C1223 Hands-free
Qiu Tong immediately came up to me and looked at me.
I hit the answer button and picked up Qin Lu's phone with the hands-free device.
"Qin Lu, what's the situation?" I said, glancing at Qiu Tong, who was staring intently at her cell phone.
"Yi Ke, I just asked a friend from the city police department to ask about the situation. According to the leader of the security team, the situation is like this." Qin Lu said: "They have received reports from the masses that there have been women engaged in prostitution at the Spring Hotel for a long time, and that there have also been people who have gathered in the Spring Hotel to gamble and use drugs for a long time. They say that these activities were orchestrated by the management and management of the hotel, and that the hotel has a share of the profits.
They had been secretly watching for a while and had solid evidence. Then, they made a sudden arrest today and caught the customers and ladies who were trading in different rooms, as well as the gamblers who were gambling. They also seized some of the ice poison and drug tools at the gambling den. The security forces were currently interrogating the captives individually. As for the final outcome of the interrogation, it was still hard to say. But it seems... "The situation isn't looking too good."
"What's wrong with that?" "No," I said.
If the ladies and gamblers were supported by the hotel, and if they bit themselves and claimed that the hotel was divided into two, then things would become troublesome. It would be tantamount to a hotel breaking the law, engaging in sex and gambling operations, then Hai Zhu and Director Zhang, as the hotel's manager and manager, might not be able to escape responsibility, so they would have to bear the legal responsibility. There was a hint of worry in Qin Lu's voice.
"Then what's the next step?" "No," I said.
"Now these people are all being interrogated by the security forces. The next step. However, Hai Zhu and Director Zhang might be of a different nature. According to the relevant laws, if they were to be found out, they would have to be sent to a detention center, then submitted to the prosecution for arrest, and then the court would give a verdict. In addition to a fine, he would be punished with imprisonment for a minor offence and sentencing for a serious offence. Even if it is not submitted to the prosecution, there may be a possibility of re-education through labour. "
I was startled and nervous.
Qiu Tong pursed her lips and frowned.
Qin Lu continued, "I just told this friend in the city police department that Hai Zhu and Director Zhang are my friends. I asked him to speak to the head of the security force and ask if he can deal with them. It doesn't matter if he gets punished a bit more, but please don't take the detention center to the procuratorate. This friend of mine will then do as I say, but in the end —"
"But what?" "No," I said.
"The head of the security team has a good personal relationship with my friend from the city's police department, but this time, he is in a difficult situation. If it is like in the past, he can just give us some money and let us go, but this time, it is not so easy. Say that I can't give this friend from the city's police department face. " Qin Lu said.
"Oh, why?" "No," I said.
"From what my friend said, the leader of the security forces seemed to be hesitating to speak. There seems to be something that is hard to say, as if someone is paying attention to this matter. He can't leave us alone."
Qin Lu said: "My friend from the City Police Department was confused, no matter how I asked him, he just said it in a casual manner and laughed. After that, my friend asked me if Hai Zhu or Zhang Xiaotian offended someone from a powerful background, or some high ranking official of the Public Security System. I also think there seems to be a reason for this.
"Hey — — Yi Ke, have you offended Hai Zhu or Zhang Xiaotian? Although the men of the Sheriff's Company said that they had been reported by the masses for their actions, it seems that they were more likely to have received instructions from someone to arrest them. "
After listening to Qin Lu's explanation, I understood most of it, so I said to her, "I don't know about this, and I know that you've done your best. I'm really grateful to you for finding out about this, but I'll think of another way."
Qin Lu said, "If Hai Zhu and Zhang Xiaotian don't admit that they have committed illegal acts, I don't think they will be sent to the jail for the time being. They will still have to stay in the police force. I asked the friend from the city police to greet the leader of the security team. He was not allowed to torture them or force them to confess. The person in charge agreed and said that he would definitely enforce the law in a civilized manner. You can rest assured on this point. "
My heart couldn't help but be grateful to Qin Lu. I was actually very worried that Hai Zhu and Zhang Xiaotian would be tortured to make a confession after entering, so I expressed my gratitude to Qin Lu once again.
Qin Lu paused for a moment, then suddenly said, "Oh right, Yi Ke, how about I go find Secretary Lei, who is also the police chief. With one word from him, everything will be fine."
Qin Lu is an outsider, how could she know that Lei Zheng and I have a feud, finding Lei Zheng is equivalent to walking into a trap. If it was any other person who encounters this kind of situation, Lei Zheng might give Qin Lu face, but Lei Zheng would definitely not give Qin Lu face, and not only that, Qin Lu might go and look for him, which might cause Lei Zheng to become even more suspicious of Qin Lu, which might even harm Qin Lu.
I quickly and firmly stopped Qin Lu and thanked her again.
Then I hung up.
I know Qin Lu will feel very puzzled, I do not understand why I do not let her go to Lei Zheng to plead.
At this moment, Qiu Tong let out a long breath, looked at me, and slowly said, "Fourth Brother is right. There is indeed a reason for this. I seem to understand it now."
I said, "You know why?"
Qiu Tong said, "It seems, I feel that this is a trap, a conspiracy. Hai Zhu and Zhang Xiaotian fell into the trap and were plotted against. Someone was behind this. "He is obviously trying to enforce the law impartially by coming to the hotel, but in reality, he is aiming at Hai Zhu and Zhang Xiaotian —"
Qiu Tong stopped abruptly and looked at me sharply. Then she shivered, and a look of fear flashed in her eyes.
I couldn't help but admire Qiu Tong's keen perception and perception. She quickly came to the same conclusion as me.
At this moment, Fourth Brother returned.
"I just entered the hotel's surveillance room through the bathroom's back window. I've looked through all the surveillance videos for the past month." Fourth Brother shook the tape in his hand and continued: "Then, I just got a few waiters at the front desk to ask them in detail about the people who were taken away today, the Miss and a few gamblers, and they booked a room here half a month ago. But the hotel staff didn't know what they were doing. They all had legal credentials and usually seemed to be very well-mannered people. "No one would have thought that they were here to rent a room for prostitution and gamble."
"If they want to sell, they can find a secluded place to rent their house. If they want to gamble, they can also find a remote house. Why would they buy a room in a hotel for a long time? This is obviously not worthwhile economically, and it is not safe either. " "No," I said.
"That's the problem." Fourth Brother continued, "I now very much suspect that these people who gamble in prostitution are here on purpose. They must have been ordered to come with a purpose. They are not deliberately gambling and taking drugs in prostitution, but they have ulterior motives. "
Qiu Tong stood aside and listened attentively to Fourth Brother and me.
"Do you have any proof?" "No," I said.
"I saw in the video that someone had been in and out of the two rooms where prostitution and gambling took place," Liu said. A few days ago. This person, I am familiar with you. "
"Who —" I said.
"Alai —" Fourth Brother said.
"Alai …" I nodded. "I understand, I finally understand."
Fourth Brother nodded: "Obviously, it was manipulated by that person behind the scenes."
"Who is Alai?" "Who is that person?" Qiu Tong suddenly asked.
I looked at Qiu Tong and didn't say anything for a while.
Fourth Brother looked at me but didn't say anything.
"Tell me, who is Alai? Who did you say was behind the scenes? " Qiu Tong pursued her line of questioning with a serious tone. "Don't think that you can hide your matters from me just because I don't know anything. You're still hiding things from me at this time? "Quickly speak —"
I looked at Fourth Brother again and then at Qiu Tong. "Okay, let me tell you, Alai is one of Wu De's men. Fourth Brother and I suspect that Wu De was the mastermind behind the plot. "
I know, some things can't be hidden from Qiu Tong, sooner or later she will know. In fact, even if I hadn't told her today, she might have felt it already. After all, she knew the relationship between Wu De and Lee Shun from the beginning, and she also had some understanding about Wu De.
"Wu De can control public security?" Qiu Tong looked confused.
I simply did not beat around the bush and said, "Wu De and Lei Zheng have an unusual relationship. Lei Zheng was Bai Laosan's brother-in-law. Lei Zheng Wu De and Bai Laosan are a gang of gangsters. Even though there is no direct evidence, but I have always suspected that Bai Laosan was killed by Lei Zheng and Wu De, and then the blame would fall on Boss Lee. "
Qiu Tong's body trembled violently as if she was shocked by something. However, she then took a deep breath and looked at the ceiling silently.
"Since Miss and the gambler are both their men, they must have been taught in the Sheriff's Squadron how to give false confessions, and they must have agreed that their actions were supported by the hotel, tacitly agreed, that they were to give the hotel a share, and even that the hotel was the one who offered them a place to engage them in prostitution and gambling, and that the hotel was the one to take it."
Fourth Brother looked worried. "If that's the case. In that case, it would be very disadvantageous for Hai Zhu and Zhang Xiaotian. This would be charged with organizing prostitution and gambling and, once convicted, would be against the laws of the country. "
A shiver went down my spine. I knew Fourth Brother's words weren't exaggerated. It was quite possible.
Qiu Tong's expression suddenly became very cold. She tightly bit her lips as an angry look appeared in her eyes.
I knew in my heart that Wu De had extended his hand to the hotel. He wanted to start with Hai Zhu and Zhang Xiaotian, and the purpose of using them was obviously not just to destroy the hotel, but also to target these two people. He definitely had a deeper motive for doing so. As for his true intentions, I can't think of them for the time being. But I knew it had to do with me and Lee Shun.
I thought about it nervously, but I couldn't think of anything I could do. The powerful state machine was in the hands of the conspirators. The conspirators would enforce the law in the name of the emperor, and no one would be able to stop them.
I kept smoking. Fourth Brother sat there with his head down, deep in thought. Qiu Tong turned back to the window and looked out into the night with her arms crossed.
It was dark, but none of us thought to turn on the light in the room.
We were all silent and thinking in the dark.
Just then, the office door was pushed open again. A calm figure was standing in the doorway, and then the room's light was turned on with a "Pa" sound.2
It was Leh.
