"Buying and selling important national cultural relics?" Zhou Gou asked solemnly. "Is this true?"
Jiang Ci shook her head innocently, "I don't know either. I've only seen a little bit of the excitement."
"I was just about to go in and see what was going on."
Zhou Gou said, "Then I'll go in with you."
Zhou Gou was a soldier and couldn't stand guys doing bad things, so he went inside with Jiang Ci.
The police search was a bit slow, but they did manage to find something.
He was carrying a box that was about 30 centimeters by 30 centimeters. The box was locked, and he asked Liu Yinyin to open it.
Liu Yinyin's face was deathly pale, and she pursed her lips, remaining silent.
Inside... were all her treasures!
If this gets out, even ten mouths couldn't explain it!
"Where's the key? Liu Zhiqing, if you're hiding any evidence, we can take you away with you!"
Xia Lei also noticed the box, and he knew perfectly well what was inside.
The police absolutely must not take anything from inside!!
Xia Lei immediately blurted out, "I'll turn myself in! I know where that plate is!"
This was the scene Jiang Ci saw and heard as soon as she entered.
She squinted, her gaze falling on the box belonging to the police.
What was inside that could make Xia Lei turn himself in?
"Where is the thing?" Xiao Zhao asked immediately.
Just as Xia Lei was about to speak, Jiang Ci, whose eyelids twitched slightly, spoke up, "Could there be some more important cultural relics inside?"
One sentence was enough to stun everyone present!
Jiang Ci cursed inwardly: Damn it!
Yesterday's plans were too rushed, and I forgot that if the police searched the Xia family's house, they would definitely find other things that the Xia family owned.
If she and Zhou Mingli hadn't touched the plate, they could have reported it directly. When the police came to search their house, Xia Lei would have revealed that the item was on the crooked tree behind their house, making Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli the obvious victims.
Jiang Ci had never been a victim before. She never expected that the contents of Liu Yinyin's box would be so important, so important that Xia Lei was willing to turn himself in.
She never even considered that possibility!
Regardless, we must at least get the contents of the box out so everyone can see what Xia Lei and Liu Yinyin have hidden.
Under the gazes of everyone, Jiang Ci calmly brainstormed, holding her child's hand and saying casually, "Who doesn't know that Xia Lei is the most upright and selfless person? Officer, you only checked a box, and he wanted to turn himself in. The contents inside must be extraordinary."
yes!
Xiao Zhao thought Jiang Ci's words made a lot of sense.
The villagers nearby chimed in, eager to see what was inside the box, urging, "Open it quickly! Open it quickly!"
"Could it be that there are a lot of cultural relics inside?"
"It's probably money Xia Lei made from buying and selling!"
They talked back and forth, drowning out Xia Lei's voice.
Zhou Gou looked at Xia Lei with hostility.
The captain misjudged him, letting him hear such important information.
What kind of good person could someone be who engages in such opportunistic and shady activities as buying and selling behind the scenes?!
If Xia Lei's actions affect Mr. Cheng's decision to bring Mr. Cheng back to Beijing, then he is truly to blame!
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Zhao said to Liu Yinyin, "If you don't open the box yourself, we'll have to force it open."
Liu Yinyin bit her lip, "Officer, there really isn't anything you're looking for in here. These... are all my personal belongings!"
The police said, "You can open it yourself. If the contents are yours, we will absolutely not touch them."
Anyway, I'm definitely opening this box today!
Having no other choice, Liu Yinyin took out the key and opened the box with trembling hands.
Soon, someone saw what was inside.
A large, golden yellow croaker!
There's also jade that radiates a soft, lustrous glow!
The mirror has a beautiful engraving!
It's a real mixed bag; it has all sorts of things!
The villagers don't understand antiques, but they can understand those golden things!
Large yellow croaker!
The two policemen were so angry when they saw what was inside that they trembled with rage.
"Xia Lei! You stole so many things!"
Xiao Zhao started berating Xia Lei.
Jiang Ci quietly stepped back and led the two children outside.
At this point, everyone was focused on the treasures inside the box, and no one was willing to leave.
The walls all around were covered with people, all there to watch the spectacle.
Jiang Ci was speechless and glanced at the earthenware pots outside Xia Lei's door.
She wasn't quite sure where Zhou Mingli had put the plate, but it was definitely in one of these ceramic pots.
Jiang Ci glanced at the few teenagers who were watching the commotion from the wall, and surprisingly, Da Zhu from Sister-in-law Yu's family was among them.
She called out to Dazhu and said, "You all be careful. If you want to see the excitement, go inside."
Dazhu said, "Okay, Aunt Jiang, don't worry, I'm strong enough."
The other boys didn't even glance at Jiang Ci, saying, "Going inside is so crowded, how can you see anything like this? Xia Lei's family has so many treasures! So many big yellow croakers! That must be worth several hundred yuan!"
Jiang Ci stood outside, pondering how to destroy all the ceramic pots without anyone noticing, when she heard the boy on the wall excitedly broadcasting, "Liu Yinyin grabbed Xia Lei and started crying!"
"Wow, Xia Lei did all of this!"
"He even revealed where in the house he hid the money he got from selling antiques!?"
"Ouch! Ouch!"
Several young boys lay there for a while, and then, one of them lost his strength and fell down with a thud. He quickly grabbed the others, but the one he grabbed was in a terrible state. He was still hanging up there when he was ripped off alive.
The two boys fell down with a thud, crashing onto the earthenware pots with a loud bang.
"You guys are really something! You can't even enjoy a good show!" The other boys still clinging to the wall laughed at the two who had fallen.
"Wait a minute! Dazhu! Look, is that a plate?!"
Dazhu turned his head and looked closely. Inside the smashed ceramic basin outside, there was a light blue disc!
He immediately shouted excitedly, "Police officer! Police officer! There's another artifact inside the earthenware basin outside!!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhao immediately pulled Xia Lei outside.
As expected!!
Those are the artifacts that Li Hu confessed to!
"Xia Lei! You hid it really well."
When Xia Lei saw the celadon plate, he understood everything.
His eyes suddenly turned bloodshot, and he turned to look at Jiang Ci, who was standing there calmly!
It's her! It's her and Zhou Mingli!
How could something that was originally placed behind Jiang Ci's house have suddenly appeared here?!
Zhou Mingli and Jiang Ci must have discovered something, so they decided to use this as a pretext!
Who else could have planted it if not Zhou Mingli and Jiang Ci?!
He became like this entirely because of Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli!
How could Xia Lei not be angry? How could he not be furious!
