Just a few simple jokes.

Zheng Yuandong did not linger and went back to report on this work.

If they can really secure ten million yuan in funding, not only their Hongcheng Bureau, but the entire Hua'an City Bureau will be able to implement the policy of allocating vehicles.

Thinking of Guan Feng's plan to involve the Hua'an Municipal Bureau, the chances of this money succeeding seemed very high.

He returned to the branch office and immediately reported the matter to Director Bai.

Upon hearing this, Director Bai laughed and said, "This young Guan is quite clever!"

Zheng Yuandong asked, "Director Bai, do you think this is feasible?"

Director Bai nodded and said, "Of course it's feasible! These celebrities care most about their public image, and besides, Xiao Guan has a statement. So, I'll report to the city bureau leaders, and we'll try our best to handle this matter perfectly, so that Li Yifeng will donate the money willingly, instead of being forced to do so."

Zheng Yuandong laughed and said, "Regarding this, Xiao Guan specifically mentioned it before we came. He said we could wait until the film crew finishes shooting and hold a donation ceremony, such as to express our gratitude to Hua An for solving the case and clearing the crew's name, or to donate the crew's salary to purchase patrol vehicles or something."

Director Bai laughed and said, "This little Guan has even come up with a reason. Alright! Do as he says. I'll report to the Municipal Bureau."

......

Fragrant Valley Hotel.

Huang Lili brought breakfast.

After a quick meal, the group began investigating the case.

Wang Xun stayed up all night and handed a series of surveillance videos to Guan Feng, saying, "Captain Guan, these are the surveillance videos we reviewed last night. After Liu Qiang withdrew money from one bank card, he deposited it into another bank card."

Guan Feng looked at the screen and asked, "Why did you do that?"

Wang Xun said, "We contacted the cyber police brigade. Liu Qiang was involved in online gambling and was involved in a large case. In addition, he had a lot of debt and was already blacklisted by the bank. The two cards he used belonged to his parents."

Guan Feng said, "This kid is cautious! No wonder we couldn't find any trace of him."

Wang Xun said, "Judging from the current situation, Liu Qiang has been involved in online gambling for some time, and the amount involved is probably not small, so there is a high probability that he committed the crime."

Guan Feng nodded and said, "Okay! I'll leave this matter to Xiang Dong. You go back and rest. Lily and I will take Zhao Yu's statement first."

Wang Xun said, "Okay, Captain, call me this afternoon."

......

Meeting room.

Photographer Zhao Yu was invited over.

Guan Feng said with a serious expression, "Zhao Yu, you should know what you've done, right?"

Zhao Yu's expression changed slightly, and he shook his head nervously, saying, "W-what is it? I don't know."

Guan Feng said, "Still trying to hide it? We already have solid evidence of your affair with Liu Qiang. Are you going to resist to the end?"

Zhao Yu's expression changed again, and he swallowed hard, saying, "I...I have nothing to do with this. I...I was just playing around."

Guan Feng followed up by asking, "Just playing around? That's still participation! You just need to explain the issues, and we'll handle the rest ourselves."

Zhao Yu sighed, "Sigh, I should have refused him. Actually, he was involved in online gambling, and I just played a few rounds with him. I didn't even download the software. Really, I just transferred money to him to buy the tickets for me. Is that illegal?"

Guan Feng said seriously, "What do you think? Participating in gambling is illegal. As long as you transfer money, it constitutes a de facto commission. Even if you didn't download it, you're still participating. However, if you're willing to cooperate with our investigation, we might grant you some immunity, that is, not prosecute you and exempt you from punishment."

"real?"

"certainly!"

Zhao Yu hurriedly replied, "Then I will definitely cooperate! I will definitely cooperate!"

Guan Feng asked, "First, explain clearly how you got involved. Also, regarding Liu Qiang, how long has he been playing this? Approximately how much money has he lost?"

Zhao Yu sighed and said, "I've been playing for about a month or so. This time when I came to Hongcheng to film, Liu Qiang said he was doing well and made several hundred yuan a night guessing the score. So I got the idea to play, but I didn't expect to lose most of the time. I stopped playing after a few times. On the contrary, Liu Qiang got a little addicted. I've tried to persuade him several times, but he won't listen. I estimate he's lost hundreds of thousands!"

Guan Feng asked, "So many?"

Zhao Yu said, "At least! He lost more than 100,000 yuan in one night. When I saw him the next morning, his eyes were bloodshot. I advised him not to continue like this, because it would be easy for him to get into trouble if he continued like this, but he was so desperate that he wouldn't listen to me at all."

Guan Feng then reminded him, "It's not just sooner or later, it's already happened!"

"ah?"

Zhao Yu asked in surprise, "Did he commit a crime?"

Guan Feng said, "Gambling is like theft, and deceit is close to murder. When you lose desperately and want to win back your losses, what will you do if you don't have enough money? Naturally, you will think of stealing. This is an inevitable result. Think back carefully, has he done anything unusual during this period?"

Zhao Yu seemed to realize something, his expression changed, but he quickly composed himself and shook his head, saying, "No, nothing."

Guan Feng reminded him, "Zhao Yu, you participated in Liu Qiang's gambling case. According to relevant laws, you could be sentenced to up to three years in prison. We are giving you a chance to reform. Are you sure you want to cover for the other party?"

Zhao Yu sighed, "I...I'll confess!"

Guan Feng warned, "There can be no hiding anything, or don't blame us for being impolite."

Zhao Yu nodded and said, "Of course! I hate him to death too. If he hadn't dragged me into this, would I have lost thousands of dollars? I still feel the pinch."

Guan Feng said, "First, explain the details of the case."

Zhao Yu recalled: "A couple of nights ago, Liu Qiang lost several thousand yuan and asked me to drink with him and borrow money. I said, 'Brother, do I look like I have money? I'm henpecked, and I lost all the several thousand yuan I had on me in these few gambling sessions. Where am I going to get money?'"

"He told me to take out an online loan, and that he would pay the interest on the loan. He also said that he would have money soon and could pay me back five or ten times the amount. At the time, I just thought he was drunk, but now that I think about it, he might be doing something else!"

Guan Feng asked, "Has the other party done anything strange lately? Or have you seen him carrying a briefcase?"

Zhao Yu recalled, "Now that you mention it, I remember. The day before yesterday or the day before that, he went to pick up a package."

Guan Feng asked, "How big?"

Zhao Yu gestured, "About this big."

Guan Feng's expression immediately hardened.

Its size is about the same as a suitcase.

He asked, "Can you tell what's inside?"

Zhao Yu said, "I asked out of curiosity, but Liu Qiang was vague and only said it was a box, without saying anything else."

Guan Feng nodded, asked a few more questions, and then said, "These questions are crucial. Please cooperate with our investigation in the conference room for now. But don't worry, we will release you after we have finished examining Liu Qiang."

Zhao Yu asked nervously, "You kept your promise to me, right?"

Huang Lili said, "Don't worry, since our captain said so, he will definitely keep his word."

Zhao Yu said, "Alright, I'll sit here and wait for your triumphant return."
