Quasi called two of his subordinates and asked them to focus on sorting out the actions of Quan Quan and Cheng Benzhi in the past two months.
However, he soon became disappointed. Jing Chu's movement trajectory and interpersonal circle could not be simpler. She almost never left home and stayed on campus every day. Occasionally when she left school, she went to the printing office opposite. There was no doubt about it.
It can be said.
What about Cheng Benzhi? He just arrived in Kaohsiung more than a month ago. He has no acquaintances here except one brother, and his trajectory and interpersonal circle are very simple.
"This is so rare!" Quan Quan scratched his head. What exactly is the problem? Do we really need to search the entire city to get clues?
In the next few days, he did not get any useful clues. Cheng Bengang's suggestion of sorting out the routes of the thieves' activities on campus did not yield any useful information, because too much time had passed and there were no traces or remnants on the ground.
Already.
Licensing issued an order, ordering people and goods leaving Kaohsiung to be strictly inspected. At the same time, pictures of related items were sent to customs and port personnel to assist in the inspection.
But this was of no great use. Xu Xu actually had no hope of recovering the lost property. But at this time, new clues came from the Kaohsiung Machinery Factory.
After identification by the naturalized migrant workers in the machinery factory, the copied spare key was made of materials from the Kaohsiung Machinery Factory, and may have been leftover materials from the production of the gold processing workshop.
After Xu Gui's men spared no effort to compare all the clamps in the whole factory, they finally found a vise that matched the marks on the key. Xiao Gui clamped similar metal materials and took them out to compare the marks.
Yes, the results are exactly the same.
"Who has been using this vise in the past few months?" Xiao Gui asked the workshop director.
The workshop director said that these days this vise is mostly used by a worker nicknamed "Big Tou Zhao". This person was transferred from Lingao not long ago. Because his hands and feet were not clean, he stole brass from the factory, so he was assigned.
Arrive in Kaohsiung for "supervision".
Although the Kaohsiung Machinery Factory also belongs to the industrial sector, it is under the jurisdiction of the Navy in Kaohsiung, which is equivalent to military control. The regulations and punishment system are very strict.
When Xiao Gui heard that it was him, he immediately informed Quan Xu of the situation. When Xu Gui heard that he had found clues to the key, he became energetic. He immediately sent someone to quietly capture "Big Tou Zhao".
As soon as he arrived at the police station, he naturally recruited everything. His real name was Zhao Genfa, who was originally from Songjiang Prefecture, Nanzhi Province. He had learned the coppersmith craftsmanship since he was a child. However, he had not followed the right path since he was a child, specializing in stealing various padlock keys for people. Finally,
One day, he failed and was sent to Shandong by the army. Then he ended up in Lingao by accident during Operation Engine.
Because he had the skills of a coppersmith, he naturally entered the factory and became a worker. However, his old habits were hard to change, and he was finally sent to Kaohsiung again.
The key was indeed matched by Datou Zhao, and the materials were randomly picked up from the scrap pile in the workshop. However, he did not admit that he had stolen from the National School, and kept complaining, saying that a "friend" asked him to match it. He could not erase it.
Because of his face and covetousness for money, he thought it was just an ordinary key, so he gave it to him.
"What is your friend's name? Where is he now?" Xu Xu asked.
"I don't know where he is. I only know that he was exiled to Kaohsiung with me. His name is Sun Ninghai and he is from Gaozhou." Zhao Afa said that Sun Ninghai did not know where he settled after arriving in Kaohsiung.
The two met again after catching up on the seaside. Sun invited him to drink, and the two got in touch, which led to the subsequent matter of matching the key.
As for where Sun Ninghai lived and what job he was currently engaged in, he never asked, and Sun Ninghai never told him.
Xu Li immediately asked someone to go to the city government to obtain information about Sun Ninghai. Since he arrived in Kaohsiung with Zhao Afa, the information should not be difficult to find.
Since Sun Ninghai came to Kaohsiung through the exile channel, he must have a specific place to stay. These exiles are under supervision before the expiration period. Although there are no jailers or cells, exiles need to go to the territory regularly
Report to the police. Once he escapes without legitimate reasons, he will be wanted. It should not be difficult to find his whereabouts.
"Besides these, what else do you know about Sun Ninghai?"
"I don't know anything else. I only know that when he was in Gaozhou, he made a living by selling smuggled salt and hung out in a salt gang called the 'Haisha Gang'". He was arrested and exiled during the Senate's anti-smuggling operation.
Come to Kaohsiung.
"Haisha Gang?" Quan Quan thought for a long time but couldn't come up with any useful information. However, if necessary, he can notify the National Police Headquarters in Lingao to see if there are similar keywords in their files that can be used to search for useful information.
.
Datou Zhao swore and swore again, saying that he had nothing to do with the theft, and that he only matched the key for someone out of love.
"It doesn't matter, let's leave it aside for now. You can go back to work in the factory and report back if you have any news." Xuancheng decided not to arrest him for the time being, but only monitored him and dealt with him after Sun Ninghai was caught.
From the city government's archives, the scouts quickly found information about Sun Ninghai. He and Zhao Afa were exiled to Kaohsiung in the same batch and are currently working in the Kaohsiung Salt Farm.
The scouts caught Sun Ninghai without much effort.
Sun Ninghai readily admitted that he was the one who gave the key to Datou Zhao because someone asked him to match it. As for where the key came from, he didn't know.
"Who asked you to match the key?"
Sun Ninghai looked at him at first, but soon cooperated. He confessed that the person who asked him to match the key was also a member of the Haisha Gang, and his name was Sha Zhaodeng.
"He was also captured by the coast police when they were caught selling smuggled salt, and he was also exiled to the local area."
"Where does he work?"
Sun Ninghai said that he did not know the specific situation of this person, and they only recognized each other by chance on the street. He also did not know where Sha's key came from. It was purely because the other party knew that he had a way to match the key, and gave him another piece of money.
Money, that's what he helped with.
However, the scouts sent to the city government to check the files did not find the name Sha Zhaodeng at all. In the batches before and after Sun Ninghai and Zhao Afa were exiled, there was no one named Sha Zhaodeng, not even anyone named Sha.
After Xu Ninghai got the news, he asked two people to "persuade" Sun Ninghai, and then Sun Ninghai confessed the truth.
Sha Zhaodeng is indeed a real person, he is the boss of Gaozhou Haisha Gang. Sun Ninghai belongs to this gang.
The Haisha Gang is a local private salt dealer group in Gaozhou. It was originally quite powerful in Gaozhou. After the Australians infiltrated into Leizhou, they supported the local salt dealer Liu Gang, severely squeezing the Haisha Gang's territory. After several meetings with Liu Gang,
After the war, the Haisha Gang was defeated. With the victory of the second counter-encirclement and suppression campaign, the forces of the Senate penetrated into the boundaries of Lei, Lian, and Gaozhou, and carried out the "Ming Pi Ao Xin". The Haisha Gang's sphere of influence became larger and larger.
The business of smuggling salt was shrinking, and the business of smuggling salt was almost unstoppable due to the anti-smuggling operation of the Australian Coast Guard. Sun Ninghai was captured during an anti-smuggling operation by the Coast Guard.
After being captured, he didn't know anything about the Haisha Gang until he met Sha Zhaodeng on the streets of Kaohsiung two months ago.
Sha Zhaodeng did not say how he came to Kaohsiung or where he would settle down. He just told him vaguely that he was going to do something "big" in Kaohsiung and asked him if he was willing to "assist."
"... Xiao Xiao was frightened at that time, but after all, he was Xiao's past gang leader, and Xiao Xiao's family was still in Gaozhou, so he didn't dare to make any mistakes, so he agreed to him indiscriminately."
Sun Ninghai looked pitiful as he was "forced to have no choice". However, Xu Xu knew that the scouts found twenty taels of silver from his dormitory. This thing is rare in Kaohsiung, because what is circulating in the local market is grain.
For Dutch people who come to Kaohsiung to make purchases, they must first exchange them for circulation coupons.
"What did he make you do?"
"He asked me if I was familiar with the national school..."
I feel relieved now. I finally got to the point.
"How did you answer?"
"Of course I said I'm not familiar with it." Sun Ninghai spread his hands, "I've only passed by this place a few times, but I've never been in it - and I'm not allowed to go in."
"Then what?"
Sun Ninghai said that Sha Zhaodeng ordered him to go to West Third Lane of Guanghua Road at night to see where he could climb over the wall. He asked me to try to cut a gap in the bamboo fence to climb over the wall.
"you go?"
"Yes, the younger one did go. He also climbed up the fence and chopped off two sharp thorns."
"You didn't enter the school?"
"The little one did not enter the school." Sun Ninghai said, "The little one doesn't know the way inside, so what's the use of going in?"
Xu Xu cross-examined him repeatedly for a long time, but Sun Ninghai still insisted on his statement that he only cut off the spikes and did not enter the school. Moreover, his statement could withstand certain scrutiny. He was completely negative about Kaohsiung National School.
What if I climb over the wall?
Xu Xu asked again: "How long did it take before you saw Sha Zhaodeng again after cutting off the bamboo thorns?"
"Just last Monday. He gave me a key and asked me to find a key from Da Tou Zhao. After Da Tou Zhao took it, he got it back the next day. I gave it to Sha Zhaodeng on Wednesday.
"
Li Li looked at the date and found that the projector went missing on Monday morning. In other words, the projector was stolen between Wednesday night and Sunday night.
Now that the context is roughly clear, the only thing that remains unclear is how the key got into Sha Zhaoden's hands. Of course, as long as the person is caught, the mystery will be solved.
The top priority is to catch the leader of the Haisha Gang!
"What does Sha Zhaodeng look like? What are his specific characteristics? Where does he usually meet you? Think about it carefully. It's best to remember everything." Xu Xu said, "Otherwise, I will send two
