Major Crimes Unit Starts with Police Academy Students

For thefts exceeding 2,000 yuan, the sentence is three years imprisonment; for thefts under 100,000 yuan, the sentence is three to ten years imprisonment; and for thefts under 500,000 yuan, the sentence is ten years or more imprisonment.

Do the math yourself, that's a hundred million! I bet you're going to spend the rest of your life in jail.

If you confess and hand over the diamonds, you might get a reduced sentence. It's up to you."

Looking at the driver's condition, Chen Xincheng felt there was no need to continue warning him.

Just look at the driver's legs; from the moment he entered the interrogation room, they've been shaking like a tractor engine. It's likely his first time committing a crime and his first time being arrested.

But some people commit crimes involving 100 million yuan on their very first offense, which is truly astonishing.

Meanwhile, outside the interrogation room and inside the police station's office area, a huge uproar ensued.

Xia Jie and Yang Shu retrieved all the surveillance footage from the moment the driver left the pawnshop.

They found no trace of the diamonds, and the driver had not interacted with anyone else or exhibited any other unusual behavior.

They investigated the driver's bank accounts again, but found nothing unusual, which was strange.

Left with no other option, Xia Jie went to the interrogation room to inform Chen Xincheng and the others inside.

Xia Jie then opened the interrogation room door, leaned close to Chen Xincheng's ear, and whispered a few words.

Chen Xincheng was immediately stunned and grabbed Wu Mingcheng, who was sitting in his seat, and hurriedly walked out of the interrogation room.

Did Wang Shi lie? (No. 372)

After Chen Xincheng and Wu Mingcheng came out, Chen Xincheng asked in shock,

"What? Xiaojie, are you sure?"

Xia Jie also looked puzzled and said,

"Yes, Officer Chen, from the time he left the pawn shop to the high-speed rail station, there are all the surveillance records of this guy."

But we didn't find any trace of the diamond on him.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Mingcheng was equally surprised. What? This shouldn't be happening either.

Did they arrest the wrong person? Or is there another thief?

Wang Shouyi, Cheng Hao, and Gao Chao, who were behind the mirror, saw Chen Xincheng and the others rushing out and realized that something unexpected must have happened.

So they quickly came out as well.

Wang Shouyi saw them in the corridor and asked,

"Xiaojie, Xincheng, Mingcheng, what's going on? Why did you stop the interrogation?"

Chen Xincheng told Wang Shouyi and the other two what Xia Jie had found out.

The three of them exclaimed in surprise.

"Impossible, how is this possible?"

This is terrible; the major case we just solved has now reached a stalemate.

At this point, Gao Chao guessed,

"Do you think it's possible that this guy hid the thing somewhere along the way?"

Then he went to another place to lay low, and once the storm had passed, he secretly sneaked back to Zhuzhou City to retrieve the diamonds.”

Xia Jie denied it.

"Director Gao, your guess is unlikely. He was basically under surveillance the whole time; he simply didn't have time to plan this."

As soon as Xia Jie spoke, people fell into deep thought again.

Cheng Hao paused, then suddenly realized something, and said,

"Chief, there's another possibility, if the driver wasn't lying."

There's only one possibility then: either the pawnshop owner, Wang Shi, is lying,

There might not be any diamonds in the safe at all; the sixty-carat diamond might be something she made up out of thin air.

As soon as Cheng Hao spoke, Wang Shouyi, Gao Chao, and the others nodded in agreement.

This seems to be the only reasonable explanation under the current circumstances.

Wang Shouyi then said...

“Bring Wang Shi, the owner of the pawnshop, back and ask him,”

However, Wu Mingcheng, who was standing to the side, did not agree with Cheng Hao and Wang Shouyi's conclusions.

He thought to himself, "The main reason is that Wang Shi has no reason to lie to them."

Even if he reports it to the police, the diamonds can't be recovered, and the police won't compensate him for his loss, so what's the point?

Surely we can't have made such a big fuss just to play a trick on them?

However, he didn't say anything at this moment, but first asked Wang Shi to say something.

Soon, Wang Shi, the owner of the pawnshop, was taken to the interrogation room of Jiulihe Police Station by a phone call.

However, the situation has completely changed now; he has gone from being a victim to a suspect.

At this moment, Gao Chao decided to take matters into his own hands, with Wu Mingcheng and Li Dawei still sitting beside him.

At this moment, Gao Chao, holding his forehead, abandoned his previous politeness and asked directly,

"Mr. Wang, I have a very serious question for you: are you sure you put the diamonds in the safe?"

In the current situation, if Wang Shi is lying, it would constitute fraud, a crime as serious as the driver's attempted theft.

At this moment, Wang Shi was completely stunned by Gao Chao's question, frozen in place.

He said with great helplessness,

"No, Officer Tongzhi, why would you ask me such a question?"

I swear to God, I really did put the diamonds in a safe, absolutely!"

Gao Chao, suppressing his anger, gave a bitter laugh and said,

"However, we have already questioned your driver, and he insists that no diamonds were found in your safe."

· ·······Request flowers····· ······

So, one of you must be lying, but I hope it's not you, Mr. Wang.”

At this moment, Wang Shouyi, behind the mirror, felt a pang of worry. A case involving 100 million yuan might suddenly turn into a fraud case.

While the driver did participate in the theft, if, as he claims, he didn't find diamonds after cutting open the safe with an oxygen cutter, then the case becomes somewhat complicated.

Either this 60-carat diamond doesn't exist, or Wang Shi himself hid it in a secret place.

....... ...... 0

Either way, it would be a difficult problem for the Jiulihe Police Station.

To continue solving the puzzle, they will need to expend even more effort.

I thought I'd get to eat chicken, but it turned out the chicken ran away, leaving only chicken feathers everywhere.

Wang Shi's expression changed as quickly as turning the pages of a book.

"If you police don't believe me, then why should I, the victim, report this to the police?"

You police officers are incapable of solving the case yourselves, yet now you're suspecting me, the victim?

I'm about to face a deficit of nearly 100 million yuan. Do you have any conscience at all?

Upon hearing this, Gao Chao slammed his hand on the table and said...

"How can you talk like that? Aren't we investigating right now?"

Wang Shi then persisted, saying...

"So what did you find out? In the end, you found nothing at all."

My diamond, worth 100 million, is gone just like that. What am I going to do if someone comes to redeem it?

"What's the point of us taxpayers paying so much money every year to support you police officers?"

At this moment, Wang Shi's excited words made Gao Chao, who was sitting opposite him, feel extremely uncomfortable.

They thought they had gotten a bargain and could easily solve the case, but things didn't go as planned.

Chapter 373 Did it grow legs and run away on its own?

Meanwhile, during the climax of Wang Shi's interrogation, Wu Mingcheng carefully observed Wang Shi's expression and reactions. He noticed that Wang Shi didn't seem to be lying.

At that moment, he wondered curiously, where did that sixty-carat diamond go? Had it really vanished into thin air?

At this point, the case had reached a dead end.

After the interrogation concluded, Wang Shouyi convened everyone in the office area for a discussion of the case, which had become exceptionally complex.

Gao Chao, who had just interrogated Wang Shi, spoke first.

"Chief, I don't think Wang Shi is lying,"

Xia Jie also said,

"However, the driver's testimony does match that of '760'."
