Chapter 1536

"Yes, it makes sense logically, but Comrade Wumu, your logic is missing a key link," Zhao Manxiong shook his head and said, "Who the hell told them that the Taoist priest has a 'natal charm'? It’s clear, the Taoist priest doesn’t have such a thing at all.”

"Since it is a folk sect, isn't it normal to fabricate some strange powers and pretend to be ghosts?"

"That's for their believers. The high-level people understand it very well. They made up this thing to coax the believers. It's perfectly fine to justify their incompetence and failure. How could they fool themselves and send people to destroy this nonsense? s things?"

"You mean, these people are just pawns, and the real mastermind behind the scenes hasn't shown up?" Wu Mu has worked in the Political Security Bureau for several years, so he still has the ability to make connections.

"That's a possibility." Zhao Manxiong nodded, "However, I'm more inclined that someone for some purpose revealed Zhang Yingchen's so-called 'dead spot' to Nan Wuliang Sect. The temptation has been oppressed by the new Taoism." The anger made Nan Wuliangjiao put all his eggs in one basket."

"What's the point of doing this? Just to cause us some trouble?"

"Comrade Wumu, your doubts are very reasonable. If someone can persuade the high-level officials of the Nan Wuliang Sect to send someone to Lingao to die, this person is by no means an unknown person, and must have enough authority and wealth in the society of Ming Dynasty .Since he can use such a large amount of resources, why would he play tricks and set fire to Yunjiguan, which is innocuous to us?"

Now only the first phase of Yunji Temple has been completed, and it is not considered "magnificent 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 labor hours.Only a sect like the Nan Wuliang Sect would hold a grudge against the "magical power" of Yunji Temple.

Yes, Wu Mu thought, there are too many targets worth destroying in Lingao, even setting fire to Dongmen City, the effect is much better than burning down the remote Yunji Temple.

He recalled the entire umbrella project, tentatively saying: "They are smoke bombs."

Zhao Manxiong nodded, and pressed the cigar butt into the blue and white porcelain pen washer: "Very likely. Do you remember the battle where the pirates attacked Bopu at night after D-Day?"

"Of course I remember." Wu Mu nodded, "You mean that the real mastermind hasn't shown up yet, and Nan Wuliang Sect is just a smoke bomb to paralyze us?"

"Yes. This possibility is very high. And what we have to face is probably a heavyweight from the Ming system."

"The Ming court?"

Zhao Manxiong smiled and said, "Comrade Wumu. As a regime, the current Ming court is not up to standard even in the medieval society. So I don't think it can be them."

Wu Mu still couldn't get around: "You mean..."

"Let's put it this way, it's some people in the Ming court—of course, people who hold a lot of power and resources. Do you understand?"

"You mean 'private use of public power'?"

"You have to use concise and accurate language." Zhao Manxiong nodded.

"But what good does it do him to deal with the Senate?" Wu Mu still couldn't figure it out, the Senate is now a behemoth that can't hide its size and teeth.This is no better than Emperor Tian personally conspiring to seize the Ziming Building - no one has really seen the strength of the Senate.To say that there are still people who want to steal from the Senate is tantamount to pulling out teeth.

"We don't know about this." Zhao Manxiong shook his head and said, "First of all, we need to know who they are. I estimate that the enemy should have hidden a number of spies in Lingao, not only among the natives, but also among the naturalized people, and even the returned people from powerful institutions. I'm afraid there are also some in the Huamin team."

This is an understatement, but Wu Mu still couldn't believe the conclusion that the enemy might be lurking in the powerful department.

The powerful institutions of the Senate are all built with reference to the structure and system of the most successful powerful institutions in the 20th century. Although there are strong traces of copycats, limited to the quality of personnel, they are somewhat different, but in this time and space it can be said to be beyond the era. The presence.

If it is said that the enemy can lurk among the aborigines or ordinary naturalized people, this is still possible. After all, the Political Security Bureau cannot be foolproof. Mu couldn't help feeling that Deputy Director Zhao had a slightly bigger brain.

"You think it's impossible?" Zhao Manxiong asked, as if realizing his thoughts.

"Honestly, it's unbelievable."

"You are very honest." Zhao Manxiong nodded, "In a sense, you are right. But we have to take into account that people can learn - what they lag behind us is the lack of system and knowledge accumulation, and It’s not IQ. Furthermore, many of our institutional advantages cannot be implemented.”

Wu Mu admits this point, even if the Political Security Bureau is picky about its employment and devotes a lot of energy to training, the level of staff is the same.Many people are doing work beyond their capacity.If there are no veteran cadres to carry out quality control by themselves, God knows how many troubles will be made.

"so……"

"Have you read the file of the Umbrella Project carefully?"

"Looked."

"The people of the Nan Wuliang Sect, from entering the Lingao to lurking down, step by step methodically, and the cover identities are well chosen. Some people shave their heads and become naturalized people, and some are natives... There is no lack of various documents--even if these things belong to Few people in Huamin can fully understand, without the guidance of people from powerful institutions, they will never be able to achieve this step." Zhao Manxiong showed a little worry, "there must be spies in the powerful institutions."

"I understand that arresting people is not the main point, the key is to dig out spies."

"That's right. What's behind the scenes, the ultimate boss, is meaningless to us, even if he is Chongzhen, Huang Taiji, or some shogunate general, governor, etc., to the Senate, he is a chicken and a dog, destroyed It's only a matter of time. But the spies lurking within us..."

"Okay, I'll immediately find Comrade Zhou Botao and inform him to continue the umbrella project."

"No, let him finish the Umbrella Project. The next thing we will call it the 'Sun Umbrella' Project"—let him select a few capable investigators and handle it in secret. "

Zhou Botao, Director of the Investigation Division of the Political Security Bureau, sat on a chair, carefully considering the spirit of Deputy Director Zhao's message about setting up the "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 is a bit difficult to dig out the spies inside the powerful institutions.Because in Lingao, the Political Security Bureau is not the only powerful institution.

Except for some institutions that only have a brand name, there are only three and a half main powerful institutions in 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 does not mention it. Their main business is anti-corruption. At present, they only have the headquarters 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 sector is highly specialized and staff spend most of their time doing office work.Zhou Botao thought it was unlikely that the spies were in this department.

From Zhou Botao's point of view, the possibility of moles 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 the natives of this time and space are unlikely to have this ability.

The largest and most important powerful institution under the Senate is the national police, and there are their institutions on the entire Hainan Island with a large number of personnel.Regardless of the fact that the Political Security Bureau seems to have more "deterrence" and is almost pervasive, but outside Lingao, the expatriates of the Political Security Bureau completely rely on the national police to carry out their work.Even in Lingao, many activities have to be supported by the national police.

However, just because of its large structure, large number of personnel, and low entry standards-the police system of the Senate has expanded rapidly in recent years, it is not difficult to sneak into this institution and wait for it to lurk.

If you want to say which powerful department is most likely to have spies lurking, the national police is the most likely.Zhou Botao thought to himself.What's more, in the previous stage, suspicious elements within the national police have been discovered in the routine internal control report of "controlling users".

The problem The relationship between the Political Security Bureau and the National Police is somewhat delicate.Although the two parties have been cooperating happily so far, the targeted investigation of "spies" may cause a backlash from the top of the national police-many veterans already think that the Political Security Bureau has stretched its hands too far.

Although it was instructed to conduct a secret investigation, it must first obtain the understanding of the high-level national police.In other words, they had to come up with strong evidence that they had spies inside.

Zhou Botao picked up Li Yongxun's case file that was on the table. It is true that Li Yongxun has problems, but just having problems does not prove her guilt.

Li Yongxun was found to be in trouble because some security activists reported to the police that some strange symbols appeared on the walls of a certain street in Dongmen City.

Originally, the police station thought that this was just left by a few thieves who tried to get rich in Lingao—they often used symbols to convey information.So he sent a police officer familiar with Jianghu Chundian to investigate.

But after the police officer in charge of the investigation went there, he found that he didn't recognize these symbols. After transcribing them, all the policemen in the public security department who had experience in the world and knew all kinds of spring scriptures were called to identify them. A long-standing thief came to identify it, but found nothing.

So this lead was transferred to the Political Security Bureau.The Political Security Bureau sent people to conduct a secret investigation and found that the password had been updated. It was determined that someone was using the password to communicate here, so a surveillance post was set up on the second floor of the opposite shop to secretly monitor the location.
