Unit was specifically for smuggling channels and was only responsible for commercial operations.

In addition to Fujiwara Kaisha, other members of the firing group have also set up many peripheral enterprises, such as shipping companies, logistics companies, and real estate companies, and other industries.

So Ning Zhiheng decided to go to Hong Kong by himself, and he wanted to investigate and find it himself, in order to gain something.

When Huo Yueze heard this, he hesitated, he said carefully: "Seat, now Hong Kong is on the cusp, all forces are gathered, crises are lurking, your identity is too important, if you are in danger, the consequences will be unimaginable......"

"That's it!" Ning Zhiheng waved his hand, now he can't take care of so much, the more complex and changeable the situation, the more he has to preside over it personally, so that he can adapt to the situation, act with authority, and stay in Shanghai to control the main affairs, always unsteady.

Besides, he has great confidence in himself, and since he joined the intelligence work, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles he has encountered, so far, there is no task that can make it difficult for him, at least he is confident that he can get out of it with his whole body.

Seeing that Ning Zhiheng had made up his mind, Huo Yueze knew that his boss's temper had always been decisive in killing, and once he made a decision, no one could question it, so he nodded and said, "Okay, the strength of the Hong Kong side is a little weaker, just in case, I will bring an action team with you." ”

"No, you still stay here and keep an eye on the intelligence market, there is always a case, if the drawings really appear, don't miss it, no matter how much it costs, you must get it, as for Hong Kong, let Zuo Qiang's action team go with me, without further ado, I will enter the concession this afternoon, and then rush to Hong Kong at night."

Huo Yueze nodded and took the order, and then suddenly remembered another thing, and asked: "By the way, there is another thing, we have obtained a major piece of information, which is about North China, which is provided by Lao Hong from Tianjin, and the Red Party army is about to have a big operation." ”

Intelligence worth 26,000 US dollars is definitely a rare and important information in the intelligence market, and you must know that the price of buying drawing information from Yongfeng is only 5,000 US dollars, so Huo Yueze must report to Ning Zhiheng.

So Huo Yueze made a detailed report to Ning Zhiheng on the information he purchased from Lao Hong yesterday, and finally said: "The Red Party's troops are frequently mobilized, and the intelligence shows that they will soon launch an attack on the Zhengtai Line. ”

Ning Zhiheng was taken aback, there was really such important information at this gathering, the stakes were very high, he had to intercept this information, and he couldn't let it spread, he immediately asked: "How much did it cost, is this news an exclusive buyout?" ”

"Lao Hong asked for 26,000 US dollars, I bought it on the spot, but there was no buyout, usually information like this, in the intelligence market, no one is interested except us, if you buy out, the price is too high!"

In the intelligence market, if you want to prevent intelligence leakage and buy out exclusive intelligence, the price must be at least doubled.

The reason why he was willing to spend a lot of money on this information was that since the end of last year, an anti-Red wave began to rise within the Kuomintang, and large-scale military frictions broke out between the Kuomintang troops and the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, and the Japanese army also took this opportunity to carry out the cage plan, causing serious difficulties to the Red Party's anti-Japanese base areas.

That's why Huo Yueze tried to find out the weaknesses of the Red Party and provide them to the Kuomintang military as a reference.

But this is definitely not the result that Ning Zhiheng wants, he waved his hand and said categorically: "No, you immediately contact Lao Hong, buy out this information, you must hurry, you must not let him have the opportunity to contact other buyers, and let him continue to explore the movements of the Japanese military, do not discount the price, let him make the price." ”

"Yes!" Huo Yueze hurriedly nodded and took the order.

Ning Zhiheng then ordered: "This piece of information is intercepted and cannot be sent back to the headquarters, remember, all the information about the Red Party in the future must be reviewed by me before it can be sent to Chongqing, otherwise it will be severely punished." ”

"Yes, I see, all Red Party intelligence must be reviewed by you."

At this time, Ning Zhiheng stared at Huo Yueze, his expression became more and more serious, and it took a long time before he said slowly: "Yueze, you have to remember that now that the national crisis is at hand, when the nation is in danger, the Japanese are our primary target, and now the military government also has its own position, some people want to take advantage of the fire to rob and fight in the same room, and some people are willing to sincerely resist Japan and unite with the outside world."

I can tell you plainly that my position is the latter, not only myself, but I will never allow my subordinates to ignore the general interests of the nation and do things that are happy for relatives and enemies, you must keep this in mind! ”

The Shanghai Intelligence Section is the most important descendant force in Ning Zhiheng's hands, as the head of the Intelligence Section, Huo Yueze's position affects the political trend of the entire Intelligence Section to a certain extent, so Ning Zhiheng has to make his words clear first, lest Huo Yueze do not know the stakes and do things against his will.

He is not afraid that Huo Yueze will have other thoughts, all the cadres of the Intelligence Department are Ning Zhiheng's team, and everyone knows that Huo Yueze is Ning Zhiheng's confidant who has been pulled up by his hand, and his net worth and future are tied to Ning Zhiheng, and he will never dare to go against Ning Zhiheng's wishes, otherwise Ning Zhiheng would rather use his hands to clear it, and there will be no hidden danger.

It was the first time Huo Yueze heard Ning Zhiheng talk to him in such a stern tone, and his heart became more and more nervous, he hurriedly bowed down and said: "I understand that I will follow you to the death, and I will never let you down!" ”
