Chapter 57: Perfect Case Closure

By the time Chen Mo returned to Gao Jin's house, they had already arrived ahead of him.

Chen Mo asked, "All taken care of?"

"Done. Mo Weichen was killed with Zhang Wenyao's gun, and He Yongqiang was strangled."

"No one saw you?"

"No!"

"Good."

Only then did Chen Mo feel relieved.

All he had to do later was give Huang Bingyao a few clues to let the police investigate.

The stolen US dollars would appear in Zhang Wenyao's car, Mo Weichen was Zhang Wenyao's subordinate and died from Zhang Wenyao's gun, Zhang Wenyao himself was missing, and his home was missing a passport and cash.

Everything would connect.

Zhang Wenyao colluded with his subordinate Mo Weichen and the escort driver He Yongqiang, bribed a group of robbers, and carried out the armored car robbery.

Afterwards, the robbers fled Gangdao by illegal means, Zhang Wenyao killed Mo Weichen and He Yongqiang to silence them, then absconded from Gangdao with the stolen money.

Everything was reasonable and sufficient for the police to close the case.

"I've already retrieved that batch of US dollars. Zhang Wenyao must have given some away; there's still about eighty million left. What do you plan to do?"

After all, this money was snatched back by Tian Yang Sheng and his men, so Chen Mo didn't intend to keep it all for himself.

"Really?"

Tian Yang Sheng and the others suddenly got excited.

They had long given up hope on this money, never expecting Chen Mo to be so resourceful as to get it out of the police station.

Seeing the seven of them so thrilled, Chen Mo warned, "Don't get excited yet. This money is being watched by the police now; it's useless to you. At least wait a few months until the heat dies down, then find an institution to launder it clean."

After hearing Chen Mo's words, they finally calmed down.

The group huddled together, whispered a few words, then Tian Yang Sheng turned to Chen Mo: "Mo Ge, if it weren't for you, us brothers might have died at the hands of the police by now.

You saved our lives, and you risked yourself to get this money out of the station. You decide how to split it!"

"That's right, whatever Big Brother says, we agree." The others chimed in.

Just as Chen Mo said, the money was useless to them anyway.

Without Chen Mo, they wouldn't have gotten the money and might have even lost their lives.

Although they hadn't known Chen Mo long, they could tell he wasn't a stingy person.

Letting Chen Mo handle the distribution, he wouldn't shortchange them.

Chen Mo thought for a moment and said, "I'll hold onto this money for now. After a while, I'll find someone to launder it. Then I'll give you one hundred million Hong Kong dollars. How about that?"

Eighty million US dollars, after laundering, would probably only be about fifty million left, which converted to Hong Kong dollars would be around four hundred million.

Giving them one hundred million might seem a bit little, but it was enough to make Tian Yang Sheng and the others jump for joy.

"Good! Thank you, Mo Ge!" They all thanked Chen Mo in unison.

If the one million settlement money Chen Mo gave them allowed them to settle down in Gangdao, then one hundred million was enough to let them live like rich men in Gangdao.

Gao Jin's luxury mansion was only a little over three million.

One hundred million—seven people could each buy a luxury mansion and still have more than half left.

"Rest well tonight. Once you deal with Tiger tomorrow, you can show up in Gangdao openly and legitimately."

Now the only one who knew Tian Yang Sheng and his men robbed the armored car was Tiger. Dealing with him was simple.

Tiger didn't have much territory in Shen Shui Bu, nor many men.

But because he was in the arms business, most Triad Societies were reluctant to provoke him.

After all, most Triad Societies in Gangdao used knives to fight; even if they kept a few gunmen, they wouldn't use them lightly.

But those in the arms business were different—they all had Big Bosses backing them and weren't easy to mess with themselves.

Once you pissed off someone in the arms business, what if they spent a little money to hire some desperadoes to take a potshot at you?

After all, they had the goods ready.

The next morning, Chen Mo called Huang Bingyao.

After a coded exchange, Huang Bingyao asked excitedly, "A Mo, do you have a lead?"

"I found a snakehead. He brought a group of people from Southeast Asia to Gangdao a week ago and sent them away three days ago.

That group took a lot of money with them when they left. No doubt they're the ones who robbed the armored car."

"Damn, what good does it do me to tell me they're gone! Am I supposed to go to Southeast Asia to catch them?"

Huang Bingyao was hopping mad.

"What are you in a hurry for! I'm not done yet!" Chen Mo said helplessly.

"They've already run off to Southeast Asia, what else can you say? Are they going to come back?"

"No, they won't. But the snakehead told me the person who arranged for him to pick them up was a cop. That group called him 'Mr. Mo.'

Is that good news or not?"

"What!" Huang Bingyao was shocked. "You mean there was a dirty cop involved in this armored car robbery?"

"Isn't that obvious?" Chen Mo said exasperatedly. "Could just anyone know the armored car's route? For the robbers to pull it off so smoothly, there had to be a dirty cop leaking the route."

"What does that dirty cop look like?"

"No idea. I've never seen him."

"Where's that snakehead? I'll go grab him and interrogate him!"

"What are you thinking? I got this info from interrogating him. You think he'd kindly tell me?"

"After you interrogated him, I can interrogate him again!"

"After I interrogated him, of course I sent him to feed the fish. You think I'd leave him around to take revenge on me?"

Damn! You loser, can you at least act like a policeman?

The file's already deleted, Huang sir.

You have time to ask me all sorts of nonsense; you'd better hurry up and investigate that black police officer surnamed Mo.

Remember to charge the informant fee to my account!

Having said that, Chen Mo hung up the phone.

Chen Mo had gone over this excuse many times, making sure there were no loopholes.

On the other end of the line, Huang Bingyao froze, then realized what was happening.

The involvement of a corrupt police officer in this case is his exclusive scoop, and catching that corrupt officer would be a major achievement.

Thinking of this, Huang Bingyao quickly hung up, ran to the office door, and shouted outward: 'Everyone with a flower on their shoulder, get in here!'

There aren't many senior police officers who can access the cash-in-transit vehicle's route, and now knowing the corrupt officer's surname, plus the fact that the case occurred in Central, makes it not difficult to identify the person with this information.

The police still have plenty of talent.

Soon, Zhang Wenyao and Mo Weichen were both suspected by Huang Bingyao.

Since Zhang Wenyao and Huang Bingyao are of the same rank, Huang Bingyao couldn't investigate him directly; after obtaining the files on Zhang Wenyao and Mo Weichen, he immediately reported to police headquarters.

This case was already being taken seriously, and Huang Bingyao's report was even more crucial.

Police headquarters immediately launched an investigation into Zhang Wenyao and Mo Weichen.

Soon, everyone noticed that Zhang Wenyao and Mo Weichen hadn't come to work today, and someone immediately went to search their homes.

Then, Mo Weichen's corpse was found in his home, along with some of the stolen US dollars.

At the same time, Zhang Wenyao went missing; cash and passport were gone from his home, and a few items of clothing were missing, clearly indicating he had fled.

As the investigation continued, several US dollars were found in Zhang Wenyao's old car, and their serial numbers were confirmed to be from the batch stolen in the cash-in-transit vehicle robbery.

Subsequently, the bullet found in Mo Weichen's body was confirmed to have come from Zhang Wenyao's service pistol.

At this point, the case became clear.
