Chapter 1200: It Finally Appeared

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Oh, I was wondering why it sounded so near! Zhao Yu said.

Zhao Yu was still talking to Xiong Wendong through the phone, but Xiong Wendong suddenly appeared at the other end of the corridor, beckoning towards Zhao Yu.

It turned out that the Wuqing County Criminal Police Office was only a two-story building, and the autopsy room was located on the first floor. So, when Xiong Wendong came back, he immediately saw Zhao Yu and Gao Facai.

Thus, he quickly put down the phone and ran to the two of them, and said excitedly, Officer Zhao, the problem indeed lies with the s.h.i.+p!

There was news from the boatman just now. A s.h.i.+p captain was claiming that one night more than half a month ago, a cargo s.h.i.+p they were driving was stopped by the marine patrol officers around the Bai Sha River in Pan Jiawan District!

The officer on patrol suspected that they had contraband on board, so he detained them and searched for more than two hours before they were allowed to be released!

Oh? The marine patrol? Zhao Yu frowned.

Yeah, Xiong Wendong said. Isnt that a little weird? I checked, and when the police intercepted the s.h.i.+p, it was the same night that Bai Lang stole Su Lans body!

That Zhao Yu felt like he could grasp something but could not fully understand what it was. Gao Facai, on the other hand, was completely confused.

If there is an anti-drug mission, a search is usually carried out at the pier. It is unlikely that a group of marine police would appear in the middle of the river, so something smells fishy! Xiong Wendong said, patting his chest proudly. Im not tooting my own horn, but I have the most friends within the Wuqing Shan police!

I have already made an inquiry. There have been no special inspection missions ordered by the narcotics bureau recently, so this group must have been fake!

Oh Zhao Yu finally understood. In other words, we have finally figured out why the criminals in the coffin case werent worried about being discovered by the cargo s.h.i.+ps that pa.s.sed by. They had had already made arrangements with both of the rivers around the Seven Stars Hanging Coffin!

Yes, Pan Jiawan is not far from the Seven Stars Hanging Coffin, Xiong Wendong said. Those fake marine police must be in cahoots with the criminals in the hanging coffin case!

Also, Zhao Yu said, nodding and sighing, They even dared to use the Seven Stars Hanging Coffin. So, they must be a big deal. So it is not surprising for them to send someone to pose as a police officer!

That Dr. Gao, at that point, also realized something and added quickly, In that case, the criminal must have used the cargo s.h.i.+p to put the bodies into the hanging coffin. Then the s.h.i.+p? Did you manage to find it?

I found it! Xiong Wendong answered quickly, nodding. Of course I found it. Not only did I find it, I found it just as it was!

Oh, then what are you waiting for? Tell us quickly! Zhao Yu urged.

The boss of the s.h.i.+p that was intercepted by the fake police said that their s.h.i.+p was going up against the current, Xiong Wendong said. After the police released them, they continued to sail north along the river. As soon as they came out, they came across a cargo s.h.i.+p from Yun Hai Company and pa.s.sed by them!

Yun Hai Company? Zhao Yu repeated the words, feeling a sense of deja vu.

s.h.i.+p? What kind of s.h.i.+p? Dr. Gao asked, suddenly becoming interested.

I have photos here Xiong Wendong said, turning on his phone and opening a photo. The boss of the boat had a camera installed, and this is the screenshot of the video footage from that time!

It is as we guessed. There must be something wrong with this s.h.i.+p!

Is this the s.h.i.+p? Zhao Yu asked, looking at the photo. It looked like a very ordinary cargo s.h.i.+p and it was smaller than he imagined. This s.h.i.+p has no sign or anything. How do you know that this belongs to Yun Hai Company?

Huh? Yun Hai Company? Xiong Wendong scratched his head. Seeming to have recalled something, he quickly said, Oh, sorry! My bad! Its not Yun Hai Company, but Yun Hai Group!

Officer Zhao! he said, pointing at the cargo s.h.i.+p in the picture. You are from the north, so you might not be aware of this, but everyone in Fu Lai Province knows about the Yun Hai group!

Yes, Ive heard of them! Dr. Gao echoed. It seems like they specialize in s.h.i.+pping? I think I might have seen their advertis.e.m.e.nts somewhere before!

Yes, Xiong Wendong said, frowning. But before that, Yun Hai Group started with domestic freight s.h.i.+pping!

Their peak was in the 1990s. At that time, the s.h.i.+pping activities in these major rivers in Fu Lai Province were all contracted to their company, and they made a ton of money!

Later on, due to the development of the expressway, the demand for inland s.h.i.+pping gradually declined. So, Yun Hai Group set its sights on the broader maritime s.h.i.+pping and has steadily become the largest sea s.h.i.+pping company in southeast China today!

Moreover, its not just s.h.i.+pping and maritime transportation. They also operate several real estate companies and some other different types of industries. They are well-known in the Fu Lai Province!

So, although there is no signage on their s.h.i.+p, the boss of the s.h.i.+p that pa.s.sed by them operates the s.h.i.+p regularly and can recognize their boats in a glance! He pointed at the photo again. He said yes, this is definitely a boat that belongs to Yun Hai Group!

Yun Hai Group Zhao Yu murmured. We had previously predicted that in this case, there would be someone who was super rich involved. Dont tell me

By the way, did Engineer w.a.n.g look for you earlier? Xiong Wendong said again. I have shown him the video of the boat. He said that there are obvious signs of modification on the side of the s.h.i.+p. He suspects that they may be using some kind of inflatable device underneath the boat that enables them to control the excessive weight load!

Look again, he said, pointing to the photo. You can see that in the middle and rear parts of the boat, there are big bulges covered with canvas

Engineer w.a.n.g believes that under the canvas, there should be that fire trucks extendable ladder that we were discussing earlier!

What? Extendable ladder? Dr. Gao said in shock. How is that possible? The ladder can rise to up to 40 meters, how can it be this small?

Oh? Zhao Yu seemed to be quite taken aback. You seem to know quite a lot about ladders, Dr. Gao, he said.

I wouldnt say I know a lot! Gao Facai said seriously. But if I am a criminal, there is no way I would choose to use a fire trucks extendable ladder!

Oh, why not? Zhao Yu asked.

Because in comparison, there are far more practical tools! Gao Facai said carefully. Those types of extendable ladders are used for high-alt.i.tude rescue cases. Due to the nature of the work, its cost is very high, and it is not easily obtainable either. Even if you have money, you cant buy it!

However, it would be much simpler if it was an extension ladder truck used by a moving company!

Huh? Extension ladder truck? Zhao Yu and Xiong Wendong were stunned.

Yeah, why? Have you guys never engaged a moving company before? Gao Facai asked. The buildings in the big cities are designed like pigeon nests. The elevators are too small, and there are many large household items. You cant enter through the elevator or the door, so the moving company will use this kind of ladder to move things into the house!

Oh Zhao Yu and Xiong Wendong nodded simultaneously. It seems that people living in big cities are just different!

Qin Shan, where Zhao Yu was located, and Wuqing, where Xiong Wendong lived, didnt have many high-rise buildings. So naturally, they had not seen such advanced tools.

Fast, convenient, and cheap! Gao Facai explained. A couple hundred-thousand can buy you an extension ladder truck that can be raised up to 28 meters!

Twenty-eight meters? Thats not enough Xiong Wendong said, shaking his head. The highest hanging coffin is 41 meters high, isnt that too big a difference?

Hmm Gao Facai nodded. Then it has to be ordered directly from the manufacturer! For every one meter added, the cost of the truck will also increase!

Leader Zhao, there are not many manufacturers around. Such special orders must be pretty easy to check!

Understood, Ill get Zeng Ke to look into it! Zhao Yu said, picking up the phone and wanting to call Zeng Ke. Suddenly, he remembered he had a question and quickly asked Xiong Wendong, Oh, right, the head of Yun Hai Group who is it?

Lin Lin something? Look at my forgetful brain why cant I remember Xiong Wendong said, grasping at his hairs. In any case, its a woman!

Oh, a woman? Zhao Yu asked.

Zhao Yu already had his phone out so he simply went ahead to search for it on the net.

In the end, the information was obtained through a simple search. The current chairman of the group was indeed a woman who was named Lin Chaofeng!

Oh my G.o.d! he said.

It wasnt the name that caught Zhao Yu by surprise, but the age of the person. When he saw it, he exclaimed in shock and almost dropped his phone.

Born on February 15, 1952! Zhao Yu said. Thats January 20 of the lunar calendar of that year! Haha! You cant escape now! The person represented by the eight characters on the yellow paper has finally shown herself!
