Chapter 48 Value

Su Hebei is a famous shantytown in Shanghai. The lane is narrow and there is no light. The wet walls are slippery and greasy. If you look carefully, there are some green moss on it. These dark and wet alleys are what Shanghai people often call lanes.

"Nantang" is a common name for Shanghai people, and "Nantang House" is a Nongtang building. The houses in Nongtang and Nongtang are actually the products after the opening of Shanghai. At first, foreigners were only allowed to work in the concession, but were not allowed to live in the concession. Later, it was found that it was obviously not enough to rely on a few foreigners to realize the potential of Shanghai's metropolis. So half a century ago, when the bandit rebellion swept across the Yangtze River and a large number of rich Chinese refugees asked to move in, the concession authorities pushed the boat and opened the concession to Chinese residents.

In order to facilitate management, a large number of collective houses were built on the designated plots. These houses are mostly vertical-posted structures, which are connected like barracks. The internal traffic is free. Externally, only the lanes reach the road, and the lanes are equipped with iron gates, which can be closed at any time. In the old days of Shanghai, those who could live in the lane were at least those with fixed income, otherwise they would not be able to pay the rent and house donations that must be paid every month.

Since the society is hierarchical, there is naturally a difference between high and low schools. The quality of lane houses at different levels is quite different, and the more important difference is the location. Generally speaking, it is located in Zhabei and Nanshi, and Hongkou is slightly better. Jing'an Temple Road and Xiafei Road are the best. Shanghai has the names of "upper corner" and "lower corner". "upper corner" refers to the high-end residential areas in the west of the city. "lower corner" naturally refers to those low-level residential areas, and the rent of the two "corners" can be three or four times or even more than ten times. Of course, Suhe North Road is only a relatively low-level lane.

Finally, at the corner of the lane, Tian Yi, who has been in Shanghai for five days, found a small house. The house is on the second floor by the entrance of the stairs. The floors are really small. It is convenient to move forward with a head down when going in and out. There is only space for a bed. There are no tables and chairs. Fortunately, there is a end of the bed. A small window can see the scenery in the lane outside, but for Tian Yi, what he needs is not the scenery outside the lane, but from this small window, he can easily observe the street and lane. There is no more suitable house than this, which is secret and has a wide view.

When paying, Tian Yi found that the landlord was actually a widowed half-old woman with black hair and a beautiful goose egg face.

"I think I must be a great beauty when I was young!"

Tian Yi muttered in his heart. But at this time, when I think of what I'm going to do, I don't feel like hunting.

Hidden in **, as soon as Tian Yi closed his eyes, a man who had heard the name for a long time came to his mind. Akashi Genjiro, the colonel who subverted half of Europe and turned Russia's hinterland upside and kept armed uprisings.

"What a real genius!"

Tian Yi admired in his heart that although when he was in Manchuria, he also used those horse bandits, Manchu officers and soldiers, and even the volunteer army in the past to achieve some results, it was still far from Mingshi.

"Contact the opposition party within the enemy country..."

Tian Yi repeatedly thought about the "Guide to the Riot" taken by Akashi Genjiro by telegram in his heart, which was the experience of Akashi Genjiro's strategy in Russia.

"To provide weapons to the revolutionary party, once the revolutionary party has the weapon, it will leap into a "rebel force" with strong morale." The chaos caused by the rebel forces will not only hit the confidence of the enemy's internal camp in the victory of the war, but also create a fake that the whole people are against the war..."

Tian Yi, who didn't close his eyes all day, was already sleepy and tired. He lay down and thought about it. After a while, he fell asleep. The frown and closed eyes seemed to be thinking about it, thinking about starting his strategy in China.

More than a dozen families in this building are people who come to Shanghai to make a living or escape. The adults are busy working outside all day long, and the poor family has no money to study with their children. The children in the family are naturally lazy to manage. While Tian Yi was asleep, a teenager quietly left the lane and stuffed the craftsman who repaired shoes in the corner of the lane. After a note, he jumped and left the lane.

"Tian Yi, also known as Tanaka Yiyi,"

No. 32, Pudong Minzu Road, is the location of the Shanghai Imperial Investigation Bureau. At this time, in the courtyard of the Investigation Bureau, the investigation bureau's attack team with a submachine gun and a waist-body automatic pistol has boarded the truck and is ready to leave at any time. At this time, a car drove into the courtyard. As soon as the car stopped, Cha Zhiqing came down from the car. Seeing the strike team ready to set out, I frowned, but my feet walked quickly towards the office building.

In the conference room on the third floor, an agent pointed to a photo nailed to the wall to make an introduction.

"I used to work in the Intelligence Department of the Japanese Military Staff Headquarters, because he studied Russian and was very fluent. After reporting to the second department, he was sent to study in Russia. He worked very hard in Russia. He took the Russians he knew to church every week, joined the Russian army, and personally obtained first-hand information. On the eve of the Russian War, he became the leading Russian commander in the army. After the outbreak of the Japanese-Russian War, it began to carry out behind-the-end operations in the northeast, collecting a large number of Hu bandits for its use... Now, Tanaka Yiyi, alias Tian Yi, entered Shanghai five days ago, and initially established contact with the Republicans with the Republicans with the help of the spy in Shanghai. We have reason to believe that this is the goal of Tian Yi. It should be planned to launch a rebellion in Shanghai..."

In the ten-minute report, the agents carefully looked through the information in their hands, which they had obtained through various channels in the past five days, information about Yoshiichi Tanaka, and even the information collected by the old Beiyang Army.

Just as the agent was about to start explaining the task, the door of the conference room was pushed open.

"The action is cancelled, and all action information will be sealed!"

When most of the agents were puzzled, in the office of the branch director, Yan Jiarong, the director of the Shanghai branch bureau, stood there without saying a word. The carefully arranged action was interrupted by the director when the action was about to begin. At this time, Yan Jiarong became nervous. He didn't know why the director came in person. Sea.

If it's just to cancel an action, you just need to send a telegram, and now looking at the person brought by the director, he knows that it will never be so simple for the director to come to Shanghai this time.

"I need a reason!"

Putting down the report in his hand, Zha Zhiqing looked at Yan Jiarong. His Majesty may have made up his mind, but he needs a suitable reason.

"If there is no suitable reason, it is difficult to guarantee whether anyone will regard this as a political axe being framed, so don't touch Tian Yi for the time being, and you can even give him some help..."

"Bureau, you mean to lead the snake out of the hole!"

Yan Jiarong immediately understood what the director meant.

"If the snake does not go out of the hole, the eagle can only be seen in the sky,"

"The director's opinion!"

He gently flattered the director. Yan Jiarong knew that those who were targeted by the director were afraid that they would be miserable this time. The conspiracy to commit a crime and the execution of a crime were absolutely two completely different concepts.

"But... Bureau, Tian Yi came to Shanghai. We have reason to suspect that it may attack the naval production enterprises. After all, in Shanghai, the only thing worth moving is the dozens of contractors in Shanghai. If they..."

Flattery, Yan Jiarong knows that if the contractors in Shanghai, no matter which one is destroyed, the dissatisfaction of the military may not even be able to keep themselves, and the intelligence agency over there is waiting to see the jokes of the investigation bureau.

"If it is not earth-shaking, how can the people be aware of the destructive surname of the enemy spies?"

Zha Zhiqing put on a serious look, and then sighed again.

"Although it is earth-shaking, we must keep the losses to a minimum. Everything should be just right. If the damage is big, it may affect the supply of military supplies. But if the impact is small, the people can't wake up, so we need to send people in!"

"Bureau, there are several suitable candidates in Shanghai!"

Although Shanghai is a branch, in front of the bureau, Yan Jiarong will quietly change the "name level" of the unit. There is only one director of the Bureau of Investigation, just like only one boss of the Bureau of Investigation.

"Send their information to me, and I will choose people myself. Can you do it once and for all? It depends on this time, do you understand?"

"Yes, bureau!"

A few minutes later, several copies of top-secret agent information were sent to Zha Zhiqing. After signaling Yan Jiarong to sit down, Zha Zhiqing looked at the information in his hand. He frowned slightly from time to time. These people were not suitable candidates. If the reporter dug deep, he would find that there were some suspicious identities of these people. Obviously, it is not suitable.

At this moment, a person's information came into his sight.

"Liu Xin! I studied in Tokyo,..."

Looking at the information in his hand, Cha Zhiqing finally nodded with satisfaction. The agent's resume is similar to the vast majority of young republicans. The most important thing is that he was influenced by republicanism when he was studying in Japan, and there was no file blank. Even if he was exposed, the reporter dug deep into it. It's hard to find the connection between this doctor and the political axe.

Doctors, with a high income, are not as easy to be bought by money as gangsters. They have been influenced by republican ideas and actively participated in various republican activities. They are republican activists.

"Is this Liu Xin reliable?"

He stared at Yan Jiarong, and Zha Zhiqing asked the last question.

"The director, any expatriate agent has absolutely no problem in reliability, but he is not a core member of the Shanghai Republican Party..."

"It doesn't matter whether it's the core or not. What matters is who did it! The people don't care about big people, and big people won't do that kind of thing. Those who show up are just little people! That's him!"

When he got this answer, Yan Jiarong couldn't help but be shocked. From the director's seemingly new answer, he could imagine that the director was preparing to set off a storm.

"Hengda, do you remember what I said when I joined the Imperial Bureau of Investigation?"

Seeing that there seemed to be a trace of surprise between Yan Jiarong's eyebrows, Zha Zhiqing's tone slowed down slightly and asked in a close tone.

"The purpose of the establishment of the Imperial Investigation Bureau is to "the sword and shield of the empire", casting swords to sweep away internal enemies, and casting shields to defend the empire!"

Yan Jiarong raised his head and answered the director's question in a relatively resolute voice.

He nodded with satisfaction, and Zha Zhiqing continued.

"I have warned each of you that the role of the Imperial Bureau of Investigation is not just to deal with those inter-provincial criminal cases. Although it is our authority, of course, I personally prefer to regard it as a practice. Criminal cases are only an integral part of the security of the empire, not all. The real power of the empire. The threat does not lie in the gangsters. It is impossible to completely eliminate the gangsters. Our responsibility is to limit those gangsters to a reasonable range. The real threat to the empire lies in those free politicians and those who are in conflict with the concept of the empire. You must remember that on this issue, we must adhere to a truth: not friends. Those who are friends are against us; those who are against us are enemies; the enemy will be eliminated! Do you understand?"

"Yes! I will remember the teachings of the bureau today!"

Zha Zhiqing stood up with a smile, and then walked to the window. Standing upstairs, he looked at the empty yard and suddenly turned around and asked Yan Jiarong.

"Hengda, why do I think our yard seems to be empty? What do you think?"

"..."

"Well, there is still one thing missing in the yard. Maybe we should add a sculpture. No, that is too conspicuous. Well, we should add a badge. Look back and design a badge, which is embedded in the floor of the yard... Yes! Just add a sentence: We are everywhere!"

When he said this, Cha Zhiqing showed a full-minded look. He knew what kind of justifiable authorization the Bureau of Investigation would get after the two bills were passed. Except that the Supreme Court could not approve the Bureau to establish a special court in the Bureau, special prosecutors could enter at will. Although no one cares about the issuance of search warrants and arrest warrants now, he knows how much role these powers granted now will play in the future for an empire whose laws are gradually improving, and even the investigation bureau will have its own prison.

"The investigation bureau must "scientificize" this work to the extreme with meticulous and rigorous style."

Cha Zhiqing secretly thought about it in his heart. As a "scientist", he has always believed that scientific meticulousness and rigor are conducive to the work of the Bureau of Investigation. Without the extremely rigorous style, the Bureau of Investigation can never be competent for its responsibilities.

"Soon, all of China will know the existence of the Bureau of Investigation, and the Bureau of Investigation will prove the value of the Bureau to your majesty and the people with its own actions!"
