Chapter 35: I See, Part 2

"Well, I won't ask, if you want to know anything, just ask me."

Yin Qunli also knew that he had violated discipline, so he had to stop asking.

In fact, from the question raised by Li Yixin, he guessed that the organization must be trying to find a way to transport the prohibited materials out of Stone Town, and he knows such channels very well, and once the organization needs it, he will report to the organization without reservation.

Of course, he didn't know that Li Yixin had now entered the anti-smuggling investigation department, and he didn't know that Li Yixin had other purposes for asking these questions at this time.

"Then tell me, generally speaking, how do merchants want to transport prohibited control materials out of the city? How did you bribe Dury? Detail the details. ”

"The method of transporting this kind of goods out of the city is very simple, the merchant needs to privately report the type and quantity of the materials to be delivered to Dorey in advance, and pay the bribes required for the various materials according to Dory's regulations. Then he got a manifest stamped by the Anti-Smuggling Investigation Department to allow transportation, and passed through the checkpoint of the Anti-Smuggling Investigation Department with this manifest, which had the official seal of the Anti-Smuggling Investigation Department and Dury's signature in addition to the official seal of the Anti-Smuggling Investigation Department. ”

"But as far as I know, the normal transportation of goods in this kind of manifest will also be issued by Dury, how can the checkpoint know that this is the goods that Dury has received money and must be released?" Li Yixin asked a little strangely.

"This is the key detail, if it is said that the normal uncontrolled transportation of materials, Du Rui will also collect a small amount of money and let it go, but the signature on this kind of manifest is written vertically, and those prohibited materials that Du Rui has received bribes to pass through the checkpoint without inspection, then the signature on the manifest is written horizontally. The people in the anti-smuggling investigation department at this checkpoint are very clear, and they can see it at a glance when they look at the manifest. However, Dury also made a rule, he was afraid that if this kind of thing was exposed to the Japanese, he stipulated that the amount of prohibited materials transported at one time should not be too large. Of course, this is also the method he came up with in order to receive bribes from merchants many times. ”

"So isn't it very expensive for a businessman who is not doing this kind of business? It's not going to be profitable, and those businessmen are willing? Li Yixin felt a little incredible.

"You don't know how high the market of this prohibited material is, taking cotton yarn as an example, the normal purchase price of a spindle of cotton yarn only needs 10 yuan or 4 oceans, but if you can transport it out of the city, the price is at least 40 yuan or 16 oceans. And the toll handed over to Du Rui is 25 yuan of legal currency and 10 oceans, so the profits of the cotton yarn business are still there. This is still an inconspicuous substance like cotton yarn, and if you talk about other prohibited materials, the price will rise even more. Yin Qunli felt that Li Yixin didn't understand the market at all, so he gave an example.

"Dury collects tolls and actually collects fiat currency and the ocean? These two currencies are now banned from circulation by Japanese order. Li Yixin did not expect this, because now in the occupied area, the Japanese army and the Wang puppet government ordered that only Japanese military tickets and central reserve coupons could be used.

"Hmph, the military bills issued by the Japanese and the central reserve coupons issued by the puppet government are not recognized by the people, and as long as the businessmen in the business field do not do business with the puppet government and the Japanese, they still only recognize fiat currency and the ocean. Du Rui is not stupid, he knows that only fiat currency and the ocean are preserved, so he does not accept Chinese storage coupons and Japanese military tickets. ”

"Du Rui is also a little too dark, if such materials are bought in the national control area, the price is not ridiculously high?"

"Yes, in fact, the merchants can't help it, although there is such a channel to transport goods out of the city, but in private they want to kill Durui." Yin Qunli also said hatefully.

"Then these merchants haven't thought of a way to kill Dory?" Li Yixin continued to ask.

"Some people do have this heart, and they have also found a way to contact our military commander to offer a bonus to kill Dury. However, Dury was very careful about his own safety, and the military commander failed to assassinate Dury twice. In addition, some other merchants were afraid that the transportation channel would be invalid after killing Dury, or they were afraid that the hearts of those who would succeed Dorui would be darker, so they did not approve of it. Eventually, the matter was over. ”

Yin Qunli's words made Li Yixin feel the same way, and he is now in a bit of a dilemma.

If the existence of Wei Jianping, Du Rui and others has a certain positive significance for the transportation of underground prohibited materials like Stone Town, then it seems that it is a little inappropriate to find a way to get rid of them.

But if he is not replaced, Li Yixin will not be able to gain a foothold in the material control investigation committee, and will continue to be suppressed and excluded, which is very unfavorable to Li Yixin's latent position.

Of course, there is another way for Li Yixin to gain the trust of Wei Jianping, Du Rui and others and participate in this kind of thing, but the reality makes Li Yixin think that this method is impossible to work.

Because of Wen Mian's relationship, Li Yixin now has Wen Mian's eyeliner on his head, and Wei Jianping and others will definitely not believe Li Yixin.

Even if he takes 10,000 steps back, Wei Jianping doesn't think that Li Yixin was sent by Wen Mian and has no motive to pull Li Yixin into the gang, after all, now that Wei Jianping and others have established a stable chain of interests, there is no need to pull Li Yixin in to dilute his interests.

Therefore, Li Yixin thought about it and decided to find a way to get Wei Jianping and Du Rui and others away, only in this way could he control the power of the Anti-Smuggling Investigation Department and pave the way for future work. The plan he had been thinking about last night was still going to work.

Thinking of this, Li Yixin asked again: "As far as you know, among the businessmen who quietly do this kind of forbidden material business in Stone Town, are there any people who sincerely serve the Japanese and commit heinous crimes?" ”

Meetings between Li Yixin and Yin Qunli will generally be carried out as little as possible, which is also a general principle of security considerations in a single-line intelligence relationship, unless it is really necessary to meet, generally speaking, the number of meetings between two people must be controlled to as little as possible, so as not to expose the relationship between the two people due to accidents.

So Li Yixin wanted to use this opportunity to learn more details.

Yin Qunli was a little surprised by the question that Li Yixin suddenly raised after thinking for a while, could it be that this Mr. Li has any other ideas that are different from his own conjecture?

Although he had some questions, Yin Qunli still replied: "There are many such people. For example, Boss Wang of Baochang Firm is such a person, Baochang Firm was just an inconspicuous small business in Stone Town before the Japanese came. After the Japanese came, this surnamed Wang was the first businessman to take the initiative to jump out as a traitor to welcome the Japanese, so the Japanese paid more attention to him, and also made him the vice president of the Stone Town Maintenance Association. ”
