Dean Duan had already contacted the local police. Upon learning the news, the group rushed to the county town. Fortunately, there was a minibus purchased by the government; otherwise, if they had relied on donkey carts and horse-drawn carriages, it would have been too late by the time they got there.

Luo Yunhang was definitely going; he knew the situation best and was also quick-witted. Dean Duan directly arranged for him to go with the police officers.

Along the way, Luo Yunhang told the local police officers what he knew.

The awkward thing is that these police officers are just local beat officers, not a police force specifically tasked with investigating cultural relic crimes. They are good at handling fights, brawls, theft, and robbery, but they are somewhat baffled by this kind of case.

However, after they learned about the matter, they immediately reported it up the chain of command. The national public security system has a special investigation team that deals with crimes involving cultural relics, and they will arrive soon to handle the situation.

Before that, all they needed to do was stabilize the situation, gather as much information as possible, and help the cultural relics police solve the case.

The group arrived at No. 32 East Street in the county town. Since the police officers were all in uniform, Luo Yunhang volunteered to go and scout the situation first in order to avoid alerting the suspects.

At this point, the advantages of X-ray vision become fully apparent.

He calmly scanned the house at No. 32 East Street and quickly found a man with a full beard, who should be the bearded man that Village Chief Qin had mentioned.

He was packing his things, looking flustered, as if he was preparing to run away.

It seems this person is quite well-informed. Well, he's doing something that's like putting his belt on his head; it's no wonder he got caught off guard.

The man was seen carrying a suitcase and heading towards the back door of the house.

Luo Yunhang didn't have time to think too much and immediately ran towards the back door, startling the police officers in the nearby car who didn't know what had happened and quickly followed.

Luo Yunhang ran incredibly fast, managing to block him at the door just as he stepped out.

He leaped up and delivered a side kick, knocking the man to the ground, and then subdued him.

Less than a minute later, the police arrived and handcuffed him.

The man's valuables and money from his trunk fell to the ground.

No one expected it to go so smoothly; they caught the man so quickly.

After being brought back to the police station, they immediately began their first round of interrogation.

The bearded man was very wary, claiming ignorance and refusing to admit anything, only saying that he was a merchant and didn't know why they were arresting him.

After examining the man, Village Chief Qin identified him as the bearded man who had made contact with him.

But the bearded man was completely unmoved by reason. He knew that once he confessed, he would face utter ruin. The police had no strong evidence to draw against him except for the village chief Qin's testimony.

The situation reached a stalemate once again.

Perhaps that batch of goods has already been sent away.

Everyone was anxious but there was nothing they could do.

Left with no other choice, Luo Yunhang had to use the truth tokens he had previously been rewarded with.

Although he was reluctant to use this rare reward on such a person, he had no choice but to do so for the sake of those cultural relics.

He had only received this truth-telling talisman twice, and each time he used it in a critical moment.

Luo Yunhang discussed with the police officers that he wanted to sit in on their interrogation because he had made great contributions to the arrest mission, so the police officers did not refuse and took him directly into the interrogation room.

Luo Yunhang took the opportunity to use the Truth Talisman on the bearded man.

"Wang Cheng, tell the truth, who did you contact for this shipment? Where is it being transported to? Don't think we can't do anything to you just because you don't talk!" An old policeman was interrogating him.

Wang Cheng, the bearded man, was originally lying on the table, looking like he was saying, "What can you do to me?"

This time, however, he suddenly reacted. His face showed a look of terror, and his mouth involuntarily opened as he began to speak rapidly.

“I’ve been in contact with the truck driver, Lao Li, through a single channel. He’s responsible for disguising the goods and transporting them by land to Fujian Province, where someone will pick them up.”

When the police saw that he finally reacted, they quickly wrote down his testimony word for word.

The veteran police officer pressed on, asking, "When was your rendezvous this time? How many days has Old Li been gone?"

Wang Xiang looked as if he were possessed, his face filled with terror. He clutched his throat tightly, but still couldn't help but tell the truth.

“We just made contact three days ago to send off a batch of goods, and he has already been gone for two days.”

The police officers present all felt a sense of unreality, mainly because everything was going too smoothly.

They were all a little worried that things were going smoothly and that it was a scam.

But looking at Wang Cheng's ferocious appearance, it was really a bit scary, and he didn't seem fake.

The group was a little confused as to why he suddenly became willing to confess.

Then a few more questions were asked, and Wang Cheng gave up and answered them honestly.

According to his description, fortunately, Old Li didn't travel that fast by land; it should have been another day's journey before he reached Fujian Province.

It's not too late.

Regardless of whether what he said is true or not, they have to try to find out. If there is even a sliver of hope to save those cultural relics, they cannot give up.

Only Luo Yunhang knew that this was true.

That evening, the cultural relics police arrived, having flown in from Tianzhou.

Luo Yunhang, representing the research institute, went to pick up the person at the airport with a police officer so that he could explain the situation to the cultural relics police.

Unexpectedly, it was an old acquaintance.

"Comrade Luo? It's you?" Bai Yan said in surprise. She didn't expect to see Luo Yunhang here.

"Officer Bai? Xiao Zuo? It's you two? What a coincidence. I've been in Dunhuang for a while now, studying cultural relic restoration with my teacher. I never expected to get involved in this case."

"That's great! With you here, we have another powerful ally. You can't stand idly by; you have to help out a lot," Bai Yan said with a smile.

Luo Yunhang shook his head awkwardly: "I only know how to repair things. When it comes to tracing clues in a case, you guys are more professional."

"Comrade Luo is too modest. You are no ordinary cultural relics expert." Bai Yan and Xiao Zuo had a high level of respect for Luo Yunhang.

After the auction ended, they learned more about Luo Yunhang and discovered that he was truly exceptional.

The accompanying police officers were also surprised to find that Luo Yunhang knew these two cultural relics police officers. This was great, as it would save them a lot of trouble.

The four of them quickly explained the details of the case to Bai Yan and Xiao Zuo.

Upon hearing Wang Cheng's sudden confession, Bai Yan suspected that he might be using a diversionary tactic to protect the person who actually took the cultural relics.

So they interrogated Wang Cheng again. The time limit for telling the truth was twelve hours, and Wang Cheng's answer was naturally the same. No matter how they asked, he had no other answer.

Actually, Wang Cheng was also in a state of mental collapse. He wanted to lie, but he couldn't. What he thought and what he said were completely different. He suspected that he had been bewitched, otherwise how could he have suddenly become like this? This police station was too strange.

They interrogated Wang Cheng until dawn, until he broke down completely. Countless times, he gave the same answer each time.

Bai Yan and Xiao Zuo had no other ideas for the time being, so they could only continue the investigation based on what Wang Cheng had told them.
