Chapter Fifty-Six: The Big Fish Takes the Bait
"Go to Zhengnan Lake!" Lin Mucheng said that the headquarters of the Fourth Division was set up on the shore of Zhengnan Lake.
"Okay! You are seated! The rickshaw driver agreed, waited for Lin Mucheng to get in the car and sit firmly, neatly pulled up the car and left!
When they turned the corner, Ning Zhiheng, who had been observing in the dark, commanded softly: "Hou Cheng, Wen Xingsheng, the two of you each bring a rickshaw to follow, don't be too close." Leave a car waiting at the street corner. ”
After speaking, he looked at Liu Yong beside him, and Liu Yong said knowingly: "The manpower and rickshaws that have been placed in batches along the way to Zhengnan Lake have been arranged in batches, and Chen Yanqing and they are all in place!" ”
Ning Zhiheng nodded, took out a notebook and began to record in the blank space of the first page!
Tracking the target for a long time is a hard and boring thing, and Ning Zhiheng spends a lot of energy weaving an invisible net around the target Lin Mucheng, closely monitoring his every move.
But time passed day by day, a whole week passed, and nothing was found!
Ning Zhiheng pinched his fingers and calculated, this is already the fifteenth day of receiving the radio code, according to this time, this Lin Mucheng should have received the latent instruction for fifteen days.
For such a long time, it was enough for the Japanese special high school textbook to find out that Huang Xiansheng was arrested, and now that the reason for the loss of the windmill has been found. With the efficiency of the Japanese intelligence agencies, it is time to take the second approach to activate the intelligence officers and carry out the reorganization of the Shadow Group.
So how will the Japanese Special High School Textbook start Lin Mucheng now? He didn't know, he could only try his best to monitor, because Lin Mucheng was different, he was the downline developed by Huang Xiansheng himself, Huang Xiansheng didn't know the identity of other moles, but he knew Lin Mucheng's identity. Did Huang Xiansheng betray Lin Mucheng? This is also a major event that needs to be confirmed and screened by the Department of Special High School Textbooks.
He judged that someone would definitely come to screen Lin Mucheng in the near future, so he was suspicious of everyone who appeared around Lin Mucheng, so he invested so much manpower to conduct all-round surveillance.
Lin Mucheng's life is very regular, and his itinerary during the day on weekdays is home and division, and he has hardly been to other places.
In the division headquarters, Ning Zhiheng could not carry out surveillance, but he did not think that the Japanese special high school had such great energy that it could insert people into the division headquarters of the main division of the Central Army at any time to carry out personnel screening work. If they can really do this, then Ning Zhiheng will admit it!
Now he monitors Lin Mucheng's daily life as much as possible, after he leaves the unit, he usually eats at a restaurant near his home at night, and then goes to the Leyao Dance Hall for recreation on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, until he goes home at about ten o'clock in the evening, but he has not spent the night outside for a week, nor has he taken the dancer home.
On the weekend, I went back to my father Lin Zhen's house for lunch, went to the Army Officers' Club to play cards and chess in the afternoon, and still went to the Joyful Dance Hall in the evening, and I would definitely go home before ten o'clock.
When he went to the dance hall, Chen Yanqing changed into the clothes that Ning Zhiheng specially purchased for him, and entered the dance hall in a straight suit, and his eyes barely left Lin Mucheng's figure, but every time he looked for a dancer, it could be seen that they were all happy and arbitrary.
For this, Ning Zhiheng also deliberately investigated the situation of several dancers that Lin Mucheng came into contact with in the Lexiao Dance Hall, but he did not find anything unusual.
When he went to the Army Officers' Club, it was Ning Zhiheng who went out in person, and only his ID could enter among these people, but there was nothing special to discover.
The officers who played cards and chess with Lin Mucheng did not have the time to be alone with Lin Mucheng, and it was impossible to have any personal contact!
As for the servant in his family, it is an old woman in her fifties, and the investigation results are no problem, it is an old maid he brought out from his father's house, and his net worth background is very clear!
It can be said that Ning Zhiheng has done his best, but if Lin Mucheng himself has no action at all, how can he gain anything?
However, Ning Zhiheng's patience is extremely good, and he is ready to fight a protracted battle. With the criticality of Lin Mucheng's position as a confidential secretary, he will definitely be one of the most valued intelligence officers in the Japanese spy department, it is impossible to put it like this, the incubation period will definitely not be long, and the screening work may have begun, but I didn't notice it!
After another three days, that is, at noon on the eleventh day of the surveillance of Lin Mucheng, Ning Zhiheng was in a room not far from Lin Mucheng's house, carefully checking the tracking records in his hands.
This room was temporarily rented, and it also became Ning Zhiheng's temporary command post. Mainly because it is very close to Lin Mucheng's home. Ning Zhiheng lived here during this time, which was also convenient for him to monitor Lin Mucheng nearby.
The record was recorded by Ning Zhiheng himself, the content is very detailed, what Lin Mucheng is doing in each time period, who he is in contact with, and even what he says, everything is very detailed, listed one by one, as detailed as possible!
At this time, Liu Yong hurriedly walked in. Ning Zhiheng saw his face and knew that something was wrong.
"Chief Ning, I found out a new situation just now, someone is following Lin Mucheng like us!" Liu Yong had fine beads of sweat on his head, obviously rushing over to report as soon as there was news.
"What's the situation? Speak slowly! Ning Zhiheng motioned to him not to worry.
"Today is Sunday, Lin Mucheng didn't go to work, and went to his father's house early in the morning. Xiong Hongda was about to follow, but he didn't expect a stranger to suddenly appear and asked for a rickshaw, and told the coachman not to pull too fast, and follow Lin Mucheng's car far away.
He didn't know that the rickshaws near Lin Mucheng's father's house were all ours. Xiong Hongda was next to him at the time, and he heard it very clearly, so he quickly let someone notify me, and he himself took the car to follow! Liu Yong wiped the sweat on his head and said quickly.
When Ning Zhiheng heard this, his body stood up suddenly, the person who had been looking forward to it for so many days finally came, the patience of the Japanese is still really good! He waited for half a month, but a good meal was not afraid of being late, and someone finally came to the banquet at the table he arranged.
He hurriedly asked, "Where is this man now?" ”
"I've been following Lin Mucheng all the time, and now I should go around Wenchang Street and see what Lin Mucheng looks like he wants to buy." Liu Yong replied.
Wenchang Street is a famous commercial area in Jinling, and there are many various shops and storefronts on the street.
"The terrain is complex and the population is very moving, so it's easy to get lost. Let's go, I'll go with you and meet the guests we've been waiting for for so long! "With Ning Zhiheng's patience, he couldn't bear it.
Unlike Lin Mucheng, a spy who became a monk halfway, the one who can be sent by the Japanese special high school to carry out the screening task must be a seasoned agent, and he must have been trained in tracking and stalking, Ning Zhiheng He was afraid that his subordinates were inexperienced and followed too closely, which alarmed him.
This is a big fish that he finally caught with Lin Mucheng's bait, and he must not let him run away!
Ning Zhiheng quickly rushed to the vicinity of Wenchang Street with people, and saw Gong Ji'an waiting at the entrance of the street from a distance, saw Ning Zhiheng appear, and took a few steps to greet him.
"Chief Ning!"
"What about people?"
Lin Mucheng was in the tailor shop in front, and it seemed that he was going to order a dress, and this shop was specially made for suits.
The man who was watching bought a bowl of chaos on the other side, and he didn't leave yet! It seems that he is definitely staring at Lin Mucheng, yes!
Xiong Hongda has been hanging behind, there are too many people here, and the rickshaw is a little conspicuous, so I let them all disperse for the time being.
There are six rickshaws on standby near the street entrance, what do you think now? "Gong Ji'an is also a veteran in handling cases, and this kind of thing is also arranged in a very orderly manner.
"Inform me, from now on, give up tracking Lin Mucheng, if you follow Lin Mucheng again, it will be easy to be discovered by this person, and the bird will fly away once it is frightened.
Concentrate all your energy on this new guest, this is the big fish we are looking for! Ning Zhiheng did not hesitate, since the main lord appeared, Lin Mucheng had no value.
Lin Mucheng was just a member of the Shadow Group, and Ning Zhiheng's goal from the beginning was not on him, his purpose was the entire Shadow Group.
This guest is supposed to be in charge of screening and restarting the entire Shadow Team. I don't know if he had any contact with other group members before that.
But because of Huang Xiansheng, Lin Mucheng's screening work must be the strictest. Ning Zhiheng simply decided to give up Lin Mucheng directly, and there could be no luck.
Ning Zhiheng motioned for everyone to disperse, and he slowly approached himself. Sure enough, on the opposite side of a tailor's shop, I saw a chaos stall, and there were three customers eating chaos in front of the stall.
One of the tables was a man and a woman, and they chatted very affectionately while eating, and it was obvious that they were a couple. And the other one is the guest that Liu Yong said in his mouth.
Ning Zhiheng's eyesight is excellent, far away, and he observes carefully. This person has an ordinary appearance, a ruddy complexion, a green shirt and long coat, black cloth shoes, a man in his thirties, and there is no outstanding place in the crowd. If Ning Zhiheng hadn't known his identity in advance, he would really not have seen the problem at a glance.
He chose a good position, in the innermost position, with his back to the wall, so that he could clearly see the door of the tailor's shop opposite, and the flow of people coming and going on the street, with a wide field of vision. But others seldom noticed him at the base of the wall.
There was a bowl of chaos in front of him, but he ate it slowly. Occasionally, he casually raised his head and his eyes gently swept over the tailor's shop.
Ning Zhiheng quietly waved his hand to let Xiong Hongda, who was not far away, stay farther away, and he was also at the used bookstall next to him, picking up an old book at random and looking at it.
