You have the right not to speak.

Ten new and old officers from the Zhenlong Police Station and seven professional veteran police officers gathered in the conference room again. In the middle of the table were two thick stacks of investigation records.

At the Huimin Police Station, everyone took a few statements and took a quick look. An older police officer asked as he read through them, "Old Zhou, what's the situation now? Also, you have to protect the informant and don't rush things."

Officer Zhou nodded affirmatively: "According to the information we received, Xu Gongmao tried to leave Zhenlong last night with an excuse, but was stopped by our people. As a suspect, the man who was hit on the forehead by Mr. Shi has also been found. He is Xu's nephew who helps him manage the Yelaixiang Nightclub. Captain Qi, do you want to arrest him?"

Captain Qi Xiafei thought for a moment, then said, "Don't worry, Li Shufu has been detained, and Xiaoyu can't escape. Since the evidence is solid, there is no need to worry about him running away. Tell the brothers to keep a close eye on him and see what they do next. Also, send someone to protect the safety of the witness."

"Yes!" Officer Zhou responded.

The meeting room was silent as everyone was thinking about their next course of action.

At this time, a young policeman broke the silence: "Captain Qi, I think we can take this opportunity to conduct an in-depth investigation of the Yelaixiang Nightclub. Maybe we can find other clues."

Captain Qi glanced at him and nodded: "That's a good idea. Take some people to find out the truth, but be careful not to alert the enemy."

"I understand!" the young policeman replied excitedly.

Afterwards, the meeting continued, and everyone discussed various possibilities and response strategies. They decided to observe in secret and wait for the best opportunity to capture the criminals in one fell swoop.

Captain Qi asked again, "What do the historians say?"

Several police officers were stunned, not understanding what was going on. Captain Qi touched his nose, thought for a moment and said, "Bring the Shi family's inventory sheet over to me, maybe we can find some new clues."

Luo Jinjie pulled out a few A4 sheets of paper from the pile of records and handed them to Captain Qi: "We are not involved in the case, so we are completely confused. However, the stolen goods have been moved to a safe house, so they are still safe for the time being."

Officer Zhou couldn't help but complain, "The historian really hid his collection well. He has 200 pieces in total. He opened a rice shop or a bookstore. If he sold just one piece, he would be able to make a living for 30 years. With the 15 pieces he found, he would be rich enough to rival a country."

Wu Shengjun said contemptuously: "So they also said that they spent a lot of money just on storage fees, and then sold a few of them, which attracted the thief Li Shufu."

Song Chi added: "This record says that it was stolen five years ago."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They really couldn't have imagined it.

Team Qi carefully looked over the inventory list, his eyes resting on a few items that were oddly marked.

"Is there anything special about these things?" he asked, pointing to the table.

Luo Jinjie shook his head: "I don't know, the historians said they were some ancient collections."

Captain Qi frowned slightly, "I feel like there's something fishy going on. Send someone to check the source of these items."

: "How many items have been stolen in the past five years? Let's also check what happened to this one."

"Yes!" Luo Jinjie immediately accepted the order.

Officer Zhou patiently explained to everyone: "The incident happened on the 15th of this month. Shi Yian, the eldest son of the Shi family, called the police the next morning. Due to limited police force at the time, only Officer Luo and I were present, so we could only treat it as a common theft case. In addition, the Shi family seemed to be deliberately concealing some important information. They did not mention the key plot that Mr. Shi was kidnapped by robbers, which prevented us from realizing the seriousness of the incident in time."

He took a few sips of water and continued, "It was not until the interns joined the investigation that they gradually discovered the strangeness." He frowned and looked at everyone seriously, expressing his dissatisfaction with the historian's behavior.

Captain Qi sighed and nodded. "Yes, I understand. This kind of thing is difficult to deal with. If the parties themselves choose to compromise, then there is really nothing we can do. After all, this is a private dispute between them. As long as it does not involve criminal behavior, there is only so much we the police can do. Moreover, this is the social atmosphere now. Some victims may not dare to stand up to defend their rights for various reasons. This is also a realistic problem."

"But as police officers, we still have to do our best to protect the safety and legitimate rights and interests of every citizen. Even if we encounter some difficulties and setbacks sometimes, we must persevere. I hope that similar incidents will happen less frequently in the future!" He shook his head helplessly, with a trace of worry on his face.

At this moment, an auxiliary police officer rushed into the meeting room. He looked anxious and had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, as if he had brought important news.

"Officer Zhou, this is bad!" The auxiliary police officer panted and said, "I just got the news that Xu Gongmao contacted a group of foreign buyers and is preparing to sell some of the stolen goods."

Hearing this news, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense. Everyone looked at each other, their eyes revealing worry and shock. Officer Zhou frowned and asked, "Is the news reliable? When will they trade?"

The auxiliary police officer wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied: "The source of the information is relatively reliable. The exact time is not clear, but it should be within the next two days."

Officer Zhou stood up, put his hands on the conference table, and said with a firm look: "We can't let them succeed! We must take action immediately."

The police in the meeting room nodded in agreement. They realized that the situation was urgent and they needed to make decisions and take action quickly. Officer Zhou began to assign tasks, arranging personnel to investigate the contact channels between Xu Gongmao and foreign buyers and strengthen monitoring of related locations. At the same time, they also had to cooperate with Interpol to obtain more information and support.

This sudden incident made the originally planned action more complicated and urgent. But Officer Zhou believed that as long as everyone worked together and cooperated closely, they would be able to stop Xu Gongmao's criminal behavior and protect the property safety of the people.

Captain Qi's eyes lit up, "It seems they can't sit still any longer. Notify the brothers and prepare to close the net!"

Officer Zhou was puzzled and asked, "How strange! Why is he still reselling cultural relics? Could he be selling the batch of old items that the historian lost five years ago?"

Li Qingsong, who had been silent for a long time, stood up and stretched his waist: "Captain Qi, Officer Zhou, how about we call the Shi family first and ask them?"

"Okay, let's contact the historian immediately." Captain Qi made a prompt decision.

Not long after, people from the Shi family arrived at the police station.

"Mr. Shi, we have some questions we would like to ask you about a theft case that happened five years ago." Captain Qi went straight to the point.
