The enemy is cunning, and it will take a lot of effort to find him.
The next day, Xing Baohua not only had to go to the construction site, but also to go fishing by the river.
Fishing by the river was Captain Han's idea. He deduced that dangerous elements were hiding in the development zone; otherwise, the other party wouldn't have waited for Xing Baohua's convoy before it crossed the river bridge.
The development zone has a complex structure and many shantytowns still exist due to the obvious traces of the past. This environment is also suitable for hiding. Based on the assessment, the place where the dangerous elements are hiding is very close to the bridge.
You could let Xing Baohua try it out by the river; with his protective gear, no one else can compare.
Xing Baohua agreed to go fishing by the river, but demanded a set of bomb-proof equipment, the kind worn by bomb disposal experts.
Captain Han said, "How can you possibly catch anything dressed like that?"
They're not stupid. They just let Xing Baohua wander around the riverbank, cast his fishing rod a few times, and then go to the car to rest. They've already found a stand-in of similar build to help him fish.
How could we let Boss Xing take such a big risk? What if there's a good sniper rifle on the other side of the river and Boss Xing gets killed? The country would lose billions in tax revenue!
After this explanation, Xing Baohua reluctantly agreed.
Who knew that the very next day, Xing Baohua had just put on his bulletproof vest, helmet, and climbed onto the big red flag.
Captain Han's car had already arrived at his doorstep. After getting out of the car, Xing Baohua looked at the other person walking towards him with a puzzled expression.
"Has the operation changed?" Xing Baohua asked, inviting Captain Han into the house.
"Hmm!" Captain Han nodded in response, glancing at Xing Baohua's bloated figure, which looked like a ball.
How many layers are you wearing?!
Two items!
“Take it off! We arrested that girl in the middle of the night last night. We've been interrogating her for a while now, and the situation is basically clear. We've also found out about the three accomplices, who have already scattered and escaped. It's only a matter of time before they're caught.”
With Captain Han saying that, the danger was considered over.
The three accomplices all lived in the development zone and had their souls corrupted by money and the desire to go abroad.
These three people all shared a common characteristic: they were all single and ordinary workers. Their lives were actually quite unremarkable, but they were targeted by a man and a woman in the shantytown.
According to the girl's confession last night, finding single men like them is very simple: they chat with them by chance, then get to know them better, and show them the power of money by being generous.
Using the allure of a wonderful life abroad, promising easy money, a life of comfort, and freedom to go anywhere.
There was also a craze for going abroad during this period. It was very difficult for ordinary people to go out and see the world. In addition, some overseas Chinese who returned to China said they wanted to invest and start businesses in China and asked people to work with them. In this way, they became fictitious company employees and were paid 500 yuan a month.
The three of them only earned a little over eighty yuan a month. Upon hearing this, their eyes turned red with envy. Everyone said that the salary for working in a foreign company was high, but none of them earned this much.
They easily tamed the three men into agents, provided the house where they were hiding, and even the car they used that day was borrowed by one of them through connections, with the excuse that a foreign company boss was in Shanghai for an inspection and didn't have a means of transportation.
The three of them spent a lot of money just borrowing the car, but unfortunately, the car was totaled, and the people who borrowed it also suffered. Later, when the three of them realized something was wrong, it was difficult for them to back out.
The woman didn't threaten them. She said that she would give each of them $200,000 after the mission was accomplished, but now she was giving each of them $5,000 to help them complete the task. In return, a ship would come to pick them up and take them abroad.
The three men had taken the money and now had something to look forward to. There was no need for threats; they already knew the consequences.
Just assisting them with the initial work would probably take at least ten or eight years. If they went abroad, with an extra $200,000, they could live happily ever after.
This amount of money is an astronomical figure in their eyes; they feel like they have so much money that they can't spend it all.
"If someone helped them, how did they find the girl?"
"There were many witnesses to the bridge incident. Although they did not know the specifics, the public talked and speculated among themselves, causing a lot of trouble. When the three people who helped heard that someone was being arrested, they were all scared and ran away. No one paid attention to anyone else and left the girl alone."
We mobilized the local community, showing them a sketch of the girl. Since she needed to eat, she was recognized while buying food, which alerted the local police station. That's how our arrest went so smoothly.
After Captain Han finished explaining, the case was considered closed. The crisis for Xing Baohua and his employees was also resolved.
As for whether the danger still exists, it's uncertain, because these kinds of hiring usually involve one or two groups.
Xing Baohua asked, "Besides these, is there anything else useful?"
"Nothing for now. Finding the danger is our top priority. It's alright, we'll interrogate them slowly over the next few days. I don't expect their later confessions to be of much value. After all, they're paid to do this," Captain Han said.
"Where did the TNT come from? If it were gunpowder, that would be easier to explain, but that stuff is strictly controlled. How did it get in? Did our people provide it?" Xing Baohua was still a little worried. Its power was too easy to conceal. Otherwise, finding the source would keep them on edge.
According to their statements, they simply went to the address to pick up the goods. They had no idea where the goods came from or who placed them there.
"You don't even know how much is left?" Xing Baohua asked in surprise.
"I don't know. Our coastline is too long, and there are bound to be oversights. The next step is definitely to focus on finding the source of the danger. Overall, it's a great victory that we were able to solve the case so quickly this time."
The case has been investigated, but the follow-up matters will certainly not be so simple, and Xing Baohua still needs to be careful.
After seeing Captain Han off, one of the guards said, "Boss, should we demolish your temporary office or not?"
