The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 226 Human Smuggling
Ever since he learned that Tan Xiaoya met this Gu Lei in the dance hall and the two fell in love, Cheng Mo arranged for Shen Mo to investigate the origin of this Gu Lei.

This guy is very greasy, and he is not a good person at first glance.

This kind of person is extremely common in places like dance halls. Basically, most young people are like this.

Women, most of them are love brains.

As long as the man catches his eye, he can say a few sweet words and spend a little more generously. How many women can resist such temptation?
The same goes for men. As long as there is enough temptation, it is really difficult to resist.

"Gu Lei, whose real name is Gu Xiaotian, is from Huishan, Wuxi. He has been living in Shanghai since he was twelve years old because of his handsome appearance..."

"This guy used to work as a waiter at the New Asia Hotel in the North Sichuan Road area for a while. In addition, he is probably a member of the Zodiac Society, but he shouldn't be a big shot!"

Shen Mo's investigation was very detailed. At the Xianles Dance Hall, he had a wider network of contacts and better information.

This position was more extensive than the intelligence he had gained at the tram plant.

"He also opened a private room at the Huizhong Hotel on Sanma Road for no more than a month, but with his financial resources, he could not afford such a large consumption. He did not smoke, but he gambled and often went to a hotel called The casino in 'Hollywood' used to be a frequent visitor to the Grand View Garden Bathhouse."

"I can't ask you what you did when you went out."

"clear."

"Where's Lao Lin? What's he doing? I haven't seen him since he went to work this morning?"

"Okay, you go."

In the afternoon, Lin Huarong came back and went straight upstairs to see Cheng Mo, saying that he had important news to report.

"clear."

"Keep an eye on the "Daimei Evening News" for me. The frequency of reports has been a bit high recently. Don't get into trouble." Cheng Mo ordered again.

"Yes."

"Tan Cheng, I have received news that a cargo ship will leave the Shiliupu Pier tomorrow night. On board are smuggled contraband and women who are being trafficked to Nanyang."

……

……

"Almost every day. There are so many tricks in the casinos in western Shanghai. Once you enter, you have to peel off your skin to get out. I haven't heard of a few people who made a fortune by winning money from gambling." Xu Qinghe nodded.

"Have there been frequent cases of people losing their fortune through gambling recently?" Cheng Mo asked as he took off his coat and hung it on a hanger.

"Help me keep an eye on him. If there is any abnormal movement, notify me as soon as possible."

"I haven't heard of it, but recently, some people say that he spends money lavishly and loses hundreds of dollars in the casino without blinking an eye." Shen Mo said, "I haven't seen him borrowing usury from the casino."

"Human smuggling and trafficking!" Cheng Mo was startled. He knew that human trafficking was rampant in the concessions. There were people who arrested people in the two concessions to do this kind of "extermination of children and grandchildren." This kind of business was not a secret, but no one investigated it.

Of course, Cheng Mo couldn't refuse.

"Boss, today's news is that a diplomat's wife committed suicide because of gambling." Xu Qinghe came in with a newspaper.

"Listen up, you guys. If I find out that you are gambling, I will fire you immediately and I will never give you any chance." Cheng Mo said.

"Does he have any gambling debts?"

The European and American powers don't care, the traffickers are all Chinese, and besides, they can get a lot of benefits from it.

However, legally, human trafficking is prohibited.

If you touch other people's wealth, they will definitely fight you to the death. What does Lin Huarong mean by revealing such news to himself? Cheng Mo suddenly felt the other party's sinister intentions.

"That's right, this cargo ship belongs to the Canadian Steamship Company. Detective Lin, do you want to report it to the superiors?" Lin Huarong asked tentatively.

"Is the news reliable?" Cheng Mo asked quietly.

"There should be no problem. The information this line gave me was correct," Lin Huarong said.

"In this case, you go and inquire about the departure time of the ship and the personnel configuration on the ship. Be sure to be as detailed as possible." Cheng Mo ordered.

"Yes, Detective Cheng." Lin Huarong nodded in agreement.

Human trafficking is a criminal case and a matter of the Criminal Division. As a deputy detective in the political unit, he has no reason to take care of it.

But since he encountered such a case, he couldn't really pretend that he didn't see it. These girls were abducted and trafficked to Nanyang. It is estimated that they will never be able to reunite with their relatives in this life, or even die in a foreign land.

I can't bear it.

Why did Lin Huarong give this news to himself? He could directly contact the Criminal Division, so why should he report it to himself?

The right thing to do is that, but the right thing to do is not necessarily the right thing to do.

The case was transferred to the Criminal Division, and Chief Inspector Yogan is the mastermind behind human trafficking. Of course, he is not the only one doing this business. If it is him this time, once the news leaks out, he will let the thieves go. Catch himself, is that possible?
Lin Huarong is Tan Shaoliang's man. Cheng Mo has already detected this.

Could it be that this was a hole dug for him by Tan Shaoliang?
It's not impossible.

Yougan is the chief inspector of China, and his influence is deeply rooted in the Laozha Police House and even the British Concession. Even though his power is not as strong as before, it is not something that a young man who has only been in the Patrol House for less than a year can shake.

If Tan Shaoliang had a head-on conflict with Cheng Mo, the British would be unhappy, but if he provoked a conflict between Cheng Mo and You Agen and stayed out of it, that would be another matter.

This is the only possibility.

Power struggles in the workplace are ubiquitous and hard to guard against.

It was not difficult to break the situation. He could directly go to You Agen to explain the matter and show that he did not cross the line. The hole Tan Shaoliang dug for him would be completely useless.

Yogento bought abducted girls from northern Jiangsu and other places, and then sold them to Changsantangzi in the concession and some fireworks halls. I didn't hear that he had channels for selling them to Nanyang.

Those who traffic people overseas are generally members of the Shantou Gang in Guangdong and the Chaozhou Triad in Fujian. They have close ties with Nanyang and have channels for transporting people out.

There are also laborers who are sold to Europe and South America. There are very few of them now. The concessions have become isolated islands and it is difficult to get out.

The matter involved a Canadian cargo ship. Cheng Mo didn't dare to make the decision without authorization and had to ask Pride and York for instructions.

However, he had no plans to report it until the matter was clear. After all, it was just a piece of news and it was unclear whether it was true or false.

In the evening, return home.

Su Moer told Cheng Mo about Tan Xiaoya's intention to resign.

Now Cheng Mo was 100% sure that this Tan Xiaoya was deceived by Gu Lei and returned to Hangzhou to meet his parents. Where did he get his parents?
Even if there were, it would be in Wuxi, not Hangzhou at all.

Now it's obvious.

"Okay, Mo'er, you don't have to worry about Tan Xiaoya's matter, I'll handle it." Cheng Mo comforted Su Mo'er.

"Ah Mo, she is the first friend I met at Jiren Hospital. No matter what, I don't want anything to happen to her." Su Mo'er nodded.

"Do not worry."
