As the saying goes, he beat the old master to death with random punches. Although He Mingyuan was experienced, he was not an omniscient god. The investigation of the Luanshicheng Mine Case soon hit a bottleneck.
He Mingyuan also tried to find evidence through upstream and downstream related parties in the mineral trade chain, just as he used the Chen Family Chamber of Commerce to dig up dirty information about the Qingyun City branch.
However, he suddenly discovered that all the chambers of commerce that cooperated with his investigation were unable to provide dirty information about the Luanshi City branch, and the chamber of commerce that was most promising to provide dirty information about the Luanshi City branch did not cooperate with his investigation at all.
Sure enough, the clerk responsible for the Luanshi City case immediately reported: "Manager He, our investigation has encountered great resistance. This group of criminals obviously has a very strong protective umbrella in Luanshicheng, and I am afraid that all the downstream affiliated chambers of commerce that helped them sell the stolen goods have
Concentrated on one or two companies. At present, we have used various methods you mentioned to put pressure on the major chambers of commerce in Luanshi City. Most of the chambers of commerce have cooperated with our investigation honestly, but..."
"Just what?" He Mingyuan asked repeatedly.
The clerk replied with a face full of shame: "It's just that my subordinates are incompetent. There are two chambers of commerce that don't buy our account at all! These two chambers are the Guyun Chamber of Commerce under the Guyun Sect, the overlord of Luanshi City, and the deacon of the Merit Hall of the Wuliang Sword Sect.
The Far East Chamber of Commerce, which is owned by Fang Jiancai, has very strong backers and huge cargo throughput. We now highly suspect that the corrupt elements in Luan Shicheng Mine may have specifically sought cooperation with these two chambers of commerce to sell stolen goods!"
Needless to say, the inspector of the Merit Hall of the Wuliang Sword Sect met Cai Cai. Behind him stood Cheng Shuying, the Supreme Elder of the Yuan Ying Period of the Wuliang Sword Sect.
The background of Guyun Sect is also not small. Ren Tianyuan, another supreme elder of the Nascent Soul Stage who has been in seclusion for many years, was born in the Luanshi City area.
Since Elder Ren has not been concerned with worldly affairs and has not cultivated merits all year round, other major cultivation forces generally keep a respectful attitude towards him. Therefore, the Guyun Sect has a quite transcendent status in the southeastern coastal area of Zhongzhou. It is precisely because of the strong backers.
, these two chambers of commerce can refuse the Qingning Chamber of Commerce’s request to cooperate with the investigation on the grounds of commercial confidentiality.
The corrupt elements in Luanshi City specially selected these two chambers of commerce as channels for selling stolen goods, and they obviously did so intentionally!
After hearing the report from his subordinates, He Mingyuan frowned and said: "The criminal gang involved in the Luanshicheng Mine corruption case is bold and careful. It is definitely not comparable to the small fish and shrimps we caught before. It seems that we have encountered something different this time."
A powerful enemy! Previously, I ordered you to investigate from the lowest level miners, do you have any clues now?"
The clerk shook his head and said: "Some time ago, some grassroots miners in Luanshicheng Mine suddenly resigned en masse. It is said that they were hired away by a foreign chamber of commerce with a high salary and went to the Great Lakes area thousands of miles away to mine, but the specific whereabouts turned out to be
No one can tell clearly. Such an outrageous thing, it seems now, is probably the method used by these corrupt elements to openly resist the headquarters’ investigation!”
Zhongzhou is extremely vast.
Haiya City, Tianshu City, Luanshi City and the seventeen nearby coastal cities are usually collectively referred to as the southeast coastal area of Zhongzhou. Going west from the southeast coastal area of Zhongzhou, there will be a vast and flat plain. Due to the plain
In the center lies Luoxing Lake, the largest lake in Zhongzhou, so this vast plain is also called the Great Lakes Area.
Luoxia City is the city closest to Haiya City in the Great Lakes region in the southeast of Zhongzhou.
Although the two regions are adjacent to each other, since each region is thousands of miles in radius, there is relatively little information exchange between the two places. Even if you start from Luoxia City, the nearest city in the Great Lakes region, you need to cross more than 2,000 kilometers to Haiya City.
distance.
He Mingyuan's trick of "mobilizing the grassroots to fight against the landlords" was learned from Consultant Yang's "Qingning Chamber of Commerce Management Practice". He did not expect that the corrupt elements in the Luanshicheng Mine would be so difficult to deal with, and even planned to arrange all the grassroots miners involved in the case.
gone.
Trying to trace the whereabouts of dozens of miners in the vast and densely populated Great Lakes region is obviously a fantasy.
If it were a normal person, I would be at a loss already.
But He Mingyuan is a master in the field of corruption after all, so it’s okay to lose to a natural god like Consultant Yang. If he loses to the stewards of other branches in the field of corruption, where will his "selfless He Mingyuan" face be put?
Just when He Mingyuan was thinking about countermeasures, a familiar face ran into the reception room. This person's name was Li Feng, and he was a close subordinate who had accompanied He Mingyuan to report to the Qingning Chamber of Commerce headquarters.
Ignoring that He Mingyuan was still arranging work, he immediately shouted: "Manager He, we have obtained decisive evidence!"
He Mingyuan's eyes suddenly lit up.
In order to ensure that the Luanshi City corruption case was solved, he formulated a multi-pronged strategy to investigate. Li Feng was responsible for finding a breakthrough in the case from the Haiya City Commodity Exchange.
Before He Mingyuan took the initiative to ask, Li Feng reported excitedly: "I followed the method you instructed and focused the investigation on the Haiya City Commodity Exchange. The suspect has been basically locked in! The Luan Shicheng Mine Corruption Case
The top boss should be Ji Sihan, the mine manager in charge of sales!"
"I knew they would show their feet at the Haiya City Commodities Exchange!" He Mingyuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news. "Not only are these guys very cunning, but they are also bold and dare to collude with external cultivators as mortals.
Power, I even saw my own in him...ahem, but now it seems that I, He Mingyuan, was the better one and was the first to find the key evidence."
After that, he waved his hand excitedly: "In that case, everyone can prepare to close the network! This time we must show Consultant Yang the ability of our team!"
Li Feng quickly asked for instructions: "Before closing the network, do we need to inform Consultant Yang?"
He Mingyuan looked confident and said: "Consultant Yang has to attend the Immortal Ascension Conference. Let's not disturb him for this trivial matter! If we can't deal with the corrupt elements within our Qingning Chamber of Commerce, I am not worthy of sitting in this position!"
Li Feng bowed and accepted the order: "I will arrange for the arrest right now!"
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, He Mingyuan suddenly felt something in his heart and raised his hand to stop him: "Wait, don't move yet! This guy named Ji Sihan is so hidden, his accomplices can commit suicide in such a timely manner to destroy evidence, and every time
He can use thunderous means to resist our investigation. I'm afraid things are not as simple as they appear on the surface. Maybe... he has internal agents at the Qingning Chamber of Commerce headquarters!"
As soon as these words came out, all the members of the anti-corruption team around him showed expressions of sudden realization.
No wonder every time the headquarters of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce made a move, the Luanshicheng Mine would make the most correct response. Only Li Feng, who was sent alone by He Mingyuan to investigate the Haiya City Commodity Exchange, made a breakthrough.
If there is an internal agent from the Qingning Chamber of Commerce headquarters, everything would make sense!
He Mingyuan paced back and forth for a moment, and finally made the final decision: "The amount of money involved in the corruption case in Luan Shicheng Mine is huge, and I must ensure that nothing goes wrong... Let's do this. I will talk to Butler Zhou in person later and ask him to control Dunguang himself.
We must go to Luanshi City and arrest this Ji Sihan on the spot, and we must not give this cunning opponent any chance to make a comeback!"
