At ten o'clock at night, the cold wind blew outside the house, and the soft and bright flowers were dimly visible in the night, making it hard to see them clearly.
It's winter outside, but inside the house is in full swing, with champagne beauties, money temptations, and luxury everywhere.
While the symphony was playing one song after another, the siren outside the house suddenly pierced the sky, completely destroying the bustling atmosphere of the room.
"What's going on? This is a private banquet place. Who gave you the right to break into private houses?" Bai Hua looked at the large number of police officers who broke in outside the house, his face smelling of alcohol and still flushed. As soon as the cold wind passed by , his mind woke up in vain and he realized something was wrong.
Xu Zihang led Xiang Wenqi and strode in at this moment. He raised his eyes and glanced at the luxurious furnishings around him, with a trace of ridicule flashing in his eyes.
Xiang Wenqi was dressed in a police uniform, with a shining five-pointed star hanging on his shoulder. His face blown by the cold wind seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, "Are you Bai Hua? Someone reported that you are auctioning illegal items here. Pin, this is a search warrant, please actively cooperate with the investigation and stay here and don’t go anywhere.”
"No..." Bai Hua looked at the search warrant that the other party took out with a swipe, and the alcohol in his mind was really awakened at this moment. Unfortunately, Director Xiang in front of him didn't give him a chance to refute and please. With one face and a wave of their hands, more than a dozen policemen immediately rushed to search inside and outside the back hall, and the speed was unexpected.
"Ah! What's going on, Mr. Bai, you are trying to kill us." The frightened guests all knew that this was not unfounded, and for a while some female guests screamed and accused.
"Everyone, please be patient. I, Bai Hua, behave uprightly and don't worry about unfounded things. I want to see what they can do to us good citizens?" Bai Hua was also angry in his heart. He didn't care about Xiang Wenqi at the moment. Still behind him, he spoke loudly to calm everyone's emotions.
Xiang Wenqi still stood in the middle of the hall without saying a word, with no emotion on his serious face. When he heard Bai Hua's high-pitched choking, his eyes faintly glanced towards Xu Zihang, seeing that the old man was there. Unmoved, he continued to hold the air with his hands behind his back.
"Found it." At this time, a shout came from the back hall.
Everyone in the hall felt a thump in their hearts, found it? What to find
Baihua City's eyes turned sharply and he saw a policeman walking out from the background carrying an incense burner, followed closely by other policemen in uniforms, each holding antiques that were auctioned tonight.
"Director, there are fifteen items in total, which basically match the missing list issued by the institute. These should be the items stolen underground." The police officer on the side said in a steady and powerful voice.
underground. steal.
Everyone present could hear it clearly, and for a moment they exclaimed as if their hands had been burned. Who would have thought that all the things that the Bai family photographed tonight came from the ground, and those present were all innocent people. , no one wants to get into such trouble.
Suddenly, everyone looked at Bai Hua with a hint of resentment.
This Bai Hua really screwed them up.
But as the person involved, Bai Hua was also confused at the moment. It took him a long time to react from the shock. With a livid face, he stepped forward and said loudly: "This bureau chief, I, Bai Hua, am a serious antique." As a businessman, I also have a place in the Antiques Association of Shishi City. I will never do such an unscrupulous thing."
Xiang Wenqi was comparing the pictures provided by the research institute. He glanced at Bai Hua abruptly, full of sarcasm, "Then where did you get these? Could it be that they were picked up on the street?" of?"
"No, we all have legitimate acquisition channels. If you don't believe it, I can immediately call up the details." Although Bai Hua felt uneasy and had vaguely guessed that these things came from something wrong, he was not willing to be tricked like this. .
I hurriedly made a phone call and went out. In less than five minutes, a housekeeper walked out of the back hall with a stack of A4 printing paper in his hand.
"It clearly records when and where it was purchased from whom. You can check it anytime and anywhere. There is also a phone number for inquiries." The antique business has always been risky, and Bai Hua has always been cautious in doing things. When an object is purchased, contact information must be left for verification. This prevents sudden attacks like this.
"Well, Xiao Liu, please call the phone number above first." Xiang Wenqi is not an unreasonable person. He already has something in his hand. As for whose incriminating evidence belongs to him, he doesn't really care.
If you want to say that Song Ye, who has his back against the two mountains of Xu Fangsheng and Qin Zhan, dare not move, then for an ordinary businessman like Bai Hua, with all the witnesses and material evidence available, arresting people is not at all possible. There won't be any.
Soon, police officer Xiao Liu was dialing the phone. The fifteen items came from different places in Shishi City. The contact numbers were called one by one according to the queue, but there was no movement.
Watching the police officer pick up and put down his cell phone and enter the number repeatedly, Bai Hua already had a premonition that something was wrong.
Sure enough, the police officer put down the phone, turned around and said with a serious face, "Bureau Chief, all the numbers above are empty. I have tried them all."
Empty number? Bai Hua's heart thumped, and his heart plummeted, like falling into an ice cave, "It's impossible, how come no one can get through?"
"Haha, you have to ask yourself." Xiang Wenqi crossed his arms and waved people to take everything away with a sneer on his lips.
No matter how many twists and turns there are in this matter, Bai Hua is inextricably involved in this incident.
At this point, Bai Hua could no longer hold his airs and maintain his grace. He stepped forward and snatched the information details from Xiao Liu's hand. He took out his mobile phone and dialed the phone numbers one by one, without any response. Surprisingly, all the responses on the other end of the phone were just one sentence.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is unavailable, please check before dialing."
The cold and numb woman's voice kept swirling in his mind, and Bai Hua's head buzzed. His gray hair shook twice under the light. The phone in his hand came out of his hand and fell heavily to the ground. The old face with white hair and childish face seemed to have aged dozens of years in an instant.
"Bai Hua, please come with us." Xiang Wenqi was used to seeing this kind of scene, so he stepped forward to say hello as usual, and then there were two men behind him, one on the left and one behind, who stood up and stood up over the stunned Bai Hua. Hua walked out directly.
Until the siren goes away again, the scarlet flashing lights in the night are like monsters that come and go, swallowing up all the joy.
"Let's go too." Song Ye led Bai Wenbo and slowly walked out of the banquet hall.
