Chapter 513: Rose-Seized (Part )

Case Seven Rose
19. Capture (Part 1)

The head of the Xinshan Anti-Drug Brigade rushed to the large conference room of the Sheng'an City Bureau where the special task force had just been cleared out a few days ago. He stood with his hands on his hips and blocked the young people who were choked by Gu Xing, the "charming" and deceitful old fox. He glanced over Captain Gu's shoulder, raised his head and glanced at Wen Chen, the young man who had dealt with them several times under the name of "Manager Chen", then retracted his gaze and glanced at Gu Xing, who was so angry that he was about to die. He didn't even say a few words to smooth things over. He sucked his teeth because of a headache and sighed worriedly.

Gu Xing was quite aware of his cheating. He glanced at the bitter and resentful face in front of him, not wanting to laugh out loud. He quickly reached out his hand and held the arm that was halfway raised on the other side in his arms: "Oh, it's not a big deal, Captain Yin, why did you come here in person?"

"S-Stop trying to get close to me!"

Yin Guiping is over forty years old and of considerable stature. He had been shot while on a mission a few years earlier, and the bullet nearly lodged in his spine. The damage from the old injury was all in his tendons and bones, and his back was always unconsciously hunched. He got angry when he raised his eyelids and saw Gu Xing's playful expression. He held his hand and shook it twice politely, stammered a word, and then tried his best to shake it off.

"I'm not saying anything bad about you, Gu Xing, but how come you, the captain of the criminal investigation team, are getting more and more lame as you become? Oh - so you are allowed to go through the case handling process, but we are not? Do we have to wait behind you to get a meal? Didn't you guys already interrogate him today? What's wrong with us taking that guy back? Why do we have to detain him here for interrogation? Does that mean we can't leave until we find the source of the supply and get to the bottom of this case? Do we have to set up a shack and an office here? - You are young and naughty, and you are not decent..."

"I don't know who is so dishonest... While Director Gao is not here, several cars of people came and blocked the entrance of Sheng'an City Bureau——"

Before Yin Guiping had finished his long-winded "instructions", Wen Chen, who was known as the "acting captain", snorted in dissatisfaction and leaned against the conference table. With his sarcastic words still on his lips, Gu Xing hit him on the arm with an elbow.

"Isn't this all for work and to investigate the case?... A lot of stuff has been found in Xinshan. If you don't figure out where this stuff came from, it will be difficult for you to report it. If this stuff really came out of Sheng'an, wouldn't you need your cooperation and help in the end?"

In the past six months, Xinshan has been dragged down by the Fengxibazhuang case before the Sheng'an New Year, and has suffered a not-so-small setback. The neighboring territories have been thoroughly investigated and liquidated, and even the big and small lamp holders that Xinshan has been eyeing for a long time have retracted their necks into their turtle shells out of fear. The "performance" that was originally in hand has disappeared on the spot and has been discounted. After finally catching a ripe duck in hand, no one can just hand it over to someone else's rice pot.

However, Sheng An had been laying the groundwork for several years to uncover the mastermind behind the Fengxibazhuang case. When the net was about to be closed, an undercover agent woke up and involved a chief and a deputy from the anti-drug squad. He had come this far after a bloody journey, and he obviously would not dare to let others get this important witness clue easily.

Gu Xing grabbed Yin Guiping's arm, which was swaying again and again, and put his arm around him, and sat down at the conference table while talking nonsense. When he failed to persuade Wen Chen to cooperate, he pulled Wen Chen, whose nose was looking up, and dug up the old stories of Zhang Yibai and He Dong, who were from the same school, and put the small splint of moral kidnapping on Yin Guiping. He coaxed and deceived the restlessness in the room, and patted the shoulder of old brother Yin for a long-term discussion.

Zhu Silai rushed back from the provincial central laboratory with a stack of test sheets and comparison reports. He pushed open the door of the conference room, but didn't catch up with the tense situation. He looked at Gu Xing's unlucky expression, who had worn out his lips because of his empty talk. He turned around and looked at Wen Chen, who was busy packing up his midnight snack after losing the game of rock-paper-scissors, and the two little scoundrels who were obviously cheating. He raised his hand and threw the documents in front of Gu Xing, took the lunch box handed over by Jiang Mo, and gave Gu Xing a teasing look: "You really coaxed him back?"

"Where... just talking and not giving any benefits, the vanguard is afraid that we will get wind of it, so they hide the people and don't give them. It's easy to fool them without a title - Captain Yin is an old hand, how can he listen to Old Gu's nonsense?" Jiang Mo directly poked her master's lungs, and was hit by Gu Xing's head, making her forehead red. She covered her forehead and hid a few steps away, then slipped behind Zhu Silai with disposable chopsticks: "Secretary Li is here, saying that he will help their brothers in Xinshan. No matter how the case is investigated, she and Director Gao will definitely give them a satisfactory answer... It's the middle of the night, Captain Yin still has to give face to the leaders of the Municipal Bureau. Secretary Li personally sent the people to the hotel for dinner, and left Old Gu here to write a letter of apology."

"What self-criticism do you need to write... Who called Secretary Li back? It had to be Lao Gao. Why don't you think about who your family members are on your side?"

Gu Xing glanced at her, staring at Xiao Letian who didn't dare to order Wen Chen to empty the trash can and ran ahead. He raised his finger and scolded him twice, "Secretary Li asked us to wait for you here. No matter what, we have to get the first-hand information first. The batch of goods seized in Xinshan and the scattered goods that Sheng'an has distributed in the city in the past few months-"

"Looking at the report, the ingredients are basically the same."

Zhu Silai rubbed the disposable chopsticks and curled his lips, "It's a pity that the people in Johor Bahru were afraid that we would take the opportunity to deduct money, so they didn't even ask to bring a sample."

"You know everything about this. If I want to read it carefully, I have to borrow a pair of reading glasses from Geng Zhi..." Gu Xing took a quick look and handed the report to Wen Chen, who came forward a few steps. Before loosening his fingertips, he glanced at the words on the conclusion column at the bottom of the page and took a breath of cold air in confusion: "...Then why is there inconsistency in the report?"

Zhu Silai raised his eyebrows and choked on the stewed potatoes in his lunch box, staring: "...You are looking at another report. When I was interrogating the skinny young man detained from Hong Xinyu's pharmacy, he mentioned it when he explained the whole process of contacting Hong Xinyu. I felt that something was wrong, so I asked Wen Chen to apply for another sample. This inconsistent result was compared with the batch of goods seized in Fengxi and Bazhuang."

"That kid seemed to say... that he wasn't that addicted during his time in Fengxi, but later he finally contacted Hong Xinyu to get the drug, but the addiction came back hard, and the visits to the small pharmacy became closer and closer."

Jiang Mo raised his eyes and saw Wen Chen holding the file and tilting his head to indicate that he wanted her to look through it together. He shook his head and didn't move forward. He crossed his arms and thought for a while. His heart sank suddenly: "Did they change the formula?"

Zhu Silai nodded and looked at Gu Xing’s furrowed brows with a heavy look.

"From my point of view, there are two possibilities. One is to check the parts that were missed at Fengxiba Village, and someone is trying to increase the purity and significantly reduce the amount, waiting for an opportunity to smuggle it in for sale; or..."

Gu Xing snorted coldly and continued Zhu Silai's introduction.

"Shengchengjisu... maybe he is an unlucky guy who has been blamed twice for no apparent reason."

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