Chapter 234: The toughest thing about him is his mouth!
Although he was still a little nervous, Li Guofu forced himself to calm down when he thought of his own arrangements.
Pretend nothing happened.
Little did he know that in Old Wu's eyes, he could already see that Li Guofu was feeling a little guilty.
"I came here today originally to ask you about the murder case involving educated youth in your village, but I received another report saying that you hid cultural relics and traded them privately." Old Wu spoke calmly with his hands behind his back.
Xiao Feng was standing aside and was stunned when he heard this.
Didn’t you say that before you came?
Why has the rhetoric changed?
The four public security comrades who followed over also looked at each other.
Although the actual purpose is to investigate cultural relics, but before coming, didn't they say that they wanted to investigate corruption, and then accidentally got involved in the issue of cultural relics?
Why is it different from what we agreed?
Why did you hit a straight ball right at the start?
Aren’t you afraid of alerting the enemy?
Now? Not afraid anymore?
Village chief Li Guofu did not expect that the public security comrade in front of him would come up and talk about cultural relics so directly.
These words caught Li Guofu off guard.
But he still forced himself to comfort himself and spoke with a smile.
"Comrade Public Security, is there any misunderstanding? I am the village chief of this village. How could I have any connection with cultural relics?"
"Besides, I have lived in Kaoshan Village all my life, and I have never heard of any cultural relics in Kaoshan Village. Are you mistaken?"
"You said that you received a report. Who made the report? Is there any evidence?" Li Guofu is indeed mentally strong.
Although he was flustered, he did not show it on the surface. Instead, he acted as if he had suffered a great injustice.
The daughter-in-law, who was standing by, was also stunned when she heard the conversation between the two parties.
How did it get involved with cultural relics? What is that? How could someone report such a thing?
Although I am used to extorting people on a daily basis, it’s just a matter of a few dollars. Cultural relics? This thing sounds very unusual, right?
My father-in-law is not really suspected of reselling cultural relics...
Old Wu was standing opposite Li Guofu, watching Li Guofu acting here with a smile in his eyes.
"Shouldn't you be very clear about whether you did it or not?" Old Wu spoke, his aura clearly revealed.
It has to be said that he is worthy of being a soldier. The aura of a superior is so great that even Li Baobei's mother is a little scared.
"I have really been wronged. Just tell me who reported me and we can confront each other face to face. I am an upright person with a clear conscience." Li Guofu said with his head held high and his chest puffed out, with a serious face.
If there wasn't solid evidence, Old Wu would have almost believed it.
Old Wu smiled and pointed to the kitchen, then to the main room.
"You can't see the person who reported you for the time being, but the evidence is here. Do you want to see it?" Old Wu spoke again.
When Li Guofu saw the two places pointed out by Old Wu, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I will naturally not admit to something I haven't done. Since the public security comrades have doubts and there are some areas of suspicion, you can just check it out." Li Guofu said with a serious face.
Judging from Li Guofu's performance, several public security comrades and Xiao Feng have basically confirmed that there should be no cultural relics in the two places mentioned by Gu Nan before.
Otherwise, Li Guofu wouldn't have reached this point and still been stubborn.
There was no sense of fear at all.
In fact, when he heard what Old Wu said, he felt a sense of relief.
"Then please come in." Old Wu didn't care at all and made a gesture of invitation.
Obviously, this was to let Li Guofu take him to the main hall first.
After the group entered the main room, they found the entrance to a cellar under a carpet near the window.
Old Wu lifted the wooden board covering the top, pointed at the iron plate underneath and the padlock on the iron plate, and motioned Li Guofu to open it.
Li Guofu took out the key, walked over and squatted next to the cellar entrance.
Li Guofu looked up at Old Wu.
"Comrade from the Public Security Bureau, if after this cellar is opened, there are no cultural relics as you said, then I have been falsely accused. How should this matter be resolved?" Li Guofu smiled as he spoke.
"Just because there's one here doesn't mean there's one somewhere else!" Old Wu said with a smile, then nodded to signal Li Guofu to open the lock.
Li Guofu always felt that there was something else behind the words of this public security comrade.
But you can only open this lock first.
After the lock was opened, the iron plate was lifted up.
Old Wu took out a flashlight and shone it into the cellar.
There was almost nothing inside.
Old Wu went straight down into the cellar. I found only some discarded plates and bowls inside. There was also some straw and some rusty farm tools.
There is nothing else.
Moreover, these plates and bowls do not look like cultural relics at all.
Just ordinary, broken or old plates and bowls.
"Did you find anything?" Xiao Feng asked Lao Wu with a worried look on his face.
Old Wu came out of the cellar and shook his head.
There was nothing inside, which was something Old Wu had expected, so he was not too disappointed.
However, Xiao Feng felt a little disappointed when he saw that Lao Wu didn't find anything after going downstairs.
"Public Security Comrade, let me say that I am a good citizen! I really don't have any cultural relics hidden in my home." Now, Li Guofu had a legitimate reason to explain his injustice.
It was also at this time that Li Guofu's eldest son returned.
He is Li Baobei’s father.
After coming in, Li Baobei's mother, who was in the yard, instantly felt like she had found her backbone.
"Boss, you're back. Go in and take a look. Someone reported our father for reselling cultural relics."
When Li Baobao's mother saw her husband coming back, she hurried to greet him and briefly explained the situation to him.
Then he hurried into the main room.
"father?"
Li Guofu responded and told his eldest son the details.
Li Jinshu immediately became unhappy.
"Even if it's you, you can't slander people without any evidence, right? Now that we have investigated and checked the cellar, shouldn't you give us an explanation?" Li Jinshu said to Lao Wu with his neck stiff.
These words made Old Wu laugh.
"Haven't we only checked the cellar now? Aren't there other places we haven't checked yet? Don't you think so?" Old Wu said the first part to Li Guofu's son, and the second part to Li Guofu.
Li Guofu always felt that there was something else behind Old Wu's words, but he also felt that he was doing things very secretly and should not be discovered.
