Chapter 711: Li Qiao Defends Her Own
At that moment, Captain Qin, standing in front of the audience, pointed at the slide and spoke in an official tone, "The serial numbers of all firearms found in Paibo Manor have been categorized and matched. We can confirm that the source of these firearms is the Parma Armament Factory."
Director Ho from the Customs Enforcement, looking at the screen with a smirk, said, "The armament factory, which is subordinate to the Tribal Chief’s Council, and whose weapons are exclusively for use by the Parma Military, how could the Young Master of the Shang Family have possession of the factory’s weapons in his home? Surely they can’t have been stolen."
He was over thirty-five years old, with a square facial structure, exuding a sense of resolute determination, and his uniform made him appear imposing and majestic.
His words drew the attention of everyone present.
Director Ho stroked his thick eyebrows, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth as he flipped through the dossier, "Why are you looking at me? These past few days, the Customs Enforcement has found quite a bit of evidence of smuggling in the Yan Emperor Subsidiary, not to mention tax evasion and illegal firearms possession. With so many charges combined, to say there’s no one covering for him, gentlemen... do you believe that?"
The others remained silent, each preoccupied with their own thoughts.
Director Ho, backed by the Ho Family, could be considered a legitimate political aristocrat.
His open questioning of the Tribal Chief’s Council may have been because he was privy to some insider information.
Although He Bonan had stepped down for many years, his influence still remained.
Within the Tribal Chief’s Council, there were still many officials whom he had personally appointed to key positions, and besides, Director Ho was He Bonan’s own son and had secured the high-ranking position of Deputy Director of the Customs Enforcement at a young age.
Clutching his laser pointer, Captain Qin looked at Director Ho with a retort, "The Tribal Chief’s Council has always been impartial, and not just anyone can enter the Parma Armament Factory. At the moment, the key is not to question authority but to clarify why Shaoyan has so many firearms in his possession."
