Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 135 Fraud is Damn
"Money laundering" is a criminal organization that uses money to launder illicit funds.

Because criminals need to transfer the stolen money as soon as possible without being detected by the police, they need a large number of "money laundering" personnel and a large number of bank cards to launder the stolen money in a mobile manner, ultimately making the money "legitimate" and allowing it to flow back into the hands of overseas fraud gangs.

"Money laundering" personnel are also known as "card farmers," which is short for bank card farmers.

Chen Shu's target in Fangdong City this time—Zhang Heng—is Canon. Through Canon, there's a high probability that he can lure out the "water house" behind him.

Human Resources Office, Dongming Minerals Co., Ltd., Fangdong City.

Chen Shu showed the manager the relevant documents and procedures, and under the manager's guidance, the group headed straight for the company's west gate.

The group arrived at the West Gate security room, and Chen Shu opened the door and went inside.

A gaunt-faced, disheveled middle-aged man sat by the window, looking up at the large group of people who had entered the room with some questioning.

"You are"

Upon seeing the HR manager follow the crowd into the security room, the middle-aged man immediately stood up. "Manager Liu, what's the matter?"

Chen Shu walked up and placed his hands on the man's shoulders, pressing down firmly: "Sit down first!"

Xiaoqiang and Zhu Chaoran also cooperated well. The two of them went around behind him and stood on the left and right sides. They reached out and grabbed each other's upper arms and wrists tightly, and then pulled back slightly to a 45° angle.

"What! What are you doing! Manager Liu, what's going on? What's happening?!"

"Ouch! That hurts! Stop pressing! Stop pressing!"

The man was startled and tried to struggle to get up, but the two people behind him pulled and pressed him down, causing him to fall back into the chair in pain, with beads of cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

Chen Shu pulled out the personnel information sheet for "Zhang Heng" from the case file bag, compared it, and confirmed that the man was indeed the person involved in the case—Zhang Heng.

"What's your name?" It was a professional habit to confirm it again.

Zhang Heng looked around at the crowd in a panic: "Who are you? What do you want?! I'm calling the police! I'm calling the police!"

"Bang!" "Ouch!"

Chen Shu raised his right foot and kicked Zhang Heng hard in the shin. He leaned over, grabbed the other man by the collar, and shouted, word by word, "I asked you what your name is!"

"Zhang Heng, my name is Zhang Heng."

Zhang Heng's eyes were filled with terror. He didn't know the origin of the group of burly men in front of him, but seeing that even Manager Liu, who usually swaggered around the company, was now standing obediently to the side without saying a word, he completely gave in.

Chen Shu got the answer, stood up, and nodded to the two people behind Zhang Heng.

Zhu Chaoran took out handcuffs and skillfully cuffed Zhang Heng's hands, handcuffing him behind his back.

Zhang Heng raised his head and looked around. Realizing that they were all police officers, he finally shut his mouth and stopped making any unnecessary noises.

The burly Xiao Qiang snorted coldly, pulled up the shackles with his left hand, and reached out with his right hand to grab and lift Zhang Heng by the back of his collar, taking Zhang Heng away like a monkey.

Zhu Chaoran followed him out.

Chen Shu walked to Zhang Heng's desk, opened all the drawers and looked them over. Apart from some odds and ends and half a pack of cigarettes, there were no suspicious items involved in the case.

He took out a Liqun cigarette and handed it to Manager Liu, saying with a smile, "Manager Liu, we'll have to trouble you to take us to Zhang Heng's dormitory." Manager Liu accepted the cigarette with both hands, bowing and scraping, "Thank you! Officer, you're too kind! I'll take you there right now."

As he spoke, he took the lead, opened the door, and led Chen Shu and Li Chaoyang toward the company dormitory.

Along the way, Li Chaoyang leaned in and whispered with a sigh, "Senior brother, after so many business trips, I always feel that the people in these remote places are particularly polite and respectful to us. Unlike back home, or in Shanghai, sigh, they're indifferent, but when something happens, they'd love to slap us!"

Chen Shu smiled: "The people are simple and honest. We shouldn't take ourselves too seriously, but we must show them the respect they deserve. After all, they are also part of the payroll for us."

The group arrived at Zhang Heng's dormitory and searched around. Inside the pillowcase on his bed, they found a large number of bank cards and several mobile phone SIM cards.

The two exchanged a smile. At the very least, it was a charge of "facilitating the spread of misinformation." With further investigation, they might be pleasantly surprised to find out that it was a charge of "fraud."

Before leaving, Chen Shuzhao, as was his custom, took out a bag of Dongzhou specialties from his backpack and gave it to Manager Liu.

Under Manager Liu's shocked gaze, he waved goodbye.

On the way to the parking spot, Li Chaoyang took a moment to ask, "Senior brother, I feel that the way you treat your clients is a little different from how you usually treat us and ordinary people. Hmm, you're quite fierce."

Chen Shu took out a cigarette and offered one to Chen Shu, then put one in his own mouth: "You've never seen me being polite to my partner. I treat her like my own parents."

Li Chaoyang chuckled: "Then you must have a scheme up your sleeve."

Chen Shu waved his hand: "What's with all this scheming and plotting? We police officers always have a purpose in doing things. What's wrong with being polite to them or being a little harsh in order to achieve that purpose?"

However, we should still be kinder to ordinary people; after all, the word "people" precedes our "police."

"By the way, senior, why did you give their manager a pack of duck tongues when you left?"

Chen Shu patted the strap of his backpack and laughed, "We're far from here, so if anything happens with Zhang Heng's case in the future, we can just call their manager. Considering this gift, we'll help out in some way. Half a pound of duck tongues only costs a few dozen yuan; this is a great deal!"

Problems that can be solved with money are not problems.

Chen Shu chuckled to himself.

On the way to the local police station

Sitting in the rented car, Chen Shu didn't rush to interrogate Zhang Heng. He simply flipped through the case files casually, waiting for Zhu Chaoran to drive the car to the nearby police station.

Zhu Chaoran had turned the car's air conditioning up to the maximum, but the atmosphere inside the car was still somewhat dull throughout the journey.

Upon arriving at the nearest local police station—Huahai Police Station—the group escorted Zhang Heng into the duty hall.

Chen Shu asked the others to wait in the lobby, then took the case file bag to the inner room, found a police officer on duty, briefly explained the incident and the case details, showed the Fangdong City Public Security Bureau's cross-provincial case filing record, and then asked to borrow their interrogation room.

After the formalities were completed, Chen Shu and Li Chaoyang took Zhang Heng into the interrogation room.

Sitting on the interrogation table, looking down at Zhang Heng who was bowing his head, Chen Shu's mind was filled with images of a large number of fraud victims kneeling on the ground, weeping bitterly.

One person gets scammed, the whole family suffers!

To say something a police officer shouldn't say,
Fraudsters, they deserve to die!
