Shen Hao didn't expect that Wang Jian would actually sort out some new things in the Xu family's business. But it sounds a little unreliable.
"Are you sure this is a pill business? Where can the Xu family get pills that can be sold to outsiders? Are they all medium to high quality?"
"Yes, sir, I am sure."
"Tell me carefully!" Shen Hao opened the document handed over by Wang Jian, looked at the catalog and turned back to the part involving the elixirs, while asking Wang Jian to continue the introduction.
"Sir, although there is indeed no category of "Elixir" in the Xu family's accounts, they use medicinal materials instead. But the accounts they made are obviously hidden, and the profits from the incoming and outgoing are obviously much greater than those from the normal trading of medicinal materials. Profit ratio. At first we suspected that it might involve disguised bribery, so we followed the Xu family’s accounts to investigate, and found that the transaction details in the accounts were all fake.”
"False? They all falsified their own accounts?"
"It must be to deceive others. If we didn't have a large number of documents and records for reference, we wouldn't be able to figure out the clues from the trading profits of these "medicinal materials" so easily. If someone else had checked, they would have been fooled."
Shen Hao said "Hello" with satisfaction. It seems that Wang Jian did not turn a deaf ear to his previous words and has already begun to taste the sweetness of "big data".
Wang Jian continued to help Shen Hao figure out the context, and said: "After discovering that there was a problem, we continued to follow the specific flow of banknotes in the accounts. After checking with the bank, we found that the Xu family's business in this area was all the kind of random people who did not raise their heads. The banknotes are not the large-denomination banknotes usually used for large transactions. This is even more strange. Why are you so careful in your transactions and only use loose banknotes? Is this because you are worried about being traced back to the source of the banknotes?
Others might not be able to do anything about it, but we in the Black Flag Camp are very familiar with this method of using scattered banknotes to smuggle goods. The transactions over Feilong are now beginning to show signs of recovery, and 90% of the money in them has been lost. It's this kind of broken banknote.
So we concluded at that time that what the Xu family hid in their accounts was probably a black market business. "
Shen Hao also happened to see this part of the document.
"So I asked Feilong to help me check, and found that the so-called "medicinal materials" in the Xu family's accounts were actually elixirs. There were a lot of them, and they were all medium to high grade. It was very strange."
"Feilong found out? How did he find out? Can he reach beyond the land of Jingxi now?"
"Speaking to the adults, we can roughly estimate it based on the amount of money in and out of the Xu family's accounts and the time of the transaction. Feilong can then find someone familiar to check the recent transactions and it will be confirmed. Moreover, the Department of Impermanence has already followed Feilong's instructions. The information has been sorted out and confirmed to be correct, it is the Xu family. As for how I got the connection, my subordinates haven’t had time to ask."
Shen Hao then scrolled down and found that the Xu family had quite a lot of pills from the black market. From the beginning of this year to the end of June alone, a total of thirty-one pills had been shipped, including twenty-nine of the middle-grade pills. , two high-quality ones. However, there are very few elixirs in the Qi auxiliary category, and they are basically healing elixirs.
Even if it's not the most sought-after type of elixir, the quantity is still astonishing.
"Have you found out where these pills come from?"
"I don't know. I just know that the person who helps the Xu family go through black market channels is an intermediary named Wang Wu. This guy is now being targeted by people from the Impermanence Department. They want to get a feel for him before taking him down."
Because he has been writing the case files for the past two days, Shen Hao is well aware of the progress and gains of each stage of the "Ma San Case". He has done some sorting on his own, and now the information Wang Jianxin has handed over makes him unable to He consciously thought of some previous speculations about this case.
"Do you still remember that when you arrested Ma Sankui before, you found a lot of pills in his storage bag?"
"My subordinates remember that Ma Sankui confessed that those pills were given to him by the sect behind him." As he spoke, Wang Jian's eyes lit up and he said anxiously: "Sir, do you think the pills sold by the Xu family are From the pseudo-evil cultivating sect behind Ma Sankui?"
Shen Hao snorted and continued: "Ma Sankui doesn't know what the sect behind him is doing with the barbarians and Xu Hong. He is just a pawn, but if we compare Ma Sankui's confession and the current Xu family's If you connect these strange things, you might be able to come up with something different.
For example, Ma Sankui said before that the money for purchasing goods was provided by the barbarians, and they were all banknotes from the Jingji Dynasty Bank. Is it possible that these banknotes were actually exchanged for medicinal materials by the barbarians from the Xu family? Some special varieties of these medicinal materials were paid to the sect behind Ma Sankui as a reward. And at the same time, the sect behind Ma Sankui is doing elixir business with the Xu family? "
Logically, it is not impossible, because elixirs are consumables, so if you take one, you will lose one, and alchemists are an extremely rare profession. In particular, high-level alchemists are controlled by major sects. Ordinary monks In addition to buying elixirs at the auction house at a bloody price like cutting meat, they can only enjoy the quotas allocated by the country according to their positions and titles like the Xuanqing Guards or the military.
The elixirs distributed are far from enough. Not everyone has a black beast tattoo like Shen Hao, which can help him find another way to obtain the energy for practice. Moreover, the higher the cultivation level, the greater the demand for elixirs. Taking into account the existence of drug resistance, the consumption of elixirs is even more frightening.
The Xu family had the motive to obtain more elixirs, not only for their own use, but also for selling them on the black market at a huge profit. The supply simply exceeded the demand.
"When you go down later, you can find Ma Sankui to check the situation again. Then the black market middleman who helps the Xu family with distribution will also continue to keep an eye on him. Don't panic. Make sure that there are no other connections with that person before you arrest him."
"My subordinate understands."
"Also, um, you should find a way to cover up the matters involving pills in the Xu family's accounts. No clues will appear in our internal affairs or in the evidence in future files. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Ah? This subordinate understands. After returning this time, I will ask the people below to handle the account books to ensure that no one will find out the clues."
"That's good. Just step back and hold on tight."
"Okay, sir, I'll take my leave now." Wang Jian bowed and left. He didn't know why Shen Hao wanted to hide this part of the case, but he chose to "don't ask about things that shouldn't be asked". Master Shen would definitely tell him what he should know.
Wang Jian left. Shen Hao continued to write and compile the dossier. It wasn't until evening that he finished cataloging the "Ma San Case" files. He read them through again and then put them away. But it does not contain the part about the "elixir" that Wang Jian brought at noon today.
