The stolen magic is a bit magical

Chapter 46 Fengcheng Jewelry Store

Captain Zhang turned his eyes to Wang Donghe.

Wang Donghe shook his head slightly: "According to my analysis, Sister Feng should be the third person among the Five Tiger Generals. Her status cannot be higher than Brother Tiger!"

"That's puzzling. Is there a missing piece in Brother Hu's squandering account book?" Lin Xiaosu said.

Wang Donghe frowned slightly, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

In modern society, income and status are closely related. In an organization, it is common practice that higher-ranking officials have higher salaries.

This is even more true for criminal groups, where the higher the status, the higher the income.

There is no reason why Brother Hu has less than Sister Feng, so what’s the problem?
Zhou Mei said: "Brother Hu's property is clearly displayed here. The valuation is roughly the same. The account balance is also displayed here. I believe it is accurate. There is only one thing that is not transparent, and that is the mistress he kept. No one knows how much money he spent on this mistress. The same is true for the other three male tigers among the Five Tiger Generals. The situation of keeping mistresses is unknown. Only Sister Feng does not keep a lover... Could this be the reason why Sister Feng personally squanders more money?"

Is this the case?
It's usually true!
Men will become poor if they fall in love!

Women don’t need to give anything in a relationship (except their bodies), so women are more free with money…

Even if it is a criminal group, those people who keep mistresses will also divide their assets.

Lin Xiaosu smiled slightly: "What Officer Zhou said may be the key, so it is necessary to find out how much money these four mistresses took from the four tigers and where they spent it?"

Sun Yang was confused.

The topic went around in circles and returned to the original track.

He originally thought that this Lin guy really deserved a spanking for proposing such a big project that was difficult to investigate. If Captain Zhang was tempted and assigned this task to him, he would be in trouble.

Later, as things turned out, it turned out that Captain Zhang had arranged Wang Donghe to do this three years ago.

The job was done, the huge pressure on him was gone, and just when he was feeling grateful, this kid performed this song again.

If Captain Zhang gave him the task, he would have to shed a layer of skin. Are you here to mess with me? I admit that I was a little rude when I first dealt with you, but you can't be so petty...

Wang Donghe frowned, "Captain Zhang, although we must investigate the case thoroughly, if there are too many details, it will eventually interfere with the main line. Do you think it is really necessary to expand this scope?"

Captain Zhang turned his head, and was a little undecided for a moment.

It took three years to investigate the Five Tigers.

Now let’s check the four mistresses…

Lin Xiaosu said, "Well, you don't need to investigate the personal lives of these mistresses in detail. You just need to grasp the main thread and see where they mainly spend their money, and that's it."

"If that's the case, it's feasible! Donghe, Sun Yang, act immediately!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Both of them received the order at the same time.

Lin Xiaosu also stood up: "It's very late tonight, I'm going back first!"

"Okay, thank you for your hard work! I'll let Zhou Mei contact you when there is any news." Captain Zhang stood up to see the guest off.

Zhou Mei wanted to send him off, but Lin Xiaosu refused: "Forget it, you didn't sleep yesterday, you should get a good night's sleep today, I'll go back by myself."

He went.

In the reception room, Captain Zhang said with a smile: "Haha... He is still a considerate and warm-hearted man!"

"A warm man?" Zhou Mei chuckled. "With just one word from him, Wang Donghe and Sun Yang worked overtime overnight. I guess these two definitely don't think he's warm at all..."

Three days later, the drizzle was finally replaced by clear blue skies.

As soon as the rain stops, the breath of summer comes.

Early in the morning, just as Fengcheng Detective Agency opened, Zhou Mei's black car was parked on the side of the road.

She got out of the car and went into the detective agency.

Miao Ruolan went to pour her tea with mixed feelings.

This feeling mainly originated from the night three days ago, when she was settling the final payment with Sister Zhuang, Lin Xiaosu and Zhou Mei went shopping and did not return until the early morning.

She didn't know what to ask him, she just felt a little disappointed...

As a result, she has been in a very depressed mood for the past two days, inexplicably depressed...

Today, she came again, and she was not wearing a police uniform, just like an ordinary woman on a date with her boyfriend...

Did they really take that step?
Zhou Mei took the teacup handed over by Miao Ruolan and raised her eyes: "The task you and Captain Zhang set the night before yesterday has been preliminarily completed. This is the result of the investigation."

A piece of paper was handed to Lin Xiaosu.

In one sentence, Miao Ruolan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. The night before yesterday?
It was the night he went shopping with her!
What was the task he agreed with Captain Zhang?
That night, they were not shopping as a couple? They were investigating a case?

Is it true?

If only it were true.

Miao Ruolan didn't know why, but the disappointment she had originally felt was suddenly reduced by half.

Lin Xiaosu took the paper and glanced at it. His eyes suddenly brightened...

"What did you see?" Zhou Mei asked.

Lin Xiaosu said: "Let me ask you a question. If I give you 10 million, what would you do with it?"

Zhou Mei said: "I might save five million, buy an apartment, buy a nice car, and use the extra money to buy my favorite luxury goods and experience a wealthy life."

"So, buying luxury goods is only the third order of your fund allocation." "Yes!"

"Ruolan, what about you?" Lin Xiaosu looked at Miao Ruolan.

Miao Ruolan shook her head: "It's impossible for me to have 10 million, so I haven't thought about this problem."

"It's not too late to think about it now!"

"I saved it all...Oh, I left half for my brother to get married, and I earned the interest on the rest," said Miao Ruolan.

"So you're definitely not going to spend all your money on jewelry?"

Miao Ruolan's eyes widened: "Jewelry is just for decoration. You can't eat it or wear it. If you have the means, buy one or two pieces. If you spend all your money on them, then... isn't that crazy?"

Lin Xiaosu laughed: "Sister Feng used almost all of her money to buy jewelry. These four mistresses are the same type as her. They also used almost all of their money to buy jewelry. Ruolan said that this situation is a disease! It's understandable if one person is sick, but if five women are sick at the same time, it's not a disease, but a suspicious point!"

Zhou Mei's eyes lit up: "Do you think this is the chain of interest transfer?"

"Yes! There are two types of black market capital chains, one is horizontal and the other is vertical. The horizontal chain is to open another door from the source; the vertical chain is more mysterious, which is to transform the chain to a certain extent and use legal forms to cover up illegal transactions."

"Do you suspect that they are laundering money through jade?" Zhou Mei let out a breath.

"Yes! Do you know why? Because jade is something that cannot be priced. It is just a piece of stone dug out from the ground. The cost of a worthless stone is the same as that of a top-grade jade worth hundreds of millions. So its value depends on the market, not on the cost."

Zhou Mei held up the teacup and pondered for a long time: "Normal women like jewelry and jade, but jewelry and jade are the third order of consumption. One person can be crazy about jewelry and jade, but five people related to the same case are crazy about them, which is indeed suspicious. However, even if it is money laundering, it is difficult to obtain evidence because their transactions are reasonable. Everyone knows that the price of jade is nonsense, but everyone agrees. You say that what they bought is not worth the price, but they think it is worth it. If they sell it, maybe someone will buy it at a high price."

Lin Xiaosu said: "That's true, but you shouldn't ignore the other chain!"

"what?"

"Transfer of benefits itself is not the purpose, but a transaction!" Lin Xiaosu said: "Since it is a transaction, there will naturally be a flow of 'goods'!"

"Goods?" Zhou Mei's heart was pounding. The so-called goods were, of course, drugs...

"Have you never been able to find out where the goods circulating in the Fengcheng black market come from?"

"Yes!"

Lin Xiaosu said: "Just a reminder, the goods in Fengcheng Jewelry Store are a one-stop service for raw stone processing and sales. Its raw stones come from Qingmian Country!"

The teacup in Zhou Mei's hand suddenly shook...

After a moment, a closed loop formed in her heart.

Fengcheng is located at the junction of three provinces and has convenient transportation.

That’s why it’s a black market gathering place.

But where do these smuggled goods come from?

No one can find out.

Now, she seemed to have found a clear path...

Fengcheng Jewelry Store focuses on cutting and processing raw stones and making jade jewelry.

The biggest advantage of this approach is that it conveys a strong sense of confidence to customers, that is, their products are genuine and there is no possibility of pickling or counterfeiting - if you have any doubts, you can even go to the jade processing workshop and see the entire process of stone cutting, taking pieces, making pieces, polishing and grinding with your own eyes.

This also led to their extremely hot business.

Not to mention that the noble ladies of Fengcheng were fascinated by it, even the noble ladies of Jiangcheng came in droves to buy it.

As far as doing business goes, it's been successful.

But what if it’s another business?

It's also very convenient.

The raw stone comes from the Qingmian Kingdom, which is itself a drug kingdom.

It is a legitimate business, and its trucks carrying raw stones run openly across the country.

What if I bring some private goods?
As long as the means are sophisticated enough, who can find out?
This solves the most difficult transportation route problem of black goods...

Funding is another problem for black goods, and here it happens to be a logical loop...

They do not use regular bank transfers or ostentatious cash transactions. Instead, they incorporate elements of money laundering and use the legitimate sales of jade and jadeite to transfer profits.

In fact, it is very risky for anyone to get every penny in this black market.

The same is true for Ghost Eye Old Seven.

But what if he was a jewelry store?
Did he easily get the largest share of funds?

The role played by Feng Jie and the four mistresses was to transfer the funds to his account in a legal manner...

Five women, judging from the amount verified so far, it’s close to 100 million!

God knows how many other people are doing the same thing?
Lin Xiaosu slowly raised his eyes and said, "Let's check. When did it receive the goods?"

Zhou Mei said: "I just checked, a batch of raw stones were sent to the processing plant the day before yesterday... What you mean is..."

"I mean, maybe we can go to this famous jewelry store in Fengcheng and take a look around!"

"The two of us?" Zhou Mei said.

"Ruolan is going too!" Lin Xiaosu said, "This has been my dream for many years. When I have enough money one day, I will take two beauties to visit a jewelry store..."
