"You are so arrogant, young man!" Li Hongliang was indeed interested.
Liu Fusheng could tell that Li Hongliang was deliberately trying to lead him to talk, testing whether he had real ability or was just talking nonsense.
Liu Fusheng said casually, "Solving any case is all about untangling the chain of evidence and following the clues. The police have announced that they're still investigating the fraudulent company and the related profit chains. I believe the mastermind has already severed the chain. There's no point dwelling on it!"
Li Hongliang narrowed his eyes and said, "That makes some sense, but since the chain of interests has been cut off and cleared, how can we investigate it?"
Liu Fusheng laughed and said, "Since this is a fraud case, of course we have to check the money!"
Li Hongliang shook his head and said, "You think too simply! The money from the fraud must have been laundered long ago. If they could find it, wouldn't the police investigate it?"
Liu Fusheng ate a peanut, made another move, and then slowly said, "So, I think the investigators' brains are rusted. If we want to solve this fraud case, we must have the ability to think in reverse!"
"Reverse thinking?"
"That's right! It's extremely difficult to launder such a large sum of money in a short period of time, unless it's a large transaction! The case happened in Liaonan City, and there are only a few large companies in the city that can produce such a large amount of money. We need to narrow down the scope and investigate them one by one!"
Bang!
After Liu Fusheng finished speaking, he suddenly dropped a chess piece and said with a smile: "Old man, you lose!"
"Lost?"
Li Hongliang was listening intently when he suddenly realized that he had lost the game!
"How could you lose? It was clearly... wrong just now. What kind of chess move was this?" Li Hongliang asked with wide eyes.
Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "This is also a game from the chess manual 'Dream into the Divine Machine', called 'Bing Ji in Hand'."
"I have the strategy..." Li Hongliang looked confused and scratched his head, "Why don't I remember there being such a game in the chess record?"
"Hehe, the chess records on the market now are just incomplete. Of course you can't see them." Liu Fusheng said as if nothing had happened.
Li Hongliang's eyes lit up, and he asked hurriedly, "So, you've read the entire "Dream into the Divine Machine"?"
"I watched it when I was a child." Liu Fusheng nodded.
Now, Li Hongliang's expression was very interesting.
When he was the secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission, he had a nickname, Li Qichi. In his spare time, his biggest hobby was studying chess records!
The chess records of "Meng Ru Shen Ji" currently available on the market are indeed only incomplete. The complete chess records will not be discovered and released to the world until a few years later.
Liu Fusheng also likes to play chess, and of course he knows all the chess games in the complete chess record very well.
"Where is the chess record? Can you lend it to me to take a look?" Li Hongliang looked at Liu Fusheng expectantly.
Liu Fusheng smiled inwardly, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid there's nothing I can do about it. I also saw it when I was a child in the village. After so many years, the house has been renovated several times. Many of the old items are probably gone..."
"What a pity! It's simply... such a waste of resources!" Li Hongliang slapped his thigh in pain.
But then, the old man's eyes fixed on Liu Fusheng's face. He said with a smile on his face: "Young man, you have read the chess manual, so you must remember a lot of chess moves, right?"
Liu Fusheng nodded and said, "Yes, I have always had a good memory."
"Great!" Li Hongliang excitedly stood up and said, "Come on! Play a few more games for me! You're from out of town, right? If you have nothing to do tonight, come over with me and we can play a few games!"
Liu Fusheng hurriedly shook his head and said, "Don't be ridiculous, old man! I'm going to have an interview for the provincial exam soon, and I've been preparing for the interview questions these past few days! If my family hadn't sent me some mountain products, I wouldn't even leave the house, let alone have time to play chess with you, let alone stay up late!"
As he spoke, Liu Fusheng stood up and pretended to leave with his backpack.
Li Hongliang certainly couldn't let him get away so easily: "Little brother, please stay! If you leave, you'll take my soul away! So, leave me your phone number. I'll find you after you finish your exams... Hey? Are those red mushrooms in your bag? Wild ones?"
While speaking, Li Hongliang also saw the red mushrooms in Liu Fusheng's bag.
"Yes, this is the wild red mushroom that my parents picked in the mountains. It tastes much better than the artificially cultivated ones sold in the market!" Liu Fusheng said with a smile.
"I know, I know..."
Li Hongliang stared at the red mushrooms, wanting to say something but stopping himself, looking very conflicted.
Liu Fusheng didn't say anything, but looked at the old secretary with a smile... These red mushrooms were of course planned by him a long time ago!
In his previous life, when he was a provincial party secretary, he knew that the old secretary, Li Hongliang, loved playing chess and eating red mushrooms! Moreover, Li Wenbo, who had been promoted to the head of the Public Security Department at the time, also had a special liking for red mushrooms!
Liu Fusheng knew that with his background and identity, he had almost no chance of winning against Zhang Zhengting, so he had to take a drastic measure and quickly change his situation!
This time, he not only used chess records and red mushrooms to cater to the interests of Li Wenbo and his son, but also demonstrated his unique insights in handling cases.
Now, Li Wenbo has just been parachuted into Liaonan City and needs to build his own team. No matter from which aspect, there is no reason for the old secretary Li Hongliang to miss Liu Fusheng!
"I originally wanted to give these red mushrooms to my girlfriend's parents, but they disliked them, so I took them back! If you like to eat them, I will give them to you! As for the chess manual, I really have to wait until after my provincial exam interview. I definitely don't have time recently..." Liu Fusheng took out the red mushrooms generously and handed them to Li Hongliang.
Hearing this, Li Hongliang could only sigh and then said, "Then, how much is this red mushroom?"
Liu Fusheng's face darkened, and he pretended to be displeased and said, "What are you talking about, old man? This thing is everywhere in the countryside. If you give me money, isn't that insulting me?"
Li Hongliang thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, then I won't be so pretentious! Little brother, leave me your phone number and I'll treat you to a meal after the interview!"
When leaving his phone number, Li Hongliang carefully asked about Liu Fusheng's name, and asked every word clearly, for fear of any homophones or typos.
Liu Fusheng knew that his move today was the right one!
…
Just as Liu Fusheng expected, not long after he left, Li Hongliang took out his mobile phone and called his son Li Wenbo.
"Wenbo, there's a candidate named Liu Fusheng in this year's provincial exam. He's quite a talent!"
"Liu Fusheng?" Li Wenbo was a little confused on the other end of the phone.
Li Hongliang asked, "Do you know him?"
Li Wenbo said, "The Municipal Party Committee Organization Department just sent over the recruitment list. Liu Fusheng ranked first in the provincial exam, but because he failed the interview review, he was disqualified from the interview."
"Failed the review? That's quite interesting." Li Hongliang said after taking a sip of tea.
"Dad, did this person find you through connections?" Li Wenbo asked.
Li Hongliang looked at the red mushroom beside him and said with a smile: "Not only did I find it, I also collected his red mushroom."
"Red mushroom?"
"It's okay! Since he ranked first in the written test, it means he's quite capable! You just arrived in Liaonan City and need your own team. Find a way to recruit him to work for you!"
Li Wenbo was slightly stunned: "Special recruitment? I'm afraid this is not a good idea, right?"
"Listen to me, I can't be wrong about people! Talent is hard to come by, it's a shame to bury it, and it would be even more of a shame if someone else snatched it away!"
…
Early the next morning, an angry roar was heard in Zhang Zhengting's office!
"Section Chief Wang! How do you manage to be the director of the Admissions Office? Is anyone qualified to take part in the interview?" Zhang Zhengting slammed the table.
His expression was extremely grim. This Liu Fusheng actually got the qualification for the interview? Wasn't this a slap in Zhang Zhengting's face?
Section Chief Wang from the Recruitment Office was sweating profusely, feeling extremely helpless. "Minister Zhang, I really revoked Liu Fusheng's interview qualification yesterday! But, but who would have thought that the Public Security Bureau would directly ask for him, saying that he meets the requirements for special recruitment! Let me continue to send out the notice!"
"What? Meet the special recruitment requirements of the police station? How is that possible! What abilities does he have?" Zhang Zhengting looked incredulous.
Section Chief Wang hesitated for a moment, then said tentatively, "The police were very resolute yesterday. Could it be that this Liu Fusheng... has someone above him?"
