Chapter 515 Civil strife
The Elephant Gang guards in the corridor looked at each other and made way as instructed.
Chen Chuan walked in along the smooth floor covered with intricate colorful patterns. He had now entered the second stage, and after learning some techniques, he was no longer as aggressive as he was in the first stage. He had restrained himself when he met Deng Xin earlier.
But when he came over just now, he deliberately released his spirit and field. Under the impact of spiritual power, ordinary people could not bear it and would lose consciousness immediately.
This action clearly told the people inside that he had arrived, otherwise he would have rushed in all at once and no one would have been able to react.
When he entered the corridor, he glanced around and saw four old men and a middle-aged man dressed as Sheni people standing there.
The Elephant Gang is based on clan ties. These old men are not only the veterans of the gang, but also the elders of the younger generation of the gang. The middle-aged man is very strong. He has a jade earring on his ear, a whip in his hand, and a strong aura.
There were more than twenty guards around him, holding their guns and looking at him nervously.
In the middle of the field, a young man was tied up and kneeling on the ground, with bulging muscles on his body. Even though he was kneeling, his aura was more powerful than most people in the field. The first thing people noticed was that this should be Tu Nai.
A tall, elderly man stepped out, his words polite yet cautious. "I didn't expect Captain Chen from the Processing Bureau to be here. May I ask what advice Captain Chen has for our Elephant Gang?"
Chen Chuan was not surprised that he knew him. If the gangs in the central city didn't know him, a fighter with a position in the Bureau, they wouldn't be where they are today.
This person spoke Dashun dialect very fluently, without any trace of accent. Although the Sheni people lived in the central city, they formed their own circle and were quite closed, so they still maintained their own language. However, for the same reason, they were despised and excluded by other people in the central city.
In contrast, the people from overseas islands almost all speak Dashun dialect, and can easily quote all kinds of allusions and idioms from the old times. If you ignore their clothes and habits, they are almost no different from Dashun people. This is a great advantage in the central city.
He asked, "What's your name?"
The old man said, "Tu Man."
Chen Chuan checked the pre-recorded information and found that this person should be Tu Ge's brother, responsible for some daily affairs of the gang.
He said, "Mr. Tu Man, I've been asked by the bureau to track down an important clue. I suspect your leader's death is related to the Swordfish Gang and the Ferris Wheel Company behind it, so I need to talk to the person in charge of your gang."
As soon as he said this, there was an uproar around him. Wasn't it said that it was because of Tu Nai's negligence that he took the wrong medicine and killed the old man?
It turns out to be the Swordfish Gang and the Ferris Wheel?
This explanation seems more acceptable.
Even Tu Nai, who was kneeling there, suddenly shrugged and turned to look at Chen Chuan, while the middle-aged man came up and whipped him on the back, shouting angrily: "Kneel down!"
Tu Nai slowly knelt down again.
Tu Man said in a deep voice, "Captain Chen, are you saying that the Swordfish Gang and Ferris Wheel are behind this?"
Chen Chuan said, "I'm investigating. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here today. The processing bureau received the news in advance and was just trying to understand the situation. I didn't expect that something had already happened here."
The middle-aged man came up and said, "Captain Chen, do you have any concrete evidence for this matter?"
Chen Chuan glanced at him and didn't answer.
"Tu Han!" Tu Man scolded him, "Captain Chen is the executive captain of the processing bureau. He won't speak without a clear clue."
They are not a powerful gang like the Tianshu Gang that has a large number of fighters, nor are they backed by the Ferris Wheel Company like the Swordfish Gang. They have no backing and were originally composed of a group of foreign employees.
Although the young people in the gang today disdain the authorities, these old-school people are still afraid of them.
He also felt that if Chen Chuan had not been looking for clues, there would have been no need for him to come to the Elephant Gang, so what he said was still very credible.
Chen Chuan looked at Tu Nai below and said, "Did you think that he was responsible for your gang leader's death?"
The middle-aged man said loudly: "He was responsible for the old man's medication, but the old man died after taking the medicine he gave him. Of course we have to track him down."
Chen Chuan said: "Of course I have to investigate. I need to take the person away and get to the bottom of this matter."
This was the simplest way to deal with it. He didn't even think about making excuses for Tu Nai. That was useless. He just had to take the man out. Of course, he could also check the situation by the way.
Tu Man hesitated for a moment.
The middle-aged man hurriedly looked at Tu Man and reminded him, "Uncle Man, this is an internal matter of our gang." Investigating clues is investigating clues, but they don't want the bureau to intervene, as this will leave trouble in the future.
Chen Chuan said calmly, "Sir, you may have made a mistake. I am only informing you, not asking for your opinion."
"You..." The middle-aged man looked angry.
Tu Man reached out to stop him and said to Chen Chuan in a deep voice, "Captain Chen, we're giving you face. You can take the person away, but we hope the handling bureau will give us a definite result."
In fact, it is impossible not to give face. Chen Chuan standing here is too intimidating. When he came in just now, almost no one outside could resist him. He has a keen eye and has no doubt that Chen Chuan can easily knock down everyone present and take them away.
Besides, the other party can come in once or a second time. They really don’t want to face such a person, not to mention that there is a bureau behind the other party.
Chen Chuan said: "You will know the result."
Tu Man looked at the kneeling Tu Nai and said, "Tu Nai, did you hear that? Go back with Captain Chen and investigate thoroughly. If you can't figure it out, don't come back."
Tu Nai had been listening to their conversation. He suddenly stood up, yanked his arms, and the iron shackles broke free. He took a breath and said, "I'll follow Captain Chen. I'll find a way to find out the cause of my grandfather's death."
Chen Chuan said: "Then let's go."
"Wait a moment."
Tu Man called out again, walked up and said, "Captain Chen, can we have a few words alone?"
Chen Chuan looked at him and said, "Okay."
Tu Man gestured and led Chen Chuan to an open space nearby. When they were farther away from the crowd, he said to Chen Chuan, "Captain Chen, I actually believe this is not something Tu Nai can do.
Brother Tu Ge's health has not been very good. He had been preparing for the succession of gang leaders. He was originally planning to hand over the position to Tu Nai, otherwise he would not have been responsible for daily medicines. How could Tu Nai harm him?
It's just that Tu Nai is so stubborn that once someone instigated him, he insisted that this matter was his responsibility.
Tu Nai is very prestigious among young people. It is difficult to deal with him or not. I think this is the purpose of the Swordfish Gang and the Ferris Wheel Company, so it is a good thing that Captain Chen took him away. I also hope that the handling bureau can investigate this matter thoroughly.
I know the Bureau doesn't want to see the Swordfish Gang dominate Yinglu District, and we, the Elephant Gang, are still of some use to you."
Chen Chuan thought that this old man was very clear-headed. He understood what he meant. He hoped that the Bureau of Processing could clear Tu Naizhen's name and allow him to come back and inherit the position of gang leader. This would stabilize the gang. He also implicitly expressed his willingness to cooperate with the Bureau of Processing.
“It will all work itself out,” he said.
"Thank you, Captain Chen."
At this moment, there was suddenly a burst of noise outside, as if many people were shouting. A gang guard used the boundary pass to make contact, and then his face changed.
He looked up and said, "Tu Liu is saying outside that it was Tu Nai and the Swordfish Gang who poisoned the old man and killed him. He said earlier that he would lead people to seek revenge on the Swordfish Gang, and many people have been instigated by him."
"This Tu Liu!" The faces of the old men present were filled with shock and anger.
Chen Chuan looked outside and it seemed that the situation had changed.
Although his movements were fast, there were others who moved even faster.
This is most likely a complete plan, to kill Tu Ge first, and then incite everyone and encourage them to avenge the gang leader.
The timing was very good. By taking advantage of the grief and anger of the Elephant Gang members, it would be easy to incite them to attack the Swordfish Gang.
It can be imagined that the Swordfish Gang must have been prepared in advance, just waiting for them to come, so that they don't have to take the initiative to cause trouble later.
He turned around and said, "Mr. Tu Man, things are connecting so quickly. It seems there's something fishy about Tu Liu. You need to make a decision. But quickly. If you're late, no one can save your Xiang Gang. Or... I can make the decision for you."
Tu Man's face changed, and he quickly exchanged opinions with several old men behind him. He knew that once the gang members were incited, they would be like a vehicle that had lost control, and would inevitably rush around until they were smashed to pieces.
The other elders couldn't see too far, but they knew it was very dangerous and they couldn't let the gang members do whatever they wanted. They also became extremely wary of Tu Liu.
As the biggest conservatives in the gang, they don't want to see themselves being coerced by those below them, as that would mean a reduction in their influence and a shift in gang power.
So several people quickly reached a consensus.
Tu Man walked back and said, "Captain Chen, can you do this?"
Chen Chuan said bluntly: "Tell me where he is."
Tu Man immediately had someone point out his location to Jie Ping and sent him a contact number. "Captain Chen, I'll leave Tu Liu to you. We'll handle the follow-up matters."
Tu Nai stepped forward and said, "Captain Chen, Tu Liu is very powerful, and he has many people around him. I will go with you."
Tu Man said to him: "Tu Nai, you can't show up at this time, stay here!"
Chen Chuan said, "Mr. Tu Man is right. If you show up at this time, it will only complicate things. I can go alone."
