Chapter 678 Digging Deeper into Clues, Closing the Gap
Ye Haoxuan nodded, his sharp eyes fixed on Miyamoto Musashi on the interrogation chair, and said in a deep voice:
"Miyamoto Musashi, I know you are unwilling to accept this, unwilling to accept that everything you have painstakingly built has been destroyed in an instant. But you must understand that now, the Black Blade Group has been completely wiped out, all your subordinates have been captured by us, and your smuggling network has been taken over by us. There is no point in you resisting any longer."
He paused, then tossed the list of smuggling networks in his hand in front of Miyamoto Musashi, his tone icy:
“This is the complete smuggling network list of the Black Blade Group that we found on your confidant’s phone. We have information on every smuggler and every transportation route on it. Do you think that just because you don’t confess, we can’t completely destroy your smuggling network? You’re wrong. Even without your confession, we can use this list to work with the Southeast Asian police to bring all the smugglers to justice.”
Miyamoto Musashi raised his head, glanced at the list on the table, a flash of shock crossing his eyes, but he quickly regained his previous resistance, a mocking smile curling at the corner of his lips. In a hoarse voice, he roared:
"Even if you find the list, so what? My Black Blade Group has been operating for many years and has deep roots. Even if I am captured, there are still many hidden remnants and many secret smuggling bases. You will never be able to completely destroy everything I have!"
"Hidden remnants? Secret smuggling hideouts?" Ye Haoxuan sneered, his tone laced with mockery. "Do you think we haven't found out? We've already located your hideout in Sai Wan. My men have already gone there to search, and I believe it won't be long before we find your hidden remnants, your concealed drugs and weapons, and even more smuggling leads."
Upon hearing the words "hiding place in the West Ring," Miyamoto Musashi's body trembled slightly, and the resistance in his eyes was gradually replaced by fear.
He never expected that the police would find even his most hidden hideout—where not only were his personal belongings hidden, but also the core communication records between the Black Blade Group and Southeast Asian smugglers, as well as several close confidants. If the police found them, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Ye Haoxuan noticed Miyamoto Musashi's change and, seizing the opportunity, softened his tone slightly:
"Miyamoto Musashi, I'm giving you one last chance. If you confess truthfully, revealing all your hidden accomplices, secret smuggling locations, and the core details of your connections with Southeast Asian smugglers, and voluntarily admit your crimes, we can try to get you a lighter sentence in court. Otherwise, you will face life imprisonment or even the death penalty, and your hidden accomplices and your family will also be implicated and arrested by us one by one."
Miyamoto Musashi fell silent, his head bowed, his mind racing.
On one side was his own life and the safety of his family; on the other was the Black Blade Group he had painstakingly built, and those hidden remnants. He knew that Ye Haoxuan was telling the truth. Once the police searched his hideout and found those key clues, he would have no bargaining chips left. At that time, what awaited him would only be the most severe punishment.
Just then, Ye Haoxuan's phone rang. It was a call from the police officer in charge of searching for his hiding place in Sai Wan.
Ye Haoxuan immediately pressed the answer button and asked in a deep voice:
"This is Ye Haoxuan. How's the search going? Have you found any hidden remnants or smuggling leads?"
The officer's excited yet respectful voice came through the phone:
"Inspector Ye! We have successfully arrived at Miyamoto Musashi's hideout and subdued the two Black Blade Group members guarding him without any conflict. Inside the villa, we found a large quantity of drugs and weapons, as well as a stack of core communication records detailing the Black Blade Group's cooperation with Southeast Asian smugglers. In addition, we also located three hidden remnants of the Black Blade Group, all of whom have been subdued and are on their way back to the police station!"
“Very good!” Ye Haoxuan’s tone was tinged with excitement. “Immediately transport all the remaining criminals, seized drugs, weapons, and communication records back to the police station and hand them over to the technical department and Sandy. Have them carefully verify them and organize them into a complete chain of evidence. In addition, thoroughly search every corner of the villa, do not overlook any clues, and ensure that no hidden criminals or contraband items are missed.”
"Understood, Inspector Ye!"
After hanging up the walkie-talkie, Ye Haoxuan looked at Miyamoto Musashi again, his eyes sharp:
"Did you hear that? Your hiding place has been completely taken over by us. We've found your remnants, your contraband, and your core communication records. Now, what are you still struggling for? Confessing the truth is your only way out."
Miyamoto Musashi's psychological defenses completely collapsed.
He slowly lowered his head, his shoulders trembling slightly, his face streaked with tears of despair, and said in a hoarse voice:
“Okay, I’ll confess, I’ll confess everything. I’ll tell you all the hidden remnants, all the secret smuggling locations, and all the details of my dealings with Southeast Asian smugglers. I just beg you to give me a lenient sentence and spare my family.”
“As long as you tell the truth, we’ll keep our word.” Sandy immediately took out her notebook and pen, ready to take notes, and said with a serious look in her eyes, “Now, let’s begin, starting with your hidden remnants.”
Miyamoto Musashi took a deep breath, slowly raised his head, his eyes unfocused, and began to confess one by one—he revealed the list of Black Blade Group's remnants hidden in various areas of Hong Kong, the secret smuggling bases hidden in Japan and Southeast Asia, the core details of his connections with each Southeast Asian smuggler, and all his crimes of smuggling drugs and weapons over the years, without any concealment.
Ye Haoxuan and Sandy listened attentively while taking quick notes, not missing a single detail.
Whenever Miyamoto Musashi mentioned crucial information, Ye Haoxuan would promptly follow up with questions to verify every detail, ensuring he wasn't lying or concealing any clues. In the interrogation room, only Miyamoto Musashi's hoarse voice and the occasional questioning from Ye Haoxuan and Sandy remained, the atmosphere serious and heavy.
Meanwhile, the officers in the technical department were also working hard – they were checking the smuggling network list, organizing the communication records brought from Miyamoto Musashi's hideout, cracking the newly found electronic devices, and trying to improve the chain of evidence; the officers responsible for guarding the arrested people were also keeping a close watch on them to prevent any mistakes.
Captain Li was organizing all the materials for the entire case, including the seized drugs, weapons, evidence, and interrogation testimonies of all suspects, in preparation for the subsequent case transfer and court trial.
