Chapter 960 Looking for traces

In fact, there is nothing wrong with Huang Tongyang's handling method. In a place with such a large flow of people as Shengli Port, there are countless things that need to be managed by the police station every day. Even if there is a homicide case, as long as it is confirmed that the cause of death is not homicide, what happens next

Even if he left according to the procedure, at most he just needed to say hello to the foreign affairs department because of the deceased's foreign status.

Fu Li also had experience working at the grassroots level, so he did not express doubts or dissatisfaction with Huang Tongyang's statement. He nodded and returned the topic to the case: "I think that if it is an emergency, the murderer is using some kind of

After suffocating Hassan to death, he might have pushed him into the sea in a panic. But he was obviously calm enough to search Hassan's body and did not touch his money.

, just taking away the train tickets to pretend to be an accidental death and making it more difficult to verify the identity of the deceased afterwards, this is not something ordinary people can do."

Fu Li has been working in the Police Department for several years and has been exposed to many cases. Naturally, his ability to figure out the psychology of criminals is not comparable to that of the police officers who maintain law and order at the police station. Although the clues he has so far are relatively limited, Fu Li has

It is believed that the emergence of this case is not accidental, and there may be some unknown secrets hidden behind it.

Huang Tongyang frowned and said: "The most suspected person now is the person who had dinner with him in Zuixian Tower, but this person's face is unclear. How can we find him?"

Lin Nan answered: "We have not found any more information about that mysterious figure so far. We still have to find clues from Hassan."

Huang Tongyang cupped his fists and said, "Please give me some advice, Mr. Lin!"

"I don't want to take advice seriously, but I have some ideas. Let's talk about it and ask everyone to refer to it for details." Lin Nan muttered: "We now know that Hassan came to Victory Port three times in four days. In fact, the supporting facilities at Sanya Port are also very complete.

Yes, there is no need for him to come here specifically to have a meal. So what was the purpose of Hassan's first two trips to Victory Port? Apart from Zuixian Tower, where else have he been? Was it to discuss business or visit friends?

"

Fu Li continued: "As for Hassan's purpose of traveling alone, we have carefully questioned his subordinates before, and we can basically confirm that it was not to discuss business, because on the day he arrived in Hong Kong, he had already negotiated a freight forwarding agreement with the Ministry of Commerce.

Ship goods to Annan Thanh Hoa. And even if you need to purchase bulk goods, you can actually just say hello to the people from the Ministry of Commerce. After all, they just shipped a batch of copper ingots. The Ministry of Commerce is eager to stabilize this channel. He has

He will try his best to meet any request. As for whether he is visiting friends, he is not sure, but according to his subordinates, Hassan will definitely take a few people with him when he goes out on weekdays. "

"Is it understandable that Hassan's intention is not to let his men know where he has been, who he has seen and what he has done?" Huang Tongyang added.

Fu Li nodded and said: "I think so too, so what Mr. Lin just said is very important. Where has he been besides Zuixian Tower and who he has met. These are the clues we need to verify next."

Lin Nan sighed: "Just like this, the number of objects we need to investigate will increase several times. This matter is not easy to handle."

The current Port of Victory port area plus the commercial area between Fort Victory and the port area cover an area of ​​at least three to four square kilometers. If we add in the various surrounding official institutions, service facilities, and naturalized residential areas,

Then the area will be increased by half on this basis. To investigate the whereabouts of a person in such a large area, the investment of manpower and material resources is not a small amount, and the social impact will be relatively large, and with Victory Port

The district police station definitely does not have the authority to handle this matter.

Fu Li had been in the system for several years, so he naturally understood what Lin Nan meant. He nodded and said, "It's no longer enough for just a few of us to do this. We have to report it to the higher ups."

To conduct a large-scale investigation and visit in the Victory Port area, the matter must be reported to the leaders of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Security. If necessary, it even needs to be discussed at the Executive Committee. Fu Li and Lin Nan

Although they have some authority, they also know that every inch of land in Victory Port has more or less interests entangled with the leaders. If there is not enough reason to investigate the shops and staff here, it is really easy.

If you have offended the big shot above. If you want to continue to pursue this case, it is best to say hello to the boss first and get permission before taking further action.

This matter can only be handled by Fu Li and Lin Nan separately. Huang Tongyang is not good enough at this level, so after the three people agreed, they immediately split up. Fu Li went to Ren Liang, Lin Nan went to Hao Wanqing, and they went separately.

Request permission to expand the investigation.

The office building of the Haihan Ministry of Justice is a three-story gray brick building on the west side of Victory Fort. It is square and square like a matchbox. If it were not for the height of about ten meters, the appearance of this office building could be said to be...

Quite inconspicuous.

At present, the Ministry of Justice is headed by Gu Kai and Ren Liang, who serve as chief and deputy officers respectively. This is also one of the few departments with two executive committee members serving as full-time leaders. However, due to the limited number of professionals, the public prosecutors and legal agencies are all under the Ministry of Justice.

Under the jurisdiction, Ren Liang is responsible for public security affairs and related agencies.

Ren Liang not only managed the hard labor camp before, but also served as the director of the Port Management Committee of Shengli Port for a period of time. It can be said that he is still very familiar with the grassroots affairs of port operations, so after reading the report submitted by Fu Li

, and have a more thorough understanding of this incident.

"Do you think there is another hidden story in this case besides murder?" Ren Liang asked Fu Li with great interest.

"I have carefully checked the background of Hassan. In the past few years, he has come to Sanya once or twice a year, but he has never heard of any local relatives, friends or personal grudges. He leaves every time after completing a purchase and sale transaction.

, the longest time he stayed here was only a week. The murderer had already thought about the way and place of the attack before he took action. He led him to the sparsely populated dock area and then arranged the scene to pretend that he was drunk and had fallen and drowned. He was so thoughtful.

, and using such a complicated method, I think the possibility of him dying due to personal grudges is very small." Fu Li paused and expressed his conclusion: "I think he was killed because he knew some kind of secret.

Silenced."

Ren Liang took another look at the report and said slowly: "You mentioned that Hassan's main trading partners in the past few years are us and the Spanish in Manila?"

"Yes, but there is currently no evidence to prove that this matter is related to the Spaniards." Fu Li responded cautiously. So far, this case is still a murder case, but if the Spaniards are involved, it may

The nature is not simple. Fu Li also knows that the Haihan Militia only took action against the Spaniards last year. It can be said that the two sides are still in a state of war, so he does not dare to casually connect this case with the Spaniards.

Ren Liang smiled and said, "Don't think I'm being alarmist. Someone from the Ministry of Security has asked for instructions on this case, right? Based on their work habits, I guess Hao Wanqing's conspiracy theory will definitely come out again."

Since the Danzhou assassination in 1631 and the Shilu riot of the same year, the Ministry of Security has stepped up its efforts to arrest intelligence agents from outside forces who have infiltrated Hainan Island.

There has also been more involvement in the case-handling process. Even the monthly inspection teams organized by the Ministry of Justice include representatives from the Ministry of Security like Lin Nan, whose purpose is to pay attention to cases that have been missed by the security agencies.

Although this approach is a bit over-the-top, it has indeed solved several espionage cases. Ren Liang has no objection to this, but Gu Kai has always been critical of the excessive authority of the Ministry of Security. After all, the Ministry of Security has arrested

Except for rare occasions when police assistance is needed, people generally solve cases on their own, often without even notifying the Ministry of Justice, and they call it "confidentiality needs."

Once it encounters a case that the Ministry of Security believes has intelligence suspicion, it will take corresponding actions, summon or arrest relevant personnel for interrogation, and even use some extra-legal means to solve the problem if necessary. In this case, even Fu Li

They were all aware of the strangeness of the case. Ren Liang believed that an old fox like Hao Wanqing would definitely not ignore such details, and would classify the case as requiring direct intervention from the Security Department. Of course, even if the Security Department does not

Despite this, the police will still investigate and handle this case step by step, but their intensity may be more limited.

Ren Liang asked some more detailed questions about the case, and asked Fu Li to go out and wait while he dialed Hao Wanqing's phone number. After some communication on the phone, the two bosses made a decision to establish a joint venture.

The task force is jointly headed by Fu Li and Lin Nan. At the same time, the two departments each mobilized several backbones who are skilled in criminal detective cases to join in to conduct further investigations into the accidental death of Persian businessman Hassan, in an effort to find out the truth behind the death.

However, this in-depth investigation was not carried out in the form of large-scale visits and inspections. On the day after the two departments made the decision, newly posted rewards could be seen everywhere on the streets of the Victory Port area and adjacent commercial districts.

Missing Person Notice.

The content of this notice is to find the whereabouts of Hassan, a Persian businessman who has recently disappeared in the local area. It details his appearance, grooming, etc. Anyone who can provide clues will receive a reward ranging from 50 to 500 yuan depending on the importance of the clue.

If the clues provided can directly lead to the person involved, you can get a reward of two thousand yuan. Of course, no one can take away these two thousand yuan, after all, Hassan’s body has been cremated after a comprehensive autopsy.

, and all Hassan’s men were temporarily placed under house arrest. All personnel involved in handling the case, including the Inspection Department, and even the people from the Ministry of Commerce and Zuixianlou who Fuli and Lin Nan visited a few days ago

All staff members were also given a gag order.

As for the people who reported the crime that day and the people who were watching at the pier, because they did not know the inside story of the investigation, they did not connect the body with the reward notice, because the unit stated under the notice to co-organize the matter was the Haihan Police

Secretary, the police will never be so idle as to put a reward on a corpse that has already been recovered by the police.

The task force believes that a foreigner like Hassan has been strutting around in the Victory Port area for several days. It is impossible that no one noticed his existence. If a reward is offered in the name of finding missing persons, it will not only save the time required to launch a large-scale investigation.

A lot of manpower and time might work wonders.

Sure enough that afternoon, several people reported various clues about Hassan to the police. Of course, some of them were true and some were false, but for the police who had mastered Hassan's general itinerary, it was not difficult to distinguish the true from the false. The task force was very

Quickly filter out a few pieces of information that match the time and place, and then start an in-depth investigation.

One piece of information attracted the attention of Fu Li and Lin Nan, because after comparing the reported information, more than one person testified about this piece of information, and the time and place were relatively consistent, and it was consistent with Hassan's itinerary.

"Shopkeeper Wang of the Piaoxiang Youjiang Shop on the Second Branch of Landscape Avenue saw a man with a similar appearance to Hassan entering the street on January 23, the afternoon of the day Hassan arrived at Sanya Port.

Nanyang Pavilion opposite. He remembered this incident because after that, a customer couldn't get change when paying, so he went to Nanyang Pavilion opposite for help and saw the man talking to Shopkeeper Su of Nanyang Pavilion."

"Another clue came from the servant of the Persian envoy who lived in the guest house. He met Hassan on the Landscape Avenue that day. Because he saw that he looked like a compatriot, he went up to say hello, and the two even talked.

A few words. According to what he said, Hassan was preparing to go to a store to consign the gems he purchased from Java, and the only store selling luxury goods nearby happened to be Nanyang Pavilion."

After Fu Li finished reading, he put down the information and said to Lin Nan: "If Shopkeeper Wang sees that the person entering Nanyang Pavilion is Hassan, then the time is basically consistent with another clue. According to the clues we have previously grasped, Hassan should

He didn't stay long before taking the train back to Sanya Port. He had dinner with his men that day. It's possible that Nanyang Pavilion was his destination in Victory Port that day."

"It's Nanyang Pavilion..." Lin Nan responded, but did not continue.

"What's wrong with this store?" Fu Li noticed Lin Nan's strange behavior and asked.

"This store... is a property under the name of Qiong Lianfa, and part of the shares are in the hands of some big leaders." Lin Nan said in a deep voice: "It doesn't matter if we investigate the murder case, I'm just afraid that we will find something that shouldn't be investigated.
