Chapter 60: Anti-drug Operation (Part )
The cooperation between Qi Tongwei and Zhao Buyuan successfully confused Fatty Zhang, who was originally trying to hold on without saying anything, but after hearing the conversation between the two, he could no longer hold on.
He was worried that if he didn't confess, Qi Tongwei would really reopen the investigation into Qin San's fall into the river and let the tax bureau inspect his sand factory.
He hoped Qi Tongwei would focus his attention on other people instead of staring at him.
"I'll confess, leader. Can it be considered as turning myself in if I take the initiative to confess?" Fatty Zhang said hurriedly when he saw Qi Tongwei was about to leave.
Qi Tongwei, who had his back to Fatty Zhang, smiled slightly, then turned around with a frown on purpose and said, "You really won't cry until you see the coffin, so you're just speaking now.
Well, I'll give you a chance. As long as the clues you provide are valuable, it can be considered as your surrender and meritorious service."
After hearing what Qi Tongwei said, Fatty Zhang did not hide it any further and told him everything he knew.
The reason why Fatty Zhang dared to tell everything was mainly because of the drug trafficking incident. He was still a novice and even if he was guilty, his guilt was not serious.
As Fatty Zhang continued to narrate, the whole story became clear.
It turned out that after Huang Xingyao's downfall, many rock sugar dealers set their sights on Dabeihu County.
In terms of economy and humanities, Dabeihu County is not very prominent in the entire Handong, and even ranks last, but it is the favorite place for rock sugar dealers.
There are two main reasons. First, it is close to the Yellow Sea, so the opium can be exported to many countries and regions through the Yellow Sea, and it can also escape from the sea at any time if encountering any unexpected situation. Second, this is a hilly and gully area, and it is not easy to be discovered when planting opium poppies in the mountainous area.
Liu Meng from Yantai City and Jing Yiwu from Jingzhou City both had their eyes on this place, but a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, so the two initially planned to cooperate with Ma Dayong and the Xu brothers.
Ma Dayong and the Xu brothers had finally waited for Huang Xingyao to get into trouble, and there was no one to suppress them anymore. This was the proudest moment for them, and they had no intention of cooperating with anyone.
After being rejected, Liu Meng and Jing Yiwu, the two powerful people who had crossed the river, turned their attention to a group of small forces such as Fatty Zhang, and prepared to support them to fight against Ma Dayong and the Xu brothers.
But no one expected that Ma Dayong and the Xu brothers were so powerful and could defeat several families.
"I know everything you said. What I want now is evidence that can prove that they are making and selling rock sugar, not listening to your story telling here." Qi Tongwei interrupted Fatty Zhang who was still telling a story. He did know all this.
"It is said that the goods in Ma Dayong's hands all come from Guyingling. It is said that the Xu brothers make and sell their own goods. I don't know exactly where the rock sugar factory is.
But I know that they are purchasing poppies recently. I heard that they went to Huli Township. I heard that a lot of poppies are planted in Shuangshan Village, Huli Township.
In order to seize the raw materials, Boss Liu from the provincial capital also brought us to purchase a batch of raw materials and prepared to negotiate with the Xu brothers. "Fatty Zhang provided an important clue.
"Lone Eagle Ridge?" When Fatty Zhang mentioned Lone Eagle Ridge, it brought back Qi Tongwei's memories.
He was very familiar with this place. In his previous life, he went to investigate this drug-making village. After being exposed, he was shot three times and won the first-class merit.
It’s a pity that the first-class merit did not bring me everything I wanted, so I won’t mention what happened afterwards.
He remembered clearly that due to his exposure, the village chief of Guyingling, Li Hong, burned the account books. Although the drug-making village was eventually wiped out, many buyers still escaped.
He had planned to wipe out this village before, but he had never been able to explain the source of the information. Now it was like a sleepy head meeting a pillow.
Shaking his head, Qi Tongwei came back to his senses and asked, "Where are the rock sugar materials you bought, how strong is the guard, and where are the goods in the hands of the Xu brothers?"
Just as Fatty Zhang was about to answer, his mobile phone on the table rang, and Qi Tongwei motioned for him to pick it up.
"I'm Zhang Wei. If you have something to say, please tell me." Fatty Zhang said into the phone, then he took his mouth off the phone and whispered, "It's Chen Kuan who called. He's Ma Dayong's military advisor."
"Ask him what's going on." Qi Tongwei quickly picked up the pen and wrote these words, then listened to the voice on the other end of the phone.
"Brother Fatty, what a trick! He actually bribed the captain of the anti-drug brigade so early. Brother Xiaoyong is still cursing at him now!"
"If you have something to say, just say it. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you." Fatty Zhang asked after Qi Tongwei's reminder.
"My eldest brother would like to treat Brother Pang to a meal. I wonder if you would be willing to do me the honor." Chen Kuan asked politely.
Zhang Pang followed Qi Tongwei's prompt and replied: "I dare not have dinner with Boss Ma. I haven't lived enough!"
"Fat brother, let's be frank. My eldest brother invites all the bosses of Dabeihu County to have dinner at the Dihao Hotel at 8 o'clock tonight to discuss how to divide the territory." Chen Kuan no longer kept the secret and directly stated the purpose of the call.
Qi Tongwei nodded, and Fatty Zhang replied, "I understand. I will be there on time."
"Emgrand Hotel, you know what Ma Dayong is capable of, he actually plays tricks under the lamp." How could their little tricks be hidden from Qi Tongwei.
The underworld today is still very rough and crude, far worse than in later generations. Take Chen Kuan for example, he knew that Fatty Zhang had been taken away by the police, but he still dared to tell such important news on the phone.
I am really sure that He Qiang is from another gang and that they captured Fatty Zhang to protect him.
Qi Tongwei naturally didn't care about all this. He certainly hoped that his opponents were as weak as possible, and would preferably be idiots. Unfortunately, in most cases, he encountered smart opponents.
Fatty Zhang then explained the storage location of the poppies they purchased, the guards, and the weapons in their hands.
After explaining everything clearly, Qi Tongwei had him taken away and then went to report to Director Liu Xiaoshun.
"Good, that's great." After listening to Qi Tongwei's report, Liu Xiaoshun walked around excitedly.
He didn't expect that such results would be achieved less than three months after Qi Tongwei took office as deputy director.
Qi Tongwei stood respectfully aside, waiting for his orders.
After Liu Xiaoshun calmed down, he said solemnly: "Don't notify other police forces yet to avoid leaks. You leave the criminal police and drug enforcement police behind in the name of overtime. When the time is up, take action immediately and surround the entire Dihao Hotel.
After you lead your men to surround the hotel, I will notify other police forces to support you."
"Yes, I will guarantee to complete the task." Qi Tongwei saluted. He was very satisfied with Director Liu Xiaoshun's arrangement and agreed directly.
Afterwards, Qi Tongwei and Liu Xiaoshun supplemented some details, such as who surrounded the Imperial Hotel, who raided the opium storage site,
After confirming that there were no loopholes, Qi Tongwei returned to his office and called Zhao Buyuan and He Qiang to come to his office.
Qi Tongwei did not hide anything from the two of them and told them about the arrangements for the evening, while asking them not to disclose any information to anyone.
Qi Tongwei asked the two of them to request the personnel from the drug enforcement and criminal police teams to work overtime tonight on the pretext of trying Fatty Zhang and his gang, so as not to alert the enemy.
When He Qiang and Zhao Buyuan heard this, they immediately agreed excitedly. This was simply a credit that came right to their lips, and they would be letting the deputy director down if he had taken such good care of them.
