Chapter 1154 The Third Person
Wei Bachi looked at his watch, an hour had passed, and it was almost noon.Zhong Lishi said to Li Shun: "Look, half an hour has passed. Since you refuse to say anything, I think you are in trouble. Dinner is about to start, why don't we talk about it after lunch? "

Li Shun said to Wei Bachi: "Master Wei, I really have to play with this card by myself—we are fishers, we can't sleep at night and watch the sea, all rely on playing Pai Gow for entertainment."

"Your Pai Gow is not a complete set. Why are there only a few cards? Where are the others?" Wei Bachi had just looked at his personal belongings found in the search. There were three or four dominoes in them, which could not be used at all. Play Pai Gow.

"I lost it when I was playing..." Li Shun blinked, "Master, you have learned a lot! Our boat goes up and down every day, and if we are not careful, we will lose a few dollars."

Wei Bachi shook his head: "You can play the cards yourself, what are you doing with the marks on the cards? Which casino's marks are two short and one long?!"

"This..." Li Shun didn't expect the Australians to know this, he was stunned for a moment, and said with a sad face, "Master, this matter is shameful, if the boss of the casino finds out, he will kill me."

Wei Bachi: "Don't worry! We will keep it secret for you, and we will never reveal it. Besides, I didn't ask you to help for nothing..." As he spoke, he took out a piece of silver from his pocket and put it on the table.

When Li Shun saw the thing, he immediately smiled.But after thinking about it carefully, he frowns again: "I... I have a wife and children..."

Wei Bachi smiled slightly, and took out another piece of silver from his pocket.Seeing the two pieces of silver on the table, Li Shun hesitated to speak, and sighed, "I still have an eighty-year-old mother at home..."

Wei Bachi said with a smile, "I never thought you would have such filial piety." He called out, "Come here."

Immediately outside the door came in an obscene, short naturalized worker, wearing a blue collar badge.

"It's time for lunch, please treat Li Xiaozi well." He looked at his watch, "I'll give you 5 minutes to influence him with the truth." Wei Bachi walked out of the room with a smile.

Wei Bachi came to the corridor outside the house, and the short naturalized man closed the door from the inside, and then heard a crisp sound of joint dislocation from inside, followed by a scream like a slaughtered pig.Wei Bachi took out a cigar, lit it, and slowly puffed out smoke rings.By this time Xu Xu had come back, saw Wei Bachi smoking outside the house, and said:
"What? You used the iron fist of dictatorship so soon?"

Wei Bachi shrugged helplessly: "I must be too kind..."

After a while, the staff of the naturalized people came out, and he stood at attention with a bump on his heels: "Report to the chief, he said that he is willing to say anything."

Wei Bachi looked at his watch: "Three minutes." He said to Xu Xu, "Are you people from the Political Security Bureau very capable?"

"I'm from the Intelligence Bureau." Xu Xu had to correct him.This Guihuamin of the Political Security Bureau was a former yamen servant in Qiongzhou government office. He was in charge of extorting confessions by torture. He was brutal and unscrupulous.It is a very useful thug.

According to Li Shun's confession: the dominoes he carried were forged from a casino in Jinjiang County, Quanzhou Prefecture. The owner of the casino was named Lin Shimao.The murderer who was beaten to death was Mori Jiusheng, a Japanese.He and Li Shun are old acquaintances, but they are not very familiar with each other.

Mori Jiusheng killed people in Japan, fled to China with the "Tang Chuan", and has been wandering around Quanzhou doing some black business to survive. According to Li Shun, he has killed many people and is a ruthless killer.Because I have been in Quanzhou all the year round, I can speak a good Hokkien dialect.

Li Shun was caught by Lin Shimao for cheating. He originally said that he would stamp his hand, but later Lin Shimao said that as long as he went to Taiwan with Sen Jiusheng, he would forget the past and give him another 20 taels of silver. the benefits of.

He and Mori Jiusheng, under the pretext of being recruited as handymen, got on a big fishing boat that came to Taiwan waters to fish, and came to Kaohsiung just like that.

After arriving in Kaohsiung, Li Shun ran errands for him according to Mori Jiusheng's arrangement, including stealing uniforms. Li Shun's real job was to be a thief.After the uniform was stolen, he gave it to Li Shun, and then he didn't know what happened.

As for why Mori Jiusheng came to Kaohsiung, he didn't know anything.All he knew was to follow Mori Jiusheng's orders.After Mori Jiusheng was killed, he was very scared, but he couldn't leave Kaohsiung, so he had to wait for the port to open before slipping away.

"What? He didn't know about killing Zhang Yaoniu?" Xu Xu asked.

However, he was not the one who killed Mori Jiusheng.Li Shun didn't know who killed him, but he said that Sen Jiusheng should have acquaintances here, and he often went out alone to meet people.

The most terrible thing is that Li Shun didn't even know the details of Zhang Yanniu's murder—he only knew that Mori Jiusheng had killed someone.

"This is just a young man, running errands." Wei Bachi was very disappointed with his confession.

"At least we have new clues." Although Xu Xu said so, his brows were still frowning. It seemed that this mysterious third person was the key.Investigation work will continue.

The guards lifted Li Shun, who was limp on the ground, Wei Bachi shook his head, and ordered: "Find a doctor and show him. We are a society ruled by law, and we must be humane." He dusted off the cigarette ash.

"What should we do next?" Wei Bachi asked.

"First, we have to continue to investigate and catch the third person—the key one," Xu said.

Li Shun is an errand runner, Mori Jiusheng is just a killer, and the key person is the one who actually hides behind the scenes and commands and kills Mori Jiusheng.

Once he was caught, it would be clear.

Wei Bachi felt a little regretful: "After a long time of trouble, we still can't find out who is going to assassinate Westley."

"It's obvious. We just can't prove it."

"An official."

"His suspicion is the biggest." Xu Xu said, "Of course there are other possibilities. But I am artificially in this time and space, and the conspiracy will not be too complicated. And he will benefit the most by mobilizing the relationship between us and the Dutch." .”

"Why did Zheng Yiguan send a Japanese here?"

"Don't forget that Zheng Yiguan has a lot of influence in Japan. Yan Siqi has been operating in Japan for a long time, and the shogunate is very talkative. Zheng Zhilong inherited Yan Siqi's team, and he must have inherited some of these relationships. Besides, Zheng Chenggong's The Matagawa family is Japanese." Xu said, "The Japanese are everywhere along the coast of East Asia, and they are rootless people who are good material for killer cannon fodder."

"Based on the materials we have, we can at least give the Bangcut father and daughter an explanation."

"It's not a thorough investigation yet. It's because we only figured it out ourselves. To convince them, we must produce strong evidence." Xu Xu said, "We must catch the third person!"

The third person is still in Kaohsiung, but there are no more clues at present-the only clue that is allowed is that this person can shoot blow darts.

But a blowgun is an easy thing to hide, and easy to dispose of.No suspicious barrels were found during the search, suggesting that the individual may have disposed of the murder weapon.

Xu Xu thought to himself, this opponent still has some skills.He decided to start by sorting out the arrested suspects.In addition, Li Shun and the people on his fishing boat can ask again, maybe they can get some new clues.

On the one hand, the permission allows people to continue to interrogate the suspect.Once again, the facts of the case were reorganized.Zhong Xiaoying was interviewed again and asked her to recall all the details of chasing Mori Jiusheng.

Zhong Xiaoying provided a clue when reminiscing: she probably remembered where Mori Jiusheng jumped into the sea.

"Do you remember?" Xu Xu was overjoyed, "Let's go and see!"

"But I don't remember exactly..."

"It's okay, let's talk about it later."

Then he took Zhong Xiaoying to the scene of the fishing boat wharf where Mori Jiusheng was killed.Although there is no surveillance equipment on the pier, and it is impossible to consult the surveillance to find out the exact location of Mori Jiusheng when he was killed, it is generally known how far away from the pier he was hit-according to Zhong Xiaoying's recollection, this person probably wandered It's 15-20 meters away.

"He should have jumped from this place." Zhong Xiaoying pointed out.Here along the pier there is a row of stakes for tying the cables. "I don't remember which one it is." She looked at the stake carefully, as if trying to recall the details of that day.

"Sorry, I can't remember." She said regretfully, and then looked around, "But it's between these three or four piles."

This distance is about ten meters.Licensing roughly sketched the terrain and orientation on a legal pad.Then it marked the approximate range of where Mori Jiusheng was hit.

Xu Xu knows that even modern blowing arrows have a limited range. In this time and space, hand-crafted blowing arrows are rough, and they can't be made very long if they are limited to portable ones. Therefore, their effective range is extremely short, at best it will not exceed 20 meters.

Based on the distance and the angle of the dart, he quickly calculated the approximate location of the dart.

"Come on, let's go to the port office." Xu Xu took Zhong Xiaoying to the port office at the fishing boat wharf.

The Guihuamin cadre who is the director of the port is a retired navy, and when he saw the head of the navy coming, he immediately stood at attention and saluted.

"Relax!" Xu said, "I want to check the berthing location of the ship on the day of the incident."

"Yes, sir," said the Harbor Master, "the position of the vessel has not changed since that day. I will show you the berth map."

After each civilian ship enters the port, it must berth in accordance with the designated berth of the port office, and each ship has a corresponding number marked on the plan of the port.It is basically clear at a glance.Lian compared his own sketches, and quickly delineated eight fishing boats capable of shooting blow darts.
