"Do you have the answers to these questions?" Looking at Lu Zenghan's radiant gaze, I was a little more sure.

"What do you think?" Lu Zenghan asked me unexpectedly.

"Me?" I thought for a long time and didn't have a clue, "I don't know how they operate, but will they use paintings as a tool for money laundering like Xia Mengci?" ”

Lu Zenghan glanced at me approvingly: "You are very smart. Ke Yi did paint in the name of Lan Ke in Nancheng for a while, but her method was different from that of Xia Mengci. Xia Mengci hyped up her reputation through the gallery, and then auctioned it. And Ke Yi is able to go to the upper class, customize paintings, and then sell them for profit through art exhibitions of professional companies. I've known this before. ”

"But this method of money laundering is not large-scale, even if Zou Shizhao uses it, it is too small, and it seems to be a little smaller to use it to connect the interest circle of Tan Enming and Lao Jiao. I followed the line, and sure enough, I found something. Lu Zenghan's eyes lit up, "Most of the paintings sold by Ke Yi end up in some countries in Southeast Asia, Thailand, Myanmar, and Singapore, where there will be secondary auctions, where the real money laundering is place." The price has increased dozens or even hundreds of times, maliciously speculating on high prices, and then through the money banks there, the money is really laundered. ”

I was a little dizzy: "Didn't you say that Tan Enming has an underground bank in Nancheng, why did he go to Southeast Asia to launder money?" ”

Lu Zenghan shook his head and said, "You are too simple. How could he be such a shrewd man, who only washed once? Won't the police be exposed when they check it? The underground money bank in Nancheng is the first time to launder, transfer the money to Southeast Asia, and then enlarge the leverage there for the second money laundering, and transfer the money to a bank account in Switzerland or other places, which is really safe. After all, it is still difficult for the police to reach out to the outside country to investigate. In this way, it is equivalent to secondary insurance, and the whereabouts of all their money will be cut off after arriving in Southeast Asia, and the police will not be able to find out. ”

"What is Jiao's password?" I was even more puzzled. It seemed to be a world far away from me, like a nine-story demon tower, with unique interpretation codes and operating rules.

"That password should be an account for them to share the spoils." Lu Zenghan hooked his lips and said, "The reason why the task force put pressure behind the scenes, let Xiao Yanning's case be slowed down, and Yingying's case was slowed down, was to find out where a large amount of project funds went. ”

"What project?" I asked.

"Four years ago, many shipyards in Nancheng had a large-scale desulphurization equipment project, which is an environmental protection project, and desulfurization can reduce pollutant emissions in the ship's fuel process. This project is at the forefront today. At that time, the province invested billions of yuan, but in the end, it was not done, and the existing equipment models and numbers were very different from the original declaration. For example, when the original report was gold, the things that could be bought were rotten iron. Lu Zenghan said, "And because the desulfurization equipment is not up to standard, it also led to a fire." It was this fire that caused trouble for Uncle Zhao, and the above began to check him. ”

"This is the reason why Zhao Ju had an accident?" I'm confused.

"Yes. I have also checked the investigation records of that year, and the money invested by the province did indeed buy the imported desulfurization equipment, and the customs records are there. The model and number are the same as the declaration, indicating that the process of buying is no problem. But when it was installed, it was stolen and replaced with columns, and it became something else. The result of the investigation four years ago was that the purchased desulfurization equipment was smuggled out at a low price, and the cheap and low-end second-hand desulfurization equipment was smuggled back from abroad. The smugglers made a lot of money from it. Lu Zenghan's eyes began to be heavy, "And in the whole process, only Uncle Zhao's overseas account found out the income, and he became the only one who carried the black pot." Everyone else is innocent. Since I arrived in Nancheng, I have been trying to check, but I have never found a gap. ”

I was even more confused: "What does this have to do with the password, and what does it have to do with my sister?" After thinking about it, he said, "Is it related to Zou Shizhao?" Doesn't he also have a shipyard? ”

Lu Zenghan hooked his lips helplessly and said: "The one who caught fire was his shipyard." He said he had nothing to do with it, and I didn't believe it. ”

I thought about it for a moment and asked, "Is that the logic of the whole thing like this?" Zou Shizhao first ganged up with Zhao Ju, but later Zhao Ju wanted to break away from Zou Shizhao, so he used his sister to break up with Zou Shizhao. Zou Shizhao got involved with Tan Enming and Lao Jiao. Later, my sister handed over Zou Shizhao's incriminating evidence, and Zou Shizhao was imprisoned for a few days, but because Zou Shizhao had Tan Enming and Lao Jiao behind him, he was released. began to frantically take revenge on his sister and Zhao Ju. He deliberately caused a fire, causing the above to investigate the desulfurization equipment, and then stuffed Zhao Ju into it? Coincidentally, Zhao Ju went to the United States without waiting for the results of the investigation to come out, which is equivalent to not confessing to himself, and completely carrying the charge on himself, plus Zhao Ju had an accident in the United States later, this black pot was pressed on Zhao Ju? ”

Lu Zenghan let out a long sigh, squeezed my hand hard, and said, "That's the case, Qiaoqiao." When I participated in the Nancheng case this time, I started with Zou Shizhao and went undercover on a voyage. He is the best person to intervene, and I also have a selfish desire to know what happened to Uncle Zhao's desulfurization equipment back then, so I tried every means to provoke Zou Shizhao's side to smuggle and deliver goods, just to know where that batch of equipment went and where it was imported from the defective products. But there was no definite news. ”

"Until yesterday, I noticed that they deliberately concealed Ke Yi's death, and when I thought back to Chen Chen's case, I suddenly had a feeling that Ke Yi might also be like Chen Chen, playing a related role in a certain link between them. So I checked, Keyi's role should be in their second money laundering, that is, Southeast Asia, I asked Interpol's buddies to check as soon as possible, in Thailand's largest art investment market, there is Keyi's account, and her account is also linked to three accounts, one of which is Uncle Zhao's, and it was cancelled. The other two are Zou Shizhao and Tan Enming, and there is a bound account on her account, using a fake name and fake documents, I can't find out who it is for the time being, but I guess it's Lao Jiao. After Keyi's death, no money was added to this account. Lu Zenghan's expression was a little cold.

"So what do you mean is that several of them are associated with my sister's account, and they use their sister's identity and painting to launder the money here for the second time, and the laundered money is transferred to my sister's account first, and then to Lao Jiao, so Lao Jiao controls the accounts of Zou Shizhao and Tan Enming, and they can't easily get the money that is stolen?" I asked.

"Yes." Lu Zenghan said affirmatively, "So whether it's Zou Shizhao or Tan Enming, it's clear that the knife is on his neck, and he is reluctant to leave, just thinking about this money." Lu Zenghan sighed, "It's really a man who dies for money, and birds die for food, if he breaks his wrist early, Zou Shizhao won't need to die, and Tan Enming won't have to work so hard." ”

"The password that my sister said is the password for this account?" I finally kind of got it.

Lu Zenghan nodded: "There should also be a huge amount of money for smuggling desulfurization equipment here." As long as a few of them conspire to do something, they must all go through this account. When Keyi was alive, she must have come forward to negotiate with the Thai side, so Tan Enming and the others were so afraid that the Thai side would know about her death. I should also be worried that there will be problems with the account. ”

I understood a little, and suddenly changed my mind again: "That sister refuses to leave Nancheng, does she just want to report the account to give Zhao Ju an innocence, perhaps, Zhao Ju is really innocent in this matter." ”

Lu Zenghan took me into his arms, and his breath could be heard: "I hope it is like this, too." He said that it was the direction of the future shipyard, although the early investment is large, but the environmental protection benefits in the later stage are not economically measurable. He is such a strategic person, and he is also a person who can think about problems from a strategic perspective, I never believe that his vision will be so short-sighted, just for the benefit of flies and dogs, he will mix with Tan Enming and them. ”

"But what if you don't mix together? Even Lao Jiao is that kind of person, if he is too innocent, he may not be able to do anything, he can only follow them to survive in the water, and then realize his ambitions. I looked at him steadfastly.

"Do you really think he's innocent?" Lu Zenghan looked at me, and his eyes were a little excited.

I nodded: "I trust my sister's vision." ”

Lu Zenghan hugged me so tightly that I could barely breathe. But I willingly endured his exertion, rising and falling with his breathing. I hope Zhao Lichuan is a good person, and that kind of man is worthy of my sister.

After a while, he finally let me go, and I rubbed my somewhat sore arm and said, "It's just that I don't understand, why is he in a hurry to go to the United States?" Maybe he waits for the results of the investigation, it will be different. ”

"yes. I didn't understand it before, and I always felt that he ran away, and there were no three hundred taels of silver in this place. If not his sin, it became his sin. But now I understand. Lu Zenghan looked at me fixedly, his eyes were indistinguishable whether they were tangled or painful, "There was something wrong with his eyes, just before he went to the United States, his eyes had macular degeneration, and the situation was very urgent." But at that time, the authorities kept asking him for investigation, so he had to go to the United States for treatment first, and Keyi stayed here. He used a different name to see an ophthalmologist in the United States, which I hadn't found before, until I checked Uncle Zhao's file again yesterday, and I heard a clerk who had been vetted at that time casually mention his eyes. ”

I can't describe my feelings, Lu Zenghan's words made my heart go up and down like a roller coaster, until he finished speaking for a long time, I shuddered and asked, "Is there a problem with his eyes?" Macular degeneration? ”

"Yes." Lu Zenghan said firmly, his eyes were full of color, "Macular degeneration, he will cry after looking at things for a long time, it is impossible for him to look at the painting of your sub-personality for a long time, and there is no way to say that he can see the spiral curve and his depression is aggravated." ”
