The police did not beat around the bush and directly pointed out who placed the USB drive.
——The head of Kumho’s subsidiary and also Lu Meishu’s fellow villager!
This person was arrested immediately after Xie Qian called the police, even earlier than the police took Xie Jinghu away.
But this person has not explained anything to the police until now.
Faced with overwhelming evidence, the person in charge remained silent.
After several days of interrogation, there was no breakthrough. Regardless of the physical and mental torture, the person in charge endured it... He looked very ordinary, no different from other managers who would lose hair, gain weight and become greasy in middle age, but he was a tough guy who could withstand the police interrogation!
If the police had not checked many surveillance videos near Zhang Hua's home for comparison and confirmed that it was this person in charge who placed the USB flash drive containing the subsidiary's accounts at the door of Zhang Hua's home, it would have felt like they had found the wrong person.
Zhang Hua fell silent again.
The police have spent a lot of time dealing with Zhang Hua in the past few days and gradually got to know Zhang Hua's character.
If Zhang Hua didn't know this "fellow villager", he would deny it immediately.
Since Zhang Hua didn't deny it, that means they know each other.
Zhang Hua knew that the other party was Lu Meishu's fellow villager, but for some reason he didn't want to identify him. Just like Zhang Hua knew that there was something wrong with Zhang Zhijun, it was probably all due to emotional involvement.
Faced with Zhang Hua's silence, the police officer remained sharp, "We already apprehended this person in charge. Regardless of whether you claim to know him or not, he couldn't have escaped legal action once the police got their hands on the USB drive. Since you've seen the account information on the USB drive, you should know the smuggling involved in this case is enormous!"
It can be said that Xie Jinghu failed to supervise the subsidiaries effectively. As the chairman of Kumho Group, Xie Jinghu handed over the business of the subsidiaries to his subordinates, and he was only responsible for the general direction.
Then the person in charge who directly manages the subsidiary will not be able to claim that he was simply negligent in his duties.
Over the years, so many abnormal import and export transactions have occurred right under the nose of the person in charge. How could he not know about it?
Without the signature of the person in charge, it is impossible for the smuggled goods to enter or leave the warehouse.
Moreover, it was this person who delivered the irregular accounts of the subsidiary to Zhang Hua's doorstep, so this person was obviously an insider. Or to put it more bluntly, this person was a key figure in the entire smuggling chain and was the "kingpin" pushed to the forefront by the smuggling gang!
This is also what the police cannot figure out.
Why did the person in charge give the USB flash drive to Zhang Hua?
The accounts in the USB flash drive cannot directly convict Zhang Zhijun, but they can convict the person in charge.
How desperate must the person in charge be to hand over the evidence of his crime to someone else?
Could it be that the person in charge was sure that Zhang Hua would not call the police, so he gave the USB flash drive to Zhang Hua?
It couldn't be that the person in charge had been engaged in smuggling for many years and suddenly felt guilty, so he gave the USB flash drive to Zhang Hua, hoping to use Zhang Hua's hand to expose the smuggling crime - wouldn't it be faster to hand it directly to the police? Sending it to Zhang Hua would be a big detour.
The police still tend to believe that the person in charge thought Zhang Hua would not call the police.
Not only because the person in charge is Lu Meishu's fellow villager, but also because of Zhang Hua's own identity. He is the son of Zhang Zhijun. In the eyes of that person in charge, Zhang Hua is trustworthy.
Zhang Hua could send his mother's fellow villager to jail, but he wouldn't send his biological father Zhang Zhijun to jail as well, right?
Father and son are family, but there are very few people in this world who can "sacrifice their relatives for the sake of justice." The vast majority of people will not report their relatives breaking the law immediately after learning about it. Driven by emotions, most people will help their relatives cover up for the crime, and some people will turn a blind eye and pretend to be ignorant even if they don't help cover up.
The policeman observed Zhang Hua's expression and said seriously, "According to our analysis, the person in charge placed the USB drive at your doorstep as a test for you, but also as an invitation."
Once Zhang Hua withstood this "test" and did not choose to call the police after looking at the subsidiary's accounts, the next step would be to invite Zhang Hua to join the smuggling and become a member of this criminal gang!
Zhang Hua did not call the police.
The reason for not calling the police was not just because Zhang Hua was afraid of wrongly accusing the Xie family as he said at the beginning, but also because -
The police's voice rang out again in the quiet room, every word, every pause, like a sharp knife. "This person in charge is not only from the same hometown as your mother, Lu Meishu, but also from the Lu family. The reason why the subsidiary of 'Jinhu' was able to set up a business platform to cover up smuggling in such a short time is not because of Xie Jinghu's good fortune, but because this subsidiary hired the most professional 'manager' from the beginning. If you hand over the USB drive to the police, not only will 'Jinhu' and the Xie family be in trouble, but your mother's family will also be in trouble."
The Lu family started smuggling many years ago.
Before the police could crack down on the smuggling gang headed by the Lu family, the Lu family collapsed first.
It seemed the Lu family's failure to manage their subordinates had led to the internal strife and collapse of the entire smuggling ring, severely damaging the Lu family. The Xie family had long suspected Zhang Zhijun of being unscrupulous, as he was known to be a clean man. The Xie family eventually traced the case back to the Lu family, only to discover that nearly all of the family's core members had perished, leaving only the lame Lu Boss. The Lu family's smuggling channels had long since disbanded, and their leads had essentially dried up at this point.
The Xie family suspected that the Lu family's smuggling channels were taken over by Zhang Zhijun, but the Xie family had no evidence.
This time, when Xie Yuping heard that the USB flash drive's accounting problem was directed at Jinhu, he not only asked Xie Qian to call the police immediately, but also included the Xie family's private investigation into Zhang Zhijun and the things he had learned about the Lu family in his own material.
