Chapter 1879 1880 Go see the world

"After a long period of investigation and observation, we have gained an in-depth understanding of the target. If the other party has superb anti-reconnaissance capabilities, he must have noticed our presence long ago and quickly fled this place. He would never stay here and perform this seemingly meaningless show with us. This means that he most likely has not had contact with other people." In the investigation office of the Imperial Security Bureau, an agent scratched his hair and said tiredly.

They had been tracking and monitoring a guy who often appeared near the Forbidden City. He was tall, had a beard, and always wore sunglasses. He didn't look like a good person.

The opponent's anti-reconnaissance ability seemed to be not very good, and they had never realized that they had been targeted. But he had not contacted his accomplices, which made the Imperial Investigation Bureau a little hesitant and unable to use their full strength.

"Hasn't he come into contact with other people?" The officer in charge of the case investigation frowned and confirmed again.

"No." The people below shook their heads and answered affirmatively.

"From the intelligence we have, his daily life is very regular and his movements are almost the same every day. Most of the places he goes in and out are suitable for observation and reconnaissance." The investigator marked every building this person had visited on the map, marking them all in red.

On the map, these red dots are very eye-catching and cover most of the squares near the Forbidden City.

"From these actions, we can clearly see that he is confident in his shooting skills. The locations he chooses are all places with a wide field of vision and convenient for sniping."

Since it has not yet been determined where the Emperor's coronation ceremony will be held and the Emperor's specific location, the assassin needs to visit many places for scouts.

However, his activities were traceable and could be analyzed technically. Through these analyses, the Imperial Security Bureau was able to grasp the basic logic of this person's actions.

"We have invited some top snipers to conduct a comparative analysis, and they all agree that this man is obviously carefully selecting his sniping positions. Every place he goes to is the best shooting position for a specific target." The subordinates spread out photos of the places this man had visited on the table and introduced them one by one.

Judging from the shooting angles of these photos, these places are indeed excellent shooting positions, and it can be seen that the other side is a very skilled shooter.

Unfortunately, there are people in this world who are more professional than him. The security department of the Tang Empire is definitely an expert in this area. Whether it is similar actions or experience in preventing similar actions, the security department of the Tang Empire is the strongest in the world.

This is not just bragging, but the result of their accumulation through scientific training and sufficient experience.

"However, even though he chose the sniper position so carefully, we still doubt whether he can succeed. Once the location for His Majesty the Emperor's coronation is determined, the nearby high-rise buildings and the best sniper positions will definitely be filled with our security personnel. Under such strict security measures, his plan seems unlikely to succeed." An investigator confidently explained to his boss.

"As to whether he understands the security procedures on our side, we don't know. Maybe he doesn't know how we implement security, which may be one of the reasons why he is still carrying out these actions. If he knew, he would probably be desperate." Another person picked up the teacup and said jokingly.

Although it was boring and a waste of energy to keep staring at such an idiot, everyone was still very enthusiastic about their work. After all, it was not easy to find an idiot in Chang'an who dared to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor these days.

Even the Investigation Bureau has set up several other investigation teams to prevent the possibility that this target is a bait deliberately thrown out by the other party to attract the attention of the Imperial Security Bureau. They are independently investigating other possible assassination attempts against His Majesty the Emperor.

"What a pathetic guy, he doesn't realize that all his efforts are in vain. In fact, we have been monitoring him for a long time, and his every move is under our control." Putting down the teacup, the agent stared at the entire wall of relationship diagrams, photos and evidence, and clicked his tongue.

"What about weapons, how's the investigation going?" The officer needed to report all of today's investigation results and progress to Director Leo, so he continued to ask.

Although there are too many missing weapons to investigate them all, it would be much easier to investigate if we knew where these weapons were going.

It is not an easy task to bring explosives or sniper rifles back to the Western Continent from the Eastern Continent, so the Imperial Security Bureau also focused its investigation on the Western Continent.

At the same time, it would be very easy to strictly control the illegal weapons entering Chang'an. After all, with the enthusiasm of the people of Chang'an today and the cooperation of the nobles, it would not be difficult to know if a sniper rifle was brought into Chang'an and its purpose was dangerous.

So the agent in charge of investigating this matter answered directly: "We have also found some clues about the source of his weapons. It is not easy to get a high-precision sniper rifle to Chang'an."

"Since we already know the other party's intentions, it is easy to find the supplier of this weapon." He said as he placed an ugly photo on the table.

"We have already set up surveillance on this supplier, and he can no longer escape our pursuit. The reason why we haven't taken action yet is because we are worried that if we do, it may alert the enemy and arouse the vigilance of other dangerous elements." As he spoke, he pointed to the location of the person marked on the map.

Judging from his identity, this man is a scoundrel in Chang'an City. Gangs have no room to survive in this city, and he is just a "gangster". As for why he was able to get a sniper rifle, it is actually because he is also a pawn planted by Sofia in Chang'an.

After years of hard work and with sufficient funds, they naturally have some ability. However, the Imperial Security Bureau has not yet arrested anyone, nor has it interrogated anyone to prove that they are Sophia's party.

"The biggest problem now is that the other party has been acting alone." The officer pinched his chin, stared at the mark on the map, and said a little depressed.

"Yes. From the current situation, there seems to be no sign that he has any contact with other dangerous elements. It is estimated that they are adopting a more cautious mode of action, which makes our investigation more difficult." The men nodded one after another.

"This puts us in a dilemma. If we take action here, we really don't know if other dangerous elements will notice anything. After all, the other party may have spies in the same building." The officer continued, pinching his chin.

The others also nodded. "As long as the curtains, flower pots and other items show any abnormality, or have not been changed for a few days, they will be aware of the fact that their accomplices have been caught. In this way, it will be more difficult to find them again. Therefore, we decided to adopt a more cautious and meticulous action strategy."

"If you ask me, we should just arrest them. Why make it so complicated? If we can just defeat them once and make them behave themselves during the coronation ceremony, won't that be enough?" Tang Mo said nonchalantly while enjoying Le'er trimming his nails comfortably.

"Your Majesty, we must consider your safety. Leaving behind a group of dangerous elements who may do something small at any time will be detrimental to you and the entire empire." The Minister of the Interior, Princess Youlin, reminded with a frown.

This was a matter of safety for her husband, the Emperor of the Empire. How could she treat it lightly? Even if there was only one person who slipped through the net, it would be enough to make her unable to sleep or eat.

"The empire is so vast, how can I kill all those who want me dead? In fact, your worry is completely unnecessary, because this is not a problem at all." Tang Mo smiled and comforted his woman.

He really thought so. Whether it was the leader of a gang or the emperor of an empire, it was actually the same. No one could know what the subordinates who didn't want you dead today would think tomorrow.

The more subordinates you have and the more vast your territory is, the less likely it is that people will have unified thoughts. Some people will think one way, and some will think another. There will always be people who are dissatisfied, and there will always be people who have evil intentions.

Some people are grateful to you, while others will hate you because of it. There are countless old nobles and local tyrants whose families have been ruined because of the land and economic policies of the Tang Empire. How could Tang Mo care about them?
"That being said, we must also fulfill our duties as subjects. If we allow the thieves who threaten the emperor's safety to go unpunished just for our own convenience, we will be dereliction of duty." You Lin knew that Tang Mo loved her and didn't want her to work so hard, so she sighed and said to Tang Mo.

"In fact, there is no need to do this." Tang Mo changed his hand and handed it to Le'er who was holding the nail clippers. He continued to say to You Lin: "In my opinion, the reform of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is even more important than this assassination operation."

"We have walked all the way from the edge of a knife, so we naturally have the ability to solve the problems we face. But our children and their children's children may not have the same wisdom as us, so we must leave enough things for them to use as capital for them to settle down." Tang Mo said as he looked at Le'er who was carefully trimming his fingernails with a file.

Because Le'er is a beastman, she still has no children of her own. This topic seems a bit too sensitive for this cat-eared girl.

But Tang Mo had to tell it, because this was an internal matter of their royal family. If he didn't tell his wives, he would really have no one to confide in.

When talking about children, You Lin's face showed a loving look. She had a prince, and he was a strong contender for the next emperor. Tang Mo had taken so much trouble to reform the system, which made her feel warm and cared for.

So she no longer talked about the Ministry of Internal Affairs's pursuit of the assassin, and instead talked about her recent progress in cutting and splitting up the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The current Ministry of Internal Affairs has too much power. After all, the empire has unified the world, and everything that happens in this world, strictly speaking, belongs to the internal affairs of the Tang Empire.

Although You Lin was the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she also did not want to see the Ministry of Internal Affairs dominate. After all, in addition to being the Minister of Internal Affairs, she was also a member of the royal family.

For the sake of the eternal throne, she was definitely on the side of weakening the power of her ministers. Therefore, she had been actively promoting the reform of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Tang Mo was very happy because with Alice taking action in the finance department and You Lin taking action in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there were fewer obstacles for him to reform the imperial institutions.

With his own prestige in the military and his control over the entire court, the internal reforms of the Tang Empire will surely proceed very smoothly.

As long as the transition is smooth, the empire will surely usher in a long period of stability after unifying the world. He is still young and has plenty of time to make various arrangements.

When the day comes when he really needs to rest, he can give his place to his son, and then take his loved ones to take a good look at the world he has conquered.
