When Owen Bertram had York Gordon bring Cornelius Maxwell over, he secretly informed Jim as well. With the Mountain Master's memories, Owen told Jim all the clues; naturally, it would be much more efficient to investigate after knowing the entire trading process.
Cornelius Maxwell had reviewed the key files; the Mountain Master's men killed witnesses on the painting boat; Cornelius Maxwell suddenly made a breakthrough using the Divine Seal Pill; including the wealth he had used to bribe for promotion to revered Lord. All of these combined into a complete chain of evidence.
Moreover, Jim found a key witness: on the adjacent painting boat, someone saw Cornelius Maxwell meeting the Mountain Master-whether they really saw it or not didn't matter; Jim would handle everything well.
This was a solid case!
