"Officer Qin, we have completed the inspection here and will notify you as soon as we have the results."
"Thank you, brothers. I'll treat you to a supper later." Qin Yi smiled and greeted several police officers from the forensics department, "Mao Zai, give it to me."
Carrying a bag of drinks, Mao Zai enthusiastically sent the people from the forensic department to the car. When he came back, he gave each of the uniformed police officers guarding the scene a box of cigarettes.
Lu Zhilian sat next to him with a solemn expression, staring blankly at the wreckage of his car, not knowing what he was thinking.
Qin Yi walked over and asked with concern, "Brother Lian, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Lu Zhilian shook his head.
"Then what are you thinking about?"
"my car……"
"Have you bought insurance?"
"I bought it, but will the insurance company pay for it?"
"I'll buy you a new one if you don't pay." Qin Yi patted Lu Zhilian on the shoulder, "What kind of car do you like?"
Lu Zhilian was stunned for a moment and quickly shook his head, "I can't have it."
"Officer Qin, you are suspected of bribing an ICAC investigator." Li Tian, the Chief Investigation Director of the ICAC, walked over.
Qin Yi looked at Li Tian and sneered, "Our family is just joking. You don't have to be so serious, Director Li."
"Many people are dragged into the trap by their family members." Li Tian said calmly, "In order to combat corruption and uphold integrity, the Independent Commission Against Corruption must set an example."
Qin Yi gave a thumbs up, "I have heard of the reputation of Lian Ji. Since you are so powerful, what did the legislators from the Asia-Pacific Communications Center reveal about you and find out?"
"This is the secret of our Independent Commission Against Corruption and it is not convenient to disclose it." Li Tian replied with an unchanged expression.
"I believe that you will be able to find a result that satisfies the citizens of Hong Kong Island and live up to the reputation of fairness and impartiality." Qin Yi showed a sarcastic smile, "I won't ask you about the investigation. What about St. George Investment Company?"
Why don't you guys want to accept the offer despite all the pushback?"
"The funds involved exceed tens of billions, and those involved are all government officials, congressmen, judges, and lawyers. It involves a series of crimes such as official crimes, corruption, money laundering, malfeasance, and so on."
"How did your Independent Commission Against Corruption respond? It said that this case did not involve the scope of the Independent Commission Against Corruption and that we, the police force, could handle it ourselves."
A strange embarrassment flashed across Li Tian's face, and he quickly calmed down, "I don't understand what you're talking about. We have to provide evidence when investigating the case. Those who are within the scope of our responsibilities will never shirk the blame or shirk responsibility.
Will meddle in other departments' affairs at will."
"The existing evidence of the case of St. George Investment Company is enough for you to file a case, but you still refuse to accept it. I think you don't dare to accept it." Qin Yi sneered.
Li Tian looked a little ugly and said angrily, "Our Integrity Records are here to combat corruption and promote integrity, not as a tool for internal fighting in your police force."
"Director Li, what you said is really interesting. Could it be that because the scandal involved internal strife in other departments, you didn't investigate?" Qin Yi chuckled, "Your Lianji still selectively enforces the law."
"You..." Li Tian suddenly realized that he had made a mistake, "Officer Qin, please don't misinterpret my meaning..."
"Okay, Director Li, I still admire the Independent Commission Against Corruption." Qin Yi directly interrupted Li Tian and patted Lu Zhilian, "You, the Independent Commission Against Corruption, risked their lives just to investigate the case."
"In order to stop the investigation, even car bombs were used. It seems like a big deal."
Li Tian frowned and looked at Lu Zhilian, "What are you looking for?"
Lu Zhilian stood up quickly and said, "Director Li, I recently received an anonymous report about corruption, dereliction of duty, bribery, stock price manipulation, and insider trading by certain officials of the China Securities Regulatory Commission."
Li Tian's heart skipped a beat. The water at the China Securities Regulatory Commission was not as deep as usual.
Li Tian didn't even have to think about whether there were any problems with the China Securities Regulatory Commission. It was the hardest hit area for money laundering, bribery, and insider trading.
Especially in the past few years, Gui Lao has been making money in every aspect in order to escape.
After the money is collected, it will be laundered through the stock market and turned into legal income.
Li Tian suddenly had a headache when he saw Lu Zhilian and Qin Yi sitting together.
Why are all the lawsuits received by the Independent Commission Against Corruption recently involving such hot stones?
You can neither check nor ask.
It’s even more impossible not to pick up...
“Kacha kacha!”
While Li Tian was still deep in thought, there was a shutter sound all around him, and the flash made him unable to open his eyes.
"Hey, no photos allowed."
Several ICAC men who followed Li Tianlai quickly stepped forward to stop him, "We are in the process of doing something, please don't disturb us."
"We are journalists, please don't interfere with press freedom!"
"What's so great about Incorruptible Records! We are reporters, be careful to expose you!"
"Lian Ji hit someone! Sir! Sir!"
Li Tian looked at Qin Yi and forced a smile, "Officer Qin, this time we will cooperate with the police and investigate the case together?"
Facing the olive branch offered by Li Tian, Qin Yi stood up with a smile, "No problem, our police force will definitely do a good job in cooperating."
Qin Yi waved his hand, and Mao Zai immediately stepped forward to stop the reporter. After a while of comforting him, he said a few words that were neither salty nor nutritious, and then sent the reporter away.
Seeing that the reporter finally left, Li Tiancai breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Qin Yi.
He was a little wary because this was not the first time he had dealt with Qin Yi.
Li Tian learned about Qin Yi's difficulty last time at the Independent Commission Against Corruption, allowing Qin Yi to escape easily.
Cooperating with Qin Yi this time gave him some bad premonitions.
But the reporter showed up, and the affair would soon be exposed, putting Lian Ji on the fire.
Li Tian had to join forces with Qin Yi to quickly solve the problem.
It can be said that the Independent Commission Against Corruption has been having a bad year recently, and the cases it encounters are getting more and more troublesome.
First, officials in the Asia-Pacific Communication Center broke the news to each other, then the police dumped tens of thousands of officials and was deceived, and now there is a case of money laundering fraud at the China Securities Regulatory Commission, and the Integrity Records investigators are being killed to silence them.
"Let Brother Lian and Director Li introduce the specific situation." Qin Yi patted Lu Zhilian, "I'm going to check on the bomb."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Qin Yi came out of the parking lot and took out his phone, and asked with a sullen face: "Abu, I asked you to find someone to hunt down Lian Ji's people, what are you doing?
It's big enough that even bombs are used."
"Ah?" Abu looked confused, "Boss, I just asked the killer to scare the target, but I didn't let them actually take action."
"Where did you find this person?"
"Kowloon Walled City."
"They almost killed someone today!"
Abu's face became serious, "Boss, give me an hour and I will solve it."
…
In the dark and narrow alleys, sewage flows across the streets and garbage is strewn on the ground.
No one here wants to take a look except when taking out the trash.
A few rats were scurrying around, rummaging through the garbage for food scraps.
While he was feasting, a cat suddenly jumped out and bit a fat mouse.
"ah!"
A scream came from the alley, and the cat was so frightened that it let go of the mouse and quickly ran away.
"Brother, brother, stop fighting, stop fighting!"
Two people with bruises and swollen faces huddled on the ground, desperately begging for mercy, "Brother, please, where did we go wrong? Can't we change it?"
Abu picked up one of them and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days. You are playing with fireworks instead of guns."
"What? What fireworks?" The two people who were beaten looked confused.
"I asked you to scare people. You installed bombs in the car, which was quite a joke." Abu snorted coldly, "Tell me, whose idea was it?"
"Brother, we didn't! We were wronged!" The killer kept shouting, "We didn't put a bomb. Even if you gave us a bomb, we still have to know how to use it."
"Yes, it's okay if you ask us to shoot. We don't understand bombs at all and have never used them before."
"Didn't you do it?" Abu frowned.
The two killers shook their heads desperately, "It's really not us, we can swear it."
"It's useless to talk nonsense. Since you didn't do it, I'll give you half a day to find the person who did it." Abu pointed at the two people, "If I can't figure it out, I'll just assume it was you two."
"sure!"
"roll!"
The two people ran out of the back alley and quickly disappeared.
Abu picked up his cell phone and dialed, "Boss, I asked, it wasn't them who did it, there is a group of killers who have their eyes on the target."
Qin Yi was a little surprised, "Is it such a coincidence?"
"Give me a day and I will find you the person who planted the bomb."
"Okay, I'll wait."
After Qin Yi hung up the phone, he suddenly laughed and said, "This is getting more and more interesting."
It seems that Lu Zhilian is still very capable. He has found out a lot of things based on the information he gave him, so much so that some people are anxious to silence him.
Even bombs were used. It seemed that Lu Zhilian had key evidence.
"This is good. The bigger things get, the better."
Qin Yi immediately rushed to the Independent Commission Against Corruption and found Lu Zhilian.
"Brother Lian, what's the status of your case?"
"This..." Lu Zhilian hesitated, looked around, pulled Qin Yi to the corner, and said nervously, "Don't talk outside, this is against discipline."
"With the information you gave me, I will start with the shell companies of the Landowners Association. These companies are all agents of the Landowners Association. The Landowners Association does not come forward at all, so it is difficult to capture actual evidence."
"The owner of the shell company is Ma Zhihua, who mysteriously disappeared a month ago."
"Ma Zhihua controlled most of the shares of a parent company called Fenghua International through shell company holdings. The apparent boss of this company is Luo Yaoming."
"I can't find Ma Zhihua, so I can only start with Luo Yaoming. He has been selling stocks crazily recently."
Qin Yi nodded thoughtfully, "Have you checked the other shareholders of Fenghua International?"
"Not yet." Lu Zhilian was stunned for a moment, "Did you find anything?"
"There are two other shareholders of Fenghua International, one is named Fei Guoxiong and the other is Xu Wei. They didn't run away, right?" Qin Yi looked at Lu Zhilian, "If they didn't run away, catch them first."
"What about Luo Yaoming?"
"How has the stock market fallen recently? It's not that easy for Luo Yaoming to sell and run away." Qin Yi smiled slightly, "I guess he is hiding and waiting for the stocks to be liquidated before running away. I will have someone check Luo Yaoming. You can handle it.
The other two."
The two of them acted separately, and Qin Yi led his men to explore the smuggling route.
Lu Zhilian's efficiency was unexpectedly high, and he quickly summoned Fei Guoxiong and Xu Wei.
These two people simply gave up and asked to be turned into tainted witnesses.
Even though their immediate superiors were gone, they still resisted and sold Ma Zhihua completely.
Lu Zhilian took the two people's confessions and handed them to Li Tian excitedly, "Director Li, they are both here."
Li Tian's head suddenly hurt more and more when he looked at the confession record. What the two men uncovered was simply shocking.
Fenghua International's stock price manipulation involved more than one billion yuan, which can be said to be quite a big deal.
But compared to the money laundering, stock price manipulation, and insider trading that Ma Zhihua was involved in, it pales into insignificance.
The most terrible thing is that before his disappearance, Ma Zhihua was purchasing the stocks of Changhe Industrial and Hutchison.
As a result, the people disappeared after receiving them, and they disappeared from the world without any news.
Li Tian put down his confession with trembling hands, "Don't investigate the disappearance of Ma Zhihua. Investigate other matters first."
"Ah? Why?" Lu Zhilian was shocked, "He is the white glove of the Landowners Association, an important suspect and witness. How can we investigate if we don't find him?"
"Then tell me, how are you going to investigate his disappearance?" Li Tian asked with a cold face.
"This... Let's start with the last thing Ma Zhihua was doing." Lu Zhilian said excitedly, "He was acquiring shares of Changhe Industrial. Let's check who was acquiring these shares at that time..."
"Stop!" Li Tian interrupted Lu Zhilian, "Do you know what you are doing? Do you know how many people are involved? Do you know who they are?"
"All the tycoons in Hong Kong are acquiring shares of Cheung He Holdings. This is obvious. Do you want to check them all?"
"Why do you believe that Ma Zhihua's disappearance is related to this incident?"
"Director Li, I..." Lu Zhilian was stunned.
"This piece of eucalyptus, go to Ma Zhihua, don't cause any trouble for me." Li Tian withheld the confession, "Isn't such a big piece of eucalyptus enough for you to investigate?"
Lu Zhilian walked out of Li Tian's office with a disappointed look on his face, looked up at the ICAC LoGo on the wall, and sighed.
…
"This press release is well written." Qin Yi nodded with satisfaction, "There is no need to write the name Ma Zhihua directly, just use Ma Moumou, and the company name is not imitated, so readers can guess it at a glance."
"The pacing picks up quickly. The writing focuses on what Ma was doing before he disappeared, and then he makes some connections to give readers more hints."
"The rest is all up to everyone to figure out."
"Boss, if you do this, no one will dare to buy the shares of Changhe Industrial for at least a year." Jian Aowei hesitated, "This is not good."
"What's wrong?" Qin Yi smiled slightly, "The Independent Commission Against Corruption is not afraid of authority and has the courage to challenge the masterminds behind the scenes and expose the truth. I am helping Lianji become famous."
"Besides, these are all investigated by reporters themselves, and the news reports are written by themselves. I can't hinder press freedom."
"Boss, have you already planned it?" Jian Aowei was a little confused.
"How is this possible?" Qin Yi looked innocent, "What does this matter have to do with me?"
