Legendary FBI Detective

Chapter 826 Start investigation

 “No one knows?”

 Wednesday, 2:30 pm, Insomnia Building, Office Area of ​​the Special Investigation Team.

 Looking at the interrogation record shown by Chenelle, Winslow and Michelle were very surprised. Lacey asked in disbelief:

“Don’t the gangsters in the underground casino know about the counterfeit money?”

 “They know it and they don’t know it.”

 Chenier spread her hands and said helplessly:

“To put it simply, the person in charge of the casino knew the secret room, which was used to store and count money.

But Giannido's gang has strict management. The person in charge of the casino is only responsible for maintaining order. Money matters have always been taken care of by Giannido's cronies.

 The person in charge only knew that the money was there, but had never touched it, let alone knew that the money was counterfeit. "

Mona then asked:

 “What about Giannido’s cronies? Do they know about the fake money?”

  “It’s a pity that I didn’t have a chance to ask the other party.”

 Chenier found a photo of the action scene and showed it to everyone, explaining:

 “These are the trusted men on earth who are in charge of money.”

  “…”x4

Looking at the cronies who died next to Giannido and were also blown up all over the floor by grenades, everyone in the office area was speechless.

“It doesn’t matter, these situations also provide us with some clues.”

When the agents didn’t know what to say, Luo An opened the office door and walked in with documents, smiling:

“Since those reading dealers and gang members do not know about counterfeit banknotes, and only Giannido’s cronies have the ability to access them.

 That means the people selling these counterfeit banknotes are only connected to Giannido or his cronies. "

Winslow and Lacey nodded slightly. Chenelle thought for a while and asked:

“Luo An, the person you just mentioned “selling counterfeit banknotes”

 Are you suspicious of the person who sells counterfeit banknotes, not the person who makes them? "

 “That’s right.”

Luo An nodded and smiled:

“In terms of counterfeit banknotes, the person who makes the counterfeit banknotes only needs to be responsible for the production, while the person who sells the counterfeit banknotes has many things to consider.”

  “…”x5

Luo An's words made everyone present feel confused, but they didn't know what to say.

 After a few seconds of silence, Lacey complained:

“Why do you feel that making counterfeit money is so easy in your mouth, Luo An?”

“Paper, watermark, ink, security thread, printing, portrait, number…”

Luo An smiled, distributed the documents in hand to everyone, and said:

“In the eyes of most people, counterfeiting money is really difficult, but in the eyes of other people, counterfeiting money may not be easy...”

 All the agents were too lazy to complain about Luo An's words. They looked at the information in the folder, and the expressions on their faces suddenly became very surprised:

“Is there a big difference between the paper of counterfeit banknotes and the paper of real banknotes?”

 “That’s right.”

Luo An picked up the counterfeit twenty-dollar bill from the table and said with interest:

"Several currency experts contacted by Chief Trick Kennedy, after careful inspection, are convinced that this batch of counterfeit banknotes totaling 500,000 US dollars, whether it is watermarks, inks, security threads, printing, portraits, etc., are very Superb.

 Three years ago, experts determined that the people who made the counterfeit bills discovered in California were most likely the same group as the makers of this batch of counterfeit bills.

 The techniques are very similar, but the technical level in other aspects has increased by more than ten times. "

"Wow."

After reading the summary report in the folder, Mona’s eyes flashed with surprise, she raised her head and said:

“In other words, these people have completely understood the production process and techniques of U.S. dollars. Are they replicating and making counterfeit banknotes?”

"You can say that."

Luo An shook the twenty dollars in his hand and said:

“Except that the serial numbers are not issued by the federal government, these counterfeit banknotes can basically be identified as genuine banknotes printed and issued by private individuals.”

 “What a bunch of talent.”

Looking at the twenty dollars, Winslow, Michelle and Chenelle’s faces were full of emotion. Lacey thought for a while and said:

“I have a hunch that if we catch this group of counterfeiting experts this time, they won’t go to jail at all.

Or they only need to go to jail for a short period of time before being transferred and recruited by our FBI or other departments. "       " We will talk about the future later. No one has been captured yet. "

Mona rolled her eyes at Lacey, she put down the folder and looked at Luo An, and asked:

“Luo An, where do we start our investigation next?”

“We need to investigate this case separately.”

Luo An was silent for a moment, rubbed his temples, and said:

“From the information at hand, it can be concluded that Giannido and his cronies have definitely had contact with the person who sold counterfeit banknotes.

Mona, Lacey, you two work together and carefully investigate the interpersonal relationships, call records and other information of these two people during their lives. We have to find a way to find that guy.

In addition, the group of counterfeit banknotes cannot possibly only make these five hundred thousand US dollars. They must have other counterfeit banknotes, which will most likely be sold to others.

Chenelle, please investigate this situation and carefully check the situation in other states in the federation to see if there are any similar counterfeit banknotes on the market.

If so, contact the local law enforcement department to take it back. We will then look at the situation and decide whether to go to the local area to investigate and see if we can find the original sender of the counterfeit banknotes. "

 “OK.”

"no problem."

Mona, Lacey and Chenelle all nodded and accepted the order. Winslow raised his hand:

 “Where are Michelle and I?”

“You may have a lot of work to do next.”

Luo An walked into his team leader’s office, found another folder and handed it to Winslow and Michelle, introducing:

“The process of making counterfeit banknotes is very long and involves many details, the most important of which is paper.”

Michelle took the folder and looked at it carefully. Her eyes suddenly widened and her face was full of astonishment:

“Is this the only paper mill in the federation capable of using cotton fiber and hemp to make paper?”

 “That’s right.”

  Luo An explained:

“The paper that makes the twenty-dollar bill is made of cotton fiber and hemp.

Your next job is to contact them to investigate the situation and see if anyone has tried to contact them in the past three years to purchase paper that can be used to make U.S. dollars. "

Winslow looked at the thick list of more than ten pages of factories, twitched the corner of his mouth, and asked:

 “Why can’t the group of counterfeit banknotes make their own paper?”

 “The price of making paper is too high.”

Roan patted Winslow on the shoulder and explained:

“The fundamental purpose of making counterfeit banknotes is to make money, so the cost must be low.

 It is better to make a $100 piece with a raw material price of $1 than to make a $100 piece with a raw material price of $50 or even higher.

 Among them, the most expensive one is papermaking, which is completely uneconomical in terms of economic cost. "

 The market price of counterfeit federal banknotes is about $100 in counterfeit bills, which can be sold for $30 in real bills.

If the total price of raw materials for a counterfeit bill exceeds $30, you are almost losing money.

 “OK.”

Winslow nodded, took a few deep breaths, turned around and walked to the workstation with Michelle to start working.

Mona, Lacey, and Chenelle also began to deal with the work they were responsible for. Roan pondered for a few seconds, took out his mobile phone and called Trick Kennedy:

“Good afternoon, sir, there is something else I need your help with regarding the counterfeit money case...”

 We were busy, and it was time to get off work quickly. After a brief tidying up, everyone laughed and drove away.

Roan and Mona were not in a hurry to go home. They drove to a chain supermarket to buy some ingredients for dinner. While selecting the ingredients, a gunshot suddenly exploded not far from them!

boom!

 “Don’t eat the sour radish! Give me the money!”
