Chapter 694 Extensive Investigation

After learning about the situation from the Ye family patriarch and Ye's father, Ye Shaohong immediately took action.

The first thing he did was head to the Special Service Station in Yamashiro.

With the prior notice from Dai Yunong, Ye Shaohong took over the intelligence and operations sections of the Jiangcheng station of the Special Service Department with overwhelming force.

He then distributed the list of sixteen suspects.

The intelligence personnel of the Special Service Station in Shancheng were assigned to conduct a preliminary investigation into the identities, family situations, children's circumstances, and social circles of these sixteen individuals, categorizing them by type.

Most of this information is documented and archived within national institutions.

It's still quite easy to find.

However, precisely because of this, the information gathered is also massive and complex.

Piles and piles of background information filled three tables.

Finding potential loopholes and clues within such a vast amount of background information would require an enormous amount of time and manpower.

Moreover, only experienced veteran agents can find anything suspicious.

no way.

Ye Shaohong had no choice but to take the transfer order again and go to the Shancheng Military Police Headquarters.

He transferred more than twenty experienced veteran agents from the military police headquarters to participate in the screening process. This slightly relieved his tense pressure.

Why did Ye Shaohong make this choice?

Why didn't he allocate personnel from the Party Affairs Investigation Department?

He was also helpless.

The enmity between the Party Affairs Investigation Department and the Special Service Department has a long history. Although the two units are not yet at the level of being mortal enemies as they would be in later generations, they are actually quite similar.

Ye Shaohong is indeed entrusted with a heavy responsibility and is investigating a major national case.

But he couldn't ignore the basic situation of the Special Service.

If he had the transfer order to the Party Affairs Investigation Department to draw personnel to help, it would be fine now that the case hasn't been resolved.

Once the case is closed, how will he explain it to the narrow-minded Dai Yunong?

I'm afraid Dai Yunong will turn around and throw him into a dark room and freeze him out.

In that sense, Ye Shaohong has actually compromised. Now, he's not much different from that bald-headed chairman.

With the support of the Yamashiro Military Police Command, the massive amount of background information and family circumstances of the sixteen suspects gradually began to emerge.

But it's still too slow.

Just the background check alone took two whole days for veteran agents from the counterintelligence departments of the two Nationalist governments to conduct.

This doesn't even include information that isn't in the archives.

The information continued to be submitted by the field personnel dispatched by Ye Shaohong after their investigations.

In less than two days, the background information and documents that once covered only three tables gradually expanded into a whole room.

In the end, they even booked a new room.

Ye Shaohong has been staying in his office for the past two days. He has hardly rested and has been nervously analyzing the findings handed over by his subordinates.

Furthermore, personnel should be assigned to reinvestigate these findings.

Get to know the real situation.

Finally, Ye Shaohong was pushed to the limit. He became ruthless once again and took the warrant directly to the police department that had just moved to the mountain city.

Relying on the privilege of the Special Service Department overseeing the military, police, and gendarmerie, they also transferred veteran agents from the Intelligence Department of the Ministry of Police.

With the combined efforts of the three parties, the intelligence gathering and screening work was finally able to proceed smoothly.

It was through this method that Ye Shaohong was able to narrow down the large list of 16 suspects to a small list of 6 in just three days.

Ten suspects were eliminated.

At this point, Ye Shaohong's tasks became much simpler. He began assigning people to screen the last six individuals. To eliminate suspects as quickly as possible, Ye Shaohong even equipped them with listening devices.

That's playing with fire.

The six remaining individuals all possessed impressive backgrounds and held high positions within the Nationalist government's command headquarters, staff headquarters, military command, and political strategy department.

Their lowest rank was lieutenant colonel.

The one with the highest rank among them was a major general.

If Ye Shaohong's discovery of the listening devices he had placed on them is exposed, he will still be held responsible even if the case is eventually solved.

There is a high probability that this will cause him to develop a deep-seated enmity with these six people.

The kind that never stops.

But Ye Shaohong ultimately gritted his teeth and gave the order. He had no other choice.

He has now been turned into a cannon emplacement by Dai Yunong, and can only move forward, not backward.

Retreating means certain death.

For the sake of the nation and its people, Ye Shaohong was willing to shoulder this responsibility.

His risky actions did yield some results. Although he failed to find any evidence of treason or collusion among the six men in two days, he did learn a great deal about their secrets through eavesdropping.

The sordid and despicable acts of scheming and collusion disgusted Ye Shaohong so much that he almost vomited.

Let me give you an example.

Take the staff officer of the Equipment Allocation Department of the General Staff Headquarters, for example. On the surface, he is a high-end talent who returned from studying in the United States, and he does indeed have real skills and knowledge.

But his private character truly opened Ye Shaohong's eyes.

This was still during the Republic of China era, and that bastard had already learned about unprotected sex and sexual intercourse from America.

They even moved back to the mountain town.

The schemes they orchestrated, and the people involved, were in no way inferior to the chaos and prosperity of later generations.

This truly proves the saying that, regardless of time or place, the tricks that powerful and influential people play are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

It's a lifestyle that ordinary people can never enjoy in their entire lives.

Ye Shaohong saw these things, but he could only pretend he hadn't.

He also had to suppress his disgust and destroy all of these materials.

It was truly incredibly frustrating.

The other individuals, to varying degrees, also engaged in these shady dealings. Later records show that during the War of Resistance against Japan in the Republic of China era, in order to support the front-line battles, the Nationalist government drastically reduced the salaries of serving officials.

The money being distributed is also legal tender that is constantly depreciating.

Because of this, many officers and generals of the Nationalist government struggled to support their families during the War of Resistance against Japan.

It's rare to eat meat even once every ten days or half a month.

Ordinary low-ranking military officers and government employees are struggling to even make ends meet.

That's actually not wrong.

During his visit to Shancheng, Ye Shaohong witnessed the difficult situation of ordinary military officers and government employees of the Nationalist government, but this did not include the suspects with powerful backgrounds on his investigation list.

Their extravagant lifestyle was even more extravagant than that of Ye Shaohong, the son of a wealthy Jiangnan tycoon.

Of course.

Besides these, Ye Shaohong also made a new discovery. After expending a huge amount of manpower, financial resources, and materials, and spending five days, even resorting to listening devices, he finally found a suspect in the vast sea of ​​people.

However, the appearance of this target left Ye Shaohong in a brief moment of astonishment.

What did he discover?

He discovered that this suspect was not on the list of sixteen people that Major General Zhang had given him.

He wasn't one of the final six people on the list either.

However, the appearance of this person also broke the deadlock that Ye Shaohong was in.

Then who is he?

He was a pimp...
