The crackdown on organized crime began with the arrest of the mother-in-law.

Chapter 331 The methods are truly sophisticated.

In the past two or three days, Zhang Jun's investigation into the theft case from years ago has not made much progress, but he has gained a fairly good understanding of the basic situation of the international school.

This international school has a high reputation in Xing'an City, and the vast majority of the students enrolled come from wealthy families because the tuition is very high, at least 30 yuan a year. This is just the tuition, not including food expenses and other miscellaneous expenses or the cost of studying abroad.

"Many children of wealthy families study at this school because it has excellent long-term cooperation with some famous universities abroad, so almost all of them are able to go on to study at famous universities abroad after graduating from high school."

Zhang Jun placed some of the information he had gathered on Qin Chuan's desk.

Qin Chuan glanced through the list and saw that the students who had graduated from this international school over the years were indeed very accomplished.

However, besides that, the school's fees are really outrageous. Normally, it costs at least 400,000 to 500,000 yuan a year, and 1.4 to 1.5 million yuan over three years.

However, spending over a million yuan to buy a spot at a prestigious foreign university is still quite a good deal.

However, besides that, many students at this international school are able to attend prestigious universities abroad without spending any money.

These are the abnormal aspects that Zhang Jun mentioned.

“I checked the list of students from this school who were sent to prestigious universities on government scholarships over the past five years, meaning they could attend without paying tuition.”

Zhang Jun handed some more documents to Qin Chuan.

"These students themselves are fine, but you can take a look at their parents, Captain Qin."

Qin Chuan took a look and realized that it was indeed interesting.

I don't know the students on the list personally, but I do know some of their parents very well.

"Does it make sense for students to have parents who are officials, or for their children to have good grades?"

Without exception, the parents of these students who were sent abroad to study mostly worked in key departments of the municipal government, and their positions were not low.

"Because of the short time, we haven't had time to conduct an in-depth investigation yet, but I think there's definitely something wrong here."

When Zhang Jun investigated these situations, he felt that something was wrong.

Based on his experience working in Zhulin County, most children whose parents are leaders generally don't do very well in school.

But things turned out completely different in the city. These leaders' children were all academically excellent, received school recommendations, and went on to study abroad without spending a penny. Some even received large scholarships, which were used to subsidize their parents. This just doesn't make sense.

"Continue the investigation, check how these students are performing at school, what their test scores are, and find out all of these things clearly."

Qin Chuan vaguely felt that he had found the key to the matter.

The smooth development of Fengfan Group in Xing'an City over the years is largely due to the strong support from Xing'an City.

Of course, it can't be called helping them out, since many of the city's engineering projects were won by Fengfan Group based on their own capabilities.

Moreover, the reputation of Fengfan Group has been quite good over the years, as they have implemented many free projects in education, healthcare, and elderly care.

Qin Chuan didn't even need to investigate this matter; his mother had already told him quite a bit about it.

In Xing'an City, Fengfan Group can be considered the largest charitable organization.

They donated money to support education, respected the elderly and cared for the young, and established a nursing home and a kindergarten in each district.

This matter was even specially commended by the city.

Moreover, the other party donated these assets to the government free of charge, taking no money for themselves and even contributing manpower, money, and effort to help with the operation.

To be honest, if Qin Chuan hadn't known about Song Changfeng's situation beforehand, he would have thought that Song Changfeng was the number one philanthropist in Xing'an City.

Zhang Jun nodded. Based on the results of the investigation so far, he had some guesses about the international school, but it was hard to say or define the matter.

Of course, Zhang Jun could also see it, and Qin Chuan must have guessed some of the tricks involved.

However, the key issue now is that the police need to rely on evidence when solving cases.

Even if this is a form of bribery used by international schools, this kind of sentimental approach is far too subtle.

Even if Qin Chuan and his team obtain some evidence proving that the school gave preferential treatment to the children of high-ranking officials, what good will that do?

After all, these people neither took money nor accepted bribes; they simply used this method to send the other party's children abroad.

They don't even need to meet or have any contact with each other.

Therefore, such investigations and evidence collection become extremely difficult.

However, Qin Chuan knew that the principal of this international college must have kept some records in that ledger; otherwise, such a thing would not have become the fuse that brought down Song Changfeng.

"Besides the situation with the students, the main focus should be on investigating the theft case from back then. If we can find the thief, that would be the best outcome."

Qin Chuan suspected that the account books from back then must have been taken away by a thief, otherwise the other party would not have dropped the case.
