Siheyuan, Rainwater is the master, Shazhu wins

Xu Damao ran all the way and rushed into the police station gate panting.

As soon as he entered the door, he looked around anxiously, and his eyes finally fixed on Officer Li.

As if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, he ran to Officer Li in two steps, and then fell to his knees with a plop.

"Officer Li, please save me!

I've been scammed out of all my money!"

Xu Damao cried and complained with tears in his eyes. His pitiful appearance made people feel pity for him.

When Officer Li saw this, his heart suddenly tightened and he immediately realized that this might not be an ordinary case.

He quickly bent down, reached out to help Xu Damao up, and comforted him.

"Don't be anxious, stand up and talk. Let's find a place to sit down and tell me what happened in detail. After I understand the situation clearly, I will see if there is any way I can help you."

Xu Damao nodded gratefully and obediently followed Officer Li to sit on a bench nearby.

With Officer Li's patient persuasion and comfort, he gradually calmed down and began to slowly recount the whole process of how he was deceived.

Time passed minute by minute, and after about half an hour, Xu Damao finally finished telling all the details.

Officer Li listened attentively, frowning slightly and thinking for a moment from time to time.

After Xu Damao finished speaking, he remained silent and fell into deep thought.

Obviously, this case is much more complicated than it appears on the surface, and requires careful sorting out of the key clues and doubts.

After a long while, Officer Li raised his head and asked again.

"Do you remember that account?"

Xu Damao must have remembered it, after all, he put 30,000 yuan into it.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll write it down right away."

As Xu Damao spoke, he quickly picked up the paper and pen next to him and started writing.

Just a minute later, Xu Damao put down his pen.

Officer Li took the paper written by Xu Damao, stared at the account on it, and understood it in his mind.

There was no doubt that Xu Damao had been deceived!

Officer Li took a deep breath, slowly raised his head and looked at Xu Damao, and said with a serious and solemn expression.

"Da Mao, what I am going to say may not sound pleasant, but you must listen carefully.

This incident was clearly an elaborate scam.

Let’s not talk about anything else for now. When you are doing business, you should at least know what is a normal and reasonable transaction, and what are the situations that are likely to be traps set by scammers.”

Then, Officer Li explained in detail.

"Take this case for example, the so-called Mr. Huang is most likely just a middleman from the mainland.

He often uses the guise of helping to introduce business to trick victims like you into transferring money into an account in Hong Kong.

Once their accomplices on the other side of Hong Kong receive the news that the transfer is successful, they will immediately take the money away.”

Having said that, Officer Li paused for a moment and observed the reaction on Xu Damao's face.

Seeing Xu Damao's face full of surprise and regret, Officer Li continued.

“The key issue now is how to recover the money.

Without further ado, come with me to the bank.

If the money has not yet been transferred, then we may still have a chance of recovering it.

But if it has already been transferred out, then it will be really troublesome.

After all, you can't just go to Hong Kong to find those scammers, right?

Even if you really go, you are unfamiliar with the place, and we have very little cooperation with them, so it is not easy to get the money back. I believe I don’t need to explain this point any more.”

Xu Damao was already panicking, this meant that I would never get my money back.

"Well, Officer Li, let's go and ask at the bank."

Xu Damao said.

Officer Li, considering that both parties were acquaintances, said hello to the others and took Xu Damao to the bank.

Another half an hour passed before they entered the Bank of China customer service center.

Due to Officer Li's extraordinary and special identity, it didn't take long for a special person to come and take over the matter.

The staff member spoke to Xu Damao with a serious face.

"Comrade Xu Damao, please be patient and wait for a moment.

As for the specific process of this matter, it is not available to you for the time being because of some regulations and confidentiality requirements. But please rest assured that I will do my best to help you find out the relevant situation, and I hope you can understand this.”

After saying this, the staff member signaled Xu Damao with his eyes and added.

“I hope you can remain patient enough to wait for the results.”

Even though Xu Damao felt somewhat dissatisfied and anxious, what could he do in the face of the current situation?

This is not an ordinary place where you can act wild!

Even though he was full of anger, he would never dare to act recklessly here at this moment.

Therefore, he had no choice but to nod his head obediently and agree, indicating that he was willing to cooperate and wait.

Time passed minute by minute, and about ten minutes later, the staff member who had just left to investigate finally hurried back.

He first glanced at Officer Li and Xu Damao, then showed a slightly regretful expression and slowly spoke.

"I'm really sorry, after verification and confirmation by our settlement center, the money has completed the final settlement operation and is not currently retained by us.

Moreover, we have also contacted the relevant banks in Hong Kong and made inquiries. The information we received is that the account you mentioned is now empty, and all the funds in it were withdrawn yesterday."

At this point, the staff member paused for a moment, then took out a piece of paper and handed it to Officer Li, while continuing.

"But fortunately, the other bank sent us a document like this, maybe it can be helpful to you."

Officer Li took the reply slip and took a closer look. It turned out that it contained detailed information about the owner of the account.

"Okay, thank you very much, we will leave first then."

After expressing his sincere gratitude to the staff with a smile, Officer Li sorted out the information in his hands and started to leave the place with Xu Damao.

Officer Li had a clear mind. He knew that this was the extent of the investigation that could be done at present. The next crucial step was to capture the suspect named Huang.

When he thought of this, he quickened his pace unconsciously, and he couldn't wait to rush back to the police station to arrange related matters.

And where is Xu Damao at this time?

When he heard the conversation between Officer Li and the staff, he felt as if his soul had been sucked out of him and he instantly became dispirited.

He had hoped to get his lost money back, but now it seemed that hope was slim.

However, despite being filled with despair and helplessness, Xu Damao still followed Officer Li like a zombie and slowly walked out of the bank door.
