The crackdown on organized crime began with the arrest of the mother-in-law.

Chapter 514 Who?

These past few days in Qin Chuan, aside from studying materials in the office, I've actually spent the vast majority of my time outside.

He has been to the Youhao Road Farmers Market for three consecutive days.

The reason why Aijia Supermarket Group was chosen as the target of the current comprehensive action is because Qin Chuan has already discovered the location of the Youhao Road Farmers Market.

The discovery of this point was actually quite coincidental.

Qin Chuan had been planning to buy a house shortly after he was transferred to the Linzhou Public Security Bureau.

Over the past few days, they've looked at almost all the properties near the Forestry Department. They've found a large, single-level apartment that's quite close to both of their workplaces.

The large apartment was located near Youhao Road, and Qin Chuan happened to come and take a look at the farmers' market there that day. What he saw there shocked him.

This place turned out to be the distribution center for smuggled meat products from overseas in the entire Linzhou City.

So from that day on, Qin Chuan kept an eye on this place, but he did not rashly send people to investigate.

The farmers' market on Youhao Road has existed for over twenty years, and it was only recently acquired by Aijia Supermarket after its rise in recent years.

So, the exact time when Qin Chuan became a distribution center for smuggled meat from overseas still needs further investigation.

However, he dared not use some people, and he was not clear about the situation at the Linzhou Public Security Bureau, nor did he have any of his own people there.

Sending people there rashly would not only easily spread rumors within the organization, but it would also be difficult to uncover any core information.

After all, it's impossible for everyone to participate in something like this at the Youhao Road Farmers Market; there must be key personnel involved.

Based on the information Qin Chuan gathered at the time, the other party was a highly organized and tightly structured criminal organization.

However, the person Lu Chuan saw at the time was just one of the lower-level figures, and didn't know much about the core information.

The investigation needs to continue; after all, evidence still needs to be gathered, and preparations for the subsequent raid need to be made. Since Qin Chuan has no one else he can trust, he has no choice but to conduct the investigation himself.

This is why Qin Chuan hasn't been working overtime these past few days.

After getting off work, I drove to pick up Lin Yueting. The two of them looked at houses near Youhao Road, and after that, they went to the vegetable market to take a stroll.

At the time, Lin Yueting wondered why Qin Chuan always came to the vegetable market.

He smiled and said he was just checking the prices of vegetables and meat at the market because he needs to be frugal in the future.

The farmers' market was not yet busy at 11:00 p.m.

Normally, farmers' markets are busiest from around 3 a.m. until 6 or 7 a.m.

Most merchants start receiving and serving vegetables around 2 or 3 a.m.

Compared to other industries, working in a farmers' market is honestly quite tough.

It can be said that they are busy from morning till night, with no time to rest.

Vegetable wholesalers usually gather at the farmers' market around two or three in the morning.

Because the earliest vegetable farmers will arrive at two or three o'clock this morning, or the trucks will also arrive at that time.

After wholesaling the vegetables, they need to display them at their own stalls.

From selecting vegetables to weighing them and setting up the stall, it takes two to three hours of work.

If we start working around 2 or 3 o'clock, we'll finish around 5 or 6 in the morning.

This is when classes are in session, and it's also when ordinary people go to the market to buy the vegetables, eggs, and milk they need during the day.

Under normal circumstances, the market is quietest between 11:00 and 12:00, which is usually before 2 or 3 a.m.

Because the vegetable market closes at 7 or 8 pm at the latest, there are hardly any people left in the market.

The shops wouldn't reopen until around 2 or 2 a.m. the next day, when the merchants would rush in to start preparing for the next day.

However, when Qin Chuan arrived with a team of armed police, the Quanye Market appeared completely dark from the outside, but was brightly lit inside once the doors were opened.

"who?"
