Chapter 311: Black Cat's Hint (Part II)
"I've heard from your intermediary that you're actually commissioned to come here, and you can help you get rid of the wanted warrant on your head, so you should be a big man. Did he tell you who he was? Seeing that the atmosphere was a little dull, Chris changed the subject slightly. No. Hydra shook his head, "We haven't heard anything about the client so far. However, the other party was willing to offer a huge payment, and helped us get rid of the wanted warrant for the sake of mobility. I think the other party must be someone involved in the Simonson incident, perhaps a victim who is eager to seek the truth. ”
"Hmm...... I would like to remind you that the people involved in the Simonson affair have either been hiding as much as they have been able to do all these years or have long since 'disappeared' as much as I did. Speaking of the word missing, Chris stuck out his finger and put a quotation mark on it, "I'm going to give you some advice as a person, and it's better to be wary of your client." In all these years, I had never heard of anyone entrusting someone to investigate Simonson, who was said to have a problem with his head, and there was probably some other intention in this. ”
"Thanks for the reminder. But we're pirates after all, and we're only here for a commission. If the client is going to turn back, we just have to go. Hydra smiled nonchalantly, "Let's get back to business, Mr. Chris." Do you have any other clues? ”
"In addition to empire, we are also trying to diverge our thinking into other areas. You should know that Simonson not only had an affair with the Resistance, but also that Jumoyan and Kailian were also privately connected with this guy, and we have found evidence to confirm this information, and both of them did have a heart but were unable to help Simonson because of domestic affairs at the time. ”
"If so, can you ask how you got in touch? We might be able to find those people, maybe-" This time there was no need for Yang Yi to ask, Hydra himself asked first.
"I can't find it." Chris shook his head and said, "We've tried, too." Kailian got in touch with Simonson through a company, Shenggang Heavy Industries, and you may not have much of an impression of this company. This is an imperial enterprise that used to directly provide heavy machinery and equipment and related services to the imperial army, and it was not a small business back then. It's a pity that I don't know if Simonson was implicated after the incident, and it was seized by the Imperial Security Service a few months after the incident. ”
Yang Yi and Hydra glanced at each other, and they both saw a hint of relief in each other's eyes - they had finally made some progress.
"How did Kailian find Shenggang Heavy Industries? Why is Shenggang Heavy Industries willing to help Simonson and Kailian pass the word? The Imperial Military Department should also give a lot, right? Why ......"
"The more reliable theory is that Shenggang Heavy Industries also did not know what Simonson and Kailian were secretly colluding with." Chris smiled, "Because Kailian is half a puppet state of the empire, Simonson is a major general in the military, and Shenggang Heavy Industry mostly thinks that the two sides want to talk about some secret cooperation, and in order to close the relationship with the military and Kailian, they also agree to be a matchmaker or something." ”
"Speaking of which, it has always been said that Simonson is in collusion with foreign countries and with resistance groups, but what exactly does he want to do? Even if it's collusion, there must always be a purpose, right? ”
"If we knew, we wouldn't have been investigating for so long." Chris smiled wryly and said, "Don't talk about us, I guess the people from the Imperial Security Service are also confused." Simonson himself could not have known what he was trying to do. Most of the people we found who had some connection to Simonson's story said they were also curious about Simonson's true purpose, but no one knew what it was. ”
"You can't just make more friends......"
"Maybe it's to leave some way out for yourself." Hydra was noncommittal and pulled the topic back, "How did they find Shenggang Heavy Industries?" ”
"It's that drug dealing, remember? Shenggang Heavy Industry really has nothing to do with that case, they were pitted by a drug trafficking group in the empire, Shenggang Heavy Industry once privately went to Kailian's side to explain, Kailian's attitude was quite polite, and he helped a lot to help them exonerate them in the face of the credit point, and the two sides also established a certain cooperative relationship, to be precise, it established a good cooperative relationship with several mining groups in Kailian - but unfortunately it didn't last long. ”
Simonson is very enthusiastic about the connection of Shenggang Heavy Industries, and he and Kailian have met many times to discuss some topics that are not clear to Shenggang Heavy Industries. However, one thing you may need to know is that just over a month before the day Shenggang Heavy Industry was seized, several Kailian groups that had a good relationship with Shenggang Heavy Industry suddenly unilaterally tore up the cooperation agreement and directly cut off the supply. Because of the suddenness of the incident, the company suddenly lost an important source of raw materials, which almost led to the forced shutdown of an important production line, and then a short-term agreement with a company in the empire with a higher price was temporarily signed to stabilize it. But before they could calm down and question their former partner, they were approached by the Security Service. ”
"What a 'reliable' trading partner......"
"Kailian." Chris is not surprised, "synonymous with greed, short-sightedness and egoism." They must have gotten the news from some source, in order to prevent being implicated by the Security Bureau. ”
"Isn't there a little bit of news about their meeting? Is Shenggang Heavy Industry so relieved? ”
"It's not so much reassuring as it's simply not at all." Chris shrugged, "I'm just as confused as you are. It took us a long time to find a lot of people, but the answer was the same, except for the first meeting, the rest of the meeting Shenggang Heavy Industry did not even participate, all of them were directly contacted. Shenggang knew they were meeting because they were responsible for helping Simonson forge his identity. The fake identities that Simonson and Kailian contacted were all in the presence of a non-existent executive of Shenggang Heavy Industries, and this executive's travel records were all present at Shenggang Heavy Industries. ”
"Kailian is the lead of Shenggang Heavy Industries, so what about Yumoyan? Is it also a company matchmaker? ”
"Not really." Chris took a sip of water, "There was a person who took the initiative to find him, perhaps because of the same interests, so he chose to cooperate." It's a pity that when Simonson's east window incident happened, that person was dragged down by the chaotic political situation in Yumoyan, otherwise he might have succeeded in escaping to Yumoyan for refuge. ”
"Who is that person? We might be able to get some clues from him. ”
"You're asking late. The man had died more than a year ago. Chris put down his glass and grinned, "It was quite a big fuss, do you remember?" ”
"The person who had personal contact with Simonson was Mr. Yumoyan, the former Speaker of the House of Representatives, who was assassinated more than a year ago."
