93: Time means success or failure!

Su Yue always had a feeling.

This Wang Lin is hiding many secrets.

He didn't just collect information on Wang Lin through his Intelligence Outpost; over the past few days, he also used online channels and other means to learn a lot about Wang Lin.

It's no exaggeration to say that Wang Lin is a textbook eligible bachelor.

In his early thirties, he is at a man's golden age. He still retains the vigor and vitality of a young man, yet has the maturity and stability that comes with age.

Although due to the genetic issues of Lao Wang's family, Wang Lin is not a so-called handsome flower boy. But the aristocratic temperament cultivated by his privileged life, and the powerful confidence that can be felt even through a photo, are enough to make any handsome celebrity in the entertainment industry pale in comparison before him.

Moreover, Wang Jian also put a lot of effort into cultivating this son of his, not showing favoritism just because he was the second son. He also served as a high-level executive at Kelly Investment, specifically as an Investment Manager, a crucial role overseeing funds.

A man like this would not lack for women around him.

However, Wang Lin is not married, and doesn't even have a girlfriend.

This is very abnormal.

Su Yue had always believed that desire is like eating. You might not be able to eat due to objective conditions, but if it's placed in front of you and you don't eat, there are only two possibilities.

One, you're sick.

The other, there's some other hidden reason.

And coincidentally, many illnesses in this world are hereditary. For example, diabetes is a genetically inherited disease. Similarly, without paying attention to diet or exercising regularly, people with a family history of diabetes have a much higher probability of contracting the disease than those without genetic factors.

Moreover, this hereditary illness can be gender-specific, due to the difference in male and female chromosomes. The male sex chromosomes are XY, while female are XX.

This means that if a certain disease is inherited through the Y chromosome, then only males will contract it, which is called male-limited inheritance. Examples include hypertrichosis of the auricle, porcupine disease, and webbed feet.

Conversely, if a certain disease is linked to the X chromosome, the probability of women contracting it will greatly increase. For example, both men and women have mammary glands, but female breast cancer accounts for ninety-nine percent of all patients, while males account for only one percent.

Su Yue believed that the Intelligence Outpost providing this information was definitely not baseless, as the mechanism of the Intelligence Outpost is to automatically identify abnormal suspicious points. It might not be the key to solving certain problems, but it is definitely very valuable information.

Su Yue didn't think Wang Lin would be so tragically unable to perform. After all, his Big Brother, Wang Hai, married and had children normally. And there was no news of Wang Lin encountering some unforgettable accident; unless he simply didn't seek medical treatment, it would definitely have caused a stir.

That leaves only one option: there's another hidden reason.

And this hidden reason is very likely related to that woman!

Even just looking at her back, Su Yue could confirm that she was a very charming woman; even without seeing her face, just looking at her figure and that touch of lazy grace was enough to make one's heart flutter.

If Wang Lin really had some connection with this woman, Su Yue wouldn't be surprised.

Su Yue didn't know what exactly that woman had to do with the smuggling case, but sending that picture to Lan Zijun was a form of probing in itself.

And the result of the probing was very clear: Lan Zijun's best friend, the female police officer named Liang Yuzhu, reacted so quickly and even actively wanted to trade information with him, which explained everything.

This woman is likely a core figure in the smuggling group!

If that's the case, then everything makes sense. Only the huge profits of the smuggling group would make the other party risk paying a huge price to target a beauty like Lin Jia, who has extensive social connections, great reputation, and broad network in the circle.

Of course, since they could target Lin Jia, it's also normal for them to casually crush a small ant like himself.

The reason Wang Lin is hiding, acting so mysterious, to the point where even the Intelligence Outpost could only get a screenshot from surveillance footage, is very likely to conceal the identity of this woman.

This is a very reasonable guess; the only thing left to do now is find a way to confirm it.

...

A day quickly passed, and it was time to get off work again, but Liang Yuzhu didn't leave; instead, she sat in the office.

The attendees were still the same people as last time, only Deputy Bureau Chief Li was missing.

Deputy Bureau Chief Li is currently at the hospital, personally guarding Qing Niao. There's no other way; Qing Niao's identity has been exposed. And although the news of Qing Niao being rescued from the sea by fishermen didn't appear in news reports due to the Municipal Bureau's suppression, this strange news about a wounded beauty being pulled from the sea has spread like wildfire among the fishermen.

This cannot be blamed on that fisherman; he had no idea of the sensitivity of Qing Niao's identity. He simply called the maritime police department through the emergency channel the moment he rescued Qing Niao, and this channel is public.

Given the smuggling group's capabilities, if they learn that Qing Niao is still alive and want to eliminate the root cause, they will definitely be able to find Qing Niao's whereabouts.

And they are very likely to do so, as the criminals' attempt to burn Qing Niao to death has already proven that they suspect Qing Niao obtained some key evidence.

Under these circumstances, the Municipal Bureau could only send a high-ranking official of Deputy Bureau Chief level to temporarily oversee the hospital. Once Qing Niao's condition stabilizes, she will be transferred to a more secretive location like a military hospital. It is expected that no matter how rampant the criminals are, they would not have the audacity to commit murder under the nose of a Municipal Bureau Deputy Bureau Chief.

"First, I'll update everyone on the news. The Fisheries Administration has announced that the offshore areas of our city will enter the routine fishing moratorium starting from the 1st of next month."

Director Zhang was the first to speak again, his voice a little hoarse and his eyes red, clearly indicating he hadn't slept much last night.

"And the Import and Export Management Department has also issued a notice that the shipping off-season is approaching, and the annual port maintenance period is about to begin."

He scanned everyone: "Everyone should understand what these two pieces of news mean. We don't have much time."

"Lao Liang," Director Zhang briefly explained the situation and turned to look at Director Liang of the Anti-Smuggling Department, "Do you have any updates from your side?"

"Our colleagues worked through the night last night, urgently reviewing the relevant documents of Chuangtong Logistics." Director Liang's face was also a bit haggard, clearly indicating that the people he mentioned who worked through the night included himself.

"Due to time constraints, we haven't found anything suspicious yet. But at least we can confirm that Chuangtong Logistics does have intricate connections with Sihai Shipping."

"We can even determine that they are very likely the upstream and downstream links in the smuggling chain!"

"Chuangtong Company is a logistics company, its business scope includes various express deliveries, consignments, and even fresh food distribution. It has established warehouses in most cities across the country, and its transportation channels extend in all directions. These things are numerous and complex, making it difficult for relevant departments to inspect everything in detail."

"This means that it can easily take the goods smuggled into the country by Sihai Shipping, break them down, falsify their origin, change packaging, etc., and distribute them to various places across the country."

He added.

Director Zhang nodded slightly; everyone had already guessed this when they identified that woman. The Anti-Smuggling Department was just confirming it.

"Section Chief Xie, what about you?" He looked at Section Chief Xie from the Commercial Section.

"We didn't find anything," Section Chief Xie said with a bitter smile.

This is also very normal. The Commercial Section primarily investigates commercial crimes, and their main scope of investigation is various commercial frauds, financial capital regulation, loss of state-owned assets, and other cases. The reason they were brought in to participate in this case is simply because they are most familiar with these companies, and investigating them is legitimate and won't alert the enemy.

As for not having results in a short time, this is also normal. After all, everyone doesn't even have a direction right now.

Director Zhang looked at Liang Yuzhu: "Captain Liang, what about you?"

"You said yesterday you were going to ask your friend for new information. How is it? Do you have any results?" he asked hopefully.

Not just Director Zhang, but everyone including Director Li and others had their eyes on Liang Yuzhu.

And Liang Yuzhu felt immense pressure.

Fishing boats and sea transportation are the primary channels for smuggling. Smuggling criminals take advantage of the peak season for fishing boats and sea transportation, when there are too many boats going out to sea and the official workload greatly increases, to conduct smuggling.

And both actually have peak and off-seasons. Every year around May to August, our country implements a fishing moratorium policy in the eastern sea areas. And starting from July, the main destinations for sea transportation, European and American countries, also begin their regular summer vacation period.

It takes about two months for an ocean-going cargo ship to reach European and American countries from the mainland. As the destination enters the off-season in July, the mainland shipping industry, as the sender, actually starts reducing the number of cargo ships dispatched abroad from mid-May.

And without the cover of a large number of normal vessels, smuggling criminal groups will also lie low during this period, or use land routes, waiting until the sea opens at the end of the year to resume large-scale sea smuggling.

Moreover, driven by profit, they are likely to engage in frantic smuggling activities before the sea closure, striving to stockpile more smuggled goods so that they can still sell them during the approximately five months when smuggling channels are not smooth.

And such high-intensity, high-frequency smuggling behavior naturally provides Police with more opportunities to catch them red-handed, and can even be said to be the best opportunity. The crackdown on many major smuggling cases is chosen at this time.

This is a very critical moment. If the smuggling channels can be dismantled at this time, it will severely hit those smuggling criminal groups. Even if they want to build new channels, it will take at least two years to re-establish them.

And if this opportunity is missed, it means waiting another year.

Moreover, many things will change after a year. The criminals' methods will evolve. They have clearly sensed that Police are watching them this time and will definitely adjust their methods based on Police's actions to make their methods more covert.

After all, they have a full year.

Looking at the situation, it seems that I can only agree to Yuan's request?
