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

The time came an hour later.

After an hour of questioning, Chen Yi had to say that he really made the right decision to come to Wu Muyang today.

This person knows a lot. Even if it doesn't cover the entire tomb robbing industry in Jiangcheng, it can still help the police uncover a mysterious part of it.

Not to mention whether the information asked today will be helpful to the investigation, at least there are multiple investigation directions, and the probability of getting major clues has increased.

"Thank you, Mr. Wu, your words have been of great help to us."

As he spoke, Chen Yi picked up the tea cup in front of him and drank it all in one gulp, preparing to leave.

Wu Muyang said with a smile: "It's easy to talk, it's easy to talk. I haven't met a young man like you for a long time."

He didn't describe it, he just said "young people like you", which I guess was not derogatory.

"This money..."

He rubbed his hands.

Chen Yi smiled and said: "Money is easy to talk about, can I scan the QR code?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Muyang quickly pointed in one direction and said: "Over there, technology is developing, and we must also keep pace with the times."

Chen Yi nodded, stood up and said, "Excuse me for disturbing you today, Mr. Wu. Goodbye."

"If I have any more questions, I will come again."

"ah?"

Wu Muyang's expression froze. Although the other party was young, it put a lot of pressure on him. To be honest, if he had a choice, he didn't want to see the other party again.

but……

When Chen Yi passed by the QR code and scanned the QR code to pay, Wu Muyang looked at the payment notification on his phone and his eyes immediately widened.

"Xiao Chen! Come here often! Just come and sit if you have nothing to do!"

He yelled, and it seemed that the amount exceeded expectations.

Chen Yi waved his hand gently, and several people opened the door and left Huayuzhai.

Zhao Qiming glanced at Wu Muyang, who suddenly burst into laughter. After looking away, he couldn't help but ask: "Team Leader Chen, how much did you give him?"

Chen Yi stood at the door, lit a cigarette, and said casually: "Not much."

"Speaking of the filter pit problem he mentioned just now, the more I think about it, the more I think it's possible. Where are you guys?"

Zhao Qiming nodded: "I also think the possibility is not small. The organizers have put in so much effort, so it shouldn't be a broken tomb, right?"

"To describe this situation in one sentence, it's like leaving in good spirits and returning in disgrace. It's likely to be a filter pit."

"If it is really a filter pit, Cao Maojun is playing tricks under the light."

"It's definitely impossible for me to keep it all to myself, so I tell others that what they have is genuine, so that everyone can be happy."

"Afterwards, even if the matter is exposed and the other party comes to visit, you can still say that you were wrong. In fact, what everyone has is fake."

"What's more, it's not that easy to find people for a temporary team that leaves after finishing its work."

After listening to Zhao Qiming's words, several people agreed, so it made sense.

Chen Yi: "Let's go, go back to the city bureau first, and check on the people Wu Muyang just mentioned."

When they were leaving, they happened to bump into the police from the jurisdiction who came to visit and inquire, and they chatted with each other.

"Team Leader Chen, Team Zhao."

Several policemen stood at attention.

Chen Yi nodded: "There is a place called Hua Yuzhai inside. You don't need to go. We just came out."

"Understand the others carefully, even if you only have some impressions, you should write them down."

Opponent: "Yes!"

…

Returning to the Jiangcheng City Bureau, Shi Xin immediately started working, conducting detailed investigations based on the names provided by Chen Yi.

The focus is also on the residential address and their relatives and descendants.

After noon, after two o'clock, Shi Xin handed a piece of information to Chen Yi.

Chen Yi said while watching: "Wu Muyang was imprisoned twenty-seven years ago, and the tomb robbery incident should have occurred twenty-five years ago. Wu Muyang himself does not have time, but these people do."

"We need to go visit."

"There is a possibility that they were looked for but did not go."

Zhao Qiming looked over: "Who should we start with? How about we split up?"

Chen Yi nodded: "Split up and work in pairs."

"Old Zhao and Pan Cheng are in a group, Lao He and Zhuo Yun are in a group, and Qin Fei and I are in a group."

"You are responsible for the others. I will go back to Yangcheng and meet at the city bureau tomorrow."

Zhao Qiming: "Are you going to find Tao Hanhui?"

Chen Yi hummed: "After all, he is my friend's father, so I'll go."

"But before you go, you still have to tell Tao Shangli, otherwise if he finds out about this in the future, my friend probably won't have to do anything."

Zhao Qiming smiled and said: "Tao Hanhui has quit anyway, so it's not a big problem."

…

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Yi and Qin Fei met Tao Shangli again. The meeting place was at the door of the other party's unit.

Chen Yi's sudden arrival made Tao Shangli very confused.

"Officer Chen, what's going on?"

Chen Yi got straight to the point: "Shang Li, I met Wu Muyang."

Upon hearing the name Wu Muyang, Tao Shangli's expression changed, and then he fell silent.

Chen Yi continued: "This is all in the past, and it is impossible to pursue it now. As a friend, I want to say two important words."

"For this case, both Tao Hanhui and Wu Muyang may provide important clues to the police. I can understand you. After all, he is your father, and it would not be good to spread the news."

"But from the police's point of view, your concealment has caused me some trouble."

Listening to Chen Yi's words, Tao Shangli sighed deeply and said, "I'm sorry, Officer Chen. This is my selfishness. Thank you for your understanding."

Chen Yi smiled and patted Tao Shangli on the shoulder and said: "It's okay, it won't have much impact. I came to see you to talk about this matter. I just want each other to be honest with each other. After all, we are friends."

"Also, today I want to go to Yangcheng to meet your father. Do you think it's suitable?"

Tao Shangli said: "Okay, okay, that's no problem."

"Do you want me to talk to him? If you understand the situation, your conversation will go more smoothly."

Chen Yi: "Alright."

Tao Hanhui once had such an experience. Although he stopped, he still had conflicts with the police in his heart. With Tao Shangli as the intermediary, things would naturally be much easier to handle.

After the two separated, Chen Yi and Qin Fei immediately drove to Yangcheng and met Tao Hanhui that night.

The location is in his shop.

Originally he should have closed the door and gone home at this time, but after receiving a call from Tao Shangli, he was surprised and chose to wait.

"Officer Chen, come on, come on, please take a seat, please take a seat."

Tao Hanhui is nearly sixty, but he is in good spirits. He seems to be ten years older than Wu Muyang.

"Mr. Tao, I'm really bothering you." Chen Yi said politely.

Tao Hanhui smiled and said: "Don't bother, don't bother. I have nothing to do originally. My mother was in a car accident before, so I would like to thank Officer Chen for his help."

While they were talking, several people sat down, and Chen Yi said: "I'm just passing by, and I can't help much. Mr. Tao doesn't need to pay attention to this matter."

After the tea was poured, Tao Hanhui said: "Officer Chen, I heard that you just met Lao Wu?"

Mentioning this matter, Chen Yi explained with a smile: "Mr. Tao doesn't need to worry about it. He only told me after I promised him that I wouldn't arrest anyone."

"At first I promised huge profits, but he didn't say anything, which shows that your relationship is still very good."

What needs to be explained should be explained to avoid misunderstanding between the two of them.

After being friends for so many years, if they became enemies because of this, it would be his fault.

Hearing this, Tao Hanhui smiled and said, "That's not what I meant. It was just a casual question."

"Officer Chen, how can I help?"

Seeing that the other party got down to business, Chen Yi didn't waste any time and accepted several pieces of character information handed over by Qin Fei.

"Mr. Tao, do you know anyone or have seen him? The focus is twenty-five years ago."

"So early?"

Tao Hanhui said something, picked up the information and looked through it one by one, and his eyes quickly froze.

"I met him, twenty-five years ago."

Chen Yi's eyes narrowed slightly and he stretched his head to take a look.

It's Tian Youwei.

Qin Fei next to him also looked shocked, finally finding detailed clues! It’s not easy!

"Can you tell me more specifically?" Chen Yi asked.

Tao Hanhui nodded and said: "I remember, it was probably two years after Lao Wu was imprisoned. Someone came to find me and said that there was a big tomb that wanted to recruit me."

"I refused directly at that time, and it was this person named Tian Youwei."

Chen Yi was surprised: "You were in Yangcheng and he was in Jiangcheng. How did he find you?"

Tao Hanhui said: "I was also confused, and I didn't know him. Why did you come all the way to see me? I asked him specifically."

"He said he spent some money and found someone to ask for my name. He knew that I was very professional, so he sought cooperation."

Chen Yi: "Are you very famous in this industry in Dongzhou a few decades ago?"

Tao Hanhui felt embarrassed and said: "It's... not bad, not bad."

Judging from his expression and humble tone, he is probably quite famous.

Chen Yi said: "To come to you specifically means that he is determined to get this tomb."

Tao Hanhui nodded: "Yes, I knew the tomb was not small as soon as I heard it, but I had already stopped and I didn't agree to it."

Chen Yi: "Did he say which person he was looking for?"

Tao Hanhui: "It should be the first one."

"I can tell that he doesn't know much, but he has the advantage of information and wants me to be the scapegoat... Officer Chen knows about scapegoating, right?"

Chen Yi: "Yes, Mr. Tao, continue."

Tao Hanhui: "Okay."

"The information he has is only a rough range. He needs to locate the acupoint on site and accurately locate the ancient tomb to ensure that he can hit it with one hit. Therefore, he must find a very professional person from the beginning and cannot have a trying mentality."

"Otherwise, once the first positioning fails, the tomb will no longer be a secret, and the information will soon spread in the industry. By then, there will be many, many people who want to get a piece of the pie."

Chen Yi nodded slightly: "I understand."

"Mr. Tao, after you refused, did he say who he would go to, or did you recommend him?"

Tao Hanhui shook his head: "No, I didn't want to talk to him anymore at that time. I refused simply and told him to leave quickly."

Chen Yi: "Then who do you think he will go to?"

Tao Hanhui hesitated: "This...it's really hard to say."

Chen Yi: "Can you tell me the names of relevant people you know?"

Tao Hanhui was surprised: "I know him, and so does Lao Wu. Didn't he tell you?"

Chen Yi: "Tell me and I'll listen."

Tao Hanhui nodded: "Okay."

He thought for a while, and then slowly said a few names, which all overlapped with the names provided by Wu Muyang, and no new characters appeared.

Chen Yi continued to ask: "Did he mention the location of the tomb?"

Tao Hanhui: "Before reaching cooperation, it is definitely impossible to reveal the specific location, but he mentioned that it was a tomb that was cleared in Jiangcheng, and it was also the tomb of a prince and noble."

The clues were connected and the case began to make significant progress.

Chen Yi couldn't help but touched his body and said, "Can I smoke?"

Tao Hanhui smiled and said: "Of course, Officer Chen, you don't have to be polite, please feel free to do it."

After saying that, he stood up and brought an ashtray over and placed it in front of Chen Yi.

"Thanks."

Chen Yi lit the cigarette, thought for a moment, and said, "Is there any other information?"

Tao Hanhui recalled it carefully and then said: "Oh, and he said that no matter whether it was successful or not, he would pay 20,000 yuan in advance."

Hearing this, Chen Yi stopped smoking: "Twenty thousand?"

"Twenty-five years ago, twenty thousand was a lot."

Tao Hanhui nodded: "Yes, it's indeed quite a lot."

Chen Yi: "Mr. Tao, in a situation like this, does he only pay you alone, or does everyone in the team have a share?"

Tao Hanhui: "Of course everyone has a share. Either none or both, it's a matter of how much."

Chen Yi picked up Tian Youwei's information and glanced at it: "A teacher, where did he get the money? Did he lose all his savings?"

Listening to Chen Yi's words, Tao Hanhui was surprised: "Is he a teacher?"

He only looked at the photos just now and didn't pay attention to other information.

Chen Yi hummed.

Tao Hanhui thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's his savings, and he's going to put all his money into it. If he succeeds, he will make a lot of money, but if he fails, he will become a pauper."

"It's also possible that he found a sponsor who paid the money."

"It depends on the person's personality, whether he is aggressive or prudent."

Chen Yi took a puff of his cigarette and frowned slightly. If there really was a benefactor who paid the money, then there would not be seven people involved in this case, but eight.

If there were eight, the murderer would most likely continue killing people.

Time is getting tighter.

He fell silent.

Seeing that Chen Yi was thinking about something, Tao Hanhui didn't bother him. He gently picked up the teapot and poured some tea for him.

A minute later, Chen Yi went through all the clues he had so far in his mind, put out his cigarette, stretched out his hand and said, "Qin Fei, give me the photo."

Upon hearing this, Qin Fei immediately flipped through the briefcase in his hand and took out a dozen photos of the scene environment.

This is not a death scene, there is no body in the photo.

Chen Yi pushed the photo to Tao Hanhui and said, "Mr. Tao, you are a very professional person. Please help me take a look at these places. Is there anything special about them?"

Tao Hanhui: "Okay."

He picked up the photos one by one and looked at them carefully, not missing any detail.

It wasn't until the last photo was placed on the table that he looked up: "The feng shui is very good. In ancient times, it would have been a treasured place for burial."

Chen Yi seemed to have caught something and asked: "Mr. Tao, do you think there are many places like this in Jiangcheng?"

Tao Hanhui: "Definitely not many, now they have become urbanized."

Chen Yi: "You... are proficient in locating ancient tombs?"

This question made Tao Hanhui hesitate, and then nodded: "Yes."

Chen Yi made a request: "Mr. Tao, can you use your ability to do our police a favor?"

Tao Hanhui: "Officer Chen, please speak."

Chen Yi pointed to the photos on the table: "Based on the common points of these photos, find similar places, and then try to find the location of the underground tomb. Do you think it is possible?"

Tao Hanhui was surprised: "This... is very difficult. The prerequisite for our positioning is to get a rough range."

"As Officer Chen said just now, it's basically just luck. You also know the size of Jiangcheng."

Chen Yi rubbed his fingers out of habit: "Maybe...we are very lucky?"

"Mr. Tao, I won't let you work for nothing. You will be paid. You decide the price."

Tao Hanhui was silent for a while, then smiled and said: "Forget the reward, you are a good friend of Shang Li, so you are my junior, it's just a small favor, of course I will help."

"Besides, I haven't moved for more than twenty years, so my hands are really itchy."

"In this way, I will find a few old friends, including Wu Muyang, to do this together and try to get you the results as soon as possible."

"Officer Chen, am I... looking for a grave legally?"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Tao Hanhui's words made the atmosphere much more relaxed, and the relationship between them became much closer.

"Thank you, Mr. Tao."

…

The next morning, Taihang Tower.

Tao Hanhui walked into Huayuzhai. At this time, Wu Muyang was still reading there leisurely like yesterday.

"Old Wu." Tao Hanhui shouted.

The familiar voice made Wu Muyang subconsciously raise his head. When he saw it was Tao Hanhui, he was pleasantly surprised and stood up quickly: "Old Tao, why didn't you tell me in advance that you are here?"

"Haha." Tao Hanhui laughed, "Don't I miss you? I want to recognize you by the way."

"Recognize your eyes?" Wu Muyang was stunned immediately, subconsciously looked at whether there was anyone behind him, and then whispered: "Didn't you quit working long ago? Are you short of money recently? Or is there some big tomb?"

"If you don't have money, come to me. Let me tell you, there were police officers yesterday..."

Tao Hanhui waved his hand to interrupt: "Okay, okay, this is not a fight, you are overthinking."

"Yesterday I promised Officer Chen to find a few places to step on plates in Jiangcheng. You have to participate in this matter. I can't do it alone."

Hearing this, Wu Muyang said: "Uh...he really went to find you?"

Tao Hanhui hummed and said, "It's okay. Officer Chen is Shang Li's friend. There is no need to be hostile to him."

"This case is probably not a small one, so we should help."

Wu Muyang was surprised: "Does he know Shang Li?"

Tao Hanhui: "Yes."

Wu Muyang was slightly silent and said, "I know what case he is investigating, a murder case."

Tao Hanhui: "Oh?"

Wu Muyang greeted: "Come on, sit down first."

It seems that the information the two know can be exchanged.

Ten minutes later, Wu Muyang understood the relationship between Chen Yi and Tao Shangli, and Tao Hanhui also roughly understood the seriousness of the case.

"Six lives, right?" Tao Hanhui frowned.

Wu Muyang nodded: "I guess so."

"Either he didn't die, or his descendants took revenge. This kind of situation has not happened before, but I haven't heard of anyone being killed in these years."

"Maybe I found a few half-hearted people. It's easy to trap and easy to control."

Tao Hanhui turned the tea cup in front of him and said, "Let's not worry about this. That is Officer Chen's business."

"I haven't stepped on a plate in more than 20 years, and now I can do it openly. I'm a little excited just thinking about it."

"Old Wu, gather your friends and let's do it."

"We have done a lot of good deeds by helping Officer Chen solve the case."

For Tao Hanhui, Wu Muyang would not refuse and said indifferently: "Okay, I will listen to you."
