Chapter 963 Caught

This might be the most desperate time in Pei Zheng's life.

As the head of a noble family, he squatted on the ground with his head in his hands while cooperating with the investigation. No amount of dignity could save him from this situation. Pei Zheng's face flushed, and he looked up at Huo Xingzhou who was standing not far away.

How vicious!

The Huo family not only didn't want to sit at the table to eat, but also wanted to smash other people's bowls.

Vicious!

Who doesn't have some mistakes in business? 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 in his mind, and thought about his current situation. No matter who did business with Huo Xingzhou, it was not his turn to manage it. If he was not careful, he would end up in jail.

Pei Zheng was thinking about this, who could save him?

Or who can exonerate him 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 under torture?

He made up his mind to fight the uniformed men to the end.

The old wharf was as bright as day, and boxes of long-velvet quilts were unloaded one after another. Even the cargo ship that had sailed a short distance was ordered to return, and the boxes almost filled the entire wharf.

It looks spectacular.

Dozens of police officers checked the boxes one by one, and the velvet cotton flew everywhere.

They didn't dare to make any big moves, because they heard that there were precious cultural relics inside, and if they were accidentally damaged, they wouldn't be able to pay for it. These are national treasures.

"Brother-in-law."

Zhao Qin looked at the lively scene and said with gritted teeth, "We were all fooled by Li Cheng. He must have betrayed us long ago by joining Huo Xingzhou, and we were only allowed to escape tonight. This time we are in trouble..."

He has a ferocious face!

Whenever I thought about being tricked by that old bastard Li Cheng, I wanted to escape right now and beat him to death in public!

"Shut up."

Pei Zheng looked around and said in a low voice, "Don't say anything you shouldn't say, and don't admit anything once you're in police station. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I won't say a word."

Zhao Qin is a tough guy.

He also knew how serious this matter was, and that he might never get out of prison. He was only in his twenties, how could he spend his whole life in prison!

There were more than 300 cultural relics seized from those cargo ships.

Each piece is worth a lot of money.

If it were sold at an auction house, it could fetch tens of millions or even millions.

The quantity and amount are simply too great.

The Pei family must have an entire industrial chain, all of which involve illegal activities.

“Wow!”

Sun Weimeng stepped down from a speedboat. He was following Huo Xingzhou's instructions to deploy on the sea, fearing that these ships would really run away. Fortunately, the police came quickly and stopped the freighter before he could do anything, otherwise he really didn't know what to do with his small speedboat.

He walked up to Huo Xingzhou and said, "I didn't expect the Pei family to be so bold that they shipped out more than 300 cultural relics. In the past, they would have been traitors to the country!"

Huo Xingzhou's tone was cold, "It's the same now."

Smuggling means selling out the country.

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 not high.

All those good things are wasted.

Sun Weimeng put his hands on his waist 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 savage they are, just like dogs!"

"You insulted the dog."

"Oh yeah, what they did was worse than pigs and dogs."

Sun Weimeng did not lower his voice when he spoke, and Pei Zheng and Zhao Qin could both hear it.

Pei Zheng looked forbearing.

Zhao Qin was not so good-tempered.

"What did you say?" The police only asked him to squat with his head in his hands, but did not cover his mouth.

When Zhao Qin saw Sun Weimeng's complacent and arrogant look, he became even angrier.

"I was scolding you, didn't you hear me?" Sun Weimeng had many complaints against Zhao Qin, and Xia Sisi was the deepest conflict between them. At this time, it was time to take revenge and avenge.

"Sun Weimeng, who do you think you are? Our grudges are both new and old..."

Bang!

The police slapped him on the head and said, "Behave yourself and stop nagging me."

Zhao Qin's voice stopped abruptly.

Sun Weimeng laughed cheerfully, pointed at Zhao Qin and laughed out loud.

"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 he was proud of himself.

Zhao Qin wished he could drink his blood and eat his flesh.

The area was quickly controlled and sealed off by the police, and the precious cultural relics were sealed up and transported away 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 those subordinates who were involved in the incident were unable to escape.

However, the movers who were hired at high prices had bitter faces and shouted that they were being wronged. They had no idea what was going on. They were all hired at high prices in the market.

Whether it is true or false remains to be seen.

"If we find out that you really 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 it will be more convenient for all of us."

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 up to him and stopped him, "Thank you for your cooperation tonight. You 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." When they handle cases, they only look at the results. As for whether Huo Xingzhou is really fulfilling his civic obligations or competing for interests, they will not pursue it too much.

"Of course. But I have something else to ask you. Has Li Cheng been caught?"

"We've sent people! He almost escaped across the border, but thanks to... good citizens like you, we were able to intercept his private plane. We have to thank you and Master Zhong for this time."

"You're welcome. I've been fed up with them for a long time."

You don't even try to 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 was excited. "Finally, we got them all in. This time, the Pei family is not finished."

"Pei Zheng is very stubborn. The case may not be closed so quickly. He won't plead guilty easily..."

"How can he be so stubborn! 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.
