Diary of a Criminal Investigator

Chapter 214: The Socialite with a Fraudulent Background


Wang Yuyao, the mastermind who scammed Lu Yao out of ten million.

Of course, this name is fake.

There are many photos on the computer of Wang Yuyao with Lu Yao and others, as well as quite a few solo photos.

However, the angles are a bit tricky. Lu Yao's explanation is that the photography wasn't professional enough, so the angles weren't right.

As for sneak shots... that's out of the question.

Lu Yao's experience of being scammed is quite typical.

As a wealthy second-generation, most people who can approach Lu Yao are also wealthy second-generation.

But this wealthy second-generation has a characteristic: average looks and fewer female friends.

It's not that there aren't good-looking ones. Once you have money, you can naturally marry a pretty wife to improve the next generation's genes.

But every social circle has its own way of playing.

The ones who hang out with Lu Yao are mostly the sons of self-made men, who didn't have the capital to improve genes when they had children back then.

As for pretty girls, there are a lot of them.

Several of Lu Chuan's female cousins are very pretty, with both the figure and looks, and they have money too.

But there are really very few who are young, pretty, wealthy girls who love racing.

At Track No. 3, Lu Chuan often goes there and has never seen a young, pretty, well-built wealthy second-generation girl.

He has seen lots of beauties, and they dress quite revealingly.

But they can't integrate into Lu Yao's circle at all.

And the appearance of Wang Yuyao broke the historical tradition of having no wealthy second-generation beauties at the racing track.

Right from the start, she drove a 911 worth more than a million. Although it's not a super high-performance car, it's rare for a beauty to play at this level.

What further trapped Lu Yao and the others was that her driving skills were truly impressive.

After several races, this group of wealthy second-generation all got beaten.

With the looks, the driving skills, and the money, Wang Yuyao quickly captured the hearts of these wealthy second-generation individuals.

Within ten days, they treated her as one of their own.

Even two single wealthy second-generation members launched pursuits towards her.

This is also what most first-generation wealthy individuals expect of their children.

Don't invest; just try to find an excellent partner.

Wang Yuyao was obviously this type.

Besides this, Wang Yuyao never let these second-generation pay for anything.

Every time they had a meal or went out to play, it was Wang Yuyao who spent the money.

In her own words, "I never spend a man's money when I go out to play."

According to the information provided by Lu Yao, just for treating them to meals and outings, Wang Yuyao spent more than a million!

With such a persona, who could resist?

If these guys didn't really have much spare money, they probably wouldn't have been scammed out of any less than Lu Yao.

"Master, how does Economic Crime Investigation handle this kind of case?"

Being scammed for tens of millions, not reporting it is impossible.

Lu Chuan, as a criminal police officer, and a technical one at that, doesn't have the authority to directly participate in such a case.

Having worked for so many years, Liu Guodong has much more knowledge about similar cases.

And with a fraud amount exceeding ten million, it can bypass the police station level and be directly filed with the Economic Crime Investigation team.

"Such a large amount of personal fraud is really rare."

Generally speaking, telecom fraud is more popular now.

Frauding three to five thousand in one go, thirty to fifty thousand, or even hundreds of thousands.

But such a one-time ten million fraud is truly rare.

To be precise, it was ten million seventy-eight thousand.

Excluding Lu Yao's ten million, the remaining seventy-eight thousand is enough to file a case with Economic Crime Investigation.

Liu Guodong shook his head with admiration: "I must say, your cousin really has money."

Lu Chuan agreed with this statement; thirty-something years of New Year's money vanished just like that.

This blow is not just about the amount of money.

There's a sense of destroying Lu Yao's thirty years of efforts.

"I'll call Captain Liao later to ask, but basically the most important thing is to confirm the opponent's real identity. If we can find the person, the rest will be easy."

When Economic Crime Investigation encounters fingerprint verification or other technical problems, mostly they turn to the Criminal Investigation Team for help.

Last time, Lu Chuan helped Economic Crime Investigation by doing a non-destructive fingerprint extraction from an envelope, which was a big help to them.

Liu Guodong and Captain Liao Kai from the Economic Crime Investigation team are also old acquaintances.

Lu Chuan has no objection to this.

As long as the case is filed with Economic Crime Investigation, and the family isn't told, Lu Yao will definitely have no objections.

This is something Lu Chuan can help with.

As for the fraud case itself, if it's not filed, Lu Chuan can't participate.

Fortunately, Wang Yuyao used a fake identity. From the beginning of knowing Lu Yao and these wealthy second-generation, her purpose was to defraud money.

Otherwise, if she met Lu Yao and others with her real identity and then claimed that the money couldn't be returned due to a failed investment project, it wouldn't be fraud; it would just be a failed investment.

With Liu Guodong's intervention, the case filing and investigation speed at Economic Crime Investigation was also very fast.

Logically, the work of confirming Wang Yuyao's true identity was sent to the Criminal Investigation Team.

This is Lu Chuan's area of expertise.

Among the photos Lu Yao sent over, there were quite a few of Wang Yuyao showing a V-sign.

Because some photos were taken with a professional DSLR camera, the pixels are very high, much like the V-sign photo Lu Chuan discovered at the No. 3 race track a while ago.

Fingerprints can be extracted from photos.

This presents no difficulty for Lu Chuan.

With Intermediate Fingerprint Collection Skills and Advanced Fingerprint Verification and Analysis Skills, Lu Chuan's abilities in fingerprint verification and analysis are among the best in the province.

Fortunately, the opponent's fingerprints had a sample in the system.

"A victim of a fraud case?"

Lu Chuan was somewhat surprised to find that the target person for matching the fingerprints was collected from a victim of a fraudulent case reported a year ago.

The woman's name is Sun Yuting, and she is from Qinzhou City.

According to the case files in the system, her experience of being scammed was exactly a replica of Lu Yao's.

Lu Chuan deliberately looked at the amount, and it was worse than Lu Yao's—nearly thirty million.

The related personnel information was sent to Economic Crime Investigation, and the rest was to catch her.

"Third Brother, the woman's real identity has been found. Wait for my news on the rest."

"Alright, alright, do as you see fit, just make sure not to tell the family, Chuan, Third Brother's New Year's money is counting on you!"

With the real identity information, the action on Economic Crime Investigation's side was swift.

Although Sun Yuting is from Qinzhou, she does not currently live there.

Through checking the hotel networking system, the Economic Crime Investigation team found information in the capital where she stayed using her real identity.

Ruihao Hotel, a well-known five-star hotel in the capital famous for its hot springs.

In the penthouse presidential suite on the top floor.

Sun Yuting was enjoying a hot spring bath, with just the right water temperature sprinkled with red rose petals.

Champagne and red wine were placed at hand, and melodious music surrounded her ears.

Though young in age, Sun Yuting's experiences were undeniably rich.

When she was young, Sun Yuting's family conditions were very ordinary, even to the point of being described as stretched.

Before the age of ten, Sun Yuting's life was no different from that of a typical little girl.

However, with the demolition of their shanty town house, Sun Yuting's life underwent a tremendous change.

Villas, luxury cars, gourmet food, private tutors—Sun Yuting's father, though not highly educated, did not have particularly bad habits.

With money, he kept a mistress but never divorced.

He never invested in anything, just deposited the demolition compensation after establishing the family foundation into the bank for interest.

The affluent life hardly exposed Sun Yuting to the dark side of society.

Until the appearance of a man.
