Li Zan listened quietly to Jiang Heng's words. Through a video circulated on the dark web, he continued to pursue it for six years without letting go of any clues. Until now, he finally determined the real murderer of Jiang Heng, but the hatred hanging in his heart has not been wiped away.
After landing, it becomes clearer and firmer.
A group of gangsters created by the Lin Dynasty six years ago cooperated with Wan Qianshan to help him gain a foothold in the Golden Triangle. Even smuggling at the seaport can be seen as Wan Qianshan's presence stirring up trouble.
"Remember what I said about seaport smuggling? More than 30 billion in funds flowed into the dark web and were divided into several shares. Some of them know where they are going, and the rest are unknown, right?"
"Remember, you said that during the Cha Lin Dynasty case."
"It was destined for the Shan State Army."
"You mean - seaport smuggling is controlled by thousands of mountains?!" Li Zan lowered his voice: "It was Lin Chaoqi who used Liu Chengzhao's company to transfer a sum of funds to the seaport to mature the smuggling profit chain. I originally thought she wanted to take advantage of it.
She was carrying out drug transportation and drug trafficking at the seaport. At that time, she felt that her actions were too unnecessary for the sake of the near and far away. Now it seems that this fund may not belong to Lin Chaoqi, but it was just taken from Liu Chengzhao's company."
Liu Chengzhao's company is the largest logistics and shipping company in Beitian Port. If she wants to transport and sell drugs, of course her own company is the most convenient for Lin Chaoqi, but she chose a seaport with a mixed bag of fish and dragons.
At that time, Li Zan was a little confused, but now it makes sense to connect a series of events.
"Wanqianshan has not returned for more than ten years, but it is still affecting Yuejiang City, causing great harm." Li Zan finished his comment and asked: "Are you sure the name of the person who shot you is Lou Ji?"
"From your tone, do you know him?"
Li Zan said that he went to find Luo Zhenghao and learned from him the names of two suspects who were probably involved in the serious case of missing guns at the Tangshan shooting range 16 years ago, namely Lou Ji and Wan Qianshan.
"You said Lou Ji is a boy?"
"Looks like, I guess he is about 36 years old. His face is young and his body has not grown any more. Maybe he is suffering from some special disease."
"According to the testimonies of Luo Zhenghao and Lou Ji, the mastermind behind the scenes is Wan Qianshan. But I don't understand why Lou Ji betrayed Wan Qianshan? He was also involved in the missing gun case 16 years ago. I guessed it right.
If so, he had already contacted Wan Qianshan at that time. It might have been their first cooperation. According to what you said, they then went to the Golden Triangle, to Hong Kong City, and then back to the Golden Triangle... Lou Ji pawned ten thousand yuan.
How could he suddenly betray Wan Qianshan after being his subordinate for more than ten years?"
Li Zan couldn't figure it out: "Lou Ji killed Daowen and Ban Zhongde in order to find the stolen firearms and surveillance videos first and destroy them. His purpose was to protect Wanqian Mountain."
"He told me that everyone is his own master."
The saying "Each one is his master" is very interesting. Lou Ji, who has been working for Wanqian Mountain for more than ten years, has actually been serving another person. Jiang Heng asked back at that time, "Rebellious boy", and Lou Ji acquiesced,
The word "anti-bone boy" also has two meanings, one is a traitor, the other is a traitor, and obviously Lou Ji is the second one.
"Do you believe it?"
"This person Lou Ji is too dangerous, I can't believe him completely." Jiang Heng said, "Just a gamble, he gave me the military defense map of Wanqianshan."
Li Zan was surprised: "What a big bargaining chip."
Jiang Heng: "If the military defense map is true, it means that Lou Ji is not lying. It also means another thing - Lou Ji and the people he is loyal to have murderous intentions towards Wanqianshan."
Li Zan: "You haven't taken action for more than ten years, but you suddenly rebelled when you said you were rebelling, and you happened to be able to defeat him when the power of Wanqianshan was at its peak. Is this a game of challenging yourself and pushing your limits?"
"Maybe it's because Wan Qianshan wasn't that ambitious before, but now he wants to swallow the whole cake, so he has murderous intentions."
"Cake?" Li Zan narrowed his eyes, thoughtfully: "I remembered it, you said that someone in the Golden Triangle is forming an army, the Shan State Army...Kunshan, Wanqian Mountain, could he want to form an army?
Shall we follow Khun Sa's example and form an independent government?"
Jiang Heng nodded: "Establishing an army is the first step, and then establishing an independent government to get involved in 60% of the poppy cultivation areas in the Golden Triangle. In recent years, he has deliberately controlled the drug trade in the Golden Triangle, and his plans are not small.
"
Li Zan: "Others will not be happy to see this situation."
The Shan State Army once belonged to the Myanmar Army, and its base is the Shan State Mountains in Myanmar. Wan Qianshan wanted to establish an independent government, but the Myanmar government was the first to refuse. And Wan Qianshan’s control of drugs is bound to break the existing global
To balance the drug trade, other drug traffickers will not let him form an army and become independent, but they will never sit back and watch him plunder profits.
Especially when this benefit is cut from their plate.
Jiang Heng: "The three governments of Myanmar, Lao, and Thailand are all keeping an eye on the Wanqian Mountains, the Golden Triangle, and all the poisonous leaders, big and small, who have heightened their vigilance, but no one dares to be the first to take action. According to Lou Ji, there is a little poisonous person
Tou happened to know the past of Wanqianshan, and he was afraid of alerting others, so he only sent two people to investigate."
These two people were Daowen and Ban Zhongde who were killed by Lou Ji in Simen Village. They investigated the hiding place of the firearms and surveillance cameras, but were intercepted by Lou Ji before they could find them.
"They..." Li Zan hesitated and said, "Want to drag China into the anti-Wanqianshan team?"
Jiang Heng nodded: "They also hope that China will fire the first shot."
Li Zan sneered: "Fantasy."
"If the 703 black gun case is restarted, plus the security department shooting attack, two cases at the highway toll station, the fire on Hangshui Street, the shooting deaths of Shen Pingsha, Dao Wen and Ban Zhongde in Guangdong City, etc. are made public
, at that time, due to image concerns, China may have to step forward.”
"Did you find surveillance tapes in the security department?"
"Um."
"where?"
"Lu Ji took it away when I wasn't prepared."
Jiang Heng felt sorry for this, and Li Zan said: "That is an empty videotape." Then he summarized the information obtained from Luo Zhenghao in a few words.
Hearing this, Jiang Heng lowered his eyes and hid the deep thoughts in his eyes. After combining the clues he had obtained, he felt like he was behind bars. The clues he and Li Zan traced were too coincidental and smooth, like
I took the initiative to bump into my hands, and I didn’t experience too many twists and turns.
Li Zan turned around and said, "Go to sleep first."
Jiang Heng responded, hugged Li Zan and led him to lie down: "Together?"
There was nothing else to do now, so Li Zan relaxed his body and lay down on the narrow hospital bed. He turned his body sideways and tried not to press the wound on Jiang Heng's shoulder. He closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.
***
In a narrow alleyway in a village in the city of Tangshan New District, an ordinary electric three-wheeled food stall was parked below a residential building. Luo Zhenghao got out of the car, pulled out a car cover and hastily covered the electric three-wheeled vehicle and then climbed out.
Go upstairs.
Because of his age, Luo Zhenghao only rents the second floor.
After opening the door and entering the house, Luo Zhenghao, who was about to turn on the light, noticed a strange smell and a "bang" sound in the house. He turned on the light and used the bamboo chair at his feet as a defensive weapon and turned around suddenly -
"who!!"
The light fell, illuminating Lou Ji who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa and eating watermelon.
Lou Ji raised his hand holding the white bandage and said hello: "Hello."
"..." Luo Zhenghao, who stared at Lou Ji's pretty face for a long time, finally turned silently and went into the kitchen. He heated up some leftovers from the morning and took them out to eat. He did not forget to say coldly: "Why are you still here?
I?"
"My hand was shot. Let me find a place to sleep for one night." Lou Ji put his elbows on his thighs and knees and asked with interest: "Who came to see you today? Is it a policeman named Li Zan?"
Luo Zhenghao, who was eating, paused and stared at Lou Ji suspiciously and warily: "Are you plotting against me?"
Lou Ji: "How do you say this - why am I not plotting against you?"
Luo Zhenghao clenched his chopsticks, knowing that he was in the wrong, so he swallowed his anger.
Lou Ji was afraid of angering Honest Man and drove him away at night, so he took the initiative to explain: "As long as there is one suspect in a case, Captain Li will pursue it. Even without your or my calculations, he will find out sooner or later."
The truth about the 703 gun case back then. Now you are just helping him understand the truth in advance, so there is no need to feel guilty."
As Li Zan suspected, Luo Zhenghao hid something but did not say it out loud, that is, half of the clues he provided came from the many young Lou Ji in front of him who was still pretending to be young.
Luo Zhenghao: "What is your purpose?"
"It's the same as you, what else can it be? Believe me, you and I both want to get rid of Wanqianshan." Lou Ji asked: "Can you cook something for me? I'm very hungry..."
‘Bang!’ There was a crisp sound, and Luo Zhenghao threw down his bowls and chopsticks and looked at Lou Ji coldly: “I think your goal is not to get rid of Wan Qianshan, but the policeman named Li Zan!”
"Tsk! That's not true!" Lou Ji threw away the watermelon rind and retorted: "Can a favor done conveniently be called a target?"
Luo Zhenghao was shocked and confused, who was the "favor" that was conveniently sent to him? Wan Qianshan or Li Zan?
Lou Ji wiped the watermelon juice from his hands, then pointed the gun at Luo Zhenghao with his intact hand: "Can you please help me cook a meal and buy a ticket back to Xishuangbanna."
"Do you still want to take a plane?" Luo Zhenghao: "Aren't you afraid that the whole city will have a wanted order for you tomorrow morning?"
Lou Ji was quite confident: "No." Jiang Heng and Li Zan should not be so shameless.
Night falls.
Dongcheng District Branch.
Ji Chengling, who assisted the Tangshan New District Police in investigating the Tangshan Shooting Range Security Section, returned to the branch after receiving an enlarged photo of Lou Ji after finishing the case.
Lao Zeng and the others had not gotten off work yet, so they gathered together to drink sugar water and talk about the fire on Hang Shui Street and the 703 gun case. When they saw Ji Chengling coming back, they pulled him in to chat.
"The Beitian District has verified that the firearm fragments found on Hangshui Street are from the batch of firearms stolen from Tangshan 16 years ago. The Xinzhou District has confirmed based on the identities of Daowen and Ban Zhongde and the gunshot wounds on their bodies.
I'm sure there is something unusual in the Golden Triangle." Lao Zeng pushed away the finished bowl of sugar water and said, "I don't know what the next action will be. I heard that the municipal bureau is contacting the provincial department. Ji Chengling, what did you go to check?"
"I went to a shooting range in Tangshan New District to investigate, and Team Li asked me to go there."
Most of the others were not interested when they heard it. Only Wang raised his head because he had just been asked by Li Zan to inspect the shooting range at the east foot of Tangshan New District during the day.
Xinzhou Municipal Bureau.
The city bureau is brightly lit and bustling with activity. Even Cheng Weiping, the director, has not yet gotten off work, but continues to work in his office.
He picked up a list of outstanding police officers recommended by the inter-provincial exchange meeting, stamped and signed it and put it in a folder. He covered it with a thick and hard folder, covering the list of outstanding police officers recommended with 'Li Zan' written on it. .
At the same time, Li Zan and Jiang Heng, who had slept all afternoon in Tangshan New District Hospital, were discharged from the hospital. The latter went home, and the former knocked on Bureau Tong's door and began to chat with him about a series of serious cases he had investigated.
When Li Zan talked about the missing gun case in Tangshan New District and the fire on Hangshui Street this morning, Bureau Tong had a bad premonition. When Li Zan talked about the shooting at the security department and the traffic accident at the highway toll station, Bureau Tong has already felt the pain.
After Li Zan finished saying that not only were these cases committed by the same person, but even the two deaths in Simen Village and Shen Pingsha were related to this person, Director Tong still had hope: "Then who is this person? "
"His name is Wan Qianshan." Li Zan poured the anti-hypertensive tea for Tong Ju in advance, and his tone was as gentle as possible: "It is said that he is the biggest poisonous leader in the Golden Triangle. He owns an army and recently wants to become independent. The government, this idea of fearing that the world will not be in chaos is really evil."
Who is so worried about the world being in chaos?! Why can’t he be allowed to live until the day he retires?
Tong Ju suddenly felt that life was worse than death.
"Ju Tong?" Li Zan blinked: "...Uncle?"
"Why do you still call me uncle? It's my turn to call you ancestor."
"There's no need to be so polite."
"..."
The two looked at each other speechlessly for a long time. Li Zan broke the calm: "Uncle, what do you think?"
Tong Ju’s vicissitudes of life: “I want to retire.”
Li Zan: "Just wait another ten years."
The thought of having to suffer another ten years of trouble from Li Zan made Tong feel uncomfortable, and he was so worried that he lost a few more hairs.
"Uncle, let's restart Case 703."
"You think you're playing house?! If you say you want to restart an old case, you'll restart it." Bureau Tong glared: "For the serious case sixteen years ago, even if there was a pile of physical evidence exploded by the fire on Hangshui Street, except for the pile of scrap copper and iron What other physical evidence are there? The 'Lou Ji', 'Wan Qianshan' and 'Luo Zhenghao' you mentioned, or can a blank surveillance video tape be used as evidence?"
Li Zan also knew about Bureau Tong's dilemma. He said: "Thousands of mountains are lawless, and his men will blow up the water streets if they say they will. But this is Yuejiang City, China's territory, not his Golden Triangle. Uncle, thousands of mountains." Shan has a lot of lives on his hands. Sixteen years ago, he tore off the faces of the Armed Forces, the Military Region and the Public Security Bureau. The current fire on Hangshui Street is also a violation of our country's laws and public security. Uncle, can you bear it?"
Director Tong was not angry: "What can I do if I can't bear it? You said that since you have investigated, why don't you just check everything, it's best to bring back all the physical evidence and witness, and what about 'Lou Ji' - ―He even ran into him and let him run away?! Two shots were fired to break his legs and he was dragged back to be used as a witness! Do you know how many good things can be obtained?!"
He simply hates the fact that iron cannot become steel!
Li Zan: "..." These remarks show that Bureau Tong's behavior is more barbaric than his. In the past, he had the nerve to urge him to be a civilized person every day? "There should be a personal photo of Lou Ji at Ji Chengling's place. I originally wanted to get a wanted order - "
Bureau Tong: "Do you still have to think about it?"
Li Zan: "I understand. What about Wanqianshan and the missing gun case?"
Bureau Tong: "I will make a report and submit it. Whether the case can be reopened depends on the judgment of the superiors." He frowned and knocked on the table and said: "If the fire on Hangshui Street had not happened, no matter whether you asked for witnesses or not,
A one-sided statement without physical evidence will definitely not reopen an old case from sixteen years ago. But now that the Hang Shui Street fire has occurred, the higher authorities will seriously consider it, because——"
"Too arrogant!"
