Lu Ming's residence is just diagonally opposite the First Control Office.
In the study, Lu Ming was talking to intelligence agent David.
Soros's mansion is located in the Mid-Levels, where various luxury villas are gathered. It is much more upscale than the townhouses here.
However, the luxury homes of the Gaidens in the Mid-Levels were not spared, and were the first to be confiscated.
Of course, Lu Ming would not ask directly about the situation of No. 21 Mid-Levels. Instead, he slowly asked about David's overall situation of the luxury houses in the Mid-Levels.
David went back to the office and brought back a stack of files, which contained information on all the owners of more than 500 luxury homes in the Mid-Levels, including the origins of these homes and the transaction status.
Basically, the original owners of these mansions were all Gad people. Later they were expropriated and seized, and then auctioned off and sold. A small number of them were newly built in the past ten years.
Lu Ming flipped through them casually and just glanced over number 21.
However, the general situation has come into view.
The current resident of this mansion is the mayor of Gill City, Hines. The property rights belong to the Rose Party and were allocated to Hines for residence because Hines is also the director of the Gill City branch of the Rose Party.
In the three states of Geddes, the governors are not elected through elections. As special administrative regions, they do not have parliaments. From the governor to officials at all levels, they are all directly appointed by the kingdom's cabinet.
Because the Rose Party played a decisive role in occupying the three states of Geide, it has been ruled by the White Rose Party for more than ten years.
Now it is even more powerful and other factions cannot get involved.
I guess Henry II never thought that one day the Rose Party would stand against him.
Lu Ming was thinking randomly while looking through the information about the luxury house.
I didn't expect that the seat No. 21 is now occupied by a very important figure from the Rose Party. This is a bit troublesome.
Davitt said, "General, there are also informants that our intelligence department has developed locally. A few days ago, I officially notified them that the contract with them had ended. But since the general will stay here for a while longer, can we pick up some of the key informants?"
Lu Ming nodded: "Okay."
David took out another stack of files from his briefcase and said, "I just brought them to you. They were supposed to be destroyed tomorrow."
Lu Ming nodded, took it and looked through it.
"Well, is there anyone living in the mid-mountain area?" Lu Ming picked up the third file.
"I'll go back and get you the detailed personnel file for the person you choose," David said hurriedly.
Lu Ming nodded and selected a dozen simple files.
Davitt wrote down the number and turned away.
…
The light in the study was bright, and Lu Ming was flipping through a thick folder containing various paper documents, photos, etc.
There was a gentle knock on the door at this time. After Lu Ming answered, a maid came in and brought a midnight snack.
"Sir, I made you some sweet soup," the maid said cautiously.
Because Jinzhi Shimi and Sutila knew their identities, they would never bring them to such a dangerous place, otherwise it would become their weakness. So they were sent to Wang's house.
The maids were hired randomly from the local market and used temporarily.
When the maid came in, Lu Ming covered the documents on the table with newspaper. The maid put down the dessert and left.
Lu Ming took the newspaper and continued reading.
The main focus is on informants No. 3, No. 7 and No. 9.
All three are informants who have access to the Mid-Levels luxury residential area.
No. 3 Gadget actress Scarlett Johansson was once a very popular actress and had a brief competition with Nicole.
Her crazy fans once attacked Nicole and herself at Pearl Island.
After the war broke out, Scarlett disappeared.
According to the informant's files, she had a very rough life and was imprisoned in a concentration camp. Later, because a cabinet minister was her fan, she was rescued and lived a stable life. It was reported that she became the lover of the cabinet minister. However, the good times did not last long. The cabinet minister soon lost power and was investigated as a sympathizer of the Gadists. During the investigation, she suffered from depression and jumped to her death.
The First Control approached Scarlett and promised to protect her, but asked her to provide intelligence on the Gede resistance organization when the opportunity arose.
Then he helped her become a socialite in Gil City. Because she used to be the lover of a minister in the kingdom's cabinet, some Gad resistance organizations thought that she could work for the resistance organizations and approached her, which led to the discovery of a major Gad spy case.
Of course, for three or four years, the Gede resistance organization has ceased to exist. Even if it does exist, it is on a very small scale, hiding in the dark, and no longer uses violent means such as assassination and sabotage.
Looking at the contract signed with Scarlett, the informant term is ten years, but judging by the terms, First Control can terminate the contract at any time.
A few days ago, First Control officially terminated the contract with her. The mansion was confiscated by First Control, and she was given a one-month buffer period to find a new residence, which seemed very humane.
But according to the records in the archives, Scarlett's life was very difficult. Although the monthly informant fee was not small, the daily expenses as a socialite were also high. In addition, Scarlett became addicted to drugs, which started when she cracked the Gad resistance organization. Perhaps because of her guilty conscience, she needed a lot of sedatives to fall asleep, and became addicted. She took the sedatives commonly used in modern medicine - barbiturates. Monroe in her previous life said that she died from an overdose of this drug (drug).
In addition, Scarlett is also raising a son who is about ten years old. No one knows who the father of this child is. First Control has also investigated. According to his age, this boy should be the fruit of Scarlett's love with her lover when she just retired from the film industry.
In addition, she also takes care of her parents, brothers and sisters and other family members.
The monthly informant fee was already tight for her.
The First Control's termination of the contract with her has almost pushed her to a dead end.
Lu Ming pondered and picked up the recent photos of the actress, who looked skinny and haggard.
After taking a look, Lu Ming shook his head and picked up the file bags of informants No. 7 and No. 9.
Informant No. 7, Joseph, is also a Gad, and is the housekeeper of the No. 56 mansion in the Mid-Levels. No. 56 mansion belongs to the Rudolph family, a steel tycoon in Sonya, and is home to Rudolph Jr., the head of the Rudolph family's branch in the Gad region, and Rudolph's third son.
Informant No. 9, William, is from Sonya and is an administrative officer in the governor's office. Governor Goring also lives in the Mid-Levels. He is considered to be a more outstanding administrative officer and can occasionally enter and exit the governor's Mid-Levels mansion.
In fact, it is obvious that after the Gad resistance organization was basically eliminated, the First Control Intelligence personnel mainly targeted the Rose Party.
After thinking for a while, Lu Ming picked up the phone and dialed.
On the other end, intelligence agent David quickly answered the phone.
"Let's arrange a suitable time for me to meet with No. 3, No. 7, and No. 9."
"Got it!" David agreed in a low voice.
Lu Ming then hung up the phone.
