Five hundred and eighty-eighth chapter stand-in(2/2)
Cao Bin nodded, expressed his understanding, and said, "This time is enough for me. If I still can't think of a way tonight, it would be futile to give me more time. Carl, this is our common interest, and I hope you can do your best. I'll go back first, you can keep sticking to it. Before 8 o'clock in the evening, I will send someone to inform you what to do next."
After Cao Bin finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but after walking dozens of steps, he turned around and said to Carl Stockton: "Arrang to take me back in a police car!"
Cao Bin went to the police station early in the morning, then transferred to the police car and came to the abandoned mine. It was far from Anliangtang. If there was no car, I would have missed how much time I would have wasted when I walked back. Cao Bin and Carl should not have forgotten this detail, but Cao Bin took dozens of steps before he remembered it. Carl Stockton did not realize until Cao Bin mentioned it, which was enough to show how chaotic the two of them were.
This is indeed the case.
When Cao Bin realized that the opium stored here was only one-tenth of the total amount, his whole mind was already confused. Geng Han's risk was easy to explain. After all, only one-tenth of the goods were stored here, and even if it was really damaged, it would not be too regretful. But why was Bill Lane deceived by Geng Han because of this one-tenth of the goods?
As the boss, Bill Ryan could not have no grasp of Geng Han's affairs at all. Therefore, Cao Bin inferred that Bill Ryan should have discovered the location of the hidden goods in a good morning. When he was investigating the goods, he should have found that this was not the whole of the goods. So, according to normal logic, Bill Ryan should concentrate on finding the remaining nine-tenths, so why would he be obsessed with this tenth?
This question seems not very important, but it actually determines where Bill Lane is. If the nine out of ten does not exist at all, and the so-called two thousand tons of opium is just a lie created by Geng Han, then what Bill Lane must do now is to try every means to escape from Kingsoft. On the contrary, if the nine out of ten really exists, Bill Lane will definitely stay in Kingsoft.
Cao Bin, whose mind was full of mud, sat in the car, the more he thought about it, the more he became confused. He could only hope for interrogation of Geng Han.
However, when he rushed back to Anliangtang, Geng Han had become a corpse.
Cao Bin, who had always been calm, couldn't help but start anger: "Are you all eating a good meal? How can you let him die?"
The brothers in the hall looked at each other, and one of the leading brothers replied, "Brother Bin, I'm sorry, brothers didn't expect that he would bite his tongue and commit suicide."
Cao Bin was stunned.
There are many ways to commit suicide, jumping into a river, jumping into a cliff, slashing your neck, sting your heart, etc., etc. are not too difficult to do. Only this biting of your tongue is not something that ordinary people can do.
The only hope was shattered, and Cao Bin had to lock himself in the study.
Luo Lie and Dong Biao were furious and ran for more than ten miles with their legs. Until Dong Biao was exhausted and panting, he could no longer hold on. The two of them realized that the train station was still far away, and measuring with their legs was definitely not a solution. So the two discussed, one stopped the car on the side of the road and continued to run towards the train station to block Bill Lane. The other changed direction and went back to the entrance of the hall first, took the brothers to drive on the train, and surrounded the railway station. Luo Lie was eager to take revenge and insisted on arriving at the railway station first. Dong Biao had no choice but to turn back to the entrance of the hall.
After Dong Biao called his brother and drove out the car, the window of Cao Bin's study on the second floor quietly opened. "Stop, Bill Ryan will not be stupid."
Cao Bin said: "Call Luo Lie back, Bill Lane will not leave Kingsoft for the time being, and staying at the railway station is just in vain."
Dong Biao said in surprise: "Brother Bin, what are you talking about? All the goods fell into the hands of the police, and Bill Ryan just ran away alone. Why would he stay in Kingsoft? Perhaps, he wouldn't choose to escape by train, but I think he will..."
Cao Bin interrupted Dong Biao's question and said, "A Biao, we have made a low-level mistake."
Dong Biao looked up at Cao Bin with a look of confusion, and couldn't help but snatch: "Low-level error? What's wrong?"
Cao Bin said: "When you and Luo Lie got on that cargo ship, how much cargo did you see? Think about how many you saw in the alley?"
Dong Biao blinked and replied, "It's a lot! Didn't Luo Lie say that, he probably would have to have at least a thousand tons or even two thousand tons of goods. Later, Wu Houdun's confession proved that it was two thousand tons of goods. Brother Bin, is there any problem?"
Cao Bin sighed lightly: "Then let me ask you, how many wooden boxes are there in the alley?"
Dong Biao replied: "At least there must be more than one thousand!"
Cao Bin said again: "How much does a wooden box weigh?"
Dong Biao thought for a while and said, "I didn't try it, and I couldn't try it. However, Fang Laosan said that a wooden box must weigh at least 200 kilograms."
Cao Bin smiled bitterly and said, "Then do it, can these goods be two thousand tons?"
Dong Biao calculated for a while, but looked up and asked, "Brother Bin, how many pounds is a ton?"
Cao Bin lamented and said, "I'd better say it straight. Whether it's Fang Laosan's description or what you see in the lane, it shows that the goods we found are far less than two thousand tons. I calculated that the goods hidden in the lane are at most two hundred tons, which is one tenth of the total amount of goods we know. In other words, there are nine out of ten, as many as one thousand eight hundred tons of goods still not found. Bill Lane has investigated the goods in the lane, and he must know that it's strange, so I infer that Bill Lane will never leave Kingsoft for the remaining 1,800 tons of goods."
Dong Biao was shocked and stood downstairs, raising his face, half open his mouth, and motionless.
Cao Bin sighed again and continued, "This matter is far from over and over. There are many doubts in it. I can't figure it out. I hurried back just to get the answer from Geng Han's mouth, but what did he think that he actually bit his tongue and committed suicide!"
Dong Biao finally had a little reaction, but this reaction made him look even more dull: "Geng Han bit his tongue and committed suicide? How could he get out of his mouth?"
Cao Bin said again: "Listen to Brother Bin, let's arrange for a few brothers to replace Luo Lie. The three of us have to take some time to re-examine this matter, otherwise we will always stay in the clouds and will only be able to see Bill Lane's words."
Dong Biao nodded stupidly.
Luo Lie rushed to the train station and patrolled everywhere without having time to take a breath. Of course, he found nothing. Although Luo Lie was eager, he did not lose his mind because of this. He knew very well that if he could not block Bill Lane at the train station at this moment, it would only mean that the old guy did not intend to escape by the train. He lost the initiative on his side and wanted to block Bill Lane, it would probably be a luxury. Therefore, when the brothers in the hall came to replace him, Luo Lie did not express much opinion, obediently handed over to the brothers in the hall and drove back to the hall.
When he saw Cao Bin, he immediately realized this low-level mistake, and a series of questions appeared in Luo Lie's mind. Like Cao Bin, his thinking was in chaos and he couldn't figure it out at all. "Brother Bin, there is only one way to interrogate Geng Han. As long as he can pry his mouth open, these questions will be solved."
Before Cao Bin could speak, Dong Biao shouted first: "This dog bit his tongue and committed suicide!"
Luo Lie was also shocked, and after a little stunned, he couldn't help but sigh: "This man once controlled the internal machine bureau, and he could be considered a hero at least. How could he use this dirty way to end his life?"
Cao Bin was stunned and murmured: "Yes, why did I ignore this? Could it be that Geng Han has something else?" Cao Bin took out the cigar, held it in his mouth, and suddenly took it down again, glanced at Dong Biao, and ordered: "A Biao, send a brother to take Daxin over."
Dong Biao said: "Do you suspect that Daxin told a lie?"
Cao Bin glared at his eyes and shouted: "I suspect there is something wrong with that Geng Han!"
Dong Biao curled his lips and went there quickly.
Cao Bin said to Luo Lie again: "Let's go and see Geng Han's body, and you can't tell what you can find."
The brothers at the entrance of the hall did not respect Geng Han much, so they threw his body in a utility room, found a piece of rag and covered it on the body, and then hung a lock on the door to finish it. Cao Bin, who had recovered his calmness, did not care about these details. When the brothers at the entrance of the hall uncovered the rag on Geng Han's body, Cao Bin saw the clues at a glance: "He was not dead because of biting his tongue."
Luo Lie was very surprised and asked, "Brother Bin, how did you see it?"
The brother in the hall said, "Brother Bin, we clearly see him spitting out a piece of his tongue!"
Cao Bin said: "If you don't see him spitting out a piece of his tongue and conclude that he committed suicide by biting his tongue, then you are stupid! However, when you bite your tongue, you must be proactive and passive. You will bite your tongue. One is that the pain is unbearable, and the other is that a large amount of blood will gush out of your mouth. This person will inevitably choke and cough. Therefore, most people who bite your tongue will die because of dry blood, but will suffocate themselves by blood clots during the choking cough. This way of death is very painful, and often dies with a look of extreme pain or regret."
Luo Lie couldn't help but check Geng Han's eyes. Although he was still dying, Geng Han's expression was very strange. He couldn't tell how much pain he had before his death. Instead, he felt that his expression seemed to be a little excited and satisfied.
Cao Bin continued: "Looking at his appearance, he might have been poisoned before biting his tongue. This poison lost his consciousness and made him bite off his tongue in a trance. Because of the toxicity, he could not feel the pain of breaking his tongue. Therefore, he did not look painful when he was dying."
The brother in the hall said, "That's right, Brother Bin, this Geng Han suddenly became crazy before spitting out the cut off his tongue."
Cao Bin nodded and replied, "That's right, madness is a manifestation of toxic attacks."
Luo Lie couldn't help asking, "Brother Bin, what poison can be so weird?"
Cao Bin shook his head and sighed, "I don't know... In the past twenty years, your brother Biao and I have basically never had any contact with the Qing Dynasty. Some of the things we know are heard from him. If your master is still alive, he will definitely tell you the real answer. Although I have learned a lot of stories about the Qing Dynasty from Brother Old Ghost, there are still fewer ones."
Luo Lie suspected: "What kind of poison can be put aside for the time being. The key question is, who gave him the poison?"
The brother in the hall continued, "It should be him. When the car arrived at the hall, we dragged him out of the car, and he bowed his head and bit off a button on his chest. I think that the poison must be hidden among the buttons."
Cao Bin said: "It's not important, what's important is..." Before Cao Bin finished speaking, he could hear Dong Biao's shouting outside.
Luo Lie responded first, then went out and brought Dong Biao and Zhao Daxin in.
Obviously, when he was on the road, Dong Biao had already informed Zhao Daxin of the situation. Therefore, as soon as Zhao Daxin entered the house, he came to Geng Han's body, looked at it carefully for a moment, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "It looks so much like it, but he is not Geng Han!"
Dong Biao Luo Lie was inevitably shocked, but Cao Bin nodded calmly.
"It's really Geng Han has a pair of wind-catching ears, and this person's ears are not windy at all." Zhao Daxin explained, stretched out his hand and rubbed the base of the cheeks of the corpse a few times, and said: "He should have worn a human skin mask, take a basin of water, soaked it with water to remove this human skin mask."
Hearing this, the brother in the hall turned around and went out. After a while, he brought a basin of clear water back. Zhao Daxin poured all the water on the face of the corpse, and then rubbed it again. Sure enough, he found the bonding part between the human skin mask and the real skin.
After taking off the human skin mask and looking at it, the difference between the body's appearance and Geng Han himself was undoubtedly revealed.
"It's indeed a substitute!" Cao Bin couldn't help but sigh.
