But if you look closely, you will find that there has never been any emotion in his dark and cold vertical pupils.

After standing still, the Feidian man bowed slightly and presented his gold-embossed business card with both hands.

"Hello, I'm Liu Yuanshe, the manager of Daxin Xinye. May I know your names, officers?"

Chapter 24 Who is the Prey?

"Officer Chen, Officer Xingxiong, please sit down."

Liu Yuanshe raised his hand and walked to the cabinet in the office.

"I've already sent someone to get Han Jin's loan information. Would you two like tea or coffee?"

"Thank you." Xingxiong politely declined, "No need for the drink."

Chen Huijie had been looking around Liu Yuanshe's office.

Crystal chandeliers, high-end wine cabinets, purple clay tea sets, mahogany furniture, leather boss chairs...

Liu Yuanshe did not hide his daily extravagance and enjoyment, like a greedy snake entwined in a pile of money.

"You two are so busy with official duties that you don't even have time to drink a sip of water." Liu Yuanshe smiled and said with emotion, "However, it is precisely because of dedicated police officers like you that Longmen's public security and business environment can be maintained so well."

"You're too kind," Xingxiong replied with a smile, "This is the duty of our Guards."

"No, no, no, my gratitude is sincere." Liu Yuanshe waved his hand, his tail snaking behind him. "At the last Longmen Chamber of Commerce dinner, many companies donated to the Royal Guards, and we were one of them."

Xingxiong had been in the underworld for many years, so he naturally understood the meaning of Liu Yuanshe's words.

Fortunately, Lao Chen and I didn’t plan to do anything this time.

"The mafia donates money to the Royal Guards? This is the funniest joke I've heard this year!"

Chen Huijie stared at Liu Yuanshe, his sharp eyes like a sword, as if to cut through his disguise of kindness.

"Gangster?" Liu Yuanshe looked worried, but his tone remained gentle. "Officer Chen, is there some misunderstanding here? We have always operated legally, and the loan interest rates meet Longmen's legal requirements. We have never committed any illegal or criminal acts."

Xingxiong looked at Chen Huijie who was confronting Liu Yuanshe head-on, and sighed helplessly in his heart.

Alas, Lao Chen’s hatred of evil is both good and bad.

"Then how do you explain why Han Jin received a debt collection call from Zhongyitang after borrowing money from you?"

Chen Huijie went straight to the heart of the matter.

But what she didn't expect was that Liu Yuanshe admitted it so openly.

"Yes, we have a partnership with Zhongyitang. After all, it's easy to lend money, but it's hard to get it back."

There was a knock on the door at the right moment, and Pero's male assistant came in, delivered the documents, and immediately left the office.

"Han Jin borrowed a short-term small loan from us, but he kept delaying payments, overdue three times and failing to fulfill his repayment obligations as per the contract. So we had no choice but to entrust the debt collection to a professional debt collection agency."

Liu Yuanshe handed the loan contract to Xingxiong and Chen Huijie, with it clearly written in black and white.

"Here's the recording of us calling him to remind him to repay on time. You can listen to it if you're interested."

Xingxiong didn't know much about contracts. After a quick glance, he gave all the information to Chen Huijie, asking this top student to check if there were any problems.

Chen Huijie didn't have much hope for this.

As long as Liu Yuanshe is not stupid, he will not tamper with the contract.

Even the contract for entrusting the debt collection company was included, cut cleanly.

Liu Yuanshe explained slowly, "Although the debt collection company is run by Zhongyitang, Longmen is a society ruled by law after all. All they can do is visit the debtors every day and help them pick up their children from school, which is harmless."

This is indeed a silent threat, but since there is no violence involved, it is difficult for the Guards to deal with it.

"How many people like Han Jin are borrowing short-term micro loans from you?" Chen Huijie asked.

"Nothing to report," Liu Yuanshe replied calmly. "It has nothing to do with the case."

After seeing how difficult Liu Yuanshe was to deal with, Chen Huijie didn't waste any more time.

Once she and Chen Xiu complete the search of Zhongyitang's secret hideout, they will definitely have enough evidence.

It would be fine if Daxin Xinye was not deeply involved with Zhongyitang, otherwise she would definitely make Liu Yuanshe pay for it!

"Thank you for your cooperation. I hope you will continue to be a law-abiding citizen of Longmen in the future."

Chen Huijie stood up and saluted, his tone of voice as hot as if he had eaten chili peppers.

Liu Yuanshe watched the two female police officers leave the office.

He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, asking himself if he had revealed any flaws that could be exploited by the other party.

The corner of Phidias's bespectacled man's mouth curled up slightly, and his contemptuous smile was mixed with a bit of disdain for Chen Huijie.

A rookie policeman actually dared to challenge him? He really didn't know his place.

To be on the safe side, I'd better ask my friends in the Guard Bureau to help keep an eye on her movements.

If she really finds out something, it will be easier to deal with it in time.

…………

night.

Lungmen slums, underground living level.

"Are you saying that Han Jin was rigged to borrow money?"

Chen Xiu pushed open the door of the underground distribution room and saw the dark, damp and cold sewer tunnel behind the door, and turned on the flashlight.

The sudden white light startled the timid mouse. The little mice scurried around on the ground with squeaking sounds and quickly found a place to hide.

Chen Huijie followed Chen Xiu and looked down at the map.

"Go forward to the end of the tunnel and turn right. There is an abandoned underground parking lot, then exit from Exit 6."

He frowned slightly. The smell in the sewer was really unpleasant. Due to years of disrepair, dirty water was still dripping down from the dome, sounding like rain.

Chen Xiu opened a large black umbrella and raised his eyebrows proudly.

"Now you know why I need to bring an umbrella? Also, wear a mask."

After putting the mask on her face, Chen Huijie pinched the bridge of her nose and leaned closer to Chen Xiu.

He tilted his head and glanced at the Sarkaz youth beside him, and asked in a cold voice: "If that's the case, then why did you only bring an umbrella?"

"Of course it's to save money!" Chen Xiuli replied confidently, "Or, Ajie, can you reimburse me for all the expenses incurred during the investigation through the Nearby Security Bureau?"

The dragon's tail paused, and Chen Huijie thought about the special investigation team he had just established.

Although I don't have much funding for the case and it hasn't been approved yet, it will still be no problem to hire an informant when the time comes.

"As long as it's legitimate expenditure, it's fine. It would be best if I could have receipts, otherwise it would be difficult for me to write the report."

"If I get any useful information, can I sell it to you?" Chen Xiu asked.

"If the price is reasonable, then yes." Chen Huijie replied, "This is the compensation you deserve."

In just a few words, the two of them decided on the cooperation model for the future period during their casual chat.

Under a black umbrella, the two of them snuggled up and walked into the dirty and smelly sewer.

Chen Xiu felt a tightening around his waist, and the cold dragon's tail hooked around him.

"Don't get me wrong, your umbrella is too small. I'm afraid my tail will get dirty."

Xiaolongnu looked straight ahead, still so righteous and awe-inspiring.

But the next second, she felt a warm big hand placed familiarly on her waist.

The dragon's ruby-like eyes suddenly shrank and its tense body stiffened for a moment.

"Let's continue talking about Liu Yuanshe." Chen Xiu seemed oblivious to the embarrassment of the person next to him, and analyzed to himself: "This guy might be the real mastermind behind this."

Chen Huijie's attention was immediately diverted, and she asked, "How did you know?"

Chapter 25: The Iron Must Be Strong

"Guess."

Chen Xiu confessed that he was very single.

Chen Huijie frowned slightly, feeling like she was being fooled.

I thought this guy had discovered some flaw that I hadn't noticed, but this is the result?

Seeing that Miss Long's face was turning darker, Chen Xiu hurried to save her.

"Even if he's not the mastermind behind this, Liu Yuanshe is definitely a crucial link in the criminal chain. Do you know what the first thing that comes to mind when you mention Daxin Xinye?"

"What is it?"

"Money laundering."

Chen Huijie paused and stood there in a daze.

Chen Xiu continued his analysis: "As a financial company whose main business is investment and lending, and which also collaborates with a debt collection company with mafia backgrounds, if they're involved in black money laundering, it would be incredibly easy."

"The high turnover of live broadcast tips is likely used to inflate legitimate income, and then use Daxinxinye's formal lending process to conceal the true source of the black money."

"The existence of debt collection agencies ensures the recovery of money. The combination of the two creates the perfect conditions for money laundering through fictitious debts, false transactions, or usurious loan cycles, in a covert and efficient manner."

Chen Huijie's eyes became brighter as she listened, and the tip of her mane tail, which was pressed against Chen Xiu's belly, swayed excitedly, making him itch and want to grab it in his hand.

"Yes! Money laundering! It's money laundering!!"

She originally thought that this was a new type of online fraud, but after listening to Chen Xiu's words, she suddenly understood.

In other words, the fraud may just be a superficial appearance, and the real purpose is actually to launder money!

After grasping this core, it becomes much easier to investigate and deal with Liu Yuanshe.

Bathed in Xiaolongnu's admiring gaze, Chen Xiu smiled proudly.

If I didn't have enough intelligence, it would not be easy to infer the general truth from a bunch of clues. In addition, I had seen similar things many times in my previous life, so I directly sounded the alarm.

"Ajie, sometimes you can't be so rigid in your actions," Chen Xiu suggested. "For example, if they don't tell you about the other borrowers, you can actually check with the court. I don't believe they can avoid a lawsuit just by following their rules. I'm sure you'll find a lot of useful details in the court records."

After spending some time together, he finally figured it out.

Chen Huijie is still a passionate young man who has just entered the society and workplace. Apart from his stubborn and vindictive character, he is still far behind the senior police superintendent who will dominate the Longmen in a few years in all aspects.

If she is allowed to explore and try things on her own, she will certainly grow up in the end.

But if I am willing to give her a hand, I can make her walk faster and more easily!

It makes no sense that Longmen's increasingly complex environment and rising crime rate should all fall on her shoulders alone.

"Chen Xiu, you're right!" Chen Huijie took a deep breath, his eyes sharp as a torch: "It is indeed important to use the right method to do things."

Before they knew it, they had walked out of the sewer and found Exit Number 6 in the intricate underground parking lot.

What was unexpected was that this place was blocked by a huge rock, and it seemed that it had collapsed before.

"What should we do?" Chen Xiu glanced at the person beside him and asked with his head tilted, "How about we try another route?"

Chen Huijie looked at the huge rock blocking the road and shook his head, "No need."

She calmly released the slender dragon tail that should have been retracted long ago, took two steps forward and took a stance.

next moment!

Several lightning-like red rays flashed by.

The clanging sound of swords being drawn followed, but it merged with the crashing sound of boulders breaking.
