Chapter 666: Chapter 249 Qin Mu: Can’t I get a break from work?_3 Qin Mu swallowed hard.

Song Tiancheng nodded, surprised. "How did you know?"

He had no choice but to put down his phone, stop slacking off, and ask, "What happened? Weren’t you jogging by the riverbank this afternoon?"

The last incident, the case of saving the drowning dog... Old Song was the one who had discovered it.

Song Tiancheng sat down on a chair.

"So..." He paused.

As he spoke, he lifted the bag he was carrying and tossed it in front of Qin Mu, his face beaming with smug satisfaction, clearly expecting praise.

"Now, the money has been transferred, so the crime has been committed. The cash has my fingerprints on it, and I have the shoddy health products he gave me."

He believed he’d considered everything thoroughly, without the slightest oversight.

"By the way, how long is the sentence for defrauding someone of three thousand yuan? What should I do next?"

Qin Mu, however, wore a very peculiar expression as he looked Song Tiancheng up and down.

He knew the person selling health products was a scammer, yet he still transferred the money... all to ensure the crime was committed.

Now that the money was paid, the man was long gone. Even if they reported it to the police, the police would have to search high and low for this health product-peddling scammer.

Regarding the threshold for filing a case... Song Tiancheng had nailed it. He was even willing to let three thousand yuan go down the drain just like that.

"After filing the case, you just wait for news. Once they catch the person, you can press charges, they’ll be sentenced, and you should be able to recover the stolen money," Qin Mu said irritably, rolling his eyes.

This was nothing like the scenario he had imagined.

By then, he’d be able to boast about his exploits to Old Zhang and the others. In fact, he’d already figured out how many years he could dine out on this story.

This type of fraud was different from online scams. Peddling substandard health products in person often meant being caught by the extensive public surveillance network. As long as they pursued the investigation diligently, they could identify the fraudster relatively quickly. The investigation difficulty was comparatively low.

Three thousand yuan. For an elderly person, that wasn’t a small sum. If it were truly lost, Old Song would probably be angry enough to have a heart attack.

If they couldn’t catch the person... the money might really be gone for good.

"I’ll go report this to the police now."

"Honestly, why is everyone such a handful?" Qin Mu grumbled helplessly after Song Tiancheng left.

You know, just a few days ago, his job had been quite relaxed, with nothing happening at all.

But... he had barely been sitting for a few minutes when he saw Zhang Qingyuan rush in.
