After inquiring about the information from the enthusiastic elder sister and summarizing it, Han Chu extracted several useful pieces of information.
First of all, the villagers in Shilitun are not immigrants, but have lived there a long time ago. This village has existed for decades, since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Therefore, no matter how big the money laundering organization is, it cannot be that it started to plant stakes in Country C from that time.
Secondly, although Shilitun is an old village, it is certain that it has secrets. Over the years, marriages in other nearby villages have established countless in-law relationships with each other, and it is common for them to travel frequently, but only Shilitun has not exported a single girl to the surrounding areas. Most of the villagers' marriages were either internal, or they had to find foreigners who didn't like to have close friendship with them as much as they did... So after so many years, no one in the surrounding villages knew the local situation.
"They are locals, but I can be sure that they are indeed the downline of that organization, or at least have a cooperative relationship with the other party." Han Chu frowned and thought for a while, then turned to Ye Shuang for advice: "What possibility do you think it is?"
Ye Shuang thought about it seriously: "I think local gangs are more likely."
"That's cooperation." Han Chu nodded: "It is indeed possible."
After reaching an agreement, Han Chu turned the steering wheel and drove back along the original road. Ye Shuang looked out the window at the familiar scenery on both sides of the road and wondered: "Where are you going, Brother Han?"
"Go back to Shilitun."
Ye Shuang was choked, and after calming down, she tried to tactfully advise: "... That's it, I think so. We just went there at about noon, and we turned back not long after lunch. Not to mention that we were originally there. Just pay attention to the people from outside the village. Even if you don't pay attention, I guess they have definitely not forgotten our faces... "
Han Chu glanced over and said, "Do you know the gang's industrial chain?"
"..." I don't understand at all! !
She's not in this business, so how could she possibly know what people do to make money
Of course, I have heard of some in TV novels, but those are derived from life and higher than life. "Any similarity is purely coincidental." In other words, at least half of it is nonsense. So is this information still credible
Ye Shuang looked at Han Chu depressed and speechless. The latter sighed inaudibly and shook his head: "You and Su Zheng have known each other for so long. Did you just learn to open locks from her? There are three different professions, every profession There are entrances to every industry. If you want to move easily, sometimes it is inevitable to break into these people's circles in the shortest possible time. To take a step back, you must at least understand them to know where you can attack them... "
"I just plan to hang out casually and wait until I find a good man to get married in a few years and then wash my hands of myself." Ye Shuang was extremely sincere.
This time Han Chu also choked. It was the first time he heard such a declaration that he did not seek improvement: "... In short, let's use a company as an example. Have you ever seen a company that only accepts one transaction at a time? After completing this Did you just start contacting the person who placed the order?"
"That's not true." Ye Shuang touched his chin: "In business, of course the more orders the better."
Han Chu nodded: "Similarly, if a gang has to feed so many people, it is impossible to do just one business at a time. Now let's look beyond the confines of arms storage. Shilitun is a suspected gang den, so purposeful. There are only two types of people who go there, one is looking for trouble and the other is making a fortune."
Ye Shuang suddenly realized: "Brother Han is going to find Master Wu to make a fortune?" Then he said with great interest, "What kind of business are we in the pornography, gambling and drug industry?"
Han Chu looked at her: "Which profession are you most familiar with?"
"I am from a good family, but I am not familiar with any profession." Ye Shuang quickly defended himself.
"No." Han Chu sneered: "At least you are good at stealing."
"..." That's right, she even forgot that she had activated such a skill.
Han Chu's car had not driven very far before, but now he didn't have to slow down and pay attention to the roadside, so the time to get back would naturally be shorter.
After entering Shilitun for the second time, I really felt several vague glances coming from around me. The idlers were still strolling around, drinking and chatting in the same places. Although they seemed quite leisurely, they clearly had divided areas of responsibility. They could walk freely within a certain range but would not go outside the area.
Han Chu parked the car at the original location and walked to a grocery store with Ye Shuang, turning a blind eye to the traffic.
There was only one lady eating melon seeds in the grocery store who was watching TV. Han Chu stood in front of the counter, knocked on the glass cabinet and said, "I'm here to visit Master Wu. May I ask where he lives?"
The aunt spit out the melon seed skin and looked Han Chu up and down: "The fifth master is not at home, who are you?" Then she said angrily without waiting for Han Chu's answer: "Want to buy something? A bottle of soda?"
Ye Shuang was happy: "Auntie, you know if someone else is at home in your own shop? Is the Fifth Master your man?"
The aunt was originally impatient, saying, "I don't want to bother with you because I don't have any business." When she heard this, her face turned pale and she exclaimed, "What are you talking about, little girl?"
Han Chu had just opened his mouth and someone had taken away his lines. Now that he was watching the plot, the style of the painting had changed instantly. He was helpless: "Xiao Shuang, don't make trouble!" Then he explained to the aunt in a polite but cold tone: " We were introduced to the Fifth Master by the Eighth Master, and we want to buy some odds and ends with the Fifth Master, but we don’t know the market here, so we need to ask Auntie to give us directions.”
The meaning of this is very simple. There is no soda in the aunt's counter at all. Asking for business is probably a jianghu incision. Han Chu doesn't know the incision and can't get the code. But he knows the eighth master, so he wants to do business with the fifth master through a favor...
Master Ba is the master thief in Su Zheng who had two fingers cut off. He is a well-known old man in country C, but not everyone may know him... Han Chu doesn't need them to know him, he just needs them to know that he is also on the road. Just people.
The aunt's face became much better after Han Chu's words, but she still couldn't help but glared at Ye Shuang: "Little girl, don't be so arrogant. Are you looking for the fifth master? Go ask Xiaoshan from the Jingwu Hall next door. .”
Jingwu Hall refers to the chess and card room. To put it bluntly, it is a place where mahjong is played. Han Chu thanked him and took Ye Shuang to another direction. After a while, he found the real owner in the mahjong parlor filled with smoke and dim lights.
When the two of them arrived, a young man at the counter had just finished listening to the conversation of the idle man next to him. He dismissed him with a smile and then took the initiative to say hello to the two who came: "Come with me, you two. I heard about the matter. The fifth master is here." Upstairs." (To be continued)
