The crackdown on organized crime began with the arrest of the mother-in-law.

Chapter 516 Arresting Zhang Xiaohu, the Operation Begins

On the other hand, Zhang Xiaohu knew who was backing him, which explained why Aijia Supermarket had been able to wield such influence in Linzhou City and essentially monopolize the entire agricultural product market over the years.

The relevant administrative departments under its jurisdiction, including the industry and commerce bureau, tax bureau, fire department, and even the local police station, have all been taken care of.

Just yesterday, Zhang Xiaohu was having dinner with several related people. It's fair to say that in their eyes, everything at Aijia Farmers Market is a breeze.

After all, it's not common for a farmers' market to give them several thousand or tens of thousands of yuan in extra income every month.

Things are different these days. It's not so easy to get involved in many things anymore. So as long as you operate in a regulated manner, there won't be any major problems in the vast majority of cases. Even if an inspection comes and you get a fine, you can just deal with it casually.

There are very few places like the Youhao Road Farmers Market that are so sensible as to still make offerings.

Therefore, even if they receive complaints about meat at the Youhao Road Farmers Market, they usually just give a few words of reprimand and then suppress the matter, and the symbolic fine is then paid off.

As for these people who are professional veterinarians, how could they know that nothing was wrong? If nothing was wrong, why would they make offerings to them?

Although each of these people doesn't earn much, averaging only around 1 yuan a month, there are many departments involved, and everyone in each department needs to be bribed. From top to bottom, it takes at least tens of thousands of yuan.

How many departments are there in total?

Urban management, sanitation, public security, taxation, etc.

If you were to list all these departments one by one, it would take more than an A4 sheet of paper to fit them all, and the total would amount to nearly a million.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaohu believed that having a good road farmers' market was absolutely foolproof, and no one would be able to find it. Even if someone did check, it would just be a formality after making prior arrangements.

Moreover, only those involved know about what they are doing; the average person has no idea what kind of shady dealings are involved.

But what Zhang Xiaohu didn't expect today was that those who arrested them were fully armed police officers, each carrying a gun. Growing up in the era of mass mobilization, they had never seen such a scene before. The migrant workers immediately lay down on the ground, or rather, collapsed to the ground.

The armed police don't arrest people like the public security bureau does, where they ask your name. Once they get the order, they aim at the target and just grab them. If anyone dares to resist, I'm telling you, they'll hit them with a rifle butt.

All forty-odd people were successfully apprehended under Qin Chuan's leadership.

The next step was to conduct a surprise interrogation.

Unlike the Buckingham Club, where they have Wang Dakai's ledgers. With those ledgers as evidence, none of them can escape.

But things are different here. Under the Eye of Evil, Zhang Xiaohu only has one person behind him, a man named Brother Qian, who controls all the smuggled meat trade in Linzhou City.

In other words, if the clues about this person are broken, it will be much harder to dig further. Of course, Qin Chuan has the Eye of Sin, so finding the next clue through the other person is not difficult.

However, Qin Chuan didn't have much time to wait for him. He wanted to take advantage of the lightning speed of today and, before anyone could react, finalize the case. Aijia Supermarket would use this case as a breakthrough to eliminate him directly.

So after arresting everyone, Qin Chuan, accompanied by two armed police officers, directly interrogated Zhang Xiaohu.

On-site interrogation means interrogating Zhang Xiaohu directly inside the command vehicle.

“I know this business wasn’t led by you. You’re just the head of the Youhao Road and Farmers Market area. I think you know very well how big Zhang Xiaohu’s case is. You can get 300 million a month from it, and it’s the same in other places. I hope you can tell me the truth about Brother Qian.”

During Zhang Xiaohu's interrogation, Qin Chuan didn't beat around the bush and directly explained to Zhang Xiaohu the information he had gathered.
