"Brother, the Intelligence Department has been developing very fast these days. It makes some noises from time to time. Why don't we see any action from the top? With the current relationship between our two departments, the top should not sit back and watch them grow, right?"
Hearing this, the cigarette dealer sneered: "How can you just sit idly by and ignore it? The intelligence office has made several big noises before, and there are reports from above that they are going to take action to hinder their development.
Unfortunately, a group of river bandits appeared out of nowhere and confronted us directly. They robbed one of our boats for the first time and killed more than a dozen of our people on the boat.
Later, we sent people to investigate, and seven or eight more people were ambushed to death. It is said that forty or fifty people came, and each of them had a lot of traps. If the large force had not been delayed, none of the people sent would have survived.
This incident has a great impact and makes us lose face in front of the higher-ups. We can only send a large number of manpower to exterminate this group of Jiang bandits. In addition, we have to send people to assist in the encirclement and suppression of the Red Party, so we can only put aside the matters targeting the Intelligence Department first.
Let it go."
Hearing what the cigarette seller said, the shoe shiner said: "Brother, these guys are really lucky. This allowed them to escape. How come these guys don't like it and dare to show it in front of us?
Pooh……"
"Okay, okay, why don't you just get blocked once? It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Ten years will be given to you, and you will be given the opportunity to pay it back in the future.
What’s more! Don’t worry about the above-mentioned things so as not to misunderstand us. We are all people with no background. I can’t help it if people take advantage of you.”
"Don't worry..." The three of them murmured in low voices as they walked. They didn't shut up until they walked out of the alley and onto the avenue with many pedestrians.
…………
On the other side, Sun Xinan entered the bank with a arrogant face and a respectful Liu Zhenshan, and the two of them returned to normal.
"Captain Liu, I offended you a lot just now, please forgive me."
"What do you call this?" Liu Zhenshan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Isn't this a favor I asked you for? Speaking of which, I have to thank you!
These guys are very difficult to deal with, and the two families are very hostile, but fortunately they put on a show and sent them away, otherwise I don’t know what kind of trouble they would have caused!"
In the shop, there were a few guys who came to handle exchange business, and the rest were employees of the bank. Liu Zhenshan asked He Changwen to gather them together.
The people who exchanged money carefully checked and found no problems. After registering, they let him go. The people in the trading house locked them up temporarily and waited for the main leaders to be interrogated before deciding how to deal with the situation according to the situation.
"Boss Sun, let's go! Go to the back and see how your brother is doing."
"Okay..." Sun Xinan responded, and followed Liu Zhenshan to the backyard with some anxiety. He had roughly guessed through the questioning of Lin Mo and others that he did not understand his brother's meaning immediately.
As soon as he entered the backyard, Sun Xin'an saw Sun Xinhui holding a big bowl and devouring his food. Sun Xin'an walked over tremblingly. Looking at Sun Xinhui, who was skinny and tired, tears flowed down uncontrollably.
Hearing the noise, Sun Xinhui was about to stand up, staggered and finally sat back down. Sun Xin'an hurriedly stepped forward to help.
Liu Zhenshan approached Zheng Junshan and asked in a low voice: "Old Zheng, what happened? Why is his body shape so different from what Sun Xinan described?"
Hearing this, Zheng Junshan explained: "Those people in Qianzhuang were too cruel. In order to prevent people from dying, they did not use physical punishment.
But even more cruelly, these people only grabbed a handful of rice every day and cooked him a bowl of rice soup. They basically deprived him of food, drink, and sleep, and they tortured him all the time.
I didn't recognize the person when I saw him. I checked several times before I was sure. It had been two days and two nights since he last slept.
Considering that he had barely eaten for a long time, I had someone make him a bowl of gruel to give him some strength to talk."
Sun Xinhui, who was struggling to survive, did not blame Sun Xin'an. Instead, he comforted Sun Xin'an. Everyone did not disturb him and just watched quietly.
"Captain, just stay here and watch while I go out to help the others."
"Go ahead and leave this to me."
"Hmm..." Zheng Junshan responded and walked forward. He happened to meet Lin Mo coming out of a room and was called over.
Lin Mo was asking questions just now, but it was not the boss, but he grabbed a few ordinary boys, cleaned them up, and found out about the big and small things that happened in the bank recently.
Instead of looking for the boss, Lin Mo feels that these people must have stronger psychological quality. If you ask questions when you don't know anything, these guys will definitely not be too honest. It is better to find out what happened from other people's mouths before asking.
detail.
Another reason is that when Lin Mo first started arresting people, he didn't care about whether they were the boss or not. He would just take action if they didn't cooperate. Now it was up to him to ask questions because he was afraid that these guys would not cooperate honestly and hide something.
So when he saw Zheng Junshan, Lin Mo quickly stopped him, stated the situation, and informed him of the information he asked, and asked Zheng Junshan to be responsible for interrogating the leader.
Lin Mo went to the front yard, gave Shi Baocun a few instructions, and entered a room. After a while, Shi Baocun brought two people in. They were Yi Wenbin with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and Liu Daxiang, who looked like a farmer.
After the two came in, they quietly looked at Lin Mo for a few times, and then communicated with their eyes. Lin Mo naturally knew that they were colluding in confession, but Lin Mo was not shouting. He had many ways to make the two of them obey, so he simply watched quietly.
With.
Yi Wenbin and Liu Daxiang made eye contact for several minutes, and then stopped when they saw Lin Mo watching the show.
Seeing the two of them calm down, Lin Mo asked with a smile: "What? Are you ready to make a confession? Have you figured out how to deceive me?"
"How dare you, sir? We...we just saw that you were too nervous and didn't dare to look at you."
"Yes, yes..." As soon as Yi Wenbin finished speaking, Liu Daxiang hurriedly replied a few times.
When Lin Mo saw this, he sneered and said: "One is smooth-tongued and the other looks honest, but in fact he is full of evil intentions and is trying to trick me. Are you afraid that you are getting tired of life?"
"Don't dare, don't dare..." The two of them hurriedly assured, Yi Wenbin smiled coquettishly while returning, while Liu Daxiang shrank and continued to act like an honest man.
Lin Mo didn't want to get entangled with the two of them anymore, so he said directly: "We have divided your people into the front yard, the main yard, the back yard and the shop floor, and they are all tried separately.
Even if you and the people in the front yard have all colluded to make confessions, so what? Can you guarantee that the other three places are the same as what you gave? If you are not honest, you will be able to compare the confessions everywhere.
So, you two should tell the truth honestly! Do you know why I can bring you two up directly? That's because someone has already told you."
The two people's faces turned pale, then turned pale again. They looked at each other and continued to remain silent. Lin Mo didn't speak a word, but just stared at the two of them.
In the end, it was Yi Wenbin who couldn't hold back his anger and said: "Master, it's not that we don't want to explain things clearly, it's because we said it... After we said it, we couldn't get along anymore, so we didn't dare to say it."
"Yes..." After Yi Wenbin finished speaking, Liu Daxiang continued: "Since the official has asked about us, he must know our situation.
Compared to other people in the bank, the two of us were forced in and forced to work for the bank through coercion and bribery. Our status is already very low and anyone can bully us.
If we reveal anything again now, it will be even more difficult in the future. We are both people with ties in Nanjing. If we continue to do this, we will really have no choice in the future, and we still need to ask the official to show his favor."
Lin Mo heard this and said: "I already understand all this, as long as you tell me the situation truthfully, you don't have to think about it.
Even if what you explain satisfies me, maybe I will give you another way, another choice, so that you don’t have to worry about these things in the future."
Lin Mo had already learned clearly about the abilities of these two people from the gangsters who had just interrogated them. One was a highly skilled thief, and the other was an inconspicuous tracking expert.
Putting such people here would be a waste. Lin Mo was confident that if he recruited the two of them and trained them a little, they would be useful in the future.
Although Lin Mo didn't say it clearly, both of them understood what it meant. Yi Wenbin seemed a little excited. Although he hadn't figured out Lin Mo's identity yet, based on the actions of Lin Mo and others just now, he knew it must be the banker.
Untouchable.
For Yi Wenbin, this was enough. He really didn't want to stay in the bank and be threatened and angered.
As for whether this will continue to be the case in a new place, Yi Wenbin has also thought about it, but at least the person in front of him makes him feel much better than Scarface. Even if he continues to be angry, at least his identity will be different by then, and maybe he can still
In turn, bully the banker.
After flirting for a while, Yi Wenbin was about to speak but was stopped by Lin Mo because Lin Mo was still waiting for Liu Daxiang's statement.
Compared to Yi Wenbin's happy expression, Liu Daxiang's face remained as calm as ever, with only his slightly furrowed eyebrows revealing a hint of his inner tangle.
The more Lin Mo looked at it, the more satisfied he became. An ordinary, ordinary, honest guy with few characteristics, someone who would not be noticed if thrown into a crowd of people, was simply born...
Lin Mo thought about it. Liu Daxiang had been thinking about it for a long time. Even though there was too much uncertainty in agreeing, he still decided to nod.
"Okay, you must understand what I mean, so let's start your performance now! I need to know the reason why you arrested Sun Xinhui, and tell me all the relevant circumstances.
I know that you must know the best, because if the bank wants to accomplish these things, it is unlikely that it will bypass you two, and I have found out clearly that you two are indeed involved in this matter."
After Lin Mo finished speaking, Yi Wenbin wanted to speak first, but was stopped by Liu Daxiang. He felt a little dissatisfied and turned around to look.
"Let me tell you! I know more things than you and I am more organized than you."
After saying that, Liu Daxiang ignored Yi Wenbin's reaction and said to Lin Mo: "Sir, the matter of Sun Xinhui starts with another group of people exchanging silver ingots at the bank.
It's been a long time, so I don't remember it too clearly. I just remember that someone brought a batch of silver ingots and exchanged them for cash that day. I happened to meet my second brother... no, Cao Jiafu.
Not long after the craze for treasure hunting started, Cao Jiafu recognized that the silver ingots brought by the other party were recently dug up. He suspected that there might be more, and he got greedy, so he sent me to lead someone...
...After tracking the other party's residence, we checked the history of that compound and found that it was the residence of a wealthy businessman before the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the family never appeared again.
Moreover, among the people in Nanjing, there were also rumors that the wealthy businessman’s property, Tianguo, was not confiscated. In addition, the silver ingots exchanged were indeed from that period, so we...
...The reason for targeting Sun Xinhui was because the other party secretly met with Sun Xinhui once, and seeing the way the other party was communicating happily, he suspected that they might be accomplices and had something to do with the treasure, so he targeted him.
Later, we investigated Sun Xinhui and found that he was just a small speculator at first, but somehow he suddenly made a lot of money and became a nouveau riche, which further confirmed our speculation..."
After hearing this and thinking about the information provided by Sun Xin'an, Lin Mo finally understood how the bank got involved in Sun Xinhui's matter. It turned out to be a coincidence and a misunderstanding.
Liu Daxiang spoke in great detail, basically restoring the whole story from the beginning. Even though he had already talked about Sun Xinhui, he did not stop talking about the other group of people, but told everything that happened during that period of time.
Yi Wenbin wanted to move several times, but was stopped by Lin Mo's eyes, because Lin Mo had some vague suspicions in his heart, whether the information Sun Xinhui wanted to provide was related to the person targeted by the bank.
After all, according to Liu Daxiang's story, when he was following him, the other party's anti-investigation capabilities were not bad. In addition, after Sun Xinhui met with the other party, the bank happened to send people to keep an eye on him. If it was the same coincidence, Lin Moxin, but there were many coincidences.
Lin Mo wouldn't believe it.
"...We monitored these people for a long time, but we didn't see each other hunting for treasure. Instead, someone suddenly went to Xiaguan and left by boat. This made me feel vaguely uneasy.
It wasn't until the person who left came back and brought back a noble gentleman that we were watching that day. All the people we were watching went to the pier, respectfully welcomed the man back, and marched to a hotel halfway.
Our agent found a person inside the hotel and found out that his name is Liu Yibin, with a Sichuan accent. In addition, there are rumors that these people are from the Liu family in Sichuan, we..."
‘Wharf? Welcome? Car... Why does this feeling feel inexplicably familiar?’ Lin Mo thought about it, made a bold guess, and whispered a few instructions in Shi Baocun’s ear, asking him to go out and get some things.
As for the Liu family and Liu Yibin, Lin Mo didn't believe it. It was true that the Liu family produced two warlords. As Dayan was the main source of funding for the warlords in the Republic of China, Lin Mo would definitely not believe it if the Liu family was not involved.
But Lin Mo didn't really believe that he had reached out to Nanjing to do this. After all, the Liu family member was not the boss of Sichuan Province yet, so doing so would obviously touch Nanjing's bottom line.
Even if there is a Military Intelligence Department, they would know something about it. After all, the Military Intelligence Department is said to be responsible for counter-espionage in the military and police. In fact, it is just to monitor the military, especially those who are not directly related to the government.
However, Lin Mo had not come into contact with these, nor did he think about it. Anyway, when the things Shi Baocun went back to get later arrived, it would be clear whether this group of people were fake or not.
Lin Mo is now becoming more and more interested in this group of people. Is it really as he guessed? If it is, then he has picked up the clues that he has failed to find despite all his efforts.
