Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 399 Trading
The first thing Shi Hongfang did after leaving the criminal investigation team was to return to his apartment and dial a number using the same phone model as Liu Yuan's.

The moment the number was dialed, the other party answered the call almost instantly, as if they had been waiting in front of the phone the whole time.

Shi Hongfang held up his phone in one hand and operated a bunch of electronic devices in the study with the other: "As you expected, your men are being slaughtered. I've seen the bodies. Most of them were killed by having their arteries cut."

After saying that, he casually posted a few autopsy photos.

"……Thanks."

An unusually hoarse voice, as if suppressing some kind of pain, came from the phone.

The owner of the voice was none other than Song Jie, who had disappeared from Qianhua City some time ago.

A long time ago, Song Jie noticed that something was wrong recently. First, Mu Si disappeared, then Cat's Eye disappeared, and then Crippled Wolf disappeared.

Everyone seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace.

Song Jie had no intention of working for Janus and had long been prepared to leave.

After the lame wolf disappeared, he did not hesitate to hide in the secretly constructed safe house and isolate himself.

When Song Jie left, he took nothing with him except the clothes on his body and this mobile phone, and he did not notify anyone, including his two confidants.

He even stockpiled enough food and drinking water for six months in the safe house so he wouldn't have to leave the house.

All of Song Jie's belongings related to Janus were either thrown away or given to his subordinates.

As for the pendant that Janus somehow managed to fuse into his left palm...

Song Jie is used to answering the phone with his left hand, but now he uses his right hand, and he will only be able to use his right hand in the future.

They went to such lengths just to disappear without a trace, leaving no clues that could be traced.

To prevent someone from coming to their door and taking their life.

Song Jie brought this phone, which could communicate with the outside world, simply to find out when Janus was planning to make his move.

Another thing to consider is whether your partners have introduced you to a new patron.

He couldn't hide in a safe house forever; it was the only way to protect his power.

As it turned out, Song Jie's guess was correct.

Janus launched a purge against him; whether he could protect his family's property depended on whether he could find a new patron.

"No need to thank me, it's just a transaction. When are you planning to send me the information?"

Looking at the torrent of code on the screen, Shi Hongfang asked calmly.

Song Jie glanced at the notes and said, "The information about all the casinos in Jiuhua Outer City is under the coffee table in room 405 of the XX Hotel."

Zhang Feng manages most of the casino business in Qianhua City.

Even online bookmakers and money laundering platforms will come to him to pay their respects when they have the chance, just to avoid being targeted by his henchmen.

After all, money laundering is almost the simplest and safest way to launder money, and Zhang Feng has a lot of dirty money in his hands.

The money laundering platform easily finds a large number of people to launder money, and then uses these people's bank cards or QR codes as a way to receive payments for online gambling.

Those who earn points on the website don't actually transfer the money to the online gambling platform; instead, they transfer it directly to the card of someone who runs off with the points.

Then the people who run the points will send the money they earned to the platform, which will then collect and transfer it to the bookmaker.

The gambling funds varied in size, and the transfer messages were mixed in with daily expenses. Moreover, they all used bank cards belonging to citizens on the whitelist, and the receiving cards were changed every once in a while, so they would not attract the attention of the banks.

During this period, both the money launderer and the platform will receive a certain percentage of commission. The amount of money launderer receives is fixed, while the platform will extract 0.3% to 1% as commission based on the total amount.

These commissions are the cost of money laundering.

Compared to those who actually earn two million but claim to earn twenty million, launder eighteen million in one go, and are ultimately caught for tax evasion...

Cough cough, it's nothing.

Although Zhang Feng has started to clean up his act in recent years, he is still entangled with the casinos under his control.

For Song Jie, Zhang Feng's good friend, getting a location in an underground casino was naturally not difficult.

He was simply revealing to the police some information about the criminal activities that the other party was about to abandon.

In return, they received intelligence that was vital to their lives.

why not?

We can always compensate Zhang Feng for her losses later.

Shi Hongfang glanced at the progress on the computer screen: "This is not what we agreed on."

"Hehe, of course I know."

Song Jie stared intently at his phone with bloodshot eyes: "I always have to have a backup plan. What if you sell me out after I've traded all the information you want in one go?"

"Besides me, do you have anyone else you can rely on?" Shi Hongfang asked, staring at the computer screen.

"You don't need to worry about that."

Song Jie didn't offer any explanation. He wasn't stupid; why would he reveal all his cards to someone else?

At this moment, a large circle appeared on Shi Hongfang's computer map.

He was silent for a moment before asking, "How long do you plan to hide?"

"We'll see. Maybe I'll hide for two or three years."

When it comes to matters concerning his own life and fortune, Song Jie wouldn't reveal a single detail: "I'll hang up if there's nothing else."

Shi Hongfang did not stop him, silently put down his phone, and let the other party hang up.

………………

"Ha... Huh..."

Inside the safe house.

Having just hung up the phone, Song Jie took a deep breath and nervously dialed a number.

The call was connected very quickly.

"It seems you're not having an easy time."

The other person's voice remained as cold and indifferent as ever.

Song Jie gritted his teeth: "When are you planning to introduce me? If you don't help me now, I really won't have a chance!"

"Watch your attitude. Now it's your turn to ask me for a favor."

The other party gave Song Jie a warning.

Song Jie immediately retorted, "How long has it been? Why would a dying man like me care about attitude?"

Song Jie dared to say that because he had some confidence; he had played a trick.

If negotiations with the other party break down, Song Jie will immediately abandon all his businesses and abscond with his savings.

The other party seemed worried that they might push Song Jie too far: "I've already tried to ask for you, but my backer didn't give a clear answer at the time, and I can't contact him right now. I can only give you the result after some time."

Song Jie endured the excruciating pain in his wrist: "How much longer?"

“I don’t know, but you can tell me your current location and I will take you to a safe place.”

"Safety?"

Song Jie felt like he'd heard the biggest joke in the world: "Didn't you see the photos I sent you? A throat-slitting death! Cat's Eye is definitely not dead yet! Do you think you can stop that madman?"

There was no response on the other end of the phone.

"In short, I will absolutely not show my face in any setting until you give me a clear answer!"

Song Jie hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
