Reception room.
The air was frozen solid.
Wang Tao stared intently at Qin Fang.
Qin Fang struggled and said, "Wang Tao, please help me this time, okay?"
Wang Tao refused, saying, "I've said it! This time it's either him or me! I will not back down! Two hundred thousand! That's no small amount! Who knows how much he's already lost! Aren't you most concerned about your mother? What about the surgery? Have you thought about that?"
He looked at Guan Feng and asked, "Officer Guan, how much of that 200,000 is left now?"
Guan Feng said, "He hadn't even had a chance to sit down at the table before the money was stolen."
Wang Tao was stunned: "What did you say? It was stolen?"
Guan Feng nodded.
Wang Tao's expression held a mixture of anger and a sense of complete relief.
He looked at his wife, his anger turning into a mocking laugh: "Qin Fang, Qin Fang, is this the good older brother you've been longing for? I'm not going to get involved in this anymore! You can try to understand, but we'll get a divorce after the surgery!"
After saying that, Wang Tao stormed out.
Qin Fang was left alone on the chair, crying in disbelief.
Guan Feng felt no sympathy upon seeing this scene. The other party was clearly also a victim, and this outcome could only be described as self-inflicted.
However, Guan Feng wouldn't be so extreme as to think that Qin Fang deserved it.
The experiences of a person's childhood often take a lifetime to heal.
Qin Fang's personality was not formed overnight; it was the result of years of nurturing.
He patted Huang Lili on the shoulder, gesturing for her to go over and comfort her.
Fifteen minutes later.
Qin Fang walked over with tears streaming down her face.
Guan Feng asked, "Have you thought it through?"
Qin Fang nodded, then hesitated and said, "I...I still want to sign the letter of understanding."
Guan Feng seemed to have already guessed this answer. He called Wang Xun to bring the letter of understanding and explained, "Once you sign it, the case of your lost money is completely solved."
Qin Fang asked in surprise, "But the money hasn't come back yet?"
Guan Feng's eyes turned cold as he explained, "We will continue to pursue the money back, after all, 200,000 is not a small amount. But that's a separate case, the theft case of your brother. Since you lent him that money, it's his money, right?"
Qin Fang was stunned. She looked at the group and asked, "But what about my mother's illness? If we can't get the money back, she can't have the surgery."
Guan Feng said with a serious expression, "We understand the situation. First, we will solve the case as soon as possible to avoid delaying your mother's surgery, but solving a case takes time, and no one can say for sure. Second, I suggest you find another way to pay for the surgery. After all, your brother borrowed the money and went to the casino, not for the surgery, right?"
Qin Fang was completely stunned; she hadn't expected this outcome.
Seeing this, Guan Feng did not urge him.
A moment later.
Seeing that the group was adamant, Qin Fang had no choice but to nod and sign the papers as if she had no other option.
Guan Feng carefully put away the letter of understanding and asked Huang Lili to take a photo for record-keeping.
Better safe than sorry!
They saw Qin Fang off.
Guan Feng returned to his office.
He briefly summarized the case, saying, "From what we can see, Qin Wei doesn't seem to be forging anything, nor does he have any reason to. So, assuming the 200,000 yuan has been stolen, we need to recover the money as soon as possible. Xiang Dong and Wang Xun, you two are on duty tonight. You must determine Qin Wei's route, especially when exactly the money was lost!"
"yes!"
"receive!"
Both of them nodded.
Guan Feng then returned to his office and dialed Chen Yao's number.
As a police officer.
Their every move was being watched.
There might even be informants for those habitual offenders at the convenience store near the branch office.
But Chen Yao is different!
This is a hidden card.
It can be surprisingly effective at crucial moments.
When Chen Yao received Guan Feng's call, he asked excitedly, "Team Leader Guan, is there something you need?"
"There is indeed a case that requires your help!"
"Really? That's wonderful! Tell me, what case is it? I've been preparing for this day for a long time!"
Hearing the other party's tone, Guan Feng laughed and said, "Don't get excited! It's just a theft case. Isn't there an underground casino near the highway exit in the east of the city?"
Chen Yao nodded and said, "I've heard about it! What? Are we going to take him down?"
Guan Feng said, "It's not the right time yet! Last night, someone went there to gamble and 200,000 yuan in cash was stolen. Can you ask the people in the underworld for me if someone stole it? Who exactly did it? Find out for me. You can decide the details yourself, but be careful to protect yourself."
He figured that the person who dared to steal 200,000, especially right at the casino entrance, was definitely a veteran! They couldn't possibly be nobody in the underworld. Once they made a fuss, it would be perfect to capture them.
Chen Yao said excitedly, "Don't worry, Captain Guan, leave this to me. I'll find all the habitual thieves in Hongcheng!"
Guan Feng nodded and encouraged him, "Okay! I'll be waiting for your good news."
After hanging up the phone, Guan Feng returned to his seat. The first theft case was closed, and he reported the details to Zheng Yuandong.
When I learned that the 200,000 yuan had actually been taken by my brother-in-law.
Even though Zheng Yuandong had handled many cases, he was still somewhat astonished.
"This brother-in-law is really something... His own mother needs surgery, and he actually uses the money to try and recoup his losses? But Guan Feng, the thieves in Hongcheng have been quite rampant lately! In the past month, the bureau has received no less than two hundred reports of various types of thefts. The city bureau leaders even mentioned it last week. Shouldn't we crack down on this when we can?"
Guan Feng said, "I will unconditionally obey the organization's arrangements!"
Zheng Yuandong laughed and said, "You kid! Okay, I'll take care of this. If it's a real crackdown, all the branches will be working together. You go ahead and investigate. If Qin Fang causes trouble, I'll handle it!"
Guan Feng nodded.
