Zhang Xiaolong mobilized all his strength to investigate this matter thoroughly, and I believe he will be able to find clues.
While everyone was extremely anxious, the Philippine police discovered a vicious case in which twelve Chinese tourists were killed. The identity of the murderer was unknown, and the motive for the crime was unknown.
Among the pile of burned documents, only one name was recovered: "Xu Weiguo."
Anger burned in everyone's hearts. In the office of Jiashui World, all the main officials of Longtang were present. Sanzi and Zou Beibei also attended the meeting.
Reports about this tragedy were broadcast on TV. The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs was negotiating with the Philippine police, hoping to find the culprit as soon as possible. The Philippine police cooperated very well, dispatched a large number of police forces, and conducted a thorough investigation of the scene environment.
Zhang Xiaolong took a deep breath, exhaled it, calmed down the anger in his heart, turned off the TV with the remote control, and said to everyone: "There are three local drug lords in the Philippines, Santo, Asunan, and Titica. Kill them."
Xu Weiguo's is probably one of them, or all three of them. Xu Weiguo told me before that a group of emerging forces in the Philippines asked him for a new No. 4 and wanted to compete with these people for territory. I did not agree. Obviously Xu Weiguo did not listen to me.
Yes, not only did he ship the goods, he also transported some counterfeit banknotes there."
Guan Wang interrupted and said: "Boss, Xu Weiguo disobeyed your order. Even if he dies outside, it is his own fault. Don't be angry. You will be so angry."
Zhang Xiaolong said with a smile: "Guan Wang, if one day you cause trouble outside and are hacked to death, I will never help you take revenge. I will also pack up your wife and children and give them away." When he finished speaking, Zhang Xiaolong's face was already a little confused.
So hideous.
Guan Wang took a deep breath, trembled all over, lowered his head and did not dare to talk any more.
Zhang Xiaolong glared at Guan Wang fiercely for a while and said: "No matter what Xu Weiguo did, he is still the brother of Longtang. I want revenge. No one objects to it."
Everyone agreed.
Only Zou Beibei said worriedly: "Xiaolong, the Philippines is far overseas. It is impossible for us to send a large team of people there, and we don't know who the culprit is yet."
Zhang Xiaolong took out a business card, which was all in foreign languages, including English and Filipino.
"This was given to me by Xu Weiguo's daughter-in-law. I asked someone to translate it. This person's name is Charo, the leader of a small local gang in the Philippines. He rose to prominence very quickly at the beginning, but he has also disappeared recently."
Zhang Xiaolong called them by name and said: "Tiedan, Weiwei, Junchi, Guan Wang, you come with me to the Philippines. I will handle this matter personally."
Guan Wang's face turned pale all of a sudden. Why were they assigned to me? They were all tasks like this. Isn't this asking people to die?
Mao Junchi said: "Boss, in what name are we going this time?"
"Xu Weiguo is Chinese. As his boss, of course I am going to collect his body." Zhang Xiaolong pondered for a while and said to Zhang Quan: "Daqun, you also come with me, in the name of the Chinese police."
Zhang Quan asked: "Is it possible?"
"I can say hello to Mr. Tang, it should be no problem at all."
…………
Seven days later, Zhang Xiaolong came to the Philippines as deputy envoy of the Chinese case investigation team.
From the time he got on the plane to the time he got off the plane, Zhang Xiaolong didn't say a word to the envoy of the investigation team. The envoy of the investigation team was sitting in the economy class, while Zhang Xiaolong led a group of people to stay in the first class cabin.
When he got off the plane and collected his luggage, Zhang Xiaolong said hello to the envoy.
"What's your surname?" Zhang Xiaolong asked, almost making the sergeant angry to death.
"My lord, Tang Fei, the chief envoy of the investigation team for this case, deputy envoy Zhang Xiaolong, haven't you seen the list of personnel for this investigation team?" Tang Fei asked angrily.
Facing Tang Fei's questioning, Zhang Xiaolong didn't feel a trace of guilt.
"You do your thing and I do mine. We have different divisions of labor."
Tang Fei frowned and said angrily: "Don't think that you were hired by the superiors. If you make a mistake, I will report it and punish you."
"Mr. Tang, the Filipinos are outside and will make people laugh."
"you……"
Tang Fei had nothing to say. When he walked to the exit, he had to calm down and walked out with a smile on his face.
The Philippines attaches great importance to the arrival of the Chinese investigation team. They organized a grand welcome team, including the spokesman of the Philippine Police, Superintendent Arroyo.
Arroyo is a very strong man, he looks tall and has a bit of white blood.
"Welcome." Arroyo only knew this sentence in Chinese, and everything that followed was in English.
Zhang Xiaolong didn't understand. He looked at Mao Junchi inquiringly, and the other party replied in a low voice: "These are just polite words for the occasion. The Philippine police said they will fully cooperate with our investigation."
Out of politeness, Zhang Xiaolong shook hands with Arroyo. He felt that this man's hands were cold and he definitely didn't look like a good person.
Tang Fei and others followed Arroyo forward, while Zhang Xiaolong and others walked towards a group of Chinese businessmen waiting nearby. These people were members of local Chinese gangs that Yang Yihui helped contact.
The leader is Gu Yiyun, the leader of the Chinese gang. The Gu family is very powerful in the Philippines, and even the officials dare not offend them easily.
The Chinese gangs in the Philippines were born completely under forced circumstances. There has always been a strong voice of pro-democracy in the Philippines. In history, there were even massacres of expatriates. In order to protect their own safety, the Chinese have formed associations one after another to protect their own safety.
and interests.
In the early days of their establishment, Chinese associations were suppressed by Philippine officials. As China's national power became increasingly powerful, the Philippine government had to seriously consider its attitude towards the Chinese.
Gu Yiyun had seen Zhang Xiaolong's photo, so he stepped forward and said: "Boss Zhang, Mr. Yang asked me to pick you up and cooperate with all your actions in the Philippines."
"Thank you, Mr. Gu."
"This is what I should do." Gu Yiyun said to Ma Zai behind him: "Call me brother."
"Brother."
Behind Gu Yiyun, hundreds of people dressed in black bowed to Zhang Xiaolong. Zhang Xiaolong smiled and nodded, then looked towards Tang Fei and Arroyo.
Tang Fei and Arroyo seemed to have seen a ghost, their eyes widened and they looked at Zhang Xiaolong and others in disbelief.
Arroyo asked in a low voice: "Representative Tang, what is your deputy envoy doing?"
Tang Fei shook his head and said, "I don't know either."
Zhang Xiaolong didn't mind other people's looks at all. He said to Gu Yiyun: "I am now the deputy leader of the case investigation team. I will follow the police to claim the bodies of my men. Please help me find Cha Luo first.
"Zhang Xiaolong handed the business card left by Xu Weiguo to Gu Yiyun, "This is the person on the business card. I'm not familiar with the rules on the Philippine roads, so I'll trouble the old boss."
Gu Yiyun nodded and said: "Don't worry, Boss Yang, I'll send someone to check."
Gu Yiyun led the people away, and Zhang Xiaolong "returned" with his men again. He smiled calmly and said to Tang Fei who was looking at him: "Mr. Tang, when we leave, didn't we say that we have to claim the body first?"
Tang Fei couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Zhang, who were those people just now?" He had to be polite to Zhang Xiaolong because the scene just now was so shocking.
"Some of my distant relatives."
"Haha... So they are relatives!" Tang Fei smiled awkwardly and thought to himself: "Your relatives are really amazing!"
Due to the chaos just now, along the way from the airport to the morgue of the police station, except for Zhang Xiaolong and others who were chatting and laughing, everyone else was like a mute and did not say a word.
When they arrived at the place, Zhang Xiaolong did not enter the morgue. Instead, he asked Qi Fanghang to go inside and claim the bodies one by one with photos.
About half an hour later, Qi Fanghang came out and reported: "Boss, I have identified Xu Weiguo's body and six of his husbands, but I don't know who the five extra people are."
"I see."
Tang Fei heard Qi Fanghang's report and asked: "Zhang Xiaolong knows the people inside? How do you know each other?"
"I broke Xu Weiguo's hand, and he later became my employee. Including Xu Weiguo, there are seven people inside who are my employees."
"What kind of business does Zhang Xiaolong do?"
"Family business."
Zhang Xiaolong did not say more, but asked: "How do the Philippine police here speak Chinese?"
Tang Fei said: "They are not very good, only Arroyo has a translator beside him."
"Then don't worry." Zhang Xiaolong said loudly: "Daquan, Junchi, you stay to handle official business and supervise the case handling process of the Philippine police. Tiedan goes to Gu Yiyun and asks him to prepare some toys. Viagra can help.
translate."
Zhang Xiaolong led Geng Wei to Arroyo. Zhang Xiaolong asked: "Aside from Chinese and English, do you also know that kind of language that no one around you understands?"
Tang Fei was listening next to him, with a black line on his forehead.
"French." Arroyo's French was surprisingly standard.
Zhang Xiaolong looked at Geng Wei, and Geng Wei nodded. Geng Wei was from an elite special forces unit and had quite good language skills.
Zhang Xiaolong was not afraid that Tang Fei would hear it, he said: "Superintendent Arroyo, I don't believe in the so-called investigation. I need more covert information. If you can give me valuable information, I will pay you after the case is understood."
Two million U.S. dollars as reward, and I promise to launder the money and give it to you."
Tang Fei and the members of the formal investigation team almost fell to the ground.
Geng Wei translated Zhang Xiaolong's words into French. Looking at Zhang Xiaolong's extremely bright smile, Arroyo felt that she must be dreaming. Someone could actually do such an open bribery.
Moreover, two million US dollars is not something that ordinary people can afford.
