Chapter 1981

This speculation made by He Xi is undoubtedly quite radical. He believes that the connection between the attacks in Danzhou and Zhejiang is not only the weapons, but also the weapons suppliers hidden behind the scenes. Someone secretly organized in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas

Private armed organizations use this as a cover to provide military training to various forces.

The intelligence and evidence collected so far are not enough to prove that He Xi's speculation is true. Although Zhang Qianzhi believes in the professionalism of his boss, he still finds such a conclusion a bit strange.

In the final analysis, Zhang Qianzhi does not think that this kind of petty tactics can affect Haihan's development momentum overseas. If this kind of civilian militia is too troublesome, Haihan will not even need to take action, and Ming Dynasty officials will certainly not

If you sit back and watch it escape control and do whatever you want, the first one will take action to destroy it.

"I know what you are thinking. After all, this is just my personal speculation, and there is still lack of sufficient evidence to support it."

As soon as He Xi saw Zhang Qianzhi's expression, he already guessed what he was thinking, and immediately explained: "Although Wan Fa is shrewd, his strength is intelligence collection and analysis, and he is not so good at certain situations that require violence.

Good at it. So I transferred Gong Qiqi from Shandong to help him investigate the situation at the salt merchants."

Gong Qi Qi is undoubtedly one of the most powerful people under He Xi. Even Zhang Qianzhi, who is now able to take charge of the outside world, is still far behind Gong Qi Qi in terms of mobility and experience. And He Xi wants to

To allow Gong Qi Qi to be fully trained, he was sent to the north a few years ago. Although there seems to be no news about him recently, Zhang Qianzhi knows that people like Gong Qi Qi will never be idle.

The news was mostly about carrying out some secret mission. However, He Xi sent Gong Qiqi to Zhejiang to participate in the investigation at this time, which shows that he attaches great importance to the case.

He Xi went on to say: "Since it is difficult to confirm the authenticity of the confessions of the people you arrested in Danzhou, let's change the direction of the investigation first. You sent a telegram before and asked for an investigation of the immigrant population in Sanya. I

It’s a good idea to look in this direction. It’s better to ask for help than to ask for help yourself. If you look into the situation of this group of people before they set off from Sanya, you might be able to find their true identity.”

In fact, before Zhang Qianzhi returned to Sanya, the relevant investigation work was already in progress. However, Sanya could only conduct the investigation based on the limited information sent back by Zhang Qianzhi via telegram, and the effect would definitely not be as good as when he came back to preside over the project himself.

Work.

The current situation is no longer as urgent as in Danzhou, and He Xi has not limited the time for Zhang Qianzhi to solve the case, so the time schedule for the investigation work is relatively generous. Zhang Qianzhi originally planned to continue the investigation according to his own ideas, and He Xi's arrangement is also

It was considered a fulfillment for him.

However, now the population of Sanya has reached tens of thousands, and the number of floating people entering and exiting the area every day is almost four figures. To find out the relevant information of several foreigners staying in Sanya, even the Ministry of Security has a good eye.

It is by no means a simple task. But Zhang Qianzhi had a rough plan for the investigation work before he came back, and then he just put his ideas into practice to improve the efficiency of the investigation as much as possible.

While still in Danzhou, Zhang Qianzhi had already made relatively detailed statistics on the body shape, appearance, language and other characteristics of Xue Zheng's group, and roughly determined the origins of some of them.

Several of the people in this group could easily be judged to be South Asian in appearance, and there were also a few people with obvious accents who should be from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions - this detail was consistent with He Xi's inference.

Although there are many details like this, it is still very difficult to find traces of their past activities in Sanya. Zhang Qianzhi’s planned investigation plan is to first conduct investigations in several local migrant population areas in Sanya.

It is believed that at least some members of this group have been lurking in Sanya for a while, and more or less they will leave some clues. It is a pity that the lucky boat that Xue Zheng and his group took on the way cannot be found, otherwise there would be a boat

It will be easier to find clues. As long as we trace the dock where the ship docked during its stay in Sanya, we can dig out more information.

In recent years, with the increasing scale of cross-border trade in Sanya, Haihan officials have gradually relaxed restrictions on the activities of outsiders, allowing them to live in Sanya. Of course, if they live continuously for a long time, there will be

Corresponding registration measures are in place to ensure that these outsiders are under official control.

Moreover, the temporary residential areas of these foreigners in Sanya are often divided by region and live in groups. For example, people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas mostly choose to settle on the east bank of the Linchun River near Sanya Port. It is close to the main city and not only has convenient living, but also

It is also close to the official port agency, so it is more convenient to do things. Although the land and housing prices in this area are already quite high, businessmen from Jiangsu and Zhejiang tend to care more about the quality of the environment, so most of them will enclose the land here to build business stores and the like.

facilities as permanent residence.

Most of the people from South Asia are sailors, and ordinary people who have traveled across the ocean to make a living in Haihan, hoping to find opportunities to join Haihan nationality. Naturally, they are financially better off than the businessmen who are not allowed to come from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. They can only find

The land price is relatively cheap, and they can live closer to the coast. And they do not have the capital to enclose the land and build houses on their own. Most of the places they live in are small hotels opened by locals specifically for this kind of migrant workers, and the living conditions are naturally relatively simple.

In order to take care of each other in life, most of these people will take the initiative to choose areas where their fellow villagers live together. If there is any good errand, they can inform each other.

However, this kind of place is a gray area for public security. Since these foreign groups live together, the limited police force is often unable to form a sufficient deterrent when dealing with public security incidents, and there will also be conflicts among these outsiders.

For various reasons, they shield each other, making it difficult for the government to intervene and manage them. Over time, they often become surveillance blind spots and breed some gray industries.

However, the Ministry of Security has never been so disciplined in its work. Zhang Qianzhi had no intention of asking other departments to dispatch a large number of manpower to investigate these places. Returning to Sanya meant returning to the environment he was most familiar with. He Xi said to him, "

It is better to ask for help than to ask for yourself." He knew that Zhang Qianzhi had his own methods for investigating crimes in Sanya, so he could safely and boldly leave them to him to operate.

Zhang Qianzhi did not go out with a large team of people, but only took a few people from the field team. He rented an ordinary large carriage in the market and went straight to Sanya Port. He planned to find out those South Asians first.

The origin of people, after all, these people are relatively simple-minded and will not be as messy as businessmen, so it is easier to get the information Zhang Qianzhi needs.

When you arrive at Sanya Port, you have to get off the bus and change boats to reach the area where South Asians live.

"It's really troublesome to come here!" Zhang Qianzhi looked at the scattered buildings on the banks of the Sanya River and couldn't help feeling a little emotional. It is estimated that many Sanya locals don't know that there are such slum-like buildings on the edge of the city.

area exists.

Most of the people living here are from Luzon, Kalimantan, Sumatra, Java and other places. After they learned about Haihan's wealth through various channels, they tried to cross the sea to Sanya, hoping to be here

Find opportunities to make a fortune.

Of course, when they arrive in Sanya, they will soon discover that it is not as gold-filled as they imagined. Rich people live in big houses in the bustling city, but people like them have no skills and can only sell their labor to make a living.

Ordinary people who are struggling to make ends meet, let alone getting rich, have to wait for the opportunity to join Haihan citizenship, and they can only live in a simple little hotel like this on the beach.

This kind of house with wooden pillars and mud walls may be slightly better than the thatched hut they lived in in their hometown, but the house price is not cheap at all. They have to spend about one-third of their monthly income to pay for living expenses.

And they have no choice, because this is already the cheapest place they can find. Only after they are naturalized can they apply to go to collective farms or construction sites of certain large-scale projects, where free accommodation will be arranged for them.

of labor.

That's fine if it's just that, but in addition to the huge expense of accommodation, if they want to live in this place, they also have to pay protection fees to some people who control the area - many issues that the government will not come forward to deal with.

It is often these characters who make the decision. Their food, clothing, housing, transportation, and even whether they can continue to stay in this place often depend on the attitude of these local snakes, so they have to use part of their income in exchange for the treatment of living a peaceful life.

.

Of course, the existence of these local snakes is, to a certain extent, the official acquiescence to their existence. In areas that are difficult to cover by the police, underground order is better than no order at all. When something really happens, the official can also find the area.

The person in charge will not completely lose control. Some local snakes even have another identity. They will work for the government when necessary and handle some matters that are more difficult for the government and not suitable for the government to intervene - such as investigating the location without alerting the snake.

certain objects within this area.

This is the purpose of Zhang Qianzhi coming here today. He knew that if he surrounded the place with great fanfare and brought everyone out and lined up to question and check their identities one by one, it would certainly be a good deterrent.

effect, but it will not be of any help to the situation you want to investigate, and may even have the opposite effect.

So he planned to chat directly with the local snakes here. This would not only avoid errors that may be caused by information exchange in the middle, but also save a lot of time.

Of course, the premise that Zhang Qianzhi chose this investigation method was because he had already dealt with the local snakes here and knew how to get them to cooperate with him.

After Zhang Qianzhi and his party landed ashore, they did not go to the area where the small hotels were most concentrated. Instead, they went straight to an inconspicuous warehouse near the pier. There were several dark-skinned laborers sitting at the door of the warehouse. Judging from their appearance, they should

They were also from South Asia. When they saw Zhang Qianzhi and others arriving, someone stood up and stopped them.

"You can't enter here." The man said in broken Haihan Mandarin, while pointing to a sign next to it that said "Private warehouses are not allowed to enter without permission."

Zhang Qianzhi responded: "I'm here to see Lanka. If he knew I was coming, he probably wouldn't let me wait outside the door."

The man was doubtful, but Zhang Qianzhi named his boss's name, and he did not dare to neglect, so he motioned to his companion to notify the boss quickly. He took a slight pause before taking Zhang Qianzhi to the warehouse, and did not follow him.

After entering through the main door, he walked around half a circle outside the warehouse, opened an inconspicuous small door, and then motioned for Zhang Qianzhi to enter.

Inside this door was a corridor only three feet wide, lit by a dim oil lamp. At the other end of the corridor was another door. Zhang Qianzhi walked quickly through this short corridor and opened the other end.

There was a burst of noisy sound from the door. After Zhang Qianzhi adapted to the light here, he saw that the space behind the door was a large hall, with about a hundred people inside, divided into ten groups.

Several groups of people gathered around different tables, and there were many people shouting and yelling. It turned out that there was something else going on in this humble warehouse, and it was a hidden underground gambling stall.

In fact, private casinos are not allowed in Sanya, but there is still room for such places to exist in places on the edge of the city where the government cannot control them. Of course, the government is not completely unaware of the existence of such underground gambling stalls, but as long as they are not made public

Business operations often turn a blind eye. After all, part of the income from these gambling stalls may flow into the pocket of a certain official.

This gambling stall hidden in a warehouse is specially opened for South Asians living nearby. However, because most of the gamblers who come here are poor people with little money, the bets are generally not very big. The gambling stall only provides venues.

And take profits from it, and generally do not directly intervene in the gambling game.

Of course, there were not no "smart people" in the past who thought of gambling on their own to avoid being needlessly pumped by the casino, but people who tried to do so were often caught by the government within two or three days and sentenced to hard labor. At the same time, at

People gambling in the gambling stalls had no trouble. As time went by, the gamblers naturally knew that this gambling stall had official support and was the only place in the area where they could gamble with confidence, and the business gradually stabilized.

This kind of small gambling stall is naturally just a small thing compared to the big casino on Ampurna Island, but for the people living nearby, it is one of the few places of entertainment here. The migrant workers who receive wages often

I will come here to try my luck. If I get lucky one day, I can find a place to have extra food in the evening.
