Chapter 157: Branches
After playing the game in the middle of the night, Ye Chen glanced at the passenger ship again before going to bed, and was still sailing on the sea, calculating the distance, and he would be able to reach Liverpool at almost six o'clock in the morning. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIt was already two o'clock in the evening at this time, and Ye Chen was still able to sleep for a while.
Parker and Pierre had already fallen asleep next to Ye Chen, Parker leaned on Pierre, his head tilted, his limbs spread on the ground very casually, and there was a soft snoring sound in his mouth.
After Ye Chen turned off the game, he directly lay down and slept backwards. When playing games before, Ye Chen put a blanket on the ground, just enough to sleep on. Otherwise, as long as Ye Chen moved, he would definitely alarm Pierre.
Lie down and wake up, it's getting dark, and it's not even 6 o'clock. Ye Chen rubbed his cheeks, which were a little swollen, and then shifted his attention to the passenger ship.
By this time, the passenger ship had arrived at the dock, and the passengers had all walked off the ship sleepily. Ye Chen checked the passenger ship again, and the antique box in the guest room was indeed still inside, and it had not been transferred by the crew.
Now that he has arrived in Liverpool, Ye Chen decided to start acting now.
dialed Ye Cong's phone, and it was Alina who answered the phone, and she didn't seem to have woken up yet.
"I'm sorry, Alina, I have something to find my big brother right now." Ye Chen could only apologize repeatedly.
Ye Cong had already told Alina yesterday, so she didn't waste time and quickly woke Ye Cong up. "Xiaochen, is there any news?"
Ye Cong also knew that such an early call must have something to do with the smuggling boat, so he suddenly sobered up.
"Big brother, the passenger ship has just arrived at the port of Liverpool, and all the antiques are hidden under the bed boards in the guest room, and you need to open the two layers of bed boards to find them."
Ye Chen told Ye Cong the specific location of the antiques, worried that the police would let them go if they were not careful in their search.
After explaining these things, Ye Chen relaxed, and then waited for news from the police. He had to go shopping this morning, and he had to prepare the items he needed for tonight's banquet.
After breakfast, Ye Chen took Cui Yuanyuan out to buy things, of course, with Pierre.
"Brother Chen, how's the situation?" Out of the villa, Cui Yuanyuan, who was in the co-pilot position, couldn't wait to ask about the smuggling boat.
"The police have been notified, just wait for the news now, it is estimated that it will take an hour or two to find an answer." Although Ye Chen told his eldest brother the news very early, he had to wait until the police station went to work before he could act.
Sure enough, just as Ye Chen guessed, after about two hours, he received a call from his eldest brother, but things did not develop according to his thoughts.
"Xiaochen, let's wait for you to come back, things are a bit complicated." Ye Cong just told Ye Chen that the police did not find antiques on the boat, and asked him to go home and explain the specific things in detail.
"Let's go, Yuanyuan, hurry up and buy all the things." Ye Chen beckoned Cui Yuanyuan to push the shopping cart to the supermarket checkout counter, and he had almost bought it, so he stopped hanging out.
Seeing Ye Chen's somewhat anxious appearance, Cui Yuanyuan also felt that something was wrong. "Did something happen?"
"Well, there are some problems on the passenger ship, I have to go back and talk to my eldest brother." Knowing the situation, the two hurriedly checked out, left the supermarket, and returned to the villa with Pierre.
"Xiao Chen, Ye Cong is waiting for you at home, let you go over to find him when you come back." Ye Cong was not here, but in his own home, and instructed Alina to tell Ye Chen.
After Ye Chen put down his things, he came to the eldest brother's house, and as soon as they met, he saw the eldest brother frowning, as if he had something in his heart.
"Big brother, what's wrong?" Ye Chen didn't know why the situation was like this, and it stands to reason that he was not mistaken. Could it be that the other party secretly exchanged the antiques halfway, is it because he slept in the middle of the night, causing the other party to have an opportunity to take advantage of.
"Xiaochen, it's not your problem." Ye Cong could see that the little brother's face was very confused, and he still blamed himself a little. "There is nothing wrong with the passenger ship you found, but there is an internal ghost within the police, and James was notified in advance, and by the time the police felt the port, all the antiques were moved."
It turned out that after getting the news this morning, Ye Cong immediately notified his friends at the police station. Because of their own guarantees, the police department applied for a search warrant early in the morning and went to the port to search the passenger ship.
But he never thought that after James suffered a loss last time, he planted eyeliner in the police and knew the movements of the police one step in advance. The sailors on the passenger ship took out all the antiques in advance and transported them before the police arrived.
So in the end, when the police arrived at the pier, they found nothing on the passenger ship.
"Damn, this James is too cunning." Ye Chen hammered his fist hatefully, blaming himself for being too careless, thinking that it would be nothing to do if he handed it over to the police, and now it can be said that his previous efforts have been wasted.
"But it's not that there is no gain," Ye Cong paused and said, "Although the police did not find direct evidence of the smuggling of antiques on the passenger ship, when the police arrived at the passenger ship, the bed boards removed from all the rooms had not been cleaned." Coupled with a smuggling message from abroad, the Liverpool police have determined that the smuggled goods have entered Liverpool, and the focus of the investigation is on the passenger ship. ”
"At the same time, according to the antique information from the world, basically these smuggled antiques should not be auctioned here in the UK." The police have received clues, and the information about these antiques has been grasped by the police, as long as someone dares to sell them at an open auction, it will definitely attract the attention of the police.
"But it's still a pity," Ye Chen shook his head and said, originally this time he wanted James to bleed hemorrhage again, but who knew that the other party was not stupid, and he had already made another mistake in this regard, so he would naturally make some responses.
But this aroused Ye Chen's competitiveness even more, and the more the other party tried to hide in every possible way, the more Ye Chen wanted to expose James's incriminating evidence.
"By the way, big brother, since the other party has eyeliner in the police station, will your information be known by these people?" Ye Chen is a little worried about the safety of his eldest brother now, and has obstructed the business of these smugglers many times, and it is estimated that they also hate Ye Chen very much.
"It shouldn't be a problem, this time I just contacted my friends directly and didn't let anyone else know that I was involved. And when I went to the dock to search, I didn't go to the scene. Ye Cong also knew the powerful relationship inside, so naturally he would not follow the police directly to the dock. And his friend in the police station is his classmate many years ago, so it goes without saying that the relationship is naturally unknown, and James should not know his identity.
"That's good, then I'll be relieved." After Ye Chen understood, he put his mind at ease. If the identity of the eldest brother is known by the other party, Ye Chen can only expose his identity and solve James, and it must not affect the safety of the eldest brother.
