Chapter 3200: Team consciousness

~8 min read 1,423 words

Ye Chen wanted to know what goods were to be transported to Duke Mining this time. Li Yalin immediately asked the person in charge in French, and the other party immediately handed the transport plan for tomorrow to Li Yalin.

Li Yalin looked through the paper transport plan and said to Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, the third train on the transport plan is the one going to Duke Mining tomorrow morning, with a total of twenty train cars of goods, including six refrigerated cars and fourteen ordinary closed freight cars."

As he spoke, he added: "The consignor of this train is Moore Trading. This Moore Trading is Duke Mining's import and export merchant, and should be responsible for Duke Mining's phosphate monetization and supplementing Duke Mining with industrial equipment."

Ye Chen asked him: "Is there a cargo list in the transport plan?"

"Yes." Li Yalin nodded and said: "Beef and other meat products imported from the United States total 120 tons, dairy products 40 tons, and some imported grain food. The rest, according to the customs clearance list, are mostly mining equipment, precision instruments, and security equipment."

"Security equipment?" Ye Chen smacked his lips and said: "A station composed entirely of Cavalry Guards and dead soldiers, and still need security equipment?"

Li Yalin said: "It says here that the security equipment alone is about eighty cubic meters. The volume is indeed a bit too large. Could it be that the security equipment written on it is just a cover, and there are actually other goods?"

Ye Chen said: "Whether it's a cover or not, we'll know after we go and see in a while. I feel it shouldn't be. It's very likely that they have now begun to improve the security protection of all stations. If they use the most advanced security equipment to provide early warning for the entire defense zone like we did in Cyprus, then even if I go, it will be difficult not to be discovered by them."

The development of modern technology is no longer something that martial artists or cultivators can compare with. Cultivators can hold their breath and focus to ensure that even the most alert hunting dog cannot detect their existence, but in front of thermal imaging and life detectors, no matter how much you hold your breath and focus, it is futile.

Moreover, such technical equipment can be bought in the civilian market at any time. Last time in Cyprus, taking away Jian Gongbo in one wave, except for the close-in defense guns that were not easy to buy, the rest were basically equipment that could be legally purchased with money.

Once the Poqing Society also realizes this problem and no longer acts arrogantly, they are likely to follow suit and use high technology to protect themselves or even arm themselves. Maybe Duke Mining will also build a surveillance system that leaves no place to hide. In case they also have close-in defense guns or similar weapons and equipment, then Ye Chen cannot guarantee that he can escape safely after going there.

Li Yalin also realized that there might be hidden dangers behind this, so he said: "If this is the case, then we have to be cautious this time. If it really doesn't work, we can also change our thinking. We won't touch this dead soldier station, and directly secretly inform the Moroccan government of its situation. I believe they will not allow an organization with thousands of martial artists under their noses."

Ye Chen knew that Li Yalin was talking about the simplest solution, and it was also the most immediate. Don't look at the fact that most of these African countries are not well-developed and corruption is rampant. In fact, the more such an environment, the more the local government is wary of armed forces with a certain scale. At the current stage, many African countries are still military governments, the reason being frequent armed rebellions and power seizures. Duke Mining is only 200 kilometers away from Casablanca and even closer to the capital, Rabat. If the Moroccan government knew about the situation of the dead soldier station, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to sleep, and they would directly organize the army to rush to encircle and suppress it overnight.

But in that case, Ye Chen would have to face the problem he discussed with Lin Wan'er when he was in the Arctic Circle: in order to seek revenge on Wu Feiyan, is it necessary to indirectly or even directly kill tens of thousands of dead soldiers and their families?

Ye Chen is not an executioner, nor is he the kind of general talent who achieves success at the cost of countless lives. If he really had to make a decision, he couldn't be that cruel.

Therefore, he didn't want to do things like informing the local government unless it was a last resort.

So, he pondered for a moment and said to Li Yalin: "Detective Li, let's change our thinking and look at the problem. If there are really those high-tech products in this batch of goods, think about it from the other side, maybe we can relax. After all, we found them before they started using this equipment."

Li Yalin was speechless for a while.

He knew that what Ye Chen said made sense, but this was only Ye Chen's speculation. Before the speculation was fully confirmed, even if he was more confident, he couldn't be 100% sure. Once there was a deviation in this, the result might be fatal.

However, he also knew very well that there was no need for him to refute Ye Chen's inference at this time. After all, Ye Chen's inference had not been fully confirmed, and he had no full evidence to refute it. If he refuted his inference, he would fall into a complete internal friction.

At this stage, since Ye Chen had already put forward an inferential point of view, what he had to do was to find more evidence with him to support his point of view. If he couldn't find it, or found contradictory evidence, it meant that this matter might really not be worth the risk. At that time, he wouldn't need to refute Ye Chen, and Ye Chen would also know that this matter was not feasible.

Li Yalin, who had been a criminal investigator for so many years, knew too well the horror of internal friction.

When ten people work together to solve a case, once someone puts forward ideas and thoughts, the other nine must use practical actions to help him verify whether this idea is right or wrong, rather than directly refuting that the other party's idea is problematic. Once they enter a state of refuting each other without verification, this team is completely useless.

So, out of a strong sense of team consciousness, he said to Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye's idea makes sense. We will find a way to figure out what these devices are tonight. If it is really a complete solution, then Duke Mining probably hasn't installed high-tech security equipment at this stage. But if it is only a part of a complete solution, or some equipment that can be upgraded and enhanced, then they may already have a certain foundation. In that case, we need to consider it carefully."

Ye Chen nodded and said: "That's right. If we figure out the supplier of the equipment, maybe we can let the AI find a way to verify the cooperation between Moore Trading and these suppliers. If there was cooperation before this batch of goods, then we must be more careful. If it really doesn't work, we can only give up."

Li Yalin immediately said: "It might be a bit difficult for the AI model to hack into a country's customs data, and there is a risk of being tracked back, but it should be very simple to hack into a private enterprise's internal sales system. As long as we can determine the supplier of the equipment, the AI should be able to find out their dealings with Moore Trading."

Just then, the walkie-talkie on the person in charge's office desk suddenly received a voice message. Li Yalin understood the content of their communication and said to Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, the last train will enter the station in five minutes. It's the one from Duke Mining."

"Okay." Ye Chen pointed to the person in charge and said to Li Yalin: "Let him take us over now!" ===== CHAPTER 3201 =====
