In a safe house in the concession, Zuo Qiang reported to Ning Zhiheng and Huo Yueze: "We moved near his house, and a driver and a bodyguard were also arrested together, and the vehicle has been sent to the French Concession to hide, and the operation is very smooth, without alarming anyone." ”

Ning Zhiheng nodded, and opened his mouth to Huo Yueze and instructed: "You are in charge of the interrogation, you must confirm how much he knows?" How many people are involved in this? In short, there can't be anything about us leaking out! ”

"Yes!" Huo Yueze nodded in agreement and turned to leave.

Two hours later, Huo Yueze finally ended the interrogation and came back to report the results of the interrogation to Ning Zhiheng.

"Zha Yutang has confessed, he was persuaded by Li Zhiqun in mid-February to agree to spy on Phillips for him, and find out our traces, a total of seven people were sent to follow the whole process, these people are his cronies, this is the list!"

handed over a copy of the list to Ning Zhiheng, and then reported: "These people did photograph some people who were in frequent contact with Phillips during the tracking period, and Zha Yutang did some investigations, and finally found out a few suspicious people, including ours. ”

Ning Zhiheng was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Is there really one, is it you, or Hongyi?" ”

Shanghai Intelligence Section, Huo Yueze and Ji Hongyi are in charge of the intelligence market, and they are the only ones who can contact Phillips.

"It's Hongyi, just after the last party, I didn't go because of something, Cha Yutang found Hongyi's figure in several photos, Hongyi is a well-known leader in the mouth of the Subei Gangtang, many people know him, so Cha Yutang didn't make much effort to find Hongyi, but he only knew that Hongyi was an intelligence dealer who traded information, but he couldn't confirm Hongyi's true identity, but he was listed as the most suspicious target."

When Huo Yueze said this, he couldn't help but feel a little afraid in his heart, Ji Hongyi was a core member of the Shanghai Intelligence Bureau, and he knew no less about the work of the Intelligence Section than himself, and once he was exposed to the Japanese and Li Zhiqun, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Ning Zhiheng said in a quiet tone: "I didn't expect it, we have been lurking in Shanghai for so long, and we think that we will run this place like a rock, but in the end it makes people take advantage of the loopholes, hum, a small Feng Sinian, turning east and west, will involve Hongyi, so I often say that details determine success or failure, and nothing can be left to chance!" If I hadn't kept an eye on this person, and Muyu's information was timely, you would have made a big mistake this time. ”

Ning Zhiheng still whispered at first, and then the volume became higher and higher, with obvious dissatisfaction.

Huo Yueze hurriedly lowered his head and said: "It is indeed my negligence, please rest assured, I promise that there will never be any more such incidents in the future." ”

"I didn't just talk about you, he Ji Hongyi is the same, he didn't know that he was being followed and photographed!"

Speaking of this, Ning Zhiheng's expression eased, and then asked in a deep voice, "Where are these photos?" ”

"In the drawer of his study, he circled not only Hongyi alone, but also some people's photos and investigation materials, which are the keys he has with him, and I will send someone to retrieve them."

"As soon as possible!" Ning Zhiheng nodded and said, handing over the list just now to Huo Yueze, "Remove it overnight, and anyone involved in this matter can't leave a single person alive." ”

"Yes!" Huo Yueze took the list and went out to arrange personnel to carry out the task.

The next day, the news of the disappearance of Inspector Zha Yutang of the Public Concession quickly spread throughout the entire Concession, and at the same time, several of his cronies disappeared overnight.

As the Chinese leader of the public concession, such a big thing happened, and there was a lot of discussion in the concession for a while, and it became a hot topic of discussion in the streets and alleys.

However, what is very surprising is that the high-level officials of the concession, especially the consulate, did not pursue the matter too much, but only made a simple announcement, and even before it was clear whether Zha Yutang was sure that he was killed, he immediately appointed another Inspector Hua to take over Zha Yutang's position, and soon took over the overall work of the patrol room.

Even the major newspapers and periodicals in the public concession have a cold attitude towards this matter, and cannot report on this matter, such an operation method, people with a heart are naturally like a mirror, Zha Yutang's disappearance, or murder, I am afraid that it is exactly what these high-level people expect, and even they are in it, I don't know who Zha Yutang offended, and ended up like this.

In the study room of the Tan Mansion, Ning Zhiheng carefully checked the photos in his hand, and there were some scattered investigation materials on the table, which Huo Yueze retrieved from Zha Yutang's home.

In the photo in front of them, Ji Hongyi and Phillips are standing next to a car and talking in a low voice, with an elegant Western-style house in the background behind them.

The same is true of some of the other photos, with the same background, but the people in the photos have changed, and several of them are the big intelligence dealers in the intelligence market, although they are a little far away, but their faces are clearly recognizable.

Ning Zhiheng quickly recognized that this Western-style bungalow was the villa of British intelligence businessman Anderson, and it seemed that the party was held in his home, although it was hidden, but it was not as forbidden to enter as the consulate and high-level clubs, so the tracked personnel seized the opportunity, and when the party dispersed, several participants were secretly photographed.

The materials also show that Cha Yutang later investigated these people, not to mention British intelligence merchant Anderson, whose name was at the head of the suspicious person, because the party was held at his home.

Then there is the German intelligence trafficker Lucas, the Frenchman Le Goff......

The identities of these people are all foreign businessmen in the concession, and Cha Yutang has found some things, and there are contents marked behind their names.

It should be noted that there are several Chinese faces among them, the most concerned is naturally Ji Hongyi, and the investigation information for Ji Hongyi is still relatively complete, the dual identity of the leader of the Northern Jiangsu Gang and the intelligence trafficker has been confirmed, fortunately, this information finally fell into the hands of Ning Zhiheng, otherwise the consequences are unpredictable!

The labels behind several other Chinese are empty, which means that Cha Yutang has not yet found out the origin and background of these people.

Ning Zhiheng usually didn't ask about the situation in the intelligence market, Huo Yueze and Ji Hongyi were responsible, and he didn't know the background of these people, he couldn't help but be a little curious, so he sent someone to call Huo Yueze.

Huo Yueze was busy outside all day, and communicated with Phillips in time, and the two sides worked together to deal with the aftermath, and after receiving Ning Zhiheng's call, he hurried back to the Tan Mansion and came to the study to report to Ning Zhiheng.

knocked on the door and said to Ning Zhiheng: "Seat, you look for me!" ”

"Hmm!"

Ning Zhiheng put down the materials in his hand when he heard the sound, leaned back on the seat, looked at Huo Yueze and asked, "How is the situation outside?" ”

"It's okay, Phillips has already done the work, everything is handled in a low-key manner, the consulate has sent someone to take over Zha Yutang's position, I don't think it will take a few days, no one will talk about this matter, and it will pass soon."

Ning Zhiheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this hoeing and rape operation should not be high-profile, if the news of Cha Yutang's disappearance spreads too widely, it is very likely to alarm Li Zhiqun in Nanjing, at this time he does not want Li Zhiqun to return to Shanghai to investigate this matter, after all, the real source of intelligence is Feng Sinian who was imprisoned on the 76th, in this way, if Li Zhiqun is alert enough, then it is possible to suspect that the internal leak of the 76th is too wide, and his side still has to do a good job of finishing the work and try to protect the safety of Muyu as much as possible.

He nodded and said, "Okay, this matter is over for the time being, you come and take a look, who are these people?" ”

Huo Yueze took a few steps forward, looked at Ning Zhiheng and pointed to several Chinese faces in the photo, and said one by one: "This middle-aged bearded man is an intelligence dealer in Tianjin, we all call him Lao Hong, a lot of northern intelligence is provided by him, and he has a lot of resources in his hands."

This woman's name is Yongfeng, she is mostly from South China, she speaks Cantonese, she is very fluent in English, and she is often absent from meetings, we don't think she lives in Shanghai......"

Huo Yueze is naturally very familiar with these business partners, and he quickly introduced them.

Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but feel refreshed, and said with a smile: "It's really eight immortals crossing the sea, all kinds of characters, if these materials of Zha Yutang fall into the hands of Li Zhiqun, it will inevitably cause a turmoil, and it will be a heavy blow to Shanghai's intelligence market, and he Phillips will owe us a big favor this time!" ”

Huo Yueze also replied with a smile: "Filly understands people, this time we reminded him and solved this matter again, and he said that he was willing to return our favor." ”

"What did he say?"

"First of all, he promised that in the patrol room, we will appoint a person, and he will be in charge of the operation, and arrange a position of Inspector Hua for us in the short term, and I think this is an opportunity!"

There are a total of four Chinese detectives in the patrol room of the public concession, Zha Yutang is the chief inspector of Hua, he disappeared this time, and his successor is one of the inspectors Hua, named Fang Jiashu.

is different from the French Concession, Inspector Hua of the French Concession has a background of being a disciple of the Green Gang, with the help of the power of the Green Gang.

The background of Inspector Hua in the Public Concession is all British and American forces, and these Chinese Inspectors have a good relationship with the British and American consulates, garrisons, or the Ministry of Industry Bureau, and they have worked up to the top step by step.

Therefore, all along, although the Shanghai Intelligence Bureau has installed competent intelligence officers in all levels and industries in the concession, but in the patrol room of the public concession, the intelligence officers of the Intelligence Bureau have not been given important positions.

But Ning Zhiheng refused: "Forget about this matter, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests, not to mention that Phillips is a businessman, anything can change in front of interests, and our people cannot be exposed to anyone's eyes." ”

Speaking of this, Ning Zhiheng paused, and asked with some curiosity: "Listening to what you just said, does he have any other way to repay us?" ”

Huo Yueze said: "He said that there is a message that can be sent to us for free!" ”

Ning Zhiheng immediately became interested and asked, "Free news?" Let's talk about it! ”
