Chapter 1706 Do what you need to do now
After figuring out the details, the intelligence agency immediately prepared to open a case for investigation.
This case is so far-reaching that it may be no less significant than the previous cotton case and the First Store case.
As the intelligence agency's investigation deepened, the agents discovered something amiss.
That means this canned food has a very wide reach.
It's so vast it's boundless.
If it's just the Fisheries Department, that's fine.
However, the Ministry of Transport, customs, and even high-ranking officials have all become involved.
That's why the director went to Hans, hoping that Hans would allow the investigation.
Although Hans made the decision, he still needed to explain the details to Lyon.
After all, this case involves a very wide range of people.
Without Lyon's permission, even if the intelligence agency finds out, they can't arrest him.
So after Hans finished proposing, he immediately went to meet Lyon.
"Leader, look at this."
As Hans spoke, he placed a report in front of Lyon, who didn't react immediately upon seeing it.
After glancing at the case, he couldn't help but speak up.
"Isn't this just a regular theft case?"
"Then, Leader, would you like to take another look?"
After Hans finished speaking, he pointed to a string of text in the report.
"Could it be related to smuggling?"
Lyon was a little confused, but he suddenly remembered a famous case from his previous life.
To be precise, it's a special case involving a red giant bear.
The case was never resolved.
That was the infamous fishing case!
With the Ministry of Fisheries, the Ministry of Transport, and the Customs all involved, doesn't this scene seem familiar?
After thinking for a while, Lyon finally spoke.
"Now that you have gathered sufficient evidence, you submit the report and I'll issue the approval slip. Arrest all those who should be arrested!"
After hearing Lyon's permission, Hans couldn't help but ask a question.
"What if it involves a wide range of people?"
"No matter how far the involvement is, even if the marshal is implicated, he must be arrested!"
Because I don't want to repeat the same mistakes. Some things are like maggots in your body; if you don't get rid of them completely, one day they'll drain you of your life and cause the entire country to collapse!
How did that red giant, Leon, fall?
It is not only related to the system, but also to the social atmosphere at the time.
But who set the tone for this social trend?
No need to ask, it's naturally the person who loves collecting medals.
Therefore, Lyon did not want to see the Great Yan Dynasty repeat its mistakes.
Because at that time, the first people who won't be able to afford to eat will be ordinary people.
With Lyon's permission, the intelligence agency immediately assembled more than 10 elite troops.
Intelligence agents across the country were ordered to investigate.
In particular, the special agents in the coastal areas were ordered to investigate fishing teams and multiple departments such as the Ministry of Fisheries.
We intend to get to the bottom of things and find out the truth from the root.
As their investigation progressed, they discovered that something was amiss.
No matter which department they investigate—the fishing team, the cannery, or even the fisheries department—they always find the right one.
It's as if there's someone behind the scenes providing intelligence to the intelligence agency.
Or perhaps they hope the intelligence agency will stop once they've apprehended these individuals.
The intelligence agency was never able to catch who was behind them.
Because most of these people who were pushed out were minor figures, at most just leaders.
So here's the problem: arresting these people won't do much good, because the real big fish aren't making any moves at all.
These big fish have been stirring up trouble behind the scenes, making the intelligence agency's investigation extremely difficult.
After the agents from various locations reported the situation, Hans looked grave.
The people behind the scenes wanted them to stop, to push the leader out and silence the public, but behind the scenes they were doing everything they could to prevent the intelligence agency from digging deeper.
At first, the intelligence agency was somewhat at a loss.
But then something terrible happened.
That is, one of the minor leaders committed suicide.
At first, the junior leader didn't intend to commit suicide.
He intends to confess to his crimes and then plead for leniency.
Because he has a beautiful wife waiting for him at home.
Moreover, the small leader is not really a big problem. His only problem is that he turns a blind eye to the fish caught.
It wasn't that he didn't want to report it, but rather that if he did, he wouldn't be able to continue working.
It wasn't that he willingly went along with the wrongdoing, but rather that he was forced into it.
Everyone else is taking it, but you're not. What are you up to?
After his crimes were exposed, he decisively chose to plead guilty and planned to make amends through meritorious service.
But to his surprise, he heard the news of his wife's suicide while he was in prison.
When the man heard the news, the sky seemed to have fallen.
His goal in working hard was to provide his beautiful wife with a good living environment.
And most importantly, he's about to become a father.
My wife is more than two months pregnant.
He sent all the money he earned in the past six months back home.
He kept only the bare minimum for living expenses.
It can be said that he loved his wife very much, and his wife loved him just as much.
Even late at night, his wife would call him to comfort him.
The man spends the whole day at sea, sometimes able to return to port, sometimes having to spend the night on the ship. His wife calls every night to check on him and ask how he is doing.
This gave the man the motivation to persevere.
But when the news of his wife's suicide arrived, the man was instantly filled with despair.
The intelligence agency was initially somewhat sympathetic and did not tell the man the specific cause of his wife's death.
But later the man pleaded desperately.
"She said she would never commit suicide! She wants to stay with me for the rest of her life and see our child born; she would never kill herself!"
The intelligence agent was stunned when he saw the man in front of him.
Because this man didn't cry at the beginning of the interrogation, even when faced with the intelligence agency's powerful memory restoration technique.
But now she's crying like a child, completely devastated.
The intelligence agent remained silent for a moment, then recounted the details of the man's wife.
"It seems your wife was assaulted by multiple men... and then suffered unbearable humiliation..."
The intelligence agent didn't continue speaking; he wanted to give the man in front of him one last bit of dignity.
Upon hearing this, the man instantly lost all strength, closed his eyes, and began to tremble, breathing with all his might.
"It must have been them! They're afraid I'll betray them!"
They clearly said they would protect my family!
After the man finished speaking, he slammed his fist on the table.
Seeing the recessed table, the intelligence agent did not hesitate and immediately took out paper and pen to take notes.
The person in front of us is going to recruit, and he's going to recruit a lot of things!
The man spoke as he looked at the intelligence agent who was about to take notes.
"I hope that after I finish speaking, I'll get a quick end to my life. My wife is dead, my child is gone, my family is broken, and there's no point in living anymore..."
After a moment of silence, the man continued speaking.
"Mayor Baroqueli of Nanxun City, Pritclar, Director of the Port of Nanxun, and Sidoriogi, Head of the Nanxun Branch of the Ministry of Fisheries..."
Upon hearing the names the man gave, the intelligence agent was slightly taken aback, but quickly wrote them all down.
The intelligence agent fell silent after looking at the densely written names on the paper.
"How could a mere squad leader like you know so much?"
"Because one night three months ago, I was walking with my wife on the beach when we found a dying man who handed me an account book before he died."
Out of curiosity, I opened the ledger. It contained records of where many of the stolen funds had gone, and each transaction was followed by a corresponding name…
The intelligence agent stopped breathing the moment he heard this.
Oh no, something terrible is about to happen!
The agent immediately rushed out to report to his superior.
The section chief didn't even glance at the list; he immediately led the director into Hans's house...
(Good night)
