Chapter 2822 (1/2)
Chapter 943 - A Strange Change!
Old Liu didn't know what was going on, but Ji Feng had told him before that he would find a way to get the source of the blackstone from the captain's mouth. Regardless of the reason or the method, as long as he could get accurate information, it didn't matter.
Therefore, Old Liu's mind was racing from the very beginning. Ji Feng did not know how much the s.h.i.+p's captain knew, so everything depended on Old Liu's ability.
And now, it was a good opportunity!
Even a fool would be able to tell that the captain didn't want the middle-aged woman to be present. Either he was afraid that this matter would involve the woman, or he was afraid that the middle-aged woman would reveal something.
With his years of experience as a police officer, Old Liu could tell at a glance that the captain was worried that this middle-aged woman would say something he shouldn't have said!
Therefore, Old Liu came up with a plan to scare the captain. In reality, his words were meant for the middle-aged woman. He believed that if these two people were truly husband and wife, then the middle-aged woman would definitely be worried if she knew that her husband was going to jail.
Sure enough!
When the captain's wife heard Old Liu say that her husband might actually go to jail, she couldn't help but feel anxious.
”Officers, what is going on? Why is my husband in prison?!”
”Officer!”
The captain interrupted his wife and said, ”You can't accuse me wrongly. I really didn't steal anything from others. I've already said what I needed to say. That's all I know …”
Old Liu said, ”In that case, please come back with us to the police station to a.s.sist in the investigation. That rich young master said that he spent one hundred thousand to buy the black stone from you. If it is determined that you stole it, then the value of the black stone is enough for you to be sentenced to death!”
”Ah!?”
The captain and the middle-aged woman were both surprised. Was he going to be sentenced to death?
”Officer, you must be mistaken, how could my husband steal from someone else?” The captain's wife was immediately frightened. She hurriedly said, ”My husband has always been an honest man. He would never do such a thing!”
”It doesn't matter whether he did it or not, nor does it matter if the person who reported it did it. We have to go through investigation and gathering evidence before we can confirm it!” Old Liu said, ”So, now, please ask your husband to come back with us to a.s.sist in the investigation!”
How could the captain's wife be willing to let her husband be taken away?
She quickly said, ”No, that's impossible! Officer, did you just use that black stone? Was it sold to that young man that day? ”
”That's right!”
Old Liu nodded and said, ”It's that piece. Now that it's gone, only your husband and the reporter know about the existence of that rock. No one else knows, so right now your husband is the most suspicious.
”This is impossible!”
Before Old Liu could finish his words, the captain's wife interrupted him and said, ”Our Old Liu will never steal anything.”
Ji Feng suddenly asked, ”How can you be so sure?”
”Because...”
”Enough!”
He looked at Old Liu and the others, and braced himself to say, ”Officers, you can all suspect me, but I still say the same thing, I have not stolen anything before, I said it before, I say it now, and I will say it again!”
Old Liu could not help but be taken aback. With his experience, was the captain acting like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water? What exactly was that thing, or the reason behind it, that made the captain so determined to kill him?
Ji Feng also frowned. The captain had actually become tough?!
He stared at the captain, but what he saw on the captain's face was viciousness and an unwillingness.
Ji Feng's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the captain knew the value of Alpha Ore?
It was obviously wrong!
If the captain really knew the value of the Alpha Ore, he would not be like this. He would definitely be asking for it, or he would have long since hidden himself.
What could that be?
At this time, Ji Feng's gaze landed on the captain's wife. She had an anxious expression on her face as she gave the captain many looks. However, she was all stared back at by the captain.
Ugh!
It seemed like she did not support the captain's decision. However, she was not as domineering as the captain, and was unable to be his master.
Ji Feng memorized it.
”Since that's the case, please come with us!” Since the captain was already so unyielding, Old Liu naturally had to be unyielding as well. Otherwise, he would only make the captain even more unyielding.
