Chapter 270: Meijay
Hong Kong's Sihai Group is not well-known in W Province because it rarely sets foot in mainland business.
But in Southeast Asia, Sihai Group is simply a golden signboard, and almost all knowledgeable businessmen know Sihai Group.
Not only knows the Sihai Group, but also knows the rights and wrongs of the family at the helm of the Sihai Group.
In the past, Hong Kong people were allowed to take concubines according to the Qing Dynasty, and it was not until October 7, 1971, when the Marriage Reform Ordinance was passed, that the concubinage system was abolished. So Merlin had four brothers, and none of them were siblings.
As the youngest son, Merlin was originally extremely favored, but because of the birth of Major, his good days have come to an end.
Mei Jie is the first grandson of the Mei family, and he is the grandson of the big house, under the old idea of respecting humility, even if Mei Jie's parents died in a car accident, Mei Jie's grandfather still decided to pass on the entire Sihai Group to this golden grandson.
The first fifteen years of Merlin were smooth sailing, windy and rainy. The appearance of Major made him suddenly realize that although he was the most favored son, in the final analysis, he could not inherit any family property.
As a result of this, Major and Merlin have been in an almost hostile relationship. It wasn't until Major's parents were in a bizarre car accident that the hostility broke out.
After the storm with Merlin, the young Major learned from the pain and decided to avoid it, listen to his grandfather's words, and go to the United States to study at university.
According to Major, his parents weren't in a car accident at all, it was all Merlin's tricks.
Zhao Xiaozi didn't know if Mei Jie's parents' car accident had anything to do with Merlin, but Merlin was not a good person, and she knew it very well.
Because Chen Xiaoxiao has already asked Qian Jiashun to inquire, in the past half a year that Mei Lin has been in W Province, five girls have already come to report the case.
Although the case was not really filed in the end, anyone with a discerning eye knows the fact that Merlin Qiang raped women.
And Zhao Xiaozi and Mei Jie's acquaintance was because of a dance party. At that time, she had just been thrown away by Weng Lao to face the ball alone, and she was often harassed by some inexplicable people.
And Zhao Xiaozi owes Mei Jie a favor because Mei Jie saved her from a man who tried to kidnap her regardless of his own life.
Although Mei Jie repeatedly said that he was just hot-headed, impulsive, and regretted it afterwards, Zhao Xiaozi still accepted his affection. I've been trying to repay him for so many years.
Now that the opportunity has come, Merlin is indeed not a good thing, Zhao Xiaozi decided to push the boat down the river and help Mei Jie.
Mei Jie did not disappoint Zhao Xiaozi, he didn't know how to operate, and the next morning news came from Hong Kong: Merlin had no inheritance, and now every penny he spent belonged to his nephew. And he is suspected of embezzlement, and the Hong Kong police have approved his arrest.
The first to get the news was the government departments, they had always been counting on Merlin, a big Hong Kong businessman, to bring them political achievements and economic benefits, and now they suddenly found that they were completely tricked, and they were very angry.
So according to the normal process, Merlin and the others, who could be released early the next morning at the latest, were unexpectedly locked up until the afternoon.
Merlin had already realized that something was wrong at this time, and asked to contact the outside world countless times, but they were politely and tactfully refused.
It wasn't until the evening that Merlin was arraigned, and the police asked straight to the point about Merlin taking Zhao Xiaozi away in full view of everyone last night.
Merlin had experience dealing with this set, but his natural alertness at this time made him afraid to say more, and just insisted on seeing a lawyer.
The so-called magic is one foot high, and the road is one foot high. Merlin has a good plan, and the police in Province W also have a bridge ladder. It just took a little more time to identify two things.
First, Merlin did take Zhao Xiaozi into the car against her will, and second, Merlin did mention the check to Zhao Xiaozi in the car.
He thought he was smart and kept emphasizing that he hadn't touched Zhao Xiaozi, but he didn't know that the real trap was not here at all.
With the help of Qian Jiashun, the police in charge of interrogating Merlin dug pits for him everywhere, and after a surprise interrogation all night, he even told him that he had indeed rummaged through Zhao Xiaozi's bag and found a check.
When asked why he was looking for a check and what he was looking for, he was a little confused, and he didn't understand why he was looking for a check in Zhao Xiaozi's bag.
Combined with the news from Hong Kong, everyone quickly had a guess that he was arrested by the Hong Kong police for embezzlement of public funds, so he was eager to fill in those holes.
Last night's charity money happened to help him solve his urgent needs, so he was born out of his guts, and simply took the risk to snatch those checks from Zhao Xiaozi and use them to fill the hole.
Although it is speculated, it cannot be convicted directly. After all, the robbery of such a large amount is already a very serious circumstance, and the death sentence can be punished with a reprieve.
Qian Jiashun had already seen that this Merlin was not pleasing to the eye, made an application, and went into battle in person.
As soon as he came up, he was full of aura and said his identity: "To be honest, we can be regarded as having a relationship, you and my uncle often eat together, and I am also your junior."
Today, I'm going to make a solid deal with you as a junior, over there in Hong Kong, your eldest nephew seems to have done a little tricking, and no one over there will definitely come forward to protect you.
Now that all your accounts have been frozen, and your people have been controlled, it can be said that there is no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth. If you want to break this game, you can only cut off one arm......"
Merlin is also a little confused, and his mental quality has never been very good, so when he meets someone who is easy to talk to, he can't wait to listen to him in everything.
"What am I going to do?"
"Do you know the laws of the mainland? Your behavior is already considered a crime of robbery, and it is also a serious crime! I don't know if you want to be shot!"
"Don't scare me, I'll be shot?"
"How could it not, the major robbery crimes in the mainland's punishment can always be punished by death! Think about it, Zhao Xiaozi's bag has all the money raised last night, which is more than 20 million!
Although you were stopped by us and attempted to rob, your actions have already broken the law!"
"I don't want to * vote! I ...... I, I'm going to ask for a check? I don't want a check. Merlin objected excitedly.
"You can't deny this, we all have recordings as proof, don't believe me to show it to you!" Qian Jiashun's face was solemn, and he no longer looked like a good gentleman just now.
Qian Jiashun immediately became excited when he heard the recording, but it was indeed his voice, and he was indeed repeating the words "What about the check, what about the check".
Seeing that Mei Jie was distracted again, Qian Jiashun changed his tone and then coaxed him: "Look, the evidence is conclusive, this is a recording that has been tested by the technical department, and there is no problem at all, that is, your voice, and dare to say that you don't want a check?"
Seeing that Mei Jie was frightened, Qian Jiashun's tone softened even more: "You also know that my uncle has a good relationship with you, and I must think about you."
You admit that you want a check, but it's only a temporary idea, and you give up on it immediately after being stopped by the police, so you can be considered lost.
When the trial comes, if you have a better attitude and admit your mistakes and be more proactive, I will be able to use my connections to help you reduce your sentence, and then you will be released after being locked up for three or two months at most.
When you're released, don't you just do whatever you want? It's better than just spending it at the police station!
According to the process of our mainland, under such conclusive evidence, if you don't admit it, then you will be locked up in the police station all the time, are you willing?"
Because Merlin didn't know the laws of the mainland at all, and because he was really close to Qian Jiashun's uncle some time ago, he first believed eight points.
Qian Jiashun made persistent efforts, and continued to speak mysteriously: "You have to hold on, your nephew is amazing, I heard that he will fly over from Hong Kong tomorrow, and he also invited the mayor of our city to have dinner together, saying that he wants to talk about investment."
Wouldn't your situation be even more dangerous if the mayor were to side with him? Hurry up and define the matter before your nephew comes, and even if he wants to, his influence will be limited.
My uncle and I are much easier to move around, don't you?"
Merlin's face was full of hesitation, and it was obvious that he had wavered. I asked again and again if I only had to stay in prison for three or two months to get out.
Qian Jiashun went outside and made several phone calls, and when he came back, his tone was even more urgent: "It is said that not only the mayor was invited, but also the director of the Public Security Bureau.
You have to make a decision quickly, and when the time comes, I will find a relationship to do an urgent matter, preferably I can go to court tomorrow, and then the specific sentence will be determined.
Believe me, if you have a good attitude, we will definitely be able to be active for three or two months. Of course, the outcome of the trial will definitely not be only three or two months, but we can let you make meritorious service in prison, make a meritorious service, and the sentence will be commuted immediately, and you Hong Kong is the same, right?!"
Merlin was infected by Qian Jiashun's urgent tone, and he was also a little anxious for a while, thinking of the nephew who was born to deal with him, his reason was washed away at all, and finally signed the confession prepared by Qian Jiashun in advance.
After appeasing Merlin again, Qian Jiashun took the signed confession and went to Chen Xiaoxiao to ask for credit.
"If you lie to him like this, aren't you afraid that he will retract his confession in court? When he comes back to his senses, what will you do? What if he sues you to induce a confession?" Chen Xiaoxiao, who already knew the whole process, said angrily.
"It's okay, he won't retract his confession in court. At most, I went to prison to regain my taste and asked for a retrial.
But if you think about it, he has been so high-profile in the past six months, and how many people he has offended, especially those people in the government, who serve him like a grandson every day, and it turns out that he is a fake emperor, and it is not bad if he does not fall into the ground! As long as Hong Kong does not interfere!
Chen Xiaoxiao's face suddenly became a little strange, and he spoke after a while: "No, Xiaozi said, Hong Kong will only thank us......"
Qian Jiashun paused, and his expression was a little tangled: "You say, this can't all be made by Xiaozi, right?"
