Chapter 963 was caught
This may be the most embarrassing moment in Pei Zheng's life.
He, the head of a noble family, was cooperating with the investigation, crouching on the ground with his head in his hands. No amount of dignity could save him from this posture. Pei Zheng's face flushed red as he looked up at Huo Xingzhou, who was standing not far away.
So vicious!
The Huo family not only didn't want to sit at the table to eat, but also smashed other people's bowls.
vicious!
Who in business has never been without fault? Are they all innocent?
He just wanted to see who would dare to do business with Huo Xingzhou in the future.
He couldn't help but think wildly, and then thought about his current situation. No matter who did business with Huo Xingzhou, it was not his turn to manage it. If he didn't handle it well, he would end up in jail.
Pei Zheng was thinking about who could save him at this time.
Or who can help him get away with it and reduce his guilt.
Even if these people discovered the smuggled cultural relics, as long as he refused to give in, would he be forced to confess?
He made up his mind to fight the uniformed soldiers to the end.
The old dock was as bright as day, boxes of long-staple cotton being unloaded. Even cargo ships that had sailed a short distance were ordered to return, and the boxes almost filled the entire dock.
It looks spectacular.
Dozens of police officers checked the boxes one by one, and the long-staple cotton flew everywhere.
They didn't dare to make any big moves. They heard that there were precious cultural relics inside. If they were accidentally damaged, they wouldn't be able to afford the compensation even if they sold them. These were national treasures.
"Brother-in-law."
Zhao Qin watched the bustling scene and said with gritted teeth, "We've all been fooled by Li Cheng. He must have betrayed us long ago by joining Huo Xingzhou, and only let him get away tonight. This time we're in trouble..."
He has a ferocious look on his face!
Whenever he thought about being tricked by that old bastard Li Cheng, he wanted to escape right now and beat him to death in public!
"Shut up."
Pei Zheng looked around and lowered his voice and said, "Don't say anything you shouldn't say. Don't admit anything once you're in police station. Got it?"
"Yes, I won't say a word."
Zhao Qin is a tough guy.
He was also well aware of the seriousness of this matter. He might never get out. He was only in his twenties. How could he spend his entire life in prison?
There were more than 300 cultural relics seized from those cargo ships.
Each piece is worth a fortune.
If it were to be sold at an auction house, it could fetch tens of millions at best, or millions at least.
The quantity and amount are simply too huge.
The Pei family must have an entire industrial chain, all of which involve illegal activities.
“Wow!”
Sun Weimeng stepped off a speedboat. He had deployed on the sea according to Huo Xingzhou's instructions, fearing that the ships would really escape. Fortunately, the police arrived quickly and stopped the freighter before he could make a move. Otherwise, he really didn't know what to do with his small speedboat.
He walked over to Huo Xingzhou and said, "I didn't expect the Pei family to be so bold as to ship out over 300 cultural relics like that. In the past, they would have been traitors!"
Huo Xingzhou's tone was cold, "It would be the same now."
Smuggling is treason.
Pei Zheng actually did this kind of business, and he might have succeeded in it countless times before.
It was unknown how many cultural relics had been smuggled out of Peijia Wharf, and whether they could be recovered. Huo Xingzhou felt that the possibility was unlikely.
What a waste of good things.
Sun Weimeng put his hands on his hips and looked at Pei Zheng and Zhao Qin squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands. He couldn't help but sneer, "Look how miserable they are, like dogs!"
"You insulted the dog."
"Oh yes, what they did was worse than pigs and dogs."
Sun Weimeng did not lower his voice when speaking, and Pei Zheng and Zhao Qin could both hear it.
Pei Zheng looked forbearing.
Zhao Qin was not so good-tempered.
"What are you talking about!" The police only asked him to squat down with his head in his hands, but did not cover his mouth.
When Zhao Qin saw Sun Weimeng's smug and arrogant look, he became even angrier.
"I'm scolding you, didn't you hear me?" Sun Weimeng had many complaints against Zhao Qin, and Xia Sisi was the most profound conflict between them. At this time, revenge was needed, and grievances were avenged.
"Sun Weimeng, who do you think you are? We have new and old grudges..."
Bang!
The police slapped him on the forehead and said, "Behave yourself and stop nagging."
Zhao Qin's voice stopped abruptly.
Sun Weimeng laughed cheerfully, pointing his finger at Zhao Qin and laughing heartily.
"It's really fun! Zhao Qin, you still think you are the young master Zhao of the imperial capital. I will visit you in prison later." Sun Weimeng had been waiting for this day for a long time and finally felt proud.
Zhao Qin wished he could drink his blood and eat his flesh.
The place was quickly controlled and blocked by the police, and the precious cultural relics were sealed and transported by special vehicles.
These are all evidence!
But professional cultural relics experts are needed to cooperate with the investigation.
Zhao Qin and Pei Zheng were escorted into a police car, and the subordinates involved in the incident were unable to escape.
But the porters, who were hired at high prices, had bitter faces and cried out that they were being wronged, not knowing what was inside. They were all hired at high prices in the market.
Whether it is true or not is not yet known.
"If after investigation we find that you truly didn't know about this, we will definitely let you go. But now you must follow us back to the police station to give a statement. I hope you can cooperate so that we can all be more comfortable."
All these people were taken into the car.
Huo Xingzhou looked at the police car which was packed full, and the matter was over.
"Mr. Huo."
The police officer walked over to him and stopped him, "Thank you for your cooperation tonight. You have saved our country from huge losses."
“It’s a civic duty.”
"Then could you please come with us? We still have a lot of inside information and details to ask you." People like them only look at the results when handling cases. As for whether Huo Xingzhou is really fulfilling his civic duties or competing for interests, they will not pursue it too much.
"Of course, no problem. But I still have something to ask you. Has Li Cheng been caught?"
"We've already sent people! He almost escaped across the border, but thanks to... good citizens like you, we were able to intercept his private plane. I want to thank you and Master Zhong for this."
"You're welcome. I've been fed up with them for a long time."
You don't even hide it?
"Then let's go back to the police station now. Thank you for your hard work."
"Um."
A bunch of vehicles drove to the Imperial Capital Police Station one after another.
Huo Xingzhou and Sun Weimeng also got in the car. Sun Weimeng's face was full of excitement. "Finally, we got them all in. This time, the Pei family is not finished."
"Pei Zheng is very stubborn. The case may not be concluded so quickly. He won't plead guilty easily..."
"How can he be so tough? The evidence is right in front of him, why doesn't he admit it? It's just a matter of time, but I want to see how long he can hold on." Sun Weimeng said somewhat unconvinced.
Huo Xingzhou didn't say anything else, but took out his mobile phone and swiped the screen.
It's two o'clock in the morning.
But he felt that Qiao Xi must not have slept.
