Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 531 I'm afraid you'll be scared if I tell you.

"So much money?"

Yu Dazhang had anticipated a huge sum of money, but he never expected it to reach the level of "hundreds of millions".

Zhang Yanlong's main target group is college students who have no source of income. These people have a hard time repaying their principal, so where does all this money come from?

No one springs out of a rock.

Lü Zhongxin sighed:
"Behind those college students are impoverished families. To help their children pay off debts, many families have gone bankrupt and ended up without even a place to live."

"Squeeze every last bit of value out of a family..." Yu Dazhang concluded in his mind.

Although students don't have much money, they are the group most prone to impulsive spending.

The 17-year-old boy who sold his kidney to buy an iPhone in 2011 is now a level 3 disabled person, yet countless others are still following in his footsteps.

Comparison is part of human nature, so it is impossible to completely eliminate.

“Zhang Yanlong’s finance company also has money laundering business.”

Lü Zhongxin continued:
"Our colleagues in the Economic Crime Investigation Department are conducting further investigations. This case has now involved two departments."

The more thorough the investigation, the better... Yu Dazhang believes this is a good thing.

To eradicate evil completely, he naturally hoped to bring everyone involved in this line of work to justice.

"Didn't Zhang Yanlong's family react at all?" Yu Dazhang asked.

This is an unavoidable topic.

Zhang Yanlong's family background is somewhat complicated, and relevant departments will definitely intervene in the investigation.

"Secretary Hong has been detained by the Discipline Inspection Commission."

Lu Zhongxin looked around, then said in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"Anyone above that is beyond our reach, but one thing is certain: regardless of whether his family members were involved in his past affairs, they will likely be implicated this time."

"Human life is at stake. This case has blown up so much that no one can suppress it now."

In other words, even if you wanted to suppress it, it would be too late.

Actually, Secretary Hong and his team intervened at just the right time at the beginning of this case.

If it weren't for Yu Dazhang, Wang Lingling's suicide case would likely have been transferred to the headquarters.

If it is indeed handed over, that would be a different outcome.

"Can't be suppressed..."

Yu Dazhang pondered his master's words, but felt as if something was missing.

After sleeping for 14 hours straight, he is now in a state of high spirits and full of energy, and his thinking is naturally more active.

Typically, criminal investigators have a habit of being results-oriented when handling cases.

However, complex cases are often not as simple as they appear on the surface.

Take this case, for example.

He seems to be a "second-generation" trying to prove himself and that he can make a name for himself without relying on his father.

As a result, he suffered harsh treatment from society and gradually became corrupted.

At this point in the case, the facts are clear, the evidence is conclusive, and the truth has come to light.

If we look at this case solely from a "results-oriented" perspective, then it can easily proceed to the case closure process.

But if we go back to the initial stage of this matter, that is, when Zhang Yanlong just started his first online lending business...

At this moment, Yu Dazhang's eyes lost focus, and he had unknowingly fallen into deep thought.

A question popped into his mind.

Is Zhang Yanlong capable of setting up an online lending platform?

the answer is negative.

It wasn't that Yu Dazhang looked down on him, but rather that this industry has high barriers to entry.

To put it bluntly, not just anyone can do this.

Resources, cognition, direction, choices...

Indispensable.

Zhang Yanlong, a "second-generation" entrepreneur whose family doesn't even support him, simply doesn't have the resources to start a business. First of all, where would the startup capital come from?

His father would never agree to him starting a business, and naturally he wouldn't provide him with financial assistance.

Secondly, who gave him the idea?

To make money in the financial industry, you need to have a certain level of knowledge.

That's not something you can do on a whim.

Not only do you need expertise, but you also need resources and connections; otherwise, you won't even be able to get the paperwork done to set up the platform.

and also……

Secretary Hong!
This person is a key point.

Yu Dazhang only now realized that Secretary Hong's behavior was somewhat unpredictable.

He secretly helped his superiors commit crimes.

Isn't this the same as anonymously offering bribes?

The leader was completely unaware of this, and Secretary Hong's actions did him no good at all; in fact, they might even cause him trouble.

Such a foolish thing is really not something a writer would do.

unless……

He wasn't trying to curry favor with the leader, but with someone else entirely.

Is it really that complicated...? Yu Dazhang felt an intense itch on his scalp and couldn't help but reach out and scratch it.

He thought about it again from the beginning, and indeed, this possibility existed.

Then comes the problem.

What kind of person could Secretary Hong be willing to risk his career to secretly help him?

Or, if the whole incident was a setup, then who was the person who set it up?
Is this something a lowly criminal investigator like me should be worrying about?
At that moment, Yu Dazhang felt like his CPU was about to burn out.

This is a really high-level game!
Lu Zhongxin noticed that his apprentice was lost in thought again.

Every time I see him in this state, it won't be long before someone suffers misfortune.

This seems to have become a pattern.

But in this case, the main culprit has been caught, and most of the others who should have been arrested have been brought to justice. What is there to worry about?
Lu Zhongxin wanted to ask, but he was afraid of disturbing his apprentice's train of thought, so he could only wait on the side.

After a while, Yu Dazhang shook his head and clicked his tongue, looking hesitant but unwilling.

Finally, he came to his senses, looked at Lü Zhongxin, and said with a wry smile:
"Master, I want to call the police."

"Are you alright?" Lü Zhongxin glared at him.
"Aren't you a policeman? What were you thinking just now?"

I'm afraid you'll be scared if I tell you... Yu Dazhang shook his head:
"When I said I was calling the police, I meant I wanted to take this case to the higher authorities."

Upwards? Lü Zhongxin didn't understand.

Their branch office is fully capable of solving this case, and it's nearing its end. Should they hand it over now?
He discovered that he and his apprentice were completely on different wavelengths.

"Make arrangements, I need to see Zhang Yanlong."

At this moment, Yu Dazhang reverted to his investigative demeanor, his tone firm and leaving no room for argument:
"He still has some things he hasn't explained."

Upon hearing this, Lü Zhongxin immediately stood up:

"I'll go now."

Half an hour later.

trial room.

"Officer Yu, I have to protest."

Zhang Yanlong sat in the interrogation chair, leaning to one side, looking utterly exhausted.

"It's not like I'm not going to confess, there's no need to use a war of attrition."

"You criminal police finished your interrogation, then the economic crime investigation team came to interrogate you, and just when that was over, you came to interrogate you again. Is this never going to end?"

"Who told you to do so many things..." Yu Dazhang walked up to him expressionlessly and lit a cigarette for him.

Where did you get the money to start your online lending platform in the first place?
