Chapter 1190 Arrest
The carriage that Lin Nan was riding in slowly stopped half a street away from Han Zhengshan's residence, waiting for his subordinates who came on foot to slowly surround the target from different directions.Since it is not clear whether Han Zhengshan is using this to set up an ambush to lure himself into the bait, Lin Nan can only be more cautious and not let the other party succeed easily.If groups of suspicious people were found nearby, Lin Nan's subordinates would immediately disperse and give up this operation.
Lin Nan took out a two-foot-long short knife from the hidden compartment of the carriage and handed it to Pan Yan: "I don't know what weapon Brother Pan uses, but the current conditions are limited, so I don't have a choice for now."
Pan Yan took the hand to weigh the weight, and gently pulled the knife out of the sheath. Although there was only a faint light coming in through the curtains in the carriage, the shiny knife surface that was an inch wide reflected the light completely. In Pan Yan's eyes, his fingers felt smooth and icy. His experience told him that this is a good knife made of refined steel.
However, knives made of this material are not uncommon in the Haihan Army, and have almost become standard equipment for ordinary soldiers. This is something that Pan Yan is very envious of.Except for the lack of decent armor, the Haihan army's individual equipment, whether it is weapons, clothing, or combat supplies, is of far higher quality than the Ming army.Of course, after staying with the Haihan Army for a long time, Pan Yan also knows that the Haihan Army's usual tactics require very little armor. Due to the huge advantages of its weapons, the enemy can fight face to face and close quarters on the battlefield. The possibility of this is very small, so there is no armor in their individual equipment. This also makes the Haihan army much more mobile than the Ming army, and the pressure on logistics is also greatly reduced.
Such a saber made of 20-year-old steel may cost more than [-] taels of silver in the Ming Dynasty. Although the sabers issued by ordinary soldiers of the Ming army are larger in size, the cost will not exceed two taels of silver.Needless to say, the team led by Lin Nan should be equipped with similar weapons. Haihan is really rich and generous in this regard.
Pan Yan closed the scabbard, inserted the knife into his belt, and then covered it with the outer robe, so that unless someone came up to search him, it would be difficult to see that he was carrying a sharp knife.
In addition to the same short knife, Lin Nan also has a six-shot capped revolver. Apart from the senior officials of the military and police departments and the bodyguards of the traversers, this thing is one of the few in the Ministry of Security. Field service personnel are eligible for equipment.Of course, the current environment is not suitable for using a weapon with a lot of movement like a pistol. Lin Nan brought it on his body more out of professional habits, just in case.
The two got out of the carriage one after the other, and some subordinates had already come to report to Lin Nan that there was no abnormal sign found near the Han residence, while the field team took a ladder to look at the situation in the yard from the wall, the house was lit with candles, Someone should be home.
"Let's do it, keep the movement quiet, block all the entrances and exits, and don't let any living things go!" Lin Nan gave an action order in a low voice.Now that he has decided to take action, he will not leave any room for it, no matter whether there is an ambush in the courtyard or not, now he can only put all his eggs in one basket.The team under him are all veterans who are used to life and death, and they will not show any stage fright and shrink back in this kind of scene. As long as the order is given, they will resolutely carry it out. As for the details of the action, Lin Nan does not need to emphasize it.
After Han Zhengshan finished his work, he hugged Cui'e and fell into a deep sleep on the bed. He suddenly woke up for no reason. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the candle on the table was only half burned. Did not fall asleep for long.He felt a little thirsty, so he got up from the bed, ready to get out of bed and drink some water.
Just as Han Zhengshan got out of bed, he suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from the yard, as if someone was walking around in the yard.He didn't immediately think about the disadvantages, after all, the government office is not far from here, and the gangsters around know who lives in this yard, and no one will come here to steal chickens and dogs.Besides, he thinks his skills are not bad, and the usual two or three thieves are definitely not his opponents.
Han Zhengshan unhurriedly raised his waist knife, went to the door and opened it to see what was going on outside. Unexpectedly, as soon as the door opened, he felt two icy sharp weapons on his left and right sides. neck.Before he could figure out what happened and whether he should try to struggle and resist, someone quickly snatched the waist knife from his hand.
Because the room was lit with candles, Han Zhengshan's eyes had only adapted to the outdoor environment at this time. He suddenly found that there were at least seven or eight people standing silently in the yard. It's not a thief who comes to steal things.
"Don't move if you want to survive!" Someone whispered in Han Zhengshan's ear.
Han Zhengshan didn't intend to risk his own life. For professional reasons, he could feel that the other party's words were not empty threats, but a real ruthless attack.He had no doubt that if he made a move, the two sharp knives on his neck would cut his own neck immediately.These people should not come here to ask for money, but for themselves.
At the same time, someone came up and twisted his arms behind his back, locked his wrists with metal shackles, and then groped his body to prevent him from hiding other weapons.Several other people entered the room without making a sound, confirmed the situation inside, and escorted Han Zhengshan back into the room.
After a while, Han Zhengshan finally saw the real master, a middle-aged man in black with a stern complexion.The other party did not cover his face, and it seemed that he had no fear of his behavior.
"Han Zhengshan was arrested in the Lower Hangzhou Mansion, did you find the wrong person?" Han Zhengshan forced himself to calm down and asked the other party.
The other party didn't immediately respond to his question, but asked one of his subordinates to identify and confirm Han Zhengshan's identity, then nodded and said, "Han Butou, you are what we are looking for."
"Forgive me for my poor eyesight. I don't know who you are. Since you are looking for Han, can you tell me your identity?" Han Zhengshan asked.
"For this person!" Lin Nan pointed to Cui'e, who was handcuffed behind her back and gagged her mouth: "I want to know what she said to you tonight."
Han Zhengshan forced a smile and said: "So it's for this brothel girl... Dude, I'm just spending money to bring her back for fun. I have no other intentions. If you like it, just take her away!"
Han Zhengshan tried his best to speak more easily, but the cold sweat on his back kept breaking out.He wouldn't be so stupid as to really think that the other party came to compete with her because of a woman like Cui'e, not to mention who would offend Hangzhou's headhunter for such a humble woman, even if such a person really existed, it wouldn't be the person in front of him. People, because what the other party asked was what Cui'e said to him, which obviously meant something.But the problem is that only the two of them should know the content of his conversation with Cui'e today. How could a third party be interested in it? Could it be that Cui'e told others about the news she had?
There was no smile on Lin Nan's face, and he still asked in a very indifferent voice: "Han Butou, so many of us came here to look for you, not to chat with you. If you don't say it, wait a minute Maybe I won’t have the chance to say it.”
How dare Han Zhengshan speak casually about what he is doing. This matter is very involved. A murderer who can kill dozens of people will certainly not mind killing a few more people in order to cover up the truth. He dare not casually share relevant information. exposed to outsiders.What's more, the identities of this group of people are unknown, and their intentions are unclear. If they say too much, they will only expose their shortcomings first, so we should first look at the situation before talking.
Seeing that he was silent, Lin Nan immediately made a gesture, and immediately someone took a cloth and stuffed it in his mouth, and escorted him to the side.However, Lin Nan didn't seem to intend to let him evade, so he immediately asked Cui'e to be brought in front of him.
Lin Nan said in a deep voice: "Whatever I ask, you just say what you want, don't play tricks, you answer honestly, I will save your life, do you understand?"
Cui'e was caught out of the bed in her sleep, wearing only a bellyband and obscene trousers, and now surrounded by a group of men with knives, she was afraid and cold at the moment, tears had already washed the rouge and gouache on her face into streaks The ditch looks rather miserable.After listening to Lin Nan's words, she just nodded desperately, not as calm as Han Zhengshan.
Lin Nan made a gesture, and immediately someone took out the cloth ball in her mouth so that she could speak normally.
"Today Han Butou went to Bichun Garden to look for you, why? Don't tell me, he went to raise money for your ransom because he likes you!" Lin Nan said calmly, "If you think about it carefully, then Answer me, if there is something incomplete or untrue, don't blame me for being rude!"
This Cui'e is just a pretty girl from a brothel, and maybe a little clever, but she has never seen such a scene where a knife rests on her neck, and she has been panicked for a long time. The rhythm changed from loose to tight, and he didn't even think about making up lies, so he quickly responded: "Han Butou has been investigating the fire at Tongsheng Wharf, and the little girl got some relevant information by chance, so she plans to tell Han about it." Catch the head. The little girl has no deep friendship with Han Butou, and the wronged one has a debtor, and I hope the uncle will spare her life, don't implicate the innocent!"
Cui'e had no idea of the identities and origins of the group of mysterious people in front of her. She just subconsciously thought that these people should have a grudge with Han Zhengshan, and they suddenly came to seek revenge.But from the conversation between Lin Nan and Han Zhengshan just now, she didn't understand the real purpose of this group of people at all.
When Han Zhengshan heard Lin Nan's question from the side, he had already guessed a little bit of the other party's intention.Regardless of the identity of the other party, the purpose is obviously to find out what Cui'e knows about the fire at Tongsheng Wharf.And after the other party knows the secret, it is hard to say whether they will save the lives of the two of them.And Cui'e, a silly woman, obviously didn't realize the danger in this, and thought that as long as she told the truth, the other party would leave safely after listening.He wanted to stop him, but his mouth was blocked by the other party, and he could only whine, which could not affect the other party's interrogation of Cui'e at all.
Lin Nan asked: "So you have already told Butou Han all the news you know?"
Although Cui'e felt that the other party's focus seemed to be wrong, she subconsciously nodded her head in acknowledgment.
Lin Nan immediately ordered: "Get him to the next room first."
Immediately, someone picked up Han Zhengshan and dragged him out of the house.Lin Nan's move is also to prevent the two from colluding with each other. As long as they interrogate them separately, it is easy to know whether someone has lied.And this Cui'e's psychology is relatively fragile, which is obviously an excellent breakthrough.
"I heard that someone you know knows the inside story of the Tongsheng Wharf fire. I want to know who this person is and where I can find him." Lin Nan's voice was not harsh, but his tone was firm and irresistible.
Cui'e replied tremblingly: "This person is also one of the little girl's customers, his surname is Gu Minghui, and he works on the Tongsheng Wharf. As for where his home is, the little girl really doesn't know."
"Gu Hui?" Lin Nan felt that the name seemed to be a bit impressive, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had heard it, so he said immediately: "Go on, how did he tell you about the fire case?"
Cui'e said: "He came to Bichunyuan a few days ago, drank a lot of wine, and then he talked about the fire. He said that there were some problems with the Haihan goods that were moved from the ship to the warehouse that day, which seemed to be related to the fire. But he didn’t give details. Asked him why he didn’t report to the officials, but he just said he didn’t dare. The little girl thought that perhaps Han Butou could help him, so she informed Han Butou of the matter.”
Pan Yan, who had been listening quietly by the side without making a sound, finally couldn't help complaining when he heard this: "You are a good helper, you sold Gu Hui for 150 taels of silver!"
Cui'e's expression changed drastically when she heard this, she never imagined that a third party would know about the transaction negotiated between herself and Han Zhengshan, even the exact price, and judging from Han Zhengshan's performance just now, it was obviously not very Like he said it on his own initiative.
Lin Nan followed the conversation and said, "We know far more than you, so don't even try to hide anything from us. If what you say doesn't match what Han Butou said, tell that Gu Hui If there is a discrepancy in what I said, I'm sorry!"
Lin Nan coaxed and frightened, and finally completely defeated Cui'e's psychological defense, and wiped out all the information she knew.After the interrogation was over, they didn't even have time to rest. After Cui'e was detained, Han Zhengshan was quickly interrogated.Fortunately, it was still early in the morning when the curfew was lifted, and there was enough time to slowly process the interrogation of the two prisoners.
"Han Butou, your concubine has said everything that needs to be said, and I advise you not to hide anything, because if there is something wrong with what you said, then I can only take extreme measures Yes." Lin Nan warned Han Zhengshan first, and then asked: "I heard that the Tongsheng Wharf fire case has been closed for several days, why are you still investigating this case? Which adult gave you the order ? Who else is investigating with you? Tell me about the evidence you have in hand."

The carriage that Lin Nan was riding in slowly stopped half a street away from Han Zhengshan's residence, waiting for his subordinates who came on foot to slowly surround the target from different directions.Since it is not clear whether Han Zhengshan is using this to set up an ambush to lure himself into the bait, Lin Nan can only be more cautious and not let the other party succeed easily.If groups of suspicious people were found nearby, Lin Nan's subordinates would immediately disperse and give up this operation.
