Section 256 Wood Carving Elephant(2/2)
The owner's face became a little ugly: "Well... no need! I filled out the form as required. I checked it just once when I weighed it. Why do I need to check it again now?"
Hu Pingtao smiled lightly and said: "The weighing is just weighing, and the previous inspections were just random inspections. They are different."
After a pause, he continued: "You said that the cars were all loaded with mahogany elephants. Do you dare to take responsibility for what you said?"
The owner of the cargo immediately fell silent. He hesitated for a long time and answered uncomfortably: "...even if it's not real mahogany, at least it's real wood carving."
The border inspection station has a complete set of inspection standards for different commodities. Especially when there was a problem with the car of macadamia nuts last time, the station director Zhang Guangbei made a special trip to the Provincial Academy of Sciences to find experts and scholars to correct some erroneous data.
Redwood is different from other woods. It has high density and heavy weight. Judging from the loading volume of this heavy truck, the scaled weight cannot correspond to the actual goods and must be rechecked.
The owner of the goods now told the truth - these wood carvings are not mahogany, but just ordinary materials.
Similar situations happen almost every day, mainly for tax evasion.
In today's situation where ordinary wood is disguised as mahogany, the opposite is true, in order to get the red stamp on the customs declaration form. This is equivalent to an endorsement from the government to a certain extent. The fake goods can be regarded as genuine.
Sell it for a higher price in the market.
The hood tarpaulin has been taken off, revealing crude crates. Through the gaps between the crate boards, you can see the hay stuffed inside.
Following Hu Pingtao's order, people moved several wooden boxes from the car, pried them open with special tools, and took out wooden elephants of different shapes.
The specifications vary from one meter to ten centimeters in height.
Hu Pingtao bent down and picked up a small wooden sculpture from the box, playing with it in his hand and looking at it carefully.
"You're pretty good at counterfeiting!" He deliberately teased the owner: "From color to gloss, it's no different from real mahogany. If you get away with it this time, there will be a price difference of at least 100,000 yuan."
The owner of the cargo didn't say anything, with a look of mourning on his face.
Hu Pingtao put the wooden sculpture on the ground and said to him seriously: "Fill in the form again. Also, you will be fined!"
The owner of the cargo looked resigned: "Okay! Okay! I accept the punishment."
Hu Pingtao looked at his face shrouded in sadness, raised his finger and pointed at the office diagonally opposite: "Go and pay over there."
The owner of the cargo said "hmm", turned around and walked over there.
"Wait!" Hu Pingtao stopped him: "I haven't finished speaking yet!"
The cargo owner turned around with a confused face: "What's wrong?"
Hu Pingtao seemingly accidentally dropped his right hand on his waist, and his fingers clasped the handle of the gun holster.
This is a fake action. If something unexpected happens, he can dig open the holster with his middle finger and pull out the gun at an extremely fast speed.
"I haven't said the amount of the fine yet!" Hu Pingtao showed a very proud smile on his face. He made no secret of his domineering and arrogance: "This kind of thing is of a bad nature. I will fine you 50,000 yuan, plus a second inspection fee."
Ten-fifteen thousand, which adds up to sixty-five thousand."
A hint of hatred flashed in the cargo owner's eyes, he nodded, turned around and left.
"stop!"
Hu Pingtao shouted at the other party again, and at the same time quickly drew his gun, grabbed the cargo owner from behind with standard grappling movements, pushed him to the ground, pressed his right leg and knee heavily, and pointed the pistol at his vest.
"Liu Yongshao, arrest him!" He took out handcuffs to control the struggling cargo owner, then turned around and ordered others to catch the driver.
"Let me go! Let me go quickly!" The pressure on his knees was so great that the cargo owner found it difficult to breathe. He raised his head desperately and begged for mercy: "I didn't do anything! I just paid the fine as you said, why?
Catch me?"
Hu Pingtao carefully checked the handcuffs holding the thumbs of the cargo owner's hands and made sure there were no problems. Then he stood up and easily lifted the cargo owner from the ground.
"What did you put in the elephant wood carving?" He stared at the disheveled cargo owner and asked seriously.
The owner of the cargo shivered under Hu Pingtao's sharp gaze. He shook his head in panic and denied: "It's nothing...it's really nothing...I, I don't understand what you are talking about."
Hu Pingtao was too lazy to talk nonsense to him. Almost all smugglers were like this when they were first caught. They would not admit anything and would not shed tears until they saw the coffin.
He threw the cargo owner to the police officers who came over and called to others: "Open the baffles on both sides of the truck and unload the cargo for inspection."
Hu Pingtao cannot read minds, but he has eyes.
The cargo owner behaved a little strangely.
