Hong Kong Tycoon: Starting from Delivering Dongfeng Express

Chapter 22: False alarm?
At this moment, Xianxia ran in front of Chen Guozhong, blocking his sight, and said loudly:
"Report to Sir Chen, nothing was found!"

Chen Guozhong withdrew his gaze, looked around the house, pointed at the door at the back and asked, "What is that place?"

Uncle Ren said reluctantly, "Sir, the back is my workshop and warehouse, do you want to check them too?"

"What? Inconvenient?"

Xianxia patted Uncle Ren on the shoulder: "Uncle Ren, please cooperate with our work!"

Uncle Ren muttered something to himself, and slowly found the key, opened the back door and led everyone in.

At the back is a warehouse of medium size, with many sculptures, mostly plaster statues, including half-body and full-body ones, as well as some unfinished semi-finished products.

At Chen Guozhong's signal, several policemen began the inspection again.

In the corner of the warehouse stood a broken bed, its sheets drooping to the ground. Uncle Ren pointed and said,
"Look, Shadan usually sleeps here. He rolls all over the bed when he sleeps, and I don't know where he went! You guys take your time to look for him."

Ye Dongsheng walked to a long wooden box placed on the side of the warehouse. Just as he reached out to open it, he was stopped by Uncle Ren:
"What? You're not a police officer!"

Ye Dongsheng smiled and retracted his hand, saying loudly: "Sir, this wooden box seems to be just big enough to hold one person!"

Chen Guozhong also noticed this and looked at Uncle Ren: "Where is this?"

"It's a sealed sculpture, and a buyer has already ordered it! It's sealed, and you'll have to pay for it if it's broken when you open it!" Uncle Ren shouted, blocking everyone.

"Stone carvings shouldn't break so easily, right?"

Uncle Ren's face was very grim, but he still took out a screwdriver and started to pull out the nails on the wooden box. As he pulled, he shouted angrily:
"It's all because of this troublesome idiot! When he comes back, I'm going to beat him to death!"

I don’t know if his words had any effect, but suddenly I heard a police officer shout, “There’s a snake!”

Everyone looked and saw a twisting snake sticking out from under the bed sheet dragged to the ground, and then a burly man holding the snake crawled out. Who else could he be but a fool?
"Waste! You evildoer!" Uncle Ren was about to rush up and kick him, but was stopped by Chen Guozhong.

He asked the two women, "Is it him?"

Yue Guang and Amei looked at each other, but could only nod.

Chen Guozhong glanced at Shadan again: "What's with the blood on your face?"

Shadan showed a timid expression: "Uncle will beat you."

"What? Is it illegal for me to take care of my nephew?" Uncle Ren said loudly.

Then he walked over to the wooden box again, pulled out the last nail, and lifted a corner of the board: "Take a good look!"

When everyone looked, they saw a plaster sculpture inside.

"Sir, do we need to look elsewhere?"

Chen Guozhong smiled and shook his head: "Sorry to bother you!"

Uncle Ren said sarcastically, "It's okay. Cooperation between the police and the public is a must! I'm not like some people who would file a false police report over a small grudge!"

At this point, all the police officers looked at Ye Dongsheng and the other two unhappily:
"Are you kidding me? Just because a little blood is drawn is considered murder? If I beat my son with a belt, is that murder?"

"Next time, differentiate between dreams and reality before calling the police!"

"We're disturbing your sweet dreams so late at night. We want to sleep even though you're not sleeping!"

"Women are petty and will seek revenge over even the smallest of matters!"

Anyone who was suddenly called out in the middle of the night and encountered something like this would be filled with anger. But looking at the idiot grinning, Yue Guang and A Mei couldn't refute a word and could only take the blame.

Outside the house, Amei muttered with a look of grievance: "We really didn't make a false police report..."

Xianxia waved his hands to expel the three people:

"Yueguang, Asheng, you should take your friends to have a rest. I won't bother with you about what happened today. Don't do this kind of thing again in the future!" Ye Dongsheng saw Xianxia winking at him and understood what he meant. He didn't want to have more contact with Chen Guozhong.

Then Xianxia smiled beside Chen Guozhong: "These are all children I watched grow up, please don't take it to heart, Sir Chen."

Chen Guozhong wasn't angry. He smiled and said to Yueguang and Amei, "Maybe you saw it wrongly at this late hour, but it's right to call the police if you have any problems. Three robbers recently escaped to Lantau Island. Please be careful."

After saying that, Chen Guozhong looked at Ye Dongsheng again, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, then turned and left.

Back in the house, the two women were both depressed and frustrated:
"There's no way we were wrong. We both saw it together!"

"wrong."

Moonlight said anxiously, "Cousin, please believe us. We really saw Silly Dan being hacked to pieces! We weren't dreaming!"

Ye Dongsheng shook his head: "Of course I believe you. I'm saying that this idiot is wrong. Have you noticed any difference between him and during the day?"

Yueguang and Amei were both excited, their cousin believed them!
Then the two women thought for a moment: "Different? It seems not, even the clothes are the same!"

Ye Dongsheng reminded him, "During the day, Silly Dan's trouser legs were tucked into his socks. What about the one just now?"

"Ah? I didn't notice it!" In the situation just now, Yue Guang didn't pay attention to such details at all.

Ye Dongsheng shook his finger: "No, that one just now."

"Maybe it was accidentally released?" Amy mentioned.

Ye Dongsheng smiled and continued, "Also, did you notice that the idiot just now had a pair of gloves on his hands?"

"Is there any problem with this?" Amei asked in confusion.

Ye Dongsheng mentioned another detail:
"Think about it, didn't the fool just crawl out holding the snake's head, just like I did during the day? But the snake is the fool's son and won't attack him at all. The fool wouldn't do that to his son either. Instead, he let the snake wrap around his hand."

The two women also reacted: "He wears gloves because he is afraid of being bitten by snakes!"

Ye Dongsheng nodded: "There is something wrong with this idiot."

Perhaps one point is not enough to explain, but these several anomalies that are easily overlooked can already explain some problems.

Amei shouted excitedly: "Cousin, you are so awesome!"

The moonlight was also staring at Ye Dongsheng, her beautiful eyes shining.

It wasn't just because Ye Dongsheng was able to spot these details that they hadn't noticed and analyze them. More importantly, Ye Dongsheng always believed in them and could use these to prove that they hadn't lied.

This sense of recognition is what the two women who had just been criticized by everyone need most now, and their affection for Ye Dongsheng unconsciously increased.

"Cousin, let's go to the police and explain this clearly!"

Ye Dongsheng shook his head: "After what happened just now, how much will the police believe us now?"

The two women couldn't help but feel discouraged when they heard this: "What should we do?"

Ye Dongsheng smiled and patted Yue Guang's head: "A murder case is such a dangerous matter, and you two beauties really want to get involved? You two, go to bed now!"

Even though the two women were in high spirits, they still went to bed obediently at Ye Dongsheng's request.

Ye Dongsheng stood at the window looking at Uncle Ren's house across the street. He had a hunch that this incident was closely related to the three robbers who robbed the armored car, and that Uncle Ren must also have a problem.

If he hadn't wanted to protect the two women, he would have rushed over directly and might have discovered something.

Ye Dongsheng stroked his chin, and some thoughts came to his mind about the three robbers.
