Chapter 1718 Warehouse

Ten minutes later, Liu Fusheng and the task force's convoy had driven out of the village entrance.

Qin Guang parked his car on the side of the road, then got into Liu Fusheng's car and said, "Thanks to Secretary Liu's help this time, otherwise it would be difficult for our police to handle the situation in Hongcun."

Liu Fusheng sighed: "It's a pity that Hong Haotian committed suicide. The arson case is even more confusing."

Qin Guang said, "Yes, with Hong Haotian's death, the clues we have are gone. Do you want to go to the special case team to learn more about the situation?"

Liu Fusheng said, "Brother Qin, please arrange for someone to go with me to the fire scene. I will go to the task force after I have examined the scene."

Qin Guang said: "Let Shen Qingqing go with you. She should be responsible for the interrogation of Hong Haotian."

Now that Hong Haotian is dead, Shen Qingqing is safe for the time being.

Liu Fusheng went with her to Jiangtou Guesthouse.

On the way, the two had a brief exchange on the progress of the task force's work.

Shen Qingqing said: "Many local natural villages like Hongcun have some connection with smuggling to some extent. Some of them have even established group companies to expand their business and gain a certain influence."

Liu Fusheng pondered and said, "I have also heard that the largest company in Jiangtou City, Ocean International, is of this nature?"

Shen Qingqing said, "Yes, the chairman of Sino-Ocean International is called Hai Changchun, a man with connections. Not only is he well-connected in the three cities of Chaojiang, he also has connections in East Guangdong Province and even in Beijing. Hai Changchun did not come out to greet you when you came to Chaojiang to take up your post. This is something worth pondering."

Liu Fusheng nodded, agreeing with Shen Qingqing's judgment.

The Secretary of the Chaojiang Municipal Party Committee is the top leader of the Chaojiang area.

When the new official took office, all the important figures in Chaojiang area should come to meet him and say hello, but Hai Changchun was the only one who didn't take Liu Fusheng seriously.

He did not come to welcome Liu Fusheng, but instead organized a large-scale charity event in Jiangtou City, which clearly told everyone that he did not care about Liu Fusheng, the outsider secretary of the municipal party committee.

The vehicle continued driving and passed by a very imposing building.

Shen Qingqing pointed to the building and said, "This is also Hai Changchun's property, it's called Mingyue Building."

Liu Fusheng asked: "Office building?"

Shen Qingqing smiled and said, "What office building? This is a luxurious place full of extravagance and extravagance. Hai Changchun has hosted many celebrities here, including leaders of all levels in Guangdong Province, and even officials from other places who he thinks are valuable will be invited to Mingyue Tower to enjoy themselves when they come to Guangdong Province."

Liu Fusheng raised his eyebrows: "Wouldn't it be too obvious to do this? I remember that Tang Shaoying, the full-time deputy secretary of the Guangdong East Provincial Party Committee, also came to Jiangtou City, right?"

Shen Qingqing said: "Deputy Secretary Tang seems to have a good relationship with Hai Changchun. I don't know if he has ever been to Mingyue Tower, but he once praised Hai Changchun and his Sino-Ocean Group in public at a provincial party committee work conference."

Liu Fusheng smiled and suddenly remembered something else: "Shengtang Group recently established a new branch in Chaojiang area?"

Shen Qingqing nodded and said, "Yes, the general manager of this company is someone you know."

Liu Fusheng showed a puzzled expression.

Shen Qingqing said: "Two years ago, you held the Tiankeng Music Festival in Fuyuan City and did a parachute jump... This general manager was the coach who accompanied you in parachuting!"

Liu Fusheng suddenly realized: "Chen Minghao?"

Shen Qingqing said, "Yes, Mr. Chen was originally the general manager of the planning department of Shengtang Group. Now he has been transferred to Chaojiang District as the general manager of the branch. On the surface, it seems that he has been demoted, but in fact, the authority in his hands is much greater than before. After all, everyone knows that Chaojiang District is very lucrative. After being the general manager here for a few years, he must have become financially independent."

Liu Fusheng smiled and did not continue the topic.

He knew that Chen Minghao was actually Tang Shaoxiong's shadow, and under normal circumstances, he should not be transferred away from the Shengtang Group headquarters.

But Tang Shaoxiong did it anyway. What was his purpose?

Because of the Fuyuan skydiving incident, Chen Minghao was under control for a long time. Did Tang Shaoxiong lose trust in this shadow?

Or does he hope that Chen Minghao can assist Tang Shaoying in solving the arson case?

Is it even possible that Chen Minghao himself is related to the arson case?

Chen Minghao's sudden appearance gave Liu Fusheng more guesses... He should talk to General Manager Chen when he has a chance.

Half an hour later, Liu Fusheng's car slowly stopped at the gate of a large courtyard.

Above the gate, there are three iron characters - Guest House.

As a hotel used by the Jiangtou Municipal Government to receive important guests, it is decorated very high-end. However, at this time, the huge guesthouse has been tightly sealed off by the police and cannot receive any guests for the time being.

Only after Shen Qingqing got out of the car, showed her ID and explained her purpose, was Liu Fusheng's car allowed to enter the hotel.

Shen Qingqing said: "In addition to the main building, the guesthouse also has many relatively independent buildings that combine office and accommodation. They are mainly used to receive important leaders who come to Chaojiang area for inspection, or foreign inspection groups, etc., and occasionally host some large-scale meetings."

Liu Fusheng asked: "Where do Brother Han and his family live?"

Shen Qingqing said: "Building No. 3."

It was already evening, the setting sun was approaching the horizon, and its red light shone on the devastated wall of Building No. 3.

The fire that day was so fierce that part of the roof of Building No. 3 collapsed. The building was covered with signs of burning, and rubble was scattered all over the ground, looking extremely desolate.

Shen Qingqing showed her ID to the patrolling police officer, and then took Liu Fusheng and Zhou Xiaozhe into Building No. 3.

A site manager came over and handed them three masks.

After everyone put on their masks, Shen Qingqing asked, "Are there any new discoveries today?"

The person in charge said: "Two new fire points were found. According to the exploration of the fire department, the entire building was found to be doused with flammable liquid. Every place where fuel was poured was a fire point. These fire points are not very helpful for scene reconstruction and cannot serve as directional evidence."

Shen Qingqing asked again: "Where are the traces of the safe being dragged? Did you find them?"

The person in charge shook his head and said, "The wall of the room where the safe is stored has collapsed. No obvious traces can be found. Only some suspicious traces can be found."

Shen Qingqing sighed and turned to look at Liu Fusheng.

Liu Fusheng said: "Take me to the first fire point. It is the explosion site where Li Jianjun heard the first explosion during his night patrol."

The person in charge said, “Okay, that’s the warehouse on the first floor.”

Everyone followed the person in charge on the scene and came to the warehouse that had been burned beyond recognition.
