Chapter 140 Call the Police to Catch the Thief and Find the Treasure
The noise outside attracted the people inside the villa, and Wu Zongyao and Wu Jiaming's wife came to their vicinity.
When Wu Jiaming learned the director's identity, he glanced at him guiltily, then ran to Wu Zongyao's side, pointed at the director, and said, "Dad, your grandson is here."
Wu Zongyao's eyes widened suddenly.
Wu Jiaming added, "He also accused us of stealing."
"That's how it is."
The director also told the police, "I was the one who called the police just now. My family lives in Beijing. Many years ago, when they came to visit my relatives, they stole several antiques from my family, which were worth tens of millions in total!"
Wu Zongyao said, "We didn't steal it; it was a gift from my daughter."
After he finished speaking, he gave the director a reproachful look, "How could you do this to me? Your family has billions in assets, and your mother only gave me this little something as a token of respect, and you want to take it back?"
The director sneered, "My mother gave you several million back then, and you took all her savings. You were still not satisfied, so you stole all the valuables from our house! My parents never said they were giving them to you. Taking things without asking is stealing, even if it's your own father!"
The old man trembled with rage. "Even your mother didn't accuse me of stealing, how dare you accuse me of stealing!"
"My mom said you stole it, and she even sent me old CCTV footage from home!" The director pulled out his phone and waved it around. "Want to see it?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Zongyao and his son Wu Jiaming exchanged a glance, feeling even more guilty.
Wu Jiaming's eyes darted around, and he suddenly said to the police, "Anyway, we didn't steal anything, and those things aren't in our house. If you don't believe me, you can come in and search!"
He thought of the treasures he had stolen years ago, most of which had been sold off, leaving only the most valuable one, which his father had hidden away so well that even he didn't know where it was!
Wu Jiaming had nothing to fear, so he let the police search the place, and even hoped to find the treasure his father had hidden through the police.
Once the item is found, he can ask his younger sister for help, and the matter will definitely be over!
When Wu Zongyao heard that his son had betrayed him, a flash of panic crossed his eyes, and he glanced at Wu Jiaming with some displeasure.
But then he realized that he had hidden the treasure to prevent Wu Jiaming, that spendthrift, from squandering it, and that he had hidden it in an extremely well-hidden place so that no one could find it. He breathed a sigh of relief.
At this point, in order to get rid of the police, Wu Zongyao could only say, "Come in and search us, we didn't steal anything anyway."
Meanwhile, the director had his parents send over all the relevant evidence, showing the police the auction receipts for the antiques and the surveillance footage from their home back then.
Although a long time has passed, their family was considered wealthy at the time, and the home surveillance footage was of very high quality. It can be seen that the two people moving antiques in the house were Wu Zongyao and his son Wu Jiaming.
"Then let's go to your house and take a look."
The police entered Wu's house to search it.
Yun Shu also got out of the car and went inside with the director, with Lu Shijing walking behind her.
Because the lost items were quite valuable, the police called some colleagues over, and then conducted a thorough search of Wu's house.
But after searching for a long time, they couldn't find any of the antiques that were missing from the surveillance video.
The police officer couldn't help but say to the director, "It's been so many years, and you're only now reporting it to the police? They might have already sold the item, making it hard to find."
The director asked dejectedly, "Is there really no way to catch them?"
Seeing his dejected mood, the police officer comforted him, "No, that's not it. After all, your surveillance footage can prove that they stole something. We will verify the time and whether they were in the capital."
Furthermore, after you return to the capital, hand over the paper auction receipts to the local police station, along with detailed descriptions and photos of the lost antiques, and have them conduct a joint investigation with us. I will also have my colleagues investigate the buying and selling of these items. Once we find that these two individuals sold the antiques, we can convict them.”
The director immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good!"
Just as the two finished speaking, Yun Shu suddenly pointed to a cement block and said, "Could it be hidden here? We haven't checked this thing."
While Yun Shu was speaking, she kept an eye on Wu Zongyao's expression and clearly noticed that his face looked unnatural for a moment after she pointed to the cement block.
Wu Zongyao said, "It's just a cement block, it's solid inside, what could it possibly hide?"
Yun Shu walked over, easily lifted the cement block, and even tossed it in her hand a little. "This weight is wrong, it's definitely not solid."
Seeing her actions, the police went over to check and found that Yun Shu could easily drag the cement block with one hand, but they couldn't; they even had trouble lifting it with both hands!
This concrete block is square and extremely heavy. The police can lift it with their bare hands, but they have to put it down after a short while because they can't tell if it's solid.
In an instant, the expressions on the faces of these police officers as they looked at Yun Shu were incredibly strange.
This little girl is incredibly strong! She can even lift such a heavy cement block in her hands and bounce it around!
Seeing that they were struggling to move it and didn't seem to see any problem, Yun Shu said to them sincerely, "I've moved similar cement blocks before. Solid cement doesn't weigh this much. You can ask a professional to take it apart and check."
Police officers: "..."
But they immediately contacted experts to come over.
Lu Shijing walked over to Yun Shu and asked her curiously, "When did you move this kind of thing? Did you do manual labor?"
"no."
Yun Shu scratched the back of her head. "When I was participating in the competition before, I got bored while waiting at the venue, so I moved around and played with the cement blocks that were used to hold sun umbrellas in the audience area."
"..."
Lu Shijing's lips twitched, unsure of what to say.
Her hobby is really unique; she can even play with cement blocks when she's bored. No wonder she's so strong.
“Officer, this thing is solid cement, there’s no need to dismantle it. Besides, this is a family matter. I’ll talk to my daughter about it, and then it’ll be fine. You don’t need to go to such lengths to investigate.”
When Wu Zongyao saw the police calling for experts, he immediately became anxious and said to the police.
The police officer merely glanced at him indifferently. "The person who filed the report has already done so. Regardless of the circumstances, we have to investigate further."
Seeing that he couldn't talk to the police, Wu Zongyao had no choice but to take out his phone and call his daughter, who was also the director's biological mother.
As soon as the call connected, he said angrily, "What kind of daughter are you? You haven't visited me in all these years, haven't sent me a single penny, and now you're calling the police to arrest me!"
"That's unfilial! Be careful, you'll go to hell after you die! You'd better tell your son to go back home right now, or I'll go to the King of Hell to complain about you and make sure you, this unfilial daughter, wish you were dead!"
