Chapter 392 - 392 359 Accurate

392: 359 Chapter Accurate 392: 359 Chapter Accurate Wang Chuanxing gathered four team members, making a team of five, which was just enough for one car, and they set off for Chiyong City.

The five drove in shifts, without changing cars, and by the early morning of the next day, they had checked into a hotel.

After a muddled few hours of sleep and waiting for daylight to fully break, Wang Chuanxing then made a call to Yuan Ben, a detective from the Chiyong City Bureau they had contacted earlier.

Yuan Ben had been contacted through Meng Chengbiao, but they weren’t very familiar with each other either, having had only some business dealings in the past.

As the saying goes, “All criminal police are one family.” Today I might handle a case in your territory, and tomorrow you might do the same in mine.

As a result, seasoned detectives all have a thick contact book.

However, Yuan Ben didn’t take Wang Chuanxing and his team very seriously.

A few young detectives from out of town wanted to work a case, so he just helped to report it.

Similar situations probably arose every week, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Wang Chuanxing and his team wouldn’t have too many demands.

They’d made their report, and they would stick to the plan they had devised before coming, starting with advertising and printing companies.

Compared to a print shop, an advertising company…

is like a larger, more professional print shop.

They usually have printers, embossing machines, and paper cutters, as well as related plotting skills that could also be used to counterfeit money.

In fact, given the current level of technological advancement, if professionals in this field in many cities wanted to acquire relevant materials, most would have the ability to make counterfeit bills.

Especially for the less security-protected 20 Yuan notes, if one aimed for a 90% similarity, it wasn’t too hard to achieve.

Taking it a step further, if one was willing to purchase semi-finished products, a 99% similarity could also be achieved.

Of course, the process would leave heavier traces.

Wang Chuanxing first began by visiting the businesses that had recently purchased the Epson R330 printer.

The machines required for making counterfeit notes were limited, among them embossing machines and paper cutters were considered quite large machinery.

If a shop had them already, they could be used directly.

But as for printers, firstly, they needed to be modified and secondly, multiple printers were needed – to print 10,000 twenty Yuan notes amounts to only 200,000 Yuan.

Using only one printer would be too slow, and most criminals don’t have that kind of patience.

If someone had that patience, they probably wouldn’t choose counterfeiting as their crime.

On the other hand, printers wear out with a lot of printing.

Modifying one printer was the same as modifying several, and the cost of an R330 wasn’t high, so most counterfeiters would modify several at once, churning out fake notes in the hopes of making a fortune that would last forever.

Wang Chuanxing made a list and crossed off each advertising print shop they visited.

After visiting several companies, the group became somewhat silent.

“Brother Wang, should we follow up on the courier’s trail?” Chen Shan, sitting in the passenger seat, was getting somewhat impatient.

Wang Chuanxing said, “Do you think the culprits aren’t in Chiyong City?”

“The express mail was sent from Chiyong, but isn’t it too risky to mail it on the spot?” Chen Shan pondered and said, “If I were the culprit, I’d rather load up a truck and drive it to a nearby city to send it.”

“How much of a difference would that make?” Someone else started to retort, “The cities around Chiyong City aren’t big.

It would be easier to find someone there than in Chiyong City, right?”

Wang Chuanxing said, “Carrying a bunch of counterfeit notes on the road might not be safe either.”

“But it’s still possible, right?” Chen Shan said, “I just feel that Director Liu’s reasoning is rather hollow, giving off a sense of unreliability.”

“But most of the time he is correct.

Moreover, this time Captain Jiang conducted the document examination,” Wang Chuanxing said.

“The culprit probably doesn’t realize that the type of printer they used can be identified.”

“That’s true.” Chen Shan thought the culprit was probably a bit smarter than Wang Chuanxing believed, but not by much.

After all, to this day, those who think they can get rich by counterfeiting money are limited in intelligence.

Slightly smarter individuals would at least be at the top of the counterfeiting chain, selling tutorials on the dark web and possibly making even more money.

“We’re here.” Wang Chuanxing drove the car and parked in front of a white factory building.

“A standalone building with two floors, Weihao Advertising Company, this looks somewhat promising,” Chen Shan commented before getting out of the car.

Without further ado, the two detectives in the back seat went around to the back.

Wang Chuanxing and the others were in position and proceeded to knock on the door, a routine they had gone through several times before.

It took a long while for someone to leisurely come and open the door, and then they blocked the entrance, asking, “Who are you looking for?”

“Police,” Wang Chuanxing flashed his badge and then asked, “Is the person in charge here?

Can we come in?”

“That would be me.” The man at the door was clearly flustered, with a flicker of panic in his eyes.

That look in his eyes was all too familiar to Wang Chuanxing and his colleagues.

Someone silently stepped forward, almost close to the man who had opened the door.

Now, unless the man had exceptional physical agility, escaping would be very difficult.

“We’ll come in and have a look,” confirmed Wang Chuanxing and his team, no longer as polite as before.

The officers pushed past him as they talked.

They didn’t even need to go further inside; through the semi-transparent partition, they could see several familiar Epson printers at work.

One of the officers immediately went over.

“That…

you can’t come in…” The suspect yelped as if he had just woken from a dream.

By that time, the officer who had gone inside was already raising his left hand.

“Don’t move.” Wang Chuanxing took a step forward, and in coordination with his teammate, subdued the man at the door.

“Quite a sum of money here,” the officer who had gone to check couldn’t help but comment as the suspect was apprehended.

As Wang Chuanxing pushed the suspect forward, he saw that the back half of the workshop was lined with eight printers, busily clicking away.

At the same time, the ground was covered with cardboard boxes filled with bundles of 20 yuan banknotes piled inside.

“What’s this?” Wang Chuanxing asked, pointing at the counterfeit money.

The suspect, still clinging to hope, muttered, “These are props for a movie…”

Wang Chuanxing laughed out loud and then asked, “Where are the rest of your company’s people?

The others?”

“The others have resigned.

Business was slow, the money we earned didn’t reach the accounts, and the employees gradually left.

I couldn’t leave, so I just had to endure,” the suspect said, revealing a touch of genuine emotion.

Wang Chuanxing just scoffed, “No matter how hard business is, that’s no excuse for making counterfeit money.”

“I…

I didn’t make any counterfeit money,” the suspect replied guiltily.

“Dyestuffs, semi-finished counterfeit bills, financial records…” Wang Chuanxing casually listed a few items, then said, “If you can explain all of this, we’ll go home.”

By then, more counterfeit money had been gathered together.

By the time Yuan Ben received the news and hurried over, what he saw was over a million yuan in 20 yuan bills.

The 60,000-plus banknotes abundantly displayed the counterfeiter’s substantial assets…

“With all this capital investment, why on earth would you counterfeit!” Yuan Ben exclaimed in distress and then asked Wang Chuanxing, “How did you guys know to come here?”

“Captain Jiang and Director Liu planned it out,” Wang Chuanxing replied casually.

“Quite accurate,” Yuan Ben remarked, contemplating the situation.
