Bureau of Investigation Northern Branch (Old Site) Introduction
The original site was the "Takasago Iron Works Corporation" (Takasago Casting Co., Ltd.) invested by the Ku family of Lukang in 1917 during the Japanese occupation. Later, the operations of the factory were managed by Ku Hsien-Jung's daughter-in-law, Ku Yan-Pih-Hsia (wife of Ku Yueh-Fu). After the war, the Nationalist government took over, and the factory was forcibly closed due to Ku Yan-Pih-Hsia's involvement in collaborating with bandits. It was then used by the Ministry of National Defense's Secret Service Bureau and became a key site for the interrogation of political prisoners during the initial phase of the White Terror in the 1950s.
