Chapter 112: Caught

  Because Tong Ling was not there, Mu Yan had to take matters into his own hands. He couldn't always go find Yu Jing whenever something happened in his department, so he took Bai Xue Xin and Cheng Juan with him and had Old Li drive them to the container warehouse at the port.

  After arriving here, Mu Yan was surprised to see that the outside of the warehouse had been cordoned off with police tape. A large team of police officers were entering and exiting the sealed-off warehouse, while a police dog was running back and forth inside one of the warehouses, and he had no idea what had happened.

  Seeing this scene, Mu Yan looked at Cheng Juan in surprise: "Do you know who sealed the warehouse?"

  Cheng Juan shook her head and said, "I only know that it was the warehouse management office at the dock who notified us that the warehouse had been sealed off. I didn't investigate further before telling you, but thinking about it now, it's probably the same thing."

  Seeing Cheng Juan looking a bit frightened, Mu Yan felt that something was off, but still went up to ask: "What's going on here?"

  A police officer saw Mu Yan coming over and asked, noticing the several name tags on his chest, "Are you the owner of this warehouse?"

  Mu Yan nodded, and as soon as he did, several police officers immediately surrounded him.

  This sudden movement startled Bai Xue Xin, Lao Li and Cheng Juan Juan. Bai Xue Xin and Lao Li were okay because they had seen Mu Yan's abilities before and quickly calmed down. But Cheng Juan Juan was shocked and cried out: "What are you doing? We haven't broken the law!"

  A man in his thirties, who appeared to be the captain, walked over and said, "You don't have to worry, you are just employees of the company. If after investigation, it is confirmed that you are indeed not related to this case, then there will definitely be no problem. However, before that, you need to cooperate with the investigation."

  The captain finished speaking and gestured for several police officers to take the person away. Although no handcuffs were used, the situation was clearly very serious.

  Mu Yan didn't resist, but calmly asked: "May I ask what happened, officer? If I'm not mistaken, you're narcotics police, and that's a narcotics dog inside?"

  The team leader turned his head and glanced at Mu Yan, then continued: "You're not wrong, we received a report that there are large quantities of drugs in your company's warehouse. We're currently searching it. By the way, hand over all your communication devices, this is just routine procedure. Once things are over, they'll be returned to you!"

  He finished speaking, and soon a policeman took out a plastic bag.

  Looking at the plastic bag, everyone else turned to Mu Yan, Mu Yan smiled and was the first to put his phone in, and others also took out their phones and put them into the plastic bag.

  The three of them were soon taken into an office in the warehouse.

  There was no one in the office, after four people were brought here, only two policemen were left, they asked about the basic situation of the four and didn't say anything else, just staring at the four without letting them leave.

  It's almost noon, and at this time, someone suddenly heard someone say something like "Found it!" Not long after, the captain came back to the office again, but this time he didn't have the same gentle tone as before. Instead, he directly told Mu Yan and others: "I can tell you a piece of news, we've found a large amount of drugs in the warehouse next door, including ice, heroin, and other substances, all totaling no less than 300 kilograms. This is just what was found in one warehouse, it's not clear if there are any more in the other warehouses. If any of you know something about this, speak up now and it will be considered a meritorious act, and you will definitely receive lenient treatment. Otherwise, either you really don't know anything about this matter, or when the time comes, you will become obstinately resistant to reform, and you won't be able to avoid being sentenced to several more years."

  "Officer, you mean we're already suspects?" Mu Yan asked.

  "Not bad, after all this warehouse is yours, and you came here at this time, so now you have been arrested!" The captain said with a definite answer, and then the two policemen went up separately and put handcuffs on the four people.

  Mu Yan looked at the handcuffs on his wrist and couldn't help but feel a little amused. He didn't expect that after ten years, he would be wearing this thing again.

  However, after putting it on, Mu Yan said to the captain, "I don't know if I can make a phone call home, I think I should have this right?"

  The captain looked at Mu Yan, who had been calm from the beginning to now, and thought for a moment before saying: "Sorry, we are in the middle of handling the case right now. If word gets out and the criminal escapes, we can't afford to take responsibility!"

  Mu Yan guessed what he would say and smiled: "I was just calling my girlfriend, she's also a cop!"

  "Is your girlfriend a police officer?" The captain was slightly surprised when he heard this.

  Mu Yan smiled and said: "Yes, she was just transferred to the Municipal Bureau's Criminal Police Brigade as a team leader, by the way her name is Yao Leilei!"

  When Mu Yan said Yao Lele's name, the captain's face changed and he followed with: "Is Director Yao's daughter your girlfriend?"

  Mu Yan smiled and said: "Can't the daughter of the Public Security Bureau director be my girlfriend?"

  Upon hearing this, the team leader also realized that the person in front of him was not lying. At this time, he also knew that things were no longer something that a small team leader like himself could decide on his own. He immediately said: "You wait for a moment, I'll go ask my superior!"

  "You're welcome!" Mu Yan responded and then sat down.

  Not long after, the captain came with a middle-aged man. As soon as he saw Mu Yan, he smiled and said: "I heard from Xiao Zhen that you are Director Yao's future son-in-law?"

  Mu Yan smiled and said: "Although we haven't formally engaged, Director Yao has indeed agreed. If nothing unexpected happens, it's settled then!"

  Jian Mu Yan said that, the man smiled and said: "I am Yu Minsheng, the deputy director of the Municipal Bureau and the captain of the anti-drug brigade. Although you are Director Yao's future son-in-law, now is a critical moment for handling the case. You two are suspects, so we can't make an exception. If you want to make a phone call, wait until we've finished dealing with things here, then we'll let you make one. Of course, before that, I'm afraid you'll have to be inconvenienced. Apart from temporary restrictions on your freedom of movement, you won't receive any unfair treatment!"

  Mu Yan listened to half of it and knew that Yu Minsheng and Lao Shouzhang were not on the same page, and that Fenghua Warehouse had contraband, which was discovered after he took over the department. All this is very suspicious.

  Mu Yan knew that this was definitely a trap, and by revealing his identity as Yao Ju Zheng's future son-in-law, he would first of all avoid any unfair treatment and some trouble. Secondly, he believed that the person behind the scenes would have to make some adjustments due to this unexpected turn of events, causing flaws in their original plan. As for what happened next, it would depend on how things developed.

  "Is that so? Then I should be able to make a phone call to Yao Juzheng, right? Such a big action, I think you can't possibly have taken it without the director's authorization?" Mu Yan asked back.

  Mu Yan finished speaking and his eyes were fixed on You Minsheng, watching his reaction, because he understood that the other party's reaction was crucial next.
