Chapter 1935: Search Thoroughly
“The car was damaged. When we went to report the accident at the police station, we heard that Captain Zhou was going to visit the Wu family, so we followed him.”
“So that’s how it went.”
It was fine as long as these policemen had not been called on by Nangong Nuannuan. After all, she liked Nangong Nuannuan very much. If it was revealed that Nuannuan was the one who had called upon these aggressive policemen to deal with their family, Wu Pingting would definitely not know how to take it.
Zhou Wei retrieved a search warrant from his document bag and said, “Elder Wu, we’re sorry to disturb you, but your eldest son, Wu Jingzhong, is involved in a case we’re investigating. He’s been arrested by the Ministry of Justice. We’ve been ordered to collect evidence from the Wu family residence, and this is our search warrant. Don’t worry, we’ll do a thorough search and ensure we don’t damage any of your belongings. We’re here on official business, so your cooperation would be much appreciated.”
Elder Wu took the search warrant out of Zhou Wei’s hand, his expression not changing. He glanced at it and said, “I don’t know what my son has done that’s bad enough to require a search warrant. Even if he’s done something terrible, shouldn’t the Ministry of Justice be here, not you people?”
Zhou Wei smiled slightly. “Hehe, Elder Wu, allow me to explain the situation. Governor Wu is indeed an official of Sea District and has a very highest-ranking position. Right now, this matter is still being investigated, and there are many suspects. We have not gathered nearly enough evidence to arrest anyone just yet. If he’s been arrested, then it must be because the people from the administrative department have already intervened. However, at this moment, they’re still gathering evidence. Elder Wu, I’m just a minor criminal police captain. Please help me. If you need anything, you can look for our chief or vice-chief Li.”
Zhou Wei saying that made it obvious that he did not want to entertain Elder Wu anymore. Given that Elder Wu himself had gone through many hardships, he was understanding and knew what Zhou Wei was trying to convey through his words.
He moved aside slightly and gestured. “Please”.
“Go in, and search carefully. Don’t miss an inch of this place.”
Once Zhou Wei entered the house, he stood at the door and gave orders to the police officers who were filing in after him.
“Yes.”
Upon receiving their instructions, the police officers involved in the search collectively responded affirmatively. They proceeded to search every corner of the first floor.
Seeing that a large group of people had entered and that there was no one else standing outside the door, Elder Wu, who had been standing uprightly and proudly, suddenly slouched over.
“Grandfather!”
Wu Zongyang called out and quickly stabilized Elder Wu.
Nangong Nuannuan glanced at Elder Wu’s heart and saw that it was starting to accumulate blood again. However, it was not to the point where his life was in danger yet—so she chose to delay acting on it. After all, outsiders were still present.
Elder Wu waved his hand and instructed Wu Zongyang, “Hurry up and call your father and your aunt.”
“Okay.”
Just as Wu Zongyang was about to make the call, the gate to the Wu residence opened. A car drove in and stopped in front of everyone.
Two people got out of the car: Wu Jingcheng and Wu Jingmin.
“Dad!”
The two of them rushed to Elder Wu’s side and asked nervously, “Are you okay?”
“Jingcheng, I know your brother well. I would risk my life to vouch for him because I know he would never do anything to let down the people of Sea District. It has to be because he’s too righteous, or that he’s in someone’s way, so they’re trying to get rid of him. Hurry up and go to the executive hall to find the 12th Officer and ask for his help. You must let the Ministry of Justice investigate your brother’s case. You must not let your brother suffer injustice.”
“Dad, don’t worry. Tang Ya left for Emperor District two days ago. She told me herself that the people from the Ministry of Justice took her away. Since Pingting was still sick back then, I was afraid that you wouldn’t be able to bear a double whammy, so I didn’t tell you.”
