Chapter 226.
Ever since he learned that Tan Xiaoya knew this Gu Lei in the ballroom and the two of them fell in love, Cheng Mo arranged for Shen Mo to investigate the origins of this Gu Lei.
This guy was oily and greasy, not a good person at first glance.
This kind of person, in the dance hall such occasions, that is more than unusual, basically most of the young people are like this.
Women, most of them are love brains.
As long as the eye, the man sweet talk a few words, and then out of the generous a little more, how many women can resist such temptation? Men are also the same, as long as enough temptation, really hard to resist.
“Gu Lei, formerly known as Gu Xiaotian, Wuxi Huishan people, twelve years old on the mixing of Shanghai, because of the handsome …… appearance”.
“This guy used to be in the area of North Sichuan Road, and also worked as a waiter in Xinya Hotel for a while, in addition, he is likely to be a member of the Zodiac Society, but it should not be a big shot!”
Shen Mo’s investigation was very meticulous, and he was at the Xian Luos Cabaret, where he knew a wider network of people and was better informed.
This position was more extensive than the information he had obtained at the Tram Factory.
“He also opened a private room at the Huizhong Inn on Sanmao Road for no more than a month, but with his financial resources, he can’t afford to spend so much, he doesn’t smoke big cigarettes, but gambles, often going to a casino called ‘Hollywood’, and in the past, he was also a regular customer of the Grand View Garden Baths. ”
“Does he have gambling debts?”
“I haven’t heard of it, but in recent times, some people say that he is generous, and he doesn’t blink when he loses several hundred at a casino.” Shen Mo said, “I haven’t seen him borrowing loan sharks from the casino either.”
“Keep an eye on him for me, and notify me at the first opportunity if there are any unusual movements. ”
“Understood.”
“Chief, today’s news, a diplomat’s wife committed suicide because of gambling.” Xu Qinghe came in with a newspaper.
“Hasn’t there been a frequent occurrence of people losing their homes to gambling lately?” Cheng Mo asked as he took his jacket off and hung it on the hanger.
“Almost every day, the casinos over in Shanghai West have especially many tricks, as long as you go in, you have to peel off layers of skin before you can come out, I haven’t heard that there are a few people who have made a fortune by winning money from gambling.” Xu Qinghe nodded.
“Listen up, you few, if you let me find out that you are gambling, you will be fired immediately, and will never give any chance.” Cheng Mo said.
“Yes.”
“Keep an eye on the Damei Evening News side for me, the frequency of reports has been a bit high lately, don’t let anything happen.” Cheng Mo gave another command.
“Understood.”
“Where’s Old Lin, what did he do, I didn’t see him at work early in the morning?”
“Went out, specifically what to do, I can’t ask.”
“Okay, you go.”
In the afternoon, Lin Huarong came back, straight upstairs to see Cheng Mo, said there is important news to report.
Naturally, Cheng Mo could not refuse.
“Inspector Cheng, I’ve gotten news that tomorrow night, there is a cargo ship leaving the sea from the 16th store pier, and on board is smuggled contraband, and women who are trafficking to the South Seas.”
“Human smuggling and trafficking!” Cheng Mo was shocked, he knew that human trafficking was rampant in the Concession Area, the two Concession Area arresting houses have people doing this kind of “cut off the children and grandchildren”, this kind of trade is not a secret, but no one investigated and dealt with it.
The European and American powers didn’t care, the trafficking was all Chinese, besides, they could still get a lot of benefits from it.
However, in the law, human trafficking is expressly prohibited.
If you move people’s wealth, they will definitely fight with you. Lin Huarong revealed such a piece of news to himself, what is the meaning of this? Cheng Mo suddenly felt the other party’s sinister intentions.
“That’s right, this cargo ship is owned by the Canadian Steamship Company, Lin Tan, should we report it to the top?” Lin Huarong asked tentatively.
“Is the information reliable?” Cheng Mo asked in a deep voice.
“There shouldn’t be any problem, the information given to me by this line hasn’t been wrong.” Lin Huarong said.
“In this case, you go and inquire about the time the barge left the harbor, as well as the staffing of the ship, make sure to be as detailed as possible.” Cheng Mo commanded.
“Yes, Cheng Tan.” Lin Huarong nodded in agreement.
Human trafficking, this was a criminal case, a matter for the Criminal Section, and there was no reason for him, a deputy detective of the Political Unit, to be in charge of it at all.
But since he had come across such a case, he couldn’t really treat it as if he didn’t see it, these girls were trafficked to Nanyang, and it was estimated that they would never be able to reunite with their loved ones again in their lives, or even die in a foreign land.
He couldn’t bear to do it.
Why did Lin Huarong give this information to himself, he was able to directly find the Criminal Division side of the butt, why report to himself?
The right thing to do is this, but the right thing to do is not necessarily the right thing to do.
This case was transferred to the Criminal Division, then Chief Hua Detective Inspector You Agen is the mastermind behind the human trafficking, of course, he is not the only one doing this business, and if it is him this time, then once the news leaks out, it is a way for the thief to catch himself, is this possible? Lin Huarong was Tan Shaoliang’s man, this point, Cheng Mo had already measured out.
Is it possible that this is the pit that Tan Shao Liang dug for him? Not impossible.
You Agen is the Chief Chinese Detective, in the old gate police station and even the British Concession power is deeply rooted, even if the power is not as strong as before, but also not a just in the police station not to one year of the young generation can not be shaken.
If Tan Shaoliang clashed with Cheng Mo head-on, the British would be unhappy, but provoking Cheng Mo to clash with You Agen and staying out of the way himself would be another matter.
This is the only possibility.
This workplace power struggle, really everywhere, can not be defended ah.
Breaking the game is not difficult, he can go directly to find You Agen to clarify this matter, showing that he does not cross the line, Tan Shaoliang dug him a pit will be completely useless.
You Agen mostly buys abducted girls from the north of Jiangsu Province and other places, and then sells them to the long three halls in the concession area and some of the fireworks halls, but I have not heard that he also has a channel for trafficking to the South China Sea.
Those who trafficked people overseas were usually the Shantou Gang from Guangdong and the Triads from Chaozhou, Fujian, who had close ties with the South Seas and had channels to transport them out.
There is also labor trafficking to Europe and South America, which is rare now, as the Concession has become an isolated island, making it difficult to get out.
When it comes to Canadian cargo ships, Cheng Mo does not dare to make decisions without authorization, and has to consult Pryde and York.
However, before things are clear, he does not intend to report it for the time being, after all, it is only a message in the end is not clear whether it is true or not.
In the evening, back home.
Su Moer told Cheng Mo about Tan Xiaoya’s intention to resign.
This time Cheng Mo 100% confirmed that this Tan Xiaoya was cheated by Gu Lei, but also back to Hangzhou to see his parents, where did he get his parents? Even if there are, that is also in Wuxi, it is impossible to be in Hangzhou.
The situation was obvious now.
“Alright, Mori, you don’t need to worry about Tan Xiaoya’s matter, I’ll handle it.” Cheng Mo comforted Su Moer with a cry.
“Ah Mo, she’s the first friend I met in Jiren Hospital, no matter what, I don’t want anything to happen to her.” Su Mo’er nodded.
“Don’t worry.”
