Chapter 524: Rose-Hilltop (Part )

Case Seven Rose
Twenty-four Hills (Part 2)
"The suspects who met with Hong Xinyu probably knew that there was no risk of being seen on the road from the entrance of Masanjia Pump Factory to the old industrial factory area. There was not even a surveillance camera when they ran two miles on the road... So no matter day or night, they sneaked into the corners of Majia Lane, passed by the surveillance camera of the pump factory that could only see the main entrance, and walked back and forth a few times-"

Jiang Mo glanced at the sneaky figure on the projection screen, curled his lips and shrugged his shoulders, "However, the previous surveillance really didn't find much. The camera at the entrance of Masanjia Pump Factory was installed not long ago. The only one who really captured the movement trajectory was the skinny monkey who dared to hang around outside and trade goods recently."

Gu Xing blinked his eyes, hissed, and slowly frowned.

"The backdoor surveillance that Luo Shi revealed earlier... and the car owned by Liang Ji that was parked nearby to intentionally interfere with the sight of the heart-digging case... It made me upset for no reason at the beginning, but it turns out that it was waiting here. It turns out that it is related to the source of goods behind Liang Ming——"

Gu Xing paused for a few seconds as if thinking about something, his eyes falling on Wen Chen's serious and almost sinister brows, "... But this matter... is a bit contradictory? Liang Ji has long wanted to get rid of his brother's family assets. If it weren't for the reputation of the group and the so-called public opinion, that buddy would have wanted to pack up Liang Ming, the second-generation rich man, and send him to prison to be shot in the head... But is Luo Shi in the same group with Liang Ming? This Hong Xinyu is extremely cautious in appearance, but in fact, he has more or less some connections with those suspects who have been confirmed. If they grab this carrot head, they will uproot him and the surrounding mud will have to loosen up... Now, isn't it equivalent to Qing waiting for Hong Xinyu to 'sell out his boss for fame'?"

"It's hard to say." Jiang Mo raised his eyebrows and shook his head: "Letian'er and I followed Shouhou's ass and passed the surveillance range of Masanjia Pump Factory. Among the few remaining surveillance cameras, we unexpectedly ran into a person who parked his car strangely at the entrance of the alley next to the scrapped factory building to be demolished."

Jiang Mo turned his head slightly and glanced at Xiao Letian who was staring at the screen with an inexplicable dazed look. He snapped his fingers but saw no response. He simply reached out to grab the notebook and circled the blurry silhouette on the left side of the screen that was blocked by the car body. "The face is a bit blurry, but the license plate is a three-digit number. According to the model of the car and the time of approach, I found this car on the road surveillance on the nearby main road, and the suspicious person who got out of the car and strolled a few steps towards the factory area mysteriously at that time-"

"Lou Yao?"

When the photo of the suspected person was displayed on the screen, Gu Xing and Wen Chen frowned as if they had expected it. However, Yin Guiping's teeth clacked when chewing, and his face froze with a twisted look: "Why is it... him?"

"...familiar?" Gu Xing let out a surprised "whoa", raised the corner of his mouth and twitched his eyebrows subtly: "Such a big reaction? What's the matter? Did I make a mistake with him?"

"Tsk. Gu Xing, you really are... not as popular as you were when you were a kid! I'll complain to Secretary Li later and ask you to check that you didn't write enough!"

Yin Guiping waved his hands angrily, pointed his finger at Gu Xing's head as if accusing him, and vented his anger with his lips propped up. Then he leaned back in his chair with his arms folded. He was silent for half a minute before he spoke awkwardly in the face of the aggressive looks in the eyes of his accomplices in the room: "This guy is famous in our Johor Bahru! He said that he was fulfilling his sister's last wish. First, he often donated to various foundations here in the name of his sister's design studio. In the past six months, he has invested in several hills over there, at the border between our two cities, saying that he wants to develop tourism..." Gu Xing didn't hear half of the words, and suddenly he slammed his fist on the table: "I've actually heard about this, and it's on the news. At that time, I didn't see any connection with Louyao or Shengcheng International, and I thought it was just some local tycoon giving back to his hometown - wait a minute, the location of that hill seems to be..."

"One of the mountains was the arrest site of the '124' case." Yin Guiping paused with a sullen face, as if he felt the pain from the gunshot scars on his body, and shrugged his shoulders uncomfortably, "Those beasts smashed the bodies of the two brothers and scattered them all over the mountain. Until now, none of them have been found. I don't know what the leaders are talking about. Anyway, those old guys in our municipal bureau who usually laugh it off have all quit. The person who came to our bureau to discuss how to deal with this matter was this General Manager Lou Yaolou."

As soon as the name of the "124" case came out, the entire conference room fell silent and lonely.

The "124" case took place in Johor Bahru, but the drug-related case was closely related to Sheng'an. A criminal gang that had been dormant for many years was exposed for drug-related crimes and was jointly rounded up by the police from the two cities. During the arrest, the gang held the villagers at the foot of the mountain hostage and tried to escape. The situation was critical at the time, so the police sent two senior police officers to disguise themselves as replacements. As a result, they were successively discovered after leaving clues. After being brutally tortured, they were chopped up and scattered all over the mountain. At that time, the source of the goods involved in the criminal gang came from the unusual wine and cargo logistics of Fengxi and Bazhuang. After the encirclement and suppression operation, it took a year to cut into the criminal gang from the side without success. This is why Wen Chen was chosen from thousands of miles away and disappeared for four years.

The windows of the conference room were not open at the moment, but the cool night breeze was blowing very coldly, as if dragging people back to the mountain during a snowy blizzard in the middle of winter, and seeing the pink, white and scarlet colors all over the ground.

"...Anyway, after the bureau leaders made their intentions clear, Mr. Lou was quite cooperative. Although he spent money on the contract, he only demarcated the 124 mountain and protected its vegetation. He signed a guarantee agreement not to develop the project. He also said that if there is a chance in the future and the cemetery needs to be renovated, he is willing to make a follow-up investment..."

Yin Guiping scratched his head irritably, and wanted to throw down the file in his hand. He choked up a little, and laughed bitterly: "...I really can't accept this. The guy named Lou is as popular as Buddha in our place. Our director even took this guy out for a drink...Now this - the supply of goods here at Sheng'an is related to him?"

"Lou Yao is Liang Ji's uncle. It's hard to say whether they are related or not, but..."

Jiang Mo frowned and looked at Wen Chen, who was forced to be implicated because of the aftershocks of the "124" case. He swallowed hard to reduce the bitterness in his throat. "It's not difficult to check the small intersection where Lou Yao briefly stayed and the abandoned factory buildings nearby. Among them, there is a jewelry customization processing workshop that has been deregistered for some time-"

"Before the deregistration, the legal persons of the factory were Liang Ji's mother Lou Xin and Lou Yao."

"The year ends, and the new year begins again."
