"A rich person is a rich person. I never thought of convicting Xu Zhiyao. However, Xu Zhiyao was powerful enough. He made away with more than 2 billion Hong Kong dollars without a word, even cheating his boss."
The opposition between Yuan Zhuguo and Yuan Yuan was clearly heard by the eavesdropping team.
Coincidentally, the group responsible for eavesdropping was still the same group as last time.
Even the team leader, Sister Li, looked envious when she heard that more than 2 billion Hong Kong dollars had been taken away by Xu Zhiyao. She thought that it would be great if she could give herself this money. Not more, just 100 million, and everyone would have food and drink for the rest of their lives. .
"Small wealth relies on frugality, middle wealth relies on hard work, and big wealth relies on luck. If you don't have that destiny, don't think about dying well, just like Xu Zhiyao. Even though he took away more than 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, there is no telling whether the money can be returned to him."
Ada shook her head and said, "Didn't you see that Yuan Zhuguo asked his son to be a tainted witness? With the identity of the Yuan family, if he comes forward, Xu Zhiyao will be caught even if he is hiding in Sydney."
"I don't think Yuan Yuan will come forward as a tainted witness. It's more than 2 billion Hong Kong dollars. If he comes forward, it will be all over. It's better to have people go to Australia to find Xu Zhiyao, maybe they can recover the losses."
Xiaoli shook her head and disagreed with Ada's judgment. In her eyes, rich people regard money as their life and never let go of any opportunity to make money. Otherwise, how could they become billionaires and rich families?
If it were several million, they might give up, after all, even dating a female star once is not enough.
But with more than 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, Xiaoli didn't believe that the Yuan family would give up.
Because even if you fail, you won't be sentenced to death. The most you can do is pay someone to kill someone. If someone is convicted, he will be jailed for a few years.
"Okay, don't talk about it anymore. We should report to Superintendent Yazi that the money from the era was transferred away by Xu Zhiyao, and Yuan Yuan is preparing to send someone to kidnap him."
Sister Li waved her hand to indicate no more discussion, picked up the phone and reported the situation directly to Yazi.
——
"Hello, this is the HSBC Credit Card Center. Are you Mr. Chen Jingci?" Chen Jingci was checking information at the ICAC headquarters when his cell phone suddenly rang. After the call was answered, it was the Credit Card Center.
"Yes!" Chen Jingci replied.
"You signed a list of AUD 10,780 in Australia for a supplementary card, which is equivalent to HKD 62,896. I hope you can confirm it."
The credit card center told Chen Jingci that his card had a relatively large amount of consumption in Australia, more than 60,000 Hong Kong dollars. In order to prevent the credit card from being stolen, he had to confirm with it.
"Wait a minute, I'll get back to you in ten minutes." Chen Jingci knew as soon as he heard that it was his wife Jiang Xueer who spent money in Australia. Didn't she travel with public funds? How could she become a shopping trip?
Tens of thousands of yuan was spent without blinking an eye. This was more than a month's salary. After spending the money, what would I eat in the future?
After hanging up the phone, Chen Jingci immediately called Jiang Xueer.
"Husband, why do you have time to call me at this hour?" Jiang Xueer was in a very happy mood after spending like crazy just now, and even her husband became friendly.
"The credit card center just called me and told me that I had a purchase of AUD 10,780 in Australia. You happen to be in Australia as well. I wanted to ask if you know about this purchase."
As soon as he heard Jiang Xueer's friendly voice, Chen Jingci knew that there was no mistake. His wife spent the money, so he immediately asked, "What did you pay for? How come you have so much money, tens of thousands?"
"You asked me to think about what else to do, so I went shopping." Jiang Xueer replied with a smile on her face, "When we got married, you didn't even say you would take me to Australia for fun. , I just took this opportunity to have some fun."
"Sister, you are here for a wedding, not a trip. If the higher-ups find out and you take the opportunity to go shopping, stop talking about you. Even I will be scolded."
Chen Jingci said righteously.
"If you don't tell me, no one will know that I'm traveling in Australia." Jiang Xueer laughed and said, "You know, my hotel has been extended for another two days, and I must have a good time this time."
"Okay, you go ahead and play. You don't even have to work anymore when you play." When he heard that Jiang Xueer would stay in Australia for two more days, Chen Jingci became angry and shouted into his mobile phone.
"I'm going to cancel the card now. Cancel mine first. If you're not afraid of not having enough money to fly back, take the evening flight to Xiangjiang."
"How's it going? What did you find?" After saying that, the angry Chen Jingci hung up the phone without waiting for Jiang Xueer's answer, pushed the door open and walked into the monitoring room, watching Wenzi keep marking on the monitor with a red pen. , Chen Jingci asked eagerly, knowing that he had found the clue.
"In all the scenes where Xu Zhiyao was found, the two people can be seen less than 20 meters behind him. If it is normal once or twice, they were both on the same flight to Australia.
But in all the scenes in the airport lobby, including this one, when Xu Zhiyao goes to the toilet, the two people also have problems. "Wenzi pointed at his mark on the monitor screen and said confidently.
"Check the relationship between these two people and Xu Zhiyao. I suspect that Xu Zhiyao's going to Australia has something to do with them." Chen Jingci pointed at the screen and ordered.
"The identities of these two have been found. They are Ye Yongqiang and Du Zhiming. It is not clear what their relationship is with Xu Zhiyao. We only know that they went to Australia with Xu Zhiyao and took the same flight."
Wen Tsai is still very capable. When he discovered that there was a problem with Ye Yongqiang and Du Zhiming, he asked his colleagues to consult the airport about their situation, and quickly found out their whereabouts.
"We went to Australia together, Australia." Chen Jingci nodded, picked up the phone and dialed his wife Jiang Xueer's number.
"Let the phone fly for a while."
Jiang Xueer returned to the hotel carrying large bags and small bags. When she was about to enter the room, the phone rang.
I took out my cell phone and saw that it was a call from my husband, Chen Jingci.
Thinking about how Chen Jingci threatened to cancel his credit card just because of his reckless spending, he made himself very angry.
No need to ask, this call must be to apologize.
I have been married to Chen Jingci for so many years, and I am very familiar with him. If I ask him to wait, it will not be easy to get rid of my anger. At least he will have to make a few more phone calls.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xueer entered the room.
After looking at what she had gained from shopping all afternoon, Jiang Xueer, who felt a little tired, lay down on the bed, thinking about how to teach Chen Jingci a lesson, not only to make him apologize to her, but also to make her go shopping again, at least It will cost 100,000 Hong Kong dollars.
"Why don't you answer the phone?"
After being hung up on three times in a row, Chen Jingci became a little anxious.
I knew that Jiang Xueer was angry because of the credit card issue, but now she was the only ICAC in Australia, so Chen Jingci had no choice but to call again and again for work.
There is really no other way, so I resort to sending text messages.
"Ye Yongqiang and Du Zhiming!" Jiang Xueer jumped out of bed when she saw the message from her husband.
Even if you are angry, there is still work to be done.
Jiang Xueer flew to her desk to start her computer, opened her mailbox, and soon saw the photos of Ye Yongqiang and Du Zhiming sent by her husband.
"Have you ever seen these two people? They followed Xu Zhiyao to Australia?" Looking at the photos sent by her husband, Jiang Xueer remembered that she and Xu Zhiyao were chatting at the beach this morning.
When Xu Zhiyao left, two people followed him.
I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, because there were so many people coming and going on the street, and there were too many people walking in the same direction.
But recalling that the two people behind Xu Zhiyao were the same as the photos sent by her husband, no need to ask, they must be Ye Yongqiang and Du Zhiming. Like Xu Zhiyao, they have problems that they don't know about.
"I've seen it!" Jiang Xueer, knowing that the situation was serious, took the initiative to call her husband Chen Jingci and said that she had seen these two people.
"When I saw them, was Xu Zhiyao nearby?" After hearing Jiang Xueer say that she had met Ye Yongqiang and Du Zhiming, Chen Jingci immediately contacted Xu Zhiyao and got back together.
"Yes!" Jiang Xueer stood up and came to the window, looking at the night view of Sydney and said, "I saw them following Xu Zhiyao not far away. I didn't think there was any problem at the time. Now that you tell me, I think not simple."
"Ye Yongqiang and Du Zhiming, I am still checking the information of these two people. I don't know what their relationship is with Xu Zhiyao, but it is very suspicious. There must be some secrets that we don't know about. Don't come back while you are away and continue to follow Xu Zhiyao.
This guy has his own property in Sydney. You can check to see if he is there. "
Because of their childhood relationship with Xu Zhiyao, Chen Jingci knew many of Xu Zhiyao's secrets, so she asked Jiang Xueer to go to his home to find him.
Jiang Xueer, who knew Xu Zhiyao's address, did not hesitate and rushed to Xu Zhiyao's home overnight.
"It's such a big house. Are accountants so rich?" Looking at the big villa where Xu Zhiyao lived, Jiang Xueer couldn't help but complain.
In the 1960s and 1970s, one of the reasons why corruption was rampant in the police force was that police salaries at that time were too low. If the salary was close to the salary, it would not be enough to support the family, forcing everyone to find ways to embezzle to supplement their family income.
The same was true for civil servants at that time. Their basic salary was lower than that of clerks in society.
In order to reverse this situation, when the Independent Commission Against Corruption was established, it adopted a high-pay model to support integrity, with its basic salary reaching six to seven thousand a month.
That was in 1974, and the house price was still 500 yuan per square meter, ten times that of the police.
Of course, with the collapse of the money empire, the Hong Kong government has also adopted a model of high salary and integrity for the police. It has greatly increased the salary of police officers, so that the salary of the lowest police officers is much higher than the average level in society, allowing the police to become human beings. A career that everyone envies.
But even so, ordinary ICAC investigators are much more senior than ordinary police officers.
Jiang Xueer and Chen Jingci are both senior officials of the Independent Commission Against Corruption. Their monthly income is close to 100,000.
But even with such a high income, the house the two of them live in Xiangjiang is just an ordinary townhouse, which is far worse than the large villa Xu Zhiyao lives in.
"Someone!"
After finishing complaining, Jiang Xueer walked into Xu Zhiyao's villa to see what Xu Zhiyao would do again, but as soon as she got close, she heard someone arguing inside.
Jiang Xueer quickly slowed down and walked over quietly.
"It's Ye Yongqiang and Du Zhiming. They are indeed related to Xu Zhiyao." Through the lights in the villa, Jiang Xueer could clearly see the two people arguing with Xu Zhiyao.
It was Ye Yongqiang and Du Zhiming. They were exactly the same as the photos Chen Jingci sent to him. He couldn't use them wrongly.
Because there are three people in the room who are still grown men, and I am not only alone but also a woman.
Jiang Xueer, who knew she was not in the upper hand, hid herself in a corner of the villa and waited for Ye Yongqiang and Du Zhiming to leave before stepping forward to seize Xu Zhiyao for interrogation.
"Don't forget what you said."
After arguing with Xu Zhiyao, Ye Yongqiang and Du Zhiming left Xu Zhiyao's house and left in a car.
After waving the two of them off, Xu Zhiyao returned to the house and prepared to light the windows and turn off the lights to go to sleep. However, when he closed the windows, he saw through the light from the windows...
"You make a horror movie, don't you know that it can scare people to death, especially since I have a bad heart." Xu Zhiyao complained as he looked at Jiang Xueer who came in and covered his heart with his right hand.
"Who were those two people just now? I think you seem to be familiar with each other. When they left, you went out to see them off and waved goodbye." Jiang Xueer approached Xu Zhiyao step by step, with a very serious expression on her face, as if she was interrogating a prisoner. Same.
"Ordinary friend!" Xu Zhiyao breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed and prepared to get medicine. His heart disease was getting worse and he had to prepare special medicine at any time.
"Ordinary friend, who are you trying to fool?" Jiang Xueer stepped forward to grab Xu Zhiyao, pressed him on the table, and said loudly,
"They are Ye Yongqiang and Du Zhiming. They followed you from Xiangjiang. Were you threatened and ran away from Xiangjiang, or did you take the money and escape."
"Sir, Chief Jiang, let go, my hand is about to break." Because of his bad heart, Xu Zhiyao's physical strength was worse than that of ordinary people. He was pinned to the table by Jiang Xueer and had no strength to resist, so he could only beg for mercy. :
"You are threatening me now. I am going to die. Medicine, get me medicine quickly."
"medicine!"
Seeing that Xu Zhiyao didn't look like he was cheating, and thinking about the fact that she saw Xu Zhiyao in the hospital yesterday, Jiang Xueer quickly let go. She didn't want to send Xu Zhiyao to see God because of her recklessness, which would be troublesome.
In Xiangjiang, the crime of violent interrogation is very serious, especially for civil servants. If you cause Xu Zhiyao's death, you will not be able to escape the punishment of expulsion even if your husband is your leader.
"Thank you, I have a heart problem and I can't do distance activities or be stimulated." Xu Zhiyao said weakly after taking medicine and resting on the sofa.
"What is your relationship with Ye Yongqiang and Du Zhiming?" Jiang Xueer asked.
"They are my friends, very good friends. Knowing that I was in trouble, they came to Australia from Hong Kong to protect my safety." Xu Zhiyao replied.
"We can protect your safety without their protection, as long as you follow me in Xiangjiang." Jiang Xueer said, "Compared to individuals, our Independent Commission Against Corruption is much stronger."
"It's not that simple. Besides, I have an Australian passport. Is there any problem in staying in Australia?" Xu Zhiyao shook his head and smiled.
