Chapter 683: Hallucination
2 days later.
North Victoria, Gusha City.
After two days of driving in this vintage car, Xia Feng and Vena spent two days and one night to reach this medium-sized city in the northern hinterland.
The city of Gusha is less than 10 kilometers away from the city of Gudong, where the Kron family was located before its demise.
And the reason why Xia Feng and Vena came to this Gusha City was just to find someone.
....
Sislo. Gul.
This person is not a nobleman, but in a certain circle, his reputation is even more "household name" than that of a first-level nobleman.
Sislo Chamber of Commerce is a medium-sized trading house in Gusha City, mainly selling all kinds of exquisite jewelry and high-end cosmetics, and is famous in the high society circle of Gusha City.
However, according to the information gathered by Vina, in addition to selling luxury goods such as perfumes, the Sisloh Chamber of Commerce is also secretly selling a special thing.
This is a blended and formulated plant powder.
Ordinary people inhale it, which will produce a strong numbness and hallucinogenic feeling, and at the same time, this strange pleasure is very easy to make people dependent, which is commonly known as addiction.
It is not difficult to understand what kind of mixed powder belongs to Xia Feng, and the preparation and sale of such things are expressly prohibited under Victorian law.
However, this [Siathrow Chamber of Commerce] has been secretly selling, and the owner of the [Siathrow Chamber of Commerce] is the aforementioned Sislo. Gul.
In this circle, he was called Mr. Gul.
This addictive thing is called "hallucinogenic powder" by insiders, which not only makes people dependent, but also makes the body weaken quickly if inhaled for a long time, turning it into the waste of the walking dead.
Therefore, despite the explosion of profits, the Glasgow Gang and Black Feather have never touched this contraband that harms people and the country.
Of course, the purpose of Xia Feng and Vena's trip is not to eliminate harm to the people.
....
On the outskirts of Gusha City, in an old-fashioned hotel.
There was no heating in the room, only a small stove was lit in the middle.
Vina placed the information she had found on the table, and placed a wine glass next to her.
"According to Morgan's information, Gul himself disappeared two months ago, three days after the Krone family was destroyed, to be exact."
Xia Feng sat on the wooden chair by the window, his face puzzled.
"Why is this Gul missing? This matter should have nothing to do with him. ”
Vina picked up her glass and took a sip.
"It doesn't matter, but the reason why we know it's okay is because we did it, but others don't think so, especially those who have ghosts in their hearts."
"What do you mean, Vina?"
Vina put down her glass and flipped to the second page.
"The city of Gudong, where the Krone family is located, is only less than 10 kilometers away, which is basically a conjoined city, and the Krone family operates the largest textile factory in Gudong City, as we all know, textiles are not a profiteering industry, especially grey fabric, I have investigated before, in order to maintain production profits, the royal family will also subsidize the Crown family to a certain extent every year."
"And then?"
Vina side-by-side her profile with the OIO's investigation report and said in a deep voice.
"But according to the findings of the Ombudsman's Office, the Krona family's private fortune has exceeded 1 billion, which is enough for the profits of their textile mill for 100 years."
Speaking of which, combined with Vena's previous foreshadowing, Xia Feng seemed to understand the doorway.
"Vina, you mean?"
"That's right."
Vina said confidently as she filled her glass.
"There are no resources around Gudong City that can be used, and if the Krone family wants to quickly obtain such a huge wealth, the only way to cooperate with the Sislo Chamber of Commerce is to use the privileges of the nobility to hide people's eyes and ears and sell hallucinogenic powder, which explains why after the Krone family was destroyed, the boss of the Sislot Chamber of Commerce suddenly disappeared."
"He thought it was business exposure, so he ran away in fright!"
"That's right."
Xia Feng understood Vena's intentions, and it was obvious that the most suitable candidate for the "murderer" had been found.
...
Formulating and selling "hallucinogenic powder" is a capital offense, even for old fritters like Gul.
So, Gul had a reason to run away for fear of the matter being exposed, because the dead were nobles.
Then, in this case, Gul naturally has enough reasons to destroy the Krone family for fear of exposing the matter.
As long as the sin is committed, this kind of thing is not clear.
It doesn't matter if Gul doesn't admit it then, Vina has evidence that he cooperated with the Krone family to sell hallucinogenic powder, so no matter what, he has this black cauldron on his back.
....
Now that Gul has disappeared, the Sislot Chamber of Commerce has not closed, that is to say, Gul should have left without covering up, just hiding.
Xia Feng remembered that when the young official of the Supervision Office gave him an investigation report, he made it clear that there was no suspicion among the people who had frequent contact before the collapse of the Krone family, but this statement was perfectly contrary to the results of Vina's investigation.
With the capacity of the OIOS, this should not be difficult to find.
Therefore, Xia Feng speculated that someone in the Supervision Department was also involved in the "hallucinogenic powder" business, which was the only possibility.
This matter should have nothing to do with Inspector General Capewamy, and with the status and wealth of the Capetian family, they should disdain to engage in such harmful things.
But thinking of this, Xia Feng seemed to understand why Capewamy insisted on engaging him, and the entire Supervision Office vigorously cooperated.
It is one thing to be concerned about Capewamy's identity as inspector general, but the more important reason is that as long as the Krone family destruction case is held on his head, the "hallucinogenic powder" matter will not be exposed.
It seems that not only those big people who cover the sky with one hand, but also the middle level of the country has begun to decay from the inside.
....
Evening.
Xia Feng wore a peaked hat and walked into a branch of a chamber of commerce on the outskirts of the city, and the signboard at the door was [Sisloh Chamber of Commerce].
The store is mainly retail, and although it has a sign of the Chamber of Commerce, it is actually a luxury store.
After Xia Feng walked in, a dazzling array of accessories and high-end perfumes came into view, and when he walked to the counter, he put his arm on the countertop.
"Boss, a bottle of perfume."
The middle-aged man behind the counter raised his head and looked Xia Feng's outfit up and down.
"What price do you want?" Is it a giveaway? ”
"It's a giveaway, women around 20 years old, the price is not a problem, the taste is not too strong, it's good to be low-key and simple."
The boss chuckled, in his opinion, Xia Feng's dress did not look like a rich man.
"Brother, the perfume in my store may be more expensive than you think, of course, I don't mean to look down on you, I'm afraid that everyone will be embarrassed."
Xia Feng smiled innocently, and then took out his wallet.
"It doesn't matter, chasing girls, you always have to be willing to spend money, you can't make people feel stingy."
"Heh, that makes sense."
Then, according to Xia Feng's request just now, the boss put a bottle of delicate pale yellow perfume on the counter.
"Brother, the name of this bottle of perfume is Black Ghost, it belongs to the neutral fragrance, and there are several expensive spices in the raw materials, a little dark, a little intoxicating."
Xia Feng nodded.
"Good name, how much?"
“9800。”
