Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room

For Wu Muyang, Chen Yi's issue is indeed relatively sensitive.

Moreover, it doesn’t matter whether he is caught or not.

In his eyes, this is basically equivalent to: tell me the name of the tomb robber you know, and I will catch him now, thank you.

is it possible?

If he could say it, he would have said it twenty-seven years ago. Why wait until now?

Although he is a thief, his morality cannot be lost.

"I don't know anyway."

When Wu Muyang said this, Chen Yi looked calm and picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip.

He knew very well that when Wu Muyang was imprisoned many years ago, it would be impossible to tell everything he knew.

Some secrets will remain rotten in the stomach until death. He naturally understands this.

The confessions of all suspects are only 99% true at most. Although enough conviction can close the chain of evidence, some of the deepest things are still unwilling to be revealed.

To make a person reveal his true feelings 100%, perhaps only a top psychological hypnotist can do it. There is no such thing as a completely real person, because everyone has secrets.

A secret that belongs only to you.

But what Chen Yi is asking now is not a secret. Wu Muyang can tell it, as long as his worries are eliminated.

In addition to this, there must be something...something else.

"Mr. Wu, I can add more money." Chen Yi put down the tea cup and said.

Wu Muyang was unmoved: "I really don't know."

"Police Officer Chen, the fact that you were appointed as the leader of the task force by the Yangcheng Provincial Department at such a young age shows that you are a very capable person and a very smart person."

"When I talk to smart people, I don't beat around the bush."

"Don't say I don't know what you're asking about. Even if I knew it, I wouldn't be able to tell you."

Chen Yi said: "Mr. Wu, since you won't beat around the bush, I will open the skylight and speak frankly."

"I have issued a military order with my superior about this serious murder case. If the case cannot be solved within the deadline, I will resign on the spot. I will also be embarrassed in front of my colleagues across Dongzhou."

Wu Muyang shrugged: "What does this have to do with me? I can't help you, Officer Chen."

Of course he wouldn't care about the fate of people he didn't know.

If people don't do it for themselves, they will be punished by heaven and earth. I'm just kidding.

Chen Yi continued: "I haven't finished speaking yet."

"Before leaving, my boss gave me full autonomy. As long as it is related to the investigation, I can deal with it first and then report it. All police resources in Jiangcheng are controlled. Other cities must also fully cooperate."

"The question I asked you just now is something you must know. If you don't get the answer, I will ask the police across Dongzhou to mobilize and arrest all criminals related to cultural relics in all jurisdictions, including Limited to grave robbers.”

Hearing this, Wu Muyang's expression changed and he looked at Chen Yi in surprise.

Even Zhao Qiming and others had serious expressions on their faces. Chen Yike had never told them about this matter, but as long as he wanted to do it, he definitely had the authority.

Because it has been basically determined that this case is related to tomb robbing, in order to solve this serial murder case that spanned fifteen years, the provincial department will definitely support it unconditionally.

What's more, this is to combat illegal crimes, not to act recklessly, nor to use power for personal gain.

Chen Yi: “When the time comes, I will know everything you want to know, and I will also know everything you don’t want to know.”

"Also, I can catch those who want to be arrested, but those who don't want to be arrested, and those who have nothing to do with the case, will also be in bad luck."

"Mr. Wu, including you and your relatives and friends, although you have not been in this industry for many years, if you want to investigate, you should be able to find something, right?"

Wu Muyang's face turned ugly: "Are you threatening me?"

Chen Yi shook his head: "No, I'm just telling a fact, not against you."

"If this case really reaches a dead end and cannot be investigated, I will definitely do this."

Wu Muyang fell silent.

Chen Yi glanced at him: "Mr. Wu, I know what you are worried about."

"My purpose is just to investigate this murder case. I am not interested in other things and will not delve into it."

"Also, decades have passed. Even if there is a problem, the statute of limitations has passed. There is no need to hide it."

The statute of limitations is the effective period within which criminal prosecution can be carried out against the offender.

Within this period, law enforcement officers have the right to pursue prosecution. After this period, law enforcement officers can no longer pursue prosecution.

The specific time limit depends on the maximum sentencing time for the crime committed.

For example, if the maximum penalty is five years, no prosecution will be pursued after five years; if the maximum penalty is ten years, no prosecution will be pursued after ten years.

Of course, this is not absolute.

Expiration of the prosecution period does not mean innocence, it just means that the prosecution will no longer be pursued.

Generally, if the statute of limitations for prosecution has expired, the right to pursue the case will be lost. However, if the police have already opened a case for investigation or the court has accepted the case, and the statute of limitations for prosecution has expired due to evading investigation, the statute of limitations for prosecution is not limited, and an arrest and trial can still be carried out.

To give a simple example: the police have opened a case to catch a thief. If he is caught, the other person will be sentenced to three years, but he is smart and escapes for four years. This situation is not subject to the prosecution period.

However, if the case was not filed at that time and four years have passed, it will be subject to the limitation of the prosecution period. Provided that he does not continue to commit crimes within these four years, the last criminal act shall prevail.

There is also the most special case where the crime is extremely serious, such as murder, and the maximum penalty is life imprisonment or even death. If it must be traced after twenty years, it can be reported to the Imperial City for approval.

What Chen Yi is referring to is tomb robbing. Twenty or thirty years have passed now. As long as the case was not filed at that time, most of them have already passed the prosecution period.

"Huh?" Wu Muyang was surprised, "You mean, even if you have robbed a tomb before, you won't arrest him?"

Chen Yi nodded: "You can say that, but it depends on the time and specific circumstances."

Wu Muyang relaxed a little.

The other party has already spoken very sincerely, and it also has a..."coercive" flavor. If this does not give face, it seems to be a bit too much.

"Then... do you still need to pay more?"

After a while, Wu Muyang spoke.

This is what you said yourself and has nothing to do with me. I didn't take the initiative to ask for more money.

By the way, can this kid be reimbursed or does he have money? It feels like taking money is not money, as if money is just a number.

Chen Yi smiled and said: "Of course, money is easy to talk about, and anything that can be solved with money is no big deal."

Wu Muyang was suspicious.

This is like what a "silly son of a landlord" would say. Your kid is not a rich second generation, right?

"Okay, let's talk." Wu Muyang finally nodded.

Chen Yi: "Thank you very much."

"It's still the same problem. How many famous supporters or related professionals do you know in Jiangcheng or the entire Dongzhou area? The time was twenty-five years ago, whether they were caught or not."

Wu Muyang: "Seven or eight."

Chen Yi was surprised: "So many?!"

Wu Muyang smiled and said: "Is that many? There are also people I don't know, so there are more."

Chen Yi did not continue the topic and asked: "Where's the name?"

Hearing this, Wu Muyang glanced at the door, then looked back at the window, then stood up and brought paper and pen over.

After writing at his desk for a while, he handed it to Chen Yi.

"Burn it after reading it, okay?"

Chen Yi nodded slightly, took the paper from Wu Muyang, and at the same time took out the cigarette and held it in his mouth.

After a quick glance, he lit the cigarette and the white paper in his hand.

His expression became a little strange at this moment.

Because the speed was too fast, Zhao Qiming and the others did not see everything. Seeing Chen Yi's reaction...did they discover anything?

Chen Yi threw the burning white paper on the ground and said, "What's going on with Tao Hanhui?"

Upon hearing this name, the faces of Zhao Qiming and the others changed slightly.

Tao Hanhui?

That's Tao Shangli's father!

Tao Shangli's father is a tomb robber? !

This... this is too dramatic. No matter how much I checked, it was blamed on Tao Shangli again.

No wonder Chen Yihui had doubts about Tao Shangli, no wonder Tao Shangli knew so much about the tomb robbing business, and as an archaeologist, he didn't dislike him, but rather appreciated his talk.

Wu Muyang didn't understand why Chen Yi focused on Tao Hanhui. He didn't ask any more questions and replied: "I also met the master from Yangcheng by chance."

"Like me, he runs an antique shop."

Chen Yi and others already knew about this when they were investigating Tao Shangli's information.

The point is not the antique shop, but that among the names Wu Muyang mentioned, there was Tao Hanhui.

Chen Yi was silent for a while and said, "Have you ever been to the grave together?"

Wu Muyang nodded: "I've done it before. This guy is very powerful. He is proficient in dividing gold and setting points."

Chen Yi: "Can you do the so-called... put your hands on a pergola and fix the acupuncture points at a glance?"

Wu Muyang: "Do you still know this? It's not so absolute. It mainly depends on the environment and the shape of the tomb. Sometimes it's OK."

Chen Yi: "Have you contacted him after you were released from prison?"

Wu Muyang did not hide anything: "I have been in contact."

Chen Yi: "Did he mention whether there was any action twenty-five years ago?"

Wu Muyang shook his head: "No."

Chen Yi: "No, or he didn't tell you?"

Wu Muyang smiled: "Tao Hanhui and I have a very good relationship. It is no secret for us to go to a new grave. If he has gone to a new tomb, he will tell me when we chat. If he hears it, he will forget it and it will rot in his stomach. "

"Not to mention I asked."

"Since he didn't say it, then he definitely didn't."

Chen Yi: "When did he stop?"

Wu Muyang: "After I was caught."

Chen Yi: "Did he stop because you were caught?"

Mentioning this matter, Wu Muyang sighed and said: "This is probably the main reason. How can you walk by the river without getting your shoes wet? Anyone who is not caught for illegal crimes is just luck. People like me are unlucky. , you can only face ten years in prison."

"The secondary reason is because of his son."

"My incident has sounded the alarm for him. If he is also arrested, what will happen to his wife and children? They will be all alone. The quality of life will also decline significantly, and it will even affect his son's life."

Chen Yi asked: "What is his son's name?"

When asking, be sure to ask for details, which can indirectly verify the authenticity, even if you already know it.

Wu Muyang: "Tao Shangli, I heard that he is now an archaeologist, which is really amazing."

"Can it be considered...that the son has inherited his father's legacy?"

Of course it doesn't count as a son inheriting his father's legacy, but it can be said that they are closely related.

Chen Yi: "Does Tao Hanhui come to Jiangcheng often?"

Wu Muyang: "Occasionally, I don't come often. I come here to get together when I have free time. It's not far anyway."

Chen Yi did not continue, but paused at this moment, picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.

This Tao Shangli's experience and background is really a bit... legendary.

My father is a master, and his friends are also masters. It can be said that a lot of elders have been around him since childhood.

It's familiar to both ears and eyes, and if you've never eaten pork, you've seen pigs running around all day long.

If this goes astray, I might not be a top tomb robber in the future.

Fortunately, Tao Hanhui stopped and became an archaeologist himself.

Anyway, it's pretty much the same. They're both working in graveyards, and both have access to a massive amount of antiques. The difference is that one is illegal and the other is legal.

In those suspense novels about treasure appraisal in previous lives, he really has the potential to be a protagonist.

After a while, Chen Yi continued: "Mr. Wu, have you heard of the story I just told you after you were released from prison?"

"The time was twenty-five years ago."

Wu Muyang: "This is really not the case. After I was released from prison, I seldom cared about this news. When chatting with friends, I occasionally talked about it, just to reminisce about my early youth."

Chen Yi: "Then where do you think the story I just told is most likely to happen?"

"In addition, the tomb contains Longquan celadon from the two Song Dynasties, as well as a large number of Qing folk kilns."

Wu Muyang: "Of course it's Jiangcheng. There are many tombs cleared in Jiangcheng."

Chen Yi: "I mean... a specific place."

This question made Wu Muyang's face tremble, and he said speechlessly: "Officer Chen, do you think I am a god?"

Chen Yi smiled and did not continue. He just asked casually, what if he really knew?

"but……"

At this time, Wu Muyang changed his voice and said: "If there is Longquan celadon from the two Song Dynasties, it probably won't be the tomb of an unknown person, at least it must be a rich family, right?"

"Is there only one Longquan Celadon?"

Chen Yi: "What if there is only one thing?"

Wu Muyang said: "Logically speaking, there shouldn't be only one. The others are all garbage? Then it might be a filter pit."

Chen Yi: "What is a filter pit?"

Wu Muyang explained: "The filter pit is a tomb that has been stolen. The good things inside were filtered by the previous wave of people, and everything that should be taken away was taken away."

"As for the rest...it depends on the luck of the next wave of people."

"If you are talking about a filter pit, then the appearance of Longquan celadon from the two Song Dynasties is either because the previous wave of people couldn't get it, or because the previous wave of people were blind."

Chen Yi thought thoughtfully. It turned out that there was still such a possibility, but he had never thought of it before.

The organizers put so much effort into it twenty-five years ago. They must have discovered a tomb of great value, so they gathered people to explore it.

In the end, Sun Jianli and the others seemed to have gained nothing, which was indeed a bit strange. No matter how greedy he, Cao Maojun, could not be so thorough.

It would be more reasonable if you went to a filter pit.

If there are a large number of genuine items in the tomb, Cao Maojun does not need to swallow them all, and he cannot swallow them.

If Cao Maojun discovered that there was only one genuine item in the entire tomb...then his behavior would be understandable.

Once it is revealed that there will be internal strife, Bao Qi will start a fight in the tomb, and simply try to hide the truth.
