Chapter 291 Blackmail
Han Chengbi was also stunned by Huang Maoxun's words and actions. At this moment, his face was full of wonderful expressions. First, there was an expression of disbelief, followed by panic and fear, and then quickly turned into anger. His fat face first turned pale, then turned black, and finally quickly turned red.
"You bastard." The first person to react was the youngest of the three women. She turned around and pointed at Huang Maoxun, scolding him in a slightly hoarse voice, "Do you know what you are talking about?!"
With this young woman taking the lead, the remaining two middle-aged women also reacted. They yelled and cursed at Huang Maoxun, as if he was their enemy.
What Huang Maoxun said before was probably the impulsive words spoken due to dementia. But after the quarrel between the three women, he came back to his senses. Although his face was full of unwillingness and anger, and his lips were trembling, he did not say anything more and fell into silence.
Due to his silence, the entire police hall became noisy again. The onlookers were clamoring and saying all kinds of things. Some people might have believed what Huang Maoxun had just said, but more people probably still maintained a skeptical attitude.
After all, Huang Maoxun is a police inspector. If he knew that Han Chengbi was selling drugs and had clear evidence, why didn't he arrest him? This kind of thing doesn't make sense at all.
As for An Rushong, he believed it, not for any other reason, but because Han Chengbi had connections with the American soldiers in Camp Walker.
Before this, An Rushong had heard from Mike that the Walker Camp where Wilder was located was secretly engaged in drug trafficking.
In addition, in his previous life, An Rushong had also come into contact with news about this matter. He remembered very clearly that there was a period of time when the US troops stationed in South Korea were suspected of drug trafficking, which caused a lot of uproar in South Korea, but in the end it was nothing.
The reality is that American soldiers, including Wilder, have the ability to bring drugs from abroad into South Korea through the US military's special system, but they cannot go out and sell them themselves. They do not have that ability or that kind of network of relationships. Therefore, if they want to sell drugs smoothly and eventually turn them into money, they need corresponding people to distribute them for them.
At first, An Rushong thought that Stars & Stripes Bar was their distribution channel. Now it seems that Han Chengbi might also be a link in their entire sales network.
That’s right, the more An Rushong thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was very high.
And inside the desk, next to Huang Maoxun, Yu Yingrui, with a grim expression on his face, also had his own thoughts.
Yes, he also didn't believe that Huang Maoxun was talking nonsense. In his opinion, although the police inspector under him was unreliable, he couldn't be so unreliable.
Although drugs are rampant in the Republic of Korea, and doctors are willing to prescribe all kinds of banned drugs to patients in order to make money, from a legal perspective, drug trafficking is still a serious crime in South Korea. Even if Huang Maoxun is insane, it is unlikely that he would be accused of drug trafficking for no reason.
Therefore, what Huang Maoxun said in a desperate situation may very well be the truth, that is to say, this disgusting-looking guy may indeed be a drug dealer.
But then again, even if he realized this, Yu Yingrui didn't intend to spend too much time on it. In his opinion, whether the other party was really a drug dealer or not, it had nothing to do with him. He was just the director of the Songlu District Police Station, not the prosecutor in charge of the drug inspection team of the Procuratorate.
If he takes this matter too seriously, even if he solves the case in the future, his contribution will not be that great, at least he will not be able to surpass the prosecutor in charge of the case. At the same time, those drug dealers are all desperate criminals, and if they want revenge in the future, they will look for him.
In that case, why doesn't he just keep silent and pretend he knows nothing?
Those who knew the truth and those who could guess the truth remained silent, and Huang Maoxun, who revealed the news, retracted his head. Thus, a farce-like storm was passed over in this vague manner.
The three women who were traveling with Han Chengpil were eventually taken away by Han Chengpil himself after a quarrel.
Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, An Rushong took Sun Manzhu and the other two out of the police hall. However, they did not leave immediately. Instead, they prepared to go back to the car first and wait for Han Sulan to come out before leaving together.
Although An Rusong said in front of Yu Yingrui that there was no need to pay attention to Han Sulan, because Blackwater would definitely use diplomatic means to get Han Sulan out, but it was certain that as the director of the police station, Yu Yingrui could not really keep Han Sulan in custody. If that were the case, he would be too stupid.
The most important thing is that An Rushong has already reached a settlement with Han Chengbi. In this case, the police station has no reason to continue detaining Han Sulan.
There are probably two things that Yu Yingrui needs to do now: first, release Han Sulan from the detention room as soon as possible to calm down the situation, and second, cooperate with lawyer Dicky to hold Huang Maoxun accountable. As for the rest, they are not within the scope of consideration of this director.
When An Rusong and his group came out of the police hall, Han Chengbi and his group just walked to the entrance of the parking lot. From a distance, they could see that the woman with the child had not left the parking lot. She was standing with the two American soldiers, talking about something. An Rusong led Sun Manzhu and the others to the parking lot while looking at the scratched Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle from a distance. At this moment, there was another car on the other side of the Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle, a military green jeep, which was probably driven by two American soldiers.
Just as An Rushong and his group were about to reach the entrance of the parking lot, Han Chengbi and his group also walked together with the woman with the child. The two American soldiers also saw An Rushong walking over, and they said something to the woman with the child, and then got on the jeep.
After the two American soldiers got on the jeep, Han Chengbi and his party did not return to their own car, but stood at the rear side of the jeep, apparently preparing to wait for the two American soldiers to drive away before returning to their car. It is estimated that in their eyes, the two American soldiers were also people who must be treated politely.
An Rushong and his group continued to walk towards the entrance of the parking lot, and the jeep slowly backed out of the parking space. When An Rushong and his group walked to the entrance of the parking lot, the jeep just backed out of the parking space, with the front of the car facing the entrance of the parking lot. The distance between An Rushong and his group was about ten meters.
It was obvious that the jeep was about to leave. Sun Manzhu and the others could naturally see this, so their instinctive reaction was to move aside and make way for driving. Even Luo Minzhi automatically took two steps to the side.
But An Rushong had no intention of giving way. He just walked towards the front of the jeep. Finally, under the gazes of the two groups of people, he stopped less than one meter in front of the jeep.
Looking in through the front window of the car, the person driving the car was actually the corporal, and the person sitting in the passenger seat was the private first class.
An Rushong walked all the way over a distance of more than ten steps without any intention of giving way to the other party. However, the American soldier in the car neither honked nor started the car, but just waited for him patiently. Just from this reaction, An Rushong knew that the other party must know him, which made him more confident.
"Oh! Our car." At this moment, Ru Bin's suppressed exclamation came from not far behind. It was obvious that several women saw the miserable state of the Mercedes-Benz business car.
An Rushong ignored them. He stood in front of the jeep, slowly touched his pockets, and finally took out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket, took out a cigarette, and put it in his mouth.
"Ding!"
He heard the sound of a lighter burning beside him. It turned out that Luo Minzhi had come over at some point and lit his cigarette for him at just the right moment.
While waiting for the cigarette to be lit, An Rushong took another slow breath, then raised his hand, turned his palm over, and knocked on the hood of the jeep with the knuckles of his bent index and middle fingers. Then, he gestured to the corporal in the driver's seat to get out of the car.
The corporal with the bowl-cut hair was now wearing a flat-top camouflage training cap. After seeing An Rushong's gesture, he obviously hesitated for a moment, and finally spread his hands forward with a helpless look on his face, but still obediently pushed the door and got out of the car.
The corporal got off the car and took off his hat, twisted it into a roll, and held it in his right hand. Then he walked over with a smile and asked, "Sir."
"How is Wilder doing lately?" An Rushong asked before the other party could finish his words.
"Oh, the lieutenant colonel is fine," the corporal replied.
"Is this bastard working for Wilder?" An Rushong asked, raising his chin towards Han Chengbi who was not far behind the car.
The corporal instinctively glanced back, then quickly shook his head and said, "Of course not, the lieutenant colonel doesn't know him."
"Okay," An Rusong interrupted the other party again. He smiled and said, "You can go back and tell Wilder that, in my opinion, both he and Major Gracie are my friends. I just don't know if they think so."
After a pause, he continued, "Also, tell Wilder for me that my company has received several secret letters in a row, saying that some of you used the military's email system to smuggle drugs. I hope to use the pop-up system of the company's software to announce this news so as to attract the attention of the country and society. I don't know if this news is accurate and whether it is necessary to push it. Perhaps, Lieutenant Colonel, can give me an answer?"
