Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 610 Crazy Plan

Five hundred thousand per family.

That's really an even distribution.

After hearing the content of the call, Yu Dazhang had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

This 1.5 million in cash must have been exchanged for gold.

Because even if all six suspects combined, they couldn't raise that much money.

Now that it's confirmed that it was exchanged for gold, the rest is not hard to guess.

Because there are only a few ways to exchange gold for cash.

1. A professional physical store for gold recycling.

These shops specialize in recycling gold, offering transparent and real-time pricing, and providing on-site weighing and inspection.

2. Pawnshop, also known as a pawn shop.

This platform supports gold collateral and redemption, making it suitable for short-term cash flow needs.

However, you need to provide proof of purity and an invoice, and the buyback price will be slightly lower than that of physical stores.

3. Banks and gold shops.

These two places are more formal, and the required procedures are more complicated.

4. Online platforms.

This is basically not considered.

Yu Dazhang returned to his SUV, where the relatively independent and enclosed space allowed him to calm down more easily.

Think differently.

"If I were one of the Tan brothers..."

Of these four channels, only pawnshops can barely meet my needs.

"And it has to be the kind of pawnshop where things can be done behind the scenes."

Organized crime has now disappeared in the country.

Because traditional organized crime groups have long since changed their ways and switched to other industries.

Among these, pawnshops have become one of the most popular businesses among these so-called "socialites".

This industry is very unconventional; those without connections or those who are timid simply cannot sustain this business.

First, we must be bold enough to acquire some tricky items.

The greater the risk, the higher the profit.

Now it's changed; the bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish.

Transactions that don't ask about the source or the owner's identity, but only assess the value of the goods, often result in very low prices.

It is said that in this black market-like transaction, the price can be cut by at least half.

"I will contact the other party in advance and discuss the transaction amount so that the other party can prepare a large amount of cash in advance."

Yu Dazhang placed his right hand on the steering wheel, his index finger tapping rhythmically:

"If sold at half the black market price, it would take 12,500 grams of gold, or 25 jin (12.5 catties), to get 1.5 million in cash."

"The price is too tempting. Even if the other party knows that their actions constitute receiving stolen goods, they will still make the transaction without hesitation."

"The rest is simple. I will have the person who sold the stolen goods divide the money into three parts and give them to the three families in the village respectively, and tell them how to explain the source of the money."

He paused here, and after a while, continued muttering to himself:
"I underestimated it by 500,000. In reality, it's four families. I'll also keep some money for my own family, but I'll personally hand it over to them."

wrong.

Yu Dazhang suddenly discovered a loophole.

1.5 million! What if the person selling the stolen goods gets greedy and runs off with the money?
He thought about the question for a while, then shook his head.

“Those who sell stolen goods wouldn’t dare to pocket the money. Every industry has its own rules, and even the black market values ​​reputation.”

"Furthermore, I will show the other party the remaining gold, giving them the illusion that we can trade in the long term."

"No one is without greed. If you can earn more money while maintaining integrity, everyone knows how to choose."

Having deduced this far, Yu Dazhang suddenly stopped.

What to do with the remaining gold?
The best solution is, of course, to find a place to hide.

Compared to cash, gold has another advantage: it is easier to hide.

Paper money can get moldy from moisture or be eaten by insects, but gold doesn't have these problems. Gold is extremely stable in physical and chemical properties and almost never corrodes or deteriorates in natural environments.

That's not right.

Yu Dazhang frowned, feeling that something was amiss.

They've all been caught and imprisoned, so what's the point of hiding so much gold?
My family definitely won't need it.

It was precisely because they had taken this into account that they left a resettlement allowance for their families.

Is it...

"I see!"

Yu Dazhang's eyes immediately regained their clarity.

Social bird!

These five people are all hardened criminals who have been through the harsh realities of society!

They planned to retrieve the gold after their release from prison, meaning that serving time in prison was also part of their plan.

These bastards are all insane!
They treated the prison as their workplace, and the hidden gold was their reward.

No wonder none of them had any weapons on them.

This can minimize the prison sentence.

The reason for pinning the crime on Tan Mou is that he suffers from depression, which will lead to a lighter or reduced sentence.

What a crazy plan.

The only unexpected turn of events occurred during the kidnapping, when Tan Mou killed Qi Jianhua.

This also left Tan Mou with no way back, so the matter will be completed in his hands from now on.

Tan Mouhui will admit that he was the mastermind and will pin the blame on himself for refusing to pay the ransom.

Perhaps he killed Qi Jianhua intentionally; he truly didn't want to live anymore.

"So they all knew about this plan."

Yu Dazhang suddenly remembered something his instructor had said when he was in police academy.

No one can withstand interrogation unless they are not acting in their own self-interest.

They would keep quiet about receiving 500,000 yuan per family, because it's a sum they're carrying for their loved ones.

There is also hidden gold, which is their hope for the future, and they will grit their teeth for this hope.

Yu Dazhang sighed.

Having worked as a criminal investigator makes a difference; Tan Rui considered every aspect of the interrogation process.

"not enough."

He murmured to himself:

"Gold is not concentrated in one place."

“Before the operation, each of them would choose a place to hide the gold, and then they would only let Tan Rui know about it.”

"After obtaining the gold, Tan Rui hid the remaining gold evenly in the locations they provided."

He became more and more fluent as he spoke:
"In this way, if anyone can't hold on any longer, they will only reveal where they hid their gold, and it won't implicate others."

"Only a plan like this can drive people crazy. There's no such thing as loyalty; everyone is just looking out for themselves."

Would these two brothers even consider this possibility? Various possibilities kept flashing through Yu Dazhang's mind.

definitely will.

In fact, as the interrogation has progressed to this point, none of the five people arrested have revealed the whereabouts of the gold.

This is the only plan that can allow them to withstand the interrogation.

And my deductions were based on their style of doing things.

Then, Yu Dazhang got off the bus and found Lü Zhongxin:

"Master, let's retreat. There's no point in lingering in the village any longer."

He suggested:

"While there's still time, let's investigate all the pawnshops in the vicinity; we might find something unexpected."
