Zhuang Zhou, unemployed at home, unexpectedly obtained a time-space gate that could travel to the Tang Dynasty's Zhenguan era, and could also carry items with him. Thus, Zhuang Zhou embarked on...
Zhuang Zhou hesitated for a moment, but unexpectedly, the other party had checked all of this.
This is hard to explain!
You will know everything about going to Shanghai to attend a private auction.
"Can I not tell you?"
"no!"
"Why?"
"Because according to the investigation, your bank turnover is as high as nearly 100 million. How do you explain it?"
Zhuang Zhou's face changed when he heard this.
But still appeared calm:
"I'm in the antique business, with large income and expenditure. Isn't it normal for my turnover to be high?"
"Indeed, the antique industry has its own particularities, and large amounts of turnover are understandable to a certain extent."
Lin Yuan nodded, but then changed the subject:
"However, we noticed that not all of your transactions come from antiques.
Some of it comes from other channels. Can you explain it?"
Zhuang Zhou's heart tightened. He knew that this matter would be discovered sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.
He took a deep breath and answered as calmly as possible:
"That part of the turnover is from other businesses that I do with my friends."
"What friends?"
Lin Yuan asked.
Zhuang Zhou suddenly thought of what Mr. Hou said:
"I'd like to ask, do you have authorization to check my bank statements without permission?"
Personal banking information is protected by law.
Without relevant authorization, the query is not allowed.
When asked this by Zhuang Zhou, Lin Yuan hesitated.
Zhuang Zhou continued:
"This is a matter of economic investigation. You don't seem to have the authority, do you?"
Lin Yuan frowned:
"I now suspect that you are not engaging in economic crimes, but criminal offenses."
As soon as the words came out, the people who were recording nearby couldn't help but look at Lin Yuan and winked at him.
Zhuang Zhou saw it, of course, and immediately replied:
“What does this have to do with criminal offenses?
If you suspect me of a crime, please provide evidence. If it is groundless, I will reserve my personal rights."
Lin Yuan was choked by Zhuang Zhou's words.
He did not have direct evidence to prove that Zhuang Zhou committed economic crimes.
Not to mention criminal offenses!
Just based on the information we have at present, we think Zhuang Zhou is a suspect.
He took a deep breath and tried to keep his tone calm:
"Zhuang Zhou, I'm not doubting you for no reason.
Rather, based on the information we have so far, we believe you may be involved in the cultural relics smuggling case."
"Cultural relics smuggling? What does this have to do with me?"
Zhuang Zhou sneered:
"I have cultural relics exchanges with the Kyoto Museum, the National Museum, and the Qingdu Cultural Relics Bureau. You can go and check them in detail.
If you doubt me based on mere speculation?
You are being too hasty!"
Lin Yuan looked at Zhuang Zhou, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.
He has already investigated the dealings between Zhuang Zhou and the Kyoto Museum and the National Museum.
It was really a bit unexpected.
I never expected that the other party could have such a relationship.
"We will continue to investigate, and if you are truly innocent, we will naturally clear your name.
But if you are really involved in the smuggling of cultural relics, the law will definitely not tolerate it."
Zhuang Zhou replied calmly:
"Okay! I'll wait for your investigation results."
Lin Yuan did not continue to ask, but changed the subject:
"Do you have anything else to add about the Twelve Golden Dragons?"
Zhuang Zhou thought for a moment and said:
“I obtained the Twelve Golden Dragons by accident and I have no idea of their true value.
If it is truly a national cultural relic, I am willing to donate it to the country unconditionally."
Lin Yuan didn't expect Zhuang Zhou to be so decisive.
He nodded and said:
"Okay, that's the end of today's conversation!
Please take a look at the transcript. If there are no problems, sign it and you can leave."
"OK."
Zhuang Zhou read the transcript carefully, then signed and left the interrogation room.
I saw Meng Xuan waiting outside with an anxious look on her face.
He walked over and patted her shoulder gently:
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Meng Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, but still couldn't help asking:
“What the hell is going on?
Why were you called here?"
Zhuang Zhou shook his head:
“I don’t know the details, I’m just asking about the Twelve Golden Dragons.
However, I have told them everything I know, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
Let’s go! Let’s talk about it outside.”
Meng Xuan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
She knew that Zhuang Zhou had his own sense of propriety and judgment, and she just needed to trust him.
The two left the police station together and drove directly back to the villa.
…
In the car back to the villa.
Zhuang Zhou was driving.
At this time, Meng Xuan's complexion had improved a lot:
"By the way, Zhuang Zhou, did someone call you just now?"
"Oh, who is it?"
"The note is Lao Liu. I told him you were recording your statement at the Municipal Bureau, and then he told me to get back to him when I was done."
It’s Liu Yunhe.
Zhuang Zhou asked Meng Xuan to unlock her phone, and then called Liu Yunhe directly back.
The call is connected, turn on the hands-free mode:
"Hey, Brother Zhuang, are you done?"
"Yes, I just finished my work. What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Nothing much, long time no see, I want to invite you to have dinner together?"
"Oh, sure! Where is it?"
"Come to my villa! I'll ask Xiaoxuan to prepare two dishes and have a family dinner."
"Sure! I haven't tasted Sister Xuan's cooking yet!"
"Okay then. See you later."
After hanging up the phone, Zhuang Zhou's eyes inadvertently swept over Meng Xuan.
