Chapter 204: Old Things by the Sea
"Wang Wei likes to drink very much, and we found out that all his wine was bought from you." Wei Boan said.
"Yes." Huang Qi did not deny it.
"You two know each other?"
"We met more than 10 years ago."
"Do you know these people?"
Lu Wen gave a projection.
On the projection are photographs of the first few deceased.
Huang Qi just glanced at the projection, then lowered his head, "Recognize it...... Know, all know. ”
"You worked at Desheng sixteen years ago, and you were responsible for guiding tourists to their rented boats, am I right?" Lu Wen looked at him.
"That's right." Huang Qi lowered his head.
"When you were working, did you notice a very strange phenomenon?" Lu Wen retracted the projection, "Although other companies have occasional capsizing accidents, they rarely attract sharks, but Desheng Company is different." ”
The capsizing of this company is almost as large as the sum of the rest of the companies combined.
And their company's boats seem to be very appealing to sharks.
Many tourists are actually quite good in the water, otherwise they would not dare to ask themselves to drive the boat to the deep water, but after the boat capsizes, they are surrounded by sharks before they have time to wait for the rescue team.
It's anomalous.
Unless something has been artificially placed on the boat to attract sharks, such as fish blood or something more secretive.
"It stands to reason that Desheng Company more than ten years ago is already a large company that has gone through 20 years, and there should not be so many mistakes, so can I make a bold assumption and assume ......"
"Sir, I'd like to smoke a cigarette." Huang Qi suddenly spoke, planning Lu Wen's words.
"Okay, let's smoke."
Huang Qi casually took a pack of cigarettes from his container and lit one.
Lu Wen noticed that Huang Qi's hand lighting a cigarette was trembling slightly.
"Some people have died in the past two days." He said to Huang Qi: "The first deceased, Lu Lin, was doing hull cleaning work in Desheng Company 16 years ago, and the third deceased, Lin Ziqiang, was responsible for checking whether there were potential safety hazards on the ships that went to sea every day; The fourth deceased, Wang Wei, whom you are very familiar with......"
Wang Wei was not in Desheng at the time.
He is in charge of quality control at a shipyard.
After the accident at Desheng, Wang Wei and another colleague were sent to inspect the shipyard because the ships involved in the accident were all customized at that shipyard.
"He finally came to the conclusion that none of the ships involved had any problems before the incident."
Quite a definite conclusion.
As a shipyard man, his words are more credible.
And he also showed the certificate given by the shipyard.
So when public opinion makes a big fuss, people can only blame the problem on Desheng Company.
"All four of you have access to Desheng's ships in your work, especially you, you're in charge of directing tourists to your respective ships, so I can assume that."
"Suppose that Lu Lin put some substances that can attract sharks on a specific ship during the cleaning of the hull, and it may even damage some structures of the hull, resulting in a capsizing accident."
Lu Wen thought about Lu Lin's tragic situation.
Among the several dead now, Lu Lin was the most miserable, being showered with hot oil and burned to charcoal.
"Lin Ziqiang deliberately ignored the ships in question during his daily routine hull inspections."
"And you, you're in charge of directing tourists who want to drive themselves to the deep water to the boat in question."
In the end, Wang Wei and his colleagues chose to turn a blind eye, telling the outside world that there was no problem with the hull beforehand, and that all the damage was caused by sharks.
It was impossible for the Executive Directorate at that time to ignore such a big matter.
Especially when it comes to public opinion.
So at that time, Du Changqing, the head of the Executive Directorate of the 15th District, personally investigated, maybe he had already found out what the problem was, but it was just before he wanted to disclose it...... A bundle of cash was placed on his desk. ”
Lu Wen finished speaking.
He quietly looked at Huang Qi, who was smoking, and did not rush to urge.
A cigarette doesn't last long.
Huang Qi slowly exhaled wisps of white smoke and extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand.
He was silent for a moment, as if remembering something, and finally spoke.
"That would ...... Lao Lin and I are short of money, Lao Lin and his daughter have cancer, and someone in my family is sick and needs money urgently, as for Wang Wei, at that time, his family was urging marriage urgently, but he didn't have a car or a house, so he wanted to get some money to buy a house and marry a daughter-in-law. ”
Perhaps it was time that made this middle-aged man feel remorseful.
Or maybe he knew that he couldn't escape, so Huang Qi chose to confess.
"And Lu Lin...... At that time, Lu Lin was the most short of money, his eldest son was gambling outside, losing everything the family could lose, and he owed a lot of debts, and those who wanted money blocked their doors every day, he was really poor and crazy, and even thought of selling. Organ. ”
There are four people like this, plus a greedy Du Changqing.
Wrong...... There is also a sixth person.
A colleague who went with Wang Wei to inspect the ship in the capsizing accident.
"That person came to us and gave everyone a large sum of money to bring down Desheng Company."
Huang Qi sighed.
It's hard to reminisce about the past.
He pulled out a cigarette with a slightly trembling hand and lit it again.
"Lu Lin took the most money, he said that he would do the things that lost his conscience, he broke the hull in advance, and he also got the things that attracted sharks"
White smoke spread through the small store.
Sixteen years ago, the events of this slowly became clear in the smoke.
"Which company is it?" Lu Wen asked.
"Hanjiang."
Huang Qi said the name of the company.
It was this company that found them privately and gave them a sum of money.
"That person said that this is not the first time they have done this kind of thing, the two companies have always been in a competitive relationship, when Desheng Company was first established, they did it, but they just did a few capsizing accidents, and they were targeted by the Executive Board at that time, and the chief oil and salt did not enter, so they did not dare to do it again."
Let's put it this way.
More than 30 years ago, when Desheng Company was first established, the capsizing accident that occurred was actually made by Hanjiang Company in secret.
Compete......
Competitive victory in exchange for countless human lives.
Hanjiang got what it wanted and let the old rival go out of business.
Lu Wen checked the information, and Hanjiang developed very smoothly more than ten years ago.
"Is there anything unfinished?" Lu Wen looked at Huang Qi, "You should spend the rest of your life in prison, if you have any regrets now, you can finish it first." ”
"No, thank you, two chiefs...... After saying it, I felt much better, no matter how I judged later, I deserved it. ”
Huang Qi finished his last cigarette.
Nowadays, prisons are more humane, and prisoners can smoke appropriately, so he has nothing to be nostalgic about.
"By the way, have you committed any serious crimes over the years?" Lu Wen suddenly asked.
"Nope." Huang Qi shook his head.
"No wonder the murderer didn't do anything to you, maybe it wasn't your turn yet, or maybe he let you go, so now the rest ...... At the beginning, Wang Wei's colleagues and people from Hanjiang Company. ”
"Sir, Wang Wei's colleague is called Hu Qian, if I'm not mistaken, he committed a crime a few years ago and is still in prison." Huang Qi said.
"Prison?"
Lu Wen was stunned.
He looked at Wei Bo'an, and Wei Bo'an was also looking at him.
It's not going to be another time to burn down the prison.
"I'll ask Feng Fugui to see which prison that Hu Qian is in."
Wei Boan took out his mobile phone, and just as he wanted to call Feng Fugui, his mobile phone "buzzed" and vibrate.
The caller was none other than Feng Fugui.
Wei Bo'an pressed the answer button.
"What's the matter?"
"Oh......"
"Understood, I'll be there shortly."
It's simple, more than twenty seconds.
He hung up the phone, looked at Lu Wen, and said, "The prison fire is here again." ”
"Then let's go check it out."
Lu Wen looked into the distance.
The fifteenth arrondissement is huge, and the prison where the fire broke out is twenty minutes away.
He had a hunch that the killer seemed to be getting closer and closer to him.

Good night, book friends!
