Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room.

Chapter 620 Millions of Funds
Upon learning that the six people were from the Imperial City Police Department, Xiang Shi invited the special case team to his office.

The room was dirty and messy, with the lingering smell of cigarette smoke and yellowed walls.

Fortunately, the space is spacious enough to seat seven people.

The clue about Xiang Shi was provided by Zhong Liyun himself. Chen Yi knew that there was a high probability that he would not be able to ask about Zhong Liyun's privacy, but he had to do it anyway.

Maybe, I can hear something useful.

Xiang Shi's attitude became much more serious, not because of fear, but because of psychological awe. He never thought in his life that he would be able to deal with people from the Imperial City Police Department.

At the same time, he was also puzzled as to why the police came to Dongli and why they wanted to investigate Zhong Liyun.

"Ayun is a bit ruthless. Did he commit a big crime? He attracted all the police officers here."

Xiang Shi was thinking as he handed over the cigarette.

Except for Chen Yi, no one else took the cigarette. Xiang Shi smiled and said, "The cigarette is not good. Please make do with it. Would you like some tea or water?"

Chen Yi: "Don't bother, we'll just chat for a few minutes and leave."

"Okay, you say." Xiang Shi sat down.

Chen Yi looked at the opponent's right leg.

Seeing this, Xiang Shi hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to tell the truth: "It was indeed Zhong Liyun who beat him, and it has been twenty years. The reason... uh."

Chen Yi's "daring as hell" flashed through his mind. He knew that the police had already found out a lot, so he said, "Yes, I did touch Qiu Jie, and Zhong Liyun ran into me."

Chen Yi took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Just touching her? She even broke her legs. I think it would be more reasonable if it was attempted rape."

Xiang Shi smiled awkwardly: "They are all about the same."

almost?
Chen Yi didn't ask any further questions, that was far from the truth.

Xiang Shi was indebted to Zhong Liyun. If it wasn't too excessive, the latter would not repay the favor with evil. Moreover, Zhong Liyun and his sister still needed to rely on Xiang Shi.

But if Xiang Shi pushes further, Zhong Liyun doesn't mind using force to let an old man know what the youthful vigor and vitality is.

Just because you have done me a favor, it doesn't mean you can hurt me at will.

"Then what? Didn't you do anything to him? Didn't you retaliate?" Chen Yi said.

What we need to understand about this issue is Zhong Liyun's energy back then.

Xiang Shi is the owner of four Internet cafes and other entertainment venues, and Zhong Liyun is, to put it bluntly, just a kid who has just had a full meal. When the two sides confront each other, it seems there is no suspense as to who will win and who will lose.

Xiang Shi smiled bitterly: "What can I do to him? The four Internet cafes are doing very well under Zhong Liyun's management, but apart from the profits, everything else is not mine. He has the absolute say.

Besides... Zhong Liyun himself has made a lot of friends. You should also know that in that era, having many friends was very important."

The six people sounded like the rise-to-riches story of a gangster boy.

From a wanderer to a movie projectionist, and from a movie projectionist to the manager of four Internet cafes, Zhong Liyun developed step by step and in a very short time reached the level that even Xiang Shi was wary of.

Before and after the millennium, was money useful? Of course it was useful, but not that useful.

When public security is good, money is omnipotent, like now, but when public security is average, money can only be icing on the cake.

Because at a certain era, many people like to abandon the law and take up arms.

There is a saying that goes, we are not afraid of you taking up the weapon of law, but we are afraid of you putting down the law and taking up weapons.

Xiang Shi's network of connections has no effect on a barefoot young man like Zhong Liyun who is risking his life. He is not afraid at all and will do whatever he wants.

Zhong Liyun did not elaborate on this part yesterday, but he provided the information about Xiang Shi, so he must have known that the special case team could get the information from Xiang Shi. Not only that, he also knew that it would not be difficult for the special case team to find Xiang Shi; it was just a matter of time.

Zhong Liyun saved the special case team time by only hiding the core and leaving everything else exposed.

What Chen Yi is thinking now is: Just don’t get out of control, details can determine success or failure.

"Then Zhong Liyun left?" he asked.

Xiang Shi nodded: "Yes, he went to a dance hall. This dance hall was about to close down. After he went there, it has been booming and almost took over an entire street."

When talking about the past, there was still a slight palpitation in Xiang Shi's eyes, which was a sigh of fear for the young.

Chen Yi: "You've done a lot of fighting, haven't you?"

Xiang Shi did not hide it: "In that era, who didn't fight? Whenever there was a fight, Zhong Liyun was definitely involved. He was always at the forefront, and his reputation was earned through fighting.

It's not difficult for you to understand Zhong Liyun. Just find a few people who were involved with him 20 years ago, or go to the prison and ask the older local criminals. Who doesn't know Brother Yun?"

Chen Yi: "Besides running entertainment venues, what else did he do?"

Xiang Shi flicked the ash off his cigarette: "I don't know."

Chen Yi: "Are you involved in gambling or drugs?"

It's definitely porn, no need to ask, otherwise who would go to your house to spend money? Coming out at night and spending money like water is not the right place to enjoy life.

Xiang Shi answered decisively: "As far as I know, no. Zhong Liyun does not touch gambling, and he hates drugs. For this reason, he did not hesitate to quarrel with the customers and personally arrested the drug addicts and drug dealers in the venue and sent them to the anti-drug team.

No wonder, his father died of drug abuse, he should hate drugs.

Before the Yunjie Group was established, he was already well-known in the anti-drug field. It was precisely because of his hatred of drugs and his contributions that the police would choose to turn a blind eye to certain things, considering his merits and demerits to be offset.”

Chen Yi picked out the words: "What are certain things?"

Xiang Shi was slightly stunned and said, "It's just some things. People in our line of work often have to report to the police station every now and then."

Chen Yi knew that he could not get anything out of Xiang Shi, otherwise Zhong Liyun would not have taken the initiative to reveal this person's name.

Judging from the information we have obtained so far, to put it simply, Zhong Liyun is a young leader who has turned from black to white. He knew that if he continued to stay in the underground, he would be in trouble sooner or later, so he made a decisive transition.

Facts have proven that outstanding people are successful in everything they do.

"What's the name of the dance hall owner?" Chen Yi said.

He didn't ask Zhong Liyun before, he was planning to ask Xiang Shi. In the early days, the martial arts world was not very big and the two sides must know each other, at least know each other's names.

Xiang Shi: "Xu Tai."

Chen Yi: "Double Xu, Tairan's Tai?"

Xiang Shi: “Yes.”

Chen Yi: "How old are you? Are you retired now?"

Xiang Shi is very familiar with Xu Tai: "He should be almost 60 years old, but he hasn't retired yet. After the dance hall closed, he switched to a billiard hall. Now it has developed into a chain of clubs, which is quite successful."

Chen Yi: "It sounds like you are the worst off."

Xiang Shi was helpless: "It's also my fault that I was obsessed. If I had kept Zhong Liyun back then, things might have been different."

Chen Yi: "Your leg has been broken. Didn't the new boss show any mercy to you?"

Xiang Shi was silent for a while, then said, "After Zhong Liyun left, I got a new store manager to run the business. He was also a young and tough guy. He was very dissatisfied with Zhong Liyun and wanted to challenge him. Guess what? He ran away overnight six months later.

Because of this incident, my business has plummeted.”

Chen Yi: “…” Qin Fei and the other four were also quite surprised. If this were put in an online novel, Zhong Liyun would definitely be the protagonist of a counterattack.

At this point, Xiang Shi couldn't help himself and asked tentatively: "What case are you investigating? Is it related to Zhong Liyun?"

He would not be surprised if a character like Zhong Liyun committed any shocking crime except for taking drugs, and he would even believe it if he was told that he kidnapped a billionaire.

Chen Yi did not answer. After obtaining the basic information of the person who ran away overnight that year, he left the Internet cafe.

Xiang Shi is at most the starting point of Zhong Liyun's rise, he is not the breakthrough point.

Xu Tai is someone who needs to be met.

The nightlife has just begun at twelve o'clock. The night in Dongli is much more lively than the day. The billiard club should not be closed. I just don't know if Xu Tai has already fallen asleep.

"Call and make an appointment." Chen Yi said after getting in the car.

He Xin called Xu Tai. The other party was not asleep and was at the club's headquarters. His attitude towards the police was similar to Xiang Shi's: polite, calm and composed.

The more you see it, the less intimidating it becomes.

Six members of the special case team drove to the city, entered a large billiard club, and met Xu Tai in the office in the inner room.

Compared with Xiang Shi, Xu Tai seems to be full of vigor and vitality. The jeans and casual suits make him look younger and he seems to be living a second life.

Chen Yi sat down in front of the exquisite tea table.

There were only two VIP seats at the tea table and a sofa behind it, but the five members of the special case team chose to stand.

This billiard hall is doing incredibly good business. When you pass by the hall, it is packed with people. It is obvious that they are making a fortune every day.

The reason for the good business is simple: there are people to play with.

With beautiful ladies wearing miniskirts, low-cut clothes and black stockings accompanying you for fights, how can business be bad?
I don't know whether there was such a transaction, but Xu Tai asked the special case team to come directly to the store to meet, so I think there should be no illegal business.

Having said that, even if there is no illegal transaction, customers can still make friends on their own and have a great time chatting.

Xu Tai poured tea.

Chen Yi saved time and directly mentioned Zhong Liyun.

"Mr. Zhong, we are old acquaintances."

Talking about Zhong Liyun, Xu Tai talked freely. He said that Zhong Liyun joined the dance hall when it was about to go bankrupt. Not only did he save the dance hall, but he also made his business expand rapidly, cannibalizing many of his competitors who had previously suppressed him.

As for the method used, it’s very simple: unreasonable.

If you want to reason, I will force you not to reason with me, turn the battlefield from disadvantage to advantage, and then make you submit.

Later, Zhong Liyun left and founded her own company. Due to the times, the dance hall gradually declined, so Xu Tai changed his career and opened a billiard hall.

It happened twenty years ago, so Xu Tai didn't hide much. It's impossible to pursue the "fighting and killing" now, as long as no one was killed, it's fine.

At that time, everyone still had a bottom line. As long as there was no big grudge, they generally would not kill you. At most, they would let you enjoy a two-day tour of the hospital. That was the rule.

If you lose your money, you can find a way to deal with it, but if someone dies, your life will be ruined.

"How much money do you offer him? Can he save up one million?" Chen Yi asked the key point.

One million is the registered capital of Yunjie Company, and it is paid-in capital.

The company's registered capital is divided into paid-in system and subscribed system, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The former must be paid in full into the capital verification account within the prescribed time, while the latter must be paid in installments within the agreed period and does not require the submission of a capital verification report.

In other words, Zhong Liyun can take out millions of assets at any time.

In that era, it was a huge sum of money.

Can a worker earn so much money?
Xu Tai replied: "It's not certain how much he was paid. He gets bonuses and commissions. One million... Impossible. He must have earned it himself. I didn't pay him that much money. The main reason is that he worked for a short time and quit to start his own company soon after."

Chen Yi asked: "Do you know how you make money?"

Xu Tai shook his head: "I don't know, I never ask about his affairs, as long as he can make money for me."

Chen Yi: “Never heard of it?”

Xu Tai smiled and said, "Comrade police officer, I am not lying. I really don't know. Ah Yun is a smart kid who can make a living anywhere. I think it is not difficult for him to make some money. There are still many ways to make money in the early years."

Chen Yi: "Are you still in touch now?"

Xu Tai: "Of course, we have a good relationship and we keep in touch occasionally, but I usually don't take the initiative to ask him out.

His identity is different now. He is the chairman of Yunjie Group and the anti-drug pioneer of Dongli. He is really amazing.

To be honest, I have no doubt that he can succeed, it is only a matter of time. But I never thought he could get to where he is today. The young are really to be feared, they are much better than me.

Xiang Shi mistook gold for silver. He thinks with his lower body and has a hole in his brain. "

He did not forget to curse Xiang Shi.

The two sides did not talk for long, and Chen Yi quickly said goodbye and left. From beginning to end, Xu Tai did not ask about the origins of the special case team, nor did he ask why they were investigating Zhong Liyun.

After the special case team left, Xu Tai in the room drank the tea in the cup, picked up his mobile phone and dialed Zhong Liyun's number.

A familiar voice soon sounded.

"Brother Tai." Although his status changed, Zhong Liyun's way of addressing him did not change. Obviously, he respected Xu Tai.

Xu Tai smiled and said, "Ayun, I haven't called you for a while. Guess what?"

Zhong Liyun said calmly: "The police are looking for you. You are from another place and you are very young."

Xu Tai was surprised: "You knew it a long time ago? OK, then I don't need to make this call, is that okay?"

Zhong Liyun: "It's okay. He found you through Xiang Shi. I think they talked about things from the early years, right?"

Xu Tai: "Yes, the key question is how did you make one million... Did you really make one million?"

He didn't pay attention to Yunjie's registered capital that year. He only knew that Zhong Liyun opened an adult products company and he went to support it.

Zhong Liyun: “Yeah.”

Xu Tai clicked his tongue: "You are awesome, kid. Be careful. The police won't come looking for you for no reason. Call me anytime if you need help."

……

Chen Yi walked out of the club door and looked back at the window of the office on the second floor.

The relationship between Xu Tai and Zhong Liyun is completely different from that between Xiang Shi and Xu Tai. They have a deep friendship between them, even though they don't contact each other often, their early friendship is still there.

It is very likely that Zhong Liyun will be informed of the police visit. This small matter is not enough to avoid suspicion.

In other words, Zhong Liyun knew that he was paying attention to the one million registered capital.

Since Xu Tai denied that the money was earned from him, the two of them should stop at their early friendship and have no cooperative relationship later, so there is no need to waste time on him.

"Yesterday when I asked about the first pot of gold, Zhong Liyun's answer was very vague. It seems that I asked the key question."

Chen Yi realized that the million-dollar funds were the source.
