Chapter 3197

After listening to Li Yalin's analysis, Ye Chen asked him, "Detective Li, as an old detective with so many years of criminal investigation experience, do you think the AI's analysis is reliable?"

"Reliable." Li Yalin nodded, "Although it has no direct evidence to prove that this is a dead soldier station of the Anti-Qing Society, it has proven through multiple dimensions that there are too many abnormalities here. Other suspicious targets may only have one or two abnormalities, in which case they can only be considered highly suspicious, but when many situations are abnormal, its suspicion will increase geometrically, especially some key factors."

As he spoke, Li Yalin added, "The AI analyzed Skyline's database. Among all the formal mining enterprises in Morocco, there is no longer any company still mining underground phosphate, not even those stealing or poaching. After all, open-pit mining costs are lower. In all the databases of the past ten-plus years, their underground shafts show no signs of being reactivated. Duke Mining is the only enterprise discovered by the AI that is still quietly doing things in the underground shafts. Relevant evidence shows that they have indeed activated the underground shafts, but they are not mining phosphate. This point alone is extremely difficult to explain."

Ye Chen nodded and said, "The core of capital is profit-seeking. If a thing is unprofitable and even requires high costs, capital will absolutely not do it. This Duke Mining quietly activates huge underground shafts, the activation cost is high but it is not used to create any value. It seems that only the Anti-Qing Society would have such a strong demand for a mine."

Li Yalin said, "The area where Duke Mining is located is in the largest mining area in Morocco. Although this mining area is not near the sea, thanks to the development of the phosphate industry, transportation is very developed."

"The best road in Morocco is the road from here to the port, and there is also a phosphate-exclusive transport railway that goes directly to the port. Each train can load thousands or tens of thousands of tons of phosphate to the port to be loaded onto ships and transported to all parts of the world, and at the same time, it can also bring back a large amount of imported materials."

"Moreover, Morocco's geographical location is perfect for the Anti-Qing Society. It is very close to Southern Europe. Establishing a station here can cover the entire northwestern part of the African continent and the southern part of Europe. If you look at the map, the dead soldier station in Cyprus can just cover the Mediterranean region and the northeastern part of Africa."

As he spoke, Li Yalin opened the map and said to Ye Chen, "We also know now that Nigeria also has a dead soldier station of the Anti-Qing Society. This station in Nigeria can just cover the central part of Africa. The AI used Morocco, Cyprus, and Nigeria as key points to create a heat map. Take a look."

Li Yalin tapped on the keyboard, and three red circles appeared on the original world map. The centers of these three red circles were Morocco, Cyprus, and Nigeria, and the radii of these three circles, converted into actual distance, were about two thousand kilometers.

It can be seen that all three circles can cover a part of Africa, but after the three circles are combined, the southern part of Africa and Madagascar are not covered by any circle.

Li Yalin pointed to the southern part of Africa and said to Ye Chen, "Mr. Ye, according to the AI's calculation, there should be at least one more dead soldier station in the southern part of Africa. The two countries with the highest possibility are South Africa and Mozambique. I am waiting for the AI's next calculation, striving to find all the dead soldier stations in Africa."

Ye Chen nodded slightly. After chatting with Lin Wan'er this time, he no longer had such a strong desire to find dead soldier stations. After all, behind every dead soldier station are thousands of lives. If one is handled improperly, it is unknown how many people will die. However, he did not want to dampen Li Yalin's enthusiasm, because it could be seen that Li Yalin was becoming more and more handy with the use of AI, just like a hunter who had just mastered the skill of precision shooting. He must find more prey to further improve his shooting skills.

But fortunately, Li Yalin was only responsible for finding them, not destroying them, so Ye Chen did not intend to stop his plan.

Thus, Ye Chen asked him, "Detective Li, if I want to bring thousands of people out of this phosphate mining area and transport them to Syria without anyone knowing, do you have any good ideas?"

"This..." Li Yalin said with some worry, "The movement of thousands of people is too big, and this mining area is not along the coast. It is indeed impossible to leave no clues..."

As he spoke, Li Yalin added, "In my opinion, the difficulty of this matter is indeed very great, and it is very likely that the railway is the only way. After all, it is the transfer of thousands of people. Without ships, the carrying capacity of cars and planes is not enough. Perhaps only trains have a chance."

Ye Chen asked, "If I let you transport these thousands of people, what would you do?"

Li Yalin thought for a while and said, "I would first find a way to figure out the operation of the railway from here to the port, the loading and unloading process of railway freight, as well as the export procedures, approval processes, and loading processes for phosphate ore exported from the port."

"Since the railway is a dedicated line for transporting phosphate, all mining areas should be able to use it. Either the mining area has its own freight train and pays the railway usage fee to the government, or the railway is uniformly operated by the government and the mining area pays the transportation fee to the government. In any case, we must first ensure that a single mining area can operate point-to-point freight special trains. If this Duke Mining often has its own special train to the port, then the probability of transporting people out will be higher."

"Assuming the special train is no problem, people might be able to be transported to the port in batches through the special train, and then we have to break through the loopholes in the port to ensure that people can be safely and secretly sent to the ship during the unloading and loading process. As long as people are on the ship, the probability of success will be much greater."

Ye Chen muttered, "If the load of a freight car is fifty tons, a five-thousand-ton special train needs one hundred cars. If each car hides ten people, one train can hide one thousand people. The efficiency is indeed very high. If the dead soldiers and their families are withdrawn first, it is estimated that a few special trains will be enough. The key problem is how to let the people hidden on the train get on the ship safely without leaving any traces."

Li Yalin asked Ye Chen, "Is Mr. Ye going to Duke Mining for a field trip? If you go, we can go together. At that time, we can observe this transport line and see the transportation and shipping export process of Moroccan phosphate. Only by seeing it on the spot can we have a chance to find loopholes."

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Since I plan to use a diversionary tactic against the Anti-Qing Society, Morocco is a must-go. Now the Anti-Qing Society should not think that we have turned our target to Morocco. We can go there to observe carefully and then slowly formulate follow-up plans."

After saying that, Ye Chen said to Li Yalin, "If we go, it is best that only the two of us go, not even one more person. In addition, both of us must change our identities and disguise ourselves. We have already started monitoring all airports in Nigeria. Once the dead soldier station in Morocco has an accident, the Anti-Qing Society will definitely get all the surveillance footage they can find in Morocco and exclude them one by one. You are very famous in the Chinese circle in Europe and America, so it is better not to be noticed by them."

Li Yalin said without hesitation, "No problem, change your identity and go, without leaving any usable clues for the enemy."
