Chapter 895 Clues
"This is an online scam." Lin Hao sighed and said:

"Not only that, these fraud organizations also brainwash the fraudsters, turning killing into a normal job and humanizing the people being killed."

"Moreover, the Internet separates them from their victims. For them, deceiving people is their normal job, and the victims have been objectified by them like pigs."

"For them, the more they cheat, the better their KPIs are. They don't feel like they are committing a crime, so they don't feel any moral guilt."

Wang Shouyi said seriously:

"So, we must find them and bring them to Wu Yu, so that they can confess and apologize in front of the victim! Let them know how serious the consequences they have caused are and what a heavy price they will have to pay!"

Then he looked at Lin Hao and said, "Chief Lin, I don't care how many of the 32 telecom fraud cases were solved, or even if none were solved, and I don't care how much of the money Wu Yu was defrauded of can be recovered."

"But I ask you to find all the criminals in this case and bring them back to Wu Yu to face the law."

Lin Hao said solemnly: "Yes!"

······
After the meeting, Lin Hao immediately returned to the task force office and assigned tasks to several people.

"So, this website is fake?" Li Dawei tried the website provided by Wu Yu many times.

Zhao Jiwei also said: "Yes, when Wu Yu scanned the QR code to enter, she actually entered a website that the scammers built specifically for her. All the lottery information on the Internet is fake, and it was forged just for her. Now this QR code is useless."

Li Dawei suggested: "Then let's ignore this website for now and follow the cash flow to see where Wu Yu's cash flow has gone."

The two men went to the bank, showed their ID cards, and provided Wu Yu's account information.

After checking, the staff said:

"It's an offshore account and whenever money comes in, they transfer it to a bigger cash pool."

"That is to say, it is very likely that the money will be transferred again from that cash pool, and after a few transfers, it will disappear without a trace."

The staff member pointed to the account balance and said, "Look, there's only two dollars and fifty cents left!"

The two returned with heavy hearts to report to Lin Hao.

Lin Hao comforted him, "Don't be discouraged. This is a common trick. Fraud nowadays is no different from before. In previous fraud cases, when the criminals were caught, the money that was squandered could be returned to the victims, and the scammers could be brought to justice."

"Now they have learned their lessons and have evolved their methods several times. It's hard to find people and money!"

Li Dawei asked: "Is the victim okay now?"

Lin Hao nodded and said:

"I went to see him this morning. Fortunately, I died once and walked around the gate of Hades. Although I haven't recovered completely, I don't think about committing suicide now."

"She's just still a little discouraged. She rarely eats and rarely speaks. Her mother is with her now."

Li Dawei said in hatred: "Even if we can't get the money back, we will definitely catch the scammers and make them pay the price."

Lin Hao nodded and encouraged:
"Yes, we must catch him. Since we can't rely on cash flow, we can rely on information flow. As long as he has been online, there will be traces left."

"They have left information online through online fraud. I will assign you the next task."

The next day, the leaders of the institute and the task force all came to the conference room, and a projector projected a map of Haiming County on the big screen.

Lin Hao pointed at the map and said:

"Based on the remaining information at the time of the investigation, we confirmed that the scammer's location is here, Haiming County."

"This place is close to the Southeast Asian border, and if there is any disturbance, it will be easy for them to flee abroad."

"In addition, we suspect that these scammers are colluding with foreign fraud gangs."

"But we can't go any further here. Haiming County has a population of over 2 million, and the county seat has a permanent population of over 1 million, and the area is not small."

"I consulted with the Haiming County Public Security Bureau yesterday and they said that if we can't provide more accurate information, they can't accurately locate us."

Wang Shouyi frowned and asked, "Don't you have the scammer's identity information?"

"That's fake!" Lin Hao shook his head and said:
"The person pretending to be Tian Gaoping died two years ago. The scammer just stole his QQ account. This QQ number has been deactivated now, so it is impossible to locate him using the QQ number!"

Wang Shouyi shook his head: "That won't work. The victim is still in the hospital. We must catch the murderer and bring him to the victim."

"Don't worry, Director. We have already figured out a solution!" Lin Hao glanced at Li Dawei, then suppressed his smile and said:
"Dawei, tell me what you came up with!"

Li Dawei stood up and said nervously:
"Suo Wang, Zhao Jiwei and I discussed this before, maybe there is another way we can try."

Wang Shouyi asked with great interest: "What method?"

"Ahem!" Li Dawei cleared his throat and then introduced:
"The victim, Wu Yu, met the scammer through the Qianli Marriage website. Based on our analysis of other cases of pig-killing scams, we found that finding victims on dating websites is one of the common methods used by this type of fraud."

"So I followed the clues and found another person who was deceived by the Qianli Marriage Dating website."

Then Li Dawei asked Zhao Jiwei to post a photo, and then continued to introduce:

"This person is Fan Wenxiu, 54 years old this year, has been widowed for many years, and has raised her daughter alone. Her daughter has a boyfriend and is ready to get married."

"Ms. Fan was thinking about her later years and was planning to find a reliable person to live with. Then she met the suspect through a dating website called Qianli."

Zhao Jiwei showed another picture with great tact, while Li Dawei continued to introduce:

"This person's registered name is Tong Lei, and he is a network maintenance engineer. If he is not the same person as the scammer who defrauded Wu Yu, then they are at least in the same group."

"Because several of the short videos they posted were the same, and the method they used to deceive Sister Fan was exactly the same as the one they used to deceive Wu Yuru."

"The only difference is that after defrauding Sister Fan of more than 100 million yuan, someone claiming to be Tong Lei's sister suddenly contacted Sister Fan through Tong Lei's QQ account and said that Tong Lei had died of a sudden illness."

Cheng Hao was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile: "Ah! Is there such a thing? Didn't they say how he died?"

Li Dawei continued, "It is said that he inhaled toxic gas when he was repairing the lottery website."

What kind of poison could this lottery website have? Several people looked at each other, they didn't expect it could be played like this.

Cheng Hao said speechlessly: "Poverty really limits our imagination!"

Li Dawei looked at the leaders who remained silent, and then continued:

"Ms. Fan believed it at first and sent a message to express her condolences. Mr. Tong's sister also sent a message to express her gratitude."

Then Li Dawei said awkwardly: "From this, Zhao Jiwei and I came up with an idea."

Seeing that Li Dawei was silent, Wang Shouyi said seriously: "Just say whatever you think, don't hesitate!"

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Li Dawei said a little embarrassedly: "This is what we thought. Sister Fan once told Mr. Tong that her house might be demolished, and Mr. Tong was very interested in it."

"But later, due to changes in urban planning, Sister Fan's house could not be demolished temporarily. By then, Mr. Tong had already defrauded Sister Fan of more than one million yuan."

"We think he might be afraid that the cooked duck will fly away, so he didn't wait until the demolition to tell Sister Fan that he was dead in advance and just disappeared."

"We were wondering if it was possible for us to send him a message in Sister Fan's tone."

He asked Zhao Jiwei to play a paragraph of text, and then said with a smile:

"That being said, you don't have to blame yourself too much, sister. Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by God. Your brother certainly doesn't want to see something like this happen."

"Fortunately, the demolition here is about to start again. I heard that I can get more than 6 million yuan in compensation, which is enough to make up for the previous losses!"

"So, sister, don't worry too much!"

After Li Dawei finished speaking, the conference room fell silent, and everyone looked at Li Dawei with strange eyes.

Finally, Wang Shouyi gave a serious warning: "You kid, you must walk the right path in the future!"

"Hahahaha~!" The whole conference room burst into laughter.

Li Dawei said awkwardly: "This was an idea that Zhao Jiwei and I came up with!"

Lin Hao smiled and joked: "Don't worry, Director, I will keep an eye on them and they won't fall so quickly!"

Lin Hao looked at Wang Shouyi and said, "Director, what do you think?"

"Hmm~!" Wang Shouyi restrained his smile and said, "You can try it!"

······
With Wang Shouyi's consent, Li Dawei began to send text messages to the scammer using Sister Fan's mobile phone number.

However, there was no movement from the other party throughout the afternoon, and I thought the scammer had given up on Ms. Fan.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, the scammer actually replied to the message. The content of the message made Li Dawei so happy that he immediately reported it to Lin Hao.

Zhao Jiwei and Xia Jie were very curious and asked him to read the short message to them.

Li Dawei had no objection, and then he said:

"Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry that I only noticed your message now, because so many things have happened in the past two days, and our whole family is confused."

"Sister-in-law, do you believe in resurrection from the dead? This happened in our family. To put it simply, my brother came back to life three days after he was buried."

"Sister-in-law, we have the custom of burning paper for the dead after burial. This morning I went to burn paper for my brother and suddenly I heard some noise in the grave."

"I was terrified, but when I listened carefully, it was indeed my brother's voice. He was asking what time it was and whether it was daybreak."

"I quickly went home and asked someone to dig up the grave. When they opened the coffin, my brother sat up from the coffin. He was actually alive. The first thing he said was that he was hungry and wanted to drink some porridge."

After hearing the text message, several people burst into laughter. Zhao Jiwei even said:
"This liar is so funny. He really treats others as children. He should have said hello to Sister Fan or even used some other tricks!"

"This is resurrection from the dead~!" Zhao Jiwei shook his head.

Li Dawei said excitedly: "Don't panic, I will continue reading."

"Sister-in-law, my brother asked about you afterwards. He said he was sorry for losing money on your investment last time and he had several dreams during this period."

"In my dreams, he was thinking about how to make up for your losses and help you get back on track. He also said that he had found a way. Sister-in-law, my brother's true love for you makes even me, his younger sister, jealous."

The message was sent here, and after a pause of a few minutes, it started sending again.

"Sister-in-law, I showed my brother the message you just sent. My brother is weak now and can't reply to you in person."

"But he asked me to tell you that your demolition money is yours, and you should not give it to anyone else. He will definitely make up for the losses he caused you by investing in you before!"

After finally reading the message, Li Dawei was speechless for a while, and said in an exaggerated tone:
"Listen, it's so touching. It makes anyone who hears it cry and feel sad."

"These scammers will never give up until they achieve their goal!" Xia Jie also shook her head and laughed.

"But what should we do?" Li Dawei frowned and said:

"And from Sister Fan's perspective, it's impossible for her to have no doubts about Tong Lei's resurrection. Otherwise, she would be too naive!"

Lin Hao nodded, and then instructed:

"We can express our doubts appropriately and let the liar himself prove that he is alive!"

Yang Shu also said at this time:

"This is a good idea. The scammer will not give up the six million easily. He will definitely find a way to prove himself and regain Sister Fan's trust!"

Lin Hao also nodded in agreement, and then instructed Li Dawei:
"Well, leave her alone for now, and contact her tomorrow morning. Talk slowly, and don't seem too anxious!"

"Just like before, let the scammers think they have fooled Sister Fan, then they will reveal their true colors!"

"I understand!" Li Dawei nodded in response.

next day
Li Dawei arrived at the police station and immediately started sending messages:

"Are you really Tong Lei? Are you really alive? Where are you now? How is your situation? I want to go and see you, is it okay?"

The other party’s reply was still ridiculous, probably because he had watched too many ridiculous dramas.

"Don't come. I don't want you to see me like a living dead. Darling, if love lasts forever, why should we be together day and night?"

"I want to take good care of my body, make up for the loss I caused you last time, and then appear in front of you in the best condition. My dear, that day is not far away."

Lin Hao read the message, thought about it, and then said to Li Dawei:
"Yes, just chat with him intermittently like this, and show your doubt in your words. Then, as you chat with him, you can reduce this suspicion!"

Li Dawei looked at Lin Hao, and asked in surprise and confusion: "Chief Lin, how come you are so experienced? Could it be~?"

"What are you thinking about!" Seeing Li Dawei's expression, Lin Hao said unhappily:

"Didn't you study special psychology when you were in the police academy?"

"Hehe~!" Li Dawei laughed when he heard that!
In the next few days, Li Dawei kept in touch with the scammer. One day, Li Dawei suddenly shouted:

"Director Lin, look, we have a clue!"
