Chapter 56 Family Banquet
.Li Xiaoming did not overestimate Mo Huncong. In just over ten hours, he found a very important clue.
About two months before the incident, as summer approached, Shangri-La Hotel carried out comprehensive maintenance of central air conditioning and air conditioning pipes.
Mo Huicong immediately asked someone to investigate the company responsible for the maintenance work.
When the Secret Service found this company specializing in air conditioning maintenance, Mo Huicong gained even more significant gains: about a month before the incident, the maintenance manager of Shangri-La Hotel resigned voluntarily on the grounds that he found a higher-paid job in Kaohsiung.
There are plenty of reasons, but this is a coincidence.
Mo Huicong did not let this clue go and immediately sent someone to investigate this guy named Wei Taixian.
A new gain was soon made. Wei Taixian did find a job in Kaohsiung and was also the manager of the hotel maintenance department, but his salary was much higher. He left Kaohsiung just a week before the incident.
More importantly, Wei Taixian went to study in the United States at the age of 18 and studied power engineering at a state university. After graduation, he entered Ge and became a power engineer. Later, he married a Chinese American. Six years ago, he divorced his wife, then quit his job with an annual salary of up to $280,000, and returned to Taiwan alone. He became a hotel maintenance manager with an annual salary of less than NT$800,000.
This guy either treats money like dirt or is too saddened by emotions.
But Mo Huicong felt that neither of these two reasons was valid. In his eyes, Wei Taixian was a spy. Before leaving the United States, he was bribed by American intelligence agencies even before graduating from college. He worked in the United States and then divorced and resigned, all for his return to Taiwan to cover up.
At this time, the agents sent to investigate the air conditioning maintenance company have confirmed that there is no problem with the company.
Mo Huicong immediately named Wei Taixian as the number one suspect and sent all his agents out.
The search work is not easy, but it is certain that as long as Wei Taixian did not board the smuggling boat, he was still in Taiwan because the customs did not have his exit record.
Mo Huicong could only let his subordinates keep an eye on where Wei Taixian might go, such as his hometown in Hsinchu County and several friends who were not very close to each other.
The police station has released news that the murderer who assassinated Song Yingjie was shot dead on the spot.
In the morning, Song Yingjie's wife was determined to be in death.
But at this time, Mo Huicong was doubting his previous judgment.
There are enough reasons to believe that Wei Taixian is a spy, and it is very likely that he was a spy developed by Cia. If Cia wants to get rid of Liu Junshi, Mo Huicong would not find it strange, because many policies implemented during Liu Junshi's administration, especially the policy of improving relations with the mainland, caused the United States to be very hurt. However, it was Song Yingjie who was shot, not Liu Junshi, and Cia had no reason to point the gun at Song Yingjie.
What really made Mo Huicong shaken was another clue.
After cross-comparing with the "missed persons" of Interpol, the identities of the two Belgians have been verified. They are not Belgians, but British, both served in the British special aircrew brigade for several years, performed missions in Afghanistan, and disappeared in an attack last year.
Why do they use fake identities?
There is only one reasonable explanation: they are mercenaries and do shameful things.
This clue made Mo Huicong very puzzled, because it was enough to prove that the two guys were indeed the murderers, and they had the ability to kill Song Yingjie 1,800 meters away.
More importantly, the passports they use are all real!
At least from a legal point of view, their passports have no problems.
Those guys selling fake documents on the street will definitely not be able to ship real passports. Only intelligence agencies and powerful intelligence agencies can produce real passports.
What made Mo Huicong suspicious was that those two guys not only used real passports, but also their personal files were real.
That is, the intelligence agencies that hired them provided them with two identities that could stand verification, only ignoring the list of missing persons handed over to Interpol by British authorities last year.
Perhaps, they did not disappear at all, but joined the intelligence organization.
The first thing Mo Huicong thought of was not CIA, but the British Mi5, namely the MI5, and the largest foreign military intelligence agency in the UK.
"007" that was popular all over the world is the spy of this institution.
There is no difference between this. Mi5 and Cia have a very close relationship and have worked together for decades. If Cia doesn't want to get into trouble, she will ask Mi5 for help.
If we ignore the more conclusive evidence, Mo Huicong would definitely believe that it was the two special air brigade snipers who killed Song Yingjie, and the one who assisted them was Wei Taixian who served Cia.
However, Mo Huicong is a policeman and will not deceive himself.
The complicated clues forced him to believe that this assassination was definitely not as simple as he had guessed, and there must be a shocking conspiracy behind it.
If you can't find the person who killed the two special forces, you have to find Wei Taixian.
Only by finding him can you get new clues.
After clarifying the clues, Mo Huicong decided to talk to Liu Junshi.
He did not want to gain more support, but realized that it was not Song Yingjie who was targeted by the assassin. It was necessary to remind Liu Junshi to make the "President" more vigilant.
As the head of the Operations Section of the Secret Service, Mo Huicong did not have to report or make an appointment when he went to the "Presidential Palace".
When he came to the "Presidential Palace", Liu Junshi was inviting Sheng Shiping, who had come from afar. Because Liu Junshi greeted his secretary and did not let anyone go in and disturb him, Mo Huicong could only stay outside honestly and wait for the VIP to leave before going to find Liu Junshi.
Mo Huicong is a person who can't sit still, and his purpose of looking for Liu Junshi was to make the "president" more vigilant, so he took this opportunity to go around the "Presidential Palace" and urged the agents on duty to strengthen their vigilance. He also went to the surveillance center in the basement to understand the situation.
What surprised Mo Huncong a little was that the closed circuit monitoring system in the restaurant was turned off.
"What's going on?" Mo Huicong pointed to the indicator on the control panel with a red light.
"What the Secretary of the 'President' asked us to close, saying it means 'President'."
"Don't you know, does this violate the security rules?"
The agent on duty sighed and said, "We are just on duty. The 'President' asks to turn off the monitor. What can we do?"
"At least you have to ask the 'president' directly instead of following the secretary's instructions."
"Do you want to call the 'President'?" The agent looked at the phone hanging next to him.
They belong to the Information Monitoring Section of the Secret Service, while Mo Huncong belongs to the Operations Section. They are not Mo Huncong's subordinates, so they don't give Mo Huncong a lot of face.
Mo Huicong sighed, there was nothing he could do with these two guys.
At this time, in the restaurant, Liu Jun was really asking Sheng Shiping and Li Xiaoming to taste his wife's cooking skills.
Because Liu Junshi's wife often goes to orphanages, nursing homes, disability welfare homes and other places to participate in charity activities, and often cooks for orphans, elderly people and disabled people by themselves, it is not a secret that "President's wife" has a good cooking skills. When Liu Junshi enters important guests, if he needs to bring the relationship closer and get the highest level of reception, he will let the wife cook and cook a few specialties.
Sheng Shiping obviously has this qualification.
As the richest Chinese in the world, Sheng Shiping not only has many businesses in the mainland, but also has business dealings with almost all large Taiwanese companies, and is even a major shareholder of more than a dozen Taiwanese companies. Although no one knows how many Taiwanese companies he has, Liu Junshi knows very well that as long as he is willing, millions of Taiwanese people can be unemployed in one day and thousands of Taiwanese investors will lose their money.
Fortunately, Sheng Shiping would never do such stupid things that harm others and do not benefit oneself.
As for Li Xiaoming, who accompanied Sheng Shiping, he probably has no qualifications.
Liu Junshi only knew that Li Xiaoming was a professional manager hired by Sheng Shiping three years ago, and specifically managed the "Huang Huang Ji" in Hong Kong. Although "Huang Huang Ji" has developed very well in recent years, and has become the momentum of surpassing "Changjiang Industrial" and becoming the largest real estate company in Hong Kong, Li Xiaoming is very "low-key". Not only does he rarely appear in the news media, he even doesn't even stay in Hong Kong for many times.
"Humbai Huang Ji" is very famous in Hong Kong, but does not have much foundation in Taiwan.
If it weren't for Sheng Shiping, Li Xiaoming wouldn't even have the chance to enter the "Presidential Palace".
"Mr. Sheng, does this taste good?" Liu Junshi pointed at a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs and said, "This is an authentic Zhejiang flavor specially cooked by the lady for you."
"Mrs. Her skills are indeed good. I haven't eaten such delicious home-cooked dishes for many years." Sheng Shiping smiled and did not point out Liu Junshi's mistakes. Sweet and sour pork ribs are not Zhejiang cuisine, but Shanghai cuisine. Although the taste is similar, they have nothing to do with Sheng Shiping's hometown.
"Sheng is always busy. I am tired of eating delicacies in the mountains and seas. I eat home-cooked dishes occasionally, so it is naturally very refreshing."
"As people get older, nothing they eat is as delicious as they were when they were young." Shengshiping said with a long breath, "I have lived in the mountain for half a year and have realized a lot. Although I have not seen through the world and become a monk, I have been mainly vegetarian in recent years and rarely get involved in meat."
"Then try this plate of cold yellow flowers, it will definitely suit your taste."
Sheng Shiping did not refuse Liu Junshi's kindness, so he picked up a chopstick of yellow flowers. "President" I came here this time, first, to take Xiao Li to see the development of Taiwan, and to conduct field research for "Huang Huang Ji" on Baodao, and second, to reminisce about the old friends and discuss some common topics that everyone is interested in. But I didn't expect that such a thing happened. The President took the time to host a banquet to entertain us, which made me very sad."
"Mr. Sheng is joking. You and I are friends for many years. I am very happy when you come to Taiwan. If you don't come to me, I will be unhappy." Liu Junshi paused for a moment and said, "It's been three years since we last met. When I was young, I felt that three years passed in the blink of an eye. At our age, life has to be counted with our fingers. Three years is not short."
"The 'President' is much younger than me, how can I compare with me?"
"You are born in the Ox and I am born in the Horse, and you are five years older than me. At the end of the year, I am born in the beginning of the year, and according to the false year, you are no more than five years older."
When Li Xiaoming saw two "old guys" who were not old at all, he could not bear it. He could not leave at the dinner table and could only bury his head and eat vegetables.
Having said that, the few home-cooked side dishes made by "Mrs. President" are indeed very good.
