1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 468
The special nature of the security intelligence agency has relatively strict requirements on the personal background of the employees. At the beginning, many people who had worked in Yacheng prison were allowed to work in the police department after defecting to Haihan. However, those who are familiar with the company Professionals with good manners were not immediately included in the development targets by the Ministry of Security.Although the Ministry of Security also has quacks recruited from outside the naturalized population, they don't trust those who come from the Gongmen.According to He Xi, the reason is that "those who are familiar with the rules of the game will more easily take advantage of the loopholes in the rules for their own personal gain, and even violate the rules and endanger Haihan's interests."

Therefore, most of the personnel in the establishment of the Ministry of Security are inexperienced people selected from naturalized people, but the literacy rate is much higher than that of other departments. After all, this department has a lot of desk work to do, and the illiterate Such people can only have value in the field team.As for those naturalized citizens who were born in the public family, they had to spend a certain number of years to slowly prove their political reliability before they could work in the Ministry of Security.

The Ministry of Security's approach has obvious advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, the members' thinking is relatively unified, and there will be no people with ulterior motives lurking in it, so it is easier to achieve a good management situation of order and prohibition.But on the other hand, the professionalism of these people is almost zero, and they need to be trained from scratch bit by bit, which will inevitably consume a lot of resources and time, and during this period, the operating efficiency of the security department will also be implicated. .

As for directly recruiting or instigating against the practitioners of the Ming Dynasty's intelligence agency, this matter is essentially a double-edged sword. If used well, it can naturally get twice the result with half the effort. Not good, and it is very likely to lure wolves into the house. After all, Jin Yiwei is nominally "the emperor's own army", and there are quite a few people in this yamen who are loyal to the imperial power.If someone with ulterior motives takes advantage of this opportunity and presents Hai Han with a live drama of infernal affairs, then the fun will be great, neither Hao Wanqing nor He Xi can bear this blame.

Now that Hao Wanqing dared to say this idea through Tao Donglai and Yan Chujie's mouth, he had already taken a certain risk.Even if these two made up their minds, he, Hao Wanqing, would have to take the blame for anything that happened next. It's just that there are two more people in the executive committee who will help and say good things, and the punishment will probably be lighter.

Hao Wanqing hesitated for a moment and said: "The five Jinyiwei spies captured this time are indeed a breakthrough, but the situation has changed a bit now, and three of the five have died."

"How did you die?" Tao Donglai asked in surprise.

"One had a conflict with someone in the hard labor camp. He was hit on the head with a hoe and died. The person who did it was a South Vietnamese prisoner of war. It is said that the dispute was only over a trivial matter. After we checked, we did not find that there was any For other factors, the South Vietnamese prisoner of war didn’t know his real identity at all.” Hao Wanqing paused, and then said: “After the accident, we took people out of the hard labor camp and held them alone, but there were still two people who were escorted to the prison. After Sanya was unaccustomed to the environment, two foreign doctors also went to see it. They said that the intestinal tract was infected with a virus. To save it, we had to use the good medicine we brought, and we might have to have an operation. The Ministry of Civil Affairs did not agree. They agreed to give medicine to the hard laborers, but after more than half a month, the condition became more and more serious, and each of them died in the morning and evening the day before yesterday."

Medical and health institutions are also subordinate units of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The Ministry of Civil Affairs has very strict regulations on the use of medical devices and various finished medicines in the cross-travel materials.Especially when the object of use is not a time traveler, then special approval from the executive committee is required.The prisoners in the hard labor camp are obviously not eligible to enjoy such generous treatment.To put it more seriously, their lives are not as valuable as those precious medicines brought from another time and space. If they get seriously ill, they can only resign themselves to their fate.

For such an accident, there is indeed nothing to blame, Tao Donglai nodded and said: "What about the remaining two people?"

Hao Wanqing replied: "There are two people left, one is Li Qingyang and the other is Chen Qisuo. There is no problem with the physical condition of these two people, but there are still some problems in using these two people."

"Go ahead." Tao Donglai waved his hand to signal Hao Wanqing to continue: "After all, they are Daming's intelligence personnel, and it would be abnormal if there is no problem."

Hao Wanqing said: "Chen Qisuo has a lot of problems. He lies a lot. Sometimes he not only deceives us, but also deceives himself. His mental state is very unstable. We think there is a big problem with his credibility. This He is currently arranged to work in Tiandu Iron Mine, if you think it is necessary, you can interrogate him at any time."

Tao Donglai shook his head and said: "There is no need for an interrogation. Professional matters are left to professional people. You are the experts here. Lao Yan and I are here to listen to your professional advice, not to interfere with your normal work. In addition One Li Qingyang can also talk about it!"

Hao Wanqing went on to say: "Li Qingyang is relatively speaking, the most stable person in this team. It is no wonder that his superior appointed him as the commander of the operation. However, his hostility towards us is not too serious. After they were arrested in Sanya, they did not carry out any formal resistance, and they cooperated with the interrogation. Apart from refusing to talk about Jin Yiwei's internal affairs, they basically explained the content of their operation honestly. Of course For the sake of prudence, we conducted a full 72-hour cross-examination of the five of them to ensure that nothing was omitted or concealed from what they confessed."

"What is Li Qingyang's political attitude? Is it possible to change his mind to work for us?" Yan Chujie asked.A total of five people were caught, and four of them were useless. Now we can only pin our hopes on this Li Qingyang.

Hao Wanqing said: "This is the main point I'm going to say next. From our interrogation, we can feel that Li Qingyang's respect for the imperial power is not as much as we expected. When talking about the identity of Jin Yiwei, , he regards this identity more as a kind of work, rather than a pro-army under the emperor who can die at any time. As long as this person is not superstitious about imperial power, I think there is still a lot of room for improvement in his thinking .”

"Then what does he care about? Money? Power? Family or something else?" Tao Donglai became interested after listening to Hao Wanqing's analysis. Undoubtedly, it was another major victory after the successful capture of these people last time.

Hao Wanqing thought for a while before answering: "You said all of these, I think the only thing this person doesn't care about is his status as a Jinyiwei. Judging from the situation he expressed, this person is somewhat underappreciated With a mentality, he took the task of hiding in Sanya, and he also planned to rely on this task to get ahead. If Jin Yiwei can't give him the career prospects he wants, I think he may indeed give up this identity and find another way out But at the same time, he also has some scruples. For example, his relatives live near Nanjing. If he disappears from the world, it may be an unbearable result for his family."

"These are not problems, as long as he has what he wants clearly, I'm afraid of the kind of person who doesn't know what he wants, and that kind of person will be more difficult to control." Tao Donglai is obviously concerned about Li Qingyang's situation I am also very interested: "As for the family members, if necessary, we will immediately arrange for someone to go to Nanjing to pick them up. The news of the arrest of the five of them has not spread, and it should be difficult for the Nanjing side to determine their whereabouts. , if it is delayed for a while, the Nanjing side will not be able to get the news from here, and it will probably become suspicious."

"Then where is this person now? Don't worry too much. To be cautious, I think it's best for me or Mr. Tao to have a face-to-face talk with him to see what this person's nature is before using him. "Yan Chujie also has a temperament of doing what he says, but the nature of this matter is quite special, and he still hopes to confirm the situation of this person in person.

Hao Wanqing waved his hand and said, "Don't be overwhelmed. I asked you two to come to the Security Department to discuss this matter. In fact, I just want you to make this decision. Whether to use it or not, you will have the final say after personal contact."

"Why do I hear your words as a bit of blame?" Yan Chujie joked: "You just wait for us to make a decision on this matter, and if something happens later, we will take the blame, right?"

"The Ministry of Security is always small and transparent. I'm a soft-spoken person. I really can't bear the blame. You have to take the lead first." Hao Wanqing kicked the ball back unceremoniously: "People are in the office building right now. The detention area behind is closed, if you want to meet, I will arrange it now."

Tao Donglai and Yan Chujie quickly exchanged glances, and then the two sides reached a tacit understanding.Yan Chujie got up and said, "I'll talk to him, and Lao Tao will be in charge."

Hao Wanqing said: "That's no problem. We have specially set up an interrogation observation room here. Mr. Tao can just sit in the observation room later."

Yan Chujie asked in surprise, "Is it the kind of one-way visible glass mirror in movies?"

Hao Wanqing nodded proudly and said: "To be precise, this is called a semi-transparent and semi-reflective mirror. The surface of the mirror is coated with a special film. As long as the difference in brightness between the two sides of the mirror is large enough, a mirror effect can be formed on the side with strong light. The weak light side is the perspective effect. I purchased two pieces before crossing, and they are used here.”

Yan Chujie clicked his tongue repeatedly. Before the crossing, he purchased tens of thousands of materials. Although Yan Chujie was one of the leaders of the organizing committee, he didn't know everything on the purchase list.For example, the purchase list under the glass mirror catalog does not include all kinds of manufacturing tools, and there are nearly a hundred kinds of finished products alone. It is impossible for experts in this industry to tell the difference between the names of the mirrors with special nouns.However, this lens, which is specially used in the interrogation room, is of great practical value.

Hao Wanqing ordered the staff to go to the detention area and Li Qingyang came out, and then he took Tao Donglai and Yan Chujie to the interrogation room.As Hao Wanqing claimed, there was indeed a lens inlaid on the wall of the interrogation room, which looked like an ordinary glass mirror from the interrogation room—of course, in the eyes of the prisoners being interrogated here, this kind of glass mirror might not be considered ordinary.Although it is not as large as a wall as in the movies and TV dramas, it is still three feet wide and two feet high. A glass mirror of this size can definitely be regarded as a treasure in this era.

The furnishings in the room are also very simple, except for a few LED light sources powered by solar energy on the ceiling that are very conspicuous, there is only a table and two chairs in the room, and the three-piece set is firmly fixed with bolts. The pedestal on the ground, and the shackles of the prisoner can be conveniently fixed on the legs of the chair or table to prevent them from suddenly bursting out and hurting people during the interrogation.

After visiting the interrogation room, Yan Chujie stayed in the room, while Tao Donglai, led by Hao Wanqing, went to the observation room next door. In this room, a one-foot-square glass tile was left on the ceiling for daily use. The lighting, the brightness is much weaker than that of the room next door, and the interrogation room next door is really panoramic from here.A number of well-disguised sound transmission channels were also made on the wall between the two rooms so that people in the observation room could clearly hear the conversations in the interrogation room.

About seven or eight minutes later, a sound of fetters dragging the floor came from far and near, and finally stopped outside the door of the interrogation room.After the door was opened, two staff escorted Li Qingyang, who was shackled hand and foot, into the room.After Li Qingyang sat down, two staff members fixed his hand and foot shackles to the tabletop and chair legs respectively. After confirming the locks, he saluted to Yan Chujie, then exited the room and closed the door.

It was probably the first time that Li Qingyang was brought to this room for interrogation, and he couldn't stop looking in the direction of the huge mirror on the wall.He has also seen Haihan glass mirrors in the Nanjing market. A piece as big as the palm of your hand costs dozens of taels of silver, and a size of one foot is about a thousand taels. This mirror has at least half the size of a person, so it must be sold. The price is sky-high.He probably couldn't understand why these strange Haihan people hung such a huge mirror in this room. Could it be that the people talking in this room still have the leisure to look in the mirror?As for the fireless and smokeless light source on the roof, Li Qingyang had seen it before when he was interrogated in other places, so it didn't feel too fresh.

While Li Qingyang was looking at this room, the three people who participated in this conversation were also looking at him together in the two rooms.Tao Donglai asked softly: "Is this guy so fat and white before he came to Sanya? Or was he raised by us after he came here?"
