In fact, there is nothing wrong with Huang Tongyang's handling method, in a place with such a large flow of people as Shengli Port, there are countless things that need to be managed by the police station every day. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info even if there is a homicide, as long as it is confirmed that the cause of death is not homicide, then the next thing is to go according to the procedure, at most, because of the deceased's foreigner status, you need to say hello to the foreign affairs department.

Fu Li himself also has experience working at the grassroots level, so he did not question or be dissatisfied with Huang Tongyang's statement, nodded and returned the topic to this case: "I think that if it was an emergency, the murderer might have pushed him into the sea in a panic after suffocating Hassan to death by some means." But he apparently had enough calm mind to search Hassan's body after the move, and he didn't use his money, but just took the train ticket away, so as to disguise the accidental death and make it more difficult to verify the identity of the deceased afterwards, which is not something that ordinary people can do. ”

Fu Li has been serving in the police department for several years, and he has been exposed to more cases, so his ability to figure out the psychology of criminals is naturally not comparable to that of the police officers who maintain law and order in the police station. Although the clues currently available are still relatively limited, Fu Li believes that the appearance of this case is not accidental, and there may be some unknown secrets hidden behind it.

Huang Tongyang frowned and said: "Now the most suspicious thing is the person who eats with him in the Drunken Immortal Building, but this person's face is not clear, how can we find him?"

Lin Nan continued: "For that mysterious person, we haven't found more information yet, and the clues still have to be found from Hassan's side." ”

Huang Tongyang hugged his fists and said, "Please ask Lord Lin for advice!"

"I don't dare to give advice, I have some ideas, please refer to it together. Lin Nan groaned: "We now know that Hassan has come to Shengli Port three times in four days, in fact, the supporting facilities at Sanya Port are also very complete, and there is no need for him to come here to take a turn and have a meal." So what was the purpose of Hassan's first two trips to Victory Port? What other places did he go to besides the Drunken Immortal Tower? Was it to discuss business or to visit friends?"

Fu Li continued: "Regarding the purpose of Hassan's solo trip, we have carefully interrogated his subordinates before, and it is basically certain that it is not a business negotiation, because on the day he arrived in Hong Kong, he had already negotiated with the Ministry of Commerce to transport a shipload of goods to Thanh Hoa in Annam. And even if you need to purchase any bulk goods, in fact, just say hello directly to the people of the Ministry of Commerce, after all, he has only shipped a batch of copper ingots, and the Ministry of Commerce is eager to stabilize this channel, and he will try his best to meet any requirements. As for whether he was visiting a friend, it is uncertain, but according to his subordinates, Hassan would definitely take a few people with him when he went out on weekdays. ”

"Is it understandable that Hassan's intention was not to let his men know where he had been, who had seen what he had done. Huang Tongyang added.

Fu Li nodded and said: "I think so too, so what Lord Lin just said is very important, where has he been in addition to the Drunken Immortal Tower, who has he seen, this is the clue we will verify next." ”

Lin Nan sighed: "It's just that in this way, the objects we need to investigate will be multiplied several times, which is not easy to do." ”

At present, the area of the Shengli Port Port Area plus the commercial area between Shengli Fort and the Port Area is at least three or four square kilometers, and if we add the surrounding official institutions, service facilities, and naturalized residential areas, then the area will be increased by half on this basis. To investigate a person's whereabouts in such a large area, the manpower and material resources required are not small, and the social impact will be relatively large, and with the authority of the Shengli Port Police Station, it will definitely not be able to operate this matter.

Fu Li has been in the system for several years, so he naturally understands the meaning of Lin Nan's words, and nods in response: "It's no longer enough to rely on a few of us in this matter, we have to report it to the top." ”

In order to carry out a large-scale investigative visit in the Port Victory area, the matter must be reported to the leadership of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Security. If necessary, it even needs to be brought to the Executive Committee for discussion. Although Fu Li and Lin Nan have some authority in their hands, they also know that every inch of this Victory Harbor has more or less entangled interests with the chiefs, and if there is no enough reason to investigate the shops and staff here, it is really easy to offend the big people above. If this case is to be pursued further, it is better to say hello to the higher authorities first, and then take further action after obtaining permission.

This matter can only be handled by Fu Li and Lin Nan separately, and Huang Tongyang's level is not enough, so after the three of them agreed, they immediately acted separately. Fu Li went to Ren Liang, and Lin Nan went to Hao Wanqing, and each went to apply for expanding the authority of the investigation.

The office building of the Haihan Ministry of Justice is a three-story gray brick building on the west side of Fort Victory, which is square like a matchbox. If it weren't for the height of about ten meters, the appearance of this office building could really be said to be quite inconspicuous.

At present, the Ministry of Justice is headed by Gu Kai and Ren Liang respectively, which is one of the few departments with two executive committee members serving as full-time leaders. However, due to the relatively limited number of professionals, the public security and judicial agencies are all under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice, and Ren Liang is responsible for public security affairs and related agencies.

Ren Liang not only managed the hard labor camp before this, but also served as the director of the port management committee of Shengli Port for a period of time, so it can be said that he is still very familiar with the grassroots affairs of port operation, so after reading the report submitted by Fu Li, he has a more thorough understanding of this incident.

"Do you think there is anything else hidden in this case besides murder?" Ren Liang asked Fu Li with interest.

"I've looked carefully into Hassan's background, and in the past few years, he has been to Sanya once or twice a year, but he has never heard of any local friends or personal grudges, and he leaves every time he completes a sale, and he only stays here for a week at most. The murderer had already thought about the way and place of the attack before he did it, led him to the sparsely populated dock area to do it, and then arranged the scene to disguise himself as drunk and drowned, so thoughtful and with such a complex method, I think it is very unlikely that he died of a personal vendetta. Fu Li paused and said his conclusion: "I think he was killed because he knew some kind of secret." ”

Ren Liang glanced at the report again and said slowly: "You mentioned that this Hassan's main trade partner in the past few years is us and the Spaniards in Manila?"

"Yes, but there is no evidence that it has anything to do with the Spaniards. Fu Li replied cautiously. So far, this case is still a homicide, but if it involves the Spaniards, it may not be simple in nature. Fu Li also knew that the Haihan militia had only fought with the Spaniards last year, and the two sides could say that they were still in a state of war, so he didn't dare to arbitrarily involve this case with the Spaniards.

Ren Liang smiled and said: "Don't think I'm alarmist, there are also people from the Ministry of Security who have asked for instructions on this case, right? With their habits of doing things, I estimate that Hao Wanqing's conspiracy theory will definitely be introduced again." ”

Since the Danzhou assassination in 1631 and the Shilu Rebellion in the same year, the Ministry of Security has intensified its efforts to arrest intelligence agents who infiltrated Hainan Island. Even the Ministry of Justice's monthly patrol team includes representatives of the Ministry of Security, like Linnan, to focus on cases that have been missed by the security agencies.

Although this practice is a bit suspicious of dominance, it does solve several espionage cases. Ren Liang has no objection to this, but Gu Kai has always been quite complaining about the excessive authority of the Ministry of Security, after all, the Ministry of Security arrests and handles cases except for a rare time when the police need assistance, and basically solves it by itself, and often does not even notify the Ministry of Justice, and it is called "the need for confidentiality".

Once the Ministry of Security considers a case to be suspicious of intelligence, it will take corresponding action, summon or arrest the relevant personnel back for interrogation, and if necessary, even take some extrajudicial means to solve the problem. In this case, even Fu Li sensed the strangeness of the case, and Ren Liang thought that an old fox like Hao Wanqing would definitely not ignore this kind of detail, and he would classify this case to the extent that it required the direct intervention of the Ministry of Security. Of course, even if the Ministry of Security does not come up with this, the police will still investigate this case step by step, but it may be more limited.

Ren Liang asked some more detailed questions about the case, so he asked Fu Li to go out and wait first, and he himself dialed Hao Wanqing's phone. After some communication between the two bigwigs on the phone, they made a decision to set up a joint task force, which was jointly responsible for Fu Li and Lin Nan, and at the same time, the two departments each transferred several backbones who were skilled in criminal detectives to join in to further investigate the accidental death of Persian businessman Hassan, in order to find out the truth behind the cause of death.

However, this in-depth investigation was not carried out in the form of a large-scale investigation, and the day after the two departments made their decision, a new reward notice could be seen everywhere on the streets of the Shengli Port port area and the adjacent business district.

The content of this notice is to find the whereabouts of Hassan, a Persian merchant who has recently disappeared in the local area, and details the appearance and dress, etc., and those who can provide clues will be rewarded with a reward ranging from 50 to 500 yuan, depending on the importance of the clues, and if the clues provided can be found directly, they can receive 2,000 yuan in thanks. Of course, no one will be able to take the 2,000 yuan, after all, Hassan's body has been cremated after a full autopsy has been completed, and all of Hassan's men have been temporarily isolated and placed under house arrest. All the personnel involved in the case, including the Inspection Department, and even the staff of the Ministry of Commerce and Zuixianlou, who Fu Li and Lin Nan visited and inquired about a few days ago, were all given gag orders.

As for the people who reported the case that day and the crowd of onlookers at the pier, because they did not know the inside story of the investigation, they would not associate the corpse with this reward notice, because the unit indicated below the notice to assist in this matter was the Haihan Police Division, and the police would never be idle enough to reward a corpse that had been collected by the police.

The task force believes that a foreigner like Hassan has been swaggering around the Port Victory area for several days, and it is impossible for no one to notice the existence of this guy, and if a reward is offered in the name of finding the missing person, it will not only save a lot of manpower and time required to carry out a large-scale investigation, but may also have a miraculous effect.

Sure enough, in the afternoon of the same day, several people secretly reported various clues about Hassan to the police, of course, there are true and false, but for the police who have mastered Hassan's general itinerary, it is not difficult to distinguish the true from the false. The task force quickly screened out a few pieces of information that were more accurate in time and place, and then began to conduct an in-depth investigation.

There is a piece of information that has attracted the attention of Fu Li and Lin Nan, because after comparing the reported information, this piece of information has more than one person to testify, and the time and place are relatively consistent, and it is more consistent with Hassan's itinerary.

On January 23, the afternoon of Hassan's arrival at the port of Sanya, the shopkeeper of the Piaoxiang Oil Sauce Shop on the second branch of the Landscape Avenue, he saw a man with a similar appearance to Hassan enter the Nanyang Pavilion across the street. He remembered this incident because after that, a guest couldn't find change after paying, so he went to the Nanyang Pavilion opposite to ask for help, and saw that person talking to the shopkeeper Su of the Nanyang Pavilion. ”

Another clue came from the servant of the Post envoy who lived at the State Guest House, who met Hassan on the scenic road that day, and because he saw that he looked like a compatriot, he came up to greet him, and the two talked a few words. According to him, Hassan was preparing to go to a shop to sell the gems he had bought from Java, and the only luxury goods store in the neighborhood happened to be Nanyang Pavilion. ”

After Fu Li finished reading, he put down the information and said to Lin Nan: "If the shopkeeper Wang sees that the person who entered the Nanyang Pavilion is Hassan, then the time is basically consistent with another clue. According to the clues we have earlier, Hassan should not have stayed long before returning to Sanya Port by train, and that dinner was eaten with his men, and it is possible that this Nanyang Pavilion was his destination in Shengli Port that day. ”

"It's Nanyang Pavilion......" Lin Nan responded, but did not continue.

"What's wrong with this shop?" Fu Li noticed Lin Nan's strange appearance and asked.

"This shop...... It is an industry under the name of Qiong Lianfa, and part of the shares are in the hands of some big leaders. Lin Nan said in a deep voice: "It doesn't matter if you investigate the murder case, I'm afraid that I will find something that shouldn't be investigated......" (To be continued.) )
