After interrogating Wang Zhen, Han Cheng and others quickly and secretly arrested Diao Peng.
After interrogating Diao Peng, Diao Peng quickly confessed that he was not actually the person behind Liuyuan Crafts Company, he was just a middleman.
The boss behind the scenes is a man named Jiang Shao.
Han Cheng and others subsequently investigated Jiang Shao.
Through investigation, we learned that Jiang Shao, 33 years old, is a graduate of a major university in Longguo majoring in archeology.
After graduating from college, he worked at the Cultural Relics Bureau for several years, and later resigned to start his own business. He founded Shaobao Investment Company, mainly engaged in private equity investment.
Shaobao Company seems to be losing money every year, but Jiang Shao's assets are increasing year by year. He has purchased a lot of real estate in Longguo and overseas.
His net worth is at least several hundred million.
These signs are abnormal!
Han Cheng quickly thought that Jiang Shao should have used Shaobao Company to launder the money gained from reselling cultural relics.
In order to let everyone understand clearly the whole process of Jiang Shao reselling cultural relics and laundering money.
Han Cheng explained it in detail to everyone at the case analysis meeting.
"Jiang Shao first produced a batch of imitations of stolen cultural relics through Liuyuan Craft Company, and then sold the imitations together with the cultural relics to Linhai Culture Company."
"After Linhai Culture Company received the goods, they paid a high price to Liuyuan Craftsmanship. In fact, the imitations were not valuable at all. What they paid was money to buy cultural relics."
"When the payment from Linhai Company was transferred to the account of Liuyuan Craft Company, Jiang Shao transferred the money in the account to Shaobao Investment Company he founded in the name of investment."
"And after the money arrived in Shaobao's company's account, he was naturally allowed to control it and launder the money."
After Han Cheng finished speaking, everyone was impressed by Han Cheng's careful analysis.
"Jiang Shao majored in archeology in college. He knows ancient tombs and should also know the art of tomb robbing. I think he is the murderer without a doubt!" Mu Yan said excitedly.
Others also followed suit.
"No, no, no! He is not a murderer!" Han Cheng shook his head, "Although Jiang Shao does meet many of the characteristics of a murderer, there is one thing he does not meet."
"Which point?" Mu Yan opened his eyes wide.
"age!"
"Jiang Shao is 33 years old now. He was only 15 years old 18 years ago. Do you think a 15-year-old guy can have the intelligence to commit such a murder?"
Everyone nodded after hearing this, feeling that what Han Cheng said made sense.
"And based on the existing evidence, I speculate that eighteen years ago, the murderer's age should be almost the same as Jiang Shao's now, and he should be in his thirties!"
"So, the murderer's current age should be around fifty?" Muyan said.
Han Cheng nodded.
"Then who will be the murderer?"
"It must be someone who has close contact with Jiang Shao!" Han Cheng touched his chin with a determined look.
Seeing Han Cheng's appearance, everyone knew that Han Cheng should be sure to find the murderer soon.
In order not to alarm Jiang Shao, Han Cheng let Wang Zhen and Diao Peng go, and then told them to pretend that nothing happened and not let Jiang Shao know that they had been approached by the police.
During the interrogation, the two of them were already frightened. How dare they disobey.
Then, Han Cheng and the others began to conduct a detailed investigation into Jiang Shao's social relationships.
After this investigation, one of them came into Han Cheng's sight.
This person is Jiang Shao's father-in-law, Cheng Lai, the deputy director of the Liushi Cultural Relics Bureau.
He fits Han Chengci's various inferences about the murderer.
Age, over fifty.
Learn about ancient tombs.
Calm and sophisticated!
........
Han Cheng had met Cheng Lai before. Last time, Cheng Lai came with a condolence group to express condolences to the investigation team, and he also awarded Han Cheng an honorary certificate of 'Advanced Individual in Cultural Relics Protection'.
At that time, when Cheng Lai presented the certificate of honor to Han Cheng, Han Cheng felt that Cheng Lai's smile was fake.
But at that time, he just thought that Cheng Lai was a professional habit and was used to fake smiles, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
If Zha Jiangshao hadn't involved Cheng Lai.
Han Cheng would never have thought that the cultural relic theft and the murder in the ancient tomb were related to Cheng Lai.
However, now Han Cheng only has suspicions, and there is no evidence to prove that Cheng Lai is related to the tomb robbery and murder cases.
To find evidence that Cheng Lai is the murderer, he needs to thoroughly investigate Cheng Lai's past.
In order to ensure that they were suspicious of Cheng Lai, the old fox Cheng Lai would not smell the danger.
The investigation team did not report their investigation to any department.
Instead, he quietly investigated Cheng Lai in private.
Han Cheng led the investigation team, pretending to be TV station staff, and carried a camera to Cheng Lai's hometown, Chengcun, Sang County, Liushi.
Han Cheng summoned Cheng Lai's relatives together and lied that he wanted to make a documentary for Cheng Lai and asked them to tell all the good and bad things that had happened to Cheng Lai over the years.
Cheng Lai's relatives believed it and told them everything they knew.
"Cheng Lai, this kid, was very naughty when he was a child. I thought he would not be successful when he grew up. I didn't expect that when this kid grew up, it was as if he had changed his gender. Not only did he get good grades, he also worked in the Cultural Relics Bureau and was a clerk since he was a child. Step by step, I climbed to the position of deputy director!"
"Cheng Lai is a good kid. He donates money to our village every year, whether it's building roads or bridges. If any family has difficulty borrowing money from him, he never refuses! He's a good kid who supports everyone! "
"Cheng Lai is the first college student to graduate from our village..."
...
"How many lovers did Director Cheng have when he was young?" Han Cheng asked.
Cheng Lai's relatives, you look at me, I look at you, no one says anything.
Finally, Cheng Lai's second aunt asked Han Cheng, "Can you tell the truth about this?"
"Of course you can. Not only can you tell the truth, but you must tell the truth. We have obtained Director Cheng's permission before coming here. He said that he has no taboos. Just let you tell the truth!" Han Cheng said with a smile.
"In that case, I'll say it!" Cheng Lai's second aunt continued, "When Cheng Lai was young, he had a date with a girl from the village next to us!"
"Later, Cheng Lai graduated from university and went to work at the Hong County Cultural Relics Bureau, and the girl followed him to Hong County. I heard that the two of them lived together for a while!"
Cheng Lai's second aunt felt a little dry when she spoke and paused.
"What happened next? How did they do?" Han Cheng duly handed Cheng Lai's second aunt a bottle of mineral water.
Cheng Lai's second aunt took the mineral water and drank a few sips to moisten her throat: "Then they split up!"
"How to divide it?"
"I heard that the girl had an affair with a wild man from another province, and later ran away with the wild man! The girl never came back after that!"
"I've seen that girl before, and she doesn't look like a frivolous woman!" Cheng Lai's second uncle interjected.
"You old man, what do you know? It's so strange that the girl went to the city and learned bad things!" Cheng Lai's second aunt rolled her eyes at Cheng Lai's second uncle and said.
