The core of the Surveillance Section's work is to conduct non-offence surveillance of suspects in the absence of evidence or insufficient evidence.

The key word here is: do not break the law.

These include: lawful acts and acts that are not lawful or illegal.

Judicial work is mainly divided into three areas of work according to legal boundaries: legal, illegal, illegal, and unlawful.

Legitimate judicial work is widespread, and both the prosecution and the police carry out this part of the work.

There are also cases of illegal judicial work, such as the police forcibly searching a suspect's home without a warrant, which is an offence.

Of course, such violations are expressly prohibited, and with the continuous improvement of law enforcement, such violations are gradually decreasing.

The last type is judicial work that is neither legal nor illegal.

This kind of behavior is common in the course of interrogation, in order to obtain information, the interrogator usually uses some illegal and illegal means to question the interrogated person, so as to achieve the goal.

Kim Yun-ho has used this interrogation technique before, and other judicial workers have more or less done it.

This kind of behavior is controversial and a burden for law enforcement, so it is not commonly used.

However, for the Surveillance Section, this illegal and illegal act has to be used on a large scale.

How to determine whether an action is illegal and how to ensure that it is not illegal are the top priorities. Coupled with the fact that tracking actions requires great skill and quality.

Therefore, surveillance work requires a high level of professionalism on the part of commanders and executors.

At present, there are no sizable personnel within the South Korean police who meet the requirements of the tracking team.

This is also Kim Yunho's biggest headache.

After understanding the situation, Yin Guohong also made a mistake: "Yes, not only is there no one in the police, but even in our prosecution, there is no one who specializes in tracking work." ”

Shen Donghai asked weakly on the side: "When the criminal police handle cases, don't they often follow the suspect?" Neither can the criminal police? ”

Kim Yunhao shook his head and decisively vetoed: "No! The so-called tracking of the criminal police is only the most rudimentary, and the purpose is mainly to understand simple issues such as the scope of the suspect's activities and social relations.

The task of tracking the proposed surveillance section is much more complex, and it is not only necessary to grasp the basic issues such as the scope of the suspect's activities. It is also necessary to investigate and collect evidence in a follow-up manner.

The difficulty level of the two is no longer the same.

In addition, the work style of the criminal police is relatively extensive.

With a legal basis, it won't be too much of a problem for them to follow the suspect. But once there is no legal basis, this kind of extensive work style will be a big deal. ”

Kim Yun-ho did not go into details. But Shen Donghai understood and figured it out.

After thinking about it, the criminal police have not received professional training, and it is really inappropriate to engage in that kind of professional tracking work.

In addition, the atmosphere of their judicial work is too strong to be easily recognized. Thus exposing stalking behavior.

"But are there any people in South Korea who specialize in tracking?" Shen Donghai asked.

Kim Yunho didn't answer, and Yin Guohong took over the topic on the side: "Yes!" NIS - The National Intelligence Service of South Korea has a large number of agents, many of whom have been engaged in tracking work. ”

This is also what Yin Guohong just thought, he turned his head to look at Kim Yunhao and asked:

"Kim Ji, have you considered the agents of the NIS?"

Kim Yunho nodded: "I thought about it." At this time, only agents of NIS meet the selection criteria of the tracking group. ”

Shen Donghai was a little confused, and asked, "Isn't this problem solved?" Isn't it over when we go to NIS to pick people? ”

"It's not that simple." Kim Yunho replied: "First of all, there is the issue of procedures, and the surveillance department has not yet been formally established, so there will be some problems in handling procedures. And the agents didn't necessarily want to come.

Secondly. Even if they found the right agents, they would be willing to come, but it was hard to say whether NIS would let them go.

Finally, and most difficultly, NIS was once the largest administrative agency in South Korea, so many agents, how do we choose? ”

The first two problems he mentioned are actually easy to handle, but the big deal is for Park Guoquan and the police to come forward to solve them, and there are not many people in the tracking team, so I believe that the problem is not big.

The most difficult thing is this selection criterion. Kim Yun-ho is also the first time that the eldest girl has been on the sedan chair, and she really can't think of a suitable selection standard for a while.

"Hey, that's the problem! What's so hard about this, it's a big deal that we're going to interview all the agents. Let's see which one is better to choose which one is not the same? ”

Shin Donghae is a man of action and is not good at using his brain.

But this time, Shin Donghae may really be right.

Instead of meditating here and having no clue, it is better to go to the scene to understand the situation and make plans.

"Okay, just do as you say. Let's take a look first. ”

………

After discussing the main matter, of course, Kim Yunhao and the three of them will not rest and sit and wait for the dawn.

The three of them split up to find out more about the laws and knowledge related to the follow-up work.

In the middle of the night, Kim Yun-ho made a special phone call to Professor Paul, a teacher in the United States, and asked Paul to give him some guidance.

Paul was a noble person in Kim Yoon-ho's life, not only imparting him knowledge of micro-expressions, but also helping him a lot in other ways.

Kim Yun-ho's first promotion mainly relied on the FBI thank you letter that Paul got.

This time, Professor Luo still did not disappoint Kim Yunhao, and he got a lot of tracking information for Kim Yunhao through his good relationship with the FBI director.

With these materials as a reference, coupled with his experience of following the FBI in the United States, he has found some clues.

So Kim Yun-ho fought at night, sorted out and familiarized himself with the information all night, and rushed to make a simple selection criteria overnight.

――

NIS headquarters is located in Daemusan, Seocho-gu, Seoul, across the street from the Gangnam District Prosecutors' Office, and its main building is a fan-shaped building built in 1995, covering an area of 560,000 square meters.

According to data released by the outside world, the number of people working in the NIS headquarters has reached 8,000. It is said that a total of 300,000 people work for this body, including the informants who provided it with information.

These are all relevant materials found by Shen Donghai and Yin Guohong last night.

After Kim Yoon-ho was discharged from the hospital, he returned to Seoul and first came to the NIS headquarters.

Today's goal is to visit NIS for the first time and get a general idea of what is going on.

After driving to the NIS headquarters, Kim Yoon-ho and his party underwent the strictest inspection, and they began to realize how mysterious and serious the place they came from.

After entering the NIS headquarters, Kim Yun-ho was most impressed by a stone engraved with the motto of the institute in front of the building, which reads: "Anonymous dedication to freedom and truth."

Like all intelligence agencies around the world, the NIS promotes its staff as the unsung heroes of the nation.

There is also a commemorative stone plaque of the NIS sacrificed personnel next to the training stone. There are many stars engraved on it.

Under the explanation of the security personnel, Kim Yunhao learned that each star represents a sacrificed intelligence officer, a total of 46 stars......

There are no names or honors for the fallen intelligence officers. As with the motto of the NIS, the intelligence officers who work here are unsung heroes.

Every country, every nation has its own heroes. Regardless of nationality or race, these unsung heroes deserve to be feared.

With this admiration, Kim Yoon-ho and the three walked into the NIS headquarters building accompanied by guards.

The people who received them were quite high-level. It turned out to be a deputy director in charge of personnel work.

"Welcome to your arrival, the general situation was reported to us by the police and the prosecution last night, I didn't expect you, the leader, to move so quickly, and arrived today."

Jin Yunhao said modestly and said: "You praised it, the main reason for coming here today is to understand the situation and check the list of candidates."

You also know that our department is newly formed, everything is to cross the river by feeling the stones, and personnel are the top priority, so it is inevitable to trouble you. ”

The deputy director had a kind expression. Very kind: "Where, where, it's all needed for work." If you have any difficulties, you can pick and choose. Value which one is given to you.

To be honest, you also choose people to help us solve our troubles, and I personally hope that your department will continue to expand and help us solve more of the placement of agents......."

Under the explanation of the deputy director, Kim Yunhao understood why the other party was so enthusiastic.

NIS's loneliness was worse than expected.

As the scope of functions continues to shrink and the business becomes less and less, NIS is facing tremendous pressure to lay off agents.

Originally, NIS had more than 7,000 agents on the front line to gather intelligence. The scenery is for a while. Such a large number of people is also one of the things that NIS has always been most proud of.

However, after the business was reduced, this huge group of people became a huge burden for NIS. Many agents return home from overseas with nothing to do, and NIS doesn't have as much work to do with them.

The main leaders of NIS also have gray hair because of this.

Kim Yun-ho didn't have many people to choose, just a few agents.

But the deputy director still received him very warmly. Now there are a few jobs that can be solved, and he is not too few.

In addition, although Kim Yun-ho only selects a few agents, once the Surveillance Section develops into the Surveillance Department, there will be more agents in demand, and there will be dozens or hundreds of agents.

This would do NIS a great favor.

It is precisely because of this expectation of Kim Yoon-ho and the Surveillance Division. The deputy director will be so easy to speak.

When Kim Yun-ho pointed out that the surveillance department had not yet been officially established and there were some problems in the formalities, the deputy director waved his hand indifferently:

"These are minor issues, and since the police and the prosecution are jointly promoting this matter, the formalities are not a big problem, it is just a matter of time or time.

And our agents don't care about these problems, they are used to working silently, and they really don't care about that little work card. As long as there is a salary, it will do.

Don't be afraid of your jokes, many of the agents on duty have been on their base pay for months on end. Many people have wives and children, and life is too stressful.

We're ashamed of these people who have given so much......"

In order to avoid the chatter deputy director from talking too much, Kim Yunhao immediately made a guarantee: "You can rest assured, although there are some problems in the procedures, the salary will not be in arrears, and it is very generous." ”

Kim Yunho just wanted to interrupt the deputy director's complaint and reassure the other party, but he didn't think that this would cause him a little trouble. (To be continued.) )
