Zheng Xiaoyu's successful "falling into the water" greatly encouraged Lu Cheng and the others. Now, the investigation team has mastered two breakthrough points. One is Bai Ling Tang and the other is Ju Bao Tang. The investigation team deduced that they are likely to be this
The head and tail of a gang. Ballantine is responsible for raising the supply of goods, while Jubao Tang is responsible for shipping.
Their speculation was soon partially confirmed. The investigation team found a variety of drugs from a drug dealer who was secretly arrested and who visited Jubaotang. As a result, they not only found compound components in Hearthstone Powder, but also in several other drugs.
Unconventional medicinal preparations were also found in Zhong. When they were delivered to Zheng Xiaoyu for identification, he was also surprised.
It turned out that in addition to some biochemical synthetic preparations of antibiotics, he also detected opium components in a variety of drugs.
Opium is a powerful sedative with powerful analgesic, cough and diarrhea effects. In the old days, it once had the reputation of a "miracle drug" and was once abused. However, because it is indeed effective, it has long been used as a controlled drug.

The opium obtained by the Senate from India and used as pharmaceutical raw materials are also under the same control. There are strict regulations on the scope of use and dosage. But now, from the various pharmaceuticals sold by this drug dealer,
Checked out.
As a graduate of a health school, he certainly knew what this meant. Lu Cheng immediately reported the situation to Zheng Mingjiang via telegram.
When Zheng Mingjiang received the telegram, she had somewhat expected that the prescriptions had been stolen and falsely prescribed, but the matter was obviously not that simple. This was not just a problem of the loss of "Australian drugs", but also involved the issue of controlled drug abuse.
The introduction of opium and the problem of addiction are said to have begun in the Ming Dynasty. Its medicinal properties were probably known to a few people at that time, but it was not widespread, so there was no abuse.
"That's weird, who spread these secrets?" Zheng Mingjiang felt that this matter was more serious than the spread of "Australian medicine".
"Send a telegram to Lu Cheng." Zheng Mingjiang said to Guo Huiwen, "Let Lu Cheng not rush to close the net and fish for the big fish in the long run. In particular, we need to find out where the source of the drugs is."
Lu Cheng then sold a batch of prescription orders with serial numbers recorded to He Jun through Zheng Xiaoyu. Then, he silently monitored the whereabouts of these prescriptions.
The drug dealer caught by the investigation team was named Qian, and he didn't have much money, but from his words, Lu Cheng learned how the network worked.
According to the confession of the drug dealer surnamed Qian, these drug dealers all get their goods from Jubaotang. There are about ten kinds of "magic medicines", mainly for reducing swelling and pain, relieving cough and diarrhea, some are more effective and some are less effective.
.
According to the rules of this industry, although the drug dealer is a small business, as long as it is a "deal" (long-term cooperation), the drug store will give a certain credit limit. If it cannot be settled in three quarters, it can be paid in one lump sum.
A sum of money. However, Jubaotang's medicines are never paid on credit, and must be paid in cash.
Not to mention cash and stock, the price is quite expensive. However, Jubaotang has a system, that is, as long as someone's sales reach a certain amount, he can enjoy a "rebate" of 1% to 10%; however,
It also stipulates that if the monthly sales volume cannot reach a certain amount, no more medicine will be sold to him.
Under the stimulation of this system, in order to obtain greater profits, all drug dealers transport drugs to distant places and wholesale them to other drug dealers, earning price differences and rebates - they are actually wholesalers.
Under cross-examination by Lu Cheng and others, they found out that the drug dealer named Qian's monthly purchase amount was several hundred yuan. It can be imagined how big the business of Jubaotang is.
Because the Australian medicine is very effective and the business is booming, many drug dealers and drug dealers want to get a share of the pie. Although it is no secret that Jubaotang sells Hearthstone Powder, not everyone can buy it. Two people are required to "handle the business."
The drug dealer recommends a guarantee to buy authentic "Australian medicine".
No wonder they sent people to buy medicine but the goods were wrong. It turned out there was a trick. Lu Cheng thought to himself, this Jubaotang does have a way of doing business.
"Who is the boss of Jubaotang?"
"I heard that his surname is Quan. Mr. Quan is also a local. He originally opened a pharmacy."
This "Master Quan", whose name is Quan Youde, has been active in the medicine market since his grandfather's generation. However, his family does not "open a medicine shop", but is a dental professional who "does fiber-drawing".
Of course, the tooth man in his family is not as impressive as the "official tooth" in the county town, prefectural city, especially the water and land pier. He uses the "ya post" in his hand to signal the bullying of the merchants. So he wants to go to Dongtian Medicine Market in this place.
To pull up fibers, you must have a vision that is no less than that of a professional pharmacist and the ability to judge market fluctuations.
The whole family has been working hard in Dongtian Medicine Market for three generations, and they are considered to be some famous figures in the medicine market. In Quan Youde's generation, although his knowledge of medicinal materials is inferior to that of his father and grandfather, he is good at speaking and dancing, and he is also good at medicine market.
A very cheerful person.
It has been almost a year since Quan Youde sold "Hearthstone Powder". There was no shop at first. Later, the business became more and more big, so he opened this Jubao Tang. Of course, he never admitted that there was "Australian medicine" in it.
He said that he obtained the "prescription" from overseas people and formulated it himself.
"...In fact, everyone in the drug market knows that his drug store does not have any medicines that he mixes himself. He just gets them from various pharmacies and repackages them. The only reason is that he doesn't know where to get the Australian medicine..."
Seeing that the money dealer could no longer provide anything new, Lu Cheng ordered him to be temporarily detained, and then ordered his men:
"Send two people to follow him tomorrow and ask him to sell medicine as usual. Don't cut off the wholesale channel and alert others."
Although Zheng Xiaoyu made a breakthrough with He Jun, he did not make much progress in his work. Although he quietly sold two prescription books at the request of his sworn brother and received a reward of fifty yuan
, but for almost a month since then, He Jun has not made any further requests for prescription orders.
This is a bit strange. According to him, it is not difficult to use hundreds of these prescriptions a month, but now they have not even used up fifty prescriptions? Or do they have other channels to get more?
Where's the prescription?
Zheng Xiaoyu was secretly anxious, but he had already arrived vaguely. He Junzai was not a core figure in the entire gang, and he was probably just a channel for getting drugs. He was completely following orders. Even if he asked him,
I'm afraid I won't get any useful results.
Furthermore, after all, the two are just "sworn brothers" out of a relationship of interest. Although they can be regarded as sworn brothers on weekdays, they are separated by one layer after all. Even if He Jun knows the truth, he may not dare to tell the truth to himself.
As the progress of the investigation stalled, he became anxious. Although Zheng Mingjiang did not say anything and the entire investigation team did not obtain any other major clues, he still felt deeply uneasy, fearing that Zheng Yuanlao would think that he was useless.
A person is a person who talks too much and has great ambitions but little talent.
However, he couldn't take the initiative to find He Jun, lest his flaws would be exposed. He could only wait silently for the development of the relationship.
Lu Cheng was also very anxious. Especially at the Jubao Hall, no other news came out after Yuan Shuzhi entered. Moreover, this Jubao Hall looks ordinary, but in fact the internal and external security is very tight. Only outside businessmen who are not regular customers can enter.
On the pavement, it is difficult to walk even an inch further inside.
Although she could use the money from the drug dealers who were arrested, and she could also take advantage of various "connections" in the Dongtian Drug Market, even if these people could get in, they would not be able to contact Yuan Shuzhi. Even if he got any useful information, he would not be able to contact him.
There is no way to deliver it in time. The only way is to step up surveillance of the Jubao Hall.
Yuan Shuzhi's mood at the moment was just like them, anxious.
The longer he worked at Jubaotang to do accounting, the more he became aware that there were problems with the store, but he was unable to notify the outside investigation team of these potential problems. He was like being in jail in Jubaotang. Every day he had delicious food
He drinks well and sleeps well, and even sends him a woman every week for his "entertainment", but other than that, he can't even go out of the yard. Whether it's the "steward" who appears by chance or the one who stays with him every day
"Buddy" is a "woman" who appears once a week. They never say a word. Yuan Shuzhi is also a person who is as cheeky as a city wall and can speak well. "Even if there is a stone in front of him, he can build it."
"Words", but in front of them, no matter what you say, you can only get indifferent expressions.
"This time I have entered the tiger's den and the wolf's den!" Yuan Shuzhi murmured.
He has lived for more than fifty years and is very experienced in society. He knows that the owner of this treasure gathering hall must be doing something shady. What he has collected are all important secrets. As for what kind of activities he is, he can only guess.
If it comes out, it must be a fake medicine.
Although the full picture of the counterfeit medicine could not be seen from the account books, it was clear from the original running books how big their business was. Although he did not dare to take notes, his ability to memorize and memorize them had been practiced since he was a child.
What came out was just the running accounts he had handled, involving more than 200,000 yuan—a figure that was scary enough.
He tried his best to make the tax accounting books as compliant as possible. Yuan Shuzhi knew that with the current financial and taxation power of the Senate in Boluo and Huizhou, he would not be able to find any problems in the accounting books he made - unless a senator personally led a team to check.
Naturally, this Jubaotang is not a clean business, and the money comes from irregular sources, so it is necessary to "clean" the money...
Thinking back to the fact that he was obviously a stranger, but he was actively recruited into the store. The manager even specifically asked about his family background. When he heard that he was "not tired of having a family", there seemed to be a satisfied expression on his face...
Thinking of this, Yuan Shu felt horrified unconsciously: Didn't this make it clear that he was going to silence himself when the critical moment came?
