In the three states of Gad, First Control has developed several thousand informants, but most of them are just figureheads. There are only more than a hundred important informants who have actually been filed and signed employment and confidentiality contracts.
However, after the contract was terminated, some informants who had been prepared had already left the place.
After a night of investigation, David found that more than a dozen informants had met with accidents, and some informants had long been out of contact. It was not known whether they were missing or had given up effective contact with the First Control.
"I want to focus on the car accident that killed No. 7."
In the office on the third floor of the First Control Center, the special service team leader Peide, the intelligence officer David, and the radio operator Richard were all there. Kunpeng was still the same, standing quietly behind Lu Ming like a ghost.
The person who was speaking was David. So many people had gotten into trouble, it was impossible to investigate each and every one of them.
Among the informants who confirmed that something had happened, the most important one was No. 7 Joseph, the butler of little Rudolph.
Lu Ming waved his hand. "No, we should start with the Scythe Party and find out how they arranged the shooters and how they accidentally killed our people."
The several informants who were shot at the bar were not very important, but the clues were the most obvious.
If we were to investigate a car accident, this isn't the first place to get the results, and we don't know when we'd get any clues.
David quickly understood what Lu Ming meant and nodded, "Yes!" The boss is the boss, and his thinking direction is always the most efficient.
Peide frowned and said, "It must be the work of the Rose Party. When they were dealing with the resistance organization, they opposed us everywhere and dug up our own people. Now that we have lost our power here and have been driven out of the Gaide area, they took the opportunity to retaliate and directly killed the people we used! These bastards are so hateful!" Looking at Lu Ming, "General, why don't we assassinate a few Rose Party members to get back at them!"
David's face changed slightly. There were still more than a dozen people in the action team. Declaring war on the Rose Party here would be tantamount to seeking death.
Especially if someone gets evidence of the assassination of a Rose Party member, even if all of our people die here, no one will seek justice for us. The First Control and the upper echelons of the Rose Party will join hands to cover up the truth.
Lu Ming waved his hand, "No matter what, we still need evidence." After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll go to the police station. Am I still the deputy chief of the police station?" He then said to David, "Come with me. You know more people in the police station than I do."
…
On the way to the police station, Lu Ming flipped through the materials on the Sickle Party.
Gangs are rampant in the city of Gill, especially with the influx of a large number of immigrants in recent years. Many ethnic groups also have their own unique violent organizations, such as the Left Hand Party of the Lassen people, the Hammer Gang of the Ownians, etc., all of which have established branches here.
The Gaide people were massacred in large numbers, and the survivors were living in an extremely oppressive state. The population dropped sharply. According to the top-secret information that First Control is not disclosed to the public, the original population of the Gaide people in the three states of Gaide was nearly 30 million. More than ten years later, according to the latest statistics last year, the number of Gaide people was less than 5 million.
Therefore, there are a large number of foreign immigrants in the three states of Ged, and conflicts between violent groups competing for the market are endless.
Gil, the central city of the three states, was once the most rampant place for gangs.
However, a balance has basically been formed among the gangs nowadays, and almost all of them have the support of Rose Party dignitaries behind them.
But the Scythe Gang is a gang active in the slums, and the 75-story Gaston Building is their territory.
The gangsters in Gaston Building are actually outside the social order and are at the bottom of the gang. They control the poor into prostitution and sell drugs to the poor in Gaston Building.
The Gaston Building slum is mostly inhabited by displaced Gad people, and some are those who have been released from concentration camps and are homeless, so they have no choice but to move into this terrible slum. Although they work as sweatshop workers under the control of gangs, at least they have a home.
While Lu Ming was flipping through the materials, the car slowly drove into the compound of the State Police Headquarters.
The police system of the Gaide Special Administrative Region is also different from that of other areas of the empire. For example, in the North, the dominion police are parallel to the city and town police, while in the Gaide Special Administrative Region, the state police, city police, local branches, etc. are a vertical power control system. The state police headquarters manages the city-level police stations, including the appointment of police officers, and the city police stations have jurisdiction over the police stations at the next level.
However, Deputy Director Lu Ming was obviously ignored.
The director's secretary blocked the way, saying that the director was not there and they didn't know who to talk to.
Lu Ming simply went straight into a meeting room and shouted at the door: "I want to use this room!"
No one cares about him.
"David, the police station has always been under the primary control and management, and the power was only handed over two months ago. How come we can't find a single useful person?" Lu Ming stared at David, "You are such a failure!"
David smiled bitterly, knowing in his heart that the "you" his boss referred to should not include him. He was just a small intelligence officer, and the failure of the First Control Office in operating the Gad region had nothing to do with him.
Lu Ming paced and said, "The director, deputy director, and captains of each brigade are all newly appointed, but the middle-level police officers here have completely cut ties with us. No one wants to have anything to do with us anymore?"
David's heart was slightly moved. "General, maybe Captain Durant can obey your orders. He is a good friend of Team Leader Peide and the captain of a squad of the Armed Police Corps."
Then he said, "I'll go look for him to see if he's here!"
Lu Ming nodded slightly.
Ten minutes later, a tall and strong police officer in black uniform came in with David. When he saw Lu Ming, the tall and strong police officer immediately stood at attention and saluted: "Your Excellency General! I am Durant, the captain of the first squad of the Armed Police Corps of the Gad Police Headquarters!"
Lu Ming raised his hand to return the greeting. In fact, the headquarters here is completely different from that in the Western Regions. The so-called state-level armed police headquarters is just a special police force of several hundred people. They are well-equipped with assault vehicles, probably similar to the Flying Tigers in the previous life.
A squad consists of only forty or fifty police officers.
Lu Ming looked at him and said, "Captain Durant, this is what happened. Half a month ago, the Scythe Party shot and killed several of our informants. I was going to the Gaston Building to investigate the situation. However, the Director is not here, and neither is your Chief Executive. This is an emergency."
David explained: "Captain Durant, you know that if an outsider enters Gaston Building, it will be impossible for him to come out alive, let alone arrest people, so..."
Before David could finish, Durant stood at attention and shouted, "General, the first squad is at your service at any time!"
Lu Ming nodded: "Okay, let's gather!"
…
Several assault vehicles, with lights flashing and sirens blaring, rushed towards the Gaston Building at lightning speed.
Lu Ming and Durant were sitting in a car.
Lu Ming said nothing, just closed his eyes and rested.
Durant sat in the aisle seat, silently checking the assault rifle in his hand.
Lu Ming suddenly asked: "Have you heard of me?"
Durant sat up straight immediately. "General, you are the commander-in-chief of more than 100,000 police officers in the Western Regions! You manage the public security of the entire Western Regions. The police force under your command eliminated countless rebels and bandits in the Battle of Jiahe, the Battle of Baishui, and the Battle of Hunhuo. The princely states dared not look west from then on, and the Western Regions were truly incorporated into the territory of the United Kingdom! I think that in the future, the history books of us Sonyans will record the general's great achievements!"
After a pause, he said loudly: "It is an honor for all the police officers in the First Squad to be able to serve the General!"
Lu Ming nodded and couldn't help but think of the call from Denitz in the morning.
The police brigades in the Western Regions simply refused to obey the command of the newly appointed Lieutenant General Nelson, and even declared that they would integrate into the local autonomous region and obey the Western Region Freedom Alliance unless General Bit returned to the Western Region.
Despite this, it was clear that the cabinet had rejected the possibility of reassigning himself back to the Western Regions.
Dönitz had to write a personal letter to the ten brigade commanders to calm them down.
However, these were communications conducted at the highest level, and the people below were unaware of the actual mutiny in the Western Regions.
