Features: This book provides a detailed introduction to the composition and working methods of the FBI. The FBI headquarters houses the world's most advanced criminal investigation technology laboratory. In its fingerprint identification and archives, there are approximately 175 million fingerprint records stored, handling over 25,000 fingerprint inquiries daily. Its electronic memory system stores about 6.5 million pieces of data, with police agencies nationwide connected via electronic terminals to access technical information within minutes. FBI agents employ numerous eavesdropping techniques, in addition to phone surveillance, they also install electronic monitoring devices such as microphones and recorders in the homes and offices of their targets. These listening devices are as small as a sugar cube and can be hidden in hats or pens. The FBI's targets are extremely broad, even including the President. This is a book about people's loss and search, introducing world-renowned special organizations, which are merely a branch of the millennium puzzle. It seems far from us, but when we are entangled in the torment of the process of decryption, we cannot refuse a strong impression: that each of us is engaged in a self-struggle from chaos to order. Nobility and humility, courage and cowardice torment us at the same time! As we read this series of books, the primal impulse of Mérimée's "Corsican Revenge" surges through our veins: we examine the CIA's emblem closely, and a sense of doubt about freedom and justice arises. Each of us feels an unease when facing the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, our souls are questioned: when there are still arrests without judicial approval and mysterious disappearances in the world, when citizens have not yet achieved the freedom from fear, can we easily say that humanity has seen the dawn of hope in the journey of alleviating suffering and achieving freedom? In this fascinating series of books, the author explores interestingly the famous cases in contemporary history, such as the chain of death in the Kennedy family, the truth behind the "poisonous tree" in the trial of the Luxembourg couple, the shootout in New York, and serial murders. Reading this series of books, readers will perceive the instability of the soul through the ordinary surface of life. This book involves the most typical stories of pain in our time, but its vibrant ecosystem will make even the most fragile readers feel courage surrounding them.
