1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 963
Regarding Du Da, although Li Qin could not provide too much information to the task force, it was not without trace.In addition to appearance, the task force still pieced together some fragments of information about Duda from his confession.

Du Da came to Sanya earlier than Li Qin. When Li Qin arrived in Sanya, Du Da had already joined the naturalization.And the main way of contact between him and Li Qin is to go to Nanyang Pavilion to browse some rare books on the market, and occasionally buy a few books.Du Da is a silent and introverted person, apart from giving orders to Li Qin and receiving reports, the two actually have no more communication.

"This is really a spy with culture and thought." Zhang Qianzhi analyzed: "According to the existing information, we can adopt more targeted strategies in the investigation. He was an immigrant who arrived in Sanya before 1632. According to Li Qin, it is very likely that they also immigrated through Guangdong, which is relatively convenient to check. In addition, such educated immigrants generally do not work at the lowest level, and will The employment records of the Ministry of Civil Affairs are recorded separately in order to arrange suitable jobs. Coupled with the fact that this person has lived in Sanya for a long time, as well as the general age range and physical characteristics, I think we should be able to compress the list to be screened to a small size range."

Although the current population of naturalized residents in Sanya has exceeded 300, the vast majority of them have been filtered out through this kind of screening before the investigation.It is estimated that there are only two to three hundred people who can really meet the conditions mentioned by Zhang Qianzhi.Although this Du Da's identity has not been exposed yet, it seems that there is not much difficulty in finding him out of the crowd.

At present, the main traffic routes entering and leaving the Shengli Port area have all set up checkpoints to check their identities. However, such checkpoints are not very effective for local naturalized people with legal identities. Du Da still has the opportunity to use his naturalized status. Leave Sanya.Therefore, the special case team can't delay at all. They must find this Du Da as soon as possible.

It has to be said that the operation efficiency of the Haihan Security Department is much higher than that of most departments. Two hours after Li Qin spoke, the Security Department came up with a list of only 15 suspects.The naturalized people on this list all meet the following conditions: they immigrated from Guangdong before 1632, are educated, have lived in the Shengli Port area for a long time, are male, are between 50 and [-] years old, and are in good health. ability.

The list has been screened to such an extent, and the time is very tight, the special case team has no time to conduct identification investigations one by one, so they can only arrest all the people on the list first.The personnel on this list are distributed in multiple units from the inland of Tiandu to the port area. The three leaders of the task force led the teams respectively, and began to search for suspects according to the area and map.

The task force was worried that the person would have run away after the accident, but after all the 15 people on the list arrived at [-]:[-] p.m., everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately arranged for Li Qin to identify them.

"It's him." Li Qin did not resist this arrangement, and after observing in the dark for a while, he pointed out the target for the Haihan people.

After Fu Li asked him to confirm again, he was taken down first, and then he was ordered to arrest the person Li Qin pointed out.These people had already been searched when they were brought here, so there was no need to worry about them violently resisting.

"Other people settle down first, don't let them go for now." Lin Nan is very mature and prudent, if Li Qin deliberately disturbs the line of sight, or even if there are other accomplices among the suspects, it would be too embarrassing for the police to let them go up.

There was no disturbance in the arrest process, and the person Li Qin pointed out did not even take any resistance measures before being captured without a fight.Of course, this is probably because he knows that he will have no luck after arriving here, and even resisting is useless.

In order to prevent this person and other accomplices from taking the opportunity to escape, the special case team immediately interrogated the suspect regardless of the fatigue of the day.In addition, people were sent to report to the Police Department and the Ministry of Security separately, so that the superiors who were concerned about the case could get the news in time.

"Du Wen, at the beginning of 1631 from Xin'an County, Guangdong Province, he went to the Zhennangang Immigration Camp by himself, and then came to Sanya. He was naturalized in March 1631. He is currently working as an administrator in the Sanya University Library... Your job is very good!" Fu Li stared at the pale man below the hall, and read a few sentences from the information at hand before he got to the point: "I believe you are very clear about why you were brought here. You can get away with it by admitting it, so you should give up this unrealistic hope as soon as possible! While we are still talking to you, explain the problem honestly, otherwise you will still be [-] after you have suffered. Confess it."

The man named Du Wen's face was pale, his head drooped and he didn't respond, and he didn't know whether he had listened to Fu Li's warning.

Fu Li knew that since this kind of person had the guts to plan to kill and carry it out with his own hands, and he might have received special anti-interrogation training, he was naturally more determined than ordinary people. It would be very difficult to dispel his psychological resistance with a few verbal threats, so The two departments of the special case team have already transferred execution experts. If Du Wen refuses to cooperate, maybe he will be given a taste of Haihan's ten torture methods.

Fu Li asked in a deep voice: "Let's talk about your real identity first. Besides the librarian, are you working for the Spaniards?"

Du Wen slowly raised his head, and replied word by word: "Since you all know everything, why bother to interrogate me again? If you want to beheaded, then beheaded, why bother talking so much nonsense!"

Fu Li has interrogated many prisoners in the past few years in the Police Department, and has seen many different coping attitudes. Du Wen's intentional way of provoking the interrogators is not a new method, so he just continued to ask : "Persian businessman Hassan, did you kill him?"

Du Wen didn't make a sound this time, neither admitting nor denying it.However, his uncooperative attitude was actually expected by the task force. After all, for him, whether he admits it or not, it seems that the result will not make any difference.If you grit your teeth and don't let go, maybe you can live a little longer than confessing directly.

Fu Li asked a few more questions. Seeing that Du Wen still had the attitude of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, he became a little annoyed at the moment: "Du Wen, what you have committed has been known to the sky! Don't think that pretending to be dead is enough to fool you!" In the past, the head of the executive committee has expressed his opinion on this case, and we must investigate it thoroughly! If you continue to resist, then I can only ask you to suffer a lot!"

At this time, someone came in and whispered a few words in Fu Li's ear. Fu Li put away his anger and said to Lin Nan and Zhang Qianzhi on both sides: "The chief is here in person!"

If it was just a homicide case, then it would be enough for the special case team to handle the case. At most, the top management would sign the case file. After all, Haihan's current territory is so large, and the high-level personnel have limited energy, so it is impossible to do everything by themselves.However, the nature of this case is quite special, it has already involved the field of intelligence security, and it is an important case jointly investigated and handled by the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Security. After hearing the news that the principal culprit was captured, Ren Liang and Hao Wanqing came together and planned to personally participate in the trial the process of.

"Hello Chief!" Seeing Ren Liang and Hao Wanqing file in, the three chief judges who had already stood up and gave up their seats greeted in unison.

"Everyone is working hard! Minister Hao and I came to see the progress of the case, and at the same time represent the executive committee to give you a reassurance. No matter how deep the case is, we must investigate it to the end!" Ren Liang said after sitting down The intention of coming: "Although Mr. Tao is busy with business and can't come here in person, he also asked me to bring a message, asking you to handle the case carefully without any omissions!"

Hao Wanqing also stated: "This is the first important case that the Ministry of Security has caught this year. As long as it involves intelligence and security issues, we must follow the purpose of our Ministry of Security, investigate the case thoroughly, and not let any criminal go! "

The attitudes of both of them are very clear, they are here to cheer up the task force.This is mainly because the business scope of Nanyang Pavilion does involve the self-interest of some traversers, and the criminals who have been arrested in this case are all naturalized people. It is difficult to determine what level of people will be involved in this case.In order to prevent the special case team from being tied up during the investigation and trial, the two simply came forward in person. Even if there were any problems with the confession made by the criminal, it would be easier for them to handle it properly when they were present.

After taking their seats, the two of them took a brief look at the transcript just now, and Ren Liang couldn't help laughing: "Librarian? This is really a great job! No wonder they went to Nanyang Pavilion to buy books, indeed. The easy-to-buy books just won't satisfy his appetite."

Hao Wanqing also laughed and said, "Fortunately, we discovered it early. If we let this go unchecked, something big will happen sooner or later!"

The three people in the special case team heard that Monk Zhang Er was puzzled, and had no idea what was so funny about it.However, after Ren Liang finished joking, his face quickly darkened: "After two years in the Sanya library, you must have come into contact with a lot of amazing content, right?"

The Sanya University Library is the place with the largest collection of various books and documents under the rule of Haihan, and a considerable part of the collection is not open to the public.There are a large number of written materials brought by the time-traveling group from another time and space, and they are also stored in the library. Apart from the time-travelers, only the internal administrators can access these materials.

Of course, apart from some map data, people in this era probably don't understand too much.Most of the materials stored in the library are relatively difficult academic books on physics, mathematics, chemical engineering, etc. Not to mention the librarians of this era, even if they travel through the group, only some professionals can master relevant aspects knowledge.Du Wen, the administrator, may have access to some of the information, but he may not be able to understand and learn from it.

When Du Wen heard this question, he responded with a wry smile: "The so-called top-secret information can only be understood!"

Hearing this complaint, it's not hard to imagine how much time this guy spent researching those professional materials during the two years of lurking, but he obviously didn't get much benefit from it.

Ren Liang said: "Do you think that by copying the contents of the library back to Manila, your master can make a copy of Sanya? Then you are completely wrong. We can build a society like Haihan, relying on It’s not just the technical information that’s been passed down as a ‘book from the sky’, but the advanced social system that our group has mastered... Forget it, you don’t understand it! You’d better explain what you know!”

Seeing that Du Wen had returned to the state of silence again, and Fu Li was about to curse, Hao Wanqing had already said, "You think you can get away without saying anything? People who have stayed in Sanya for two years, don't you know how we Work? Your residence, your usual social relations, the materials in the library you have come into contact with during your tenure, and even the Guangdong immigrants who arrived in Sanya at the same time as you three years ago, are all being checked now! Even if you dig three feet , we will also dig out all the people and things related to you! Don’t think that you are clean after killing Hassan, you should be very clear that there is more than one messenger between Manila and Sanya! When the next messenger comes to Sanya, everything will be revealed!"

The words of Ren Liang and Hao Wanqing undoubtedly hit Du Wen's heart. His purpose of killing Hassan and ordering Li Qin to kill Su Tong was because the Manila authorities believed that Hassan was unreliable and must be dealt with in time. Cut off this line to eliminate hidden dangers.But Hassan actually travels back and forth between Manila and Sanya two or three times a year at most. There are indeed other messengers besides him, and the Nanyang Pavilion as the contact point has been exposed. Laying an ambush, it is probably only a matter of time before the next courier who throws himself into the net is caught.

However, Du Wen did not get much information about the military industry that the Manila authorities hoped to obtain. After all, his environment rarely had any intersection with the Haihan militia, and the only way to collect relevant information was from Haihan’s official reports. .Of course, this is actually because he is guarding Baoshan without knowing it. The database is full of various military technical materials, such as the preparation methods of various gunpowder and explosives, all of which are hundreds of years ahead of this era. The chemical equations in this article are indeed like a heavenly book to him, even if he has read it, he can't understand the content at all.

As far as the Manila authorities are concerned, a spy like him lurking in Sanya can provide very limited valuable information, and its role can only be regarded as better than nothing, which Du Wen himself knows very well.But what he didn't know was that even if Sanchez didn't order him to get rid of the messenger in the secret letter, Hassan had already made up his mind to expose his identity. In any case, his latent career would come to an end in early 1634.
