Death sentence turned into acquittal? Who told him to be a detective!

Chapter 91 Where are the Benefits?
"Are you sure those fake police officers only arrested homeless people?"

Xu Liang frowned.

He recalled what Huang Yao had said: Wang Hai controlled 70% of the charitable resources in Hanhai City.
What kind of interests can arise between homeless people and charity?

Zhao Huo nodded, quite certain.

"At least the other 13 victims I found were all homeless!"

"The reason the case wasn't discovered was because of the police uniform the other party was wearing!"

As he spoke, Zhao Huo's expression turned ugly.

"These people are impersonating police officers to enforce the law!"

In order to promote civilization and progress, the authorities will send people to take away homeless people and scavengers from the streets.

After taking them away, they may be offered work according to their personal wishes, or placed in a nursing home.

The six people in the surveillance footage were precisely exploiting this behavioral logic.
They impersonated police officers and acted in the same manner, which aroused suspicion in the eyes of others, but they did not think much of it.

Only the victim's family would cause trouble.

But where would a homeless person get family members?
Without family members, who would report the case?
"The truth of the case only came to light after these six people mistakenly arrested Wang Cuiping, leading Lu Yao to report the crime!"

Zhao Huo's expression turned ashen; he never expected that there would be people impersonating police officers in Hanhai City.

Currently, the police have clarified the logic behind the suspect's arrests.

But what followed was a new problem that baffled everyone.

Why are they arresting homeless people?

Inside the office, Wang Chao, sitting on a stool, looked puzzled, his eyes filled with confusion.

What would they do with these people if they were arrested?

All thirteen people were homeless, which basically proves that the suspect targeted this group of homeless people.

But then another problem arose.
Why are you arresting homeless people?!

Human trafficking?
Most human traffickers target women and children; homeless people are of no value to them.

Sold to illegal kilns?
That's possible, and there are examples of it, but illegal kilns don't accept just anyone!
Wang Cuiping is over sixty years old, and there are even older victims than her; these people cannot possibly have any labor value!
What is the value of organs?
As a wealthy person, would you be willing to donate an organ from a man in his sixties?
nor.

So the question is, what value do these victims possess that would make the suspect kidnap them?
"do not know."

Zhao Huo shook his head. "The police are still investigating where the victims and others were taken."

He was just about to reveal his plan.

Unexpectedly, Xu Liang spoke again.

Have you checked the Hanhai Mingmei Welfare Home?

Orphanage?
Zhao Huo was taken aback; he really didn't know anything about welfare homes these past few days.

Before he could speak, Xu Liang said again:
"According to you, there were 14 victims in October alone."

"These 14 victims couldn't possibly have been transported out of Hanhai City; they are most likely hiding somewhere in Hanhai!"

How did you figure that out?
It's very simple; let's take human traffickers as an example.

A human trafficker team needs to scout locations, carry out operations, devise escape plans, evade investigations, and simultaneously rush to the buyer's location to conduct a transaction.

This requires an extremely long time span across latitudes!
The current case has been solved 14 times in just 30 days. There is no way they could have had time to sell the abducted people!

In fact, let alone selling them, there isn't even enough time to get people out of Hanhai City!
so.
The person must still be in Hanhai City!

It is unknown whether the 14 victims are alive or dead.

And where they were taken!
"According to Huang Yao, the Hanhai Mingmei Welfare Home is highly suspicious!"

Xu Liang suddenly spoke up. He walked to the only blackboard in the task force office and reached in to take out a piece of chalk.

Zhao Huo was taken aback, and then he saw Xu Liang write several large characters on the blackboard.

"According to the surveillance video from Ronghua Street on the evening of the 17th, it can be seen that the suspect skillfully injected Wang Cuiping with a standard anesthetic!"

"Standard anesthetics are strictly controlled, but veterinary drugs are very easy to obtain."

"So, Officer Wang and I went to the only dedicated veterinary drug manufacturing plant in Hanhai City!"

"Furthermore, based on the tools used by the suspect, it was suspected that he was connected to a 'dog-catching team,' and coincidentally, Jiangxin Veterinary Drug Factory had previously engaged in transactions with a dog-catching team."

Xu Liang slowly told Zhao Huo what he had gathered that afternoon.

Zhao Huo was initially puzzled.

But the more I listened...
His expression grew increasingly astonished!
When the two clues are connected, they form a perfect circle, pointing directly to the Mingmei Welfare Home!
But the problem is.
"You found it in just one afternoon?" Zhao Huo felt his head buzzing.

Based on what Xu Liang found out.
Even without information from the intelligence squadron, the next step for the other side would still be to investigate the Mingmei Welfare Home!

And the Mingmei Welfare Home can't escape responsibility if there's a problem!
All of this, from Lu Yao's visit to the police station reviewing the surveillance footage to now, took less than an afternoon.
It took them nearly two days to locate the victim and confirm that the victim was still in Hanhai City!

"An afternoon." Xu Liang frowned and sighed.

"It was indeed a bit delayed; we suffered from a lack of information."

Zhao Huo:
He suddenly fell silent, unsure of what to say.

After a long pause, he finally changed the subject and said:

"Let's look at the clues together."

"Did the suspect move all the victims to the Bright Welfare Home?"

"It's hard to say, but Mingmei Welfare Home is highly suspicious!"

Xu Liang nodded.

Zhang Mang secretly worked at the welfare home, and since Wang Hai was also in charge of charitable organizations, and the Mingmei Welfare Home belonged to Wang Hai as well.
If the welfare home is operating normally, then what's the story behind the other party secretly recruiting henchmen?
Zhao Huo remained silent for a moment.

He then waved his hand, instructing his subordinates to send the internal affairs staff to retrieve the welfare home's files.

Not long after.

The files concerning the Mingmei Welfare Home were then presented to everyone.

"Mingmei Welfare Home was the first charitable institution that Wang Hai invested in."

"We have had in-depth cooperation with the government and provided assistance to vulnerable groups free of charge."

"It has a good reputation in Hanhai City and has become the first choice for most people to go when they are old."

"It has more than 20 staff members and more than 100 people in need of assistance, including men and women, young and old."

Yang Ruoxi read it aloud as she read.

It was a very clean set of documents. If it weren't for the information Xu Liang found pointing to this place, probably no one would have paid attention to such a clean welfare home.

"What is the maximum capacity of this welfare home?"

Xu Liang suddenly asked.

Yang Ruoxi searched for a while and finally replied, "Three hundred people."

Three hundred people.
Xu Liang then looked at Zhao Huo, "How much subsidy does the government provide to the welfare home?"

Zhao Huo thought for a moment and said:
"Each person receives 200 yuan per month, and the Mingmei Welfare Home provides a monthly subsidy of 25,000 yuan."

The welfare home only accommodates a little over one hundred people, so according to the subsidy standards, it is indeed less than 30,000 yuan.

That is
"I didn't cheat on the subsidies."

Xu Liang's brows furrowed into a knot, and he couldn't relax them for a long time.

Some welfare institutions abduct homeless people and scavengers, and even sell or buy children from their own institutions.

Why would you do that?
The reason is that the government provides subsidies per person!

If all the missing victims were inside the Mingmei Welfare Home, and the other party was arresting them to collect subsidies and donations, then that would be quite reasonable.

But the problem is.
The number reported by the other party was one hundred people, and there was absolutely no "ghost employee"!
Think of this.

After a moment of contemplation, Xu Liang suddenly spoke:

What is the address of Mingmei Welfare Home?

"Ten kilometers east of Hanhai City, in Xinjiang District, near the sea."

The victims have neither any value to the company nor the ability to work.

The welfare home itself did not receive a salary without working.

Even so, they continued to arrest people and force them to leave.
Where have people gone?

And why are they arresting people?!

Only 'profit' can lead to gang-related crimes.

To put it bluntly, the victims are a bunch of people who have absolutely no 'value'!
How could you possibly squeeze any profit out of this?!

Or is it that their thinking is too conservative, and they haven't seen some of the value in the victims?

And, is the victim alive or dead now?!

A jumble of thoughts swirled in my mind.

finally.

Xu Liang suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sharpened, and he uttered a few words.

"Come with me to the orphanage!"

He wanted to see how these lunatics would squeeze every last drop of profit out of these people!
