Chapter 151 Baihualou's Counterattack
After Baihualou was closed down, many girls became homeless and still stayed.
When they saw Li Baniang, they all looked surprised.
Li Baniang, as the former helmsman of Baihua Building, was once the right-hand man of Qian's consort. She had been running Baihua Building for more than ten years and had gone through countless ups and downs. She also knew all about the secret operations and shady methods inside Baihua Building. Her
Arrival is undoubtedly a sharp knife that will tear open the flaws of Baihua Tower.
Shopkeeper Li Cai had sweat on his forehead. He knew very well what Li Baniang's arrival meant to Baihualou. He said in a trembling voice, "Banniang, aren't you already dead?"
Li Baniang smiled faintly and said, "For some people, there is no difference between living and dead if there is no use value. It seems that I am really useless. You have not even cared about my life or death."
She slowly looked around and looked at the surrounding decorations. It used to be antique and artistic, but now it's magnificent and rich, and she couldn't help but shake her head and said: "In the past few months, Baihua Building has been made nondescript by you."
Li Baniang slowly came to Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing, saluted politely and said: "Li Baniang, a sinner, has seen Fan Baotou and Zhao Baotou."
Fan Xiaodao was overjoyed, "Banniang, please get up!"
He and Zhao Xing had approached Li Baniang before, hoping that she would come forward to testify against Baihualou's shady business, but she refused. Today, Li Baniang's arrival was like a ray of light in the darkness, which was unexpected.
Li Baniang also experienced a struggle in her heart.
Although she lives in seclusion in the alleys and seems to be unconcerned with worldly affairs, Li Baniang pays more attention to the dynamics of the capital than anyone else. Before, when Baihua Building was sealed off, Li Baniang did not come out because she had a clear understanding of the princess's strength. As expected, there was no
How long did it take for Baihua Building to be unsealed and reopened for business? However, unexpectedly, within a day, Fan and Zhao sealed Baihua Building again, and the seal was even more complete.
Especially when Prince Zhu Yan moved to Liumen and served as the chief catcher, Li Baniang smelled a different atmosphere.
She knew her chance had come.
Baihua Building was a place she worked hard to manage, but when something went wrong, the prince-in-law abandoned her as an outcast without hesitation, which made her resentful. Because of this, she decided to stand up.
She has already died once, and this life was picked up.
If she can't take revenge, she will never be able to get over this hurdle in her heart.
Li Baniang said: "The criminals exposed Baihualou for human trafficking, money laundering, tax evasion, hiring murderers and murderers, and sexual bribery of court officials." She took out a thick stack of materials from her arms, "This report letter
There are detailed records of the illegal activities in it, please take a closer look, sir!"
When Li Cai heard this, his knees went weak and he could hardly stand still. He shouted, "Li Baniang, don't spit on others!"
Fan Xiaodao took the materials and looked through them briefly. It was indeed as Li Baniang said, all the evil deeds done by Baihualou over the years were recorded. Moreover, some of the materials seemed to be older. It seemed that Li Baniang had been in Baihualou before.
, has left himself a way out.
With this information, when you check Baihualou, you won't be like a headless fly.
Fan Xiaodao said: "Li Cai, as the shopkeeper of Baihualou, you have been cooperating with the investigation before, but based on the information we have now, we have decided to detain you. Come and detain him!" After hearing this, the two detectives said,
He stepped forward and grabbed Li Cai.
Li Cai struggled and said, "I want to see Qian's consort."
Fan Xiaodao said, "You'd better explain the problem first."
"I want to see my lawyer, I have the right!"
"You have watched too many Hong Kong movies. If you want this right, just wait another two hundred years!"
…
With Li Baniang's report materials, the investigation of the Baihualou case has a breakthrough and has become much easier. Among the materials, there are original records of Baihualou's accounts over the years. After checking them with the current revised accounts, it turned out that these
Baihualou has evaded nearly 300,000 taels in taxes this year! This is a huge amount, enough to put Baihualou and the shareholders behind the scenes in jail.
Regarding human trafficking, after they straightened out their accounts, a gray industrial chain gradually emerged. Baihualou colluded with some gangs and deceived many girls from other places into coming to the capital on the pretext of introducing jobs, and then imprisoned them for execution.
They were treated inhumanely and forced to engage in prostitution. Some women who were old, senile or sick would not receive treatment, but would be killed directly and their bodies dumped in mass graves in the suburbs.
The abducted women were detained in the same private prison where Niu Dafu was originally imprisoned. However, the prisoner was very cunning and after searching several times, no evidence was found.
No evidence can stand alone.
Li Baniang's confession can be used as an important clue, but it cannot be used as evidence for conviction. Unless other evidence is found, or Li Cai can plead guilty, but after Li Cai was imprisoned, he probably received instructions from some people and kept silent.
Word.
It is very difficult to obtain zero confession.
What's more, they seized Baihualou in order to deal with the consort Qian Shoudao and only arrested Li Cai, which made no sense at all.
Due to the special investigation of the case, Fan Xiaodao, Zhao Xing and others lived directly in Baihua Building.
After nightfall, Fan Xiaodao was sorting out the materials. Zhao Xing walked in with a tired look on his face and said: "We have been interrogating for three hours in a row. Baihualou is a serious business on the surface. As for other things, those people are...
The only person who knows the inside story is their accountant, but this person left the capital half a month ago, citing family matters."
"Where's Li Cai?"
"I insisted that I had just become the shopkeeper not long ago and I didn't know anything about these things."
Fan Xiaodao thought for a while, "Those abducted women, there are always people to deal with them, right?"
Zhao Xing smiled bitterly and said, "I heard that those people are gangsters. When Baihua Building was first seized, they were already scattered. I have already asked a few names and ordered people to send out sea arrest documents and go to arrest them. This case is more complicated than
It’s harder than we imagined.”
Fan Xiaodao nodded, "Soldiers are very quick. Master Yang only gave us three days. Baihua Tower is an important source of wealth for Qian Shoudao. They will never sit idly by and will definitely fight back. Recently, the public opinion in the capital has been against
Our six doors are a bit disadvantageous. By the way, where is Li Baniang?"
Zhao Xingdao said, "Don't worry, this is the key witness in this case. I have sent four police officers to protect you, and I have a stable woman to accompany you. I will stay with you until the case is closed."
Fan Xiaodao said, "It is quite inconvenient for male catchers to take care of you. It seems that we have six gates and it is necessary to introduce some female catchers. Last time, I think the girl Lin who was quite aware of you was good."
Lin Qiaoqiao?
At Aunt Li's birthday party a month ago, she had said that she wanted to join the Six Sects, but after that, there was no follow-up. Zhao Xing had a headache for Lin Qiaoqiao and wished she wouldn't disturb her. When Fan Xiaodao mentioned her,
He also countered, "Why haven't you seen your Miss Li recently?"
Fan Xiaodao smiled bitterly, "Look, I'm so busy all day long, how can I have time to spend time with others?"
The last time I saw Bai Wuchang seemed to be ten days ago. The two of them had a meal at Songhe Tower. Before they finished eating, they were called away by Niu Dafu to investigate the case. Besides, this Bai Wuchang, although he lives in the capital,
, the dragon has been missing all day long, its whereabouts are elusive, and it is unclear what it is doing.
Zhao Xing sighed: "Being a catcher means there is no love."
He saw that Fan Xiaodao was still writing and asked, "What are you writing?"
Fan Xiaodao said, "We have made a breakthrough today. I will organize my thoughts and go to see the prince early tomorrow morning. Will you come with me?"
Zhao Xing waved his hand, "I won't go. His Highness the Crown Prince values you, and I will give this credit to you."
Fan Xiaodao said angrily, "What is allowed or not allowed is beyond the pale!"
Zhao Xing sighed, "I have never seen through His Highness the Crown Prince. I don't know what kind of person he is. He is very kind to you and me, but my father warned me to keep my distance from him."
"Zhao Shangshu?"
Zhao Xing nodded, "Over the years he has been in the officialdom, he seems to be rough and arrogant, but in fact he is rough and detailed, and he sees things more clearly than us." As he said, he took the materials and saw Li Baniang's share of the implementation of the measures against the officials in the DPRK.
The list of sexual bribes makes me think, "This is a big deal!"
Fan Xiaodao said, "What's wrong with this? This is clearly a thunderbolt. If this list is revealed, many officials in the capital may not be able to sleep well. This is why I want to interview the prince. This matter is related to
As important as it is, let him make the decision. The tax evasion and tax evasion matter has been found out, and the most important thing now is to find evidence of human trafficking and murder."
Zhao Xingdao: "Everyone knows that Baihua Building is Qian Shoudao's property, but how can we connect these evidences with him? Otherwise, after a long investigation, he comes out and denies it, which is proof of innocence!"
"So don't act rashly, we must verify the evidence and put him in jail!"
"Help!"
A cry for help came from outside the door. Fan and Zhao heard the words and hurriedly came to the courtyard. They saw a half-naked woman with disheveled hair running madly in the courtyard, which attracted the girls in other buildings to open the doors and come out to watch.
.
Not far away, Niu Dafu and another agent named Bai Qi stood at the door with their faces flushed.
"What's up!"
When the woman saw the crowd, she fluttered, knelt down, pointed at Niu Dafu and Bai Qi, and said to Fan and Zhao, "These two men molested me and wanted to rape me. Please make the decision for the daughter of the people."
!”
Fan Xiaodao frowned, "What's going on?"
The woman said, "My name is Lily. Tonight, these two arresters said they wanted to interrogate the women of the country and asked the women to cooperate. After the women obeyed, they followed them to the interrogation room. However, after asking a few questions, they
So I stepped forward, took off the clothes of the women, and asked them to do something inappropriate. If the women didn’t obey, they would beat me. Woo woo!”
Fan Xiaodao looked at Niu Dafu, who looked aggrieved and said, "This little bitch framed us!"
Lily pointed at the scratches on her body and cried, "Sir, they did it with their own hands!"
At this moment, Master Yu came out of the darkness with two men dressed as scholars, "I didn't expect that a six-door official would do such a beastly thing. Two brothers, this matter is really serious."
Write well."
A thin scholar said: "I really didn't expect that a public official of the imperial court would do such a dirty act, which is heartbreaking. This incident will definitely appear on the front page of Xiaosheng Jianghu tomorrow!"
Another tall scholar said: "Miss Lily, the emperor breaks the law and the common people are equally guilty. These two policemen intend to rape you. You can report them! The two of us will definitely testify for you!"
Fan Xiaodao recognized these two people, one named Feng Jing and the other named Ma Liang. They were Cai Feng from Xiaosheng Jianghu in the capital, and his face sank. He understood that what happened tonight was not a coincidence, but was done under the instructions of Baihualou.
The counterattack has already begun.
Chapter completed!
