Chapter 92 The 92nd Melon
"What are you doing? Why are you all gathered together?"
The police rushed over and saw Zhao Jiaming curled up on the ground like a shrimp. The old policeman looked around and asked, "Who did it? Who hit someone?"
The middleman immediately ran over, hid behind the police, pointed at Wang Laoshi and others, and said to the police: "Sir, you came at the right time. This group of people said that someone was a murderer without any reason. They also said that there was a body hidden in the house and they wanted to beat and kill. I think they are the murderers. You should arrest them all!"
When the young policeman heard this, he looked at Gu Xicao and his group in indignation, "What are you doing? This is simply lawless!"
The old policeman is knowledgeable.
He first helped Zhao Jiaming up and then asked, "We came here because someone called the police. Who called the police?"
Deng Xiangcao raised her hand tremblingly: "Sir, it's me."
"You, you called the police and said there was a murderer here, could it be him?"
The old policeman stared at Deng Xiangcao seriously, "Calling the police is not something you can do carelessly. You say he is a murderer, but where is the evidence?"
"us……"
Deng Xiangcao didn't have time to finish her words.
Zhao Jiaming sighed and said to the police helplessly, "Sir, don't ask. They just want to rip me off. Originally, I wanted to pay more and buy her house, but I didn't expect them to be so greedy. I paid two million for the house, but they still felt it was not enough. It got to this point, and I felt it was meaningless and wanted to leave, but her family refused. I've heard that Hong Kong people are powerful, and today I've seen it."
After hearing what Zhao Jiaming said, several policemen looked at Deng Xiangcao's family with unfriendly eyes.
"No, we don't plan to raise the price. We don't sell it because he killed someone and buried the body in our house."
Deng Xiangcao was still too young after all. When she saw Zhao Jiaming swearing at her, she became anxious and spoke incoherently.
A sneer flashed across Zhao Jiaming's lips.
He looked at Deng Xiangcao calmly and said, "Did you see me killing someone?"
Deng Xiangcao opened her mouth, looked at her parents, and had a look of panic on her face.
"You said the body was buried in your house, but did you see me burying the body with your own eyes?"
Zhao Jiaming asked, his tone aggressive.
Deng Xiangcao broke out in a cold sweat and her face turned pale and blue.
Father Deng said quickly: "Although we didn't see it, but what the master said might be true."
He looked at Gu Xicao anxiously, his eyes asking for help.
Only then did the police see Gu Xicao.
Many people recognized Gu Xicao.
"Isn't this the goddess from the TV station? Why is she here?"
Zhao Jiaming saw Gu Xicao with a look of resentment in his eyes. He shook his hands and said, "This is even more outrageous. You have no evidence and are accusing me of murder based on what a fortune teller said. I tell you, I am not someone who can be bullied. I know a lot of people in Malaysia. When I go back, I will tell my relatives and friends about this so that everyone will know that you people in Hong Kong are more reasonable!"
At this point, he looked at the police and others, "Sir, you won't follow them and make trouble, right? You Hong Kong police won't wrongly accuse a good Malaysian citizen, right?"
There was a threat in Zhao Jiaming's words.
Several policemen showed hesitation on their faces, obviously not wanting to get involved in this troublesome matter.
The old policeman hesitated and looked at Gu Xicao, "Miss, I know you are a fortune teller, but no matter how accurate your predictions are, you cannot wrongly accuse someone without legal evidence."
"Who said I have no evidence?"
Gu Xicao pointed to Deng Xiangcao's home and said to the old policeman: "The evidence is in their home!"
The old policeman and others were stunned.
Gu Xicao looked at Mr. and Mrs. Deng, "Are you two willing to let the police tear down the wall? I can assure you that you will not suffer any loss."
Mr. and Mrs. Deng hesitated for a moment.
Mother Deng gritted her teeth and said, "Tear it down!"
Even if it means suffering a loss, it has to be demolished. If there really is a dead person in the family, it would be so creepy!
Zhao Jiaming's expression changed.
The fingers hanging at his side moved: "I don't have time to fool around with you guys, I have to catch a plane!"
He turned to leave, but the old policeman grabbed him and said, "Excuse me, sir, you can't leave yet!"
Zhao Jiaming's eyebrows jumped, and he turned back angrily and asked, "Why can't I leave?"
"No reason. You just kept saying that these people wronged you. Now that you are gone, who will clear your name?"
The old policeman was happy. He signaled his two colleagues to keep an eye on the man and led everyone into Deng's house.
Gu Xicao led everyone to the storage room and pointed to the wall on the right, "This is it, smash it."
The two policemen looked at each other helplessly, spat on their hands, and then smashed it down with hammers.
A hammer.
Two hammers!
The neighbors could only hear the noise inside but could not see what was going on inside at all, because the Deng family's house was too small. Except for the police, Deng's family, Gu Xicao and Wang Laoshi, no one else could enter.
The two policemen didn't take it seriously at first when they were smashing the things, and they didn't believe at all that they could really smash out a body.
But as they were smashing things, they realized something was wrong.
Why is there a smell here, and it’s getting stinkier and stinkier!
The stench even spread outside, choking the neighbors.
"Oh my, what's that smell? It's killing me!"
The housewives covered their noses and kept complaining.
"Mrs. Deng is the same. What is hidden in her storage room? It smells so bad."
"This is the stench of a corpse!"
The experienced veteran policeman immediately realized something was wrong. He gave his colleague a look and rushed into the storage room.
Without saying a word, the colleague tortured Zhao Jiaming.
Zhao Jiaming's face was covered with cold sweat, but he still insisted, "What are you doing? You are hurting Malaysian citizens. When I return to Malaysia, I will let reporters scold you Hong Kong police for violent law enforcement!"
The old policeman took the hammer from the young policeman, carefully examined the marks on the wall, and then smashed it hard in the lower right corner.
The stones fell to the ground with a thud. At the same time, the vague outline of a corpse in the wall stunned everyone.
Corpse?
Is there really a dead body?!
Everyone inside and outside the house was in an uproar.
"We must call the firefighters!" The cement and the body had almost merged into one. In this situation, it would be difficult to separate the body with just a hammer. More importantly, a lot of information might still be left on the body. The old policeman decided to call the firefighters without hesitation.
Deng Xiangcao and her family didn’t know what to say.
When the firefighters arrived, they spent more than an hour removing the body from the cement. Everyone felt their scalps tingling as they looked at the body, which was only a skeleton left.
"Is there really a dead body in our house?"
Deng Xiangcao's face turned pale with fright. She took a step back and hid in Deng's mother's arms.
Father Deng also looked pale: "What's going on? Why is the body in our house?"
"No, look at that corpse. Why are there some golden things around it?"
A neighbor was standing at the door, peeking out, and suddenly pointed at the body and spoke loudly.
The old policeman put on gloves, looked carefully after hearing what he said, and squatted down. He then took out something from the bones of the corpse and wiped it with a tissue. The thing turned out to be a gold bracelet.
"Boss, there's also one in the cement. It's a gold necklace!"
"There are some here, too. They're gold bars! Lots of them, at least 20 or 30!"
"I have some here, too. They're gold rings, lots and lots of them!"
The continuous sounds aroused the excitement of the people watching outside.
It was strange enough that a body was hidden in the wall.
There are so many gold jewelry on the corpse, which makes people curious about what is going on.
The old policeman immediately ordered everyone, "Go check if there is anything else over there on the wall, and bring all the evidence over here!"
"Yes, sir!"
The policemen agreed and got to work.
The old policeman took the gold bracelet and walked towards Zhao Jiaming, who looked silent. He raised the gold bracelet and asked Zhao Jiaming, "Mr. Zhao, do you know what is going on?"
Zhao Jiaming glanced at the old policeman and could actually laugh out loud at this time, "Sir, you ask me, who should I ask? I'm from Malaysia, how would I know that your Hong Kong is so complicated, there are even corpses in residential buildings!"
The old policeman was very angry.
This idiot just said he didn't believe there would be a dead body here!
Now say it has nothing to do with him!
Clearly this case has some unclear connection with him, otherwise why would a Malaysian come to Hong Kong to buy a small house for no reason?
I'm so bored!
"If you don't confess now, you might regret it later."
The old policeman said: "If you tell the truth, we can deal with you appropriately!"
Zhao Jiaming's palms were sweating, but he still insisted:
"I've already said I don't know. Even if you ask me, I still don't know! Anyway, you'd better produce evidence to prove that I killed him!"
"you!"
The old policeman was really angry. After being a policeman for so many years, when faced with such a scoundrel, he still couldn't help but want to beat him up.
"Do you really think there is no evidence?"
Gu Xicao said, "Sir, look at the marks on the gold jewelry. Different gold shops will leave their marks on them."
The old policeman was reminded of this and quickly looked down, "DT? What is this mark?"
"DT?"
A light flashed through Deng Xiangcao's mind, "Isn't that the mark of Datong Gold Shop?"
Datong Gold Shop is a time-honored gold shop in Hong Kong. Although it is not as famous as Chow Tai Seng, it has a good reputation. Hong Kong people will give priority to Datong Gold Shop when buying gold!
"By the way, didn't a gold robbery happen at Datong Gold Shop ten years ago? More than one million gold was stolen from the shop, and a shop assistant also disappeared at the time!"
The old policeman suddenly remembered that he had helped out in this case. The police had always suspected that the clerk had colluded with outsiders to commit the crime, but after the two robbers stole the things, they disappeared and there was no news of them since.
Although Datong Gold Shop was annoyed, the police were powerless to do anything.
After all, the police have already determined that the two robbers must have fled and cannot be caught even if they try.
An idea suddenly occurred to the old policeman, "Could it be that you are one of the two robbers?"
The color instantly drained from Zhao Jiaming's face.
His lips trembled. "I, I don't know what you are talking about. Robbers, gold? I know nothing!"
The old policeman laughed at this time.
He threw the bracelet into the evidence bag and said to Zhao Jiaming, "You don't have to know. Anyway, the police still have the case records from ten years ago. As long as we compare your information with the two suspects at the time, we will know whether you are the one or not."
Zhao Jiaming was sweating profusely, but at this point, he calmed down instead: "Sir, don't keep calling me a suspect. Yes, I admit that I was a clerk in that gold shop, but I was not a suspect at the time. I was coerced. I am innocent. Even if I go to court, how many years can I be sentenced? I have never heard of a hostage being jailed!"
"you!"
Several policemen were very angry at Zhao Jiaming's shameless remarks.
The old policeman looked at Zhao Jiaming's panic-stricken yet smug look and realized that things were not going well.
This Zhao Jiaming has been on the run for ten years. During these ten years, he must have done something other than nothing. He must have consulted many people on how to get away easily!
Although what he said was shameless, it is possible that the court would rule in this way.
After all, the police and the gold shop only suspected that he was an accomplice, but they had no evidence, the witness was dead, and there was no physical evidence.
If he really goes to court, even if everyone knows that he is guilty, they will not be able to convict him and the most they can do is sentence him to detention!
"What's going on? Why don't you let me go right now?"
Zhao Jiaming was immediately proud when he saw the police were stumped by his question. He bumped into the police who were escorting him and said, "You have no right to restrict my personal freedom. I warn you, I am a well-known and wealthy man in Malaysia. If you don't let me go, I will not be polite to you when I get out!"
The police were in a stalemate.
Everyone looked at the old policeman helplessly.
The old policeman also had a headache.
Originally, the case should have gone smoothly after the body was found and Zhao Jiaming's identity was confirmed. But Zhao Jiaming came prepared and now he has set them up, making it difficult for them to act rashly.
"Mr. Zhao, please stop bragging."
Gu Xicao sneered and said, "You are a Malaysian tycoon. If you really become rich, do you need to come back and covet the gold on this corpse? If you can have 2,000 yuan on you now, I will take your surname."
"You, you damn bitch, shut up, what do you have to do here?"
The person Zhao Jiaming hates the most right now is Gu Xicao.
This matter was originally going smoothly, and Deng's father and mother were about to sign the contract, but unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin showed up and Gu Xicao appeared.
What made Zhao Jiaming even more angry was that Gu Xicao somehow actually found the body!
No one should have known about this!
At the beginning, he and his companions did not share the spoils equally. His companions took the largest share but were unwilling to give it up to share equally. They also said that he had only disclosed some information and that it was others who took risks and risked their lives. He was only willing to give 10% to Zhao Jiaming.
Zhao Jiaming was so angry that he accidentally killed someone while arguing with his companion.
After the person died, Zhao Jiaming couldn't find the gold hidden by his companions. Seeing that the police and Datong Gold Shop were investigating the case, he quickly took some of the gold he had got and ran away.
Ten years have passed and no one has even thought about this case.
Otherwise, Zhao Jiaming wouldn’t be bold enough to come back!
But everything that was going well was ruined because of Gu Xicao!
"Are you thinking that if it weren't for me, no one would know about this case today?"
Gu Xicao touched his chin and said meaningfully.
Zhao Jiaming's eyelids jumped and he looked at Gu Xicao in surprise and suspicion.
Gu Xicao said: "Many people think that I can only tell fortunes, but in fact, I can also communicate with the Yin."
She walked to the body, squatted down, and then looked up at Zhao Jiaming, "Zhao Jiaming, your friend Chen Dali said he is in pain."
"You, you are crazy, you don't need to scare people here, I don't believe in this!"
Zhao Jiaming said gritting his teeth.
But it would have been more convincing if his teeth hadn't been chattering when he said this.
"Really?"
Gu Xicao looked at the body and sighed, "Chen Dali said his head hurt a lot. He was arguing with you, and you suddenly hit him on the head with a hammer. Just one hit and he died."
Zhao Jiaming's mouth opened slightly and his throat tightened.
Gu Xicao continued, "He also said that you were so cruel. After killing him, you were afraid that the truth would be exposed, so you buried him in a cement wall overnight."
"For the past ten years, he has been thinking about you day and night, and wants you to pay with your life!"
"No, no, I didn't kill him!"
Zhao Jiaming stepped back repeatedly, with beads of cold sweat dripping down his face with fear.
"It's really not you?"
Gu Xicao pressed on, "Then why have you been so unlucky in the past ten years? You took more than 100,000 gold, but how come you are penniless now? This is all because he cursed you, cursed you to lose everything you have invested!"
"Chen Dali also said that you were ridiculous in the beginning. You searched everywhere for the gold, but you didn't expect that the gold was hidden in his cotton-padded jacket. When you moved his body, you didn't realize that the feel was wrong. It wasn't until ten years later, when you were penniless, that you suddenly realized that the gold was most likely hidden on Chen Dali's body."
"That's why you came back to Hong Kong specifically to check if the gold is really on Chen Dali."
"And all of this is exactly what Chen Dali hoped for."
"He wants you to pay for your life!"
As soon as Gu Xicao finished speaking, Zhao Jiaming screamed, holding his head and shouting: "Don't come over, I, I didn't mean it. I've had a miserable life these years, and you've had enough revenge. It was all your fault in the beginning, it was all your fault for being greedy. You wanted the biggest share, so I had to kill you!"
After Zhao Jiaming shouted this, the room inside and outside fell silent.
Everyone looked at Zhao Jiaming and Gu Xicao in stunned silence.
Gu Xicao clapped her hands, turned her head and asked the people around her, "Did you hear what he said, too?"
Deng Xiangcao said hurriedly: "I heard it. He said that he killed people because his accomplice wanted the biggest share!"
"Yes, we heard it too!"
The neighbors echoed.
"No, no, you..."
Zhao Jiaming came back to his senses from his extreme panic. After a moment of stunned silence, he reacted and his face suddenly turned red. He pounced towards Gu Xicao.
With a thud.
Gu Xicao kicked Zhao Jiaming in the lower body.
The blood color on Zhao Jiaming's face faded like the tide. He curled up and squatted, covering his lower body and screaming.
All the men inside and outside the house couldn't help but gasp and their scalps went numb.
Gu Xicao looked at the old policeman, "Sir, this is self-defense, it's not against the law, right?"
The old policeman laughed: "Not really, arrest the man, he confessed to the murder himself, everyone saw it!"
Several policemen immediately took Zhao Jiaming away.
Mr. and Mrs. Deng expressed their gratitude to Gu Xicao again and again.
The agent couldn't help but ask, "Why are you thanking her? Even though Zhao Jiaming is a murderer, the money he paid was real. A body was found in your house, so it's hard to say whether you can sell it in the future."
"What are you talking about? We dare not take money from a murderer!"
Deng Xiangcao glared at the agent unhappily and said.
Gu Xicao said, "I just said that Zhao Jiaming ran out of money, and the check he gave was fake."
Fake?
The agent was stunned: "You, how do you know that the check they gave you is a fake one!"
Gu Xicao sneered, "Banks are closed on Saturdays and Sundays, so checks cannot be cashed, and large checks must be booked one day in advance. He signed the contract today, Friday, just to delay time. If the house is sold, Zhao Jiaming will come to demolish the house tomorrow. By then, he will take the gold and run away. Although the house is still the Deng family's, the body was found and the Deng family's property will still depreciate. Now, at least he can get the bonus that the police originally offered."
Deng's father and mother are reasonable people. "Even if there is no bonus, we are grateful to Master Gu. That murderer is capable of murder and robbery. If he is not caught, we dare not sleep at night."
The agent left with a sullen look on his face.
Wang Laoshi followed Gu Xicao back, and couldn't help exclaiming on the way, "I never thought I would encounter something like this today. The Datong Gold Shop was a big fuss at the time, and I don't know how many people were looking for the whereabouts of the robber, but I didn't expect that he had already died."
“That’s the impermanence of life.”
Gu Xicao leaned against the car window, feeling the wind, "That Zhao Jiaming thought that after ten years, this matter was unnoticed by anyone, and he could easily take the gold and run away. He never thought that it was such a coincidence that Deng Xiangcao would come to find me."
Wang Lao Shi said: "This is the law of nature. Retribution will come. It's not that there is no retribution, it's just that the time has not come yet."
"Ms. Gu."
After getting off the car, Gu Xicao and Wang Laoshi took a few steps and saw several people in formal attire coming towards them.
Gu Xicao recognized one of them as Miss Dong, Gu Zhizhang's assistant.
Assistant Dong said in a friendly manner, "The chairman asked me to pick you up at the company. Do you need to bring anything or change clothes?"
Wang Laoshi asked in a low voice: "What's going on? Why are you going to the company?"
Gu Xicao shook her head at Assistant Dong, then replied to Wang Laoshi, "It seems that there is a shareholders' meeting today. I have to go there. You should go home first at our store."
"Okay, ah, shareholders meeting?"
It is naturally a good thing to leave work early. Wang Laoshi agreed readily and just nodded when he suddenly realized something was wrong. Shareholders' meeting?
“What shareholder meeting?”
Assistant Dong smiled and said, "Ms. Gu now owns half of Wang's Enterprise's assets, so naturally she has to attend the meeting and take over the management."
Wang Laoshi looked at Gu Xicao in astonishment.
Although he knew that Gu Xicao had a grandfather, his mind had not yet come to terms with it and he did not realize how rich Gu Xicao was now.
