Chapter 308 Preliminary Understanding


0

Is this what Captain Zhao meant by the huge amount of money involved? This is really too big.

No wonder all the police officers present were so calm and composed. After being baptized by this case for so long, anyone would become much more mature.

About half of the people in the room are elite soldiers seconded from various branches. Now the case has entered the middle stage. At the beginning, the task force had more than 150 members. Now they are gradually being laid off and rotated, but there are still as many as 40 to 50 people.

In this kind of case, many people only do the most basic work, and they don’t need to understand the entire case. For example, taking notes, retrieving bank evidence, collating evidence and bank account information, etc., are all very hard basic work, and it is common to be busy for fourteen or fifteen hours a day.

Captain Cao and others did not consider Bai Song's situation separately, but continued the progress of the case. The current difficulty of the case is still in sorting out the clues and further improving and supplementing the chain of evidence, because there are too many things involved, and no evidence can be missing when it comes to conviction and sentencing.

Bai Song once heard of a case when he was studying for the judicial examination.

A shipyard was hired by a foreign company to produce a large cruise ship of tens of thousands of tons with advanced technology. The shipyard has strong production capacity and delivered the cruise ship on schedule according to the client's technical requirements and drawings.

A few years later, the shipyard independently produced and sold a cruise ship that was very similar to the previous ones from beginning to end, and its style was quite similar to that of a certain large automobile manufacturer.

Later, the client thought this was plagiarism and immediately filed an intellectual property lawsuit, claiming that the shipyard had infringed the client's patent.

However, this is a cruise ship weighing tens of thousands of tons!

The drawings alone took up five trucks.

As a policeman, Bai Song aspires to be a knowledgeable person. What about judges? Judges are naturally knowledgeable, but they are still stretched when faced with this matter.

Of course, we have no doubt that the panel of judges of this maritime court (Note 1) is very professional, and we also believe that the several expert assistants found for this case are industry experts, but...

Five truckloads of advanced blueprints, hundreds of tons of books, drawings, texts, and a large amount of electronic data...

What would you do if you were a judge?

Since this case involves a serious criminal offense, we cannot easily mess things up. It is necessary to sort out the entire context of the case.

Regarding the crime of illegally absorbing public deposits, many people ask, why doesn’t the government do anything about it?

This question becomes very complicated if we talk about it in detail. After all, things like finance sometimes do require a freer market.

However, the root cause is that many people who have a little savings have a shockingly low ability to manage their own money, especially those who are a little older and whose parents have always lived a hard life and have saved a little money.

I have never had control over money, and after gradually accumulating savings, I didn’t know what to do with them.

Money in the bank? It doesn't seem to keep up with inflation.

Buying a house? Not enough.

Buy a car? No, you can’t spend it casually, you have to save it.

invest?

Okay then, how to invest?

You can often see various investment company promotions:

"The 4% interest rate promised by the bank's financial products is too low. The financial products at the door are stable and reliable, with an interest rate of 9%. There are so many major government departments behind them that promise stability..."

"Our financial products keep up with the times and invest in West Asia, Africa, Latin America and Southeast Asia..."

"Yes, our products are risky, but you are one of the first members, so you will get to enjoy the benefits..."

In short, with all the promises and no money involved, many people: 100,000 in, 120,000 out; another 30,000, 150,000 in, 180,000 out; another 120,000, 300,000 in, not a penny out…

Descartes Finance has a slightly lower interest rate, so the capital chain can last longer, and then it becomes such a huge problem.

It’s a pity that such a great philosopher, mathematician, and physicist like Descartes... is now regarded as a money-swindler.

Bai Song was a little unable to keep up with the pace of the meeting. He didn't have any case files on hand, so he could only write down a lot of things in a notebook and get a general understanding of the situation.

Maybe it was because Bai Song had been taking notes from beginning to end, after the meeting, Cao's detachment arranged for someone to take Bai Song to find a dormitory. And the most important thing was that Bai Song was assigned to this special case team and could freely look through the materials of the entire case.

This dormitory is a double dormitory with two separate single beds, two cabinets and two desks. I haven't met my roommate Bai Song yet, but I guess he is also a deputy leader.

Almost all the people who should be arrested in the case have been arrested, the case's classification level has been downgraded, and Bai Song has signed a confidentiality agreement, allowing him to review all the materials of the case without affecting others.

There is an evidence book for the case. The case's special clerk is a deputy captain of the Economic Investigation Corps named Wang Wei, 34 years old, who has been following up on the case from the beginning to now.

It can be seen that Captain Cao, seeing Bai Song's age, did not seem to want to hand the case over to Bai Song and did not make any arrangements for him. Bai Song also understood the reason. After tidying up his residence, he took the initiative to find Wang Wei.

Wang Wei had his own independent office. When he saw Bai Song knocking on the door, he quickly got up and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Hello, Captain Wang. I'm new to the Jiuhe Branch. I'm here to talk to you about the case." Bai Song didn't know what kind of person Wang Wei was, so he stated his purpose directly.

"Oh, I saw you at the meeting just now, Captain Bai, right? You're welcome. Here is a copy of the evidence book. Take one and take a look. Basically, the outline of the case is here. Remember to return it after reading it." Wang Wei spoke impartially and took out a box from the cabinet.

One set of copies still needed to be returned. Bai Song didn’t quite like the feeling of being restricted, but he still took the box.

"Which one is the evidence book?" Bai Song asked when he saw there were six volumes in the box.

"All of them." Wang Wei then took out a document book and said, "Please sign it. There are a lot of copies. I only made four or five copies. Don't lose them."

"Okay, no problem." Bai Song looked at the materials in the room, expressed his agreement, signed, and returned to the dormitory.

This box weighs about three or four pounds. Inside it are the evidence books and case summaries of the entire case so far. They are basically things that Wang Wei sorted and copied, recording the entire story of the case.

Note 1: Maritime Court is a specialized court for hearing maritime and commercial cases, and its level is the same as that of Intermediate People's Court. The Court of Appeal is the corresponding Provincial High Court.
