At 8 a.m. the next day, the office of the Special Task Force of the Hong Kong Police Force.
Wu Xiumin handed the interrogation report to Zhao Yu. After an interrogation last night, the four people confessed to the murders of Fan Bowei and Huang Lican, as well as attacking the container yard guards and stealing banknotes.
It turned out that these four people were all single dealers from Mahazaya. They were the subordinates of a famous drug lord in Mahazaya. They came to Xiangjiang this time for the US dollars hidden in the bronze Buddha.
The entire story of this crime can be traced back to a coup that occurred in Mahazaya not long ago.
Mahazaya is an independent archipelago country in Southeast Asia. Because of its special geographical location, many of the local islands are involved with exclusive traders from all over the world. It has always been known as the Golden Triangle on the sea. Every year, a large number of unique products come from Outflow there.
Moreover, the local government has been notorious for colluding with the monopoly traffickers for a long time.
However, not long ago, Mahazaya's reformist faction suddenly emerged and launched a coup in his capital, overthrowing the old faction in one fell swoop and establishing a new government.
After that, the new government was determined to avenge its past humiliation, and soon joined forces with the military of multiple countries to launch an unprecedented joint crackdown on the drug lords hiding in Mahazaya.
Among them, there was a man named Polo Ahong, who was the leader of the drug lord there. He had a premonition that his situation was over, so in order to preserve his strength, he cast all the drug money he had accumulated over the years into the bronze Buddha, and made the bronze Buddha Arrive at Xiangjiang.
Later, he began to take his family and prepare to sneak to Xiangjiang, find the bronze Buddha, and continue to live the life of a wealthy man.
However, before he could escape unscathed, the coalition army attacked his lair. He and his family all died in the raid, but these four men survived by luck.
The four people got together to discuss and thought that this was an excellent opportunity to make a fortune. As long as they could find the four giant Buddhas, they could get more money than they could spend in ten lifetimes.
However, they were just ordinary subordinates of Polo Ahong. Although they participated in the transshipment of banknotes and knew that the Buddha statues were sent to Xiangjiang, they knew nothing about where the Buddha statues were specifically installed or transported to.
Moreover, the most troublesome thing is that there must be other subordinates of Polo Ahong who survived, and those people will also pay attention to the Buddha statue, so they must strike while the iron is hot and act as soon as possible.
So, after all the hard work, the four people finally smuggled themselves to Xiangjiang.
However, when they went to the Xiangjiang Cargo Terminal, they were dumbfounded. With so many containers, they had no idea where the Buddha statues were placed.
They had no choice but to calm down and inquire step by step.
Finally, through various inquiries, the four people finally learned further information. They learned that Fan Bowei, director of the Customs Cargo Department, could help them find the location of the Buddha statue, and Huang Lican of the terminal container yard could help them transfer banknotes at the terminal.
At first, they just wanted to use the simplest method and use force to hold Fan Bowei and Huang Lican hostage at the same time, forcing them to find the location of the Buddha statue and transport the contents inside the Buddha statue.
However, these four people are quite smart. They know that transferring the banknotes inside the Buddha statue will not be completed in a short time. If they just coerce these two people, it will be easy to expose the secret.
Therefore, as early as that time, they had already made murderous intentions and did not want to leave anyone alive.
However, they soon thought that even killing the person would not work, because after the killing, the police would immediately investigate the deceased's work situation and quickly turn their attention to customs or the dock.
In this way, they will steal the chicken but lose the rice.
So, at the critical moment, one of the people named Mi Yang suddenly had a plan and thought of the idea of Gumantong.
Because two of the Gumantong serial murders occurred in Mahazaya, their memories are still fresh and very profound.
Mi Yang believes that if they can disguise the murder scene as the Gumanthong murder case, they can divert the attention of the police and play a role in attacking the east and attacking the west.
Moreover, when they investigated Huang Lican, they also found that Huang Lican had the habit of supporting Gumantong, which they could take advantage of to achieve their own goals.
Mi Yang's idea was immediately unanimously approved by his friends, so a disguised Gumantong murder case happened!
Not to mention, if Zhao Yu hadn't discovered the truth in the end and grasped the key points of the case, he might have tricked them.
At that time, they had already found the location of the container containing the Buddha statue through Fan Bowei's system query, and then used Huang Lican's pass to get to Pier 6 without any obstruction.
Moreover, they had anticipated in advance that they would not be able to transport the Buddha statue together, so they prepared cutting tools in advance to cut the Buddha statue into pieces.
However, they finally ignored the crucial point, which is their greed!
According to the criminal's personal confession, it only took them more than 20 minutes to cut open a Buddha statue and take away the banknotes inside.
If they could stop in time and drive the car away at that time, they could just avoid the roundup by Zhao Yu and others.
It's a pity that people are so weak. Looking at the unfilled pickup truck, the four of them started cutting the second Buddha statue without any hesitation...
As a result, their greed led to their ultimate destruction. When they realized it again, they regretted it too much!
"Awesome, awesome!" At this time, Inspector Cheng Jiajun came to the office and praised Zhao Yu and everyone, "You are indeed a detective!
"That means we met you, otherwise, we would be in big trouble!
"Hahaha... It's fine now," Inspector Cheng said with a happy face, "Not only did he prove that the two cases were not related to the Gumantong murder case, but he also helped us crack a major smuggling case worth hundreds of millions!
"Detective Zhao, you are really indispensable! Tomorrow night, we will hold a press conference and celebration party at the police station, and then the Chief Superintendent will also..."
Zhao Yu was not in the mood to listen to Inspector Cheng's plain talk. He walked to the whiteboard and turned his eyes to the third whiteboard.
Through the interrogation of the four criminals, he now knows that Mia's death has nothing to do with them!
These four people claimed that they had no idea who Mia was
Moreover, they had been preparing for the Buddha statue that night and had no energy to pay attention to anything else.
Therefore, Mia's death should have nothing to do with these two Gumantong imitation murder cases.
In this case…
Zhao Yu frowned, an ominous premonition rising in his heart. If Mia's death really had nothing to do with these two cases, then... what else could he have died for
Could it be...
Could it be...
Suddenly, Zhao Yu's heart moved, and he suddenly recalled the conversation he had with Mia. At that time, Zhao Yu gave him several directions for investigating the case.
Zhao Yu could still remember that Mia's brows stretched after hearing this, as if she had thought of something.
Could it be that... the cause of his death is related to the real Gumantong murder case? !
