He refused to believe that Jiang Ci and her husband could remain unharmed.
Liu Yinyin hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
If she could go to Beijing with Xia Lei, Liu Yinyin thought it was worth the risk.
She is very popular with the old man. As long as she can win over Mr. Cheng Yehan, why would she have to worry about his youngest son not helping her?
As for Jiang Ci, no matter what tragic end she suffers, Liu Yinyin will not be soft-hearted.
Jiang porcelain deserves it!
After finalizing the arrangements, Xia Lei and his wife snuggled together and went to sleep.
Little did they know, Zhou Mingli rode his bicycle all night to the town's police station.
Zhou Mingli parked his bicycle and went into the police station, where the young police officer on night duty was dozing off.
I glanced up at the clock hanging in the police station. It was already past one in the morning. No wonder the young policeman was dozing off.
Zhou Mingli walked to the duty desk and gently tapped the surface.
The young police officer jumped up from his chair. "Who wants to report a crime..."
"You? You want to report a crime?" The young police officer was still a little confused.
Zhou Mingli smiled and said, "No, I want to see Deputy Captain Zhao. I have something very important to tell him."
The junior police officer looked Zhou Mingli up and down. "Our Captain Zhao isn't on duty today; Captain Liu is."
Zhou Mingli had met both the captain and deputy captain of the Public Security Bureau, Captain Liu and Xiao Zhao. He wasn't insistent on meeting either of them and said, "Could I meet Captain Liu?"
The police officer glanced at Zhou Mingli again.
He looked big and burly, not like a good person.
"You wait here."
The young policeman went inside, and soon a man came out with him.
"Zhou Mingli, is there something you need at the bureau so late?" Captain Liu recognized Zhou Mingli immediately.
Zhou Mingli glanced at the young policeman but said nothing.
Captain Liu immediately understood what was going on. He waved to the junior policeman, "You continue your shift. Comrade Zhou, come with me."
"good."
Zhou Mingli followed Captain Liu into the house. Captain Liu picked up his enamel mug, took a sip of strong tea, rubbed his face, and asked, "Do you need to see Xiao Zhao?"
"It doesn't matter whether you find Captain Liu or Deputy Captain Zhao," Zhou Mingli said with a smile, then quickly asked, "Captain Liu, I wonder if Li Hu has said anything during his time in the conscious period?"
It was Zhou Mingli and his wife who revealed that Li Hu was a criminal who trafficked in cultural relics.
Zhou Mingli came looking for me so late, it was obviously because of this matter.
Captain Liu gave Zhou Mingli a deep look and said, "He didn't confess anything. He insisted that he had never been there or sold any cultural relics. All those who came to testify against him were slandering him. This kid is ruthless and stubborn. He's not someone to be trifled with."
Zhou Mingli lowered his eyes, concealing the emotions within them, and tapped his fingers back and forth on his thigh, appearing somewhat uneasy.
Captain Liu noticed this and sat up straight, patiently persuading, "Comrade Zhou, trafficking in cultural relics is a serious crime. Those cultural relics unearthed from the tombs are of great significance for studying the culture of that dynasty. They are our country's property. We will definitely not let Li Hu off the hook for doing such inhuman things. Of course, we also remember his crime of breaking into your house and attempting to commit violence."
"As long as we can get concrete evidence that he's smuggling cultural relics, we can arrest him and sentence him!"
Zhou Mingli looked hesitant and uncertain.
Then he stood up and paced back and forth, looking as if he was in a state of great inner turmoil.
Captain Liu looked at him silently, then added, "Think about your wife. She was almost murdered by Li Hu that night."
Zhou Mingli suddenly felt a jolt!
He made up his mind, turned to look at Captain Liu, and said, "Actually, there's something that my wife and I haven't told each other yet."
Captain Liu was startled and gestured for Zhou Mingli to sit down.
Zhou Mingli sighed, "That day my wife and I went up the mountain... cough, we caught a few rabbits and accidentally bumped into Li Hu and another person standing outside the archaeological site, making a deal with someone."
Captain Liu jumped to his feet. "Why didn't you say something so important sooner!"
“My wife and I made a little noise by accident, and they found us! If the archaeological team’s patrol hadn’t appeared and scared away Li Hu and the other person, Li Hu might have known that my wife and I had seen their transaction.”
Upon hearing this, Captain Liu sat down again, took a deep breath, and said, "Continue."
“My wife and I saw a man wearing glasses give Li Hu and his friends a plate, and the people with Li Hu gave him a wad of cash, all in ten-yuan notes.”
Zhou Mingli looked terrified and shaken. "The man with glasses left quickly. We almost got caught. After we got back, we were worried that Li Hu and his gang would hide the stuff. If we had reported it immediately, you wouldn't have been able to find it. If Li Hu and his gang had turned around and accused us, my wife and I would have been too ashamed to continue living in the brigade."
He lowered his head and said hesitantly, "That's why we've never dared to tell anyone about it."
Captain Liu remained silent for a moment, then understood why Zhou Mingli dared not speak.
Reporting it immediately would alert the enemy and expose yourself.
If his report fails, in a rural area, if people find out that he deliberately reported someone to harm them, the villagers would all spit on him and kill him.
"Then come over here now and tell me all this?"
Zhou Mingli immediately said, "It's because my wife and I accidentally saw the people who were with Li Hu showing off their things today. We saw clearly that those things were the antiques they were trading, so I came to ask Captain Liu and you if Li Hu has confessed anything."
