445. Chapter 441 New Chapter 0415 Li Yunmei's Vigilance
Li Mengnan had heard before that in order to improve the efficiency of investigation, the police sometimes used some shady and illegal methods, but these were all unspoken rules that were only circulated privately internally and would not be known to outsiders.
Li Yunmei's incident was very ordinary from beginning to end, there was nothing shameful about it, and she naturally had nothing to say to others.
"Oh, I thought it was some kind of trouble, but it turns out it's just a trivial matter..." After listening to Li Mengnan's story, Officer Park immediately slapped his chest and said, "Commissioner Li, don't worry, all the loan shark companies in Seoul are with us.
There are records here, and I can find out with just one phone call."
"Oh? Then I'll trouble you about this matter, Officer Park." Li Mengnan nodded to express his thanks.
"No problem. Commissioner Li, just wait a moment. I'll make a call and I'll be back."
While Officer Park went to the side to make a phone call, Li Mengnan, who had nothing to do, studied the furnishings of the office.
The office conditions of the Seoul Police Station look quite good, and there is even a special coffee machine in the office.
Li Mengnan helped himself to a cup of coffee and tasted it, and found that the taste was not as good as the instant coffee that cost one yuan a pack in the supermarket.
After pinching his nose and finishing the cup of coffee with a strange sour and bitter taste, Officer Park also finished the phone call, pulled off the photocopy of the contract attachment sent by the other party from the fax machine, and quickly ran over and placed it on the table in front of Li Mengnan.
"Commissioner Li, I have already asked for you. After the collision, Li Yunmei's father did use the only property in his family as a guarantee to borrow a sum of money from a private credit company. The total amount was about 80 million won.
.”
Li Mengnan picked up the contract and scanned it from top to bottom. He subconsciously frowned and said, "Huh? The interest rate seems wrong, right?"
According to the interest rate in the contract, the maximum repayment of the six-month loan with interest is 100 million won, which is half the difference from the 150 million that Li Yunmei said.
Seeing that Li Mengnan didn't understand the rules, Officer Park took the initiative to explain to him: "Commissioner Li, you don't know. This kind of loan sharking is theoretically illegal. In order to avoid trouble, they usually prepare two contracts when lending money.
The one that meets the official standard interest rate is for our police inspection, while the other high-interest contract is the real contract."
Li Mengnan nodded. Although this was the first time he heard about the rules of this kind of underground bank, after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed reasonable.
If this is the case, the amount of principal and interest mentioned by Li Yunmei should be true and credible.
When Officer Park saw Li Mengnan being silent about the contract, he thought it was because of the huge loan above that he was embarrassed, and said kindly: "Commissioner Li, if you want to get involved in this matter, I can call the person in charge of this company."
Call and ask them to waive all interest and treat it as an interest-free loan."
Of course, Officer Park doesn't have that much face. If he wants to make these loan sharks spit out the meat in their mouths, he can only use force to overpower them.
Anyway, in theory, what these people are doing is illegal, and no one's butt is clean. As long as you want to investigate, you can easily collect a bunch of evidence without setting up a trap.
Of course, it would be a joke to say that these underground banks have been able to operate safely until now without the protection of senior police officials.
If Officer Park really interfered like this, he would inevitably offend some people. When they met by chance, Li Mengnan didn't want to owe him such a big favor.
"Let me take a look first. If I really need Officer Park to mediate, I will contact you again."
Officer Park understood the reason for Li Mengnan's refusal and did not force him. After shaking hands with him and saying goodbye, he personally sent Li Mengnan out of the police station.
"Commissioner Li, if you need anything, please call me. You're welcome."
"Alright, definitely."
After leaving the police station, Li Mengnan directly dialed Li Yunmei's mobile phone.
Now that all the circumstances have been verified, he decided to complete Le Youyou's commission as soon as possible and deliver the money to the other party.
As for other matters, he doesn't want to interfere too much yet.
There are so many poor people in this world. If every stranger had to take care of them, even if he had the magical power of Sun Wukong to pluck out his hair and transform into another person, he probably wouldn't be able to do it at all.
The call was quickly connected. It was probably an unfamiliar number, and the other party's voice was obviously hesitant.
"Hello? Who are you looking for?"
"Are you APPLE? I am..." Li Mengnan was about to say that he was Le Youyou's friend, but suddenly he remembered that Le Youyou used his photo to pretend to be a boy on the Internet, and quickly swallowed the second half of the words, and changed his words: "I
It’s YOU.”
YOU is Le Youyou's nickname on the video website. It is probably because the commonly used YOYO in the past was too feminine, so he randomly registered such an online name.
"Ah? Are you YOU?"
Li Yunmei on the other side of the phone seemed a little flustered. Li Mengnan's "fall from the sky" completely made her unprepared.
"You...this is South Korea's phone number, right?"
To facilitate communication, the South Korean police prepared a mobile phone with a local number for each of the Huami and Huami specialists. This was the one Li Mengnan used to call Li Yunmei.
China Mobile's international long-distance roaming charges were as expensive as burning money. He didn't want to find out after making a call that his house belonged to China Mobile.
"Well, I happened to come here for something, and I'm in Seoul now."
"oh."
Li Yunmei seemed to reply subconsciously, and fell into a long silence. Li Mengnan could already imagine how overwhelmed she must be on the other side of the phone.
This is completely understandable. Even if you are a close friend who chats with you on the Internet, once the protection of distance is lost, how much of the so-called "friendship" can be left is open to question.
Probably because she felt that it was not okay to remain silent like this, Li Yunmei carefully asked, "You...do you have anything to do with me?"
"I want to treat you to a meal."
One hundred and fifty million won is not a small amount. In order to be responsible for Le Youyou and the money he lent, Li Mengnan decided to meet that Li Yunmei.
"this……"
Hearing that Li Yunmei seemed to want to refuse, Li Mengnan promptly added: "Of course, you can decide the location."
A familiar environment will give people an inexplicable sense of security, even if this sense of security is very false.
Li Mengnan's words made Li Yunmei seem to relax a lot, and she hesitated for a moment and agreed: "Then... okay, I have classes in the afternoon, so you can come find me in Cheongnyangli-dong, Dongdaemun District in the evening."
Li Mengnan remembered reading in the household registration information on the police station computer that Li Yunmei's home seemed to live near Cheongnyangni-dong, Dongdaemun District. It seemed that the girl was quite vigilant.
