Wen Qianqian is talented in both civil and martial arts, versatile in ten fields. Unexpectedly, she encounters a sudden car accident. When she opens her eyes, she discovers she has transmigrated in...

Chapter 65

When talking about guns, Qin Shen's whole body shook violently and he almost peed his pants again.

The previous gunshots had left him with a significant psychological trauma, and now whenever he heard the word "gun", he would instinctively want to urinate.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Zhao Shan urged him dissatisfiedly: "What are you standing there for? Speak quickly!"

He and Wen Qianqian work together in perfect harmony. As the chief judge, Wen Qianqian's task is to find out the ins and outs of the matter. As the deputy judge, Zhao Shan's task is to ensure that Qin Shen does not get distracted or interrupt, and to cooperate with the interrogation as much as possible.

Qin Shen was startled again by him. After a moment, he slowly said, "I don't know what kind of gun it is, nor do I know what kind of tomb robbery it is..."

Wen Qianqian heard this and interrupted directly: "Oh, you're pretending again." She curled her lips coldly: "It seems that you really won't give up until you reach the Yellow River."

After saying that, she took out a stack of photos and threw them directly in his face. "We found some items in the warehouse of the ancient tomb you excavated. Experts have identified them and determined that they are from the same princess's tomb."

"Most of the princess's tomb on the nearby hill has been excavated by the government, and the unearthed items are all in the Cultural Relics Bureau. Only the main burial chamber has been preserved for further excavation."

Wen Qianqian looked at him and said, "You have the golden mask, golden crown, and hairpin from the princess's tomb. You could have secretly dug up the main tomb and taken them out from there."

Then she stared into his eyes. "So, either you dug the tomb yourself, or you know the tomb robber. Which one are you going to admit?"

She had long guessed that Qin Shen would not confess honestly. He seemed to have a good attitude and wanted to fight for a reduced sentence, but in fact he was still secretly holding on to his luck. As long as the police did not have evidence, he would not take the initiative to speak.

At this moment, he looked at the photo. The golden crown in the photo was shining. After thousands of years, it was still as perfect as new, which showed the exquisite craftsmanship of the ancients.

But now he had no intention of appreciating it at all, and could only make random excuses: "I didn't dig the grave! I don't know any grave robbers!"

"Oh? Really?" Wen Qianqian sneered, "You didn't dig it yourself, and you don't know the tomb robbers. How did you get these things?"

She looked at him and said, "If you can't answer, it means you are deliberately concealing the truth and obstructing justice, which is an even more serious crime."

Qin Shen was stunned, holding his forehead with his hands in pain. After a long while, he finally said, "Okay, okay, I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

"Boss Xie's secretary asked me to take over the Treasure Appraisal Shop. Their goal is to buy antique jades at low prices in China and then ship them abroad to sell them at higher prices. Previously, the Treasure Appraisal Shop was run by their own people. I heard from them that they arrested that person due to financial problems, so they were anxious to find someone to take over, and they came to me."

Wen Qianqian listened and thought, this description sounds like Yi Sheng?

No wonder people say that the style of the Treasure Appraisal Agency has changed drastically recently. It used to be very low-key and operated secretly for a long time. However, as soon as Qin Shen took over, it began to expand and hype the business. Its behavior was very ugly. The number of complaints in recent times is more than that of the previous years combined. It seems that Qin Shen is indeed not as experienced as Yi Sheng.

She thought for a moment and looked at Qin Shen: "Go on, pick out the key points."

"Okay, okay..." Qin Shen licked his lips and hesitated. "I'm responsible for the things here at the Treasure Appraisal Shop. According to the agreement, we ship the things abroad every two months. Then I found that the things we ship each time are not only ours, but also some things from other places."

"At first they refused to talk, but after listening to their conversations for a while, I learned that they had quite a few professional tomb-robbing teams working under them, just like the treasure-appraising companies, who carried out tomb raiding every two months."

"Hurry up, stop dawdling. You've been talking for so long but still haven't gotten to the point." Zhao Shan urged impatiently again.

Qin Shen gritted his teeth, as if he had finally made up his mind. "I didn't know how many people were in those tomb-robbing teams until one day, when Boss Xie's secretary suddenly showed up at the warehouse late at night with a group of people, covered in mud and holding a gun. That's when I realized he was the leader of the tomb-robbing team..."

As Wen Qianqian listened, she secretly calculated in her heart, she never realized that there were so many hidden talents around Xie Yunjin, including a top tomb robber who could even use a gun. No wonder there were rumors among the people that the most famous antique calligraphy and paintings in the capital were all in the Xie family.

Unfortunately, every penny spent on the so-called famous family is ill-gotten gains.

She stared at him and said in a cold voice, "Then where did he get the gun?"

Qin Shen shook his head. "I'm not sure about the details, but it seems like the parts were brought in from abroad and then assembled here."

The country has extremely strict control over guns, and it is extremely difficult to get a whole gun from abroad. In comparison, smuggling parts seems to be more feasible.

However, from a side perspective, Xie Yunjin has a large family and a large business, and has close ties with foreign countries. Now he has a secretary with a gun to protect him. No matter how you look at it, he is not an easy person to deal with.

Qin Shen finished speaking, trembling a little: "Don't tell anyone that I said it. They have guns in their hands. If they knew that I leaked the information about the tomb robbers, I might explode!"

Wen Qianqian smiled and said, "Don't worry, we won't tell anyone."

"And don't worry, with your testimony, they will definitely stay in jail longer than you. Once you get out, they will find a way to retaliate against you."

Qin Shen: ...

Thanks for the invitation, but I didn't feel any better after listening to it. Instead, I felt more and more desperate...

Zhao Shan almost burst into laughter after hearing this. If it weren't for the seriousness of the occasion, he would have laughed out loud. But after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make sense. If it was confirmed that it was really Xie Yunjin who did it, it would be enough to send him to prison for life.

After the interrogation, Wen Qianqian gave Qin Shen, who was crying, a procedural criticism and education, and then took Zhao Shan away.

"The guy who hurt Pei You has been found. I never expected that the petty thief I thought of from afar turned out to be a lackey of a wealthy family." Zhao Shan curled his lips, still a little bit unbelievable.

Wen Qianqian shook her head: "How can someone with a gun be an ordinary person?"

Zhao Shan thought about it and said, "That's true."

After saying that, he looked at Wen Qianqian: "This feels more and more complicated. What are you going to do next?"

Wen Qianqian pondered for a moment and said, "I want to apply to search Xie Yunjin's house." She frowned slightly and said, "I have a feeling we'll find something."

Zhao Shan was shocked: "Brother, are you serious?"

"That's Xie Yunjin! Just like your Lu Xingyan, he's vying to be the richest man in the capital! Plus, he just donated a painting recently and is currently very popular. How could the higher-ups let you search his house so easily?"

Wen Qianqian thought for a moment and said, "Let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, we'll talk about it later."

Zhao Shan nodded. "Well, this is quite difficult. Think it over carefully before you tell the director."

Just as she finished speaking, she stopped at the door of Director You's office. She thought for a moment and then knocked on the door.

"Come in." Director You's voice came from the office.

Wen Qianqian didn't hesitate. She took the notes and went straight into the house with Zhao Shan.

When she entered, Director You was looking through the case files. She greeted him and then got straight to the point: "Director, I'd like to apply to search Xie Yunjin's home."

"Cough cough cough cough!" Zhao Shan coughed violently, his face flushed red, and he winked at her frantically.

What's wrong with this unfortunate child? He just told her to think it over before speaking, and she ran over and told him everything...

Director You was also shocked: "Xiao Wen, what are you talking about?"

Wen Qianqian ignored Zhao Shan's frantic glances and stepped forward, handing over the transcript. "Director, Zhao Shan and I have just spoken with Qin Shen. He admitted to running a treasure appraisal business and using it to maliciously purchase antique jewelry at low prices, secretly shipping it abroad for sale."

She pointed to the transcript: "It's clearly stated in the transcript that it was Xie Yunjin's secretary Qu Fei who recruited him to take over the treasure appraisal business, and he also admitted that Xie Yunjin's men had been carrying out illegal tomb robbing activities. The man who was carrying a gun and injured Pei You was Qu Fei himself.

She ignored Zhao Shan's obstruction and finished speaking to Director You in one breath. Instead, she felt a lot more at ease. Whether the search was allowed or not would naturally be decided by the higher-ups. She only needed to express her attitude without having to hesitate.

Director You listened to her report, and his expression became more and more shocked. He didn't expect that by searching the underground warehouse and arresting Qin Shen, he would actually involve the tomb robbery case and Xie Yunjin.

He was shocked as he read the transcript. "I can't believe it! I heard Xie Yunjin was shortlisted for one of the top ten most touching people in China this year. How could he be such a piece of shit?"

Wen Qianqian spoke up from the side, "Director, you can only know a person's face but not his heart. Some people do evil while chanting Buddha's name. Who knows if he's trying to gain some benefits by moving the honor of being one of China's top ten figures?"

Director You listened to him while carefully reading the transcript. After finishing, he put it down. Although he was annoyed by the case and frowned, he still couldn't help but praise Wen Qianqian: "Well done!"

"The complexity of the case cannot conceal your ability to handle the case and your sharp intuition. You did a great job. You solved the tomb robbery case that we had been investigating for a long time without any clues in no time. It's really amazing."

After saying that, he pondered for a moment and looked at her: "Xiao Wen, did you just say that you wanted to apply to search Xie Yunjin's house?"

Wen Qianqian nodded: "Yes, but I also know it is very difficult. I just proposed it as a try. If the director thinks it is too difficult, we can find another way to collect evidence."

Director You waved his hand: "I don't care about others, I absolutely support you."

He looked at Wen Qianqian: "Before searching Xie Yunjin's house, there is something I need to tell you."

After saying that, he pulled out a piece of paper from the file and said, "I've looked at the file you just gave me on Xie Yunjin. His nationality isn't Chinese, it's Country M. So, if we want to apply to search their home, I don't have the approval authority. We may have to report to the Ministry and wait for their approval."

"Usually, when foreigners are involved, the situation is very complicated and the approval process is much more onerous than usual."

"Furthermore, if there's no compelling reason to search, it's likely to be rejected. For a search request like ours based solely on a transcript, I don't think it's likely to be approved."

Wen Qianqian was stunned. She had heard before that Xie Yunjin's family was from abroad, but she was in a hurry to take notes and organize the materials, and forgot that Xie Yunjin was a foreigner.

After listening to Director You's words, she thought about it carefully and said, "Director, do you think this is possible?"

"The bureau will first submit a report and wait for approval. During this time, I will try my best to collect evidence. We will work on both fronts and wait for approval from above."

She thought for a moment and added, "Now that Qin Shen has been arrested, Xie Yunjin will definitely take action. To prevent him from transferring assets without authorization, I want to apply to the bureau to freeze his assets in China so that he can't act rashly."

Director You nodded and said, "Don't worry about that. I'll find someone to handle this matter right away. Feel free to go and provide more evidence. The bureau will take care of this for you."

Wen Qianqian raised the corner of her mouth: "Thank you, Director!"

After saying that, she thought for a moment and said, "I want to meet Xie Yunjin and hear what he has to say in person."

Director You thought for a moment and said, "Then let's just summon him to the station for questioning. Since all these cases point to him, even if he's a foreigner, as long as he's operating within our country, he has an obligation to cooperate with our police."

He thought for a moment and continued, "Besides, he's now a key suspect. To prevent him from escaping, I'll talk to the city bureau and have them take measures to restrict his situation. That way, he won't sense something's wrong and suddenly run away."

He looked at Wen Qianqian and said, "As I said before, just go for it. The bureau will help you clear all obstacles."

Wen Qianqian pursed her lips, a warm feeling surging in her heart. Finally, she looked at the director and said, "Got it. Thank you, Director! Thank you, the organization!"
