Wei Bachi looked at his watch. An hour had passed and it was almost noon. [Full text reading] Zhong Lishi said to Li Shun: "Look, it's already half an hour. Since you refuse to tell me, I think you are in trouble. Dinner is about to start, so why not eat first?" Let’s talk after lunch?”
Li Shun said to Wei Bachi: "Mr. Wei, I really have to play this card myself - we have a hard time fishing. We can't sleep at night and have to watch the sea. We just rely on playing Pai Gow for entertainment."
"You don't have a complete set of pai gow. 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! Every time our boat goes up and down, a few pieces will be lost accidentally."
Wei Bachi shook his head: "You play cards by yourself, why do you mark the cards? Two short and one long are the marks of which casino?!"
"This..." Li Shun didn't expect the Australian to actually 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 immediately beamed. But after thinking about it carefully, he frowned 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 in."
Immediately outside the door, a short naturalized civilian 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 opened 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. By this time Xu Xu had come back and saw Wei Bachi smoking outside the house and said:
"What? Are you so quick to use the iron fist of dictatorship?"
Wei Bachi helplessly shrugged his shoulders: "I am too good at entering the affirmation..."
After a while, the naturalized immigration officer came out. He stood up and said, "Reporter, he said he is willing to say anything."
Wei Bachi looked at his watch: "Three minutes." He said to Xu Xu, "Are the people in your General Political Security Administration very capable?"
"I'm from the Intelligence Bureau." Li Quan had to correct him. This naturalized citizen of the Political Security Bureau was a former yamen servant in Qiongzhou Prefecture. He specialized in torture and extorting confessions. His methods were brutal and without moral integrity. It's a very useful beater.
According to Li Shun's confession: the dominoes he carried 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, and he was a Japanese. He and Li Shun met on the 1st, but they were not very familiar with each other.
Mori Kusheng killed many people in Japan and fled to China with the "Tang Ship". He has been living in Qianhei business in various places in Quanzhou. According to Li Shun, he has killed many people and is a ruthless killer. Because I have been around Quanzhou all year round, I can speak pretty good Hokkien.
Li Shun was caught by Lin Shimao for cheating. He originally said that he would stomp 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 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 Mori Jiu Sheng according to his instructions, including stealing uniforms. Li Shun's real job was to be a thief. After the uniform was stolen, he handed it over to Li Shun, and what happened next is unknown.
As for why Mori Kusheng came to Kaohsiung, he had no idea. All I know is to follow Mori Hisakatsu's orders. He was very scared after Mori Jiuksheng was killed, but he could not leave Kaohsiung, so he had to wait for the port to open before slipping away.
"What? He didn't know about killing Zhang Qianniu?" Xu Xu asked.
However, he was not the one who killed Mori Hisakatsu. Li Shun didn't know who killed him - but he said that Sen Jiusheng should be familiar with him here, and he would often go out alone to meet with him.
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 him.
"Is this just a little minion, running errands?" Wei Bachi was very disappointed with his confession.
"At least we have
New clues. "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 and we must be honest." He dusted off the 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 Kyusheng was just a killer. The real person who was hiding behind the scenes and commanding and killing Mori Jiu Sheng and silencing him was the key player.
Once you catch him, the truth will come to light.
Wei Bachi regretted: "After all this 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 that in this time and space, the conspiracy will not be too complicated. And he will benefit from mobilizing the relationship between us and the Netherlands. maximum."
"Why did Zheng Yiguan send a Japanese to come 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 clan is the Japanese." Xu Xu said, "Japanese are everywhere along the coast of East Asia. They are all 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, and if we want them to fully believe it, we must provide strong evidence." Xu Xu said, "We must catch the third person!"
This third person is still in Kaohsiung, but there are currently no more clues - the only clue that Xuang has is that this person can shoot blowguns.
But a blowgun is an easy thing to conceal and easy to dispose of. No suspicious cylindrical object was found during the search, indicating that the person had probably disposed of the murder weapon.
Xu Xu thought to himself that this opponent was still capable. He decided to start by sorting out the suspects he had caught. In addition, Li Shun and the people on his fishing boat can also ask again, maybe they can get some new clues.
Allow the suspect to enter and continue interrogating him. Once again, the facts of the case were reviewed. Zhong Xiaoying was interviewed again and asked to recall all the details of her pursuit of Mori Jiu Sheng.
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."
He then took Zhong Xiaoying to the fishing boat dock where Mori Kusheng was killed. Although there is no monitoring equipment on the pier, and it is impossible to access the surveillance to find out the exact location when Mori Kusheng was killed, we know roughly how far away from the pier he was shot - according to Zhong Xiaoying's recollection, this time he was about 60 meters away. It's 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 where cables are tied. "I don't remember which one it is." She looked at the wooden pile carefully, as if trying to recall the details of that day.
"I'm sorry, I can't remember." She said with regret, and then looked around, "But it's between these three or four piles."
This distance is about ten meters. Permit roughly mapped out the terrain and directions on a pad. Then he marked the approximate location where Morihisa was hit.
Xu Xu knows that even the range of modern blowguns is very limited. The handmade blowguns in this time and space are roughly processed and cannot be made very long if they are only portable. Therefore, its 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 shot.
"Let's go to the port to have a look." Xu Xu took Zhong Xiaoying to the port of the fishing boat wharf.
Senbu, a naturalized citizen who served as port director, was a retired navy man. When he saw the navy captain coming, he quickly stood at attention and saluted.
"Take a break!" Xu Xu said, "I want to investigate the mooring location of the missing ship."
"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's basically clear at a glance. Xu Xu compared it with his sketch and quickly identified eight fishing boats capable of shooting blowguns.
