"Mouse Qiang, whose full name is Zhang Jiaqiang, came to the United States in 1960 and has no relatives in the United States."
So no one called the police when someone died.
Someone deliberately covered it up. A human life can disappear so completely. The person died in 1967. It was not until 1986 that Xia Xiaolan came to the United States to look for Xu Zhongyi that the person's death was dug up.
She also doesn't sympathize with Mouse Qiang. After arriving in the United States, this person has no business. He belongs to a local gang member in San Francisco and often engages in extortion. Even after 19 years, some old Chinese in San Francisco still remember how annoying "Mouse Qiang" is. .
The San Francisco police found the evidence of the deceased and came up with a new inference: Mouse Qiang saw Cai Qiang intentionally burglary or robbed, and was discovered by Xu Zhongyi. Xu Zhongyi missed and seriously injured him in the fight with Mouse Qiang. During his illegal stay in the United States, he dared not let the police intervene. He simply set fire to cover up the crime, and then fled overnight with his wife and children, and disappeared in San Francisco ever since.
It sounds like the logic seems to be a lot smoother.
Xia Xiaolan still felt something strange.
"Should we investigate Zhang Jiaqiang's accomplices back then?"
She proposed to the San Francisco police, but the other party said that they had checked it.
There is a large Chinese population in San Francisco. They are afraid of being bullied in the United States, so they form fellow gangs based on geographical characteristics. One person commits a crime and everyone covers it up. Those who betray the gang should not have a good life. Instead, they will take the blame and their families will be taken care of. There is no way to investigate the old case 19 years later. Who knows why Zhang Jiaqiang went to Xu Zhongyi's rented house back then. Theft and robbery are already the most logical guesses.
As for Zhang Jiaqiang's associates?
It¡¯s not appropriate to be called an ¡°accomplice¡±. I can only say that Zhang Jiaqiang was really close to some people 20 years ago, but those people either killed themselves early and became serious criminals in custody, or they have already changed their hands. Became a legal tax-paying U.S. citizen.
Without evidence, what can be done to such a decent American citizen? The San Francisco police can only conduct routine interviews, and even detention is impossible.
Grandma Yu couldn't accept it, and Xia Xiaolan also felt it was perfunctory.
But Wen Manni also said that it can only go so far for the time being.
"Unless Mr. Xu himself can be found, only he, the client, will know what happened that year. If it was really Mr. Xu's mistake, I am willing to be his defense lawyer and defend him for misdemeanor or even innocence!"
Zhang Jiaqiang was a gang member, and the San Francisco police all concluded that the robbery failed and he was killed by accident. Wen Manni felt that the situation was still very favorable for Xu Zhongyi.
But now, we need to find Xu Zhongyi!
Is it because he was afraid of being caught, hid with his wife and children for 20 years, and lived in a certain place in the United States with a different name, or was there another accident after the murder?
It is impossible to justify not contacting the country for 19 years.
Wen Manni couldn't figure it out, Grandma Yu didn't believe the deduction of the San Francisco police:
"How could Zhong Yi do such a thing! If he accidentally kills someone, he will hide for 20 years? As long as the property he brought to the United States is not lost, he can still change his name and obtain his identity."
Twenty years ago, the way to obtain an American identity was not as strict as it is today. Grandma Yu believed in her son's kindness and his IQ.
Xu Zhongyi was 28 years old when he went abroad, he was a husband and a father, not a teenage boy!
Xia Xiaolan felt that Grandma Yu was right.
As long as the property is not lost, there is always money close by What if it is lost?
"We listened to Connie, and let the San Francisco police continue to search. Newspapers and TV reports are also effective. Otherwise, how could someone come to the door to provide clues to explain the identity of Mouse Qiang? Now we have to calm down. No news is good news, and Xu is not the one who died. Uncle, things will be easier!"
Even if the speculation of the San Francisco police is true, Xu Zhongyi's charges can be lightened and defended. The San Francisco police can really find someone and save Xia Xiaolan's effort.
In addition to the police, Xia Xiaolan also pinned her hopes on TV stations and newspapers.
And to find Jim Benfield in Los Angeles.
Just two days after the identity of the deceased was confirmed, Du Zhaohui finally heard back from Hong Kong:
"I haven't met the buyer in Hong Kong. This buyer is unwilling to reveal his identity, but through a middleman, the buyer is willing to show me the vase for half an hour. Is this okay?"
Du Zhaohui felt very humiliated.
The first time Xia Xiaolan asked him for help, he couldn't handle it!
Didn't find a buyer?
It doesn't seem to be too important now, and Xia Xiaolan didn't expect Jim to come first.??The seller is Benfield.
But it's also nice to see the bottle in person.
"Wait a minute!"
Xia Xiaolan asked Grandma Yu, and Grandma Yu told her the mark:
"Touch the inside of the bottle mouth, two inches down, there are three uneven spots, which cannot be seen with the eyes, so you have to reach in and touch them with your hands."
Xia Xiaolan told Du Zhaohui in the original words:
"I have to trouble you again, I wonder if the buyer will agree to this request?"
"No problem, it's a trivial matter. Have you touched it? It's the vase you're looking for? You wait for my good news, and I'll call you in a few minutes!"
Du Zhaohui's cowhide blew loudly.
When I hung up the phone, my face turned green.
It was not easy for him to pretend that he liked the vase very much. Finally, Master Qiu nodded to help, and asked the mysterious buyer for a vase for him to admire.
Lord Qiu didn't show up from the beginning to the end. It was the man named Chai Hai who contacted Du Zhaohui.
Now let him tell Chai Hai that just looking at it is not enough, he has to touch the vase again?
With his hands, someone can touch a woman's smooth skin, a cigar, a check, or even a gun barrel, and even an antique vase This is simply too perverted!
Du Zhaohui walked out of the room, bit the bullet and asked Chai Hai to play with it.
Chai Hai looked at him as if he was looking at a pervert.
If he is a cultural person who knows how to play with vases, can Chai Hai not know the details of Du Zhaohui?
Not to mention Du Zhaohui, even Du Ershao, who studied business in the UK and returned to Hong Kong, and participated in two private auctions organized by Mr. Qiu, doesn't know how to appreciate antiques at all¡ªthe Du family can't even act arty, okay?
"Young Master Du, you can play with it, but porcelain is quite delicate after years of vicissitudes, please handle it with care. If it is broken, Master Qiu will not be able to explain it to the buyer. The other party is only willing to sell it for the sake of Master Qiu. The vase is on loan."
After Chai Hai explained carefully, he had someone remove the wooden box protection, and carefully placed the vase on the table.
The photo is in black and white. Du Zhaohui thought it was something precious, but at first glance it looked like a blue vase, so small that he could only put two fingers into it.
Wearing extremely thin gloves, Du Zhaohui stretched out his fingers to touch the vase unceremoniously. Chai Hai was afraid that he would drop the bottle, so he didn't blink at him. , really sharp eyes - how did Chai Hai know that Du Zhaohui touched the small bump, it is really not obvious, and he will ignore it if he is not careful!
So this is the bottle Xia Xiaolan was looking for. Du Zhaohui was happier than signing an order of tens of millions at this moment! (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
