I am a super cop

Chapter 2881 Big Enemy Investment

After hearing what Lu Weiwei said, Zhao Shun immediately withdrew his gaze, and the bald man became nervous as well.

At this moment, everyone present turned their eyes towards the bald man.

Xu Gong said nothing, but just lowered his head silently.

Secretary Zhao Qing then pressed the issue: "Did you instigate this matter?"

"Hey, Secretary Zhao, look at what's going on?" The bald man admitted that he was in the wrong and quickly explained:

"Didn't you say that the deceased was found in our mining area? But no one saw where he went?"

"So, I let him say that. After all, if the deceased is related to our mine, then can we still operate the mine?"

"So you just let Zhao Shun talk nonsense here?" Officer Wang said unhappily.

At this moment, the bald man's face turned green and he didn't know how to argue for a moment.

Zhao Qing shook his finger at the bald man and said unhappily:
"I don't know what to say to you. How could you do this? Tell me, is the deceased related to you?"

At this point everyone realized that there was something wrong with this bald man.

Although he knew that the police were investigating the circumstances of the deceased, he instructed Zhao Shun to make up stories.

The bald man was really panicking at this moment, and he quickly explained: "It's not like that, listen to my explanation, I just want Zhao Shun to make this matter go away."

"After all, as you know, our mining area does not have the capacity to carry out large-scale mining due to insufficient mining funds. We have not even widened the roads."

Taking a deep breath, the bald man continued, "Under this financial pressure, I can't just sit there and do nothing, right?"

"If this matter is really related to our mining area, then it will be a big trouble."

"What do you mean?" When Lu Weiwei heard this, she felt that this bald man had a lot of reasons.

The bald man also sighed and said slowly: "There is no other way. We in the mining area also need to eat, and the funds raised are not very sufficient in the first place."

"It just so happens that the wealthy man we have been communicating with will come to the mining area for inspection in the next few days. We must not let anything go wrong."

"Once these wealthy people know that the mine is related to a deceased person, it is very likely that our capital chain will be broken."

"If they don't invest, we won't be able to find another partner. After all, we have been talking to this rich man for more than half a year, and we have invested a lot of money and energy."

Spreading his hands, the bald man continued, "It seems that this project is almost completed, and we can also expand the scale."

"But now, you said that the drowned guy had been to our mining area. How do you want me to explain this to him?"

"So you just let Zhao Shun make up stories?" Yuan Shasha said.

"There's nothing we can do about it." The bald man clasped his right hand with his left palm, and said unhappily:
"I don't want this to happen, but the mine is under my management and there are so many people who need to feed every day."

“If there is no funding for mining, everyone will be unemployed.”

At this point, the bald man also sighed, helplessly:

"I really have no choice. Nothing can go wrong here, especially at this critical moment."

"So I have to let Zhao Shun say this, and let him get rid of this matter. At least let you know that this matter has nothing to do with our mining area."

"Only in this way can our business team win these customers."

"Nonsense." Zhao Qing was annoyed when he heard it.
"Are you treating this case as a joke? If we don't find out the real cause of death, what if the murderer is from your mine?"

"Such a dangerous person staying here is also a serious threat."

"I know." Facing Zhao Qing's anger, the bald man quickly nodded and admitted his mistake. Then he looked at Xu Gong and said:
"Xu Gong, please say something too."

"You know that too?" Before Xu Gong could speak, Zhao Qing turned his gaze to Xu Gong after hearing what the bald man said.

Xu Gong was very embarrassed at the moment. After a long ideological struggle, he slowly nodded and said:

"Yes, he did this, and I agreed with him."

"After all, the situation in our mining area is very complicated. If we lose this investor, we will have no source of funds in the future, so we will have to stop working and production."

"At this time, some capital groups will take it away at a very low price. This is definitely not a good thing for us, or for your entire town."

"At least we are really mining, while those consortiums are just playing with financial products. They don't really want to mine these iron ore."

At the end, Xu Gong sighed, looked at the bald man, then turned his gaze to Gu Chen and the others, and continued to explain:

"I know that what we are doing is wrong, but there is no better way at the moment."

"This is the only way I can use. I hope you can understand."

"Who will sympathize with us?" Upon hearing this, Officer Wang also stepped forward and said unhappily:

"We are investigating a case, and we need to find out why this deceased person died in the reservoir."

"What happened before his death? Was it suicide? Or was it murder?"

"If it was a homicide, who was the murderer? What was the motive? We have to consider all of these."

"But tell me now that all these things you said are false..."

At this point, Officer Wang sighed heavily, trying to calm down, and then continued:

"Xu Gong, you are also a highly educated person, how could you do this?"

"Oh no." Xu Gong, who was completely humiliated by what Officer Wang said, adjusted his glasses awkwardly and explained:

"I know I was a little selfish. I only cared about protecting our mine and didn't consider the difficulties you faced in handling the case."

After taking a deep breath, Xu Gong explained, "We originally thought that this person had no connection with our mine, but the old employees have seen him, and two work clothes are missing from our warehouse."

"Of course, this is indeed our negligence in our work, but I also ask you, can you wait until we have negotiated the investment before pursuing this matter?"

"Or, after these investors have come and finished their inspection, you will come back to investigate?"

"What did you say?" Officer Wang was stunned when he heard it. "It's not Mr. Xu. Are you kidding me? We are investigating a case. Every second counts."

"If you let the murderer escape, can you bear the responsibility?" Officer Wang left him speechless. Xu Gong adjusted his glasses again and could only sigh:

"Well, if you want to investigate, feel free to do so."

"There's something wrong with you guys." Officer Wang shook his right index finger at them and said without hesitation:
"If the reason you did this just now was because of an investment investigation, then perhaps it is understandable."

"But if you're just using this as an excuse, then you have a big problem."

"Absolutely not." At this moment, Xu Gong had no choice but to wave his hands to prove his innocence.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.

Gu Chen came up to Zhao Shun and asked him, "What did he ask you to say just now?"

Zhao Shun looked up at Gu Chen, then immediately looked away. At this moment, he was a little nervous, but didn't know how to express it, and his body began to tremble.

Lu Weiwei reminded: "You also have a problem now, tell me."

"Indeed, the manager asked me to do this." Zhao Shun took a deep breath and said without hesitation:
"I have only been in the mining area for a short time, so I am mostly doing odd jobs at work."

"But the manager was very nice to me. He told me that the mine was in big trouble and asked me to listen to him and report to you according to his instructions."

"The purpose is to separate this matter from the mining area, because only in this way will our investors not make things difficult for us."

"Because the operation of our mining area is very difficult now, it's not because the mineral resources are bad, but the mining capacity is limited and more capital investment is needed."

"But today's investors are very smart. They all like to make quick money. They want to see results immediately after investing money."

"So it's hard to impress them with an industry like this that has a long investment cycle and a slow return cycle."

"But this is what we need most. We can only do this. I can only cooperate with the manager and put on a show in front of you."

At the end of his speech, Zhao Shun lowered his head, but he quickly raised it again and continued:

"I swear, our intentions were good and we have absolutely no real connection with this matter."

"I have never seen the deceased. Everything has nothing to do with us."

"But the old employees in your mine said that they saw the deceased in the mine, and he was still wearing his work clothes," said Lu Weiwei.

"Maybe he really saw it? Or maybe the deceased really came to our mining area?"

"but……"

Xu Gong hesitated for a moment, and then said, "But what does this mean? There is nothing else valuable in our mining area. Apart from the mines, there is nothing else. What is his purpose in coming here?"

"This is also the purpose of our trip." Gu Chen finished speaking, and opened the photo album on his phone again, showing the photos of the mud and mineral gravel taken from the soles of the deceased's shoes in front of Xu Gong, and asked:
"Where can you find this kind of ore?"

"It's...in the open-pit mining area. There's a pile over there," said Mr. Xu.

"Apart from that?" Gu Chen asked again.

"No, because we just discovered this kind of mineral not long ago. We are also classifying these minerals now, which will be a long project."

"Take us over to have a look." Gu Chen didn't say anything more. Since Xu Gong and the bald man were both using tricks in front of the police, Gu Chen needed to go and investigate on the spot himself.

After all, these people are no longer reliable, and only practice can reveal the truth nowadays.

Xu Gong had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to take the police to the mining area for inspection.

The hesitation in deceiving the police before has resulted in both parties now not trusting each other enough.

Gu Chen's team searched every aspect of the place more carefully.

As a group of people who did not trust the others, the bald man, Xu Gong, and Zhao Shun could only follow Gu Chen and his friends obediently.

Xu Gong took everyone to one of the mining areas and said, "This is the only place where some hematite is piled up."

"Because it was mined not long ago, the quantity is not large. The iron ore is all here."

"Is there no other place besides here?" Gu Chen confirmed again.

Xu Gong shook his head: "No, this is the only place where we have piles of garbage."

"Because investors are coming to inspect, we have to speak with the results. In fact, we have only mined these."

"But these ores must also be displayed. We can tell the outside world that this is only a part of it. We need to convince them that this is profitable."

"Then what's the difference between this and lying?" Yuan Shasha said unhappily when she heard it.

Xu Gong smiled and said, "Comrade policewoman, I can see that no one in your family does business, right? This is called the unspoken rule of business."

"What the investigator needs is only what he sees, but what he sees may not always be accurate."

Spreading his hands, Xu Gong continued to explain: "For example, we are negotiating with each other, so we must keep pulling each other."

"If we don't have hard currency and these hematite ores, we will definitely suffer during the negotiations."

"On the contrary, we don't know how much hematite there is, but it may be more, or it may not be."

"But it doesn't matter anymore. What matters is that I have these things in my hands now, so they believe that we will always have these things here."

"As long as they are willing to invest, they may be able to reap more returns, but of course, they may also lose everything."

Shaking his right index finger, Xu Gong continued to explain: "Although I am a technician, I also know a little about business. This is called capital operation. If there is no one in your family who does big business, then you will not understand these things at all."

"Who is the stupid person who wants to be fooled by you guys?" Lu Weiwei asked curiously after hearing this.

Xu Gong said slowly: "We have been communicating with the managers of the investment departments of the big financial groups in Jiangnan City and Yuan Group for a long time."

“Now all that’s left is a field visit and on-site assessment.”

Spreading his hands, Xu Gong continued, "They don't understand anyway. We just need to use these finished products as bargaining chips. If we can negotiate a good price, we can continue mining with the funds invested by Yuan Group."

"It's actually a very simple business logic, but the problem now is that we can't have any negative news in our mining area."

"Otherwise, this will become a bargaining chip for the financiers to lower the price, which will be very disadvantageous to us, so please forgive me."
