Chapter Forty-Eight: Nowhere to Start
Encountering such an opponent who makes people have nowhere to start, it is indeed a bit difficult for the investigation team of the Intelligence Division.
Yu Bule nodded slightly and asked, "So what is your group's current analysis and thinking, and the direction of the investigation?" ”
Sima Kong and several team members looked at each other for a moment and replied: "After discovering that Liu Guannan has nowhere to start, we are conducting a reverse investigation. First of all, it is confirmed that Zhou Wen is the killer, and we are stepping up the investigation of Zhou Wen's early life. The assassination organization has a clear killer cultivation system, basically every 5 to 8 years will train a new batch of killers, but their tissue culture is usually a group of orphans, or through the collective cultivation of children purchased and trafficked, eliminated by raising Gu. This clue is recorded in the information of the bureau.
More than 60 years ago, the Dark Thorn suddenly disappeared, and after nearly 20 years, several tissues born from the Dark Thorn appeared in the Federation, such as the Blood Blade, the Black Hand, and the Ink. It is judged that there has been a big change in the upper echelons, which has led to the collapse of the entire organizational system, and the killer groups at the prefecture and city level cannot contact the upper echelons, so they are forced to derive a new killer group out of desperation.
Especially in the early days of its establishment, these organizations implemented the old model of assassination, and only began to diverge into their own characteristics 20 years ago. The organization of the Blood Blade is one of the better developed, ranking relatively high, with a high success rate of assassination, and can complete some difficult tasks, but it has never made great progress. Therefore, we judge that in terms of killer training, they should not have inherited the system of assassination, and should belong to the model of teaching from master to apprentice, and teaching by word and deed.
So we hope to be able to trace Zhou Wen's mentorship. Judging from the intersection of several people, Liu Guannan is most likely Zhou Wen's master. So here's a clue.
Second, the killers of the assassination era almost won by pure force, and the blood stabbing began to gradually use poison to assist assassination in the past 15 years, and when Zhou Wen performed the task, a model of only using poison and not using force began to appear. Moreover, we compared the poisons of the tasks before and after the Blood Blade, the earliest was only to feed poison weapons and ordinary poisons, and it was only after 605 that the poisons began to upgrade significantly, so we suspect that Zhou Wen is the improver of the Blood Blade poison system.
So we are tracking down the clues of Zhou Wen's experiments and poisons in Wu City. Thanks to the poison weapons used in the Chencheng Blood Blade infighting, as well as Zhou Wen's self-made antidote drugs, and the records of purchasing medicinal materials at the Chencheng Pharmacy, we are currently stepping up our investigation and have made certain discoveries.
After all, the amount of drugs that Zhou Wen can get from the Southeast Military Academy and the state hospital is relatively small, and these drugs and chemical raw materials are relatively strictly controlled, so we can be sure that he has other ways to obtain drugs for testing. Although more than ten years have passed, there have been some discoveries now.
In addition to his own small-scale purchase in Wu City, his hometown in Jiujiang will regularly deliver a batch of daily necessities to him, and another pharmacy in Lujiang City will regularly deliver a batch of goods to him through channels. We have determined that this is the source of his medication and an investigation into the delivery person is currently underway. The suspect, who has been locked, should be able to determine the source of the goods within a few days. ”
Sima Kong paused, and then continued: "There is another problem that cannot be ignored, that is, Liu Guannan and Wang Tong were both born in Youzhou. If it is judged that the two of them are the killers of the blood blade, who connected the two who had no intersection before.
The origins and styles of the two are obviously different. We analyzed this. Liu Guannan is an orphan, and he has a bold and direct personality, much like a killer cultivated by orphans. But Wang Tong is biased towards planning and strategy, and we think that he should belong to the killer category of Shicheng.
When Liu Guannan was stationed in Youbeiping, Wang Tong was not in his hometown, so this tandem must know these two people at the same time, and be trusted by the two to introduce the two to each other. Although it is not possible to be suspicious now, the lowly officials believe that Sun ...... Lieutenant General Sun Zhengxiu's suspicion cannot be ruled out at least.
This person needs to meet several conditions, first, know Wang Dong's master, and have been in contact with Wang Dong and can gain his trust. Then he went to Wuji when Wang Dong was young, or went to Dai City when Wang Dong was studying. Inferences aside, the subordinate has applied to be sent to both places to investigate.
Second, this person knew Liu Guannan, so he had been to Xiangping before 575, or had contact with Liu Guannan after joining the army, or knew him when Liu Guannan was stationed in Youbeiping. We believe that it should not be any later, because at present, we cannot find anyone who is related to Liu Guannan after he was transferred to the Southeast Military Region. Of course, Liu Tingting and Zhou Wen, who were born later, do not count. ”
Yu Bule said: "This direction can be investigated, but it shouldn't involve too much energy, because even if we find a common relation, we don't have any evidence to approve the arrest and arraignment, do we still have to closely monitor Liu Guannan like we do now?" ”
Sima Kong opened his mouth in embarrassment, and finally nodded yes. He understood that Yu Bule was dissatisfied with the direction of their follow-up investigation.
After thinking about it for a while, he continued: "There is also the investigation of the relationship between Zhou Wen and Liu Tingting. We are currently interviewing friends from Zhou Wen's classmates to try to find out when and how they met. Zhou Wen is a gentle and humble person on the outside, and his interpersonal relationship is very good.
He got married just after graduation, and Shouchun can prove that he is Zhou Wen's propose. In other words, at least in terms of rhetoric, he needs to have a reasonable channel to understand Liu Tingting. And it should be revealed to his classmates in advance.
In addition, the bureau deliberately covered up the news of Zhou Wen's escape, and all the relevant reports only wrote about three felons, and only Liu Jun, who later uncovered the Nanyang fraud case, and the names of Zhou Wen and Chen Changsheng were deliberately concealed. Even many high-ranking government and military officials do not know the names of the two. The reported news is only that Liu Jun turned into a witness, and two felons, Zhou and Chen, died unexpectedly.
But Bloody Blade knew that Zhou Wen had escaped from prison. Before Zhou Wen escaped from prison, he passed on the news that he had broken down the door in Chencheng and accepted the assassination. And it was indeed hunted down by the Bloody Blade. It's only been less than a month, and with the cover of the bureau, we have inquired in Shouchun, but the news has not yet arrived.
Ordinary people don't know that Zhou Wen has escaped from prison and surrendered to the law. Bloody Blade only knew that the sniper plan had failed, and would have thought that Zhou Wen had escaped. Is it possible to make an article through this?
Moreover, there is another advantage that the people of the Blood Blade are not clear, we are already investigating them, and we don't know that Zhou Wen has exposed the identity of the killer. Their actions in Chencheng are very well concealed. This can also create a time difference. ”
Yu Bule thought for a moment, didn't answer, and continued to ask, "Is there any progress in the inspection of the Assassin Group?" ”
Sima Kong replied: "We compared the movements and vacation records of the four suspects, and three to be exact. Because Liu Tingting's life trajectory is too simple, except for a few times to Wu City, she has never left the 30-kilometer area around Shouchun, and the situation of leaving several times is also confirmed, and it is unlikely that she has engaged in assassination missions.
In addition to her, we compared the records of the three people who went on vacation for more than three days, and the assassination cases around the city were confirmed, in addition to confirming that there was an assassination of an officer in Changsha in 604 that may be related to Zhou Wen, and also found three assassination cases in Shouchun and around Hefei, but we could not tell whether it was Zhou Wen or Wang Dong.
Around 574, there were two assassination cases around Daidi, and Wang Dong had the time and conditions to commit the crimes; However, from the point of view of the assassination method, it is closer to the method of secret assassination, and Wang Dong at this time is not yet 20, and he cannot theoretically complete such a task alone.
In 579, there was a case of exterminating the door in Pinggu County, Yuyang, Youzhou, and in 580, there was a case of joint assassination of a garrison major in Feiruo, Liaoxi, both of which were dispatched by more than three killers, and Liu Guannan had the time to commit the crime, but the problem is that these two cases are not sure whether they were committed by a bloody blade, so they can only be doubtful.
Therefore, in fact, there is no evidence of Liu Guannan and Wang Tong's direct assassination.
As for the current investigation, our speculation is that Liu Guannan may have been an assassin cultivated by the remnants of the Assassination Era. Although we can't find any evidence of his assassination, judging from the way he fought, commanded the troops, and governed the government, they all conform to the methods of the assassin assassin.
Analyzing the characteristics of Wang Tong, he is delicate, low-key, and good at layout, and we have previously judged that he is a member of the Assassin organization of the master-apprentice type. Then it is reasonable to speculate that his master may not be a killer, but a stabbing person, or a manager such as a killer cultivator and action planner in the Bloody Blade Organization.
Such an inference can explain both why Wang Dong met Liu Guannan through an intermediary, and why no clear information could be found about Wang Tong's involvement in the assassination.
Then the next thing is the inference of Zhou Wen, first of all, my personal tendency is to be between 9 and 12 years old, in his hometown of Hefei City, he was taught assassination techniques by Liu Guannan and absorbed into the blood blade organization. Because from the cultivation of ordinary killers, 9 years old is already an older age.
After that, Liu Guannan trained Zhou Wen to the age of 11, was promoted to deputy head of the regiment and left Hefei, and in 591 Wang Tong served as the governor of Hefei City Defense and took over the training of the 13-year-old Zhou Wen until Zhou Wen was admitted to the military academy at the age of 18. After that, Zhou Wen began to carry out the assassination mission.
And Wang Tong returned to Shouchun in 598, and I don't know when he pulled Liu Tingting into the Blood Blade Organization again. In this way, there is a drama of a noble lady marrying a commoner genius later. There is reason to speculate that Zhou Wen's martial arts foundation was laid by Liu Guannan, and the subsequent improvement of poison should be Wang Dong's instruction. As for the layout and planning ability, Liu Wang has both of them, and it is not clear who has more influence on Zhou Wen, but from the perspective of ability, he should be out of the blue. ”
Yu Bule saw that Sima Kong wanted to speak and stopped, and said: "It's okay, it's an analysis and discussion now, and you can say any point of view." ”
Then Yu Bule turned his head to look at Tan Jiadao: "You have been in direct contact with Zhou Wen, and you have a more intuitive impression of him, after listening to Team Leader Sima's investigation and analysis, do you have any ideas?" ”
