Binjiang Police Affairs

Chapter 1554 - 314: Luo Wenjiang’s Discovery

The questioning lasted for more than three hours, and the information gathered was almost the same.Han Yu packed up his paper and pen, exchanged opinions with Old Wang from the neighboring office, and was just about to return to the Gaoru Police Station of the Changhang Bureau when the deputy general manager of Changlin Clothing, Qi Shaoping, knocked on the door and came in.

"Director Han, Captain Jiang, Director Liu, we’ve prepared a simple meal on the third floor!"

"President Qi, there’s no need for such courtesy."

"It’s really just a casual meal. The Chairman specifically called to arrange it. I wouldn’t be able to explain to him if you don’t give face."

The young vice president in front of them looked very capable and was quite enthusiastic in his hospitality.

Han Yu was unsure how to decline politely when Director Liu from the Yangtze Police Station smiled and introduced, "Director Han, Major General Jiang, President Qi is Chairman Yu’s son-in-law, a proper college graduate, and young with a promising future!"

"Is that so? I apologize for the oversight."

"Please, leaders, this way."

Just as they were speaking, a young woman in her twenties, dressed in an extraordinary manner, walked over with a smile.

Director Liu, familiar with local enterprises, quickly introduced, "Director Han, this is Chairman Yu’s daughter, President Qi’s wife, the head of finance at Changlin Clothing, Ms. Yu Meizhen."

"So it’s President Yu. My apologies for causing you trouble, President Yu."

"No trouble at all. It’s our duty to cooperate with the police investigation." President Yu smiled sweetly and curiously asked, "Three leaders, what exactly happened to our Lu Xueqin?"

"President Yu, I’m sorry, the case is still under investigation, so we can’t reveal anything at the moment."

"Since it’s confidential, I’ll pretend I didn’t ask. Leaders, lunch is ready, please head upstairs."

"We appreciate your hospitality, but we truly don’t have the time today."

"No matter how busy you are, you have to eat!"

"We really don’t have time," Han Yu, fearing a misunderstanding with the two ’young owners,’ glanced at Director Liu helplessly and said, "Our superior just rushed from Binjiang to the Gaoru Police Station, and we need to report the situation to them immediately."

The case being investigated is a homicide. After finally uncovering some clues, they must press on and resolve it decisively.

Director Liu, well aware that Han Yu and his team couldn’t stay for a meal, quickly smiled and said, "President Qi, President Yu, Director Han and Major General Jiang really don’t have time today."

"We’ve prepared everything."

"I understand, another time."

"Then allow me to see you off."

"No need to be so courteous, please, stay."

...

After thanking the two ’young owners’ from Changlin Clothing, Han Yu and his team hurried to the Gaoru Police Station.

The working environment at the Gaoru Police Station was similar to the old Linghai Police Station, located in the Gaoru Port District, with only four low and old offices that also served as dormitories.

Political Commissar Dong had temporarily borrowed a meeting room at Gaoru Port. When Han Yu, Major General Jiang, and Old Wang followed police officer Xiao Sun of the Gaoru Police Station into the room, President Niu and Old Zhao from the Hanwu Branch’s Criminal Police had also arrived for the debriefing after listening to the interrogation.

Gaoru Port isn’t even considered a major port, not like Bailong Port, which had passenger lines passing through.

The port is not big, the docks are smaller, and the berths aren’t deep enough, mainly accommodating inland river cargo ships for loading and unloading domestic trade goods. The port holds little importance, and likewise, the Gaoru Police Station held little importance and in so many years had never seen such a gathering of leadership.

The Director and Instructor had long prepared lunch, and as soon as President Niu, Old Zhao, Political Commissar Dong, and Han Yu sat down, they turned into waiters, bringing steaming dishes into the meeting room.

Han Yu was genuinely hungry, reporting the situation as he ate.

President Niu and Old Zhao were shocked and couldn’t believe that the victim had once worked overseas and earned over three hundred thousand!

Although Political Commissar Dong was surprised, he wasn’t too shocked. While helping President Niu with soup, he explained, "Several districts and counties in Binjiang started exporting labor early on. With rapid economic development in recent years and more export enterprises cropping up, labor export was once a main source of foreign exchange for Binjiang."

Fearing that the leadership of the unit wouldn’t understand, Major General Jiang added, "Working abroad, they earn US Dollars, Yen, or Singaporean money, and when they come back, it has to be converted to RMB, which generates foreign exchange."

In Hanwu, not many go abroad for work, so President Niu, curious, asked, "Can anyone go abroad to work if they want to?"

"Not just anyone can go. You have to first sign up with an overseas agency, and some of them organize training and you have to learn a bit of a foreign language. There’s also medical examinations, passports, and visas to handle, which costs a lot of money and time. I have a distant relative who went to Singapore for renovation work and paid sixty thousand in various fees. It took him half a year before he finally went."

"The victim had over three hundred thousand, where did that money go?"

"That’s precisely the key issue," Han Yu took over, putting down his chopsticks and said, "I plan to arrange for some people in the afternoon to go to Taoyuan, to find out about Lu Xueqin’s parents, sister, and brother-in-law, and at the same time inform them of Lu Xueqin’s unfortunate death."

"The woman who worked in Saipan with the victim must also be traced quickly."

"I’ve talked to Director Li, and he’s organizing a team to investigate. There are quite a few auto repair shops in the city, but we have a clear target. A couple-run business, opened for less than a year, and the Boss Lady has been abroad before, it shouldn’t be difficult to investigate, and we should have information before it gets dark."

"And what about Huo Zhaojun downstairs?" President Niu asked in a low voice.

Han Yu thought for a moment, smiled bitterly, and said, "I don’t think he’s lying, but I’m not completely sure. After all, he’s a major suspect. If we let him go and it turns out he did it and he runs away, what then?"
