Liu Fusheng, a newly recruited police officer, actually said in a meeting of this magnitude that he wanted to teach a criminal investigation captain!
This is too crazy!
The conference room was completely silent. Hu Zhenhua's lips trembled with anger, and he stared at Liu Fusheng with a dark face.
Under everyone's gaze, Liu Fusheng pointed to the case briefing in front of him and said, "Excuse me, Captain Hu, how much money is involved in this fraud case?"
Hu Zhenhua took a deep breath and said, "According to the statistics of the victims who have reported the case so far, the amount is at least over one billion!"
Liu Fusheng nodded. "Ten billion in funds were quickly laundered, and the handling fee is roughly 50%. In the entire Liaonan City, how many companies can absorb 500 million in funds? Why did you start your investigation with a base of tens of thousands of companies in the city?"
This question was very sharp, but Hu Zhenhua was certainly prepared.
"Although there are not many companies that can digest 500 million yuan in funds, there are countless ways to launder fraudulent funds. Some companies are small in scale, but they have relevant qualifications in finance, foreign trade, etc. Such companies can also launder huge amounts of funds in a short period of time in financial and trade operations! Moreover, we cannot completely rule out the suspicion of multiple shell companies laundering money in a dispersed manner! You don't even understand this, and you still have the nerve to ask me?" Hu Zhenhua said.
Including Li Wenbo, all the participants nodded in agreement. Investigating a case is not something that can be taken for granted. It requires extremely detailed considerations and must consider countless possibilities in order to cover all aspects!
Liu Fusheng smiled faintly. "What Captain Hu said is mostly correct, but there are two points that are wrong. First, you don't correctly understand the nature of this fraud. This fraud is clearly supported by the protection of relevant government departments. Otherwise, it would be impossible to obtain so many procedures and documents that are so realistic, and most of them are almost identical to many relevant policies issued later. Because of this, this scam has convinced so many people."
After saying this, Liu Fusheng paused to give everyone present time to think.
A moment later, there was indeed a commotion in the conference room! The aspects Liu Fusheng mentioned had indeed been discovered before, but no one had analyzed them so specifically!
But Liu Fusheng was just a newcomer, only a few days into the job. How did he come up with so many ideas? Was there someone with great expertise behind the scenes?
Li Wenbo looked at Liu Fusheng meaningfully, feeling a little complicated.
Hu Zhenhua's expression was also somewhat unnatural. He frowned and said, "But, you also said that those documents were forged! The relevant departments have already clearly clarified this point!"
"The matter was able to be clarified because those protective umbrellas were very cautious and cleaned up the clues very thoroughly. Didn't the leader of the fraud gang, Yu Xiaoqiang, get wind of the incident before the crime and simply disappeared out of thin air? This just proves that there are big problems with our internal officials!" Liu Fusheng said lightly.
Hu Zhenhua was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Even if you are right, what does this have to do with the company's investigation?"
Liu Fusheng smiled faintly and said, "This is my second point. Once it's clear that the fraud gang has a protective umbrella, what is the operating method that the umbrella least wants to see, or what is the method they most want to see?"
This time, Li Wenbo spoke up. "Assuming this person's protection is high-ranking, then what he least wants is too many people involved in the incident, or too many links, as this would greatly increase the risk of exposure! What he most wants is to pocket the stolen money as quickly as possible, and then enjoy and squander it after his retirement."
Liu Fusheng applauded and said, "Leader, you're right! This case happened so suddenly that they don't have the luxury of laundering the money slowly! Therefore, they can only operate through large companies within their gang that have the ability to launder large amounts of money quickly! It's precisely because of this that Captain Hu's previous plan to start with a wide-ranging investigation of tens of thousands of companies was completely futile!"
At this point, Liu Fusheng looked at Hu Zhenhua with a half-smile and said, "So, when I said that the First Brigade didn't do anything in the past half month, was that wrong?"
"This..." Hu Zhenhua's face suddenly turned red!
He was also a seasoned criminal investigator, so he didn't need Liu Fusheng to explain it in such detail; with just a few simple hints, he'd already figured out the logic! But being confronted by a rookie who'd only been on the job for a few days in a meeting personally chaired by the director was incredibly humiliating!
Fortunately, Fu Kaiming, the political commissar of the Criminal Investigation Detachment, promptly smoothed things over and said with a smile, "Comrade Liu Fusheng's analysis makes perfect sense, and I completely agree with it! But we can't say that Comrade Hu Zhenhua and so many comrades from the First Brigade have done nothing! After all, our principle in handling cases is to not miss any possibility or detail!"
The rest of the people immediately cooperated and nodded in agreement. Only then did Hu Zhenhua's expression finally look better.
But now, he no longer dared to underestimate this. Liu Fusheng, who was sitting opposite him and talking calmly in front of so many leaders, was here!
Not only is Liu Fusheng incredible, he understands the case so clearly, but his analysis is even more thorough than that of a seasoned detective! This guy is incredible! No wonder he dared to attend the meeting in Dong Kui's place!
After using his language and abilities to intimidate everyone including Hu Zhenhua, Liu Fusheng did not show any smugness on his face.
He said calmly, "I know that the more we analyze this case, the deeper it becomes. The level of involvement may even exceed the scope of our city bureau's investigative authority. So I need to ask Director Li first, if this situation really happens, how will it be handled?"
In fact, everyone present has noticed this.
Liu Fusheng was not the first person to bring up the word "protective umbrella", but he was the one who analyzed it most thoroughly and reasonably.
In other words, after Liu Fusheng finished his analysis, he knew that there was almost certainly a powerful behind-the-scenes protector behind this case! And the rank of this protector must be quite high!
Under these circumstances, many who had originally wanted to fight for the right to investigate the case had already begun to back off. There was an unwritten rule in the officialdom: you only swim as deep as you can. If you weren't a good swimmer, even if you knew what was underwater, you were doomed to drown!
Everyone's eyes turned to Li Wenbo, waiting for the director who had just been airlifted to southern Liaoning to speak.
Li Wenbo paused for a moment, then said solemnly, "Regarding Comrade Liu Fusheng's question, I only want to say one thing: there is no limit to punishing evildoers and eliminating evil."
Everyone gasped when they heard this. They found that when Director Li Wenbo said this, he actually had a kind of determination like Zuo Zongtang who carried his coffin to fight the bandits!
Director Li is going to fight to the death!
After Li Wenbo finished speaking, he glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice, "The purpose of holding this meeting today is to reaffirm our determination to solve the case! And to issue a military order! I have already issued a military order to the provincial department to solve the case within two months! If the case cannot be solved, I will accept the provincial department's investigation! So, shouldn't you also give me an explanation? Comrade Hu Zhenhua, what are your thoughts on this?"
"I..."
Hearing this, the corners of Hu Zhenhua's mouth twitched unconsciously and his scalp felt a little numb.
