Chapter 34 The Entire Process of the Lost Gold

Li Mubo immediately turned on the body camera hanging on his chest.

Jiang Yanhui asked, "Could you make me a strong cup of tea?"

Li Mubo gestured to his colleague to make tea.

Jiang Yanhui began to speak:

"At the beginning, I was reluctant to take on this sewer renovation project because the overall quote was too low."

But later, someone approached me for a collaboration. He said he believed in feng shui and that his family's business was doing poorly because their luck had been absorbed.

He offered me three million yuan so I could deviate from the construction plans and move the sewers two meters closer to the gold shops, severing their underground "dragon veins" and bringing them bad luck.

I used to work on underground cave excavation projects. After my calculations, I found that moving the sewers two meters towards the locations of those gold shops was actually a very simple thing to do, and there were no side effects.

Of the three million that person gave, one and a half million was an advance payment.

I took one million of it and used it to bribe officials at all levels.

Once those people received the money, they agreed to my new construction plan, which allowed the sewers to pass directly under those gold shops.

At that time, I realized that the person who gave me the money had ulterior motives.

But I never expected that person would be so audacious as to dig straight up from the sewer to steal gold from the jewelry store.

A policeman handed Jiang Yanhui a cup of strong tea.

Jiang Yanhui placed the information about Lao Zhou on the bedside table, took the strong tea with one hand, said "thank you," and took another sip of the strong tea.

Li Mubo frowned slightly and asked, "Do you know the identity of the person you mentioned who gave you money?"

Jiang Yanhui shook his head: "Anyone who can open a gold shop in this chaotic Changfeng City must have a powerful background. How could that person, who dares to do such a despicable thing, possibly let anyone know his true identity? I've always communicated with that person by phone."

"I see. How was that money transferred to your card?"

"I have a dual-currency card that can deposit and withdraw both domestic and foreign currencies at the same time. That money was a foreign currency remittance from overseas," Jiang Yanhui replied.

"Overseas remittances. There's no way to investigate the case based on the source of the funds." Li Mubo's face showed disappointment.

Li Mubo then asked many more detailed questions, which Jiang Yanhui answered one by one.

The answers were all reasonable and there was nothing wrong with them.

Chen Wensheng, who was standing to the side, listened attentively, while recalling what Lao Zhou had said.

Based on Lao Zhou's tone, it can be confirmed that Jiang Yanhui was fully aware of the gold robbery.

Now, Jiang Yanhui claims he was not involved in the gold robbery, but only took money from others to change the excavation path of the sewers.

There is a significant difference between the two.

Chen Wensheng looked at the strong tea in Jiang Yanhui's hand and asked, "Have you always liked strong tea?"

"No...no!" Jiang Yanhui paused for a moment as he spoke.

"So you drink strong tea to calm your mind?"

Jiang Yanhui nodded.

Chen Wensheng said coldly, "Jiang Yanhui, you lied just now."

"What I just said is the truth. If you keep questioning me like this, then there's no point in continuing the conversation." Jiang Yanhui's attitude was very firm.

Chen Wensheng shook his head:

"You're lying. I've seen your profile and I know your personality."

You are the kind of person who bullies the weak and fears the strong. You delay paying the wages of your migrant workers for as long as possible.

But when faced with powerful partners, they immediately pay up.

You'll act like a subservient grandson to those who are of much higher status than you.

This means that you absolutely dare not offend the owners of those three gold shops at the same time.

Therefore, when you decide to undertake this sewer project, you have already carefully weighed the pros and cons.

Judging from your income, you probably wouldn't risk offending three jewelry store owners for a mere three million.

That person must have offered you a price you couldn't refuse.

Therefore, from the moment you took on this sewer renovation project, you knew that it was a project prepared to steal gold.

That person must have given you a really good profit-sharing ratio, right?

While Chen Wensheng was speaking, Jiang Yanhui kept drinking strong tea, taking small sips every now and then.

Chen Wensheng continued to apply psychological pressure, saying, "Sigh! You're still too naive. Do you really think that the 9 of Hearts, who orchestrated everything, will keep his promise? Do you really think you'll get a share of the lost gold? Let me tell you clearly, no! What awaits you next is imprisonment, and you'll probably lose all the wealth you've accumulated."

Jiang Yanhui's mental defenses finally crumbled, and he shouted excitedly, "Impossible! It absolutely can't be like this!"

"Then let me ask you, do you know that this robbery of the gold took place during the construction of the sewers?" Chen Wensheng asked.

Jiang Yanhui seemed to have lost all his strength, shaking his head in utter dejection, and said, "That person told me that he would make his move after the sewer project was completed, some time later. The theft of gold will definitely not involve me."

Li Mubo looked at Jiang Yanhui with shock and said, "You knew from the beginning that altering the sewer excavation route was preparation for stealing gold?"

"Hmm! That person promised me 20% of the gold and even prepaid 1.5 million as initial start-up capital. Looking back now, I was too greedy. This project ruined my family and left me penniless. I promise to fully cooperate with your investigation. My only wish is to find the real culprit who killed my wife!" Jiang Yanhui looked utterly despondent.

Chen Wensheng nodded: "That makes sense. Back then, Lao Zhou said that for such a sensitive sewer renovation project, they weren't even willing to install surveillance cameras around it. Putting aside everything else, even losing one of the excavating machines and tools would be a huge loss. So not installing any surveillance cameras was definitely intentional."

Li Mubo also learned the entire process of the gold case.

"Red Hearts 9 learned of the conflict between Lao Zhou and Jiang Yanhui. So he devised a detailed revenge plan for Lao Zhou and provided the funds needed for the revenge."

However, the 9 of Hearts is not a benevolent person either; he needs something in return for helping Lao Zhou.

After learning that Jiang Yanhui had won the bid for the sewer renovation project on Jingyun Road, Red Peach 9 approached Jiang Yanhui and offered him a large sum of money to secure the project.

They proceeded methodically, stealing a large amount of gold, thus staging a perfect crime.

Chen Wensheng added, "Red Heart Nine has a keen understanding of human nature. He accurately judged Old Zhou's desire for revenge. If Old Zhou were particularly greedy, he would have left Changfeng City long ago and disappeared without a trace. He also understood Jiang Yanhui's greed and knew that Jiang Yanhui would be tempted by profit and agree to participate in this gold theft plan. If any part of this plan goes wrong, it will not succeed."

Li Mubo frowned deeply: "There's another point. Red Heart 9 is too audacious. He gave away 1.5 million yuan without hesitation, before even getting a single penny. How much courage does that take? Red Heart 9 is bold and meticulous; he's not an easy suspect to deal with!"

"However, Red Hearts 9 also misjudged one point, which is that Jiang Yanhui loved his wife Yu Juan very much. If it weren't for Jiang Yanhui's deep feelings for Yu Juan and his desire to prevent his wife from dying an unclear death, Jiang Yanhui would never have admitted it, even if it meant his death."

Li Mubo nodded: "Yes! Now that the whole process of the gold robbery has been clarified, the direction of the subsequent investigation is clearer, and there is still hope to recover the lost gold."

Li Mubo paused mid-sentence, glancing at Jiang Yanhui, "This sewer rerouting project must have been authorized by some corrupt officials in the relevant departments. This means those departments will also bear joint liability, and may even have to compensate for some of the lost gold. This is going to be a difficult situation!"
