"Yes, it makes sense logically, but Comrade Wumu, your logic is missing a key link," Zhao Manxiong shook his head and said, "Who on earth told them that the Taoist Priest has the 'Born Talisman'? We all are Clearly, Taoist Master Fu has no such thing. [Read the latest chapter]"
"Since it's a folk sect, isn't it normal to make up some weird powers and pretend to be gods and ghosts?"
"That's for their believers, and the high-level officials themselves know it very well. They made this thing up to coax the believers, and it's perfectly fine to justify their own incompetence and failure. How could they have deceived themselves into lameness? They really have to send people to destroy this fictitious thing. s things?"
"You mean, these people are just pawns, and the real mastermind has not shown up?" Wu Mu has worked in the Political Security Bureau for several years, and he still has this contact ability.
"This is a possibility." Zhao Manxiong nodded, "However, I prefer that someone disclosed Zhang Yingchen's so-called 'Achilles' heel' to the Nanwuliang Sect for some purpose. Temptation has been suppressed by the new Taoism. He was so angry that Nan Buliangjiao made all the stops."
"What's the point of doing this? Is it just going to cause us some trouble?"
"Comrade Wumu, your suspicion is very reasonable. If someone can persuade the senior officials of Nanwuliang Sect to send someone to Lingao to die, this person is definitely not an unknown person. He must have sufficient authority and wealth in the social level of the Ming Dynasty. . Since he can use such a large amount of resources, why does he want to engage in conspiracy and engage in things that are insignificant to us?"
Yun Jiguan has only completed the first phase now, and it is not considered "towering and majestic". Even if it is burned to the ground, it will not do any harm to Lingao. It's nothing more than a waste of construction materials and man-hours. Only sects such as the Nanwuliang Sect would be resentful of Yun Jiguan's "magical power".
Yes, Wu Mu thought to himself, there are too many targets worth destroying in Lingao. Even setting a fire in Dongmen City would have a much greater effect than burning down the remote Yunji Temple.
He recalled the entire umbrella project and said tentatively: "They are smoke bombs."
Zhao Manxiong nodded and pressed the cigar butt into the blue and white porcelain pen washer: "It's very possible. Do you still remember the battle where pirates attacked Bopu at night after D-Day?"
"Of course I remember." Wu Mu nodded, "Are you saying that the real mastermind behind the scenes hasn't shown up yet, and that the Nanwuliang Sect is just a smoke bomb used to paralyze us?"
"Yes. This is very likely. And what we have to face is probably a heavyweight from the Ming Dynasty system."
"The Ming Dynasty?"
Zhao Manxiong smiled and said: "Comrade Wumu. As a political power, the current Ming Dynasty is no longer qualified even for medieval society. So I think it can't be them."
Wu Mu still couldn't get around it: "You mean..."
"Let's put it this way, it's some people in the Ming court - of course people who have a lot of power and resources. Do you understand?"
"You mean 'public power for private use'?"
"You have to use your words incisively and accurately." Zhao Manxiong nodded.
"But what good will it do him to deal with the Senate?" Wu Mu still couldn't figure it out. The Senate was now a behemoth who couldn't hide his size and teeth. This is no better than when Emperor Tian personally plotted to seize Ziming Tower - no one in the Senate has truly seen the strength. To say that there are still people who want to take advantage of the Senate is like pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth.
"We don't know this." Zhao Manxiong shook his head and said, "First we need to know who they are. I estimate that the enemy should have a number of spies lurking in Lingao, not only among the indigenous people, but also naturalized people and even returnees from powerful organizations. I’m afraid there are also some among the Huimin team.”
It was an understatement to say this, but Wu Mu still couldn't believe the conclusion that the enemy might be lurking in the powerful department.
...The powerful organs of the Senate are built with reference to the structure and system of the most successful powerful institutions in the 20th century. Although there are strong traces of patchwork and copycats, and the quality of the personnel is somewhat different, they can be called super in this time and space. existence of the times.
It is still possible to say that enemies can lurk among the indigenous people or ordinary naturalized people. After all, the Political Security Bureau cannot be foolproof, but to say that there are "enemies" in a powerful institution with strict admissions and monitoring, noon I couldn't help but feel that Deputy Director Zhao was a little too imaginative.
"You think it's impossible?" Zhao Manxiong seemed to realize what he was thinking and asked.
"To be honest, it's unbelievable."
"You are very honest." Zhao Manxiong nodded, "In a sense, you are right. But we have to consider that people can learn - what they lag behind us is the lack of systems and accumulation of knowledge, and It’s not IQ. Furthermore, many of our institutional advantages cannot be implemented.”
Wu Mu admits this. Even if the Political Security Bureau is picky about its personnel and invests a lot of energy in training, the level of its staff is just that. Many people are working beyond their capabilities. If there were no veteran cadres who would personally carry out quality control, God knows how many troubles would be caused.
"so……"
"Have you read the Umbrella Project file carefully?"
"Looked at it."
"The people of the Nanwuliang Sect, from entering Lingao to lurking, followed every step of the way, and chose their identities well. Some had their heads shaved to be naturalized, and some were regarded as indigenous people... There is no shortage of various documents - even if these things are done Few people among the people can fully understand it. Without the guidance of people from powerful institutions, they will never be able to achieve this step." Zhao Manxiong showed some worry, "There must be spies in powerful institutions."
"I understand, arresting people is not the main thing, the key is to dig out the spies."
"That's right. The mastermind behind the scenes, the ultimate boss, are meaningless to us. Even if he is Chongzhen, Huang Taiji, or some shogun, governor, etc., to the Senate, he is just a chicken and a dog, and will be destroyed. It's just a matter of time. But the spies lurking within us..."
"Okay, I will immediately find Comrade Zhou Botao and inform him to continue the umbrella project."
"No, just let him end the Umbrella Project. Let's call the next thing the 'Sun Umbrella' Project" - let him select a few capable investigators and handle it secretly. "
Zhou Botao, director of the Investigation Division of the Political Security Bureau, sat on a chair, carefully considering the spirit of Deputy Director Zhao regarding the establishment of a "Sun Umbrella Task Force" that Wu Mu had conveyed to him half an hour ago.
It is not difficult to understand what Deputy Director Zhao means. But it's a bit difficult to dig out spies within powerful institutions. Because in Lingao, the Political Security Bureau is not the only powerful organization.
In addition to some agencies with just one brand, there are only three and a half main powerful agencies of the Senate: the National Police, the Political Security Bureau, the Cheka, and the Lingao Security Command, which is actually the battalion headquarters of the Lingao Security Battalion. .
The Cheka doesn't say that their main business is anti-corruption. Currently they only have headquarters offices and not many staff. Although the Cheka has law enforcement powers, it is actually a mixture of the Independent Commission Against Corruption and the Audit Office. The department is highly professional and the staff spend most of their time doing office work. Zhou Botao believed that the spies were unlikely to be in this department.
In Zhou Botao's view, the possibility of a mole inside the Political Security Bureau is extremely small. The Political Security Bureau has strict internal control measures and a complete system. Zhou Botao believes that it is unlikely that the natives of this time and space have this ability.
The largest and most important powerful agency under the Senate is the National Police. They have agencies throughout Hainan Island with many personnel. Even though the Political Security Bureau seems to have more "deterrence" and is almost pervasive, outside Lingao, the expatriates of the Political Security Bureau must completely rely on the national police to carry out their work. Even in Lingao, many activities require support from the national police.
...However, precisely because it has a large structure, a large number of personnel, and the standards for entry are not strict - the Senate's police system has expanded rapidly in recent years, and it is not difficult to sneak into this organization and wait for a while.
When it comes to which powerful department is most likely to have spies lurking in it, the National Police is the most likely. Zhou Botao thought. What's more, suspicious elements within the national police have been discovered in the routine internal control report of "controlling personnel" in the previous stage.
The Problem The relationship between the Political Security Service and the National Police is somewhat delicate. Although the two sides have cooperated happily so far, a targeted investigation of "spies" may cause a backlash from the top brass of the National Police - many seniors already believe that the Political Security Bureau's hand is stretched too far.
Although the investigation was instructed to be carried out secretly, the understanding of the top brass of the National Police must first be obtained. In other words, there must be solid evidence that there is a spy within them.
Zhou Botao picked up Li Yongxun's case file that was placed on the table. Indeed, Li Yongxun had problems, but the mere existence of problems did not prove her guilt.
Li Yongxun was found to be in trouble because a security activist reported to the police station that some strange symbols appeared on the walls of a certain street in Dongmen City.
Originally, the police station thought it was just a few thieves who wanted to make a fortune in Lingao - they often used symbols to convey information. So a police officer who was familiar with Jianghu Chundian was sent to investigate.
However, when the police officer responsible for the investigation went there, he found that he did not recognize these symbols. After transcribing them, all the policemen from the Public Security Department who had experience in the public security department and were familiar with various spring rituals were called in to identify them. Several people from the labor camp were even mentioned. An old thief came to identify it, but found nothing.
So the clue was transferred to the Political Security Bureau. After the Political Security Bureau sent people to secretly investigate, they found that the code had been updated. They determined that someone was using the code to communicate here, so a surveillance post was set up on the second floor of the shop opposite to secretly monitor this location. r1152
