Zhongdu, Imperial Investigation Bureau.
For the past one hundred years or so, he has been watching the whole world!
world!
Although there has been no war in this world for many years, in fact, war has never stopped, and the Imperial Investigation Bureau is the most important ruler of this invisible war.
"The shield and sword of the empire!"
This sentence has been his belief since the establishment of the Investigation Bureau.
The sound of hurried footsteps echoed in the spacious corridor, and then stopped in front of an office.
"Chief, there is an emergency!"
The agent holding the folder walked to the desk and placed the folder on the desk.
"A dormant account has been awakened."
"oh!"
Sitting behind the desk, the gray-haired old man raised his eyebrows and said.
“What type of account is it?”
Dormant account!
This is the secret of the Investigation Bureau, it can be said to be a top secret. Until now, only His Majesty the Emperor himself and the Investigation Bureau knew this secret. Those accounts were created during the first generation and were mainly used for the Investigation Bureau's secret investments. The profits obtained were used to pay for the Investigation Bureau's secret operations.
More than a hundred years ago, the funds in the secret accounts were already astronomical figures, and now... it is an unimaginable amount of funds. Those funds have never been supervised by the Imperial Advisory Council and have always been wandering on the gray edge, but it is precisely because of those funds that the Imperial Bureau of Investigation has the opportunity to carry out many secret operations.
And what are those covert operations?
It is the shield and sword of the empire!
It is also the fundamental guarantee of peace under the empire.
After the "Second Vienna System", there has been no war for more than a hundred years. What is the reason for the absence of war?
It was the Imperial Bureau of Investigation that nipped many early signs of war in the bud.
But this requires money!
And it requires a lot of money!
The money was provided by secret accounts. Although most of the funds in those secret accounts were used for investment, there were still many huge cash accounts, but they had been dormant.
Now some dormant accounts have been awakened, how is this possible?
Because he didn't wake up at all!
"Director, this account is a Category 1 account."
"Category 1? Does His Majesty have any dormant accounts?"
One type of account is only accessible to His Majesty, but as far as he knows, His Majesty has no dormant accounts. Of course, the royal family must have their own secret accounts.
"We don't know, but the last time that account was activated was in the 42nd year of Sidley Scott."
"What!"
The old man behind the desk stood up suddenly.
"Are you talking about the confidential accounts from the Shengde years?"
"Yes, Director. The funds in the account have been transferred away. I am concerned that this may be related to the Advisory Council investigation."
The reason why he mentioned the investigation of the Imperial Advisory Council was because those guys had been eyeing the Imperial Bureau of Investigation, wanting to interfere in the bureau's internal affairs and bring the bureau under their supervision.
However, with the support of the emperor, their conspiracy did not succeed, but it does not mean that they will give up this plan. In the past few years, they have been investigating the investigation bureau, and secret accounts are the focus.
"Send someone immediately... No,"
The old man frowned and thought for a while. Then he picked up the receiver of the landline phone from the desk and dialed a number.
"Hello? It's me. We're in big trouble. Something happened..."
…
Almost on the same day that Zhu Xianhai arrived in Mexico, a supersonic passenger plane took off from Zhongdu and landed at Roosevelt Airport. It was snowing heavily in New York at that time. While people from the southern hemisphere were happily admiring the snowflakes, a passenger wearing sunglasses and a black tweed coat directly stopped a taxi.
A moment later the taxi disappeared into the street.
About an hour later, the taxi stopped in front of an old red brick building. It looked like the building was at least a hundred years old. It was located in the port area and was rebuilt after the imperial bombardment.
After getting off the car, the man looked around for a while to make sure no one was following him, then he walked up the stairs and knocked on the door. At the same time, he looked up and saw a surveillance camera facing the door. He looked at the camera for a while, and then the door in front of him opened by itself with a click.
He pushed the door open and walked in slowly. Behind the door was a long corridor, the lights on the wall were a little dim, the dilapidated corridor walls were covered with graffiti, and the door of the room at the end of the corridor was open.
"Close the door, 007!"
An old voice came from the room.
The visitor turned around and closed the door. After entering the room, he saw an old man sitting in front of a bunch of computer screens, which was behind his workbench.
It was not until the man walked up to him that he looked at him and asked curiously:
"I don't know what kind of mission sent you here, but... Level 00 Agent, I have worked in the Bureau all my life, and this is the first time I have seen you."
The old man took off his glasses and rubbed his sore eyes, then put them back on and looked at the person in front of him. To them, the Level 00 agents would always be legends. There were even rumors in the Investigation Bureau that the first generation of Level 00 agents were trained personally by Emperor Shengde and were the trump cards of the empire.
No one has ever known what they did, but one thing is certain: they all made great contributions to the empire.
Now, a living level 00 agent appeared before their eyes, and they might not be surprised.
He looked at him and said:
"I don't understand why you came here?"
The old man looked at the other person sensitively, and suddenly frowned and said:
"It should be a big event...otherwise they wouldn't have sent you here?"
"Hey, relax a little, you know, all we need is to complete the task instead of wondering why, right?"
The visitor spoke in fluent English:
"I need some help from you!"
The visitor then said.
"I need an NYPD ID, and a weapon..."
Soon the old man met his request. When he left, the old man was still wondering what kind of mission would make the FBI send such an ace agent over.
…
"Hello, Miss Alexandra."
When the voice reached her ears, Alexandra looked up and saw a handsome man with a mixed-race look.
who is he?
"I'm Officer Mark from the New York Police Department. I have a case right now that requires your cooperation."
"Officer, is there anything I can help you with?"
Alexandra gave a professional smile.
"Ten days ago, on November 3, at 10:15 a.m., you performed a money transfer for someone else, right?"
Mark said, looking at Alexandra.
"The account used by the other party is an old account."
Hearing this, Alexandra was stunned at first, then smiled and said,
"Sir, you know that the principle of the Imperial Bank is to always keep customer confidentiality. If you need it, you can apply for permission from the court first. If you have permission, I think the bank will cooperate with your investigation."
"No,"
Shaking his head, Mark took out a photo directly and asked.
"I need a favor from you, Miss Alexandra. Is this the business he handles?"
Looking at the person in the photo, Alexandra was stunned. It was him, but the photo was not from a bank surveillance camera, but a photo taken by a roadside ATM.
"What?"
Alexandra denied it instinctively.
"who is he?"
Although her tone didn't sound strange, her words had no effect on the other party. Just a moment of strange expression gave the other party the answer.
"Thank you, Miss Alexandra."
"What?"
Looking at the confused woman, Officer Mark laughed:
"Miss, you are a good person. When you lie, your speech speed becomes faster and your eyes look sincere. Well, okay, thank you, Miss!"
