Chapter 1705 The Too-Smooth Arrest Process



Chapter 1705 The Too-Smooth Arrest Process

The intelligence agency's personnel quickly arrived at the No. 8 Cannery in Nanxun Port.

They then summoned the factory manager for questioning.

"You're saying the workers accidentally stuck this caviar on by hand?"

"Yes, sir!"

"You're talking nonsense! Tell me, how do they manage to pick up hundreds of grams of caviar by dipping their hands in it?"

"You'd better glue it out with your hands, or I'll chop your hands off!"

Now it was the factory manager's turn to fall silent. He stammered and said...

"You know our situation. Many workers treat the factory as their home. For them, taking things from one home to another is just a daily routine."

If they really wanted to investigate, no worker in the entire factory could escape; even replacing them with a different batch would be the same.

After listening to the factory manager's explanation, the intelligence agent fell silent.

After thinking for a while, the intelligence agent spoke.

"Then explain to me, the standard is 20 kilograms, how can you produce 23 kilograms of goods? But the problem is, when you reported it, you still reported 20 kilograms? What happened to the extra? Did you embezzle it?"

The intelligence agent said angrily.

The factory manager stammered in response.

"The fishing industry at sea has dragged me down. It's no joke. You can't guarantee that you'll weigh things accurately every time, but if you don't meet the standards, you'll definitely get yelled at. So the fishing teams will report a little more weight."

"Even if the fishing team did nothing wrong, let me ask you, where did the extra catch go? Did you embezzle it?"

The agent spoke angrily.

"No, these extras are losses!"

The factory manager said with an innocent look on his face.

The agents were so angry they laughed when they heard that.

"A loss of 10%? Even the bones of a fish can be used, and you're telling me the loss can reach 10%?"

Now it was the factory manager's turn to be speechless.

The factory manager was unable to answer him for a moment.

After thinking for a while, the agent spoke.

"Think it over before you speak. Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely. Our intelligence agency isn't some monster. Just tell us honestly."

After listening to the agent's words, the factory manager finally spoke.

"Actually, I was greedy. My main reason was that I wanted to buy a house in Lyongrad..."

Upon hearing this, the agent believed the case was closed.

It seems the factory director was the one leading the corruption, which makes things easier.

The intelligence agency acted immediately, arresting the factory director and several workshop foremen.

The agents thought the case was closed and were ready to happily go home and enjoy life.

But the captain suddenly thought of something.

Why was this matter so simple? Or rather, why did it go so smoothly?

They came over, interrogated him, and arrested him?

How did it go so smoothly?

Moreover, according to the factory manager, they simply replaced 200 cans of food with caviar.

The amount involved was actually not much.

But here's the problem: the intelligence agency found more than 200 cans of food...

Because a single production line can produce more than 200 cans in just a few hours.

How could there be so little?

However, the intelligence agents disagreed, believing that the factory manager had embezzled funds and pulled a switcheroo.

The captain, however, did not believe this explanation.

He believed there must be even bigger fish that hadn't been caught yet.

Since that's the case, let's get to the bottom of it!

The team leader immediately requested permission from the director to continue the investigation.

As the investigation deepened, the team leader discovered that the factory director had a connection with a certain supervisor in the fisheries department.

To be precise, the factory manager actually bribed this supervisor.

The question then arises: if the factory manager is simply engaging in fraudulent practices within his own limited sphere, he wouldn't need to bribe anyone.

Why would he bribe others?

The intelligence chief paced back and forth for a long time before finally coming to a conclusion.

That is to say, this case is far more complex than it appears at present.

With the director's permission, the team leader immediately led his men to investigate the cannery.

It's not that they don't want to investigate further, but some things, once weighed, are much more than just four ounces.

They only received permission from the director and dared not investigate further.

After tracing the clues, they discovered that not only the Ministry of Fisheries had problems, but also the Ministry of Transport and the Customs Department.

Moreover, as the investigation deepened, it was even discovered that there were connections with several other countries.

At this critical juncture, the director immediately halted the investigation.

At the same time, I was considering whether I should continue investigating, because this matter was really tricky, and continuing the investigation might lead to trouble.

But if I don't investigate, I'd be letting down my position.

They're the intelligence agency! They're the protectors of the people, so what are they afraid of? Let's do it!

The director immediately found Hans, who was on vacation. Hans was completely stunned when he heard the news.

Dude, I'm still on vacation, how come you've assigned me work?

Dude, what the hell are you doing?

Hans was about to flip the table, but after thinking for a long time, he finally realized something was wrong.

No matter how I think about it, something just doesn't feel right.

When the intelligence agency investigated from various departments down, they quickly found the people and arrested them. These people immediately confessed.

It went so smoothly that it couldn't have been smoother.

So the intelligence agency realized something was wrong.

Too much success can actually be problematic...

After thinking about it for half a year, Hans finally made up his mind to take action.

Collective corruption, coupled with transnational transactions—this is a matter of utmost importance. What else is there to say? Let's do it!

"Just do your job, I'll take care of everything! I'll even send people to help you."

With permission to use the welding wire, the group was instantly energized and ready to get to work, while the situation on the other side was somewhat complicated.

After receiving Hans's permission, the captain immediately resumed the investigation, but found that something was amiss.

That's why the whole situation is becoming increasingly complicated.

As their investigation deepened, they discovered that they were able to catch some targets each time, but the problem was that the targets they caught were all small fry.

These low-level thugs are completely useless.

To be precise, they never managed to catch the big fish behind the scenes.

Where is the big fish?

(Goodnight, you can probably guess which case this is.)
