Chapter 159 I Know You Are Urgent
The Kowloon West Regional Police Station has dealt with too many vicious criminals.
West Kowloon is dignified and stern towards murderers.
But towards Lu Rong, Lin Yazhi was willing to treat him with courtesy for a short period of time.
She finally understood why Jian Ruochen had been fighting with Lu Rong for the land of Kowloon Walled City in the interrogation room.
Geographical location is one key factor, but there is also...
It's so funny to see Lu Rongyou being unable to express his anger!
She just likes to see it like this!
Today's 8-hour interrogation is over.
Lin Yazhi personally invited Lu Rong to come out of the interrogation room and spoke softly and gently: "Mr. Lu, the procedures for restricting your exit from the country have been completed. You must not leave Hong Kong unless it is necessary. Even if it is necessary, you must not leave Hong Kong."
Lu Rong's fingers were tightly clasped around the stick.
How did Lin Yazhi know that he wanted to contact the British Hong Kong government and find someone to take him out of Hong Kong?
Lin Yazhi tucked the hair that fell on her cheeks behind her ears and smiled softly, saying meaningfully, "Some prisoners, when they see that there is no way out, will forcibly find a new way out in an attempt to escape punishment."
She helped Lu Rong press the elevator button, holding the induction spring on the door with her hand, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Lu is not that kind of person, right?"
Lu Rong is of course.
The curve of his lips froze, and he paused for a moment, "Of course not."
Lin Yazhi released her hand that was blocking the elevator door. "It seems that the exit restriction procedure has no effect on you."
She paused, and at the last second before the elevator door closed, she looked up into Lu Rong's eyes and smiled, "I feel relieved now."
"bite--"
The elevator door closed and the sound of chains was heard as it went down.
The members of the serious crime squad who were quietly following behind Lin Yazhi to watch the fun all laughed out loud.
Liang Xinyue took a bamboo broom to support half of his body, imitating the way Lu Rong supported himself with a cane, "Of course not."
"Hahaha!" Zhang Xingzong laughed so hard that he fell backwards.
So relieved!
"What are you laughing at? Have you sorted out the evidence?" Lin Yazhi folded her arms and glanced over.
Liang Xinyue immediately put the broom back and said, "No madam, I'll go right away."
Ding Gao put his hands in his pockets and walked side by side with the two of them. "How are we going to celebrate the New Year at Xiangjiang University? We still have exams after the start of the school year. I haven't seen Advisor Jian for so long. I miss him a lot."
Zhang Xingzong paused, "Do you miss him?"
Ding Gao: “Yes.”
Zhang Xingzong looked him up and down and said, "Don't say this in front of Guan Sir."
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
Zhang Xingzong smacked his lips and patted Ding Gao on the shoulder: "Brother, I can only help you up to this point."
You can think about it, but you can never say it.
Sir Guan looks like a jealous person.
Ding Gao was stunned for a while, then chased after him and asked, "Why can't we say it in front of Guan Sir? Does he want us to isolate Consultant Jian?"
Zhang Xingzong looked at him with an incredible expression.
The next day.
The professional test enters the last door.
Micro-expression psychology analysis test and lie recognition test.
The test relies on computer software METT, and the shortest expression will only be displayed for 1/15 of a second.
A test lasts three hours, which is exactly the duration of a short trial in West Kowloon.
Jian Ruochen once spent two eight-hour sessions in the interrogation room with Oliver Keith.
It was quite easy for him to wear shoe covers and do picture-reading and judgment work for three hours in the computer room without playing any chess.
He handed in his examination paper, helped Teacher Li mark the papers for the freshmen, and received his subsequent study assignments. It was after three o'clock in the afternoon when he finished his school affairs and stepped into the gate of the West Kowloon Regional Police Station.
As soon as I entered the store, I took care of the tea restaurant's business and ordered tea for all my colleagues.
Jian Ruochen took the copy of Group A to the serious crime team, put the iced lemon tea on the tea table, and said with a smile: "It's a little after three o'clock, let's have tea first~"
Zhang Xingzong jumped up and rubbed his hands, saying, "Wow, Red Robe Ice Lemon Tea. The tea restaurant downstairs is getting more and more expensive. 20 for a cup of iced black tea. They're here just to make money from you."
"Then let them make money. Who knows, we might need their help someday. Taking care of the business will make you more friends." Jian Ruochen said, taking his afternoon tea and sitting down at the desk.
I haven't come to work for a long time. The table outside, which was piled with study materials, was now clean, there was no garbage in the trash can, there was only one pen in the pen holder, and even the newly installed computer was placed upright, with the distance between the keyboard and the screen parallel, as accurate as if measured with a ruler. It was obviously Guan Yingjun's work.
Jian Ruochen took two sips of lemon tea, then remembered that he couldn't drink too much tea or coffee, and handed it to Guan Yingjun who was passing by.
Guan Yingjun had just finished a field trip and it was hot, so he took the cup and drank half of it in one breath.
Bi Xianxian looked at this scene and exchanged glances with Lin Yazhi who came over after hearing the news. Both of them had tears in their eyes.
It’s better to have Consultant Jian like this. Before, he was lying on the hospital bed listlessly, and even Group A had no energy.
Now that Consultant Jian is back, the entire Group A seems to have come alive.
Group A held a small meeting to review the case while having afternoon tea.
Guan Yingjun: "The floppy disk that Li Feiquan gave me contains some evidence of Lu Rong's money laundering."
He tapped a stack of A4 papers beside him and said, "It's all here."
"It has been confirmed that Lu Rong has only two methods of money laundering."
"First, give the bank card with a large amount of black money to Li Feiquan, who will contact the casino manager, exchange it for cash, and temporarily deposit it with the manager. Then, at a rate of 10 million per day, exchange the cash for casino tokens, and then make a move at the gambling table to lose 2 million to the dealer, and exchange the remaining 8 million back."
"After this transformation, black money becomes white money."
"Second, Lu Rong asked Li Feiquan to find the winners of the lottery, football betting or horse racing on the third floor, and buy the lottery tickets and winning tickets at the original price according to the price they won, exempting them from the unexpected income tax, and then go to claim the prizes themselves. So, after the unexpected income tax was paid, the black money became white money."
Guan Yingjun whispered, "According to ICAC's investigation, all the shell companies under Lu Rong have been deregistered after Jiang Hanyu was arrested for financial crimes."
Zhang Xingzong replied: "They are probably afraid of following in his footsteps."
"In addition to money laundering, Lu Rong also committed bribery." Guan Yingjun pulled out another piece of paper. "When Lu Rong laundered money, for every 10 yuan he laundered, 1 yuan went to officials who bought Lu Group stocks in the form of dividends."
"It's because of the different ways of money laundering. Sometimes, one dollar out of 10 yuan is taken by officials, and two dollars are taken by Morklin. In the end, the 10 yuan of black money can only be laundered into 7 yuan of clean money."
"As of the time when the Victoria Harbour Casino was investigated, Lu Rong had laundered a total of 5.9 billion U.S. dollars."
Ding Gao gasped, "So many!"
The Hong Kong dollar is now plummeting and fluctuating greatly. 5.9 billion US dollars can be exchanged for nearly 50 billion Hong Kong dollars!
"If Lu Rong uses this money to join forces with the British Hong Kong government to do evil in Hong Kong, even the police in Hong Kong may not be able to stop him." Bi Xianxian pressed her temples.
The money has been laundered and there is evidence of money laundering, but if Lu Rong refuses to plead guilty, he will not be sentenced to much time.
Jiang Hanyu was only sentenced to three years, so Lu Rong’s sentence will surely be even shorter.
People who often commit crimes in Hong Kong know a saying, "Confess and be treated leniently, and spend the rest of your life in prison. Resist and be treated severely, and go home for the New Year."
People like Lu Rong are the most difficult to deal with because they know very well that once they let down their guard in the interrogation room, they're finished.
Jian Ruochen looked at the things on the whiteboard, his finger against the tip of the ballpoint pen, pressing it intermittently, "Since he doesn't want to say anything, why not give him some space, let him air out for a while, and monitor him at the same time."
By leaving Lu Rong out of the way and making him unaware of West Kowloon's movements, perhaps we can force him into a corner and get more evidence against him.
West Kowloon can also use this time to interrogate other officials who have accepted bribes.
Bi Xianxian was stunned, "That's a solution."
She pondered for a while, and said in confusion: "Why is Lu Rong so desperate to launder money? Has he invested in anything recently? Should we be on guard to prevent him from harming other Hong Kong businessmen?"
It's impossible to just wash it and not use it, right?
So what does he want?
After these words came out, Jian Ruochen was silent, "No... Lu Rong doesn't want to vote."
He cleared his throat and said under everyone's gaze, "I got angry and snatched away all the projects he wanted to invest in. Other Hong Kong businessmen saw that there was money to be made and joined the ranks of snatching away Lu Rong."
Jian Ruochen concluded: "Lu Rong just has money but nowhere to spend it."
Bi Xianxian remained silent.
What a niche way to take revenge.
It's totally incomprehensible.
A new form of bullying in the business world has emerged!
"Do you make any money by cutting him off?"
Jian Ruo pondered over Uncle Luo's gradually relaxed expression over the past few days and made a conservative estimate, "I can probably make two or three times as much. Lu Rongxuan has a pretty good eye for projects."
Ding Gao:......
How heartbreaking.
When it comes to outraging criminal suspects, no one in West Kowloon can compare to Jian Ruochen.
Zhang Xingzong said, "If we leave Lu Rong alone, he will definitely get suspicious. Why don't we call him over first and let Consultant Jian meet him face to face?"
Guan Yingjun nodded: "Okay."
Just as Group A finalized the rules, Group D took action and invited Lu Rong out of Lu's residence.
While Jian Ruochen was resting and recuperating, Lu Rong was summoned frequently. After eight hours of running around and torture every day, he lost a lot of weight.
His cheeks were a little sunken, and his suit looked a little empty. When he sat in the interrogation room, his eyes were sinister, as if he wanted to tear out Jian Ruochen's tendons and bones.
Lu Rong sneered: "Mr. Jian is really lucky."
Jian Ruochen said modestly: "Thanks to Mr. Lu for taking care of you."
Without your care, how could Conant's business in Hong Kong double so quickly?
Zhang Xingzong, who was sitting next to Jian Ruochen, immediately pursed his lips tightly.
The last time I tried to hold back my laughter in the interrogation room was last time!
When it comes to making people angry, it has to be Consultant Jian!
Zhang Xingzong and Ding Gao sat on either side of Jian Ruochen, like guardians on the left and right.
Lu Rong took a deep breath and said, "I told you, talk to my lawyer if you have anything to say. No matter how many people ask me, I will only say this."
"I know you're anxious, but don't be anxious yet." Jian Ruochen was calm, his expression was steady, and his lips were slightly raised, "Take a look at this."
He pulled out a sheet filled with the names of officials and the amount of bribes they received, and gently placed it in front of Lu Rong. "After investigation, it was found that these officials began to have frequent dealings with you after receiving bribes. You entrusted one of them to set up a trust fund in the United States and transferred part of the criminal assets."
The second half is a guess.
Lu Rong's eyelids slightly closed, his facial muscles raised, one corner of his mouth lifted, and he smiled contemptuously, but he didn't open his mouth to sneer.
Jian Ruochen immediately changed his words: "Oh, I remembered it wrong, it's not the United States."
Lu Rong was stunned.
"Britain." Jian Ruochen pretended to flip the paper in front of him, keeping an eye on Lu Rong's expression. Sure enough, he saw that his pupils constricted, his lower jaw retracted slightly, his eyelids lifted, and his body moved slightly backward.
Typical avoidance reflex.
He guessed it right.
Jian Ruochen took a deep breath and said, "You opened a trust fund before the crime of money laundering was discovered, but according to the law, this approach is not feasible."
"People with criminal records are not allowed to leave the country. All assets and property involved in the case should be liquidated."
“They are not allowed to engage in legal foreign business, apply for or use foreign bank deposits and credit cards, buy and sell foreign stocks, bonds and other financial products, or engage in other foreign financial activities.”
"You'd better take the money out of the trust fund as soon as possible, so that we don't count it as a transfer of assets and you accidentally commit an additional crime."
Jian Ruochen smiled kindly: "Mr. Lu, have I made myself clear?"
In the final analysis, your money will still be confiscated by China.
Lu Rong's face turned pale.
Today, he finally understood that he could not defeat Jian Ruochen by himself.
Behind him is the entire West Kowloon and the entire China.
Lu Rong coughed and looked at Jian Ruochen's eyebrows, looking for room for counterattack.
He was horrified to find that Jian Ruochen was almost invulnerable.
Jian Ruochen doesn't know anything about finance, but he knows how to appoint the right people to the right positions and never interferes with the family business, leaving it all to Luo Binwen and professional managers.
When it comes to solving cases, Jian Ruochen is good at interrogation, so he focuses on interrogation and never competes with his colleagues for work. He was imprisoned and forced to engage in gunfights several times, and it was all because West Kowloon was short of manpower.
Not to mention his interpersonal relationships, he never made enemies with anyone, and even most of the criminals he had handled praised him highly.
Lu Rong sighed, "Jian Ruochen, why do you force me like this?"
"I'm just telling you about the interests involved. I never bring personal grudges into the interrogation room." Jian Ruochen said, pointing to the paper full of officials' names. "We will question these people one by one. They may say what you can't say."
Lu Rong pursed his lips and did not respond for a while.
Jian Ruochen moved her with emotion and said earnestly: "Now tell me, what is your relationship with the intelligence team planted by MI6 in Hong Kong, and how did you contact them and get the MI6 secret files."
"If you just tell me, we at West Kowloon can also fight for a sentence reduction for you. You have so much property on you, and after confiscating the illegal gains, we can at least keep 100 million US dollars. You can only serve a maximum of five years in prison for money laundering. The US dollar is so stable and will not depreciate, it is enough for retirement."
He knew that it was unlikely that Lu Rong would agree, so he added a lie, "I will not pursue the matter of you teaming up with Oliver Keith to kill me with benzomorph."
Jian Ruochen sat at the interrogation table, chuckled at Lu Rong, slapped the table again, and said generously: "As long as you tell us about the MI6 intelligence organization, you will be rewarded for your crime! I will issue you a letter of forgiveness and will not pursue the matter of attempted murder!"
On the left, Ding Gao was horrified: "How can this be possible!"
On the other side, Zhang Xingzong remained silent.
He finally understood why Consultant Jian let Ding Gao into the interrogation room.
Ding Gao was a straightforward person. He believed the lies immediately when he heard them and was extremely supportive.
He was just like the supporting actor hired by the unscrupulous bosses in the antique market to steal orders.
The customer didn't want to buy it at first, but when he saw another person say he wanted to buy it, he immediately made a purchase.
Seeing Ding Gao's dramatic reaction, Lu Rong hesitated, but he soon realized that something was wrong.
The West Kowloon Regional Police Station has no evidence at all that he was involved in the murder of Jian Ruochen!
This is a scam!
A thin layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on Lu Rong's back. His eyes went dark and his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously. "Advisor Jian, I don't know what you are talking about."
His face trembled, his breathing became rapid, his ears were buzzing, and he almost didn't know what he was saying. He only heard the sound of his vocal cords vibrating, sometimes far away and sometimes near: "How could I kill you?"
Jian Ruochen was not discouraged when he found out that he had failed to trick anyone into telling him the truth. He thought that this interrogation was just a formality. "So you don't want to kill me. Then is Oliver Keith's confession false?"
Lu Rong stared at him and didn't reply for a long time.
Zhang Xingzong gently nudged Jian Ruochen with his knee.
Stop pushing me. If you continue pushing me, Lu Rong will go crazy.
Jian Ruochen said regretfully: "It seems that you don't want this opportunity."
Planting the idea of getting a reduced sentence, when Lu Rong is forced into a corner, he will definitely use this seed to exchange for something with West Kowloon.
Then will be his chance to get a confession of "attempted murder".
Jian Ruochen said: "In that case, let's stop here today. We still need to set aside time to interrogate the officials you bribed."
He stepped forward and personally untied the chain that was tied around Lu Rong's wrist. "After you sign the interrogation record, you can leave."
