Chapter 295 Does Jiang Bai only dare to bully the disadvantaged?
Changhe Street Police Station, interrogation room.
"You have no proof, why did you bring me back! Can you bear the responsibility for delaying my important event?"
Fan Haitian banged the table, feeling very excited.
Lao Lin said expressionlessly: "Since we have received real-name reports from the public, according to regulations, we must ask you to come back for investigation."
"President Fan, don't be nervous. You can answer whatever I ask. As long as you make it clear, you'll be fine."
Fan Haitian frowned and said, "Just ask."
"good."
Old Lin picked up the document and took a look at it, and said calmly: "President Fan, please explain where the more than 10 million in cash in the suitcase and handbag came from."
Fan Haitian's eyes flickered twice and said: "Well, that's not mine, it's my brother-in-law's! Those are his business funds, and they are just placed in my house temporarily. I want to return the money to him today."
"Are you talking about Meng Yu?" Lao Lin asked.
"..."
Fan Haitian's pupils shrank.
Unexpectedly, Lao Lin could blurt out Meng Yu's name. This was enough to show that the other party had already conducted an investigation on him and had learned a lot.
"Yes, it's him." Fan Haitian slowly lowered his head, his heart beating loudly.
But he still had a sense of luck at the moment.
I was even a little complacent and felt that I had foresight.
Fortunately, the payment was in cash, so there was room for quibbles. If the electronic transfer was accepted, there would be no chance at all.
Lao Lin smiled coldly and said: "Okay, then let me ask you again, how did you get the five houses and four cars related to you!"
"What about five houses and four cars? I only have one house and one car. The house was bought more than ten years ago, and the car is an old Mercedes-Benz that I have been driving for seven or eight years." Fan Haitian quickly retorted.
"President Fan, don't forget that this is the information age!"
"We have found out that you indeed only have one apartment and one car under your name, but your wife Meng Lan also has two apartments and one car under her name, and your mother has two apartments and two cars under her name!"
Lao Lin didn't waste any words and directly presented the evidence.
Meng Lan has two apartments under her name, both in Longcheng. They are both in prime locations and high-end communities. Each apartment is worth more than four million.
The car is a Mercedes-Benz SLC worth more than 500,000 yuan.
As for Fan Haitian's mother, she actually owns two properties in Donghai, worth more than five million.
The cars are Mercedes-Benz S400L and Mercedes-Benz GLS, both million-dollar luxury cars.
Then here comes the problem.
Where do they get the money to buy a house and a car?
Faced with Lao Lin's question, Fan Haitian swallowed hard and said bravely: "My wife's house and car were all funded by my father-in-law. As for my mother...that may be the old lady's whole life."
I don’t know the savings actually, so I didn’t ask any more questions.”
"President Fan, you really can't shed tears until you see the coffin."
Lao Lin's face darkened and he said, "We found out that your father-in-law is an ordinary retired employee and your mother-in-law has been unemployed. Where did they get so much money to buy Meng Lan a car and a house?"
"As for your parents, they are both farmers. The house they live in was financed by you. How can you afford more than 10 million to buy a house in Donghai?"
"Besides, what's the point of buying a car for an old lady who's already over 70 years old? Are she going to buy two of them and leave them gathering dust in the garage?"
"Fan Haitian! I'll give you one last chance to tell you honestly how you got these properties that are obviously not in line with your income level!"
Lao Lin's loud voice echoed in the interrogation room.
It has a majesty of its own.
Fan Haitian was immediately speechless by the question.
Because of these problems, he couldn't explain them at all!
The value of the house and car alone went straight to 20 million, plus the more than 10 million in cash...
Nearly 40 million!
With Fan Haitian's salary, even if he didn't eat, drink or spend money, it would take him seventy or eighty years to save so much.
How to explain this?
Fan Haitian's mind was racing, and he argued: "I dug out a box of gold bars in the backyard of my hometown, and then sold the gold bars for money... Isn't this illegal?"
Lao Lin laughed. How could he have the nerve to tell such a lame lie?
"You dug up gold bars? Then tell me, how many kilograms were dug out? When was it dug up? Who was it sold to? How much was it sold for? When was it sold?"
Faced with this series of questions, Fan Haitian was naturally speechless.
If he had received information in advance, he might have had the opportunity to make arrangements and make up a reason that seemed more reasonable and credible.
But the police suddenly attacked and took the person back directly. There was no chance to prepare in advance.
Fan Haitian hesitated for a long time and then said: "It has been many years, and my memory is a bit blurry."
"Do you know how much gold 40 million can buy?"
Lao Lin raised his right hand and made a gesture.
"Almost one hundred kilograms, which is two hundred pounds!"
"Two hundred pounds of gold, what is this concept? Fan Haitian, do you think you can get away with such nonsense?"
Fan Haitian's throat rolled, his face turned pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
But still didn't give up.
"I didn't say that all the money was in exchange for gold. The gold was only exchanged for a few million. Then I bought lottery tickets and won the first prize twice. By the way, I also traded in stocks and made money. Is there any problem?
Is it illegal to dig for gold, illegal to buy lottery tickets, or illegal to speculate in stocks? I made all the money based on my own skills, I, I have a clear conscience, why are you interrogating me!"
Seeing that Fan Haitian was still resisting, Lao Lin frowned and waved his finger at Xiao Chen beside him: "Give him a general education."
"Yes, Master."
Xiao Chen nodded, then looked at Fan Haitian and said: "Article 395, paragraph 1, of the Criminal Law stipulates that if the property or expenditure of a state employee obviously exceeds the legal income, and the difference is huge, he or she may be ordered to explain the source."
“I cannot explain whether the source is legal, and the difference is based on illegal gains!”
"This crime is called the crime of unexplained huge amounts of property!"
Lao Lin continued: "Did you hear that? We found that your property obviously exceeds your legal income, and the difference is huge. We have the right to order you to explain the source. If you cannot explain clearly, you may face a fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years but not more than ten years!"
Fan Haitian's expression suddenly changed drastically.
Everyone is feeling bad.
"President Fan, stop having unrealistic illusions. Do you really think you can get away with just telling lies?"
"I advise you to recognize your situation, take the initiative to explain the problem, and strive for leniency."
"By the way, if you can report and expose other people's criminal behavior, it will be a meritorious performance and will be of great help in reducing your sentence."
Lao Lin has rich experience and is well versed in the essentials of interrogation.
First present evidence and take the initiative.
Then use the consequences of crime as a deterrent.
Finally, I will point out the clear way to reduce the sentence.
Step by step, gradually disintegrate the suspect's psychological defense.
Although there are still many things unknown about this case, Lao Lin has already made a strong guess in his mind.
I am afraid that most of Fan Haitian's huge property was given by others.
This kind of behavior is legally called bribery and bribery.
This case is worth digging into!
Lao Lin wanted to use Fan Haitian as a breakthrough point to find out those people who bribed him.
Fan Haitian was confused for a moment.
Very confused.
Of course he doesn't want to go to jail.
The most painful thing in the world is to have a huge amount of wealth and, bam, go in.
But his reason told him that this matter could not be concealed, and he could only be punished severely if he resisted. It would be better to confess and plead guilty, and then report and expose some of the people who gave him money, and strive for leniency...
Lao Lin knew that Fan Haitian was struggling, so he didn't rush him and just watched quietly.
After the battle between heaven and man for a long time.
Fan Haitian's shoulders slumped, "Officer Lin, if I tell you who gave me the money, will it be considered meritorious service? Can my sentence be reduced?"
"Of course it counts as meritorious service! The judge will take these into consideration when sentencing."
Lao Lin's eyes lit up and he immediately became energetic.
After Fan Haitian's psychological defense was broken, he stopped struggling and began to explain some things.
…
On the other side, Fan Haitian's father-in-law's home.
"Sister, what did you say? My brother-in-law was arrested by the police?"
Meng Yu was stunned.
"Yes, the neighbor across the door called me and told me that he saw your brother-in-law being taken away by a few policemen, who claimed to be from the Changhe Street Police Station." Meng Lan was crying, sitting on the sofa and wiping her tears.
It feels like the sky has fallen.
Meng's father frowned and said, "Haitian came to the house this morning. Why was he suddenly arrested by the police? What happened?"
"I don't know either. Our Lao Fan has always abided by the law..." Meng Lan said.
At this time, Meng Yu said weakly: "I may know why my brother-in-law was arrested."
Meng Lan quickly asked: "What's going on? What do you know?"
Meng Yu blinked and said: "My brother-in-law came to me this morning and said that he was under investigation by the Banking Regulatory Bureau and asked me to return the money quickly. As a result... I think it was exposed that he had embezzled public funds."
Hearing this, Meng Lan's expression became extremely complicated.
When Meng Yu asked Fan Haitian for help, he asked him to first embezzle a sum of money from the bank to help with the emergency. The latter originally refused because it was risky.
But Meng Lan was not happy. She cried and made trouble at home. After struggling for a long time, Fan Haitian was finally forced to compromise.
Secretly took 30 million from the bank and "lent" it to Meng Yu.
Speaking of which, Fan Haitian was arrested by the police and had a great relationship with the Meng Lan and Meng Yu siblings.
"Did you harm your brother-in-law?"
After regaining consciousness, Meng Lan accused her younger brother: "Your brother-in-law has helped you a lot these years, but why haven't you made any progress at all? Are you willing to send him to the police station?"
Apart from admitting that she married the wrong person, Meng Lan would not admit any mistakes.
The first reaction is to throw the blame away.
Meng Yu was unhappy and shouted loudly: "How can you blame me? Who climbed on the window sill and jumped off the building to force my brother-in-law? If you hadn't forced him, how could he have embezzled public funds? At least you have some knowledge about this matter.
Half the responsibility!”
"You still talk back, right? You..."
"Okay, what time has it been? You are still in the mood to quarrel here!"
Father Meng was quite dignified, and as soon as he spoke with a straight face, he calmed down the siblings.
"Haitian has been investigated by the police. It's useless to say anything now."
"The top priority is to hire a lawyer for him!"
"Yes, yes, you have to hire a lawyer. Lawyers are the professionals in this matter." Meng Lan nodded repeatedly, but then got into trouble again, "But the question is who to hire? I don't know which lawyer is good.
"
Meng Yu said: "I know a lawyer who is very good!"
"who?"
"Zhang Wei!"
…
More than half an hour later.
Quan Jing Law Firm.
Brother and sister Meng Lan and Meng Yu came here because of the reputation and asked Zhang Wei to represent the case.
"Misappropriation of public funds...30 million?"
After hearing the two people's narratives, Zhang Wei's expression changed slightly.
The crime of embezzling public funds itself is not particularly bad, but when the amount is so large, it is another matter.
Judging from the provisions of the criminal law alone, it is "fixed-term imprisonment of more than ten years."
However, according to Zhang Wei's estimate, with such a large embezzlement amount, it may take fifteen to twenty years to reach the bottom.
"Lawyer Zhang, my old Fan usually abides by the law and has never made a mistake. This time it was just a mistake that made him go astray. You must save him!"
Meng Lan's voice was filled with tears and she looked at Zhang Wei expectantly.
On the way here, Meng Yu introduced her to some of Zhang Wei's glorious deeds.
Especially in the past six months, he has handled thousands of cases!
Among them, there are many major cases that shocked the entire Internet.
We have also successfully helped many clients reduce their sentences.
Zhang Wei's ability and reputation are absolutely unparalleled.
"Lawyer Zhang, don't worry. The attorney's fees are not a problem. Just follow your standards and I won't pay a penny less."
Meng Lan placed all her hopes on Zhang Wei and paid generously.
Zhang Wei's expression moved slightly.
This case is both a job crime and an economic crime. The charging standard is different from that of ordinary criminal cases. After all, it involves property relations, and charges must be accumulated based on segments.
If the bid amount is 30 million...
Zhang Wei did a rough mental calculation and found that the legal fees were around 500,000!
Please come to us with hundreds of millions more clients like this.
"Okay, I'll take this case."
Zhang Wei readily accepted the case.
I can't help it, they gave me too much.
Meng Lan was overjoyed.
"But I want to say something up front. Mr. Fan embezzled a huge amount of public funds and the situation is quite serious. I can't promise anything. I can only say that I will do my best to help him commute his sentence."
After listening to Zhang Wei's words, Meng Lan nodded quickly and said: "I understand this, then I'll leave it to Lawyer Zhang."
"Well, let's sign the contract first, and then I will go and meet my client in person."
Zhang Wei said with a smile.
Meng Lan is incompetent.
Soon, both parties signed a contract.
Zhang Wei did not delay and immediately set off for the Changhe Street Police Station.
He is no stranger to this place.
Several previous cases were filed and investigated by this police station.
After walking into the police station, Zhang Wei approached the staff and explained his background.
Soon he met his client, Fan Haitian.
"What? You are being investigated because the source of your huge wealth is unknown? Isn't it embezzlement of public funds?"
"Are there tens of millions in bribes?"
"hiss!"
Zhang Wei took a deep breath.
So scary!
It’s so terrifying!
Unexpectedly, it was not just a simple misappropriation of public funds, but also bribery, and the amount sounded scary.
This is the pace of life imprisonment.
"Lawyer Zhang, why are you looking at me like that?" Fan Haitian asked uneasily.
"Oh, it's nothing, I thought of something sad." Zhang Wei waved his hand.
Fan Haitian then looked at him eagerly and asked: "Lawyer Zhang, you said that I confessed on my own initiative and also revealed many people who gave me money. Will this... help reduce my sentence?"
"There must be help. You are doing the right thing."
Zhang Wei calmed down and said seriously: "Take the initiative to confess and explain the criminal facts that the police have not yet grasped. These are statutory and discretionary mitigating circumstances. I will use this as my main defense direction."
"Mr. Fan, now I want to ask you some questions, and you must tell them truthfully."
"Okay, I will definitely tell the truth, just ask." Fan Haitian nodded.
Zhang Wei began to make targeted inquiries.
the other side.
The Banking Regulatory Bureau's investigation into Longcheng Bank's refusal to allow depositors to withdraw money has achieved preliminary results.
The president misappropriated public funds, leaving the bank's vault empty...
No wonder I have been putting off disbursing the money.
It turned out that I couldn’t get the money out at all.
The investigation team of the Banking Regulatory Bureau reported this situation to Jiang Bai simultaneously. After all, he reported the matter and he was also the victim.
At the same time, after the simple evidence collection work, he went straight to the procuratorate.
This matter is no longer a simple bank violation, but a suspected criminal offense!
The case must be transferred to the procuratorate for subsequent investigation and prosecution.
After Jiang Bai received the feedback from the Banking Regulatory Bureau, he waited patiently.
This case has made breakthrough progress and is expected to have a result soon.
The money should be available soon.
at the same time.
With the joint action of local tourism associations, travel agency associations, and other related organizations, as well as cultural and tourism authorities, the entire tourism industry has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Travel agencies across the country have each made corrections and become more formal.
At least at this critical moment, no one dares to commit crimes against the wind.
There is no doubt that this is a good thing.
But everything has two sides.
While the changes in the tourism industry have brought about a new atmosphere, they have also caused resentment and complaints from many people.
These people can be roughly divided into two categories.
One type is people with relatively low income and consumption levels. Their consumption concept is to pursue cheap prices. As a result, low-price tours are now gone... The packages launched by various travel agencies are extremely expensive, which has exceeded their psychological expectations.
Even though reports from all sides have exposed the deceptive tactics of low-priced and black groups, they are still very dissatisfied.
The other type of people are naturally stakeholders, such as relevant personnel in travel agencies and jewelry stores.
This big change has directly reduced their income greatly, and it would be strange not to blame them.
If it is understandable that these two kinds of people complain and vent their emotions online, then the other kind of people besides them are weirdos with pure blood.
These people are neither travel enthusiasts nor industry practitioners.
It's just that the yin and yang are coming out, or you just touch porcelain ginger and white to soak up the heat.
The leader among them is a blogger named "Bishoro Warrior".
Half a million fans is not a lot.
The introduction on his homepage is very simple, with only one sentence - "The No. 1 person on the Internet to fight against counterfeiting."
The main thing that Soldier Mei Shao Lu does is to "fight counterfeiting".
However, the target of his crackdown on counterfeiting is not goods, but people.
In other words, he is an internet celebrity.
For example, a certain good-looking female internet celebrity is actually only 1.5 meters tall. She is short, fat and has bad skin.
For example, a certain "Breaking Bad" who has withdrawn from the Internet has actually been selling food anxiety, and recently switched to Shou Shou, which seems to be showing signs of selling goods through live broadcasts.
Another example is that a well-known author is actually a ghostwriter...
These things may be true or false.
But they all have very obvious characteristics, that is, the target of anti-counterfeiting has a lot of attention, and the reversal before and after the "anti-counterfeiting" is also very topical.
Naturally, the soldier Mei Shao Lu did not let go of Jiang Bai, a man with a lot of hot topics.
So taking advantage of the popularity, he released a video.
Of course, in view of Jiang Bai's terrifying "records", Soldier Mei Shaolu didn't dare to say too much. He only dared to secretly poke his yin and yang into the air. Even the title of the video was relatively subtle, and he didn't dare to use that iconic symbol.
The word "anti-counterfeiting" - "In-depth Analysis: The Truth Behind Jiang Bai's Authenticity!"
After all, he just wanted to catch the heat and get eyeballs, but he didn't want to get in.
Mei Shao Lu Warrior: "Starting from the personal experience of his parents, after a series of police reports and prosecutions, he not only successfully defended his rights, but also had the relevant personnel punished by law, and even caused major changes in the entire tourism industry. Jiang Bai is indeed the most serious person on the Internet.
One person truly deserves this title!"
"But what I want to say is that Jiang Bai's serious behavior is too high, too arrogant, and not at all close to the people."
"In other words, his seriousness cannot be copied or learned!"
"Just think about it, if it were you, would you really have the time, energy and money to support you in carrying out the so-called seriousness?"
"At the same time, I am also thinking about a question, is this really a good idea? Jiang Bai is the master of Up, and he relies on this to maintain his character. But if he were an ordinary person, would it really be worth the trouble?"
"And cats have cat lanes, dogs have dog lanes, and every industry has its own rules. Jiang Bai's true behavior may seem just, but it directly caused many people to lose their jobs, and also caused many people with average economic conditions to lose their jobs.
, are discouraged from traveling because it’s too expensive.”
"He satisfied a certain psychology of his own and successfully maintained his character, but he caused countless people to suffer losses because of it. Everyone should have a weighing scale in their own minds about right and wrong."
"In addition, I also want to ask, does Jiang Bai only dare to bully vulnerable groups in such small fights?"
"Whether it is the travel agency this time or the 4S store before, even the so-called catering industry giant, to put it bluntly, is actually just a bit bigger, not to mention that he only targets ordinary people... Everyone will not forget that
Two unlucky moving brothers, right?"
"I have to say that Jiang Bai is really a smart man. He relies on 'bullying the weak' to gain attention, and uses various conflicts to mobilize the emotions of the audience, which has brought him huge traffic and popularity. There is no doubt that he has succeeded.
Already."
"But there is a question that everyone needs to think about seriously. Can this kind of truth for ordinary people and vulnerable groups really be considered truth?"
