"The time you came here was much later than I expected. Did something happen?" Boss Dai asked after taking the information.
Lin Mo nodded and did not deny it. He first reported his thoughts and reflections, and then raised the doubtful questions left over from the police case.
"Since you specifically mentioned this matter in front of me, I'm afraid it's not just the problems you mentioned, right?"
In response to Lin Mo's feedback, Boss Dai nodded with a smile and appreciation, especially when it came to reporting ideological issues to him. Few people were as candid as he was about this kind of thing.
However, Boss Dai was also keenly aware of the issues mentioned by Lin Mo. Logically speaking, this would not have much impact on this case. Lin Mo should not specifically mention it at this time and explain it in detail.
Even if there may be new clues about espionage, it can be recorded and investigated afterwards, or investigated clearly during the operation. There is no need to report it specifically. Since it has been done, it only means that there is something else involved, but he also takes it.
Undecided or have little evidence.
This is also true. Lin Mo nodded and replied: "Boss, I do feel that there is still a big problem in this matter, and it may be far bigger than we imagined.
One doubtful point lies in Kuang Dacheng. In the case discussion, he is a very cautious and rational person. What kind of things are involved that would make him take risks?
The analysis I made before was that there was insufficient evidence and it would involve those things in the notes, which is why he was allowed to do this, but I always felt that this was a bit far-fetched.
Don't talk about anything else, just talking about the notes, will we really blame him for this? Let alone the records in the notes, even if the matter is secretly found out and recorded in the file, as long as the matter is not exposed openly, we will not
How many scruples would there be?
As for Ping Kuang Dacheng, he has shown a good grasp of the scale of things since he joined the company. I don't believe it if he is not aware of this.
If my previous conclusion is denied, then for what reason would he investigate this matter? I think of two possible reasons. One is that even we are very hesitant to investigate the matter involved; the other is,
It was this matter that made him intolerable and chose to take risks.
Needless to say, the former may involve some sensitive people or things, and we may have many concerns. The concern is that there is no sufficient evidence, and he thinks that we will not take the risk of starting an investigation process, so he chooses to take the risk himself.
As for the latter, judging from his insistence on recording those things for many years, he has a sense of justice in his heart, but he is also very rational and will not take risks for this.
The fact that he chose to take the risk to investigate shows that the seriousness of the matter has caused his sense of justice in his heart to exceed his rationality. The seriousness is probably much worse than what he recorded.
After all, there are so many cases recorded in his notebooks, and there is no trace that he has conducted an in-depth investigation on any one of them in the past. Even after we contacted him, the notebooks full of blood and tears were never handed over to us.
Even when he took the risk to investigate and at least found the few targets in front of him, with his cautious character, he would definitely be aware of the danger, but he still did not arrange the notes properly.
This can also be used to prove to a certain extent that the matters he investigated are of greater concern than the notes. I really don’t dare to think about what kind of matters are involved.
Of course, these two reasons may be a combination of both, but it does not affect the conclusion that this matter is by no means simple. Of course, it may also be that I am nervous and overthinking."
The last two sentences, whether out of trust or for some reason, Boss Dai pretended not to hear them at all. He frowned and thought carefully.
"Are you worried that this incident will have an unpredictable impact on subsequent actions? Or are you worried that you will not be able to find out the matter after closing the case?"
Lin Mo heard this and said: "It's both, but mainly the former. I feel that we need to make one or two preparations to deal with the emergencies that may arise from this matter."
Boss Dai heard this and did not reply immediately. Seeing this, Xu Guyu asked: "Since it has an impact, why not postpone the relevant actions? After all, the notes and the case do not need to be handled at the same time.
Even in directly terminating the further action of this matter, you also said that the matters involved may be extremely bad, and Kuang Dacheng was worried that we would not investigate before taking the risk, which also indirectly shows that this matter may cause big trouble.
"
Lin Mo heard this and explained: "Section Chief, the matter is not that serious yet. In addition, all aspects involved in the case are constantly being cut and sorted out, and they are still messily intertwined. One move will affect the overall situation!"
Like the two people in Guangdong and Guangxi, if people or things are relatively sensitive, if the things in the notes cannot be dealt with together, people from all parties will definitely not believe too much about the matters involved.
As for the Japanese, they are using them to add fuel to the fire. If they don't accept their belief, there is a high probability that the incident will not be properly resolved, and they may even think it is an internal fight and give them eye drops, which will have the opposite effect!"
After listening to this, Boss Dai asked: "According to your judgment, what will be the worst-case impact of this matter? To what extent?"
Lin Mo heard this, thought about it carefully, and replied: "Anyway, it is impossible to implicate the principal, and it is also impossible for most of the top officials of the government.
The vast majority of people in the middle and upper levels of the government, at least those who hold great power, mostly started at a young age, and spent the first half of their lives running around and busy for the revolution. They did not have the leisure to do things that met this condition in private.
Furthermore, it had only been a few years since the government had settled down in Nanjing, and before that, it had almost no interaction with Nanjing.
The fact that Kuang Dacheng was able to detect the problem was probably related to the fact that he had been recording these things for a long time and might have discovered some clues before.
After the establishment of the capital in Nanjing, the government was either at war or on the road to war. It had only been a few years of stability. In such a short period of time, it was difficult for the government to engage in extremely dirty things in secret and in private.
Furthermore, the middle and high-level officials in the government are mainly focused on fighting for power and profit. As this matter involves the Qinhuai River, it will not have much to do with the fight for power and profit.
To put it bluntly, some of the people in our government are indeed not particular about what they do, but in the end they just bully men and dominate women, rob and plunder, take bribes and pervert the law, and kill innocent people indiscriminately.
These are basically on the same level as what Kuang Dacheng recorded in his notes, and are not countless times worse in his eyes.
Based on various reasons, this matter will not have too much involvement with the middle and upper levels of the national government. In other words, it may have an impact on us, but it will not shake the foundation of the Intelligence Department.
And this matter involves spies, so even if it affects us, the upper limit is still not much higher, and it cannot be wrong, so this matter can still be handled."
After hearing this, Xu Guyu raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "You said spies were involved? Where did you come to this conclusion? You didn't seem to mention it, right?"
"Section Chief, this is the premise..." Lin Mo quickly replied, and added: "We are handling espionage cases, and we generally don't get too involved in other cases.
And if a matter that may be accompanied by a lot of trouble does not involve spies, we are even less likely to intervene. Kuang Dacheng will definitely be aware of this.
With his cautious and rational acting style, he will not be meddlesome if we don't interfere, and from his perspective, we can also accept those troubles and impacts in his judgment."
Xu Guyu asked some more questions. After Lin Mo answered them one by one, he stopped talking and waited for Boss Dai's decision. Boss Dai was still a little undecided, but Lin Mo didn't say much on the matter.
Finally, Boss Dai said: "Forget it, don't mention this matter outside, just stick to the original plan, and make other arrangements for precautions. If something really happened, it was because we didn't know about it beforehand. It was an accident. We can explain it later."
"
Boss Dai gave an alternative solution: pretend not to know, and if something goes wrong, use an accident to deal with it.
But if you think about it carefully, this is a good idea. For the case handled this time, it can be said that they were dedicated to serving the public good. If something unexpected happened, at most they could be said to be incompetent and not thorough in their actions. There were not many other faults to be found.
"According to your judgment, if there is really a problem, what will be involved?"
Although he chose to deal with it unexpectedly, Boss Dai did not end the topic. He frowned and asked Lin Mo.
"...I don't know...I can't guess..." Lin Mo shook his head, but looking at the two people's eyes, they clearly didn't believe it. Lin Mo had no choice but to continue to explain.
"Boss, I really couldn't have guessed it. If I had guessed it, I would have gone to check it out a long time ago. The judgment I can give is that this matter is far beyond our imagination, and it is even something that will make us all feel numb.
."
Although he couldn't guess it, Lin Mo still looked suspicious. He could guess that it was definitely not a good thing.
Boss Dai and Xu Guyu, seeing that Lin Mo didn't seem to want to say anything, looked at each other a little bit, but they also had similar feelings and couldn't be happier.
Afterwards, several people exchanged some other matters about the case, but the atmosphere was a bit dull. For some reason, the three of them had a vague premonition of uneasiness.
After the matter was settled, Boss Dai was not in much mood to talk nonsense. He took his things and hurried back to the Executive Yuan, not only to deal with the drama, but also to contact and communicate about follow-up actions.
Naturally, what I am looking for is those two people. If I convince them to support me, my action will not face much resistance at the government level.
Because the news was leaked, these two people still had some opinions on Boss Dai and the Intelligence Department, but the things they brought dissipated most of their dissatisfaction and aroused their interest.
But! There will definitely still be people who should object. For example, when checking things in the notebook, the two of them knew with their toes that the people under their command would definitely be involved.
However, when Boss Dai mentioned Lin Mo's remarks about treating illnesses and saving people, they were less opposed to it. After all, when his subordinates were turned into spies and were investigated, the impact of the investigation now would be less.
Of course, the leadership of the investigation must be in their hands. After all, whoever is exposed will be exposed, and the actual punishment will depend on their ability. This actually gives them an opportunity to show favor to their subordinates.
Boss Dai doesn't have much opinion on this. Strictly speaking, they shouldn't be involved in this case. The first is to get involved in the case, and the second is to eliminate hidden dangers.
However, Boss Dai also mentioned that you should not go too far, otherwise it will be difficult to win the trust of the local forces involved in the case and affect the case, and they must first find out whether it is involved in an espionage case before handing it over.
The former, Boss Dai, is telling the truth, while the latter is worried about something going wrong. Although he also wants to push it out, he is the weakest in the three-party cooperation. If he doesn't stand up, it will definitely not get better afterwards.
