Does the Truth Matter?

Chapter 1191 Does the Truth Matter?

Lin Nan didn't have much scruples about Han Zhengshan's status as a captor. What he was worried about was that there were still high-level officials behind Han Zhengshan who refused to let go of the investigation of the fire case and ordered Han Zhengshan to do this kind of dirty work.Haihan invested a huge amount of manpower, material and financial resources to get the concession from the Zhejiang government. He will definitely not tolerate anyone destroying this hard-won achievement. It is important to investigate the insiders of the fire case, but Lin Nan thinks it is more important to find out who is behind the fire. Those in charge should cut off the source of the risk as soon as possible.

After hearing Lin Nan's question, Han Zhengshan suddenly realized the other party's identity.The only people who would care so much about the truth of the fire case, apart from the real culprit who would do everything possible to hinder the investigation of the case, were probably only Haihan people.Of course, he hasn't realized that the identities of the two actually overlap, and he thinks that Hai Han should also want to obtain key information, and then investigate the truth of the case by himself.However, he was not completely sure of the identity of the other party, and the actions of the other party after they appeared were obviously lacking in kindness. He was not sure what consequences his words would bring.

Han Zhengshan tried his best to keep his tone calm: "Your Excellency may have forgotten that I am the head arrester of the Hangzhou government. This case investigation is my responsibility. What's wrong with it? Although the superior has announced the closure of the case, the subordinate I thought there were still some details to be clarified, but I just got relevant news. No adult ordered it before, and no one is assisting me in investigating this matter at the moment."

"It seems that you are going to take care of the matter alone?" Lin Nan shook his head slightly and said, "Han Butou, when I talk to you carefully, you'd better answer my questions with the same attitude, don't think about it." Just play tricks with me, or you will be the one who suffers in the end."

Lin Nan didn't believe that what Han Zhengshan did was acting alone. With the social impact caused by the fire at Tongsheng Wharf and the agreement reached by the two parties later, the trend of the situation could no longer be reversed by personal power. Even if Han Zhengshan could investigate No matter what, with his influence, it is difficult to make much waves.From Lin Nan's point of view, if it wasn't for someone's instigation, unless there was some personal grievance between Han Zhengshan and Haihan that couldn't be resolved, it would push him to do this kind of thing.

Han Zhengshan was secretly shocked when he heard this. The other party's attitude clearly did not take his identity as a head-hunter seriously. It seemed that if he did not cooperate well, the other party seemed to use some means to make him suffer.But the problem is that what you say is true, but the other party refuses to believe it at all, which is very troublesome.

Han Zhengshan sighed and said: "One person does things and one person is responsible. What I say is the truth. If you don't believe it, there is nothing you can do about it."

Lin Nan was silent for a while, then changed the subject and asked, "Do you recognize the insider of the fire that Cui'e mentioned?"

Lin Nan had already asked Cui'e for the relevant information, and if Han Zhengshan was evasive and concealing something, he would be able to hear it immediately.

Han Zhengshan knew that Cui'e would definitely not be able to withstand the persecution of this group of people, and now that saving his life was the most important thing, and he was afraid that something would happen if he went around in circles with the other party, so he replied truthfully: "Cui'e said that person, I can confirm that Gu Hui It’s the labor manager at the Tongsheng Wharf, and I talked to him during the investigation, and it’s said that the three cargo ships from Haihan arrived at the port that day, and he took over the unloading business.”

Hearing what Han Zhengshan said, Lin Nan suddenly remembered who Gu Hui was.Although he will not come forward to deal with business affairs, Lin Si will regularly report the relevant situation to him, and most of Haihan's import and export trade in Hangzhou is delivered from Tongsheng Wharf, and he is responsible for undertaking the goods locally. It was Gu Hui who loaded and unloaded.

However, if Gu Hui's identity is only a dock foreman, then it is not worthy of Lin Nan's attention. The main reason why Gu Hui has been able to undertake Haihan's business is that his backer is Wang Yuan, the general judge of the Hangzhou government.It is because of this special relationship that Lin Nan can remember his existence.

But Wang Yuan and Haihan have a relatively deep cooperation, and can be regarded as one of Haihan's spokespersons for interests in Hangzhou official circles. How could he allow his subordinates to spread such unfavorable remarks for Haihan?Moreover, Han Zhengshan should also be under his jurisdiction. Could it be that Wang Yuan ordered him to investigate the truth of the case now?If Wang Yuan was really involved, then things would be more complicated, and it was also a situation that Lin Nan didn't want to see.

In order to buy Wang Yuan, Haihan did a lot of work in the early stage, and the economic price he paid was not small, in order to obtain a powerful umbrella in Hangzhou, but if something goes wrong in this link, then Haihan will Acting locally may cause a lot of trouble.If Lin Nan can't confirm this first, then it will be difficult to make corresponding arrangements for subsequent actions.

"If I remember correctly, this Gu Hui should work for your boss, Lord Wang, right?" Lin Nan decided to ask the question directly instead of going around in circles with Han Zhengshan: "Do you have Lord Wang's intention to investigate the fire case?" ?”

When Han Zhengshan saw Gu Hui's background clearly explained by the other party, he affirmed the other party's identity in his heart. Of course, he also knew that his immediate boss had some shady conflicts of interest with the Haihan people, but because the information they had was not symmetrical, Han Zhengshan Shan simply thought that the other party should be the same as himself, and wanted to investigate the truth of the fire.Little did they know that Lin Nan's actions were all for the opposite purpose, just to completely block the government's investigation.

"I have just said that this matter is just to fulfill my duties, and it is not an order from any adult." Han Zhengshan was not sure whether it was appropriate to forcibly pull the boss into the water, so he could only reply truthfully: "As for Gu Hui's words and deeds, I have not given orders before." I didn't know about it, and if Cui'e hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't know that he had concealed something when he was under investigation."

Lin Nan looked at his words and thought that it was unlikely that Han Zhengshan was lying, which also made him feel a little more relaxed.If Wang Yuan hadn't intervened in this matter, it would have been much easier to deal with, all he needed to do was to seal the mouths of these insiders.During the interrogation of Cui'e just now, he has basically been able to confirm that the only people involved in this matter are Cui'e, Han Zhengshan and Gu Hui. If it is verified by Han Zhengshan, then all he needs to do is to control Gu Hui. .

But because the matter was so involved, Lin Nan still didn't dare to be careless, and continued to interrogate Han Zhengshan by disrupting the questions he had asked, so as to see whether the other party had any inaccuracies in his previous confession.After cross-examination until the third watch, Lin Nan was roughly sure that the information he received should be basically true.Lin Nan checked the confession with another group of men who continued to interrogate Cui'e, and confirmed that the confessions of the two were also consistent, and then ordered the two to be temporarily separated and detained in two other rooms.

"It's really not easy to do what you do." Pan Yan sighed sincerely: "I've been asking this question for almost two hours, and I've been overwhelmed by what I've heard. Fortunately, you can still remember what they said."

Lin Nan smiled wryly and said, "I don't dare to slacken my responsibilities. Brother Pan should also know how much this matter has affected, and even the slightest mistake can't be tolerated."

Pan Yan nodded and said, "That's natural. If something goes wrong, everyone can't explain it to the chief. Then how many people are involved in this matter and how to deal with it?"

Lin Nan said solemnly: "They know too much, and it will be a hidden danger after all to stay."

"Then... are you trying to silence them?" Pan Yan asked tentatively.

Lin Nan shook his head and said: "To kill people here, you will inevitably have to deal with the corpses and clean up the scene. If you don't clean it up, there will be new hidden dangers. I plan to bring people back to Zhoushan and let the chief decide how to deal with them .”

Pan Yan said: "Get these two people out of the city at dawn? Is this easy to handle?"

Lin Nan replied: "It's not difficult. There are people from Wangjiang Gate in the east of the city, and they can leave the city directly as soon as the gate opens. The one who is a little troublesome is that Gu Hui. It may not be so easy to kidnap people during the daytime." .”

Pan Yan came up with an idea: "Then can Lin Si send someone to lure Gu Hui out and go to a secluded place before attacking? He has business dealings with Gu Hui, so it should be easy."

Lin Nan thought for a while, but shook his head and rejected his suggestion: "If Lin Si wants to stay in Hangzhou City, it's better not to involve him. I think it's better to borrow Han Zhengshan's name and find someone to pretend to be a policeman to find him." Lead him out."

Pan Yan praised: "Brother Lin's clever plan, this way there will be no future troubles to speak of."

Everyone had been busy working in the middle of the night, and they were all hungry at this point. Lin Nan asked his men to search in the kitchen, but they only found a few cold steamed buns.It was late at night, and there was a curfew outside, so it was impossible to go out to find food.Fortunately, there was rice in the rice jar, so I lit the fire and cooked rice right away. I picked up two big bowls of green vegetables from the kimchi jar and cut them up, so I could make do with it.

After a group of people finished supper, Lin Nan also specially ordered his men to go down and clean up the kitchen without leaving obvious traces.At this time, someone came to report, and Han Zhengshan asked to meet and talk with him again.Lin Nan originally thought that the overall situation was settled, and there was no need to waste saliva with him, but after thinking about it, if Han Zhengshan had something to explain, he could listen to it again, so he immediately changed his mind and asked his subordinates to deal with it. He brought it over.

During the time Han Zhengshan was sent out to be held alone, he probably figured it out. After seeing Lin Nan, he took the initiative to ask: "Open the skylight and tell the truth, are you from Haihan?"

Lin Nan replied calmly: "So what if it is, so what if it's not?"

Han Zhengshan said: "Since your Excellency doesn't deny it, then it's up to you. If you want to investigate the truth of the fire, I can also help you. Why do you need to make it into the current situation?"

Lin Nandao: "The truth? What kind of truth do you want? The Zhejiang government and Haihan both got the results they wanted. Is the truth of the fire still important? If you really find out a different truth, then the two sides Wouldn't the agreement become a piece of waste paper, and the Zhejiang officialdom will be slapped in the face from the chief envoy down. If the trading rights are cancelled, Haihan's interests will also be greatly damaged. Compared with the three ships that were burned I don’t know how many times more ships. As you said before, you decided to pursue this case yourself, but when you made your decision, did you ever think about the consequences?”

These days, Han Zhengshan's mind is full of how to investigate the fire case. Even though the two parties reached a settlement after a series of contacts and settled the dispute of the fire case through an agreement, he has never given up on continuing to investigate the truth of the case.But after hearing Lin Nan's words, he realized that perhaps the parties concerned did not have such urgent expectations for the truth of the fire case, and the investigation of the case may be just his own wishful thinking.

After realizing this, Han Zhengshan suddenly felt that certain beliefs in his heart were slowly collapsing. It turns out that what he insisted on may be worthless in the eyes of others, or even exist like a stumbling block.The purpose of the other party's coming here is not to investigate the so-called "truth", but to stop his ignorant actions.

But Han Zhengshan still felt a little reconciled, and continued to ask Lin Nan: "Then so many people were burned to death in this fire, are you indifferent to it? That is more than 20 lives! Don't you want them to be wronged?" Xue, let the murderer be brought to justice?"

Lin Nan would not explain to him that the truth of the fire was that Haihan collected more than 20 corpses in advance to set up the so-called murder scene. Since Han Zhengshan thinks that Haihan is one of the victims, let him continue to maintain this illusion. up.However, for Han Zhengshan's persistence out of professionalism and morality, Lin Nan felt that he should give him some affirmation.

"Skynet is so thorough that it doesn't miss out. The real culprit of this case, of course, has its time to come to justice, but this matter should not be done by you. Han Baotou, although you are doing your duty, I'm sorry , you are indeed meddling in something you shouldn't be meddling in. If you have nothing else to say, let's stop talking here!"

Lin Nan made a gesture, and immediately two subordinates came over to escort Han Zhengshan out.Han Zhengshan hurriedly asked: "Are you going to silence my subordinates for this?"

"If you're honest, we won't kill you." Lin Nan paused and said, "But you know too much, we can't let you stay in Hangzhou City any longer."

"You... how dare you kidnap someone from the Gongmen!" Han Zhengshan was already a little stern at this time, and he also knew that the group in front of him was definitely not a kind person.But if he was really kidnapped out of Hangzhou City, his chances of surviving would be very slim.

"Han Butou, we don't accept any form of threat, let alone you only stay at the level of words." Lin Nan stopped here, quietly listening to the drumming sound from a distance, and then continued: "The city gate will open in an hour. I suggest you hurry up and recharge your spirits, because you will have to spend the next day or two on the boat. Believe me, you have to hang around in the cabin mezzanine for so long , is definitely not a comfortable thing.”
