Ye Qi and Lao Mo's Invisibility Cloak only lasted 30 minutes. Ye Qi hid to the side and listened to He Rong and Uncle Zhong talking about the details of the "60th birthday". He Rong leaned back on the sofa and said with a smile: "Uncle, this 60th birthday will definitely be a grand one for you. I have booked the best hotel and arranged the banquet. Invitations have been sent to all your old friends. This is the final menu. Please take a look."
Uncle Zhong smiled and took the menu, glancing at it: "I trust your arrangements, of course. But don't go overboard with the extravagance."
He Rong patted his chest: "Don't worry, Uncle, I'll make sure everything is arranged..."
The two started chatting casually, while Ye Qi listened to the information in place, and Lao Mo quickly took a walk around Uncle Zhong's house.
He wore an invisibility cloak so no one could see him; his feet were completely covered so that no sound was made, like a wisp of air floating by.
However, the more he turned around, the more frightened he became.
This is no ordinary residence; it's almost comparable to a villa.
There are countless rooms. In addition to the "presidential suite" style bedroom with an area of over 60 square meters, there are also a study, a chess and card room, a tea room, guest rooms, children's rooms... There is even a 100-square-meter gym equipped with various high-end equipment. The balcony of the gym alone is a floor-to-ceiling window with a width of over 10 meters.
This house is so big, it's practically a maze. Someone who doesn't know the way might get completely lost if they come in.
Fortunately, Lao Mo often does interior design and is very sensitive to space. He quickly drew a floor plan of Uncle Zhong's house in his mind. He was surprised to find that the house was not a simple multi-room residence, but was made up of three houses joined together.
In other words, someone bought three rooms on this floor, then knocked down the non-load-bearing walls between the three apartments, combining them into one 400-square-meter luxury apartment that resembled a maze.
With the 30-minute invisibility period almost up, Lao Mo returned to Ye Qi's previous position and whispered in his ear, "Xiao Ye, retreat quickly."
Ye Qi also lowered his voice: "Yes, I'll go with you."
Uncle Zhong and He Rong, who were chatting in the living room, were unaware of the faint sound of mosquitoes in the room.
Ye Qi and Lao Mo secretly went to the gym, opened the window, and flew out together using their teleportation cards.
The two leaped several times, landing on the rooftop of a building in the distance, where they nervously removed their Invisibility Cloaks. Old Mo took out his phone, drew a floor plan in his mind, and sent it to the group chat: " Captain Yu, this is where Uncle Zhong lives."
Xiao Lou quickly understood: "Three houses combined into one?"
Looking at the floor plan, there is a small apartment in the middle, and two large apartments on the left and right are mirror images of each other. Although some walls have been demolished and renovated, the outlines of the three apartments are still quite clear.
"It seems he bought the entire 16th floor? Living secretly in the building, combining three apartments into one mansion, is certainly much more low-key than living in a villa." Yu Hanjiang paused, then asked, "How many floors are there in this building in total?"
"It's an 18-story building, the best one in the whole complex. I think Uncle Zhong spent several million just on the renovations. The gym is especially luxurious, with floor-to-ceiling windows on one wall that's almost comparable to a professional fitness club," Old Mo exclaimed. "The whole apartment is twice as expensive as his son's duplex."
Everyone: "..."
Buying an entire floor and spending millions on renovations—it seems Uncle Zhong's wealth has been underestimated.
" Captain Yu checked Uncle Zhong's records, and he doesn't own these three properties. Could it be that He Rong bought these houses?" Old Mo asked doubtfully.
"I will investigate thoroughly. Are there any other clues?" Yu Hanjiang asked.
"I just overheard Uncle Zhong talking to his nephew. Uncle Zhong is turning sixty next weekend, and his nephew has already made preparations for the banquet. He booked the banquet hall of the only five-star hotel in town. The banquet is in three days. Why don't Lao Mo and I stay here and go to the banquet venue later?" Ye Qi suggested.
"Okay." Yu Hanjiang tagged all members, "Everyone go to sleep first. Tomorrow morning, Ye Qi and Lao Mo will wait for my notification. Teacher Qu and Long Sen will go to Fukang Pharmacy. Liu Qiao will rest for a day. Xiao Lou will continue to follow up on Cheng Shaofeng's line at the Medical School."
"Okay, goodnight everyone." Xiao Lou sent the message and then returned to the duty room. It was already 2:30 a.m., and everyone went back to sleep. They only rested for a few hours before setting their alarms to get up at 8:00 a.m. sharp.
Long Sen and Qu Wanyue, a married couple, went to investigate Zhu Qingrong as arranged by Yu Hanjiang.
Zhu Qingrong had his medical license revoked for "manslaughter" years ago. After being released from prison, he went to help out at "Fukang Pharmacy," which was owned by a relative. The pharmacy happened to be just across the street from the hotel where they were staying.
After having breakfast, Long Sen and Qu Wanyue walked in hand in hand, pretending to go to the pharmacy to buy medicine.
Upon entering the pharmacy, the two immediately spotted a man in a white coat sitting at the cashier. The man had delicate features, fair skin, long and clean fingers, wore silver-rimmed glasses, and looked very refined, though his expression was somewhat aloof.
—It was Zhu Qingrong.
His first impression was quite good; it was impossible to associate him with the word "jail." It's unclear what exactly happened back then that led to such a serious mistake during surgery, resulting in the deaths of both the mother and unborn child, and ultimately, his imprisonment.
song
Wanyue and Long Sen exchanged a glance and walked inside.
Long Sen went directly to Zhu Qingrong and politely asked, "Hello doctor, my wife has had diarrhea for the past few days. Could you recommend a medicine for diarrhea? By the way, she is pregnant. Is there any medicine that won't affect the fetus?"
Zhu Qingrong looked at Qu Wanyue and asked in a cold voice, "How many months pregnant are you?"
Qu Wanyue said, "Two months."
Zhu Qingrong got up, walked to the shelf, found a box of medicine, and handed it to her, saying, "This is a traditional Chinese medicine. The ingredients will not have any side effects on the fetus, so you can take it with peace of mind. Take it three times a day with warm water. Also, pay attention to a light diet. Drink some nutritious porridge these days and avoid spicy and stimulating foods to prevent putting too much burden on your stomach."
"Okay, thank you, doctor." Qu Wanyue took the medicine box and casually asked, "By the way, what time does your pharmacy open every day? I just moved here recently, so I'll come to you to buy medicine whenever I have a headache or fever."
"Our pharmacy is open 24 hours a day." Zhu Qingrong's voice remained calm and detached.
"Thank you." Long Sen and Qu Wanyue paid for the medicine and, not wanting to linger, turned and left the pharmacy.
Zhu Qingrong sat back down in the same spot. After Qu Wanyue left, she turned to look at him. Through the glass window, she could clearly see the man's profile. Zhu Qingrong lowered his head, holding a tablet computer and intently browsing the news.
Long Sen lowered his voice and whispered in Qu Wanyue's ear, "The organization members have all left, but he's still sitting in the pharmacy. Judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem like the cold-blooded, cruel type. Maybe the manslaughter case from back then was just an accident. What do you think?"
Qu Wanyue gently shook her head: "I also don't think he's that bad. But investigations require evidence, and many suspects will pretend to be innocent. Let's report the results to Captain Yu and let him investigate in detail."
"Okay, I'll send the message right away." Long Sen nodded in agreement and took out his phone to report Zhu Qingrong's situation to Yu Hanjiang.
— Zhu Qingrong didn't run away; she's still working at the pharmacy, which surprised Yu Hanjiang a little.
In his view, Zhu Qingrong was highly suspicious. This person had saved Yu Fugui's life in prison, which met the conditions for recruiting Yu Fugui into the organization; secondly, he had his medical license revoked for manslaughter, and he was an obstetrician-gynecologist, so there was a high possibility that he joined an illegal clinic to perform egg retrieval surgery for illicit profit.
But if he really is a member of the organization, earning more than ten times the salary at the illegal clinic compared to working at the pharmacy, why would he waste his time sitting in the pharmacy? Besides, the police investigation into Cheng Shaofeng has already alerted the organization, and those people have already left Antai Garden. Why isn't Zhu Qingrong hiding, but openly sitting in the pharmacy? Is he so confident that the police won't find anything against him? Or is he truly innocent?
Yu Hanjiang frowned, seemingly lost in thought.
Soon, his colleague who had asked him to check property information also sent him the results: " Captain Yu, the property information you asked us to check for Qingshui Town..." Jinxiu Villa, Building 11, Units 1601, 1602, and 1603—all three properties belong to He Rong. Additionally, it was found that He Rong also owns a sea-view villa.
Meanwhile, He Rong's colleague who was investigating his profession also efficiently sent a message: " Captain Yu, He Rong's current profession is the owner of 'Tianya Club'. The entertainment club he runs in Qingshui Town is very large, with three floors, including foot massage, bathing and massage services."
The colleague checking the household registration reported: " He Rong lost both his parents when he was young and was raised by his uncle Zhong Yongqiang. After graduating from high school, he was admitted to Medical School, but he did not become a doctor after graduation. It is said that he returned to his hometown and abandoned medicine to go into business."
Yu Hanjiang frowned and asked, " Medical School? Which year and which major?"
My colleague said, "He's anesthesiology major, and he's in the same year as Cheng Shaofeng."
The colleague at the bank who was in charge of the investigation quickly sent a message saying, " Captain Yu, we found that He Rong has no loan records with the bank. His private bank statements show many large transactions over the past few years, all of which are real estate transactions. Last November, a woman named Song Xiaoqing bought two of his old houses in the town at a high price, far exceeding the market average. I have also sent you the transfer information from the real estate bureau. In addition, we found no abnormalities in his company's bank statements, nor any tax evasion."
Yu Hanjiang looked at the four documents and narrowed his eyes slightly.
He picked up his phone and summarized the results for his teammates in the group chat: " He Rong has no loans. He is the legal representative of 'Tianya Entertainment Club.' The company's monthly turnover is around 1 million RMB. After deducting expenses and employee salaries, the net profit is about 300,000 RMB. In other words, he can make a net profit of more than 3 million RMB a year just from this high-end club. A house in Jinxiu Villa, the most upscale residential area in the town, costs around 3 million RMB. With his income, it's not surprising that he could buy three houses and a private villa at once."
" He Rong is really rich!" his teammates exclaimed.
"Won't there be any problems with Tianya Club?" Xiao Lou thought for a moment and said, "Although I've never been to a place like that, every time I pass by in real life, there are luxury cars parked in front of the club. There must be a lot of big bosses there, right?"
"Yes, these VIP membership clubs are indeed places that big bosses love to go. Ostensibly, they're for bathing, massages, karaoke, and entertainment, but once the doors are closed, nobody knows what kind of transactions are taking place," Yu Hanjiang said calmly.
"Will there be... body-for-body transactions?" Xiao Lou asked curiously.
"Let's leave that to the anti-pornography and anti-illegal publications office to investigate later. Our main focus is still on He Rong's financial situation. I don't have time to get to the town right now. Xiao Ye and Lao Mo, the Tianya Club should be quite lively tonight. Use the 30 minutes of Invisibility Cloak after your skills refresh at midnight to find out what's going on inside."
"Understood!" Ye Qi and Lao Mo replied simultaneously.
Reply by typing.
"Judging from He Rong's income in recent years, it's not surprising that he can afford so many houses. What's strange is, firstly, why did he buy three houses and specifically combine them to create a luxury mansion, and why would he let his uncle live there?" Yu Hanjiang quickly typed, "Secondly, did He Rong and Cheng Shaofeng have any contact while studying at Medical School? Thirdly, what's going on with his numerous real estate transactions in recent years? Is it simply speculation to make money, or is he laundering money? Fourthly, how did an orphan like him, raised by his uncle, manage to open such a large, high-end club without ever taking out a bank loan? Where did his initial capital come from?"
Yu Hanjiang pinpointed all the problems, leaving his teammates terrified.
" The suspicion surrounding He Rong is skyrocketing! The source of his funds is unclear, and he has connections with Uncle Zhong and Cheng Shaofeng. Uncle Zhong also clearly knows the source of CEO Shao's kidneys…" Ye Qi scratched his head and thought for a moment, then speculated, "Could it be that Uncle Zhong is secretly making money through organ trafficking, then giving the money to his nephew, and using Tianya Club to launder the money from the unclear source?"
"That's possible," Xiao Lou agreed. "That would explain why He Rong bought an entire floor and converted it into a mansion for his uncle Zhong Yongqiang to live in. Most of the money came from his uncle, but his uncle works as an assistant housekeeper in the Shao family and his income is limited. It would be more discreet for his nephew to buy the house."
"There's one more thing," Yu Hanjiang said, looking at the documents in his hand. "Last November, this crucial time point coincided perfectly with the time of CEO Shao and Liu Renyuan's kidney transplant surgery. He Rong suddenly received a large sum of money in his private bank account. Someone bought several of his houses in the countryside for a price several times higher than the market average."
"A house in the countryside? Are the property transaction documents complete?" Xiao Lou asked doubtfully. "Who is the buyer?"
"The property was transferred privately to a woman named Song Xiaoqing. I'll have my colleagues check Song Xiaoqing's information again." Yu Hanjiang paused and said, "For now, we're focusing on He Rong and Zhong Yongqiang. Xiao Ye and Lao Mo will go to his Tianya Club tonight to investigate. I'll make the arrangements here this afternoon and head over as soon as possible to attend his 60th birthday celebration tomorrow."
Yu Hanjiang was silent for a moment, then typed: "I have a feeling that Zhong Yongqiang knows a lot of inside information. Uncle Zhong's sixtieth birthday may be in trouble."
