Chapter 1125 Information
After staying in the city of death for a long time, Tan Bin felt that people would become very sensitive, and any slight disturbance would startle the audience, not to mention that he was an agent of Blackwater, so he was even more sensitive in this regard.
If you are not sensitive, you will die.
Right under Tan Bin's nose, three of the top spies who followed him to the City of Death have already died. Fortunately, these three people entered the City of Death in other identities, and were not involved in the carriage.
Since the beginning of this year, the investment in Wushi City has continued to increase. As far as Tan Bin knows, his funds have doubled again. The same is true for personnel, men, women, and children. Then it was collected layer by layer into his hands.
Of course, among these people, the people on the ninth floor didn't know who they were working for, and they were just sent here after being trained harshly. These people have their own way of hiding their identities. Either a carpenter, or a cook, or a desperado, and an outdated diva
With more people, Tan Bin's pressure increased accordingly. Although he understood that the job of a spy was to dance on the verge of life and death, he still hoped to avoid the death of his spies as much as possible.
Secret agents would die miserably if they were caught, and it was almost impossible to die quickly.
So many times spies are not afraid of death, but rather that life is worse than death.
The three top spies mentioned just now died without a sound, and even now they can't even find a body. The only thing that is certain is that they didn't talk too much, because even if they wanted to talk too much, there was nothing they could do.
One pill in the morning and one pill in the evening. If the time passes, you will die. The pills are placed separately by themselves. The top spies have the determination to die. The defense is that they cannot withstand the torture. Once they are captured, they can still resist for half a day. After that, they don't have to worry about it.
There is really no way, it is exposed piece by piece. Unless it's a regional intelligence leader like Tan Bin, he can't get involved with Heishui, let alone Heiqiying.
In fact, Heishui has been researching the deadly poison that can be embedded in the back molars for spies to prevent accidents, but the safety has always been a little bit worse. It is said that Mr. Shen has ordered to get it out before the end of this year. If there was that kind of medicine, the spies would suffer less.
Including Tan Bin himself, took the medicine in the same way.
Although the life is trembling, there are still some gains, and with the car and horse business taking root in the dead city, coupled with the new generation of sky eyes in the Gemei air conditioner, the collected information has gradually begun to be able to be mastered independently, and it is no longer a You can only rely on informants to spend money to buy them.
For example, the Zhengyang sect, which is the focus of intelligence, although the sect of this pseudo-evil cultivator is inconspicuous in the city of death, it is definitely not simple. It took a lot of effort and thought for Tan Bin's spies to get in touch with these people. Although the collected information is superficial, it can be regarded as progress, and the side confirms the authenticity of a lot of information.
For example, Zhengyangzong will regularly take away a group of slaves, all of whom are young children or half-grown children. Most of these children were taken captive from the Jingjiu Dynasty. Those who did this were human traffickers in the Jingjiu Dynasty. Although there were casual cultivators involved, most of them were ordinary people.
However, the Jingjiu Dynasty has strictly controlled the human trafficking. No one can do it except the dentist. If they find out, they will be beheaded. There is no other punishment. Regardless of vehicle or boat, anyone with children or women must check the road guides and documents to prove their identity, otherwise they will be taken into custody.
Therefore, the children taken away by the Zhengyang Sect were also involved in a human trafficking network that spread throughout the territory of the Jingjiu Dynasty. If we dig deeper, it will definitely be another big case.
In fact, the investigation of this case has already begun, starting from the channel through which these children entered the city of death, and going back to investigate.
As far as Tan Bin knows, Zhengyangzong has not taken in a large number of children for three months, only a few here and there.
And according to intelligence feedback, Zhengyangzong became much more active than before after lacking a source of children. Not only took the initiative to contact several black merchants in the city of Wushi, but also expressed their willingness to the retail traders who they usually look down upon, as long as they are under fifteen years old, regardless of gender, and the price has directly increased by 50%.
The so-called "black merchants" are actually of the same nature as the black market in the Jingjiu dynasty, except that the black merchants can buy and sell far more things than the black market in the Jingjiu dynasty, and they can accept more commissions. There is no lower limit, as long as you give them enough from the price.
And there are rumors that there are three leaders behind the black merchants who are secretly supporting them, otherwise they would have been swallowed up long ago.
Compared with the mysterious and powerful black merchants, the shopkeepers who walk around the streets in the city of death are much worse, and it is not an exaggeration to pick up some leftovers that black merchants don't want. Moreover, there is no guarantee for trading with peddlers, and even scammers who specialize in deceiving people pretend to be peddlers and wander around the city.
Of course, those who can contact black merchants and afford the price of black merchants will not go to shopkeepers. Generally, people who are looking for shopkeepers have no choice but to gamble on luck.
The Zhengyang Sect is the latter type, and they are also gambling on luck, hoping to recruit another batch of needed children from any channel.
No one knew why Zhengyangzong wanted so many children, and no one asked. But everyone knew that when these children entered Zhengyangzong's gate, they were animals that entered the slaughterhouse, and their fate was already doomed.
In addition, Zhengyangzong collects far more than just children, there are also a large number of medicinal materials, which are numerous and frequent. But there has never been a finished elixir from Zhengyangzong.
In fact, before paying attention to Zhengyangzong, those Erdao traffickers or informants in the entire city of Wushi who were also taking care of intelligence didn't care much about Zhengyangzong. Because although this sect has a mysterious origin, its presence in the city of Wushi is really very low. Don't get into conflict with others, and don't get too close to other forces.
But when Tan Bin began to mobilize his staff to slowly observe Zhengyangzong, he realized that Zhengyangzong is not a low-key sect. They just always break up their behavior and look less attractive Just pay attention.
Without further ado, it is questionable to say that these medicinal materials that can only be imported and not exported are full of doubts.
Where did the medicinal materials come from? If it was made into a pill, Zhengyangzong would not be able to use it up, so where did the rest of the pill go? Or could it be said that these medicinal materials just passed Zhengyangzong's hands, and there is another place to go later?
Also, many of the medicinal materials Zhengyang Zong imported were not cheap, even precious medicinal materials. Where did Zhengyang Zong get such a large sum of money?
Combined with the intelligence mission assigned to Tan Bin recently, he felt that he should have gotten a very important piece of information.
But it's a pity that the internal situation of Zhengyangzong is still unknown, and even relying on informants can't get a deep understanding. It takes time to brew, but also an opportunity.
"Perhaps, you can change your mind."
