Chapter Seventy-Eight: Here's Your Chance
The monkey is a very smart person, I heard Xie Benhang always call Tang Xin "Mr. Tang", and between his words and deeds, he revealed that he was very respectful and close to Tang Xin, so he rolled his eyes and said to Xie Benhang with a smile: "Leader, I really don't know the true identity of 'Bucktooth', and I never know that the cultural relics I sold him are tomb robbery." I'm the most honest person, and I'm too timid to lie to you. If you don't believe me, you can ask Brother Heipi to find out. ”
While speaking, he winked desperately at Tang Xin and motioned for him to help say good things.
Xie Benhang saw his small movements, but pretended not to know, turned his head and asked Tang Xin with a smile: "Mr. Tang, how did you know Zhu Xiaolong?
Tang Xin replied: "Captain Xie, before I was sixteen years old, I wandered on the street for several years, and Zhu Xiaolong was one of the friends I met when I was wandering. He is clever and more righteous, and he has a similar personality to me, so we have a good relationship. Later, I went to Gu Xinzhai to work, and Zhu Xiaolong also went to another city, and we never met again. ”
Zhu Xiaolong saw Tang Xin praising him for his "righteousness" and saying that he had a "similar personality", so he couldn't help but smile, and followed his words and said: "Leader, Brother Heipi is my brother in life and death." I remember one time, a boss of the antique street was robbed by several robbers, and happened to be seen by a few of our wandering brothers. Brother Blackpi was the first to rush to the rescue, and I followed him right behind to fight the robbers and drive them away. At that time, Brother Heipi and I were both injured, and I still have the scar on my forehead from the knife cut! Brother Heipi, I didn't brag about this!"
Tang Xin nodded and said, "You didn't brag." The boss we saved at that time was my future master Huang Zhixin. ”
Then, he turned his head to look at Xie Benhang and said, "Captain Xie, let's go and see the stolen goods first! There will be information left on those stolen goods, from which we can judge the process of Zhu Xiaolong taking the goods, and we can also judge whether he is a member of the tomb robbery gang or the stolen goods gang. ”
Zhu Xiaolong hurriedly said: "Brother Heipi, I am really not a member of the tomb robbery gang, and I don't know that those cultural relics are stolen goods, I was used by that 'bucktooth', you must clear my grievances!"
Tang Xin comforted him and said, "Monkey, you stay here quietly." If you are really an unwitting peddler, I will clear your name. But if you are a member of a tomb robbery gang, or know that those cultural relics are stolen goods and sell them for tomb robbers, then I can't protect you, and you must be punished by law. ”
After returning to the brigade office, Xie Benhang instructed the evidence keeper to bring over a few cultural relics sold by the monkey, and after Tang Xin observed and stroked for a while, he said to Xie Benhang: "Captain Xie, judging from this case alone, Zhu Xiaolong was indeed entrusted by that 'bucktooth' to find a buyer for him to sell the unearthed cultural relics. When he was talking to 'Bucktooth' on the phone, he also made a point of asking about the origin of the artifact. 'Bucktooth' said that he had also bought it from someone else, and told him not to ask. Judging from this, Zhu Xiaolong was neither a member of the tomb robbery gang, nor did he have the subjective intention to sell the stolen goods for the tomb robbers. ”
Speaking of this, he glanced at Xie Benhang, saw that he was silent and silent, smiled and said, "Captain Xie, what I stated just now is the truth, but I didn't mean to exonerate Zhu Xiaolong. Although Zhu Xiaolong and I are brothers in distress, if he really violates the law and committed crimes, I will never protect him. ”
Seeing that he had misunderstood, Xie Benhang hurriedly smiled and said, "Mr. Tang, how could I suspect that you exonerated Zhu Xiaolong? Just now I was thinking about how to use the clues and information you provided to wipe out the tomb robbery gang and the stolen goods gang, so I was distracted, and I didn't reply to your words in time, because I didn't have any suspicion about you." ”
Tang Xin put his mind at ease, carefully sorted out the information that had just emerged in his mind, and then told Xie Benhang in detail about the permanent residence of "Bucktooth", the location of the stolen goods, the appearance characteristics, the nicknames of the members of the tomb robbery gang, the process of robbing and excavating the ancient tomb, etc.
Xie Benhang said happily: "Brother, with the information and clues you provided, it will be easy for us to capture the 'buckteeth'. As long as we capture the bucktooth and follow the vine, we can crack a new tomb robbery gang. You've done another great job for our brigade!"
Tang Xin said a few words modestly and asked, "Zhu Xiaolong, what are you going to do, do you want to investigate his criminal responsibility?"
Xie Benhang thought for a while and said: "Since he didn't know about it, we still took it lightly and didn't pursue his legal responsibility for selling unearthed cultural relics without permission." After we capture 'Bucktooth' and get his confession, I will call you, and you will come and lead Zhu Xiaolong out when the time comes." ”
At 11 o'clock in the morning of the next day, Tang Xin received a call from Xie Benhang, saying that "Bucktooth" had been arrested last night, and after overnight interrogation, he had confessed the real names and residences of other members of the tomb robbery gang, and they were currently being monitored and arrested. At the same time, "Bucktooth" also confessed: "Monkey" Zhu Xiaolong was indeed hired by him to sell goods, and he knew nothing about their tomb robbery.
"Brother, we have decided to release Zhu Xiaolong, please come to the brigade and lead him out!"
Half an hour later, Tang Xin walked out of the compound of the Municipal Public Security Bureau with the monkey.
"Brother Heipi, when we wandered together, you said that once you have money, you will invite us brothers to have a good meal of mutton steamed buns, is this promise still counted?"
As soon as he walked out of the public security bureau, the monkey became lively and asked Tang Xin with a hippie smile.
"Of course. However, this time we don't eat mutton steamed buns and eat seafood instead, how about it?"
"What?seafood?really fake?" The monkey had never eaten seafood in his life, and when he heard Tang Xin's proposal, he couldn't help but salivate.
"Of course it's true, we're going to 'Xiangxing Seafood House' now, and I have a friend waiting there. ”
After arriving at Xiangxing Seafood Restaurant, Tang Xin got out of the car and suddenly saw Dai Xiaojun and *** standing at the door, talking to a middle-aged man in his forties with a pockmarked face.
As soon as the monkey saw the pock-faced man, he suddenly grabbed the corner of Tang Xin's clothes, lowered his voice and said, "Brother Heipi, do you see that pockmarked man at the door?" His nickname is 'Brother Fei', and I also sold him goods in March. He asked me to sell in the exact same way as 'bucktooth', so I suspect he's also a 'dirt master'. ”
The monkey's hometown is from Hunan Province, and the dialect there calls the tomb robbers "Tufuzi".
Tang Xin was taken aback, stared at the "Fei Ge" a few times, and saw that he was chatting with Dai Xiaojun and Li Tao hotly, it seemed that the relationship between the three of them was very close, and his heart couldn't help but move, feeling that the opportunity to take revenge on Dai Xiaojun had come
