Chapter 104: Breaking Point

As an international metropolis, Hong Kong has many NGOs under various banners, ranging from international assistance, environmental protection, and humanitarian relief, to legal assistance, animal protection, and domestic violence. The total number of zeros and zeros does not add up to tens of thousands, but there are also thousands of them.

These NGOs are all supported by funders, and everyone knows who the funders are.

And being able to work in Central obviously shows that the back office of this organization is relatively hard. If the background is hard, it will be more troublesome to check, and at least when applying for a search warrant, there are more factors to consider.

In Central, a place where every inch of land is at a premium, in an exquisite office building, Ho Ka Fai and Ma Jun found the office of Friends of the Sea.

Surrounded by social animals in suits and leather shoes, his mouth was full of English, Ma Jun pouted with an unhappy face:

"I hate dealing with people who wear suits and speak English! Talking always in circles, you can't ask anything useful for half a day, you can't force him! ”

Ma Jun's interrogation method has always been that if you dare not say anything, I will do it, and if you don't agree with it, you will swing a small fist and blow the hammer, if the beating doesn't work, then the second hammer, as long as you don't beat people to death.

This trick is indeed very effective for those old boys and community members, facing the small fist of the police force's combat power ceiling, even if it is the boss of the community, he will be afraid of three points and give some useful clues.

Therefore, Ma Jun's high crime solving rate is not blown out, but hammered out with a real punch.

However, in the face of intellectuals, Ma Jun could not use his fists to interrogate. Without the blessing of force, Ma Jun's efficiency in solving cases has dropped significantly.

After the two explained their intentions, they were invited to the reception room by the front desk, and after a while, a middle-aged woman in professional clothes appeared in front of the two.

"The two officers, my name is Serena, are the heads here. I wonder what happened to the two officers? The woman introduced herself.

Although she is a Chinese, she reported her English name, and He Jiahui didn't care about it, and those who worked in high-end office buildings in Central were all of this virtue.

Ho Ka-fai opened his mouth and introduced: "Ms. Serena, my name is Ho Ka-fai, I am the Sergeant of the Regional Serious Crime Unit, and next to me is Senior Inspector Ma Sir of the Regional Serious Crime Unit. ”

"Cooperate, we will definitely cooperate, if the police officer has any questions, just ask, as long as I know, I will definitely tell you." Serena said immediately.

"Then it's troublesome." He Jiahui said and took out a voice recorder and put it on the table, and then asked, "Ms. Serena, do you know a person named Chen Zishuo?" ”

"Chen Zishuo, the name is a little familiar, who is it? I don't remember exactly. Serena looked like she was thinking hard.

He Jiahui reminded: "Chen Zishuo is the president of the student union of Chinese University. ”

"I remember, I did see him." Serena continued: "Our organization was established to protect the marine ecological environment, and now college students are also very interested in environmental protection, so we have cooperated with many university student unions.

We have also cooperated with Chinese University to hold several activities, and the person responsible for organizing students to participate in the activities at that time was their student union president, who is the Chen Zishuo in your mouth. Ah sir, when you mention Chen Zishuo, did something happen to him? ”

"It's inconvenient for me to disclose the facts of the case." He Jiahui paused, and then asked, "Then Fang Moxuan, vice president of the student union of Chinese University, do you know him?" ”

"I have a bit of an impression that when I held the event, there was such a person." Serena spoke.

"Lady Serena, it seems that you are not familiar with these two people?" He Jiahui asked again.

Serena smiled slightly: "It's just that I have business dealings, and I have met a few times when I participated in the event, of course I won't be very familiar with it." ”

He Jiahui nodded, and then asked, "We also found out that you have financial transactions with the student union of Chinese University."

On June 24, your institution remitted 100,000 yuan to the account of the Chinese University, can you explain the use of this money? ”

"This is our sponsorship fee to the student union." Serena replied immediately.

"What kind of sponsorship fee, can you tell me more about it?" Ho Ka Fai then asked.

"Our Friends of the Ocean was established to protect the marine ecological environment, as long as it is a like-minded organization with us and is willing to work with us to protect the marine ecological environment, you can come to us to apply for activity funding.

There are many student organizations in Hong Kong, which are very keen on the protection of the marine environment and are willing to participate in the protection of the marine environment. The student union of Chinese University is also one of them.

Since they are willing to contribute to the protection of the marine environment, we will also give them some sponsorship money so that they can carry out activities related to the protection of the marine environment. Serena replied.

"I see, that is, this money is equivalent to the funds for activities sponsored by your organization to the student union!" He Jiahui paused, and then asked: "I don't know how many events can be held with a sponsorship fee of 100,000 yuan?" ”

"The specific matters of holding the event are the responsibility of the student union, and we Friends of the Sea are not involved, so you have to ask the specific details of the event, and I have to ask the student union of Chinese University to reply to you." Serena replied.

He Jiahui nodded slightly, and then stood up: "Ms. Serena, thank you for your cooperation, we will leave first." We may come back to you if we need it in the future. ”

"There is no problem, we are happy to cooperate with the police." Serena said politely.

The two left the luxury office building, and He Jiahui asked directly: "Sir Ma, I have asked everything that should be asked, are there any new discoveries?" ”

"I don't think this one named Serena is telling the truth, she should be hiding something." Ma Jun said.

"Why would you think she's hiding something?" He Jiahui asked.

"Intuition!" Two words popped out of Ma Jun's mouth.

"Your intuition is accurate, but intuition is not the basis for investigation." He Jiahui smiled and shook his head.

"Tell me, then, what is the basis for your investigation?" Ma Jun asked.

He Jiahui did not answer, but took out a thousand-yuan bill from his pocket, handed it to Ma Jun, and continued: "Today I invite my brothers to afternoon tea." But I don't know what they like to drink, so I'll have to trouble you again. ”

"Afternoon tea costs a thousand yuan! After ordering afternoon tea, I'll find you the rest of the money. Ma Jun said.

"Ma Sir, I'll give you a thousand yuan to buy afternoon tea, and you have to find me the rest of the money. Friends of the Sea has paid 100,000 yuan in sponsorship fees, shouldn't they care about where these sponsorship funds are used and how they are spent? ”

He Jiahui continued: "But that Serena doesn't even know how many events can be held for these 100,000 yuan, and obviously doesn't care about the event. This is not the way a normal person should behave. ”

Ma Jun was slightly stunned, and then understood: "It's because of this reason that you think Selina is hiding something?" ”

He Jiahui nodded, and Ma Jun continued to ask, "Then why didn't you demolish her at that time?" ”

This kind of workplace elite, even if she is demolished on the spot, she can find other excuses to prevaricate in the past. So if you don't want to leave this flaw, it's not too late to come back to her when we collect more clues! He Jiahui said.

……

As soon as the two returned to the police station, Uncle Hua stepped forward to report the new discovery:

"I checked the flow account recorded by the student union with the income and expenditure form typed out by the bank, and found a problem, the remittance of 100,000 yuan on June 24 was not recorded in the student union's own flow account. After the money was withdrawn on June 25, there was no record in the student union's own accounts. ”

"In other words, the 100,000 yuan did not appear in the student union's own accounts." Ma Jun thought for a moment and spoke; "According to Friends of the Sea, the 100,000 yuan is for the activities of the student union, which should be the public funds of the student union, but this money in and out does not appear in the accounts, can it be said that it was swallowed privately?"

"There is a possibility that after the 100,000 yuan was taken, the two deceased people bought new mobile phones and new laptops respectively, and it is obvious that the 100,000 yuan was divided by them.

But what does it have to do with the two of them being killed? Could it be that someone can't get used to them embezzling public funds, so they kill them? Those who can enter Chinese University are elite boots, and they should not want to kill people for 100,000 yuan! ”

He Jiahui shook his head as he spoke, and then asked, "Uncle Hua, who recorded this account of the student union?" ”

"When I went to the Chinese University to investigate, I also asked about it, and it was said that there was a special officer of the student union, who was responsible for keeping the accounts of the student union, and that officer was also specialized in accounting." Uncle Hua said.

"Bring this officer back to assist in the investigation! He is the one in charge of keeping accounts, so he should know what the hell is going on with these 100,000 yuan! He Jiahui said.

The student union officer in charge of bookkeeping was brought to the serious crime team, his name is Liu Baorui, he is studying professional accounting, and it is precisely because he is studying accounting that the student union makes him responsible for keeping accounts.

Sitting in the interrogation room, facing the police directly, Liu Baorui looked very nervous, and he didn't know where to put his hands.

"Mr. Liu, don't be nervous, we invited you to come, there are a few things to ask you, you just need to answer truthfully." He Jiahui said.

"Did you come to me because of the death of the president and vice president?" Liu Baorui continued: "Sir, I don't know anything! ”

"Sir hasn't asked yet, you don't have to answer in a hurry." He Jiahui sneered, judging from Liu Baorui's panicked performance, this person knows something nine times out of ten.

So He Jiahui took out the running account and asked, "Mr. Liu, this account was recorded by you, right?" ”

"I remember." Liu Baorui nodded.

"Then you are also responsible for the financial work of the student union?" Ho Ka Fai then asked.

Liu Baorui nodded again: "I studied accounting, so I do all the work related to finance." ”

"It's like the student council's various expenses for holding events, and you also receive it from you, right? Can you elaborate on the process? He Jiahui asked again.

Liu Baorui lifted the glasses on his nose and continued: "Before we hold an event, we will make a budget in advance, and after the budget is approved by the president and vice president, I will go to the bank to withdraw the money, and then send it to the members who need to use the money. After the event is over, they will give me a breakdown of the expenses and return the money if there is any money left! ”

"What if you find out that you don't have enough money for a short time?" He Jiahui continued to ask.

"When we budget, we set aside an additional part of the emergency fund, and I keep the money. If I find that I don't have enough money at the moment, I need to report to the student council president and vice president, and they both agree to come to me to receive emergency funds. Liu Baorui then replied.

"In other words, the expenditure of your student union is decided by the president Chen Zishuo and the vice president Fang Moxuan? You should keep proof of spending there, right? He Jiahui asked.

Liu Baorui nodded: "Every expense must be kept with vouchers, otherwise the accounts will not be correct, I am studying accounting, this is the most basic accounting knowledge." ”

"Is there any corresponding voucher for the withdrawal of 100,000 yuan on June 25 this year?" He Jiahui asked directly.

Referring to the withdrawal of 100,000 yuan, Liu Baorui's face changed slightly, he lowered his head, as if he was thinking about how to answer, and as if he didn't know how to answer.

Ho Ka-fai continued; "We investigated the student union's bank account, and on June 24, a sum of 100,000 yuan was remitted, and on June 25, the money was withdrawn.

But there is no record of this money in the accounts of the student union, how do you explain this? Did you steal the money? ”

"Nope! I didn't swallow it privately! Liu Baorui hurriedly denied it: "The 100,000 yuan was asked to be taken out by President Chen Zishuo and Vice President Fang Moxuan." ”

"What is the purpose of the withdrawal?" He Jiahui immediately asked.

"I don't know." Liu Baorui shook his head.

"Don't know? Mr. Liu, you are studying accounting, don't you think this answer is insulting your major? He Jiahui sneered.

Liu Baorui hesitated for a few seconds, and finally spoke; "At that time, I also asked what I was going to do with withdrawing so much money at once, whether I was going to hold a big event.

But President Chen Zishuo told me that I don't care what the money is for, just take it out. And he also gave me five thousand dollars, so that I should not talk about it. But I haven't touched a cent of the 5,000 yuan! ”

"It seems that you also know that this money is coming from the wrong place!" He Jiahui paused, and then asked, "Then who can prove that what you said is true?" ”

"Student President Chen Zishuo and Vice President Fang Moxuan can prove that I personally handed over 100,000 yuan to them at that time." Liu Baorui said.

"But both of them are dead. The dead can't prove it, you gave them 100,000 yuan! And the dead people also can't prove that they let you take the 100,000 yuan. ”

He Jiahui said, his expression became serious, and he asked sharply: "Mr. Liu, do you think that by pushing everything to two dead people, you can cover up the fact that you embezzled 100,000 yuan of public funds from the student union?" ”

"I really didn't embezzle the 100,000 yuan!" Liu Baorui said with a look of wrongedness.

"Or is that the evidence?" He Jiahui continued to pressurize: "You took the money, but you didn't keep the account, it is obvious that you embezzled this public money!" ”

"No, these 100,000 yuan are actually not public funds, but the reward given to us by Friends of the Sea!"

Under pressure, Liu Baorui finally revealed new clues.

"Remuneration? Mr. Liu, it seems that you know something inside! He Jiahui paused, and then said: "I suggest that you confess what you know to the police as soon as possible, otherwise, you will really become a criminal of embezzlement!" ”

"I say!" Liu Baorui sighed helplessly, and continued; "Actually, I don't know much, I just know that Chen Zishuo, the student president, and Fang Moxuan, the vice president, used the student union to take private jobs from Friends of the Sea. This 100,000 yuan should be the payment paid to us by Friend of the Sea,"

"What kind of private work exactly?" He Jiahui immediately asked.

"I really don't know." Liu Baorui shook his head, and then said: "In fact, many activities of our student union are not spontaneous by students, but sponsored by these NGOs.

These NGOs want to achieve certain goals, but if they come forward directly, it is too conspicuous, and then they will go to the university's student union for help, and they will pay for it, and the student union will be responsible for organizing the activities.

The voice of college students is relatively large, and it is easier to attract the attention of the media and society, and the effect of organizing activities by student unions is much better than that organized by NGOs.

However, it is also very hard for the student council to organize activities, so in some cases, those NGOs will give some gifts to the organizers of the event as a thank you.

Gifts range from physical items to shopping vouchers, and occasionally money is given directly as a reward for the event organizers. This 100,000 yuan should be the reward given to us by Friends of the Sea. ”

"The remuneration of 100,000 yuan is equivalent to three or four months' salary of ordinary people! What is the activity that deserves so much pay? Ho Ka-fai apparently didn't believe it.

Liu Baorui then explained: "This 100,000 yuan should be the remuneration for our entire student union. There are so many people in our student union, and on average, each person can get more than 1,000 yuan.

But this time, Chen Zishuo and Fang Moxuan should have wanted to monopolize the money, so they gave me a hush money of 5,000 yuan. I guess this time they took on private work, maybe they didn't see the light, so they didn't share the remuneration with everyone. ”

He Jiahui and Ma Jun glanced at each other, Ma Jun leaned into He Jiahui's ear and asked in a low voice, "Shameless private work?" Could this be the reason why the two of them were killed? ”

"It depends on what kind of private work they take this time." He Jiahui paused, and then said: "Tomorrow I will go to the Friends of the Ocean again, find that Serena and ask, when the time comes, we will pretend to be red and black, and put the words out!" ”
