Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

Chapter 83 Investigation! Nobody understands compliance better than me! [Seeking monthly votes!]

Sophisticated methods of subsidy fraud...

There are many illegal and criminal activities in this field that involve making money, such as using people's names to fraudulently obtain official subsidies, buying low and selling high, or even selling directly.

Among these methods is a sophisticated way to fraudulently obtain subsidies.

Although it was discontinued in 24, it already exists in 2002, which is...

"Taking up a quota for foreign affairs."

Xu De said casually, then turned to look at Lin Yue.

"Does the True Lord understand this?"

Lin Yue opened her mouth, then fell silent, and nodded, "I know."

then.

She took a deep breath, and her clear voice rang in Wang Chao's ears. She said, "That Zheng Tong bought some beautiful, good-looking, and healthy children from human traffickers, and then used his own channels to forge a legitimate abandoned child identity."

"Then let the Midori City Family Welfare Home adopt it."

"Then the child will be transferred directly to a welfare institution in the provincial capital."

It's easy to understand.

This can be interpreted as Zheng Tong buying a piece of candy from a small shop and then giving it to the others.

But the problem is...

"How can we make a profit from this?"

Wang Chao was surprised.

Zheng Tong bought the sugar "100% for profit." He gave the sugar to others, hoping to make money, so those others had to pay a higher price than the supermarket.

But here is the problem.

If someone wants candy, why don't they just go to the supermarket?

The same reason.

Welfare institutions in provincial capitals and major cities want children, but haven't they been adopting children all along?

"The key point is these large welfare institutions..."

""

Lin Yue paused, then uttered something that very few people knew.

"There are available slots for international students!"

"That is, there are quotas for foreign couples to adopt abandoned children from East Asia."

Most people probably haven't thought of that.

If a foreigner wants to adopt an orphan from the East, all they have to do is say a few words?

No, no.

Ninety-nine percent of orphanages are not qualified to allow foreigners to adopt children.

In other words, there are limits and quotas for foreigners to adopt children each year.

For example, if Thanh Goh province has 1,000 slots this year, then 50 slots will be allocated to one of the large welfare homes, and this welfare home will be given certain qualifications and privileges to be selected as a high-level welfare home.

"Each time an adopter adopts a child, they will generally donate three thousand dollars, which is 20,000 Dongguo currency."

"Foreigners are human beings too."

"They must have their own requirements for adopting children, so if there isn't a suitable one, they naturally won't adopt one."

"At this point, the welfare home will use its channels to find smaller welfare homes in the lower tiers. If a suitable one is found, the child will be transferred to a larger welfare home and then adopted by that home."

"Then, the large welfare home will give all of the donated three thousand dollars to the small welfare home."

Lin Yue slowly began to speak, explaining the logic behind Zheng Tong's "profitability" very clearly.

Human traffickers make money, but they don't make money either.

In 2002, human traffickers even sold them wholesale for 800-1500 yuan each.

Zheng Tong took advantage of this rule to buy a healthy child at a low price and then consume the donated money at a high price.

What?

What if the purchased items aren't selected, resulting in sunk costs? It doesn't matter.

Young, healthy children will naturally be adopted by other normal families, and their donations will offset the costs.

Food, clothing, and accommodation are subsidized and reimbursed by the government.

If you can get three thousand dollars... that's a net profit of twenty thousand dollars right from the start.

Twenty thousand yuan in 2002!

"wrong!"

Wang Chao suddenly realized something, his brows furrowed, and he pinched his chin.

"Then... what's the big welfare home getting out of it? Not leaving a single penny of the three thousand dollars? What are they after!?"

Yes.

This is a very tricky angle.

Large welfare homes not only consume a limited number of places, but also require subsidies to support the children, and don't even accept donations. What's the point of all this effort?

"Because of the assessment."

"There are three key criteria in the evaluation of advanced welfare institutions, one of which is the number of international adoptions completed."

Lin Yue shook her head and explained, "The government allocates 50 foreign-related places to senior welfare homes every year."

"If all the resources are used and the utilization rate is high, then we'll get extra points and can be rated as a 'model welfare institution' (first-class institution)."

"vice versa."

talking.

She paused, then added, "As for why they seem so eager... it's similar to the research funding available to research labs in academia."

"You didn't use up all the funds this year."

"The government will reduce funding next year, so some schools will try every means to spend all the money left over at the end of the year so that they will still have plenty of funds next year."

Researchers are forced to use up all their funding.

such as.

If you research something and the school approves 1000 million yuan in funding for you, but you only use 500 million yuan this year, then next year the school will reduce the funding to 800 million yuan, or even 700 million yuan.

But you can't guarantee that you'll only use 500 million every time. What if you exceed the limit but don't have the money?

Therefore, in order to avoid having less money next year, I must spend the remaining 500 million by the end of the year no matter what.

In this way, it becomes clear that your research lab spent at least 1000 million this year, and if you reduce the budget, the experiment will have to be abandoned, so you'll have to spend another 1000 million next year.

"The same applies to high-end welfare homes, but their performance is assessed more directly."

"This year, the welfare home has fifty slots for foreign nationals. If you can't use them all, then next year you'll have to reduce it to thirty."

"A sharp reduction in the number of places will trigger a series of chain reactions."

Lin Yue spoke up and explained clearly about Zheng Tong's purchase of the child.

Although the quota for foreign nationals was supposed to end in 24, it still existed in 2002. "Therefore, the high-class welfare home wouldn't accept any money."

"They just want to use up the spots, but the small orphanage is short of money, so it goes back and forth..."

"7

"This model has thus become operational; it's a sophisticated way to defraud subsidies."

The words were spoken.

Wang Chao felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and instantly understood.

No wonder Zheng Tong would risk buying a child from a human trafficker when he had nothing better to do.

No wonder Xu De checked the personnel movement records from the very beginning!

"Could it be that Cheng Tao...?"

Wang Chao suddenly widened his eyes and spoke in astonishment.

Xu De shook his head and denied it outright: "No, Cheng Tao didn't do it... or rather, although she was using it to make money, she didn't cross the line or buy from human traffickers."

"The children transferred to the high-end welfare home are all legitimate abandoned infants."

Although it sounds like there's some kind of shady business involved.

But in reality, it did not violate any laws; it was within a reasonable range, legal and compliant, and even the police couldn't find fault with it.

Only Zheng Tong was the one who hired human traffickers!

It just so happens that Liu Jingqi was purchased.

"In other words..."

"Liu Jingqi was sold to Green Forest City as a healthy child and was given to a foreign couple for adoption."

Lin Yue steered the conversation back on track, speaking thoughtfully.

"It's just that she was eventually adopted by Liu Hao and his wife."

Wang Chao was in high spirits, with a serious expression, and his hands were on the steering wheel.

"What should we say? Should we call the police or the prosecutor's office?!"

This involves human trafficking, and a particularly heinous one at that...

The police will definitely have to intervene.

but...

"None of them."

In the passenger seat, Xu De pondered for a moment, then finally shook his head.

Wang Chao was taken aback. "You're not doing it?!"

"None of us will do it!"

Xu De nodded.

"First of all, Zheng Tong has already retired, and the children he bought have been properly settled, with adoptive families."

"Secondly, he has been retired for at least six years!"

"Six years... God knows where the human traffickers went. The police will take the case, but they won't pay much attention to it."

"Or rather... they don't exert much effort in thoroughly investigating human trafficking that spans long periods of time, but instead focus their energy on reforming the Green Forest City Welfare Home."

The difficulty in cracking down on human trafficking is simply too great.

What just happened is relatively easy to handle; the entire district is under police lockdown, and people are being arrested directly.

But six years have passed...

It's definitely impossible to find them. At most, we can compile a list of the child's characteristics and publish it to see if any match the characteristics of families searching for their children... although the other party may not even see the police's message.

Should we just look for Liu Jingqi? After all, we already have some leads.

"Is this cross-city police cooperation spanning nearly two thousand kilometers?"

Xu De spoke, and as he spoke, he himself sighed.

It wasn't him mocking.

It's so slow!

Reports were submitted, meetings were held, Cheng Tao and Zheng Tong were questioned about the case, Zheng Tong insisted on his case, Zheng Tong admitted to it, meetings were held, discussions were held, applications were submitted...

Whether it can be done in a month is another matter!

If there is objective evidence to prove that Liu Jingqi is an adult, that would be acceptable.

However, the five or six years old Cheng Tao mentioned falls precisely within the margin of error (approximately 2 years) stated by the forensic appraisal institution, making it entirely possible to classify her age as 16.

The trial will continue.

and.

What if Liu Jingqi says she wasn't abducted? Then it will take even longer.

After all, Liu Jingqi has already been arrested, and the longer the delay goes on, the less impact it will have.

Anyway...

"If you're willing to spend the next six months here, then you can prioritize reporting it to the police and letting them investigate."

"Of course, I don't mean we shouldn't call the police."

"Instead, when they called the police, they only cut out Liu Jingqi's part and only mentioned that the welfare home was embezzling subsidies," while we did so privately.

'

Xu De said casually.

Upon hearing this, Wang Chao immediately fell into deep thought.

"Isn't what we're doing against the rules?"

"Violation? What violation!?"

Xu De suddenly retorted, his face serious, "We're not going to retrieve the files, nor are we going to the Civil Affairs Bureau."

"It was just a trip to Lianshan County for tourism, to wander around and chat with the locals."

17

"Where is this against the rules?!"

No one understands legality better than Xu De!

The words were spoken.

Wang Chao was speechless for a moment, unable to utter a single word, and finally silently gave a thumbs up.

Upon seeing this, Xu De adjusted his posture and glanced back at Lin Yue in the back seat of the car.

"And you, True Lord?"

"Since you've all said that, what other opinions can I possibly have?"

Lin Yue sighed and shrugged, which was a sign of agreement.

Whether or not you inform the police, whether or not you intercept Liu Jingqi, it will not affect the police's investigation time for Liu Jingqi. Why?

Even if the other party knew about Liu Jingqi's matter in advance, they would still have to finish investigating the entire case before they could send a few people to Lianshan County.

They exploit an information gap...

Yet they were able to investigate the case quickly and without violating any regulations!

"Then let's go."

Lin Yue nodded.

However, Lianshan County is nearly 2,000 kilometers away from them, so it will probably take some time.

Xu De thought for a moment, then asked, "Does the True Lord know how to use hand seals?"

Lin Yue was taken aback, and subconsciously replied, "What incantation?"

Xu De gestured with his hands to indicate the name, and then described it aloud: "It's that kind of magic technique where you make a finger seal, and then you can shrink the distance to an inch, running hundreds of kilometers in the blink of an eye!"

"True Lord, do you know how to pinch?"

Lin Yue:.

Lin Yue fell silent; she hadn't been so utterly speechless in a very long time.

"To be honest, I suddenly realize that you can be quite talkative at times..."

'

"Would you know how to pinch him, True Lord?"

"Come closer..."

'

"...Fine...why are you pinching me!"

"Hmph..."

""

That day, the 18th, at 1:30 pm.

Midori City, Detention Center.

Inside the interrogation room.

"Liu Jingqi, right? It's not too late to confess now. Lu Guangjun has already confessed everything."

Prosecutor Huang Shi sat across the table, his gloomy eyes fixed on the person in front of him.

This is the interrogation room of the detention center.

The surroundings were dark and gloomy, with no light, making the whole room feel incredibly oppressive.

Liu Jingqi sat opposite Huang Shi. Seeing Huang Shi's behavior, she immediately sneered and leaned back in her chair, clearly too lazy to pay attention to him.

"you!"

Huang Shi's expression turned somewhat unpleasant; this was the first time he had encountered someone so stubborn and unyielding.

"The police have already spoken with Lü Guangjun, and the crime scene matches his description perfectly. You can't escape the charge of intentional homicide."

"Liu Jingqi, if you confess now, compensate and apologize to the family, there's still a sliver of hope to salvage the situation!"

The words were spoken.

He stared intently at the other person.

He didn't plan to continue interrogating the other party yesterday, but when he went to sleep, the faces of Zhao Li and Yang Jiale appeared in his dreams.

In my dream.

Zhao Li saved enough money to install a brand new air conditioner for Yang Jiale. Yang Jiale excelled in his studies and was admitted to a good school. He needed to earn money to treat Zhao Li's leg. Sun Zhigang personally organized a celebration banquet for his son's admission. Yang Huan was still mischievous. The family was happy and prepared for the New Year.

The dream ends.

A cold December wind howled through the streets, the victim's home was shattered, and Yang Huan would face only desolation and deathly silence on New Year's Eve.

In the dimly lit house, a person stands alone, silent and lost in thought.

then.

Huangshi is here.

only...

"Even if I don't apologize, I still have a chance for leniency."

Liu Jingqi wore a playful expression, clearly not taking the other person's words seriously at all.

"Then why should I apologize?"

"you!"

Huang Shi slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and looked extremely gloomy.

Yet they were helpless against the other party.

Arrogant... I've never seen such an arrogant person before, yet there's absolutely nothing I can do about it, and reality is exactly as they say.

Even if she doesn't apologize, her bad attitude should be treated leniently!

The law clearly stipulates that those who are 16 years old should be treated leniently.

In the legal provisions, the so-called "shall" is not a suggestion.

It's almost a necessity, it's forced!

Unless Liu Jingqi's murder was extremely brutal and heinous, she will not be severely punished despite her unrepentant attitude.

And at that very moment...

"Beep beep beep~"

The phone on the table suddenly started vibrating.

Huang Shi glanced at the caller ID and was about to hang up when he paused slightly after seeing the caller ID.

next second.

He stood up, walked to the side, and dialed the number.

Liu Jingqi didn't seem to care at all. She sat at the interrogation table, fiddling with her fingers. Clearly, she was indifferent to the deaths of Yang Jiale and Zhao Li.

"Feed?"

Huang Shi answered the call, saying, "Speak your mind."

On the other end of the phone.

Xu De's voice came through, "It sounds like Prosecutor Huang isn't in a good mood today?"

"Stop nagging!"

Huang Shi felt a sense of unease and confusion.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to let you know that I'll be out of the province for the next couple of days, I'm out of town."

Huang Shi was taken aback.

Where did you go?

Huang Shi inquired.

The words "Lianshan County" came from the loudspeaker.

Huang Shi was even more puzzled. "Lianshan County?"

"Where is this place?"

"It's nothing, just a small county town. I had some business there..."

'

"A small county town?"

Huang Shi was a little confused.

Although the second hearing is still a week away, which seems like plenty of time, but...

If you go out of the province, it takes at least four days for the round trip and adjustment!

Furthermore...

What is Lianshan County? Where is the other person going and what are they doing if they have nothing better to do?

Huang Shi frowned more and more, and kept asking Xu De questions.

only...

What he didn't notice was...

In a daze.

Liu Jingqi, who was sitting in a chair at the interrogation table, picking at her nails with a playful smile on her face, suddenly stopped.

She looked up at Huang Shi, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Lian...Lianshan County!?

Huang Shi asked, "What are you doing there if you have nothing better to do?"
