Chapter 893 Fraud
Next, Deputy Director Li brought a few people to the monitoring room and began to check the surveillance cameras in various locations in Liuxing Town.

Then Deputy Director Li introduced:

"Look, based on the information you provided, we found that this car entered a surveillance blank area and never came out again."

Cao Jianjun asked doubtfully, "Is his home in that area? What is there in that area?"

Deputy Director Li nodded seriously and said:

"According to the information we have, this is a residential area where people from three nearby villages who have changed their jobs from farmers to non-farmers have moved in, and some people who work in the city rent the area. Although the residents are mixed, there are not many cases of petty theft."

Cao Jianjun speculated: "Maybe he was working in the city, and it was almost the New Year, so he stole something when he went home."

Deputy Director Li nodded, and then continued to analyze:
"If he is like the one you introduced, he should be a veteran. Our police station basically knows all the veterans, but there doesn't seem to be any in that area."

Zhang Zhijie shook his head and said, "Maybe he is a fish that slipped through the net? Otherwise, let's go to that area and look for him?"

Deputy Director Li stood up and said, "Okay, let's go and take a look!"

When they arrived at the place, Deputy Director Li said:

"How can we check it? There are a lot of private cars of this model, and we can't confirm the license plate number!"

Zhao Jiwei said: "He covered the license plate number, and it is very likely a fake license plate. Let's write down the same model number and ask the traffic police to help check it."

"Not only that!" Lin Hao also smiled and nodded, saying: "Don't forget, there is a crack on the front windshield of this car. Our next task is to find a car of this model. If there is one, it will be our target!"

After that, a group of more than a dozen people, including personnel sent by the local police station, put on plain clothes and began the search in a low-key manner in order not to alert the enemy.

Only five or six minutes later, I received news from Zhao Jiwei.

"Chief Lin, please come over here. I think I have sent that car." Zhao Jiwei said excitedly.

Lin Hao asked: "Are you sure?"

Zhao Jiwei said excitedly: "It's definitely him! The license plate number is Qi C43205, which has appeared in the stolen community before. There are also cracks on the front windshield of the car, and the person, everything matches!"

Lin Hao immediately said: "Okay, keep an eye on it first, don't alert the enemy, we will be there soon."

A few minutes later, Lin Hao arrived at the scene, looked at the car and confirmed that it was the one driven by the suspect. That made things easy.

Ten minutes later, police officers from the local community and police station arrived at the suspect's home.

Zhao Jiwei then disguised himself as an employee of a natural gas company and tricked the suspect into opening his door on the pretext of checking natural gas safety.

As soon as the door opened, Zhao Jiwei kicked it and the suspect was knocked down.

Before the suspect could react, Zhao Jiwei pounced on him and controlled him.

Cao Jianjun, who originally wanted to pounce on him, paused in daze when he saw Zhao Jiwei's active performance.

Because he seemed to see his younger self in Zhao Jiwei, who was so passionate and eager to show himself.

Seeing the suspect being controlled by Zhao Jiwei, Cao Jianjun laughed and then stepped forward to help, no longer thinking of taking credit for the work.

Zhao Jiwei easily captured the suspect. When he returned, Zhao Jiwei was laughing foolishly the whole time. Lin Hao knew why he was like that.

He is somewhat similar to Cao Jianjun in that both are eager to express themselves. Unlike Wang Shouyi who suppresses this behavior, Lin Hao feels that it should be done through guidance and communication rather than brutal suppression.

The 100-day no-burglary campaign finally had a perfect result.

This time, Zhao Jiwei also made a name for himself. From reporting the case to tracking down clues, and finally catching the thief personally, his performance was very outstanding. With proper guidance, I believe he will soon become an excellent policeman.

Lin Hao was quite satisfied with this, especially since the arrest was very quick and not as troublesome as in the drama.

In the drama, it took two days to find the suspect after the first report was received, and then they were one step too slow, allowing the suspect to run back to his hometown.

During the Chinese New Year, in order to ensure a successful conclusion to the 100-day anti-burglary campaign, police officers from Balihe Police Station went to Xianren’s hometown and waited there until New Year’s Eve before they caught the man.

This time, the suspect was captured in Liuxing Town before he returned to his hometown.

We received the call on the same day and solved the case on the same day, leaving no chance for the suspect to escape, which saved a lot of trouble.

In the evening, the director was very happy because he had maintained the record of 100 days without burglary, so he held a special dinner party in the station, which could be regarded as a gathering of everyone before the New Year.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, a few of them put their arms around each other and sang loudly "Young Man Has Great Ambition and No Worries".

Wang Shouyi stood up with a beaming smile and said:
"I want to say a few words. Thank you everyone. We received the call, solved the case, and arrested the suspect on the same day. Our Balihe Police Station's 100-day no-burglary campaign has been successful. Our Balihe Golden Body has not been broken into."

"It is understood that during this 6-day campaign, there were no burglaries in the city, or there were burglaries, but only six cases were solved. Balihe is definitely in the top ten!"

"Good!" Everyone cheered upon hearing this.

After everyone calmed down, Wang Shouyi reminded:

"However, don't be happy too soon. The 100-day no-burglary campaign is coming to an end, but after the Chinese New Year, the special campaign against telecommunications fraud will start soon, so don't be careless."

"Next, I wish you all a good meal and a good drink. OK, I won't say any more!"

"Okay, cheers!" Then there was another round of cheers from the audience, and then, led by Wang Shouyi, they sang together.

······
In the blink of an eye, the New Year has passed and new work at Balihe Police Station has begun.

At the plenary session, Wang Shouyi said:

"The year has passed, and the special campaign against telecommunications fraud has begun. This time, the economic investigation department has guided us to set up a special task force!"

"This time, Chief Lin will be the commander and he will be the one to call the troops. If you have any questions, please report them to the task force immediately!"

After Wang Shouyi finished speaking, Lin Hao took out his notebook and said:

"Since the institute has assigned me to be the general, I will recruit the soldiers!"

"Since the director has spoken, I will take over this job. I will call on the troops and generals. Zhao Jiwei, Li Dawei, Yang Shu, Xia Jie, and Sun Qiancheng~!"

Before he finished speaking, Cheng Hao, Chen Xincheng and Cao Jianjun all looked up and stared at Lin Hao.

Seeing this, Lin Hao smiled and said:

"What are you looking at? Are you afraid that I will steal your apprentice? I just saw that a few new recruits performed well. It just so happened that the special task force was established, so I transferred them over to give them a good training. It can also be regarded as helping you train your apprentice."

"Are you guys willing to go?" he said, looking at the three people.

For the newcomers, running field work and dealing with trivial matters every day have long been unbearable. When they heard that they could join the task force, who wouldn’t be happy?
The person who was called nodded hurriedly:
"Lin, I do!"

"Brother Lin, I do!" Cheng Hao, Chen Xincheng, and Cao Jianjun all laughed and shook their heads when they saw the newcomers.

Afterwards, everyone discussed online fraud for a while, and Wang Shouyi said with emotion:
"Times are changing so fast. When I first became a police officer, I taught people anti-fraud knowledge, such as being careful to observe and not to be fooled by the other party's sweet talk."

"But now all the money has been scammed, and we don't know where the scammer is. But the devil is always better than the truth, so let's work hard."

All the police officers said in unison: "We will definitely work hard!"

Wang Shouyi raised his hands and said, "The meeting is adjourned."

In Lin Hao's office, Li Dawei, Zhao Jiwei, Yang Shu, and three auxiliary police officers were sorting out and analyzing the telecommunications fraud cases they had received.

An hour later, Lin Hao said, "Jiwei, tell me about your sorting first!"

Zhao Jiwei subconsciously stood up and answered, and Lin Hao waved his hand and asked him to sit down.

Then Zhao Jiwei quickly said:
"The station has received a total of 32 telecom fraud cases, and so far only two have been solved, and the money that was defrauded has been transferred. For the rest, we either cannot track down the perpetrators, or if we do track down the perpetrators, they are abroad."

Lin Hao looked at Li Dawei who was still reading the information and asked, "Dawei, tell me what you think!"

Li Dawei looked at the information in his hand and said:
"I think a lot of these cases have one thing in common, high interest rates to deceive people. When it comes to using high interest rates to deceive people, it really doesn't matter whether you are old or young, north or south, no one will not be deceived. If people are not greedy for money, then they will not be deceived, right?"

Lin Hao nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, when huge profits are placed in front of us, how many people can withstand the temptation, and how many people can distinguish the real from the fake."

After saying that, Lin Hao looked at the others and said, "If you have any other ideas, please share them together."

Zhao Jiwei immediately said: "I suggest that we classify the cases into categories and solve the easy ones first!"

Li Dawei shook his head and said, "Which one is easy? Neither one is easy."

Just as he said this, Sun Qiancheng suddenly ran in and put his phone directly in front of Lin Hao:

"Director Lin, 110 just transferred a call to the police. Someone called from abroad to report that there is a high possibility that someone in our jurisdiction is going to livestream his suicide."

"Suicide? And in our jurisdiction!" Lin Hao was surprised when he heard this, and then he remembered the case in the drama.

Lin Hao looked down at the several photos of girls on his phone. These were selfies, and one could see that the girl was fat and was sitting on the edge of a building. There was another photo that showed the surrounding scenery, and one could tell that the floor was very high.

Li Dawei stretched his head to look at the photo and asked curiously, "He said it was in our jurisdiction? How did he know about it when he was abroad?"

Sun Qiancheng immediately said: "He was at Milijian and saw on Weibo that this girl said she wanted to commit suicide and even posted a selfie."

"I asked the girl a few questions through private chat and concluded that she might be in our jurisdiction. I am chatting with her now to buy time. I hope we can find her as soon as possible."

Lin Hao nodded and said to Sun Qiancheng:
“Send the photos to each group and ask everyone to check in their own areas to see if they can find the girl’s location or home.”

"Sun Qiancheng, you can't relax here either. See if you can get the other party to get the girl's phone number."

Sun Qiancheng nodded and said, "Okay, Chief Lin, I'll go right away!"

Lin Hao looked at Zhao Jiwei, Li Dawei and Yang Shu again.

"This is an urgent matter, and the task force is not that anxious. You can each find your own masters. They are knowledgeable and often hang around nearby. See if they can help!"

"Okay, Chief Lin!"

"Okay, Brother Lin!"

A few minutes later, several police cars rushed out of the police station.

Lin Hao did not steal the limelight this time. In fact, he did not know where the girl jumped off the building. Although this plot was included in the drama, who cares about it?

As for Chen Xincheng, the place where the girl jumped from was the same building where he was punished for jumping from a building that year.

With the help of this opportunity, Chen Xincheng opened up his heart, which is quite commendable. So let's give him the chance.

On the other side, Chen Xincheng sat in the passenger seat, looking over and over again at the photos on his phone.

Li Dawei said while driving:
"Master, what's going on? We're investigating a fraud case, but we can't find the scammer. Now someone jumps off a building, but we can't find him! How come we don't know any information? Where can we find him?"

However, at this time, Chen Xincheng seemed not to have heard what Li Dawei said, because the incident of the girl jumping off the building seemed to have opened up his memory.

The past flashed through his mind again and again like a movie. At that time, Chen Xincheng rushed towards a girl sitting on the edge of the building and grabbed the girl's hand tightly.

He rubbed his wrist back and forth on the edge of the building, and the blood dyed the edge of the building red. The girl struggled desperately in his hand.

Chen Xincheng's veins were exposed and he yelled, "Live! You must live!"

The girl only left him a desperate face, still struggling in his hands, but finally, the girl's hand broke free from his hands.

Chen Xincheng was clinging to the roof, staring blankly at the girl falling rapidly. He heard a dull sound, and he suddenly fell on the edge of the building, pounding the edge that was stained red with his blood.

Just as Chen Xincheng was immersed in past memories, Li Dawei's voice came over: "Master! Are you okay?"

Chen Xincheng woke up from his memories, his eyes moistened as he said, "I'm fine!"

As he spoke, Chen Xincheng took out his cell phone and looked at the photos on it over and over again.

Suddenly, Chen Xincheng's eyes flashed, and he said excitedly: "Xinxing Garden!"

"Xinxing Garden?" Li Dawei asked puzzledly, then looked at Chen Xincheng's mobile phone.

Chen Xincheng ignored Li Dawei and quickly took out the intercom and said:

"038 report, 038 report, the location of the suicide should be in Xinxing District, between buildings 22 and 25, and should be on the top floor. We will give you the location as soon as possible, over!"

"Master, how do you know everything so clearly?" Li Dawei asked doubtfully, and suddenly understood:

"Master, is this neighborhood like it was back then~!"

Before Li Dawei could finish his question, Chen Xincheng said calmly, "Yes, it's right here."

Then he pointed to the upper right corner of the photo and said, "Do you see the TV tower next to it? That's the coordinate."

Li Dawei turned his head and took a look. They were actually in the same place. Thinking of his master's knot in his heart, Li Dawei felt mixed emotions.

As he spoke, Chen Xincheng started calling the property management of the community.

"Hello, are you Manager Yuan from Xinxing Community? I am Chen Xincheng from Balihe Police Station."

"Tell Captain Wu to bring more security guards, and ask you to bring a few more property people to wait for me at your west gate. I'll be there soon."
