After going around and around, the Mercedes-Benz finally arrived at an ordinary villa complex on the outskirts of the city. The houses here were very secretive, and they were all single-family villas with high walls and courtyards. Usually, there would be cameras installed in every corner, and reporters or detectives wouldn't be able to capture the scene inside. Also, as the number one indoor real estate company, they had a very high level of privacy protection.
Xu Cheng stopped the car about a kilometer away from the villa and didn't continue following. When the Mercedes-Benz confirmed that there were no other cars following them, Master Xin signaled the security guard to open the electronic gate. Even without the gate, Xu Cheng could see the entire structure of the villa.
Even if Master Xin had a wild imagination, he wouldn't have thought that Xu Cheng would be watching them from a kilometer away like he was watching a movie. That's right, it felt like he was watching from God's perspective, even clearer than a satellite.
"I wonder if my eyes can be strengthened in the future. Right now, I can see through everything at a distance of three kilometers. If I can strengthen it in the future, then it would be great," Xu Cheng muttered to himself.
Immediately, he took out a pack of cigarettes and lit one for himself. Then, he put his feet on the steering wheel and looked at the scene inside the villa. If he had a bag of chips, it would be like watching a movie theater.
After the Mercedes-Benz drove into the villa, Xu Cheng followed Master Xin's camera.
As soon as Master Xin got out of the car, he was stopped by a bodyguard at the entrance of the villa for a body search. When Xu Cheng saw this bodyguard, he immediately took out a pen and a piece of paper from the back of the car and sketched out the bodyguard's characteristics. These were all clues, and he could go back to the police system later.
After the bodyguard finished checking Master Xin's body, Xu Cheng was pretty sure that the identity of the person living in this villa wasn't simple. At least, from the looks of it, this person was probably Master Xin's superior!
Maybe the five casino owners were just puppets, and just like the rumors said, West Gate also had a big shot like Gate Master Yan behind it. After all, it was impossible for someone to be able to play around in the underworld and open five casinos without a decent person at the helm.
For many years, the police had been searching for the person behind West Gate. Ever since the decline of corporatism, the person behind West Gate basically didn't show up anymore. Many people also believed that after their deaths, West Gate would complete a transition from being a black organization to being a white organization. However, the government wasn't an idiot. Even an idiot wouldn't believe that the person behind West Gate was dead, and the entire West Gate had been in an orderly state for the past few years.
If you really managed to turn West Gate into a legal corporation, the government might let you off the hook. However, a large-scale case of underground money laundering could only be said to have a huge impact, and the government couldn't be blamed for wanting to get rid of you!
As Grandpa Xin walked into the villa, Xu Cheng's eyes followed him in. Grandpa Xin directly came to an indoor swimming pool in the back hall, where three women were serving an old man in his sixties. However, Xu Cheng could clearly see the green dragon tattoo on the old man's chest.
His hand subconsciously quickly drew the tattoo on the paper, and he continued to stare at it.
"Master Qing, the police are already suspecting us of money laundering," Master Xin stood by the pool and said to the old man who was drinking red wine with his back to him.
This old man was very well-built, and even though his face was pale and wrinkled, he seemed to be very energetic.
Hearing Grandpa Xin's words, he slowly said, "Did you guys get anything on us? How's your work going? "
Grandpa Xin: "For the time being, we don't have anything on them. We are doing everything very discreetly, and the finance department is also doing a very healthy job on the surface."
Master Qing: "Very good, then there's nothing to be afraid of. As long as you guys don't panic, the police won't be able to infiltrate. There will be a deal next week, so you guys better be careful."
Grandpa Xin immediately narrowed his eyes. "How much?"
Master Qing: "1 billion USD from the Middle East Underground Money House! Our commission is 50 million USD! I'll give you a week's time. Tell the public that we are going to host a poker tournament. This way, the police won't get suspicious because the amount is too big. Just say that the World Poker Association is officially sponsoring this tournament, and everyone is allowed to participate. There will be gambling masters and capitalists from all over the world coming to play. "
"Yes! I will immediately arrange it when I get back. "Grandpa Xin nodded.
Xu Cheng, who was listening in the car, narrowed his eyes and caught a few words. Middle East, Underground Money House, 1 billion USD!
How does money laundering work? It's when the source of your money is illegal, and when the amount of money is huge, and under normal circumstances, you can't prove the source of the money. However, when you transfer the money into the casino in advance, and when you win a lot of chips, you only need to pay the casino a commission, and your money will have a legal source. After all, this casino is legal, and you can easily prove to the police that you won the money.
It seemed like today's tracking and inspection was just right. Right now, no one knew what role Master Qing played in this, but judging from the respect Grandpa Xin had for him, this person must have a very important position in West Gate. Then, the time, place, and the big fish all appeared. In a week, the big fish would pass through the underground money house, and the amount would be 1 billion USD. At that time, whoever won 1 billion USD in the tournament would be the big fish, and they could find him to investigate the underground money house!
After Master Qing waved his hand to let the three women leave, he slowly turned around. Xu Cheng saw his face clearly, and he immediately picked up a pen and a piece of white paper and started drawing. This person was very important, and he might be the person behind West Gate!
After Grandpa Xin walked out from Master Qing's place, he got into his Mercedes and left the single-family mansion. Then, Xu Cheng drove the car, looked at the house number, and then left.
He directly went to the police station and took the three drawings to the archive room.
"Help me investigate these two people." Xu Cheng took the drawings of the head bodyguard and the old man Master Qing and gave them to his colleague in the archive room.
This person used the 3D face modeling technology to draw the images, and then he directly looked them up in the population database.
Soon, he found information on Master Qing and the bodyguard.
"Captain Xu, this middle-aged man with stubble is a bodyguard for a security company, and his English name is Neil. This security company is from overseas, and this guy used to be a mercenary from all over the world and participated in quite a few missions."
Xu Cheng: "Then why can a person like this move freely in Hua?"
"The few missions he participated in and his background didn't conflict with our country, and since the security company he signed with is legal, the country can't target him."
Xu Cheng pointed at Master Qing's information and asked, "Then what about this guy?"
The archivist said, "Chang Qing, 68 years old this year. He started a charity fund ten years ago and is considered an invisible tycoon. I heard he also has other real estate assets."
Xu Cheng narrowed his eyes. "His identity isn't as simple as it looks on the surface. At least, have you ever seen a normal philanthropist with a tattoo?"
The archivist smiled. "Captain Xu, you are right. This guy's hidden wealth has always been one of the police's investigations. It's just that for some reason, this guy's whereabouts are unknown."
Xu Cheng then asked, "Does this Neil need to be audited if we hire him?"
Archivist: "Yes. This security company is world-famous, and hiring a bodyguard from their company would require at least 5 billion yuan."
Xu Cheng: "Then do you think this Chang Qing has 5 billion yuan in legal assets?"
Archivist: "Nope, only about 1.5 billion."
