You have the right not to speak.

Officer Zhou coughed dryly and said, "Excuse me, Brother Yi'an, why didn't you report the theft of your old item five years ago?"

Shi Yian's eyes showed some cruelty: "Could it be him?" Several people were overjoyed, and asked together: "Mr. Shi, have you thought of someone?"

Shi Yian organized his words and said, "It was five years ago, one year after the theft. One day, my father brought a general named Ma to pick out some old items. I don't know why the two of them had a very unhappy argument. My second brother was always by his side at the time. He said that the general named Ma wanted to force his father to buy some old items, which made my father very unhappy."

A little embarrassed, he added, "My father controls the old items, and they cannot be sold. At least my second brother and third sister and I have no say in the matter. I mainly focus on the quick-earning shop rentals and bond investments. Later, I found out that some of the old items were unique. That's why I installed the iron gate."

Captain Qi's eyes lit up: "This is an important clue! Mr. Shi, wait until we leave here. Can you contact your second brother and ask for more details?"

Shi Yian nodded: "Sure."

The other three people exchanged glances, but no one spoke.

Captain Qi pondered for a moment, "It seems we have to start from other aspects. Mr. Shi, is there anyone else in your family who knows about this? Or, is it possible to find relevant records from that year?"

Shi Yian shook his head. "My father is the only elderly person left in my family. He is very ill now... As for the records, I can go back and look through them to see if there is anything useful left."

"And..." Shi Yisett paused, then continued, "Since then, some strange things have happened in the house one after another. First, some priceless old items disappeared, and there were too many old items and small things. I thought they had not been found yet, and might still be in some corner. I always thought that all this was too coincidental and I thought too much. Now I think that General Ma might have something to do with all this."

Haihua interjected: "Uncle An, from your analysis, the one with the surname Xu might just be the second son."

Shi Yian nodded: "Maybe."

Luo Jinjie also agreed: "He is a general, a national treasure. If he really wants to hide some dirty things, we, the public security police, are really not qualified to touch this big Buddha."

Officer Zhou was also very annoyed: "Powerful officials can crush people. Tonight, the security department found a random excuse to demobilize all our local police forces. Look at us, we are all unkempt and have been detained here. Five special police cars were dispatched just to arrest us. What the hell." The gentle officer who usually doesn't like to swear couldn't help but curse viciously.

Captain Qi frowned and said thoughtfully: "If this is true, then this case is even more complicated. However, as long as we find evidence, we can bring him to justice. Mr. Shi, do you still remember the specific identity of the general at that time?"

Shi Yian shook his head: "I just heard their quarrel at the time and didn't care about the general's specific identity. However, I can go back and ask my second brother, he may know more details."

Captain Qi nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Shi. If we can find this general, maybe we can solve this mystery."

"In addition, I remember one more thing." Shi Yian said solemnly: "In the second year after the old items were stolen, I received an anonymous letter. The words in the letter implied that someone knew the truth, but asked me not to investigate the matter. I didn't take it seriously at the time, but now I think this letter may also be an important clue."

Captain Qi's eyes lit up: "Is the letter still there?"

Shi Yian shook his head. "I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, so I didn't keep the letter. However, I remember the general content and handwriting of the letter. If you need, I can do my best to recall and describe it."

Captain Qi thought for a moment and said, "This may also be a key clue. Mr. Shi, please try to recall the contents of the letter carefully. At the same time, we will continue to investigate and look for other possible evidence. Well, you are tired too, so it would be good to go back and wash up and get a few hours of sleep."

Captain Qi smiled and said, "We are in a situation where the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, and the Security Department doesn't know which side they are on, so don't reveal General Ma for the time being. When I came in just now, I sent a message to Director Chang, telling him that we were detained in the Security Department. He should be able to find a way to help us leave this place."

Shi Yian finally let go of his tense emotions and exhaled: "Captain Qi, I know my limits. I'm going back now."

Captain Qi responded, "Yeah," and helped him open the door, then watched him go out.

Captain Qi looked at Haihua, then at Luo Jinjie: "Are you scared?"

Haihua shook his head: "The people's police serve the people, there is no fear. We will definitely find evidence. Captain Qi, right?"

Team Qi nodded: "Yes"

: "You two young people can't stand staying up late, let's see who will go wash up first, go." The two men left as ordered.

At this time, Captain Qi's eyes were already dark, and he lay down comfortably: "Brother Zhou, you should take a nap first. I'll call you when they come out."

Old Zhou said indignantly: "Brother Qi, the credit for the clues we worked so hard to find was all taken by the Security Department, and they even said they would take over. Aren't you afraid of choking to death with such a big appetite?"

Captain Qi looked at Officer Zhou helplessly and said, "Yeah, who told them to be so good? When it comes to big cases involving huge amounts of money, we still have to rely on them. As for finding evidence, let's keep working hard! Don't think about going back to our Huimin Police Station to be some 'copycat king', haha."

After hearing this, Officer Zhou couldn't help but touch his nose, with a look of embarrassment on his face. He smiled softly and said, "I was just talking casually, just complaining, hehe." After saying that, he scratched his head, as if he realized that what he said just now was a bit inappropriate.

Captain Qi looked at him with complicated eyes, and said slowly: "Young man, you are still young, and there are too many things you have not experienced yet. Wait another ten years, and then you will understand that many things in this world are not as simple as whether we want to do them or are willing to do them. Sometimes, we have to make some choices, and these choices are often not our original intentions, but they are the reality that we must face." There was a sense of helplessness and vicissitudes in his voice, as if he was telling about the difficult years he had experienced.
