Police Station.
Ran Jing was still having a headache over the lack of progress in the case. Just then, a police officer from Li Chao's team knocked on her office door.
"Chief, good news! We've caught the key person in this flour smuggling operation. We've caught him and the goods. We've caught the whole chain from the source to the shipping channel to the city to the platform sales!"
Ran Jing immediately stood up. "Are you sure? Who captured him? "
"We are from Team Two, Team Leader Li Chao. These days, he has organized our secret investigation. Currently, he is on his way back with all the prisoners. He is going to capture the suspect Liu Xianming."
"Billionaire Liu Xianming? Why did you capture him? "Ran Jing asked curiously.
"This time, no one would have thought that the source of the goods was actually the yacht under the name of this tycoon. This guy is really going against the wind to commit a crime."
"No wonder he was able to amass wealth so quickly. The time he took to rise in Shangcheng is indeed a bit like a dream. Let's go, take me to your team leader."
At this time, Li Chao is arresting people in Liu Xianming's house.
Liu Xianming's lawyer is making things difficult for Li Chao and the others. Li Chao acted first and reported later to arrest Liu Xianming to prevent Liu Xianming from running away.
However, he didn't have an arrest warrant. Plus, Liu Xianming wasn't an ordinary person. His conglomerate and big companies were all famous in Shangcheng, including himself. No matter what, he was a celebrity in the business world. The fact that the police suddenly surrounded the mansion was already shocking enough. If the people were taken away as well, then Liu Xianming's reputation and business would take a huge hit.
Moreover, no one would be willing to let him be taken away!
Why?
Because Liu Xianming was the only one who knew who the collaborators were during the arrest, if he was brought in to force a confession, he would confess everyone else. Therefore, the lawyer wouldn't allow him to be taken away.
That's why Li Chao was deliberately made things difficult for him.
"What are you still doing here? Since you don't have the right to arrest me, then go back. Don't tell me you want me to invite you to stay for dinner? "Liu Xianming glanced at Li Chao who refused to leave.
Li Chao used his police car and his men to block the entrance of the villa.
If he allowed Liu Xianming to escape today, he reckoned that the people he had captured earlier were just one-sided plots. They definitely wouldn't know more about the inside story of the list. Therefore, he had to capture Liu Xianming today as a breakthrough.
Li Chao lit a cigarette on the balcony. Liu Xianming's words made him feel very annoyed.
He made a phone call to the subordinate who went to inform the director.
Ran Jing was probably the only one who could directly capture it. His reputation and rank did not allow him to do so. The tycoons behind Liu Xianming would tear him apart and lose his job.
Only Ran Jing could fight against it.
On the way, Ran Jing received a call from her superior.
It could be seen that the tycoons behind Liu Xianming were quite capable. They had already contacted Ran Jing's superior to pressure her.
The superior called and asked directly, "Do you think arresting Liu Xianming can end this case?"
Of course, Ran Jing didn't know much, but she felt that detaining Liu Xianming was a normal procedure.
"Leader, I'm just following the normal procedure to capture him."
Superior: "That won't do. Before we confirm that he was on the yacht and whether he was involved in making the flour, you can't arrest him. Tell your men not to block his front door and quickly retreat. Investigate whoever you arrest. Don't touch Liu Xianming for now."
"How can I not touch him? He's related to the flour production on his yacht." Ran Jing said.
"He is related, but you don't have any evidence. Even if you arrest him, you won't get anything out of him. Instead, you'll get yourself into trouble. You know he's working on the riverside project. Once he's arrested, are you going to fill this hole?"
Ran Jing: "Are we going to investigate this case or not?"
Superior: "Investigate! But don't touch Liu Xianming for now. When you have conclusive evidence, you can do whatever you want. I won't stop you. "
Ran Jing: "Okay, I got it."
After that, she directly hung up the phone.
The car had just arrived at Liu Xianming's house.
This person was just about to go out for work when Ran Jing's car directly stopped at the front door.
Liu Xianming was a little angry.
His bodyguards directly got out of the car and was about to make a move. But when they saw Ran Jing getting out of the car, they were all stunned.
After Ran Jing got out of the car, she didn't immediately talk to Liu Xianming. Instead, she asked Li Chao, "Didn't you come to arrest him? Where is he? "
When Li Chao saw that the director had arrived, he felt a lot more confident.
After Liu Xianming put down the window, he looked at Ran Jing outside the car and smiled. "Director Ran, what's the meaning of this?"
"Nothing much. Someone is making flour on the yacht under your name. It's very bad. You should know what kind of crime this is. Go back and accept our investigation."
"I'm sorry, I don't know anything about this. Most of the time, my yacht is managed by a third-party company, so I'm afraid this has nothing to do with me. If you have anything to say, you can talk to my lawyer. He'll be responsible for this. I still have a meeting to attend, so please move your car. Also, you have one minute to leave my house. Otherwise, I'll report you to the police station for trespassing."
"Regardless of whether you know anything about this or not, there's a possibility that you're a suspect. So, Mr. Liu, please come with us for investigation. We won't wrongly accuse any good citizen, but we won't let any suspect go, even if you're Mr. Liu!"
Liu Xianming looked deeply at Ran Jing and said, "I have a meeting about the riverside project. If I don't take charge of this project, I'm afraid it'll be very difficult to proceed."
"If you're suspected of making flour and selling it, then a project like you is definitely a black-hearted one. You should come with me."
Liu Xianming looked at Ran Jing blankly. Then, he calmed down and said, "I'll make a call."
Then, he pulled up the window. The sound insulation of a high-end business car was very good.
After calling for five minutes, he pulled down the window and handed the phone to Ran Jing.
"Please talk to your superior."
Ran Jing's phone was turned off, so her superior couldn't call her. He could only call Liu Xianming to pass the call to Ran Jing.
Ran Jing took a deep breath and picked up the phone in annoyance.
The person on the other side of the phone sighed. "Little Jing, you have to calm down. I know you're very anxious about this case, but have you thought about it? If you arrest him now and don't find anything, your position in the police station will be even more awkward. I watched you get to this position, so just endure it. Don't be used by others."
Ran Jing took a deep breath and said, "I understand, boss."
After hanging up the phone, she handed it to Liu Xianming.
"You can interrogate the people on that yacht as you wish. I can prove that I'm innocent." Liu Xianming said with a smile and waved his hand. "I heard that Director Ran works very hard, but you still need to strike a balance between work and rest. How about we have afternoon tea together?"
