Chapter 430: Accomplice - Abandoned Factory (Part )

Six accomplices in the case
Eighty Abandoned Factories (Part 2)

"Wait a moment, I happened to be in the team, and I ran into my master and the others at a meeting—"

Jiang Mo frowned, moved the phone next to his ear and turned it to loudspeaker, turning the volume up to the maximum. The sound of the abandoned iron factory building being blown by the gusts of wind mixed with the noise of the shaking current signal, slightly distortedly exploding on the piles of files on the conference table. Wang Jiahao probably forgot to take off his helmet, and shouted "I understand" in the "whirring" wind, and greeted "Captain Gu, thank you for your hard work" through the mobile phone signal, and then "hehe" heard Gu Xing reply with a silly smile "Serve the people".

Jiang Mo's eyebrows loosened halfway with a puff. She tilted her head to avoid Wang Jiahao's grin. She couldn't bear it any longer and turned down the volume. She asked, "You just said that when you illegally modified the car and disassembled the parts, you found two cloned cars registered to Chen Zuoyi in the scrap warehouse of Baixing Auto Repair Shop? We have checked all the cars under Chen Zuoyi's name and even the cars used by the entire Fu'an Xingcheng Company for personal use. Now two more cars suddenly appeared... What's going on?"

"It's a long story, so I'll cut to the chase - ah? Oh oh oh, the helmet."

Wang Jiahao was yelling at the top of his voice when he was probably reminded by Zou Rui who passed by and hit his helmet with his gloves. He realized it belatedly and stammered for a while, then adjusted himself to a normal speaking volume with a bit of embarrassment, "Were we not investigating the private modification of vehicles before? We finally caught the boss of Baixing Auto Repair showing some flaws, and our traffic police detachment was almost doing an audit. Whoever was not on duty was responsible for checking and counting the records of goods entering and leaving their store and the inventory of spare parts. We checked over and over again but they didn't match, and guess what happened -"

Wang Jiahao became more excited as he spoke, and he whispered a foreshadowing like he was telling a story. He didn't even wait for his criminal investigation colleague who was upset by the case to sing along with him. He slapped the heavy cloth of the traffic police's duty uniform, "Today, Zou Rui and I were thinking about asking around the Baixing store. After all, colleagues are enemies. What if someone is willing to reveal something? Unexpectedly, the bunch of auto repair and auto parts people were all on the same boat. In the end, it was all thanks to the old man who collected scraps in front of the Baixing store that we were able to follow the clues and find the base of this abandoned factory building and wipe it out."

"How does the old man who collects scraps know—" Jiang Mo leaned over the edge of the table and asked casually. He caught a glimpse of Gu Xing's amused look and urged him. He raised his hand and clenched his fist to cover a light cough, "Hiss... Wang Jiahao, can you get to the point?"

"This is the main point. If I avoid it, I won't be able to explain it clearly..."

Wang Jiahao let out a long "hmm", brewed his words for three to five seconds, and finally gave up struggling and sighed: "Let me put it this way, I'll say it quickly - this old man, he is from the scrap recycling station in Bazhuang, the broken factory building that Baixing privately occupied happened to be in the old man's trophy area, previously Baixing privately dismantled the parts that needed to be processed and basically the old man collected the scraps, which made a lot of money every month. This month Baixing was sealed up, and the old man's "turnover" was short of one dollar. After such a long time of overdue, the old man was thinking of going to Baixing store to find out the news - I guess the old man may know that the vehicles and parts in their factory are not from a legitimate source, so he quietly popped his head out at the door of the store today, turned around and was held down by me and Zou Rui... The old man may not take us seriously because we were wearing traffic police uniforms -"

Jiang Mo interrupted Wang Jiahao and asked, "How did you know that the car in the abandoned factory was related to Chen Zuoyi?"

"At first, we were just collecting evidence based on the fake license plate cars. Who would have thought that one of the cars was unlocked, and a bunch of license plates were found in the trunk. I hadn't noticed it yet, but Zou Rui remembered that when you were checking vehicles everywhere a while ago, you asked our office goddess to pay more attention to a few license plate numbers." Wang Jiahao's voice drifted away for a few seconds and then came closer. The next second, Xiao Letian's phone vibrated and a picture message popped up, "... I sent it to Xiao Letian, photos of two vehicles to be scrapped in the factory. The model is exactly the same as the car that was inexplicably lost after leaving the vicinity of the suburban hospital. Take a look - anyway, there is basically no room for quibbling at this end of the den. Baixing, the mechanic who was forced to share the hardships, took the initiative to jump out and cooperate, and confessed a secret account hidden in the broken factory."

Xiao Letian held the vibrating phone in his hand without thinking much. He was slow to react for half a second when he heard Wang Jiahao's words, and then he projected the sent photos on the screen. Jiang Mo raised his eyebrows, turned his head to check with Gu Xing, and was startled by Huang Xingjun's slap on his thigh when he was about to say something. He blinked and stumbled, "Uh--that...are the cars recorded in the account all scrapped cars of unknown origin? Did Chen Zuoyi send these two cars himself?"

"If it was Chen Zuoyi himself, then he must have seen a ghost..."

Wang Jiahao shook his head and spoke vaguely into the microphone: "This broken factory of Baixing definitely has a previous owner. A considerable number of the scrapped vehicles collected from informal channels were dismantled and modified here. The last account was even recorded after the boss of Baixing was controlled by us... The two cars registered under Chen Zuoyi's name are recorded as scrapped, but I heard that in order to avoid our investigation recently, no one has touched these two cars until now. And Jiang Xiaomo, the most important point among the points - the scrapped account of Chen Zuoyi was registered on the fourth day after Chen Zuoyi was killed. Tell me, is this weird or not?"

Jiang Mo took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice: "The person who delivered the car to Baixing was not Chen Zuoyi? Then it was..."

“The big wave that everyone is looking forward to.”

Wang Jiahao's voice was hoarse as if he had chewed his teeth in the wind. He said, "The mechanic said that although it's not been long, Xue Yilian has been driving here herself since she started taking jobs for Boss Chen. They were a little puzzled at first, after all, the boss would never drive such an irregular second-modified car without a proper license plate. Later, someone heard about Xue Yilian's affair with a rich man, so they guessed that it might be because the boss was fooling people. When Boss Chen was killed a while ago and Xue Yilian came to deal with the car, everyone simply thought that his backer had fallen and he wanted to cash it in for some money."

“There is another top priority.”

Wang Jiahao finally walked into a sheltered area, took a photo and sent it to Xiao Letian's phone. There was a hint of coldness at the end of his words, "I just asked the repair guy to unlock the other car... This trunk... I think your task force may need to bring colleagues from the inspection department to come over and take a look."

Due to work and health reasons, I will be working on another day~
