Chapter 483 Killing with a Borrowed Knife
The exchange between Ye Zhou and Chen Hao finally set the tone for the official's attitude towards the maids and song organization. In just two hours, a comprehensive investigation and crackdown on the maids and song organization was launched nationwide.
A week later, a command room in the imperial capital.
The newly established urban rapid response force imperial capital branch, which is specifically targeted at the Pastoral Organization and other illegal organizations, is holding a tactical discussion. The team captain Qin Chuan stood in front of the big screen and introduced the basic situation of the operation.
"......We now have sufficient evidence to show that the Pastoral Organization has colluded with the representative of the "Natural Sect" of overseas castrationism. In the recent, it is currently speculated that within two weeks, a destruction action against key projects was planned to amplify the negative effects of these projects and thus arouse people's disgust for such projects."
"We don't know what their chosen target is for the time being, but judging from the current situation, the most likely selected are several large infrastructure projects, including the National Highway 318 expansion project, and the list is shown on the screen."
"According to relevant experts' speculation, their main strategies may include but are not limited to manufacturing engineering accidents, amplifying human-local disputes, hyping up ecological influences, inciting religious sentiment, etc. At the same time, considering the worst situation, we cannot rule out that members of the pastoral organization have already penetrated in these engineering projects."
“That is, we are in a very passive situation now.”
"The enemy is in darkness and I am in light. We know nothing about their identity, strategy, and goals, but we must intercept their actions based on existing conditions."
After listening to his words, one of the team members raised their hands and asked:
"Has there been no results in the early investigation of suspicious personnel in brother units?"
Qin Chuan shook his head and replied:
"No. What we are looking for now is not the suspect, but the member of a loose organization established in a distributed and decentralized form. The members of their members basically have legal identities and rarely deviate from the daily track. The criminal investigation methods we use are basically useless in them."
"To give a very simple example, under the current technical conditions, it is easy for us to find a black man who has no identity at all. However, it is basically impossible to identify whether an ordinary person is a populist, an elite, a radical, or an industrialist, because such a definition will not leave any record on any platform, it is maintained by pure spiritual qualities."
"Mu Ge is such an organization. Most of the time, you can't even feel the existence of this organization, but people who believe in his theory do get together. They are like those small fan groups on the Internet, which is a headache."
"What is even more unfavorable to us is that the key information of the maid song organization is in the hands of the upper class, and almost all the upper class will not communicate information about maid songs through the Internet or telephone, which completely invalidated our technical means."
"Even if they can locate their lower-level members, the information they listen to is extremely limited--it can be said that this information is completely fragmented, and we cannot piece together a complete clue for him."
The team members below nodded and continued to ask:
"Their upper level always needs to convey information to the lower level. Do we have this approach?"
"Yes, but very limited. The problem is here. We are in the cold start stage now, and there are few clues at hand, which is not enough to support us to continue to go deeper--but as long as we can take this step, they will never be able to jump around again."
Hearing Qin Chuan's words, everyone in the conference room immediately understood what he meant.
What the Quick Resistance Team lacks now is a cutting point, and what it lacks is a quick knife that can tear a hole in the fog outside the Madhya Organization.
The current madrassing organization is like a pickpocket who is completely hiding in the crowd to the Quick Resistance Team. It is almost impossible to discover him before he actually takes action.
"Didn't the people I caught before be reviewed?"
"What is reviewed is useless information and cannot reach the upper level. The Tongtianhe project is now the people's will. They will not rashly take action on this project. The previous destruction actions were just tests, and the ones that were scattered were abandoned."
"Can the undercover work?"
"It's too slow and there's no timeliness, we can't wait."
"Then there is nothing we can do, unless we sacrifice a project and lead them out."
The team members who were talking spread their hands and leaned on the chair helplessly.
In fact, from his perspective, the core demand of this task is to catch people. As long as people can catch them, all the problems that follow can be solved easily.
But the problem is that the most difficult part of the task is to catch people. Without any reliable clues, it is even more difficult to find the target person by relying on speculation than finding a needle in a haystack.
You should know that they have never conducted any illegal activities on a large scale, and discussions at the core level are limited to face-to-face and cannot be monitored.
This opponent is extremely cautious. Before the organization has achieved absolute influence, they would rather do nothing and give priority to ensuring their survival.
"If you can't help, just think of a way. Of course, it can be used to lead them to a project, but the problem is, we don't know if what they throw out will be the same abandoned children as those lower-level members in the Tongtianhe project in the early stage."
"From the current situation, their organization has a large number of members, and they can use one batch and give up one batch. Do we want to bet on the probability? Can we pry things out of the mouths of the people we caught this time?"
Looking at the awkward expression on the team members' faces, Qin Chuan sighed deeply.
As the commander-in-chief of the operation, he naturally understands the difficulty of this task better than others. If the normal case handling process is followed, they should collect evidence step by step, investigate the suspects one by one, and finally locate key clues for arrest.
This process is very accurate and safe, but the problem is that it is too slow.
Their imagination of the development speed of the pastoral song organization - of course, this was also influenced by the official previous drastic reform actions. A large number of elites who were dissatisfied with this were transformed into pastoral song members, which promoted the growth of the organization in disguise.
Now, they are about to launch their first challenge to the existing order, and they have no reliable clues at all.
He had thought that he might simply arrest all those who might have problems, but if he did this, how many people would he have to be arrested?
Thousands, tens of thousands, and hundreds of thousands?
In the current social environment, such actions will have a significant impact on the already fragile social order.
Thinking of this, Qin Chuan's brows were almost frowned.
His eyes swept over the team member who was bowing his head and pondering. When he was about to speak, a team member who was unshaven and looked a little unkempt, said:
"It really doesn't work, start from outside."
Qin Chuan turned his gaze to him and said:
"Tell me in detail."
The team member sat up straight, coughed and replied:
"Look, everyone, that's what I think."
"From my previous experience with various groups outside, their prudence is generally weaker than that of domestic groups."
"We have now confirmed that the Pastoral Organization has connections with the Natural Sect, so what connections do they have? It's definitely not the Internet--or else we'll have listened to it long ago."
"Theoretically, it should be through the linker set up in the country."
"Of course, this connector won't be fixed either, but that doesn't matter."
"Pastoralists do not use the Internet in the country, but people from the Natural Sect will use the Internet outside the country; Pastorals do not organize large-scale gatherings, but the Natural Sect will organize; all connections between Pastorals are one-way, but the Natural Sect is definitely two-way; Pastorals' current influence is still very weak, but the Natural Sect has begun to speak out on a large scale in the public field."
"So, if we can get the core information of the Natural Sect, then it is very likely that we can follow the clues to catch the pastoral members who are connected with them, and further, we can use these joiners to crack the structure of the entire pastoral organization."
"According to previous information, we still have about two weeks now. As long as we break through the natural sect within one week, the problem of pastoral song organization will be solved."
Hearing his words, Qin Chuan nodded slightly.
This is a good idea, but the problem is...
"How do you plan to get the Natural Sect? We can't do a large-scale overseas operation."
"We don't have to do it, they have enemies."
“For example…Hermes?”
.........
An hour later, on a small island in the Pacific Ocean, Hermes headquarters.
Bruce Conn looked at the letter that had just been delivered to his hand, and a smile appeared on his face.
At this moment, he had been waiting for too long.
Before receiving this letter, all his actions by him and Hermes were considered illegal, fanatical, and even antisocial, and even sociopathic, were generally extremely cautious to keep a distance from him even if the official did not actively interfere.
This situation led to the extremely difficult situation of the Hermes organization. The funds raised in the early stage have almost been exhausted, and the confidence of personnel has continued to decline. After all, before joining Hermes, the members felt that they were doing a just cause, but what happened later?
Is a cause that is unrecognized a just cause?
However, from today on, the situation will change drastically.
The Hermes organization received an application for a cooperative investigation from a civil group in China.
Bruce understands the meaning behind this ordinary civil group. If he can gain recognition from such a group, then at least prove that his direction is correct.
Of course, the other party does not want to reveal his identity, and the purpose of cooperating with one party is just to attack the natural sect and the pastoral organization, but what does it matter?
Hermes was originally an extremely sharp knife. As long as he was held in the right hand, he would not mind how to use it.
What's more, according to Bruce's experience, the person who wants to hold the knife is an experienced knight. Compared to himself, the other party knows better how to use the least strength to cut open the enemy's armor and cut off the enemy's throat.
So, he had no hesitation at all.
After the call was re-energized, the entire Hermes organization took action quickly under his dispatch, and their target was only one:
The headquarters of a natural sect organization located in a neutral country.
The task is difficult and the time is limited, but fortunately... Hermes can do anything.
Chapter completed!
