The key is one week’s time!
As everyone knows, in cases of internet fraud with fake identities, fake information, and fake addresses, if you report it to the police immediately upon discovering you’ve been deceived, the chances of finding the person aren’t small.
But after a week, it enters a difficult period for investigation. The longer the time passes, the lower the chances of tracking them down, and you have no idea where they could be.
Especially after they look into these ID details, the elders either aren’t aware, or can’t describe the person clearly.
Especially with cases from other regions, applying for inter-regional assistance can take an unknown amount of time.
You must know that the case-solving rate for internet fraud is just barely over 3%. Besides the many overseas cases, there are also plenty within the country, where many people realize they’ve been scammed long after it happened.
Particularly with some older gold-diggers, who are all about money and eager to marry, a pretender with wealth can easily spin them around.
Some people even deny they’ve been scammed when the police come knocking, unable or unwilling to believe their dreams of marrying into wealth have shattered.
In the end, these kinds of cases are almost impossible to solve.
Now Mi Shou and these individuals have already been scammed for a week. Five transactions total over a million, allowing the other party to enjoy themselves for some time.
This much time is enough for the other party to transfer the money out, convert it to virtual currency, and probably take it overseas too.
One U Coin is over 7 units; as long as there’s a channel, you can exchange money worldwide. In some foreign places, you can even pay with U Coins and other virtual currencies.
This is another reason internet fraud cases are hard to crack. While we prohibit virtual currencies here, for various reasons, there are too many loopholes and insufficient enforcement.
As for the reasons, many cannot be disclosed; at least, not for people at their level; it’s inappropriate to mention.
So, he could only instruct his subordinates on the other side, "Go back and write an application to quickly investigate these identity details."
Elsewhere, outside a package station, two officers, after making a call, could only return in disappointment.
But they didn’t know that a man was watching them from a distance, then took out his phone and made a call, saying, "Boss Guo, they really are inspecting the package station; you have no issues on your end?"
The other party laughed on hearing this: "I haven’t shown my face. They won’t find me. You go find them; I’ll let you know when the coast is clear."
"They couldn’t even imagine where I am now. Having fake info will eliminate me as a suspect. And they definitely wouldn’t guess I’m now hanging out with an online celebrity!"
"Didn’t the Chen Family have many miraculous things and the protection of the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable? Fighting with gods is endless fun, let those Chen guys bear the debt! Their Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable is nothing special."
...
Chen Family, after Li Rui hung up the phone, also sighed: "All using elderly IDs. We’ll have to see if we can dig anything up from those details. Those delivery guys probably didn’t notice anything. Either an elderly is really involved, or someone’s good at disguising."
"After a week, for this kind of case, we need to notify the cybercrime team. If we’re unlucky and they escape abroad, then..."
Hearing this, Mi Shou’s face turned grim for a moment, understanding that this would take a long time, and if they fled overseas, it might never be solved.
At this point, Chen Kai frowned and said, "There’s now talk online about buying fake Premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea, and it’s not just one person. Online sentiment towards the Chen Family is turning negative."
Chen Han took out his phone to check, and indeed saw posts claiming they bought fake Premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea.
"The Chen Family is really a scam, spent 250,000 and got fake goods!"
"Previously, I bought this Premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea and thought it was odd, just 250,000 for this? Turns out it’s fake!"
"Didn’t the Chen Family say they have the protection of the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable? Selling me this fake tea, will the Celestial Venerable be angry?"
The posts not only displayed the tea leaves but also showed transaction records, chat logs, and electronic receipts, all pointing fingers at the Chen Family.
These are people unhappy about buying fake tea, or some genuinely believed they bought it from the Chen Family. The main issue is, many with a bad attitude towards the Chen Family are getting excited, even though some suggested letting it play out a bit longer to see the truth.
Chen Han’s brow gradually furrowed. Even though the police could clarify it had nothing to do with the Chen Family, it was quite nauseating.
He thought of Youcai, wondering if it could help stabilize the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea and find out who’s responsible, since it is a Dog Demon.
But thinking again, it’s been so long; even as a Dog Demon, it’s difficult, not to mention the distance, how to search?
Then, he thought of something else.
If there’s still some trace of the perpetrator’s presence on this bamboo tube, that item might be more effective.
After all, this needs to be solved through magical means.
At this moment, Li Rui didn’t forget to say to Chen Han, "Patriarch Chen, our team will assist you in clarifying online issues. This is minor; if someone maliciously targets the Chen Family for traffic, we can also ask them to cooperate with our investigation."
While saying this, he suddenly noticed Patriarch Chen heading outside, and spoke to him: "Captain Li, follow me!"
It was clear from his face that there was a hint of joy.
Li Rui and Chu Ping were momentarily surprised.
