In Longcheng, inside the garrison headquarters.
Tan Hengqiang was in a very bad mood after meeting with the investigation team. He could sense the determination of the higher-ups to thoroughly investigate the matter and Zhou Xian's attitude of not giving him face at all.
The arms incident had too great an impact. If the higher-ups were determined to conduct a thorough investigation of this, it would certainly involve a lot of trouble. It would not be surprising if several generals were imprisoned.
After the military situation in Longcheng became tense, Tan Hengqiang became the most powerful of the governors. However, this kind of popularity can bring opportunities, but also dangers. Many people are now hoping that he will get into trouble and make a fool of himself.
Besides, Zhou Xian is not from Tan Hengqiang's faction. If he comes and uses chicken feathers as a token of authority, old Tan will feel uncomfortable.
Taking all the above reasons into consideration, Tan Hengqiang was in a very bad mood after returning to the office. He didn't even have a midnight snack and just sat in a chair in a daze.
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!" Tan Hengqiang shouted.
His son Tan Mingchao pushed the door open and walked in, frowning as he said, "Zhou Xian from the investigation team wants to transfer a group from our side, saying that there will be an arrest operation tonight. He does not plan to notify the Longcheng Judicial Department and only wants to use our people."
Tan Hengqiang picked up the cigar box and said, "He wants a regiment. Let's send him a guard battalion. You can go with him."
"Yes!" Tan Mingchao responded and asked tentatively, "I think Zhou Xian has bad intentions. Should we add some resistance to him and make him understand the situation?"
Tan Hengqiang immediately waved his hands: "Don't do this. The investigation team can report to the emperor. If you do this, he will report you. Isn't that just discrediting yourself? This method is meaningless. If he wants to investigate, you will be finished if you cooperate with him."
"Okay." Tan Mingchao replied.
Tan Hengqiang lit the cigar with a musket, took a deep breath and said, "Did Zhou Xian say what action to take? Who will be taken?"
"No." Tan Mingchao shook his head slowly. "What he meant was that we would be in charge of the specific arrests, but the people at the command level would be from the investigation team. We don't know the mission, nor do we know what to do. We just need to follow with guns."
"well!"
Tan Hengqiang sighed, waved his hand and said, "Okay, I understand, go ahead."
"Dad, don't be too angry. Things have already come to this. We can just fight back if they come." Tan Mingchao consoled him, "We have more than 50,000 troops stationed there. If we want him to see something, he can see it. If we don't want him to see it, it won't be difficult to cover it up."
Tan Hengqiang nodded slowly: "Go!"
…
Longcheng, No. 99 Baiye Avenue, Longkou District.
This is the temporary office compound allocated by the garrison corps to the investigation team. It covers a small area, but the environment is very superior. There are a series of functional buildings such as separate dormitory buildings, canteens, and fitness clubs in the compound.
It was a little after 11 o’clock at night.
Three cars drove into Baiye Avenue, and a young man was escorted into the main building by a dozen people.
In the conference room, Zhou Xian walked out of the room with the phone in his hand, stood at the door and asked, "Have all the garrison personnel gathered?"
"Yes, a regiment has arrived."
"Okay, okay, I understand. I'll send someone over right away." Zhou Xian hung up the phone, immediately opened the door, and said to everyone in the conference room, "Time is tight and the mission is heavy. Everyone, get out as soon as possible. The plan is what I just said. First, we must control the leakage of information. Second, everyone must keep an eye on the point. Before the results are out, not even a suspicious mosquito can be allowed to fly away. This clue is very important. It is the key to whether the case can be solved quickly."
"yes!"
The forty or fifty people in the conference room all stood up and saluted.
…
After Zhou Xian arranged the action tasks in the conference room, he immediately followed his assistant downstairs.
Soon, everyone arrived at the interrogation observation room, from where they could see the arrested suspects.
Zhou Xian put his hands behind his back and asked the member of the investigation team next to him: "He said it all, right?"
"Yes, the current situation is what I reported to you." The team member nodded and replied, "But he doesn't know the specific hiding place of the online leader. He only knows that he is in Tianhong Port. Because I asked him to answer the phone before, I guess the other party doesn't know that he has been arrested."
"Can I fish for a bit?"
"It's tough. The people doing this job must be veterans. If we act too hastily, we might alert the enemy." The team members shook their heads.
"The main arrest team, move towards Tianhong Port, especially keep an eye on the Coast Guard." Zhou Xian said in a serious tone: "The Coast Guard of Tianhong Port is Lao Li's private army. They may use this channel to transfer people."
"Don't worry about that." A deputy team leader nearby said, "Our people have already arrived at the customs. No ship can leave tonight."
"Okay." Zhou Xian nodded, looking at the people in the interrogation room with gloomy eyes, and said with his hands behind his back: "I'll see where you can run this time!"
…
Tianhong Port, in a dilapidated residential building.
Fei Pingsheng turned his head and glanced around, then reached out and knocked on the door.
Ten seconds later, the iron door was opened, and Ah Shui called out in a low voice: "Come in!"
Fei Pingsheng entered the room and immediately asked, "What happened? Who lost it?"
"What we can confirm now is that two people are missing, one is Xiaohu and the other is Chen Xi." Ah Shui said solemnly, "They have lost contact. The brothers outside the district said they wanted to look for them, but I didn't let them because I was afraid something had happened to them."
"Fuck it!"
Fei Pingsheng put his hands on his hips and cursed: "How much do they know?"
"I don't know too much, not even the details of the mission, but they can definitely lock me in." Ah Shui immediately replied: "I have been with you for three or four years."
Fei Pingsheng heard this and asked, "Can you tell how long they have been gone?"
“It’s hard to say.”
"Does he know your situation? Does he know where you are?!" Lao Fei asked again.
"He probably doesn't know. The information about us here is only known by those who are here." A Shui replied.
After thinking for a while, Fei Pingsheng immediately pointed at Ah Shui's chest and asked, "Think about it again. Are you sure these two people won't target other brothers?"
"Sure, I'm the only one you can target when you go online!"
"Okay." Fei Pingsheng immediately pointed at Zhang Chao and the others and said, "You go first and wait at the intersection of Erdao Street. I'll ask Wei Xiangzuo to pick you up later."
"good."
Zhang Chao and others nodded.
Fei Pingsheng took out his cell phone, looked at Ah Shui and said, "I'm going to contact Su Tianyu now and ask him to send you out of the country immediately. You may have to run far away."
"No problem." Ah Shui responded.
After the two finished communicating, Fei Pingsheng was just about to call Su Tianyu when his cell phone rang.
"Hello, Mingyuan?"
"I'll be there right away. It's urgent!" Yu Mingyuan said solemnly, "Don't contact anyone now. Do you understand?!"
