Chapter 175 The 175th Day of Not Running Away...

“Fengzi, we believe you if you say you didn’t do it, but the fact that the police found the drugs is undeniable.”

Chen Bo looked at Lin Qingfeng, his emotions a jumble: "What exactly happened? If you say you didn't do it, then who framed you?"

Lin Qingfeng stared blankly for a long time before saying, "Boss Wang, that Boss Wang pointed me in the right direction. I... I thought it was just smuggling, I didn't expect it to be drug trafficking."

Lin Qingfeng isn't stupid.

He knew perfectly well that people wouldn't easily take on a business that could earn him millions in six months.

He thought it was just smuggling, or some defective product from somewhere, never imagining that they were trying to rip him off.

"Which Mr. Wang? Explain clearly. If you cooperate with the police, you might get a lighter sentence."

Chen Bozheng advised.

Lin Qingfeng hadn't dared to say anything before, but he trusted Chen Bozheng and told him everything he knew.

Chen Bo and the monk glanced at the police officer beside them; needless to say, the officer would definitely take note.

The visit was only for half an hour. Before leaving, Chen Bo said to Lin Qingfeng, "Don't worry about your aunt and your younger brother and sister while you're inside. I'll take good care of them."

"Brother Zheng."

Lin Qingfeng looked at Chen Bozheng with trembling lips and red eyes.

Looking at him like this, Chen Bo felt increasingly uncomfortable.

"Alright, time's up. We can talk about this another time," the prison guard urged.

Chen Bozheng and the monk walked out of the visiting room, both of them looking somewhat dejected. Wang Hui walked over and glanced at Chen Bozheng.

Chen Bo had just sent the monk away when he walked to the window with Wang Hui. He lit a cigarette for Wang Hui with a lighter. "Captain Wang, was the information Fengzi gave you helpful?"

Wang Hui took a drag of his cigarette and exhaled it out the window. "We've already found out what he was talking about."

Chen Bozheng's expression changed slightly. "Did Fengzi actually traffic drugs?"

Wang Hui said meaningfully, "Boss Chen, no one can say for sure about these things. He says he doesn't know, but who knows if he actually does? Besides, Boss Wang has disappeared without a trace. We issued an arrest warrant, but we still haven't caught him. Lin Qingfeng's other men all say that he handled the sale of the goods, and no one knew that there were drugs hidden in them. Tell me, if the court saw this situation, what would they say?"

Chen Bo's Adam's apple bobbed as he put one hand in his pocket.

He pressed his hand against the wall. "Fengzi would never deal drugs. He's not stupid. He's not really short of money. He just wants to make a lot of money to prove himself. Drug dealing may seem very profitable, but if you get caught, you'll be shot. How could he do something like that!"

Wang Hui patted Chen Bozheng on the shoulder, "It's no use telling me this. Really, if you have a way, why don't you help find that Boss Wang and catch that person? Only then can we definitively say whether Lin Qingfeng is innocent or not!"

The monk was squatting by the car door, his brows furrowed. When he saw Chen Bo walking out of the police station, he quickly stood up and went to greet him.

Chen Bo made a gesture and opened the car door, "Let's talk on the way."

The car left the police station gate.

Second floor of Haidian District Public Security Bureau.

Wang Hui squinted at the car. A junior policeman next to him came over and asked, "Captain Wang, do you suspect they're also involved in this drug trafficking case? Should we have someone keep an eye on them?"

Wang Hui waved his hand: "No need, their situations have already been investigated, they're clean. I just feel that Chen Bozheng looks a bit familiar."

"Looks familiar?" the young policeman wondered, stroking his chin. "Isn't that the fugitive from before?"

Wang Hui laughed out loud and patted the young policeman's hat. "You really have a wild imagination. If he were a fugitive, would I not remember him?"

The young policeman smiled innocently, "That's true. Your memory is famous throughout Beijing, no, throughout the whole country. You have a photographic memory."

"That's a bit of an exaggeration. You want to ask me for leave?" Wang Hui joked, his eyes sweeping over the colorful wooden-framed mirror hanging on the wall.

The reflection in the mirror flashed by, and Wang Hui's gaze swept over it, but then he seemed to realize something and looked away.

"Ask Lin Zhiyong and Wang Jianquan to help search for this Wang Xinghai?"

The monk looked at the wanted poster Chen Bozheng threw at him, his gaze lingering on the man with a mole between his eyebrows in the photo. "If the police can't find him, can we?"

"How many police officers are there?" Chen Bozheng said calmly as he drove, gripping the steering wheel. "They have so many cases on their hands, how can they possibly search them all? I think the police arrested Fengzi suddenly, which means they had laid an ambush beforehand. They must have arranged for people to block off major roads. In that case, Wang Xinghai might still be in Beijing!"

There was a traffic light ahead. Chen Bo was stepping on the brakes to stop the car when he turned to look at the monk: "Lin Zhiyong knows a lot of people, so ask their brothers and friends to help look for him. Maybe they can find some clues. If we can catch him, I'll personally give 100,000 yuan. If you provide any useful information or clues, I'll give you 1,000 yuan for each one!"

The monk understood. "Brother, don't worry, leave this to me."

Chen Bozheng was naturally reassured about the monk.

I dare not speak of other things, but the monks have always done a very good job with these kinds of meticulous matters.

When Liu Yan learned about this, she also said she wanted to help, and even complained that the monks weren't being fair. "Fengzi calls me 'sister' after all. Since something like this has happened, I have to do my part."

Liu Yan knows many people, and most of them are women, which can fill the gaps in Lin Zhiyong's network of contacts.

As the saying goes, misfortunes never come singly.

It was at this very moment that Hua Lingfeng delivered bad news to Chen Bozheng: "Wang Xun acquired that plot of land nearby, which is over 10,000 square meters."

Chen Bo squinted: "That piece of land isn't cheap now. Does Wang Xun have that much money?"

Land prices have risen this year. That piece of land is considered a land king, costing at least 1,000 yuan per square meter. With over 10,000 square meters, it means that just acquiring the land would cost over 10 million yuan.

Hua Lingfeng said in a low voice, "He took out a loan from the bank, using his previous house as collateral to get the money to buy land."

Chen Bozheng frowned: "His previous land wasn't even finished yet, and he can mortgage that?!"

Hua Lingfeng was also unhappy about this and felt annoyed.

They couldn't get any bank loans at all in Jingyun Community. After Jingyang Community was forced to take over, it was these few people who came up with the money to continue building the houses.

They did consider taking out a loan from a bank, but the bank looked down on them and refused to lend them money.

If banks treat everyone this way, then there's nothing to say.

But Wang Xun's situation is clearly that the bank has flooded the market with money, mortgaging unfinished houses to borrow money to buy land. What is this? It's like getting something for nothing.

Hua Lingfeng's gritted teeth reached their peak when he saw Wang Xun appear with General Manager Xiao from the office building.

Chen Bozheng's gaze lingered on Wang Xun, who was dressed in a suit and exuded confidence, before shifting to President Xiao.

"Mr. Chen, you're here today?" Mr. Xiao asked with a polite smile.

Chen Bo nodded to President Xiao, "Yes, you just got back?"

Mr. Xiao said, "No, I came back a few days ago. Today, Mr. Wang invited me to see the land they just bought. We just finished looking at it and passed by your place. We saw your car parked outside, so we came in to see if you were there."
