Wu Xiumin handed the interrogation report to Zhao Yu. Through the interrogation last night, the four men confessed to murdering Fan Bowei and Huang Lican, attacking the guards of the container yard, and stealing money.
It turned out that the four people were drug dealers from Mahazaya. They were the subordinates of a famous drug lord in Mahazaya. They had come to Xiangjiang for the banknotes hidden in the bronze Buddha statues.
The whole story of the crime could be traced back to the coup that had taken place in Mahazaya not long ago.
Mahazaya was an independent archipelago country in Southeast Asia. Due to its unique geographical location, many of the islands had connections with drug dealers from all over the world. Hence, it was known as the Golden Triangle of the Sea. Every year, a large number of drugs would flow out from there.
Moreover, the local government had been in cahoots with the drug dealers for a long time.
However, not long ago, the reformist faction in Mahazaya suddenly rose to power and launched a coup in the capital. They overthrew the old faction and established a new government.
After that, the new government was determined to avenge itself. Soon, it united many parties and carried out an unprecedented joint operation to wipe out the drug lords hiding in Mahazaya.
Among them, there was a man named Polo Ahom, who was the leader of the drug lords. He had a premonition that he was doomed. In order to preserve his strength, he cast all the drug money that he had accumulated over the years into the bronze Buddha statues and sent them to Xiangjiang.
Then, he started to smuggle his family to Xiangjiang to find the bronze Buddha statues and continue living the life of a rich man.
However, before he could retreat in one piece, the joint army attacked his lair. He and his family all died in that purge, but his four subordinates were lucky enough to survive.
The four of them gathered together and discussed it. They felt that it was a great opportunity to get rich. As long as they could find the four Buddha statues, they would be able to earn more money than they could spend in ten lifetimes.
However, they were just ordinary subordinates of Polo Ahom. Although they had participated in the transportation of the banknotes and knew that the Buddha statues had been sent to Xiangjiang, they had no idea where the statues were stored or where they were transported to.
Moreover, the most troublesome thing was that Polo Ahom's other subordinates must have survived. Those people would also target the Buddha statues. Hence, they had to strike while the iron was hot.
As a result, the four of them finally sneaked into Xiangjiang after a lot of trouble.
However, when they went to the Xiangjiang cargo terminal, they were dumbfounded. There were so many containers, but they didn't know where the Buddha statues were stored.
They had no choice but to calm down and inquire step by step.
In the end, after asking around, the four of them finally learned more information. They learned that Fan Bowei, the director of the customs cargo department, could help them find the location of the Buddha statue, and Huang Lican, who was in the container yard at the dock, could help them transfer the banknotes at the dock.
At first, they only wanted to use the simplest method, which was to use force to kidnap Fan Bowei and Huang Lican at the same time to force them to find the location of the Buddha statue and transport the things inside the Buddha statue.
However, these four people were quite clever. They knew that it was not possible to transfer the banknotes in the Buddha statue in a short time. If they just threatened these two people, it would be easy to expose them.
Thus, they had already aroused killing intent a long time ago, and they didn't want to leave anyone alive.
However, they soon realized that even if they killed the person, they wouldn't be able to do it. After killing the person, the police would immediately investigate the deceased's work situation and quickly shift their attention to the customs or the docks.
In that case, they would be going for wool and come home shorn.
Hence, at the critical moment, one of the people named Mi Yang suddenly came up with a plan and thought of the idea of Kuman Thong.
That was because two of the Kuman Thong serial murders had happened in Mahazaya, so their memories were still fresh in their minds.
Mi Yang thought that if they could disguise the murder scene as a Kuman Thong murder case, they could divert the police's attention and create a diversion.
Moreover, when they were investigating Huang Lican, they realized that Huang Lican had the habit of providing for Kuman Thong. They could make use of it to achieve their own goals.
Mi Yang's idea was immediately approved by his accomplices. Hence, a disguised Kuman Thong murder case happened!
If Zhao Yu hadn't seen the truth in the end and grasped the crux of the case, he might have really fallen into their trap.
At that time, they had already found the location of the container containing the Buddha statue through Fan Bowei's system check. Then, they used Huang Lican's pass to go to Pier 6 unimpeded.
Moreover, they had already anticipated that they wouldn't be able to move the Buddha statue along with it, so they had prepared cutting tools in advance to cut the Buddha statue.
However, they had neglected a crucial point in the end, which was their greed!
According to the criminal's confession, they had only used 20 minutes to cut one of the Buddha statues and take away the banknotes inside.
If they had stopped in time and driven the car away, they would have been able to escape the encirclement of Zhao Yu and the others.
Unfortunately, a man who was never content was like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. Looking at the unfilled pickup truck, the four of them didn't hesitate and started to cut the second Buddha statue …
In the end, it was their greed that led to their eventual demise. By the time they realized what had happened, it was too late for regrets!
"Amazing, amazing!" Just then, Inspector Cheng Jiajun came into the office and praised Zhao Yu and the others. "As expected of a detective!
"Fortunately, we met you. Otherwise, we would have been in big trouble!
"Hahaha … Now," Inspector Cheng said happily. "Not only did you prove that the two cases had nothing to do with the Kuman Thong murder case, but you also helped us crack a smuggling case worth hundreds of millions!
"Detective Zhao, your contributions cannot go unnoticed! Tomorrow night, we will be holding a press conference and celebration party at the police office. At that time, the chief superintendent will also … "
Zhao Yu wasn't in the mood to listen to Inspector Cheng's nonsense. He walked to the whiteboard and turned his gaze to the third whiteboard.
Through the interrogation of the four criminals, he now knew that Mia's death had nothing to do with them!
The four of them claimed that they didn't know who Mia was at all.
Moreover, that night, they had been preparing for the Buddha statue, so they didn't have the energy to pay attention to anything else.
So, Mia's death should have nothing to do with the two Kuman Thong cases.
If that's the case …
Zhao Yu frowned and had an ominous premonition. If Mia's death really had nothing to do with the two cases, then … What else could he have died for?
Could it be …
Could it be …
Suddenly, Zhao Yu's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly recalled the conversation he had with Mia. At that time, Zhao Yu had given him a few directions to investigate the case.
Zhao Yu could still remember that Mia's eyebrows relaxed after hearing that, as if he had thought of something.
Could it be … The cause of his death was related to the real Kuman Thong murder case?!
