Ning Zhiheng's words lifted Miao Yongyi's spirits, and he nodded heavily and did not speak again.

The two of them did not call a rickshaw again, but walked and watched in Wuhan City, chatting while walking, Wuhan is a big city in Central China, business is prosperous, don't walk around the streets, Ning Zhiheng has been working behind enemy lines for more than a year, and his mind is tense with a string, and now he has the opportunity to relax, and his mood is slowly getting better.

Unexpectedly, when the time came to noon, Miao Yongyi felt a little hungry, turned his head to Ning Zhiheng and asked, "Find something to eat at noon!" ”

Ning Zhiheng looked left and right, stretched out his hand to call two people in a rickshaw, sat on it, and said to the coachman: "Hubu Street, Lianfeng Hotel!" ”

The two of them quickly rushed to the Lianfeng Hotel, which is a high-end Western-style hotel, which is rare in Wuhan, and after Ning Zhiheng entered the hall, he found a window seat and sat down.

Miao Yongyi looked around, there were not many people in the hall, only a few tables with diners, both men and women were dressed fashionably, the clothes were elegant, and it could be seen that they were all citizens of higher class.

"How did you know there was a hotel? You haven't been to Wuhan either? Miao Yongyi asked strangely, "Is this hotel famous?" ”

He came to Ning Zhiheng and sat down opposite, looked at the street outside the window, and from here he could clearly see the flow of people coming and going outside.

Ning Zhiheng smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and a waiter walked over quickly.

"What do you need?"

"Foie gras, vegetable soup, grilled steak, double! A vegetable salad and a bottle of white wine! Ning Zhiheng said briefly.

"Okay, please wait!"

After ordering the dishes, Ning Zhiheng said: "You will come here often in the future, I will take you here today to familiarize yourself with the environment." ”

"Will I come often?" Miao Yongyi was confused when he heard it, but he knew that Ning Zhiheng would never say these words for no reason, and quietly waited for the following.

Ning Zhiheng chose to eat here, and naturally there was a reason for him.

Half a year ago, He Siming reported to him that his teacher Akihito Akita took him, along with several Japanese agents who were proficient in Chinese, to Nanjing to receive six Chinese, all of whom were prisoners of war selected by the Japanese military according to their special status.

One of them is Wen Hao, the current director of the Shanghai Special High-tech Agent Investigation Division, who was brought back to Shanghai by Akira Akita because the information was not secret when he was arrested, and was known by other Chinese agents, and he was no longer able to complete the hidden mission.

The other five personnel were all taken to Wuhan by Akihito Akita, and placed back into the Chinese government according to their original identities, equipped with separate liaison officers and radio stations, and established relatively independent intelligence channels.

But because Akita Akihito was cautious, he handled it very tightly in the process of inserting the inside line, and even his most trusted student He Siming didn't know the specific situation.

However, He Siming still wrote down the seven Japanese agents who were on a mission together at that time and were proficient in Chinese, and Ning Zhiheng drew their faces according to these descriptions.

He Siming told Ning Zhiheng a detail, and when the operation was about to end, He Siming said that he was assigned by his teacher to send 50,000 fiat currency to one of the Japanese agents, and the connection location was the lobby of the Lianfeng Hotel where they are now.

The Japanese agent's name was Miyahara Ryohei, 29 years old, and based on the situation of the two people at that time, Ning Zhiheng judged that this person's disguised identity should be an employee of a nearby trading house or company.

When Ning Zhiheng came to Wuhan this time, he was ready to take this opportunity to find this Japanese agent according to this important clue, and find his down-line intelligence agent, that is, the inside line of an important government department.

Ning Zhiheng didn't explain much to Miao Yongyi at this time, and soon the dishes were served, and Ning Zhiheng motioned for Miao Yongyi to eat.

Miao Yongyi held a knife and fork in his hand, and when he looked at Ning Zhiheng's skillful use, he couldn't help but say helplessly: "You didn't eat these foreign vegetables before, but now you are spoiled by Director Zuo, can you eat these enough?" ”

For a period of time, Zuo Rou made rapid progress in learning to cook Western food, and her skills became better and better, Ning Zhiheng praised a few words, which caused a direct consequence, that is, for a period of time, every day was Western food, until Ning Zhiheng's patience was a little unbearable, so he gave up, and Miao Yongyi also made fun of Ning Zhiheng for this.

Ning Zhiheng laughed, pointed to the dishes on the table and said: "Yongyi, you are also a major agent of the Military Intelligence Department now, there are some things to learn, do our business, you have to listen more, watch more, learn more, understand everything, you have been in Shanghai for a year, you haven't even learned to eat Western food, I have to say, you are not very qualified as an agent!" ”

Shanghai is the most westernized city in China, where Eastern and Western cultures collide and merge, especially in the Public Concession and the French Concession, where Western restaurants are everywhere, and many Shanghai residents will eat Western food.

Miao Yongyi used the knife and fork a little clumsily, and his mouth was a little unconvinced: "It's not that I don't know how to eat Western food, I just don't like it, these foreigners have too many rules and too much attention, so I rarely go to Western restaurants to eat, and besides, you usually let me guard the Tan Mansion, and I have few opportunities to go out!" ”

Ning Zhiheng was speechless for a moment, Miao Yongyi's duty is to protect the intelligence station organs, so he has rarely gone out to perform tasks, which is also what Ning Zhiheng did on purpose, Miao Yongyi didn't like this kind of work very much, and had proposed to Ning Zhiheng many times before to do field work, but Ning Zhiheng found all kinds of excuses to refuse, mainly because he was afraid that he would know too much about the situation of the intelligence station.

Since Miao Yongyi joined the intelligence station, he has been in a dormant state, and he has never sent a message to the underground party, mainly because some intelligence has little value to the underground party, and now it seems that it is too restrictive for him, so Ning Zhiheng plans to find something for him to do.

Ning Zhiheng skillfully cut off a piece of steak meat, put it into his mouth with a fork, and then said: "Yongyi, I know you don't like to stay in the Tan Mansion, so I came to Wuhan this time to bring you with me, after all, you are now under the Military Intelligence Department, it is necessary to go back to the headquarters to understand, and then let you relax, don't you want to go out on a field mission, this time I will give you a task!" ”

Miao Yongyi became interested when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "What task, I will definitely ensure that it will be completed beautifully." ”

"Let's eat first! I'll talk to you about it after dinner! ”

The two of them quickly finished the main meal, the waiter served two cups of coffee, and Ning Zhiheng began to say: "We got a piece of news, one of the intelligence officers of the Japanese special high school is lurking in Wuhan, and one of them is hiding near this Lianfeng Hotel, but the specific location is unknown, your mission this time is to find out this Japanese spy." ”

"Japanese spy?" Miao Yongyi nodded again and again when he heard this, what he was most willing to do was to deal with the Japanese, and now he couldn't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but dealing with Japanese spies on the intelligence front was of course what he wanted!

"Are there any clues? There has to be some evidence, right? Miao Yongyi hurriedly asked.

Ning Zhiheng took a sip of coffee lightly and said in a low voice: "We know a little about this Japanese person, this person's name is Miyahara Ryohei, about thirty years old, according to my judgment, his hidden identity is an employee of a trading house or company near here, but this is just my judgment, you can't completely rely on this, and I still have a portrait of this Japanese in my hand." ”

"Portrait! As they often say, you have the skill of drawing a picture out of thin air, and you can draw exactly the same as a real person without seeing a real person! Miao Yongyi said in a low voice, and couldn't help but be curious.

"Where did you learn this? Agent training still teaches these? If it weren't for the two of us being together since childhood, I would have known you when you turned to ashes, and I would have doubted that you had been dropped! ”

Miao Yongyi is surrounded by many veteran action team members brought by Ning Zhiheng from Nanjing, and often talks in Miao Yongyi's ear about Ning Zhiheng's deeds in Nanjing City, at the beginning, he always thought that these people were spreading false rumors and patting Ning Zhiheng's sycophants, until later I knew that his brother really lived up to his reputation, enjoyed a great reputation in the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Department, and was the leading counter-espionage master of the Military Intelligence Department.

"These guys have forgotten the rules of secrecy! There is no one who guards the door in his mouth, and he says everything! ”

Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but laugh dumbly, he didn't want to explain more to Miao Yongyi, his deeds in Nanjing are not top secret now, and after so much time, it is inevitable that these old subordinates of his will take it out and brag about it.

Miao Yongyi said with a smile: "It's all about chatting about nothing, I took the initiative to inquire, don't bother them." ”

After speaking, he quickly changed the topic, the intelligence department is very disciplined, if you really care, your brothers are only afraid of bad luck.

"Zhiheng, you just leave this matter to me, I will definitely catch this guy, and I will never let you down!"

Ning Zhiheng waved his hand, his face became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "I asked you to find someone, not to arrest someone, as long as you find this person, you must not alarm him, I will follow this line to find his intelligence agent, remember, this matter is top secret, I will transfer five people for you, this case is only known to you, report it to me after you find it, and then issue a gag order, and you can't mention it to anyone, understand?" ”

Miao Yongyi saw that Ning Zhiheng was so cautious, he naturally knew the importance of this matter, he was also a well-trained Whampoa officer, of course, there was no problem with discipline and obedience, and immediately replied in a low voice: "Yes, you must not alarm the target, and issue a gag order after the action, and never leak it!" ”

Ning Zhiheng nodded with satisfaction and said: "This is the first time you have presided over an intelligence operation, I know that since you joined the intelligence station, you have also learned a lot from the team members around you, but this time it is a real battle, you have to go through everything and think about it!" ”

"Yes!" Miao Yongyi nodded and took the order.

Ning Zhiheng is looking for this target this time, the purpose is just to find the intelligence agent secretly, just find out his identity, and know it in his heart, but he will never arrest him, because the incubation time of this inside line is still short, if there is no action to collect intelligence, he will be arrested by himself, which will make the Japanese suspect that Shanghai will bring danger to He Siming.
