Chapter 397 You are the suspect
The next morning, Xiao Peng was woken up again, but this time it was not the phone call or Walter and the others who woke him up, but the sound of sirens.
"Parisians are fucking crazy!" Xiao Peng found that after staying in Marseille for so long, he also acquired the characteristics of the Marseilles: he could never look down on Parisians.
Just after he finished complaining, someone suddenly knocked on the door. When he opened the door, Walter and Kasim came in. They were also woken up by the police car, so they came directly to see if Xiao Peng was awake and to see what the situation in the city of Paris was like today before deciding whether to go find Hengheng.
"These Paris police are such jerk-ass bastards!" Xiao Peng said angrily as he put on his clothes. "Can't we get any sleep? Why are there so many police cars?"
Kasin tilted his head and said to Walter: “Boss, aren’t we here to arrest you?”
"Shut up, you crow!" Walter said, "Everything that happened yesterday is over. Who would come to arrest me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
Xiao Peng and the others exchanged glances. Ka Xin walked out and opened the door, and a group of police officers rushed in. Ka Xin was pushed aside and said, "Lie on the ground with your hands on your head!"
Before Xiao Peng and Walter could figure out what was going on, several guns were already pointed at them: "Put your hands up!"
"Hello, Mr. Policeman, is there any misunderstanding?" Xiao Peng raised his hand.
"There's a gun!" the man holding Kasim suddenly said.
When the police in the room heard the word "gun", they pushed Xiao Peng and Walter to the ground and handcuffed their hands behind their backs.
"It's licensed! Legal!" Kasim said hurriedly, "The gun license is in my breast pocket!"
After hearing this, a policeman took out the gun license from Kasim's chest, looked at it, and nodded to another policeman.
Walter also said: "My gun license is also in my clothes!"
After checking the two men's gun licenses, the police hesitated. In France, anyone who could roam freely with a special Class B license must be a powerful figure. They all looked at the officer behind them, the lead officer for this operation!
"Are you Xiao Peng from China?" the police officer walked up to Xiao Peng and asked.
This made Xiao Peng stunned: He thought these people came for Walter, but why did it seem like they were coming for him?
"It's me, what's the problem?" Xiao Peng felt uncomfortable being pinned down by someone! But after all, these were police officers, so he didn't resist just now. Otherwise, how could a few random people pin him down?
"Hello, Mr. Xiao. We are French police officers. You can call me Officer Renault. Yesterday, terrorist attacks occurred simultaneously in several districts of Paris. You should be aware of this."
Xiao Peng lay on the ground and said, "I know. My bodyguard told me about this yesterday. I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise you can expect to receive my lawyer's letter."
There was also some pretense in his words, he was calling himself both a 'bodyguard' and a 'lawyer'.
"Sorry, we're just doing our job." Renault wasn't buying it: "If there's anything you're not satisfied with, you can complain to us! But don't expect us to change our attitude towards you."
Xiao Peng frowned: "Can I know why you want to arrest me?"
Renault made a shocking statement: "Because you are suspected of being involved in the terrorist attack that took place in downtown Paris last night!"
"Are you mistaken?" Walter exclaimed. "Our boss didn't leave the house yesterday! He came to Paris for a charity concert to help the families of injured firefighters, and he donated 300 million worth of wealth! I think you should have seen this news in the newspaper today!"
"Three hundred million?" A policeman nearby exclaimed subconsciously after hearing this.
How much wealth does a person who can donate 300 million to charity need? As a police officer, dealing with rich people is the most troublesome thing!
Renault frowned upon hearing this, his tone changing significantly. "Mr. Xiao, no matter what, you're implicated in last night's terrorist attack. So, we hope you'll go back and assist us in the investigation. If you have no problems, you wouldn't be afraid of the investigation, right? You need to come with us!"
Xiao Peng frowned. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't understand how he could be connected to the terrorist attack!
"What's going on?" A woman's voice came from the door. Jenny and the twins came over and exclaimed when they saw this scene.
A policeman at the door asked, "Is this your friend?"
"Yes!" Jenny did not deny it.
"He is now involved in a terrorist attack." said the policeman at the door.
Jenny frowned. "A terrorist attack? Are you mistaken? This is Xiao from China. He's the most popular 'salvage king' in the French media right now. He's a typical billionaire. Even the Bank of France and government departments are cooperating with him. How could he be involved in a terrorist attack?"
"Ah?" Jenny's words surprised the police in the room.
They weren't the type to ignore the news. They knew there was a Chinese man in Marseille who had quickly become a billionaire through deep-sea salvaging, especially since his recent discovery of Black Sea shipwrecks and Ottoman royal treasure had caused quite a stir. The latter was particularly concerning, as France and Turkey were currently at loggerheads, and the French were happy to see the Turks suffer a setback.
As for Jenny's claim that the Bank of France and French government departments were seeking cooperation from Xiao Peng, they also believed it. After all, Turkey was contacting France daily to demand the return of the Ottoman royal treasures discovered by Xiao Peng, and the French government had also shown a rare firmness, rejecting the Turkish government's request on the grounds of complying with nationality laws.
You want it? You can buy it through legal commercial channels!
The French people happily eat melons every day!
Now, they have caught the target of the feast!
Several policemen looked at Renault together.
Renault coughed twice and said, "Let Mr. Xiao get up first. Since Mr. Xiao is so important, he will definitely not run away."
Xiao Peng stood up, stretched his arms and legs, and asked, "I abide by the law. If you want me to cooperate, I will certainly cooperate with you. But can I know why you link the terrorist attack case to me?"
Renault replied, "Mr. Xiao, you must know Xiao Hengheng, right? He immigrated to France through your connections, right?"
Xiao Peng was stunned after hearing this: "Yes, what's the problem?"
Renault replied, "In the terrorist attack last night, it was Xiao Hengheng who took the lead in detonating the bomb!"
"What?" Xiao Peng was shocked. "How is she now?"
Renault replied, "When the bomb was detonated, Xiao Hengheng was also killed. We identified her through the remains. That's why we came to you and need your cooperation in the investigation!"
