Volume 3: Major cases occur one after another, and the police save the situation Chapter 01: Big Cases Are Hidden and Difficult to Investigate
"Internet fraud is divided into different regions and age structures, and there are also technical barriers. Telephone fraud to make people transfer money to a card is one type, sending text messages to people to steal bank card passwords and identity information and then stealing money is another type, and I pretend to be a high-end organization and then deceive people into investing continuously, which is also a type..."
"There is a very obvious loophole for those pretending to be local professionals, which is the accent. Almost all of us speak Mandarin with an accent. You can't feel it when talking to locals, but it is very obvious when talking to outsiders. A courier with a clear outsider accent is definitely a scammer."
…
Ji Yunbing can not only summarize these scams from a general perspective, but also start from the details and supplement the things that the police don’t quite understand, such as the batch uploading of verification codes and creating a fake website to obtain a large amount of information.
A group of young policemen listened with great interest and shouted "Wow!", but Liang Peihe was still a little dissatisfied.
This level is not enough to really leverage anything.
Ji Yunbing was originally a very proud person, but after being beaten down by Zhou Liu, he became particularly humble:
"Officer, you are talking about cases like p2p, which require the endorsement of local leaders with great influence, plus hiring big stars to expose them online. I remember these cases, with such high rates of return. This is financial fraud, with low technical content, and mainly relies on personal connections. But this is killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, and it can only be done once. The p2p cases in the past few years have been solved by the police in recent years, right?"
Liang Peihe nodded slightly. As he had been in a leadership position for many years, he did not show his emotions on his face. He motioned Ji Yunbing to continue.
Ji Yunbing scratched his head;
"Also, there was an information leak at Binance overseas. That was billions or even tens of billions of bitcoins. Do you really believe that someone could crack such a difficult password? It must have been an insider who stole the information."
This group of young police officers had many questions for Ji Yunbing, the first of which was:
"How much money do you make doing this?"
Ji Yunbing sniffed:
"Some people make money, some don't. Our country is different from other countries. If you find a loophole abroad, you report it to the manufacturer, and the manufacturer will reward you with US dollars. But in our country, everyone will choose to call the police first, and you will be sent to jail if you are not careful .
Before I came here, the most profitable way I knew was online gambling, which could make tens of millions a day.
Another way is to cheat the elderly. The pensions of old men and women nowadays are much higher than those of young people working nowadays. Young people need loans for consumption, but these old men and women have saved their money and are reluctant to spend it. They are a sure bet. "
Shang Tiankun was certainly not satisfied with this question:
“I’m asking how much money you make?”
Ji Yunbing said unhappily:
"I have a poor eye for people, and I don't have a good eye for the market. I also have social phobia. How can I make money? When I was selling traffic..."
There was nothing more to talk about after this point. It was almost time for dinner. Liang Peihe looked at his watch and asked them to send the person back.
Ji Yunbing looked at the prison gate in the distance, then looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar prison, raised his hand, and reported:
"Report, I have a request."
Liang Peihe nodded;
"explain."
Ji Yunbing licked his lips:
"I want to drink Coke again, but I'm afraid I won't be able to drink it in the next three years."
Liang Peihe nodded:
"Can."
Fortunately, the detention center was in a development zone and there was a KFC nearby, so Mao Jian and Fan Di went and bought some.
Mao Jian leaned back in his chair and yawned:
"I thought this guy was so amazing, but actually he knows everything Saturday and Monday can do, and he doesn't know everything Saturday and Monday can do."
Fan Di said:
"No, no, no, you can't think like that. You see, the cases we handle are at least tens of millions of dollars. Ji Yunbing also has millions of dollars on him. I think Director Liang wants to tell us that if you commit a crime, no matter how capable you are, as long as you commit a crime, you will go to jail and lose your freedom. You won't even be able to drink a cup of Coke."
Mao Jian looked at :
"Haha, why can't I see that Director Liang has that intention."
Here, Ji Yunbing finally drank another cup of Coke. He was no longer as arrogant as when he first came out. He covered his face with his hands and cried very painfully:
"Three years and three years, when will I be able to drink Coke with ice and bubbles again?"
At this moment, he truly regretted what he had done before. He regretted getting involved in the black industry, regretted using the Internet to commit crimes, and regretted going further and further down the path of electronic fraud.
But at this moment of repentance, it was too late.
This guy told the police almost everything he knew.
Lei Ming and Zhou Liuyi completed the imprisonment procedures for this fellow, and Lei Ming promised him:
"According to the policy, you have cooperated very well. We will tell the staff of this case, and the judge should give a lighter sentence when sentencing."
Ji Yunbing said thank you several times in a row. He dragged the heavy chain and looked in the direction of the source.
After entering, Zhou Liu repeatedly wanted to see this guy, but he directly refused.
This selected group received very little information and case files, and Liang Peihe didn't even put much pressure on everyone. There were no targets or tasks. It was like they were looking for inspiration, which made people who were used to high-intensity work very uncomfortable.
This rhythm is so weird.
Everyone quickly found their own fun. Lei Ming continued to help her former colleagues look for clues and was very busy. Her professional level and professional judgment were rare in the criminal police industry.
Mao Jian would contact Jing Heming privately to discuss modeling of the three-part, five-eye and five-facial features. The two of them had a lot of topics to talk about. Jing Heming would even often come to Mao Jian to have dinner after get off work.
Shang Tiankun seemed to have a masochistic physique. He often went to Xiang Zhun for fighting training. He was beaten black and blue, but he still felt so good that he wanted to continue the next day.
A young policewoman like Zhu Jiayin is quite inconspicuous, but she also has her own fun. After finishing her clerical work at work, she will secretly play games for a while, and then order all the takeaway snacks around.
Sheng Changfeng, like before, started collecting clues from the outside, but as his professionalism became more and more obvious, he now looks more and more like a policeman.
…
When a person is relaxed, he is his truest self.
Saturdays and Mondays are the most interesting. I either go to the park to watch old men play chess, or go to the Internet cafe with a group of high school students I met from nowhere. We stay up all night almost every night. The next day, I put a towel on my shoulders, carry a basin and wear flip-flops to take a shower.
What great energy.
The other criminal police, on the contrary, were at a loss as to what to do when they were on vacation. Most of them just slept at home or had a big drink with a group of people.
This is quite fresh for a Saturday.
Liang Peihe slapped his head and almost forgot that this kid was only nineteen years old this year. Although he worked with a bunch of older guys who could be his fathers every day, this kid was actually still very young.
This kid played in the sea every day, and Liang Peihe drove him out.
The car drove along the development zone and headed towards the suburbs.
"Director Liang, this case is very important, right?"
Liang Peihe said nothing.
Saturday was leaning back in my chair. It was already late autumn, the cold air was blowing in, and the green hills in the distance were a vast expanse of black.
In such weather, it would be most pleasant to invite a few people, eat hotpot, and drink a little white wine.
But for a busy man like Liang Peihe, the reason he was called out was definitely not to find a restaurant to take him out for dinner.
Liang Peihe is actually very old-fashioned. He believes in saving when possible and spending when possible. If he can spend 100 yuan a month in the cafeteria, he would not spend 100 yuan a meal outside.
A city not only has bright lights, but also many dark places. When it gets dark, this boundless black looks more obvious, more gloomy and terrifying.
Liang Peihe glanced at Zhou Liuyi, meaning for him to continue speaking.
Zhou Liuyi looked at Liang Peihe:
“It’s an unfinished building.”
Liang Peihe remained silent, but the car drove all the way past the unfinished building, which stretched for more than a kilometer. It was all dark, but during the day, this was an abandoned construction site.
Such a large community is expected to have 3,000 households and a population of over 20,000.
Among them, there are employees of many enterprises and institutions in the city, migrant workers from other places, and people who bought houses at preferential prices because of talent introduction...
The scale was huge and the losses were heavy.
The average down payment for each family is over 700,000 yuan, and the loan ranges from 500,000 yuan to several million yuan.
The fastest-built phase has not yet been delivered, and for the slowest, the developer has not even demolished the houses of the relocated residents since the relocation, let alone started construction.
shocking!
Wherever it goes, there are countless families' life savings lost and tears shed.
This is a dilemma that is difficult to resolve in documents, because there are too many people and units involved, and it takes a long time to unravel the problem layer by layer and recover the money that should have been in the escrow account.
This is a pretty grand process.
Therefore, there may be complicated economic investigation cases that may take three or four years to handle.
Zhou Liuyi guessed correctly, but Liang Peihe felt even more depressed:
"Look at these unfinished residential areas, Jinxiu Huacheng, Shangtian Yipin, Jiangshan Xiumei, each of them has a fancy name, but they are all unfinished buildings."
The car passed through the darkness and arrived at a bright street. There were tall buildings everywhere, but every building was full of lights, and the restaurant downstairs was crowded with people.
Compared with the community with unfinished buildings, this place is like heaven and the other is hell.
Many families came out to eat, with children running around in the middle of the tables, laughing loudly. The proprietress was counting the bill behind the wine cabinet, dividing the bill with the guests, and smilingly said she would come again next time.
Liang Peihe ordered two bowls of noodles, which looked bland. Zhou Liu kept frowning:
"What's so delicious about such plain noodles?"
This leader is too stingy. In such a big restaurant, he only ordered a bowl of vegetarian noodles for him.
That’s all, what’s the point of charging into battle?
Liang Peihe laughed:
"You'll know if you try it."
After the noodles came, Zhou Liu tasted them carelessly, and then ate the whole bowl of noodles in big mouthfuls, leaving no soup at all:
"How come this vegetarian noodle is so delicious, chewy, refreshing and fragrant."
Liang Peihe ate his noodles slowly:
"I thought so at first, too. What's so delicious about a vegetarian noodle? But I got addicted to it. I drove here after get off work for a week straight to eat here. Later, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I went to the kitchen to see how the noodles were made.
In fact, what is used is broth, which is made from old hens and pork bones. A spoonful of it is also poured when stir-frying vegetarian dishes.
As for the noodles, just mash the pork into a paste and add it when kneading the dough. It will taste chewy, smooth and delicious.
Things that look simple may not necessarily be simple inside. "
Saturday's sudden realization:
"I remember, I've also read such a story, there was a landlord who liked to eat the vegetarian noodles from the temple, but the cook at home couldn't make the same taste. He was puzzled, so he tied up the monk from the temple, dragged him out and beat him up. The monk then said that meat was added to the flour used to knead the noodles."
Liang Peihe nodded.
Of course, he didn't just want to take Zhou Liuyi out for a meal of noodles, but it was a metaphor to find out the hidden things behind the seemingly high-sounding things.
Before it was revealed, everyone was very secretive and unwilling to speak out.
This is a dilemma for Zhou Liuyi.
Just as Director Fu Sheng had estimated at the time, Liang Peihe had a particularly big case on his hands, and he was recruiting talents for that case.
Under the huge interests and complicated relationships, Zhou Liuyi's life may not be guaranteed.
Zhou Liuyi's original diet was very simple. He was raised by his mother Luo Meixia with bowls of instant noodles.
In the second half of the night, almost everyone in the anti-fraud center was asleep, only the lights in the duty room were still on. Xu Zhongping was also taking a break from his busy schedule to read an online novel. When Saturday morning put the midnight snack on the table for him, he glanced at him.
Xu Zhongping hurriedly turned off the computer:
"Our daily work is too demanding, and I need some leisure time."
Saturday smiled and said:
"I brought you some food."
Xu Zhongping opened the shell of the takeaway box and frowned when he saw the plain noodles. As a young and strong man, he didn't like bland food. But after taking a mouthful of noodles, the expression on his face became happy and his brows relaxed.
This guy was reading a simple fantasy novel about cultivating immortals, but he was actually reading a pirated version. It would have been fine if he had just read a pirated version, but he actually replaced all the names of the protagonists in the novel with his own.
Xu Zhongping shrugged:
“When I was young, I wondered whether to go to Tsinghua University or Peking University. After the college entrance examination, I realized that the schools I liked didn’t like me.
When I was a kid, I dreamed of finding a very impressive job that could change the course of human history. But when I started working, I discovered that even solving a small case was not that easy. I was only a very small part of the case team.
I can only read novels.”
When Zhou Lu Yi went to Liang Peihe's office, Liang Peihe was obviously waiting for him. He took out several stacks of file bags, some new and some old, with different unit numbers. These were all collected by him over the past two years.
There is a large safe in his office, which is not used to store gold and silver, but to store major case materials.
Liang Peihe asked Saturday:
"Have you ever had access to confidential documents?"
Saturday raised an eyebrow:
“Does the college entrance examination paper count?”
The two people smiled at each other.
Liang Peihe took out a document and gave it to Zhou Liuyi:
"Sign it."
I flipped through it on Saturday, signed my name first, and then continued reading.
This action made Liang Peihe feel a little surprised.
Saturday one:
"All contracts are the same. Whoever drafts them will benefit from it. If I say I don't agree with the content, I guess I'll just have to get out."
It is seen that the materials touched by the case are not allowed to be leaked. If you leave the task force due to unexpected circumstances, you are not allowed to work in related industries for two years. In addition, the unit will pay you a confidentiality fee that is not lower than the local average.
In fact, many companies now have confidentiality agreements, but the final right of interpretation still belongs to the company. As long as the business scope of the business license is broad enough, it can almost lock a person into unemployment for a few years after leaving the company.
Saturday's bright smile:
“That’s reasonable.”
Liang Peihe had been through the day, but whenever he was at work, he always gave people a sense of uprightness and majesty. He sat upright in his chair:
"Of course, the organization never mistreats those who have made contributions."
Then Liang Peihe took out a file and showed it to Zhou Liu:
"These materials can only be viewed in this office and cannot be taken out."
Zhou Liuyi took the file bag, untied the coils of thread, and looked at the contents. Liang Peihe put his hands on the table and asked Zhou Liuyi a question:
"Can you open that safe?"
Saturday glanced up and licked his lips:
"This is an ancient three-disc combination safe. You need to rotate the code disc three times to unlock it. The structure inside is three discs with gaps..."
Liang Peihe held his forehead with his hand. Is there any problem in this world that Zhou Liuyi can't solve? He interrupted Zhou Liuyi :
"How long does it take you to untie this thing?"
Saturday, he tapped his hand on the table unconsciously, probably doing mental arithmetic:
"The number of permutations of the double turntables is one hundred times one hundred, which is ten thousand times. Ten thousand times would take about two or three days, but this safe is very old. The gaps have traces of personal use, and you can feel a subtle difference when you open it. So it certainly won't take that many times. If it were me, it would take at most two hours, that's about it."
Liang Peihe raised his hand, revealing that his right hand had obvious scars from gunshot wounds. When he took the cup to drink water, it was his thumb that was clearly exerting force.
Saturday changed his words again:
"An hour, at most."
Liang Peihe really felt like he had found a treasure and couldn't help but laugh:
"I've only seen people who can open safes in movies and on gangsters, but never on policemen."
Zhou Liuyi was looking at the case file with a serious expression:
"I grew up in an electronics city. Have you ever seen someone get rich overnight? I have seen people who used to sell rice cookers suddenly start selling smartphones and computers, with a daily turnover of hundreds of thousands. Of course, you can't keep so much money in your own hands. The public security was so bad at that time, so everyone started buying safes, putting the daily turnover in them, and then depositing it in the bank the next day.
But after buying the safe, I still felt uneasy. Everyone who sells computers knows a little bit about math, so opening a suitcase with a three-digit amount is as easy as playing with a safe. "
Having said that, Zhou Liu looked up with a smile as bright as the stars on his face.
This is the part he is best at, so he is very excited and spirited when talking about it.
"I tell you, for this kind of safe, all the guys in our electronics mall combined can't open it as fast as I can.
This is a skill I have been practicing since I was twelve years old. I don’t need to wear a stethoscope, I can do it with my bare hands.”
As he spoke, Zhou Liuyi stretched out his hand to show Liang Peihe the calluses on it.
"This is not something that is honed by playing games, this is something that is honed by using computers and writing programs."
…
Zhou Liuyi has no father. Although there are many male elders in his life, for such a precocious and extremely intelligent child, no one can replace the role of his father's guidance and teaching.
After reading one case file, Liang Peihe handed him another one.
As the night deepened, Zhou Liuyi's expression became increasingly serious. One of the case files caught his attention, and it was also the content that Liang Peihe had marked as important.
Saturday stood up straight:
"This is ridiculous! A temporary worker at the real estate registration office can empty the buyer's escrow fund pool? What a joke! Where is the supervision?"
As a result of occupational crimes committed after 1995, three leaders in one center were imprisoned and four were fired, while the 60 million yuan in the fund pool had been squandered.
Just terrifying?
How many years would an ordinary person have to work to save up this much money?
It’s impossible in this life!
Liang Peihe looked at Zhou Liuyi calmly:
"Read on. This is only part of the story. There was no gang involved in this case. It was an individual's violation of laws and disciplines . The Commission for Discipline Inspection, local police, and several other parties have been investigating for more than half a year and interviewed more than a hundred people. We can confirm that the case has now been closed."
Zhou Liuyi lowered his head, but raised his eyes and said sarcastically:
"Then why is it kept top secret? Do you think that if you make it public, the people will criticize you? Today, the rich are feasting and drinking, while the rich are freezing to death on the streets. In the future, the nobles will be trampled to death on the streets."
Liang Peihe calmly faced Zhou Liuyi's questioning and sharp gaze:
"I admit that our country has taken some detours in its rapid transition from a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society to an industrialized society and now to an information society."
Liang Peihe's attitude of admitting his mistakes was really great. Zhou Liuyi had nothing to scold him for, so he could only continue reading the case files.
This case is just a small introduction, and what follows is the main part.
With Sanjiang City as the center, too many pension projects in many places have collapsed, and the amount involved has reached hundreds of billions.
There are quite a few unfinished building projects, and they are popping up everywhere in every city. The funds involved are astronomical.
"In the past, everyone's eyes were always on the country's public officials. In fact, the corruption and embezzlement in these enterprises is even more shocking. A small cashier can issue VAT invoices worth hundreds of millions."
When he said this, Liang Peihe's face showed signs of old age.
Society is like a rolling wave, constantly rushing forward, and this generation of police officers born in the 1970s is like a torch, and it is unknown how long the remaining oil can burn.
Liang Peihe laughed at himself:
"When checking the property of that guy, I was at the scene. There were asset appraisers, actuaries, and several other people there taking photos and appraising. One of the game cards was worth 880,000 yuan. I used to think that antiques were valuable, but I didn't expect that virtual property, just a souvenir from the game world, would be so valuable.
With the prosperity of the social market economy, crimes are becoming more and more personalized, and there are more and more things we have never seen before."
This is also the difficulty and pain point in handling cases.
Zhou Liuyi has been reading the case files, and from time to time he would ask Liang Peihe some questions, such as the person in charge of the company, the direction of investment, and the process of development...
Many parts are similar in the official archives, because in the first thirty years, many businessmen relied on the courage and hard work of their entire family to squeeze out others.
It can be said to be a dark history, not glorious.
But Liang Peihe had obviously done his homework, so he knew all of this by heart:
"It's a pity for this real estate company. Their boss died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. No one, whether family members or partners, had the guts to keep going, so they quickly liquidated and auctioned off their assets to pay off their debts. Less than half a year after his death, the policy loosened up, and they were able to get a loan according to the conditions of their company."
"This is a state-owned enterprise. It's quite interesting. Three of their leaders have been incarcerated, and this one has just been brought up and has been detained."
Detention refers to double-regulation, a method of detaining high-level investigative cadres. It is actually a very serious offense, but Liang Peihe has seen it too many times, so he tends to speak of it lightly.
The sky gradually brightened, and Zhou Liuyi finished reading all the case files at hand.
He leaned back in his chair. Because of her young age and long-term heavy physical and mental work, she still looked energetic and not at all tired.
The reason why he believed that this case was related to his father's case was that one of the people being dealt with had hired Liu Gui as a driver for a period of time.
How could these two completely unrelated people get involved?
Other people wouldn’t think too much about it, but veteran policemen like Liang Peihe are best at making bold assumptions and carefully verifying them. What if there is a connection?
"How was makeup investigation done in the past?"
On Saturday, he didn't even drink a sip of water. He was like a precision computing machine, and his brain was a precise CPU.
"One is to pretend to be a buyer, and the other is to pretend to be a subordinate. Both are done in a short time, so there is not much room for maneuver."
Liang Peihe summed it up in one sentence.
Saturday, one forehead support;
"You've already said it, what else do you want me to say?"
Liang Pui Wo said:
"This case has been suppressed for a long time, so there is no rush now."
But he was already in an unprecedented state of anxiety, because the scope of the situation was so wide and there were so many victims. He was really worried that if the situation could no longer be contained and the powder keg exploded, so many people would unite and it would no longer be just a few dozen owners making trouble at the sales office or a few hundred owners writing a joint petition. Instead, several industries would be completely wiped out, leaving not a penny, and countless people’s livelihoods would be put to an end…
This is the scariest thing.
As defenders of the state power organs in this era who carry police badges and shoulder straps, they have the duty and obligation to go against the current and solve this problem.
No matter how difficult it is, no matter how many people I offend.
Saturday shook his head:
"Look, those above are either big bosses or have overseas investment backgrounds, and there are also many outsiders. Their relationships are complicated. If I were a secretary, how long would it take me to become the boss's top person?
We have to find a new way and can't use the old ideas anymore.
In the past, you emphasized hard work and being friends with time, but times have changed. What matters now is monetizing traffic.
You want me to spend a few months to become a gold medal cashier and a gold medal salesperson, isn't that too slow?"
Liang Peihe frowned:
“Are young people nowadays so impatient?”
Saturday shakes his head:
"If you want to find someone like that, Sheng Changfeng is a good candidate. This shows that you don't want to."
