Zhao Hong took the confession and his hands trembled slightly uncontrollably, and the record seemed to weigh a thousand pounds on his fingertips. His eyes were filled with despair, his pupils contracted slightly, and his lips trembled unconsciously. At this moment, he knew in his heart that the line of defense he had carefully constructed and thought was indestructible had completely collapsed and all crimes were firmly grasped by the police.
"Okay, I'll explain." Zhao Hong finally let go, his voice full of fatigue and helplessness, as if he had been drained of all his strength, "But I have a condition, I want to strive for meritorious service and all my crimes are all alleviated." When he said this, he raised his head slightly, a trace of expectation flashed in his eyes, looking at Lu Chuan.
Lu Chuan looked firm and nodded without hesitation: "As long as you explain truthfully, we will consider your request." His voice was calm and powerful, bringing a serious atmosphere to the interrogation room.
Zhao Hong took a deep breath, his chest fluctuated violently, his eyes were filled with despair and fatigue, and finally decided to confess everything. He spoke slowly, his voice hoarse, as if sandpaper was rubbing, and his throat was blocked. Every word was filled with heavy regret, as if he was telling a story that did not belong to him.
"Everything starts many years ago. At that time, I was just a small businessman struggling in the business world, thinking about making a name for himself and making a lot of money." Zhao Hong's eyes were a little hollow, his eyes wandered, as if he saw his once ambitious self through the walls of the interrogation room. "By chance, I met a person who claimed to be able to help me open up my connections and expand my business. He was the guide to my criminal path and one of the top leaders of the criminal group."
Lu Chuan, Zhang Hui, Lan Bingyu and others sat quietly in the interrogation room, leaning forward slightly, listening to Zhao Hong's confession with all his attention, staring at his every move, without missing any details. Zhang Hui frowned slightly, and recorded key information on his notebook from time to time; Lan Bingyu had sharp eyes and stared at Zhao Hong, as if he wanted to find more flaws from his expression.
"They took a fancy to some of my business methods and ambitions, and threatened and tempted me to join them. At the beginning, I had hesitation, but in the face of huge temptation of interests, I still couldn't hold the bottom line." Zhao Hong showed a bitter smile on his face, the corners of his mouth slightly pulled down, full of regret, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to have become a little deeper at this moment.
As Zhao Hong told the story, the whole picture of the case gradually became clear. He explained how to use his trading company as a cover to carry out money laundering activities. "We fabricate import and export trade and forge goods documents. Those documents are exactly the same as they are, and it is difficult for professional auditors to see through them at a glance." Zhao Hong's voice was a little self-deprecating, "Inserting illegal gains into normal commercial transactions to legalize them."
"Those so-called overseas investment projects are traps we set." Zhao Hong continued, shook his head slightly, as if he was spitting on himself. "It's like the solar power plant project that deceived Lin Hong, it doesn't exist at all. We forged project information and authoritative certification documents, and found a professional team to make them. The documents were made very realistic and stamped with fake official seals, which made the victims mistakenly think that they were investments that were stable and profitable, and thus fell into our trap step by step."
Zhang Hui couldn't help asking, with a hint of anger in his tone: "What's going on with the kidnapping of Lin Hong's daughter Lin Yue?" He clenched his hands unconsciously, and was very indignant at this kind of act of hurting innocent people.
Zhao Hong sighed and his voice was low: "After Lin Hong reported the case, we panicked. The superior instructed us to find a way to get him to withdraw the charges. So I found a few outlaws and gave them a lot of money to kidnap Lin Yue and threaten Lin Hong. I thought at the time that as long as Lin Hong dropped the charges, the police would stop investigating and we could continue to be at ease."
Lan Bingyu frowned and asked, her eyes full of anger: "Aren't you afraid of killing someone?" She felt uncomfortable when she thought of Lin Yue's fear when she was kidnapped.
Zhao Hong lowered his head, his voice so low that he could hardly hear it: "I... I was blinded by the interests at that time and couldn't care about so much." His shoulders trembled slightly, as if he was suffering in his heart.
Then, Zhao Hong explained their communication methods and organizational structure. "We use encrypted communication tools, and each member has a code name. My code name is 'cheetah' to ensure the security of information." Zhao Hong's voice was a little numb, "And as a local branch leader, I directly obeyed the command of a senior executive with the code name 'boss'."
"The mysterious person you met in the cafe was sent by the 'boss'?" Lu Chuan asked, his eyes locked in Zhao Hong.
Zhao Hong nodded and slowed down: "Yes, every time he comes, he conveys the latest instructions from the 'boss' and gives me some important documents, such as how to deal with the police investigation strategy. Those documents are hidden very hidden, but you didn't expect to find them." Speaking of this, Lu Chuan took out the documents found in the safe, and the paper of the documents shone coldly under the light: "Do you admit the contents of these documents?"
Zhao Hong glanced at the document and smiled bitterly, his smile full of bitterness: "Everyone admits that these are all iron evidence of our crimes. The money laundering accounts, fraud plans, and correspondence with other criminals are all true. I just hope to make up for my mistake now."
Lu Chuan asked again: "Then what is the situation of the forces behind you mentioned?"
Zhao Hong was silent for a while, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes: "This is a transnational criminal group with power all over the world. The criminal activities they involve are far more than fraud and money laundering, as well as smuggling and human trafficking. I am just a small node in their huge network, and I know only a few core members. I don't know anything about the others."
Outside the interrogation room, Ren Qiang and other team members were also listening carefully to Zhao Hong's confession through monitoring equipment. They all had surprise and anger on their faces. Unexpectedly, behind this seemingly ordinary fraud case, there was such a huge transnational criminal group. Ren Qiang frowned slightly, thinking in his heart how to cooperate with Interpol in the future to completely destroy this criminal group.
With Zhao Hong's explanation, all the clues and questions from the previous investigation were answered one by one. Zhang Hui and Lan Bingyu’s fight with the suspect in the abandoned factory and the arrest of the abandoned car park are all key links in this criminal chain. Those arrested minions are all bottom members of Zhao Hong's criminal group. They act according to the instructions and provide support for the operation of the entire criminal group.
Although the case of Lin Yue's kidnapping was extremely thrilling, it also became an important opportunity for the police to conduct in-depth investigations. By rescuing Lin Yue, the police obtained key clues from the kidnappers and followed Zhao Hong step by step, finally uncovering the tip of the iceberg of this criminal group.
"I know I have committed an unforgivable crime, and now I just want to be treated lightly." Zhao Hong raised his head, his eyes full of regret, tears of regret, and tears fell down his cheeks and dripped on the interrogation table, "I'm sorry to those victims and my family."
Lu Chuan said seriously: "The law will make a fair ruling for your crime. But you truthfully explain it and provide important help in the investigation of the case. We will truthfully state it to the court."
After the trial, Lu Chuan immediately reported the progress of the case to Song Jiangguo, director of the Municipal Bureau. He told in detail about Zhao Hong's confession, the full picture of the case, and the transnational criminal group behind it.

After hearing this, Song Jiangguo looked solemn and instructed Lu Chuan to hand over the clues to Interpol as soon as possible to cooperate with them to carry out further investigation.
However, the investigation and handling of some overseas cases and the disruption of the entire criminal group eventually handed over the clues to Interpol. Interpol attached great importance to these clues and quickly established a special investigation team to maintain close communication with the Criminal Investigation Detachment of Haizhou Public Security Bureau.
For the Criminal Investigation Detachment of Haizhou Public Security Bureau, this case has temporarily ended. (This chapter ends)
