January 16th, today is the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the Little New Year. After work in the afternoon, Bai Song bought two bottles of good wine and went to his master's house to celebrate the Little New Year.
These ten days were the most leisurely days for Bai Song. Therefore, Bai Song was in a very good spirit. He hummed a little tune and knocked on the door of his master's house.
"Why did you spend money again?" Sun Tang took the wine from Bai Song's hand and saw that Bai Song wanted to explain, "I must have bought it with money. Don't tell me someone gave you a gift!"
"Ah? Master, no, it's from Lao Luo in our jurisdiction. I asked him to bring me two bottles of wine. I admit that I bought them. It's just the New Year's Eve! It's not like I don't earn a salary as an apprentice. You can't just not let me show my filial piety, right?" Bai Song was smiling.
"Okay, this won't happen again. Next time you bring something, don't say I stopped you from entering the house." Sun Tang took the wine: "Fenjiu from 2004? Well, this won't happen again, this won't happen again..."
"Hehe..." Bai Song quickly took off his coat, changed into slippers and went to the kitchen to help his master's wife.
Sun Tang's wife works in a library. She is a very nice person. She was cooking her specialty dish at the moment. When she saw Bai Song coming in, she immediately drove Bai Song out and told him to go out and chat with the master. This was Bai Song's third visit to the master's house, so he was not restrained. Sun Tang's daughter was in junior high school now, so Bai Song ran over to check her homework.
The little junior sister’s academic performance was pretty good, except for her lack of physics. Bai Song happened to have a good foundation in high school physics, and he solved several of her doubts in a short time.
After about twenty minutes, Sun Tang walked in and called Bai Song over. He had something to say to Bai Song.
"What is it, Master?"
"Well, I just remembered that you asked me to help you look into why Mr. Sun owed so much money. I recently asked a few people for you. Some people said that he lost money in gambling."
"Gambling?" Bai Song was a little confused: "This Sun seems to be a businessman, how come he is gambling so big?"
"It's hard to say. When it comes to gambling, anything is possible. Anyone can gamble. I have met many good people who have lost their families and lives due to gambling. Among them are civil servants, entrepreneurs, and minor celebrities." Sun Tang was not surprised by this.
"But I haven't seen any similar transfer records in Sun's transfer records over the years."
"Are you sure you've finished reading it all?" Sun Tang asked.
"Yeah, I'm sure."
"Then tell me, why did his funding chain break?"
"Hmm?" Bai Song was stunned by the question: "Can you tell this?"
"Yes, why not?"
"But," Bai Song hesitated, "I feel that Sun used cash to transact a lot of his money. Cash was used quite frequently from 2006 to 2008. Now that Sun is dead, there is no way to ask him about it."
As the two were chatting, the master's wife came over and called them and their sister-in-law to eat.
"Well, let's go and eat first." Sun Tang got up from the sofa and said, "You can actually open your mind a little more. You have plenty of resources around you."
"You mean, we should ask Master Yu?" Bai Song followed Sun Tang to the dining table.
"What?" Sun Tang didn't consider that Bai Song's train of thought had reached this level. "What does this have to do with Old Yu? I'm talking about Sun's wife."
"Ah? That's right!" Bai Song suddenly realized that he was so busy thinking that Sun's wife was a suspect that he forgot the simplest truth. "Yes, yes, yes, I will go back tonight and interrogate Sun's wife."
"No, there's no rush for this tonight. How can you interrogate someone so late at night? You still need to get the leader's signature. It's not too late to go tomorrow. I know you don't drink much recently, but don't think you can just hide away like this." Sun Tang looked around and leaned close to Bai Song's ear: "If you don't drink, how can I drink? Your sister-in-law usually keeps a close eye on me."
"Okay, okay, I must listen to what the master says." Bai Song couldn't help but want to laugh. The master wanted to drink and didn't even recognize his seniority...
While eating, Bai Song had a video call with his parents and they wished each other a Happy New Year. The night passed quickly.
The next day, as soon as he got to work, Bai Song ran to Captain Sun's office and applied to interrogate Sun's wife. Captain Sun agreed without asking any questions. Bai Song took Wang Huadong directly to the detention center.
When Bai Song saw Sun's wife, he was surprised to find that she looked okay.
"Officer Bai, are you here to see me or do you have something to talk to me about?" Sun's wife's expression was calm.
"I can't tell, you're living better in here than I thought." Bai Song said.
"It's okay, I feel pretty stable. The only person I'm worried about is Xiaohui. By the way, Officer Bai, how is my daughter doing recently? Have you heard about it?" The woman's expression showed concern.
"Not bad. I talked to her a few days ago when I went to serve her the arrest warrant. She seems to be open-minded. Also, I think she has started to study seriously recently."
"Really?" The woman's expression showed surprise, but then she suddenly became sad. "If she can finish college peacefully, the money I left for her should be enough. But if she wants to study for a bachelor's degree and then take the postgraduate entrance examination, ah..."
"Don't sigh. I'm going to ask you a question. Please answer truthfully. OK?"
When the woman heard this, she lowered her head, used her handcuffed hands to tidy up her appearance, sat up straight and replied: "Officer Bai, ask me anything, I won't hide anything."
"It's not that exaggerated. I just want to ask you, Mr. Sun, why did he make such a good company into such a mess?"
"Oh, this question, ah..." The woman seemed to have opened the scars of a sad story: "We said outside that Lao Sun went to Australia City to play and lost hundreds of thousands of dollars. In fact... he was cheated."
"Being cheated? Can you tell me in detail?" Bai Song immediately became interested.
"Lao Sun didn't tell me the details. What I know is that when Lao Sun was doing business, he usually transferred money to others and they would deliver the goods. Clothes production also requires raw materials, and Lao Sun also has fixed partners. Later, one time, he met a company with better product quality but the same price. Lao Sun was very happy and kept buying from them." The woman said in a breath: "Lao Sun said that this company was also a big company. One year, at the end of the year, the company had a batch of very good quality goods that were in a hurry to sell. Originally, Lao Sun couldn't take such a large batch of goods, but it was indeed cheap... He couldn't resist the temptation, and he had cooperated with them several times, so he transferred 1.2 million yuan at one time. Moreover, Lao Sun confirmed that the goods were loaded, but the goods never arrived."
"1.2 million? How was it transferred?" Bai Song was sure that there was no record of such a large amount of transfer in any of Sun's cards.
