Chapter 568: Chapter 515: Meat Bun (Vote for Monthly Tickets)

"Ma Wanjun had actually been turned by the Huang Li gang, sending them messages day after day."

When Jiang Yuan returned to the meeting room, Liu Jinghui first informed Jiang Yuan of the results.

Jiang Yuan was a bit surprised, "He admitted it just like that?"

"We first interrogated Li Jianfang, who hadn’t confessed earlier. After a couple of warnings, he obediently spilled the beans. Then we confirmed it with Huang Li. Huang Li was still a bit hopeful."

Huang Li and Li Jianfang could be considered the bosses of the Huang Li gang.

According to the information gained from the interrogation, Huang Li and Li Jianfang had deep-seated plans. Huang Li was constantly optimizing his organization structure, always building up his core team, and putting members’ loyalty first.

From the subordinates’ descriptions, Huang Li was bold and murderous, a bit Cao Cao-esque. He always rewarded his subordinates with astonishing bonuses, the likes of which ordinary drug dealers would never see. On the other hand, once he suspected someone, that person usually did not get a chance to defend themselves and would quickly disappear from sight, the so-called ’precipitous cliff-style relationship termination’.

Li Jianfang, on the other hand, was happy to spend time on technical research. He also managed the basement production, always staying in the basement, rarely interacting with members of other departments. In fact, his contact with Huang Li was also mainly focused on the volume of shipments, working hours, pollution control, raw materials, and such.

If it had not been for the police raid, the two would have taken another step up and would have likely returned to the city, reverted to farming, or perhaps even gone abroad.

After being arrested, Huang Li and Li Jianfang’s survival strategies were also different.

Li Jianfang was relatively weak and, knowing he wouldn’t live, cooperated with the police, hoping to leave something for his people and to have a better time in custody, then to delay the execution as long as possible.

Huang Li, believing he held the main information of the Huang Li gang, confessed bit by bit, to delay the trial and execution.

As for his wealth, he seemed to have stopped caring about it a long time ago.

Ma Wanjun’s identity was also viewed by Huang Li as a bargaining chip. However, because Li Jianfang knew about it too, it was cheaply confessed.

"I didn’t expect that there would be espionage even between two drug trafficking gangs," Jiang Yuan clicked his tongue and shook his head.

Liu Jinghui’s hair stood on end, "Wasn’t it you who cracked the case?"

"I was guessing... deduced it at the time, it always felt a bit shaky," Jiang Yuan mused.

Deduction shaky?

Liu Jinghui’s temper flared up instantly, his hair practically igniting.

Song Tiancheng then asked curiously, "So how did you deduce it?"

Liu Jinghui’s attention also shifted.

Jiang Yuan could only concoct a story, "At first I wasn’t sure either, Ma Wanjun is a mid-level manager at the chemical plant, everyone else obediently stayed inside the plant, only he came out, which shows he’s restless. Moreover, compared to the Jianyuan Group, the Huang Li gang was obviously at a disadvantage. Initially, they might all have been considered downstream factories of Jianyuan, and without Jianyuan wanting to get their hands dirty, they wouldn’t have had this chance. So they definitely yearned for information on Jianyuan."

Liu Jinghui frowned as he listened. From his perspective, this wasn’t deduction, at most it was just a line that stated "Given: XXX," and what he wanted to know was the proof process.

At that point, Jiang Yuan spread his hands, "Anyway, I looked around, found evidence, and dragged him back here."

"Too hasty!" Liu Jinghui was speechless; to think that you uncovered a flaw this way, can only say that the organization of Jianyuan Company was not tight enough, and supervision was not comprehensive...

"I didn’t think that much," Jiang Yuan said with a smile.

Liu Jinghui put on a serious face and said, "Actually, you didn’t intend to solve the case through deduction. If you had been meticulous in your deductions, there should have been clues to grab onto. Like you said, Ma Wanjun is unconventional, but drug dealers being unconventional is the norm. Ma Wanjun should be considered a bit foolishly bold, and also lustful and greedy."

Liu Jinghui continued, "The Huang Li gang just took advantage of Ma Wanjun’s weakness and turned him. Of course, you didn’t know this before, but Ma Wanjun sneaking out was a hint in itself."

Liu Jinghui went on, "But to truly deduct, you need to look at what’s stored in his USB. Photos and a few videos, videos are more convincing than photos, especially for drug trafficking gangs, they definitely trust videos more, so we need to see what was said in the video first."

"The video was of the Jianyuan gang’s production line. Who would care about Jianyuan gang’s production line? The police surely don’t, we just need to confirm this place is a drug factory, a photo is enough. It was unnecessary for him to risk taking a video."

"The junkies definitely don’t care about the production, nor do they have the right to care. In recent years, the supply of drugs has been shrinking, they should be glad to have any, no one cares about how you produce it."

"In the end, only those in the same industry really cared about this production line. The most likely suspects... could it be the Huang Li gang? Of course, it’s also possible that he sold it to more than one party..."

Liu Jinghui’s face darkened as he spoke. It was difficult to prove this point. Huang and Li probably didn’t know if Ma Wanjun had sold himself to a third party, and it was unlikely that Ma Wanjun would voluntarily confess. Even the existence of a third party was uncertain at this point.

On this topic, Liu Jinghui stopped short of going into further detail. Expanding the scope of the investigation indefinitely was not feasible. Just taking down Jianyuan was already a formidable task for them.

Song Tiancheng listened to Liu Jinghui’s reasoning and his eyes widened; he even began to look at Liu Jinghui with newfound respect.

This meticulous reasoning, starting from the type of videos and photos in the USB drive, led to logical conclusions. Song Tiancheng felt it was approaching the ceiling of deductive reasoning.

Even among the experts specially invited by the ministry for their deductive prowess, this was probably the standard.

However, Song Tiancheng’s attention did not linger for long.

He came from the ministry seeking grounded strategies, speaking a language everyone could understand, rather than crafting a highbrow deductive narrative. No local criminal police captain would accept reasoning without evidence.

"What are we going to arrest next today?" Jiang Yuan didn’t want to continue discussing theories either.

Arrests were a topic everyone had recently come to enjoy.

Liu Jinghui also chuckled and said, "Today we plan to round up all the security guards from their parking lots, as well as the small leaders who managed these guards."

Jiang Yuan nodded in agreement.

The parking lot security at Jianyuan was tasked with the dirty work. Initially, Yuan Jiansheng might not have wanted to keep them so dirty, but as his control waned, these physically capable units became all too useful.

Liu Jinghui’s strategy was simple: arrest these men, lock up those with evidence, and those without evidence would probably be easy to interrogate.

At the same time, it would cut down some of Jianyuan’s fangs, to lessen their potential resistance.

...

Jianyuan.

Yuan Jiansheng, seated in a wheelchair, appeared at the chemical plant.

Yuan Yushan pushed the wheelchair, standing tall and straight, her Chanel outfit lending her a formal air.

Both of them wore solemn expressions, while the gang members standing opposite them seemed even more dejected.

"Buck up, don’t be afraid," Yuan Jiansheng coughed twice and said, "The current situation is not clear yet, let’s just focus on our own tasks for now."

The gang members nodded obediently.

"Alright, get back to work," Yuan Jiansheng said. Speaking had become laborious for him, and he abstained from meetings unless his attendance was essential.

At that moment, someone stepped forward and said, "Ma Wanjun has disappeared."

Yuan Jiansheng and Yuan Yushan frowned at the news.

"Where did he disappear?" Yuan Yushan asked.

"Outside the factory area, he seems to have left the premises," the response from the member reporting the incident slightly eased their tension.

"Have you checked to see if he ran off on his own?" Yuan Yushan asked another question.

"We haven’t checked. Should we go out and look?" Not everyone was feeling so pressured; some were quite well-defended.

Yuan Yushan slowly shook her head.

Sending people out to search now would be a futile effort, throwing good money after bad.
