Shi Baocun handed over the targets on the mountain to the special operations team to be responsible for tracking them. After monitoring, they deployed manpower to conduct preliminary investigation work in the previously agreed upon investigation direction.
After Shi Baocun came back and made a report, he went to the bank again and learned about the situation. The money was indeed tampered with by the bank, but there is currently no news about the money.
Someone had an idea for the bank before. The bank found someone who secretly minted silver coins and secretly obtained a batch of oceans containing more than 70% of the silver. They had made various manipulations on the patterns of the oceans. If there were any suspicious targets in front of them,
To exchange money, they will mix the problematic ocean into it so that they can track the whereabouts of the money in the future.
The underground banks must have some intentions to engage in such crooked ways! They passively wait for people to come to their doorstep, so the probability is low, so naturally they want to make more money when they encounter them.
Once the mixed funds are circulated, it is possible to follow the traces of the money and find the other party's up and down lines, and it is not even ruled out that they can touch other spy groups. The credit of the bank will naturally be higher than simply providing a clue.
The business model of underground banks is, to put it bluntly, similar to underground exchanges, except that their business target is the domestic currency, which is so chaotic that it makes people's scalp numb.
Silver dollars have differences in fineness, specifications, etc. Silver dollars can be exchanged with copper, nickel and other auxiliary coins, various bank notes, local or foreign banknotes, and even gold and silver, because silver is regarded as the benchmark, and the silver price fluctuates from time to time. Sometimes the price comparison takes a day
The same thing, so a lot of demand was generated, giving institutions like underground banks room to make profits.
Moreover, underground banks are only a small part of this business. Upstream, there are also those who forge and privately manufacture various coins, sell them based on price differences in different regions, and many other ways to make profits.
In the midstream, in addition to underground banks, there are also formal banks, banks, silver houses and other places that are also engaged in this business, but the underground banks are involved in something grayer and darker than them.
Downstream, there are some small shops on the street that do full-time or part-time exchange business, or money dealers on the street. In addition to that shop, underground banks also have many such small shops, money dealers and other offline banks.
To engage in crooked ways, you also need the network woven by these downlines with tentacles reaching out to all parts of the city.
Because the quality of oceans varies greatly, from counterfeit and fake oceans, to inferior oceans with low silver content, to sub-par oceans with insufficient fineness, and then to standard oceans of sufficient quality and even high-quality oceans with excellent fineness.
Bad money drives out good money. Most people need to spend money, so they naturally tend to spend the bad ones and hide the good ones. This is basically the choice of everyone from traffickers to bosses and shopkeepers.
Fake foreign products include those covered with lead in silver leather, and some that are mixed with too many other metals and contain very low silver content are also considered fake foreign products. Most of them are used to deceive or deceive others, but most of them are so shoddy that most people can tell the difference.
If you take a little precaution, you won't be scammed. Most of them are used for deception and have little liquidity.
The inferior foreign currency, with a silver content of 50% to 60%, can be spent normally, but at vendors and shops, the discount is relatively large, so you will first find people like money dealers to exchange it.
Generally speaking, the silver content of foreign exchange can exceed 70%, which is relatively common in the market. Of course, it still needs to be discounted, and usually it is still exchanged for reuse. However, some small stall owners will also keep it for themselves and use it, so they don’t have to find money dealers to exchange it. The discount is the same.
Money dealers are almost the same, so a considerable amount of money will never pass through the hands of money dealers.
These bad and sub-foreign goods will eventually flow to underground banks through offline hands, and then be exchanged in batches to those in need. As for who is in need? There are shady businessmen, bosses, and even military and government officials, who will eventually circulate again and the cycle continues.
Going through this process also gives underground banks the opportunity to inspect and trace.
In fact, from the surface, it would be more appropriate to choose inferior foreign currency with a silver content of 50% to 60% for adulterated money. After all, the money can quickly flow back to underground banks, and the number of times it will pass through the hands will not be many, making it easier to trace the source.
However, if the quality is too poor, if the other party cannot be fooled by on-site inspection, and it is too eye-catching, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not arouse the other party's suspicion.
Secondly, you can't mix a lot of it, only a small amount. If the inferior foreign goods are discounted too much, the other party may keep their status and abandon them. Even if they are short of money, this little money can't solve any problem. If the coins are not circulated, this method will be ineffective.
.
Using sub-foreign products as fakes can be regarded as taking into account these problems. After verification, it was found that it was easy to fool the other party if it was mixed with sub-foreign products, and it would not attract the attention of the other party. Because it is relatively common and can be spent normally, it is unlikely to be shelved, and it is not likely to be ignored.
As for saving the sub-prime, it is most likely to be spent on daily expenses, so choosing the sub-prime is a better solution than the sub-prime.
For standard oceans, it is fine if the silver content is more than 80%. Although it has not reached the standards set by the government, how many oceans are minted by the government in full according to the set standards? Most of the oceans minted by the government are at this level.
Since it is already a standard foreign currency, it can naturally be spent normally, because it is already the best quality among the large quantities of silver coins circulating in the market. All kinds of goods and services are basically priced at this price. Of course, deposits and withdrawals in some regular banks can still be made.
There will be a discount.
Of course, there are better quality ones, which are cast in strict accordance with the standards and made of silver, nine, copper, or silver, eighty-nine copper, which are high-quality oceans. But most people, such as shops, basically just save them after they receive them. Generally,
They won't be spent anymore, so there aren't many circulating in the market, and you can get a premium if you exchange them with money dealers.
The above are all based on the standard weight of one silver dollar as an example. There are other standards for half-round coins. Most of them use the silver seven and copper three standards. Moreover, although some oceans are of sufficient quality, they will manipulate the overall weight of the silver dollar.
We also need to discount these. Anyway, there are so many twists and turns and doorways that I can’t explain them all at once.
After understanding the situation, Shi Baocun could not think of any good solution for the time being. He could only ask the underground bank to continue to pay attention to the whereabouts of the money and notify him immediately if there were any clues.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When he went back to report, Shi Baocun already knew that the person who was monitoring and spying in Xiaguan was arrested, so when he and He Zujie separated after reporting, they had already communicated to conduct a more careful inspection of the remaining target areas.
Investigation and platoon operations.
I don't know whether he really thought that all the intelligence forces of the government in Nanjing were devoted to finding the person, or whether he really didn't care. Many clues had already been gathered when Shi Baocun was reunited.
The clues were found by their own people, and there were also relevant clues compiled and sent by Zhang Hongxin in the team. Shi Baocun exchanged opinions with He Zujie, and then sent multiple teams to verify and investigate.
…
On Du Mingsheng's side, he carefully conducted some peripheral research around the phone address, because Lin Mo suspected that this phone might be an important contact node, and the connection might not only be at the teahouse. To prevent exposure, Du Mingsheng could only be cautious.
Be careful.
The target is a row of three-and-a-half-story apartment buildings distributed along Cha Street. The first floor is a layout of front store and back living. The second and third floors are high-end apartment suites, similar to modern commercial buildings. The street side is an aisle. From
Apartments for singles or couples ranging from tens of square meters to normal apartments of 180 square meters to larger high-end apartments. Apartments in the Republic of China generally refer to separate residences in the form of buildings.
The remaining half floor is a sloping layout on the roof, and the attic space inside is divided into small rooms. It is not only rented, but also rented to apartment tenants in the building. It is generally used to house the tenants, servants, and nannies.
.
The two rows of apartments on Buchangcha Street are owned by the same company and are only for rent, not for sale. Most of the tenants in the building are middle- and high-level executives and managers from the surrounding companies.
Each apartment is equipped with a telephone, and several numbers in the apartment can be shared. When a call comes, it is to the office that manages the apartment affairs. After picking up the phone, you will find out who you are calling, and then transferred to the corresponding office.
Phone in the apartment.
This situation is generally chosen by tenants with short-term rentals and few calls. After all, the cost of using a separate phone is not low. This is actually a form of public phone, but someone will help you transfer it indoors.
The other is to use a separate number alone. Although the cost is higher, not many people use it. After all, many tenants are middle and high-level managers of the company, and the phone is used frequently, so the public number cannot meet the needs.
The bad news is that the target is using one of the public numbers of the apartment. The good news is that many people in the apartment go to work during the day and there are not many calls. The person who transfers the call remembers who the call is for.
The consequence of the bad news is that the investigation team cannot easily find suspicious targets through the call records of the numbers. They can only use the transfer operator to recall which calls were made to the target, but the transfer operator has to transfer a lot of calls a day, and
There is no relevant record, so I can only pray that I can remember more. Fortunately, the time period is relatively close, and the transfer person also recalled and confirmed a few calls.
The good news is that we know the exact address of the target, and most of the people living here are some respectable people. In order to prevent something from happening and ruining their reputation, the owner will record the tenant's identity, work, etc. in detail when renting a house. Some information is incomplete or illegal.
Professionals will not rent.
After investigation, it was found in the records that the other party's name was Yan Daming, a native of Lu. He graduated from a college in Shanghai and later worked for a foreign company in the concession. After working for a few years, he was sent to Nanjing. However, the company was located in Xiaguan, which was not close to here. His rhetoric was
He needs to be responsible for contacting customers in this area before renting a house here.
Since the identity information, work certificates, etc. were complete, the apartment called the other company and asked the other company. Yan Da found out that it was an employee and let the other party rent a single apartment.
These were naturally forgeries. After verification by the team members, it was found that a person named Yan Daming had indeed worked in that company, but he was not sent from Shanghai. Instead, he obtained a trial opportunity as a junior clerk through bribery.
However, he left without saying goodbye after working for less than half a month. The identity information and certificates he left there were also very different from those left in the apartment. It is estimated that he left here just to successfully move in.
Although people in the apartment later felt that something was wrong when they saw him staying at home all day long, seeing that he looked gloomy and silent all day long, they just thought that there might be some problem at work and that he was on the verge of being squeezed out, so they didn't pay much attention to it.
The apartment has put some thought into some things, but it can only be used to prevent some people in the society. Facing this kind of people who may have gone through strict professional spy training, it can only make people worry a little more.
However, he found out the identity of the other party so quickly and easily. He obviously didn't put much thought into hiding his identity. It may be that he just spent his time on letting people find out the problem. I guess he used a public number just to give him a clue.
If people add some obstacles, it will not be easy enough to cause suspicion.
Of course, these are just speculations at the moment, but various circumstances have further supported Lin Mo's speculations and suspicions. Du Mingsheng can only act more covertly and carefully.
Originally, he wanted to check to see if there were any lines leading to the office, so as to establish some facts. However, this place is a business, with many companies, etc., and the lines are densely packed. If he wanted to find out clearly, he would probably have to make some noise. Currently, he only wanted to find out.
Can give up temporarily.
After Lin Mo came back, he arranged the work of checking the call records. In addition, he asked Zeng Wenchong to arrange for personnel to monitor the phone calls of this number. On the one hand, giving some work to the other party, but on the other hand, the other party's personnel were better than those of the third team.
Much better at picking up clues from calls.
…
"...Who is this! How courageous..."
"...Just looking for death..."
"...Do you want to remind me?..."
"...It's not like he doesn't have eyesight? I don't see everyone hiding away? Can he listen?..."
In the spacious and brand-new cabin, Li Xiaorong heard the movement outside the door, opened the window and leaned out. In the stern aisle, Li's father was pointing with a group of captains at the lone ship sailing on the river not far away.
These people made a living by boating around Nanjing. However, due to the arrival of Japanese warships, no one dared to sail the boat to the river. They could only park the boat on waterways such as small tributaries, forked rivers, and inlets to avoid disasters.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The article below is the new ship that the Li family and his son bought from the second group at a low price with rewards after assisting the second group in the mission. The result
After just two trips, we were blocked by the Japanese at this river fork.
However, this ship was not the kind of fast iron ship that Li Dayan had initially set his sights on. It was not that the action team regretted not selling it, but that it gave up and switched to another one after consideration.
After all, it is an iron ship. No matter how low the price is, the iron of the ship is not cheap for him, and the engine on the ship is even more expensive. He just used all his savings as a reward and then sold the small steamer. He may still have to owe a debt.
Come for repairs and renovations.
What's more, ships usually have to consume oil, and he didn't have a suitable business for this kind of ship. After thinking about it, he wanted to buy an old large cannon ship at a low price. When Zheng Junshan found out, he simply discounted it and gave it to him as a reward, and he used
I used my savings to renovate the ship and start medium and long-distance passenger transportation near Nanjing.
"Are you looking for death? These guys actually ran to the deck and stared at the Japanese warships. Where did they come from? They don't know whether to live or die!"
Li Xiaorong looked around and saw that everyone on the ship had indeed run to the deck to stare at the warship in the river. However, before he could get a clear look, those people were driven back to the cabin.
Seeing the boat sailing past not far from the warship, Li Xiaorong jumped out of the window, twisted through the crowd, jumped from the stern of the boat onto his small steamer, and urged a young man on the boat to join the boat.
Coal ignites fire.
In the end, Li's father was reluctant to sell the small steamer. He borrowed some of the missing repair money from relatives and left the small steamer to Li Xiaorong to run and run his usual routes for exercise.
"What else do you want to do at this time? Just stay here..." Father Li asked sternly, with an expression of hatred for steel.
"I'm going back to the city for something, don't worry! Even people with big ships will look down on me, and people with this little broken ship probably won't even bother to take a look at it."
Hearing this, Li Dayan frowned and said, "It's okay to go back. This place is too close to those warships, but you can't cross the river directly. You can take the Zhujiashan (River) and pass the waterway over there to the Qili River.
Then cross the river from Jiangxinzhou, you should remember the way! I have taken you through it several times."
"I know, I know..." Li Xiaorong waved his hand impatiently and ran into the cab. Li Dayan had no choice but to call out another young man in the cabin and asked him to keep an eye on Li Xiaorong.
