Chapter 15 The Missing Five Million
  Song Hui's job has stabilized, but his thoughts are not that complicated yet.

But the dreams and goals in his heart are always there, and he continues to work hard. He told himself that as long as he worked hard, he would have money and dreams.

He wrote excellent official documents and was eloquent. He was promoted after one year on the job. This promotion has confirmed Song Hui's ability.

He met Ms. Wang when he went out to work. After more than a year of love, the two got married. Later, after the child was born, they hoped that he would have an ordinary and smooth life, so they named him Song Xiaofan.

Another major promotion came seven years later, when he became a high-ranking official in Qingcheng City, holding a high and powerful position. Song Hui's goal seems to have been achieved, and he seems to have both money and power. He bought a commercial house on the 15th floor of Building B in the Huayuan Community. Finally, I no longer need to live in that low house in Kulai Hills.

He, his wife and son moved into a building in the Huayuan Community, but Song Hui's parents were unwilling to move out of the mountain.

Later, when Song Hui's parents went out to buy daily necessities, they were killed by a car that hit them head-on. Song Hui buried them and said goodbye to his parents, who had always talked little to him. Relatives are not permanent either. He feels that only money can give him a sense of security.

During work, many people came to him to ask for help. At the beginning, he used his moral bottom line and work principles to restrain his inner turmoil. Unexpectedly, as more and more people came to do business, the amount of bribes given became larger and larger. He quietly collected a little bit, fearing that others would discover it, and hid it in an empty house in Kulai Mountain in the middle of the night.

When she came back from outside late at night, she was bumped into by her wife, who felt strange. Song Hui lied and said that he went to the mountain to worship his parents.

This money made him feel like a rich boss and more secure.

But then his appetite grew bigger and bigger, and he secretly accepted more and more dirty money. Over the years, he had embezzled and bribed so much money that he had nowhere to hide it. The target is too big and easy to detect. He hid the cash under the bed in the guest room of the commercial building. There was space under the wooden bed, and the wooden boards surrounding the bed just touched the ground. Then, a lot of space under the bed can be used to hide money.

Song Hui always hides money when his wife goes out to work and Song Xiaofan is not at home. The bed board was not heavy, and he could lift it alone and throw the huge amount of money into it.

This is all done in secret, no one knows.

Gradually, the money under the bed turned into a time bomb that could explode at any time. Song Hui knew in his heart, but it was only a matter of time that the cash and banknotes under the bed would be discovered by others. At this time, money made him feel insecure.

Fortunately, the money was never discovered. Once again, he was lucky and thought he could get away with it.

But why doesn't he think about it, there are so many corrupt officials in the world, why can he be alone?
  He has been an official for nearly twenty years. He has brought good benefits to the people while in office, but he has also done bad things. His corruption and bribery had harmed the practical interests of most people. People have been reporting for months, but he has suppressed the reports.

Finally, the corruption and bribery incident in 2015 successfully attracted the attention of superior leaders. He was the subject of intense investigation, but during the investigation he always managed to escape suspicion.

The last time he was involved in an incident was in 2017, when all his pretense was revealed. People from the Public Security Bureau came to search the house, and found a huge amount of cash totaling million in the bed, shoe cabinet, refrigerator, and air conditioner in his old house and commercial house.

After learning what happened, Song Hui fled in Nanhua City. But there were many checkpoints on the road, and they escaped all the way to a road at the foot of a mountain.

Song Hui drove the car faster and faster. He abandoned his car and fled to the mountains, but there were no mountains in the mountains. There were trees on the mountain, so he walked around and played hide-and-seek with the police. Although there are many trees, there are many police personnel. Moreover, the policeman was physically stronger than him. It didn't take long before he was chased to a high mountain cliff.

He was rounded up by the police and was about to make a desperate struggle. An official who deliberately took bribes and finally accumulated a large amount of wealth and ascended to a position of power. How could Song Hui just give up? He was unwilling to give in, and he couldn't just surrender.

I don't know how deep it is under the cliff, and an invisible white mist wraps around me. The gun barrel behind him was getting closer and closer, and the road ahead was like an abyss. He had no time to hesitate. He closed his eyes and jumped down, doing a free fall. I thought it would be over, but my clothes were caught by an outstretched branch.

The feeling of swooping down to the ground stopped immediately, replaced by a bounce upwards and then a violent pause. All this was like a heavily loaded bullock cart rushing down a hillside and suddenly being blocked by huge rocks. The tree trunk branching out from the stone is the boundary between life and death. The slightest movement may be fatal.

The policeman looked down from the cliff and told him not to move.

But Song Hui didn't even hum, as if he had known this day would come.

Finally, the police found him at the foot of the mountain, and he was smashed into a meat pie. Song Hui died without being punished by law. His body stinks, and so does his reputation. Not only that, he also implicated his family members. All bank cards, houses and cars in Song Hui's name were frozen. Houses and cars were all purchased while working, so no one was spared.

Song Hui's wife and son have no place to live since then.

The "land and country" that Song Hui worked so hard to build disappeared overnight. In the end, his life was lost and he didn't make any money. Not only did he destroy his own future with his own hands, he also destroyed the future of his beloved family.

However, the matter is not over yet.

Afterwards, when the police traced the amount of bribes Song Hui had accepted, they discovered that five million in cash was missing. The police asked Song Hui's wife and son, but they didn't know. The police also visited Song Hui's colleagues and friends, but they didn't even know. In fact, Song Hui's family never knew about her husband's accepting bribes before the incident, let alone the unaccounted for money.

Will Song Hui give the money to his lover? But his wife confessed that her husband had no lover. After investigation, this is indeed the case. He had taken a lot of money in bribes, but rarely spent it. At least the amount transferred openly was nothing except for houses and cars.

He has never applied for an overseas bank card or bought a property overseas, so where did the cash go?

The money seemed to have legs and has since disappeared.

To this day, police from the Public Security Bureau are still tracing the whereabouts of the money. As time passed, this matter became an unsolved case. The file was sealed in a cabinet and no further investigation was launched.

Lao Sunxin said where else to hide the money besides hiding it in the house. You can't just dig a hole in the mountain and bury it, right? Five million in cash is not a small amount, and hiding it all is not an easy task! The private hiding place must be large enough and wide enough. How could there be such unique conditions?
