Chapter 559 - 509
Yin, the brigade commander, and Yu Wenshu among others all nodded frequently.
For them, understanding the overall picture of the case was very important. Going into specifics, such as the arrest of a particular suspect, was not something they needed to arrange.
Yin spoke slowly, "So, the core manager of the Jianyuan Drug Trafficking Ring is also Yuan Jiansheng, who gradually pulled his company’s management team, including his children, into becoming the management of the drug ring?"
Liu Jinghui shook his head slightly and said, "As for who exactly is involved, we’re still not very clear, but Jianyuan actually split into two teams a long time ago. One team is made up of Yuan Jiansheng’s old buddies, roughly dozens of people, with the most core group being about thirty to forty individuals. They guard the old chemical factory, mainly the management team of Jianyuan Pharmaceutical Chemical Co., Ltd. Most of Jianyuan Group’s work is being done by some hired professional managers. Outsiders praise Yuan Jiansheng for not abandoning his old partners while maintaining the vitality of the company..."
"Looking at it now, their chemical factory operates on a razor-thin margin, and it’s always on the brink of loss. Only through illegal manufacturing can they turn a profit. So this group of people has also reached this point step by step. They don’t want to go bankrupt, so they turn to drugs?" Yu Wenshu frowned deeply as he listened.
"Then they are just too greedy," Jin, the deputy brigade commander with some understanding of the matter, said, "Chemical factories naturally operate on low profits, and it’s the larger-scale chemical factories that generate more profit. Small chemical plants are inherently difficult to survive. Jianyuan made themselves a fancy factory area and built mansions; the executives live lavishly, frequently going on high-standard team-building trips. It’s normal for them to be running at a loss."
Yin added, "Not even a state-owned chemical plant would dare to do this. Moreover, the money they make from drug trafficking can now support the company’s growth into a publicly traded entity..."
Liu Jinghui didn’t want the conversation to go off track, so he said, "The United States doesn’t produce its own drugs but imports goods from all over the world for consumption, and drugs are no exception. Yuan Jiansheng probably discovered this shortcut while doing import and export business. He thought he could make quick money, but didn’t expect that once they tasted the sweetness of honey, Jianyuan could never detach from it again."
At this point, Liu Jinghui paused, then continued, "The current issue is that we’ve identified some core members of the Jianyuan Drug Trafficking Ring, with six confirmed, and more than fifty others under suspicion, but we still lack definitive evidence. Do we carry out the arrests now?"
"If we arrest them, can we find enough physical evidence to prosecute them without relying on confessions?" Yin asked very professionally.
Liu Jinghui pondered, "There’s no guarantee of that."
