Chapter 549 - 549 520 Verify the Loot on the Spot

549: Chapter 520: Verify the Loot on the Spot 549: Chapter 520: Verify the Loot on the Spot “Slam!” Yuan Hongpei finished speaking and slammed the record book down on the table harshly.

“Don’t think just because you’re a celebrity you’ll get any special treatment!”

“I want to see my lawyer!

I won’t say anything until my lawyer arrives!” Liu Hun told Yuan Hongpei.

“Hmph!” Yuan Hongpei sneered at Liu Hun with a crooked mouth, “Fine!

People like you always look for loopholes in the law the moment you’re caught!”

“That’s a right granted to me by the law, do you have a problem with that?” Liu Hun coldly said to Yuan Hongpei.

“You?!

Slam!” Yuan Hongpei slammed the record book down again, sneering, “You want to see your lawyer?

Fine!

Let him call his lawyer!” After saying that to the officer beside him, Yuan Hongpei stormed out of the interrogation room.

“Here, you only have two minutes for the call, and whatever you say will be recorded,” said the officer, handing Liu Hun a cell phone.

Liu Hun made a call to Jin Zhu, a shrewd lawyer who had become his personal attorney after helping him with several lawsuits.

Jin Zhu hurried to the interrogation room; it had been a long time since she had seen her employer, although she often saw him in magazines and on TV, she had not needed to come in person until now.

“Agent Liu!” Jin Zhu greeted Liu Hun as soon as she entered the room.

Liu Hun deliberately glanced at the officer beside him, and Jin Zhu immediately understood, saying to the officer next to Liu Hun, “I’d like to speak with my client in private.”

The officer grimaced, these lawyers always talking about the law, impossible to mess with.

“Agent Liu, I have something…”

“Shh!” Liu Hun made a shushing gesture to Jin Zhu, then scribbled a few strokes with his finger on his palm.

Jin Zhu quickly caught on, marveling at how well Liu Hun knew the police tactics, and immediately took out paper and pen from her bag to write: President Lin contacted me earlier, what exactly is going on?

Liu Hun read the note and wrote back: Six guns are in the police’s possession.

Jin Zhu read it, startled, and continued writing: President Lin said to tell you, Zhong Xiao has been caught too, she suspects there’s a mole.

As soon as Liu Hun saw the note, he realized there must be a mole and continued to write: Have there been changes in the police department’s upper echelons, and do you have any way to get me out now?

Jin Zhu took the small paper and wrote: Mu Zhengrong has been transferred, and there’s been a major reshuffle from top to bottom.

I can request bail, but if the police find the guns, there’s no way you’re getting out.

Just as Liu Hun was about to write, the door to the interrogation room burst open.

He immediately tore up the note with the dialogue and shoved it into his mouth.

“Hey!

What are you doing!

Spit that out!” Yuan Hongpei glared and charged towards Liu Hun, reaching to grab his throat.

Delivering death on your own doorstep!

Liu Hun thought, grabbing Yuan Hongpei’s wrist with one hand.

Yuan Hongpei’s hand couldn’t exert any strength and was just limply placed on Liu Hun’s neck.

“Ugh…

you!” Yuan Hongpei hadn’t expected Liu Hun to be so strong; he felt his wrist being dislocated by Liu Hun’s grip.

“What are you doing!

Maliciously injuring my client, I can sue you!” Jin Zhu stood up and slammed the table, glaring furiously at Yuan Hongpei.

It was only then that Liu Hun released Yuan Hongpei’s hand.

Yuan Hongpei was in so much pain he grimaced and gasped for breath, and he said to Liu Hun through gritted teeth, “You!

You dare attack a police officer!”

“Outrageous slander!

Clearly, you are the one who hurt my client!

And now you have the audacity to falsely accuse him of attacking an officer!

I’m going to complain about you to your superiors!” Jin Zhu rose abruptly, pointing angrily at Yuan Hongpei.

Yuan Hongpei clenched his teeth and snapped his dislocated joint back into place.

Not only had he failed to snatch the note, but he had also lost face in every conceivable way.

Knowing he couldn’t outtalk these verbose lawyers, Yuan Hongpei said to Liu Hun, “Liu Hun!

Someone has reported you for illegal possession of firearms and organizing a gang!

Now that your lawyer is here, just come clean!”

“Where’s the evidence?” Liu Hun retorted to Yuan Hongpei.

“Slam!” Yuan Hongpei slammed down the record book again and pointed at Liu Hun’s nose, saying, “I warn you, Liu Hun!

You better cooperate with us!”

“Watch your words!

Your language is already verging on physical threats against my client!” Jin Zhu now interjected.

Yuan Hongpei glared hard at Jin Zhu; he really didn’t dare to lay a hand on a woman, especially a lawyer.

“Fine!

Liu Hun, I’m telling you, we already have a witness!

But, to protect the witness, we will let you see them in court!

And we already have physical evidence!” Yuan Hongpei told Liu Hun.

“Then what else do you need to ask for?!” Liu Hun raised an eyebrow and asked Yuan Hongpei, hardly believing Yuan Hongpei’s words.

If there really were a complete set of witness and physical evidence, Yuan Hongpei would not need to fuss over a note.

Yuan Hongpei felt a lump in his throat and cocked his head to speak to Liu Hun, “Liu Hun, do you think we can’t convict you just because we can’t open that box?

We have witnesses who can identify you!”

“Any random person off the street could be a witness against me.

I could find you a hundred, ready to accuse me of whatever you want,” Liu Hun replied with a cold smile, finally understanding why Yuan Hongpei had been fussing here—it was because they genuinely couldn’t open the box, and that was all thanks to the meticulous Zhong Xiao.

Yuan Hongpei was so angry that his teeth itched.

“Buzz buzz buzz…

buzz buzz buzz…” Jin Zhu’s phone suddenly rang.

As soon as she answered the call, her face went pale with shock, “Shi Qing’er has been kidnapped!”

“What?!

Qing’er has been kidnapped?!” Liu Hun was also taken aback.

“Sit down!

Sit down!” Yuan Hongpei pounded the table and said, obviously pleased by Liu Hun’s anxious demeanor.

This was the prelude to a breakthrough.

“Hmph!

You can’t even take care of yourself, and you want to worry about others!

Take care of your own affairs first!

If you don’t talk, we can drag this out as long as we need to!” Yuan Hongpei said intentionally, knowing Liu Hun was in a hurry.

After Liu Hun sat down, he took a deep breath, looking like he had made a significant decision, and said, “I’m willing to open the box myself, but I have two conditions.”

“You’re willing to open it yourself?” Yuan Hongpei asked with delight.

This box was the entire case’s breakthrough; unfortunately, it was also unopenable.

If Liu Hun would open it, his guilt could be established, and then the rewards and recognition from higher-ups would follow.

“Yes!

But I have two conditions!” Liu Hun said.

“Manager Liu!” Jin Zhu gripped Liu Hun’s shoulder nervously; if he confessed, there was no way to redeem the situation.

“It’s fine, I’ve got it under control!” Liu Hun patted Jin Zhu’s hand and said.

“What are the conditions?

Tell me!” Yuan Hongpei asked Liu Hun.

This was a high-profile case, which would greatly boost his own standing as well as his superior’s.

“First, I want to open the box in front of all media reporters.

Second, I want Zhong Xiao to do it with me,” Liu Hun said to Yuan Hongpei.

Dead set on making a spectacle to the last, these so-called celebrities deserve to be thrown in prison.

Yuan Hongpei thought for a moment.

Since Liu Hun was willing to embarrass himself in public and save the hassle of a press conference, he nodded and said, “Fine!

I agree!” Standing up, he then instructed the officer beside him, “Bring the two of them to the front of the station in five minutes!” Having said that, he left.

Five minutes later, the entrance to the police station was jam-packed with reporters of all sorts, and Jin Zhu had secretly informed Lin Xiaoxiang to wait at the entrance.

After Yuan Hongpei showed up looking businesslike and talked a bunch of irrelevant nonsense, ostensibly to demonstrate his leadership skills, Zhong Xiao and Liu Hun finally came into view of the media reporters.

Liu Hun looked at Zhong Xiao and was relieved to see no injuries on him and that he seemed to be in good color.

Zhong Xiao had a face full of apology.

“Click click click…” Seeing Liu Hun, the reporters started snapping pictures with their cameras.

Yuan Hongpei felt annoyed looking at the scene; the attention Liu Hun got was at least ten times more than when he had first come out.

He swore to humiliate Liu Hun later, to have him utterly despised and trampled underfoot!

“Manager Liu, is the report against you true?

Are you involved in the illegal possession of firearms, or is it a trap set by your enemies?”

“Manager Liu, what brings you here today?

Are you here to clarify your situation, or is there some arrangement by the police?”

“Manager Liu, if your charges are confirmed, will it affect the artists of Imperial Palace Company?

Do you have any plans?”

“…”

Liu Hun rarely gave the media reporters a slight smile and then said, “I’m standing here today to give everyone an explanation.

The police received a report that I was involved in the illegal possession of firearms and have seized a box.

They suspect there are firearms inside, so now I’m here to open this box in front of all our media friends!”

“Bring up the box!” Yuan Hongpei said grandly with a sweeping gesture, and immediately an officer came forward carrying a box.

“Give it to him!

Let him open it!” Yuan Hongpei instructed the officer holding the box.

The officer promptly placed the box at Liu Hun’s feet.

Liu Hun picked it up and held it in his hands while the surrounding reporters burst into a frenzy of flashing cameras.

“How do you open it?” Liu Hun quietly asked Zhong Xiao standing beside him.

Zhong Xiao secretly conveyed to Liu Hun how to open the box, which had been purchased from Azalovich and was originally meant for storing high-level military documents, hence the police’s inability to open it quickly.

“Master Liu, the thing is inside, you’re not going to…” Zhong Xiao asked anxiously.

“Don’t worry!” Liu Hun replied softly, then turned the box to dial in the combination all the while holding the open end toward the media reporters.

“When the item appears, I’ll personally go up and grab the perpetrator.

You all step back a bit, don’t block the cameras’ view of me,” Yuan Hongpei told the officers beside him.

He had already thought of a dramatic pose to press Liu Hun’s face to the ground.

“The box is about to be opened!

Liu Hun really does seem confident!

He dares to open the box right in front of the reporters!

Isn’t this leaving him no room to maneuver?”
