"What about the captured prisoners?"

"There are two main criminals, one escapes and one kills, and the accomplice is only a temporarily hired laborer, without knowing it. ”

Of course not, or you wouldn't have asked me, Phil patted his head, realizing that he had asked a stupid question.

The kid seemed to have an idea, and Brad's interest returned, and his body straightened up.

"There may be several, but more information is needed. ”

How many more? Brad's curiosity was even heavier, and this was a surprising little guy.

"Just ask, there are only you and my grandfather and grandson in this room today, and you are just doing my grandfather and me a small favor. ”

Busy, maybe.

Phil was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that he has been impregnated in the army's big dye vat for a lifetime, Brad should be well-informed and experienced, maybe there is something hidden in it?

"The simplest, but probably the biggest problem, is to overstate losses. "Phil wisely avoided more sensitive matters.

For example, it is obviously a matter that the gendarmerie should be in charge of, why did the Mad Lion Division lead the investigation by itself, and this matter is very clear.

"It's not for this reason, it's just been replenished this year, and the exercises haven't started yet. ”

"That's fine, it's not a big deal. ”

"Why do you say that?" said Bradkor.

"Because once the loss is reported too much, it means that the middle and high levels of the military will inevitably be involved. "Phil didn't say much, it was obvious, and it was impossible for Brad not to understand.

"You go on, what else could be?" Brad encouraged.

"It could just be a simple little scam. Oil is lighter than water, and military oil should be sealed in a heavy, dark-colored jar, and the ingredients inside cannot be distinguished from the appearance.

As long as a small part of the oil in some of these jars is extracted, some water is poured into the bottom, and the reseal is completely fake, and it is impossible to detect even when using it.

But the number can't be too much, otherwise the weight will be wrong. "As a soldier's son, Phil still knows some common sense.

Brad's eyes lit up, this method was simple, he also thought of it, but in the spot check, no problems were found.

And if a full inspection is carried out, the action will be too big, and it is likely to stir up the army and make a lot of noise all over the city, and it may also cause considerable damage and loss, making him in a dilemma.

This year's budget had already been approved by Parliament, and he didn't have time to fight with those bug-like councillors.

It's all these damn thieves, if you find out who it is, you must make an example of it, Brad said secretly.

"Is there any? It is easy to say that the oil is not suitable for such a method. ”

"Yes, yes, but I need to look at the map. ”

Brad looked at Phil's confident look, this kid really doesn't look like a Snape child, could it be that the old ghost of Byrne taught him?

He was clearly misunderstood.

Thinking of this, Brad was even a little jealous, this was his own grandson, and as for the snub in the past few years, he ignored it.

He patted a military map hanging on the wall and showed Phil the area where the Lion Division was responsible.

Phil went from map to map and took notes, and after a few minutes, he could understand what the hell these people were up to.

"A little trick. ”

As he talked more and more, Phil became more and more confident, and his azure eyes looked at Brad and said, "The location where the theft transaction was intercepted is here." Phil pointed to one of the triangle icons on the map.

"It's only two blocks from the train station, which means it's likely that the supplies were transported by train. Then the military transport officer must be involved, if not the mastermind. ”

"Go on. Brad encouraged.

"The largest warehouse, which is responsible for storing oil and ingots, is located in these three locations, and it is also the main object of your investigation.

In fact, this group of thieves has played a trick right under your nose, taking advantage of the inertia of our conventional thinking. ”

Phil pointed to a dotted line on the map: "You see, these three warehouses are all on the same transportation route.

I saw that the report showed that your investigators first set out from the division headquarters, but did not investigate at the same time, but looked at these three places in turn along the railway line, which gave these thieves an opportunity.

So the question is, how did they fool our eyes, and that is to take advantage of the time difference. ”

Phil used his thick fingers to draw a circle on the dot in the middle.

"First of all, the first is the closest and largest warehouse to the military headquarters, and the number of stocks should not be passive, or the difference should have been made up long ago.

Then, when your investigator arrives at the second location by train, a portion of the supplies will be secretly loaded onto the same train and transported to the second warehouse. ”

"It's impossible, so they don't have time to operate at all. Everywhere my investigator went, he immediately sealed the warehouse and controlled the warehouse management. ”

"Yes, that's where they take advantage of our blind spots. It may seem impossible, but it's actually possible. I don't know if that's what they did, but if I did, I would. ”

Phil pointed to a smaller spot not far from the second stockpile and said, "Here's the secret."

The station is located at the intersection of the area, where every train that arrives makes a short stop, including loading and unloading goods, picking up and dropping passengers, moving the railway, and so on.

Although it was not long, as long as the quantity was small, it was enough for them to move the supplies off the train. ”

Brad's face became solemn, and he leaned over to the map and looked at it himself.

"That's right, the munitions are not placed on the ground, but in pallets to facilitate quick transfer.

And the cargo boxes of the munitions train are also specially made and can be loaded and unloaded as a whole.

After being unloaded from the train, the container can be loaded directly onto other means of transport.

In short, they are fully equipped to commit crimes. ”

"Yes, then this other means of transport is probably a cargo ship. Phil pulled his finger back and forth on a diagonal line outside the train station.

It was a river that connected the train station to the storage point.

Coincidentally, this station was set up for transit because it is a place where several mountains meet.

But in reality, between the barracks from here to the storage point, the railway line needs to make a big bend and go out from the foot of the mountain. This river, on the other hand, is very short and is a natural shortcut.

Brad had fully understood how the other party had become so blind.

It is indeed no wonder that his investigators, the personnel who took the train, could not have thought of deliberately getting off the train halfway and switching to the boat.

It seems simple, but it takes advantage of the blind spot of people's thinking, knowing is knowing, and not knowing no matter how obvious it is, it doesn't know.

There is no special passenger terminal for passengers on that river, only a small cargo terminal, which is more than enough to load and unload at least one container or a few pallets.

The speed of the descent and the short distance in a straight line were indeed small enough to be smuggled before the investigators arrived.

In fact, it was his mistake that gave the thieves a chance.

If he can arrange for three waves of investigators to be stationed in the blockade at the same time, then this trick will not work.

But that's also very difficult to do, because the train is considered the fastest mode of transportation, and it is difficult to synchronize in three different places under the conditions of blocked news and poor communication.

Whether it was true or not, it didn't matter anymore, at least he knew it was a big hidden danger.

As Phil said, the stolen and sold materials were very small, and if the amount was too large, it would have to be approved by high-ranking officers, and the deficit could only be filled by falsely reporting losses, otherwise the loopholes would be difficult to cover.

From this point of view, this time it was only a few middle- and lower-level quartermasters colluding together, and the problem was not too big.

Brad didn't know if he should breathe a sigh of relief from this.

In his position, if he is determined to investigate, he can cut through the mess quickly, and he can just ask all the officers involved in one piece.

But before he could determine the size of the matter, pressure from the gendarmerie and the parliament made him a little jealous and tied his hands and feet.

After all, it was the actual ruler of Gaokan City, the Marquis of No, who privately delegated this matter to him to investigate on his own.

If it makes too much trouble, the face of the Marquis will probably be ugly.

The tone has been set, and the case can be investigated internally according to this line of thought, even if it is not, it doesn't matter, it is good to kill chickens and monkeys, and you can take the opportunity to rectify the military style.

There have been no major battles for two consecutive years, which has made these monkey cubs relax a lot.
