Chapter 348 Fetching water from a bamboo basket is in vain
Longcheng, Changhe Street Police Station, Binjiang District, interrogation room.
Liu Bo sat on the cold and hard iron chair, feeling uneasy and looking ugly.
He was taken away by the police from his home in Qingyan County, but he was not questioned at the Qingyan County Police Station. Instead, he was handed over to several police officers who claimed to be from Yuncheng, Zhejiang Province.
Then it was a bumpy ride, and we arrived at Dragon City in a police car.
Until now, Liu Bo still doesn't know what he committed. He only knows that he is suspected of fraud.
But he couldn’t even remember when he committed the fraud!
I even had a little fantasy in my heart. Did the police arrest him wrongly?
Police officers are also human beings, and as human beings they can make mistakes.
This is not impossible.
Just when Liu Bo was in a panic, he heard a "bang", the door of the interrogation room was pushed open, and two policemen walked in.
"Comrade police, did you arrest the wrong person? I did not commit any crime and I did not commit fraud!"
Liu Bo quickly shouted loudly.
"What are you yelling about, what are you yelling about!"
Lao Lin put his hands behind his back and said with a serious face, "Everyone sitting in your position says that they were wronged."
"We will naturally investigate whether it is unjust. The law will not unjustly accuse a good person, but it will not let a bad person go either!"
"Liu Bo, now I am interrogating you in accordance with the law. I hope you can honestly explain your problems and don't take any chances. Do you understand?"
"I know, I know." Liu Bo nodded slowly.
"good."
Lao Lin began to interrogate: "Let me ask you, did you ask for 50,000 yuan, 150,000 yuan and 300,000 yuan from others on the pretext of treating your father on x month x day, x month x day and x month x day respectively?
Ten thousand?"
"Ah this..."
Liu Bo's heart skipped a beat.
Only then did he suddenly realize that this was probably the fraud the police were talking about!
"Yes or no?"
Lao Lin asked urgently.
"have……"
Liu Bo lowered his head deeply.
There is no way to deny this. After all, there are transfer records and bank statements, and you can find out with a quick check.
Lao Lin asked again: "Where is the money now and how much is left?"
Liu Bo gritted his teeth and said, "Two hundred thousand as a gift and three hundred thousand as a car. They've all been spent."
"Liu Bo, you told people that your father's condition has worsened, and others kindly gave you money to save your father's life. How could you squander the money!?" Lao Lin stared at Liu Bo and asked sternly.
Liu Bo was silent for a moment and then said: "My dad is almost seventy. His health is not good to begin with. He has a lot of basic diseases. Even if he is cured this time, he will have countless illnesses in the future."
"Treating a disease... just costs money."
"Instead of throwing all this money to the hospital, it would be better to leave it to his only son!"
"What's wrong? I just think more about myself. Is this wrong?"
Old Lin laughed angrily at his words.
"Whether you would like active treatment or conservative treatment is your own choice, and others have no right to interfere."
"But if you use the excuse of treating a disease to defraud money, this is wrong and it is a crime!"
Liu Bo was stunned for a moment and shouted emotionally: "No, how can this be a crime? I didn't steal or rob!"
"I didn't force him to give me the money. He gave it to me voluntarily. It was all of his own free will!"
"He voluntarily gave me money. Why do you call me a fraud? Why!"
"snort!"
Lao Lin snorted coldly and said, "Liu Bo, you are really stubborn."
"The reason why the other party transferred the money to you is to help your father treat his illness. If you use the money to treat your father's illness, there will be no problem!"
"But you didn't!"
"You use this money to satisfy your own selfish desires. This is fictitious facts. Defrauding property for the purpose of illegal possession is not fraud!"
"Furthermore, your fraudulent proceeds exceed 500,000 yuan, which is a very large amount. Liu Bo, you are in big trouble this time."
Liu Bo finally became nervous and asked cautiously: "Comrade police, then...will I be sentenced?"
"Article 266 of the Criminal Law stipulates that whoever defrauds public or private property, if the amount is particularly huge or there are other particularly serious circumstances, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than ten years or life imprisonment, and shall also be fined or have property confiscated."
"Do you think this will lead to a prison sentence?"
Lao Lin's words were like a heavy hammer hitting Liu Bo's chest.
"Ten, more than ten years!"
Liu Bo turned pale with fright.
"No, then, can I pay back the money?"
"I returned all the money to him, I can still pay interest, I apologized to him, I..."
Lao Lin said in a deep voice: "It is appropriate to return the stolen goods and compensate you, but now, what you have to do is to explain the facts of your crime."
"If you confess, you will be given leniency! Only if you confess honestly will you have the chance to reduce your sentence."
Liu Bo nodded quickly: "Explain, I will definitely explain everything..."
His case is so simple that any newcomer can solve it.
Of course, the main reason is that the reporter brought his own evidence.
When Jiang Bai came to report the crime, he used his fine tradition and not only prepared transfer records, call records, etc., but also provided call recordings.
These are actually enough to form a complete chain of evidence.
Even if Liu Bo refused to let go or said a word, the police would still be able to close the case with zero confession.
Liu Bo was not too stupid. He knew that paper could not contain the fire, so he just poured beans out of a bamboo tube and explained everything.
Of course, there is another purpose for him to explain so happily.
That means asking Xiaoya’s family to spit out their money!
Liu Bo has no luck with this money, and Xiaoya doesn't particularly want to possess it.
Watching you enjoy happiness is more uncomfortable than me spending ten more years in jail!
With Liu Bo's cooperation, the case progressed very smoothly and the investigation was quickly concluded.
However, there is no rush to hand it over to the procuratorate. Before that, the stolen money needs to be recovered.
Lao Lin took his apprentice Xiao Chen to Qingyan County again and found Xiaoya's home.
"What?"
"Did that guy Liu Bo get this money through fraud?"
"No, what does this have to do with us? We don't know, let alone cheat with him!"
Xiaoya shouted excitedly: "Why should I give the money back? Why!"
Her mother also shouted: "That's right, this is Liu Bo's gift for marrying my daughter. Even if you are the police, you have no right to take it away!"
Lao Lin said in a deep voice: "Article 141 of the Criminal Procedure Law stipulates that any property and documents discovered during investigation activities that can be used to prove the guilt or innocence of a criminal suspect shall be sealed and seized."
"That 500,000 yuan is the illegal proceeds of the criminal suspect Liu Bo's crime, and you should repay it!"
How could Xiaoya be willing to let the duck out of her mouth and shout loudly: "No! I didn't know he cheated me. Why? Aren't you bullying others?"
"Of course we know that you don't know, otherwise it wouldn't be as simple as asking you to repay, and you might even be involved in a criminal offence."
Old Lin said with a straight face.
Xiaoya's shoulders slumped, and her whole body seemed to have lost all strength.
The mood is just like riding a roller coaster.
I originally got such a huge windfall and got a Mercedes Benz for free, but now, it's not even two days and it's all gone.
Xiaoya's mother and daughter had been plotting for a long time, but in the end it was all in vain...
