Chapter 45: Confiscating the house
The coast guard who brought Shao Zhongping in said a few words to the two colleagues inside and took them out.
Shao Zhongping glanced around the office and said with a smile.
"I've been busy all day and all night, so I just sat and chatted."
When Xiao Xiami and others heard what he said, they said thank you to brother pyotr and sat down again.
Shao Zhongping pulled a chair into the corridor and sat down on it.
"How was the ending?"
When Xiao Xiami heard Shao Zhongping's question, he cleared his throat before speaking.
"Everything went well."
"There is something wrong with your sister."
"We went a little late."
Shao Zhongping was not surprised at all that there were problems with Shao Zixia, because all of this was caused by him.
"Where is she now?"
Xiao Xiami carefully observed Shao Zhongping's expression before saying.
"As soon as the marine police arrived, they put her on a speedboat and sent her to the hospital."
"We don't know the specific situation right now."
Shao Zhongping nodded. At that time, he had told Boss Bai to let the people on the ship keep an eye on it, but not to intervene as long as no lives were lost.
"Then what was my sister's condition when you boarded the ship? Will her life be in danger?"
Xiao Xiami looked at the other people around him and could only bite the bullet and said.
"When we got on the boat, Miss Shao was still being beaten by Wang Hui."
"I was beaten very badly, but fortunately I didn't have any weapons."
"There should be no problem with life."
A smile appeared on Shao Zhongping's face and he said something meaningful.
"That's good."
As for Wang Hui's fate, Shao Zhongping had no need to ask, because he told Xiao Xiami before boarding the ship, and also informed Boss Bai.
"Did the woman say that?"
Xiao Xiami heard the words and replied.
"As soon as Jiang Chuyang died, we were so frightened that we all confessed."
"Just go to their residence and get it back then."
Shao Zhongping couldn't understand the meaning of Xiao Xiami's words.
"Go to their residence?"
Xiao Xiami nodded.
"It's all cash, I dare not deposit it in the bank."
"Some of them have been exchanged for gold and diamonds."
Shao Zhongping thought about it and understood the reason.
When Xiao Xiami saw that Shao Zhongping didn't speak after hearing his answer, he thought he was being suspected and hurriedly opened his mouth to explain.
"The woman is being held next door now. Brother pyotr, you can go and ask about it yourself."
Shao Zhongping raised his hand to stop Xiao Xiami from continuing.
"I can trust you."
Xiao Xiami’s next words were immediately blocked in his mouth.
"Now that we know the place."
"Then we have to leave quickly."
Shao Zhongping slapped his thigh, and the TV commercial "Black and white, black and white, clean, clean... Hong Kong is better than ICAC" came to mind.
ICAC was established less than a year ago, but it has done a lot.
Whether it was the arrest of the lame man or the escape of the four detectives abroad, it was their political achievements, but the atmosphere of the entire police department could not be reversed in such a short period of time.
Thinking of this, Shao Zhongping immediately took Xiao Xiami and others to say goodbye to Luo Yunqian and Jiang Fei, and then drove to Tsim Sha Tsui.
Although the enchanting woman confessed, final confirmation is needed to determine whether it is true.
Except for Tong Weiliang, who was driving, almost everyone in the car closed their eyes.
Shao Zhongping slept in the car for two hours before, but now he is not sleepy anymore.
Light a cigarette and give Tong Weiliang directions from time to time.
The road was difficult to drive at night, and by the time they drove from Tsuen Wan to Tsim Sha Tsui, it was almost five o'clock in the morning.
If it weren't for December, the sky would be white at this time.
Shao Zhongping took Xiao Xiami and the four of them up to the building and took the elevator to the eighth floor.
Looking at the two locked doors of 805, Shao Zhongping tried to twist them with his hands, but there was only a metallic sloshing sound.
"Which one of you knows how to pick a lock?"
Niu Jun walked up from behind.
"I will."
Shao Zhongping looked at Niu Jun who came to him with a simple and honest look, and when he saw Xiao Xiami, they stepped aside without saying a word.
Niu Jun took out a thin wire from his pocket and inserted it into the lock cylinder.
Shao Zhongping looked at Niu Jun's skillful movements and looked sideways at Xiao Xiami.
Xiao Xiami said softly.
"When he first arrived in New York and was poor and had nothing to eat, he learned to work for a while."
Upon hearing this, Shao Zhongping made a joke to Niu Jun.
"I didn't expect you, Niu Jun, to be a special talent."
As soon as he finished his teasing words, Niu Jun had already unscrewed the first anti-theft iron fence.
"At that time, I had no choice but to do it when I was about to starve to death."
The second door becomes even simpler in Niu Jun's hands.
Shao Zhongping didn't even look at his movements, he opened the door in a few seconds.
Before entering, Shao Zhongping gave Niu Jun a thumbs up, and then everyone filed in.
Xiao Xiami glanced at the layout of the entire room, then walked into the bedroom in a familiar manner.
Shao Zhongping quickly followed.
As soon as Xiao Xiami entered, he asked Niu Jun and the other three to lift up the mattress of the bed in the bedroom.
Under the mattress are two tattered cardboard boxes, which are not even sealed.
The four Xiao Xiami did not open the two boxes, but said to Shao Zhongping.
"Brother pyotr, that woman said the rest of the cash is here."
Shao Zhongping, adhering to the attitude of confirming the truth of the matter, walked over and bent down to open the cardboard box.
After folding and opening it, what he saw were black plastic bags stacked one above the other.
When the plastic bag is opened, it is full of red Hong Kong paper, and the piles are neatly tied together with white cotton rope.
Shao Zhongping picked up a pile of paper and counted it to be 100,000 Hong Kong dollars.
There are five neat piles in each black plastic bag, which is 500,000 Hong Kong papers.
Both boxes were stacked up and down, which totaled four million in cash.
Shao Zhongping closed the two boxes and stood up straight.
"Where is the other stuff?"
When Xiao Xiami saw Hong Kong Paper, he breathed a sigh of relief. If the woman told lies in the end, then all the hard work would really be in vain.
He opened a wardrobe as soon as he heard the question.
Finding the cash gave Xiao Xiami great confidence.
I saw him pulling out the three drawers in the middle of the lower half of the wardrobe, and lightly tapping the bottom of the cabinet with the knuckles of his middle and index fingers.
The sound of knocking has a slightly hollow echo.
While Xiao Xiami was groping for the bottom of the cabinet, he said to Shao Zhongping.
"Brother pyotr, there is a compartment at the bottom of the cabinet."
Shao Zhongping gave a soft "hmm" and looked at Xiao Xiami who was half-kneeling on the ground.
After two or three minutes, there were two muffled sounds produced by the collision and friction of wood.
Xiao Xiami took a long breath and pulled out a solid wooden board.
When Shao Zhongping saw Xiao Xiami get out of the way, he walked over, squatted down, reached out and took out the things from the bottom of the cabinet.
When Shao Zhongping opened a black velvet bag, he saw that it was full of round gems, not just the diamonds that Xiao Xiami said.
He doesn't have much research on gems, and it's hard to estimate their value.
Tightening the mouth of the velvet bag, he took out a wooden box from inside.
When I opened the box, I saw ten large yellow croakers lying neatly inside.
