Upon discovering this, Xiao He simply chuckled.
Some people really do follow the example of their superiors; their current miserable old age is perhaps their own retribution.
Xiao Hesui felt no pity.
However, Xiao He then had some doubts.
The video of the previous car accident clearly shows that the old woman couldn't hide her intention to "exchange" the old man for money. When the truck arrived, she pushed the wheelchair and ran ahead, even tripping and falling in her haste. Meanwhile, the old man in the wheelchair slid a short distance and was almost swept away by the tanker truck.
Xiao He originally thought that the old woman was using her husband's life to extort money from her son, but now that he saw that she had a bad relationship with her son, what was her real purpose in doing this?
Is it simply that they're tired of taking care of old men and want to replace the cold, indifferent ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) old man with warm, warm money?
After all, the old man's condition did look quite bad. He was completely unable to take care of himself and was rarely lucid. Most of the time, Zhang Li had to take care of him, cleaning up his excrement, cooking, and washing clothes. Moreover, their money had been swindled away by their son. Although they still had their monthly pensions as a last resort, the old man's medical expenses must have been very high. Zhang Li had been taking care of him for almost three or four years. It was only natural that she couldn't bear to have such a husband.
No one can expect someone to take care of a person who is bedridden for many years without complaint or regret.
This quality may still exist, but it is now rarely seen.
Therefore, Xiao He believed that Zhang Licun intended to kill the person in one go.
However, Zhang Li probably didn't expect that her staged accident would cause such a serious chain reaction, even involving many innocent people.
Just thinking about this stupid and wicked behavior made Xiao He's blood pressure soar.
He then pulled up the real-time monitoring data from that side.
Sure enough, the old woman inside was still insisting that she had a heart condition and that the police should find her a doctor immediately, otherwise she would die soon.
As for anything else, she wouldn't talk about it.
This blind obsession made Xiao He slowly narrow his eyes.
Since acquiring the 【psychological suggestion】 skill, Xiao He, although not yet at the level of mind reading or a psychology master, now has some basic psychology knowledge.
Based on Zhang Li's various behaviors and her attitude when facing the police, Xiao He sensed something was amiss.
I have a feeling... Zhang Li wasn't lying.
Xiao He wasn't the only one with such doubts; after repeatedly questioning him several times, Officer Yang also noticed something amiss.
Judging from Zhang Li's reaction, it does seem as if she is certain that she has a heart condition.
Officer Yang observed Zhang Li's expression, exchanged a glance with the officer beside him, and tacitly shared a look.
Officer Yang then left the room.
A short while later, he came back and informed her: "Alright, Ms. Zhang, we will take you to the hospital for a check-up now. We hope you will tell the truth."
Yes, Zhang Li's reaction also aroused suspicion among Officer Yang and others.
In order to find out the truth and to prevent any accidents, Officer Yang and his team decided to take the person directly to the hospital.
They wanted to see if the old woman was faking it or if she really was.
The group then organized their notes and prepared to head to the hospital.
Only after everyone exited the screen did Xiao He turn off the monitoring link and begin further investigation of Zhang Li.
In fact, besides looking at a person's chat history or phone messages, there is another place that can reveal a lot of information—daily cash flow!
A person's daily spending habits can reflect their current lifestyle and the people they interact with daily.
Thanks to the rapid economic development here, online payment has become widespread. From young children to elderly people with difficulty walking, most people have learned how to use mobile payment.
This greatly facilitated Xiao He's online survey.
And with almost no effort on his part, Xiao He discovered that Zhang Li would pay a large sum of money to someone every now and then.
Sometimes it's once a week, sometimes once every two weeks. Based on the monthly pensions these two elderly people might receive, this expense is almost all that's left after deducting their daily living expenses and the old man's medical treatment.
In other words, someone takes all of the elderly couple's money every month.
Is he their son?
Xiao He checked the account and found it wasn't correct.
That's strange. Zhang Li and her family are practically living alone, with no relatives or friends. How could they have such a fixed expense that has almost emptied their remaining financial security?
Xiao He continued his investigation.
Then, another peculiar note caught my eye—
【son】
When Xiao He first saw this nickname, he didn't react at all, thinking it was a nickname Zhang Li had left for her son.
However, Xiao He discovered that this "son" was constantly having frequent conversations with Zhang Li.
Almost from morning till night, from weekdays to holidays.
Furthermore, their conversation reveals that Zhang Li and her "son" have a very good relationship, and the "son" often visits them.
This contrasts sharply with Zhang Li's own "unfilial son".
Each time this "son" visited, Zhang Li would send him a large sum of money!
At that moment, a flash of inspiration struck Xiao He, and he finally sorted out all the clues!
Non-existent heart disease, non-existent filial piety, non-existent lies—there is only one truth!
Zhang Li was scammed! This "son" was actually a staff member selling counterfeit medicine!
I'm afraid this heart disease is just a lie they told Zhang Li to trick her into buying fake medicine!
Xiao He was furious.
No, what's gotten into him lately? Why does he always seem to run into drug-related issues?! He's Xiao Hei! Stop treating him like the Grim Reaper from next door!
Xiao He then investigated further and discovered that this was actually a fraud gang selling counterfeit medicine, mainly active in several major cities in the north. They had already defrauded many elderly people, involving tens of millions of yuan, which left Xiao He speechless.
No wonder they swindle money from the elderly; they must be really rich!
Xiao He took the opportunity to infiltrate their internal group chat. Watching their interactions and conversations, his previously calmed emotions began to stir again.
【Salesperson A: Have you seen the news?】
【Salesperson B: Hmm, I remember this old guy, the long-term blood pack numbered 1023, super easy to fool.】
【Salesperson C: This old hag is really stupid. She can't even fake an accident properly. I've hinted at it to her several times, but she just won't learn.】
【Salesperson A: Speaking of which, that old man must have a high pension, right? If you let her kill him, how will you make money in the future?】
【Salesperson C: I'm reluctant too, but the old man doesn't live much longer, only a month or two. I definitely want to make one last killing while I can.】
【Salesperson D: Tsk tsk, no wonder he's the top salesperson, ruthless.】
【Manager: Everyone currently in Beijing should withdraw. This matter has blown up too much; the truth can't be hidden forever. If the police find out, it'll be troublesome. You all need to buy tickets immediately.】
【Salesperson A: *&%, I just found a new client.】
【Manager: Get out of here, do you want to go to jail?】
Immediately afterwards, the sales staff in the group hurriedly bought tickets and prepared to run away.
Xiao He sneered.
They came here just to run away with the money?
Did I agree?
Xiao He immediately started hacking these people's phone numbers, intending to prevent them from leaving Beijing, let alone China.
But just then, an unexpected person appeared before Xiao He—
Zhou Junhao is an entertainment reporter for a news agency.
Xiao He was utterly astonished.
Where did this guy come from? And how did he manage to infiltrate this group?
Xiao He had some recollection of this reporter before. During the scandal involving the director of "Fearless Journey," he helped this reporter, restoring the news traffic of this reporter and several other reporters to normal levels, and ultimately destroying the reputation of the director of "Fearless Journey."
However, at the time it was just casting a wide net, and I never expected that we would meet again.
This guy is amazing! He managed to infiltrate such a deep fraud ring!
Xiao He was filled with awe.
At the same time, a brilliant idea flashed in his mind—
With this guy charging ahead, it's much easier for him to take action!
Almost without hesitation, Xiao He followed the same method as before and sent an email to the reporter named Zhou Junhao...
-
Meanwhile, Zhou Junhao, who was undercover, discovered that the fraud gang he had been investigating for several months was preparing to abscond. He immediately became anxious and prepared to call the police.
But at that moment, a pop-up notification suddenly appeared in his email.
Zhou Junhao was taken aback, feeling as if he had seen this scene before.
He instinctively opened his email, then his eyes widened suddenly, gleaming with excitement—
