Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 527 This operation tests courage
"later……"

When asked about this, Sha Hui hesitated for a moment before saying:
"We had that kind of relationship, but it wasn't official, it was more like being lovers."

"Keeping our relationship private and not interfering with each other's love lives is a kind of comfort for both of us when we're lonely."

She spoke in a somewhat convoluted way, but everyone in the room understood her.

Yu Dazhang further summarized:

"Friends with benefits."

Upon hearing this, Sha Hui's eyes widened in disbelief, as if she couldn't believe that a police officer could say such a thing.

Lu Zhongxin then kicked him directly under the table.

What words is this?

vulgar!

Even suspects know to add artistic embellishments, but you just blurt it out.

I have absolutely nothing in common with hypocrites like you… Yu Dazhang continued to ask:

"After resorting to violent debt collection, do you get your money back?"

In his view, this was just the beginning of the entire crime.

From the perspective of defining usury, usury in private lending is not itself a crime, but it is not protected by national law.

In other words, if the interest you ask for is too high, you won't get your money back, and taking it to court won't help.

Furthermore, there is no crime related to usury in the criminal law.

for example.

Your friend asks to borrow 10,000 yuan, but you don't want to lend it to him.

But the other party promised to borrow for only one month and repay you 15,000 yuan at that time. He gave you a written IOU with an interest of 5,000 yuan.

You were tempted and lent the money.

A month later, your friend refused to pay you back and accused you of usury, telling you to sue him if you wanted.

Since the IOU states an interest of 5,000, that serves as evidence, and you can only suffer in silence.

At this point, you did engage in usury, but regardless of whether your friend repays you, you haven't broken the law.

You actually feel wronged because you lost your principal.

However, if you can't swallow this anger and choose violent debt collection, then you're breaking the law.

Let's return to the case itself.

If Zhang Yanlong had gone bankrupt back then and hadn't gathered released prisoners to violently collect debts, he really wouldn't have been involved in any illegal or criminal activities.

"The vast majority will be coming back."

Sha Hui replied:
"It's strange, but I didn't see those people use any violent means. As long as you go to their door to ask for it, they almost always give it to you."

"Of course, there are also some who are unable to repay."

"After being taught a lesson a few times, some ran away, some went crazy, and some committed suicide."

"You've come to the crucial point..." Yu Dazhang pressed, asking further.
"How did he handle things after the incident?"

If he hadn't prevented the bombing in this life, he wouldn't have known that there were so many hidden secrets behind the suicide.

This indicates that Zhang Yanlong's previous offenses were all resolved through connections.

The most terrifying thing is that Yu Dazhang had never heard of any illegal online lending cases in Hongkou District in his previous life.

It goes without saying that Zhang Yanlong in his previous life was never discovered in the end.

It is estimated that during the national crackdown on illegal online lending in 2016, Zhang Yanlong received advance notice, shut down the online lending platform, and successfully escaped the police investigation.

"They all settled privately."

When Sha Hui mentioned this, her expression became somewhat unnatural:

"The case of suicide is withdrawn normally, and the debt information is destroyed at the same time. If the family has any objections, we will discuss compensation further."

She then explained:
"Because it wasn't entered into the credit reporting system, no debt information was left, so now there's no way to prove it."

"In the end, the deceased's family had no choice but to accept this outcome."

Finally, she added:

"In two other cases where people were disabled, the other party also chose to settle privately without even reporting the case to the police. The debt was wiped out, and a sum of money was given to the other party."

After Sha Hui finished speaking, the interrogation room fell silent for a moment.

Yu Dazhang felt that she still had something to say, so he didn't ask immediately.

At the same time, he was analyzing what she said in his mind.

Zhang Yanlong's chosen solution is somewhat like giving a slap followed by a sweet treat.

That slap was too hard. Can a disability caused by such a slap be resolved privately?

Of course not.

But such things happen all the time.

Some murder cases were even resolved privately through settlements.

If the family does not pursue the matter, it is interpreted as suicide or accidental death.

In the TV series "In the Name of the People," there's a scene where several migrant workers gang rape a rural girl who came to the city to work.

That was a heinous crime.

As a result, Qi Tongwei in the drama was able to reconcile the two sides with just one sentence.

Do you think the TV series is exaggerated?
Here are three words for you: It has a real-life counterpart.

The reason this drama became so popular is because art imitates life.

"Zhang Yanlong must have met a very powerful person later on."

After a brief pause, Sha Hui continued:

“Some things that I thought money couldn’t solve, he solved with ease.”

"I guess he must have gotten acquainted with some high-ranking official, which is why he's become increasingly audacious."

As she spoke, Yu Dazhang kept observing her facial expressions.

It doesn't seem like he's lying.

"You don't know Zhang Yanlong's family background?" Yu Dazhang asked.

"I don't know." Sha Hui shook her head.

“I never asked, and he never mentioned it either. Our relationship doesn’t involve either of our families, and he never asked about my family situation either.”

They kept a relatively low profile to the outside world... Yu Dazhang became even more certain of his thoughts.

Because Zhang Yanlong did these things behind his father's back, he never talked about his family background to outsiders.

I bet he got a lot of beatings when he was a kid.

Yu Dazhang could even sense that Zhang Yanlong was somewhat afraid of his father.

The interrogation can now be concluded.

Sha Hui has confessed to Zhang Yanlong's crimes, and he can be arrested.

She has no access to anything more profound.

For example, Zhang Yanlong's finance company.

Based on current observations, that company was used to receive illicit funds and then launder them through business means.

We went outside the interrogation room.

Yu Dazhang saw two familiar faces.

Ma Jian and Liu Miao.

"Captain Li has already arrived with his men," Ma Jian said with a serious expression.

"He's waiting for you in the observation room."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jun came out from next door, followed by more than ten police officers.

so many people?

Yu Dazhang originally thought that Captain Li could only bring five or six police officers at most.

After all, it's the Lunar New Year holiday, and everyone is on leave in shifts. It seems unlikely that all the colleagues on leave could be called back.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that Captain Li has really called all the officers on leave back.

He also saw officers from the Second and Third Battalions, including Zhang Sen.

To his relief, none of the many people looked at him with resentment; instead, they all looked excited and thrilled.

What did Captain Li say to them?

"Give me the order."

Li Jun approached him and looked at him solemnly:
"Some officers volunteered to return to their posts after hearing that you were going to do something big, which shows how much people trust you."

This is indeed a big operation; it all depends on everyone's courage... Yu Dazhang nodded, then looked at the police officers behind him:
"The next operation is a bit complicated, so we won't split into groups for now; we need to act as a team."

"What are the specifics?" Li Jun asked.

"Probably..." Yu Dazhang said with a smile:

"We are going to surround the municipal party committee's residential compound."
