Chapter 244: Was Ghost’s Original Identity Brother Long, a Fellow Inmate?

A few days ago, while breaking into the Kill Organization’s Dark Web, Su Ming managed to capture the names and contact details of key city agents.

This information was crucial as it could help the police apprehend significant drug distribution figures.

Therefore, Su Ming had paid special attention to it and could still clearly remember…

In Jiahe City, the primary agent for high-purity drugs was not someone named Brother Long, but a criminal known as One-Eye.

So why did Brother Long also have high-purity drugs in his possession?

Could it be that Brother Long was the original primary agent in Jiahe City?

But because Brother Long knew too much about Ghost or the drug trafficking organization, he was eliminated to prevent any unforeseen leaks?

Or… could Brother Long actually be Ghost?

Is that why he had high-purity drugs, even in such quantities that he could ask Wang Hao to help sell them?

Considering the drug trafficking organization’s usual caution, cunning, and various laundering methods, if Ghost’s true identity was Brother Long, it would indeed be possible for him to abandon this easily exposed identity and adopt a fake one instead.

Who would believe that Brother Long, who caused a sensation online and was supposedly killed with his own machete, wasn’t actually dead? That he was merely using this method to hide and had long since assumed a new identity to escape.

Besides these two possibilities, the last potential reason could be that Jiahe City initially had two agents for high-purity drugs?

As Su Ming pondered continuously, Chen Sheng, sitting beside him, furrowed his brows and immediately shared the clues he knew and the doubts in his mind without hesitation.

“It was indeed One-Eye, not this Brother Long who was supposedly killed.”

“Currently, One-Eye has been temporarily thrown into detention, but we’ve conducted an emergency interrogation on him.”

“But strangely… One-Eye didn’t mention Brother Long, not even once. Among the lower-level drug dealers he exposed, Wang Hao wasn’t included.”

“And the most crucial thing is, One-Eye claimed he had been selling high-purity drugs for six months, which clearly overlaps with Brother Long’s timeline.”

“As for lying, I don’t think that’s possible. One-Eye has been caught by the police many times and should be very aware that in such a major drug trafficking case, the police are extremely serious, and any deception would be impossible to conceal.”

At this point, Chen Sheng took out his phone from his pocket, indicating to Su Ming beside him.

“Team Leader Su.”

“Should I call the detention center officers now? Have them conduct a temporary interrogation on the arrested One-Eye?”

“At the very least, verifying and sharing clues from One-Eye might reveal something else?”

Hearing this, Su Ming nodded in agreement, allowing Chen Sheng to proceed with calling the detention center officers.

They were preparing to verify immediately if there were any important clues related to the supposedly killed Brother Long.

Could Brother Long have been… Ghost’s original identity?

Though the possibility was low, it was necessary to confirm or eliminate it further.

With Su Ming’s approval, Chen Sheng didn’t shy away from Wang Hao and immediately picked up the phone on the table, dialing the detention center’s on-duty officer.

After all, Wang Hao, who was involved in gambling, drugs, and prostitution, was destined to be locked up for several years.

After a couple of seconds, as the call was answered, Chen Sheng promptly spoke.

“Put the phone in front of One-Eye, whom we caught a few days ago. I have some extremely important questions for him.”

After his words, the officer on the other end briefly responded, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.

Clearly, they sensed the urgency in Chen Sheng’s tone and were rushing to where One-Eye was temporarily held.

“Bang!”

With the sound of a door being pushed open, followed by a metallic handle slamming into the wall, a crisp collision echoed.

Immediately after, a voice full of impatience, low and hoarse, came through.

“Huh? Officer Chen is looking for me? Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake?”

“I told you everything a few days ago, why are you back? I really have nothing…”

Before One-Eye could finish, Chen Sheng’s stern and undeniable voice rang out.

“One-Eye, it’s me. I have more questions for you.”

“First, I need you to tell me again, when did you start working for this drug trafficking organization, helping distribute those high-purity drugs?”

After his words, the respectful and earnest voice of One-Eye, clearly heard through the speakerphone in the interrogation room, responded.

“Officer Chen, hello, hello, I will fully cooperate. Please put in a good word for me to reduce my sentence, no need for the peanuts.”

“I started distributing for the drug trafficking organization six months ago.”

“I was selling until a few days ago when the police caught me. I’m admitting my mistakes, Officer Chen, you have to help me out here.”

Sitting beside him, Su Ming pondered One-Eye’s answers, tapping his fingers on the table.

“The person above you, how did they allocate the drugs to you?”

“Were there any changes in the middle, like sudden decreases or increases?”

Hearing that Chen Sheng was indeed on the other end, One-Eye dared not delay and quickly answered.

“Yes, yes.”

“In the first month, the allocation was actually quite small.”

“Although the purity was high and I could mix in some stuff to fake it, it really wasn’t enough to sell.”

“Then after a month, I could clearly feel the quantity increasing, each time that person gave me several times more.”

“I guess I earned their trust, so they increased my quota.”

“Then, then, it seemed like three months ago, the quantity suddenly doubled again, that was really the most profitable time.”

“Almost all the drugs in Jiahe City had to pass through my hands, I was really making a fortune then.”

Initially, the drug allocation was small.

After a month, it increased several times.

Three months later, it suddenly doubled again.

These three time points clearly corresponded to the drug trafficking organization and Brother Long’s incidents.

Ghost, who hadn’t passed the initiation test, wouldn’t have received much allocation.

But once he passed the test, killed Lan Cai’er, and let K confirm that the police couldn’t find him, he would become a full-fledged member of the organization, and his drug allocation would increase.

And three months ago, when One-Eye’s drug allocation increased by another fold, it was undoubtedly because Brother Long was killed.

The quota originally belonging to Brother Long was handed over to One-Eye.

So.

Does this indicate that Ghost initially had two subordinates?

After contemplating for two seconds, Su Ming further asked aloud.

“One-Eye, do you know Brother Long?”

“Brother Long? You mean that idiot who got killed?” One-Eye’s response came immediately, mentioning the memorable incident of the killing and continued.

“Yes, of course, I know him.”

“But I’m not very familiar with him, or rather, we didn’t get along.”

“When we were in the labor camp together, I couldn’t stand that fool.”

“He always walked around with his head held high, thinking he was something special, but in the end, he got killed? It’s hilarious!”

Labor camp? Prison.

Su Ming keenly caught a detail and immediately pressed further.

“The Bitter Kiln?”

“Were you and Brother Long ever imprisoned together during the same period?”
