"At least, I took revenge for myself!" Ran Tao comforted himself. "So, it shouldn't be considered a draw, right?"
"Of course!" Wu Xiumin looked at Zhao Yu and said, "Team Leader even pushed the woman against the wall! Hehe, I feel good just looking at it! To deal with such a hot-tempered woman, you have to be like Team Leader and use violence against violence! "
"Fine! Why does it sound like you are scolding me for being a hooligan? " Zhao Yu looked helpless. He hadn't expected that Wu Fangfang wasn't as weak as he had thought. She had actually taken drastic measures against him!
"Wrong! I didn't say that Team Leader was a hooligan! "Wu Xiumin corrected him seriously." Our Team Leader should be a stinky hooligan! "
Once she said that, everyone burst into laughter. Cui Lizhu glanced at Zhao Yu from the dark. She wondered what was on her mind.
After a few minutes, the information that Wu Fangfang had given them was printed out. Zhao Yu and his team members browsed through it carefully.
It turned out that, as the Gem Theft Special Task Force, they had really put in a lot of effort into the case.
Apart from solving the case, they had also done a lot of peripheral work. They had set up an information network around the world. So, once the Tamil Star reappeared, they would be the first to know about it.
What surprised Zhao Yu and the others the most was that, before Wu Fangfang took over, all of the Gem Theft Special Task Force members treated one person as the main suspect. But, this person wasn't the king of thieves, Tao Xiang!
The suspect's name was Akanksha, and he was an Indian. In order to make it easier to address him, the task force called him AK!
AK was a wealthy businessman from India. His leather company was spread all over the world, and he was an internationally renowned tycoon.
But, apart from being a tycoon, he had another important identity. He was the owner of the Tamil Star!
That's right. When the gemstone was stolen, the police first suspected that he was the owner of the gemstone. They suspected that he had hired someone to steal the gemstone.
As it turned out, the Tamil Star had ended up in Europe due to the chaos of war. It was AK himself who had bought it at a sky-high price from an auction in Europe. After he bought it, he turned the Indian national treasure into his personal collection.
For a long time, because of the significance of the gemstone, India had always hoped that AK would donate the gemstone to the country. However, AK refused. He believed that since he had paid a sky-high price, the gemstone should belong to him legally! Not to mention donating it, he would not even be willing to buy it back at the same price.
Later on, AK's company was involved in a lawsuit that required him to renounce his Indian citizenship. In the end, the Indian government saw the opportunity and once again proposed to donate the gemstones. They wanted to take advantage of AK's predicament to take back the gemstones.
Originally, everyone thought that AK would choose to lose money to avoid disaster and give up the gemstone for his own future.
But who knew that at this critical moment, the gemstone would be stolen from an exhibition in China! Considering that the theft took place under such circumstances, one could not help but suspect the AK.
The gemstone was lost, and it was lost in another country, so the Indian government could no longer threaten AK with it.
Yes. If it was really planned by AK himself, it meant that he could avoid trouble and obtain the gemstone at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.
Because of such a delicate relationship, the loss of the gemstone had caused such a huge diplomatic storm.
Besides, the special task force was familiar with the country's environment for collecting stolen goods. Not many people could afford to eat such a high-standard treasure like the Tamil Star. Even if someone could, they wouldn't dare to eat it! After all, eating the stolen goods would be challenging the authority of the country. No one would want to ruin their own future for such an item!
Hence, the police had no choice but to list AK as the number one suspect and focus their investigation on him.
However, Wu Fangfang's investigation record clearly showed that, after such a long period of follow-up investigation, there was no evidence that AK was really involved in the theft. Plus, the police had sent a special agent to investigate. Now, it was basically confirmed that the Tamil Star was really not in AK's hands!
Actually, it wasn't just the China police. The Indian government had also sent countless spies to investigate AK thoroughly, but in the end, they all returned empty-handed.
In that case, things became even more interesting!
If the gemstone wasn't in AK's hands, nor was it with Tao Xiang, and it hadn't reappeared for many years, then … Where is it now?
If the gemstone was really stolen by Tao Xiang, why didn't it end up with him? What happened during this period of time?
Cui Lizhu analyzed the situation and said, "After my dad came back, not only did he have brain problems, but I also found many abrasions and bruises on his body! So, I suspect that my dad might have been betrayed! "
She then added, "For example, the person who sent my dad to steal the gemstone didn't want to pay and wanted to kill him. Then, my dad found out about it, so he barely managed to escape. "
Wu Xiumin nodded and said, "I read the analysis of Tao Xiang's condition. His skull wasn't deformed, nor was there any bone fracture. However, his brain tissue was severely damaged. This meant that Tao Xiang's brain might have been hit hard, or he might have fallen from a high place, or it might have been caused by someone else. "
Wu Xiumin then added, "I feel that he most likely suffered a serious blow during the chase. Plus, it's more likely that he fell from a high place! The abrasions and bruises on his body were caused by the fall! "
"That makes sense!" Zeng Ke guessed. "Do you think that the person who chased Tao Xiang was AK? AK cooperated with Tao Xiang and asked Tao Xiang to help him steal the gemstone. After that, AK wanted to kill Tao Xiang, so he forced Tao Xiang off the cliff? "
"That can't be right!" Ran Tao scratched his head. "If AK killed his employer, why didn't he get the gemstone later? Could it be that the gemstone is still with Tao Xiang? "
Ran Tao's words stunned everyone, then they all looked at Cui Lizhu.
"Hey, if I had seen the gemstone, I wouldn't be so poor now!" Cui Lizhu waved her hand helplessly.
"Actually, there is another question that we haven't figured out yet!" Zhao Yu walked up to the whiteboard and frowned. "Tao Xiang went to steal the gemstone. He originally planned to come back in ten days, but in the end, it took him more than thirty days to come back. So, where did he go during those days?"
"I remember that on either the fifth or sixth day after my dad left, there was news about the gemstone being stolen on TV," Cui Lizhu recalled. "But, when my dad came home, it was already more than twenty days later. When he came back, he was very embarrassed, and his clothes were not the same as before!
I asked him a lot of questions, such as what happened to him and where he went, but he just wouldn't tell me! "
"I feel that the more he refused to tell me, the more suspicious it is!" Wu Xiumin said suspiciously. "So, if we can find out where Tao Xiang went and who he met during those twenty days, maybe we can find some clues!"
"The exhibition is in the capital, so he could have traveled all over the country," Zeng Ke said helplessly. "Tao Xiang is a nobody, so I'm afraid there's no way to find him."
"So, this is a dead end!" Wu Xiumin said. "No wonder the task force couldn't find the gemstone's whereabouts after six years!"
"Don't be so discouraged." Zhao Yu clapped his hands and said to everyone, "Nothing is absolute in this world! Have you ever thought about it? Although Tao Xiang is known as the king of thieves, no matter how capable he is, he still needs a middleman for every transaction? " Zhao Yu turned to Cui Lizhu and said, "What about you? Think about it carefully. Who could be the middleman? This person could be your father's friend, or he could be pretending to be your neighbor! "
"Hey!" Cui Lizhu looked at Zhao Yu with disdain. "Don't call me Xiao Zhu, okay? You make me sound like I'm in a cartoon! "
"Um …" Ran Tao raised his eyebrows, then pointed to his chest and whispered, "This place is really cartoonish …"
"Ran Tao, what are you talking about? Mind your manners! "Wu Xiumin immediately said to him.
"Okay, I'll think about it carefully!" Cui Lizhu replied. "Actually, I've had such doubts for a long time! But, my dad never told me where he got his news from! And, as far as I know, he really doesn't have any friends! "
"It's okay. Think about it carefully. Once you think of a suspicious person, we'll check it out!" Zhao Yu said. "If there really is such a middleman, maybe he knows something!"
"Okay … Let's start with the female fish seller!" Cui Lizhu shrugged her shoulders. "She's the person I've ever seen who talked to my dad the most!"
"Okay … Leave it to me!" Zeng Ke pointed to the computer and said, "Tell me about her situation. I'll find her now …"
"Okay! You guys go ahead, I have to go out and do something! " Zhao Yu pointed to Cui Lizhu. "You have to keep an eye on Xiao Zhu. I have a feeling that Wu Fangfang might make a comeback! You have to be careful! "
"Got it!" After everyone agreed, Cui Lizhu quickly asked, "Officer Zhao, then … Where are you going?"
"I'm in a bad mood these days, so I need to find a place to vent my anger …" Zhao Yu corrected himself after seeing everyone's strange looks. "I'm just kidding. My Phaeton is still at the police station! I have to drive it back, so I have to go … "
