Chapter 15 Money Laundering
Liu Kunlun brought the dirty kid back to Dunhuang and wanted to introduce him to a job, but Wei Kang said that the company would not enter the company before the Spring Festival, and he would wait until the New Year, so he invited the dirty kid to eat, drink and have fun one-stop, and slept in the Dunhuang Bath Center at night. He didn't know whether there was any major health care.
The next day, Liu Kunlun handed the Kawasaki 400 motorcycle to Dirty Child to make him enjoy it. He also served a hot pot. After that, he put on his leather jacket and took out a bag of things and handed them over and said, "You go back to find Master Xing and deal with these things."
The dirty kid opened the bag and glanced at it, nodded and said, "I understand, I'll get it and send it back for you."
When the dirty kid was sent home on the bus from the remote suburbs, Liu Kunlun received a call from Wu Gang and told him to do something.
When it was dark, Liu Kunlun drove a land cruiser out of Hongda Building and headed straight to Spark Village in the south of the city. This is one of the most chaotic areas in the near river. It is located at the junction of urban and rural areas, a gathering place for migrant populations, and a densely packed and built rental houses. From here, there is a wasteland, dark and uninhabited, with yellow weeds more than one person tall, and a stinky ditch passes through it. It is said that a residential community will be built here in the future, called the European Garden.
Liu Kunlun parked the car on the construction site in the European Garden, turned off the engine and lights, and sat in the car and waited quietly. Angkor said on the phone that he would come to pick up the goods, and he didn't need to say anything to the other party, just take the things over, don't look at what it was.
After waiting for half an hour, when the agreed time came, two beams of light came, and an off-road vehicle with a raised chassis drove over. The shape was more domineering and fierce than that of a land cruiser, especially the four wide tires and large patterns demonstrated their strong off-road ability. Liu Kunlun had never seen such a car in Omi. He only knew the four letters on the front of the car: JEEP.
The other party did not turn off the lights, and the bright light beam shone on Liu Kunlun's car. He slammed the door and got out of the car in dissatisfaction, blocking his eyes with his hands. The other party said, "It's a replacement, where is Lao Wu?"
Liu Kunlun said: "Angkor is on a business trip, I will take over his work."
The other party said nothing, threw two huge bags on the ground and drove away. Liu Kunlun went to see the back license plate of the jeep, but saw nothing, and the others did not sign at all.
Under the moonlight, two large black canvas travel bags were thrown on the ground. I picked them up and tried them. It was very heavy. Liu Kunlun reversed and moved the two big bags to the car. He drove away from here. He was full of thoughts on the road. Thinking of Brother Kang's explanation and Angkor's instructions, he thought of two villains fighting in his mind. In the end, he turned the steering wheel right, stopped with a brake, climbed behind and opened the zipper of the travel bag.
The things inside shocked him. They were all money! It was not a bundle of banknotes from a brand new bank, but a pile of money tied up with rubber bands. One piece was about one hundred pieces of thickness, most of which were red RMB. Looking down, there were green US dollars and yellow Hong Kong dollars with 500 coupons. A rough estimate was that one pack would have to be about three million, and two packs would be six million!
Liu Kunlun returned to the driver's seat, his heartbeat was accelerating. After thinking for a few minutes, he called Wu Gang first and said that he had received the goods. Angkor replied that he knew, you drive the car back to the company and put the things in the safe.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Kunlun drove back as instructed, dragged two large pockets into the elevator alone in his luggage cart, went to the floor where the company was located, opened the password lock and entered the warehouse, locked the two large bags of banknotes into the safe, locked the doors one by one, went downstairs, and drove his own motorcycle out.
Liu Kunlun drove downstairs to his house before calling Wei Kang, and it took him a long time to answer.
"Brother Kang, I have something to tell you."
"you say."
"I just went to pick up a batch of goods for Angkor... I think something is wrong, I think it's better to talk to you in person."
"Okay, wait for me."
Fifteen minutes later, Wei Kang came hurriedly. As soon as he approached Liu Kunlun, he smelled a scent that did not belong to him. This fragrance belonged to the owner of the bear pendant.
Liu Kunlun felt a huge shock in his heart. He knew very well what this meant.
"Brother, what's going on? Tell me slowly." Wei Kang found that Liu Kunlun's face was strange and spoke to comfort him.
Liu Kunlun lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and told his experience tonight, but Wei Kang was not surprised. He asked, "Analysis what's going on?"
"So much cash will only appear at the drug trafficking scene." Liu Kunlun recalled the drug trading scene in "Infernal Affairs" in his mind and tried to analyze, "But the other party just gave money and did not deliver drugs or other goods. I don't understand, but I can be sure that this is a shameful business."
"You're analyzing it right," said Wei Kang, "It's just a complicated idea. Maybe it's not a transaction, it's just a payment."
"What kind of transactions will it be? Drugs, arms, cultural relics, or intelligence?" Liu Kunlun thrust his eyebrows. The world he imagined was not engaged in these transactions. If Su Rongmao was really a drug lord or an arms dealer, he really didn't know where to go.
"It depends on us to find the truth." Wei Kang put one hand on Liu Kunlun's shoulder and said earnestly, "Brother, your position is very important now. Apart from Wu Gang, the boss trusts you the most. Even me can't do it. I want to ask you now, what do you plan to do if the boss sells drugs?"
"I..." Liu Kunlun was in a mess. Drug trafficking was an unforgivable business, but the boss was as warm and gentle as a kind father. Angkor trusted himself so much, let alone Su Qing, a hero cut off his arm and destroyed his relatives for justice. What he destroyed was not only sin, but also his future.
"Do you want to be a knight or a drug dealer?" Wei Kang asked with a bright look in Liu Kunlun's eyes.
Liu Kunlun closed his eyes, and Tony Leung and Andy Lau in the Infernal Affairs appeared in front of him. If he had been in that position, what would he make a decision?
Wei Kang's voice rang in his ears: "The things that are good for you and the things that are right sometimes don't overlap. You can go back and think about it."
That night, Liu Kunlun tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
...
Two days later, Su Rongmao and Wu Gang returned from Beijing. Liu Kunlun drove to pick him up. Angkor did not mention the huge amount of money. He returned to the company and asked Liu Kunlun to enter the warehouse. The two opened the safe together, took out the two large travel bags, unzipped the zipper, and dumped the entire banknotes on the ground.
"Count." Angkor brought two banknote detectors, a stack of slender kraft paper strips, and taught Liu Kunlun to count money step by step. Every time he spent ten thousand yuan, he tied up the money with a note and covered it with a small stick on it. The sticker was named Zhang Hongmei.
The two large packages of money are 3.5 million yuan, 100,000 US dollars, and 200,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Angkor put the US dollar and Hong Kong dollars separately, put 500,000 yuan into an aluminum alloy box with a password lock, and handed it to Liu Kunlun, and asked him to take it to Dunhuang to hand it over to the Finance Department. From beginning to end, Liu Kunlun didn't ask a word that he knew very well.
Liu Kunlun drove to Dunhuang Finance Department with a password box and saw that there were only two people in the office, Sister Zhang of Finance and Wei Kang.
"Sister Zhang, you go first, and you have to pick up the child." Wei Kang said.
Sister Zhang packed up her things and said hello and got off work.
Wei Kang was resting on the table and filled out a cash payment form from China Construction Bank, the amount was 1.1 million yuan. The cashier's name was Zhang Hongmei, which was the name of Sister Zhang. Then he transferred the banknotes in the box to another box and drove to the Urumqi Road Branch of the China Construction Bank not far away. The bank opened a special window for them to check the money, and 1.15 million yuan was entered into the bank account of Dunhuang Entertainment Center.
After leaving the bank, Wei Kang looked at Liu Kunlun meaningfully: "Do you know what money laundering is?"
Liu Kunlun had heard of the word money laundering, which was to launder illegal black money into legal income, but today he truly understood this process.
If these millions of dollars are drug trafficking or other means, they will pass through Dunhuang, enter the bank account, and then transfer it to Hongda Enterprise's account, and then become clean income.
Dunhuang is a service industry, catering and bathing KTVs. Sometimes catering needs to be opened, but bath centers and KTVs are the main part of the income. Those consumption is difficult to open, and the local tax bureau cannot control it so detailedly. It will not check how many people have done big health care every day, and how many people have ordered a lady to accompany them. Strictly speaking, this is to mix black money into white money.
"It's just money laundering, right?" Liu Kunlun still had a sense of luck. He really didn't want to break his dream. Mr. Su was finished, Dunhuang was finished, and the blueprint of life he built would be finished.
"So we have to find the truth," said Wei Kang. "The next time you may be sent to receive the money, let's cooperate and find out the other party's origin clearly. I'm not relieved."
"What if I find out clearly?" Liu Kunlun threw the most difficult problem to Brother Kang.
Wei Kang obviously considered this issue seriously. He answered without hesitation: "Eliminate the roots, cut off the source, and clear the lord! The boss is still the boss, Dunhuang or Dunhuang, we are still good brothers."
Liu Kunlun nodded vigorously, and it is undeniable that this is the best option. No matter where *mao is in the case, just cut off the other end, just like a loyal minister in ancient times launching a "military remonstrance" to force the big boss back on track. This is better than being taken over by the police. I believe the boss will understand his and Brother Kang's efforts.
He stretched out his hand: "A gentleman's word!"
Wei Kang high-high with him: "High-up horse and whip!"
...
The Duke King shuttled through the river of the car and stopped by the road for a few seconds. A middle-aged man in a windbreaker quickly sat in the back seat. Wei Kang looked at the familiar face in the rearview mirror and said, "Captain, why don't you make an appointment to meet on the rooftop?"
The middle-aged man said, "You have seen too much in the infernal sense. Hong Kong is worth every inch of land. It can avoid people's eyes and ears on the rooftop. Our mainland is very big, so you can meet anywhere."
Wei Kang said: "I'm so impressed. *Mao is indeed laundering money. I suspect it's drug money for drug trafficking.
The middle-aged man said, "You went astray. What you asked you to investigate is his involvement in gangs, tax evasion and murder. What are you investigating drug trafficking? But it's okay. Different ways of going. Just get the same fate. Just get the one named Su. Try digging deeper from the perspective of his mistress. Do you have any more gains?"
Wei Kang said: "Boss Su is actually a good person and is very particular about his subordinates. Except for the suspected drug-related item, no conclusive evidence of his crime was found in other aspects."
The middle-aged man said: "Xiao Wei, this is a big case assigned by the city leaders. Don't be confused in the overall situation. By the way, do you have any needs? The team that can satisfy you will definitely satisfy you."
Wei Kang said: "I want a gun to defend myself."
"Impossible." The middle-aged man refused, "Say something else."
