It is said that because Frank Bourassa is so good at making counterfeit banknotes, the FBI sometimes invites Frank Bourassa to participate in the identification of counterfeit banknotes.
Let Frank Bourassa, the king of counterfeit money, stage a counterattack legend!
In the real world, Frank Bourassa cannot make counterfeit money that can escape the banking system. In the movie, it is simply impossible for the painter gang or the Ricky Don gang to make super counterfeit money.
But if the two gangs join forces, it is really possible.
Because Ricky Tang has a gravure printing machine that has been circulated from the Ministry of Finance. This thing is not the cheap stuff on the market. It is a gravure printing machine that can really print out exactly the same counterfeit banknotes, or it is called a banknote printing machine. more suitable.
Coupled with the painter gang's experience in researching counterfeit banknotes for several years or even more than ten years, the cooperation between the two companies will definitely bring about a response that is greater than two.
"I have heard of the painter. He is the leader of a counterfeit banknote gang. He is very mysterious and his true identity has never been revealed. However, his level of making counterfeit banknotes is very high.
When I first returned to Hong Kong ten years ago, I discovered several counterfeit banknotes and it was said that the painted plates were provided by the artist. Lei Weidong tapped his index finger on the desk and said,
"I heard from experts that those fake banknotes are very delicate and almost exactly the same as the genuine ones. They can be fake, but the printing press and paper and other materials are not good enough, otherwise the counterfeit banknotes printed will not be just A-grade banknotes."
"It is true that the painter gang has a high level of counterfeit banknotes, and we at the FBI have been keeping an eye on them for a long time, but the painters are very careful in what they do, and they only have one-way contact.
In recent years, only a few peripheral members have been arrested, but the core members have never been arrested. "Stilun nodded and agreed with Lei Weidong's judgment.
"With the money printing press and the printing plates, all that's missing is banknote paper and ink. How did they get these two things? Don't tell me that they bought them from a paper mill. That would insult my intelligence.
Only one paper mill can produce U.S. dollar banknotes, and those produced by other mills must be different. "Lei Weidong asked.
"Of course I didn't buy it. You can't buy genuine U.S. dollar banknote paper," said Stilun. "Six months ago, an accident occurred when the paper mill that produced U.S. dollar banknote paper was transporting paper to the printing plant.
Dozens of tons of banknote paper were all reduced to ashes.
According to the accident investigation, because the car was driving for a long time, friction caused cremation and ignited the cargo. A fire broke out, causing the entire vehicle and cargo to be burned. Only the driver survived.
Because the ash found at the scene was determined to be traces of burnt acid-free paper, the printing factory treated it as an ordinary accident.
But after discovering the super counterfeit banknotes, the bank was puzzled. The paper was exactly the same as the real banknotes, and the paper factory had never been stolen.
So the FBI re-investigated the accident.
It was found that half a month before the accident, dozens of tons of acid-free paper entered customs from Europe. It was purchased by an educational institution and said to be used to print educational magazines. However, when I went to investigate at this educational institution, I found that the building was empty. . "
"The civet cat replaced the prince with acid-free paper that was more than 90% similar, thus obtaining special paper for US banknotes and solving the biggest problem of printing counterfeit banknotes." Lei Weidong laughed.
"Now there is only this explanation. The most troublesome thing is that these U.S. dollar bills all have anti-counterfeiting marks on them. With a special gravure printing machine for U.S. dollar bills and a top-grade withered plate, there is really no difference between the printed U.S. dollar bills and real ones. Or you could say it’s real money.”
Stilun said helplessly:
"It's really exactly the same as real banknotes. Can't you tell the difference? Isn't there still ink? Did they get the ink for printing US banknotes?" Chen Jiaju, who was listening to the interest on the sidelines, couldn't help but interjected and asked.
"Counterfeiting experts have been studying the super counterfeit bills for several days and found that the only way to distinguish them is to light them because Ricky Tang and others failed to obtain the ink used in U.S. dollar bills.
It was replaced with ink from India. "Stilun shook his head and said:
"Super counterfeit bills emit red flames after being ignited, while real U.S. bills should emit blue flames when ignited."
"There is no way to distinguish this, so we can't burn all the money.
"Lei Weidong shrugged and joked, "If you use this method to identify.
There will be people who take money to the bank to deposit. Because they don't know whether the banknotes are real or fake, the staff use lighters to light all the banknotes.
If it's a red flame, it's counterfeit money, if it's a blue flame, it's embarrassing.
The staff will tell the depositor with great regret, "Congratulations, the banknotes in your hand are real, but they have all been burned!"
In that case, banks around the world will go crazy, and the impact on the credit of the US dollar can be said to be unprecedented. "
"We are also worried about this situation. Now the bank is putting pressure on the FBI, which is very serious about super counterfeit banknotes." Styron said honestly.
"How many counterfeit banknotes are there estimated to be in this batch?" Lei Weidong asked.
"If all the lost banknote paper were printed with hundred-dollar bills, it could print 60 to 7 billion US dollars." Styron said.
"Seven billion U.S. dollars, this amount is not even a fraction of the U.S. dollar stock. Even if it all flows into the market, it will not cause the U.S. dollar to collapse, but it is absolutely an astronomical figure for an individual or organization."
Lei Weidong curled his lips, feeling a little moved.
"Super counterfeit money is not the point. The key is the money printing machine. With the money printing machine printing money continuously, it is too easy to rob banknote paper compared to banknotes.
After distributing the super counterfeit banknotes in their hands, Ricky Tang and others will definitely find a way to make US dollar bills again.
It is impossible for the printing house to raise security to the highest level during transportation, otherwise the superiors would not ask me to catch Ricky Tang and take the money printing machine back as soon as possible. "
"How do you know that the money printing machine is in the hands of Ricky Tang? Could it be that it was you who got the money printing machine back from Yin Lang, but there was a mistake in the process, and Ricky Tang took advantage of it. "Lei Weidong went straight to the core of the problem.
"I'm not sure about that, maybe." Styron laughed dryly and replied awkwardly.
"No, maybe yes, I need to know the exact answer, otherwise how can I catch Ricky Tang? I don't want to be used." Lei Weidong shrugged.
Although the tone was very kind, his attitude showed that if Stilun dared to conceal it, don't blame yourself for being uncooperative. No one in Xiangjiang dared to deceive Lei Weidong.
"I'm not the person in charge, but I don't know. I just heard that the money printing machine was obtained by some big shots from Yinlang. Our FBI was also involved, and the time when Ricky Tang stole the money printing machine was not ten years ago. four years ago.
He was a peripheral employee of the FBI. He was very capable and well-connected. He was one of the people in charge of transshipment at that time. Unexpectedly, he actually monopolized the money printing machine and took it for himself. "
"It's not about taking it for yourself. If I'm not wrong, Ricky Tang is probably a puppet. Not only do you have people from the FBI, but there are also many people that the FBI can't afford to offend.
Seven billion dollars is not a small amount, and it will make many people crazy about it.
Even the two agents who were killed in the consulate were probably not as simple as they seemed. They might have had close contact with Ricky Tang and others. Otherwise, why would Ricky Tang blow them up?
It couldn't be because they knew their identities.
In that case, just assassinate in the corner, and you won't go crazy to blow up the consulate. At the same time, there are too many things revealed here. "Lei Weidong unceremoniously revealed Stilun's trump card.
"Mr. Lei, you are indeed the richest man in the world. You can analyze the whole thing based on just a few clues." Styron gave him a thumbs up and said very flatteringly.
"Which batch of agents are you in?" Lei Weidong asked.
"The second batch, the first batch are the two people who died." Styron stretched out two fingers and said: "Their mission is the same as mine, to track down the criminal evidence of Ricky Tang and the painter gang, and arrest them Arrest him and take the money printing machine back.
Now it seems that these two people must not have performed their mission well, and may have been bribed by Ricky Tang. As for the explosion that killed them, it is probably because of uneven distribution of the spoils, or they violated some taboos. Anyway, they died, and they were bombed to death in the consulate. .
Because they died and the clues were lost, the leader sent me over. As for the task, take the money printing machine back to the first place. Even if you can't take it back, you will destroy it.
As for Ricky Tang, the painter and others, their superiors did not pay too much attention to them. There are too many people printing counterfeit money in the world. If there are too many of them, there will not be too many, and if there are too few of them, there will be too many.
Take it back if you can, or kill it if you can't. "
"You can kill him, that's the FBI style." Lei Weidong nodded, "Do you have the whereabouts of Ricky Tang?"
"Yes, tonight Ricky Tang will have a party on the yacht of the wealthy Howard Ryan to entertain some friends." Stilon said, "This is the news that Agent Moissa has received.
As a customs officer, she has contacted Ricky Tang and others, and they are preparing to bring a large number of super counterfeit banknotes into the beautiful country through customs. "
"Who is the wealthy Steve Ryan, and is he closely related to Ricky Tang?" Lei Weidong asked.
"Steven Ryan is a billionaire and a famous casino tycoon in Alaska. He has properties all over the world and has great influence in the beautiful country. The reason why we did not arrest Ricky Tang in the beautiful country is because of Steven Ryan. Relationship.
Not to mention that he and some others were Ricky Tang's backers, and may have participated in Ricky Tang's counterfeiting activities, using the casino under his name to launder money for Ricky Tang. "Stillon said.
"Billionaire casino tycoon, I knew there must be rich people involved, otherwise even super counterfeit banknotes with billions of dollars would be difficult to distribute.
Did your commander say what to do with Steven Ryan, whether to arrest or kill him? "
"How is it possible to arrest, let alone killing!" Hearing whether Lei Weidong wanted to arrest Steven Ryan, Stilun shook his head and cried with a smile, "In your eyes, Mr. Lei, Steven Ryan He is a small person, and whether he is captured or killed is a matter of words.
But for me, Steven Ryan is the biggest guy.
In my previous work, the most I came into contact with were corrupt officials or criminals. I had no contact at all with billionaires like Steven Ryan.
In our country, unless someone like Steven Ryan offends someone higher up, he is basically immune to the law.
Billionaires don't commit crimes in America. "
"In the United States, billionaires will not commit crimes. It does make sense." Lei Weidong nodded, liking this kind of law very much, but it was a pity that he had yellow skin.
In a beautiful country, people are naturally discriminated against. No amount of money can change this.
"In other words, tonight's operation is to arrest Ricky Tang. At most, his men or the painter will be arrested, and no one else will be touched."
"Yes!" Styron nodded, "The guests on the yacht tonight are not only friends of Ricky Don, but also friends of Steven Ryan. These people are basically billionaires. If you offend them, don't do it." Let’s face it, even my leader can’t afford it.”
"Steven Ryan's friends are also going, and they are all billionaires. It seems that tonight's party is mainly to discuss counterfeit money. If there is evidence, they can all be caught.
Unfortunately! Lei Weidong looked at Stilun and asked: "Detective Stilun, you and Agent Mo Yisha are the only ones in Xiangjiang this time, no one else is coming."
"To be exact, I'm the only one. Agent Mo Yisha came to Xiangjiang as a friend of Steven Ryan. If it weren't for the fact that I was a polished commander, I wouldn't have come to you to borrow troops.
The most troublesome thing now is that we don’t know where the money printing machine is. If we knew, that would be fine. We could arrest people directly. "
Styron also expressed his opinions on only filming himself in Hong Kong.
But what the superiors said made sense. Firstly, the FBI was short of manpower and could not spare any manpower. Secondly, the local police force could be mobilized, and the garrison could be mobilized when necessary.
There is no need to send more people, just come here by yourself.
"It's not easy to find out where the money printing machine is. Just arrest the person." Lei Weidong waved his hand and said, "Jiaju, I'll leave this matter to you.
Get on the boat, don't ask anything, just ask Ricky directly
· Just capture Tang. He is the leader of the gang and must know where the money printing machine is hidden. "
"Director, what if Ricky Tang doesn't tell us?" Chen Jiaju asked.
"Don't tell me, just beat him. Beat him to death. I don't believe how hard a criminal's bones can be. He can't be compared to those martyrs. After Ricky Tang said it, he immediately led a large team to arrest him and steal the stolen goods. And won."
Lei Weidong's tone was sinister, looking down on criminals like Ricky Tang at all.
"Director, will hitting someone have any negative consequences?" Chen Jiaju asked.
"Detective Dylan, is Ricky Tang a native of Xiangjiang or a Chinese-American?" Lei Weidong turned around and asked.
"Ricky Tang, a Chinese-American, became a naturalized American citizen five years ago." Styron said.
"Since they are not citizens of Xiangjiang, then the laws of Xiangjiang will not apply to them. If you hit someone, you will violate the laws of the United States. Detective Stilun, will you cause trouble for Jiaju in this regard?" Lei Weidong asked with a smile. road.
"Of course not. I'm the killer of criminals. How can I intercede for criminals?" Styron raised his hand and said that if he wanted to be beaten, he could do so as he wanted. He would not stand up for Ricky Tang.
