Chapter 294.
“Mr. Xia, what are you looking at me for, this money is also a payment for goods given to me by others, if this is a fake banknote, my loss is also big ……” Xie Xiaochu was shocked, that obviously unkind gaze, Xia Cheng this kind of person is by no means a good person, can he not be afraid?
Xia Cheng viciously said, “Give me the deed book, take your fake banknotes away, between the two of us is even clear.”
“What indenture, Mr. Xia, when you accept my money, my money is transferred to your hands, how do I know that this box of banknotes is what I just gave you, what if you dropped it?” Xie Xiaochu glanced at Cheng Mo, her guts instantly strengthened.
With the police present, do you Xia Cheng still dare to do anything to me? Cheng Mo sat there and didn’t say anything, these two guys were not good people, one took fake banknotes to deposit money, while the other was a loan shark, causing many people to lose their homes.
It was quite interesting to see them dog-eat-dog and pinch each other.
“Surname Xie, this is the box you brought the money in, I didn’t move a single line, this is the fake banknotes you brought!” Xia Cheng was angry.
“Where’s the evidence, this money was taken out from your bank and was not handed over from me.” Xie Xiaochu looked at Cheng Mo’s silence and couldn’t help but straighten her back, “As long as you can prove that the fake banknotes on this table is what I brought over to be stored in your bank, I’ll admit it.”
“Isn’t this box yours?”
“If the box is mine, does the fake banknotes inside necessarily mean that I started it?” Xie Xiaochu let out a cold laugh, “If you replace the real banknotes inside, and do a trick to steal them in front of Inspector Cheng, and replace this half a million dollars of mine, won’t I have to eat this dumb loss?”
Xu Qinghe was about to open his mouth, but was stopped by Cheng Mo’s eyes, he hadn’t seen enough of this drama.
There is no surveillance in this era. When the money arrives at the bank, it has nothing to do with the depositor, it is your bank that did not do a good job of recognizing the fake bills.
This loss is your bank, you find people depositors, they do not recognize, the bill is given in person, so how can they recognize it after the fact? If this is the case, the bank’s credibility will be over, who still dare to deposit money in the bank, you change the real banknotes, said it is a fake banknotes, and then the loss of the depositor’s, this is the robbery.
The depositor to withdraw money, is the same, away from the cabinet is not responsible, you if you are in the bank to get a fake, that is also you recognize bad luck.
The bank will never admit that the money in your hand is the money he gave you, this is the same reason.
Xie Xiaochu was seizing this point, and was now becoming emboldened.
“Detective Cheng, you judge, has he blackmailed people like this, my total equity of this bank is only three million, except for this half a million fake banknotes, the total cash doesn’t add up to so much, where did he get the money for him to replace it?” Xia Cheng was anxious, “Didn’t you just say that the fake banknotes deposited into my bank by this Xie, you must have gotten the news before you came over?”
“This detective only suspects that Xie Xiaochu is in possession of a large amount of counterfeit banknotes and deposited him in the bank to get real money, but there is no substantial evidence.” Cheng Mo said, “However, counterfeit banknotes worth half a million dollars were found at the scene, as for whether the counterfeit banknotes were Xie Shiaochu’s or your bank’s, this Inspector could not tell the difference for a while.”
“Inspector Cheng, this is not obvious, this box of fake banknotes has not been touched since I took over, this is clearly Xie Xiaochu cheating me with fake banknotes, please be my judge!” Xia Cheng said in a choked tone, he could not afford to lose half a million dollars at once.
Cheng Mo nodded, “Since both of you can’t prove that this fake banknote belongs to you, and this half a million counterfeit banknotes is already considered a mega case, why don’t you two go back with this detective and explain things properly.”
Xia Cheng and Xie Xiaochu were both dumbfounded.
“And these half a million counterfeit banknotes, seal them and take them away together!” Cheng Mo commanded Xu Qinghe.
What? ……
The news that Cheng Mo had arrested a depositor of counterfeit banknotes and also seized up to half a million French francs of counterfeit banknotes spread like a whirlwind in the Old Gate Constabulary.
To say that rape and murder cases, that can be seen every three days, it has long been strange to see, and fake money is not rare.
But the seizure of half a million dollars of counterfeit money at once, this is definitely a big case. Not only were the counterfeit banknotes seized, even the culprits were brought back, this case, tsk, tsk, famous! “Inspector Cheng, this fake banknote is really not switched by me ……”
“Mr. Xia, it’s not impossible for you to prove your innocence, let me search the Jucheng Bank, if I don’t find any banknotes equal to this half a million counterfeit banknotes, you are naturally innocent.” Inside the lagging room, Cheng Mo rushed Xia Cheng with a hefty smile.
When Xia Cheng heard this, his face instantly collapsed, searching the Jucheng Bank, then wouldn’t his family’s bit of secret be known?
This is absolutely impossible, but how can I prove my innocence.
“This detective saw that when Xie Xiaochu came out from your Jucheng Bank, he didn’t carry anything in his hand, if he firmly refuses to admit that this half a million counterfeit banknotes are brought by him, then this half a million counterfeit banknotes are from your Jucheng Bank.” Cheng Mo said as he looked at the other party with a good sense of humor.
“No, Inspector Cheng, how can you say that, that box is that bastard surnamed Xie’s ……”
“The box is his, does the fake banknote have to be, does this have to be looked at separately?”
Xia Cheng would like to curse, but in front of him is the inspector of the political unit of the inspectorate, with a gun in his hand, and there are people under his hand, and he is still in the gang of the Tongzhi generation of the big brother, even if his seniority in the gang is also greater than him.
If you mess with an inspector with real power, even if you’re not in his district, he can make your life worse than death.
This one was a ruthless man who had killed three people and seriously injured two while he was unharmed in a street assassination by four or five gunmen.
“Think about it, and when you do, let me know.”
“Inspector Cheng, Inspector Cheng ……,” Cheng Mo got up and left, leaving Xia Cheng alone inside desperately shouting.
“Boss, this surname Xie is a speculative merchant, as long as the money is given, he will do anything, and is extremely close to the Japanese, and the counterfeit banknotes of half a million French dollars that we seized are not something that ordinary people can make ……”
“Do you think we have stirred up a hornet’s nest?” Cheng Mo asked rhetorically.
“Uh-huh.” Xu Qinghe nodded, half a million fake French banknotes, may not poke a hornet’s nest, if it is really the Japanese behind the scene, its sinister intention, that is to mess up the currency circulation within the Concession, more currency, regardless of the authenticity of the currency, as long as it enters into circulation, it will be inflated, which will cause a huge blow to the fragile economy within the Concession.
In particular, the credibility of the KMT’s financial institutions and even that of the national government in the Concession would be a huge blow.
The order of the rented world is in disarray, the Japanese can only take the chestnuts out of the fire.
Could Cheng Mo let them have their way?
Obviously can not, but to do so is bound to offend the Japanese, but to do this kind of thing the Japanese only dare to sneak behind the back, he did not dare to do it openly, which will be the world’s condemnation of the spurned.
Just like Europe and the United States and then how when the smash and grab, all to pack themselves a “justice and light” moral veneer, which is the same as China’s “teachers out of the name” is a reason.
He Cheng Mo is legitimate to act detective power, after someone reported the case, investigate the case to obtain clues, not deliberately targeting, in this point, he is completely defensible.
I do not investigate, how do I know who is behind the counterfeit banknotes?
