afternoon.
Su Tianyu returned to the Coast Guard and attended the task force's seminar.
At the meeting, everyone was in a worried state, because although the trafficker Xiao Kai had been brought back, he had not provided much information at present, including the current situation of the abducted persons and the detailed information of Island No. 7, he was not very clear.
At the head of the conference table, Inspector Cheng's personal condition was also worrying. Since Su Tianyu joined the Marine Police, his urine had turned yellow, his hair had fallen out in clumps, and he had to take health care pills three times a day, fearing that he would have an irregular heartbeat and die suddenly at work.
However, Superintendent Cheng knew that although Su Tianyu had brought him a lot of trouble, he also brought hope to his ordinary political career. Once this case was really solved, he would probably be able to leave the unit where he had worked for half his life.
Superintendent Cheng sat on a chair, holding a cigarette in his right hand and wiping his eye mucus with his left hand. He turned his head and asked Fang Zheng and Su Tianyu, "Family members, this Xu Kai is a backbone of the gang. Is it possible for us to continue to use him as a breakthrough point, such as using his connections in the gang to develop an insider?"
"Director's idea is feasible, and there is a lot of room for maneuver." A drowsy leader nearby immediately praised Chief Inspector Cheng when he heard his words.
Fang Zheng blinked and said in a somewhat speechless tone, "This won't work."
"What do you think?"
"It's very simple. Xu Kai has been arrested. This is something that the human traffickers know. The other party doesn't know whether he is dead or alive, so they must be on guard." Fang Zheng replied briefly: "I have already talked to Xu Kai privately. He said that if a leader of their team gets into trouble, the upper management will transfer all the team members led by the leader and prevent them from participating in the core work. So even if you successfully turn Xiao Kai's henchmen against you, it will be useless. They will not have access to core information."
Superintendent Cheng nodded slowly after hearing this: "It's a difficult problem!"
"This matter is indeed tricky." Whenever Inspector Cheng spoke, someone in the conference room would respond.
"Xiao Su, do you have any other opinions?" Inspector Cheng turned his head and asked again.
Su Tianyu slowly raised his head: "I thought about it. We currently have two things to deal with. First, Wang Zhen hasn't called again yet, but it is foreseeable that he will ask us to exchange hostages in the future. As long as he opens his mouth, we will immediately become passive, because he has more cards. Even if we pretend to change people, we have to go outside the district, which is very risky. Second, although the details of the case are broken, the general direction is still there, that is, the problem of Island No. 7. I think since we don't have too many clues now, we might as well look for this place first, at least to figure out its basic situation."
"What do you think? We should go to District 1?" asked Superintendent Cheng.
"Yes, I can lead the team to Area 1, take a look around the delivery location Xu Kai mentioned, and look for some information about Island No. 7." Su Tianyu nodded.
"That's a solution." Inspector Cheng nodded slowly, "But we need to perfect the details and come up with a plan. We need to ensure the safety of the police officers in the department to the greatest extent possible."
"The Director is right. We must perfect the plan first."
"…!" Su Tianyu glanced at the sleepy leader speechlessly: "Yes, you are all right."
Superintendent Cheng pondered for a while and immediately made a summary: "Then let's do it this way. We will work on three legs: First, Su Tianyu will come up with an investigation plan and then select some team members to investigate the situation on Island No. 7. Second, Team 2 will focus on investigating the disappearance of Fei Pingsheng, the suspect involved in the case. Whether he is dead or alive must be confirmed as soon as possible. Third, the task force must come up with a response plan immediately. If Wang Zhen proposes to exchange hostages, how should we respond..."
The case discussion meeting lasted until 4:30 in the afternoon, and a general direction for the investigation was determined.
…
After the meeting, Su Tianyu left the unit and contacted Yu Mingyuan. The two agreed to meet at Zhannan Snack Street.
In the evening, outside a food stall, Su Tianyu sat on a dirty chair, drinking boiled water while looking down at the information of District 1 Huihong Pharmaceutical.
In fact, Su Tianyu has always had different ideas in his mind. He felt that if he couldn't follow up on Xu Kai, then maybe he could change his approach and secretly investigate Huihong Pharmaceutical.
As one of the investors of Island No. 7, this group must be deeply involved, and the police units in Longcheng have never had a head-on conflict with them. Psychologically speaking, their defenses are weaker.
Su Tianyu used a mobile phone app to constantly look through Huihong Pharmaceutical's founding background, development background, shareholder situation, senior management situation, and some social news.
Just as Su Tianyu was fascinated by the scene, Yu Mingyuan quietly came from behind and patted his shoulder: "What are you looking at so seriously?"
Su Tianyu looked up at him and sighed: "What can I see? It's still about the case."
"How did today's meeting go?" Yu Mingyuan bent down, sat down, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
"There won't be any problems with Lao Li. He should fully support me in investigating this matter." Su Tianyu responded softly, "As for the Coast Guard, there are many people who just want to get by and don't want to take responsibility. They are unwilling to express any opinions. In the end, I was the one who suggested investigating Island No. 7."
"I can imagine." Yu Mingyuan nodded slowly: "Today our shareholders also held a meeting. Except for you, everyone else was present."
Su Tianyu looked at him; "What do you mean?"
"The final decision is that we do not support you to continue the investigation." Yu Mingyuan replied helplessly.
Su Tianyu glanced at Yu Mingyuan and grinned, "I know you, just like a farmer knows manure. If the union hadn't passed it, you definitely wouldn't have spoken to me in this tone today."
Yu Mingyuan also grinned: "Fuck! You know me so well, you want to marry me?"
"… How was it? You must be under a lot of pressure in today's meeting, right?" Su Tianyu asked jokingly.
"Not much. My personal charm is here!" Yu Mingyuan replied with a grin.
Su Tianyu picked up a piece of bacon, paused for a moment, and suddenly asked, "How is it, how many votes do the shareholders support me?"
Yu Mingyuan glanced at Su Tianyu and replied in a relaxed manner: "It was passed unanimously, without any doubt!"
As soon as the words came out, the two of them looked up almost at the same time and their eyes met.
"hehe!"
After a long time, they both smiled helplessly again.
Su Tianyu took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Yu Mingyuan and said from the bottom of his heart: "Brother, it's hard for you!"
Yu Mingyuan said nothing, just clinked his cup with Su Tianyu and drank it all in one gulp.
