Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 254 They are deliberately giving money
Isn't this the connection point?

It can now be basically confirmed that Li Yong and one of the victims knew each other sixteen years ago.

And they all joined that small group.

Yu Dazhang had met all of these nine wronged people before when he was overturning their cases.

But at that time his focus was mainly on the social relations of the wronged person.

He wanted to use this to find someone who fit the suspect's identity.

In Yu Dazhang's opinion, this is a shortcut.

Since it has been determined that the suspect's motive is revenge, it is very likely that these wronged people have some special relationship with the suspect.

Unfortunately.

All the social relations of the nine wronged people were checked, but not a single one matched the case.

First of all.

The suspect has military experience.

This alone has already screened out the vast majority of people.

Moreover, the military branch during service cannot be an ordinary soldier in the army.

At this point, there is not one left, and none of them meet the requirements.

In other words, none of the people known to these nine wronged people have the ability to complete their revenge.

Yu Dazhang then discussed the case with Ma Jian for a while, but still could not infer the connection between the small group and the suspect.

That very evening, Liu Miao called.

"Da Zhang, which city are you in now? I'll come to see you tomorrow."

"I'm in Xicheng." Yu Dazhang became excited when he heard that Liu Miao was coming:

"Have you checked everything out?"

"The whereabouts of Li Yong's funds have been found out." Liu Miao's voice was very steady:
"I have sorted out the information. I will report to you in person tomorrow."

Yu Dazhang recognized his work attitude.

Since he wanted to report it in person, it meant that Liu Miao thought the matter was not simple.

He may have found important clues in it... Yu Dazhang replied solemnly:
"Okay, call me when you get to Tin City tomorrow and I'll pick you up."

The next day.

Yu Dazhang picked up Liu Miao at the station.

Back at the hotel, he checked out of Ma Jian's single room and booked a double room.

After arriving in the room, Yu Dazhang handed Liu Miao a bottle of water:

"No hurry, take a rest first."

After sitting down, Liu Miao drank a sip of water first, then took out a document from his bag.

"These are Li Yong's investment records and spending records for the past two years. The spending records on the supplementary card belong to his wife."

After handing the document to Yu Dazhang, he continued:

"You don't need to look at your spending records. I've checked them carefully and there's nothing suspicious about them. They're basically all daily expenses."

"What is really worth noting is that Li Yong has made five investments in the past two years, and without exception, all of them have lost all their money."

"Moreover, these five investments are all domestic and the industries are also different, which can be said to be diverse."

Yu Dazhang is a layman when it comes to investment, but after listening to Liu Miao's introduction, he realized that there must be something wrong with these investments.

Normally, those investors would only invest their money in areas they are familiar with.

It is impossible to invest in so many unfamiliar places like Li Yong did.

The most surprising thing is that even though he lost all his money, Li Yong still did not hesitate.

Logically speaking, after two consecutive investment failures, he should have given up.

This is how a normal person would react.

He opened the file and flipped through a few pages.

The above content is the same as what Liu Miao said. The projects invested by Li Yong are indeed very diverse.

Aquatic flower cultivation, mobile car washers, self-service milk tea chains...

Not only are they very complicated, they are also very outrageous.

Take the self-service milk tea project for example. If people were willing to make their own milk tea, those milk tea shops would have closed down long ago.

You can tell that this project is unreliable just by looking at the name, but Li Yong actually invested real money in it.

Looking at the investment amount...

The amount ranges from a few hundred thousand to over a million.

Considering Li Yong's wealth, it is not much.

In other words: can afford to pay.

"There is indeed a problem."

Yu Dazhang finished reading the last investment, then looked up at Liu Miao:
"If you look at these investments individually, there's nothing wrong with them. Considering Li Yong's wealth, an investment of around one million is nothing to him."

"But if you look at it together, it's obvious that something is wrong. It seems like he's deliberately losing money."

"No, he was giving money away on purpose!"

If a single investment fails, you lose money.

If investments fail continuously, the nature of the situation will change.

In Yu Dazhang's opinion, Li Yong's investment behavior was too deliberate.

If it weren't for this case, no one would have noticed Li Yong's investments.

After all, whether losing money or making money is just personal gain.

"Yes, he is giving money away."

Liu Miao said, and took out another document from his bag. After handing it to Yu Dazhang, he continued:
"I conducted a detailed investigation into the projects invested by Li Yong."

"It was discovered that he was not the only one sending money, there were several other people sending money with him."

"And you're familiar with most of the people here."

Hearing this, Yu Dazhang was stunned for a moment.

"I'm familiar with them all?" He repeated, and then quickly realized:

"Other victims of the severed finger case!"

This is the only possibility... Yu Dazhang couldn't think of anyone else who could be related to Li Yong.

"That's right." Liu Miao nodded:
"Moreover, the number of people involved in each project is not fixed. Usually, the number of investors in a project is between five and seven."

“By the time of the next project, the personnel will be replaced by another group of people, but not all of them.”

“When you look at all the projects together, you’ll find that the investors are the same dozen or so people over and over again.”

A dozen people? This vague number caught Yu Dazhang's attention.

He immediately asked:
"Be specific. I want to hear the actual number of people."

"Eleven." Liu Miao pointed to the document in Yu Dazhang's hand:

"I have recorded the investors of each project and removed the duplicate names, and there are exactly eleven people."

Eleven... Yu Dazhang did not expect this number.

He had previously estimated that the number of people in that small group was at least twelve.

Who is the missing person?
There is no doubt that what Liu Miao found out will not be wrong.

Not only did they confirm that the nine victims were connected, they also found two more.

The two extra people are likely to be the suspect's next targets.

Could it be the planner?
Once this idea popped into Da Zhang's mind, it could never be dispelled.

That's right.

As an organizer, there is really no need to get involved in this investment bureau.

Because he is the one who collects the money.

In this way, the number of people matches.

But this chain of clues still missed one person.

"Go immediately and investigate these two people."

Yu Dazhang pointed at the two names on the document and said to Ma Jian and Liu Miao:
"They could very well be the next victims."
