Miao Ying scolded Zhao Yu. Although it was true that they had caught a gang that was counterfeiting cultural relics and lending money at the same time, in regards to the Tomb Murder Case, they had really lost face.
It was because all the branches were paying close attention to each other's movements. The Rùng Branch had used such a large police force to investigate the Tomb Murder Case, but in the end, they had made a huge mistake. They had only caught a group that was counterfeiting cultural relics. It was not a nice thing to say!
Firstly, Flower Market Street wasn't under the jurisdiction of Rùyang Branch. Secondly, counterfeiting wasn't within the scope of the criminal police's responsibility. Thirdly, the people were beaten up so badly that it was hard to explain to the higher-ups!
So, Miao Ying had to put in a lot of effort to help Zhao Yu clean up the mess. Captain Miao naturally complained!
But, facing Miao Ying's criticism, Zhao Yu didn't care at all. Anyway, he had caught a gang of criminals, so it could be said that he had gotten rid of a scourge for the people.
But, because of the miracle system, Zhao Yu didn't give up. In the end, he went to the interrogation room personally to interrogate Fat Sausage and the others. He even used the only lie detector. But, in the end, he still didn't get any news about the Tomb Murder Case.
Through the lie detector, it proved that Fat Sausage and the others were only responsible for counterfeiting cultural relics. Their circulation direction was the antique market, so they had almost no contact with the grave robbers.
So, the Tomb Murder Case had nothing to do with them!
Just like that, the police detectives struggled for the whole night. Although they had cracked the criminal gang, they didn't get any progress on the Tomb Murder Case.
After dawn, there was another two pieces of bad news.
First, the police detectives didn't find any suspicious vehicles through the surveillance video near Yunyang County. Although the video captured a few trucks that might have been carrying stolen goods, it was confirmed that there was no problem through the license plate.
Secondly, the investigation on the disappearance of the three old experts was also fruitless. The three of them might have done their homework in advance, as each of them had successfully evaded the tracking video. In the end, their whereabouts were unknown. No one knew where the three of them had gone.
Since the video tracking didn't work, the municipal criminal police team could only look for a breakthrough through interpersonal relationships. But, as for interpersonal relationships, they needed to visit and investigate them one by one. There wouldn't be any new clues for a while.
So, the various branches that wanted to solve the case could only use their own methods to investigate the case.
Early in the morning, the rain lessened slightly, but it showed no signs of stopping.
It was supposed to be a scorching summer day, but the heavy rain made it chilly and uncomfortable.
Although Zhao Yu didn't get any clues about the Tomb Case last night, he suddenly thought of a new idea through Fat Sausage's case.
According to Captain Miao Ying's instructions, Zhao Yu was mainly responsible for investigating suspicious cultural relics to see if he could find any information about the group of grave robbers!
Therefore …
Zhao Yu naturally focused on the word "cultural relic." But, whenever he mentioned the word, Zhao Yu would always think of Li Mengqi, the black market owner of the Deep Breath Club!
Due to the Bank Robbery Case, the underground black market that Li Mengqi controlled was uncovered by the police. She was now facing many charges and was being held in the detention center, waiting for the court's verdict.
According to Li Mengqi's confession, her black market was the largest in Qinshan. Most of the high-grade stolen goods would go through their hands.
Then …
Would Li Mengqi know anything about the relics from the Ming Dynasty tombs?
Thinking back to when the Mianling Case had reached a deadlock, Zhao Yu had gone to the prison to visit the expert. Through the introduction of the other kidnappers, he had made some progress.
Then …
This time, could he do the same thing?
As the saying goes, stones from another mountain can be used to polish jade. I wonder if this Li Mengqi will bring me some new information or new ideas?
But, although he didn't have much contact with her, Zhao Yu knew the rules of the black market. If he were to interrogate Li Mengqi, she wouldn't tell him easily.
So, Zhao Yu had to do some homework. Zhao Yu spent the whole morning preparing the information and contacting the relevant personnel in the detention center. He only arrived at the detention center when it was lunchtime to interrogate Li Mengqi.
Li Mengqi was no longer the domineering female boss at the Depth of Breath Gymnasium when she was stuck behind a high wall. She hung her head low and looked listless. The white hair on her temples made her look even older.
As expected, when Zhao Yu told her the purpose of his visit and asked her where the relics could be sold from, Li Mengqi pretended to be dumb.
She said that she didn't like unlucky things. Ever since she started the black market, she rarely dealt with grave robbers. Plus, she said that the grave robbers nowadays were very smart. Usually, for newly excavated tombs, they would transport the stolen goods to other places to be sold!
What Li Mengqi said was exactly what Zhao Yu was worried about.
Although after the case, the municipal bureau conducted traffic control and strictly checked the passing cars, high-level grave robbers usually had their own transportation channels. However, high-level grave robbers usually had their own transportation channels. The relics that were excavated from the prefect's tomb might not be in Qinshan anymore.
"Stop fooling around, sis!" Zhao Yu smiled and said, "Your business is the biggest in Qinshan. Even if you don't like gloomy things, as someone from the underworld, you must have heard about it!
"I'm here with sincerity today. You've heard about the Tomb Murder Case. If you can help us, the police, find clues, then it will only be good for you and not bad for you!
"Look, it won't be long before you're sentenced! I think you should know how you will end up in the end! So, this is a great opportunity for you to make a contribution! If you make a contribution, your sentence will be reduced the most!
"I say, Big Sister, you are a businessman. Don't tell me you can't calculate this?"
"Humph!" Li Mengqi glared at Zhao Yu. "If it wasn't for you, would I end up like this? You said that you came with sincerity? The way I see it, you're here for yourself! "
"Hey? You can't say that … "
Zhao Yu said, but he was happy in his heart. If Li Mengqi dared to say that, she most likely knew something.
"Police officer, what do you want me to do? I don't know anything! I don't care about the Tomb Murder Case! "Li Mengqi was obviously emotional.
"You can introduce me to a few good masters in terms of appraisal! If the grave robbers want to do it, they have to find an expert to take a look, right? " Zhao Yu said. "Also, besides your black market merchant, who else could take over such a big business? Who likes to buy unearthed cultural relics and so on … "
"Hehe …" Li Mengqi laughed coldly. "What a joke! In order to reduce my sentence, you want me to betray my peers? Even if I were to be sentenced to life imprisonment, I wouldn't do such a thing! Plus, I still have a family. If I betray them, what would happen to my family? "
"Oh?" Zhao Yu smiled. "You also know that you have a family?"
Then, Zhao Yu showed Li Mengqi the picture on his phone. The picture was of a beautiful lady in her twenties. The lady was Li Mengqi's daughter.
"You?!" Seeing Zhao Yu talk about her daughter, Li Mengqi was furious. She slammed the table and shouted, "You! What do you want? "
"Don't panic! Listen to me … "Zhao Yu smiled maliciously." Your daughter is studying in America. Her tuition fee is really high! She is just a young lady. Where does her living expenses and tuition fees come from? Do you think she has a shadow account or something?
"Oh, I just found out that our country has a way to freeze a suspect's overseas account. If we can find out that your daughter's source of funds is related to you … Tsk tsk …"
"I'll tell you! I'll tell you! " Li Mengqi understood what Zhao Yu meant. She quickly begged for mercy. "Whatever you want to know, I'll tell you! But, I'm begging you, please don't touch my daughter! She is still young, alone overseas. If she doesn't even have a source of income, I … "
