The Economic Investigation Corps is not located in the Municipal Bureau compound, but in Tianbei District, which is quite remote. Bai Song had done his homework in advance and knew where it was.
Early in the morning of April 15, Bai Song drove to the vicinity of his destination.
Here at the Economic Investigation Corps, there is an abandoned factory and several bungalows nearby. It is a bit far from the city center, and Bai Song has to drive for more than half an hour to get to work. The biggest advantage here is that there is no traffic jam and there is enough space for parking.
The gate of the headquarters is not big, not as grand as the gates of ordinary sub-bureaus. There are seven or eight people gathered at the gate, and there are not many people in the nearby restaurants and supermarkets. If you don't look at the plaque at the gate, this place is more like a town government.
Directly opposite the gate, there are six or seven law firms lined up. Even someone like Bai Song who knows little about the legal profession has heard of the names of three of them. These are the most famous criminal case defense firms in Tianhua City, and they all opened their doors early.
Bai Song drove the car to the gate, showed his ID, explained his purpose, and entered the compound smoothly.
While parking the car and chatting with the security guard, Bai Song heard several people at the door. They should be here to inquire about the progress of the case. Several old ladies lost all their money after the investment.
There are so many things like this...
Bai Song seemed particularly low-key when coming to such a place. He was completely unfamiliar with the place and the people here. After Bai Song entered the yard, he saw that it was very large. He roughly estimated that it was enough to park two hundred cars. Now half of the space was occupied, so he deliberately parked the car in a more remote place, trying not to occupy the parking spaces commonly used by others.
Bai Song's car was quite worn, but it was cleaned well. After parking the car, Bai Song suddenly discovered something. He felt something was wrong when he parked the car just now. After a closer look, the surrounding cars seemed to be a bit off...
There were at least a dozen cars nearby, each covered in thick dust. They had not been moved for several months or even years. Some of the cars were covered with cloth, while others were just left there.
But even if the car is covered, one can still tell the brand of the car at a glance, and the family design language of the car is too obvious.
Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Ferrari, Maybach...
It's like a concentration camp of luxury cars. The purchase tax of any car here can buy more than ten Baisong cars, just parked here.
Items involved?
There can only be this one possibility. These vehicles that are rarely seen in daily life are quietly gathering dust here. We can only blame them for following the wrong owner. No matter what kind of luxury car it is, if it is left like this, it will be half useless.
Compared with these cars, can I also call a taxi?
Bai Song was speechless. He walked around the cars and admired them. Well...it's time to change cars...
After parking the car, it was only around eight o'clock when cars started to drive in one after another. Bai Song directly called Captain Cao.
"Captain Bai, right? Come directly to conference room 404. There's a meeting at 8:30. Come over and get acquainted with everyone." Judging from his voice, Captain Cao was probably in his 50s, but he was quite easy-going.
There are three buildings here, but only one is a tall building. Bai Song quickly arrived at the room that Captain Cao mentioned. This is a meeting room, but unlike ordinary meeting rooms, there are at least seven or eight large cabinets in it, and each one is full.
This kind of cabinet is comparable to the filing cabinet in the archives room of Team Three. In other words, the number of case files in this conference room alone is half of that in the archives room of Team Three.
Bai Song was the first to arrive. After thinking for a while, he sat in the second row. The main reason was that the tables at the back were all filled with case files. Since he had just arrived, it would be not only impolite but also against discipline to rummage through other people's things.
Soon, a police officer in his fifties wearing a white shirt pushed the door open. He should be the Captain Cao that Captain Qin mentioned.
Captain Cao looks to be about 55 years old, has very short hair and is slightly plump, which makes him very attractive to people.
When he was in school, Bai Song always saw officers in white shirts all day long, but there was not a single one in the Criminal Investigation Brigade. When he suddenly saw a police officer in a white shirt, Bai Song quickly saluted.
Captain Cao returned the greeting and waved his hand: "You're welcome. Have a seat. Someone will be here at 8:30. Wait here for a while. After the meeting, I'll ask two kids to take you around and let you know the situation here.
I felt you were very young when we talked on the phone before, but it seems you are even younger than I thought. Captain White, you should be less than 30 years old, right?"
"Um, Captain Cao, I will be 23 years old in half a month." Bai Song thought to himself, do I look that old...
"23 years old? You're already a deputy section chief at the age of 23? A hero emerges from youth. Very good. The cases here require young people. It seems that Xiao Qin over there is not bad. He knows how to send us some elite soldiers and generals." Captain Cao emphasized the four words "elite soldiers and generals".
"Captain Cao, you are too kind. I am here to learn." Bai Song said politely.
"Well, okay. Then follow us and learn from us." Captain Cao nodded, motioned Bai Song to sit and wait for a while, and then went out.
Hmm? You're not playing by the rules. Shouldn't we be polite to each other?
Bai Song discovered that when he mentioned his age, Captain Cao's attitude suddenly changed. Bai Song was a little confused. After thinking about it, he roughly knew the reason. Could it be that he was gilding himself by pretending to be the son of an official?
Thinking of this, others might be a little depressed, but Bai Song was not sad but happy. This kind of leader is the most suitable to lead everyone to work, not the kind who asks about your background and family right from the start...
The comrades from the Municipal Bureau seemed to be very punctual. At 8:20, there was no one here, but within just a few minutes, more than 20 people came into the room one after another. Their average age was around 35 years old. Everyone was very quiet. When they saw Bai Song, they just glanced at him a little more, and there was no other change.
At 8:25, Captain Cao and two other leaders entered the room. Without any opening words, they introduced Bai Song and immediately began to talk about the case.
This task force, called the "Descartes Financial Task Force," was set up to investigate the crime of illegally absorbing public deposits. All the case files in this conference room are part of this case.
Yes, this is only part of it. In addition, there is a warehouse file that includes a large amount of data and electronic data.
The task force is not only composed of the people present here, but also dozens of bank employees were transferred here some time ago to cooperate with the Economic Investigation Corps in handling the case.
The case has now entered the mid-term stage and the perpetrators have basically been arrested. Preliminary investigation has revealed that the amount involved in the case exceeds RMB 26 billion.
