Chapter 671 Breakthrough in Clues
Ye Haoxuan found a secluded spot, took out the medicine that the system had previously rewarded him with from his personal space, and after taking it, he was instantly fully restored to health.
He no longer has to suffer from pain.
"Inspector Ye, how is your injury?" his subordinate asked with concern.
"It's nothing, it's all better now," Ye Haoxuan said calmly. "Let's go back."
Back at the police station, Ye Haoxuan walked alone towards the interrogation room, each step firm and resolute.
At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind—to find out the progress of the interrogation and technical decryption as soon as possible, to find Miyamoto Musashi's hiding place, and to completely destroy the Black Blade Group's smuggling network.
The police station corridor was very quiet, with only the sound of officers hurrying by.
Ye Haoxuan walked briskly along the corridor. When he passed the technical department office, he stopped and hesitated for a moment before deciding to go there first to check on the progress of cracking the encrypted phone and USB drive. These two items might contain key clues about Miyamoto Musashi, and if they could be cracked as soon as possible, it would speed up the investigation.
He pushed open the door and walked into the technical department office.
Inside the office, several officers from the technical department were sitting in front of their computers, intently working, their fingers rapidly tapping on the keyboards. The screens displayed complex code and hacking interfaces, creating a tense atmosphere.
A police officer from the technical department saw Ye Haoxuan walk in and immediately hurried forward to greet him respectfully, saying:
"Inspector Ye, you're here! Is your arm alright? We heard you had a fierce battle with the hitmen in Mong Kok, and we were all very worried about you."
"I'm fine, just a minor injury, nothing serious." Ye Haoxuan waved his hand, then asked anxiously, "How are things? How's the cracking of the encrypted phone and USB drive going? Have you found any useful clues?"
When the hacking was mentioned, a relieved smile appeared on the face of the technical officer, who quickly said:
"Inspector Ye, rest assured, we have been working overtime to crack the code and have made a breakthrough. The USB drive has been successfully cracked. It contains some important documents, which are the Black Blade Group's smuggling records, as well as the addresses of some secret bases. However, most of them are in Japan and Southeast Asia. The bases in Hong Kong are the two we have already destroyed in Tsim Sha Tsui and Mong Kok."
Ye Haoxuan's eyes lit up, and his tone carried a hint of barely perceptible excitement:
"Very good! What about the encrypted phone? How's the cracking going? Is there any clue about Miyamoto Musashi on the phone, such as his hiding place, contact information, or details of his dealings with Southeast Asian smugglers?"
“Cracking an encrypted phone is much more difficult than cracking a USB drive,” the technical officer’s tone became serious again. “However, we have already cracked part of it. We can currently view some of the call and text message records on the phone. Most of the call records are encrypted, and we are still working on cracking them. But in the text message records, there are several important messages sent by Miyamoto Musashi to the assassin, instructing him to hold the base in Mong Kok and, if the base is attacked, immediately take the contact list to a secret pier on Hong Kong Island, take a speedboat, and escape to Southeast Asia.”
"A secret dock?" Ye Haoxuan's eyes sharpened instantly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Which dock exactly? Did the text message specify the location of the dock? Also, we've found the contact list. Miyamoto Musashi doesn't know about this, right?"
"The text message didn't specify the exact location of the pier, only mentioning 'the hidden pier in Sai Wan,'" the technical officer quickly said. "Furthermore, Miyamoto Musashi didn't know we had found the contact list. He thought it was still at our base in Mong Kok, which is why he sent the assassin with it to Southeast Asia. The message also mentioned that Miyamoto Musashi would go to the hidden pier in Sai Wan tomorrow morning to meet the assassin, and then they would escape to Southeast Asia together to evade our pursuit."
"Great! This is an important clue!" A surge of joy welled up in Ye Haoxuan's heart, and his tense nerves finally relaxed a little. "The hidden dock in Xihuan, no matter how hidden it is, we must find it! Tomorrow morning, Miyamoto Musashi will go there to meet the assassin. This is a perfect opportunity for us to capture Miyamoto Musashi, and we must not miss it!"
He paused, then gave the order in a deep voice:
"Continue to expedite the cracking of the encrypted phone, and try to decipher all call and text message records as soon as possible. See if you can find the exact location of the hidden dock in Sai Wan, as well as other relevant clues about Miyamoto Musashi. Also, compile all the smuggling records and secret hideout addresses on the USB drive and immediately send them to the interrogation room to Sandy. Have her carefully compare them with the interrogation statements of Sato Ichiro and the assassin to see if she can dig out more useful information."
"Understood! Inspector Ye! We will do our best to complete the cracking and sorting work as soon as possible, and will not delay your investigation!" The technical officer immediately replied, turned around and quickly returned to the computer to continue working, his expression even more focused than before.
Ye Haoxuan nodded, then turned and walked quickly out of the technical department office toward the interrogation room.
Now, with the breakthrough achieved through the encrypted phone and USB drive, clues to Miyamoto Musashi's escape plan and the secret dock in Sai Wan have been found. He must rush to the interrogation room immediately to meet with Sandy, understand the progress of the interrogation, and, based on these clues, plan the arrest operation for tomorrow morning. He must successfully capture Miyamoto Musashi.
Soon, Ye Haoxuan arrived at the door of the interrogation room.
The interrogation room light was still on. Through the small window in the door, he could see Sandy sitting at the interrogation table, seriously questioning the escaped killer, while Sato Ichiro was being held in a temporary detention cell next door, guarded by two police officers, his head down and looking dejected.
Ye Haoxuan pushed open the door and walked into the interrogation room.
When Sandy saw Ye Haoxuan walk in, she immediately stopped the interrogation, quickly went to greet him, her eyes filled with worry, and said urgently:
"Haoxuan, you're finally back! How's your arm?"
Ye Haoxuan smiled and softened his tone: "I'm fine, just a minor injury, it's all healed now, it's nothing serious."
He paused, his tone becoming urgent, and pulled Sandy to a corner of the interrogation room, whispering:
"Sandy, the technical department has made a major breakthrough. The USB drive has been cracked, containing the Black Blade Group's smuggling records and addresses of some secret outposts; the encrypted phone has also been partially cracked, and several text messages that Miyamoto Musashi sent to this assassin have been found."
