There was less than a week left before the dinner, and Xie Wan had a lot to prepare.
The members of the first group of the special office have been working all night for three consecutive days. Xie Wan asked them to check the Li family from the direct line to the side branches, especially the key members who hold Li shares, to find out if there is anything abnormal about them recently.
At this time, the main members of the first group were crowded in Xie Wan's office for a meeting.
“Director, this time the old lady of the Li family is holding a charity auction mainly to donate money for the 6.5-magnitude earthquake that occurred near Sumatra Island in Indonesia a few days ago.
I found out that Mrs. Li lived in Indonesia for a period of time when she was young and she was a devout Buddhist.
In this earthquake, the 22-meter-tall Guanyin statue at the Metta Tzu Chi Guanyin Temple in Indonesia suffered some damage.
Madam Li auctioned off some of her jewelry to raise funds, mainly to repair the Guanyin statue.
Zhang Hanlin reports to Xie Wan.
Zhou Chuang has been following Madam Li and the main members of the Second House these past two days. He nodded and said, "I have asked the servants of the Second House. Madam Li doesn't usually care about the family business. She has built a small Buddhist temple at home and worships Buddha every day. Recently, the old lady caught a cold and has been bedridden for many days. She still organizes such charity. She is really pious!"
Although there are fewer Buddhists in China after ten years of the movement, people still maintain a certain degree of tolerance and respect for devout religious believers, especially the elderly.
Xie Wan sat on the soft leather sofa chair, trying to make his waist feel more comfortable.
The sofa cushion was very soft, and there was a slightly rough seam line. Normally, the buttocks should not be able to feel it, but Xie Wan's psychology took effect, and for no reason he felt that the seam line was a bit uncomfortable.
Forget it. Money is tight. It would be a shame to throw away such a nice sofa chair. After finding out the truth, it shouldn’t be annoying anymore.
“I heard that this old lady was a devout Buddhist because after she married into the Li family, she discovered that the family’s wealth was accumulated on piles of bones, and she began to believe in Buddhism out of fear of retribution?
He is so old and cherishes his life the most. He is sick and wants to hold this charity dinner. Don’t you think it’s a little strange?”
Xu Bing understood Xie Wan's subtext the best. With his straight-forward personality, he could not identify with the various charity shows of the rich people in Hong Kong. So he immediately reacted and asked, "Director, what you mean is that the old lady of the Li family may have discovered something and is feeling uneasy, so she is eager to do something to find peace of mind?"
Xie Wan moved her hips, placed her hands on the table, tapped her knuckles lightly, and asked Xu Bing, "Have you found the person who was listening to the bug that was taken out of Nie Xiaoshuai's office?"
Xu Bing shook his head: "The other party rented an apartment in the building next door to monitor the situation. When we arrived, they had already escaped.
We learned from the owner that the apartment had been rented out for three years. We obtained the tenant's information, but after verification, we found that he used a fake identity.
We visited the neighbors in the apartment and they said that the tenants of that apartment rarely go out, but it is certain that two young men once lived there. "
Xie Wan sighed. She was just attracted to Nie Xiaoshuai's sofa chair at that time. She found a bug hidden in the cushion, but she was used to being cautious with the things she used.
The other party must have heard her conversation with Nie Xiaoshuai and ran away early.
Nie Xiaoshuai said that the chair was purchased by the office director of China Resources. That office director has been isolated for investigation. So far, the only finding was that she took some kickbacks from suppliers when she was in charge of purchasing office supplies.
Wang Hanlin added: "I have checked the bug, it is the latest type of eavesdropping equipment from MI6, it does not rely on batteries to power the bug, it only relies on air vibrations to power the bug.
In other words, as long as someone sits on this chair, the eavesdropping device can be charged and the radio waves can be emitted.
This kind of eavesdropping device is difficult to detect using ordinary detection instruments."
Xie Wan thought it was amazing, and said to Xu Bing: "Remember to send this bug back to China. MI6 is the UK's external intelligence agency, and it is normal for them to monitor China Resources.
We also need to check carefully and be careful when buying anything so as not to let the enemy take advantage of us."
One team member asked, "Director, could it be that the enemy used this eavesdropping device to learn about the China Resources cargo and then framed the suspect with drugs?"
Xie Wan shook his head, “I don’t think MI6 is that rich that they would frame us with ten kilograms of cocaine.
But they may have told this information to certain people.
As to whether the person who told the smugglers was the informer, we still need to investigate.”
Wang Hanlin's eyes lit up and he pressed the issue, "Director, do you think there are two groups of people, one using the Chaoyang to smuggle drugs, and the other group snitching to trick China Resources? That's right, so the other party's motives make sense."
Xie Wan smiled and gave Wang Hanlin an approving look. This was mutual appreciation between smart people.
She analyzed: “From the current information, we can assume that there are two waves of people.
As for the drug smuggling, I am more inclined to believe that it is related to the Lee family, not only because of their criminal record, but also because of this inappropriate charity dinner held by Mrs. Lee.
Think about it, there was a big flood in the port city last year, and so many poor people were affected. However, this old lady did not take any action at that time, but just devoted herself to worshiping Buddha in her Buddhist temple.
At this moment, a Buddha statue in Indonesia was damaged, but she still organized a charity dinner despite her illness to raise funds for the sale of the statue.
