Zhou Zhongping and Song Qing discovered a very strange phenomenon when they inspected the Lisheng Coal Washing Plant. There was not a single camera installed in their entire plant. Today, when monitoring equipment is so cheap, why don't the factory managers install cameras?
Is there something shady going on?
With such doubts, Zhou Zhongping and Song Qing independently questioned the factory director Mao Lisheng. Naturally, the content of the inquiry started with the pickup truck.
"How many pickup trucks do you have in your factory?"
Hearing Zhou Zhongping's question, Mao Lisheng was a little confused and he tentatively answered:
"There are two."
"Are these the two cars in the courtyard?"
"Yes, those are the two cars."
"Are there any other pickups that aren't home?"
"No, just these two cars are in the courtyard today."
Zhou Zhongping lowered his head and wrote something down in his notebook, and then asked:
"How many freezers and refrigerators do you have in your factory?"
Mao Lisheng fell into confusion. He scratched his head and said:
"A freezer and a refrigerator, they are all in the kitchen."
"With so many of you eating, one freezer and one refrigerator are enough?"
"Ah, this? Is it enough?"
"Do you have any other places to store food?"
"No, you've all seen the house in the factory, it's just this big."
"Why don't you install cameras in your factory?" Zhou Zhongping asked his doubts.
"Ah, camera?" Mao Lisheng looked a little flustered when he heard this question. He took out his cigarette and gave Zhou Zhongping a cigarette to cover up his initial embarrassment.
"Tell me, why don't you install it? The police station must have asked you to install it, right?" Zhou Zhongping refused the cigarettes handed over by Mao Lisheng.
"Officer, it's like this. It costs money to install cameras. Our factory is not very profitable and we can't make much money all year round. We really don't have the money to install that thing." Mao Lisheng explained.
"Aren't you afraid that someone will steal your things?"
"Well, what do I have here? Apart from coal, coal is coal. We have coal everywhere and no one cares about that stuff."
After listening to Mao Lisheng's explanation of the camera, Zhou Zhongping thought of the money on the table when he first came in. He concluded that Mao Lisheng did not install the camera because of lack of money. There must be some ulterior purpose in it. But Zhou Zhongping
Suspicion was suspicion, and it was difficult for him to continue questioning without other evidence. So he changed the topic to the two coal washing plants below.
"Do you know about the two coal washing plants below?"
When Zhou Zhongping asked about this, Mao Lisheng's expression became relaxed. He lit a cigarette and took a puff and said:
"Understood, the two factories below are owned by two brothers. The one next to me is owned by the boss Ding Sheng. The one at the bottom is owned by brother Ding Li. However, the brothers are not on good terms with each other and are trying to undermine each other.
Both of our factories can no longer operate. At the beginning of last year, Ding Li sold the equipment in the factory. By the end of the year, my brother Ding Sheng also stopped production."
"Do either of their factories have pickup trucks?"
"This should be the case. The equipment in our factory breaks down quite frequently and often has to be taken out for repairs, so almost every house has a pickup truck."
"How many pickup trucks do they have in their factory? Are they all still there?"
"I don't know about this."
"Then do you know the contact information of Ding Sheng and Ding Li?"
"You know, we are all from the same village."
After obtaining the contact information of Ding Sheng and Ding Li, Zhou Zhongping and Song Qing returned to Ding Sheng's coal washing plant in the middle. This time Zhou Zhongping showed his ID and asked the old gatekeeper to open the door.
, indicating that he wanted to go to the factory for inspection. Unexpectedly, the old man did not cooperate. Instead of opening the door, he locked a small door for pedestrians.
"Uncle, please cooperate. We are the police and we need to go in and check." Song Qing explained patiently.
"No, no one can enter without the boss's consent, not even the police." The old man guarding the door did not give in at all.
"Uncle, if you stop our inspection like this, you are obstructing official business and breaking the law."
"So what if I break the law? I'm so old, am I still afraid of breaking the law? If you have the ability, just arrest me." The old man relied on his old man with an attitude of being indifferent.
Zhou Zhongping had no choice but to call Ding Sheng.
"Who? I don't want to buy a house, so don't bother." A man's impatient voice came from the receiver.
"I am from the Nanshan District Interpol Team, are you Ding Sheng?"
"We are performing official duties. We are now at the gate of your coal washing plant. We want to go to your factory to check, but the old man guarding the door will not let us in."
"Oh, is there such a thing? This damn old golden head! Just wait a moment, I'll be there soon."
Zhou Zhongping and the two waited at the door for more than ten minutes. A black SUV rolled up dust and came to the factory door. Ding Sheng got out of the car and greeted the two of them first, and then walked towards the old Jintou who was guarding the door.
He cursed:
"You damn old gold head, you dare to stop the police, you don't want to live."
When Lao Jintou saw the boss coming, he quickly took the key and opened the door, mumbling an explanation:
"Boss, I don't know if they are police officers. They are not wearing police uniforms."
"Go away, go away."
Ding Sheng stepped aside, smiled at Zhou Zhongping and Song Qing and said:
"Two officers, please come in."
The office of Ding Sheng Coal Washing Plant is at the very back of the site. Accompanied by Ding Sheng, Zhou Zhongping and Song Qing walked through the coal ash on the open field. In addition to the coal washer and a few belt conveyors, there were
There isn't a shred of coal left.
"Why did the factory stop production?" Zhou Zhongping asked casually.
"Oh, officer, you don't know, our business is too difficult. Sometimes the coal we get from the pit is higher than the selling price, plus the cost of washing the coal, it's hard not to lose money," Ding Sheng complained.
.
"Isn't that Lisheng store above me doing a good job?" Zhou Zhongping asked deliberately.
"You're talking about that Maori student, don't mention it! He doesn't do business as well as he does. He cheats and cheats all day long and passes off substandard goods. The money he earns is all unintentional money. We can't do this."
"Why is it a shoddy product?"
"Officer, others don't know about them, but I do. Mao Lisheng's brother-in-law is a small boss in the mine and is in charge of the scrapyard. His kid secretly pulls gangue from the scrapyard and mixes it with good coal into his factory.
They sell it inside, and the price is still very low. The market has caused chaos for people like them." Ding Sheng seemed to have a very clear understanding of Mao Lisheng's situation.
When Zhou Zhongping heard this, he suddenly understood why Mao Lisheng's coal washing plant did not install monitoring systems.
