– Criminal Investigation Division –
At night, Xu Cheng arranged for everyone in Team 2 to work overtime.
He told them all to go to the case room and look up old cases.
"All of you, seriously investigate all the cases in Shangcheng that are related to the tattoos. Look here." Xu Cheng placed the three Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and White Tiger tattoos on the table and said, "Investigate all the cases related to these tattoos. Don't leave out any open or closed cases."
At this time, Li Chao had already collected some images from the internet. "Boss, these are all the tattoos related to Black Tortoise."
After Xu Cheng took it, he said to everyone in the team, "Focus on this tattoo, the other three can be ignored."
He had a feeling that the old man Black Tortoise must have had an ulterior motive for erasing the tattoos!
Team 2 was working overtime mysteriously, and the other teams were very confused.
"They're not just putting on a show for us, are they? It's only been two days, and they've already made progress? "
"Who knows, maybe the captain of Team 2 is just bluffing. I don't believe they can find anything with that plan. What's the difference between this and Jiang Taigong fishing? The key is that they're not stupid enough to take the bait. "
"Five teams of 50 people have been investigating for half a year, and they're just relying on the 10 of them? Stop joking. "
"Then what are they doing? I heard they've all been very busy these past two days. It seems like something big happened. "
Team 2 had indeed entered a critical period like they said. At least for Xu Cheng, it wasn't like he didn't get any results in the past two days. He already knew who the four kings behind West Gate were. He had a big appetite. Not only did he want to thoroughly investigate the money laundering at West Gate, but he also wanted to uproot the four kings! So, tonight, he was looking for evidence of the four's crimes. If the four didn't have a criminal history, they wouldn't have hidden themselves. Anyone involved in the four gates must have done something dirty in the past, and as long as he could find some clues, he would definitely be able to find solid evidence.
In the middle of the night, the members of the team went to order hamburgers and coffee for everyone.
"Boss, here's your Red Bull."
Xu Cheng took it and immediately started drinking. It was already 3 AM. One of Wu Gang's subordinates suddenly said in surprise, "Boss, come over and look at this case."
Xu Cheng immediately went over.
The subordinate pointed at the yellowed photo and said, "This case from 20 years ago has the tattoo you need. This tattoo is closer to the Black Tortoise pattern you mentioned."
Xu Cheng's eyes slightly widened. "Tell me the whole case."
The subordinate nodded and began to sort out the whole case. "Twenty years ago, the biggest robbery case in Shangcheng broke out. There were four people involved, and the case was only solved after 10 years of investigation."
Xu Cheng: "Four? Have they all been caught? "
"He was caught and executed in the same year, and part of the money was recovered," the subordinate said.
Xu Cheng looked at the photos taken at the crime scene. The four robbers were wearing masks and carrying guns. They were all tall and muscular, and one of them had a Black Tortoise tattoo on his chest.
Xu Cheng was too lazy to look at the photos of the four people who were executed 10 years later. He only looked at their heights and compared them with the four robbers from the crime scene 10 years ago, and he found that there was a serious discrepancy.
Xu Cheng's fingers tapped on the desk, and after thinking for a while, he analyzed, "How much was the lost money and recovered money?"
"The robbers took 3 million, and when the case was closed, they recovered about 2 million."
"There's a problem." Xu Cheng immediately continued his analysis, "Logically speaking, after 10 years, if the four of them were drinking and having fun, there's no way they could recover more than 2 million. There's a problem with this number."
"Boss, what do you suspect?" Wu Gang asked curiously.
Xu Cheng took a bite of the burger, chewed, and said, "I suspect that this case forced the higher-ups into a corner and allowed the real culprit to escape."
Li Chao's eyes froze. "What do you mean?"
Xu Cheng: "It's very simple. Twenty years ago, 3 million was a huge amount of money, and 10 years later, the value of 2 million has already depreciated to less than a tenth of what it was in the past. Ten years later, it's a bit impossible to catch four robbers and get 2 million. I'm thinking that these four robbers were probably just scapegoats. You guys carefully compare the heights of the four robbers before and after the case was closed, and no matter how you look at it, there's a discrepancy."
After thinking for a bit, Xu Cheng suddenly said to Li Chao, "Pull out the files of Chang Qing (Azure Dragon), Zhang Guang (Vermilion Bird), Chen Daoxing (White Tiger), and Wang Wei (Black Tortoise)."
Li Chao nodded and quickly pulled out the files of these four people. Xu Cheng directly ordered him, "Simulate the height of these four people and compare them with the four robbers from the crime scene 20 years ago."
Wu Gang and Li Chao looked at each other, and then they tried to calculate the height of the four robbers. At the crime scene, there were cars or bank walls, so they could actually calculate the height of the four robbers. Then, they could use their data to compare with Chang Qing's group.
In the end, Li Chao and the others exclaimed, "Boss, the data match is as high as 95%, and it's not more than 2 centimeters."
Xu Cheng nodded. "That's because these people are getting older, and it's normal for them to shrink in height. Wu Gang, temporarily put down the tracking mission and focus on finding out where this Black Tortoise tattoo from 20 years ago came from. It's best if you can find a witness to prove that the tattoo on Wang Wei's body is the same one that was photographed 20 years ago. "
Wu Gang was a bit excited as he nodded. "Yes, Sir!"
He felt like there was a clue to this case. Before, they were still saying that they didn't know where to start, but who would have thought that in just two days, their boss would lead them to such a crucial clue?
Wait, what do these four robbers or the money robbery case from 20 years ago have to do with West Gate?
Wu Gang, who was about to leave, suddenly reacted and asked, "Boss, aren't we investigating the West Gate Casino's money laundering case? What does it have to do with this case? "
Xu Cheng faintly smiled. "Then we won't investigate anymore. In a week, we will lock down the casino and arrest the robbers!"
Li Chao: "But we don't have any evidence."
Xu Cheng: "In a week, at the tournament, we will take the initiative to reveal all the evidence, and then we will catch them all at once."
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what Xu Cheng was trying to do.
"Okay, thank you all for your hard work tonight. Go back and get a good night's sleep. Wu Gang, you have to investigate everything for me. In a week, everyone listen to my orders. "
Seeing how confident Xu Cheng was, the 10 people all saluted, "Yes, sir!"
Xu Cheng came to the hallway with his burger, picked up his phone, and called Shen Yao. "In a week, come with me to snipe and rob money."
In the middle of the night, Shen Yao originally wanted to scold him for calling her, but when she heard about robbing money, her eyes became a bit more energetic. "Where?"
"West Gate!"
Shen Yao: "Kid, go wash up and sleep."
Xu Cheng: "…"
