Chapter 833: Chapter 299: How to Commit a Crime Without Breaking the Law!
"Beep beep beep—"
After a series of busy signals.
The phone was connected.
A young girl’s voice came from the other side: "Hello? You are..."
The voice carried a hint of confusion.
Because...
Their landline, when dialed out, displayed as local 110.
"Hello? Hi."
Shen Dao held the landline receiver and asked gently, "I am the police from Jin City Police Station. Are you Luo Siyu?"
This time.
He was trying to return part of the recovered funds.
Therefore, it was crucial to ensure the person on the other end was indeed the victim.
To confirm the identity before proceeding with further notifications.
"Yes, I’m Luo Siyu. You... are police?"
On the other side of the phone.
The girl hesitated for a few seconds, somewhat doubtful, and asked, "What do you want with me?"
"It’s like this, I mainly want to confirm that you were previously involved in a series of investment projects at Yunxiao Communication Culture Co., Ltd, right?"
Shen Dao nodded, then continued to inquire.
"Yes."
Luo Siyu did not deny it but sounded more cautious.
"We have arrested the criminals, and part of the funds you were duped into investing has been recovered."
Shen Dao didn’t beat around the bush and continued, "When are you free to come to Jin City Police Station and sign? We can then transfer the funds back to your account."
As an experienced police officer.
He didn’t say anything extra, directly notifying the necessary information.
Cases like recovering funds...
Are usually announced online beforehand, and then the individuals come to the police station to handle the transfer.
Especially when the amount is considerable.
For smaller amounts, they are directly returned to the individual’s account, noted as funds recovered by the police.
Moreover.
He didn’t ask for any identification, simply notifying the situation.
Just when he thought everything was fine...
From the phone.
Came a mocking laugh: "A scammer?"
Shen Dao’s face stiffened.
He was suddenly stunned.
He clearly hadn’t done anything wrong.
He merely asked the person to come to the police station.
And he was called a scammer?
He paused, patiently explaining, "Hello, I’m from Jin City Police Station, police ID is xxxxxxx. If you still don’t believe, you can come to the station personally to verify."
But just as he finished.
The other side sneered again: "Keep it up, keep making up stories!"
"You think I don’t know your scam tactics? Pretending to be police, trying to trick me out of money?"
"I don’t know where you got my information, but I’m telling you, I’m not that easy to fool!"
"You better give up and call someone else!"
After saying that.
Without waiting for Shen Dao to explain, the phone was directly hung up.
"Beep beep beep—"
Shen Dao listened to the busy signal coming through the receiver, momentarily stunned.
Apparently...
The other person thought he was a scammer.
"Captain Shen, you see, this Luo Siyu isn’t the only one. We’ve called others who hang up before hearing us out."
"These people’s awareness of scams is too strong, even doubting our authenticity as police?"
"Actually, it’s not their fault. There’s been quite a few impersonating police these years."
"How could such alert people fall for Nie Yunxiao’s scheme?"
"..."
The nearby officers looked perplexed.
Appearing utterly confused.
This time.
They recovered part of the funds for over a thousand people, involving many cases.
It’s impossible to visit each one.
This would take ages to accomplish.
Therefore.
They could only use this method to notify the victims.
They must provide the corresponding bank account, confirm their identity, to return the funds.
But...
These people act as if they’ve taken the wrong medication, instead thinking the police are the scam artists.
"Keep calling!"
Shen Dao frowned and said sternly, "If the calls don’t go through, then send text messages!"
At this point.
He didn’t have any better solutions, only notifying them one by one.
To see how many believe.
Eventually.
Persuading those who don’t believe they have been scammed.
...
Meanwhile.
In Jin City.
Inside a certain villa.
"Who called?"
Xie An Country looked at Luo Siyu beside him and couldn’t help asking.
A few days ago.
He had consulted Qin Mu about divorcing and splitting assets.
Had thoughts of divorce.
His young wife repeatedly indulged in success studies, and he couldn’t sway her.
He didn’t want to waste breath anymore.
But...
These days.
Luo Siyu has stayed home every day, suddenly giving up attending success seminars.
It quite surprised him.
Upon inquiry.
Luo Siyu told him the master was ill and lessons were suspended.
So she was staying home to accompany him.
Faced with her tenderness.
He ultimately couldn’t resist the doubt, didn’t want to mention divorce.
After all...
Men like young women in their twenties.
Though he is nearly seventy, he is no exception.
"Hmph! Just a scammer!"
Luo Siyu put down the phone and pouted, "These people, pretending to be police, claimed I’ve been scammed, asking me to go to the police station to return my money!"
Regarding the content of the call just now.
She didn’t believe a word.
"Scammer?"
Xie An Country was slightly startled, saying with an odd expression, "You... can actually recognize a scam call?"
