Chapter 182 Diversion of sight
On the other side, Xie Yong’s office.
Zheng Guotang is reporting the progress of the interrogation to Xie Yong.
Zheng Guotang was a little frustrated: "Captain, we have been interrogating for a whole night, and apart from catching a few people who sold large quantities of goods, we didn't get any other clues!"
"Everyone was questioned carefully, and no one encountered any suspicious people or things on the road."
Hearing this, Xie Yong pondered, frowned, and said slowly: "Tell me, is it possible that one of them lied?"
Zhang Zhuangguo shook his head and retorted: "Captain, everyone has been interrogated twice. If they lied, we would definitely be able to tell."
"What's more, in their current mental state, they simply don't have the ability to hide the truth."
"Even if we didn't find out, didn't they deceive us?"
Listening to Zhang Zhuangguo's words, the two had to admit in their hearts that the person who could escape their scrutiny must have strong psychological qualities.
Since they didn't identify the suspect this time, they naturally couldn't find the target person to conduct a targeted interrogation.
"Okay, let's release this group of people in two days. We don't have that much time to waste here." Xie Yong sighed.
This time, police forces were seconded from other police stations, and our own police station has been working around the clock, so everyone is already very tired.
Zhang Zhuan Guo nodded, his face full of helplessness.
"Captain, we have investigated so many aspects, from people with great martial arts skills to vendettas to thieves. We have left almost no clues unturned."
"What else is left to check now?"
The only remaining possibility at the moment is that Tian Zhiwei was killed by the enemy's spy organization to silence him.
However, this view was ruled out by them from the outset.
Tian Zhiwei had never revealed his identity, so how could the enemy kill him for no reason?
"Could it be that Tian Zhiwei was really killed by themselves?" Xie Yong said to himself.
Zheng Guotang immediately responded: "Captain, did we overlook something? Tian Zhiwei must have hidden something important, and it was hidden very secretly, so we didn't find it."
"Otherwise it doesn't make sense why they would kill Tian Zhiwei."
Zheng Guotang also tacitly acknowledged that Tian Zhiwei was killed by his own family.
If Tian Zhiwei could come back to life, even for one second, he would definitely say: Family members, who understands!
Listening to Zheng Guotang's analysis, Xie Yong's eyes lit up. What he said made sense.
Xie Yong asked seriously, "Xiao Zheng, how well is Tian Zhiwei's house protected? Has anyone been inside?"
Zheng Guotang immediately said: "Captain, don't worry, since Tian Zhiwei's death, our people have been closely guarding this house to ensure that no one can enter."
"Even if a mouse wants to get in, we will find it in the first place."
"Good! You did a great job." Xie Yong nodded and praised.
"Now, take some people and equipment with you. I want to find what Tian Zhiwei has hidden. I will find it even if I have to dig deep into the ground."
"Yes!" Zheng Guotang responded loudly and immediately called people to go there.
"Captain, what about me?" Zhang Zhuangguo couldn't help himself.
"You..." Xie Yong looked at Zhang Zhuangguo, at a loss for a moment.
"Well, you stay at home and guard the police station. If anything happens, I will send someone to call you immediately."
Although he was a little disappointed, Zhang Zhuangguo still responded loudly: "Yes!"
Seeing this, Xie Yong also knew that Zhang Zhuangguo was eager to make a contribution, so he spoke to comfort him.
"Okay, we're all police officers, so it doesn't matter who helps. Besides, if a lot of people go, what will happen if there's really no one at home?"
"If someone calls the police, how can we solve the problem?"
"Don't worry, if there's really something wrong, I'll let you call me!"
"Yes!" After hearing this, Zhang Zhuangguo's sense of loss was slightly relieved.
"Okay, go out and make the arrangements. I'll go take a look right away too!" Xie Yong said.
Zheng Guotang had already gathered his men and was waiting for Xie Yong's orders.
"Let's go!" Xie Yong gave the order without any further ado.
Everyone quickly set off and arrived at Tian Zhiwei's house again.
Looking at the house, it is intact and still maintains the same appearance as before the incident.
"This Tian Zhiwei is hiding very well." Xie Yong looked at the house and said in a deep voice.
"Today, even if we have to dig three feet underground, we will find what Tian Zhiwei has hidden. Even if it is in a corner, we will dig it out."
He paused and continued, "Even if the house collapses, as long as we dig out the stuff, everyone will get a prize!"
"dig!"
Following Xie Yong's order, the police immediately dispersed and began to dig hard.
They took shovels, hammers and other tools, and regardless of the dust, they were determined to find what Tian Zhiwei had hidden.
After a morning of hard work, Tian Zhiwei's house was dug three feet deep and the walls on three sides were collapsed.
Just when everyone was feeling disappointed and frustrated, Zheng Guotang accidentally hit a hard object with his hoe.
He squatted down and gently wiped away the dust with his hand, and a rusty iron box gradually appeared.
Zheng Guotang's eyes lit up, he immediately stood up and shouted excitedly:
"Captain, there's something here!"
In an instant, everyone gathered.
"What have you found?" Xie Yong shouted as he rushed to Zheng Guotang's side.
Zheng Guotang carefully used a hoe to clear the bricks and tiles around the iron box, and then gently picked up the iron box.
"Captain, there is something in here, and it's not light!" Zheng Guotang felt the weight of the iron box.
"Quick, open it and take a look!" Xie Yong said.
"Oh, don't! Be careful of bombs!" Zheng Guotang reminded.
Hearing this, the police subconsciously moved away, but thinking of their duties, they immediately took a step forward.
Xie Yong analyzed: "Don't worry. We dug this thing out after digging deep into the ground. If it was really hidden by Tian Zhiwei, it must be his last resort. He couldn't have put a bomb in it."
Xie Yong guessed: If Tian Zhiwei wanted to start this iron box, then he must have encountered something big.
The iron box was hidden so deep that if something really happened, he would not have time to take it away himself, let alone put a bomb in it.
After listening to Xie Yong's analysis, Zheng Guotang's doubts were slightly alleviated.
"Captain, let me take care of this. It's better to be careful."
"Don't worry, I have experience in this matter. I will be responsible if anything goes wrong. All of you stay away."
After saying that, he snatched the iron box and shook it boldly.
There was a strange sound coming from the iron box. Xie Yong listened but couldn't tell what was inside.
Xie Yong carefully observed the iron box from top to bottom and left to right, and found that the entire box was welded tightly. Except for a hole for putting things in, there was nothing left.
"It seems that this thing can only be put in and not taken out!" Xie Yong muttered to himself, and then looked at Zheng Guotang on the side.
"Give me the hoe and I'll open it myself!"
Xie Yong put the iron box on the ground, swung the hoe and stabbed it hard.
"Puff!" A small hole was poked in the iron box.
Xie Yong did not stop and continued to swing the hoe. Soon, several small holes appeared on the iron box.
Then, Xie Yong used a hoe to pry the small hole continuously, and soon a big hole was pried out on the top of the iron box.
Xie Yong carefully turned the iron box over, and saw things falling out of the box one by one, making crisp sounds as they hit the ground.
When they looked down, they saw a dozen big black coins, a few small yellow croakers, a gun, and some supporting equipment.
And a property certificate.
Xie Yong picked up the property certificate and took a look at it, only to see that it contained information about a property.
He took a cursory look at the address and discovered that the property was nearly ten miles away from their current location.
Zheng Guotang looked at the information on the property certificate and said with certainty: "Captain, this should be Tian Zhiwei's safe house. There must be something he hid there!"
Xie Yong also felt the same way and ordered Zheng Guotang: "Xiao Zheng, take some people and go check out this property right away!"
"Yes! I guarantee to complete the task!" Zheng Guotang took the property certificate, waved his hand to signal others to follow him, and set off immediately.
After Zheng Guotang left, Xie Yong looked at the loaded pistol.
"This is a revolver, exactly the same as the last one!"
This gun is a Nagant M1895 revolver, the same model as the broken revolver.
Xie Yong took it out and looked at it carefully, then disassembled the barrel and found no crack at all.
Even the silencer is intact, so it's obviously a good gun.
Xie Yong murmured to himself: "It seems that the things in this iron box are Tian Zhiwei's last guarantee!"
Plan for defeat before planning for victory. This is the first thing the enemy spy did. Obviously, Tian Zhiwei was also prepared to be discovered.
Arrangements were also made in advance.
"Keep digging and see if there is anything left!" Xie Yong shouted.
"Yes!" the police shouted.
With Zheng Guotang's achievement, everyone was suddenly full of energy.
On the other side, the team led by Zheng Guotang quickly arrived at the address of the property certificate.
This property is located in a wealthy area, surrounded by luxury houses with their own courtyards. Security measures are tight, and those who live here are either wealthy or high-ranking businessmen.
The layout of single-family houses and courtyards allows residents here to enjoy a high degree of privacy without worrying about being disturbed by the outside world.
The hiding place chosen by Tian Zhiwei was obviously carefully selected. Even though he did not come here often, few people noticed anything unusual here.
Zheng Guotang held the property certificate and carefully checked the house number to make sure there was no mistake.
"This is it, go in and search!"
Zheng Guotang gave a decisive order and led the team to climb the courtyard wall and come to the door.
Zheng Guotang did not rush in hastily. "Be careful. Look around to see if there is a key hidden. Find the key first."
Zheng Guotang was worried that Tian Zhiwei had set a trap on his door.
"The key has been found, here it is!" A police officer found the key under the flower bed outside the door.
Zheng Guotang took the key and opened the door carefully.
The magnificent scene in the room comes into view, with luxurious sofas, coffee tables and other furniture available.
"Click!" The light was turned on, and the room became a little brighter.
Zheng Guo carefully observed the layout of the room and found a water cup on the table, obviously someone had lived here.
I touched the wooden table next to me and found a thin layer of dust. It was obvious that no one had been to this house for some time.
"It's safe, everyone spread out and search!" Zheng Guotang gave an order, and a group of police officers spread out to search.
Every room including the bedroom, kitchen, living room, bathroom, etc. was searched carefully.
"Captain, there is a clue here!"
Soon, news came from the bedroom that a clue had been found.
Zheng Guotang and a group of police officers rushed over immediately.
There was a dusty suitcase on the bed.
"Where did you find it?" Zheng Guotang asked.
The police officer pointed at the closet and said, "It's behind the closet. If you don't look carefully, you can hardly find it."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Guotang checked the closet and found that there was indeed a place where the colors of the suitcases in the closet were very similar.
It's easy to miss it if you don't search carefully.
"Clap!"
Zheng Guotang opened the suitcase, revealing what was hidden inside.
There is no need to talk about the big black ten, small yellow croaker, and firearms.
The most important thing is a document bag.
Zheng Guotang carefully took out the information from the file bag and read it carefully.
As he read deeper, Zheng Guotang's expression became more and more solemn, and sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Captain, what happened?"
The police officer nearby noticed something was wrong with Zheng Guotang and couldn't help but come over out of curiosity.
Zheng Guotang quickly closed the document and sternly scolded, "You have no idea what you should and shouldn't read!"
After hearing Zheng Guotang's scolding, the other police officers immediately realized the seriousness of the problem and that the content of the information might be very important.
Zheng Guotang didn't say anything more. He held the documents in his hand tightly and began to think quickly.
At this moment, there was a noise outside the door.
"Xiao Zheng, where are you?" It was Xie Yong's voice.
Xie Yong organized people to dig for a while, but found no clues, so they rushed over without stopping.
Zheng Guotang's eyes lit up, as if he saw the dawn of hope. He hurried out of the bedroom and responded loudly:
"Captain! We're here!"
When Xie Yong heard the sound, he looked up and found Zheng Guotang and others standing on the second floor.
He walked quickly to the center of the first floor and asked anxiously, "Xiao Zheng, do you have any clues?"
Zheng Guotang walked quickly to Xie Yong's side, took out a document from his hand and handed it to Xie Yong with a serious look, and said solemnly:
"Captain, look at this."
Xie Yong took the information and opened it to look at it carefully.
His expression instantly became as serious as Zheng Guotang's before.
"Besides you, who else has seen this information?" Xie Yong asked seriously.
No one has seen it except me, none of them!"
Zheng Guotang answered in a low voice, his voice revealing his awe and respect for the information.
Xie Yong nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
Xie Yong understood the sensitivity of the information and instructed Zheng Guotang:
"Xiao Zheng, continue to lead the search, search without reservation, and make sure no one can enter this house."
"I am going to take this information to the police station now. If anyone asks you about this information, just say you don't know."
"Yes!" Zheng Guotang saluted and responded, his voice firm and powerful.
After giving the order, Xie Yong quickly left the scene with the information and headed to the Public Security Bureau.
This information contains a detailed record of some people's living habits, including their daily activities, preferences, itineraries, etc.
To have such detailed information, it means either there is a spy hiding among them, or someone around them leaked the information.
Whatever the case, it is an extremely tricky matter.
The other is an assassination list. The number of people to be assassinated is not large, but they are all important figures.
Xie Yong was fully aware of the importance of this information and he did not dare to underestimate it in the slightest.
At the same time, Xie Yong was also very fortunate.
He didn't expect that just searching for the murderer of Tian Zhiwei would reveal such a large amount of information.
It doesn’t matter who the murderer is now. What matters is to protect those people first.
As for Li Kailang, he also escaped a disaster.
If these materials had not been discovered, Xie Yong would not be able to find the murderer and would have to start all over again and investigate step by step.
At that time, Li Kailang will still be under surveillance, and it will not be possible for him to hide himself easily.
But now, he can breathe a sigh of relief.
After Xie Yong left, Zheng Guotang called a group of police officers to continue searching the house.
