Chapter 204 The left eye twitched again
"Although we remitted the money, we were not the ones who actually paid it."
Su Xiaoxiao and Qi Lei looked at each other. They knew they would have a reason, but they didn't expect it to be this kind.
"If it wasn't you who paid for it, then who paid for it?"
"It's like this. In addition to our own funds, our charity fund also accepts donations from various parties. These donations can be designated for a specific person, or we can decide the donation targets ourselves, as long as we publish the accounts regularly. And this donation was designated for Li Meimei."
Yu Ming spoke in an orderly manner without any nervousness.
“Who is the donor?”
“It was an anonymous donation and the donor did not want to reveal his name.”
"How did the money get into your account?"
"It came from a private account called Cui Xiaolong, and it was noted that it was a donation to Li Meimei. To be honest, I have been doing charity work for so many years, and I also think this is a bit strange.
In fact, Li Meimei’s son Cui Yongyuan also applied to us through our assistance channels, but after we reviewed it, we felt that his family’s situation was between being donable and not being donable. We were still hesitating whether to help or not, but then someone took the initiative to find us and offered such a high amount of money.
The donated amount is actually 400,000 yuan, but the donor asked us to give it in batches, with the first batch being 200,000 yuan.
Of course, we don’t help you for free, we will charge a few points for the service fee.”
“How did the donor contact you?”
"It's the mail."
As Yu Ming spoke, he asked his secretary to bring the printed emails over, and he placed the emails in front of Qi Lei.
Seeing Su Xiaoxiao beside Qi Lei looking at him with a scrutinizing gaze, he seemed to understand what she was thinking.
"Don't get me wrong, I didn't know you would be here today. I printed these out early in the morning for your records. We who do charity work must keep every account clear and not let down the trust that donors have placed in us."
Su Xiaoxiao thought that yesterday's traffic accident had been reported in the news. If this matter was really related to the Xiangrui Charity Foundation, they would have known about the failure of the mission through the news long ago. Although they didn't know when the police would come to their door, they would definitely be prepared in advance. The more thorough the preparation, the more it proved that there was something fishy going on.
After leaving Xiangrui, they went straight back to the office. Yu Ming pushed the blame onto an anonymous donor, saying it had nothing to do with Xiangrui. So now they could only check the anonymous donor and the donation account of Cui Xiaolong.
This is Li Yan's expertise, so just let Li Yan investigate. However, based on their intuition, Qi Lei and Su Xiaoxiao feel that they may find nothing.
Li Yan quickly found out Cui Xiaolong's information. Cui Xiaolong had passed away two years ago, but his account had not been cancelled and was still in use. Someone had used his account to transfer a sum of money to Xiangrui.
As for the source of funds in Cui Xiaolong's account, it went through several hands and was finally traced to an offshore company.
We can no longer investigate further at this point because these offshore companies are not in the country and you can buy one for just a few thousand dollars. Many people use this method to avoid taxes, so it is difficult to trace the source.
It seems that when the other party hired someone to kill someone, they made sufficient preparations to prevent themselves from being discovered.
As for the donor's email address, it is naturally registered anonymously and the source cannot be traced.
Even though she knew the result would be like this, Su Xiaoxiao still sighed. Not finding evidence was not terrible. What was scary was that those people would not stop there, and Captain Qi might still be in danger.
"Okay, don't worry about it. Since we can't find any evidence for now, let's release Qian Yongyuan first."
Su Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she instantly understood what Qi Lei meant. Since someone had paid the money and the matter was not done well, Qian Yongyuan might contact the other party after he went out.
According to Yu Ming's description, the price Qian Yongyuan agreed with them was more than 200,000 yuan. Although he did not complete the task, he would definitely lose his driver's license after such an incident. Without his driver's license, how would he support himself and his family? Therefore, there is a great possibility that he would contact the other party.
"There's one more thing." Qi Lei continued, "Cui Yongyuan's income from driving a container truck is not bad. Although Li Meimei's illness has dragged them down, they are not at the point of despair. So why would he take such a risk?"
"There may be two situations." Su Xiaoxiao thought for a while.
"Which two?" Qi Lei looked at Su Xiaoxiao with admiration.
"The most normal reason is that he urgently needs money to save his life, but we have also checked and found that Li Meimei's cancer is already in the late stage. Even if she has surgery, she will not live long. Moreover, Li Meimei is his mother-in-law, not his biological mother. It is understandable for him to take risks for his biological mother, but for his mother-in-law, most people are not so great.
Then there are two more situations.
One is that he is ill and has reached a point where he is hopeless, and he wants to use his life to leave some money for his family. We have encountered this before; the other is that he has leverage over someone else and has no choice but to do things for them. "
Indeed, Qi Lei nodded.
Xiao Yu suddenly interrupted, "Deputy Qi, when we brought Qian Yongyuan back yesterday and took his fingerprints as a routine, we found that his left hand was burned, so we couldn't record the fingerprint of his left thumb, and he is left-handed."
"Have you asked him?"
"He said that when he was cooking, the pot caught fire and he reached out to grab it and got burned. He didn't take it seriously and the function of his fingers was not affected."
This is a bit interesting.
"Xiao Xiao, you and Li Yan should check if there are any unsolved cases over the years that have left fingerprints of left thumbs."
"Okay, Deputy Qi, are you going to let that man go?"
"Let it go, but we need to assign someone to keep an eye on it. Also, his phone is withheld from us, so ask a colleague from the technical department to help put a locator inside."
"No need to go through so much trouble." Li Yan raised her hand. "I can just install a tracking app on his phone."
Qian Yongyuan was brought over. When he heard that he could leave, he was so excited that he kept shaking Qi Lei's hand to express his gratitude.
"Thank you. If you hadn't stopped the car, I would have been in big trouble this time. You are my second parents."
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Qian Yongyuan with a sincere face and thought that if this guy was pretending, his acting skills were too good.
He is about 173 cm tall, with small eyes and slightly thick lips. He smiles at everyone he meets. He has a fat belly and looks like a simple and honest middle-aged man.
But Su Xiaoxiao knew that the more honest a person is, the more terrible they are when they commit a crime.
After Qian Yongyuan expressed his gratitude to Qi Lei, he came over to thank Su Xiaoxiao, saying that everything that happened that day was thanks to her.
When their eyes met, Su Xiaoxiao's left eye suddenly twitched, and a picture appeared in front of her eyes.
