Chapter 1769: Death of Greed

At 8 a.m. the next day, at the office of the Special Investigation Group of the Xiangjiang Police Department.

Wu Xiumin handed over the interrogation report to Zhao Yu. Through the interrogation last night, the four confessed to the crimes of murdering Fan Bowei and Huang Lican, attacking the guards at the container yard, and stealing banknotes.

It turned out that these four people were independent traffickers from Mahazaya, and they were subordinates of a famous drug lord in Mahazaya. They came to Xiangjiang this time for the dollar bills hidden in the bronze Buddha.

The whole process of this crime can be traced back to a coup that happened in Mahazaya not long ago.

Mahazaya is an independent archipelagic country in Southeast Asia. Because of its special geographical location, many local islands have affairs with independent dealers from all over the world. It has always been known as the Golden Triangle of the Sea. Every year, a large number of unique products come from out there.

Moreover, the local government is notorious for long-term complicity with independent peddlers.

However, not long ago, Mahazaya's reformist faction suddenly emerged and launched a coup in his capital, overthrowing the old faction in one fell swoop and establishing a new government.

Afterwards, the new government was determined to get rid of the old shame, and quickly joined forces with multiple parties to carry out an unprecedented joint campaign against the drug lords hiding in Mahazaya.

Among them, there was a man named Po Luo Ahong, who was the leader of the drug lords there. He had a premonition that his situation was over. In order to preserve his strength, he cast all the drug funds he had accumulated over the years into the bronze Buddha, and sent the bronze Buddha Arrived in Xiangjiang.

Afterwards, he began to take his family members to smuggle to Xiangjiang, found the bronze Buddha, and continued to live the life of a rich man.

However, before he could get out of his body, the coalition army hit his old lair. He and his family members all died in that campaign, but these four subordinates survived by luck.

The four people got together to discuss and thought that this was an excellent opportunity to make a fortune. As long as they could find the four Buddha statues, they could get money that they could not spend in ten lifetimes.

However, they were just ordinary subordinates of Polo Ahong. Although they participated in the transfer of banknotes and knew that the Buddha statues were sent to Xiangjiang, they didn't know where those Buddha statues were installed or where they were transported.

Moreover, the most troublesome thing is that Polo Ahong must have other men who survived, and those people will also go to the attention of the Buddha statue, so they must strike while the iron is hot and act as soon as possible.

So, after all the hard work, the four people finally smuggled to Xiangjiang.

But,

When they went to the Xiangjiang Freight Terminal, they were dumbfounded. They didn't know where the Buddha statues were loaded with so many containers.

They had no choice but to calm down and inquire step by step.

In the end, through many inquiries, the four finally got further information. They learned that Fan Bowei, director of the cargo department of the customs, could help them find the location of the Buddha statue, and that Huang Lican from the container yard at the terminal could help them transfer banknotes at the terminal.

At first, they just wanted to use the simplest method to hold Fan Bowei and Huang Lican hostage by force at the same time, coercing them to find the location of the Buddha statue and transfer the contents of the Buddha statue.

However, these four people are quite thoughtful. They know that it will not be possible to transfer the banknotes in the Buddha statue in a short while. If they just coerce these two people, it will be easy to reveal their secrets.

Therefore, as early as that time, they had already launched a murderous plan, not wanting to leave a living.

However, they quickly realized that it would not do to kill the person, because after the killing, the police would immediately investigate the work of the deceased and quickly turn their attention to the customs or the dock.

In that way, they won't be able to steal chickens and lose money instead.

So, at a critical moment, one of the people named Mi Yang suddenly had an idea and came up with the idea of ​​Gumantong.

Because, among the Gumantong serial murder cases, two of them happened in Mahazaya, so their memories are still fresh and very deep.

Mi Yang believes that if they can disguise the murder scene as a Gumantong murder case, they can divert the attention of the police, so as to make a difference.

Moreover, when they investigated Huang Lican, they also found that Huang Lican had the habit of making offerings to Gumantong, which they could just use to achieve their own goals.

Miyang's idea was immediately unanimously approved by everyone, so a murder case of pretending to be Gumantong happened like this!

Not to mention, if Zhao Yu hadn't discovered the truth in the end and grasped the key points of the case, he might have caught their way.

At that time, they had found the location of the container containing the Buddha statue through the system inquiry conducted by Fan Bowei, and then used Huang Lican's pass to go all the way to Pier 6 without hindrance.

Moreover, they had anticipated in advance that they would not be able to carry the Buddha statue together, so they prepared cutting tools in advance to cut the Buddha statue.

It's just that they still overlooked the crucial point in the end, that is their—greed!

According to the confession of the criminals, it only took them more than 20 minutes to cut open a Buddha statue and take away the banknotes inside.

If they could stop in time and drive the car away at that time, they could just escape the siege of Zhao Yu and others.

It's a pity that people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants. Looking at the pickup truck that was not yet full, the four of them hardly hesitated, and then started cutting the second Buddha statue...

In the end, it was their greed that led to their final demise. When they realized it again, they would have regretted it!

"Awesome, amazing!" At this time, Supervisor Cheng Jiajun came to the office and praised everyone in Zhao Yu, "You really deserve to be a detective!

"That means I met you, otherwise, we would be in big trouble!

"Hahaha...it's all right now," Inspector Cheng said calmly, "Not only did it prove that the two cases had nothing to do with the Gumantong murder case, but it also helped us solve a major smuggling case worth hundreds of millions!

"Detective Zhao, you really deserve the credit! Tomorrow night, we will hold a press conference and a celebration party at the police station, and then the Chief Superintendent will also..."

Zhao Yu was not in the mood to listen to Supervisor Cheng's vernacular, so he walked up to the whiteboard and turned his gaze to the third whiteboard.

Through the interrogation of the four criminals, he now knows that Mia's death has nothing to do with them!

These four people claim that they have no idea who Mia is?

Moreover, that night, they had been preparing for the Buddha statue, and they had no energy to pay attention to other things.

Therefore, Mia's death should have nothing to do with these two imitation Gumanthong murders.

In this case……

Zhao Yu frowned tightly, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart. If Mia's death really had nothing to do with these two cases, then... what else could he have died for?

Could it be...

Could it be...

Suddenly, Zhao Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly recalled the conversation he had with Mia. At that time, Zhao Yu gave him some directions for investigating the case.

Zhao Yu could still remember that Mia's brows stretched after listening, as if she had thought of something.

Could it be... the cause of his death is related to the real Gumantong murder case! ! ?
