Chapter 385: Mining Group (01)

They are not workaholics, but they will not be passive and slack off, they know very well that the work they carry out is related to life and death, they are facing an enemy hidden in the shadows, although it is certain that the enemy is hidden in the darkness, but they can not find their true body, they must try through continuous efforts to have the opportunity to find and solve the enemy, during which they must also be careful to prevent the enemy's sneak attack, and the longer the process, the more dangerous they are.

The destination is a medium-sized city, but in Africa, this is a big city, with a population of nearly one million, and it is located in the transportation hub, the only way to the surrounding countries, and it is also one of the most important material distribution centers in the entire range, since ancient times, it is a prosperous and rich place, although the country is also fighting a civil war, but it does not seem to have been affected much, the heavy military guards, so that this place is not affected by the war, although the economy has been seriously downturned compared with before the war, But it still can't hide its original prosperity.

"Is this a big city? In our family, it is a small county town at most. "The ghost really thinks that this city is too small, the broken streets are full of potholes, sewage and garbage, this place is really a typical example of dirty and messy, and it can actually become one of the central cities, which shows how lagging the economic development of this land is.

"Exaggerated, huh? How can it be regarded as a prefecture-level city? "I bought three bottles of Coke at a cold drink stand on the street for five dollars a bottle, which is the price that can be bought anywhere else.

"Medium-sized city? I mean the degree of development, not the number of people, you look at the things sold, which one is considered high-end? This cola can still be taken out, and it is purely imported, and it cannot be produced locally at all. The ghost opened it and took a sip and nodded in satisfaction, "How long has it been since I've tasted this?" ”

"Actually, this place has everything, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can buy what you want, but the price is beyond the reach of ordinary people." "And there are a lot of things that can't be bought anywhere else, such as fried bugs over there, which are not worth much, the problem is that this kind of bug is the only one that can be found." ”

"This means good, do you want to try it? Absolutely high protein is helpful for recovering the body. "The ghost is eager to try.

"I'd rather eat cassava." The worm shook his head.

"I really don't know how to enjoy it." The ghost used to buy a large bag, and it only cost two dollars, "We have to get a decent car to get around, the broken car before was too eye-catching." ”

"Then go get it and come back as soon as possible!" Heavy punch looked at the busy street in front of him and said.

"Don't worry, soon." The ghost turned and left.

"Mango Mining." Heavy punch looked at the sign hanging on the third floor on the opposite side, "It's so easy to find." ”

That's the purpose of their trip, which is ostensibly a mining company, but in fact it is engaged in the smuggling trade and a transit point for the smuggling of the 'clock tower' in the area.

"Who would have thought that such a smuggling company would be hidden in this shabby place." Worm observed the surrounding building environment, pointed to a building on the other side, and said, "This is a good location, I'll see if I can find a suitable monitoring point." ”

"Be careful." The boss was very enthusiastic, flaunting himself as the only five-star hotel within a radius of 100 miles, and after observing the words, he took a heavy fist to see the most expensive presidential suite.

Heavy punch took a look at the so-called presidential suite, the specifications are at most the inside and outer suites of the medium-sized consumption express hotel in the big city, but there is a so-called study room in the middle, and it is facing the jungle, the boss said that this is called the forest view room, the scenery is beautiful, natural and unique, and only he has one family in the city.

"Is there anyone on the top floor?" Heavy Punch asked.

"There are three rooms that are already occupied." The owner didn't understand what he meant, but recommended this presidential suite.

"I'm going to take over the entire top floor, you go and say hello to them, the room here is up to them, and I'm willing to pay for it, including their accommodation here." Heavy punch said.

"Uh......" Obviously, the boss didn't expect him to make such a request.

"Go ahead and do it!" Throwing a stack of banknotes to him with a heavy fist, "Have a better attitude, if you have anything good, I'll come over at night, you can arrange it!" ”

"Yes, do as you ask, don't worry, I will make arrangements." The boss was happy to see the money.

Soon the ghost got back two cars, the city is not big, the car is passable, he got a good performance of the car and an off-road vehicle, can cope with the need for emergencies, after the car got back, he also re-camouflaged, replaced the license plate and sprayed some patterns on it, making the car more shabby, so that it will not be too conspicuous in front of the public.

The worms also found a suitable monitoring point, just above the upper floor opposite the hotel where they stayed, but it took a bit of effort to go up, and they had to climb up from the side to reach the rooftop, and there were many people moving here, so it was easy to be spotted.

"It's a nice place, and you can see it over there." Said as he stood on top of the hotel.

"Do you want to touch the situation at night?" The ghost asked.

"Don't be in such a hurry, let's observe first, if you want me to see that this place has nothing of value, do you think Makarov would value such a small place? Just send someone who can take care of it, and there is no need to ask in person. "Heavy Punch really doesn't have much hope for this place.

"Maybe it's just a faΓ§ade? You'd better not make up your mind too early, whether it's worth it has to be checked until you know, and then look at the situation, what if there's a catch? Anyway, we don't have any other more important tasks right now, so let's do this little bit of work! "The attitude of the worm is still so cautious. Lazy people listen to books

The three of them took turns staring at the company, on the surface, everything was as usual here, and there were some office workers in and out, who disguised their identities and inquired about business as an investor in an international company, but they didn't find anything abnormal, and the people inside warmly entertained her, seriously negotiated cooperation, and finally invited him to visit the mine.

"I didn't find any problems, they were indeed working, and I also looked at their documents, they were all normal business, and I also investigated that their business dealings were also real, there was no fraud, if they were not a company that was functioning normally, then they did a good job of superficial work." Worm said.

"They're mining companies, they definitely have their own mines, and smuggling is just part of the business." Chong Punch looked at the information that had just been transmitted from all sides and said, "It seems that this investigation is really not that easy. ”

"I left a bug in it to see if I could hear anything valuable." Worm said as he debugged the device.

The investigation progressed more slowly than they expected, and for the next three days, they didn't find anything of value, and the company's surface work was so good that they wouldn't have believed there was something wrong with it if it hadn't been confirmed that 03 had confirmed that this was a secret stronghold called the 'Clock Tower'.

In order to find out more things, the ghost once sneaked into the company late at night, but still didn't find anything, for a while I really couldn't figure out what the problem was, and the responsible monitoring of the company did not gain anything, the person in charge of the mine is indeed a typical businessman, most of the time is engaged in relationship business, not much time in the company, he is not a local, but there are three lovers in the local area, who live in different parts of the city, he does not live in the same place every day, and the three places live in turn.

"This guy is so at ease." The ghost said.

"This is not normal, not only can't we find out what this company has to do with the 'Clock Tower', but even their underground business can't be found, could it be that there is something wrong with the intelligence? It's not this company at all, and we're investigating in the wrong direction? Heavy punch looked at the summarized information and frowned.

"No way, 03 can't be wrong." Worm said resolutely.

"There is no problem at all, it is the biggest problem, a company like this will definitely not be so clean, the company will do some tricks on taxes even if it abides by the law in this kind of place, after all, making money is the goal, paying less tax is equal to making more money, but they are all truthful, not even reasonable avoidance, this is not normal in itself, they are trying their best to ensure that they are not suspected, this is the biggest problem." The ghost said.

"Still, we haven't found anything, and it looks like we're going to have to go to their mines." Heavy punch said.

"It's not close, it's about two or three hours, and there's more than one mine, and it's heavily guarded, and they hire a lot of private armies and local troops to protect the property, just to prevent it from being affected by the chaos of the civil war." The ghost said.

"Then I'll have to check it out." Heavy Punch thought for a moment, "I'll go to the mine tomorrow, and you guys will continue to stare at this side." ”

"Their mineral tract is in the middle of nowhere, and your rash appearance will definitely arouse suspicion." Worm said.

"How could I go recklessly? Didn't they ask you to go to the mine to negotiate business? You can delegate me. Heavy punch said.

"Okay, I'll call them now." Worm nodded.

Soon the worm negotiated with the other side, and Heavy Punch would go to the mine on his behalf.

The next morning, he carefully disguised himself, turned himself into a middle-aged greasy uncle, and went to Mango Mining with some documents.

The reception was a department manager, after a brief negotiation, he drove to the mine, and on the way he punched a middle-aged man who only knew how to enjoy and did not want to endure hardships vividly and vividly, and when he arrived at the mine, he seemed to be about to faint.

The department manager was very considerate to help him prepare ice water, but he was clamoring to drink ice Coke, but there was no such thing in the mine, and he was extremely dissatisfied.

The site of the investigation was an iron ore mine owned by the group, which is the relatively least profitable industry and the most likely to be problematic, and is likely to be superficial and intended to be used for money laundering.

After the investigation, he found that the mining of ore here is indeed in full swing, but most of it is done manually, there are few machinery and equipment, so there are miners everywhere, he secretly calculated the income of the local people, and probably can calculate the basic expenses and production income here every quarter, although it is not a loss, but at most the profit is very low, there is no need to do such a large-scale toss, obviously, this is just to do the surface phenomenon for outsiders, fooling the layman is okay, The reason why he pretended to be a greasy man who was extremely unskilled in business was to let the other party down his guard so that he could get more information.

"Our production capacity is still very strong, our production is long, and the country's total iron ore production is 15......," the department manager dutifully explained their business.

Heavy punch pretended to be dizzy, kept wiping sweat, and showed impatience, giving people the illusion that he wanted to end the inspection as soon as possible, and he also asked to see the recent production and income and expenditure.

The manager did not hesitate and directly provided the corresponding data, he just flipped it over and threw it back and said that he had finished reading it and fully coped with the errand.

Although it is a simple sweep, but the heavy punch has seen the above data roughly, he has received professional training in this area, can memorize a large amount of data in a short period of time, in the car back, he has been leaning on the back seat, showing physical and mental exhaustion, in fact, he is secretly silently calculating the data he sees, and came to the conclusion that most of the data are fake, to be precise, it has been modified and disguised, although it is very clever, but he can also see some of these problems, here is a false report of production, And through these to falsely report the operating income, and then through these laundering smuggling or other ways to earn illegal income, that is to say, although these minerals do not lose money, but also seriously exaggerate the income, the purpose is to fill the gap between other black money, and then launder the money, see that these mining companies only need to ensure their own operation, do not lose money, and then through false reporting and other ways of operation to achieve the purpose of money laundering, and then cover up their smuggling activities.

After finding out this, their next purpose is to find out who is responsible for the company, the real person in charge, as well as their smuggling routes, trends, people involved and the flow of goods, only the people who really control this information can know more things, of course, they will not have much hope for this kind of low-level managers, even if this kind of person knows more, it is impossible to get in touch with the core secrets of the 'clock tower', at most provide some investigation directions, and broaden the scope of their investigation.

Although they did not report much hope for this investigation, they still did the work seriously, and 03 had to find out the situation if they had doubts about it, and they would continue to do the work seriously before they completed the work, after all, they had no reason to be passive until they confirmed that there was no value here......
