Chapter 62 Darkness is rolling
. "I trust you very much, but these evidences... let's call them 'evidence' for the time being. What can it mean?" Liu Junshi looked at Mo Huicong with a serious expression and said, "Song Yingjie is dead. Even if he was killed by an assassin sent by Cia, it cannot be proved."
Mo Huicong did not speak because the "president" was telling the truth.
"Do you have any other clues?"
"The only clue is Wei Tae-hyun, but he is dead."
"Obviously, this is a trick to kill people."
Mo Huicong sighed and said, "With the clues we have mastered now, even if we all know that they were done by Cia, we cannot prove anything."
“That’s the biggest problem.”
"But the 'Vice President' cannot die inexplicably, otherwise..."
"I understand what you mean." Liu Jun squatted his hand and said, "Song Yingjie was assassinated under your protection. The reputation of the Secret Service was seriously damaged. You must want to find out the truth and catch the murderer. I believe that if I stop you from investigating, you will continue in other ways."
Mo Huicong smiled and said nothing.
"I won't stop you because I want to find out the truth, too." Liu Junshi knocked on the table and said, "Before going to Hsinchu, Song Yingjie asked me to talk to you alone."
"What?" Mo Huicong's brow jumped a few times.
"I don't know either. We were about to set off at that time, and he was a little hesitant."
"Nothing said?"
"He just said that after the rally, I would go back in a car with me and tell me on the way."
“Is the ‘Vice President’ behavior abnormal at the time?”
"It's not unusual. You know, he is a cautious person and it's hard to make up his mind when things happen."
Does Song Yingjie know that Cia conspires to assassinate Liu Junshi? Mo Huicong made a big question mark in his heart. This possibility is not that it does not exist, but that it must exist. Because if Liu Junshi is assassinated, Song Yingjie will be the biggest beneficiary and the possibility of being involved in the conspiracy is very high.
"If we can't find evidence, we can only find ways to prove that Cia has a motive for assassination."
"motivation?"
Liu Junshi nodded and said, "If it was me who was shot, not Song Yingjie, and Cia could get benefits from it, then Cia would have the motivation to assassinate me."
"But, this doesn't make sense, because..."
"If you check Song Yingjie's itinerary in the past one or two years, you may have unexpected gains."
"This is simple, the Secret Service has relevant records."
"After finding it, be sure to tell me."
Mo Huicong nodded and said, "If our guess is not wrong and the 'Vice President' is suspected, then..."
"I believe that Song Yingjie will not do such stupid things that are sorry for the country and the nation, nor will he betray me. Even if he does something wrong, he is just confused for a moment." Liu Junshi paused for a moment and said, "The investigation against the 'Vice President' must be kept strictly confidential and cannot be let others know, including the agents of the Secret Service."
"I'll go to review the files myself."
"Very good, remember to tell me."
Mo Huicong nodded and agreed, then stood up and said goodbye.
Liu Junshi's words made him believe that the "president" was also suspicious of the "vice president". However, for some reason, the "president" did not want to make a big fuss. This is easy to understand. Song Yingjie was a partner selected by Liu Junshi himself and was opposed by many people at the beginning. If Song Yingjie had problems, Liu Junshi would also be implicated.
What Mo Huicong couldn't understand was that Liu Junshi avoided the most critical question: Why was Song Yingjie the one who was shot?
If Liu Junshi was shot, all the previous speculations make sense. Unless there is a reasonable explanation, the fact that Song Yingjie was shot and died can overturn all speculations.
What is a reasonable explanation?
Mo Huicong did not have random thoughts because Liu Junshi proposed the only feasible investigation method: to find out the relationship between Song Yingjie and Cia, and to prove that Cia has a motive for assassination.
The investigation is very difficult.
There must be no problem with the travel records stored in the Secret Service, otherwise they would have been discovered long ago. If you want to find out the truth, you must verify the itinerary of Song Yingjie after he was elected as the "Vice President", that is, whether he has traveled according to the registration, whether he has seen people he should not have met and done things he should not have done when he traveled.
Compared with the troubles that Cia encountered, this little thing Mo Huncong was nothing.
When he learned that Taiwan's "Vice President" was assassinated while attending a rally in Hsinchu County, Chandler immediately called Hunter over and asked for details.
Because Roy Lynch is missing, Hunter is not sure about the specific situation.
There is only one thing that can be confirmed. Lynch's assassination target was not Song Yingjie, but Liu Junshi.
With Taiwan police claiming that they killed two Belgians suspected of assassinating Song Yingjie at Shangri-La Hotel more than 1,800 meters away from the rally, Chandler asked Hunter for the second time to inquire about the situation.
This time Hunter gave a positive answer: the two special forces from the special aircrew brigade were the killers hired by Lynch.
As for what happened, Hunter still couldn't explain it clearly.
According to his speculation, before the Trident freighter was attacked and sunk, Lynch issued an order to the two killers, and the assassination was not affected. The person who was shot was Song Yingjie, not Liu Junshi, proving that Lynch had been captured by Chinese intelligence agencies and explained the details of the assassination.
What happened next, without Hunter's explanation, Chandler wanted to get it.
In order to prevent Cia from sending people to assassinate Liu Junshi again, the Chinese intelligence agency launched an operation, removed the two snipers from the special aircrew brigade, and then killed Song Yingjie with their weapons. Because there was no suitable spokesperson, Cia would not point the gun at Liu Junshi for the time being.
When things have developed to this point, the assassination of Liu Junshi has become a secondary issue. The key is to clear the relationship with this matter.
After obtaining the authorization of Chandler, Hunter launched the "weeding" plan and sent two Navy SEALs who worked specifically for CIA to Taiwan to kill Wei Taixian, who participated in the assassination operation.
He is the last person in the matter. As long as he is removed, the Taiwanese authorities will not be able to find out about Cia.
What Hunter did not expect was that after two commandos killed Wei Taixian, they exposed their whereabouts during the evacuation and were besieged by Taiwanese police and agents.
When he received the news, two commandos had been shot dead.
This time, it was not Chandler who came to Hunter, but he took the initiative to go to Chandler.
"Is that guy who knows about the assassination dead?"
Heng Tae nodded and said, "There is something unexpected now."
"Another accident?" Chandler was a little impatient. There were many accidents in this operation.
"The two men I sent were exposed, but they were all dead."
Chandler was stunned for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good to die, at least the agents of the Taiwan Secret Service cannot let the dead speak."
"But their identities are very special."
"What's the meaning?"
"They are Navy SEALs and have been working for us since they forged death certificates three years ago."
"What!?" Chandler was stunned and said with wide eyes. "Don't you know that such a major action should be used for people who have nothing to do with us?"
"The situation is very special, and I didn't expect this to happen." Hunter sighed and said, "When I received the news, the Taiwan Secret Service had found Wei Taixian's head and knew that he had participated in the assassination. Although he knew very little, if the Secret Service caught him, we would encounter greater trouble."
"This is not a reason, you should know..."
"There is no doubt that Taiwan's Secret Service already knew that we planned the assassination operation. Because the Secret Service was directly responsible to the 'President', Liu Junshi will soon know the whole story."
"Okay, you have to tell me how to solve this problem."
"It seems that we won't be in trouble for the moment."
"Yeah?"
"It was Song Yingjie who was shot, not Liu Junshi. Even if he knew it was us who did it, there was no evidence."
Chandler's brow jumped a few times and said, "What do you mean is that as long as we remain silent, Liu Junshi will let this matter pass?"
"Does he have any other choice?"
"Anyway, he is Taiwan's 'president'. If he wants to cause trouble for us, we will be in trouble."
"If he knew that it was not us who wanted to kill him, but Song Yingjie, he would not have pointed his finger at us."
"Even so, he will still regard us as accomplices."
"It is not us who made Song Yingjie the 'Vice President', but himself. So even if he knows that Song Yingjie conspires to get rid of him, he will not take the initiative to make things worse. Doing so will not do anything to him. Only by letting things go by, or even making Song Yingjie a hero who devotes himself to the country can he bring benefits."
Chandler nodded thoughtfully, as if he believed Hunter's judgment.
Hunter didn't say anything more because the director needed time to consider his suggestions.
"This can be arranged, but it must be done neatly and there must be no accidents." Chandler exclaimed, "Since Song Yingjie is dead, don't touch Liu Junshi before finding a new spokesperson."
“Cancel the action being deployed?”
Chandler nodded and said, "Liu Junshi will definitely be vigilant when Song Yingjie was assassinated. Besides, if he was assassinated in a month, it will be of no benefit to us."
"At least it will make the situation in Taiwan turmoil and create opportunities for our next move."
Chandler frowned and seemed a little hesitant.
"The mainland intelligence agencies take this opportunity to get rid of Song Yingjie, just to force us to give up the idea of assassinating Liu Junshi and stabilize the situation on the island. If we stop now, the mainland intelligence agencies have sufficient ability to deal with challenges in other strategic directions and have an impact on our next actions."
"No spokesperson..."
"Our purpose is not to support a pro-US government in Taiwan. No matter who is in power in Taiwan, we cannot do without our support and assistance in the short term. Even Liu Junshi is not completely out of touch with us. As long as Taiwan's leaders want to gain a say in cross-strait relations, they must cooperate with us."
Chandler nodded and said, "You are right, it doesn't matter who the next 'president' is."
Hunter smiled and waited for Chandler to make the decision.
After thinking for a while, Chandler said, "It's better to act according to the plan, but you have to seize the opportunity and not leave any opportunities for your opponent."
"I will redeploy, are there any other arrangements?"
"I hope the next time I'll send it is not bad news."
Heng Tae nodded and stood up to say goodbye.
