That evening.
Tan Mingchao personally called Zhou Xian and several senior members of the investigation team and invited them to dinner.
Zhou Xian originally didn't want to go, but considering that Tan Mingchao was the son of the garrison commander after all, although the relationship between the two sides was sensitive now, there would definitely be contact in the future, so he had no choice but to accept the invitation to the banquet.
A group of people went to the bank of the Long River and arrived at the berth of the catering cruise ship. As the host, Tan Mingchao politely got off the boat to greet them in person.
…
It’s a little after nine in the evening.
An off-road vehicle was parked in an alley next to the investigation team's compound.
A company commander under Tan Mingchao was sitting alone in the back seat, smoking and waiting.
About five minutes later, a man got into the car stealthily, turned his head and looked around and said, "Xiao Wu, you shouldn't have asked me out at this time! You know that the relationship between our two families is so sensitive right now, and meeting in private will result in punishment."
"Why panic?" The company commander, Xiao Wu, chuckled and replied, "The leaders above are drinking together now. Is there any need for us to be so nervous?"
"The leader is the leader, how can we compete?" The man whispered back, "If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. I still have to be on duty."
"Can we arrange for Yang Gang to meet with his family?" Xiao Wu asked.
"Fuck, are you crazy?!" The man was stunned for a moment: "How can we allow him to meet casually now? He is one of the important suspects in the arms robbery. No one in our investigation team can interrogate him casually."
"You are from the Internal Affairs Department. It's night time now. You can just do some operations. This shouldn't be difficult, right?" Xiao Wu replied.
"I just did something and my head is gone. Do you know what I would be guilty of if this is discovered?" The man waved his hands: "No, no, absolutely not!"
"I've always believed that there is nothing in this world that money can't overcome." Xiao Wu took a money bag from the co-pilot seat, threw it at the other party's feet and said, "One million in cash. After we meet tonight, I'll give you another hundred tomorrow!"
"...!" The man swallowed his saliva and said, "I beg you, please don't test me. I really can't do this...!"
"Add two hundred after the meeting!" Xiao Wu frowned and said, "The investigation team was formed temporarily and will be disbanded after the case is closed. Brother, you don't even know whether you will have the opportunity to get three million in the rest of your life, right?"
The man clenched his fists.
"This is in Longcheng. As long as you don't make any mistakes, I guarantee you'll be fine." Xiao Wu continued in a low voice, "Three million. You probably won't earn that much in your lifetime, right? Okay, just give me a straight answer!"
The man looked at the money bag on the ground and slapped his thigh: "Damn it, I really can't stand this test!"
"Haha, to be honest, I can't stand it either."
"…!" The man picked up the money bag on the ground and whispered, "I'll go back and record the surveillance video first. Bring some people here in the middle of the night. No more than three people at most. Wait for me at the back door."
"Okay!" Xiao Wu nodded.
"You can't be short of the remaining two million. I'll really risk my head for you!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Tan, can you afford such a small amount of money?"
"Okay, I'm leaving now."
After the two finished talking, the man took the money and left.
…
One thirty in the morning.
Almost all the staff in the investigation team's compound have rested, leaving only a temporary duty team.
The accomplice replaced the half-hour surveillance video with last night's, and then took two assistants to pick up Yang Gang's wife and Xiao Wu in the building behind.
Everyone quickly entered the building and came to the room in the basement where Yang Gang was imprisoned.
"Hurry up, it's only half an hour. The discipline department will definitely come to inspect soon." The man reminded.
"You go in." Xiao Wu ordered Yang Gang's wife.
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman pushed the door open and walked into the room. Xiao Wu and the man immediately went to hide in the next room.
In the brightly lit detention room, Yang Gang was handcuffed to the bed, his body covered with wounds.
When my wife saw this scene, she broke down instantly and started crying with her hands covering her mouth.
When Yang Gang saw his wife, he was very surprised: "You... why are you here?"
The wife stepped forward, touched the wound on his body, tears streaming down her face: "... I... I really don't have any other choice."
Yang Gang swallowed his saliva and asked excitedly: "Did your second uncle send you in? Did he have anything to say to me?"
The wife stared at Yang Gang, who looked nervous, with eyes full of pity.
"Why are you crying? Say something!"
"... My second uncle has been controlled. He had a heart attack and can't leave the hospital." When my wife said this, tears started to flow down her cheeks: "He...he has no other way."
Yang Gang was stunned.
"Tan Mingchao came to me today and told me a lot..." The wife said in a hoarse voice: "I also called my second uncle, and he and Tan Mingchao had the same idea."
"What do you mean?!" Yang Gang asked with a pale face.
My wife lowered her head, clenched her fists, and after hesitating for a long time, she said in a trembling voice: "What they mean is... the matter ends with you. Don't implicate my second uncle or the garrison. They want you to admit to collaborating with the enemy, participating in the hijacking of arms, and bite the Tongji Association."
Yang Gang was stunned. He had been waiting for rescue from outside for the past few days, but he didn't expect this result.
In the bright room, Yang Gang's brain was buzzing and he felt a little dizzy.
His wife collapsed on the ground and cried. After a long while, Yang Gang looked at his wife in disbelief: "So... so you came here... to persuade me to admit it?"
The wife lowered her head and said, "I can't do anything! You're in there, and the three of us are outside. Your parents, my parents... are all under their noses!"
When Yang Gang heard this, his head exploded: "Do you know what the result will be if I admit it? I will die! I will be shot!!"
When the wife heard this, she lowered her head and sobbed, "... Lao Yang!! I really have no choice...!"
Yang Gang looked at her for a long time without saying a word.
After my wife came into the room, she seemed to have said nothing, but it also seemed as if she had said everything.
Yang Gang was silent for a long time, and suddenly laughed desperately: "Well...well, I know you can't do it. Haha, okay, I admit it!"
…
The next morning, the chief of staff of the 112th Regiment reported to Zhou Xian that Yang Gang had accepted a large amount of bribes from outside the district and secretly colluded with the Tongji Society to hijack the armaments in order to ease the situation of the Chi army.
At night, after learning that the regiment's staff officer had reported him, Yang Gang was ready to drop the case and was forced to accuse the Tongji Association.
District 2.
Lao Hei called Su Tianyu and said, "We're done here."
"Okay, I got it." Su Tianyu hung up the phone and turned to look at Hou Guoyu: "I don't trust anyone else, so I can only trust you."
