Chapter 511 Rose-Supply and Demand (Part )

Case Seven Rose
18 Supply and Demand (Part 1)

The old-fashioned draw-cord ventilation fan in the interrogation room was pulled to its maximum exhaust volume. The motor, which had no shock-absorbing or noise-reducing function, roughly dragged the thin fan blades, making a constant "whooshing" noise.

Xu Jianghua was halfway through his "heartbroken" confession with saliva flying everywhere when Wen Chen, who was leaning back in his chair "admiring" Xu Jianghua's superb acting skills, kicked the fixed table with a "bang" as if accidentally.

He first glanced at Xu Jianghua sharply, then pretended to be apologetic and saluted in a non-serious manner at Boss Xu, who was startled by the sudden and meaningful noise. He took two steps slowly, fumbled for the cigarette lighter in his trouser pocket and moved it under the exhaust vent of the ventilation fan, rubbed a flame with a "crackling" sound, and raised his hand slightly towards Xu Jianghua, whose face was flushed by the two and a half sentences of "leniency to those who confess", and snorted with a forced smile.

"Oh, sorry, Boss Xu. You must have been shocked, right? I've been staying up late, and I'm a little sleepy. It sounds interesting. Can you continue... where were you just talking about - disassembling parts and selling them, but you don't know what's hidden inside, right?"

"...Comrade police officer... I really didn't lie... I... I have dealt with our system before, right? You can tell at a glance that I didn't lie... The comrade investigating the murder case and the two of us - we are both in control..."

At first, Xu Jianghua was thinking about "arguing with reason". However, he claimed that he was just a mean person who pursued profit and avoided harm, not a stubborn person. The police officer Wen Chen in the interrogation room obviously did not have the patience to let him argue for a while - the mineral water bottle on the table was twisted and crumpled by him, and the smoky cigarette butt was crushed and shoved into the bottle mouth with almost no space left. If it weren't for the surveillance cameras in the room pressing on his head, the "warmth" on Wen Chen's face that had been barely maintained for an hour would have been burned out.

Xu Jianghua swallowed, and surreptitiously raised his eyes to look at the rapidly flickering sparks on the cigarette butt held in the corner of Wen Chen's mouth. His voice became lower and lower, and he spat out in annoyance: "I admit the crime of privately dismantling scrapped parts. I will pay the fine for tinkering with scrapped cars this time...but...I really don't know the situation of Shengcheng Inter-Express's scrapped cars. The cars they use for logistics are updated very quickly, and they are basically second-hand or third-hand cars bought at low prices. After I received scrapped cars twice, they can be regarded as my old customer...who the hell can check so carefully every time..."

Wen Chen heard the rare truth from him, raised his eyebrows slightly, looked up and blew towards the ventilator, "What kind of business did Sheng Chengjisu discuss with you?"

"Strictly speaking... I don't have any business contact with Shengcheng Intermediate Speed—"

Xu Jianghua muttered quietly, and heard the sound of Wen Chen biting the filter and clicking his tongue. He leaned forward hurriedly and made up for it: "This is not an excuse... The small logistics companies that deal with scrapped cars here were not outsourced by Shengcheng Intercity at the beginning... They have been connected with Shengcheng Intercity for the past six months. They rarely went outside the province before, and any problems with second-hand or third-hand trucks could easily result in loss of life, but the cost of trucks is not like that of family cars. I am... also helping them to make up for the cost, right? The guy who runs logistics is also very considerate. I have introduced many small businesses to brothers and friends. Later, one time he drove a large trailer here, and I learned that the small boss had joined Shengcheng Intercity. He made a profit after running a few orders, and the cars on hand had to be replaced with new ones one after another. That's how I got a ride on Shengcheng Intercity-"

Xu Jianghua lifted his eyelids and looked at Wen Chen's condescending and indifferent expression. He stumbled a little and pulled back half of the words that were a little off the topic: "Uh... No... I accidentally got on the pirate ship of Shengcheng Inter-speed... Now I'm not in trouble, I'll confess and get leniency--"

Jiang Mo frowned and stared at the surveillance screen with Xu Jianghua's sly expression. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Gu Xing licking his back teeth and trying hard to be dignified and calm and not to curse, and he snorted lightly.

Xiao Letianmao, who was beside Jiang Mo, only half understood what was said. She grabbed her senior sister's shoulder, pointed out that Gu Xing's eyes were twitching with anger, and asked quietly: "Why does Master have that expression? Is Xu Jianghua also lying?" "Almost... half and half."

Jiang Mo's eyes slightly shifted, and she stared at Wen Chen, who was leaning against the wall of the ventilator and listening to Xu Jianghua's nonsense with an expressionless face. Her brows knitted together even tighter. She slightly tilted the file in her hand and gently circled it to Xiao Letian: "The logistics boss that Xu Jianghua mentioned is the driver who broke through the checkpoint, Li Xu, and the fleet boss of Tu Siyao's father."

"Tu Siyao...her father?"

Xiao Letian was stunned for a moment, his mind went around slowly, and then he covered his mouth in sudden realization, choking in surprise: "Tu Siyao's father's accident was almost three years ago? I remember it was about the Fengxi road reconstruction, and the construction team of Fu'an Xingcheng was pulling materials, but at that time, all kinds of car insurance and accident insurance were already Shengchengjisu--"

Wen Chen nodded slowly, but his face was half-believing. He walked back to the interrogation table holding the cigarette butt, leaned against the edge of the table to crush the cigarette butt and put it into the wrinkled mineral water bottle, "How old are you and Shengcheng Jisu? What kind of relationship are you in? What kind of relatives are you and someone is trying to get you to do? Just chat for a few minutes - I'll ask you again, what kind of business did you discuss with Shengcheng Jisu? Or should I ask my colleagues in the economic investigation to sort out the accounts for you first? Check the oil and water in your scrapped cars, where did the kickback money go?"

"I--"

Xu Jianghua choked, holding his neck tight for a long while, and finally sneered, "This is all the fault of the general manager of Shengchengjisu. Apart from the normal scrapping process, other small logistics go through the channels introduced by Shengchengjisu... I can take a kickback from any refurbished parts that can be dismantled and sold. Then the general manager introduced me to the Baixing Auto Repair Shop opened by a distant relative of their family or the sister-in-law of a friend. He said that as long as the parts are good, they can take them and refurbish them, whether they are big or small. Some are not legitimate cars... After their repairmen dismantle them, they send the scrapping work to me... It should be okay for me to make money from scraps, right?"

Xu Jianghua was a little angry as he spoke, "I don't know how the boss of Baixing squeezed me. He could say that there was something related to me in the refurbished parts. I was thinking that they did something! The things were sold from them, who knows what happened in the middle?"

Wen Chen snorted coldly, and was annoyed by his hesitation and laughed: "You remembered to drag someone into this? Didn't you introduce Fang Si and Hong Xinyu who originally ordered the accessories?"

"No, it's not like that. I was just drunk and had some small things on my mind. I drank too much and someone got hold of me."

Xu Jianghua rakes his head in a speechless manner, "The one who introduced the client was that psychopath Tang Jia."

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