Chapter 89 Don't Get Your Hands Dirty

Haihua chose to ignore it and continued to ask: "Do you know what's in the box? You dare to move it without knowing anything. Aren't you afraid that there might be a corpse hidden in it? Drugs? Or smuggled firearms? After all, you said that Li Shufu only helps the Shi family do shameful things?"

Shi Yaoguang lowered his voice, with a hint of helplessness and self-mockery, and said: "Although I am poor, I am not that ignorant, right? I saw it with my own eyes! There were six large boxes in total, all opened by Li Shen. Among them was the large vase you saw."

There was a gleam of reluctance in his eyes, as if he felt powerless about his own poverty.

Officer Li Chi laughed and said, "I told you that if you move it in the daytime, you're afraid it will break. Why do you move it in the dark and windy night? It's like you're moving your own house. There must be a traitor." He had a smug smile on his face, as if he had already grasped the truth of the matter. However, no one cared what anyone said yesterday. Everyone was attracted by the situation in front of them.

Haihua asked, "Is the job also in the box, waiting for you to give it to the employer?" There was a hint of doubt and dissatisfaction in his tone, and it was obvious that he was not satisfied with the result.

Everyone nodded, agreeing with Haihua's opinion. They thought that if someone hadn't deliberately put these items in the box, how could they appear here by coincidence? There must be some unspeakable secret.

Shi Yaoguang fell into deep thought and said, "Li Shufu said that we should move these six boxes first and then move the other goods slowly?"

Officer Zhou came back and asked sharply, "Do it slowly? What do you mean?"

Shi Yaoguang was so annoyed that he really wanted to slap himself, but he answered honestly: "Li Shufu told us that these six boxes of goods were all counterfeit. Most people would not notice it. The Shi family does not value these old items at all. They will only count these old items at the end of the year. This year, 90% of them were asked to count them again. They will never know that the goods were switched."

Haihua couldn't help but sneer: "What nonsense! If you didn't need a mover, you shouldn't have been the one chosen. You just met, how could you tell me such a private thing as the swap?"

Shi Yaoguang said in embarrassment, "Yes... the man sent by the employer was chatting with him, and I heard it from the side. The man also asked if the Shi family had any smaller old items, and he also wanted to buy a set privately. Then I saw Li Shufu go for about 15 minutes and bring out a set of worn-out rice bowls. He said he had heard from Mr. Shi that what he got in exchange for 50 large yellow croakers was a unique item in the world."

Officer Wu joked: "You are a Teletubbie. You can hear the secrets of the Shi family when you turn on the phone. It's amazing."

Several people at the scene couldn't help but laugh, diluting some of the seriousness, as if it was really a gathering of old friends. . But, since ancient times, soldiers and thieves have different ways. Wake up!

Shi Yaoguang's eyes lit up: "What a coincidence! I told you everything. Can you go home now? My grandma must be worried sick."

Officer Zhou sneered, "Let you go? Then who will let those stolen cultural relics go? You'd better tell the truth!"

"Then what?" Officer Zhou looked at Shi Yaoguang expressionlessly. He didn't believe that things would be so simple.

Haihua asked coldly, "You said that Master Shi was dying. Where is he now? You said before that you released Master Shi. It turned out that you were deliberately deceiving us?"

The second-rate Shi Yaoguang trembled and said, "I don't know. I just heard it from the people in the underworld."

Haihua's eyes turned cold: "You must have other ways of contacting each other, don't try to hide it."

Shi Yaoguang bowed his head and said nothing. Haihua decided to change his strategy. He slowed down his tone and said, "If you cooperate with us to find Mr. Shi, perhaps you can get a lighter sentence."

Shi Yaoguang hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "I have the phone number of the person sent by the employer. You can try to call him. But I think it might be a scam. They just want to detain Mr. Shi as a hostage." Then, he took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket and said a number.

Haihua immediately asked Yanhan to help make a call, and the call went through. However, no one answered the phone.

"What on earth is this old fox doing?" Haihua cursed, "It seems we have to think of another way."

Everyone decided to look for a breakthrough with the housekeeper Li Shufu. The auxiliary police came to report that Shi Yian and his wife had come again. Upon inquiry, it turned out that Mr. Shi was held hostage by the other party.

Haihua angrily told several senior police officers about the situation. The irritable police officer Wu rolled up his clothes and cursed, "Shi, you are really good and talk well. I will give you a big loaf of bread."

Seeing that he was going to resort to violence, everyone quickly pulled the angry Old Wu away and comforted him, saying, "There's no point in getting serious with a liar who has been to jail."

: "Save your energy and don't dirty your hands. Once we find evidence, we can add a few more charges to him, hehe."

The three veteran policemen and Shi Yian, the eldest son of the Shi family, went to the conference room to discuss the case. In the interrogation room, only Haihua and Meifeng were left, as well as the suspect, Shi Yaoguang, whose face was as pale as if he had seen a ghost.

Haihua couldn't help but grit his teeth for a while, and continued to interrogate with a cold face: "Everyone else is hiding, why don't you hide? Are you still thinking of buying contraband goods in the antique shop?"

Shi Yaoguang didn’t seem to understand: “…”

"I'll ask you again, why are you the only one who didn't hide?" Haihua slammed the table and glared at Shi Yaoguang.

Shi Yaoguang was so frightened that he trembled and stammered, "I... I also want to hide, but... but I have no money. I heard that the antiques are very valuable, so I stole a few and hid them, hoping to make a fortune in the chaos."

Haihua snorted coldly: "Didn't you say that you helped Li Shufu move some old stuff and got a large reward?"

Shi Yaoguang lowered his eyes and whispered, "Who would complain about having too much money? I also want to get out of poverty and get married."

Haihua said sternly: "Don't think you can escape? Let me tell you, even if you don't tell us, we can find out. You'd better cooperate with us honestly, otherwise you will bear the consequences."

Shi Yaoguang lowered his head and said nothing, secretly regretting in his heart. He knew that he had failed this time, and he should not have been greedy for that little money.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Haihua continued to ask: "How did you and Li Shufu know each other? Why did he ask you to help move things?"

Shi Yaoguang stammered and told the story of how he met Li Shufu. It turned out that he met Li Shufu in prison two years ago. Since they were from the same hometown, they became close friends. After being released from prison, he had been doing nothing. That day, Li Shufu found him, gave him some money, and asked him to help move some things. He didn't think much about it at the time and agreed.

Haihua had an idea after hearing this. He turned to Meifeng and said, "It seems that this Li Shufu is not a simple person. We have to investigate him carefully."

Meifeng nodded and signaled the auxiliary police officer to take Shi Yaoguang away. After a whole morning of interrogation, it was time for lunch and she was hungry, tired and injured. She should first pay tribute to her internal organs. Only Haihua and she were left in the interrogation room. The two looked at each other and felt that there were more secrets hidden behind this case.
