Chapter 502: Favors are hard to buy[1]

Views:

According to the plan, Anpu was supposed to arrive in Namirinds two weeks ago, but encountered some unexpected situations on the way.

The investigators of the case he took over before may have alerted the target, so Sheng Yaren launched the so-called "big event" in advance.

They attacked a town and began to encroach on the surrounding area using this town as a stronghold. The Ministry of National Defense urgently mobilized the relevant army to suppress it. The Anna team responsible for the case also needed to go to the first scene.

The leader of this provincial extremist nationalist organization has been wreaking havoc in the western part of the empire. Based on Anpu's analysis and the work of intelligence personnel, combined with some clues from the scene, Anpu targeted a federal rich man.

This wealthy man has been providing sports funds to the Flame organization, and sometimes asks them to do something.

Six similar short-term organizations have been identified in the empire. The financial backers of these six organizations are all from the Federation. It is very likely that those in the Federation did this to disrupt the internal security of the empire. As for whether there is a higher-level political purpose, Anpu doesn't want to think about it. He is very satisfied with his current work and life. He doesn't need to think about other things, he only needs to do what he likes to do.

Photos were placed chaotically on his table, and besides the dead people, the most numerous photos among them were these chips.

Based on the clues he got, he can draw a conclusion that is very close to the truth. An organization headed by Todd, the former mayor of Namirinds, is secretly manufacturing counterfeit currency. They plan to use such counterfeit currency to attack the city of Otis. "Duhring's Rules", and at the same time, you can get a lot of money from there. Unfortunately, Du Lin found out about this, so he killed all these people.

The case is both simple and difficult, just like Dulin's previous style. There are no big flaws, no valuable clues, let alone evidence that can accuse Dulin. He is still so cunning, so cunning that he doesn't leave anything useful behind when he does things, and he also has a back-up plan. Anpu not only had to make a copy of the evidence materials in his hands and send them back to the Imperial Capital, but also sent a copy to the Ministry of Defense of the Empire, where he was told that they would inquire at any time to learn the specific contents.

Because a large number of rifles and a portable heavy weapon appeared in this case, some people in the Ministry of Defense believed that it might involve military crimes. Anything involving military personnel is never a trivial matter.

The Navy is so bad that it even knows the bottom, and they don't want the Army to become like that.

Anpu looked at some of the clues recorded in the book and pondered. Dulin's "criminal" methods became simpler and more violent, and there were fewer and fewer clues and flaws. There is a sentence in the ancient Origins that summarizes many experiences and is full of wisdom. The general meaning is that the more complicated a lock is, the easier it is to be picked open. On the contrary, if you only install a single-sided latch in the door, even if a thief can open all the locks in the world, he will not be able to enter the house.

There is a story behind this sentence. It is said that there was a very magical thief in the Origins. There was no place he could not enter, whether it was the place where all things originated or a room in a temple. He thought that he could go in and get out. Once he took a fancy to a rich man's collection, so he wrote a letter to the rich man, telling him that he would steal the thing at twelve o'clock one night.

The rich man found the smartest man in the area and asked him how to solve the problem. The man told him to use a big stone to dig out a room with only a door and no windows, then put the collection inside and put a person in it. From the inside, pass an iron fiber through the iron ring on the iron plate and insert it into the jack to ensure that the rich man's things are intact inside.

The rich man obeyed and was dumbfounded when the robber appeared and looked at the house that was almost a whole stone. He has dexterous fingers and an amazing sense of touch. No matter how complicated the lock is, he can open it in a short time. However, facing a "house" that is locked from the inside and has no gaps on the outside, he has nothing to do. I can only sigh and leave.

Du Lin is not the thief, he is the smart man. He has gradually understood that the more people involved in doing something, the more complicated the process, the easier it is to make mistakes, and traces and clues will be left. So he became very rough, and struck out without any premeditation, as if on a whim, killing everyone and then leaving without exposing anything except the tire tracks left by those cheap tires.

If you want to catch Du Lin and send him to prison, you have to catch up with him step by step from the time when he was not mature enough.

Anpu has given up on this case this time, because there is no point in continuing the investigation. The day of the incident was the first week celebration day of Otis City. At that time, Dulin hosted activities in various large business establishments. Countless people saw him and saw that he never left Otis City. Those under him also have alibi evidence, and coupled with his connections and prestige in Otis City, it is too easy to find a few perjury witnesses.

If he wants to arrest Du Lin, he must prove that Du Lin is related to this matter. This requires sufficient evidence to support it, but now he has nothing. He didn't know where the executors of that group of people came from, how many people there were, and who they were. So why use this attack to testify against Dulin

By feeling

On the contrary, Tenel's gold robbery left many clues that can be traced step by step, including some clues he left when he first arrived in Ilian City.

Anna didn't show any disappointment when Anpu told Anna that the case did not need to be investigated. She looked through some of the information archived by Anpu and the empire. Dulin was far more cunning than the guy wearing the mask. , if it was so easy to arrest Du Lin and send him to the cell, forcing the leader to show up on his own initiative, maybe Anna would have taken revenge long ago.

"You have a long vacation next. What are you going to do?" Anna asked on the way back to the imperial capital. Each team in their department will only work together when they have a task. When there is no task, they will work together. You can go about your own business. The purpose of asking this question is that Anna hopes that if something unexpected happens, she can find Anpu in time. During this time together, Anna has already felt how powerful Anpu is.

After analyzing many cases, he was able to quickly reconstruct the specific situation at that time with almost the same accuracy. Even his analytical skills were top-notch, and he had become an indispensable assistant to her.

Anpu lowered his head and looked at the crutch in his hand, "I'm going to the Federation. Tuckers' line is very important. I haven't appeared for a while. I have to remind him before he forgets about me. , find something to do.”

There is no conflict between Anpu and Anna on this point. There are no hard requirements on how to arrange their lives after work. As long as they can return to the team on time, no one will interfere with their lives after work.

Just when Anpu left the Imperial Capital for the Federation, Du Lin came to the Imperial Capital and Mags wanted to see him.

When he came to the imperial capital Dulin again, he found that the city he once liked made him feel a little bored. It was not like Otis City where there was a happy atmosphere all day long. It seemed a bit depressing here, especially when the weather was bad and gloomy. Some conspiracy brewing.

The two met in a cafe outside the First Avenue administrative area. When Dulin arrived ten minutes early, Magus was already sitting by the window. He was reading a book with his eyes on. He was so focused that Dulin approached him. react to.

He folded the book, then closed it and placed it on the table. Dulin glanced at it. It was a book about philosophy.

Perhaps sensing Dulin's curious gaze, Maggs said with a smile: "This book is quite interesting. It was written by a mentally ill person. I never thought that their world could be so interesting. If you have a chance, you can also You can read it." He asked the waiter to bring him a cup of scented tea and four plates of pastries. There were no customers at the surrounding tables, so it would not affect their conversation and it would not be possible to hear what they were saying clearly.

Dulin sat down and looked at Mags. Mags took a piece of pastry and took a bite. "I helped you suppress the matter. This time you went too far. No matter how Todd offended you, You should not break the rules of the game we abide by. Killing is always the next best thing, and this time you made a bad choice."

"But the effect is very good!" Dulin continued, "He doesn't look like a mayor, at least what he does doesn't seem like what a mayor should do. In addition, I need to retort, without evidence. Under the circumstances, I do not and cannot admit to things that I have not done." He smiled and took out a cigarette.

Mags maintained his old-school gentleman demeanor and did not show any displeasure. He obviously wanted to sell Dulin a favor, but Dulin refused. At the level of Mags, the expression on his face would never reflect his true inner thoughts. He nodded with a smile, "Really? It turns out I was wrong!"

Du Lin's reaction made him omit some words and talk about another thing, "How did the thing we talked about last time go?" He was referring to Du Lin's big plan, which involved thousands of people. Thousands of funds, this is not a small amount. If they hadn't been assured that Du Lin could catch him even if he ran away, it would have been impossible for these people to invest such a large amount of money in Du Lin's plan.

"It's very good. The first step of the plan has been launched. So far everything has gone very smoothly. If the current momentum continues, we can give them a hard blow in at most two years."

This is a big game. As long as the first step is taken, the federal people will soon find that the financial model they are proud of is about to be destroyed!

I'm stuck. I'll make up for it tomorrow.
