Chapter 412 The background is too big
Chen Fan originally thought that it would take a day for Han Wei to hear the news, but he got a call early the next morning, telling Chen Fan that there was an underground boxing match tonight in Guankou Ghost Market and asked him to go over and join her.
After Chen Fan drove to the end of the field, Han Wei was already waiting with two bodyguards.
"Get in my car."
Han Wei is wearing a women's suit and sunglasses. Her plump and fit figure is eye-catching and she has a strong aura.
Chen Fan nodded and got into Han Wei's car.
"I thought it would still be a few days later, but I didn't expect that the time for this event seems to have been moved forward."
Han Wei said as the car headed north of the city.
"What's the explanation?" Chen Fan asked.
"There's no explanation. Just because there are enough boxers and financial sponsors, we'll start early."
Han Wei said: "The timing of this boxing match is uncertain, so it will be more hidden."
"Can the police tolerate this?" Chen Fan asked with a smile.
Opening a cabinet, Han Wei took out a bottle of water and handed it to Chen Fan: "First of all, the pass is less than eighty miles away from the edge of Kyoto, but it is not within the scope of Kyoto."
"Secondly, the ghost market is still there. It has now become a market with a large number of people and all kinds of illegal transactions going on all the time. There is no way to check it."
"In the end, the background was too big."
Han Wei paused and said, "I suspect that a top family member is involved here."
"You Han family haven't thought about getting a share of the pie?" Chen Fan asked casually.
"It's true that someone said hello, but our Han family still doesn't like this kind of thing." Han Wei sneered: "How can such a thing get on dirty hands?"
Chen Fan praised: "Ms. Han, you have made me respect your Han family a lot more."
Han Wei rolled her eyes and said, "Call me Han Wei, don't call me Ms. Han."
"With your status, it's really okay to go there?" Chen Fan asked, "Especially because your current position is not low, right?"
"So I have to hide my identity." Han Wei narrowed her eyes and said, "However, in a place like that, no one will check your origins, otherwise it wouldn't be called a gray area, a sinful ghost market."
Chen Fan nodded. As a top socialite with a police background, Han Wei was quite thoughtful in her thinking.
"It's up to you, how are you going to find that Zhao Quan? There must be someone behind him. It won't be easy to see him. If you do it directly, you might get into trouble!"
"We'll see when the time comes." Chen Fan narrowed his eyes and said, "I don't care about any trouble."
"You are quite confident." Han Wei curled her lips.
The two cars headed north, and an hour later they left the city and got onto the highway.
The two were chatting casually in the car.
Han Wei gave Chen Fan the impression of being both shrewd, capable and steady. No wonder she holds real power in the Kyoto Security Department and has a high position.
However, Chen Fan was still unsure of her purpose, and felt that her trip to Guankou Ghost Market was far from as simple as she said.
Of course, Chen Fan had no intention of getting to the bottom of it.
The checkpoint is located in the northeast of Kyoto. It is not close at all. It is more than 100 kilometers away in a straight line. Adding in the time spent in the city, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at the checkpoint.
Instead of going directly to that ghost market, we went to a local restaurant with full flavor.
After entering the hotel, a man and a woman were waiting for Han Wei in a private room.
Seeing Han Wei, this person showed excitement and emotion on his face and said: "Old classmate, welcome to Guankou."
"Old Ma, I'm sorry to bother you!"
"What kind of trouble is there between us?" The man smiled and said, "Isn't it my honor to be able to receive you?"
"You, your mouth is still so good at talking." Han Wei said with a smile.
"Haha, Weiwei, what you said makes me sound glib?"
The man smiled and nodded to Chen Fan, but did not ask. Instead, he pointed to the woman beside him and said:
"Weiwei, this is Wang Ziqing. She is very familiar with the underground market and ghost market in Guankou."
The woman is about thirty-six or seventeen years old, has a slim figure, and is wearing a mink fur vest windbreaker. She is pretty in appearance, but she looks rather tacky.
"Hello, Miss Han!"
Wang Ziqing knew Han Wei's identity, bowed respectfully and shook Han Wei's hand.
"Then there's Ms. Laowang." Han Wei said pleasantly.
"I don't dare, I don't dare, this is a blessing I can't even ask for." Wang Ziqing said with an apologetic smile.
"My status is quite sensitive, so I can't accompany you Weiwei to the ghost market. If you have anything to do, just ask Zi Qing." Lao Ma said, "I know your temper, and I don't advise you not to go there, but you must
Be careful!"
Han Wei nodded.
"I will have people waiting near the ghost market at any time. If you encounter trouble, you can send bodyguards out to ask for help." Lao Ma added, not yet relieved.
"There's no need to be so careful. I'm accompanied by experts." Han Wei smiled and said, "I know the communication method won't work inside, but it's not like this."
Lao Ma smiled bitterly when he heard this.
He had taken a risk in this matter. If it weren't for his special status, he would have wished to accompany him in person.
Chen Fan listened, somewhat surprised.
Han Wei obviously did not follow the path of the Han family, but found an old horse through her own connections.
Judging from his temperament and demeanor, as well as his name as an old classmate, this old man is obviously someone from the police system.
"Okay, Lao Ma, I won't drink any more wine. I'll have tea instead of wine. Thank you for your hospitality." Han Wei smiled and raised her glass.
"Okay, you, in fact, the ghost market is a place where fish and dragons are mixed, chaotic and evil, and it is really not suitable for you to go." Lao Ma raised his glass.
"As you said, so many young men from wealthy families go there to play, why can't I go there?" Han Wei said with a smile: "Don't worry about it, put aside our identities, just treat it as ordinary people looking for fun.
."
Lao Ma was speechless and had to change the topic and asked Wang Ziqing to introduce the situation of the ghost market while eating.
Wang Ziqing's understanding of the ghost market is no longer as simple as it seems on paper, and the introduction is very detailed.
This side of the pass was the main road leading to the outside of the pass in ancient times and was a battleground for military strategists.
At the same time, this is also the way for valuable commodities such as dongzhu, furs, ginseng and deer antlers from outside the customs to enter the customs.
Although times have changed, it is still a distribution center for goods outside customs. As a result, commerce has developed and many trading markets have been derived.
The ghost market is one of them.
The original ghost market was when buyers and sellers in the antique industry set up stalls to trade while it was still dark.
With the expansion of its scale, the Guankou Ghost Market has become a place where the market opens after dark and various dealers and brokers gather.
The goods traded are no longer limited to legal goods, but extend to all kinds of illegal and prohibited goods.
Later, with the intervention of various forces, gamblers and vagabonds also gathered here, including human traffickers.
You can buy anything on this black market, as long as you can afford the price.
As for underground boxing matches, they have always existed here and have been banned repeatedly.
The area outside the Pass was originally a place with strong folk customs and strong martial arts. During the war years, there were often life-and-death fights, which later evolved into underground boxing matches.
The introduction of underground boxing matches to Guankou Ghost Market has become a natural thing.
In the early years, the scale was not so large, and there were only a few games every few days. But after the forces behind the scenes intervened, it began to grow in size and attracted high-rollers from all over the world to participate in betting, which gave it its current name.
It is said that many practitioners participate in it for the sake of huge sums of money or to win the favor of the funder in order to achieve success.
After all, not all martial arts practitioners have a good background. Most martial arts practitioners are somewhere between ancient martial arts and the secular world. They have no other abilities and can only fight for a future with their fists.
The meal took a long time, and after the meal, the old man said goodbye and left.
