Leon understood what Wein meant: "In order to avoid the risk of this document being seized by Duke Hohenlohe, Titan Industries chose to rely on the Blood Howler Gang's smuggling line to transport it?"
"This is just a conjecture, but the possibility is not small." Wein said, "If this document falls into the hands of the Grand Duke, whether he chooses to make it public directly, causing a huge blow to the Titan Industry and the Central Region, or secretly extort
The consequences of controlling the high-level officials involved are unbearable for those people."
"But this document fell into Stephen's hands for some reason." Leon washed the dishes and wiped the water on the countertop, "I feel like there should be a tortuous experience in it..."
"I have to say that I did not expect that Stephen would have such an explosive document. In my expectation, the things Marshall found should be more 'peaceful', such as the dirty things that Stephen had done for the Blood Howlers over the years.
Dirty and dirty things."
"Uh, like?"
"In recent years, there have always been some inexplicable disappearances within Caspars' Titan Industries, as well as the tax bureau, audit bureau and other institutions. Most of the business those people were handling before disappearing was relatively sensitive and had nothing to do with Titan Industries.
'Relevant, it's hard not to wonder if they discovered some privacy from it and were killed and silenced." Wein wrote the names of several institutions on the blackboard, "And at Stephen's residence, the Solemnity Bureau searched
A notebook with the names of those missing, along with their addresses and amounts of money."
"Could it be..." Leon swallowed, "Stephen 'dealt' with them?"
"Isn't this an obvious thing?" Wein said with a smile, "Stephen is a mid-level extraordinary person. Even if he is not a professional assassin, with his strength, it is not difficult for ordinary people to disappear quietly."
Leon nodded: "Stephen was hired by the Blood Howler Gang, but he was to kill people and silence them for the Titan Industry. Perhaps the job of killing people and silence was outsourced by the Titan Industry to the Blood Howler Gang, in order to prevent them from soiling their hands. And Blood
If the Howl Gang lacks its own hard power, it can only rely on hiring extraordinary people like Stephen to handle its business."
"Colossus Industries" outsourced the killing and extermination work to the Blood Howler Gang, and used the Blood Howler Gang's smuggling lines to transport goods, even the extremely important and secret documents. It can be seen that the relationship between "Colossus Industries" and the Blood Howler Gang is very close.
Most people's imaginations are even closer.
"Let's move on to the next question, two murders that happened in the past few days." Vin snapped his fingers, "Commissioner Marshall and Director Barlock, two members of the Solemnity Bureau died one after another, and the places of death were still in the Solemnity Bureau.
internal."
"You said before that Marshall was probably killed and silenced by Director Barlock." Leon stood at the table and watched Wein write down the Suzheng Bureau and these two names.
"Hmm, even if something happened later, my inference still hasn't changed." Wein said, "Although Marshall has all the information, in his communication terminal, he only took pictures of Director Baroque and Titan Industries.
'Content related to private transactions."
"Didn't you take the whole set...Is it because you didn't have enough time?"
"Maybe Marshall thought that he only needed to use the part of the director of the Solemnity Bureau, and there was no need to take pictures of the other parts as well. After all, such an operation of recording photos is quite time-consuming."
"Is it possible that he plans to confront Director Baroque based on the photos in the communication terminal? To persuade him to turn back and give up?" Leon's mind flashed to confrontation scenes from various spy movies, "'I have already obtained your criminal evidence, and I will arrest you without any effort.
Bar' or something like that."
"You have quite a rich imagination, which is a good thing." Wein nodded, "There is another possibility - report it."
"report?"
"Report Baroque's criminal evidence to higher-level officials in the Suppression Bureau, thereby attracting an investigation team." Wein took out the communication terminal and shook it, "Since this thing can store photo data, it can also send photo data.
Marshall may have intended to send those photos to higher-ups."
"As for why we only sent the evidence related to the Baroque and not others." Wein put away the communication terminal, "Of course it is because I am worried that the higher-ups will have concerns."
"Concerns?" Leon was stunned for a moment, then understood, "If we only send evidence related to the private transactions between Titan Industries and Baroque, the senior management may just think that this is an ordinary bribery case and will send someone to deal with it quickly.
But if the top management were to know that the transaction behind this involved the military, the tax bureau and so many other institutions, once exposed, it might affect the economic development and social stability of the entire Central Region and other forces dependent on the Central Region. The top management would have to
Think carefully about how to deal with it, and things will be delayed again and again."
To put it simply, this matter is too serious, and if it is brought out rashly, people will not know how to deal with it, so Marshall plans to ignore it and bring the investigation team here first.
