Chapter 57 Chapter 57

When the lights came on, the blue Mitsubishi jeep in which Lai Shuiqiang and his entourage were riding was "held hostage" by our investigators and drove into the temporary residence of the task force --- Xiamen Wanshou Hotel. Lai Shuiqiang was taken into the elevator and went upstairs. He was somewhat nervous and anxious: "My situation is complicated. I want to talk to the director of the special case team, not the local cadres." After entering the room, Gao gave Lai Shuiqiang a glass of water and asked him to sit down. "I am the director, my surname is Gao, director Gao." The tone was not high, and the attitude was calm.Lai Shuiqiang was enlightened by Gao, the task force was sent by the central government to handle the case according to the law, so don't worry about it, talk about the issue in a realistic manner, don't hide anything, don't give perjury.

At around 8 o'clock in the evening, Lai Shuiqiang began to explain the problem. From the end of 1996 to the beginning of 1997, Lai Shuiqiang, Zhuang Mingtian and others jointly raised more than 3 million yuan to buy a large number of smuggled cigarettes from Yuanhua Company, and then resold them to cigarette dealers in Nanjing, Shanghai and other places.The specific operation method is: according to the order quantity of the cargo owner, Lai Shuiqiang called Zeng Mingyu of Yuanhua Company in Hong Kong in advance, and Zeng deployed the "source of goods" to make overall arrangements for the import of containers.The two brothers Hou Xiaohu and Hou Zhanhu were responsible for the domestic support, and then Lai's nephew Chen Wenyuan and others were responsible for unloading the cabinets. They used Yuanhua company trailers to transport the smuggled cigarettes overnight to the parking lot of Lai Shuiqiang's home in Jinjiang. Finally, Lai Shuiqiang was responsible for wholesale. One container collected The "water fee" is about 18,000 yuan.

Lai Shuiqiang also confessed the criminal facts of his participation in the smuggling of more than 20 vehicles by Yuanhua Company and made considerable profits from it, and provided some important information. The conversation continued until 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, and more and more transcripts were written.The investigators brought Lai Shuiqiang a "night snack", but Lai Shuiqiang didn't eat it, saying that he had no appetite and couldn't eat.Sheng Chu, the leader of the interrogation team, came in and persuaded with a pleasant face: "Eat, don't ruin your body. Get a good night's sleep first, and we'll talk tomorrow."

These seemingly simple and ordinary actions left a deep imprint on Lai Shuiqiang.On the third day, that is, on the evening of the 20th, Liu Chu, the leader of the investigation team, came forward to "receive" Lai Shuiqiang, and he chatted with the old boss of the Lai family in a heart-to-heart manner.He said that your "Yuanhua" smuggling of refined oil alone cost tens of billions. This has destroyed many oil wells in the country and laid off a large number of workers. They went out to work here in order to survive.Some couldn't find a job, so the men would steal and rob; the women would sing and dance with them, or even sell themselves.Seeing these phenomena, if you still have a little conscience, don't you feel sad?And only those shameless smugglers and corrupt elements will accept escorts, pick up girls, and go whoring without blush!

These words, like hard gravel, hit Lai Shuiqiang's already restless heart lake, causing magnificent waves.Lai Shuiqiang stated repeatedly: "I listen to the government, explain everything, and strive for leniency." Liu Chu finally said: Now we not only want to save you, but also your family.Have you ever thought about it, your third brother A Xing dug a big grave for the family, let the family members jump into it one by one, you are the big brother, you have to find a way to rescue them one by one... What Liu Chu said made Lai Shuiqiang's blood rush straight to his forehead.Yes, nearly 20 relatives of his family in "Yuanhua", including his 3 children, have all run away now.

Lai Shuiqiang asked the special case personnel for paper and pens, wrote a profound ideological understanding --- "Smuggling harms the country, people, and oneself", and then handed it over to Liu.He lay on the bed, his thoughts were flying, tossing and turning, he just got up again, laid out paper and picked up a pen, and wrote a letter to the leader of the task force.He confessed to the special case team the internal management and operation of Yuanhua Group and the situation of some criminal suspects. He confessed the underground wholesale markets and sales networks set up in Nanjing, Shanghai and other places for large-scale cigarette smuggling, and confessed several companies in Jinjiang that were specially designed for Yuanhua. The "underground bank" that smuggled foreign exchange and laundered money confessed that Lai Changxing contacted him after he fled to ask him to mortgage the real estate and cash out the funds, and explained the current assets of Yuanhua Group and him, and handed over Lai Changxing's deposit when he left. The real estate procedures of the two villas in other places provided the Yuanhua Group's large number of car smuggling accounts and the roster of car owners who bought the smuggled cars...
