Chapter 2221: They Are Not Mine
If it was really done by Zhou Litao, he wouldn’t be surprised at all because he was highly likely to be the mastermind among the suspects.
Although it could easily arouse suspicion that he attacked Song Wenxuan at this key moment because of his position in the government and his obvious motive, they didn’t care much about it. As long as there was no evidence, they would be fine. They were willing to do anything for power, and they were confident that they would be safe.
However, it didn’t just depend on them whether they would end up in trouble. Their luck and fate also played a role in this case.
Without delay, Xiong Xingyi did his job with his people. He went there in person, because Zhou Litao was a senior official after all, and common policemen might not be able to deal with him.
Although his status was much lower than Zhou Litao’s, he had the power to do a search and Song Wenxuan supported him, so he wouldn’t be weak.
Before they came, Gu Ning didn’t leave. She needed to stay to see whether Zhou Litao would go to the study room during this time. If he found the illegal stuff, he might get rid of it before the police came. In that case, the police might find nothing after they came and Zhou Litao would be mad and alert. It would cause Song Wenxuan trouble.
In the meanwhile, Gu Ning told K to watch the surveillance cameras in case she was caught by them.
Luckily, she wasn’t and Zhou Litao didn’t go to the study before Xiong Xingyi and the others came, so the illegal stuff was still there.
When Xiong Xingyi suddenly visited his home, Zhou Litao was surprised. The first idea that appeared in Zhou Litao’s mind was that the fact that he had paid the gunman to kill Song Wenxuan was exposed and Song Wenxuan sent Xiong Xingyi to arrest him. However, Zhou Litao didn’t think it was possible. He refused to believe that he was betrayed so soon.
However, if that wasn’t the reason, what could the reason be?
Zhou Litao didn’t think he had other dirty secrets that would attract the police’s attention. After all, he was very careful, and he had confidence in himself. Even if it was because of the attempted assassination of Song Wenxuan, he wouldn’t admit it.
“Xiong Xingyi, why did you suddenly show up at my place with so many people?” Zhou Litao called his full name angrily, trying to put pressure on Xiong Xingyi.
In fact, Xiong Xingyi didn’t have much confidence. He wasn’t scared of Zhou Litao, but was afraid the illegal stuff Song Wenxuan told him about wasn’t actually there.
He trusted Song Wenxuan, but was worried that Song Wenxuan might be deceived. After all, Song Wenxuan didn’t see it himself, so it was risky.
Anyway, since he already came, he had to do his job. “Mr. Zhou, I received a report that you’ve kept some jewelry, guns, and drugs from unknown sources, so we need to do a search. Please be cooperative.”
“What?” Hearing that, Zhou Litao rounded his eyes in shock. He thought they came because they found out about his involvement in the attempted assassination of Song Wenxuan, but he was wrong.
However, he didn’t keep all the illegal stuff at his home!
“It is slander! It’s impossible that I’ve kept illegal stuff in my house. I know it’s illegal,” said Zhou Litao angrily without a guilty conscience. He didn’t panic now, because he didn’t have illegal stuff. He must have been framed.
“If so, I’m sure you won’t stop us from doing a search, right?” Xiong Xingyi said, but he didn’t have much confidence.
“I don’t have any illegal stuff in my house, but you can’t search my home. If other people hear about it, my reputation will be damaged.” Zhou Litao angrily retorted. Although he indeed didn’t have any illegal stuff in his house, he wouldn’t let the police in, or other people might think he was guilty.
“Mr. Zhou, it’s our duty. This is the search warrant. Please let us finish our work. Why do you have to stop us? Do you feel guilty? If not, please let us in, or I’ll report it to my leader,” said Xiong Xingyi, appearing tough.
“You…” Zhou Litao was mad when he heard that.
Why did Xiong Xingyi think he was guilty just because he stopped them from going into his house? He didn’t have any illegal stuff in his house.
Anyway, since Xiong Xingyi had a search warrant, he couldn’t stop him or it would be an obstruction of official duties and he would be arrested for that afterwards. The police would still search his house in the end.
He didn’t think there was any illegal stuff in his house, so he finally gave in.
“Fine, you can do a search, but if you can’t find anything illegal, I promise you can’t bear the result.” Zhou Litao glared at Xiong Xingyi and threatened him.
He thought to himself that he must teach Xiong Xingyi a lesson after tonight, because Xiong Xingyi hurt his pride.
Xiong Xingyi didn’t care about it and took his people into Zhou Litao’s home at once.
Zhou Litao followed him at the side.
In order to prove they were just doing their work, a policeman took a camera with them when they did the search.
As soon as Xiong Xingyi went inside, he searched the study first, because illegal stuff was normally kept in the study.
Zhou Litao looked displeased, but he didn’t have any worries because he was sure he was innocent.
Unexpectedly, someone framed him and succeeded. Therefore, when Xiong Xingyi’s people found a box with jewelry and gold bars in the cabinet, Zhou Litao was stunned while Xiong Xingyi was relieved. Xiong Xingyi was really afraid that they might fail.
“No, it’s impossible. These aren’t mine!” Once Zhou Litao came back to his senses, he denied it emotionally just to prove the jewelry and gold bars didn’t belong to him.
“We found them in your study. Do you think we’ll believe that they are not yours?” said Xiong Xingyi. He knew the jewelry and gold bars weren’t owned by Zhou Litao, and that someone had framed him. However, they found the jewelry and gold bars in Zhou Litao’s study, and Zhou Litao couldn’t deny it unless he found the person who put the stuff in his study.
Speaking of that, Xiong Xingyi was slightly worried.
No matter how worried he was or whether Zhou Litao could find the person who framed him, he needed to continue to search the study.
After a while, Xiong Xingyi and his people found two guns and two kilograms of drugs. Zhou Litao almost went crazy when he saw them. How could they have appeared in his study?
