In the corner of the Secret Service Dormitory Area C, a small auditorium was heavily guarded. Not only was the Intelligence Division action team standing at the door, but there were also guards patrolling nearby, completely surrounding the place.
In the auditorium, the newcomers stood in a team of ten, and they were very excited. No one thought that they would be involved in a big case as soon as they came to the Intelligence Section. It was really a blessing from God.
Isn't that what the section chief was like back then? He solved the sanatorium espionage case when he joined the job, and then he rose to the top. Naturally, they didn't dare to compare with the section chief, but just in case, even if they were promoted to team leader, that would be fine.
Shen Dongxin looked at the red-faced classmates from the special training class and knew what they were thinking. He shook his head secretly. These guys just saw Zuo Zhong rising step by step, but they ignored the most important point.
None of you is a Virgo teacher.
"Keep quiet, don't forget where this place is, assign specific tasks now." He reminded the distracted newcomer and read out the document in his hand.
"There are 203 service personnel at the venue, 54 staff, 17 management staff, and a total of 1,167 family members, who will be screened by the first team.
There were 124 personnel from the 88th Division in charge of security work that day, 54 internal security agents, and a total of 548 family members, who were screened by the second team.
There are 578 entourages of ministers, 66 reporters, 34 staff in the post-meeting banquet hall, and a total of 1,915 family members, who will be screened by the third team.
The remaining personnel formed a verification team to conduct random checks on the comparison results of the first, second, and third groups. If any problems arise, they will be dealt with by military law. Did you hear this? "
The newcomers instantly shuddered. It turned out that this was a big case. They were being followed and monitored, and they lowered their heads to read the book. They were being fired at, but they still lowered their heads to read the book. What kind of spies were they?
So they all said feebly: "Yes."
Gu Qi watched quietly from the side without saying anything. As a newcomer, it is understandable that he always wants to reach the top in one step, but intelligence work is so boring.
All actions are based on a large amount of intelligence analysis. Otherwise, the target cannot be found. No matter how capable you are, you can only do your best.
For example, in this screening, as many as 4,000 people need to be investigated, and tens of thousands of files are used. Puppet Manchukuo spies are likely to be among them.
This is only temporary. As the session approaches, there will be an astonishing number of people from various ministries coming to help and reporters doing temporary interviews.
Corey definitely doesn't have the extra manpower to do this, so he can only let the newcomers learn while doing it. He can't just call the section chief over and sit there comparing information.
There are three advantages to placing the screening work in location C. First, there are dozens of desks next to each other, with an unobstructed view, and no one can make small moves.
Second, in the following days, newcomers need to be screened during the day and trained at night. Staying at location C to save time and improve work efficiency.
Third, being closed makes it easier to keep secrets. Newcomers have food and accommodation in the dormitory area. Even if someone with ulterior motives wants to leak information, there will be no opportunity to pass it on.
Over there, Shen Dongxin saw that everyone was not in high spirits, so he smiled and comforted: "Don't be so depressed. Corey asked us to check the information because he is responsible for everyone's lives.
As you have seen after being here for two days, the training we received is very basic. In terms of intensity and training volume, it is incomparable to Corey's training.
I dare not go to the front line now. It would be harmful to others and myself. I will stay here with everyone until the suspected Manchukuo agent is found.
The newcomers were speechless. Shen Dongxin was an international student who had returned from Saint-Cyr. In the special training class, his grades in all subjects were among the best, and everyone present admired him.
Even he said so, what else could they say. They had to stand up straight and wait for orders. The originally scattered formation quickly returned to order.
Seeing that the situation was under control, Gu Qi smiled with satisfaction. As the deputy section chief, he had a mountain of work every day. Of course, he couldn't come to the training unit every day to keep an eye on him.
So he handed over the work completely and only filled in the gaps. So far, Shen Dongxin has done a good job and has not made any major mistakes.
Shen Dongxin maintained order, closed the document, turned around and saluted: "Report to Deputy Section Chief Gu, all personnel are here, tasks have been assigned, please give instructions."
Gu Qi nodded and said softly: "Let's get started and be more careful. The section chief said that if any of you find anything, you will be rewarded after the case is closed.
Our Intelligence Department has never engaged in seniority ranking. As long as you have made meritorious deeds, you don’t have to worry about being buried, and no one dares to take away your credit. "
The newcomers were refreshed and walked to their desks to sit down. On each desk were materials more than half a meter high. This was only a half-day task, and there were more in the corners that needed to be sorted out little by little.
If it weren't for his concurrent job, it would be really difficult to retrieve the information of so many party and government agency personnel. Of course, when Gu Qi contacted various agencies, he used the excuse of routine background checks.
Originally, this was the work content of the Department, and personnel from sensitive agencies had to review it every year, but the review was so lonely that no one, whether it was the underground party or the Japanese, was found in the Department.
These spies are like mouthpieces. As long as any secret leaves the conference room, it will become known to everyone in less than half a day, spreading faster than conference documents.
This was the source of the Chairman's dissatisfaction with one area. The National Government had become a public toilet, and all forces could come and leave as they pleased. This was why the Secret Service was allowed to intervene in the field of political intelligence.
In the eyes of others, this so-called routine background check is a power struggle between the Secret Service and the First Division. This illusion can cover up reconnaissance operations and avoid alerting the other party.
As the newcomers lowered their heads to check the information, there was only the rustling sound of turning pages in the auditorium. Gu Qi turned around in a circle with his hands behind his back, stopping to check carefully from time to time, for fear that the newcomers would miss important information.
In fact, the screening this time is not difficult. After all, there are fixed screening conditions. It can be said that you can do it if you know how to read, otherwise Zuo Zhong and Gu Qi will not give them the task. The key is to be patient and meticulous.
The first step that the new people have to do is to select those who joined the post after the 21st year of the Republic of China, that is, after the establishment of the Puppet Manchukuo, as key targets. There are naturally reasons for this.
In the past, the Northeast was the territory of the Zhang family. Even if the old people and the young were fed up, they would not dare to do anything under the eyes of the Zhang family, who was born in Huzi, unless they were not afraid of lighting sky lanterns.
Only when the Puppet Manchukuo is established can the Puppet Manchukuo agents have external conditions for training; at the same time, with a certain little emperor, they will be so cooperative with the Japanese.
Subsequently, the personal information and life experiences of these key targets, the specific circumstances of their ancestors in the previous dynasty, and even whether their relatives had records of serving in the previous dynasty, must be verified through various channels.
What's more important is to compare the list of puppet Manchukuo personnel provided by Tuozhi with the relationship network of key targets. If any overlap is found, investigate immediately.
As long as there is a suspect, the case is basically solved. No one can survive the interrogation of the Intelligence Section, not the Japanese, not even the traitors of the Manchurian puppets.
While Gu Qi was thinking, Shen Dongxin came over and reported: "Deputy Section Chief Gu, there are less than forty people here, and the investigation will take at least half a month.
If you still get nothing after doing this, then you have to go back to the first step and investigate the information of all personnel, which will be troublesome. "
Yes, the thought of background checks on thousands of people was overwhelming, and there was no time. Gu Qi was anxious in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
He smiled lightly and said: "If there is no result, there is a result. At least the people who have been checked have no problems. The screening of information is a process of elimination.
A thousand people investigated 900 people. Even if there is no evidence, the remaining 100 people can be directly detained. They will always be found. You have to be patient in your work. "
At a critical moment, when the safety of so many officials is at stake, whether it is moving the venue or temporarily detaining suspicious people, these are necessary measures.
After watching for a while, Gu Qi found that the newcomer had already entered the state, and the rest of the work was left to time. He patted Shen Dongxin on the shoulder, and the two walked out.
As he walked, he whispered: "The light in the auditorium is a bit dark. I will ask the General Affairs Department to send some lamps later. Be careful not to let them in.
People in general affairs deal with all kinds of people every day. The circle is too chaotic, and there may be people with unknown intentions. You need to be careful when dealing with them.
Solve the circuit problems yourself, and be sure to pay attention to fire prevention. There is only one copy of many documents. If it is burned and lost, it will be troublesome. Newcomers should pay more attention to it. "
Gu Qi's meaning was very clear. Except for Shen Dongxin, who had fought alongside them, he didn't believe anyone here, especially the newcomers.
It's one thing to know the details, but it's another thing to be unreliable. Trust needs to be established slowly. You don't need to be suspicious of people and don't have to worry about time and place.
"I understand, Deputy Chief Gu."
Shen Dongxin didn't quite understand why there was only one copy of the information, so he nodded: "I will check the lamp first and then ask the brothers from the action team to send it in.
There is no problem with the wiring. I know some electrical knowledge, and the water pipes have been prepared long ago. In case of accidents, there are some emergency sandbags at the back.
This is a municipal pipe network. If someone wants to sabotage it, a grenade can cut off the water here. I suggest building a backup water storage tower. "
As expected of someone who came from a first-class military academy, he does things very safely. With such a deputy, he can save some worry and don't have to spend too much time on training.
Gu Qi nodded: "It makes sense. This can prevent the water source from being damaged. I will report it to the section chief. It probably won't cost much, so I might as well build a few more."
It is also necessary to build the Hong Gong Temple to prevent the Japanese from poisoning the water. We have to prevent this. I will leave this place to you. I will go back to the place. "
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Shen Dongxin said made sense. After saying that, he got in the car and drove away. He wanted to discuss with the section chief to make up for this security loophole.
In addition, he had to go to Wu Chunyang to take a look. Compared with the simple tasks of the training unit, the tasks of the political intelligence unit were more important and more troublesome.
