1191. Chapter 1191 Does the truth matter?
Chapter 1191 Is the truth important?
Lin Nan didn't have much scruples about Han Zhengshan's status as the head catcher. What he was worried about was that there were still high-level government figures behind Han Zhengshan who were unwilling to let go of the investigation of the fire case and instigated Han Zhengshan to do such dirty work. Hai
Han invested a huge amount of manpower, material and financial resources to get concessions from the Zhejiang government. He would never tolerate anyone destroying this hard-won achievement. It was important to investigate the insiders of the fire case, but Lin Nan believed that it was more important to find out the person behind it.
Otherwise, cut off the source of the risk as early as possible.
After listening to Lin Nan's question, Han Zhengshan suddenly realized the identity of the other party. The only person who would care so much about the truth about the fire case, apart from the real culprit who would definitely try every means to hinder the investigation of the case, was the Haihan people. Of course, he didn't realize it yet.
The identities of the two people actually overlap. He also believes that Haihan also wants to get key information and then investigate the truth of the case on his own. However, he is not completely sure of the identity of the other party, and the other party's actions after appearing clearly lacked goodwill.
He wasn't sure what the consequences of what he said would be.
Han Zhengshan tried his best to keep his tone calm: "You may have forgotten that I am the chief arrester of Hangzhou Prefecture. This investigation is my responsibility. What is wrong with this matter? Although the superiors have announced that the case has been closed, I
I thought there were still some details that needed to be clarified, and I just got relevant information. There was no order from an adult before, and no one is assisting me in investigating this matter now."
"It seems that you plan to take over the matter by yourself?" Lin Nan shook his head slightly and said: "Captain Han, when I talk to you properly, you'd better answer my questions with the same attitude. Don't think about it.
Don't try to play some clever tricks with me, otherwise you will only be the one who suffers in the end."
Lin Nan did not believe that what Han Zhengshan was doing was acting alone. Considering the social impact of the Tongsheng Wharf fire case and the subsequent agreement reached by both parties, the situation could no longer be reversed by one person. Even if Han Zhengshan could investigate
Even with his influence, it would be difficult for him to stir up much trouble. From Lin Nan's point of view, unless someone instigated him, unless there was some irresolvable personal grudge between Han Zhengshan and Haihan, he would have pushed him
To do this kind of thing.
Han Zhengshan was secretly frightened when he heard this. The other party's attitude clearly meant that he did not take his status as a head catcher seriously. It seemed that if he did not cooperate well, the other party would use some means to make him suffer. But the problem was his own.
It's true, but the other party refuses to believe it, which is very troublesome.
Han Zhengshan sighed and said: "One person does what he does and another person takes responsibility. What I say is all true. If you don't believe it, there is nothing you can do about it."
Lin Nan was silent for a while, then changed the subject and asked, "Do you recognize the insider of the fire case that Cui'e mentioned?"
Lin Nan had already asked Cui'e for the relevant information. If Han Zhengshan was hiding something, he would be able to tell it immediately.
Han Zhengshan knew that Cui'e would definitely not be able to withstand the questioning of this group of people. It was important to save his life now, and he was afraid that something would happen if he kept going around in circles with the other party. He immediately answered truthfully: "The person Cui'e said, I can confirm, that Gu Hui
He is the labor supervisor at Tongsheng Terminal. I also talked to him during the previous investigation. It is said that when three cargo ships from Haihan arrived at the port that day, he took over the unloading business."
Hearing what Han Zhengshan said, Lin Nan suddenly remembered who Gu Hui was. Although he would not come forward to deal with business matters, Lin Si would regularly report relevant situations to him, and Haihan was in Hangzhou
Most of the import and export trade transports goods from Tongsheng Terminal, and it is Gu Hui who is responsible for handling cargo loading and unloading locally.
However, if Gu Hui's identity is just a dock foreman, it is not worthy of attracting Lin Nan's attention. The main reason why Gu Hui can continue to take over Haihan's business is that his backer is Wang Yuan, the general magistrate of Hangzhou Prefecture.
It was because of this special relationship that Lin Nan could remember the existence of a person like him.
However, Wang Yuan has a relatively deep cooperation with Haihan and can be regarded as one of Haihan's spokespersons in Hangzhou officialdom. How could he allow his subordinates to spread such negative remarks about Haihan? Moreover, Han Zhengshan should also be under his jurisdiction.
, he is now tracing the truth of the case, is it possible that Wang Yuan gave him the order? If Wang Yuan is really involved, then the matter will be more complicated, and it is also a situation that Lin Nan does not want to see.
In order to buy Wang Yuan, Haihan did a lot of work in the early stage, and the economic price he paid was not small. In order to obtain a powerful protective umbrella in Hangzhou, but if there is a problem in this link, then Haihan will be in trouble in the future.
There may be a lot of trouble when doing things locally. If Lin Nan cannot confirm this first, it will be difficult to make corresponding arrangements for subsequent actions.
"If I remember correctly, this Gu Hui should be working for your boss, Mr. Wang, right?" Lin Nan decided to ask directly instead of slowly going around in circles with Han Zhengshan: "Do you have Mr. Wang's intention in pursuing the fire case?
?”
When Han Zhengshan saw that the other party revealed Gu Hui's background, he was even more sure of the other party's identity. Of course, he also knew that his immediate boss had some shady interests entangled with the Haihan people. However, because the information held by both parties was not symmetrical, Han Zhengshan
Shan simply thought that the other party wanted to investigate the truth of the fire case just like him. Little did he know that Lin Nan's actions were all for the opposite purpose, just to completely block the government's investigation.
"As I said just now, this matter is just for me to fulfill my duties, and it is not an instruction from any adult." Han Zhengshan was not sure whether it was appropriate to force his boss into trouble, so he could only reply truthfully: "As for Gu Hui's words and deeds, I have done it before
He didn’t know anything about it, and if Cui’e hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have known that he had concealed anything when he was under investigation before.”
Lin Nan observed the situation and thought that it was unlikely that Han Zhengshan was lying, which also made him feel a little more relaxed. If Wang Yuan had not intervened in the matter, it would have been much easier to deal with it. All he had to do was to remove these few insiders.
Just seal her mouth. He had basically determined during the interrogation of Cui'e just now that the only three people involved in this matter are Cui'e, Han Zhengshan and Gu Hui. If it is verified by Han Zhengshan, then he only needs to
Gu Hui just needs to control it too.
However, because the matter involved so much, Lin Nan still did not dare to be careless, and continued to cross-examine Han Zhengshan, asking Han Zhengshan to see if there were any inaccuracies in his previous confession.
After the third update of the interrogation, Lin Nan was roughly sure that the confession he had received was basically true. Lin Nan checked the confession with another group of men who continued to interrogate Cui'e, and confirmed that the two people's confessions were consistent, and then ordered the two men to be interrogated.
First, temporarily separate them into two other rooms.
"It's really not easy to do your job." Pan Yan sighed sincerely: "I've been asking like this for almost two hours, and my head is spinning. It's a shame you can still remember what they said."
Lin Nan smiled bitterly and said: "You are responsible for your responsibilities, and you don't dare to slack off. Brother Pan should also know how big the impact of this matter is, and even the slightest mistake cannot be tolerated."
Pan Yan nodded and said: "This is natural. If something goes wrong, no one can explain it to the chief. So how should we deal with the people involved?"
Lin Nan looked solemn and said: "They know too much, and staying here will be a hidden danger after all."
"Then... you want to silence them?" Pan Yan asked tentatively.
Lin Nan shook his head and said: "To silence them here, we will inevitably have to dispose of the bodies and clean the scene. If it is not cleaned, it will leave new hidden dangers. I plan to take the people back to Zhoushan and let the chief decide how to deal with them.
.”
Pan Yan said: "Let's get these two people out of the city at dawn? Is this easy to do?"
Lin Nan responded: "It's not difficult. We have people at Wangjiang Gate in the east of the city. Once the gate opens, we can leave the city directly. What's a little more troublesome is Gu Hui. It's probably not that easy to kidnap someone during the day.
.”
Pan Yan came up with an idea: "Then let Lin Si send someone to lure Gu Hui out and go to a secluded place before attacking? He has business dealings with Gu Hui, so it should be easy for him to do it."
Lin Nan thought for a moment, then shook his head and rejected his suggestion: "If Lin Si is to stay in Hangzhou permanently, it's better not to involve him. I think it's better to use Han Zhengshan's name and find someone to pretend to be a detective."
Lead him out."
Pan Yan praised: "Brother Lin's clever plan, this way there will be no future troubles."
Everyone had been busy for most of the night, and they were all hungry after staying up until this point. Lin Nan asked his men to rummage in the kitchen, but only found a few cold steamed buns. It was late at night, and it was during the curfew outside, so there was nothing they could do.
I went out to look for food. Fortunately, there was rice in the rice vat, so I lit a fire to cook the rice. I fished out two large bowls of green cabbage heads from the kimchi jar and chopped them, so I could make do with it.
After a group of people finished their midnight snack, Lin Nan specifically ordered his men to clean up the kitchen without leaving any obvious traces. At this time, some men came to report, and Han Zhengshan asked to meet with him again to talk. Lin Nan originally thought that the overall situation was
I had decided that there was no need to waste any more words with him, but then I thought that if Han Zhengshan had anything else to explain, I could listen to him again. I immediately changed my mind and asked my men to escort him over.
During the period when Han Zhengshan was taken out and held in solitary confinement, he probably figured it out. After seeing Lin Nan, he took the initiative to ask: "Open the skylight and speak frankly. Are you from Haihan?"
Lin Nan responded calmly: "So what if it is, so what if it isn't?"
Han Zhengshan said: "Since you don't deny it, I'll assume that you are. If you want to find out the truth about the fire case, I can help you. Why do you need to end up in the current situation?"
Lin Nandao: "The truth? What kind of truth do you want? The Zhejiang government and Haihan have both gotten the results they want. Is the truth about the fire case still important? If you really find out a different truth, what will happen to both parties?"
Wouldn't the agreement become a piece of waste paper, and the Zhejiang officialdom would be slapped in the face from the chief envoy down. If the trade rights were cancelled, Haihan's interests would also be greatly damaged. Compared with the three ships that were burned,
I don’t know how many times more ships there are. As you said before, you decided to pursue this case on your own, but when you made your decision, did you ever think about the consequences?"
Han Zhengshan has been thinking about how to investigate the fire case these days. Even after the two parties reached a settlement after a series of contacts and resolved the dispute over the fire case by agreement, he has never given up on continuing to pursue the truth of the case.
But after hearing Lin Nan's words, he realized that perhaps the parties involved did not have such urgent expectations for the truth of the fire case, and that the investigation of the case might just be his own wishful thinking.
After realizing this, Han Zhengshan suddenly felt that some of the beliefs in his heart were slowly collapsing. It turned out that what he insisted on might be worthless or even a stumbling block in the eyes of others. The other party came here.
The purpose is not to investigate the so-called "truth", but to prevent one's own ignorance of current affairs.
But Han Zhengshan still felt a little unwilling, and continued to ask Lin Nan: "So many people were killed in this fire, are you indifferent to it? That's more than 20 lives! Don't you want them to be wronged?
Dexue, let the murderer be brought to justice?"
Lin Nan would not explain to him that the truth about the fire case was that Haihan collected more than 20 corpses in advance to arrange the so-called murder scene. Since Han Zhengshan believed that Haihan was one of the victims, let him continue to maintain this illusion.
Okay. But for Han Zhengshan's persistence out of professionalism and morality, Lin Nan felt that he should still give him some recognition.
"Skynet is very careful and careful. Regarding the real culprit in this case, there will naturally be a time when he will be brought to justice, but this matter should not be done by you. Mr. Han, although you are doing your duty, with all due respect,
, you are indeed meddling in things you shouldn’t be meddling in. If you have nothing else to say, then let’s stop the conversation here!”
Lin Nan made a gesture, and immediately two of his men came over to escort Han Zhengshan out. Han Zhengshan quickly asked: "Are you going to silence me for this?"
"If you were more honest, we wouldn't kill you." Lin Nan paused and said, "But you know too many things, and we can't let you stay in Hangzhou City any longer."
"You... how dare you kidnap a member of the public family!" Han Zhengshan was already a bit angry at this time. He also knew that the group of people in front of him were definitely not good people. Not to mention kidnapping, it was possible to kill him on the spot if he was provoked. But
If he was really kidnapped out of Hangzhou City, his chances of survival would be slim.
"Captain Han, we do not accept any form of threats, let alone the level you are just verbal." Lin Nan stopped here and listened quietly to the sound of drums coming from the distance, and then continued:
"The city gate will open in an hour. I suggest you take the time to recuperate, because you will have to spend the next day or two on the ship. Believe me, you have to hang around in the mezzanine of the ship for so long.
, definitely not a comfortable thing.”
