Chapter 373: The Crucial Clue to Cracking the Case
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The information provided by MO Li earlier indicated that during the same period, Lin Miao had treated her high school classmates to a lavish meal. They all assumed that Lin’s family had struck it rich in the countryside, but in reality, they were extremely poor.
Captain He speculated that the extravagant meal was likely paid for with a portion of the three thousand yuan gift money, leaving only two thousand five hundred yuan to be deposited into the bank.
However, MO Li was now unwilling to testify, rendering her statement unusable. Despite this, Captain He was well aware that Lin Miao’s bank account in the town was the crucial clue to cracking the case.
After sorting out these details, Captain He formally applied for an investigation order to scrutinize this deposit. With the assistance of bank personnel, he obtained a list of the account’s transactions.
The list revealed that Lin Miao had made multiple withdrawals from this account, purchasing items beyond her means, such as watches and complete sets of gold jewelry. After buying these luxury items, Lin Miao simply stored them away without using them.
It was clear that Lin Miao was trying to quickly spend all the money. To put it bluntly, she was laundering it.
Recently, the Gu family was planning a banquet and had borrowed a considerable amount of money. Unable to resist, Lin Miao withdrew the last thousand yuan from the account to cover the banquet costs. In her mind, this completely eliminated the worry associated with the three thousand yuan.
Upon arriving at the hotel today, Captain He immediately had the manager present the banquet money from the Gu and Gong families. Upon inspection, it was indeed as suspected. Only one thousand yuan came from the town bank, with the rest originating from the city bank.
The serial numbers of the money from the town bank perfectly matched the withdrawals from Lin Miao’s account, indicating that this thousand yuan was indeed from her account. The question then arose: where did Lin Miao get this money?
Listening to Captain He, Lin Miao felt her vision darken and her legs weaken. How could this be? She thought that in this era, once money was spent, it was untraceable. How could Captain He investigate so thoroughly?
Gu Shan, recalling something, spoke up in Lin Miao’s defense, “Of course the money is earned by our Lin Miao. Our Miao grew up in the countryside, often going hungry and enduring hardships. She has always balanced school with work, and she’s very diligent. Is it so strange that she has some savings to live a better life?”
Everyone watched as Zhang Mei spoke so angrily, and as Lin Miao cried so pitifully. They didn’t care about the truth, they just felt that Gu Zi was indeed ruthless.
She must have known in advance that Captain He was going to investigate and arrest people today, yet she didn’t warn her foster parents. She just watched as they were humiliated. How dark her heart must be.
Regardless of the truth, today should not have been the day for it to be revealed. It made it difficult for everyone to save face. The crowd murmured amongst themselves, their resentful gazes turning towards Gu Zi.
But before they could voice their condemnation, a tall figure stepped in front of
Gu Zi, shielding her from their reproachful glances. That man was Gu Zit s frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
