Taking out 500,000 yuan in cash, Zuo Ling said, "Rent a tank for 300."
The staff member's eyes widened. A brand new Tank 300 costs only 200,000 yuan, and you're renting a used one for 500,000 yuan? That doesn't make sense.
"Identification...documents".
Zuo Ling remained silent, watching him quietly.
After a full minute, the staff member suddenly realized: "I understand, I understand, please wait a moment."
He walked a few steps away and made a phone call to the car dealership owner in a low voice.
She quickly hung up the phone, her smile bright and clear: "Madam, the parking lot is over there. I'll take you there to choose a car."
In theory, it is not allowed to rent a car without showing identification.
But who can argue with the higher price? The reason we pay a high price is because we're offering risk money.
Want to make money but not want to take risks? Dream on!
The car dealership owner was perfectly shrewd.
If anything goes wrong, just say it was staff negligence and they didn't know when the car went missing.
Therefore, no police were called.
They were both in the same line of work, and the car dealership owner believed that Zuo Ling was even less willing to get into trouble than he was, making it extremely unlikely that she would lose all her capital.
How many times do I need to rent out the car to earn 300,000 yuan?
There's no other way; business is tough, so it's necessary to take a risk for high profits.
Twenty minutes later, Zuo Ling drove away from the car dealership in a silver Tank 300.
When you're rich, you can do whatever you want.
After renting the car, Zuo Ling bought a new phone and got a SIM card that didn't require an ID card, then threw the old phone into her storage space.
She wanted to go to Shuzhou, which was the territory of the Ding family, and she didn't want the Ding family to know that she had come to Shuzhou.
The Ding family is powerful and might not monitor someone as insignificant as her, but she still has to be careful every step of the way.
The next day, the staff at the New Jersey Jingcheng Jade Shop discovered that the owner was missing; the stones, testing equipment, car, and ledgers displayed in the shop were all gone.
Realizing something serious had happened, they quickly contacted the flagship store in Beijing.
The head office immediately reported the incident to the Urumqi police.
There were no signs of vandalism inside the store, leading to the conclusion that the crime was committed by someone known to the victim.
Checking the surrounding surveillance footage, the plaid shirt came into the police's view; searching for the plaid shirt, they found it had vanished without a trace.
Further investigation revealed that not only had the plaid shirt disappeared, but all seven of his longtime associates had also vanished.
Nine people went missing at the same time, and the police realized that this was unusual, so they formed an elite task force.
It was discovered that the shop owner had purchased 40 pieces of jade with cash and gold before his disappearance.
Someone sold 120 pieces of jade in succession on Jade Street, which came to the attention of the police.
The jade shops in Ningcheng and Shanghai use bank transfers, while the jade shops in Beijing use cash transactions.
Suspicious signs emerge: Did the perpetrator abscond with the money? Or was there a dispute over the division of the spoils?
They could neither be found alive nor dead.
What's even stranger is that only one pickup truck was monitored leaving the city; where did the other two vehicles go?
Following the money transfer records in Ningcheng and Hucheng, the police found Zuo Ling, who disappeared after leaving Wucheng.
The investigation has reached this point, and all leads have gone cold.
With this approach blocked, investigators adjusted their investigation direction.
After big data analysis, seven or eight missing persons cases were found, all pointing to the New Jersey Jingcheng Jade Shop. The missing persons had gone missing after purchasing jade from the shop.
The investigation team observed a moment of silence for Zuo Ling. Making such a high-profile move—selling 120 pieces of jade at once—is too blatant! Her chances of survival are slim.
The head office of the jade shop in Beijing urged the investigators to solve the case quickly.
The disappearance of 168 million yen in cash, gold, and several hundred pieces of jade is not a major blow to the Kyoto Jade Shop's main branch.
However, the raw materials were unavailable, and without them, the head office was running out of inventory, jeopardizing operations.
