Yang Cao put down the thin folder and lit his fortieth cigarette since going to work yesterday, with green smoke curling up. Since Zhou Shizhai had already gone to see him, she didn't need to doubt the former bodyguard's experience. Yang Cao knew that the General Affairs Section 10 of the National Police where Zhou Shizhai worked had collected a group of so-called "martial arts scum", most of whom were Jianghu people who could not survive in the Ming Dynasty for various reasons. Lingao became their last refuge. certainly. The Senate does not welcome everyone with open arms. Once these people arrive in Lingao, they will be secretly arrested and interrogated because of their special behavior and words and deeds. Some people were secretly executed, a very small number were listed as "special purposes", and the remaining people formed the Detective Team of Section 10 of General Affairs. He walks around the streets and markets in plain clothes every day, and sometimes is responsible for performing some special tasks.
With Zhou Shizhai's long-term leadership of the "Detective Team", he would never make a mistake. In the last Umbrella Project, it was first confirmed that the people from the Nanwuliang Cult who infiltrated were also members of the detective team.
In just one or two months, two groups of martial arts figures sneaked into Lingao. Yang Cao seemed to realize something. She dug out the briefing on the umbrella project from the file cabinet.
Yang Cao carefully studied the two materials. Although he could not judge whether there was a connection between the two, it was obvious that the purpose of a large number of martial arts figures entering Lingao must be "political" rather than simply "killing people and stealing goods." Such a criminal offense. Zhou Shizhai once said when handling the umbrella project that if a crime is committed on such a scale, the organizers will lose money.
Since the first group of people sent were from the Nanwuliang Sect, are these people also from the Nanwuliang Sect? Yang Cao fell into deep thought.
From the case report, it cannot be seen that the Nanwuliang Sect has made such an arrangement: all the confessions indicate that there is no plan to send follow-up troops. Yang Cao fully trusted his colleagues in the National Police Interrogation Division as to whether they had confessed honestly.
Since it has nothing to do with the Nanwuliang Sect, what are the intentions of the "Zhuo Family" in coming to this area? Yang Cao vaguely felt that there must be a big case behind this.
Simply arresting them all is obviously not in line with the political security bureau's consistent reconnaissance philosophy. Director Zhao once said in a training class: The soil where the sprouts of rebellion sprout must be filled with the roots of traitors. Simply eradicating the sprouts is not enough, you must completely eradicate all the underground roots.
If relevant clues can be found this time, they can follow the clues and catch all the hidden dangers that they are not yet aware of. Looking at a few thin pieces of information in the file. Yang Cao decided to talk to the people from the "Detective Team" first... maybe there would be some new discoveries, so she wrote a business phone contact sheet and requested an appointment with Zhou Shizhai from the 10th General Affairs Section. Sent out.
The Political Security Service and the National Police are both partners and competitors. Although the National Police made several attempts to convince the Senate, it was modeled after the public security system of the old time and space. Integrate the Political Security Bureau into the national police sequence and make it an integral part of the national police to avoid the formation of a secret service agency that is too big to lose. However, Zhao Manxiong and Wu Mu also successfully reminded the elders: In a powerful organization with severely expanded functions and all-encompassing powers, which elder is suitable to serve as the leader of the national police?
So the matter dropped. But in response, the national police launched "counterpart cooperation" in the name of "counterpart cooperation." In the name of the General Affairs Class The purpose of maintaining this group of troops is more to meet the needs of the future mainland strategy.
The office of General Affairs Section 10 is not in the headquarters building of the National Police, but in a converted old temple courtyard on the outskirts of Dongmen City. There are no signs or signs hanging at the door. The streets here are deserted, with only scattered houses on both sides of the streets. Not only are there large areas of farmland, but some areas are also forest farms. It is a typical urban-rural fringe area.
Since the main target group of the detective team is the indigenous people, they not only remain in plain clothes, but also their attire has not changed. They are still dressed in the Ming Dynasty.
The same is true for Zhou Shizhai. It's just that his shrewd and capable aura cannot be concealed, and he always considers himself an escort. So he is still wearing the "prestigious" attire of the escort.
He had already prepared information for Yang Cao's visit. After the ceremony between the two parties was completed, Zhou Shizhai took out a document from the prepared document box.
"Are there any materials?" Yang Cao was a little surprised.
"After receiving your appointment notice, I will ask someone to go to Qiong'an Inn to investigate." Zhou Shizhai said, "I will roughly understand their origin."
"I'm all ears."
"I have written all the details in the document. Generally speaking, they are indeed from the martial arts world. They are not the young master and wife of a wealthy family."
"How can you see it?" Yang Cao asked. It wasn't that she couldn't trust Zhou Shizhai. The joints involved were very big. Once the judgment was wrong, it would mean a huge waste of resources.
Both the Political Security Bureau and the National Police have limited human and material resources.
"I worked as a nursing home guard for a wealthy family. Many of my men often visit wealthy families." Zhou Shizhai was a little embarrassed when he said this. It is conceivable that his men were quite a few thieves. "Rich families have many rules and behaviors, which cannot be learned in a short period of time..."
"I understand." Yang Cao nodded, "Then what are their methods?"
"According to our opinion, they should come from various sects in the martial arts world, not the gangsters who go out of the way, nor the strong bandits who dominate the mountains." Zhou Shizhai said, "For us escorts, they are all from famous families. upright."
"Since you are from a well-known and upright family, why did you sneak into Lingao secretly?"
Based on Yang Cao's experience as an entertainer in the past, this kind of well-known and upright sect can be regarded as a powerful and disciplined person. Most of them can restrain their disciples. As long as they don't cause trouble in their territory and are polite, they are easy to get along with.
Because their families are big and their businesses are big, these sects are generally cautious in their dealings and do not easily get involved in big conflicts to avoid causing trouble.
"It's hard to say." Zhou Shizhai said, "However, they must have been entrusted by others to come here to plot something big. This person has a lot of background."
"You mean, there are high-ranking officials in the Ming Dynasty who are instigating this?"
"That's right." Zhou Shizhai nodded, "These sects are all somewhat conceited. Most people can't instruct them unless they are at the top of the imperial court."
"So, they and those caught in the Umbrella Project..."
"The Nanwuliang Sect does not have such a big reputation and financial resources, not to mention that they, the folk sects, have always been looked down upon by the martial arts sects."
Yang Cao returned to the office with Zhou Shizhai's "gift". She studied the material carefully, which detailed the detective team's observations and speculations about each member of the "Zhuo family": what sect they were from, what weapons they used, and how powerful they were.
Now the problem before Yang Cao has returned to its original point. If the arrests are made now, their purpose in coming to Gao will soon be clear: they will tell everything once they enter the interrogation room. If you want to put a long line, catch big fish, and dig out all their local "root systems", you have to continue to monitor them silently. But if the situation is not under control and some unexpected evil event occurs, she will immediately fall into an irreversible situation!
Yang Cao lit the forty-fifth cigarette. Before the cigarette was half burned, she put out the cigarette butt. After ringing the bell, the trainee assistant coordinator outside pushed the door in:
"Comrade first-level commander!" He stood at attention seriously and nodded.
"You take this material and prepare a document - I don't need to teach you how to draft a document - and ask the surveillance office to send a team of people to monitor everyone here and report to me every four hours. "
"Yes, comrade first-level commander..."
After this order is issued, the surveillance systems of the Political Security Bureau and the National Police will begin to establish surveillance files for the monitored objects one by one. They will take photos of each subject under surveillance, track their whereabouts 24 hours a day, and if possible, eavesdrop on all his conversations.
The most powerful "artifact" of the leaders - eavesdropping equipment, was not installed in Qiong'an Inn. These things are both rare and have longevity issues. Unless you decide in advance that you want to eavesdrop on a certain object, they will not be installed everywhere.
Of course, as long as Yang Cao writes the application, it is not impossible to temporarily install some temporary facilities in the inn house where the "Zhuo family" lives, but Yang Cao feels that it is not necessary.
"Keep an eye on where they go, and you'll be able to follow the clues." She thought, "As long as they act, they will reveal their flaws."
Now she could only wait for the surveillance personnel to bring her the first news. Logically speaking, she could go back from get off work first, take a shower in the public bathroom, then go back to the dormitory to sleep, and come back to hear the news in the evening. However, her spirits were already high and her stomach began to growl. She opened the door and called to the female orderly behind the desk in the corridor: "Coffee! Another turkey sandwich!"
While washing down her stomach with coffee-bar meat buns, she once again studied the files on the "Umbrella Project" that had just been transferred from the archives.
Suddenly she realized a problem. Judging from the files, the Nanwuliang Sect's troops had been carefully prepared to infiltrate Lingao: they knew Lingao's policies very clearly. In the interrogation records, more than one person admitted that someone had given them relevant advice in Guangzhou.
As for the "Zhuo family", although they appear as "immigrants" from outside, judging from the regular surveillance reports of the inn and several investigations by the detective team, they know a lot about Lingao - completely. Not like the first coming high people.
"So that's it!" The doubt that had been lingering in Yang Cao's heart was answered instantly, "You are in the same group!" (To be continued.
