Next.
The space next to the finance office was temporarily requisitioned as an interrogation room.
Guan Feng sat in the main seat.
Huang Lili was in charge of recording with the dashcam.
Li Xiangdong was responsible for... staring at each other blankly.
Guan Feng asked in fluent Mandarin, "When did this 2 million yuan in cash go missing?"
Henry thought for a moment and said, "Last night, around 5:30, we made an appointment with the bank. The company car picked us up and dropped us off at 6:00. We then put the money in the finance office, and afterwards Richard and I went to dinner."
Who were the people who went in and out of this finance office at that time?
"Mr. Xu Qingxiu, Ms. Lin Bei, and I usually handle financial matters as a group of three."
Guan Feng nodded and found two more names on the roster: Xu Qingxiu, the Chinese financial manager, and Lin Bei, the cashier.
Guan Feng asked, "Did you go in and out of the finance office again after that?"
Henry shook his head and said, "You suspect I stole that money? No way! We're friends; you should have basic trust in your friends!"
Guan Feng shook his head and explained, "I'm not doubting you, it's just a routine inquiry; besides, we police only care about evidence, not personal feelings. We will neither wrong an innocent person nor let a guilty person go free."
Henry shrugged and sighed, "Okay, Guan, that's not what I meant. I did come back once later, but I only signed a financial document and didn't go in or out of the finance office again. I stayed for less than twenty minutes. Guan! I really didn't need to steal that money. I earn more than a million a year."
Guan Feng frowned.
More than a million?
That's equivalent to two hundred thousand US dollars.
This income does indeed reduce the likelihood of the other party stealing.
However, he still asked, "Based on your understanding, who else knows where this money went?"
Henry thought for a moment and said, "Besides me, the only people in the entire finance department are those two Chinese. Only the driver knows about it."
Guan Feng asked, "As far as I know, this money is for paying salaries. Is it possible that someone knew about it beforehand?"
"impossible!"
Henry shook his head and said, "The cash was withdrawn earlier this time. I'm flying back to the United States the day after tomorrow on business, so I withdrew the cash in advance and will hand it over to the finance department for distribution next week. Therefore, apart from us, no one knows about it."
At this point, Henry complained, "I really don't understand why anyone would still prefer this old-fashioned way of receiving a salary in cash in the 21st century. If it weren't for this, theft would never have happened!"
Guan Feng listened to Henry's complaints.
I roughly understand where the other person's resistance came from.
He then asked a few more questions.
Henry answered them one by one.
A moment later.
Guan Feng closed the folder and nodded, saying, "Alright, that's all for now. You can go back, but you must not leave Hongcheng during this period."
Henry was overjoyed when he heard the first part of the sentence, but immediately shook his head when he heard the second part, saying, "Shut up! Is there really no way? I'm going back next week, that was arranged a long time ago."
Guan Feng shook his head and said, "You are now involved in a criminal case and must cooperate with the investigation first. If it is official business, that is also fine. We will help you issue a certificate to explain to your company why you cannot go back, and I believe they will cooperate."
Henry shrugged and sighed, "No need! It's just cooperating, right? I'll do it! Guan! You're my good brother! I trust you won't harm me, won't you?"
After saying that, he winked to show his goodwill.
Guan Feng pretended not to see it and waved for Henry to leave.
Huang Lili asked, "Team leader, what did you all just say?"
Guan Feng briefly translated the conversation.
Huang Lili said, "So, only these four people are suspects?"
Guan Feng nodded and said, "At present, apart from the bank staff, only these four people are suspects! Liu Shengguo, go and retrieve the bank's surveillance footage, as well as the surveillance footage along the route after Haitian Factory's commercial vehicle left the bank, and see if there are any abnormalities!"
"yes!"
Liu Shengguo nodded immediately.
