As night fell, Sun Zhongwen began to recount his story to the police officers.

It turns out that Sun Zhongwen was just a small-time tomb raider back then, but one day Gong Gushan and others found him and asked him to do something for them.

One rainy night in August, they drove to Zeng Guowei's residential area and picked him up.

As soon as Zeng Guowei got into the car, Gong Gushan and others grabbed him by the neck from behind.

After that, they drove to the vicinity of the Miryang Police Station. Gong Gushan got out of the car, and someone lowered a rope down from a nearby building.

Gong Gushan tied a bunch of keys to a rope and had the man hoist them up.

After some time, they arrived at the police station. The people hiding inside had finished committing the crime and were driving a van out of the station, which was loaded with stolen goods.

They were preparing to receive the filth and leave.

Unfortunately, the police station janitor happened to walk by at that moment, and they used a sedative to knock the man unconscious and take him away.

After some time, they dumped the drugged person by a ditch somewhere in the city.

After hearing Sun Zhongwen's words, Su Ning pressed him for answers, "Sun Zhongwen, how did you handle the aftermath?"

"Shortly afterward, we drove to the outskirts and handed the filth over to a man sitting in a jeep. Zeng Guowei, who was still lying in the car, was dealt with by Gong Gushan alone. I don't know the specifics of how he handled it, because Gong Gushan kicked me out of the car halfway there. After that, I knew nothing."

However, after listening to Sun Zhongwen's confession, Su Ning had many doubts. He knew that Sun Zhongwen must still be hiding something.

Therefore, he launched another attack, conducting a surprise interrogation of Sun Zhongwen.

Su Ning suddenly produced several photos. "Sun Zhongwen, do you see these? How tragic is your fate? If you don't tell us the truth, one day you will also be persecuted by the mastermind behind it all and suffer a tragic end."

Upon seeing the scene in the photo, Sun Zhongwen could no longer control himself and finally confessed the whole truth to Suning.

"I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything."

"Actually, Gong Gushan intended to kill me as well. He drove me and Zeng Guowei, who had already died, to a cemetery in the suburbs. Then he instructed me to carry Zeng Guowei's body into the cave. Then he suddenly planted explosives in front of the entrance of the cemetery, intending to bury me and Zeng Guowei's bodies alive together."

Just then, in my despair, I accidentally discovered a light above my head, so I followed the light and escaped from the tomb.

From then on, I lived in anonymity for over a decade, constantly evading Gong Gushan's pursuit.

"So, Zeng Guowei's body is still in that cave?"

Yes! It's definitely still there.

Captain Qin and the others were deeply saddened upon learning of Zeng Guowei's death.

They struggled to suppress their grief and began searching for Zeng Guowei's remains in the mountains, following Sun Zhongwen's instructions.

Finally, they found Zeng Guowei's remains buried in a mountain forest.

With heavy hearts, they collected Zeng Guowei's remains and carried them out of the mountain.

……

When Zeng Nan arrived at the police station and learned of Zeng Guowei's death, she was devastated and burst into tears in Director Liang's arms.

The police officers then discussed the case in the office.

Just then, Director Liang led Director Meng from the Provincial Department to the group.

Director Meng encouraged the police team to seize the time and do their utmost to solve the case.

Police posted Gong Gushan's photo online and issued an arrest warrant for him.

This sensational case, which has lasted for more than a decade, is finally nearing its end.

In Qi Shumin's stronghold, a subordinate came to find Qi Shumin. "Brother, Gong Gushan is now wanted by the authorities. In addition, Qi Yuanmin also sent a message, instructing us to move as soon as possible."

"No rush! We can't lose everything." But at this moment, Qi Shumin was thinking about the batch of cultural relics in the warehouse. He didn't want to lose the goods because of the relocation.

"Big brother..."

"Stop talking! Quickly gather people and secretly move the remaining cultural relics away."

"clear."

Suning suddenly received a message from Jiang Dijia.

In the message, Jiang Dijia told Su Ning that her mother did not approve of her relationship with Su Ning.

She is now in despair and plans to end her life in China and immigrate to Europe.

Su Ning knew these were just excuses; Jiang Dijia simply didn't want to be his lover and deliberately brought her mother into the picture to end this ill-fated relationship.

However, Suning did not go looking for Jiang Dijia, feeling that some things cannot be forced.

But when he thought about how he and Jiang Dijia had been so passionate and devoted to each other not long ago, he still felt a deep sense of admiration for some women.

……

Then Su Ning went to Sheng Tang KTV to find Tang Shouyu. "Tang Shouyu, how's the matter I asked you to find someone a few days ago?"

"Oh dear! Jian Fan, I've been so busy these past few days that I completely forgot."

As a result, the carefree Tang Shouyu was only concerned with eating, drinking and having fun with his brothers, and for several days he completely forgot about the matter entrusted to him by Suning.

"Tang Shouyu, you're really something." Su Ning couldn't help but get angry.

"Hehe, I'll go out and ask around for you right away."

"Never mind! You guys help me identify the photo first."

"it is good."

Then Suning took out a stack of photos and showed them to everyone. This was a helpless move on Suning's part, since he had entrusted the wrong person.

At this moment, one of Tang Shouyu's brothers suddenly realized, "Hey! I think I've seen this person before!"

"where?"

"The person in the photo looks exactly like someone I met at a dumpling shop."

"Oh?"

Su Ning looked at the person Tang Shouyu's men recognized, and it turned out to be Li Sanzhu, whom they had been searching for.

After receiving this news, Su Ning and Liang Wuyun immediately went to investigate the vicinity of the dumpling shop, but they did not obtain any valuable clues.

"Captain Qin, I suspect that Qi Shumin and his gang's hideout is in the Pengxi District. The police should start a search there."

What is the basis for your judgment?

"Captain Qin, actually, all of this was told to me by President Li. Because President Li has been searching for clues related to the case from back then for more than ten years, he already knows a lot of valuable information."

"Oh? You trust Mr. Li that much?"

"Captain Qin, I feel that President Li has always lived in the shadow of the mastermind behind the scenes, and he has always wanted to get rid of the mastermind's control."

"Jian Fan, do you have someone you suspect is the mastermind behind this?"

"Yes! If I'm not mistaken, that person should be Mr. Li's wife, Tang Lianqing."

"..."

……

At this time, Director Meng of the Provincial Public Security Department came to the police station, hoping that the police could give him a case report in person.

So Captain Qin entrusted this important task to Su Ning.

At the case briefing, Su Ning spoke eloquently, reporting everything he knew to Director Meng.

At the end of his report, he also strongly argued that Qi Shumin's hideout was most likely in Pengxi District, and that the police should concentrate all their forces to search that area.

Director Meng, Director Liang, and others immediately convened a high-level meeting.

At this meeting, Director Meng and others decided that they would establish a special task force to arrest Gong Gushan.

This brigade can move around at any time, rushing to wherever Gong Gushan is spotted until he is captured.

In addition, they will also conduct stakeouts at the homes of Gong Gushan's relatives and friends.

As soon as Gong Gushan is spotted, he will be captured immediately.

……

The police quickly launched an investigation into Pengxi District based on Suning's assessment.

They first went to a craft factory there, which was the hiding place of Qi Shumin and his gang.

When the police officers knocked on the door of the craft factory, an old man came out. His name was Qi Jianguo, and he was the gatekeeper of the craft factory.

Qi Jianguo felt a little nervous when he saw the police arrive, but he still pretended to be nonchalant on the surface.

He approached the police and tried to appear calm as he spoke.

At this moment, Qi Shumin and others were inside the arts and crafts factory when they heard the noise outside.

Alert, they all drew their guns and stood by the window, on high alert.

Outside the craft factory, the police officers continued to question Qi Jianguo, but they didn't find anything unusual and then left.

A Yuan and his friends went to a small shop and took out a stack of photos, asking the shop owner to identify the suspects in them.

As it happened, the shop owner immediately recognized Li Sanzhu in the photo. "I've seen him before! He just bought some wine from me."

Which direction did they go?

"To the left! They just walked out a short while ago."

Upon hearing these words, A Yuan and the others immediately became alert.

They immediately ran outside the convenience store and began their pursuit of Li Sanzhu.

Soon, they spotted Li Sanzhu on the street and arrested him.

Li Sanzhu was so frightened that he immediately ran away and eventually managed to escape the police's sight.

Upon receiving the message from A Yuan, Su Ning and the others rushed to his side.

"What about people?"

"Lost."

"Hold!"

At this moment, Chen Shiquan suddenly thought of a very unusual piece of information, "Jian Fan, when we were checking a craft factory just now, we always felt that the old gatekeeper was very suspicious, because his behavior was somewhat unusual."

Upon hearing this, and considering the information he had gathered earlier, Su Ning said, "Then it must be true! Aren't handicrafts and antiques very similar? I guess Qi Shumin and the others must be hiding in the handicraft factory."

"Then what are we waiting for? Arrest them!"

The police officers immediately gathered their forces and rushed towards the craft factory.

To be honest, these police officers are all oddballs. Logically speaking, the craft factory should be a key target for investigation, but they just asked a few perfunctory questions and that was it.

The police officers then arrived at the craft factory. By this time, Qi Shumin and the others had already received word and had evacuated in advance.

The police arrested Qi Jianguo, who was still in the factory at the time.

After that, they began searching the craft factory.

Finally, with Qi Jianguo's explanation, they successfully found the location of the antique collection next to an abandoned iron gate.

At this point, they had recovered all the stolen goods in one fell swoop.

Inside the prison, the officers interrogated Zheng Bensheng again.

They launched a powerful psychological offensive against Zheng Bensheng, intending to get him to confess to all his crimes.

Unable to resist in the end, Zheng Bensheng had no choice but to confess to the police officers.

……

At this moment, Tang Lianqing rushed to President Li's company in a panic. "Li Wei, find a way to return the money that Tang Shouyu received from Qi Yuanmin as soon as possible. I'm worried that if we don't return this money, Sheng Tang Nightclub will be entangled with Qi Yuanmin in some unclear way, which will affect the normal operation of Sheng Tang Nightclub."

"Isn't it too late to think about these things now?"

"Who knew the police would act so quickly this time?"

"Hmph! Taking chances is not a good idea."

"Why are you talking so much nonsense! Hurry up and figure out a solution."

"Okay! I understand, I'll contact Qi Yuanmin right away."

Meanwhile, the police also brought back Gong Gushan, who had fled to another place, but they did not get any valuable information from him.

Captain Qin and the others discussed the matter, as the current situation puzzled them.

Logically, after Gong Gushan was captured, Qi Yuanmin and the others should have realized the danger they were in and should have immediately tried to escape.

But in reality, Qi Yuanmin and his accomplices did not flee immediately, but stayed behind to continue committing crimes.

The police officers were unaware that Gong Gushan was actually a staunch confidant of the Qi brothers.

Gong Gushan was always very loyal to the Qi brothers. Even if he were to be captured, he would never reveal any information related to the Qi brothers.

Therefore, Qi Yuanmin and his accomplices felt safe to stay and continue committing crimes.

As expected, after arresting Gong Gushan, the police did not obtain any valuable information from him. This situation brought the police investigation to a standstill for a time.

At this moment, Su Han began to analyze.

"Captain Qin, the key to solving this case lies in the antiques. However, dealing in antiques requires a lot of money. If we can thoroughly investigate Qi Yuanmin's antique shop, we can easily find loopholes in the accounts and discover clues related to Qi Yuanmin and his associates' crimes."

"Okay! Let's start our investigation from this point. Now it's a race against time between us and the criminals."

"clear."

When the police were about to search Qi Yuanmin's antique shop, Su Ning and his group arrived at the detention center instead.

Moreover, Captain Qin took Su Ning to the room where Gong Gushan was being held.

“Jian Fan, ever since we captured Gong Gushan, he hasn’t said a word, which is giving us a real headache.”

"In addition, the higher-ups specifically instructed that obtaining a confession from Gong Gushan is not an easy task, and we should look for a breakthrough in the case from other places."

"Then it seems we'll have to resort to unconventional tactics to win."

"Have you come up with an idea?"

"It's not ready yet! Let me think about it some more."

The police conducted an accounting check on Qi Yuanmin's antique shop.

This situation made Qi Yuanmin a little nervous. He called Tang Lianqing and discussed countermeasures with her.

However, Tang Lianqing remained very calm. "Qi Yuanmin, don't worry! You just need to deal with it normally. The police will definitely not be able to find any valuable clues from it. What happened back then is simply impossible to verify."

Then Qi Yuanmin called President Li, "President Li, I've run into some trouble. Could you lend me a hand?"

"Then let's meet up."

"Okay! Where is the location?"

Police deployed multiple teams around Qi Yuanmin's antique shop to monitor his movements at all times.

However, the cunning Qi Yuanmin arranged for a double to wear his clothes and travel by car.

A-Yuan, who was standing at the door, thought that the person was really Qi Yuanmin, so he immediately chased after him from behind.

To his surprise, when he caught up with the car, he realized he had been tricked.

Seeing that A Yuan at the door had been transferred, Qi Yuanmin took the opportunity to leave the antique shop in another car.

Then he went to the outskirts of the city to meet with President Li.

Mr. Li arrived in the suburbs and came to Qi Yuanmin's car. He stepped forward to start a conversation with Qi Yuanmin.

Just then, an unexpected situation occurred.

At this moment, Qi Yuanmin had already been murdered. As soon as President Li opened the car door, Qi Yuanmin's body rolled off the car.

When General Manager Li saw Qi Yuanmin lying in a pool of blood, he became frightened.

Fearing that others would mistake him for a murderer, he quickly grabbed his belongings and left.

……

At the police station, the officers held a case analysis meeting.

At the meeting, everyone focused their attention on General Manager Li, because the police found General Manager Li's fingerprints at the location where Qi Yuanmin died.

However, Su Ning then expressed a different opinion: "Something is strange! President Li has always been a meticulous person. If he really is a murderer, he would not have left such obvious traces at the crime scene."

"So what exactly do you suspect?"

"Framed!"

"Oh? You suspect Tang Lianqing again?"

“That’s right! It must be our police’s relentless pressure that scared Tang Lianqing, so she pushed President Li out as her scapegoat.”

"Evidence! We police officers rely on evidence when handling cases."

Then Su Ning and the others questioned Zeng Nan, "Zeng Nan, what exactly is the relationship between Tang Lianqing and Qi Yuanmin? Did they ever have a secret relationship?"

"I had indeed heard that Tang Lianqing and Qi Yuanmin had an improper relationship, but I only heard about it and never saw them together."

"We now suspect that Tang Lianqing deliberately murdered Qi Yuanmin and then framed her husband, Li Wei."

"That's certainly possible! But do you have any evidence?"

"I'm afraid the investigation will go in the wrong direction! Evidence will come sooner or later, after all, they're already panicking."

Police discovered a suspicious vehicle in surveillance footage that had been seen at the scene of Qi Yuanmin's murder.

The police then searched the vehicle in the city and further pinpointed the suspects' location, where they were sleeping in a hotel.

The police then went to the hotel and began searching it.

They quickly apprehended the suspect and brought him back to the police station.

Back at the police station, the group discovered that the person they had arrested was actually a hitman hired online by the mastermind behind the case.

In this way, even if he arrests the group of people in front of him, the real culprit will be hard to find.

As a result, the police had to find a new entry point to solve the case.

……

Qi Shumin soon learned of Qi Yuanmin's death and was deeply saddened.

Qi Shumin regarded Boss Li as the killer who killed his brother and vowed to kill Boss Li with his own hands in the future to avenge his brother.

Qi Shumin and the others discussed ways to avenge Qi Yuanmin, knowing that Tang Shouyu was not protected by bodyguards at the moment.

So they arrested Tang Shouyu and interrogated him about the whereabouts of General Manager Li.

Unable to withstand the torture, Tang Shouyu quickly revealed to Qi Shumin the location of a valuable antique collection belonging to General Manager Li, hoping to save his own life in return.

Qi Shumin and his men took Tang Shouyu to one of General Manager Li's villas. They quickly entered and looted the villa, taking all the cultural relics with them.

Then Qi Shumin and others sent a message to the police, saying that they had tied up Tang Shouyu as a hostage and that if the police wanted to exchange him, they would have to pay a high ransom.

Immediately afterwards, Qi Shumin and others sent a message to the police, stating that the police must provide them with another vehicle, otherwise they would harm the hostages.

In addition, they proposed a condition that the police send another officer to replace Tang Shouyu as their hostage.

By this time, the police had already surrounded Qi Shumin and others on the road.

Su Ning arrived alone in front of Qi Shumin and the others, without any weapons on him. He intended to take Tang Shouyu hostage.

……

Su Ning walked step by step toward Qi Shumin and the others, and exchanged himself for Tang Shouyu.

"Waaaah, thank you so much, bro."

"Get out of here! You're just causing me trouble all day long."

"Jian Fan, then I'll be going now."

"..."

After being released, Tang Shouyu ran towards the police in a panic. The feeling of surviving a disaster was truly wonderful.

Just when Qi Shumin and his team thought they had succeeded, the sniper who had been lying in ambush in the roadside bushes suddenly launched an attack.

"Bang" sound,
The sniper fired and killed one of the bandits, then covered Su Ning as he retreated step by step.

The criminals then opened fire on the police, and a life-or-death battle ensued.

Finally, the police successfully eliminated all the criminals, leaving only Qi Shumin, who was still hiding in his car and stubbornly resisting.

However, Qi Shumin's stubborn resistance was futile, and the police soon arrested him when he was out of ammunition and supplies.

However, Qi Shumin knew clearly what serious crime he had committed, so he resolutely refused to say anything related to the case.

"Qi Shumin, do you know who killed your brother Qi Yuanmin?"

"What do you mean? Isn't it Li Wei?"

"No! Li Wei is just the real scapegoat. The real culprit hired a professional hitman online and then framed the unsuspecting Li Wei."

"Impossible! Then why is Li Wei at the scene?"

"Because our police investigation of you has been very thorough, Li Wei is scared. So he wants to return the money that Tang Shouyu extorted from you, because he is worried that he will be implicated by you."

"This……"

"Of course! This was a smokescreen deliberately set up by the real culprit to make Li Wei and Qi Yuanmin meet. Otherwise, there would be no way to kill Qi Yuanmin and frame Li Wei."

"How despicable! Indeed, the most poisonous heart is that of a woman."

"Qi Shumin, it seems you've already guessed who the real culprit is?"

"Tang Lianqing! It must have been Tang Lianqing who did it! Tang Lianqing was the one who instigated everything back then."

……

It turns out that the mastermind behind all the previous cases was actually Tang Lianqing himself.

The police launched a large-scale investigation into the case, and Tang Lianqing knew that if she continued, she would inevitably be exposed.

With this in mind, she had a boat prepared for her, intending to use it to escape abroad and avoid disaster.

Su Ning and the others suddenly received news that Tang Lianqing had deliberately arrested Zeng Nan in order to cover her escape.

They locked her in a room somewhere and planted a time bomb next to her.

Tang Lianqing made a threat to the police, saying that she would only release Zeng Nan once her boat was out of international waters.

The police immediately split their team into two groups: one group pursued Tang Lianqing at sea, while the other group carried out a full-scale rescue operation for Zeng Nan in the city.

Su Ning managed to find President Li, and sure enough, President Li told Su Ning that he knew the location where Tang Lianqing was holding Zeng Nan.

Soon the police officers arrived at a residential compound in the old city and rescued Zeng Nan from a bungalow.

At sea, the group continued their pursuit of Tang Lianqing and eventually brought her to justice.

After being arrested, Tang Lianqing confessed to the police about the case: "Back then, I met Qi Yuanmin by chance and developed a romantic relationship with him. Then I was engaged in the work of selling cultural relics."

However, things took an unexpected turn. Qi Shumin and his accomplices were arrested while smuggling cultural relics, and the batch of cultural relics we smuggled were locked up in the Miyang Police Station at the time.

So Qi Yuanmin approached me, and together we conspired to commit this theft of cultural relics.

"Tang Lianqing, don't you regret all the things you've done?"

"Actually, I once aspired to become a policeman, but someone used connections to get into university in my place."

From then on, I devoted myself to studying criminal investigation and crime-related materials, engaging in various illegal activities, and taking revenge on society.

"Tang Lianqing, according to the information we obtained by the police, you were indeed replaced in school by someone else back then, and that person was your lover Qi Yuanmin's cousin."

"What? That's impossible."

"Foolish woman! I really feel sorry for you. With your intelligence, what's wrong with not going to university? But you chose a path of no return."

"me……"

"It may seem like you are taking revenge on society and protesting the injustice of the world, but little do you know that you are the one being punished."

"Waaaaah... I really regret it."

……

The cultural relic theft case that had plagued the police for more than a decade has finally been solved, and Zeng Guowei has been recognized as a martyr by the Ministry of Public Security, finally washing away the stigma and grievances that had plagued him for more than a decade.

At this moment, Liang Wuyun suddenly looked at Su Ning in front of her and asked, "Jian Fan, I heard that Jiang Dijia immigrated to Europe?"

"How did you know?" Su Ning immediately guessed what was going on, shocked.

"I'm sorry! While you were busy solving the case, I specifically sought out Jiang Dijia and talked to her for a long time."

"So it was you who forced her to leave?"

"Jian Fan, I don't want anyone to share you with me."

"Have you ever thought that even if Jiang Dijia is gone, there will still be Jiadi Jiang?"

"Hmph! I don't care! I'll take action and drive them away as soon as they appear."

"Aren't you tired?"

"I'm not tired! My greatest pursuit in this life is to protect you."

"Sigh! You're too possessive. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing."

"Honey, come home with me for dinner today! My parents want to meet you as their son-in-law."

"..."
