These words startled Du Qian so much that he almost lost his footing. He took two quick steps and said repeatedly, "Team leader, even if I had the biggest guts in the world, I wouldn't dare to smuggle weapons. These merchants mostly deal in controlled goods, like medicines and electrical supplies. These things are easy to get in Nanjing, but they'd be worth several times, or even ten times, more inland!"
At this point, Du Qian's heart stirred. Perhaps this was an opportunity. He had encountered a great calamity this time, and his backer, Deputy Director Han of the Police Department, who usually accepted huge bribes from him, stood idly by at this critical moment and didn't even let him in the door. It was clear that he had abandoned him.
Du Qian's hatred was boundless. The two of them had broken off relations. Even if he survived this ordeal, Deputy Director Han would probably still make a move against him. How could he sit idly by and watch him control the two treasure troves of Ping'an Port and Kangyuankou? He was afraid that he would lose his position as the director of the Xicheng Police Bureau. How could he be willing to hand over the empire he had painstakingly built up over the years?
Thinking of this, he bowed slightly to Ning Zhiheng and said in a low voice, "However, this subordinate does know a little clue."
"Oh! Tell me!" Ning Zhiheng immediately became interested, not expecting that Du Qian actually had some ulterior motives.
"Han Xingping, the deputy director of the police headquarters, has been smuggling all kinds of scarce and controlled goods on a rampant basis over the years, relying on his power. The number of smuggled items transported by his companies is countless. I suspect that there are even important electronic materials such as weapons and radios. As long as...!"
"Alright!" Ning Zhiheng waved his hand to interrupt him. He thought it was some important clue, but it turned out that Du Qian had some ulterior motive and wanted to get rid of his old employer.
Ning Zhiheng was very perceptive and understood the matter almost instantly.
He didn't have time to catch corrupt officials. There were so many corrupt officials in the Republic of China government; almost every official was corrupt. If he really wanted to catch them all, how could he possibly catch them all? To put it bluntly, he himself was a corrupt official.
If we do this, we will end up making enemies of the whole world, and we will likely face great difficulties and be unable to move forward in the future!
"Du Qian, put away your little schemes. You're not qualified to use this knife in my hand to kill someone!" Ning Zhiheng shouted sternly.
"Yes, yes! How could my little scheme possibly escape your notice, team leader?" Du Qian was immediately terrified.
Commissioner Shao is right! This Team Leader Ning looks young, but he has sharp eyes. He saw through me the moment I opened my mouth.
However, Du Qian was a seasoned official and well-versed in the ways of accumulating wealth. He knew that as long as Team Leader Ning had his eye on this source of income, he could use it as a pretext to gradually secure his position and eventually get close to this powerful figure!
"However, team leader, I do have a lead here. I wonder if you'd be interested!" Du Qian knew what Team Leader Ning and his intelligence department were interested in, so he had to cater to their interests and perform well to demonstrate his value in order to get Team Leader Ning to help him out!
"Speak up, say what's useful!" Ning Zhiheng nodded in agreement, wanting to see how much Du Qian had up his sleeve.
Du Qian finally stopped hiding his true intentions and said, "Team Leader Ning, about that friend of mine I mentioned before, Wu Quanjiang, after he fled, his Zhongkang Pharmacy was also shut down. I thought that was the end of it. But just three days ago, I found traces of them again at the Kangyuankou checkpoint!"
"What? Wu Quanjiang has shown up?" Ning Zhiheng was shocked when he heard Du Qian's words. This shouldn't be! Wu Quanjiang has been completely exposed in Nanjing. If he dares to show up again, it's no different from courting death. The underground party shouldn't make such a fatal mistake.
"No, but I've been dealing with Wu Quanjiang for a long time. It was my idea to disguise the trucks he used to transport medicine as military vehicles. I'm very familiar with them, and the drivers are all familiar faces."
Just three days ago, while I was patrolling the checkpoint, I inadvertently spotted one of the drivers again. Although the truck he was driving had changed a lot in appearance and had been repainted, I could still tell that it was one of those old trucks that had been modified.
The person is right, the vehicle is right, which means their transport line is still operating. I wonder if this clue will be of any use to you!
