"Is this what? Is it drugs?"
Hu Baoguo pulled open the storage compartment and found it stuffed with boxes of medicine. He took out one box and popped out a capsule, pouring the white powder inside onto his palm.
"Yes, it's the new type of drug after being diluted." Qin Feng nodded and said, "Brother Hu, when you investigate cases and look for evidence, aren't these all evidence?"
After staying in the "drug factory" for half a month, Qin Feng had figured out some patterns. The "drug factory" didn't distribute drugs every day; it always chose days with particularly bad weather.
Moreover, the trucks carrying the drugs were personally arranged by Man Bao. There were also slight differences in the outer packaging of the "medicine," which is why Qin Feng could quickly find the drugs in the container of goods at the back.
"Evidence? Can these pieces of evidence prove that you, a young man, are transporting drugs, and what does it have to do with Yuan Bingqi?"
Upon hearing Qin Feng's words, Hu Baoguo rolled his eyes. Despite the boy's usual intelligence, how could he say such a stupid thing? If having drugs could lead to a conviction, they would have executed Yuan Bingqi a hundred times already.
Qin Feng, who was driving, suddenly turned his face and looked at Hu Baoguo seriously, saying, "What if these drugs appeared in Yuan Bingqi and Man Bao's residence?"
"What? You... You mean the evidence is this?" Hu Baoguo was taken aback, then shook his head and said, "This won't do. Isn't this planting evidence?"
Although he knew Yuan Bingqi was the mastermind, the police had their own procedures. Even if they used some means at times, no one would dare to tamper with a case supervised by the Ministry of Public Security.
"Brother Hu, you can wait, but I can't afford to wait any longer..."
Qin Feng said firmly, "Let's end this today. You keep the radio on, and I'll leave a message after I'm done. Then you go and catch the criminals and seize the evidence. That will be the end of it."
"Rubbish, is it that simple?" Hu Baoguo just shook his head. He didn't believe that a case that had stumped the special task force could be so easily resolved.
"It is that simple."
Qin Feng pointed to the drugs and said, "There are three kilograms of heroin here, worth over thirty million. According to our country's criminal law, trafficking fifty grams is enough for the death penalty...
"Plus the dozens of kilograms of drugs in the laboratory of the drug factory, this evidence is enough to make an ironclad case. Brother Hu, this might even get you a promotion..."
Qin Feng was not a police officer; he didn't need to think like one. For him, as long as he could achieve his goal, any method was acceptable.
"What you said seems somewhat feasible."
Hu Baoguo, who worked as a prison guard, thought differently from the criminal investigation team. Hearing Qin Feng's words, he was somewhat moved. The great man who passed away this year once said, "It doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it catches the mouse, it's a good cat!"
"Qin Feng, how do I explain to the special task force that the drugs were found in their residence?"
Hu Baoguo lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "Also, their current residence is under surveillance. How do you put the drugs there without them noticing?"
"Brother Hu, just say it's a tip from an informant. Once the drugs are found, everyone will have made a great contribution. Who will care about the informant's life? I believe no one will ask you."
Qin Feng slowed down the car even more and continued, "As for how I put the drugs there, don't worry about it. I guarantee they won't notice."
"Do you have the confidence?" Hu Baoguo stared at Qin Feng tightly.
"Of course, I'm not ready to die yet." Qin Feng nodded firmly.
"Alright, let's do it your way..." Hu Baoguo gritted his teeth and said, "The special task force's armed police are on standby 24/7. As soon as I receive your message, I'll lead the team to arrest them!"
It was more about believing the old man who had passed away than believing Qin Feng. As Zai Shi's direct disciple, such underhanded tactics should not be difficult for Qin Feng.
Hu Baoguo was known for his boldness on the battlefield. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been demoted to a correctional facility after his military service. Now, the restless elements in his body were starting to stir again.
As the initiator of the case and the deputy leader of the special task force appointed by a leader in the Ministry, Hu Baoguo had the authority to arrest criminals.
Of course, if no evidence was found, he would likely spend the rest of his life as the director of the correctional facility.
"Stop the car!"
When the car reached an intersection to get on the highway, Hu Baoguo shouted to stop the car, pushed open the door, and jumped out. Qin Feng saw a small car stop beside him through the rearview mirror.
"A dark and stormy night, perfect for murder and arson!"
Listening to the heavy rain pounding on the car window, Qin Feng grinned. After passing through the toll gate, he pushed the gear and accelerated into the rain.
At 11:42 PM, a truck loaded with Western medicine drove into a cargo station in Lang City, Ji Province.
Although it was dark and raining outside, the cargo station was brightly lit. Qin Feng parked the car under a shed, turned off the engine, and jumped out.
"Good job, Feng."
A young man in his late twenties with a middle part hairstyle walked over, handed a cigarette to Qin Feng, and said, "Was the trip smooth? Brother Leopard called several times to check..."
Qin Feng took out a lighter and lit the cigarette for the other person first, then took the cigarette and said, "No problem, Brother Bing. The rain was too heavy, I didn't dare to drive fast. If I flipped the car, it would be a big trouble."
Qin Feng was familiar with the person receiving the goods. Because he was big and round like a pancake, he was nicknamed "Pancake." This cargo station, located between Beijing and Tianjin, was always managed by him.
"Right, you need to be careful."
Pancake nodded and said, "Feng, rest for a bit. I'll have the workers unload the goods and have a drink with you. Damn, the rain is too heavy, you might as well stay..."
"Brother Bing, that won't do. Brother Leopard has a rule that the driver must return the same day, no matter how late it is." Qin Feng shook his head and said, "Please unload the car quickly. It takes another two hours to drive back. I can get some sleep when I return..."
"Alright!" Pancake opened the back door of the truck and shouted, "Move quickly, follow the list and distribute the goods carefully. Don't make any mistakes."
While talking, Pancake didn't idle. He held a list and got into the truck, rummaging through the mountain of medicine for a while, then carried a one-meter-square box with aspirin packaging down.
Seven or eight workers were unloading the goods, and no one paid attention to Pancake. Only Qin Feng, who was smoking by the car door, saw that Pancake used an infrared scanner to carefully scan the box's seal.
"Damn, lucky I was careful and didn't touch the seal. I opened the box from the bottom..."
Qin Feng was startled. The reason he was late by ten minutes today, besides talking with Hu Baoguo on the way, was actually because of the box containing the drugs.
"Brother Leopard, the box is intact..." After checking the box, Pancake secretly took out a phone and called Man Bao.
"Okay, is there anything unusual with Feng?" Man Bao's voice came from the phone.
"No, he made three or four trips today and looks quite tired," Pancake said in a low voice.
"The rain is heavy today, load the goods first and send them out early tomorrow morning..."
Man Bao gave instructions over the phone. Besides him and Yuan Bingqi, only the three cargo station managers knew what was in the box. This job was originally done by Yuan Dong, but since Yuan Dong died young, Man Bao had to take charge personally.
After giving a few instructions to Pancake, Man Bao hung up the phone and looked at Yuan Bingqi, who was sitting opposite him, and said, "Brother Yuan, everything is set. Once this thirty million worth of goods is sent out, the northern market will be almost saturated."
Every time the goods were shipped, Man Bao always waited with Yuan Bingqi. Only after the goods arrived and were safely received could they relax.
"Brother Leopard, I've been feeling something is off lately."
Yuan Bingqi looked out the dark window and shook his head, saying, "Are Chang Lao Si and the people in the South District like Jian Guo being too quiet? Long has provoked them several times, but they just tolerated it!"
"I also feel something is off."
Man Bao nodded and said, "Brother Yuan, after we clear all the goods in hand, let's cut off the supply and go abroad to hide for a while. The money I have in Thailand and Switzerland is enough for us to live on for several lifetimes."
"Good, we need to have the money and the life to spend it."
Hearing Man Bao's words, Yuan Bingqi seemed to have made up his mind, and he relaxed, smiling, "I originally wanted to cultivate Feng, but it seems unnecessary now."
Yuan Bingqi's subordinates were divided into two types. One type openly operated in the underworld, and most of them had criminal records in the police station, making them a focus of the police.
The other type had a clean record and had never committed any crimes. They were involved in the drug business, and they did not know each other, having no interaction.
Qin Feng was originally unqualified, but because he had only been with Chen Yu for a short time and had a flexible mind, Yuan Bingqi decided to cultivate him.
However, "Master Yuan" did not know that the supposedly clean Qin Feng had already
