I just joined the inspection department, and the whole country is in a panic.

When Zeng Haifeng saw that he had won an 800 million yuan prize, he was extremely excited.

Just before he was to receive the award, a stranger approached him and asked if he was willing to make a deal.

Then the other party offered him 900 million in exchange for his lottery ticket.

He knew he would have to pay taxes after winning the lottery, and when he saw that the other party had given him an extra million, he was still tempted, so he went through with the deal.

"Is this the person you traded with?" Yang Wen asked, taking out a photo of Gu Jiaming's son, Gu Xiaohu.

Because the winner of the lottery in the Gu family was Gu Xiaohu, Yang Wen showed this photo to the other party!

“It’s not this person.” Zeng Haifeng shook his head.

"Not him?" Yang Wen nodded slightly upon hearing this.

It seems that Gu Jiaming and his son are quite cautious!

Use someone else to contact and transact with Zeng Haifeng.

"Yes!" Zeng Haifeng nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Yang Wen quickly reported the situation to Wang Zeqing.

"Director Wang, that's all the leads we have for now regarding Gu Jiaming!" Yang Wen reported truthfully.

After listening, Wang Zeqing frowned deeply.

"Although we know that Gu Jiaming is definitely problematic, Zeng Haifeng selling lottery tickets to Gu Jiaming happened several years ago, and there's no evidence left. Furthermore, someone else was in contact with Zeng Haifeng, so there's no actual accuser at the moment!"

"Another one is that a few years ago, Gu Jiaming approached Yuan Li, but it was just a verbal deal. Later, when he called Yuan Li to reveal information, he didn't leave any evidence. So, we really don't have any substantial evidence right now!" Wang Zeqing frowned deeply.

Everyone now knows that Gu Jiaming used lottery tickets to launder his money, but because it happened several years ago and was a cash transaction, the difficulty of collecting evidence has increased dramatically!

"Director Wang, according to Zeng Haifeng's testimony, someone approached him for a transaction, and they were carrying 900 million yuan in cash. Now that it's not Gu Jiaming's son, I think it must be someone Gu Jiaming trusts!"

"After all, if someone is willing to give 900 million yuan in cash to another person to trade with Zeng Haifeng, I think it's highly likely that they are a relative of Gu Jiaming!" Yang Wen analyzed.

"Your analysis makes sense!" Wang Zeqing said in a deep voice.

First of all, this 900 million is embezzled money. If you give it to someone you don't trust and let outsiders operate it, what will you do if they take the money and run away?

Even if you don't abscond with the money and hand it over to a trustworthy boss, wouldn't that boss then have leverage over your money laundering?

What if they turn around and threaten you then?

Therefore, Yang Wen's analysis suggests that there is a high probability that it is a relative of Gu Jiaming!

"If we can find out who did business with Zeng Haifeng, our investigation might make a big breakthrough."

“I’m leaving this to you. I’ll hire an artist to paint a picture for you and see how much of an impression Zeng Haifeng can still remember,” Wang Zeqing said after thinking for a moment.

"Uh, Director Wang, I asked Zeng Haifeng about this. Several years have passed, and he has almost no recollection of it. He can't remember any of the features," Yang Wen said, shaking his head slightly.

After all, Zeng Haifeng had only met the other party twice.

Several more years have passed.

“However, I will try my best to investigate,” Yang Wen added.

"it is good."

"By the way, Director Wang, how's the investigation on Yang Fengzhi and Situ Lin going?" Yang Wen asked curiously.

He is currently mainly responsible for investigating Gu Jiaming, while the other two are being investigated by a different group of colleagues.

“Similar to Gu Jiaming’s situation, they all used cash to buy winning lottery tickets and didn’t leave any obvious evidence,” Wang Zeqing said in a deep voice.

If Gu Jiaming tries to argue his way out of it, it will give them a real headache.

Therefore, if they want to bring down Gu Jiaming, Yang Fengzhi, and Situ Lin, they still need to find fatal evidence against them.

This is why Wang Zeqing is currently experiencing this problem.

"Yang Wen, you continue to lead your team to investigate further. You're a skilled investigator, and I hope you can find some useful clues in a short time," Wang Zeqing said, patting Yang Wen on the shoulder.

"I'll do my best," Yang Wen smiled.

After being released, Yang Wen began to think about how to solve the case.

From his past life, he knew that Gu Jiaming had indeed sent a relative to Zeng Haifeng with cash to make the transaction.

However, neither the reports from my previous life nor the gossipy colleagues mentioned which relative it was!

The report only mentioned it briefly.

Immediate relatives, collateral relatives, distant relatives, relatives of relatives...

There are more than a few hundred people!

"However, the truth will eventually come out. If we analyze it carefully, we should be able to find the pattern," Yang Wen thought to himself.

He guessed that Gu Jiaming had asked this relative to do something because he already knew his secret, and he had to give him some money as a favor or hush money.

She was even Gu Jiaming's trusted relative and confidant!

"In that case, let's start by targeting Gu Jiaming's relatives who are currently doing relatively well." Yang Wen stroked his chin.

……

at home.

Gu Jiaming and his son Gu Xiaohu were drinking Moutai Fifty Years and Da Hong Pao at the same time.

"Dad, Uncle's money laundering method is still too slow," Gu Xiaohu said, somewhat annoyed.

His cousin, who was the son of his grandfather's cousin, was named Guo Shaoqiu.

Currently, he operates a liquor store and a restaurant. In reality, both the liquor store and the restaurant are used to launder money for Gu Jiaming! This is because most customers pay in cash when buying liquor or dining out.

For example, my actual monthly sales of liquor were only 30,000 to 50,000 yuan, but I recorded sales of several hundred thousand yuan. Today, the restaurant only had seven or eight tables of customers, with a total revenue of only a few thousand yuan, but I received 30,000 to 50,000 yuan in cash. In fact, this cash was Gu Jiaming's ill-gotten gains, but now it is today's revenue. When the time comes, taxes will be paid, so money laundering is very easy. It is easy to launder the cash in the hands of the father and son!

Moreover, Gu Xiaohu also invested in both stores.

The liquor sold in this direct-sale liquor store is naturally not a big-name brand, but rather some miscellaneous sauce-flavored liquor from Maotai Town.

This liquor store can launder millions of dollars in cash every year.

Any more than that would arouse suspicion.

After all, making a net profit of several million a year is already quite impressive.

If it's a store selling big-name liquor, money laundering is more difficult, since those liquors have clearly marked prices and a bottom line.

It's different with generic liquor brands; they're much easier to handle.

The purchase price is around ten yuan, and the selling price is several hundred yuan.

My cousin's restaurant launders two to three million yuan a year; any more would arouse suspicion.

In other words, the total amount of money laundered by the two stores together in a year would be several million.
