Qindao City Public Security Bureau.
Han Bin's office.
After reporting the results of the search, Han Bin had been waiting in the office. He had to report to the Provincial Office before carrying out the specific operation. Otherwise, he would be held responsible if something went wrong during the operation.
Han Bin couldn't afford it, and neither could Ding Xifeng and Feng Baoguo.
In order to save time, Han Bin didn't go to the cafeteria to eat. Instead, he made a bowl of instant noodles.
A bowl of instant noodles and a ham. He wasn't full, but he wasn't hungry either.
As a police officer, there were many occupational diseases, and the most common one was stomach problems.
The main reason was that he couldn't eat on time.
Therefore, as long as he wasn't particularly busy, Han Bin would take time to eat on time. Whether it was instant noodles or snacks, it was fine as long as he wasn't hungry.
The body was the capital of revolution.
Knock, knock …
Someone knocked on the door.
"Come in."
"Creak …" The door opened and Ding Xifeng walked in.
Han Bin quickly got up. "Captain, why are you here? If there's anything, just give me a call and I'll be there."
Ding Xifeng waved his hand. "I'm on the way, so you don't have to run around anymore. There's news from the Provincial Office."
"What did they say?"
"The Provincial Office attached great importance to the clues and evidence we passed to them. They're ready to immediately interrogate Sun Youguo and Chen Qifeng. At the same time, our Qindao City Public Security Bureau will be responsible for the arrest of Qifeng International. They won't be sending anyone over."
Han Bin smiled. "This time, we didn't work in vain."
"Don't be happy too early. Power and responsibility are equal. They gave us the opportunity. If we can't catch them, we'll have to bear the responsibility."
"Yes, I'll do my best to complete this task."
…
Provincial Public Security Bureau, Criminal Investigation Corps, Serious Crime Division.
In a closed interrogation room, Sun Youguo was handcuffed to an interrogation chair.
Huang Kuangshi and Bao Xing were sitting behind the interrogation table with ugly expressions.
Huang Kuangshi crossed his arms and glared at Sun Youguo. "Sun Youguo, where are your accomplices?"
Sun Youguo was puzzled. "Captain Huang, didn't I tell you already? All I know is that place. I've already fallen out with them. Maybe they don't trust me and escaped to another place. I really don't know. "
"Did you really break up with your partner?"
"Yeah, that's why I came to Qin Island. I don't want to get involved in this kidnapping case anymore."
"Have you heard of Qifeng International Transportation Company?"
"I … didn't."
"You're lying. Not only have you heard of it, but you've also called this company and even went there in person. The police have investigated your whereabouts and what you've done. Tell me, what did you do at Qifeng International Transportation Company?"
"I didn't do anything, I just …" Sun Youguo stuttered and couldn't explain clearly.
"What are you? Did you go? Answer me directly? "
"I'm going." Sun Youguo lowered his head, his forehead covered with beads of sweat.
"Where did he go?"
"To see a friend."
"What friend are you looking at?"
"A former friend. He used to work at Qifeng International Transportation Company. I went to look for him that day, but he wasn't there anymore, so I left."
"Whether it's a former friend or a current friend, you all have a name. Tell me, I'll go to Qifeng International Transportation Company to investigate."
"I only know his nickname, but not his real name."
"Hehe, you call him a friend?" Huang Kuangshi stood up and walked to the interrogation table. "Do you think we, the police, will believe such a lie that's full of loopholes? Do you think I'm a fool? Do you think I'm easy to fool?
Do you know that you've made me lose face?! "
"Captain Huang, I don't know what you're talking about. I really don't understand."
"Stop pretending. The Qin Island police re-searched your house and found an ID and a receipt from Qifeng International Transportation Company in a secret compartment on the bedside table. You didn't fall out with your partner at all. The reason you went to Qin Island was to pick up something from Qifeng International Transportation Company, right?"
Sun Youguo's face turned ugly, but he still didn't answer directly.
Huang Kuangshi continued, "We also found out that the owner of Qifeng International Transportation Company is called Chen Qifeng, the father of the kidnapped girl, Chen Xin. You've been in contact with him. We've already sent people to arrest Chen Qifeng.
When he's arrested, he'll be interrogated immediately. If you don't say anything, I can guarantee that he won't say anything. "
Sun Youguo was silent for a moment, his breathing quickened. "Captain Huang, can I drink some water?"
Huang Kuangshi gave Bao Xing a look. Bao Xing picked up the disposable paper cup on the table and poured a cup of warm water for Sun Youguo. "Our patience is limited. Since you've been arrested by the police, don't even think about leaving if you don't give a clear explanation. You're still holding on to hope at this time, are you stupid? "
Sun Youguo drank the water and seemed to have thought it through, "Captain Huang, you're really good at predicting things. You're right, I did lie."
Hearing this, the corner of Huang Kuangshi's mouth twitched. He seemed to find it a little ironic.
If it wasn't for the news from the Qingdao police, he would still be kept in the dark. He would've thought that there was a problem with the arrest operation. Little did he know that the kidnappers had been in contact with the father of the hostage, which was equivalent to planting a spy in the police department. How could they possibly catch the suspect?
"Cut the crap. Hurry up and tell me, where are your accomplices?"
"Captain Huang, I really don't know. After I was arrested, I haven't been in contact with them for a long time. They must've noticed something was wrong and moved to a place I don't know. I really can't tell you."
"Then tell me everything you know."
Sun Youguo thought for a moment and said, "You're right. We did contact Chen Qifeng privately. I did go to Qingdao to pick up something from Chen Qifeng's company, but I didn't expect that I would be arrested by you before I could get it. I was shocked at the time. I didn't expect you to find me so quickly."
"Alright, cut the nonsense. Let me ask you, what's the relationship between you and Chen Qifeng?"
"We used to be partners. To be exact, Chen Qifeng and my boss were partners, but this kid broke the contract and didn't keep his word. My boss will definitely punish him."
"Who's your boss?"
"Old Cat."
"How do you contact Old Cat?"
"I didn't contact Old Cat directly. I only contacted him through Cheng Weikui. I've already given you Cheng Weikui's number, so I don't have any other way."
"Cheng Weikui's number can't be reached. Do you have any other way to contact him?"
"No, I'm not lying about that. Old Cat is a very cautious person. He sets up layers upon layers of traps. If there's a single mistake, they'll notice. Then, he goes missing. Sometimes, we can't even find him. "
"What's the relationship between Chen Qifeng and Old Cat?"
"Chen Qifeng helped Old Cat transport some contraband from abroad. The profits were very high. Chen Qifeng started his business with this, and later, his business expanded. Due to the pandemic, the international transportation industry became stricter, so Chen Qifeng didn't want to work with Old Cat anymore. He was afraid of the risks.
Old Cat relied on this, and it was equivalent to cutting off his source of income. Old Cat naturally wouldn't let him go, so he planned on kidnapping his daughter to force him to continue working with them. Unexpectedly, there was a boy in the car on the day of the kidnapping. At this point, they could only kidnap him as well. What happened next spiraled out of control. The boy's parents called the police, and it escalated. "
"Are the two hostages still safe?"
"The last time I contacted Cheng Weikui, they were fine. I'm not sure now."
"You went to Qifeng International Transportation Company to transport a batch of contraband?"
"Yes."
"What are they?"
"Thai silicone pillows and mattresses."
"Continue." Huang Kuang Shike didn't believe the robbers would take such a huge risk just to transport these things.
"There are also … guns in the silicone mattress."
"How many guns?"
"I'm not sure."
"What kind of guns?"
"There are pistols, rifles, sniper rifles, and grenades."
Huang Kuang Shike drew a cold gasp. These heavy weapons were rarely used by the police. "Are you sure they're transporting these things?"
"I heard it from Cheng Weikui. I'm not sure about the specifics."
"How many guns and grenades are there?"
"Should be quite a lot."
"The exact number?"
"About a dozen guns and quite a number of grenades, and they're all very powerful."
Huang Kuang Shike realized the severity of the problem. If these guns entered the market, the consequences would be dire. "Why do you need so many guns?"
"I'm not sure either. Old Cat is the one who negotiates the deals. Someone else probably wants to buy them. Old Cat is actually a middleman. He doesn't have many people, so he doesn't need so many weapons. "
"Who is Old Cat going to trade the guns with?"
"I'm really not sure. Old Cat is very cunning. He won't tell us everything."
"If you weren't arrested by the police, when would you have gone to collect the goods?"
"2 PM this afternoon, at the third cargo dock."
"Why didn't you say anything before?"
"I was just hoping that I would be lucky. I thought you only knew about the kidnapping case and not the gun smuggling case, so I didn't say anything. Also, if I told you, I was afraid that Old Cat and the buyer would take revenge. Old Cat is very powerful, so I didn't dare offend him. "
Huang Kuang Shike thought for a moment. "Old Cat still hopes to cooperate with Chen Qifeng, which means that he won't kill Chen Qifeng's daughter unless something unexpected happens. What about the boy? After this, will they kill the hostages? "
"That's not necessarily true. Maybe, maybe not. It all depends on the specific situation."
Huang Kuang Shike checked his notes. He was almost done with his questioning. He walked out of the interrogation room to report to his superior and send the evidence and clues he had obtained to the police as soon as possible. This batch of goods was too important and dangerous. He had to be careful when he set up surveillance at Qifeng Transportation Company.
Not long after, Chen Qifeng was also taken into the police station. It was a secret arrest.
Without any delay, Huang Kuang Shike immediately made a statement for him.
Although Sun Youguo had confessed, Sun Youguo had been arrested yesterday and had lost contact with the kidnappers. He didn't know the kidnappers' movements, but Chen Qifeng was different. He was likely to be able to contact the suspects.
Chen Qifeng was invited to the police station. He thought that the police wanted to discuss the case with him, but he didn't know that the police had already found out that he was in contact with the kidnappers. He only realized that something was wrong when he was searched and his phone was taken away, but it was already too late.
Chen Qifeng was brought into the interrogation room.
Chen Qifeng looked anxious the moment he entered the room.
When he saw Huang Kuang Shike, Chen Qifeng squeezed out a smile. "Captain Huang, is there a misunderstanding? Why are you handcuffing me?"
"Humph, you don't know what you've done, and you're asking me."
"I really don't know what you're talking about."
"Chen Qifeng, let me ask you. Are you in contact with the kidnappers in private?"
Chen Qifeng's expression changed. He sighed. "How did you know?"
"The police have already investigated all the clues in this case, including some of your actions. Don't try to be lucky anymore. Confess and you'll be lenient."
Chen Qifeng said, "I'm in contact with the kidnappers, but I just want to pay the ransom in private to ensure my daughter's safety."
"That's not what Sun Youguo said. He already confessed that you worked with Tomcat to smuggle contraband." Huang Kuang Shike glanced at his watch. "The goods from Qingdao's third cargo port should be arriving soon."
Chen Qifeng's body trembled. He took a deep breath and said, "Captain Huang, I'm innocent. They forced me to do this. The kidnappers contacted me and said that if I wanted to save my daughter, I would have to help them transport some goods from Thailand. I did this to save my daughter. I really had no choice."
"How long have you known Tomcat?"
"About two to three years."
"Does that mean that this isn't your first time working together?"
"I did do something wrong in the past, but I've turned over a new leaf. But that Tomcat refused to let me go and even used my family to threaten me. Captain Huang, you have to believe me. I was really threatened by Tomcat. "
"Did Tomcat contact you after Sun Youguo was arrested?"
"Yes, Tomcat asked about my situation and whether the goods would arrive on time. I told him that the police didn't suspect me and that the goods would arrive on time. Sun Youguo probably didn't sell us out. "
"Who's going to pick up the goods?"
"Biaozi, Tomcat told me."
"Is the pickup location at Qingdao's third cargo port?"
"No, because Sun Youguo was arrested, Tomcat decided to set the transaction location at a gas station near Qingdao's third cargo port for safety reasons. If the police stopped it in advance, it meant that the police had already discovered it. It could be considered a warning."
"Sun Youguo has been arrested, and Tomcat still dares to pick up the goods? Isn't he afraid of being targeted by the police? "
"I said the same thing in the beginning and advised him to stop temporarily. He said that he couldn't stop because the customer of the goods was very dangerous and he couldn't afford to offend him. He had to deliver the guns on time. Otherwise, the buyer wouldn't let him go.
That's why he decided to take the risk. "
"Do you know the buyer's identity?"
"No."
"Do you know where Tomcat is hiding?"
"How could he tell me? Tomcat is very cunning."
Huang Kuang Shike frowned. "How did you contact Tomcat?"
