Chapter 277: The Old Lady's Judgment
The old lady smiled slightly and said, "Oh, Cheng Yu, can't he get through on the phone?"
At this moment, Ning Kezhu finally remembered, and she said, "You are Cheng Yu's landlord, right? Professor Wu University, your son-in-law is also one of the partners of Cheng Yu's company?"
When the old lady heard this, she could basically determine Ning Kezhu's identity, she smiled and said, "Yes, Cheng Yu, this kid has been going out early and returning late recently, and he seems to be very busy." Why don't you come to my house and sit down for a while, or do you go back first, and when he comes back, I'll ask him and ask him to call you back?"
Ning Kezhu said: "Is it convenient to come to your house?"
The old lady smiled and let go of her body and said, "It's nothing inconvenient, I'm just an old woman, and my wife has been gone for a long time." You're here, just in time to chat with me. ”
Ning Kezhu said, "Then I'll bother you." ”
After entering the door, Ning Kezhu remembered the old lady's question just now, and hurriedly replied: "Cheng Yu, this kid, I don't know what's wrong, the phone has been turned off." ”
The old lady asked Ning Kezhu to sit down, poured her a glass of water, and said, "This kid has been very busy lately, and I often hear that he only comes back in the middle of the night, and leaves early in the morning. He used to come to eat with me all the time, and he hasn't been here much recently. Maybe your phone is out of battery, so you don't have to worry too much. ”
Ning Kezhu nodded and said, "Cheng Yu has caused you a lot of trouble by renting your house, right? I have also heard him say that he has always come to you to eat." ”
The old lady smiled and said, "I still wish someone could accompany me to dinner, I am old, and I can't leave my homeland, my children are all in the United States, and I can't adapt to life over there." Cheng Yu is a very good child, I like him a lot. ”
"Yes, Cheng Yu is a good boy, and his father and I have always felt a little bad to him. Although it was actually for his good to let him study in the United States, after all, he was left alone abroad at such a young age. ”
"What's the matter with you looking for him in such a hurry?"
Ning Kezhu hesitated, not knowing whether to tell the old lady about these things.
The old lady saw that it was inconvenient for her to say, so she didn't ask any more.
Handing over the TV remote control, the old lady said, "Let's watch TV for a while...... Oh yes, haven't you had dinner? If you haven't, I've got some leftovers here, so you can take a bite if you don't like it. ”
Ning Kezhu just wanted to say that he had eaten, but his stomach was a little unassuming, and the old lady heard it, got up with a smile, and no longer asked Ning Kezhu's opinion, went to the kitchen to heat up the dishes, and brought them up.
Seeing that the old lady was already busy with her work, it was inconvenient to refuse, and she ate generously.
In the process of eating, Ning Kezhu thought clearly, she actually didn't know much about money laundering, and the old lady had been engaged in economics all her life, and her son was an investment bank in the United States, so maybe she knew more.
So, after Ning Kezhu finished eating, he said to the old lady: "I won't tell you that something happened to Cheng Yu, and I was too anxious." ”
"Just talk about it, maybe I can give you some advice. ”
Ning Kezhu told the old lady about Cheng Yu's stall, and after the old lady listened, she pondered silently.
"This matter is a bit strange, it stands to reason that investors really can't be responsible for every inflow of funds, but Cheng Yu's understanding of the economy is so profound, it's impossible not to know that money laundering is something that must be kept away from as much as possible. Since the other party obviously has a problem, and there are also doubts about the way the funds are remitted, how can he not see that this money is abnormal, with his being so smart? I also know your family's situation, and this kid probably won't take it into account with tens of millions of dollars in commissions, right? There is something strange ......about this matter?"
Ning Kezhu said anxiously: "But isn't it? I don't know why he is stunned, he is just messing around." His girlfriend persuaded him many times, but he just wouldn't listen. Even if he really didn't know that there was a problem with the money, he took the initiative to explain the situation to the police, at least he was prepared, and he was not implicated. ”
"Hehe, Xiao Ning, don't be too anxious, I think, there must be something here that you don't know.
I haven't known Cheng Yu for a long time, but I know that he is a very well-founded person, and it is unlikely that he will be confused in this kind of matter.
Moreover, as far as I know, since the police have now begun to keep an eye on the funds and even launched an investigation, as long as Cheng Yu did not finally cash out the money from the market and transferred it to the customer in some obviously unreasonable ways, then the police would not have enough evidence to prosecute him.
In fact, I think that Cheng Yu must know that there is a problem with this money, and maybe his current behavior is simply cooperating with the police. Wait, I'll turn on a computer and look up the recent investment trends of Great Futures. ”
Ning Kezhu nodded, the old lady went back to the house to get the computer, and began to inquire about the recent investment trends of Great Expectations on some internal channels.
When she found out that in the past few days, Great Expectations has invested a lot of money in the stock futures market, and even in the secondary market, she probably knew it.
It is impossible for any investment institution to be so irresponsible for the customer's funds, especially a large customer who gave 100 million US dollars as soon as he made a sale.
Normally, after Cheng Yu gets this money, he should be more cautious and cautious in investing, and it is best to be able to participate in the financing of some companies, and then use shares to settle the profits after the maturity of this fund.
This is also more in line with money laundering tactics, since shares are more difficult to find than cash to find sufficient evidence.
But Cheng Yu's approach is obviously to lay out these funds to the market as soon as possible, which is tantamount to giving the police an opportunity to trace the source of the funds, and there must be a problem here.
Covering the computer, Ning Kezhu asked anxiously, "How is it?"
"If nothing else, the $100 million should have all flowed into the market. The operation is very anxious, and it does not look like a money laundering method at all. It seems that they are deliberately giving the police enough clues so that they can trace the source of the funds...... Xiao Ning, it's no surprise, I think Cheng Yu is cooperating with the police's actions, and even from the beginning, he has been helping the police investigate this customer. ”
Ning Kezhu was stunned and said, "Is it? In that case, will Cheng Yu be in danger?"
"That's a problem, after all, money launderers aren't good people. However, I think that if Cheng Yu is really cooperating with the police as I expected, then he should have considered it more thoroughly, and it is impossible for the police not to protect his personal safety. Either you should be at ease and wait and see. If we get involved now, it will cause problems for the police. ”
"But if it weren't for what you said, wouldn't Xiao Yu be in big trouble?"
"It's not, if there is really trouble, the police will not act now, they should wait until Cheng Yu cashes out the funds and is ready to transfer them to that customer. Only then can Cheng Yu's sin be convicted. Act now, the evidence is insufficient. ”
