Chapter 69 Thousands of miles to recover stolen goods

After Lai Chunan was taken to Dongshan for investigation, the working group began to search for his tens of millions of stolen money.As an insider, Lai Chun'an's wife also became one of the objects of investigation.Zhang Zhi, the leader of the special case team, was deeply impressed by this when he was interviewed by us: As a tax officer, I can say that I have mixed feelings when I go through the tax system and check my own experience.I remember that when investigating Lai Chunan's case, Lai Chunan wrote a letter to his wife.His letter must be reviewed by us first, and it can only be forwarded to his wife after it is proved that there is no problem.This letter was written very emotionally. As a tax cadre, I feel very uncomfortable.Lai Chun'an's wife is a cadre of the Finance Bureau. When looking for her, she just cried and said nothing.When asked her to read the letter and asked her to cooperate in handing over the money, she said that those things, that money, had been transferred before that.Say nothing else, just cry.

When we went to Lai Chun'an's house, Lai's wife was angry with the child.Lai Chun'an has two children, the elder is a daughter who is in the third year of high school, and the younger is a son who is in elementary school.Especially for my daughter, it is the critical time to study.She used to have good grades in school, and she is very hopeful to enter a key university.However, at this juncture, her father had an accident and was arrested. The local news and public opinion made a lot of noise. She was also looked at sideways at school. When she fell to the ground, she couldn't bear it for a while, and her study was immediately affected.Even if a child encounters such a thing in the college entrance examination, it is usually difficult to pass this hurdle, so her life's fate will have to be rewritten.Lai Chun'an's son is in elementary school. After his father's accident, his classmates discriminated against him and called him the son of a corrupt official.He couldn't stand it, so he didn't want to go to school.He said he went to school, but he actually hid himself, playing truant for many days before he was discovered.When we went, Lai's wife was scolding the children about going to school, and his son was crying and wiping away his tears.This is a scene that we accidentally encountered while handling the case.This may be a common scene in many families, but this scene happened to a family of tax cadres in prison, and it shocked and touched us tax cadres tremendously.The case investigators present at the time were all in a heavy mood.Because everyone has seen the fact that this is the end of this family.Just because Lai Chun'an commits a crime alone, the whole family is affected. Since then, this family has no happiness to speak of, and the cloud will always hang over every member of this family...

Lai Chun'an's ending is completely self-inflicted, but the disaster he brought to the family is sympathetic.Zhang Zhi's words represent the complex psychology of the "807" investigators at work at this time.That is, while they are exploring the criminal trajectory of others, they are also torturing their own souls; Together with Zhang Zhi, Wu Pin was responsible for the recovery.Wu Pin was the head of the financial team under the tax inspection team at the time.Ma Sen explained to the two team leaders: "We must do our best to recover the money!" The two team leaders took people to Lai Chun'an's house.Unexpectedly, as soon as I went there, I hit a snag.Wu Pin said: "Lai Chunan's stolen money is more than 10 million yuan. The local people in Puning gave Lai Chunan the nickname 'Lai Yiyi'. On December 4, our two teams took two vans and went straight to the Puning City Finance Bureau. The confidentiality work was in place. After we showed the '807' work card at the Finance Bureau, we immediately found the director of the bureau and asked him to bring Lai's wife who was working to the conference room. The finance director knew what '807' was for, and even more so. Knowing that Lai Chun'an had been taken away by '807' for many days for investigation, he immediately arranged for someone to take Lai's wife to the small meeting room. We finally saw Lai's wife in the small meeting room. She was in her 40s, slightly fat, wearing It’s not luxurious. When she arrived, the color of her face changed immediately after hearing the director’s introduction. After the director left, she remained silent, no matter how we asked how to do the work, she just refused to speak. Wife Lai didn’t know her The husband has already confessed the problem, and we told her husband’s situation, she thought we were defrauding her, until we showed her the handwritten letter written by Lai Chun’an, she cried bitterly, but she still didn’t open her mouth. Facing such a situation Only after the contest did I realize the severity of the fight against tax fraud, and deeply understand the difficulties and risks that the public security and armed police have to deal with such people every day. More than five hours have passed, and Lai's wife has never opened her mouth. We After consulting the leader of the working group, the police took her back to the working group's station for a talk. We rushed back to the station exhausted after 10 o'clock in the middle of the night. Director Zhang Zhi decided to interrogate her overnight and try to break through her ideological defense."

After arriving in the working group, Zhang Zhi and Wu Pin continued to work as Lai Chunan's wife.Lai's wife proposed to see Lai Chun'an, but what if the two colluded to confess?Wu Pin did not agree.Lai Chun'an's wife's attitude has naturally not changed.Therefore, Wu Pin told her that only by cooperating with the working group and handing over the stolen money to recover the country's losses can Lai Chun'an's guilt be alleviated.She still said she didn't know the whereabouts of the money.Wu Pin repeatedly told her that the procuratorate's prosecution and the court's sentencing will fully consider the loss of state property and the criminal suspect's confession attitude.If there is meritorious service, it may be lenient.If confronted, the death penalty is also possible.After the in-depth and meticulous work of the comrades in the working group, she gradually felt that the confrontation might aggravate the treatment of Lai Chunan, and finally expressed that she would cooperate with the working group to return the stolen money.

Where did the money go?Lai Chunan brought some of the money to Shenzhen with his friends and deposited it in several banks in Shenzhen; the other part was transferred to Hong Kong and kept by Lai Chunan's wife and sister.So, Zhang Zhi, Wu Pin and others accompanied Lai's wife and several people to Shenzhen to withdraw money.Although Lai's wife nodded and agreed to hand over the money, everyone had no idea what the outcome would be.Wu Pin said: "After bringing Lai's wife to Shenzhen, I shared a room with another lesbian and Lai's wife. Lai's wife slept in the middle, and we slept on both sides. I basically didn't sleep for three nights, and I couldn't close my eyes."

Lai Chun'an's wife was depressed. She didn't eat or speak at first.What should I do if I don’t eat and make people go wrong?Wu Pin did the work for her.Seeing that she didn't bring a change of clothes, Wu Pin went to the mall to buy underwear and panties for her.Wu Pin also discussed with the leaders of the hostel and asked them to put some longan and red dates in Lai Chunan's wife's porridge to nourish her body.At this time, Wu Pin continued to comfort her, hoping that she could really cooperate with the working group. Wu Pin said: "Maybe it was my sincerity and kindness that moved her, or maybe it was the days of ideological work and policy attack that played a role. That night, Lai's wife finally spoke to me. She said that she could see that my eldest sister was a good person." , she would like to talk to me alone. Lai's wife said that Lao Lai has come to this point because of his own reasons and organizational reasons. I wonder if the organization let him participate in the fraud Taxes and bribes? Lai's wife said, "Sister Wu, you don't know that in Puning, the economy is actually empty. The mayor and secretary all want political achievements, and every year they force the National Taxation Bureau to overfulfill the tasks. What can Lao Lai do?" , I had no choice but to do this. And the surrounding counties and cities have been doing this for many years, and nothing has happened. The country inspects every year, and the local government helps to deal with it every year. How do I know this inspection? If you want to arrest people, you should arrest people, and you should arrest people from the National Taxation Bureau first. I said that all of this has passed, and now the important thing is that you cooperate with us in recovering Lai Chunan's stolen money and stolen goods. If you have performed meritorious service, you can strive for leniency, maybe I can save Lao Lai's life. What I said touched her heart. She finally spoke out about the amount of stolen money hidden in her home, and the amount in Hong Kong dollars was very different from what Lai Chunan confessed. I will further enlighten her She said, Elder Sister, I have indeed confessed everything. I don’t know how much Lao Lai confessed inside, but that’s all I remember. To be honest, due to the sudden incident and the large amount of cash in the house, it’s all a small amount. Bundle a small bundle of cash, maybe I was flustered, and it’s possible that I counted the wrong bundles. I did confess all of them. I observed her expression and felt that she was telling the truth. So I asked another question about what I felt in my heart. Curious question. I said, your family hid so much money, why didn’t Lao Lai run away this time? Hong Kong also has your relatives, why didn’t you send your children to study abroad? Lai’s wife said, in fact, Lao Lai is still very rich. He is self-motivated, and his heart is broken because of the work of the IRS. He still wants to work hard in the IRS and strive for promotion. Besides, our education level is not high, let alone foreign languages. Where are you going? Both children are young and introverted, and they don’t want to go abroad. The whole Puning City knows what happened to Lao Lai this time, and the schoolmates make fun of my children every day. Now, I Beating the second child, forcing him to go to school, he won't go to school anymore. Lai's wife said I really regret that I didn't stop Lao Lai from doing these things. Now that there are no people left, what's the use of asking for so much money? The children also follow us adults Being implicated, Lao Lai has really hurt our family. Hearing this, my nose is sore, after all, she is a mother, and I can understand the pain and regret in her heart now."

When the gold was withdrawn that night, everyone was really a little scared. Zhang Zhi said: After arriving in Shenzhen, Lai's wife contacted the person who kept the money in Shenzhen and arranged to meet and hand it in at the entrance of a large shopping mall.We made an appointment at 9pm, but we waited there until 11pm and the guy still didn't come.I saw that the place was too dangerous. Although there were 5 of us, including police officers, it would be difficult to deal with gangsters.So, we withdrew.We told Lai's wife that she should contact that person immediately, and if the money and goods were not brought, we would take coercive measures.Anyway, we knew that person's phone number at the time.Lai's wife asked, can you guarantee the safety of the family?I said, no problem.Therefore, Lai's wife contacted that person again, and the two parties agreed to hand over at the old place at 1:00 pm.At that time, that person really came.I saw him carrying a nylon bag, put it down and was about to run.I grabbed the man's arm and said I had to look at things.Pulling and pulling, plus the weight of the bag, the rope on the bag broke, and the thing fell to the ground with a "bang".We opened it up and saw a pile of gold and a watch, so we let the man go.As soon as we counted, there were 30 gold pieces and 6 Rolex watches.The gold was about the size of an air conditioner remote control, but it was heavy, and it was engraved with images of sailing ships. Later, the bank identified it as an Arabian product.

Lai Chun'an's wife and sister remitted 6.31 million Hong Kong dollars to Shenzhen, and at the same time took 1.13 million Hong Kong dollars in cash with them.Wu Pin said: "The gold is shiny. I have never seen so much gold when I grow up. They are all imported gold bars, which are very beautiful." Unexpectedly, it took a lot of effort to transfer the money to the account of the working group.Wu Pin and the others first went to a bank to withdraw more than 5 million Hong Kong dollars.At the beginning, the president of the bank was not cooperative, but later he explained the truth to them, and they continued until they were about to leave work, and finally transferred the money to the account designated by the working group.But the bank wanted Wu Pin to bet there.Wu Pin wasted a lot of talking before he was able to let him go.

Then, go to another bank to withdraw money.Because after Lai Chunan's wife and sister arrived in Shenzhen, they were afraid that it would be unsafe to carry so much cash with them, so they deposited the 1 million Hong Kong dollars in cash they had just brought into the bank, and handed over the bank card to the working group.As a result, once the money is deposited, it will be difficult to withdraw it.Grinding until after get off work, still no results.The next day, Wu Pin saw that the letter of introduction from the "807" working group didn't work in Shenzhen, so he thought he had to ask the Shenzhen tax department for help.Two comrades from the Shenzhen Office of Cracking Down on Fraudulent Export Tax Rebates brought a letter of introduction from the Shenzhen Municipal Public Security Bureau and accompanied several comrades from the working group to the bank.

The director of the office of this bank said that their president is in a meeting, and this matter cannot be handled for you without the approval of the president, so you just wait here for the meeting to end.In this way, Wu Pin and the others waited at the bank from 9 o'clock to 11 o'clock, and no one paid any attention to them.Wu Pin said: "I was in a hurry at that time, I couldn't wait any longer, I rushed to the president's office." For the sake of work, Wu Pin held back his temper and told the president that it was settled yesterday, why can't it work today?The president said that the director of the office told him that the money has been saved, but it is in foreign exchange, and the money cannot be transferred to foreign exchange casually.If you want to remit, you must go to the Shenzhen Municipal Administration of Foreign Exchange to go through the formalities and get an approval document before you can remit Hong Kong dollars to the "807" account.Wu Pin said that yesterday the director of the office did not say so, and did not ask her to do any approval documents.The governor said that this is the bank's regulation, and no remittance can be made without the approval of the foreign exchange administration.

There was no way, Wu Pin contacted the working group on the one hand, and the Shenzhen State Taxation Bureau on the other hand, and asked the director of the local State Taxation Bureau to do the work.At this time, Wu Pin saw that the president looked a bit like a person from Chaoshan, so he fought a heart attack: "President Lin, are you from Chaoshan?" The president raised his head in surprise and said, "You How do you know that I am from Chaoshan?” Wu Pin said, “I guessed that you are from Chaoshan.” Wu Pin continued, “Originally I came to handle the case, so I have no obligation to tell you these things, but in order to solve the problem as soon as possible, I I can disclose that the '807' working group cheated on taxes in Chaoshan. The problem there is very serious... As far as I know, Chaoshan people are very fond of their fellow countrymen. This money is actually related to the life of a fellow villager. If you If the money can be returned as soon as possible, the sentence may be lighter; if the stolen money cannot be returned in time, he will be sentenced to death. You can figure it out.” The psychological warfare still had some effect, and the president softened a little.Wu Pin struck while the iron was hot, and continued to say to him: "I was a little impulsive when I spoke just now, because you were rude first. I waited for 3 hours, but no one came in to see me. You are still so young, probably in your early 30s, I have already I am almost 50 years old, and I have to wait for hours. If you are assigned to a working group and asked to handle a case, what would you do if you encountered such a situation?" "The 1 million Hong Kong dollars was finally processed according to our requirements." Wu Pin said in a weary tone. After everything was settled, the members of the working group took the gold nuggets, valuables and tens of millions of money orders in their hands. Just like winning a battle, they returned with a full load and returned to Shantou Yingbin Garden.
