After Lin Mo finished explaining, Shi Baocun was a little confused. People have problems? Who has problems? What kind of problem is it? He was a little confused for a moment.
"You need to be more familiar with the previous cases!" Lin Mo said, seriously reminding Shi Baocun that this guy didn't do enough homework.
Just click on it, and Lin Mo stopped trying to be too pretentious and said, "You haven't followed the case all the time. Just looking at the information doesn't make a very deep impression. The targets, namely Tian Hao and the other three, are very familiar with the affairs of the world.
Moreover, this kind of familiarity is not a general one based on the situation in other areas, but a familiarity with the real people or things in Nanjing.
There is a high probability that he will have many contacts and even be familiar with many people. This was reflected in many aspects during the early investigation process. Therefore, too many people in the world were not involved.
As for the Japanese smuggling of tobacco and soil, according to rough information, this is already a huge profit, and they continue to reap huge profits, so they should not be involved in it.
At least, you shouldn't get involved in what these people are planning, because it is a huge smuggling and sales network in itself. If you use it, you can play it by yourself.
Even the convenient method of using banks that I mentioned before does not need to be mixed with them. Because of the huge benefits of selling cigarettes, it is estimated that they have already established their own capital circulation channels and can just use them directly.
The most important thing is that behind the huge interests, there must be a huge vested interest group, and the same is true for this plan. Such a big move must also represent the interests of a large group of people.
As for factional groups, it is not easy to join forces and conspire, especially when huge interests are involved. There may be some dirty things between the two parties. Combining the above points, without a special relationship, it will be difficult for the two parties to get together.
Combined with the target's familiarity with Jianghu affairs, I believe that the target has been associated with cigarette dealers before, and may even have worked there for a long time, and is at least a middle- to upper-level employee.
Based on this relationship, the cigarette trafficking system is related to this conspiracy plan. It may be those who sell cigarettes, providing information, personnel, channels, funds, etc. support for the plan, or getting deeply involved in this plan, and all parties will work together.
Share the benefits and benefits, and of course, share the risks and costs.
I personally prefer the latter, sharing risks and costs, etc. One may be because we take the lead and make these people think that we will be a threat and trouble, such as the calculations of the Executive Yuan, and these people want to stir up trouble and attract attention.
It is a manifestation.
In the case of both, due to these circumstances, the cigarette sellers may not want to directly intervene, because for them, cigarette sales are a business that can be long-term and continue to bring huge profits.
But selling money is different. In the short term, the profits may be huge, but they certainly won't last for long. Those people may not only want to reap the benefits, but also don't want to attract us and disturb the long-term interests of selling cigarettes, so they take out some
Things, just got involved in this matter."
After listening to this, Shi Baocun thought carefully and replied: "Look? After thinking about it, when the two parties came into contact, it seemed that they were not too unfamiliar, at least it didn't seem to be a business-like situation.
Unfortunately, we were too far away at the time, and we couldn't find a good observation point. We really couldn't see whether the two parties knew each other or might have a closer relationship.
In addition, I previously thought that what they received might be smoke and soil, but after thinking about it carefully, although they took precautions along the way, they obviously did not do it behind their backs.
It would be too bold to smuggle cigarettes in Yanyan. Although the government bans smoking, the ban is not strict, but this is the capital after all. No matter whether the officials or the people catch them, it will be troublesome, not to mention their identities are not visible to the public.
There is also a storage place. Although there are many people to guard it, it is different from normal cigarette smuggling and selling. It is not hidden in many secret places, but it is hidden in a remote place at least.
But it was better for them to put them directly in the house facing the street. Yes, they seemed to have brought some into the city. They put them directly in the car and brought them in plainly.
If you think about it carefully, the thing he brought back during the handover should not be cigarettes. My previous thinking was too simple and direct. After identifying the other party's identity, I took it for granted that what he brought back was cigarettes."
"Then what do you think it is?" Lin Mo nodded and continued to ask the examination school to see if it could continue to analyze it.
Shi Baocun was about to say something, but he frowned slightly. After careful consideration, he replied with some uncertainty.
"Could it be money? But it seems that the things I received are not light. Whether it is gold, silver, or banknotes, the weight and volume are not small amounts. Is it too much?"
Lin Mo heard this and said: "What they are doing is not small, and the funds required are absolutely indispensable. Furthermore, although they have released some rumors, it is impossible to persuade some people to conspire with them.
.
After we took the lead, especially after we eliminated a large number of bandit gangs, the name "Japanese" is no longer as useful in Jiangsu and Zhejiang as before. Moreover, they have to guard against us, so there is a high probability that they will not identify the relevant people.
origin.
Based on the rumors that have been circulated, most of the powerful people are dubious at most and want to give face. At least some of the people who were selected in the previous contacts had a perfunctory attitude when they left.
If you want to win the trust of these people to cooperate, these people need to prove their strength, and the simplest and most direct way is to spend enough funds to prove that you have that strength.
Just watch! It is estimated that in the next few days, the things he brought back will be shown to some people, and once the bullets fly again, everything will probably be counted."
After listening to this, Shi Baocun thought for a while and joked with some humor: "Captain Lin, this scene feels very familiar! Aren't they afraid that it will all be in vain like last time?"
"...It is indeed a familiar scene..." Lin Mo was also happy, nodded in agreement, organized his words, and replied.
"It was just a failure last time, so this time they are more willing to take a chance. The more they lack, the more they think about getting something. The fact that they have made such a big deal this time has nothing to do with the previous actions.
"
After listening to this, Shi Baocun asked: "Captain Lin, are you saying that some people from Shanghai are also involved in this matter?"
Lin Mo heard this and replied: "Not necessarily, it is possible, but it may not be them. That time and after that, they were indeed the ones who suffered the biggest losses.
But they are not the only ones who are affected and short of money. The most direct and biggest impact on the Japanese espionage agencies is not the direct threat we pose.
Japan's spy agency not only started early, but its scale is far beyond our reach. Not only is it difficult to catch up in the short term, but the losses we bring are actually relatively limited.
The biggest impact it has suffered is because of the emergence of our threat, and the cost it has to pay to deal with our threat. The most intuitive thing is to spend more money for it.
That is to say, the same espionage activities now require more funds. In order to maintain the huge intelligence network that has been built, the expenses are likely to increase dramatically immediately.
For example, in the past, for those who were sold out, they might just get some small favors, but as we took the lead, the risks for those who were sold out by working for the Japanese increased sharply, and the small profits could still keep them honest.
Working hard?
Either, add more money and continue to induce them to take risks with benefits; or, accept the status quo of the other party not working hard. As for threats, you are also worried that the other party will sell them because the benefits and risks are not equal, so how can you dare to do it casually?
Like inducements and inducements, the cost of coercion is also rising. Some small things can no longer threaten some people, so we can only increase the chips. We are worried that people will defect and rebel, so we have to keep an eye on it.
Just like the case at hand, when we came into contact with those public officials, we arranged for special personnel to keep an eye on them, fearing that they had such concerns, and these were all the costs incurred by the Japanese because we took the lead.
Even what the target has just received may be a large amount of funds, and the risks required to take out this funds are, to a certain extent, the costs paid for it.
Talking about those people in Shanghai, they did lose a lot of money because of us, but at the same time, the number of people who have to bear the burden has also been reduced, which to a certain extent has reduced their expenses.
It may not feel comfortable with it, but its superiors and other Japanese espionage agencies will also be affected and feel uncomfortable, that is, they all face the problem of lack of funds to some extent.
That's why I said that the other party's big move this time may be due to some of our previous actions. Don't doubt the significance of our work because of this, and force them to take action for this. This in itself,
It’s also a victory.”
Shi Baocun nodded, and the two briefly chatted about some situations. Shi Baocun went back first and was on standby. If anything happened, he would need to lead his people to take action immediately without any further delay.
However, the details of the case were also taken back with him. After questioning, it was found that Lin Mo's case notes were not sensitive, so the guy took them away with him.
The work continued, and at night, the three targets took action again, but more than three people were dispatched. In the afternoon, the other party bought two more cars, and they were purchased directly. Although they were second-hand cars, they were of good quality.
He directly set up a small convoy and brought other subordinates to support the scene before contacting people again. Moreover, Lin Mo also found that the other party became more generous with his actions.
His subordinates directly tipped the people who looked after the cars in the parking lot. The most important thing was that they paid the money in front of the customers without caring.
Today, Lin Mo has launched an investigation into the place where the other party is entertaining guests. He has also found people there and used coercion and inducement to do things for them.
Lin Mo gave instructions and soon received feedback. As long as the other party was inside, he would throw away money without hesitation. Although there was no direct evidence, the change was basically confirmed by Lin Mo.
