Chapter 0006: Troubles and Clearing Traces

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

He took a handkerchief out of his pocket, inadvertently revealing a small piece of wire and a pair of tweezers. He glanced around in a flustered manner, and when he left, he completely failed to notice a key marked with the number 403 that had slipped out of the handkerchief and fallen to the ground

"Damn it, I'm not talking about working."

At the latest tomorrow morning, or even tonight, there may be a vagrant sneaking into this house. Even if the police come afterwards, they won't find any useful clues.

If he stays in each place for just a few days like in the movie, traveling around all the major cities in the United States, a few months would pass, and this matter would not be significant at all

That bastard Frank enjoyed himself for a week and then came back to work as a temporary employee, primarily attracted by the fact that both of their workplaces were in affluent areas. Once someone paid with a check, they would be able to obtain information about these individuals

Ten minutes later, Frank, carrying a large backpack and holding two green canvas tote bags in his hands, stood at the door

After he walked for more than ten meters, someone came over and picked up the keys.

Seeing Li Changheng's unusually grim expression, Frank immediately lost his composure, jumped up from the sofa, and without saying a word, quickly joined Li Changheng in packing their belongings.

Compared to Li Changheng, who is only one year older than me, I am even more convinced. I never even thought that Li Changheng would despise me.

After reading several detailed and organized case studies, he finally realized that the investigative techniques of the American police and the FBI, which seemed outdated to him as a person from the future, were still applicable. However, Frank's actions of deceiving private accounts at this moment,

Moreover, in the Heavenly Dynasty, apart from transactions between companies and between companies and individuals, the working class rarely, rarely comes into contact with checks.

After a few minutes, with a small piece of iron wire and a pair of pointed tweezers in his pocket, Li Changheng passed by a gathering of homeless people

Lawyers who want to earn legal fees and American police officers who want to gain more credit will not let them go.

While Li Changheng was pondering whether there were any loopholes, he never considered why he could come up with such a solution without thinking, especially when he was nervous

A smile at the corner of the mouth, and then Frank said with some joy and anxiety, "The plan is successful, should we leave Chinatown early, or even leave San Francisco?"

The case I saw in the library today made him understand that sometimes using a check to defraud money from a personal account is even more dangerous than defrauding a large company's account

After waiting for more than half an hour, the anxious Frank threw his backpack and handbag two meters away onto another residential building. After the two of them jumped over, they crossed another building before finally going downstairs to leave

"That's right, that's right, you still think it through carefully," at this moment, Frank, who had no experience in this regard, would do whatever Li Changheng said.

The bank and the victim will certainly sue him and Frank in order to recover their losses

Seeing Li Changheng, who was carrying a backpack, begin to wipe around the room with a towel, it became clear with just a moment's thought that he was wiping away fingerprints

The genuine and counterfeit checks are written in the same manner. Once Li Changheng cashes the check, he even transfers the money into an account he opened himself at the bank.

"I told you to pack your things," Li Changheng glared at Frank and growled, "immediately, right now"

Looking at Frank, who was two meters away, hunched between the armrest and backrest of the loveseat like an ostrich, I suddenly found myself at a loss for words

Li Changheng walked home, using the smooth surfaces of objects such as street corner turns, shop windows, and neon lights to observe without turning back several times

Thus, after changing his coat, Li Changheng, wearing a baseball cap, brought Frank to the fourth floor of the building opposite their room, where they saw several homeless individuals entering the room they had previously occupied

He said cautiously, "I haven't made any mistakes at work these past few days"

Yet unbeknownst to them, Li Changheng was contemplating whether to take the opportunity to rid himself of the troublesome Frank

It seems as if these experiences are imprinted in my mind, allowing me to recall them naturally in urgent situations

"Where are you going?" Frank asked in surprise, "What on earth has happened?"

The group of vagrants waited downstairs for half an hour, and upon seeing that room 403 had no lights on, one of them spoke up, "That little brat must be a pickpocket. Let's go up and borrow some money from him; he definitely won't dare to refuse, and he certainly won't call the police.

As for the landlord, he only sees us once a month; if he were to meet us face to face, he would certainly recognize us

Then there is Frank, a guy who doesn't even wear makeup yet is so handsome that it would be difficult for the bank's window staff to forget him

He, whose thoughts turned quickly, did not express what he wanted to say

Li Changheng, feeling somewhat anxious, placed his backpack on the table, walked to the side of the sofa, and sat down on the armchair.

Li Changheng threw the backpack on his back to him and said, "You take the luggage and wait on the balcony of the top floor. I will go to White Street with the key shortly; there is an alley over there where the homeless gather.

Some people may go their entire lives without ever seeing what a check looks like, let alone understanding the related precautions.

The most critical issue is that Li Changheng is genuinely concerned that he has not paid a single cent in taxes and is being targeted by the U.S. tax authorities

The danger that Li Changheng referred to is that Frank, lacking both technical skills and awareness of precautions, can only forge documents based on the information from the received check or alter the amount according to that check

"No," Li Changheng said without looking back, "it is not yet time to lose our composure, and even if I were to leave, I must first go to the school and the orphanage to retrieve all the photographs"

The few homeless individuals who witnessed this scene quickly mistook Li Changheng for a novice thief

When the deceived wealthy individuals report to the bank, the first person the police look for is him

After confirming that several homeless-looking individuals were following him, he ran straight up to the top floor of the building where he was renting a room.

This statement instantly made the eyes of others shine with excitement

Frank, who was already feeling guilty under Li Changheng's serious gaze, unconsciously picked up a cushion from the sofa and held it in his arms

However, it cannot be blamed on him, after all, when he was still a citizen of the Celestial Empire, Li Changheng was merely a novice who had just graduated from university and entered society

However, it easily made him understand that the investigators from the United States would immediately think of the fraudsters who withdrew money from those private accounts, who must have had contact with wealthy individuals or those who had dealt with the victims' checks

Upon thinking of this, Li Changheng immediately stood up and said, "Pack your things, only take money and a few changes of clothes, we are leaving now"

Frank is not only a classmate of Li Changheng, but they are also both an orphan and a runaway, respectively. Now, they have rented a two-bedroom apartment together and are working together as well. Li Changheng claims that he is not an accomplice, but no one believes him

Wait for me to throw the keys at the alley entrance, then I will come back and jump with you from the rooftop to the adjacent building, leaving from other floors

What shall we talk about

I can completely describe my appearance from memory, hehe

The judges in the United States, when faced with the wealthy and orphans who possess no assets and survive by working odd jobs, undoubtedly favor the rich

Returning home without turning on the lights, unless one is feeling guilty about stealing or is engaged in some confidential matter at home, it is likely that this place is not truly his home

At the same time, I regret why I did not read those books earlier and take the initiative to understand the relevant laws and the published cases

"Understood, I will go upstairs right away," Frank said, instantly feeling as if this were something out of a spy movie

Moreover, have you ever considered that some people might come home without turning on the lights
