Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 712 Wen Xiaoyu is arrested!
Previously, using his Eagle Eye skill, Jia Dongming discovered that Wen Xiaoyu's house not only contained a large amount of money, but also seemed to contain several account books. Although he didn't know what was recorded in the account books, Jia Dongming was certain that the contents of these account books were related to the case they had cracked.

Looking at Gui Laoqi and Jiang He, who were handcuffed, Jia Dongming immediately instructed Chen Weiguo, "Captain Chen! You take your men and bring these two guys back to your branch. Then arrange for a surprise interrogation. I'll take the rest of the men and thoroughly search Wen Xiaoyu's house. I think we should be able to find some clues here."

Upon hearing the conversation between Jia Dongming and Chen Weiguo, Gui Laoqi immediately recalled the ledger that he had Wen Xiaoyu keep. Thinking of the contents of the ledger, Gui Laoqi's expression suddenly changed. He silently prayed in his heart that the police would not be able to find the ledger he had hidden in the secret compartment.

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's arrangement, Chen Weiguo immediately nodded and said to Jia Dongming, "Captain Jia! The remaining cleanup work is up to you. I'll take the people back first and immediately begin the surprise interrogation. We can discuss the rest when we meet."

After Jia Dongming and the others, including Gui Laoqi and Jiang He, were taken away by Chen Weiguo and his men, he immediately instructed Wang Bin and the others: "Leave one person here to guard the house. The rest of you come with me to search the house and see if we can find any valuable clues."

Just as Jia Dongming and others were conducting a thorough search of Wen Xiaoyu's house, Wen Xiaoyu walked into her yard from outside, carrying a net bag.

Upon seeing the strange man standing in the yard, Wen Xiaoyu immediately became wary and asked the police officer on guard, "Who are you? Why are you in my yard?"

While searching the house, Jia Dongming heard the noise outside and learned that Wen Xiaoyu had returned. He immediately came out of the house, and when he saw Wen Xiaoyu carrying a net, he said to her in a very serious tone, "Wen Xiaoyu! You're under arrest!"

"Clap!"

When Wen Xiaoyu saw the middle-aged man standing in the courtyard but did not see Gui Laoqi, an ominous feeling rose in her heart. It wasn't until she saw Jia Dongming coming out of the house and heard his words that the net bag in her hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

When the cold handcuffs were placed on Wen Xiaoyu's wrists, she finally came to her senses and immediately questioned Jia Dongming, "I didn't do anything, what right do you have to arrest me?"

Hearing Wen Xiaoyu's trembling question, Jia Dongming's face turned cold, and he sneered, "Why should we arrest you? Because you murdered your husband, because you were involved in the corruption within the grain station, because you harbored a murderer. Tell me, why should we arrest you?"

Upon hearing Jia Dongming mention the words "murdering her husband," Wen Xiaoyu's face changed drastically, and her legs began to tremble uncontrollably. To cover up her guilty conscience, Wen Xiaoyu forced herself to remain calm and retorted, "Officer! My husband died in a car accident. What does that have to do with me? How can you frame me and accuse me of murdering my husband?"

Seeing that Wen Xiaoyu was still trying to argue even after all this, Jia Dongming couldn't help but mock her, "Wen Xiaoyu! You should know very well whether we've wronged you or not. Putting aside the truth about your husband's car accident, just the fact that you harbored a murderer is enough to put you in jail for life, not to mention that you colluded with others at the grain station to resell the grain." Hearing Jia Dongming accuse her of harboring a murderer, Wen Xiaoyu was terrified. She believed that as long as she insisted she didn't know what Gui Laoqi was doing, even if the police wanted to convict her, they could only charge her with promiscuity. However, she hadn't expected the police to know about their grain reselling.

At this moment, Wen Xiaoyu was extremely flustered, but Gui Laoqi had once told her that if anyone came to her to ask about these things, she should deny it to the death. As long as there was no evidence, the police couldn't do anything to her. Remembering Gui Laoqi's instructions, Wen Xiaoyu pretended to be confused and said, "Officer! I was with Master Qi because he forced me to. If I didn't stay with him, he would have people deal with my family. I had no choice but to submit to him."

"As for what you just said about me colluding with others to resell grain, I'm just an accountant at the grain station. How could I possibly have the ability to transport the grain from the grain station to the black market for sale?"

Jia Dongming originally thought that dealing with a woman like Wen Xiaoyu would be a piece of cake. However, to his surprise, even though they had already gathered so much evidence, Wen Xiaoyu still dared to play dumb in front of him.

Faced with Wen Xiaoyu's explanation, Jia Dongming quickly seized on the loophole in Wen Xiaoyu's words and asked her with a smile, "Wen Xiaoyu! I only said that you were reselling grain, I didn't mention that you transported the grain to the black market to sell. Since you didn't participate in reselling grain, how do you know that the grain was transported to the black market to sell?"

When Wen Xiaoyu heard Jia Dongming's question, her heart skipped a beat. She quickly racked her brains for an excuse to cover it up. Just then, Wang Bin ran out of the house excitedly and reported to Jia Dongming, "Captain! We found a hidden compartment in the house with a large amount of money and seven thick ledgers."

Upon hearing Wang Bin's report and seeing the ledger in Wang Bin's hand, Jia Dongming immediately took one of the ledgers, opened it, and looked at the accounts recorded in it. He then smiled and asked Wen Xiaoyu, who was slumped on the ground, "Wen Xiaoyu! You are the accountant of the grain station. Now, can you tell me which account this ledger records? Where exactly are these accounts from?"

Wen Xiaoyu, who was still thinking of making excuses to cover up her lie, never expected that the police would find account books in her house. Faced with Jia Dongming's questioning and seeing the account books in Jia Dongming's hand, Wen Xiaoyu suddenly felt her legs go weak and collapsed to the ground.

Jia Dongming originally thought Wen Xiaoyu was a difficult person to deal with, but to his surprise, when Wen Xiaoyu saw the account book in his hand, she was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground.

Looking at Wen Xiaoyu's pale face, Jia Dongming immediately realized that this woman was a good breakthrough point. So he said to Wen Xiaoyu, "Wen Xiaoyu! Our police policy is to be lenient for those who confess and severe for those who resist. If you don't want to be shot along with Gui Laoqi, I advise you to cooperate with our work."
