Chapter 7, The Mysterious Organization (Part 1)
Yi Mochen smiled: "This is the reason I sought your help. I have been searching for the Rabu, because what they are doing now is similar to the Rabu, only the Japanese are more organized than the Rabu, but perhaps not as professional as the Rabu."
Tang Qianlin nodded silently
I will soon address the aspects you are interested in, so please do not rush. Yi Mocheng smiled slightly and continued to flip through the notebook. There is a special studio under the Registration Research Institute, known as the 'Natural Research Studio.' The name may not seem unusual, but they have long collaborated with the Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Unit of the Kwantung Army, researching and developing various poisons extracted from plants and animals. I believe your senior brother died from a certain poison studied by this studio.
Yi Mochen glanced inside and lowered his voice: "Because of love"
As soon as Yi Mocheng's voice fell, the two entered the innermost room of the cellar. The temperature inside the room was not much different from that outside; although it was underground, it was remarkably dry. It seemed that when Yi Mocheng's ancestors excavated and constructed this cellar, they employed some special method.
Yi Mochen, however, smiled and said: "Do not forget, I am also a madman, and so are you. When three madmen come together, they often manage to accomplish things that are unexpected."
Who is he?" the man asked in a stiff manner in Chinese
Tang Qianlin shook his head slightly: "I do not know, but I now know that this little Tianjun is a madman"
This is Mr. Xiaotian," Yi Mocheng simply introduced, "my private doctor
Tang Qianlin said: "Unsolved mysterious events?"
Tang Qianlin frowned: "Why?"
That year, an influenza outbreak occurred, and Lieutenant Oda and other military doctors were assigned to treat the patients. Lieutenant Oda temporarily changed the medication, resulting in the poisoning of his fellow military doctors and a large number of Japanese gendarmes. He also tortured the gendarmerie officer who had led the capture of his beloved for a day and a night.
Ultimately, the organization established at that time was merely a governmental institution. They would dispel rumors and make the truth public, but if they truly encountered certain mysterious events that they could not explain or resolve, they would also choose to keep them forever sealed away
That person closed the window on the door and finally opened the door
Tang Qianlin pondered for a moment and asked, "What is the purpose of the Japanese?"
Yi Mochen explained: "He was previously a military doctor in the Kwantung Army, holding the rank of Major. After arriving in China, he fell in love with a woman, but this woman was suspected of being a communist and was taken away by the gendarmerie. She was then sent to the epidemic prevention and water supply unit, where she was killed as a test subject. In order to avenge his beloved, Xiaotian endured for more than a year and finally found an opportunity for revenge..."
Yi Mochen, after listening to Tang Qianlin's words, said: "The Japanese have a very simple goal, which is to uncover secrets and put them to use"
As Xiaotian turned and walked inside, Tang Qianlin quietly asked, "Japanese?"
Tang Qianlin said: "What?"
Tang Qianlin shook his head slightly: "I do not trust the Japanese."
"Dissection?" Tang Qianlin frowned and said, "You moved my senior brother's corpse?"
Tang Qianlin nodded silently: "This seems to have little to do with what you want to say"
Yi Mochen walked back: "He is an exception, he is different from other Japanese people, he is a wanted criminal in Japan, and the Kwantung Army is still searching for him all over Northeast China."
Tang Qianlin returned the documents to Yi Mocheng and said, "Please continue."
The containers are filled with either the corpses of animals or the whitened limbs of humans soaked in liquid. The most terrifying sight is a large transparent container placed on Xiaotian's desk, which contains the severed head of a woman with long hair.
In addition to developing various intelligence special operations equipment, the Registration Research Institute is also responsible for the production of counterfeit currency. The fake legal tender they forged, issued by Chongqing, has nearly reached the level of being indistinguishable from the genuine article
Tang Qianlin looked at the skeletal-faced Xiao Tianjun and politely nodded his head
The phrase "to resolve the doubts of the world" is precisely the purpose of the intelligence department known as the Zha Bu. When this department was established in the Ming Dynasty thousands of years ago, it was merely a subordinate organization of the Imperial Guard, with functions similar to those of criminal investigation officers. In later periods, as the Imperial Guard transformed into the Jinyiwei, and due to the context of the Korean War during the Wanli era, rumors proliferated among the populace, and tales of the supernatural became widespread. Many individuals from the underworld seized the opportunity to establish various religious sects based on folk legends to amass wealth. The common people, lacking enlightenment and already ignorant, became deeply convinced of these beliefs under the influence of their propaganda and brainwashing.

Oda-kun?" Yi Mochen did not see Oda-kun's trace, and then looking at the head in the container, he whispered to Tang Qianlin, "Do you see? That is the head of his beloved. We have gone to great lengths to retrieve this one head.
The mansion of Yi Mocheng is quite peculiar. Take the first and second floors as an example: you can clearly see the corridor on the second floor while sitting in the living room on the first floor, yet to go up, one must take a large detour. In Yi Mocheng's words, it is because his family possesses too many treasures, and his ancestors were concerned about the frequent visits of thieves, so they simply designed it to resemble a half maze. Those unfamiliar with the place can easily get lost.
Yi Mochen said: "Open the door, I am not here to kill you"
Upon hearing the words "Secret Search Class," Tang Qianlin pondered for a moment and asked, "What does that mean?"
Tang Qianlin looked at the name on the document—South Manchuria Railway Company
After Yi Mocheng finished speaking, he turned and left, and Tang Qianlin had no choice but to follow him to the cellar
Tang Qianlin could not explain clearly to Yi Mocheng in one sentence. After much thought, he simply said five words: "To resolve doubts for the world"
Yi Mochen smiled and said: "His purpose is to resurrect his beloved."
His life is in my hands; if he steps out of this house, he will die, and he does not wish to die. His greatest interest at the moment is Frankenstein.
Tang Qianlin asked: "Can he be trusted?"
Tang Qianlin still uttered those two words: "Madman!"
Yi Mochen walked towards the door. After taking two steps, he realized that Tang Qianlin had not followed. He turned around and looked at Tang Qianlin, who was still standing there, and asked: "What’s wrong?"
Yi Mochen said: "If we do not dissect it, how can we know what poison it contains? What if in the future the Japanese use this method against us as well?"
Yi Mochen countered with a question: "Then what is the purpose of your investigation into these peculiar matters?"
Upon seeing the woman's left eye, wide open in shock, Tang Qianlin could not help but shudder all over and quickly averted his gaze
Tang Qianlin asked, "But I still do not understand your purpose; you do not merely wish to seize business, do you?"
Certainly, this is not only due to the maturity of the technology at the Registration Research Institute, but also because of the long-term intelligence support provided by an institution
"Father, I am tired." Tang Zicheng tugged at Tang Qianlin's clothing, his eyes barely able to stay open
Tang Qianlin frowned: "What is it?"
Yes, the Japanese, here, the best surgeons are all damn Japanese
That is a British novel, telling the story of a doctor who uses some strange means to bring the dead back to life. Yi Mochen turned and walked inside, "Therefore, his greatest interest now is to study various corpses, whether human or animal."
Tang Qianlin said: "I also like it, but unfortunately, I have always preferred to venture alone"
Yi Mochen took out a yellowed and old identification document and handed it to Tang Qianlin, saying: "Take a look at this."
Yi Mochen shook his head and said: "Don't forget, you and I are engaged in a business transaction. Business is inherently risky; you can take risks alone, but you absolutely cannot conduct business alone. Have you ever seen someone doing business with themselves?"
After a long time, the small window on the door finally opened, revealing a pair of deeply sunken eyes. After glancing at Yi Mochen, they fixed their gaze on Tang Qianlin.
Yi Mochen said softly: "Do you know what that officer looked like when he was found?"
When they arrived at the cellar door, Yi Mocheng reached out and knocked on the door, then turned back and smiled at Tang Qianlin
The person known as Xiao Tianjun showed no signs of expression, still gazing at Tang Qianlin, his gloved hands trembling slightly, seemingly very nervous
Tang Qianlin did not understand: "What does 'Kabushiki Kaisha' mean?"
Yi Mochen continued to explain: "The secret investigation course I mentioned earlier was established under the leadership of these two organizations. Their main task is to investigate all mysterious and unresolved incidents that occur within the Northeast region."
Yi Mochen smiled and said, "My purpose is to seek adventure"
The original focus of the Registration Research Institute was on the development of intelligence equipment, used for counter-espionage, espionage, strategy, and propaganda. The demand for counter-espionage was primarily supplied to the Kwantung Army and the Military Police, while espionage and strategy were mainly supplied to various intelligence agencies, with the foremost being the Cabinet Intelligence Bureau under the Japanese Ministry of Home Affairs
Tang Qianlin followed behind and after a long while, he uttered two words: "Madman"
However, the various bottles and containers in the room, along with the strange odors emanating from them, made Tang Qianlin feel very uncomfortable
When Tang Qianlin walked out of the guest room, Yi Mocheng said to him: "Go to the cellar, the dissection is almost complete"
Tang Qianlin smiled and said: "I have seen it, you are indeed the one. Merchants of ill repute always conduct business with themselves."
Under this premise, the Liao capture finally became independent from the Jinyiwei, quietly stepping onto the historical stage, shouldering the responsibilities of stabilizing public sentiment, dispelling rumors, and resolving doubts for the world
That is the term used by the Japanese for a joint-stock company. This institution was established by the Japanese government in the 32nd year of the Guangxu era as a special agency. On the surface, it appears to be a business company, but behind the scenes, it collects intelligence on various aspects of our country, including military, political, economic, social, and cultural information. " Yi Mochen pointed to the document in Tang Qianlin's hand, "This document was obtained by me in the past; it has long been useless now, and I keep it as a collection.
The term refers to the Secret Investigation Division, which was jointly established by the Japanese Army's 9th Research Institute, the South Manchuria Railway Company Investigation Department, and the Japanese Army's Bamboo Agency. Yi Mochen took out the notebook from his pocket and looked at the records on it. The Japanese Army's 9th Research Institute is located in Japan, and due to its proximity to the Denbu Station near Japanese rice fields, it is publicly referred to as the Denbu Research Institute. After the Japanese established Manchukuo, they set up a branch of this research institute in Northeast China, which is publicly known as the 9th Division of the Manchukuo Security Bureau.
The long hair of the woman in the container obscured half of her face, allowing Tang Qianlin to only see the closed eye on the right side of her face. When the hair floated apart in the solution, Tang Qianlin finally saw clearly that the woman's left eye was open, no, to be precise, it was wide open.
After the door opened, Tang Qianlin saw a person at the entrance wearing a blood-stained white coat, with a mask hanging from their right ear. The person swayed slightly, giving the impression that their emaciated body could collapse at any moment.
Tang Qianlin raised his eyes to look at Yi Mocheng, who stood up and led Tang Zicheng to the guest room, waiting at the door for Tang Qianlin to lull the child to sleep
