money is not guilty

Chapter 83 Missing

In the meeting room of the Donghua Public Security Bureau, members of the task force for the "913" extraordinarily large illegal fund-raising case are giving a special report to Director Liang Yuxiang.

Xiao Wang from the Economic Investigation Section made a preliminary report on the previous investigation and preliminary conclusions. The investigation of the case has entered a critical period. With the arrest of Li Qingquan and Gu Tiande, the Shikui Shihu gang was destroyed, some clues were gradually connected, and the truth was gradually revealed. out of the water.

Li Yishu said: "I want to make some additions to what Xiao Wang reported just now. Since there is not enough evidence, these are just speculations." She gestured to the recorder, meaning that this part of the report does not need to be recorded.

"As Xiao Wang said, we preliminarily concluded that the funds involved in the 913 case are still in Donghua City. Due to the scattered accounts, it has brought great difficulty to the detection work. We have monitored several of the involved accounts, and the amount is 50. About [-] yuan. These accounts, a week before the Spring Festival, carried out small-amount cash withdrawals at Donghua Bank, Donghua Rural Commercial Bank, and Minfeng Bank. The other party is very clear about the bank’s procedures, and every time The amount is less than [-], and the cash is withdrawn in batches. We speculate that these funds cannot leave the country reasonably, and the criminal suspects are organizing the collection of these cash. The task force obtained the surveillance video of the cash withdrawal, and we found that the cash withdrawal or the person accompanying the cash withdrawal, Two of them are financial personnel of Tianma Group."

When Li Yishu said this, Xiao Wang called up the slideshow and projected the photos of the suspects involved.

Liang Yuxiang asked: "You mean, Tianma Group participated in this illegal fund-raising case?"

Li Yishu said, "It's only possible. We currently lack sufficient evidence, and it may also be the personal behavior of the financial personnel. We have already applied for surveillance of these people. If the other party takes further actions, we will find out in time."

Liang Yuxiang fell into deep thought. If it was an individual financial person, this case would be easier to handle. If it was true that Li Yishu guessed, Qi Zhongyuan and other high-level personnel were involved, and Qi Zhongyuan's relationship in Donghua City and H Province, I am afraid it would be more difficult. .Tianma Group is a star enterprise and a large taxpayer in Donghua City. Once involved in such a case, the consequences may be disastrous.

Thinking of this, he ordered: "This matter, without conclusive evidence, must not be acted rashly, especially the actions against the senior management of Tianma Group must be approved by me."

Everyone replied: "Yes."

Liang Yuxiang then asked, "How is the arrest of Shi Kui going?"

Li Yishu said: "We got information from the Canadian police through the above. A Chinese man named Wu Tianliang was killed in Vancouver. He was shot twice in the forehead. It is said that it was a fight between local Chinese gangs. We found this person by comparing the photos. It is very consistent with Shi Kui's appearance, and Shi Hu has also confirmed that this person is his brother Shi Kui."

"I'm afraid it's not that simple."

"According to Shi Hu's confession, Shi Kui should have mastered the account information of the funds involved in the 913 case and was murdered. If we can find this information, it will be of great help to our case."

Liang Yuxiang said, "No matter what, find a way to dig out these evidences!"

At the end of the meeting, Li Yishu returned to the office feeling a little downcast.If all these funds are taken away and transferred to foreign countries or on the black market, then even if the 913 case is solved, there will be a lot of problems in the follow-up recovery work.

Xiao Wang suddenly came in and said, "Captain Li, I found something."

……

Outside the suburbs of Donghua City, there is a Fangjia Reservoir, which is a flood control and water storage facility used to adjust the water level of Donghua City.When Li Yishu and others arrived at the reservoir in a police car, the surrounding police cordoned off.

An hour ago, Xiao Wang received a call from the criminal investigation team, saying that a male body was found near the Fangjia Reservoir. After identity verification, it was Deng Xiaoxian, Shi Kui's subordinate.Since this person had already registered with the Economic Investigation Brigade, the criminal investigation team immediately notified the Economic Investigation Brigade after discovering the body.

Liu Bin from the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the City Bureau had already been investigating at the scene. When he saw Li Yishu coming, he said hello.

Deng Xiaoxian's corpse was soaked and decomposed, his whole body was swollen, his eyes were turned out, and there were many bruises on his body. It was obvious that he was tortured before he died. A huge iron block was tied to his body. It was obvious that he was thrown into a reservoir after death.

Liu Bin said: "The body was discovered by the villagers who were fishing in winter nearby. The autopsy report has not yet come out. It is preliminarily speculated that the time of death should be during the Spring Festival. I heard that this person is the object of your attention, so I will inform you to come here."

Xiao Wang and others went up to communicate with the criminal investigators, took photos as evidence, and handed over the rest of the work to the criminal investigators. The investigation of this kind of case has little to do with the economic investigation.

Xiao Wang said, "Deng Xiaoxian died again. I don't know if it has anything to do with the 913 case. However, his death makes our work even more difficult."

Li Yishu shook his head, "That's not necessarily the case. Shi Kui's death and Deng Xiaoxian's death indicate that the situation is out of their control. Some people can't sit still and start to take extreme measures. This will be more beneficial to the case. We The case is afraid of delays, if they don't move at all, it will take a year and a half, they can afford it, and we can't afford to wait."

"Then what should we do?"

Li Yishu said: "Go and investigate Deng Xiaoxian's call records, consumption records, credit card and even WeChat, Alipay and other records, driving records, places he has been to, and people he has met before he was alive. Investigate thoroughly to see if there are any clues for breakthroughs."

The death of Deng Xiaoxian aroused Li Yishu's vigilance, which made her see an opportunity.

In the afternoon of the same day, the task force made a new discovery. Deng Xiaoxian made frequent calls to a Canadian number one month before his death. Combined with the time of Shi Kui's death, it is speculated that Shi Kui handed over the account evidence of the 913 case to Deng Xiaoxian for safekeeping. , but in the end it brought Deng Xiaoxian a fatal disaster.

Xiao Wang said: "We also found that before Deng Xiaoxian died, he had called SF Express. According to the consumption records, he should have sent a package in the same city on the third day of the first lunar month. Xiao Sun has already gone to investigate , I believe there will be a result soon.”

An hour later, Li Yishu got the news, "Boss, the whereabouts of the package have been investigated."

"Where?"

"Room 17, Unit 1, Apartment Building No. 901, Qiuyue Community Apartment, the addressee is Ma Xiaoxiao."

Li Yishu was startled, worried that something might happen to Ma Xiaoxiao, immediately took out his mobile phone, dialed Ma Xiaoxiao's number, and the person told him that the phone had been turned off.Li Yishu called Wang Chong again, "Wang Chong, where is Ma Xiaoxiao?"

Wang Chong was investigating clients in a company, and he heard the words: "At my house, she has not been feeling well for the past two days, so she didn't go to work."

"Why can't I get through to her cell phone?"

"Maybe it's turned off."

Li Yishu started the car while making a phone call, and said, "I'm on my way to your house right now, come back quickly and see if Xiaoxiao is at home."

Hearing her anxious tone, Wang Chong asked, "What's going on?"

Li Yishu said, "I'm worried that Xiaoxiao might be in danger." She told Wang Chong her speculation while driving, "Do you still remember the account information in Shi Kui's hand? I suspect that he passed it to Ma Xiaoxiao through that Deng Xiaoxian." .We got news that Shi Kui and Deng Xiaoxian are dead, so hurry back!"

Hearing Li Yishu's words, Wang Chong was so frightened that he was covered in cold sweat. He called Ma Xiaoxiao, but the phone was turned off, so he told Zhang Feifei a few words, started the car like a fly, and galloped towards his home.Along the way, Wang Chong kept calling Ma Xiaoxiao, but the phone was still turned off.

After 15 minutes, Wang Chong parked the car downstairs and found that Ma Xiaoxiao's red polo was also parked in the parking space.Wang Chong didn't have time to wait for the elevator, so he climbed upstairs in one breath.

Pushing the door open, Wang Chong shouted, "Xiaoxiao!"

No one at home responded.

The house is clean and tidy, there is a fruit plate on the coffee table, but the TV is on.Wang Chong searched the room, but did not find Ma Xiaoxiao.

An ominous premonition welled up in Wang Chong's heart. Did something really happen to Xiaoxiao?

A few minutes later, Li Yishu also arrived at Wang Chong's house. Seeing Wang Chong's face was covered with sweat, he asked, "How is it?" Wang Chong kept shaking his head, "Impossible, she was fine when she left in the morning."

Li Yishu inspected the house, and there was no sign of a fight in the house. The TV was broadcasting a Korean drama, which was the one that Ma Xiaoxiao had been dragging Wang Chong to watch with her these days.

Seeing that Wang Chong was a little confused, Li Yishu asked, "When was the last time you communicated?"

Wang Chong took a deep breath and forcibly controlled his emotions, but found that nothing worked. His hands still couldn't help shaking. He said, "At eleven o'clock at noon, she asked me if I would go home for dinner. I have arrangements. She Ordered takeout."

Rummaging through the trash cans, I didn't find any takeaway boxes.

"Do you want to report the crime?"

Li Yishu said, "If she disappeared for less than 24 hours, a case cannot be filed unless there is evidence that her body has been threatened."

Wang Chong roared, "Then what should we do?"

Seeing Wang Chong's agitation, Li Yishu stepped forward and held his hand, saying, "Don't worry, I'm the police, I'll help you."

After all, the two went downstairs and came to the property of the community. Li Yishu showed his police officer ID and asked to retrieve the surveillance video of the community from [-]:[-] noon to the present.

Surveillance shows that at 11:27, Ma Xiaoxiao walked out of the Yujing Dongfang community from the north gate, wearing an orange windbreaker, and was still answering and calling while walking, looking a little flustered. At 11:31, she stopped a taxi from the door and walked east.

Wang Chong said, "Check the taxi!"

Li Yishu had already dialed the number of the technical department, "Help me check the contact information of the taxi owner of Hua AXXXXX, a yellow Hyundai Elantra. Get back to me within 5 minutes."

After 2 minutes, the technical department called, "Captain Li, this is a taxi from Donghua Passenger Transport. The owner's name is Li Shengli. His phone number is 139xxxxxxxx. GPS shows that he is now at Donghua Shopping Plaza."

Wang Chong wrote down the number and dialed it, "It's Li Shengli, at 11:30 noon today, didn't you pick up a woman at Yujing Dongfang?"

The other person said impatiently, "Who are you, why should I tell you?"

Wang Chong was about to lose his temper when Li Yishu picked up the phone, "Hello Li Shengli, I'm Li Yishu from the Economic Investigation Brigade of Donghua City Public Security Bureau. Where are you now? We need your assistance in the investigation of a case."

After asking for the address, Wang Chong was about to drive, Li Yishu said, "Get in my car."

Li Yishu's car is a police car, which is more convenient when driving in the urban area. Ten minutes later, the two came to Liangdonghua Shopping Plaza and found the taxi owner. Li Yishu showed him his police officer's card, and Li Shengli said greasy, "Comrade police , if you have something to ask directly, I know that there is no end to my words.”

Li Yishu asked, "At 11:30 in the morning, you picked up a female passenger from Yujing Dongfang, wearing an orange windbreaker, do you have any impression?"

Li Shengli smiled and said, "I receive so many customers a day, how can I remember clearly?" Seeing his appearance, Wang Chong wanted to go up and beat him up, but now he was asked to hold back.

Li Yishu shouted: "Be serious."

Li Shengli was startled by this beautiful police officer, quickly put away his hippie smile, and said: "I remembered, there is such a beautiful woman, let alone, such a beautiful woman can be counted in Donghua City, with that figure, that face Son……"

"Say the point!"

"Yes, yes, she got on the bus from Yujing Dongfang, got off at Donghu Pier, gave me 100 yuan, didn't ask for change, and left in a hurry."

Wang Chong asked, "Did she say anything in the car, or make a phone call?"

Li Shengli said, "Well, she kept calling after getting in the car, as if she was talking about some money."

"what money?"

Li Shengli rolled his eyes, "How do I know, I just drive. It's not a good habit to eavesdrop on customers' privacy. What's the matter, brother, your wife eloped with someone else?"

Wang rushed up and punched him. Although Li Shengli dodged in time, the blow still hit him badly. Li Shengli shouted, "Comrade policeman, I want to sue him, this kid hits people casually."

Li Yishu dissuaded, "Wang Chong, calm down, you can't solve the problem like this!"

Wang Chong said: "Ma Xiaoxiao is missing, her life and death are unknown, how do you tell me to calm down now?"

Ever since Ma Xiaoxiao's accident, Wang Chong's head has been buzzing, as if there were countless voices scolding him. Finally, he couldn't help it, and punched the taxi's front hood, causing a dent in the entire car hood. .

Li Shengli quit, "What are you doing, I still have to do business."

Li Yishu took out 1000 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Li Shengli, "Okay, okay, you go first, keep the phone open, and contact me anytime you think of anything!"

The two turned to the East Lake Wharf again. Because it was winter, there were few people here, and few people came here.

Li Yishu said: "Who asked her to come here? Now this season, there is no one, how can I ask?"

Wang Chong looked around. There was a surveillance camera more than 100 meters away. He pointed to Li Yishu, "See if there are any clues there."

Soon after, she was transferred from the management office of the terminal to monitoring. At around 12:20, Ma Xiaoxiao arrived at the terminal. A few minutes later, two men in black took her into a black Passat without a license plate.

The two men were wearing black trench coats and sunglasses. Since their backs were facing the camera, they did not show their faces. The moment the three of them got into the car, Li Yishu said, "Stop!"

She pointed to the monitoring monitor, "From this angle, you can see the fronts of the two people, but the distance is too far, and it's a bit blurry. I'll bring the video back to the team and ask the technical department to restore it to see if I can recognize the facial features of the two people."

Li Yishu copied the video and called Liu Bin, "Captain Liu, I might trouble you."

Liu Bin said, "Captain Li, what can you order!"

Li Yishu said, "I want to report a case of missing persons. The missing person is Ma Xiaoxiao, female, a reporter from Donghua Daily. She is 913 years old and her ID number is XXX. She may be kidnapped. This case may be related to the [-] case." Today's body throwing case is related. Before his disappearance, this person had received a package from Deng Xiaoxian. I have some surveillance videos here. I need the team's technical personnel to assist in the investigation. Don't announce it to the public for the time being. The other party may have Appeal."

Li Yishu is Director Li's daughter, so Liu Bin naturally didn't dare to be sloppy, and quickly responded, "Captain Li, do you want to handle these two cases together?"

Li Yishu said, "I don't use it for the time being, so as not to cause complications."

After hanging up the phone, Li Yishu said to Wang Chong, "This kind of case is under criminal investigation, I'll go back to the team first, and connect with that side. Wang Chong, you go home first, and I'll let you know if there's any news."

Wang Chong didn't have any thoughts, and said, "I'll go back to the team with you."

Li Yishu shook his head, "I understand your feelings. Wang Chong, Xiaoxiao is also my good friend. Of course, I will not stand by and watch when something happens to her. Please trust us. I think Xiaoxiao is missing this time. I will send it to Deng Xiaoxian. Her package is related, think again, have you missed any clues?"

Wang Chong suddenly remembered the theft from Ma Xiaoxiao's home when he came back from the vacation, so he told Li Yishu about it, and Li Yishu said, "Why didn't you tell me this happened?"

Wang Chong said that he thought it was an ordinary burglary and nothing was lost at home, so he ignored it after calling the police.Speaking of this, he was also annoyed that such a thing happened, and he was not alerted at that time.

Li Yishu said, "Okay, you go home first and wait for my call."

When Wang Chong returned home, he sat on the sofa in a daze without even changing his clothes.The empty room seemed lifeless.

If in the past, when he came back, Ma Xiaoxiao would either jump on Wang Chong, pull Wang Chong to watch TV together, or gossip with him about trivial matters in the unit. Now that Ma Xiaoxiao is missing, he can do nothing but sit in a daze.

Wang Chong has never felt like this before, without Ma Xiaoxiao, this place is just a shelter.With Ma Xiaoxiao, this place can be called a home.

Ever since he lost contact with Ma Xiaoxiao, Wang Chong's brain has been in a state of panic. After a long time of tossing, he finally calmed down. He warned himself that anxiety and impulsiveness can't solve any problems. He walked to the kitchen and washed his face with cold water. Start thinking about the cause and effect of this incident.

Ma Xiaoxiao's disappearance is obviously related to the illegal fund-raising case that Li Yishu is handling.The money was originally hidden in Donghua City, but something happened to Gu Tiande, which implicated Shi Kui and Shi Hu.

Just as Li Yishu suspected, Shi Kui and Shi Hu are just a means used by Tianma Group to cover up people's eyes and ears. If there is a problem with the two of them, Tianma Group will naturally be afraid of dragging them into the water, so they find a way to silence Shi Kui Unexpectedly, Shi Kui kept a hand, keeping the evidence that could point to Tianma Group.

This evidence was given to Ma Xiaoxiao by Deng Xiaoxian.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, the theft from Ma Xiaoxiao's home was related to this evidence.Obviously, the other party did not find this so-called evidence, otherwise they would not have taken Ma Xiaoxiao away.However, these days, Wang Chong and Ma Xiaoxiao got along day and night, and never heard Ma Xiaoxiao mention this matter at all.

So the question is, where is this so-called evidence?
