A century-old wealthy family that rose from Shanghai

Chapter 56 Everyone gets the stolen goods
After Li Chao learned what happened, he asked, "What do you want to do?"

Obviously, he can help, and help with all his strength.

But he was somewhat helpless in this kind of covert operation.

Chen Guangliang said confidently, "Now every car dealership has our admirers. It won't be difficult to find out which dealership the car is in!"

Li Chao immediately said, "Then let Inspector Gao come forward and catch the perpetrators red-handed?"

Chen Guangliang shook his head and said, "Inspector Gao isn't very reliable. This might just end up being a lot of noise but little action. This isn't the outcome I want. I want to give these people a serious warning. So, I deliberately didn't report the case."

Li Chao was a little confused and said, "How can we give them serious consequences?"

Chen Guangliang said: "It's very simple. This legitimate yellow-plate rickshaw with the number 8678 is still in our hands. So the rickshaws with the same number in their hands must be fake."

Li Chao's eyes lit up, and he said, "The counterfeiting of license plates can be a big deal or a small one. Our Traffic Department will step in and shut down his dealership and inspect the license plates. This will take some time."

Chen Guangliang laughed and said, "Over a hundred cars cost over a hundred yuan a day to rent. It's normal for you to inspect them for a week or two. After all, they forged the license plates first."

The owner information of every yellow-plate vehicle's license plate is registered in the traffic department's files, and the license plate is theoretically "non-transferable registration."

In this case, the license plate registered under Changjiang Car Dealership is real.

The same license plate in someone else's hands must be fake.

Li Chao said, "Then we must catch that car. Don't alert the enemy yet. Tell our traffic department to catch them in the act."

Chen Guangliang nodded and said, "That's exactly what I thought."

It just so happened that the car that was lost this time was a project carried out in cooperation with the Transportation Department, so they naturally had to do their best to punish the murderer.

After Li Chao left, Inspector Gao also came to the Changjiang Car Dealership.

As for Inspector Gao, Chen Guangliang just talked about this incident and didn't say much.

Inspector Gao was still very angry and said, "This is too outrageous. They actually robbed the rickshaw openly. Don't worry, brother. I will send someone to investigate this matter for you."

Chen Guangliang said: "Thank you very much, brother."

Inspector Gao said righteously, "I'm also a shareholder of the Changjiang Motor Company. How could I not be concerned about this matter? But brother, who do you suspect the most?"

Chen Guangliang shook his head and said, "I don't have any suspects yet, but I believe they will commit crimes again soon. They will eventually reveal their true colors."

Inspector Gao said, "Brother, this is actually quite easy to investigate. I'll have plainclothes officers investigate and let you know if I find anything!"

"Thank you, brother. Don't worry, this small loss won't shake the Changjiang Motor Company, and our collaborative project will be fine. Just wait for your share of the profits!"

"Haha, I feel relieved with your words."

After seeing off Inspector Gao, Chen Guangliang seemed to be thinking about something.

The so-called "plainclothes officer" is a person who knows everything, and Huang Jinrong once held this position.

If Inspector Gao is really willing to help, it means that he is still worth sociable.

Of course, Chen Guangliang's main goal was to file a case with Inspector Gao. If he could catch the thief red-handed, he could put pressure on the car thief from the police station.

On the third day, the Yangtze River Car Company lost another rickshaw. The same thing happened: the driver was put in a sack and beaten, and the rickshaw was stolen.

For a time, some rickshaw drivers were in panic. Fortunately, the company not only arranged for the drivers to get medicine, but also did not mention the loss of their rickshaws at all.

Of course by this time, the clue to the first lost rickshaw had been found.

When the rickshaw driver was about to pick up a passenger, he was immediately blocked by patrol police, traffic officials, and people from the Yangtze River Vehicle Company.

"Boss, what's going on?"

The driver was shaking with fear, and it felt like he was going to bleed heavily today.

"Are you from that car dealership?" the patrol officer demanded. Today was a joint enforcement operation, and the patrol officer was specifically working with the Traffic Division to catch fake license plates.

Han's Car Dealership

At this time, Lin Feng saw the license plate on the rickshaw and said, "Mr. Li, Boss, the license plate of this car is exactly the same as ours, but ours is an official license plate registered by the Traffic Department, so this car must have a fake license plate."

Li Chao said cooperatively, "Well, I remember this license plate was issued to your Changjiang Car Dealership. It seems that Han's Car Dealership made a fake license plate without authorization. Let's go to their dealership right away!"

Before the driver could figure out what was going on, he was being escorted towards Han's carriage.

On the way, he finally understood the truth of the matter and begged for mercy.

"Tell the truth and you won't be held responsible. Otherwise, you'll go to jail!"

"Yes, sir. I heard this car is a new one."

The Traffic Department dispatched two staff members, four patrol officers, and two people from the Changjiang Motor Company to assist.

Soon, they arrived at Han’s car dealership in a mighty procession.

"Master, it's bad, the patrol is here!"

Han Yanbao was smoking opium and was frightened. After all, a thief is always guilty.

"what's up?"

"They said our dealership was producing fake license plates on a large scale, so they are suspending all our operations and all vehicles need to be inspected!"

"Fake license plates are bullshit. Every one of our license plates is legitimate."

Han Yanbao first breathed a sigh of relief, then stood up angrily and walked outside.

If it was about the fake license plate, he would definitely teach these people a lesson, because he had nothing to hide.

When he walked outside and saw Li Chao, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.

He remembered that this person seemed to be a partner of the Changjiang Car Dealership, but was also from the Transportation Department.

"Everyone, is there any misunderstanding? We have 152 rickshaws in our dealership, and every one of them is registered with the Traffic Department. They have real license plates!"

Li Chao smiled and said, "Today we were checking for fake license plates on the road, and we found a rickshaw from your bank using the license plate 8678. According to our investigation, this vehicle is registered to the Changjiang Vehicle Dealership, but now someone from your dealership is pulling it. We strongly suspect that your dealership has other fake license plates. So, please cooperate, Mr. Han, as we are conducting a joint law enforcement operation today."

Han Yanbao was so angry that he was vomiting blood. He wanted to say that the car was "stolen," but the patrol officers would obviously still care. But if he said it was his, they would insist that the license plate was fake.

"What a misunderstanding! What a misunderstanding! I bought this rickshaw from someone else. So, maybe the Changjiang Car Dealership lost it, and I happened to buy it."

Lin Feng immediately stepped forward and said, "Boss Han, we at Changjiang Car Dealership have never lost a car. Car 8678 is still being rented out."

Han Yanbao knew that he had been tricked. Now he regretted that he should not have been careless and should have thrown the car away directly.

"That's all fake, it has nothing to do with us!"

Li Chao said firmly, "Boss Han, please accept the inspection. Starting today, our Traffic Division and patrol officers will conduct a comprehensive inspection of your dealership. Therefore, you cannot operate any of your vehicles. Otherwise, I will apply to the Traffic Division to revoke your dealership's right to operate all vehicles."

Even if Han Yanbao knew now that Li Chao was seeking revenge for personal gain, what could he do? After all, he was caught red-handed.

“How many days will the inspection take?”

"That's pending. We need to prepare the documentation for all the vehicles, which may take a week, or two. But all 152 vehicles need to be returned here."

"You and I are going to report you to your superiors!"

"This operation, which resulted in the arrest of both the perpetrator and the evidence, was authorized by our superiors."
