"As long as you understand!" Seeing how knowledgeable Chen Chaoqun was, Lei Weidong waved his hand to let Han Zhibang, Chen Jingci and Jian Huizhen in, and at the same time motioned to turn down the air conditioner in the interrogation room.

The temperature in the interrogation room behind the two air outlets is a bit extremely low. It is conservatively estimated to be only 12 or 3 degrees Celsius. If you wear cold-resistant clothes such as a down jacket, you can still resist the cold air.

But Xiangjiang is located in a tropical area, and it rarely snows once in more than ten years. Let alone down jackets, there are very few thick clothes, mostly white shirts.

Even a pervert like Lei Weidong can still feel cool wearing a white shirt.

Needless to say, office men like Chen Chaoqun are in a sub-healthy state and have runny noses. If he stays here for a while, he will get seriously ill.

"Thank you, Brother Lei." Chen Chaoqun breathed a deep sigh of relief when he realized that the air conditioner was turned off. He picked up the tissue paper on the table and wiped the snot from his nose.

In just a moment, the thick pack of facial tissues on the table had already bottomed out, which shows the power of the air conditioner.

"Let me introduce to you, these two are Han Zhibang and Chen Jingci from the Independent Commission Against Corruption. They have been targeting Lida Group for more than a day or two. I can assure you.

As long as you tell everything you know, I will let you be a tainted witness without having to go to court."

Seeing Lin Zhibang and others coming in, Lei Weidong introduced a few people to Chen Chaoqun.

"Sir Lei, it doesn't make sense for the tainted witness not to go to court." When Lei Weidong said that Chen Chaoqun could testify without going to court, Han Zhibang couldn't help but remind him.

Hong Kong law stipulates that if a tainted witness is a verbal witness, he must go to court. If he does not go to court to be questioned by the judge and lawyers, the court will not accept the testimony provided.

This is why the police have to send people to protect tainted witnesses. Otherwise, tainted witnesses can easily be assassinated by criminals. As long as the tainted witnesses are assassinated, the verbal testimony they provide will no longer work, and the criminals can be acquitted.

This resulted in frequent murders of tainted witnesses in Xiangjiang. Wang Bao only escaped jail by killing his financial adviser who had betrayed him.

However, he was unlucky and met Lei Weidong and was killed directly.

"It's okay, Chen Chaoqun, just tell me whether the Lida Group engaged in tobacco smuggling, how it sold the tobacco to the black market, and how it was paid back. Leave the rest to me and I'll tell the judge."

Lei Weidong waved his hand, indicating that this trivial matter should not be taken seriously. No one has dared to assassinate the tainted witness in Lei Weidong's hands. Compared to the testimony provided by the tainted witness, Lei Weidong's face is a hundred times more important.

"The Lida Group is indeed engaged in tobacco smuggling, and the volume is large. It is the largest tobacco smuggling group in Hong Kong. At least 30% of the black smoke on the market is provided by Lida."

There is no fool who can earn tens of millions of dollars. Since he has decided to defect to Lei Weidong, he must defect to the end and tell everything. It can be said that Chen Chaoqun answered simply and neatly, without hiding anything.

"Very good!" Lei Weidong laughed,

"Although you are a puppet legal person, you are still a smart person who never takes the initiative to inquire about information, but you have been with the Lida Group for such a long time, even if you don't inquire, I believe you already know everything you need to know. Tell me, how did they switch the contract?

To avoid customs inspection.”

"Brother Lei, you are right. As long as you are in the position and you are influenced by your ears and eyes, you will know a lot without asking." Chen Chaoqun nodded, sorted out the thoughts in his mind and said:

"Xiangjiang is one of the largest ports in Asia. At least tens of thousands of containers are handled at the terminal every day. With so many containers and the customs does not have enough manpower, it is impossible to inspect every container. It can only conduct random inspections and inspect the goods of Lida Company.

The same goes for random inspections from time to time.

Lida Company has a mole in the customs. I don’t know who it is. Anyway, it has a very high status, because every time the customs inspects Lida Company’s goods, Lida Company can receive accurate information.

In this way, preparations can be made in advance. When the customs officers come, they open the container and see that it is all tobacco, which shows that Lida Company has always abided by the law.

If not come!

What Lida Company exports are some worthless waste products. The cigarettes are packaged out and put into the local black market. Even thirty-one packages can make a lot of money.

"How is the money coming out of the black market laundered? Is it remitted abroad through the foreign exchange market and then paid back as payment for goods?" Lei Weidong continued to ask.

“The money sent abroad and then brought back is only part of it, and it is remitted to Lida Trading Group as operating costs. The people who maintain its operation, including the boss behind the scenes, have nothing to do with Lida Trading Group.

Because no matter how perfect the scam is, it will be exposed at some point, so Lida Company was introduced as a scapegoat from the beginning. For the sake of safety, no one can have any interest relationship with it.

Chen Chaoqun shook his head and said, "The real profits will go into a company called Era Investment, and then Era Investment will use the money to control some stocks in the stock market and control the rise and fall of these stocks."

"Controlling the rise and fall of stocks, the boss behind the scenes launders the money through the stock market." Lei Weidong asked after hearing this.

"Yes!"

Chen Chaoqun nodded and said, "The boss behind the scenes and some black hands will build positions in some stocks in advance, such as a certain junk stock. After the money invested in the era arrives, they will trade the stock and push it up and turn it over.

times are normal.

It’s no problem if other institutions or hot money find out about it, because it’s junk stocks, so they generally won’t come in to take over. If they come in, that’s even better, because they will be locked up in a high position like leeks.

If not, then let the big boss leave first, and the others later. After everyone successfully escapes, whether the strong man will cut off his arms or hold on to the end is a matter of Era Investment. It is Era Investment Company that is losing money. Everyone has already made money in the stock market.

to make enough profits.

And the money is so clean that even the Securities Regulatory Commission and the ICAC can’t make any mistakes and will only consider it to be money earned in the stock market.”

"It's really amazing. He even thought of laundering money by making money in the stock market."

Lei Weidong nodded and praised. This method of making money is too hidden. Even if he makes money, everyone will think that he is lucky and will not think of breaking the law.

What’s even more amazing is that this method is not afraid of losing money.

Because it is hedging, if Big Boss loses money, Era Investment will make money. It doesn’t matter if you change a stock and continue the operation. It cannot be like this for every stock.

As for the cost.

hehe!

Laundering money outside also requires costs, at least 30% and sometimes 50% cannot be stopped. In contrast, making money in the stock market not only has security fees, but also much less.

Of course, the stock market crash does not count.

That thing is the general environment, the stock market is falling across the board, and hundreds of millions or billions of funds cannot support it. If you encounter that kind of situation, you can only admit it is bad luck.

"No wonder we have never been able to find a handle on Lida Group. It turns out that they are using the stock market to launder money." Han Zhibang couldn't help but shake his head when he heard about Lida Group's operations.

The amount of funds, hundreds of millions or billions of Hong Kong dollars, can be said to be huge. Whether it is transfer or cash, it is easy to attract attention, but this is not the case in the stock market.

Let’s not talk about the world, let’s just talk about Xiangjiang. The amount of funds in the stock market exceeds one trillion. If we include the world, there is a sea of ​​hundreds of thousands or even tens of trillions of funds.

You won’t risk this small amount of money in the splash. Without a target, it would be too difficult to check.

Fortunately, Lei Weidong is here.

Only he would make Chen Chaoqun turn from darkness to light and tell everything.

This is not because Chen Chaoqun is righteous, but everyone knows that compared to Lei Weidong's power, no matter who the boss behind the Lida Group is, in Lei Weidong's eyes, he is an ant who can be trampled to death at will.

It would be strange for a smart man like Chen Chaoqun not to take refuge.

In comparison, the police or the Independent Commission Against Corruption are not good. Their promises are too weak in the face of money. Unless they are desperate, they will not cooperate with the police officers anyway.

"Contact the China Securities Regulatory Commission and ask them to check the transaction records of Era Investment this year and last year to see who is making money from this." Lei Weidong ordered.

The operation method of Era Investment violates securities laws. Unlike the mainland, in the mature market of Xiangjiang, once discovered, it will be investigated to the end.

More importantly, in the computer age, stock trading, like the Internet, has memory.

As long as you trade, there will be records.

I didn't check before because I didn't have a target, but with a target, no matter how deep you hide it, no matter how many vests you have, you can find it out.

It can be said that anyone who has made money on the era investment line in the past two days is a target of suspicion.

Once, twice or five times or six times is fine, it may be a lucky leek and you can make money just by luck.

But eight times out of ten, it can't be explained by luck, the tail is exposed directly.

No matter it is the moth hiding in the customs, the person covering up the transaction, or the big boss behind the scenes, no one can escape. As for who is the big boss behind the scenes, it is easy to guess, the one who makes the most money is the one.

"Do you have any suspicion in your mind?" Although he knew that Chen Chaoqun didn't know who was behind the scenes, Lei Weidong still asked.

"I don't, but there is someone who should know." Chen Chaoqun thought carefully for a while and said, "Xu Zhiyao, the financial director of Lida Trading Group, should know something.

Compared to me, a corporate puppet, he who manages money has more rights than me."

"Xu Zhiyao!"

Lei Weidong silently recited the name, then turned to look at Chen Jingci and said, "Commissioner Chen, if you can get the information about Lida Company, it seems that Xu Zhiyao gave it to you. He is a friend you grew up with."

"Yes!"

Chen Jingci nodded. Although Xu Zhiyao asked him to keep it secret and he would not tell it everywhere, Chen Jingci had no guts to hide it when facing the mountain of Lei Weidong.

Think about Chen Chaoqun, this stubborn person in Xu Zhiyao's mouth, but he turned against Lei Weidong within a few hours and became his henchman.

"In this case, just invite him over. Chen Chaoqun is right. Compared with the legal person who is a puppet, the financial director in charge of the money is the boss's crony. If nothing else, he not only knows who the bad guys at the customs are, but also the big boss.

There are clues.

"OK!"

Chen Jingci nodded. Although Xu Zhiyao asked him to keep it secret and he would not tell it everywhere, Chen Jingci had no guts to hide it when facing the mountain of Lei Weidong.

Think about Chen Chaoqun, this stubborn person in Xu Zhiyao's mouth, but he turned against Lei Weidong within a few hours and became his henchman.

soon!

Xu Zhiyao was taken to the police station by Chen Jingci.

"Old Xu, this is Lei Weidong, the director of the Police Operations Division. Tell us what you know and he will make the decision for you." Unlike Chen Chaoqun, Xu Zhiyao came to the police station as a witness.

Lei Weidong met them in his office.

"Sir Lei, I heard from Lao Chen that you are investigating Era Investment?"

Xu Zhiyao and his college classmate both grew up together. They may have grown up in the same orphanage and later went to school together.

In his junior year, the Independent Commission Against Corruption was established and the university was recruiting people. Xu Zhiyao, who hated police corruption deeply, was determined to be admitted to the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
