The local police in Hangzhou did not expect that the clues fed back by Makino Technology would be so accurate, with accurate addresses, personnel and production scale.
Five production lines and seven or eight workers were working at full capacity to produce pirated CDs of "Crazy Stone". Tens of thousands of various finished and semi-finished products and more than 200,000 raw material trays were seized on site.
Faced with such a big "harvest", the local police in Hangzhou were not happy at all, but felt particularly depressed. These guys committed crimes within their own jurisdiction and under their noses, but they were not aware of it at all, and even Asking Makino Technology, who was far away in Yanjing, to provide them with clues, really made them feel shameless.
Not only that, but what scares them the most is that this den that manufactures pirated CDs actually has a high-definition pirated version of "Crazy Stone". This movie is now popular all over the country, and even CCTV keeps reporting on its box office success. According to various records, it turned out that someone had stolen the high-definition version and was mass-producing it in their own jurisdiction. If these discs entered the market, the Hangzhou police and cultural departments would lose face.
As a result, the police immediately sealed the scene and everyone, including the driver Wang Lei, was taken back to the city bureau for sudden interrogation.
Wang Lei originally wanted to run away after reporting the report, but he chose to stay at the scene because he received a private text message from Makino Technology's legal team. The advice given to him by Makino Technology's legal team was that running away directly would reveal the fact that he was the leaker. Even if people like Zhao Xin are sentenced to several years, they will still pose a security threat to Wang Lei in the future.
Therefore, the suggestion of Makino Technology's legal team is to let him do nothing and wait for the police to come. At that time, Makino Technology will directly communicate with the Hangzhou police to explain the situation. At that time, the police will directly charge him with insufficient evidence on the grounds of insufficient evidence. When Wang Lei is released, Wang Lei will be able to live his own life with the rewards from Makino Technology.
Sitting in an Iveco police car with Zhao Xin and his brother-in-law, Wang Lei felt a little nervous, but also a little excited. Looking at Zhao Xin and his brother-in-law like cocks that had been defeated in a fight, he felt a sense of satisfaction in having succeeded in revenge. .
All the suspects were quickly escorted to the city bureau, and then a surprise interrogation began immediately. The Hangzhou police hoped to find out the source of Zhao Xin's pirated films as soon as possible, as well as the specific circumstances of production and sales, but Zhao Xin refused to explain and sat down. In the interrogation room, he argued very calmly: "Comrade police officer, I am not very educated and I don't know what piracy means."
"You don't know what piracy means?" A police officer in charge of the interrogation yelled: "You don't know what piracy is, and you have five production lines for pirated discs?!"
Zhao Xin said: "Police officer, those sets of production equipment were all paid to me by others, and I couldn't sell them, so I had to open them up to help others process some orders."
"Processing orders?" the police officer asked coldly: "Do you think I am a three-year-old child?"
Zhao Xin explained with an aggrieved look: "Police officer, I really did the processing for others. They gave me a set of CDs and asked me to help copy and produce them. As for what to produce, I don't know anything about it, and I'm processing it with supplied materials." , all the CDs and packaging were sent together."
At this time, Zhao Xin also knew very well that it was definitely impossible for him to clear away all the relationships now. The only thing he could do was to weaken the subjective intention as much as possible and change himself from the role of actively recording pirated copies, actively producing pirated CDs and selling them. Weakened into a character who has no subjective intention and only breaks the law because of insufficient common sense and insufficient legal foundation.
The police officer in charge of the interrogation sneered and said: "Let me tell you Zhao Xin, your brother-in-law is being interrogated in another interrogation room now. Whoever tells the truth first will be treated leniently, and the other will be treated leniently." One, just wait to accept the most severe punishment of the law!"
Zhao Xin felt a little panicked. He was afraid that his brother-in-law would not be able to resist telling the truth, and he was afraid that he would sell himself out in order to make merit. After thinking about it, he decided to protect himself first, so he immediately said to the police: "Officer, there are many things I really don’t know. Those customers are handled by my brother-in-law. He communicates with others about the specific production. Even the raw materials sent by the other party every day are handled by him. For specific details, you should ask Him."
Zhao Xin's daily raw materials are indeed handled by his brother-in-law, and the driver also contacts him when delivering goods. If it really needs to be investigated, the chain of evidence will be detrimental to his brother-in-law, not himself.
The police also saw through his trick, smiled slightly, and said to him: "Whether you are subjective or intentional is not decided by you, but by the chain of evidence. You said you don't know what piracy is, and your production line only makes For processing of supplied materials, we only need to find the cinema where you illegally recorded the video and find the person in charge at the time. In order to reduce his crime, he will definitely come forward and accuse you. When the time comes, your excuse is not subjective and intentional. Adopted by the courts;”
Zhao Xin's expression was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the police would easily see through his intentions, and immediately come up with a solution that was enough to seal his retreat. If the police really found the movie theater yesterday, his curved path to saving the country would be at stake. Completely blocked...
Seeing Zhao Xin's panicked expression, the policeman smiled and continued: "By the way, I have to remind you that the court determines who is the principal and who is an accessory, not based on who is most frequently seen in illegal and criminal acts. Even if some behind-the-scenes masterminds are never directly connected to criminal acts, they will still be sentenced to heavy sentences as first offenders. The reason is very simple. When collecting evidence, the public prosecution agency will often determine who has benefited the most from illegal and criminal acts. That’s the main culprit.”
At this point, the policeman smiled playfully and said: "Who is the main culprit between you and your brother-in-law? It does not depend on which of you is the best at lying, but on which of you makes the most money from this. You can clear the relationship." Can you clear the money?"
Zhao Xin was completely confused at this time. He thought he was a little clever and could save the situation at the critical moment, but unexpectedly, he was immediately discovered by the police. Not only that, the police also gave him a cracking method. These two cracking methods sounded like When he got down, Zhao Xin knew that he was really going to get cold this time...
After struggling for a moment, Zhao Xin suddenly said: "Comrade police officer, I confess, I hope the government can treat me leniently..."
The policeman nodded with satisfaction and said: "He who understands current affairs is a hero. Okay, don't beat around the bush and get straight to the point!"
"Yes, yes, yes." Zhao Xin echoed repeatedly, and was about to say the main point. At this time, the door of the interrogation room was suddenly pushed open, and a policeman walked in and said to the interrogating officer: "Captain Chen, Ma Yao has given up. We The brother who was sent to arrest the manager on duty at Xinghui Cinema called and said he has been arrested and will be on the case immediately."
"Okay." The police officer known as Team Chen stood up and said to Zhao Xin with a smile: "Zhao Xin, I'm sorry, everything is first come, first served. I'm afraid your brother-in-law may be ahead of you this time, but you also Don't get angry in a hurry, think carefully about what illegal and criminal activities you have done, and then I will come to you after I finish what I am doing."
After saying that, Captain Chen stood up and left with the recorder beside him, leaving behind a stunned Zhao Xin.
The interrogation room was empty for a while, and then Zhao Xin came to his senses and cursed angrily: "Ma Yao, I'm going to kill you, you bastard of the Yan family, I had good intentions to make you rich, but you actually set me on fire! You know the horse power from a distance, but I think you know the smell of shit when a dog is hungry!"
…
Li Mu, who is in Yanjing, attaches great importance to Makino Technology's anti-piracy campaign.
Before the lunch break, he called the head of legal affairs to his office and asked him about the progress of collecting clues from yesterday to today.
The person in charge of legal affairs said: "Mr. Li, from last night to now, we have received more than 5,800 pieces of reporting information from various channels, and we are still actively investigating this information."
Li Mu asked him: "How do you determine the processing procedures for more than 5,000 reported messages?"
The person in charge of legal affairs explained: "When our team reviews the reported information, we will not check the authenticity for the time being. We will first prioritize the content of the report. For example, we will prioritize all information that reports pirated producers. The priority is the highest. Any information about reported sellers will be classified as ordinary, followed by the following priority: "
"Our backend will divide the information into regions based on the reported address. For example, if there are 300 reported information in a certain province, we will then conduct a preliminary screening of the information to remove duplicates. After the duplicate information is removed, the information will go directly to the official channels. , submit it to the local public security bureau and culture, industry and commerce departments.”
Li Mu nodded and asked, "Are there any major clues?"
"Yes." The person in charge of legal affairs said: "We received reports that there is a pirate production den in the suburbs of Hangzhou. They have a total of five small production lines and the output is very large."
"Five production lines? Li Mu frowned and said, "The scale is not small! "
The person in charge of legal affairs said: "Not only is the scale large, but they are even bolder!"
As he spoke, the legal person in charge introduced: "Zhao and his brother-in-law Ma paid the manager of Hangzhou Xinghui Cinema with 10,000 yuan, and brought professional camera and recording equipment to conduct a high-definition video of "Crazy Stone" The film was pirated and synthesized from the stolen audio and video files. In terms of quality, it is definitely the best among the pirated sources of "Crazy Stone" at present. They are preparing to mass-produce and put it into the market."
"Damn it, your movie is being secretly recorded in a private theater? That's a little too arrogant!" Li Mu was furious and asked, "Have you contacted the Hangzhou police?"
The person in charge of legal affairs hurriedly explained: "We have contacted the Hangzhou police at eight o'clock in the morning, and arrests have been carried out based on the address. Currently, all the items involved in the case have been seized, and 11 suspects have been arrested, including the case whistleblower."
Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The efficiency is fast enough, not bad. If the police everywhere can use this efficiency to crack down on piracy, then the pirates will really have a good time in a few days!"
