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

"Tell me!" Tan Yongcheng was also having a terrible headache at this moment.

First, nothing can be found about Zhou Zhiwei.

There is a lack of valid evidence!

Secondly, Luo Junliang's side also kept their mouths shut very tightly, refusing to testify against Zhou Zhiwei no matter what!

"We seem to be at a loss with Zhou Zhiwei right now, but I think we can't let any breakthrough slip by!" "Didn't Jin Shengwen confess to us before that after Zhou Zhiwei helped him cover up this matter, Jin Shengwen secretly gave Zhou Zhiwei a jade ruyi worth 1500 million yuan?" "This time we didn't find anything in his house, so I think he most likely has a place specifically for storing the stolen money!"

“We don’t know where this place is right now, but we can use a rather clumsy method!” “It was Jin Shengwen who personally brought this Ruyi Jade to Zhou Zhiwei. It was evening, and the transaction took place in a park. The two pretended to bump into each other while taking a walk, and then Jin Shengwen handed the item over to the other party.”

"Assuming Zhou Zhiwei really does have a place to hide his money, he might go there from time to time. Let me speculate further: after Zhou Zhiwei accepted Jin Shengwen's jade pendant that night, he might have immediately taken it to a safe place. What's the safest place? It's definitely where he hides his money."

"Since Jin Shengwen delivered the money six months ago, it's impossible to retrieve the surveillance footage. We don't know where he went that night or where he hid the money. However, we can investigate the surveillance footage of the buildings or residences near this park to see if he has appeared recently. If he has, that might be where he hid the money!"

Generally speaking, street surveillance footage is stored for about 1 to 3 months.

Now that half a year has passed, it's definitely impossible to find it.

"Because I think the transaction location he chose should not be too far from where he hid the money," Yang Wen analyzed.

"It is precisely because it is a clumsy method and lacks any basis, relying solely on my personal opinion of the principle of proximity, that this suggestion is immature."

In fact, according to the information from my previous life, the report said that in a certain upscale residential area, Zhou Zhiwei's embezzled funds and the Ruyi jade given to him by Jin Shengwen were found!

High-end residential area.

Yang Wen had investigated the matter these past two days and found out that Jin Shengwen and Zhou Zhiwei were trading Ruyi jade in the park.

There happens to be an upscale residential community near this park.

Prices are approaching those in the city center!

Uniform large single-level apartments.

It has two school districts and an artificial lake.

It's definitely a high-end residential area.

Yang Wen is taking a gamble!

If this upscale residential area isn't the case, then it proves he guessed wrong.

Then he was at a loss!

After all, he's not a god.

“What you’re saying is indeed a clumsy method!” Tan Yongcheng nodded slightly.

"They say there are always more solutions than problems, but we really don't seem to have any clue what to do right now."

“But what you said makes some sense. Let’s take a gamble with this stupid method. What if, as you said, Zhou Zhiwei’s hiding place might be in the residential area near the park?”

"And another thing you're right about is his hiding place. He must go there from time to time. After all, someone as greedy as him gets money from people every few days. Doesn't he have to hide the money every now and then?" Tan Yongcheng thought for a moment and then added.

“I agree. The main problem is that we don’t have any direction for a breakthrough right now. We’re completely clueless. But it’s better than doing nothing, right?” Peng Weizhong said, shrugging.

“That’s true.” Wang Zeqing nodded.

"Alright, Yang Wen, I'll leave this matter to you. You can bring eight people to help you. Also, I still need to see if there are any breakthroughs from other angles..."

……

“Yang Ke, there are dozens of residential complexes of varying sizes near this park. Each complex has at least five or eight buildings, and some have as many as a dozen or twenty. Each building has an elevator, and there are so many people coming and going every day… If we were to investigate like this… our small team would probably be exhausted…” a colleague next to him couldn’t help but complain.

"There's nothing we can do about it. If you have any good ideas to find out anything about Zhou Zhiwei, you can bring them up," Yang Wen said with a laugh.

"..."

Naturally, no one had any good solutions.

"Alright, let's start by investigating Shengtian Huafu. It's the most upscale residential area in the vicinity. I think someone like Zhou Zhiwei, who isn't short of money, would most likely buy here."

"let's start."

In a blink of an eye.

Three days passed just like that.

For the past three days and a half, the eight or nine of them have been working overtime every day to retrieve and comprehensively screen the surveillance footage of this community over the past three months.

"Hey...the person who entered the elevator looks like Zhou Zhiwei!" a colleague exclaimed, pointing to a chubby, middle-aged man in his fifties wearing a hat and glasses in the elevator in front of the computer screen.

Everyone crowded around.

"It really is!"

"This video is from two weeks ago!"

"We saw him around this time two weeks ago! We saw it from near his home; he did go out that night, but he quickly disappeared from the surveillance footage. We didn't expect him to reappear in this upscale neighborhood just half an hour later!"

Generally speaking, street surveillance cameras cannot be completely continuous, so it is normal that sometimes the footage cannot be found.

It's not a continuous flow after all!

"This building has two apartments per floor. After he gets off the elevator, he should turn right. That should be apartment 801! Because apartment 802 is on his left!"

“That’s not right. Looking at the surveillance footage from before the elevator, there seems to be a beautiful woman living in room 801. I’ve seen her leaving the building every day,” another colleague who was responsible for monitoring and screening the building’s surveillance footage said.

"Oh?"

"Keep investigating, I need information about this woman!"

"Keep watching the surveillance footage and see if Zhou Zhiwei has appeared here at any other time besides this one!"

"Yes!"

An hour later.

"We found him again! More than half a month ago, he appeared in this community again, and we even saw him and the female homeowner of this house enter the elevator together and go into the house together!"

“I also made a major discovery. This woman is 29 years old, unemployed, and has not paid any taxes, but the house is registered in her name. She doesn’t have much money in her bank account, only a little over 300,000 yuan.”

"Great, great, great!" Yang Wen's eyes lit up when he heard this.

I guess I made the right bet after all.

Of course, it was also mainly because the news report from my previous life mentioned the phrase "high-end residential area".
