Xu Hu and Wei Xiangzuo's master is called Gu Tongshan. This old guy is one of the absolute elders of the Code Gang. He is of the same generation as the current leader of the Code Gang. Both of them have the character "Tong" in the middle of their names.
Gu Tongshan was the previous leader of the Zhannan Wharf Gang. When he was a little older, he let Xu Hu and Wei Xiangzuo take over and manage the specific affairs of the Zhannan Wharf Gang. Gu Tongshan joined the Wharf Workers Association as a director and got a seat in the city council. In short, he succeeded in getting on the land and he no longer directly participated in the fighting and killing of the underworld.
Although Gu Tongshan is no longer in Zhaman, his influence is still strong. First of all, Wei Xiangzuo, the sitting master in Zhaman, has always respected him. No matter where he goes, he always calls him "Master". In addition, many old code gang members in Zhaman also listen to him very much, so this person is the one who controls the real direction of the Zhaman Code Gang.
indoor.
Xu Hu didn't even dare to sit down when he heard his master's question. He just replied immediately: "It was Feng Hai who added more than 100 kilograms of private goods to the 600 kilograms of goods without telling me."
Although Gu Tongshan is nearly sixty years old, he looks very strong, with few wrinkles on his face and his hair is dyed completely black. In short, he looks quite stylish when he sits there.
After Xu Hu finished speaking, Gu Tongshan did not respond immediately, but just looked at him indifferently.
"Master... I was indeed negligent in letting Feng Hai mix the goods and sell them privately." Xu Hu added, "This kind of thing will definitely not happen again in the future."
Gu Tongshan retracted his gaze, put his hands in his pockets and said slowly, "Alas, now even people like Feng Hai dare to buy goods privately. There are too many people and it's hard to manage."
Xu Hu didn't respond when he heard that.
"Please sit down." Gu Tongshan greeted him.
After hearing this, Xu Hu bent down and sat next to Gu Tongshan.
"The man has been arrested, the goods have been seized, and the attention has also increased." Gu Tongshan did not dwell on the issue of Feng Hai's adulteration of the goods. He just said softly: "Things have come to this point. It is obviously impossible for you to clear anyone or find someone. The case has been settled, and we have to accept this result."
Wei Xiangzuo nodded when he heard this.
"Who do you think did this?" Gu Tongshan asked Xu Hu.
"It's obvious. It's most likely the Yu family." Xu Hu replied.
"Since the case has been settled, we need to reduce the losses. As for the code gang, who should take the blame and who should spend the money to operate it, they all need to do their job." Gu Tongshan pondered for a while and continued, "The Coast Guard took the money but failed to protect the goods. They should bear greater responsibility. So, let them quickly push out the person who should take the blame and let the incident be settled as soon as possible."
"Yes!" Xu Hu nodded.
"More than 10 million worth of goods were swept away, and more than a dozen people were arrested. The Yu family's move this time is obviously aimed at killing people." Gu Tongshan turned his head and looked at Wei Xiangzuo: "The gun should be pointed outward, do you understand what I mean?"
"Of course!" Wei Xiangzuo replied without hesitation.
"While resolving the matter, we must investigate it thoroughly." Gu Tongshan pointed at Xu Hu and said, "I don't want to hear speculations. I just want to see who moved the goods. To catch a thief, you must hold your hands and have evidence."
"Yes, Master!" Xu Hu nodded.
"The goods are lost, and someone from Lao Mo's side has come." Gu Tongshan stood up and said, "You guys take them over and settle them down. That's all."
After saying that, Gu Tongshan ran straight into the house.
When Wei Xiangzuo saw his master leaving, he immediately said to Xu Hu, "I've told you not to touch Lao Mo's goods, but you guys just didn't listen. This bastard will screw the Code Gang sooner or later!"
Xu Hu was upset and asked directly: "Why didn't you tell Master about this?"
Wei Xiangzuo was silent for a while: "Forget it, I won't argue anymore. If you need my help, just ask me."
After saying this, Wei Xiangzuo also left.
…
In the next few days, the code gangs, the coast guard, and the customs anti-smuggling departments were dealt with one after another. A deputy director-level cadre, a dozen police sergeant-level cadres, and more than 20 police officers were all suspended and isolated for interrogation, including Tang Baiqing and the squadron leader.
At the same time, Feng Hai and others were sent to the major case detention center. It is estimated that the lightest sentence will be ten years or more, and the leader will definitely be sentenced to death.
However, Feng Hai was the leader of the Zhannan Wharf Gang and Xu Hu's confidant, so he might be saved and a leader who could take the blame could be pushed forward. But no one knew how much money it would cost, and at least it would be impossible to do this without making clear arrangements for Wang Daolin.
On the other side, Yu Mingyuan, Su Tianyu and others returned to the urban area of Longcheng after playing in Guangji Island for three days and two nights.
After they came back, they stayed at Yu Mingyuan's house almost all day, talking about the situation at the dock. Because at this time, there was no need to make up for them, the incident had been pushed forward, and they only needed to continue to pay attention.
After the smuggling case fermented, the business of Mabang must have stopped. At least in the short term, they dared not move the goods, so everyone is in a similar situation now. It’s just that Mabang is larger in size, and the loss must be far greater than Mingyuan Company.
Although Yu Mingyuan did not gain any vested benefits from this incident and instead spent a lot of money, he was happy in his heart because he achieved two goals.
First, the other party has also closed the port, and as long as Yu Mingyuan is in Longcheng, even if the Code Gang resumes shipping in the future, they must always be on guard against the Yu family, otherwise it is likely to get into trouble again. So the purpose of the stalemate between the two sides has been achieved. If the Code Gang wants to do business safely in the future, they must talk to Yu Mingyuan.
Second, with more than 10 million yuan of goods being swept away, Xu Hu must be under unprecedented pressure, because he simply does not have the financial strength to control such a large plate. He is only the person in charge of the operation on the surface, and the bosses behind the scenes in the relevant interest chain will question him, such as the coast guard, suppliers, and the old men from the Wharf Workers Association who want to share the profits. At the same time, if the Zhanan Port cannot ship goods for a period of time in the future, the wharf gang’s henchmen will have no food to eat. If everyone has no work to do and no gray income, it will also put pressure on Xu Hu, and this pressure will also prompt Xu Hu to compromise.
Therefore, Yu Mingyuan, Gou Liuzi and others are not in a hurry now. They are in a good mood and have a lot of free time.
…
After more than twenty days, the Chinese Lunar New Year is approaching.
It was noon that day.
Inside the criminal detention center of the police station, Daxiong was squatting in the toilet of the cell, holding a brush and scrubbing the squat toilet with his bare hands.
A short suspect came from behind and saw the burly Big Bear squatting at the edge of the pit. He immediately raised his arm and slapped him.
“Bang!”
There was a crisp sound, and Daxiong's neck was red and swollen from being hit. He turned his head in panic and asked, "Big... Big Brother, what... what happened?"
"You brush it gently, it makes a squeaking sound, so others can't rest?" The suspect glared and cursed: "Get out of the way, I need to pee!"
The big bear looked at him and moved to the side.
The suspect urinated into the squat toilet, then pulled up his pants, turned around and continued, "Keep brushing, and make sure it's clean! Otherwise, if it doesn't pass the inspection at night, I'll beat you up."
Big Bear looked at the urine in the squat toilet, hesitated for a while, and then continued to brush it with his bare hands.
