Chapter 75 Honest Man



Seeing that she couldn't intimidate the old director, Wu Wei smiled apologetically: "Old director, don't get angry. It's not worth getting angry with a young guy like me."

I got carried away with the investigation and forgot my principles. Sorry. Can we search the evidence together?

"Alright, I'll be in charge of the investigation. As long as it doesn't involve the secrets of your classified unit, please just keep your eyes open and don't talk." The old director didn't trust this kind of person.

Having been a policeman my whole life, what kind of people haven't I seen?

From a secret agent during the Qing Dynasty to a law enforcement officer under warlords, then to an investigator during the War of Resistance against Japan, a member of the underground Communist Party, and an undercover police officer, I've come into contact with far too many people.

In his view, Wu Wei was just an impatient and opportunistic young woman.

Based on her own reasoning, Wu Wei believed the case could be solved and wanted to monopolize the power to solve it and claim the credit for it.

Most young people make this mistake.

It's not surprising. What's surprising is that he thinks Wu Wei is too self-important, taking a trivial matter as an excuse, and is a good-for-nothing brat.

Wu Wei couldn't argue, so she nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I'll follow your arrangements. Let's begin?"

"Wait!" Zheng Ya raised his hand to stop them.

This stunned everyone in the courtyard. What was going on? Could Zheng Ya possibly overturn the case at this point?

Wu Wei sneered on the spot: "What, are you afraid we'll search your house..."

"Old Director, may I ask if you have a search warrant?" Zheng Ya completely ignored Wu Wei's presence and asked the old director with a smile.

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Are you only allowed to frame and slander others, while the victims are not allowed to speak out and are thus barred from speaking out?

This is a society governed by the rule of law, which emphasizes equality for all. It doesn't mean that you can just break into someone's home and search their property.

Wu Wei was furious, her face dark with anger. She glared at Zheng Ya, wishing she could kill him with her glare. But the old director, worried that she might cause trouble, spoke up first: "Indeed, we rushed here after receiving the report without issuing a search warrant."

However, since the case you're involved in has caused such a big stir, if we don't search your home now to prove your family's innocence, some people might suspect that you've been destroying evidence during this time.

Therefore, I urge you to cooperate with us in searching your home and give everyone a satisfactory answer.

"Of course, I'll send someone back to get a search warrant and bring it over. You don't have any objections, do you?"

"Whether there's a search warrant or not, I'll let you into my house to search it and prove my family's innocence."

However, I need to explain this case-handling and search procedure to everyone in the compound, so that in the future some people will not rely on the titles of the "big brother" and "big brother" appointed by the street office to dominate the compound, act as local emperors, and run a one-man show, breaking into other people's homes and doing whatever they want without any search warrant.

Another problem is that, apart from the Yan family and the Shen family, no one else in the entire compound reported my family for engaging in enemy spy activities. Everyone else reported my family for being enemy spies.

"If they search my house and don't find that my family are enemy agents, what does their behavior count as?" How could Zheng Ya possibly let go of the opportunity to abuse beasts and generate income from infidelity points?

After just a few sentences, his "heartbreak value" skyrocketed to tens of thousands.

In just half an hour, my negative feelings skyrocketed to over 190,000 and are still rising. It couldn't be more comfortable.

However, compared to the Zhengde value of just over 30,000, Zheng Ya felt unbalanced. Zhengde value was too hard to earn!

Upon hearing his request, the old director smiled and nodded, saying, "You're right, everything has two sides."

If the people in your compound accuse your family of being enemy spies, and it is true, you will be rewarded for your meritorious service.

Conversely, their actions constitute false accusation.

If you are falsely accused, you have the right to call the police and have the person arrested.

"Okay, that's good!"

Men and women, young and old, in the courtyard, did you all hear that?

Throughout what happened last night, I leaned against my doorframe the entire time without moving an inch, and neither did my wife, Xu Qi, who was with me. Everyone could testify to this.

So, if the police officers enter my home and find no evidence of enemy spies, then you should prepare to face my wrath.

"Alright, I've finished speaking, please!" Zheng Ya didn't waste any more words. After speaking, he pulled Xu Qi to the left side of the gate, making way for the gate passage.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the courtyard felt uneasy.

After all, no one is a fool. Since Zheng Ya knew that Yi Zhonghai and others had given him gold bars and the code to the package, confirming that his family were enemy agents, why did he still so readily help everyone? There must be something fishy about this. Even a fool would find it impossible.

Of course, Zheng Ya would only act so recklessly if he were scared out of his wits.

Otherwise, it's a huge pit waiting for people to jump into and be buried!

While the people in the hospital were worried, Xu Qi calmed down. In her opinion, Zheng Ya never did anything he wasn't sure of.

Since Zheng Ya was so calm and composed, it means that he moved those gold bars and wrapping cloth.

As for how Zheng Ya transferred the gold bars and the coded evidence wrapped in cloth, that remains a mystery.

After all, a grandmaster's strength is something that others cannot know about.

Even though Xu Qi was a martial artist with internal strength, she had no idea how terrifying a master's strength was until she broke through to the Grandmaster level.

On the contrary, the old chief was very satisfied with Zheng Ya's performance and felt that if Zheng Ya became a police officer, he would definitely become a first-class elite detective.

As for Wu Wei, she was furious and resentful as she followed the other two policemen into Zheng Ya's house to begin a thorough search.

At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the search, hoping that the police would find out the results.

The old director did not enter Zheng Ya's house to participate in the search, but he went to the door of Zheng Ya's house to oversee the search inside and also to stabilize the situation in the yard, fearing that someone might cause trouble during this time.

This is the vigilance that comes with being a veteran policeman.

We must never let our guard down until the very last moment.

For example, what if all of this was a trap set by enemy agents to lure people in and then throw a bomb at them?

If there's no one outside to help, this medicine packet could very well be thrown directly into the house, killing everyone inside.

After all, no one can guarantee that there are no enemy agents lurking among the people in the compound.

It's worth noting that the people in this compound spreading rumors about enemy spies and exposing the code for sending telegrams recorded on the parcel cloth are likely not entirely unfounded.

Even if it's just a rumor, as a veteran police officer, the old chief dared not take it lightly, lest he lose sight of the bigger picture.

Just as the old director was on high alert, and two police officers and Wu Wei were searching Zheng Ya's house, Old Lady Long suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "That's right, I remember now?"

When Zheng Daotong was still alive, he mentioned one night that the codebook was hidden under the thick roof tiles of his house.

You really need to investigate this thoroughly!

“Yes, I’ve heard about this from the old lady. Sha Zhu, hurry up and help the police officers carry a ladder to the roof to look for evidence.” Yi Zhonghai understood what the old lady meant.

Since Zheng Ya quietly moved the gold bars and the wrapping cloth evidence, here's another piece of evidence. Let's see how you move evidence in full view of everyone.
