In a safe house in the concession, Zuo Qiang reported to Ning Zhiheng and Huo Yuezehui: "We took action near his home, and a driver and a bodyguard were also caught together. The vehicle had been sent to the French concession to hide. The action went smoothly and no one was alarmed."

Ning Zhiheng nodded and ordered Huo Yueze: "You are responsible for the interrogation. You must confirm how much he knows? How many people have participated in this matter? In short, no situation about us can be leaked!"

"Yes!" Huo Yueze nodded and agreed, turning around and leaving.

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

"Cha Yutang all told me that he was persuaded by Li Zhiqun in mid-February and agreed to monitor Phillips for him and find out our traces. A total of seven people were sent to follow him all the way. These people were his confidants. This is the list!"

A list was submitted to Ning Zhiheng, and then reported: "During the stalking, these people did take pictures of some people who were often in contact with Phillips. Cha Yutang conducted some investigations and finally found a few suspicious people, including ours."

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

Shanghai Intelligence Department, Huo Yueze and Ji Hongyi are specialized in 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 I had something to do. Cha Yutang found Hongyi in several photos. Hongyi is a well-known leader in the Subei Gang Hall. Many people know him, so Cha Yutang didn't have much effort to find Hongyi. However, he only knew that Hongyi was an intelligence dealer in trading intelligence, but he could not confirm Hongyi's true identity, but was listed as the most suspicious target."

When Huo Yueze said this, he couldn't help but feel a little scared. Ji Hongyi is a core member of the Shanghai Intelligence Department and knows no less about the work of the Intelligence Department than himself. Once exposed to the Japanese and Li Zhiqun, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Ning Zhiheng said in a faint tone: "I didn't expect that we had lurked in Shanghai for so long and thought we would run it like a rock, but it made people take advantage of the loopholes. Humph, a little Feng Sinian, who was circling around, involved Hongyi, so I often say that details determine success or failure, and nothing can be lucky! If I hadn't been watching this person all the time, Mu Yu's information would have been timely, this time you would have made a big mistake."

Ning Zhiheng started whispering, and then the volume became higher and higher, with obvious dissatisfaction.

Huo Yueze quickly lowered his head and said, "It's true that I was careless. Please rest assured. I promise that there will never happen again in the future."

"I didn't just talk about you, so did Ji Hongyi. He didn't know if he was followed and photographed!"

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

"Just in the drawer of his study, he identified more than Hongyi, but also some photos and investigation information. This is his key, so I will send someone to retrieve it."

"As soon as possible!" Ning Zhiheng nodded and handed over the list just now to Huo Yueze. "Put it out overnight. Anyone involved in this matter cannot leave a living."

"Yes!" Huo Yueze took the list and went out to arrange personnel to perform tasks.

The next day, the news that the General Secretary of the Public Concession, Cha Yutang, disappeared quickly spread throughout the concession. At the same time, several of his confidants and subordinates all went away without a trace overnight. Needless to say, they all knew that this was a murder.

As the Chinese leader of the public concession, Cha Yutang had such a big thing, and there was a lot of discussion in the concession, which became a hot topic for people to discuss on the streets.

However, what is surprising is that the senior officials of the constituent, especially the consulate, did not pursue the matter too much, but made a simple notice. Even before he could figure out whether Cha Yutang was confirmed to be killed, he immediately appointed another Inspector Hua to take over Cha Yutang's position and quickly took over the full work of the police station.

He even informed the major newspapers and magazines in the public concession to deal with this matter with a cold attitude and could not report it. With this operation method, people with a heart will naturally be as clear as a mirror. Cha Yutang's disappearance or murder is probably exactly what these senior officials expected, and even their figures were among them. I don't know who Cha Yutang offended and ended up like this.

In Tan Mansion's study, Ning Zhiheng carefully checked the photos in his hand. Some scattered investigation materials were placed on the table, which Huo Yueze retrieved from Cha Yutang's home.

In the photo in front of you, Ji Hongyi and Phillips stood beside a car and whispered. The background behind him was an elegantly shaped Western-style villa.

The same is true for some other photos, with the same background, but the personnel in the photos have been replaced, and several of them are the big intelligence dealers in the intelligence market. Although the distance is a bit far, their faces are clearly visible.

Ning Zhiheng soon recognized that this Western-style villa was the villa of British intelligence businessman Anderson. It seemed that the party was held at his home. Although it was hidden, it was not prohibited from entering like the consulate or senior club. Therefore, the followers seized the opportunity. When the party parted, several participants were secretly taken photos.

The materials also show that Cha Yutang investigated all these people later, and there is no need to mention British intelligence businessman Anderson, whose name is the first of the suspicious people, because the party was held at his home.

Secondly, German intelligence dealer Lucas and French Legov

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

It should be noted that there are several Chinese faces, and the one that attracts the most attention is naturally Ji Hongyi. Moreover, the investigation data on Ji Hongyi is quite complete. The dual identities of the leader of the Northern Su Gang and the intelligence dealer have been confirmed. Fortunately, this information finally fell into Ning Zhiheng's hands, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable!

The marks behind the other Chinese are all empty, which means that Cha Yutang has not found the origin and background of these people.

Ning Zhiheng usually doesn't ask about the situation in the intelligence market. Huo Yueze and Ji Hongyi are responsible. He doesn't know the background of these people. He can't help but be curious, so he sent someone to call Huo Yueze here.

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

He knocked in and said to Ning Zhiheng: "Saturday, come to me!"

"Um!"

Ning Zhiheng heard the sound and put down the material in his hand, leaned against the seat, looked at Huo Yueze and asked, "How is the situation outside?"

"It's okay. Phillips has already done his job and everything is handled in a low-key manner. The consulate has sent someone to take over Cha Yutang's position. I don't think it will take a few days to go on this matter and it will pass soon."

Ning Zhiheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This anti-traitor operation should not be high-profile. If the news of Yutang's disappearance spread too widely, it is very likely that Li Zhiqun, who is in Nanjing, would be alarmed. At this time, he did not want Li Zhiqun to return to Shanghai to investigate the matter. After all, the real source of the information was Feng Sinian, who was detained on No. 76. In this way, if Li Zhiqun was alert enough, he might suspect that the internal leak of No. 76 was leaked. He should do a good job of finishing the matter and try to protect Muyu's safety.

He nodded and said, "Okay, this matter has come to an end for the time being. Come and see, who are these people?"

Huo Yueze took a few steps forward, looked at Ning Zhiheng pointing at several Chinese faces in the photo, and said one by one: "This middle-aged bearded man is an intelligence dealer from Tianjin. We all call him Lao Hong. He provides a lot of information from the north and has a lot of resources in his hands.

This woman is named Yong Feng. Her intelligence is mostly from South China, she speaks Cantonese and speaks very fluent in English. She often misses parties. We think she does not live in Shanghai."

Huo Yueze is naturally very familiar with these business partners and soon introduced it.

Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but feel refreshed and said with a smile: "It's really the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, all kinds of people are all there. If Cha Yutang's materials fall into Li Zhiqun's hands, it will inevitably cause a storm. Maybe it will be a heavy blow to the Shanghai intelligence market. Phillips will owe us a favor this time!"

Huo Yueze also replied with a smile: "Philly understands people. This time we reminded him and took action to solve this matter. He said he was willing to repay us as a favor."

"What did he say?"

"First of all, he promised that we would designate a candidate in the police station, and he would be responsible for the operation. In the short term, a position of Inspector Hua was arranged for us. I think this is an opportunity!"

There are a total of four Chinese detectives in the police station of the public concession. Cha Yutang is the Chief Inspector Hua. This time he disappeared, his successor is one of the Inspector Hua, named Fang Jiashu.

Unlike the French Concession, Inspector Hua from the French Concession has all backgrounds with disciples of the Qing Gang, and he uses the power of the Qing Gang.

The Chinese Inspector in the public concession has a background of all forces between Britain and the United States. These Chinese Inspectors have good relations with the British and American consulates, garrisons, or the Ministry of Industry, and have been qualified to take up the post step by step.

Therefore, although the Shanghai Intelligence Department has installed effective intelligence officers in all walks of life and industry in the concession, the intelligence officers of the Intelligence Department have never obtained important positions in the police station in the public concession. This time, the reward proposed by Phillips made Huo Yueze feel a little moved.

But Ning Zhiheng refused: "Forget this matter, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. Moreover, Phillips is a businessman. Everything in front of interests may change. Our people cannot be exposed to anyone's sight."

Speaking of this, Ning Zhiheng paused for a moment and asked curiously: "Since you said just now, does he have any other way to repay us?"

Huo Yueze said: "He said there is a news that can be given to us for free!"

Ning Zhiheng became interested when he was free and asked, "Free news? Tell me!"
