ww.x.om Wei Bachi looked at his watch and saw that an hour had passed and it was noon. Zhong Lishi said to Li Shun: "Look, half an hour has passed. Since you
If you don't want to say anything, I think you are in trouble. Dinner is about to start, why don't we talk after lunch first?"
Li Shun said to Wei Bachi: "Mr. Wei, I really have to play this card myself - we fishermen have a hard time. We can't sleep at night and have to watch the sea. We rely on touching Pai Gow for entertainment."
"Your Pai Gow doesn't come in a complete set. Why do you only have a few tiles? Where are the others?" Wei Bachi had just seen his belongings that were found. There were three or four dominoes in them. It was impossible to use them.
Playing Pai Gow.
"I lost it while playing..." Li Shun blinked, "Sir, you are wise! Our boat is bumping up and down every day, and if you are not careful, you will lose a few pieces."
Wei Bachi shook his head: "You play cards by yourself, why do you mark the cards? Which casino's mark is two short and one long?!"
"This..." Li Shun didn't expect the Australians to know this. He was stunned for a moment and said with a sad face, "Master, this matter is shady. If the boss of the casino finds out, he will kill me."
Wei Bachi: "Don't worry! We will keep it a secret for you and will never tell it. Besides, I didn't ask you to help in vain..." As he said this, he took out a piece of silver from his pocket and put it on the table.
When Li Shun saw the thing, he suddenly smiled. But when he thought about it carefully, he became sad again: "I...I still have a wife and children..."
Wei Bachi smiled slightly and took out another piece of silver from his arms. When Li Shun saw the two pieces of silver on the table, he stopped talking and sighed: "I still have an eighty-year-old mother at home..."
Wei Bachi said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to have such filial piety." Then he called out: "Come here."
Immediately outside the door, a short naturalized worker with a wretched appearance came in, wearing a blue collar badge.
"It's lunch time, please treat Li Xiaozi well." He looked at his watch, "I'll give you five minutes to use the truth to influence him." Wei Bachi walked out of the house with a smile.
Wei Bachi came to the corridor outside the house. The short naturalized man closed the door from the inside, and then heard a crisp sound of dislocated joints, followed by a scream like a slaughtered pig. Wei
Bachi took out a cigar, lit it, and slowly blew out smoke rings. At this time, Xu Xu had come back, and when he saw Wei Bachi smoking outside the house, he said:
"What? You are so quick to use the iron fist of dictatorship?"
Wei Bachi helplessly shrugged his shoulders: "I must be too kind..."
After a while, the staff member for naturalized citizens came out. He stood up to attention and said, "Report to the chief, he said he is willing to say anything."
Wei Bachi looked at his watch: "Three minutes." He said to Xu Xu, "Are the people from your General Administration of Political Security very capable?"
"I'm from the Intelligence Bureau." Xu Xu had to correct him. This naturalized citizen of the Political Security Bureau was a former yamen servant in Qiongzhou Prefecture, specializing in torture and extorting confessions. He was cruel and without moral integrity. It was very useful.
thug.
According to Li Shun's explanation: the dominoes he was carrying were forged from a casino in Jinjiang County, Quanzhou Prefecture. The owner of the casino was Lin Shimao. The murderer who was killed was named Mori Hisakatsu, a Japanese. He and Li Shun were old acquaintances, but
The two are not very familiar.
Mori Kusheng killed people in Japan and fled to China with the "Tang Ship". He has been living in various places in Quanzhou doing some shady business. According to Li Shun, he has killed many people and is a ruthless killer. Because he has been around Quanzhou all year round.
Can speak good Hokkien.
Li Shun was caught by Lin Shimao for cheating. He originally said that he would stamp one of his hands. Later, Lin Shimao said that as long as he followed Mori Jiu Sheng to Taiwan, he would forget about it and give him another twenty taels.
The benefits of silver.
In the name of applying for jobs as handymen, he and Mori Kusheng got on a large fishing boat that came to Taiwan waters to fish, and thus came to Kaohsiung.
After arriving in Kaohsiung, Li Shun ran errands for him according to Mori Kusheng's instructions, including stealing the uniforms - Li Shun's main job is to be a thief. After stealing the uniforms, he handed them over to Li Shun. And then
I don't know what happened.
As for what Mori Kusheng came to Kaohsiung for, he had no idea. He only knew that he was following Mori Kusheng's orders. After Mori Kusheng was killed, he was very scared, but he could not leave Kaohsiung, so he had to wait for the opening of the port before sneaking away.
"What? He didn't know about killing Zhang Qianniu?" Xu Xu asked.
However, he was not the one who killed Sen Jiu Sheng. Li Shun didn't know who killed him - but he said that Sen Jiu Sheng should have acquaintances here, and he would often go out alone to meet people.
The most terrible thing is that Li Shun doesn't even know the details of Zhang Qianniu's murder - he only knows that Mori Jiu Sheng killed someone.
"Is this just a little minion running errands?" Wei Bachi was very disappointed with his confession.
"At least we have a new clue." Although Xu Xu said this, his brows were still furrowed. It seems that this mysterious third person is the key. The investigation work will continue.
The guards took Li Shun out, who was lying on the ground. Wei Bachi shook his head and ordered: "Find a doctor to take a look at him. We are a legal society. We must be humane." He dusted off the cigarette ashes.
"What should we do next?" Wei Bachi asked.
"First, we have to continue the investigation and catch the third person - also the key person." Xu Xu said.
Li Shun was an errand boy, and Mori Kusheng was just a killer. The key figure was the person who actually hid behind the scenes and directed and silenced Mori Kusheng.
Once you catch him, the truth will come to light.
Wei Bachi was a little regretful: "After a long time of trouble, we still can't find out who wants to assassinate Vestri."
"It's obvious. We just can't prove it."
"One official."
"He is the biggest suspect." Xu Xu said, "Of course there are other possibilities. But I think in this time and space, the conspiracy will not be too complicated. And he will benefit the most from mobilizing the relationship between us and the Dutch.
."
"Why did Zheng Yiguan send a Japanese here?"
"Don't forget that Zheng Yiguan has a lot of power in Japan. Yan Siqi has been operating in Japan for a long time and is very talkative with the shogunate. Zheng Zhilong inherited Yan Siqi's team, and he must have inherited part of these relationships. Besides, Zheng Chenggong's
The Matagawa family is Japanese." Xu Xu said, "Japanese people can be found everywhere along the coast of East Asia. They are rootless people and are good materials to serve as cannon fodder for killers."
"With these materials in hand, we can finally give an explanation to the Boncourts and their daughter."
"It's not yet a thorough investigation. Because we only know it ourselves. If we want them to fully believe it, we must provide strong evidence." Xu Xu said, "We must catch the third person!"
This third man is still in Kaohsiung, but there are currently no more clues - the only clue that Xu has is that this man can shoot blowguns.
However, a blowgun is an item that is easy to conceal and easy to dispose of. No suspicious barrel-shaped object was found during the search, indicating that the person may have disposed of the murder weapon.
Xu Xu thought to himself that this opponent was quite capable. He decided to start by sorting out the captured suspects. In addition, Li Shun and the people on his fishing boat could also ask again, maybe they could get some new clues.
.
On the one hand, he allowed people to continue interrogating the suspect. Once again, he reorganized the facts of the case. He also interviewed Zhong Xiaoying and asked her to recall all the details of the pursuit of Mori Kusheng.
Zhong Xiaoying provided a clue when reminiscing: She probably remembered where Mori Kusheng jumped into the sea from.
"Do you remember?" Xuexi was overjoyed, "Let's go see the scene!"
"But my memory may not be accurate..."
"It doesn't matter, we'll talk about it after we get there."
Then he took Zhong Xiaoying to the fishing boat dock where Mori Jiu Sheng was killed. Although there was no monitoring equipment on the dock, and it was impossible to access the surveillance to find out the exact location of Mori Jiu Sheng when he was killed, he roughly knew how far away from the dock he was.
The place where the person was hit - according to Zhong Xiaoying's recollection, the person probably swam 15 to 20 meters away.
"He should have jumped from this place." Zhong Xiaoying pointed. There is a row of wooden piles along the pier to tie the cables. "I don't remember which one it is." She looked at the wooden piles carefully, as if thinking.
Trying to recall the details of the day.
"I'm sorry, I can't remember." She said with regret, and then looked around, "But it's right between these three or four piles."
The distance was about ten meters. Xu roughly drew the terrain and direction on the pad. He then marked the location where Mori Hisakatsu was probably hit.
Xu Xu knows that even the range of modern blowguns is very limited. In this time and space, the handmade blowguns are roughly processed and cannot be made very long even if they are portable. Therefore, their effective range is extremely short, no more than 20 meters at best.
Based on the distance and the angle of the blowgun, he quickly calculated the approximate location of the blowgun launch.
"Let's go to the port to have a look." Xu Xu took Zhong Xiaoying to the port of the fishing boat wharf.
The naturalized civilian cadre who served as the port director was a retired navy man. When he saw the chief of the navy coming, he quickly stood at attention and saluted.
"Take a break!" Xu Xu said, "I want to check where the ship was berthed on the day of the incident."
"Yes, sir." said the harbor master. "The position of the ship has not changed from that day to now. I will show you the berth map."
After entering the port, every civilian ship must berth at the designated berth of the port office. Each ship has a corresponding number marked on the port plan. It is basically clear at a glance. Permit compared with his own sketch, and quickly delineated the location that can be launched.
