"Brother, the buffet in this hotel's restaurant is amazing. The ice cream and cake are delicious. But I have to go back to school tomorrow night. I won't be able to eat it for the next few days. I can't bear to leave. What should I do?"
The next morning, when Xia Pingan and Xia Ning came out of the hotel's buffet restaurant after breakfast, Xia Ning, whose belly was round from eating, had a new worry.
As a foodie, the Guangzhou Hotel's buffet restaurant was like Eunuch Ma discovering a new continent for Xia Ning.
"We can't afford to go back for the next few days. I transferred some money to your card. If you need clothes, you can buy them yourself!" Xia Pingan said to Xia Ning.
"Brother, you reported the case yesterday. Can we get our money back?"
"Don't worry!" Xia Pingan replied confidently.
If the reporters from Optics Valley News Agency lost their money and guns in Xianghe City, and the suspects were two rascals who only knew how to play tricks, the police in Xianghe City would be too incompetent if they couldn't solve the case.
Therefore, this case had to be solved. They had to give the person who reported the case an explanation.
At this moment, Xia Pingan's phone rang. Xia Pingan took out his phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. Xia Pingan answered the call.
"Hello!" a female voice said.
On the other side of the phone was a female voice, "Is this Mr. Xia Pingan? Hello, I am Officer Qian Lan from the Xianghe City Police Station. My colleagues and I are currently in the lobby of the Guangzhou Hotel. We have already arrested the suspect who trespassed into your rented apartment yesterday. We have already interrogated him last night and have some results.
"Are you in the hotel lobby? Okay, I will come down now!"
After hanging up the phone, Xia Ning stuck out his tongue. "Brother, the police called you?"
You don't have to worry about it. I might not have time to accompany you today. We'll be moving in a few days. There's a computer in the hotel. You can use the computer to look for a suitable place and find a house. After I'm done with this, I'll go out and take a look. When I come back tonight, we'll discuss again and see where we'll move to! "
"Alright!"
The two separated at the elevator. Xia Ning returned to his room, while Xia Pingan took the elevator to the hotel lobby.
Just as he walked into the hotel lobby, he saw two people sitting on the sofa in the lounge area of the lobby. They were a man and a woman. Both of them were dressed in casual clothes and looked very capable.
The man was in his thirties. He had a crew cut and wore a black jacket. His eyes were sharp. The woman was in her twenties. Her hair was tied up in a ponytail. She was very pretty and wore an exquisite casual suit.
The two of them were chatting, but their gazes were faintly focused on the elevator.
Xia Pingan directly walked over.
Seeing Xia Pingan walking towards them, the two people glanced at Xia Pingan before standing up.
"Mr. Xia Pingan, nice to meet you!" The woman smiled and took the initiative to reach out her hand to Xia Pingan. She was enthusiastic and generous. "I am Qian Lan, from the Public Relations Department of the Xianghe City Police Station. This is Liu Rui, the deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Xianghe City Police Station. The case you reported last night will be handled by the two of us!"
The Xianghe City Police Station had sent a beautiful police officer from the Public Relations Department and a deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Unit to handle this matter. This was a gesture to show that the police attached great importance to Xia Pingan's case.
Xia Pingan shook hands with the two police officers and then sat on the sofa in the lounge area.
As soon as he sat on the sofa, Xia Pingan opened his mouth. "I'm sorry to have caused trouble for the police station yesterday. If it was a small matter, I wouldn't have called the police if I could handle it myself. However, the situation yesterday was special. My residence was illegally invaded and I lost a lot of property, paintings, and work guns. Moreover, I encountered a death threat. I had no choice but to leave with my sister first and ask the police for help!"
Qian Lan and Liu Rui looked at each other. Seeing that Xia Pingan's attitude was calm, the two of them were actually relieved.
Yesterday, the husband and wife were arrested and brought to the police station. After a round of interrogation, they were scared witless and confessed everything.
The husband and wife were the new landlords. They did enter Xia Pingan's rented house without Xia Pingan's permission and found a locksmith to change the lock of the new house.
Not to mention, if it was just changing the lock, it wouldn't be a big problem. More importantly, after the two of them entered Xia Pingan's rented house, their hands and feet were not clean. They even rummaged through the house, taking away all the paintings hanging in the house and the 20,000 yuan that they found in the house.
The reason why the two were so unscrupulous was because they heard that Xia Pingan was just a car mechanic with a sister. He had no power or influence and was the kind of person who could be easily bullied. Therefore, the two deliberately wanted to bully him and take advantage of him.
According to the couple's explanation, Xia Pingan's lost painting had been found. It was in their house. The money they took from the house was only about 20,000 yuan. As for the guns, they had never seen them from the beginning to the end.
When they heard that Xia Pingan was a reporter from the Optics Valley News Agency and that he had reported the loss of 500,000 yuan, a gun, and bullets, the husband and wife were so scared that they peed their pants. They cried in the interrogation room and swore that they only took those things. They did not see the gun or anything else and only took less than 30,000 yuan.
After the two of them were interrogated separately and repeatedly confirmed, the police officers of Xianghe City had a rough idea of what was going on. The couple had kicked an iron plate this time. Xia Pingan, who had reported the case, wanted to teach them a lesson.
Xia Pingan's Optics Valley News Agency reporter card and Level 1 gun license had been verified by the police. They were real and there was no problem. Then, the rest could only be done according to the rules.
The two of them were caught red-handed. Therefore, no matter what Xia Pingan reported missing or how much money he lost, they had to bear all the responsibility.
The common tricks of people in society such as unreasonable family connections and who they knew were a joke in the face of the iron fist and real procedures of the country's violence agency.
"We understand that Mr. Xia should have worked in a car repair shop in Xianghe City before..." After a few people chatted, Liu Rui gently said from the side.
Xia Pingan smiled and nodded. His expression did not change. "Officer Liu is right. I did work in a car repair shop in Xianghe City before. I don't deny this. As for the relationship between my previous job and my current job, as well as the proof of the use of the gun and the source of income, Officer Liu, are you sure you want to know? If you really want to know, I can tell you!"
Looking at Xia Pingan's smile, Officer Liu felt a chill in his heart and quickly shook his head.
After being in this line for a long time, Officer Liu knew very well that it might not be a blessing to know too much. What he said just now was just an indirect way of reminding Xia Pingan to stop. The gun case was pressing on the Xianghe City Police Department's head. The higher-ups also had some headaches and did not want to make it big.
Qian Qing glanced at Liu Rui and smiled. "We respect your current job very much, Mr. Xia, but we will not interfere with the specific work content of Mr. Xia. Of course, we do not need our help. The problem now is that Mr. Xia's lost property and gun have not been found, but we have already captured and controlled the two suspects. There is a slight discrepancy between Mr. Xia's lost property and gun and their confessions, but I think it's not a big problem. It will probably only take a little time to find it. What do you think, Mr. Xia..."
"Yes, I also think that this matter is not a big problem. As long as we control the people, we can slowly find the other things!"
After having a tacit understanding with each other, Qian Lan and Liu Rui chatted with Xia Pingan for a while. Then, they went through the routine procedure and asked Xia Pingan to go to the police station to personally identify the suspects.
Their car was parked outside. Xia Pingan followed them out of the lobby and took a car to the Xianghe City Police Station.
...
In a room in the police station, through the one-way glass in the room, Xia Pingan once again saw the man and woman with the tattoos on his arms last night.
The scars on the man's face had not healed yet. His nose was collapsed, and his teeth were cracked. Several of his front teeth had fallen out, and his face was terrible.
Half of the woman's face was swollen, and her face was pale. Her eyebrows were lowered, and her eyes were sunken. The two of them were handcuffed and wearing prison uniforms. They were like weak chickens that had been fished out of a hot soup pot. They were escorted by several police officers to the identification room. They stood by the wall with high stripes and stood facing the one-way glass in a panic.
Xia Pingan did not sympathize with the two of them. His principle of doing things was to be better when he met good people and worse when he met evil.
Seeing that the two of them were not doing well, and that they would definitely not be doing well for a long time in the future, Xia Pingan was relieved and comforted.
He nodded to Qian Lan and Liu Rui beside him. "That's right, it's the two of them!"
