Chapter 231: All Gold Bars!

Qiao Qiao recalled the time in her previous life when she ran away from the small villa that Shen Qingrong had arranged for her. Besides Feng Cheng, there was also an older sister who sent her back and left a deep impression on her.

The older girl gave her a bag of White Rabbit milk candy and had an indescribable smell about her.

Now that I think about it, that smell does seem like Chinese medicine?!

Qiao Qiao was a little excited.

But she wasn't quite sure, could it really be such a coincidence?

She tried hard to recall what the girl in her past life looked like, but it had been so long that she couldn't remember her appearance clearly.

All I remember is that the other person was dressed cool.

She tugged at Tan Qian's hand, and after she squatted down, she asked softly, "Sister Qian, where do you live in Kyoto?"

“The military compound,” Tan Qian replied with a smile.

When he answered, he squatted down so that his line of sight was level with Qiao Qiao's. Looking at the little girl's fair and tender cheeks, he couldn't resist pinching them again.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Qiao became even more uncertain.

Is this really the same person?

With these thoughts in mind, Qiao Qiao returned to the Tan family home.

Before they even reached the Tan family's door, they heard a commotion.

Shen Qingyan's first reaction was to pick Qiao Qiao up.

Dou Yufeng quickened her pace and walked forward, passing through a few miscellaneous trees around the corner, and sure enough, she saw a large number of people gathered in front of her yard.

"What happened?" Dou Yufeng went up to ask.

The crowd that had gathered around heard her voice, turned around and looked over, and then slowly dispersed.

Qiao Qiao and the others then saw two police officers.

Dou Yufeng went over and asked, only to find out the whole story.

It turns out that although Tan Hongwei helped catch the man with the tumor at the village entrance at noon, he is now vehemently denying his guilt, and no evidence has been found. The police officers came to the village to conduct a background check.

Liu Zi was caught this time mainly because he and a group of people committed thefts, and many households in the town were robbed.

The total amount is approximately one thousand.

We've just arrived at the Tan family's place.

Especially after the incident involving Tan Hongming, several police officers made the Tan family a key target for investigation.

The Tan family didn't tell Shen Qingyan about the things Tan Hongming had mentioned before.

Although Tan Hongming later said that he did not intend to kidnap Qiao Qiao to sell her, but rather planned to keep the reward for himself.

But the old man still felt ashamed.

They didn't even consider trying to bail out Tan Hongming; they would accept whatever the police station did.

Because of this, after the family planning officials left, Lin Chunxia harbored resentment, feeling that the eldest son's family was deliberately trying to smear their reputation in order to pocket the reward money. She refused to come over for a meal, and it was Jiang Xinyue who delivered it to them.

Now that the matter has been exposed by several police officers in front of Shen Qingyan, Grandpa Tan, Tan Hongwei, and Dou Yufeng are all embarrassed.

Qiao Qiao, however, whispered something in Shen Qingyan's ear.

Shen Qingyan then noticed the small blue bubble on her forehead.

The little figure crossed his arms, wore sunglasses, held his chubby little chin high, proudly puffed out his chest, and rhythmically patted one of his little feet on the ground.

Its whole body was radiating a dazzling golden light.

Above the little figure's head are several bright red characters: I am so outstanding!

Combined with what the little guy had just whispered in his ear, Shen Qingyan's displeasure vanished completely in that moment.

I felt like my heart was melting.

Both the eldest and third branches of the Tan family cooperated fully with the police station's investigation. In addition, given Old Master Tan's status, the entire village could testify that they only returned to the village late last night.

The police station conducted a routine investigation and dispelled their suspicions about the Tan family.

But when it was Lin Chunxia's turn, she refused to cooperate and stayed inside the closed door.

Qiao Qiao had already activated her five senses to investigate, and she heard the description of filth from the police station earlier. She then whispered to Shen Qingyan.

Shen Qingyan then began negotiating with several police officers from the local police station.

Finally, Shen Qingyan, carrying Qiao Qiao, several police officers, and a group of villagers, went to Liu Zi's house to search again.

Tumor's home was small; besides a red brick house of about 20 square meters, there was only a thatched hut with a latrine.

In their efforts to find the stolen goods, several police officers even stirred up the latrine, but they still couldn't find them.

However, Qiao Qiao casually glanced around and found the stolen goods divided into three parts.

With so many people around, she didn't whisper to Shen Qingyan this time.

Instead, it is represented directly by small bubbles on the top of the head.

In the tiny bubble above, a little person is bouncing around in a simple line drawing of a red brick house, then gesturing in three different directions.

Shen Qingyan quickly located all the stolen goods through her gestures.

Under a red brick under the bed.

This was wrapped in a cloth, and it was full of money, in small pieces, which added up to more than a thousand.

But what stunned everyone present was not this.

It was stolen goods hidden in an extremely secret location.

This hidden corner is located between the two large horizontal beams in the southwest corner of the house.

These two large horizontal beams are about as thick as a typical household washbasin. They have two hollow sections inside. If you take out a protruding piece of wood from the bottom of the beam, you can see what's inside.

Following Shen Qingyan's instructions, several police officers used tables and chairs to reach for the cork, and when they pulled it out, they were all dumbfounded.

It's full of gold bars!

They took them all out and counted them; there were twenty of them, each weighing five hundred grams.

Everyone was stunned.

The police officers' expressions turned serious.

I immediately recalled a major robbery and murder case that happened in the neighboring city two months ago. The victim was a businessman who had come from the south and was in the gold business.

He brought a safe to Taipei, apparently to do some business.

However, they were robbed on the street, and the entire family of three, including a two-year-old child, was killed.

This case involves a huge amount of money and is extremely serious in nature, so it has received high attention from higher authorities.

Police suspect that the bodyguard hired by the boss colluded with outsiders to commit murder and robbery.

However, after more than two months of investigation, no important clues have been found. The most important clue is that the stolen goods have disappeared.

Police arrested two of the suspects, but because the stolen goods have not been found, the two have refused to confess or reveal the identities of other involved individuals.

As a result, two months have passed and the case remains stalled.

Unexpectedly, the stolen goods were hidden in the tumor.

Tumor usually steals chickens and dogs, and has done a lot of bad things. He has been to the police station and detained many times.

But no one ever associated him with such a major case.
