Chapter 035 Liu Sir, compared to him, you are far more noble.
"What, Inspector Liu, are you interested in this money too?"
Faced with Chen Piao's question, Liu Jianming immediately waved his hand in denial.
"Brother Piao, I know that since you came to my door, you must have a way to get this money."
However, I'm just kindly reminding you that this money is easy to earn but hard to spend. Once you have it, it might turn out to be a curse, a hot potato!
Chen Piao frowned slightly: "I'd like to hear Inspector Liu's opinion!"
"That's right. When the armored truck was robbed, Bank of America immediately handed over the banknote serial numbers to Interpol."
Of this 100 million in cash, 80 million were newly issued banknotes with consecutive serial numbers.
In other words, as soon as a consecutively numbered banknote appears in circulation, Interpol will immediately follow the trail and investigate until they find you!
Liu Jianming took a sip of coffee as he spoke, looking at Chen Piao with a serious expression.
"That's why this money is hard to spend, and no one dares to launder it for you!"
If the robbers hadn't destroyed this money, it would have been a death warrant, worth less than a pile of waste paper!
Chen Piao nodded in agreement, then immediately posed a question.
"Inspector Liu, you just said that this money is mixed with consecutive new bills, which means it's perfectly fine to use the older bills?"
Liu Jianming was somewhat surprised, but still answered truthfully.
"That's the theory, but finding 20 million old bills out of 100 million US dollars is no small task!"
And there's no guarantee you won't make a mistake with a single card; that would be a huge problem...
"Who said I needed to find those twenty million old bills? I just need to know that those twenty million are mixed in, and make sure that Bank of America can't recall and void the new bills!"
Chen Piao chuckled softly as he spoke, his voice inevitably lowering.
"Liu sir, what if the robbers split up and fled with this batch of money, and one group was cornered by the police and then detonated the vehicle?"
Meanwhile, another group, having exhausted all other options, scattered tens of millions of dollars in cash in a building in Tsim Sha Tsui. How would Bank of America handle this situation?
Liu Jianming suddenly realized what Chen Piao meant.
If a group of robbers detonates a vehicle with money, destroying some of the banknotes, then the account cannot be verified.
Meanwhile, another group of robbers will scatter money from a building with high foot traffic, which will inevitably cause a large-scale looting frenzy among the citizens!
However, with the police maintaining order, some of this money will be recovered by American banks, while some will be hidden by citizens.
In this way, the number of banknotes would not match up at all, and the consecutive banknotes would become completely meaningless!
US dollars are hard currency, and over time, these banknotes will naturally circulate in Hong Kong Island. By then, the police will no longer be able to use consecutive banknotes to continue searching for clues.
Millions of dollars in cash were scattered and ended up in the hands of citizens. Each banknote went through countless hands.
We can't just arrest all the citizens of Hong Kong Island and accuse them of being robbers, can we?
"Brother Piao, if the two prerequisites you just mentioned can be met, then the remaining money can indeed be laundered."
But it's easier said than done. Both of your conditions seem quite difficult. Do you think the robbers would risk their lives to play along with your act?
"I have my own plans for this. I will let you know in advance when I need your help."
Don't worry, I won't make you do anything difficult. It's just a normal police deployment; you just need to give instructions!
Chen Piao finished the warm coffee in one gulp, then pulled out a tissue to wipe his mouth.
He looked at Lau Kin-ming and then said, "Inspector Lau, could you please get me some paper and pen? I'll write down what you want for you!"
Is the highly anticipated main event finally about to begin?
Unable to hide his excitement, Liu Jianming quickly found paper and pen for Chen Piao.
Chen Piao carefully wrote the three characters "Tiger Cub" on the paper, one stroke at a time.
However, he didn't explain further, and then wrote a name at the bottom of the paper that made Liu Jianming's jaw drop—Zhang Wenyao!
"Which Zhang Wenyao is it?!"
"How many Zhang Wenyaos are left in your Bay Area? Liu sir, think back to when you deployed so many police officers, why did you still let that gang of robbers escape?"
"If there wasn't an inside contact within the police force, would they have been able to escape?"
wow-
Liu Jianming snatched the paper, stood up, and trembled with excitement.
As an intelligence officer, Liu Jianming had put in a lot of hard work on this case.
Because of his position, he had suspected that there was an informant within the police force, but he never expected that this informant would be Senior Superintendent Cheung Man-Yiu of the Bay Area Major Crimes Unit!
"Brother Piao, is the information reliable?"
This is no laughing matter; falsely accusing a high-ranking officer is a very serious crime!
"Whether he's reliable or not, you'll know after watching him for a few days."
Inspector Lau, I know that the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) sometimes has to borrow advanced equipment from your intelligence division to conduct investigations. Listening to Cheung Man Yiu shouldn't be a difficult task for you, right?
I guarantee you'll find out then that you're far more noble than him!
As Chen Piao spoke, he took out a cigarette and lit it.
"However, I suggest you don't make any moves that might alert them. Let me explain the specifics to you first."
"Tomorrow at daybreak, you go first..."
The two discussed the matter until 11 p.m. before Chen Piao left Liu Jianming's residence.
Watching Chen Piao's retreating figure as she stepped off the elevator, Liu Jianming couldn't help but feel ashamed.
He now doubts whether this guy is a policeman or not, and he can't figure out how Chen Piao came up with those elaborate schemes to deceive everyone!
……
The next day, just as dawn broke, Chen Piao received a phone call from Lin Huaile.
The other party then asked him to meet at Baohua Teahouse, saying that the top boss of the plane had come looking for him and wanted Chen Piao to settle the matter of the plane and give him an explanation.
An old fox is an old fox; he clearly wanted to use this as an excuse to make a fuss, but he insisted on bringing it up and exposing it.
Chen Piao knew what was going on, so he simply said he would go there right away.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Piao didn't leave immediately. He pulled out a contact book and found Sha Qiang's number.
beep--
After a few pager beeps, the phone was answered, and Sha Qiang's somewhat weary voice came through the receiver.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Shaqiang, what did the doctor say when you went to the hospital to check your injury yesterday?"
"It's Piao-ge! Thank you for your concern. The doctor said it's just a dislocated hand bone, and he'll be fine after a few days of rest!"
"Go to the hospital right now and find the doctor who treated your injury yesterday. Figure out how to deal with him yourself."
In short, no matter who asks, tell them your injury is as serious as possible, preferably the kind that leaves you half-dead!
Sha Qiang couldn't help but become alert: "Brother Piao, is the gang causing you trouble?"
"It's not about causing trouble, it's just that I need you to cooperate in the performance."
"But...but I'm afraid I'll ruin the performance for you...Brother Piao, how am I supposed to act with only half a life left?"
"Figure it out yourself! If you can't act it out, I can call someone to help you."
"Beat you until you're practically half-dead, then you'll know how to do anything!"
Seeing that Sha Qiang wanted to play dumb and shirk responsibility, Chen Piao didn't indulge him.
He gave a direct warning and hung up the phone, then grabbed his coat, put it on, and headed towards Yau Ma Tei.
