Yano paid more attention to Yasukawa, while Kikuta was similar to a thug and bodyguard. Yano didn't pay much attention to him. After all, he was much taller than him in terms of status.
As Lin Mo guessed, Kikuta is a guy who likes to show off and praise himself, and before they took action, the events in Shanghai happened to happen. He found a lot of information to study, but Kikuta despised this and often boasted about how good he was.
How and so on, he learned about these situations.
The pair of gloves on Kikuta's hand was indeed a gift from Yasukawa. When they first received the order, they met in Peiping. Because the price of silver had not yet risen at that time, business could not start. They waited there to observe the situation and did not do anything.
Act urgently.
At that time, the weather turned colder, so a tailor shop with a good reputation not far from Yasukawa's residence ordered winter clothes, gloves, etc., and also ordered a pair for Kikuta.
I don’t know what happened or experienced between the two of them. Kikuta is very fond of those gloves. Of course, that may have something to do with the scars on his hands.
Yano specifically talked about this matter. Obviously, Lin Mo didn't care about Lin Mo's remarks about him being caught for wearing gloves.
The rest of the case is also consistent with Lin Mo's investigation or inference. Before Lin Mo found out about them, all the people he came into contact with were also fully accounted for. Some of them were unknown to them, and Lin Mo had people send them away.
.
"Can you tell me everything about the police officer in detail?" Lin Mo stopped Yano from continuing and asked him to provide details about Kuang Dacheng.
Yano was stunned for a moment, and then he asked, "Are there other problems here? How could he be targeting us? No matter how I explain it, it feels far-fetched!"
When Lin Mo heard this, he patiently said, "Please tell me everything you know! We've come this far, there's no need to keep hiding it, right?"
Yano didn't say much, but spoke happily. According to what he said, the course of the case was not very different from Lin Mo's guess and judgment.
After solving the pickpocket and retrieving the luggage, Yaskawa contacted Yaskawa to pay attention to the police's movements and conduct surveillance and investigation on the pickpocket group.
This incident had little impact on them, and they continued to carry out their tasks intensively as usual. However, three days after the luggage was stolen, when they went out to contact the target person, they noticed that Kuang Dacheng was following them.
As Lin Mo said, they pretended not to notice and secretly arranged for people to investigate. According to feedback, they knew that he had been in contact with pickpockets, and Yaskawa learned through channels that he might be working for the intelligence agency.
They were very nervous at the time, mistakenly thinking that they might be targeted as soon as they entered Nanjing, and then concocted a plan to steal and exchange their luggage.
However, their important things were not lost, and when they monitored and followed the pickpocket, they did not find any suspicious behavior on his part. Combined with their inquiring about the pickpocket gang and some behind-the-scenes information, they ruled out this speculation.
Moreover, after the investigation surrounding Kuang Dacheng was launched, no relevant traces were found, and it was also discovered that he acted privately and did not inform the Intelligence Department of the situation.
So, they planned an operation to eradicate Kuang Dacheng and eliminate the hidden danger. Yasukawa asked someone to get a high-concentration ether, and personally made bait to lure Kuang Dacheng to a remote place, and let Kikuta stun him.
Before the intelligence agency was suspected of being involved, Yasukawa may have been planning to carry out some independent actions in advance, not only to distract Kuang Dacheng so that they could escape to investigate, but also to lay the groundwork to lure Kuang Dacheng into a trap.
After the person was stunned, as Lin Mo said, they took the person near the canal and prepared to check it out, but they accidentally bumped into the person, so they hurriedly threw the person into the river and drowned him.
As for Lin Mo's mention of planning and calculating the dumping and discovery of the body in advance, as well as some loopholes in the drowning, Yano did not know these details, but he believed that the two Yasukawa should have planned it.
Afterwards, they arranged corresponding precautions, but they did not get too close to Kuang Dacheng for fear that the intelligence department would find traces after intervention. Instead, they took a step back and focused on the pickpockets and the things Kuang Dacheng investigated.
It was a good idea. He wanted to avoid the sharp edge of the Intelligence Department, so that the people in the Intelligence Department would mistakenly think that he had not left any traces to guard against him, and then he would find out halfway and be directly exposed to them.
But the result was not satisfactory, and due to a combination of circumstances, Lin Mo's investigation work, which he had just tried at the edge, progressed smoothly, and he even touched behind them without knowing it.
Of course, Yano also admitted that Lin Mo and others were so skillful that finding out what happened to them was completely unexpected, and they were also unaware of the subsequent surveillance of them. It is estimated that a head-on confrontation would not be too difficult.
More chances of winning.
You must know that after the luggage was stolen and Kuang Dacheng followed them, they were extremely vigilant about their surroundings. For example, at their residence, after meeting with their subordinates, almost half of their subordinates were standing guard at all times.
"Who did the information within the police station come from? Especially the fact that Kuang Dacheng is our informant, who provided it? And who provided the high-purity ether?" After listening, Lin Mo asked three questions in succession.
"...I don't know..." Yano shook his head, shrugged, and explained after thinking for a while: "These information or items were provided by Yaskawa, and Kikuta was also responsible for contacting them.
I have said before that I have almost no involvement in specific matters during the mission. One of the reasons is that Yaskawa uses a large number of private channels.
Those should be those that Anchuan had contact with and managed during the opium smuggling here in the past. People like them tend to keep things to themselves, and they will not share the things they have easily. Of course, I also
There is no one who is not interested enough to inquire and investigate."
After hearing this, Lin Mo frowned slightly, and after thinking about it, he asked, "Do you really know nothing about Yasukawa's background? It doesn't need to be true, some rumors are fine."
This time, Yano did not reply directly. He furrowed his eyebrows slightly, as if he was thinking about memories or weighing the matter. After a while, he replied with some uncertainty.

people.
There is no clear person standing behind Yasukawa, but it is said that he has a close relationship with some high-level officials, and it is said that he also has interactions with some old aristocrats and wealthy families.
Yano said it very vaguely, but if translated, it means that he has a good background and power, maybe because of his birth, or because of interests or other reasons, and he can be related to the upper class or even aristocratic families.
Yano's expression like this is also very problematic. Either he is worried about something, or he has really just heard some rumors and doesn't know whether they are true or not, so he has to express it in this way.
The former is unlikely. At this point, there is really no reason for him to worry about anything. If this is the case, then the problem will be huge. How credible is his confession? That will be a big question mark!
Lin Mo estimated and defaulted to the latter. Unfortunately, the information it provided was too limited, and Lin Mo could not extend the connection to any useful information.
Later, Lin Mo asked about the situation of the forces that provided help for the operation after they came to Nanjing, hoping to dig out some clues from them.
Yano no longer knew nothing, and based on what he saw and guessed, he did provide some useful information, but unfortunately it was still too little to support him in making an effective judgment.
Regardless of whether Yano didn't want to provide it or really didn't understand it, Lin Mo couldn't get what he wanted out of him for the time being.
Lin Mo decisively ended his interrogation, but still appeared to be patient and explained before packing up and going out. When he saw Xu Guyu and Lin Wenhua outside the door, his heart skipped a beat and he fell to the bottom.
"Good review!" Xu Guyu praised, without saying much, and motioned for him to chat outside. Lin Mo felt a little relieved and went out together.
When they got outside, Lin Wenhua came over and told Lin Mo about the situation. It turned out that there were operations in several places, and there were also situations where there was a suspicion of death.
After the two of them learned about it, they were both worried about something going on. After arranging the matter, they rushed back here. They heard that he had gone to the interrogation room after learning about the situation, so they went over to take a look at the situation.
"Good review, what's the gain?" After entering the command room and the three of them sat down, Boss Dai asked after handing over the situation.
"There are some, but they are very limited, and they basically confirm the previous speculations and judgments. However, the information he has is too limited, especially for what we urgently need to know right now. What he provides is too limited and of no use. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that he has deliberate intentions. The possibility of concealing the situation.”
"...Hmm..." Xu Guyu nodded and did not ask too much. He just motioned for him to read the information first.
Lin Mo quickly checked and found out that there were two cases, which were basically consistent with the situation at Qin Lao Yao's side, and could be judged as encountering death.
One was Yao Yibin's side, where he was arresting the boss behind the Fengyue establishment and met the other party's housekeeper. His situation was obviously inconsistent with the information found.
According to the investigation data, he was just a housekeeper who was responsible for the internal affairs of his family and had no ability to resist. However, after encountering him, it turned out to be the opposite. His marksmanship was the most powerful among them.
Before breaking into the room he retreated into, the housekeeper shot himself directly. Inside the house, he also found the boss behind the scenes who had been wiped out.
On the other side of the Qinhuai River, a gang engaged in human trafficking but acted in a rather low-key manner. Because Huang Jianren made a lot of noise, they launched simultaneous operations against this gang.
After rushing in, they found that the gang leader and his cronies had been killed by someone who was also very skilled in marksmanship. However, he tried to escape and escaped.
Of course, he failed to escape in the end and was shot to death by the soldiers and police who surrounded him outside. However, he also caused six or seven casualties to the Intelligence Department, the garrison and the police.
In addition, neither Lin Mo's investigation nor Yano's explanation has found that this gang is involved in the silver smuggling case so far, and even opium smuggling seems to have nothing to do with it.
The reason why he was moved was because according to the investigation, he was involved in some of the cases recorded by Kuang Dacheng. We took this opportunity to deal with it as a normal case. We started so early because we were worried about what happened to Huang Jianren, so as not to alert the snake.
Something like that.
If it is proven that it has nothing to do with the Yasukawa gang, it can be proven sideways that the death incident has nothing to do with silver smuggling or opium smuggling, but is probably involved in another matter.
Of course, although it may have nothing to do with the smuggling of silver and opium, it does not mean that it has nothing to do with the people involved. Like Yaskawa, it is very likely that he is involved in the things behind it.
As for the connection between the three, there is nothing wrong with directly identifying them as co-accused. Deaths are rare, and if they are encountered one after another in the same case, the possibility of being related to each other is much greater than not.
Unfortunately, Lin Mo still had no idea what these people were involved in, but at least three deaths had occurred at the moment, which showed that the matter involved was definitely not trivial.
As for the remaining suspects, one is a woman Wang Mingkun met who wanted to attack him and then tried to commit suicide. It is still unclear whether he can be saved.
However, Lin Mo put a question mark on this person. His actions were still different from those of other dead realms. Lin Mo was not sure whether he was the same kind of dead realm as the first three.
The remaining two were relatively similar, they were both people who resisted extremely fiercely, had obviously received professional military training, and killed each other indiscriminately without distinguishing between friend and foe, and were finally killed.
The two people are even more similar to each other, but this is not good news. The difference means that there is probably another wave of people in the case that they have not found.
And although the last three people are not as dead as the first three, they are also extremely cruel and cruel in their actions, and they are not easy to deal with. The most important thing is that they have not grasped their information, so it is very likely that they will
This is another hidden danger in the advancement of the case.
Lin Mo rubbed his temples and had a headache. After Section Chief Xu asked, Lin Mo talked about his own test. After hearing this, Xu Guyu and Lin Wenbi were also a little numb.
"This action was too hasty and I didn't make enough preparations! It's a bit...sigh..." Lin Wenhua said and sighed. He didn't have any good ideas for the time being.
Lin Mo heard this and said: "I am a little anxious, but I just haven't found out the smuggling plan of the three people in Anchuan. Some people and things were involved, and their impact is not big.
Based on the situation revealed by these two groups, Yaskawa will never easily contact them when handling silver smuggling. Of course, what I am talking about is direct contact, and it is with the core part, which will allow us to find clues.
Not counting those previous contacts, those who assisted and cooperated with him were probably only on the periphery. In other words, no matter how deeply we investigated Yasukawa's silver smuggling, it would be almost impossible to detect the people behind the case before taking action.
people and things.
If we want to blame this matter, we can only blame me for being too greedy and opening the net too wide, trapping other people as well. While we are worried about this, we still have no idea what is going on with these people.
"
"...Okay, okay..." Xu Guyu listened patiently, waved his hand, and said: "Now is not the time to worry about whose problem or responsibility, but how to deal with it properly."
Xu Guyu brought the discussion back to the right track, looked at Lin Mo, and asked: "Mention your plan! You are the person in charge of the case. Even if this is an emergency, your response plan should be the most feasible.
There’s no big problem, so we’ll make arrangements immediately.”
