"The reason why the village committee gave up the price is because the nearby mountains are really barren. They are all vacant land. They usually don't get a penny of income. It's better to rent it to Ding Yongtai and get some money at least.

.”

Hu Pingtao asked: "What about the rent? Ding Yongtai still paid for five years at once?"

Wang Yongxin nodded and said: "Yes."

Hu Pingtao took out cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to Wang Yongxin, then lit it for himself and smoked slowly.

There is no doubt that what Wang Yongxin said is weird.

In everything, one must first decide whether it is true or false.

This thing should be true.

If it weren't for the fact that Qiu Zhizhong was on the right side when it came to selling the house, Yang Jing was frightened by what he said, and she took the initiative to pay the agency fee that she wanted to avoid, so it would have been impossible for Wang Yongxin to have a good impression of her.

Isn't he just a suspicious customer who bought a piece of land in a remote and uninhabited mountain? These days, no one wants to take the initiative to get involved in right and wrong. If it was just a casual acquaintance, Wang Yongxin would not have bothered to come all the way to tell him this.

.

Next is the analysis of the problem.

Why did Ding Yongtai buy land in the mountains?

Buying land is actually normal, but the key is that the amount of investment is too large. Just a cement road connecting the inside and outside of the mountains is worth more than two million, so you can imagine the scale of the house he built in the mountains.

There are also no entry barriers around the site.

Thinking of this, Hu Pingtao subconsciously asked: "This Ding Yongtai you are talking about, after he bought the land, did he build a wall on the outside?"

Wang Yongxin said: "Some sections have brick walls, and the rest are barbed wire with barbs on them, making it difficult to climb in."

This is another lot of money.

After thinking for a few minutes, Hu Pingtao made a decision: "Let's do it! I'm on duty these days. After this period of time, if you take some time, you can take me to the scene to see it."

Wang Yongxin answered readily: "Okay, you can decide the time."

…

On the weekend morning two weeks later, Hu Pingtao made an appointment with Wang Yongxin and drove out of the provincial capital to Dongchuan.

Qiu Zhizhong borrowed the car through some connections - new or high-end cars are very conspicuous. Qiu Zhizhong had a friend who owned a car rental agency, and he helped Hu Pingtao get an old model "Santana".

It's not that Hu Pingtao is looking for trouble, but that he thinks what Wang Yongxin said is very strange. Anyway, Dongchuan is not far from the provincial capital, just over an hour's drive away. It's best to go and have a look. Of course, it's best if nothing happens. If there is any situation, report it.

Give it to the Criminal Police Team and hand it over to Wang Xiongjie.

The sky was overcast when I went out in the morning, and it started to rain halfway through. It wasn't heavy, a bit stronger than drizzle, but it kept raining like this, and the ground quickly became wet.

Entering Dongchuan, we soon arrived at the place Wang Yongxin was talking about. He guided Hu Pingtao to drive into the village committee, and then the two of them walked out and walked along the road for more than a kilometer. From a distance, they saw the right side of the road.

There is a fork on the side.

"It's right here." Wang Yongxin walked over and pouted at the concrete road: "Going further up, you will find Ding Yongtai's manor."

By this time, the rain had stopped. The badly damaged road was full of mud pits. In contrast, the newly built cement road was very conspicuous, looking smooth and comfortable.

Hu Pingtao was wearing casual clothes. He stood on the roadside and carefully observed the surrounding situation - although it was within the highway connection range, there was only the natural village where the car was parked in front. It took more than ten minutes to walk from the village committee.

Time, not a single car passed here.

It's really remote.

"In addition to this road, can we go up in any other direction?" Hu Pingtao raised his finger and pointed at the top of the mountain and asked seriously.

Wang Yongxin nodded and turned to the mountain ridge on the side: "You can only climb up from the dirt road. There is a road over there that leads to the back of the manor. But even if you go up, it is useless. It is blocked by walls and barbed wire, and you can't get in at all.

.”

Hu Pingtao thought about it and made a decision: "Let's go up and take a look first."

…

The road was indeed difficult to walk, and it was raining and slippery. Hu Pingtao fell twice and was covered in mud.

After more than two hours, I finally reached the top of the mountain. Looking down, I saw an open hillside. This place is very large and has sparse vegetation. In the middle is a newly built two-story building, which covers a large area and has a decorated exterior.

The grade is not high, just painted with dark yellow paint.

Wang Yongxin was about to walk down, but was grabbed by Hu Pingtao.

"Don't go there." Hu Pingtao was very cautious: "Just look here."

There are many shrubs in this area on the top of the mountain, and it is difficult to be noticed as long as you squat on the ground.

Hu Pingtao opened his backpack and took out a military high-power telescope.

Wang Yongxin is right. There are walls more than three meters high on the outside of the manor in the distance, as well as a circle of barbed wire. The brick walls are mainly concentrated near the gate, and the remaining barbed wire looks very strong. Directly upward

It is bent outward to form dense spikes. This method is to prevent theft. It is difficult for even monkeys to sneak in, let alone humans.

There are wooden signs hanging on the Internet wall, all of which contain warnings.

"Private property, no entry allowed."

"Trespassers will be severely punished and sent to the public security organs for justice."

"High voltage, no touching." Next to this warning slogan, there is also a striking skull pattern.

Hu Pingtao squatted in the bushes and watched for nearly twenty minutes.

Wang Yongxin lowered his voice and asked: "Brother Hu, do you see anything? I'm not lying to you! In such a remote and barren country, someone actually spent millions to build houses and build roads. This Ding Yongtai must have

The problem is either the sex trade or the casino."

Hu Pingtao put down the telescope and said while thinking: "It's not easy to draw a conclusion now... Look over there."

As he said that, he raised his finger and pointed at the gate in the distance directly opposite: "We made a big circle and climbed up from behind the mountain ridge. When we went down from here, it happened to be a slope. This is a terrain embraced by mountains, and only that

Bian is the closest exit to the outside."

"Look to the west. There is a side door there. It is obviously not wide enough for vehicles to enter and exit. There is no road in that direction. There are chains and locks hanging on the door." As he said that, Hu Pingtao handed the telescope in his hand to Wang Yongxin.

: "I guess that's the emergency exit. Also, there are pipes connected to the back of the bungalow next to it. I guess there may be water treatment facilities inside."

Wang Yongxin nodded while watching: "You are right. A few kilometers away there is a river and a Longtan (the pond is called Longtan in the local dialect)."

Hu Pingtao continued to analyze: "This place doesn't look right. The area of ​​​​the house is really too big. It covers an area of ​​more than 30 acres. If you just like to be quiet and build a small courtyard alone, there is no need to be so complicated.

.”

"If you look around the fence, it's all covered with stones and weeds. If you live here, you will definitely need to clean up the surrounding environment. Not only has there been no renovation, even the land inside the fence has not been repaired... Two hundred

The cement road worth tens of thousands of yuan and the wall cannot be built without hundreds of thousands of yuan. It makes sense to say that it is for transportation convenience and safety considerations. But too much money is spent on this aspect, which is a bit

You are totally in the wrong direction!"

Wang Yongxin participated in this kind of investigation for the first time, and he was a little excited: "Ding Yongtai must be engaged in illegal business."

Hu Pingtao continued to observe the situation in the distance: "Judging from the current situation, the possibility of what you said is very high. There have been similar cases before, because legal supervision has become more and more strict, and many places engaged in pornographic business

They have all changed places, moving from inside the city to outside the city. The same goes for the casinos, which are all located far away from the city."

Wang Yongxin clenched his fists hard. He was so excited that he couldn't control himself. Even his voice became trembling: "Then what are you waiting for? Brother Hu, please call someone quickly and arrest them."

These words made Hu Pingtao laugh: "I didn't see it! You have a sense of justice. But this matter is not as simple as you think. You need to observe more."

Wang Yongxin was a little anxious: "What are you still observing? If you strike first, you will gain advantage, but if you strike later, you will suffer disaster."

Hu Pingtao explained in a low voice: "Don't be busy, we don't have any evidence yet. Although Ding Yongtai's series of operations are very suspicious, all his current actions are legal. For the time being, we can only analyze them based on the doubtful points.

.”

As he spoke, he raised his finger and pointed at the cars parked inside the manor in the distance: "Did you see it? There is a carport over there, a temporary building covered with blue corrugated tiles. There are two cars parked inside, a Toyota

, a Wuling, both are family models.”

Wang Yongxin nodded confusedly: "I saw it, but... what does this have to do with the evidence?"

Hu Pingtao continued: "Since Ding Yongtai spent a lot of money to build that cement road, it means it must be for the convenience of travel. To come to this kind of place, you must have a car, walking is impossible."

"When a car comes, it needs a place to park, so it makes sense to build a carport."

"Look carefully, how big is that carport? How many cars can it accommodate?"

After hearing this, Wang Yongxin suddenly realized: "There are only four empty spaces in the carport."

Hu Pingtao laughed softly and said: "The design of a building and additional facilities can clearly reflect the user's intentions. There are only four empty seats. What does this mean?"

Wang Yongxin is very smart: "In other words, not many people usually come to this place?"

Hu Pingtao smiled and said: "Whether it is a pornographic business establishment or an underground casino, it needs enough passenger traffic to meet the profit conditions. I admit that Ding Yongtai is a rich man, otherwise he would not be able to spend so much money to buy land and build here.

Manor. Things flock together, and the people he knows will naturally not be short of money. But whether it’s women or gambling, they need to reach a certain amount to generate profits."

"Let's talk about the pornographic business first! The red cards can range from a few thousand to tens of thousands. If they are top-level cards, hundreds of thousands are not a problem. Assuming that Ding Yongtai is indeed making a living in this area,

It's definitely not enough to have just three or five customers coming and going every day. If he spends hundreds of millions, he will definitely not be able to recover his money in a short time. It will also attract the attention of caring people like you, which is basically a move.

Smashing one's own feet with a stone is not worth the gain."

"Let's talk about underground casinos. To play mahjong, you need four people to form a table, and to play cards, you need at least three. And gambling requires an atmosphere, especially in underground casinos of a certain level. You need to be accompanied by beautiful women to play mahjong.
