"Sir, news came back from outside the city. According to the information provided by the transfer warehouse, they have traced some traces of those ships.
What is known at present is that the other party should have gone up the Wusong River, but the specific whereabouts are not yet known, because the other party is suspected of fabricating many false images to interfere with the investigation.
The heavy flow of ships on the water makes tracking difficult. In addition, the heavy rain that night allowed some previously impassable waterways to be opened. There are few witnesses in these places.
According to the information we have, the other party should have changed lanes many times, used such waterways, combined with forged traces, and other factors, making it extremely difficult to track its whereabouts."
After hearing this, Takeuchi frowned and asked: "The whereabouts of the other party can't be found at all? These are the only situations where it's of no use?"
Matsushita was a little speechless and said: "Currently we can only roughly delineate an area based on the intelligence we inquired about. This is not possible in Shanghai, and probably not in the surrounding areas.
No traces were found on the south and west side of the Huangpu River. It should be Jiangcunjun's presence that allowed the other party to exclude this area. Not many traces were found on the north side of the Wusong River.
The destination of the other party should be north of the Huangpu River, south of the Wusong River, and west of Taihu Lake. Although relevant traces have been found in further areas, it is judged that it is a deliberately created illusion.
In addition, given the speed of the other party's ship, it would not be able to leave this area before dawn, and according to detailed investigation, no ship suspected of transporting a large amount of silver was found to appear again afterwards, so the silver should still be hidden in this area.
The investigation of other clues did not yield any valuable findings. However, during the surveillance of the inn, it was found that they paid special attention to the back side of the inn. In the peripheral investigation, they learned that there was a waterway not far behind the inn, and there was a waterway beside it.
There were a lot of footprints."
Takeuchi frowned even more tightly and said slightly displeasedly: "Have you not figured out the problem yet for this group of people who are suspected of being water bandits?"
Matsushita shook his head helplessly and explained: "The situation is ambiguous. The information shows that these people are indeed a group of water bandits, but the time of their appearance is too coincidental, and they also have some military habits.
The most important thing is that the origins of these people cannot be found out, and the possibility of counterfeiting, substitution, and cooperation between the two parties cannot be ruled out. Judging from the previous situation, the opponent has a strong ability to disguise, and these must be confirmed and eliminated.
Moreover, it is very problematic for the opponent to give up the inn here so easily, because according to our investigation, the opponent arranged for important people to personally lead people to run the boat and run the inn. It was obvious that a lot of thought was put into it, and it was so easy to give up the inn.
It’s really unjustifiable that he is a water bandit who has nothing to do with him.”
"...Da da da..." Takeuchi knocked on the table and replied: "Continue to investigate, but you can release a little information to the outside world appropriately, but not too much. Try not to let those people realize that we are deliberately guiding them."
…
With the actions of all parties, the Shanghai gang, which had been dormant for some time, became active again, and was more proactive, enthusiastic, or greedy than before.
Because this time, the Japanese were finally willing to offer benefits, and they were so generous that these people were extremely jealous.
The money was directly given as a departure fee, and there was also a large sum of money promised, and there was also a large reward for any clues or information found.
In addition to these, there are other commitments, which vary from person to person and are mostly on the minds of people from all walks of life, such as who will be supported to enter a certain industry afterwards, who will be supported to expand power where, where to seize, and even support to seize power, become independent, jump to counterattack, etc.
wait.
Money is very attractive to the middle- and lower-class gang members, and other things are what the leaders are thinking about. For a moment, they forget about death and wantonly search places they think are suspicious in and outside the city.
It was not just the gangs that had connections with the Japanese overtly or covertly that were stirred up. With the spread of some news, some gangs were also unable to suppress the waves in their hearts and started to stir up.
However, these people tend to be very secretive in their actions, hiding their true faces, and their purposes are somewhat different, but most of them are driven by greed.
"...Master Hong, are we really not going to get involved?" Next to Hong Suixian, Zou Fuqing spoke a little uneasily.
Hong Suixian, who had already gained some dignity, turned around and said: "Uncle Zou, having ambition and greed is not a bad thing, but sometimes you should not overestimate yourself.
Is it possible for this kind of news to be spread casually? Can it be spread with noses and eyes? The person who got the news did not go there himself, but made it known to everyone? "
"Is there a problem here?" Jing Hong Suixian said this, and Zou Fuqing also recovered from his greed.
"Is it possible? How stingy were the Japanese in the past? It was a hard-working job, but they were reluctant to give you any benefits, and they kept pressing your head to make you do it.
But what about now? If they spend a lot of money to give you benefits and coax you to go there, how much trouble will it cause? Even the news, there is a high probability that someone has released it to lure people there!"
Having been patient under Qin Ji for many years, he understands the filthiness of people's hearts very well. Of course, he is also very familiar with the art of patience and plotting against others!
When the other party raises his tail, that monkey's butt is not obvious enough to him? Hahaha! He has always been the only one who plots against others.
"...Master Hong...then you want Second Master and the others to participate in this matter?" Zou Fuqing tentatively asked, after all, he was his former boss.
"The Japanese are here. They have to pretend. As for them really pretending, I don't care. We have to pretend too. You ask the people below to pretend... no... just tell them to be ready to act at any time.
.”
"...Yes..." Zou Fuqing was a little absent-minded. Although the two sides pretended to be in opposition, who knew that no one would be serious about it?
This person's skills are too powerful, or too ruthless. Many rights and interests have been taken back by all means, but it has also made many people dissatisfied. Those people, most of those people are currently gathering there.
side.
"Master Hong, is there anything else that needs to be arranged and prepared?" After coming back to his senses, Zou Fuqing bent slightly and asked carefully.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Obviously, this is not a real question, but a statement. This person was recommended by him. He is regarded as a proper Hong Ye faction. Now he can
This is the only one I can rely on.
"Keep an eye on the surrounding gangs, especially the gangs that are active. Always pay attention to each other's news, and report to me immediately if there is any situation."
"...Oh..." Although he was a little confused, Zou Fuqing quickly nodded in agreement.
"Remember the boss who exchanged money? We can learn from it. Although the silver is useless, it is also a rare good opportunity for us. I am afraid that the Shanghai gang will usher in a big reshuffle."
Zou Fuqing was stunned, but quickly realized that he wanted to imitate the other party and take advantage of others' danger to directly occupy the magpie's nest and steal someone's home!
The explanation is true, but the main purpose is that Hong Suixian also wants to ease the relationship with the old man, especially to side with himself. After some tricks, even Zou Fuqing is a little frightened. This is not going to work.
As for the news they talked about, it was circulated privately among some people, and there was indeed no trace of the thousand tons that had been robbed.
Moreover, according to rumors, the people who robbed it did not dare to transport the silver back, so they divided it into multiple batches and hid them around Shanghai, which aroused the greed of many people.
Especially with the large-scale actions of the Japanese, this rumor was almost confirmed, causing countless people to take action immediately.
One batch, at least dozens of tons, right? The money is enough to make countless people lose their minds. Even if they can foresee the risks behind it, they cannot restrain their inner greed.
In the face of such huge sums of money, what does danger mean? What does the intelligence service mean? Even the government and the Japanese are not a problem.
With this kind of money, why would they join a gang? Taking the money to travel to other places or even other countries would be enough to live a happy life.
A madness called greed began to spread, and countless people opened their heart-wrenching eyes, thinking that they could get a piece of the pie.
Some people may be really crazy, some may be lucky...but...a storm has begun to brew. No matter what your purpose is, if you are in it, you will always have to bear the wind and waves.
The news spread not only in the urban area, but also outside the city, surrounding towns, various gangs, criminal gangs, illegal armed forces, and even some 'legal' armed forces, all received relevant news one after another.
These people in the city are usually suppressed by the official forces and still know some sense of propriety, but these people are really starting to go crazy.
Soon, groups of people were frequently going in and out of various places. Some people even held guns and had friendly exchanges with some people without concealing it.
Order is slowly losing, especially on waterways. Some ships passing by have been intercepted and interrogated more than ten times in a short period of time, causing them to flee in fear. The situation is further deteriorating.
Fortunately, the official response was very quick, especially in Shanghai and surrounding areas. Due to the agreement reached after 128, the government established a large number of police and security forces.
There are not many of these people who act recklessly when they move, but there are still many people who are active in the open and covert, and who are probing and investigating.
Lin Mo quickly received the relevant information, and he naturally knew who did it? What was the purpose? Use his strength to fight! Both sides were playing.
However, he did not dare to be careless. He contacted Wang Mingkun and Xu Zhiyu and asked them to lead the team. He also pretended to be those people and followed their movements.
On Wang Mingkun's side, it took a few days to finish processing the car, and now they have returned to the car repair shop. They left before in the name of going back to understand the situation. This time they went back and dealt with the handover matters, and then they can smoothly leave.
Get away over there.
As for Xu Zhiyu, he drove the car away that night, and now he has already settled down and returned to the city to be on standby.
But now, the gang is raking over the ground looking for clues about them. The urban area is no longer safe. It is better to blend in directly with the opponent and become the opponent, which is safer.
As for Lin Mo, things are not very stable at the moment. This afternoon, suspicious figures were found moving around, and for some reason, that cheap bird found them again.
It was that big crow. After the battle that night, I had never seen it again. But after Xu Guyu left, this guy actually came to the door. Judging from his behavior, it seemed that he came to eat with it.
