Chapter 45: A Case Within a Case
The old headquarters of the Gaoyun Group is located at the confluence of the Liuyang River and the Xiangjiang River, and the new headquarters is not far from the construction site, which is planned to be a 400-meter-high super skyscraper, and when the new headquarters is completed, the old headquarters will be converted into a hotel.
In fact, this super skyscraper, which is about to start construction, is not only the headquarters of the Gaoyun Group, but also the management center of the central and western regions of Huaxia Chosen One.
Although Uloporos has stopped distributing, and the specific total amount of distribution in the world, Huaxia officials do not have specific data, but as far as Huaxia is concerned, there are more than 7,000 registered gladiators and the Chosen One, not including the Chosen One in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.
From the current point of view, with the addition of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan's chosen ones, in Asia, China has surpassed Japan and is a well-deserved number one country for the chosen ones. Of course, these data are all secret, and they will not be so accurate, and the official of Ritai will not tell Huaxia such secret data, and can only be speculated according to the list of the Chosen One.
Even if it is exceeded, it is not a thing to be proud of, you must know that in terms of the average level of the Chosen One, the Chosen One in China is far from being comparable to the old powerhouse Ritai.
After all, it takes a lot of money for a gladiator to become the Chosen One, and to become the top 500 of the Chosen One List, it is not something that can be done overnight and hundreds of millions of dollars, luck, strength, and money, all three are indispensable.
Huaxia's Ulopolos is under official control and distribution, which is not only a regulation, but also a national situation, you must know that a few years ago, there were only a few rich people in China, and only by relying on the power of the state could they buy Ulopolos, and the Chinese folk did not have such a deep background as the European and American folks, and there was no way to buy Ulopolos to become a gladiator with personal financial resources, let alone invest in the bottomless pit of the Chosen One.
In the early days, Europe and the United States embarwent on Huaxia and blocked the trade of Ulopolos, but because of the existence of the free port of Xiangjiang, with the help of some patriotic merchants, Huaxia has been quietly buying Ulopolos on the black market at a high price.
In 1999, when the end of the world was declared, the Shadow Council of the World suddenly lifted the embargo on Huaxia, and in 2000, the quota for Huaxia's Ulopolos was 200, increasing year by year.
Just after the Shadow Council announced the lifting of the embargo on China, in 2001 China also successfully joined the TO, and the economy began to take off.
In the two thousand years, the individuals who could afford to buy Ulopolos in China were still very few, so all the two hundred Ulopolos were bought by the official, although there were also individuals who had a lot of relationship with the government to obtain Ulopolos, but the number of people accounted for a very small proportion.
The Chosen One in China is basically from the government, but the official resources are limited, and they can only be tilted towards the top-notch. In fact, aside from the gladiators, there were only more than 800 Chosen Ones in Huaxia, not even a thousand, compared to more than 1,500 Chosen Ones in Ritai.
Not only that, but there are many Chinese gladiators and even the Chosen One, and they also use tragic DDD-level skills, and they can't even afford B-level skills, and they can't see the hope of being promoted to become the Chosen One, let alone rushing into the top five hundred.
Because no matter who you are, it is clear that in the game of the Chosen One, it is impossible to become strong without kryptonite.
The tilt of resources also means that many powerful Chosen ones can enter the top 500 faster, so the number of Chosen Ones in the top 500 in Huaxia is still more than that of Ritai.
When Taijilong first started to develop, it was poor and white, the state couldn't allocate too much money, Taijilong people can only find their own way to make money, the state gives certain policy support, and the IQ of people who can enter Taijilong is not low, and it is not easy to make money if there is a policy?
Like Gaoyun Group, it belongs to Bai Xiuxiu on the surface, but in fact, all the final profits flowed into Taijilong, and Gaoyun Group is not the only company indirectly controlled by Taijilong.
This is also the reason why Li Jiting sighed that day, he experienced the most difficult period of Taiji Dragon, and he had to take new members to do the mission in the world, because no one teamed up with the Huaxia Chosen One, and he couldn't get the betting bounty when he went to the Colosseum to play ranking, and he could only be greedy when he saw good skills put up for auction.....
You must know that without a large number of folk blood transfusions, it would be difficult for the Chinese Chosen and Gladiators to develop from more than 100 people in the 80s to more than 7,000 today.
And half of these more than 7,000 people belong to the most mysterious organization in China, Taijilong.
————————————
Just one day before Cheng Mo started school, the elites of the Taiji Dragon Qianlong Group who participated in the "quarantine plan" held a meeting in the conference room of the old headquarters of the Gaoyun Group to summarize and exchange the information gathered these days.
At this time, the snow-white projection screen of the conference room was a photo of Jing Ye, and Feng Luwan, who was wearing professional clothes, introduced in Mandarin: "Jing Ye, formerly known as Jing Quan, a native of Weiziwan, Chenzhou, southern Xiangnan, was born on August 8, 1973, and was smuggled to Xiangjiang in 1991 and joined the Xiangjiang Big Circle Gang, and was nicknamed 'Fu Biao' when he was in Xiangjiang. In 91 years, the big circle gang in Hong Kong and Macao has been declared far away, this gang was first composed of China's red soldiers, educated youth and some veterans, the main members from Yangcheng, Xiangnan, Shanghai.... Jing Quan is the uncle who defected to Xiangjiang in the 80s....."
After a pause, Feng Luwan released a photo of another man in his fifties who was somewhat similar to Jing Quan's appearance on the projection screen, this man had a shaved head, glasses, a mustache, and the Jing family's signature wide jaw, but his eyes were not as fierce as Jing Quan's.
Feng Luwan continued: "This is Jing Quan's cousin, now 59 years old, formerly known as Jing Er, now known as Jing Zhanjie, nicknamed 'Mountain Cannon', smuggled to Xiangjiang in the eighties and thirteens, and is the master of the first bandit Xiangjiang thief Ye Jihuan to use an AK-47 rifle to rob in Xiangjiang...."
"The Big Circle Gang itself is not as hierarchical and well-organized as the local gangs in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. When they first debuted, most of them were homeless and unconcerned, so they were ruthless and very good at using their brains when they were in contact with local gangs such as 14K and Shuifang, and even if they were arrested, they generally did not turn back, and boasted that they 'grew up under the red flag, and their roots were red', if they couldn't hide in the local area, they went to the mainland, leaving the police at a loss, and did many big cases in Xiangjiang, among which Ye Jihuan is a representative figure, and Jing Zhanjie's fame is not very big in comparison. ”
"Because there are too many cases in the Big Circle Gang, they can't stay in Hong Kong and Macao, and some of them ran away to North America in the mid-to-late 80s, mainly on the west coast of Canada, but the situation in Canada is more complicated, facing a completely different environment from the Chinese society, the mainstream society in Canada at that time was very discriminatory against the Chinese, and Chinatown was completely under the control of the Vietnamese gang because of the police, which made the members of the Big Circle Gang who went to Canada extremely dissatisfied, so they vigorously gathered people from Hong Kong to go to Canada....."
At this time, when facing the return of Xiangjiang in 97, the shrewd Jing Zhanjie guessed that after my country took back Xiangjiang, he would vigorously purge the gangs, so he parted ways with Ye Jihuan, and led a group of people to follow the main force of the Big Circle Gang from Hong Kong and Macao, Europe and Southeast Asia to 'jump ship' and 'jump plane' (smuggling by boat and plane) to land in Vancouver..... In Cantonese, it is called 'ramming the family shovel', and in the northern dialect, it is called 'destroying the door', and the means are brutal and shocking to Canada, but the Canadian police have always bullied the weak and feared the hard, and the solution they came up with is to ask the Vietnamese gang to withdraw from Vancouver....."
"Originally, the Canadian police thought that the matter would end here, but at this time, Jing Zhanjie, who was already the number one person in the Canadian Big Circle Gang, strongly advocated that 'it is advisable to chase the poor and not sell the name and learn from the overlord', and did not let go of the Vietnamese gang that had withdrawn to EDMONTON, the capital of Alberta Province, and sent Jing Quan to lead people to chase EDMONTON with a large number of guns, and drove all the people of the Vietnamese gang to Toronto, 'liberating' all the Chinatowns in Canada....."
When it came to "liberation", everyone in the room laughed.
But Feng Luwan didn't laugh, she continued: "After that, the big circle gang in Canada has formed a large-scale organized gang group, mastering smuggling, drug trafficking and high-tech crimes.... And it has worked closely with Canada's own criminal gang 'Hell Angels'..... And the 'Angels of Hell' is one of the outlying organizations of the Black Death....."
"In 99, Jing Zhanjie returned to his hometown in southern Hunan as a patriotic overseas Chinese and donated a large amount of money to his alma mater, at that time, because the shadow council had not lifted the blockade of our country, so the organization sent Comrade Gao Xu, who is also from southern Hunan, to contact Jing Zhanjie, hoping to buy more 'Ulopolos' through the North American black market, but not long after the contact, the shadow council announced the lifting of the embargo on our country, and at this time our demand for black market transactions is no longer urgent.... But this line cannot be broken, in order to maintain contact with the North American underground world, so we used Jing Zhanjie's funds to start Gaoyun Group. ”
"In 2003, Jing Quan was sent to Star City by Jing Zhanjie to be the director of Gaoyun Group, Comrade Gao Xu tried Jing Quan several times, but Jing Quan didn't know anything about the inner world, but in contact with Jing Zhanjie, he found that Jing Zhanjie knew very well about the things in the North American underground world, and knew some things about the Black Death organized by the Chosen One..... In 2012, when Gaoyun Group developed rapidly, Gao Xu invited Jing Zhanjie to return to Xiangnan again, and finally learned from Jing Zhanjie that the Angels of Hell were the peripheral organizations of the Black Death, and promised to introduce the speaker of the Angels of Hell to Comrade Gao Xu - William Ezurik. ”
Feng Luwan released a photo of William Ezuric, a middle-aged man with blonde hair and a big nose, she glanced at the screen and continued: " In 2013, Comrade Gao Xu went to Canada accompanied by Jing Quan, and met with William Ezuric in Vancouver, although the Shadow Council lifted the embargo on our Uloporos, but still excluded our Huaxia Chosen One in the skill auction, and it is difficult for our Chinese Chosen One to buy skills above AAA even if we have money, Comrade Gao Xu went to Vancouver with the mission of trading skills with the Black Death....."
"In 2014, Comrade Gao Yang finally won the trust of William Ezulik, William Ezurik took Comrade Gao Yang, Jing Zhanjie and Jing Quan to a party, this is the first time Comrade Gao Xu came into contact with the 'Shadow of the Plague', you can log on to the Taijilong website to find detailed information about the 'Shadow of the Plague', this information has now been completely decrypted, you can browse the ....."
"To put it simply, 'Plague Shadow' is a potion developed according to God's genes, this potion can greatly improve the physical fitness of human beings, and the high-purity Plague Shadow can even make humans have terrible destructive power, and even a certain skill.... But the Plague Shadow is time-sensitive and can cause some damage to the body.... Comrade Gao Xu was greatly shocked by the discovery of the Plague Shadow, and after reporting it to the organization, the organization asked him to suspend the plan to purchase skills from the Black Death, and the goal was to get a few Plague Shadows back, but the low-purity Plague Shadows could not meet the research needs....."
Feng Luwan stopped speaking and glanced at Bai Xiuxiu, who was sitting at the front of the oval conference table on the left side, "The organization hopes that Comrade Gao Xu can find a way to get a higher purity of the Plague Shadow, and on August 31, 2014, Comrade Gao Xu disappeared in Vancouver..... The last message he sent back before he disappeared was Stargate, Ou Yu, God Gene.... The Vancouver police only found one hand and one leg of Comrade Gao Xu .... The cause of death is still unknown. ”
At this time, Li Jiting, who was sitting on the right side, stood up and said, "Let us observe a three-minute silence for Comrade Gao Yang.....
Suddenly there was a soft sound of chairs moving in the conference room, but it was immediately quiet, all the people in the conference room lowered their heads, their expressions were extremely solemn, although there was no solemn singing, but this silence was the greatest solemnity.
Bai Xiuxiu, who was standing opposite Li Jiting, closed her eyes, she was wearing a white Chanel dress like a white deer standing in the misty smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, in her speechless expression, there were mournful flowers blooming, and in this silent silence, it seemed that she could see the red banner of victory, fluttering in the bones and blood of the martyrs.
——————————————————
After the meeting ended, Li Jiting called Bai Xiuxiu, "Little white..... Will you go to Kodaka's graveyard today?"
Bai Xiuxiu, who was sorting out the information, nodded, "I'll go with my sister-in-law and his mother in the afternoon....."
Li Jiting smiled and said, "If it's convenient, I'll go see him too!"
Bai Xiuxiu hesitated for a moment and said, "This....!"
At this time, the entire conference room was slowly walking outside, Feng Luwan pressed the button, and the electric curtains by the floor-to-ceiling glass were automatically rolling up, and the sunlight slowly sprinkled on the blue carpet.
Li Jiting bowed deeply to Bai Xiuxiu and said softly: "Actually, I have always wanted to say sorry to you, because I gave that order back then, and our Hidden Dragon Group did not protect our comrades....."
Bai Xiuxiu paused for a moment, and hurriedly held Li Jiting's arm and said: "Team Leader Li, I can't blame you for this, besides, the casualty rate of your Hidden Dragon Group is much higher than that of our Kanglong Group..... I think Ah Xu was careless....."
Li Jiting straightened up and said, "No matter what, I have a certain responsibility, and I want to go and say sorry to Comrade Gao Xu in person." ”
Bai Xiuxiu nodded and said, "Okay! Team Leader Li, you really have a heart." ”
Li Jiting sighed, "What do you have a heart, you should have come a long time ago, last time I had something to do with you Team Leader Xie to come to Star City once, but I also attended a friend's funeral, thinking about it, it was really strange to go to the cemetery twice a day, and I was not sincere enough, so I didn't bother you...."
"Our team leader told me that I didn't happen to be in Star City that day. ”
At this time, Feng Luwan, who had already finished cleaning up the conference room, said: "Team Leader Li, Sister Xiuxiu, are you going to eat now?
Li Jiting looked back at Feng Luwan, and said to Bai Xiuxiu with a smile: "Let's talk while walking! Regarding the Black Death, I think we should change our thinking, we can't afford to send people to contact Jingquan again, and Jingquan's vigilance should be very high now....."
"The point is to find a breakthrough. Bai Xiuxiu said with a frown.
"What about Jing Quan's younger brother Jing Xing?" asked Li Jiting.
"It's very difficult for Jing Xing to rebel, even if he does, he won't be able to access the core secrets, so he's afraid of startling the snake..... Originally, we were sure that Liu Dongqiang would turn against him and take out some secrets from his mouth..... But he died inexplicably. Bai Xiuxiu shook her head and said.
"That's going to be difficult.... Haven't the police found out how Liu Dongqiang died?"
Bai Xiuxiu turned around and asked Feng Luwan, who was following behind, "Xiaowan, haven't the murderer been found by the police yet?"
Feng Luwan shook his head and said: "No, there are no clues at all, the other party did not leave any image data, nor did he leave fingerprints or footprints, and all the cameras in the key positions that night were destroyed.....
"Could it be that Jing Quan sensed something and killed people?" asked Li Jiting.
"This is absolutely impossible, we just grasped Liu Dongqiang's weakness, and just found out that he is responsible for part of the dark web population and organ trade, and we are ready to continue to dig deeper. Bai Xiuxiu shook her head slightly and said categorically.
"If it wasn't Jing Quan's doing, it would be strange, logically speaking, this case shouldn't be difficult to solve!" Li Jiting's voice was full of doubts.
