Chapter 847: Putting a long line to catch big fish

"Through this case, I have summarized an experience. When encountering difficult cases that are helpless, we must neither think too simple nor too complicated." Recalling the scene of investing so many resources to solve the case but not making progress for a long time, Han Bo was filled with emotion.

"No matter who commands the investigation, he will revolve around the victim. Who would have thought that the murderer was an outsider who had almost nothing to do with the victim." Xu Qingguo nodded with a deep opinion of his face.

No wonder he can take up a deputy bureau-level leadership position at such a young age, and has rich case handling experience.

Director Wang secretly praised one, lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, pondering in the smoke, saying, "Xiao Han, I won't arrest you for the time being, creating favorable conditions for solving the Wu Cheng case. Isn't this risk a bit big?"

Even though she knew that Jiang Lan was a murderer, she personally took her to the train. What if she ran away for fear of crime?

Han Bo certainly knew how much risk there was, but there was no way to do so. He quickly explained: "Longhua District is so far from Anbao District, and the news media has not reported the Lu Lu case. When summoning relevant personnel, the case handlers did not mention the murder of Lu Lu. The news was asymmetric, so for us, these are two murder cases, and it is just one for the suspects suspected of killing Wu Cheng and creating the illusion of drowning."

"The Municipal Bureau Forensic Appraisal Center and the Longhua Branch Criminal Police Brigade issued an appraisal report. Wu Cheng's body has been cremated, and Wu Cheng's relatives have returned with their ashes. The police officers of Longhua Branch who participated in the investigation have returned to their respective units. It can be said that Wu Cheng's affairs have come to an end. It should be able to let the murderer breathe and let the murderer relax his vigilance."

Qiu Dahai didn't privately ask Ding Xinqiang for investigation into the progress of the case investigation, and did not know much about Wu Cheng's affairs. He couldn't help but ask: "Director Han, since the murderer who killed Wu Cheng may not necessarily know the Lu Lu case, why can't we arrest Jiang Lan?"

"If Wu Cheng's death is related to Huang Jiahui, it is hard to say whether she will inquire about the news through Jiang Lan. She knows the phone number of Jiang Lan's family."

"It has been more than a week since Wu Cheng's body was discovered. Has she contacted Jiang Lan during this period?"

"No."

Han Bo shook his head and analyzed it with a deception: "From receiving the bad news of Wu Cheng's drowning and Shenzheng's recognition of the body, the moment he saw Huang Jiahui in Longhua Branch, Jiang Lan should have realized that she had killed the wrong person last time when she came to Shenzheng, so she was very unstable at the time and fought against Huang Jiahui while the police were not paying attention.

She suffered such a big loss, logically speaking, she shouldn't make things boring, but if Wu Cheng's death was related to her, she would be completely likely to contact Jiang Lan. Because when she was asked, she acted generously about being beaten and scolded, pretending to be very self-blame and apologizing to Jiang Lan."

Let a murderer wander around outside, even if she is a woman and is unlikely to cause harm to society, Wang Dong was still uneasy and looked up and said, "Can you take compulsory measures against Jiang Lan in Dongshan? The facts are clear and the evidence is conclusive. She should not be lucky. As long as she defeats her psychological defense line, the next thing will be easier."

"Director Wang, I have also thought about this. The key is that we should not only consider the possibility of Huang Jiahui contacting Jiang Lan, but also do some articles on several works of Wu Cheng. Next, we will auction the existing three paintings. Jiang Lan is the owner of the three paintings, and her true character is better. In addition, the investigation found that Jiang Lan and Wu Cheng's parents were also tense. If the three paintings can be sold successfully, the Wu family will definitely have profit-related demands."

Taking compulsory measures against Jiang Lan does not mean that Jiang Lan can be deprived of ownership of the three paintings.

Because of money, the family can turn against each other.

Once that happens, the news of Jiang Lan's arrest will definitely not be hidden, and the murderer will definitely be alert.

"Can those three paintings be auctioned off?" Qiu Dahai asked.

"Wu Cheng owed so much foreign debts during his lifetime. What can he repay if he didn't auction three paintings? How will Jiang Lan and his son live in the future? For us, auction is also imperative, because the transaction price of these three paintings can directly affect the value of more than 30 paintings. The murderer cannot give up halfway. He will pay attention to the auction process and even bid to raise the price."

Compared with the Lu Lu case, the Wu Cheng case is much more difficult to solve.

The body was soaked in Guanlan River for so long, and even the scene of falling into the water was not found. There was no evidence such as fingerprints, DNA, footprints, witnesses, etc. Even if you know who the murderer was, it would be difficult to bring him to justice. Such cases must be cautious and cautious.

Wang Dong weighed it and agreed: "Since all the signs indicate that Wu Cheng died by killing him, let's take a long line to catch big fish, but Jiang Lan must keep an eye on it and must not let her leave our sight."

"Don't worry, Director Wang, I have arranged someone and coordinated with Dongshan colleagues. The local public security bureau will assist us in keeping abreast of Jiang Lan."

When should we keep an eye on it? Xu Qingguo, who has always been accustomed to "quick investigation and quick resolution", thinks it is not very reliable, but considering that he can only do this to solve the Wu Cheng case, he did not object, but asked thoughtfully: "Director Han, Jiang Lan knows that she has killed the wrong person. Will she run to Shenzheng to find Huang Jiahui again?"

"The possibility is not high. Although Jiang Lan is a man with a strong temperament and has no education, it can be seen from the process of killing Lu Lu. She was a little scheming. She used the excuse of returning to her hometown to be busy with farming and quietly bought tickets to Shenzheng to catch the traitor. No one knows about the relatives and friends who come to Shenzheng."

Han Bo coughed dryly, cleared his throat, and then said, "After receiving bad news, Shenzheng realized that he had killed the wrong person, for fear that the investigators would see something, and she cried all day long. Of course, her husband's death was indeed a big blow to her. But when our investigators asked questions about the Lu Lu case, she naturally pretended to be very painful, and even fainted to avoid those problems. Killing people is not a chicken, she must be very regretful and afraid now. Even Shenzheng may not dare to come again, let alone go to Huang Jiahui."

...

Leaders support, everything acts as planned.

Chang Caiyan, like Chen Yulin, "sympathizes" with Jiang Lan's experience, and pays great attention to the preparations for oil painting auctions.

I went to the gallery once and met a friend in the art circle. Li Xiaolei also developed a strong interest in art collection and investment, but it was just an interest, but I didn't expect to really collect and invest.

"Mr. Li Ran's "The Mountains of Red" started with 58 million yuan. After dozens of rounds of competition from many buyers, it was finally sold for more than 100 million yuan. This is too exaggerated!" On the way to the airport, Li Xiaolei was half lying in the passenger seat and looked at Chen Yulin giving her a professional magazine.

"Mr. Li studied under Qi Baishi and was a real master." Han Bo is also interested in art investment and collection. He has done a lot of homework these days, not only to solve the Wu Cheng case, but also to study the issue of using art to launder money that Wu Xingwei reminded.

"So what about the master? Isn't it just a painting?" Li Xiaolei put down the magazine and muttered: "It's really a top scholar in every industry, and it's too easy for a well-known painter to make money."

"It's easy to make money with celebrities?"

Han Bo asked back and sighed: "And painters are different from painters. Mr. Li's painting costs hundreds of millions of yuan, but Mr. Li passed away in 1989. The painting that just sold at a sky-high price is almost nothing to do with Mr. Li and even the Li family, no matter how much it is now or more than ten years ago."

"It doesn't matter, what does it mean?" Li Xiaolei really didn't know these situations.

"As early as more than 40 years ago, Rong Baozhai only spent 80 yuan to buy Mr. Li's painting, and it was not sold by Mr. Li, so he personally didn't get a penny. Now he has sold more than 100 million yuan in a sky-high price, and it also has nothing to do with the old man's family."

"This...this is too..."

"What's so? A painter is not a composer. The copyright of the painting is in whoever he sells it. No matter how expensive the painter sells it, the painter will not get a penny."

The more Li Xiaolei thought about it, the more depressed the Li family, and suddenly said: "80 yuan becomes more than one billion yuan, and the investment income is too outrageous."

"Who made our Chinese economy develop so fast and the art market so popular?"

Han Bo is not jealous of how much money others make by investing in art, but is only worried about the almost out of control art market, and says helplessly: "It's nothing to benefit from collecting Mr. Li's paintings, because Mr. Li's works are worth the money, and the most terrifying thing is to launder money through art works.

Capital always follows the government and the people. The essence of art money laundering is that capital controls the art market. In a sense, it can also be understood as a kind of looting. For example, the recent hot Yuluns couple started cashing out in the auction market in 2009, and now they have taken at least one billion yuan. They even obtained a private art museum of 5,000 square meters and HK$177 million in half-sell and half-gift transactions with an art museum."

"That couple in Belgium collector?"

"Well, in the 1990s, when they came to China to 'shop for a bargain price, they collected a lot of Chinese calligraphy and painting works in the Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing dynasties, as well as a large number of contemporary artworks. Even Song Huizong's "Sketching Rare Birds" were bought by them. Now they are starting to cash out. What is the difference between this and looting?"

Han Bo patted the steering wheel and sighed: "What is most worrying is that the international art capital hidden behind them will also loot China's wealth in this way. Therefore, the most important thing in regulating money laundering for art is to prevent the risks brought by the financialization and monetization of art.

If art can be hyped up to sky-high prices, then use this bunch of bubbles to raise funds, make loans, and then go to speculate on land, stocks, garlic and mung beans, it will become a thorough speculative market. In fact, the Chinese art world has been deeply affected by hype, noisy and impetuous, and sticking to art seems a bit out of place or even stupid."
