Chapter 56: Cleaning Up Loose Ends
Two nights later, Chen Mo went to Gao Jin's house again.
"We've found out who planned the heist."
Chen Mo handed Tian Yang Sheng the information on the three men that Fei Ji had uncovered over the past two days.
The others immediately crowded around to take a look.
"Zhang Wenyao, Senior Superintendent of the Central Police Station, should be the main planner of the heist. He was the one who leaked the armored car's route to you."
"Mo Weichen, Senior Inspector, Zhang Wenyao's subordinate, and also one of the conspirators.
He Yongqiang, the driver of the armored car this time. He was responsible for making sure the car didn't deviate from the route.
Also, he's the only survivor at the scene, and he's still in the hospital. He saw your faces."
"Plus Tiger, who traded you the weapons. Only by taking out these four people can you show up openly in Gangdao."
"Alright, we'll make our move tonight."
Tian Yang Sheng nodded.
"No." Chen Mo shook his head.
"Zhang Wenyao is a Senior Superintendent, after all, which is mid-to-high level in the Gangdao police system. We absolutely can't just kill him that simply, or there'll be big trouble."
"Then what do we do?" Tian Yang Sheng frowned.
Having always been mercenaries, they were used to directly eliminating targets and never considered the consequences.
"Zhang Wenyao sent his wife and kids to Canada a week ago."
Go to his house tonight, grab him, take all his ID, passport, and the cash in the house, plus a few changes of clothes, and make it look like Zhang Wenyao left Gangdao in a hurry.
Chen Mo arranged for Gao Jin to go with Tian Yang Sheng and Tian Yang Yi to capture Zhang Wenyao.
Catching Zhang Wenyao was simple, but setting up his house to look like he left on his own required Gao Jin.
Brothers like Tian Yang Sheng, who were born killers, couldn't handle such delicate work.
Chen Mo took the rest of the group to the seaside early to wait for them.
Two hours later, Gao Jin and the others arrived.
They also brought Zhang Wenyao, who had already been knocked unconscious.
Tian Yang Sheng untied the black cloth covering Zhang Wenyao's eyes, found a bucket of water, and splashed him awake.
Coming to his senses, Zhang Wenyao saw Tian Yang Sheng and his siblings standing around him and immediately fell to his knees begging for mercy.
"Don't kill me, please don't kill me! It was my fault! I'll give the money back to you!"
Tian Yang Sheng kicked Zhang Wenyao in the chest, sending him flying several meters.
"Inspector Zhang, we waited for you at Tai O Pier like you said, and the cops showed up that very night.
If we hadn't been lucky, we might have died there."
Zhang Wenyao struggled to his feet: "I didn't want this either! I only told you to rob the place, I didn't tell you to kill the cops!"
You killed so many cops, I couldn't fix that! What did you expect me to do? You forced my hand!"
Looking around at the circle of people, Zhang Wenyao didn't even notice Chen Mo and Gao Jin, and kept begging Tian Yang Sheng: "Anyway, no one got hurt. Spare me, and I'll split the money! We're all after cash, no need for a fight to the death, right? Huh? Right?"
"Where's the money?" Tian Yang Sheng said coldly.
"In the police station parking lot, in my old car. You can't get in there; only I can get it out. Spare me! If I die, you won't get the money either!"
Tian Yang Sheng and the others all frowned.
The money was in the police station—that was tough.
A hundred million in US dollars weighed over a ton. Even if they sneaked into the station, they couldn't carry it out.
Driving into the police station was unthinkable.
Unless they gave up any hope of a peaceful life afterward and stormed the station to grab it by force.
Chen Mo walked over to Tian Yang Sheng and said quietly, "Interrogate him thoroughly. Find out who else knows your identities! Forget the money for now; we'll think of another way."
After speaking, Chen Mo stepped aside, leaving the interrogation to Tian Yang Sheng and the others.
When it came to interrogation, Tian Yang Sheng and his crew were even more professional than Gao Jin.
Before long, Zhang Wenyao confessed everything.
It matched the investigation results Chen Mo had given—Mo Weichen also knew the identities of Tian Yang Sheng and the others.
He Yongqiang only knew that Zhang Wenyao had planned the heist, but he didn't know who Tian Yang Sheng and the others were.
Still, he had seen their faces, so he definitely couldn't be left alive.
Chen Mo asked, "Where are his service pistol and the keys to the getaway car?"
"Right here!" Gao Jin pulled out a key and a gun, handing them to Chen Mo. "Found them on him when we grabbed him."
Chen Mo took the key from Gao Jin's hand but didn't take the gun: "I'll take the key and see if there's a chance to get the money out.
You go take out Mo Weichen and He Yongqiang, and use Zhang Wenyao's gun.
Also, remember to ditch the gun after you're done and don't leave any traces."
"Got it, Mo Ge!" Tian Yang Sheng and Gao Jin nodded.
After giving his instructions, Chen Mo drove off first, heading toward the Central Police Station.
Even though Zhang Wenyao had already given a portion of the money in the armored car to He Yongqiang and Mo Weichen, there was still plenty left.
Mo Weichen and He Yongqiang probably didn't get much; there was at least several tens of millions left in the car, which still weighed several hundred kilograms.
Sneaking several hundred kilograms of cash out of the police station without anyone noticing would be nearly impossible for anyone else.
But Chen Mo wasn't without a way.
In this day and age, CCTV was still expensive equipment, and even the police station wasn't fully covered.
At most, it covered the station's entrances and exits, the armory, the lobby, and the perimeter of the holding cells.
As for the parking lot, there was no way it had cameras. As long as no one spotted him, there was no danger.
Evading the on-duty police and sneaking in and out of the police station parking lot is not difficult.
As for how to transport that sum of money out, for others it would be impossible, but for Chen Mo, who possesses a three-cubic space, it is not difficult.
Chen Mo drove to the outside of Central Police Station and parked beneath a wall.
Having put on the previously prepared black coat, gloves, and mask, Chen Mo directly climbed over the wall and entered.
Although the police station's wall is high, climbing it is quite easy for Chen Mo's abilities.
By then it was already late at night, and there were hardly any cars in the police station parking lot.
Carefully avoiding the police station duty room and CCTV, Chen Mo easily found Zhang Wenyao's old car in the parking lot and opened its trunk with a key.
The trunk contained four large suitcases, all packed full.
Chen Mo opened one and saw that it was filled with brand-new hundred-dollar bills.
The US dollars in the four suitcases added up to about eighty million, Chen Mo estimated.
After putting all four suitcases into his space, Chen Mo thought for a moment, then took one out again, removed a few bills from it, and stuffed them into several gaps in the car.
He had to leave enough clues for the police so they could discover that the mastermind behind the robbery of the cash-in-transit vehicle was Zhang Wenyao.
However, putting too many would be too obvious; a few bills tucked into the gaps were just right, making it look like they had been inadvertently left behind.
Having done all that, Chen Mo quietly left the police station along the route he had come and returned to the car.
Everything was done without anyone noticing.
