As they went down, everyone asked more than 20 ships and owners about the situation. At the beginning, several people had some interactions with the people in the photo, but they just unloaded the goods for them.
But after asking a while, no ship owner had ever dealt with the other party. He continued to go south, but the ship owner had had an intersection with the other party.
Lin Mo thought about it carefully and didn't find it strange. The ship owner with intersection in the north should have had a short contact time and had not left yet. The ship owner with intersection in the middle had already left, and the ship owner with intersection in the south had left and returned.
Considering this reason, and this was a deal between the other party and the other party, he should have been familiar with the action. There may not be many flaws revealed at this time, so Lin Mo simply went to the south of the city to ask.
As expected, not only are there more people here who have interactions with the other party, but they are not as unwilling to move goods as before, but often talk to the ship owner and crew, but these people don’t pay much attention to the other party, which makes Lin Mo a little disappointed.
I boarded a cargo ship that was unloading half of the cargo at the dock. The crew owners on the ship and the unloading workers under the ship all held rice bowls, either sitting, standing or leaning on them, burying their heads for eating.
When the owner saw someone boarding the ship, he walked over while eating and asked, "How many people, is there anything wrong? Are you going to transport goods or..."
"We are police officers and want to ask you about some information."
Hearing this, the ship owner quickly put down the rice bowl in his hand, chewed the rice in his mouth, swallowed it hard, and said with a smile: "Police officer, please forgive me, please forgive me..."
"It's okay, we are responsible for a case. If you have a clue, please tell you the truth..."
"It must be..." Hearing that it was an investigation, the ship owner breathed a sigh of relief and quickly responded, just because he was under the guise of making money.
"Okay... I don't know which bastard guy has sneaked into the warehouse recently? The above threw this errand into us and asked us to check it out.
I found people who appeared around that day, but after searching, I found no evidence and I don’t know who had any problems, so I asked you if you had any dealings with each other and see if there were any clues.”
After saying that, Lin Mo took out more than a dozen photos, including those who were investigated and those who were used to confuse the public, and handed them to the ship owner.
"Look at it! These guys are there anyone who has dealt with you?"
When the ship owner heard this, he looked at it one by one, selected a few of them and said, "These people have unloaded the goods for me before, but no one else has seen them."
These guys are quite sloppy. They always like to come and talk to each other for nothing. They are not serious about their work. They always look for opportunities to be lazy, but their hands are quite clean and they have never been hidden."
These words were not much different from the previous ship owner, which disappointed Lin Mo, but he continued to ask: "Have anyone ever talked to the other party?"
"Yes! Then..." The owner pointed toward the bow of the ship, and Lin Mo looked at him. A guy was sitting alone at the bow of the ship and burying his head with no one around approaching him.
"This guy is a chatterbox. Balabara can make you want to make you furious. If he hadn't been a relative asking for arrangements and writing and calculating, he would have driven him off long ago and would have been so annoyed.
He had a lot of talk with these people when he was having dinner that day. Among us, he talked a lot with each other, so you can ask him."
"Okay, please keep your conversation secret today! Don't talk about it, so as not to affect our case."
"I understand..." After hearing this, the ship owner nodded and responded.
Lin Mo walked towards the bow of the boat and looked at the other person a few times. The man was only under twenty years old. Although his skin was darker, his face was pretty, which gave people a good first impression, and even a bit gentle and gentle.
"What's your name?" Lin Mo asked after looking at the other party a few times.
"Police officer, my name is Chen Xiyan, I'm the East Chen, I hope Xi, Shaoyan's words, this is my teacher who gave me. The name "Xiyan" comes from the Tao Te Ching. "Xiyan is natural, so the wind does not last forever, and the sudden rain does not last forever.
'Xi' refers to hope, the teacher means that my life is full of hope, and at the same time, this word also has the meaning of 'less'; 'Yes' refers to words, and the two combinations mean that 'speak less'. It symbolizes that a boy is a quiet man with a gentle temperament, and at the same time means that a boy speaks less and does more things..."
"Stop and stop..." Ask a name, the other party started to talk nonstop. Lin Mo was speechless. And the name his teacher gave him, I really don't know what his teacher was annoyed.
Lin Mo took out the photos, handed them over, and asked, "I heard that you had a great time talking to these people at that time. What did you talk about?"
Seeing this, Chen Xiyan took the photos and immediately replied: "I have seen them all. At that time, these people helped to move the goods. They talked with me for an hour during the break! It's rare that they didn't dislike me for talking too much. Did something happen to them?"
"Nothing happened, it was just that there was a case around them. Now come and check it out to see if they can eliminate their suspicion. You don't have to worry too much, just talk about the situation discussed at that time."
"This..." Chen Xiyan hesitated a little. Lin Mo thought he had anything to do with the other party. He was about to warn him, but he heard Chen Xiyan say: "I had been chatting for an hour and I had been talking too much. I had to talk about everything. Do you have to say everything?"
"Uh..." Lin Mo was speechless again, and finally nodded, saying, "You remember to say it all, you can do nothing."
"Yes, I'll tell you, I have a good memory and I will definitely not miss a word..."
"Okay, talk about serious matters..." Lin Mo interrupted Chen Xiyan, who was talking nonsense, took out the paper and pen, and started recording.
"These people came to unload the goods that day, and I was responsible for counting and recording the goods. It was this time! Nearly half of the goods were unloaded. After the meal was on, these people talked to me..."
Not only did it go without missing a word, Chen Xiyan not only repeated every sentence that both parties said, but also portrayed all the shapes and movements of both parties at that time to life.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Chen Xiwen's mouth, Balabala talked about it for nearly two hours, except for stopping and waiting for Lin Mo's records from time to time, he would not stop.
Lin Mo's hand was also written constantly, recording half of the book, and his hands were trembling slightly, and he felt his fingers cramping.
"Huh... Okay, I'll keep my mouth shut and don't reveal it." Lin Mo breathed a long sigh and warned him. To be honest, Lin Mo was really afraid that the other party's mouth would not be able to control it, and Barabala was spread everywhere.
"Don't worry, officer, although I am really good at speaking and love to talk, I'm very strict! You can rest assured if you know the priorities."
Chen Xiwen said this, but Lin Mo was still a little worried. Before leaving, he asked the ship owner. It was indeed as Chen Xiwen said, and Lin Mo left with confidence.
After getting off the boat, they happened to meet with King He Changwen, who had come down from other boats, and a few of them gathered together to communicate with each other.
"Captain Lin, you have been on this boat for so long? Have you discovered it?"
Hearing He Changwen's question, Lin Mo explained: "There is a chatter chatter on the boat. I chatted with those people for an hour. I recorded the conversation and haven't looked at it carefully. What about you here? What's your finding?"
"I found several ship owners who had intersected with each other, but like before, no one was talking to them, so..."
"Continue to ask! If there is any conversation, record it all. I will go to the teahouse to wait for you. I will almost ask me. My handwriting is trembling, so I won't ask you."
"Yes..." He Changwen and Wang Yinglong responded, walked towards another ship, and Lin Mo walked towards a large teahouse on the riverside, opened a private room, and watched the records inside.
Lin Mo believed that since these people were interested in talking to the ship owner and crew, they must have wanted to inquire about some information during the conversation, and the other party had been talking to Chen Xiyan for so long, it was impossible not to inquire about it.
Lin Mo opened the conversation record and looked down carefully bit by bit. The front was just chatting, and the latter should have figured out Chen Xiyan's personality, and then turned into a curious baby and asked Chen Xiyan various questions. After Chen Xiyan answered, he was flattered.
After careful study of these questions, Lin Mo did not find any problems. He continued to read. In the middle of the conversation, Lin Mo discovered some clues. These people began to consciously guide the topic and lead the content of the conversation to the ship and cargo.
Lin Mo knew the key point was coming, but he still looked down patiently, trying not to miss any details.
"Brother Chen, I think many ships will pile goods on the deck. If it rains and water comes in, do you have to pay?"
"We must pay for it, but we are not stupid. The ones on the deck are not afraid of water. They are protected by the cargo box, and linen is also wrapped in outside the box. When it rains, the boat can also be covered with canvas..."
Chen Xiyan Balabala said for several minutes, and another person asked again: "Brother Chen, I see that the canvas will also seep water? Why don't you cover it with other things?
I helped someone move goods before, and I saw some of the goods packed with dark green, smooth and reflective cloth, as if the material was hung on the bow clothes. I heard from people that it was a tarp and would not seep at all!"
"You said that is the fabric of a raincoat. There is rubber on that thing, which is the material of the tire. It is expensive and it is not worth it to use for packaging goods. It is easy to bump into the outlet.
You said that dress, don't touch it. It's the captain's treasure. There's only one piece on the whole boat. Last time someone sneaked it and touched it, and was fined by the captain for a month."
After Chen Xiyan finished speaking, the few people suddenly realized it, and another question asked: "Brother Chen, we have seen the goods wrapped in that cloth before. Have you ever encountered them?"
"That's not, but goods wrapped in that kind of fabric must be very expensive."
"Yes, yes... I'll say, there were a bunch of people staring at us when we moved. I was very strong and got hit by a few sticks..."
Looking at this conversation, Lin Mo showed a smile on his face. After writing a few words on the paper, he continued to read. The content afterwards returned to the initial messy state, and the problems became varied again.
Moreover, Lin Mo also saw from Chen Xiyan's description that these people were a little impatient at first, and soon ended the conversation under the name of about to move goods.
"Dongdong..." The door was knocked, and He Changwen, Wang Yinglong and two other team members came in.
"Team Lin, we have asked about some of the situations. Other team members who have not gained much, I have arranged for them to go back first."
"Well..." Lin Mo nodded, let some sit down, and passed the note that had just written a few words, saying, "Look! Did you mention this thing when you asked about it?"
He Changwen took the paper and saw the words "tarps" written on it, and immediately said: "Captain Lin, is it a tarps used to make raincoats?"
"Yes..." Lin Mo nodded, looked at Wang Yinglong and the other two. The three of them nodded. This thing appeared in the situation they asked about.
"Now it seems that what the other party is looking for should be a batch of goods wrapped with tarps."
"Wrapped with tarps?" He Changwen pondered for a while and said, "Captain Lin, it is rare to wrap goods with tarps! If this is the case, we will send more people to the dock to inquire, and it should not be difficult to find traces."
"It's not that simple..." Lin Mo shook his head and said, "If it were so easy, these people would have found them long ago. What about the hard-earned warehouses and warehouses that are now searching for?"
"This..." He Changwen was speechless. He thought about it carefully and found that this was indeed the case, so he continued to ask: "Captain Lin, what would be the real situation?"
Lin Mo replied, "When using tarps to wrap, it may be because of the particularity of the goods and for protection, tarps to waterproof, but it is not that the appearance of the goods is really wrapped in tarps.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! I guess it should be wrapped in other things outside the tarp. After all, the tarp itself is not cheap. Exposing the tarp will easily attract others' attention, and even be targeted by people with ulterior motives."
He Changwen nodded and asked again: "Captain Lin, what should I do now? How to check next?"
"Let's go back first! Let's see what clues the others have found." Lin Mo said, and took the four people downstairs.
Lin Mo did not go back to the courtyard directly, but went to Cheng Dalin first, learned about the situation they found, and then rushed to the courtyard.
It was getting close to evening. When he returned to the courtyard, Shi Baocun had already returned. Lin Mo immediately went over to meet him and exchanged the situation.
"Old Shi, how are you doing there? Have you found out what's going on?"
"Yes..." Shi Baocun nodded, welcomed Lin Mo into the house, sat down, and began to introduce the situation found.
"Captain Lin, I pressed your words and checked all the railway stations in Nanjing. I really asked about the situation and found the whereabouts of the two of them."
Shi Baocun handed Lin Mo two photos, but two of them did not appear around Liao Tinghui's house.
"After we arrived at the train station, we took photos and asked the station staff. No one recognized the staff inside, but fortunately there were many vendors in the station, and they were at the station every day, so I just became a living doctor and asked them about it.
In Chengnan Station, I didn’t expect that some of them were really discovered. One of them was recognized by a cigarette vendor. It happened that something happened to this guy that day. I remember the date and the approximate time.
I asked the staff later and found the bus at that time. The bus arrived at the South Station again in the afternoon. After waiting for the bus, I asked the two of them from the obedient staff on the bus."
