Poirot was a little irritable.

He came to Ho Island with the purpose of bringing the "smile of the Mona Lisa" back to his home country.

He wasn't interested in any drugs, any fires.

But now he has to expend his energy on these things that are not of interest, because all of them seem to be inseparable from the mouse, the initiator of the theft of the famous painting.

A month ago, he had set himself in sight an art trading company called Goo Import & Export.

The general manager of this company is a man named Hugio.

Hugio, male, 38 years old, started the company when he was 29 years old. Since its inception, the company has been engaged in the import and export of art, and the amazing thing is that the company's performance has been growing steadily despite the changes in the general environment.

It's as if it's not on the same plane as other companies.

However, the past of this company is too clean, and at first glance it is completely an excellent company that abides by laws and regulations.

What kind of person will the boss of this company be?

Poirot couldn't help but take a keen interest in the man.

After learning more, his expectations were completely shattered.

First of all, visually speaking, he is a man with no temperament, and his weight of more than 100KG is matched with his raunchy and sloppy appearance, which is simply a typical greasy middle-aged.

He smokes 3 packs of cigarettes a day, which can be called walking second-hand smoke, and on top of that, he also has a problem with alcoholism, which is also the most annoying kind of person in Poirot's country.

is such a rude and vice-ridden man, but he still has a very strong sex addiction, and there are more than three stable girlfriends.

Compared to anything else, this alone made Poirot resolutely unable to accept.

In addition to Gio Import & Export, he has six other companies under his name, including the wine bar in Binx, which has just been burned down by fire.

If it weren't for God's blindness, it could only mean one thing, behind this man, there was a larger force, as a trader, quietly hiding behind the scenes.

So Poirot peeled back the cocoon and finally found a diversified group of companies called Red Star.

"That makes sense."

The reason why he targeted Hugio was because he discovered a money laundering network hidden underground.

A month ago, he suspected that the network was being tested for a small amount.

Slowly, the amount of money involved became larger and larger, but after following closely for a month, he could still only suspect and found no substantial evidence.

It's not that I look down on Hugio, but in order to run such a huge money laundering network, it is necessary to have the big tree of the Red Star as a backer.

And being able to make this network so hidden and clean is the ability of this lewd man to show.

"No one should be a disgrace." He remembered this proverb from the East.

The intense frustration only strengthened his conviction. The more evidence could not be found, the more certain Poirot became that there must be a connection between the rats and the Red Star Group.

Whether it's dealing in antiquities or drugs, a strong and safe channel for money laundering is the first thing to consider.

"If you want to find that damn painting, you have to find the mouse first, and if you want to find the mouse, you have to start with the drug case, and if you want to solve this case, you have to investigate the red star first, why is my life so tortuous."

So for the first time, Poirot proposed to Ravenson to participate in the on-site investigation.

Ravenson agreed without thinking about it, and even smiled at him, as if he had been waiting for this moment.

It's a weird feeling.

He had already learned most of the information from Shi Luo and Lin Tianxiong's mouths, and in his opinion, the most fundamental mistake made by these two people was that they did not see through the essence of the incident.

In his opinion, no matter what the rat has done, or is about to do, it will never escape a core purpose, which is money.

Many people may think that money is not attractive to him in terms of the abilities of a mouse, but Poirot does not think so.

If a person claims that money is not attractive to him, it only means that there is not enough money.

He believed without doubt that what the rat wanted was money, and a lot of money, a lot of money.

It's not unfounded to think so, the ability to take things from the air can indeed easily obtain wealth, but how much can a mouse move at a time? 100 million? 200 million? Not to mention how dangerous it is to put so much cash at home, there are still many inconveniences in using it.

Stealing the Mona Lisa's smile can bring the rat a huge fortune that he can't imagine when it changes hands, and the drug brings a steady stream of wealth.

In his cognition, no matter how you think about it, this is the only explanation, otherwise why would it be necessary to take such a huge risk to do such unreasonable things?

Having said that, although Poirot did not approve of Shi Luo and Lin Tianxiong's ideas, their findings did help him a lot.

Based on the information available, his speculation is as follows:

A month ago, the rat was looking around for a way to get the Mona Lisa's smile, and by chance found the red star, and the two sides hit it off with a similar smell.

As a result, Red Star began to look for buyers of the national treasure, and at the same time used its own network to test the way to launder money.

However, due to the huge value of the national treasure, a suitable buyer was not found for a long time, so the rats began to think about drugs.

He established the MC and gathered a large following under the guise of positive energy, and then they used Red Star's storefront in Bar Street as a stronghold to start selling drugs to the MC.

After seeing the attractive benefits, a large number of practitioners in the bar street participated in this matter, including Wu Luqi.

This disrupted the original order of Bar Street, so the man in black pretended to cooperate with the rats, and secretly united with the local snake Qingyu Group in Bar Street, ready to teach the rats some lessons.

Unexpectedly, Qingyu's ambush was inadvertently killed by Lin Tianxiong, and the man in black clashed with the mouse, and was finally defeated and knocked to the ground.

After the rat was defeated by Lin Tianxiong, after escaping, he was afraid of leaving evidence in the fight, so he simply didn't do anything and burned down the bar.

After listening to his thoughts, Lei Wensheng once again showed that weird smile and left a sentence: "No problem, since you think so, then prove it to everyone." ”

Poirot's first target was to be a bartender at Binx's Fine Wines.

The bartender's real name is Wu Kun, who is the same villager as Wu Luqi, who was burned in the fire, and according to the people at the restaurant next door, Wu Kun goes to the bar at 4 o'clock every day to start preparing for business.

On the day of the incident, Wu Kun and Hu Geo were seen leaving the bar early, and more than half an hour later, the bar caught fire.

"Judging from the timing, the reason why Wu Kun and Hu Geo left the bar must be because the rat asked someone to meet at the bar." Poirot was even more convinced.

Wu Kun lives in a resettlement community not far from Bar Street, and the biggest feature of that community is that all the houses are in a three-family layout, and Wu Kun lives in the middle.

"Mr. Wu, please open the door."

……

"Mr. Wu, are you at home?"

……

"Aren't you home?" Poirot muttered to himself.

Just as he was about to leave, he noticed that the window curtains in the hallway of the apartment were not tightened, revealing a small slit.

Poirot pressed his eyes to the glass and looked into the room.

As a result, when I saw a pair of human legs hanging in mid-air.
