Chapter 242: A Big Case Solved
Chapter 242: A Big Case Solved
An hour later, Balwyn.
"Don't fool me. If I find out that you are seeking revenge, I will not forgive you!" Earlier, not far from the villa that Chen Xi had investigated, a Chinese policeman was sitting in a car with a serious face.
"Don't worry, Brother Peng!" Chen Xi patted his chest and assured them. They had chatted for a while before. The Chinese policeman's name was Peng Yue. He was an old policeman in charge of this area. Many Chinese people sought his help when they got into trouble.
Although he has started working as a civilian now, his words still carry weight in the police station.
There were not many policemen who came this time, and they only had two cars, because the situation had not been confirmed yet. These people only came for Peng Yue's sake. You have to know that there are not many people in a police station in Australia.
The man in the hoodie is still in the police station. Peng Yue asked people to continue questioning him and wait for new clues to be found before they work together to investigate the case.
"You guys stay in the car, you lead the way."
"Ah."
Peng Yue pointed at Chen Xi, while Dong Dong and Xiao Ming could only sit in the police car and watch helplessly. There was also a female police officer accompanying them.
It was almost three in the morning, and all the residents in the area had gone to bed. However, the light was still on in the house that Chen Xi had explored earlier.
"Ding Dong!" Peng Yue walked directly to the door and rang the doorbell. According to Australian law, he could not break in without applying for permission. The two policemen who came with him went around to the backyard.
Just as Chen Xi expected, the door was not opened for a long time, so there must be something going on inside.
"Buzz~" There was a sound of heavy objects being dragged in the house, which was very similar to what he heard when he came here before.
"Who?" A man's voice sounded from inside the door.
"Police, please open the door."
After Peng Yue spoke, it took nearly half a minute for the door to be opened.
"What's the matter?" A young man in a T-shirt and shorts stood at the door, holding it with one hand, as if he didn't want people to see what was going on inside.
"We..." Peng Yue looked at the man in front of him and was about to speak when he heard a noise coming from the backyard.
"Get down!" A police warning came from the backyard, followed by the sound of fighting.
"Damn it!" the man at the door cursed. Just as he was about to close the door, Peng Yue forcefully pushed it open.
After entering, the environment inside the house can only be described as dirty, messy and poor. The floor is full of leftover lunch boxes and pizza boxes. The carpet is also pitch black with several cigarette butts stuck on it.
"what's the situation?"
"These guys seem to have smoked marijuana."
After a while, the police in the backyard brought the two men over and found some bags of marijuana on them.
"You have quite a complete range of things here. Put on your clothes!" Peng Yue said as he looked at the bottles and cans on the coffee table in the living room. There were not only cigarettes but also hookah utensils. There was also a disheveled woman lying on the sofa.
"Woo~" The woman twisted her body while lying on the sofa, and it was obvious that she was a little confused.
"There is no such thing as you said!" After searching the room, Peng Yue pulled Chen Xi into the bathroom and asked.
"Wait a minute." Thinking of the strange noises he had heard twice before, Chen Xi already had a guess in his mind. He paced back and forth in the room, observing the furniture around him.
"What are you doing!"
"Stand still!"
When Chen Xi tried to move the bookshelf and other objects, the man who had just opened the door immediately stopped him. However, Peng Yue pressed him against the wall without hesitation.
It seems that my guess was correct, this guy reacted so strongly.
Seeing the man's intense performance, Chen Xi simply moved the bookshelf in front of him away, and then knocked on the wall a few times.
There's nothing!
He felt a little strange and checked everything on the bookshelf, but found nothing.
Just when he was at a loss, he turned his eyes to the coffee table and shook his head. There were so many glass bottles on the coffee table. If it had been moved like that just now, they would have fallen and broken. Now they were still standing there steadily. This must not be it.
"Hmm?" Soon, he turned his attention to the dining table next to him. Under the table was a wrinkled carpet, as if it had not been laid properly.
Who puts a rug under a dining table? And it's not the right size.
With a glimmer of hope, he began to push the table away. The man who was pressed against the wall by Peng Yue reacted more and more. Peng Yue also sensed something and immediately took out the silver bracelet and put it on the guy.
"There's a secret door. It looks like a basement."
After the carpet was lifted, a door was revealed under the wooden floor. Chen Xi grinned at Peng Yue, who immediately became excited.
Several policemen excitedly began to open the door. There was a small ladder leading directly down. The basement was brightly lit, and rows of shelves were stacked with various contraband.
Not only are there smuggled cigarettes, but there are also a lot of pills.
"Call someone, call someone!" Peng Yue rubbed his hands happily and asked his colleagues to start calling people. His good days were finally coming.
He hadn't solved any major cases in several years, and every day he dealt with refugee cases. Those refugees always caused damage when they came to Australia, but because these people were extremely poor, most of the cases were small thefts, and the police were most reluctant to deal with these cases, which were difficult to solve and had no results.
"You mean the people here are related to the drug case in Balywn last time?"
"Well, the place where the accident happened last time was the mansion next door."
"Got it. I'll ask the police from Balywn to come and assist you later."
"How many years will he be sentenced to?"
"It's hard to say. It's different here than in China. It's up to the judge to decide. Those gangs all have powerful lawyers..."
"understood."
"Thanks to you this time! Call me if you have any problems next time."
"Help each other, hehe."
The two exchanged phone numbers, and Chen Xi handed Peng Yue a cigarette, but the other party waved his hand to indicate that he would not accept it.
After a while, the police from Balywn rushed over, sealed the house, and started moving things.
In the dark night, the lights of the police cars were particularly conspicuous on this street.
The residents who had been awakened by the noise began to peek at the situation outside from their homes.
"How's it going? Has the person been caught?"
"Yeah. Go home and sleep! I'm so sleepy."
Chen Xi returned to his car and asked Dong Dong to drive back. He was so sleepy now, and it was almost morning.
"Ha, you were got out by the lawyer last time, and now you're here again." In the Balywn Police Station, the policeman who handled the case last time smiled and picked up the coffee in his hand and looked at Andy in front of him.
"I didn't do anything. I just came to my friend's house to play." Andy answered expressionlessly.
"It's okay. We have plenty of time. Let's chat slowly." Peng Yue sat on the chair and shouted to him in Chinese.
In another police station, the hoodie man was still waiting for Andy to rescue him, but he didn't expect that his boss was already being interrogated by the police.
"Let's go out and get something to eat?" The three of them slept until the next afternoon. Chen Xi rubbed his eyes and walked out of the room. Dong Dong had just woken up.
Xiao Ming has already gone to the company. He is now very hardworking and wants to protect the things his uncle left him.
"Hey."
"Didn't you say you would help me ask a girl out? Why haven't you responded yet?"
The cell phone rang. As soon as Chen Xi answered it, he heard Sun Cheng's dissatisfied voice on the other end of the line.
"Oh, I'm busy these days! Let's talk about it another day."
"Some other day? Others will have boyfriends some other day. No, today."
"I just got up!"
"Then we can have dinner together, that's it. I'll wait for your call, I'll bring you cigarettes, and dinner is on my table."
Thinking that this guy would marry the other person in the future, Chen Xi had no choice but to agree.
After all, he didn't want his friend to miss out on a good marriage.
"Hey, Xiuxiu! Come out for dinner when you have time."
"How do you know my name? Who are you?"
"Forehead……"
Chen Xi took out the note from his pocket and called the other party. The girl's puzzled voice came from the other end. He quickly found an excuse to fool her. He had just woken up and his brain hadn't reacted yet. The two of them were not familiar with each other yet.
Fortunately, the girl didn't take it too seriously. It was almost time for dinner, so she readily agreed.
After sending the message to Sun Cheng, there was a reply within a few seconds. The dinner location was in Kew, which was not far to drive.
"We've only known each other for a short time, and you're already introducing someone to a girlfriend. We've been together for many years, but I've never seen you help me pick up girls."
"That's a good chance for them. You and Zhang Ruoxi are probably good enough..."
On the way, Dongdong kept complaining. Chen Xi didn't want to discourage him, so he could only remind him that it would most likely not work.
The place Sun Cheng chose was a restaurant. Kew is a wealthy area and there are many high-end Western restaurants here that are doing good business.
"How is it, has anyone arrived?" Chen Xi had just parked the car when Sun Cheng, who was standing at the door, asked anxiously, and put a cigarette in his hand. Chen Xi looked down and saw a golden leaf.
