Animal Detective

Chapter 77 The Great Dao of Gold
Compared to other constantly updated dossiers, this dossier is relatively thin.

Liu Laibin is a native of Nanjiang.

He died at the age of 42. He had founded a company whose main business was spot gold trading, and the company was called Dadao Gold.

His so-called spot gold trading, from today's perspective, is actually a gray market activity.

His tactic was to use telemarketing to invite customers to open accounts on his platform, claiming that they could achieve T+0 gold futures trading, buying and selling at any time and making profits at any time.

But in reality, this so-called trading platform was built by them.

Or rather, it was set up by the previous owner.

The internal transaction data may be falsified. You invest money, and it may initially appreciate in value, but when you want to withdraw your profits, various restrictions will arise.

They won't consider it over until all the money in your account is gone.

In 13, these companies were in a regulatory vacuum, and many people were scammed.

Liu Laibin opened this company 10 years ago and operated it for three years. The case file states that business was good in the first year and he made a lot of money, but business began to decline in the second year.

This is normal.

Companies like this are usually in the business of making quick money; once they've made enough, they immediately switch to a new project.

Then on September 7th, 2013.

His company starts work at 8:30 in the morning.

Sun Min, the company's cleaning staff, arrives at the company an hour early to clean.

During the routine cleaning of Liu Laibin's office, Liu Laibin's body was discovered.

There are photos from the scene.

It's a very common type of office, with a large solid wood desk and a bookshelf behind it, which is decorated with a large number of economics books.

Across from it is a reception area.

As expected, the calligraphy of "Heaven rewards diligence" hangs on the wall.

On the right-hand wall, there is also lucky bamboo and a wooden carving of a roc spreading its wings.

Liu Laibin's body was found in front of the safe to the left of his desk, with seven stab wounds. The forensic team speculated that it was a common switchblade.

The seven stab wounds are identical, and based on the angle and force of the stabs, they belong to the same person.

The most fatal blow was to the heart; it pierced through the heart.

The safe was opened at the scene, and the cash inside had disappeared.

Therefore, after initial investigation, the determined direction for solving the case was burglary and murder.

According to the financial records and Liu Laibin's wife, Shi Yanhua, the stolen cash amounted to 34 yuan.

Having confirmed the direction of the investigation, the next step was to proceed with the investigation step by step.

The office and company entrance were equipped with surveillance cameras, but they were vandalized.

It is speculated that the robbers used the power outage method.

The fact that the surveillance cameras at Jinhui Building did not detect anything indicates that the robbers had scouted the location beforehand and managed to avoid the surveillance cameras.

That was in 13, and there weren't many surveillance cameras installed then.

The forensic autopsy suggests that Liu Laibin died between 7 and 8 p.m.

At this time, his company's employees had already left work.

However, Jin Hui Building has a large number of companies and a diverse flow of people, with many companies working overtime.

The suspect may have used this time period to evade surveillance.

Because Jin Hui Building is an old office building with multiple exits, security is practically non-existent.

Since the investigation was set as a home invasion robbery and murder, the police officer in charge of the case, Qin Chuanwang, began his investigation by focusing on Liu Laibin's business dealings and social relationships.

You should at least know that Liu Laibin has money in his safe before you make a move.

Through interviews with company employees, Qin Chuanwang also discovered a situation.

That is, after the company's business failed, Liu Laibin started a new business, helping people with bridge loans.

Before the incident, Liu Laibin took on a business deal where the other party needed to handle a two million yuan bridge loan.

It was negotiated by the company's salesman, Li Weiqin.

Liu Laibin met with the other party several times and even visited their company for inspection.

All company employees can attest to this. After the business deal was finalized, the payment was scheduled for September 7th.

The money was deposited into a private account belonging to a man named Sun Kai, and then transferred overseas via online banking. After that, it became impossible to trace the money further.

In other words, on the day Liu Laibin was murdered, he not only lost 34 yuan in cash, but also 200 million yuan in bridge loans.

The investigation revealed that Sun Kai's identity information was entirely false.

When Liu Laibin and Li Weiqin went to see the company in person, they found that it was all a fake.

Therefore, Qin Chuanwang reasonably deduced that it was this Sun Kai who, under the guise of bridge loan business, embezzled 200 million yuan in cash, robbed Liu Laibin, stole another 34 yuan in cash, and then committed murder.

All the clues pointed to a man named Sun Kai.

The information he provided was undoubtedly false.

Qin Chuanwang made numerous inquiries, using various channels such as checking past records, surveillance footage, and bank accounts to investigate Sun Kai's true identity.

But that was 13, and many information channels were not yet open, so it was not an easy task to investigate.

Therefore, Sun Kai was not identified until the case was sealed.

The final conclusion was that the fraud gang led by Sun Kai had targeted Liu Laibin, and under the pretext of discussing bridge loan business, they managed to defraud him of 200 million yuan in bridge loans, and then robbed Liu Laibin, stealing 34 yuan in cash before fleeing.

The case was thus shelved.

In other words, they identified the suspect, but they just couldn't find the person.

It is speculated that they are a mobile criminal gang, and because of the overseas accounts, it is also speculated that they have some overseas background.

Liu Laibin's wife, Shi Yanhua, does not accept this result.

She kept coming to cause trouble, and her demands were very direct: catch the murderer and recover the more than two million yuan.

Shen Xin put down the file.

The reason this case remains unsolved is similar to that of other unsolved cases.

They would disguise themselves, commit crimes on the move, and then flee once they were done.

It's similar to those cases where someone inexplicably gets involved, kills someone, and then flees; it's very difficult to investigate.

Ding Yuwei singled it out because Shi Yanhua had been urging her to answer it for years.

The branch office reopened the investigation several times, but all attempts came to nothing.

As time goes on, the chances of solving the case will only decrease sharply.

The company is gone, the employees have long since left, the police officer Qin Chuanwang who handled the case has retired, and all the relevant personnel who knew about the case are gone. How can we investigate?
But as Ding Yuwei said, the victim's family has not given up and is very emotional, which is consistent with her statement that the family has strong opinions.

The remaining case is almost over.

The case dates back 11 years. Truck driver Xiao Hong was found dead on National Highway 319, which connects Nanjiang and Jigang, while he was out delivering goods.

It is speculated to be a robbery and murder.

However, the crime scene was on a national highway, and there were no surveillance cameras around. After a long investigation, no useful clues were found, and the case was listed as a cold case.

Like Shi Yanhua, Xiao Hong's wife would also come from her hometown every now and then to inquire about the progress of the case.

Six years have passed, and there has been no result.

"I think it's okay."

Shen Xin snapped out of his daze, nodded, and approved of Ding Yuwei's classification method.

What she was thinking was probably exactly what Lü Youwei was considering.

The family members have strong opinions, the issue remains unresolved, and the impact is severe.

"Okay, I'll do it that way then." Ding Yuwei nodded and continued working.

With the help of Ding Yuwei, a workaholic, the progress was many times faster.

Ten days later, all the case files were completed.

They categorized the information and reported it to Sun Zhao.

"You've already seen it all? So fast?"

Upon hearing that the case files had been compiled, Sun Zhao was taken aback.

In his memory, the branch office had quite a few unsolved cases, probably close to two hundred.
