Yuan Bao rubbed his face vigorously: "You are right, I won't be able to sleep tonight."
This was something I had expected, otherwise I wouldn't have asked Yuan Bao to wait in the car.
Before An Laosan's cargo ship went out to sea, I asked Jiang Lan's father, Captain Jiang, to send someone to intercept the ship.
With my positioning, their ship can't escape at all.
They boarded the ship under the pretext of investigating smuggling.
Although An Laosan and his crew have the procedures for clearing customs, they do not have the procedures for purchasing goods from us. The navy has the right to detain the ship and ask us to explain the situation.
Then the fact that they are exporting our goods will be exposed.
As soon as Yuan Bao and I arrived, we were immediately taken to the cargo ship.
An Lao San and the mayor were already there, both of them looked ashen.
An Lao San got the goods from the city government’s warehouse. Just a few words from here can get the mayor out, so he has to come.
How could the city government warehouse manager release the goods without seeing his signature? They wouldn't take the blame for him.
"Look! Is this your stuff?"
I gave Yuan Bao a look and pretended to turn around with him.
Yuan Bao: "That's not right? We didn't use this ship to transport our exported goods?"
I went straight to the mayor and asked, "Boss! What's going on? The serial number of this batch of goods is the one we're using to participate in the home appliances going to the countryside program."
An Lao San and the mayor were speechless, and whatever they said now was a confession.
Soon, people from the Shencheng Supervision Branch and the Economic Investigation Section of the Police Station arrived together.
As victims, we have to cooperate with the investigation, but of course not in the interrogation room, but in the police chief's office.
This batch of goods was originally intended to be used to distribute home appliances to rural areas, which could be explained in a few words, but it was difficult to explain to the mayor and An Lao San.
We have to assist with the investigation at the police station, and it depends on how the interrogation goes.
Now, the things I asked Yuan Bao to prepare came in handy.
The police chief was stunned: "Boss Zheng, Boss Yuan! Were you prepared for this?"
His face was full of vigilance, as if he thought that what happened tonight was our doing.
"Haha! How is that possible? We're preparing to eat... for tonight's fishing trip. Come and have some with you, Chief of Police. This wine has no alcohol."
I paused deliberately. I didn't admit it on the surface, but it made him more certain of what I was thinking.
At this time, someone came in to report: "Director! Someone from above is here to ask General Zheng to hand over his phone and go to the interrogation room."
I couldn't help asking, "Who's coming up there?"
And hand over your phone?
