Chapter 269 Why does your family have so many cellars? (Please subscribe)

Zhu Lin took the money, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Go now? But what about here..."

Xu Ye gave a reassuring smile: "It's alright, the innocent will clear themselves. I'll feel at ease if you bring the dog back soon."

Zhu Lin nodded: "Okay, I'll go right away."

She quickly left the courtyard, got on her bicycle, and disappeared into the alleyway.

Seeing this, Zhang Tong frowned even more: "Comrade Xu Ye, you are quite calm."

Xu Ye took a sip of tea: "Captain Zhang, I haven't even done this, what's there to be nervous about?"

Zhang Tong was taken aback for a moment, then sneered, "Aren't you afraid of finding something, or are you hiding it so well that you're sure we won't find it?"

Xu Ye shrugged: "Think what you want. You've already formed a preconceived notion and haven't adjusted your mindset."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a gasp of surprise came from the backyard.

"Captain! We've found something!"

Zhang Tong quickly got up and headed straight there.

Xu Ye calmly sipped his tea, knowing that they had already found no stolen equipment.

There are two eagles in the sky now, which means that the brave eagle who delivered the message has returned.

They had just made a call to alert Xu Ye, and Xu Ye had already received it.

Presumably, they also saw that they were looking up at them.

After all, in terms of eyesight, the eagle's eyesight is far superior to Xu Ye's.

They can see even the slightest movement very clearly.

Five or six minutes later, Zhang Tong returned to Xu Ye's side.

Why do you have so many cellars in your house?

Hearing Zhang Tong's complaint, Xu Ye shrugged and said, "This was dug up before. I only know that it's under the side room."

"Captain Zhang, this isn't illegal, is it?" Xu Ye asked, flicking his cigarette ash.

He's not flustered at all right now.

Those who framed him would never have imagined that the item would be taken away by a hawk.

I just don't know where the eagle took the things.

What kind of equipment could a small device costing tens of thousands of dollars be?

Moreover, it is equipment that boiler manufacturers can use.

If someone loses something so valuable to frame someone else, then the person who framed them will definitely spend the rest of their life in jail.

At this point, the person in charge should be able to be identified, right?
With that in mind, Xu Ye began to formulate a plan.

If those people fail to frame someone once, they will definitely try again.

Just like back in Sanxi Brigade, they drugged Huang Sisi in the commune.

A dozen minutes later, some more officers arrived to help with the search.

Xu Ye ignored her, drinking tea and smoking as he waited for Zhu Lin to return.

As dusk fell, the lights came on in the courtyard.

Zhu Lin rushed back on her bicycle, a bamboo basket strapped to the back seat, from which came the whimpering of a small dog.

"Xu Ye, we're back!" Zhu Lin exclaimed excitedly.

At the same time, a girl walked in carrying a puppy.

"I brought back a puppy and a big dog that's a little over a year old. They both look very clever!"

Xu Ye quickly got up to greet her. He saw a young girl with braided pigtails following behind Zhu Lin, holding a small dog with shiny fur. It looked like it had Border Collie blood, but it was obviously a mixed breed.

At the same time, a white dog followed behind her, which also looked like it had Border Collie pedigree.

“This is my colleague Xiaofang,” Zhu Lin introduced. “She heard about your situation and specially brought her smartest dog, ‘Baihu,’ to lend to you for a while.”

Xiao Fang smiled shyly: "Baihu is really amazing. He even helped us catch a thief last time."

Xu Ye's eyes lit up, and he reached out to pat the white tiger's head.

The big dog gently rubbed against his palm, seemingly quite fond of Xu Ye.

"Huh, the black dog actually licked you?" Liu Fang looked at Xu Ye with a surprised expression.

Xu Ye smiled slightly and continued stroking the white tiger's head: "It seems we're destined to be together."

"This is the first time I've ever seen a white tiger so intimate with a stranger. How did you manage that?" Liu Fang sized up Xu Ye.

Could it be because Xu Ye is good-looking?

"It's probably because I smell like a hunting dog, after all, I haven't been back for long," Xu Ye explained.

"Is that so?" Liu Fang glanced at Xu Ye suspiciously.

She felt it was because Xu Ye was good-looking and had a kind face.

At the same time, the white tiger did not sense any malice.

"White Tiger, this is your temporary master, and this is your temporary home."

"I'll come to see you often." As she spoke, she patted the white tiger's head.

"Woof." The white tiger seemed to understand Liu Fang's words and couldn't help but bark.

"White Tiger is so well-behaved and so smart," Liu Fang said happily.

Zhu Lin handed the puppy in her arms to Xu Ye. It was over a month old and weighed more than four pounds.

It's clear that it's being well cared for and doesn't lack food.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have grown this big.

"Have you named it yet?" Xu Ye asked casually.

This is a female dog, and she does look very clever, with very bright and lively eyes.

"Not yet, waiting for your new owner to come and collect it," Liu Fang said with a smile.

Xu Ye gently stroked the puppy's soft fur, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's name it 'Ping An' (Peace). I hope that with it, this family will be peaceful and safe."

The village's hunting dogs would definitely not be brought here again, so Xu Ye named the puppy Ping An (Peace).

"Little Ping An, you must grow up quickly." As she spoke, Zhu Lin couldn't help but rub its head.

"Then I'll head back now. There's a dog waiting for me outside." With that, Liu Fang prepared to leave.

"Fangfang, let me walk you to the door." Zhu Lin knew that Xu Ye's freedom was currently restricted and he could not move around freely.

Zhu Lin returned shortly afterward.

"Here's your money back. Fangfang doesn't want it. She came here just to see if you're a good match. If you're not, she'll only lend you money for a short period."

Xu Ye hadn't expected this outcome, so he said, "Okay, then I'll take good care of her white tiger."

"Haven't they finished searching yet?" Zhu Lin asked, looking at the people inside.

"Okay, let them search all they want," Xu Ye said calmly.

"Xu Ye, why are the police here?" Wang Huiyu had just returned to the courtyard and saw Xu Tong in the yard, and immediately became nervous.

"They're here to investigate something, it has nothing to do with my uncle and his family," Xu Ye explained.

Upon hearing that it had nothing to do with Xu Meng and his group, Wang Huiyu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought that Xu Meng had falsely accused her of being an accomplice in order to avoid divorcing her, and had the police arrest her.

“Sit down and have some tea, they’ll be searching for a while longer,” Xu Ye said to Wang Huiyu.

Wang Huiyu nodded and sat down.

Xu Ye was holding Ping An and scratching its itch, trying to bond with it. Wang Huiyu, seeing this, was curious about where Xu Ye got the dog, but didn't ask any further questions.

Half an hour later, everyone came out.

Because they had searched the entire area and found nothing.

“Xu Ye, although we didn’t find anything, you still need to come back with us and cooperate with our investigation,” Zhang Tong said to Xu Ye.

“Okay, I can cooperate.” Xu Ye handed Ping An over to Zhu Lin without hesitation.

"Sister Lin, please take care of Ping An. I'll be back as soon as I finish cooperating with the investigation."

"Maybe I won't be back until tomorrow." After saying that, he glanced at Zhang Tong.

"It won't take that long, I can be back in an hour or two."

"Of course, that's assuming there are no problems," Zhang Tong added.

There is no evidence to prove that Xu Ye committed theft, so Xu Ye will definitely be released.

Those people's wishful thinking has definitely failed today.

Nowadays, with dogs being kept in the courtyard houses, it's difficult to get rid of them.

"You must handle this case impartially, or I will sue you," Zhu Lin warned.

Then, she and Wang Huiyu escorted Xu Ye to the door and watched him get into the car and leave.

As soon as the car drove away, the neighbors who had been watching outside gathered around.

"Huiyu, what's going on? Why did the police take Xu Ye away?"

"He didn't actually steal something, did he? I heard it was worth over ten thousand."

Zhu Lin quickly interjected, "Those are all false accusations. Those people came but didn't find anything. Xu Ye is just going back to cooperate with the investigation and will be back in a few hours."

Hearing Zhu Lin say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Nobody wants their neighbor to be a thief.

When Xu Ye arrived at the police station in his car, he found that Lin Hang and Li Huaizhong were also there.

"Xu Ye, how are you?" Lin Hang rushed to Xu Ye's side immediately and asked with concern.

"It's nothing, they didn't find anything in my house. What brings you here?" Xu Ye asked casually.

“We’re here to cooperate with the investigation, and Director Li will testify for you,” Lin Hang explained.

"Thank you very much, Director Li," Xu Ye said with gratitude.

“This is what I should do. You’ve never even seen that device, how could you have stolen it?”

"This is clearly a frame-up, and our factory will never allow such a thing to happen."

"Xu Ye, don't worry. The factory manager takes this matter very seriously and has already instructed the security department to investigate. We must find the mastermind behind this."

"Tell me, who have you offended? Maybe we can start from that point."

Just as Xu Ye was about to speak, someone came up and said, "Xu Ye, please cooperate with our work and go over there to answer some questions."

Xu Ye knew they were going to take a statement.

Xu Ye was taken to an interrogation room, which was dimly lit and had a tense atmosphere.

Zhang Tong and another officer sat opposite him, with a blank notebook spread out in front of them.

Zhang Tong spoke first, his tone less suspicious than before, but still scrutinizing: "Xu Ye, you must answer the following questions truthfully. Think carefully, have you had any conflicts or unusual contact with anyone recently?"

Xu Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, his mind quickly recalling the past.

He recalled that not long ago at the factory, he almost got into a fight with someone, but nothing came of it.

He told Zhang Tong the truth about the matter. After listening, Zhang Tong exchanged a glance with the officer next to him and quickly made a note of it.

As for Huang Haoming and the like, Xu Ye felt there was nothing to say.

He currently has no evidence that they were responsible, and he doesn't want them to know that he suspects them.

Therefore, Xu Ye didn't mention Huang Haoming or anything like that.

Only in this way can we lull the enemy into a false sense of security.

Make them feel like they're always in the shadows, and they'll continue to take action.

Xu Ye was questioned for more than an hour before he came out of the interrogation room.

After coming out, Xu Ye saw Lin Hang.

He quickly came to Xu Ye's side and asked with concern, "How are you? Are you alright?"

Xu Ye patted Lin Hang on the shoulder, a relaxed smile on his face. "It's alright, everything's been clarified. Let's go back."

"Great, it's finally done." Lin Hang breathed a sigh of relief, a relaxed expression on his face.

"Where is Director Li?" Xu Ye asked, not seeing Li Huaizhong.

"Director Li went back to the factory, saying he wanted to supervise the security department to conduct a thorough investigation," Lin Hang explained.

Xu Ye felt that this matter would eventually come to nothing.

There were no security cameras at the time, so we don't know who stole the items.

"Let's go back first." With that, Xu Ye handed Lin Hang a cigarette.

The two of them rode Lin Hang's bicycle and then went home.

Lin Hang told Xu Ye to ride to Xu Ye's house first, and then he would ride back himself.

When they arrived at Xu Ye's house, Zhu Lin and Wang Huiyu were both at the door.

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Xu Ye return.

"How is it? Has the matter been resolved?" Zhu Lin asked with a worried expression.

"Well, they couldn't find any evidence to prove that I stole it, so they had to let me go."

"However, I haven't completely cleared myself of suspicion yet. I need to find the person who made the report first," Xu Ye explained.

"What kind of person is this? How could they frame an innocent person like this?" Zhu Lin stomped her feet in anger.

She couldn't understand how Xu Ye, such a good person, could be falsely accused.

"Sister Lin, don't be angry. You'll ruin your health if you get angry."

"You weren't feeling well today, and you've been delayed for so long because of me. Don't stand there, go back and rest."

Hearing Xu Ye's caring words, Zhu Lin felt a warmth in her heart.

She was only able to film properly today thanks to the ointment Xu Ye gave her; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to do so.

"Xu Ye, where did you get that bottle of ointment? Do you know what it was originally called?" Zhu Lin asked expectantly.

If we know the name of the medicine and where it comes from, we can purchase it in large quantities.

Because this ointment can help people like her, relieving everyone's pain.

"I really don't know that. An old hunter gave it to me; it's a medicated ointment he made himself," Xu Ye said casually.

He certainly wouldn't explain the ointment the system gave him clearly.

"Can you contact that old hunter? This ointment is amazing; it can help millions of people." Zhu Lin still has the heart of a healer, after all, she was taught by her mother.

"Then there's no way to contact them anymore; that hunter is no longer here," Xu Ye said with a regretful expression.

"Then... can I take it back to the office and have my colleagues analyze it?"

"If we could replicate this medicine, it could benefit countless people," Zhu Lin said, looking at Xu Ye with anticipation.

Although she has started filming again, she hasn't given up her original job.
