CHAPTER 488: CHAPTER 488: FABRICATED REASONING?

"Officer Luo, you have no proof, please don’t falsely accuse and vilify good people!" Feng Wanshan said angrily.

Loli actually said he was connected to An Jincheng’s disappearance!

"Officer Luo, what’s going on?" Anna asked urgently.

Feng Wanshan said, "Anna, you don’t need to listen to this female cop’s wild talk. I guarantee she has no evidence because your father’s disappearance has nothing to do with me. You should be clear about how I have treated you over the years; you must trust me."

Anna said, "Godfather, I trust you."

Feng Wanshan was pleased, "That’s settled then. Officer Luo, as a policeman, you are unwelcome here if you wrongly accuse good people without evidence. Please leave immediately!"

Anna, however, said, "I haven’t finished. I trust my godfather, but I also want to know what Officer Luo has found, because over the years, godfather has been deceiving me, never really trying to find my father. Instead, Officer Luo and Lin Fan have been seriously investigating."

Feng Wanshan’s face turned dark, and he snorted coldly, "Fine, I’ll care to listen to your nonsense!"

Loli said, "May I speak now? Mr. Feng, 15 years ago, did your company encounter a financial crisis?"

Feng Wanshan said coldly, "So long ago, I don’t remember."

Loli said, "It’s okay if you don’t remember, we can help you recall. Fifteen years ago, your Shengshi Company was in a debt crisis due to failed investments and needed at least 200 million to get through it. Later, you got 200 million in cash through a bank loan, overcoming the difficulty. Am I right?"

Feng Wanshan said, "Why are you talking about this? Yes, I faced financial problems, but the bank helped resolve it. So, what do you want to say?"

Loli said, "The problem lies here. Was that 200 million really from the bank, or did you come up with another way?"

Feng Wanshan snorted, "What nonsense are you talking? The bank loaned me the money back then, and there are records. You can check them."

Loli said, "We checked, and it seems there are no issues at first glance. However..."

Feng Wanshan said, "However, what?"

Loli said, "We suspect that you bribed someone inside the bank to collaborate with you for money laundering. In reality, that 200 million came from another source."

Feng Wanshan angrily said, "Do you have evidence? If not, this is slander. Don’t think that just because you’re a cop, I won’t dare to sue you!"

Loli said, "We don’t have evidence yet, but if our suspicion is correct, finding evidence shouldn’t be difficult. The question now is, if your 200 million came from somewhere else, where did it come from? Could it have come from An Jincheng?"

What?

Anna was extremely shocked, "Officer Luo, what are you saying? Godfather got 200 million from my father?"

"Haha..."

Feng Wanshan couldn’t help laughing heartily.

Loli chuckled, "Is it funny?"

Feng Wanshan laughed, "Of course it’s funny. Miss Officer, excuse me, but I look down on cops like you because I feel you’re not worthy of your uniform! Wouldn’t you investigate Jin City’s financial status before making wild guesses?"

Anna couldn’t help but say, "Officer Luo, my father was just an ordinary teacher. His salary was modest, just enough to support us. My father often taught me to be thrifty; as far as I know, he couldn’t possibly have that much money."

Feng Wanshan sneered, "Hear that? As a police officer, your reasoning is poor. I really don’t know how you managed to become an officer, unless..."

Feng Wanshan sneered, the implication obvious, he was mocking Loli for having gained the position through unsavory means.

This is clearly slander, yet Loli didn’t get angry, instead said, "Don’t rush, I’ll tell you the reason behind our deduction. During our investigation, Lin Fan noticed inconsistencies in a witness’s statement, so we found this person and obtained a lead. A few days before An Jincheng disappeared, he had dinner with this person and confided that he had a friend facing difficulties who was important to him, second only to his daughter, Anna."

Anna’s expression changed, "Second only to me, wouldn’t that be..."

She looked at Feng Wanshan, it was obvious, this person was Feng Wanshan.

Feng Wanshan’s eyes briefly showed surprise, but it quickly vanished as he snorted coldly, "Miss Officer, stop fabricating. Tell me, who told you this!"

Loli smiled, "I can’t disclose this person now, he’s a key witness under our protection. At the necessary time, he will naturally come forward to testify, you’ll find out then."

Feng Wanshan said, "It’s nonsense, no proof!"

Loli said, "What An Jincheng told this witness can prove that this friend is indeed Feng Wanshan, Mr. Feng. Mr. Feng coincidentally faced financial difficulties in those days, and after An Jincheng disappeared, Mr. Feng obtained a bank loan to resolve his financial crisis. So we deduce that Mr. Feng murdered An Jincheng to obtain the funds. Unfortunately, we never considered this direction back then because we were aware of An Jincheng’s financial status."

Feng Wanshan laughed, "What a ridiculous joke! I wonder what your superiors would think of such reasoning. You’re truly disgracing the police! Even if your logical deduction is correct, you have yet to answer my question: Please explain, where did An Jincheng get 200 million from? If you can’t answer this, everything is nonsense!"

Loli said, "On this point, we must thank Miss An."

Anna asked curiously, "Thank me?"

Loli said, "That’s right, from the witness’s testimony we’ve confirmed that the friend An Jincheng referred to must be Feng Wanshan, no doubt, and coincidentally, Feng Wanshan had financial difficulties at the time. The question is, from where did An Jincheng have the money that Feng Wanshan coveted? This question puzzled us for a long time."

Initially, while Lin Fan and I were identifying this ’friend,’ we even ruled out Feng Wanshan due to his financial difficulties back then and An Jincheng’s financial situation being unable to help him.

Until Zheng Yang added more, saying An Jincheng considered this friend almost as important as Anna.

That’s when they focused on Feng Wanshan.

Now they had to resolve this contradictory issue. What way did An Jincheng have to help with Feng Wanshan’s financial issues?

This question was a major obstacle; if it couldn’t be resolved, the investigation couldn’t continue.
