Chapter 1758 Valuable Clues

When Liu Fusheng came over, Hong Zhide had already told him everything he knew.

He did not lie in the Hong Clan Ancestral Hall. He did not participate in Hong Haotian's last smuggling activity. However, he provided a very important clue to the police.

Hong Zhide said that before Hong Haotian participated in the final smuggling operation, he had a big drink with his friends who often went out to sea together.

At the dinner table, Hong Haotian said that he wanted to do something big. If he succeeded, he would have the possibility of becoming a big man like Hai Changchun in the future. At that time, all the brothers who hung out with him would be able to make a fortune.

Liu Fusheng pondered and said, "Are you sure that Hong Haotian is talking about Hai Changchun?"

Hong Zhide said: "I am sure that some people said that Hong Haotian was bragging. Hai Changchun is well-known in Guangdong Province. If you can become his brother, you will have no worries about food and drink and walk sideways on the street. To become Hai Changchun, you must have a lot of money in your family grave."

"Hong Haotian said that we are too short-sighted. Hai Changchun also started out as a small fisherman and worked his way up to where he is today. If Hai Changchun can do it, why can't Hong Haotian? Hai Changchun is just luckier, but his strength may not be that great."

"After hearing this, we were all curious and asked Hong Haotian what big business he had come into contact with that made him so confident. But Hong Haotian only said half of the story. No matter how we asked him, he would not say anything. We all felt very disappointed at the time."

Liu Fusheng said to Li Wu, "Please organize all of Hong Zhide's words into materials and show them to Hong Chengli for confirmation... Don't let him see Hai Changchun's part for now."

Li Wu said: "Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

After Li Wu left, Liu Fusheng said, "After the interrogation, I will send someone to take you back to Hong Village. What are your plans next?"

Hong Zhide's face changed: "Send us back? Aren't you going to try Hong Chengli?"

Liu Fusheng shook his head and said, "The person who intended to commit the crime was Hong Jian. Hong Chengli was at most an instigator. He is also the village chief of Hong Village. If we punish him rashly, it will easily cause mass incidents... You don't have to worry about your safety. The Jiangtou City Police Department has already sent people to Hong Village. Hong Chengli dare not retaliate against you."

Hong Zhide was still a little scared: "Secretary Liu, I don't want to go back to Hongcun. Can you please send someone to pick up my family from Hongcun? I plan to stay in Chaojiang City and avoid the limelight first..."

Liu Fusheng said, "Okay, I'll arrange it for you right away. You can call your family and when the whole thing is over, you can choose to live in the village, or go anywhere you want."

"Also, I want to tell you one thing. The reason I was able to rush to the ancestral hall to save you was all thanks to Hong Haoyu. He called me and said that Hong Chengli might hurt those of you who were close to Hong Haotian."

Hong Zhide sighed, "Haoyu is still loyal. Secretary Liu, rest assured, I will strictly keep the secret."

Liu Fusheng said: "I hope you can find an opportunity to get in touch with Hong Haoyu."

Hong Zhide frowned slightly and thought: "Does Secretary Liu want me to get some information from Hong Haoyu?"

Liu Fusheng said: "No need, Hong Haoyu has already cooperated with us, but he is isolated and helpless, so we need you to help him in other ways."

Hong Zhide breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, as long as you arrange for my family, I will fully cooperate with everything else... I just hope we can live a peaceful life as soon as possible."

Liu Fusheng nodded and said, "In addition, regarding Hong Jian's matter, you will also need to write a confession. We will detain Hong Jian according to the law, and after interrogating and collecting evidence, we will prosecute and try him. I believe he must have other cases."

Hong Zhide said: "Yes, Hong Jian is the most vicious thug around Hong Chengli. He must have other cases. Secretary Liu's arrest of Hong Jian is equivalent to helping Hong Village get rid of a threat!"

……

After arranging everything, Liu Fusheng was about to take a break when Qin Guang called.

"I heard that you mobilized the judicial police from Chaojiang City Procuratorate to arrest Hong Chengli?"

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "Brother Qin, I'm sorry that I didn't tell you in advance and made you worry."

Qin Guang sighed, "I am indeed worried about your safety. After all, Hong Village is too large, and the people are ignorant and fanatical. If you rush into the village, you will easily run into danger. Next time a similar situation occurs, you must notify the task force and we must cooperate together."

Liu Fusheng said: "This matter was indeed my negligence, but it happened suddenly and I had no choice."

Qin Guang asked: "What's the matter?"

Liu Fusheng said: "A villager named Hong Wu had his legs broken by Hong Chengli for no reason. He also instigated others to murder another villager named Hong Zhide. In this case, I definitely can't just sit back and watch."

"Hong Chengli is very familiar with some people in the Jiangtou City Public Security Bureau. If I mobilize people in the public security system, he may get the news in advance, resulting in ineffectiveness of the action. Our special case team is from outsiders, and it is easy to cause unnecessary conflicts if they come here. So after thinking about it, I can only find Chief Prosecutor Li of the Chaojiang City Procuratorate. After all, he is a local and has some face in the major clans."

After listening to Liu Fusheng's explanation, Qin Guang asked: "What is the situation now? Did Hong Chengli provide any important clues?"

Liu Fusheng sighed and said, "I underestimated Hong Chengli's stubbornness, and I also underestimated the Hong family's backing."

"Backer?" Qin Guang was slightly stunned.

Liu Fusheng said: "I just took Hong Chengli to the Chaojiang City Procuratorate when I received a call from the Xie family in Haizhou."

Qin Guang heard this, took a deep breath and said: "So, the Xie family wants to support the Hong family?"

Liu Fusheng laughed bitterly. "Yes, you also know the influence of the Xie family in East Guangdong Province. Even if I forcibly detained Hong Chengli, I couldn't get any valuable clues. Even Chief Prosecutor Li of Chaojiang City Procuratorate didn't dare to fully execute my orders. I had no choice but to ask a few simple questions and then release Hong Chengli back to Hong Village."

Qin Guang said: "Damn it, we got nothing again."

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "I got a very valuable clue. The smuggling activity that Hong Haotian was involved in last time was probably related to Sino-Ocean International Group."

"Based on the fuel components detected on his body and in his home, I have reason to believe that Hai Changchun was one of the masterminds of the fuel smuggling and arson case."

Qin Guang was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said: "This news is very important. The task force will immediately strengthen the investigation and monitoring of Hai Changchun... It's a pity that Hong Chengli was not detained this time, otherwise we would definitely be able to find more valuable clues from him."
