Chapter 200 Asset Transfer
After receiving Gao Qiqiang's call, Qi Tongwei was shocked and a layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.
I didn't expect Chen Tai to be so cunning. He attracted attention in prison and arranged for his confidants to transfer assets.
If I really let him transfer his assets overseas, I would be in big trouble and it would definitely affect my next promotion.
Thinking of this, he immediately called Guo Wenjian and took quick action to arrest the relevant personnel.
With the cooperation of Gao Qiqiang, Chen Tai's butler Wu Quan and all those who cooperated with him in transferring assets overseas were successfully captured.
After all the personnel were arrested, Qi Tongwei breathed a sigh of relief and immediately made an application to freeze the funds of Jinghai Construction Group and Chen Tai's personal assets.
At this time, there was only a short period of one month left in the deadline given by Secretary Li, and Qi Tongwei decided to interrogate Wu Quan in person.
In the interrogation room, Qi Tongwei stared at Wu Quan with a serious face and asked directly: "Wu Quan, tell me, was it Chen Tai who instructed you to do all this, or did you make the decision on your own?"
Qi Tongwei stared at Wu Quan closely, his eyes as sharp as a knife, as if they could penetrate Wu Quan's heart.
However, Wu Quan just looked at Qi Tongwei indifferently, and then replied calmly: "Don't waste your time, I won't say anything. The worst that can happen is that you will be sentenced to a few years in jail."
His tone was firm and resolute, as if he had already prepared himself mentally.
"How many years in prison? It seems I need to give you some legal knowledge." Qi Tongwei chuckled, as if he had heard the funniest joke.
He said slowly: "Transferring assets abroad needs to be approved by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, and privately transferring assets across borders can be classified as money laundering.
If you don't say anything, we can only assume that you transferred the assets belonging to Chen Tai without permission, and this behavior is called theft.
If the amount of theft is especially huge or there are other especially serious circumstances, the offender shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than ten years or life imprisonment, and shall also be fined or have his property confiscated.
You stole huge amounts of assets and transferred them overseas, which is an aggravating circumstance, and you refused to cooperate with the police investigation. What do you think the court will rule?
Let me tell you the answer, it must be life imprisonment and confiscation of all assets.
It will only take a few years at most, you think it's nice.
Life imprisonment plus confiscation of all assets, I wonder how you will live the rest of your life and face your wife and children?"
Qi Tongwei's voice became louder and louder. As Wu Quan listened to him, his face became paler and paler, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
He didn't expect his behavior to be so serious that he would be sentenced to life imprisonment!
Qi Tongwei looked at his reaction and was very satisfied.
It seems that my words hit his sore spot and there is hope of defeating him.
In order to arrest Wu Quan as soon as possible, Qi Tongwei continued: "You still have a chance to confess and get leniency, but once you are convicted, your life will be completely over.
You have to understand that if you cooperate with Chen Tai in transferring assets, you will not be involved in theft and the only charge left is money laundering.
As for money laundering, you are just an accomplice. If you can take the initiative to confess the problem and make meritorious contributions while serving your sentence, according to the current law, your sentence will be five to ten years.
If you can make great achievements, you will most likely be sentenced to five years in prison. If you can reform yourself well in prison, you may be released in three or four years.
I have explained the pros and cons clearly, and you should think carefully about what to do. "
Qi Tongwei's words weighed on Wu Quan's heart like a nightmare. After hearing them, he could no longer remain calm and said tremblingly, "I'll tell you everything!"
Qi Tongwei nodded with satisfaction, indicating that he could start telling the story.
So Wu Quan explained in detail the matter of transferring assets.
All of this was done under the instructions of Chen Tai, and the financial personnel involved were also arranged by Chen Tai himself.
Chen Tai’s purpose was very clear, which was to ensure that he could leave the country quickly after being released from prison.
Qi Tongwei asked curiously, "Why is Chen Tai so eager to leave? What rumors has he heard?"
Wu Quan thought for a moment and replied, "The boss thought you were coming with a threatening attitude and seemed unfriendly, so he planned to flee with the money."
Qi Tongwei secretly felt lucky that he took action in time. If it was any later, it would have been difficult to catch Chen Tai.
Then, he asked with a fluke mentality: "Do you have any evidence of Chen Tai's bribery and illegal activities?"
Wu Quan shook his head, indicating that he had no such evidence.
However, he told Qi Tongwei a key piece of information: Chen Tai would return to his hometown every half a month, but he never allowed anyone to follow him into his old house, perhaps there would be some unexpected gains there.
Qi Tongwei had a strong intuition that evidence of the crimes committed by Chen Tai and his accomplices must be hidden there.
After the interrogation, Wu Quan told him another clue, claiming that a deputy director of the Public Security Bureau named Shen often called Chen Tai, and it was he who helped arrange for Cheng Cheng to take the blame for Chen Tai.
Qi Tongwei, with excitement, summoned An Changlin, Guo Wenjian, Dudu and others to the criminal investigation operations room.
“Wu Quan has said that Chen Tai can’t get out for a while.
There is another new situation. That is, Chen Tai returns to his hometown once every half a month and does not allow anyone to follow him into the old house. I think there must be Chen Tai’s secret hidden in it.
Lao An, you are a careful and experienced person. You should take people to Chen Tai's hometown and bring Gao Qiqiang with you. We should conduct the search under the witness of the family members to prevent anyone from making irresponsible remarks. "
Everyone laughed when these words were spoken. Everyone here knew that Gao Qiqiang was an undercover agent arranged by Qi Tongwei.
After everyone stopped laughing, Qi Tongwei continued, "Old Guo, Wu Quan has revealed a new situation. There is something fishy about Cheng Cheng taking the blame. Our people helped him do it. Go and verify this matter."
After listening for a while, Qi Tongwei finally said, "Please suspend Deputy Director Shen's work for now and wait until the investigation is over before resuming work."
Everyone fell silent after these words were spoken, and everyone understood what Qi Tongwei meant.
"Pa pa..." Qi Tongwei clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention.
He said seriously, "Okay, don't think too much! The case is the most important thing now, and we can't be distracted.
To a certain extent, you lead your men to closely monitor those people who are closely related to the case to ensure that their every move is under control.
At the same time, we must always be prepared to arrest these key figures and never let them escape.”
As Qi Tongwei's orders were issued, the atmosphere in the conference room became tense.
Everyone understands that this campaign to crack down on gangsters and eliminate evil has entered a critical moment.
At dawn, it is the time when mistakes are most likely to occur, and any mistake may result in all previous efforts being wasted. Everyone has to cheer up and ensure that nothing goes wrong.
After the meeting, Qi Tongwei decided to meet Chen Tai.
If Chen Tai's hometown really contained evidence that he was going to use to blackmail Huang Yanjun and others, then Chen Tai would definitely feel flustered when faced with such a situation.
It is still unknown whether meeting him at this time will bring unexpected gains.
Qi Tongwei came to the place where Chen Tai was imprisoned and met him again. He found that Chen Tai's face had aged a lot, but his mental state was still good.
Qi Tongwei got straight to the point and said, "Chen Tai, this is the second time we've met, right? Although we've met before, we've never had a chance to have a good chat. Today happens to be a good time, so we can have a heart-to-heart talk."
Chen Tai sat opposite Qi Tongwei, his eyes revealing a hint of defensiveness, and replied: "Secretary Qi, I have told Officer Cheng everything I need to say. There is really nothing more to say."
