Chapter 571: Caught on the Spot

10:00 AM.

Chang Pingsi followed the boss of the local travel agency to the Horse-Walking Path Police Station.

Along the way, the two kept chatting easily, until the blue-bottomed white-letter doorplate of the police station appeared in front of them, and the two fell silent involuntarily.

"It's okay, it's usually because someone called the police, and it's the difficult kind. The police called us over to smooth things over." The travel agency boss seemed very familiar with the situation.

Chang Pingsi didn't make a sound. The company he is in is neither big nor small. Looking up, it can't be called formal. Looking down, at least it is still a company that pays employees—many small local travel agencies have turned into shell companies. Mature black tour guides directly rent the office of the local travel agency, run their own studios, buy groups from front-end travel agencies, and earn more or lose less by themselves.

Compared to this, the company Chang Pingsi is currently in at least has a boss willing to come out and run around, and there are acquaintances who can help.

"What are you doing?" A police officer who had been waiting here for a long time saw Chang Pingsi and pretended to pass by, coming over to ask.

Chang Pingsi looked at the boss. Although he was free and easy when facing tourists on weekdays, he came to the police station less often.

The boss coughed twice and said: "That, is Station Chief Tan here? I know him..."

The police officer was stunned and immediately said: "Then you call him."

The police officer didn't leave, just stood in place and watched the other party.

Not letting Chang Pingsi and others enter the building was because Station Chief Tan's photo was hanging in the reception hall downstairs, and they didn't want Chang Pingsi to recognize it and inform his companions. After all, the only one with a reason to be detained was Chang Pingsi.

That boss was also stunned by the question. He did have dinner with Station Chief Tan. The original idea was to go directly to the office to find him.

Being blocked here, he couldn't just jump and shout, so he took out his phone and started flipping through WeChat and the address book.

Watching the boss make several calls, none of which were useful, Chang Pingsi began to feel a little uneasy.

If it were normal, in a situation where people find people, the boss's phone would have been connected long ago. Today, it was naturally useless.

Tan Jing put his phone on the table, kept it on silent, watched it light up, and said with a blank face: "I guess they are all people trusting people. I don't have dealings with them."

"That's for sure, otherwise you wouldn't need to find Team Leader Jiang." Mu Zhiyang's IQ is enough in this area. He actually knows Tan Jing and is familiar with the daily operation of the police station.

Jiang Yuan doesn't care about these. Anyway, the case has started, so just do it however it should be done.

"Urge them." Jiang Yuan said to the person next to him.

Tang Jia immediately called the police officer downstairs.

The police officer who answered the phone said "en en" twice, put it away, and asked Chang Pingsi: "What are you here for at the police station?"

"I... there was a phone call notifying me to come to the police station." Chang Pingsi said obediently.

"Let me see the phone number." The police officer here pretended to look at it, and then said: "Then you come with me."

The police officer turned and left.

Chang Pingsi responded, followed two steps, and shouted at the boss.

The boss hesitated, waved his hand and said: "You go in first, I'll look for someone else."

After Chang Pingsi's back couldn't be seen, and no one was blocking the boss, he tried to break into the station again.

Naturally, he gained nothing.

Even if he knew a few police officers, with Jiang Yuan stationed there, he would at most get two excuses.

Chang Pingsi was first brought into the inquiry room.

The current police stations are all doing "three-room construction." The most serious is the interrogation room, which is only aimed at criminal suspects, with full video recording and various strict rules and regulations. The detention room is for locking people up. The atmosphere in the inquiry room is relatively relaxed, and witnesses or victims are also asked questions here to record statements.

Compared to the interrogation room which must be recorded throughout, the inquiry room can be recorded, but it is not mandatory.

Meng Chengbiao is responsible for the interrogation work, worried that Chang Pingsi has consulted a lawyer in advance, so he specially chose the inquiry room to first lower his psychological expectations.

After Chang Pingsi sat in the inquiry room, the first police officer to enter was also from the police station.

The two sat opposite Chang Pingsi, asked questions as usual, and then saw Meng Chengbiao enter.

Chang Pingsi recognized this dark-faced middle-aged man at a glance!

The tour group the day before yesterday was the worst one he had led in recent years.

And the dark-faced man in front of him was originally one of the oldest in the tour group.

At that moment, Chang Pingsi thought of many, many things...

"Meet again." Meng Chengbiao smiled, his tone like a tourist greeting a tour guide.

Chang Pingsi's fists were clenched tightly, and he asked: "Are you abusing your power for personal gain?"

"What abusing power for personal gain?" Meng Chengbiao chatted, not in a hurry, looking like he had eaten Chang Pingsi.

Chang Pingsi said: "You guys reported for a tour, felt you didn't play well, spent money, and then called me over to toss me..."

"Would the police report a tour group like yours?" Meng Chengbiao smiled.

"Wouldn't they?" Chang Pingsi frowned: "Then what did you guys report for my group for?"

"We were... undercover, I guess." Meng Chengbiao said very easily.

"Which of you guys are undercover?"

"All of them."

"All of them, what does that mean?"

"Counting it up, except for you, everyone else is undercover." Meng Chengbiao laughed as he spoke.

What a rare experience. If I talk about it later, I have participated in the largest undercover group since the 21st century.

Chang Pingsi was completely messy. How big a case requires 30-something people to go undercover?

Chang Pingsi's emotions were already very excited.

"We need evidence to catch you guys." Meng Chengbiao added another sentence.

Chang Pingsi stood up all of a sudden.

The chair in the inquiry room is an ordinary armchair with four legs, rubber pads, and no binding effect.

The police officer in front hurriedly stood up, put his hand on his waist, and shouted: "Sit down, did you hear me? Sit down and talk!"

When it comes to arguing, Chang Pingsi is not afraid of anyone. To be honest, he has been to the police station several times, but such a formal inquiry itself is very deterrent.

Moreover, the objects he argued with before were all tourists, most of whom were old men and women from other places. The money was collected, and he could just play dead to get through it.

Facing the police directly, Chang Pingsi's confrontation ability was not enough.

Chang Pingsi sat down slowly.

"We met the day before yesterday, right?" Meng Chengbiao smiled slightly, and his attitude seemed to have slowed down a bit.

Chang Pingsi came back to his senses and nodded slightly.

"It's been two days. Do you know how much evidence we, dozens of people, can find in two days?" Meng Chengbiao's expression looked a bit scary in Chang Pingsi's eyes.

Chang Pingsi really followed what Meng Chengbiao said, thought about it, and lowered his head.

Two days, for the police, actually didn't find much, but from the criminal's point of view, there were many terrible scenes.

In the final analysis, having been a black tour guide for so many years, Chang Pingsi knew that many things they did were illegal.

"Alright, tell me, how does your gang operate?" Meng Chengbiao's words were designed.

Chang Pingsi's eyes were wrong, and he smiled reluctantly: "How did it become a gang..."

"In criminal activities, if there is no clear division of labor, but there are relatively fixed members, it is a gang." Meng Chengbiao looked at Chang Pingsi and said: "Of course, if you have a clear leader, clear division of labor, and fixed members, that is an organized crime group..."

"No, no..." Chang Pingsi hurriedly waved his hand.

"Actually, you are lucky. We don't fight without knowing each other, and we got along quite happily the day before yesterday..."

"Yes, yes, yes..."

"So, now is the time for you to make a contribution." Meng Chengbiao started the common technique of interrogation personnel, lying with his eyes open, referred to as the "information gap case-handling method." Chang Pingsi's heartstrings were fiercely plucked. A suspended sentence is good. If he can get a suspended sentence, he won't be a tour guide after he goes home. He has earned a lot of money in these years, so he can take it back to buy a house and find a partner to have two children...

Think about it carefully, actually having one is fine, or not having one is also quite good. Marriage is actually not a must, or not buying a house and saving money to eat interest is also quite good...

"First talk about your boss." Meng Chengbiao gave clear instructions.

Chang Pingsi subconsciously started to think.

Conference room.

Jiang Yuan and Station Chief Tan watched the surveillance together and had a friendly discussion:

"This boss can be caught."

"The restaurant really sells fake cigarettes. Go with the tobacco people."

"Hey, I knew there was a problem. Catch these few selling jade first." ===== CHAPTER 572 =====

"Hey, I knew there was a problem. Let's arrest these few jade sellers first."
