Chapter 66 Waves of Attacks

 

Noon.

 

Inside the interrogation room of the Inspection Bureau, although Tang Baiqing was not handcuffed or locked in an iron cage, all his personal belongings such as his cell phone and ID had been confiscated. The interrogators had also set up two sets of law enforcement cameras in the room and strictly followed the questioning regulations, dispatching a recorder, a primary interrogator, and a supervising interrogator to question Tang Baiqing.

 

The atmosphere was very formal, similar to what officials who had fallen from grace had faced before being detained.

 

At the moment, Tang Baiqing couldn't help feeling nervous, despite his best efforts to remain calm.

 

In the dimly lit interrogation room, the primary interrogator looked at Tang Baiqing with an expressionless face and said, "From now on, I will ask you a question, and you will answer it directly. You cannot evade the question or offer any explanations. Do you understand?"

 

"I understand," Tang Baiqing nodded.

 

"On the day of the incident, what time did you enter the harbor?" the interrogator asked.

 

"According to regulations, I entered the harbor at four-thirty in the afternoon."

 

"Okay. After you entered the harbor, what time did you board the patrol boat of the maritime police?"

 

"It was around eight o'clock in the evening. After the person who was on duty before me returned, my teammates and I boarded the patrol boat," Tang Baiqing replied, his forehead sweating.

 

"I have looked at your internal shift schedule. On the day of the incident, the captain who was originally on duty was Huang Zhicheng. Why did he switch shifts with you? Did you suggest it, or did he suggest it?" the interrogator continued to ask.

 

Tang Baiqing hesitated for a moment before answering, "I suggested it because I had something to do that day and wanted to switch shifts for a day."

 

"You and the rest of your team have undergone a rotation, which means that all the other coast guard officers in your team, except for you, have also been reassigned," the interrogator frowned and continued, "Do you have something going on today? And do all members of your team have something going on as well?"

 

Tang Baiqing clenched his fists and said, "Coast guard patrols require very detailed zoning. Old Huang's team and my team are not familiar with each other and have no cooperation. That's why we did the team rotation. It's easier for work, and it's not uncommon in the coast guard department."

 

"Are you sure you didn't intentionally reassign your team for some other purpose?" the interrogator asked.

 

"No, I did not," Tang Baiqing replied firmly.

 

"Why did you repeatedly avoid the fourth patrol area in your patrol zone? Did you not notice a visible smuggling boat entering the harbor from the front? How did you divide your patrol area? Did you consider that your patrol plan had loopholes?" The interrogator pressed him relentlessly.

 

Tang Baiqing was mentally prepared before coming in, but facing the interrogator's constant questioning, he was a little flustered.

 

Even the best lie has loopholes, let alone facing professional investigators. These people may have even dealt with high-ranking officials and detectives, so how could Tang Baiqing be their match?

 

After more than 20 minutes of interrogation, Tang Baiqing was sweating through his clothes.

 

—---

 

At around three in the afternoon, Tang Baiqing was temporarily released by the investigative department, but they made him sign a notice prohibiting him from leaving Dragon City and requiring him to be available for questioning at any time.

 

After leaving the investigative office, Tang Baiqing immediately returned to his unit and found his coast guard squadron leader.

 

In the office, Tang Baiqing closed the door and whispered to the bald squadron leader, "Damn it, the investigative department dragged me in for questioning and made me sign a notice that I can't leave Dragon City for a while. Old Wang, I think this is a big deal."

 

The squadron leader glanced at him, his face dark and silent.

 

"My idea is this: can't we pin the blame on the Ma Gang and make them take responsibility for the stolen gold bricks on the ship, claiming it was another group of criminals who did it? This is called shifting the blame and we can make them admit to smuggling only regular goods," Tang Baiqing asked.

 

"Are you out of your mind?" The squad leader frowned and replied, "How could the criminals transport nearly 400 kilograms of gold bricks to the fishing boat in just a few minutes? And what about the fingerprints? If there's any video evidence on the scene, once they release it, the maritime police will be exposed, and the situation will become even worse!"

After deliberating for a while, Tang Baiqing impatiently continued, "Okay, how about this: I'll call the Ma Gang and ask them to scapegoat Feng Hai, claiming he colluded with some of our maritime police officers to conduct smuggling activities in secret. This way, we'll be taken out of the picture and the case will end with them."

 

"Are you still thinking about getting yourself out of trouble?" The squad leader asked incredulously.

 

"What else can I do?" Tang Baiqing retorted.

 

The squad leader stood up, gritted his teeth, and took out two suspension and investigation notices from his desk, shoving them into Tang Baiqing's arms, shouting, "Are you dreaming that you won't be implicated? Damn it, both you and I have to come forward and take responsibility. Do you understand?"

 

Tang Baiqing looked down and saw the two notices in his hands, one ordering him and the squad leader to be suspended and investigated, directly issued by the maritime police department.

 

"What does this mean?" Tang Baiqing was confused.

 

"Forget about whether you colluded with the Ma Gang to smuggle and trade illegal goods, the smuggling ship blatantly entered the inner port and charged into the entrance inland. You and I both have an inescapable suspicion of neglecting our duty! What are you doing here? You're a maritime police officer! When a ship comes in, you didn't even react, can you justify that?" The squad leader yelled, "Nearly 400 kilograms of gold bricks, this is a huge deal! If your father were in trouble, you wouldn't let it happen, would you?"

 

Tang Baiqing gazed at the notice that suspended him from duty, his mind and blood surging as his negative emotions climbed higher and higher. Ever since the accident that resulted in the death of that woman, he had not experienced anything that went his way!

Inside the main hall of the Ma Gang stronghold in Longkou.

 

Wei Xiangzuo sat next to an elderly man who was nearing sixty years of age, bowing his head and not saying a word.

 

Xu Hu walked in from outside, first offering incense in front of the statue of Guan Yu before respectfully addressing the old man, "Master!"

 

"I brought in three hundred kilograms of goods, so why did they find nearly four hundred kilograms in the end?" the old man interjected.

 

Xu Hu bowed his head and was momentarily silent.

It was just after eight o'clock in the evening on Guangji Island, with a gentle breeze blowing and the stars shining brightly.

 

A group of young people gathered around a campfire, sitting on cushions and engaged in a celebratory activity.

 

"I was the last one to climb the mountain today, so I don't have much to say," Bai Hongbo, who had been drinking quite a bit, held a microphone connected to a computer and waved his hand, saying, "Let me sing you all a song!"

 

"Stupid as a pig!" Wawa pouted and cursed in extreme frustration, "Everyone else had already made it up the mountain, but the two of us just got to the foot of the mountain."

 

"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Miss Wawa to dance!" Su Tianyu started shouting and cheering.

 

Wawa reluctantly stood up, took out a pipe from her small box, adjusted her mood immediately, stood beside Bai Hongbo, and said, "I dance like a typical person, forget it, I'll play the pipe for you all instead."

 

"..." Bai Hongbo heard this and became a little jealous, "Personally, I suggest that you give me a solo performance later in the evening."

 

"Get the hell out of here!" Wawa cursed, waving her little hand and shouting, "Let's get this party started, brothers and sisters!"

At a certain location in District One, two off-road vehicles with Warhammer logos passed through the checkpoint and immediately headed toward Dragon City.

 

Inside the car, a black brother frowned and cursed, "The Ma Gang are a bunch of idiots, we could have used a nuclear aircraft carrier to escort them... but the goods still went wrong... I just can't understand it."
