Xu Lang drove to the Chengzhong District Police Station to learn about the rain of banknotes at the Renjiang Group office building last night.
The director was a middle-aged man in his forties. After listening to Xu Lang's explanation of his purpose, he reported the relevant situation.
At about 8 o'clock last night, the police comrades at the police station had already got off work. Except for a few police officers on duty, they suddenly received a call from the police, saying that there was an abnormal situation at the Renjiang Group office building. Someone was in the Renjiang Group office building.
Throwing money around caused a huge commotion and the scene was very chaotic.
The situation was urgent, and the police on duty reported the matter to the director immediately. At the same time, they drove people to the scene.
When they arrived at the scene, the scene was indeed chaotic. Many hundred-dollar bills were still falling in the sky. Many pedestrians gathered downstairs, lowering their heads and frantically picking up money from the ground. Because there were so many bills, when everyone was picking up money,
The resulting chaos included pushing and shoving, quarrels, and almost a fight. The security personnel of Renjiang Group have been loudly discouraging those who were frantically picking up money to stop, saying that it was their company's money.
, however, no one listened to them at all. After all, when it comes to money falling from the sky, it doesn’t matter whose money it belongs to, just pick it up first.
After arriving at the scene, the police came to the scene immediately and began to maintain order.
The security personnel of Renjiang Group also participated in maintaining order after seeing the police.
Money falling from the sky is a rare thing. Everyone wants to get some of it when they are picked up for free. However, after all, this is not their personal legal income. After seeing the police coming, before, because of the money picking up thing, you
People who pushed me, yelled bad words, or even wanted to fight, immediately dispersed. When many people saw the police coming, they ran away with the money they picked up.
Although the police wanted to stop these people who took money and ran away, because there were too many people participating in picking up money at the scene, and there were too few people from the police, they could only barely maintain order at the scene and prevent these pedestrians from continuing to pick up money.
It's just money.
After receiving the call, the director of the police station rushed to the scene immediately and started working on the scene, asking those who picked up the money and did not leave to hand over the money they picked up, while the security personnel of the Renjiang Group were responsible for collecting the money.
Collect the money that hasn't been picked up yet.
Faced with the fat they got, the benefits immediately no longer belong to them. Many people are still unwilling to do so, but in the end, after some ideological education, they reluctantly handed over the money.
, as to how much was paid, whether it was the full amount, half, or even less, it is impossible to figure out.
After maintaining order at the scene and collecting the falling banknotes one after another, the director led several people and two security personnel from the company into the office building of Renjiang Group. According to their description of the falling banknotes,
The location was directly at the top of the building.
When the police arrived at the roof, there was no one on the roof. Apart from a few bags containing banknotes, they did not find many clues.
Because the amount of banknotes at the scene was huge and the security personnel did not know what happened to the money, the police had to temporarily seize the money.
Subsequently, the relevant person in charge of Renjiang Group came to the scene to deal with the relevant situation. However, the person in charge did not know what happened to the money, who was doing this on the roof, or even this huge sum of money.
He couldn't tell whether it belonged to their company, so the police had no choice but to temporarily take the money back to the police station and wait for further investigation results.
However, what the police did not expect was that a rain of banknotes rained down on the Renjiang Group office building at night. It was quickly reported and caused an uproar on the Internet. Most of them complained about why they did not pay attention at the time.
It was a pity that it was discovered at the scene.
This is what happened. After hearing this, Xu Lang frowned. There were a few things he couldn't figure out.
First, who made the alarm call? Was it the security personnel of Renjiang Group or a pedestrian at the scene?
Second, what happened to this money? Does it belong to Renjiang Group?
Third, what is the purpose of this person who spreads money?
Thinking of these questions, Xu Lang asked: "Where is the money now?"
"Oh, the money, after we brought it back, we put it in the evidence room." The director said.
"How much is it exactly?"
"We did some statistics and found that there are about 18.6 million."
"Is it all cash?"
"Yes, they are all cash, and they are all new banknotes, many of which have serial numbers."
Hearing this, Xu Lang frowned and asked, "Are these money counterfeit?"
The director shook his head and said: "It's not counterfeit banknotes. We have checked them all and they are all genuine."
Hearing what the director said, Xu Lang frowned more and more. So many real banknotes suddenly appeared, and they were all brand-new banknotes. They must have been taken out from the bank. In fact, Xu Lang was listening to the entire case.
After that, the first thing that came to mind was that the money was not real money, but counterfeit money, because no one would throw away the real money in their hands as garbage. However, the results showed that the money was not counterfeit money.
, this shows that the person who did this must have a purpose. As for what purpose, this is something that needs to be investigated by the police.
"Has all the cash at the scene been recovered?" Xu Lang asked.
The director smiled wryly and shook his head, saying: "There are no throws on the roof.
The spilled cash was recovered, but any cash that has been thrown away has been recovered by us. As for the money picked up by passers-by, we have only recovered a small part of it."
"Why......."
Having said this, the director let out a long sigh.
Xu Lang didn't say anything. He knew what the director was sighing. As the saying goes, birds die for food and people die for money. Facing the money falling in front of oneself, a person will become greedy, even if those
People who are not greedy at first will become greedy when they see so many people picking up money, so they get involved. But afterward, if they have to hand over what they have got, nine and a half out of ten people will not be willing.
, naturally, the money recovered must be very little.
This is not the most troublesome thing for the director. The most troublesome thing for him is how much money is there in total. This is a question. Currently, the money seized by the police is more than 18 million, but,
No one knows what the specific number is.
Thinking of this, Xu Lang asked: "Whose money belongs to you? Is it from Renjiang Group?"
The director shook his head and said: "After we rushed to the scene of the crime last night, we asked the person in charge of Renjiang Group, and they didn't know who the money belonged to. Moreover, in order to recover those banknotes last night, we
It took a lot of effort.”
"What does the real person in charge of Renjiang Group say? Is there anyone here to claim the money?" Xu Lang asked again.
The director shook his head again and said: "Since the incident, no one has come to us to claim the money. We have also contacted Zou Yuanliang, the vice chairman of Renjiang Group. Originally, we agreed that he would come to us this morning.
It’s a one-time trip, but..."
Speaking of this, the director looked at Xu Lang, and it was self-evident that it was the murder of Zou Renjiang.
The news of Zou Renjiang's murder was reported by many media immediately, and the police naturally learned about it immediately.
Xu Lang nodded, thought for a while, and asked: "By the way, is the cash collection still in progress?"
The director nodded and said: "Yes, it is still going on. We have already collected the banknotes on site. The next step is to find those who have picked up the money and ask them to return the money, but...
..."
The director stopped talking at the end. Xu Lang understood what the director meant. This job was thankless and very difficult. First, he didn’t know the specific amount of money. Second, he didn’t know.
How much money each person picked up, and even if they are willing to return it, how much will they return? This is a question. No matter what, there will definitely be a certain gap between the money recovered in the end and the actual amount, and what the police have to do now
That is, to make this gap smaller and smaller. Of course, the most important thing is to find out who the owner of the money is and how much the specific amount is.
Seeing that Xu Lang didn't speak for a long time, the director hesitated and asked: "Team leader Xu, are you here for the case of Zou Renjiang's murder?"
They were all police comrades, and Xu Lang had no intention of hiding it. He nodded and said, "Yes."
"Do you think there is a connection between last night's money rain incident and today's murder of Zou Renjiang?" the director asked.
Xu Lang nodded and said: "Although there is no direct relationship between the two for the time being, they are all related to Renjiang Group. We must find out the truth."
"Yes, yes." The director nodded hurriedly.
Then, he asked: "What is Team Leader Xu going to do next? Will the money be transferred to your CSY?"
Xu Lang thought for a moment and said, "We'll talk about money later. Now, you and I can go to Renjiang Group and ask about the specific situation of Qian Yu."
"Okay, no problem."
Acting vigorously and resolutely is the consistent style of the police. After deciding what to do next, Xu Lang went to Renjiang Group with the director.
————
The office building of Renjiang Group is located in one of the most prosperous areas in the city center.
It was an office building with more than 30 floors. Before the Hengda Building was built, it was the tallest office building in S City.
Xu Lang's police car was stopped by the group's security personnel at the entrance of the company. After Xu Lang and the others showed their IDs, they entered the company.
When Xu Lang got out of the car, he found that the atmosphere in Renjiang Group was very depressing today, and there were many security personnel. He didn't know whether the company's security measures had always been like this, or whether they had temporarily added security measures due to the impact of yesterday's money rain incident.
strength, or perhaps it was affected by the murder of Zou Renjiang.
When getting off the car, Xu Lang clearly saw that many media reporters had gathered outside the company. They were clamoring to enter the company for interviews, but they were all turned away.
This is normal. After all, something happened in the office building of Renjiang Group last night, and today, Zou Renjiang, the chairman of Renjiang Group, was suddenly killed again. No matter what it is, it is very breaking news. As media workers, they
Naturally, I want to dig up the hard stuff as soon as possible.
When Xu Lang entered the company, he subconsciously glanced at the group of reporters and saw a familiar figure. It was Jiang Lin'er, the reporter from the Life News who appeared on the roof of the Hengda Building yesterday at the scene of Zou Renjiang's murder.
, and Jiang Lin'er also saw Xu Lang. She just wanted to come over and say hello to Xu Lang, but was stopped by the security guard. Xu Lang had no intention of talking to the other party at this time, and turned around and entered the company.
At the front desk of the company, Xu Lang revealed her identity and told her intention, and the other party reported the incident. Not long after, she took Xu Lang and the director in the elevator to Zou Yuanliang's office.
Zou Yuanliang's office is on the top floor. Xu Lang doesn't find this strange. In most listed companies, the boss's office is on the top floor of the company. First, on the top floor of the building, you can enjoy the scenery outside and stand in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.
, you can overlook everything under your feet, giving people a sense of superiority. Secondly, it naturally shows their identity. Whether they are willing or not, they will arrange it this way.
After arriving at Zou Yuanliang's office, Xu Lang saw Zou Yuanliang again.
In the morning, because of the case of Zou Renjiang's murder, Xu Lang saw Zou Yuanliang, and Zou Yuanliang also went to CSY to be questioned. However, the person who questioned Zou Yuanliang was not Xu Lang, but Ding Haoqiong.
"Officer Xu, we meet again."
The two parties said hello and sat down in the living room of his office.
Zou Yuanliang was dressed in professional attire, but there was still no expression on his face. There was no indication of his happiness, anger, sorrow, or joy. After sitting down, Zou Yuanliang went straight to the point and asked: "Officer Xu, didn't we just meet this morning? What should I say?
Yes, I made it clear in CSY, I don’t know, Officer Xu is here this time..."
Xu Lang looked at Zou Yuanliang with a smile and said, "Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not here this time because of your father's affairs."
"Then why are you here?"
When Zou Yuanliang said this, he looked at the director sitting next to Xu Lang. He seemed to have thought of something and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Xu Lang nodded and said: "I heard that there was a huge rain of banknotes in the office building of Renjiang Group last night. I wanted to come over and find out about the situation."
Hearing what Xu Lang said, Zou Yuanliang frowned and looked slightly unhappy. However, this unhappy expression only passed away for a moment, and soon returned to normal. He looked at Xu Lang and asked: "This
Is this matter also under your CSY’s control?”
Xu Lang and the director looked at each other, then Xu Lang looked at Zou Yuanliang and said: "At the scene where your father was killed, we found a large amount of cash and banknotes, and last night, they also appeared on the roof of your Renjiang Group office building.
There was a large amount of cash and banknotes. We suspected that the two things were related, so we came over to ask."
"Then what do Officer Xu want to ask?" Zou Yuanliang nodded and asked.
"What happened to the banknotes last night? Was it a prank by someone in your company?" Xu Lang asked.
"Prank? Officer Xu, are you talking about me, or what else?" Zou Yuanliang asked.
"I didn't name anyone in particular. I just want to know if the money belongs to your company. If it does, who is the person who threw the money on the roof?"
"The money does not belong to our company. At least, I don't know the origin of the money."
"Could it be done by an employee within your company?" Xu Lang asked in hot pursuit.
Zou Yuanliang shook his head and said, "No."
"How can you be so sure?"
"After I returned to the company, I immediately asked someone to investigate this matter. It has been determined that it was not done by any of our internal employees."
"Are you so sure?" Xu Lang asked curiously.
"As far as I know, the cash found at the scene is nearly 20 million, and 20 million is not a big sum of money to me, but for most employees of our company, it is definitely a huge sum of money, and it can
There are only a handful of people in our company who have withdrawn so much cash in a short period of time, and our company has already conducted an internal investigation on them, not them."
After listening to Zou Yuanliang's explanation, Xu Lang frowned subconsciously. He felt that Zou Yuanliang seemed to be hiding something. So, what exactly did he want to hide?
"What do you think about this matter?" Xu Lang asked.
Zou Yuanliang looked at Xu Lang, thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Maybe it's like what Officer Xu said just now, this may be someone's prank."
"Prank? Mr. Zou, do you really believe this is a prank?" Xu Lang asked.
Zou Yuanliang straightened up, leaned forward slightly, looked at Xu Lang, and said, "Isn't it what you police should do to investigate the truth of the matter?"
Xu Lang was silent.
"Besides, my father was murdered. Instead of investigating the real culprit who killed my father, you policemen came to me to ask about the rain of money. I personally think that this is not good. No matter what,
, My father was also a well-known figure in S City, and now that he has been killed, is this how you treat a person who has made a huge contribution to the economic development of S City?" Zou Yuanliang's tone became sharp.
Xu Lang squinted his eyes, looked at Zou Yuanliang, and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Zou, we have already started investigating the murder of your father. I believe that a result will be given soon. However, the matter of Qian Yu
, we will also investigate, and I hope Mr. Zou can cooperate with our investigation. This will be good for you and me, what do you think?"
Zou Yuanliang leaned forward again, looked at Xu Lang, nodded, and said: "If this is true, that would be great. I believe in your police, and I hope that your police can investigate the truth of the matter as soon as possible and save us victims."
Let the family members of the deceased give an explanation.”
