Ning Zhiheng and He Siming explained clearly, so he asked He Siming to leave first. He sat in the office reading. After half an hour, he got up and left.

A convoy was marching on the street. There were many pedestrians on the street. Most of them were wearing new clothes and carrying a wide range of items in their hands. There were even children on the street lighting up scattered firecrackers. Seeing such a festive scene, Ning Zhiheng suddenly realized that there were three days left to be the Spring Festival of the Lunar New Year.

Since he rushed back to Shanghai from Chongqing, he has completed several major tasks one after another and went to Qingdao to participate in the meeting. It has been a constant process and has forgotten that it will soon be the most important festival of the year for the Chinese.

Ning Zhiheng thought about it secretly and was going to go back to the concession these days to take a look.

On New Year's Eve every year, Ning Zhiheng spent it with Zuo Rou and his main cadres every year, so this year is naturally no exception. Moreover, the three-party secret agreement film in his hand also needs to be sent back to the Chongqing headquarters.

Because the Japanese celebrate the Spring Festival according to the Gregorian calendar, they believe that New Year's Day is the beginning of the year, that is, the Spring Festival, and they don't care about the Chinese Lunar New Year, and there are no celebrations for the Japanese expatriates, so no one will pay attention to Ning Zhiheng's departure.

Back at Fujiwara Club, Ning Zhiheng came to the office, and simply handled the matters on his hands. Then he called Hirao Daichi in and asked about the transfer of Si Guangyuan.

"President, as you told me, Si Guangyuan has transferred the property rights of Shenghua Department Store and a high-end apartment near Beidang Road to us, but the four calligraphy and paintings will have to wait for a few days. The owner of the store is a little stubborn, and Si Guangyuan asked us to give us a grace for two days."

After Si Guangyuan picked up Wan Mulin that night, he handed over the property rights with Fujiwara General Manager Daito Hiroshi, as fast as possible the next day.

But unexpectedly, when I went to Boguzhai to buy some other ancient stickers, something happened. The shop owner was really reluctant to take action, and as a result, he almost caused a storm.

Ning Zhiheng heard this and smiled slightly. It would be better to make some noise in this matter, so that everyone can know the transaction between the Qing Gang and himself.

Ning Zhiheng asked, "Don't worry about this matter. By the way, how are the arrangements in Nanjing?"

"It has been arranged and the expansion of the Nanjing branch has been completed. As for your residence in Nanjing, you can move in at any time."

Ning Zhiheng had already arranged for Hirao Dazhi to prepare for entering Nanjing, Hirao Dazhi naturally did not dare to neglect it, and it took several months to finally complete it.

Ning Zhiheng nodded with satisfaction and ordered: "Nanjing is not the same now as before. It has once again become the central hub of central China. Our company should pay attention to it. During this period, it will be mobilized to replenish the power of the Nanjing branch. I guess I will be in Nanjing for a few more months or two.

Hirao Daichi bowed and took the order: "Please rest assured, I will arrange everything in advance."

Ning Zhiheng gave a few more brief explanations and waved his hand to let him retreat.

At this time, Yi Huaan entered the office and whispered: "Muyu reported that yesterday morning, Li Zhiqun returned to the secret service headquarters."

When Ning Zhiheng heard this, he immediately raised his spirits. Li Zhiqun disappeared for the past few days and finally showed up. He asked: "Li Zhiqun is back. Have you figured out his whereabouts before?"

"No, this time Li Zhiqun left, he only had a few close friends around him. Without other insiders, Mu Yu could not determine his previous whereabouts for the time being."

"Have anyone arrested and returned?"

"No, there are only a few of them."

Ning Zhiheng pondered for a moment and ordered: "Li Zhiqun's whereabouts these days are mysterious. I always feel that it is likely to have something to do with us. Please let Muyu keep more snacks and don't let Li Zhiqun take advantage of our loopholes!"

"Yes!" Yi Huaan nodded and agreed.

"Mu Yu also said that Li Zhiqun returned to the agents headquarters in the morning and went to the Operations Second Brigade stationed in Kangjiaqiao in the afternoon and began to investigate some of the situations related to Xu Yongchang. It seems that he has indeed found the real cause of the plane crash."

As expected, these situations are the same as Ning Zhiheng's previous judgment, and these opponents' movements are so fast.

Yi Huaan took out another envelope from his pocket and handed it to Ning Zhiheng, "This is the item he handed over to you."

Ning Zhiheng took the envelope, opened the seal and poured it down. Half of the brand new fiat currency fell into his hand. His eyes sank, he held half of the banknote in front of him and looked carefully. It took him a long time to take back the envelope.

Yi Dongan knew the origin of this half of the banknote and couldn't help asking in confusion: "Xu Yongchang has already sacrificed, and this half of the banknote has no effect. You are..."

Ning Zhiheng shook his head and said, "We made some mistakes in our previous judgment. The Yingzuo agency released the suspicious persons seized a few days ago, and deliberately concealed and blocked the final search results. In other words, they had known the cause of the crash for a long time, which is very abnormal.

I think Yongchang's life and death need to be verified. At least, he left some clues for the Japanese, otherwise Li Zhiqun would not come to investigate him. We may have some use in this half of the fiat currency."

"You mean Xu Yongchang may still be alive?" Yi Huaan asked in surprise.

"This is just my guess. The possibility is very small. In fact, I am most afraid that Fu Shengyuan and Wang Hanmin are still alive, so there will be more troubles after that."

Ning Zhiheng explained some of his previous inferences and judgments to Yi Huaan, that you should know that Yi Huaan is the main cadre of the Shanghai Intelligence Department, specializing in the work in the city and one of Ning Zhiheng's main assistants. Some things must be made clear to avoid errors in subsequent work due to poor information.

On the next day, Ning Zhiheng took Zuo Gang into the public concession and returned to Tan Mansion, headquartered in the Shanghai Intelligence Department.

After Ning Zhiheng returned to Tan Mansion, he summoned Huo Yueze and handed him the film of the three parties' secret agreement, and told him to arrange for him to send him back to Chongqing after the Spring Festival.

The reason for doing this is because this agreement is not timely. Ning Zhiheng was in Qingdao before because the information was too timely, which led to the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Bureau reacting too quickly, almost exposing Ning Zhiheng. Fortunately, his identity and background are deep, so he luckily escaped this crisis.

However, the intelligence work behind enemy lines is full of dangers, and not always so lucky. Ning Zhiheng learned from his mistakes and decided to report intelligence to the headquarters in the future, such unurgent intelligence would have to be deliberately delayed for a period of time.

For example, this time, he could say that the three-party secret agreement was collected by him from the intelligence market and purchased it with a lot of money. In this way, the headquarters would not be more suspicious of himself and save some unnecessary trouble.

In the next two days, Ning Zhiheng completely relaxed his nervous spirit and stayed in Tan Mansion every day to read and write quietly.

Zuo Rou was also happy to see Ning Zhiheng staying in Tan Mansion. She greeted everyone, ran around and hung lanterns and hanging colorful lanterns, and arranged the Tan Mansion in a new way, inside and out, up and down, full of festive atmosphere.

Finally, it was New Year's Eve. Zuo Rou had superb cooking skills and made a table of good dishes by herself. Several senior cadres from the intelligence department gathered together lively.

Ning Zhiheng sat upright among them, first raised his glass to express his greetings, everyone laughed and drank happily.

The sound of firecrackers outside was heard in an endless stream. Several guards also set up a large number of fireworks in the yard and lit the fireworks. The fireworks rose into the air. Only a "boom" sound was heard. The exploded fireworks seemed to be beautiful flowers blooming in the air, dazzling and extremely wonderful!

For a moment, everyone was in high spirits and went forward to set off fireworks. Even Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but participate.

Accompanied by the crisp explosions, the sky was bright and dazzling, with silver flowers and fireworks colorful, competing for beauty, decorating the festive night sky into a beautiful garden.

Ning Zhiheng looked at the people around him smiling happily, laughter and joyful, as if he was in a dream.

Time flies, this is the third Spring Festival he has spent in Shanghai. Every festival is full of miss his family. At this moment, my relatives who are far away in Chongqing are also missing him earnestly!

Happy times always pass quickly. Ning Zhiheng spent a happy Spring Festival in Tan Mansion and quietly returned to the city a few days later.

In the past few days, He Siming quickly investigated the search and rescue situation when the plane crashed through his friend of the military officer's office.

Although the North China Special High School and the Kageo Agency blocked the news, they were unable to restrain the navy due to various reasons. In addition, there were many people involved in the search and rescue at that time, so they did not spend much effort. The Grandpa Yamamoto figured out the specific situation.

"According to Yamamoto, a survivor was indeed found at that time. This person was the passenger plane pilot Kawamoto. At the same time, the bodies of seven passengers were found, and the other passengers were missing."

"There is only one survivor? Japanese pilot?" Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard this. It was not surprising that a pilot escaped. What's strange is how could this pilot know that Xu Yongchang was the executor of the plane crash?

He Siming continued: "The Navy investigators asked Kawamoto about the specific situation. He just said that when the accident happened, there were many shootings in the cabin, causing the death of several passengers. The situation was very chaotic at the time. At the same time, the plane caught fire, so the passengers jumped into the sea one after another, and finally he abandoned the plane and parachuted to escape."

How could there be a gun? Could it be that Xu Yongchang also assassinated Wang Hanmin and Fu Shengyuan with guns on the plane?

Ning Zhiheng didn't know that, and couldn't help but rub his temples with his hands. While thinking, he asked, "Can you confirm the identities of the seven corpses?"

He Siming shook his head and said, "No, Kawamoto was just ordered to carry out the flight mission. As for which department these people belong to, he didn't know. Later, the Navy handed over Kawamoto and the seven bodies to the North China Special High School."

Ning Zhiheng thought carefully. Since the pilot was not clear about the specific situation, how did the Japanese know that Xu Yongchang was the executor? The problem must be on the seven corpses. If it was not bad, one of the seven corpses must be Xu Yongchang's body!

Yes! That must be true!

The more Ning Zhiheng thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was correct. Since the shooting occurred, perhaps Xu Yongchang's body left clues and evidence for the Japanese, so the Yingzuo agency determined that Xu Yongchang was the executor of the incident.

What clues can a corpse leave for the Japanese? Contact the shooting mentioned by the pilot before, it should be the gunshot wounds left by Xu Yongchang during the melee, and...

That's right, Xu Yongchang always carried the half of the banknotes used to connect. It seems that the half of the banknotes also fell into the hands of the Yingzuo Agency, and this token cannot be hidden from the Japanese.

Everything happened. According to the narrative of the pilot Kawamoto, the Kagezo organ found Xu Yongchang's body, checked his gunshot wounds, and found the half of the banknote, thus confirming that Xu Yongchang was the executor of the plane crash. Then he ordered the release of the suspects. As soon as Li Zhiqun returned to Shanghai, he investigated Xu Yongchang's situation, which further explained everything.
Chapter completed!
