"Hong Xi, why are you getting poorer and poorer! Have you found out what I asked you to investigate?"
Seeing that Mu Yan was so embarrassed, Han Cheng changed the topic.
When they were in Danbang, Han Cheng asked Hong Xi and Mu Yan to check on Feng Linhai of Linhai Culture Company after returning to Long Kingdom.
Han Cheng felt that this person was the person who directly traded cultural relics with Zhao Feng. Even if he was not the murderer of the ancient tomb murder, he should be inextricably related to the murderer.
However, they did not expect that after listening to Han Cheng's words, Hong Xi and Mu Yan's expressions suddenly became solemn.
Seeing the expressions of the two people, Han Cheng immediately decided that something must have happened.
"Han Cheng, Feng Linhai is dead!" Mu Yan said in a heavy tone after a moment of silence.
A look of shock flashed across Han Cheng's face.
Feng Linhai was a key figure that the three of them risked their lives to dig out in Mianbei Kingdom.
As long as they dig deeper along Feng Linhai's line, the real murderer will inevitably surface.
However, I didn't expect that at this critical moment, Feng Linhai would die!
What a coincidence!
"How did Feng Linhai die?" Han Cheng frowned.
"Jump off the building and commit suicide!" Muyan replied.
"Has he been ruled out as a murderer?"
"It has been ruled out. Feng Linhai jumped from the 30th floor of their company. There are surveillance cameras and witnesses!"
Han Cheng was silent for a moment and said, "Feng Linhai's death is abnormal. Even if he committed suicide, he might have been forced to commit suicide! We need to dig deeper into this company and find out how Feng Linhai smuggled the cultural relics out!" "
Muyan nodded.
While Muyan led the investigation team to investigate Linhai Culture Company, Han Cheng and Hong Xi continued to follow up on Deng Qian's line.
Previously, Chen Wen led people to investigate Deng Qian's social relationships and learned that Deng Qian was born in an ordinary family. Her parents were both farmers and were not rich people at all.
After graduating from junior high school, Deng Qian went out into the society, often hanging out in bars and other entertainment venues, and even worked as a waitress.
Because of her pure and beautiful appearance, she is favored by many men.
However, according to Deng Qian's sisters at the time, after Deng Qian fell in love with a man, she stopped working as a bartender and rarely went to entertainment venues.
They only knew that the man who supported Deng Qian seemed to be rich and often gave Deng Qian lots of money to spend.
But as for who the man was, what he looked like and what he did, they had no idea.
Han Cheng felt that the man who supported Deng Qian was most likely the person who killed Deng Qian.
Eighteen years ago, this man earned a lot of money by robbing tombs and was already a rich man. But today, eighteen years later, he is still engaged in the business of reselling cultural relics. He must be a very rich man now, with assets of at least More than ten million.
From the detail that the murderer entered the ancient tomb many times to transfer the burial objects, Han Cheng deduced that the murderer was most likely from Liushi or Xingshi.
Liushi and Xingshi are adjacent, and Linhai Culture Company is located in Xingshi, so it is convenient for them to transfer cultural relics.
Han Cheng decided to check the rich people in Liushi and Xingshi with assets exceeding tens of millions.
Perhaps the real murderer is hidden among these people.
Han Cheng asked the relevant departments to make statistics and learned that there were about 20,000 people in Liushi and Xingshi with a net worth of over 10 million.
This is a huge amount of data. Even if the murderer is hidden among these 20,000 people, it will be difficult to find him.
However, Han Cheng did not intend to investigate the 20,000 people one by one. He thought that since the murderer cooperated with Feng Linhai to smuggle cultural relics.
Maybe the murderer's company will also cooperate with Linhai Culture Company.
So Han Cheng changed his mind and screened out companies whose registered places were in Liushi or Xingshi and whose net assets exceeded RMB 10 million from all the companies that had cooperated with Linhai Culture Company.
Soon, Han Cheng screened out 20 companies that met the conditions.
the other side.
After conducting a detailed investigation into Linhai Company's business operations, Muyan and the others finally found out how Linhai Company smuggled cultural relics out of the country.
Linhai Company has many businesses, one of which is selling domestic imitations of art abroad.
And they secretly transported the cultural relics out of the country by mixing them with imitations.
Han Cheng discovered that before Linhai Culture Company shipped a batch of stolen cultural relics, Linhai Culture Company would purchase a batch of high-imitation imitations of stolen cultural relics from a company called Liuyuan Crafts.
And this company called Liuyuan Crafts was on the list of 20 suspicious companies selected by Han Cheng.
So Han Cheng and the others shifted the focus of their investigation to Liuyuan Craftsmanship and conducted a detailed investigation of this company.
Through investigation, Han Cheng and the others discovered that Liuyuan Craftsmanship was advertised as a manufacturer of art, but their business was very single. They only had business dealings with Linhai Company, and the prices of the imitations they sold to Linhai Company were obviously high. Based on the market price, there is suspicion of money laundering.
Liuyuan Crafts has a factory that specializes in producing handicrafts, but the factory has its doors closed all year round and never receives outsiders.
Han Cheng and the others investigated Wang Zhen, the legal person of Liuyuan Crafts.
It was discovered that Wang Zhen was just an illiterate farmer and was not the actual controller of Liuyuan's craftsmanship at all.
In order not to disturb the traders behind the scenes, Han Cheng and others quietly arrested Wang Zhen and conducted a surprise interrogation.
"Officer, have I broken any laws?"
The arrested Wang Zhen didn't seem to know what crime he had committed. He looked at Han Cheng and Mu Yan in front of him and asked with some confusion.
"Your Liuyuan Craft Company is suspected of selling national cultural relics!"
Mu Yan looked serious.
"Wha...what national cultural relic?"
When Wang Zhen heard this, his face turned pale with fright.
Although he is illiterate, he has heard that selling national cultural relics is a serious crime!
"Who asked you to be the legal person of Liuyuan Craftsmanship?" Han Cheng asked.
"One of my distant relatives from out of town is called Diao Peng. He said that he wanted to open a company that produces art in Liushi. As a foreigner, it was a bit troublesome to go through many procedures, so he was asked to be the legal person of the enterprise. Every month And pay me a salary.”
"I thought I could help my relatives and get money at the same time, so I agreed without thinking too much."
"However, I have never been to their company. That is, I only went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau with Diao Peng when I was required to be present when the company registration review materials were reviewed. I did not participate in anything else, let alone what kind of sales they were doing. The business of cultural relics!”
Wang Zhen looked regretful.
Han Cheng judged through elementary lie detection skills that Wang Zhen did not lie, and he should indeed be just being used.
"You are really illiterate in the law. Do you know that even if you are not involved in the company's operations, you, as the company's legal person, cannot escape the involvement!"
Mu Yan angrily scolded Wang Zhen in a harsh tone.
