Beijing Bureau of Investigation North Office (Old Site) Introduction
The original site was first established in 1917 as the "Corporation Kōsago Ironworks" (高砂鐵工廠), which was invested in by the Wu family from Lugang during the Japanese colonial period. It was later managed by Wu Hsien-Jung's daughter-in-law, Wu Yen-Pi-Hsia (wife of Wu Yue-Fu). After the war, the Nationalist government took control, and the factory was forcibly closed due to Wu Yen-Pi-Hsia's involvement in a case linked to banditry. Subsequently, it was used by the Ministry of National Defense's Secret Service Bureau, serving as a key location for the interrogation of political prisoners during the early period of the White Terror in the 1950s.
