Coming out of the traffic police force, it was almost noon. Yu Shan drove the car to find a hotel with a private room, and when he sat in the box, he called Zhang Yi.

As soon as the phone was dialed, Yu Shan said on the phone that he already knew the name of the deceased and asked Zhang Yi to come to the hotel to meet him, and the others went back to stand by first. Zhang Yi asked for the location of the hotel, and then hung up the phone.

Yu Shan's restaurant specializes in Lu cuisine, he is a typical Northeast person, and his taste is on the heavy side. When the southern food is eaten in his mouth, there is nothing salty and bland, not to mention, it is still sweet and sweet, I really can't stand it. After making the call, Yu Shan called the waiter and ordered a few delicious meals. When the dishes were ready, Zhang Yiren also arrived.

The two greeted each other and sat down face to face. Yu Shan pointed to the dishes on the table and said, "Eat first, this restaurant tastes good." We'll talk about the rest after eating. ”

Zhang Yi responded, so neither of them spoke anymore and concentrated on the dishes in front of them. Yu Shan hadn't eaten delicious food for some days, and Zhang Yi, a young man in his early twenties, was able to eat it, seeing that Zhang Yi was eating so deliciously, Yu Shan unconsciously ate a lot more. When Yu Shan really couldn't eat, there were some cold dishes left on the table, and everything else was swept away by them.

Yu Shan drank two sips of tea, pondered it with his stomach, and said, "The deceased's name is Wang Qianming, the humble and the clear." I got a Hong Kong Island ID card. You haven't used your Hong Kong and Macau pass yet, have you? ”

"Haven't used it yet." Zhang Yi replied.

"Then you go back to Hong Kong Island and find a private detective agency to check on this person, the more detailed the better." As he spoke, Yu Shan handed the backpack beside him to Zhang Yi: "There are Hong Kong dollars and RMB here, and you will give the big guy a cent when you turn back the RMB." ”

Zhang Yi took the backpack and didn't open it, but asked, "Boss, how detailed is it?" ”

"Let's put it this way, Wang Qianming used to have a mainland ID card, and you have to find out where his hometown is. In addition, you also have to check Wang Qianming's social relations on Hong Kong Island in recent years. ”

Zhang Yi was a little hesitant, he had to go to Hong Kong Island, which was completely unfamiliar, and he was a little worried about him in his early twenties.

Yu Shan said: "In addition, let Liu Xiaosong think about what to say and be ready to go to the police station as an eyewitness." You ask people to inquire frequently, and wait a few days. If the police have not filed a case within three days, let Liu Xiaosong testify. Although he has already decided in his heart that it was Qiao Si who killed Wang Qianming, the speculation is just speculation, not necessarily the truth. In the unlikely event of a small probability, it is likely to seriously affect the layout of Yu Shan. So he had to be cautious.

"Okay." Zhang Yi had no objection and agreed to it.

Yu Shan nodded, turned his head sideways, poked his head out of the box and looked around, and said, "I'll go first, you wait a while before leaving." In the future, I will still contact by email, and I may change this number at any time. ”

After speaking, Yu Shan got up and left the hotel.

Wang Qianming, who had just emerged, died immediately, and he was still killed. Yu Shan originally wanted to dig out more information about Qiao Si from Wang Qianming, but this time it's good, the clues are gone, and there are more questions.

Seeing that February was about to pass, Yu Shan had spent too much time here, and what he lacked now was time. He has already selected the most suitable case from the large amount of information he brought over in the past five years - the counterfeit money case!

The case spanned a long period of time, from 99 years to 13 years. In order to arrest these suspects, the police went to 11 provinces and cities, and it took 14 years to finally catch the source of the counterfeit banknotes.

Yu Shan reviewed the case repeatedly, and had only one evaluation of the case, which was awesome. Why is it awesome? First of all, after the investigation of this case, the police found that 93% of the counterfeit money in circulation in China was made by this gang; Secondly, the rubber board of this group is actually hand-painted! One of the main culprits was a well-known painter, and in the seventies, his hand-painted food stamps looked more like real than real. By the end of the 90s, the painter's skills were even more extreme, and it is said that the investigator who handled the case once compared the offset plate he had drawn by hand with the template of the banknote printing factory, and could not find the difference at all. If it weren't for paper, ink, and some technical problems, the gang would not have printed counterfeit money, but real money. You just say it's awesome, right?

In the interview record about this painter, the police did not understand it, and felt that the painter had this technology and could make a living from it, so why should he engage in such a high-risk, high-investment, low-return manufacturing of counterfeit banknotes?

Yes, you read that right, counterfeit banknotes are a high-risk, high-investment, low-return industry. Not to mention the high risk, the core members of the counterfeit money gang are all starting from ten years, and the circumstances are serious and can be sentenced to life imprisonment until the death penalty.

It is difficult for ordinary people to understand the high investment and low returns of this industry. Let's start with the high investment, the printing press that prints counterfeit money is not an ordinary product. In all kinds of counterfeit money cases, there are also some whimsical criminals who set up a few ordinary printers and then start printing them in batches. As a result, when these idiots were caught by the police, they hadn't even found the buyer.

The printing of banknotes is generally divided into offset printing and gravure printing. There are more than 200,000 offset printing machines, and more than 300,000 good ones; A gravure printing press is even more expensive, at least 500,000 or 600,000 yuan.

Once you have the machine, you have to get special paper and special ink. Not to mention the ink, the formula is all confidential, just the paper. The paper used for banknotes is not wood pulp, but cotton pulp, and the price difference between the two is very large.

After that, there are watermarks, anti-counterfeiting, opening, etc., and when you get this series of things done, one or two million will be thrown out. When the counterfeit money is printed, you find out that the price of the counterfeit money on the market is ridiculously low. A counterfeit $100 coin can sell for two to six dollars, depending on the quality.

If you use offset printing, the cost is low, and you can make some money; If it is intaglio printing, it is estimated that the counterfeiter will have to scold his mother. His 100 yuan counterfeit money costs more than ten yuan, and the highest price on the market is only six yuan, which is equivalent to selling a loss of four yuan! Who can stand it?

Therefore, in order to make a profit, most of the counterfeit money is printed with offset plates. And in order to get rich, these people can only expand their scale. Only when the scale comes up, can the benefits keep up. Huh? Just looking at the characteristics of this industry, is it like those domestic foundries?

Now you understand why it's high-risk, high-investment, and low-return, right? That's why the police didn't understand the well-known painter.

Yu Shan aimed at this case, and after studying it for so many days, he found a perfect entry point.

At this point in time, the counterfeit suffered a major blow when one of the core members of the gang was arrested in the process of transporting the counterfeit money. Because they were worried that their accomplices would recruit everyone, the gang immediately stopped work, sealed the printing house, and scattered and hidden. Everyone ran away, but only one person not only stayed, but also continued to trade with the downline.

This bold man is the painter named Yu Danian. It may not be accurate to say that Yu Danian was bold, but this person is indeed very short of money, because it was his son who was caught by the police transporting counterfeit money. In order to fine his son, Yu Danian has spent all the family's savings. And in order to make his son feel better in prison and get the chance to have his sentence commuted, he still needs more money. So Yu Danian in this period was like crazy, counterfeit money was sold out, and offset plates also dared to be sold.

I don't know if this person is lucky or not, but the Guangdong police have not found him in previous investigations. That's it, a few days later, when he traded the offset version, because of the temporary instigation, he actually let him escape. At that time, it was a native from northern Xinjiang who came to buy the offset version, and that person was from southern Hunan, and he was the downline of this gang of counterfeit money. After a few years of operation, I made a lot of money, so I thought about going it alone. What he didn't know was that he had been targeted by the police for a long time. He had just arrived in Guangdong on the front foot, and the Xiangnan police not only followed him, but also sent a notice to the Guangdong police to assist in the investigation.

It's also because Yu Da is on the verge of his age, otherwise he would definitely have squatted longer than his son, and he didn't know if he would be able to come out alive in this life.

If it is according to historical inertia, Yu Danian will escape a few days later, but if Yu Shan participates, the result is difficult to say. Win before you think about defeat, Yu Shan already knows too many details from the information of one or five years, although there are still some details that are not clear, but Yu Shan feels that he can cope with the past. He was now thinking more about retreat.

To this end, Yu Shan drove around Shenzhen and Hong Kong for a full day, bought all the equipment he needed, then changed his mobile phone card, and drove straight to Shanwei - where Yu Danian's counterfeit money den.

From Shenzhen-Hong Kong to Shanwei, counting a distance within the city, the whole journey is about 180 kilometers. In the afternoon, it suddenly rained, and Yu Shan had to reduce his speed for safety. The rain was too heavy on the way, and Yu Shan had to find a small town to shelter from the rain. By the time he arrived at Shanwei, it was already past ten o'clock at night.

Ignoring the exhaustion and hunger of his body, Yu Shan found the map and drove to Yu Danian's den. Yu Danian's den is next to the vocational and technical school, in an urban village. Of course, this place is not an urban village, but a serious village.

After the reopening, there used to be a hardware processing factory in the village, but because of poor management, it was sold to individuals. Later, he changed hands several times, and was favored by the counterfeit money gang and simply bought it.

The location of the processing plant is very remote, and Yu Shan drove around for a long time to find it. Yu Shan looked through the car window for a long time, and if it weren't for the name plate of Wanshun hardware processing in front of him, he couldn't see what he was doing at all. Inside the iron gate is a large courtyard, surrounded by two factories, and the yard is littered with waste materials and weeds at least half a meter high. The windows of the factory were so dark that you couldn't see what was inside.
