Chapter 26: Suspicion

The police officers beside him were all a bit stunned when they heard Gu Changzheng shout "The money is downstream!". Gu Changzheng grabbed the walkie-talkie and said urgently: "Group 1 and Group 3, pay attention, I am Gu Changzheng. You quickly search downstream of the Qing River with the Jiangbei Dock as the coordinate! The suspects are very likely to have gone downstream! Be fast! Pay special attention to under the water surface! Please ask the special police frogmen for support!"

By now, those with quick minds had roughly figured it out: the suitcases pushed into the Qing River should have been washed downstream with the water flow!

Due to years of sand-dredging operations, the riverbed environment of the Qing River was complex, and many undercurrents had formed under the water surface, which also accelerated the speed of the water flow. Gu Changzheng had always suspected that Liu Baoshan had bribed a boat owner and used the sand-dredging boats working on the river to drag the money away, so he had focused his search on the boats coming and going on the river. Suddenly, he remembered the purpose of Liu Baoshan asking him to pack the money boxes into a rubber sealed bag—it wasn't just for waterproofing. After the nearly 600 kilograms of banknotes were stuffed into the sealed bag, there was still one-third of the space left. If the other party calculated carefully, the rubber sealed bag would be like a simple diving device. After the 600-kilogram boxes were put in, due to gravity, the sealed bag would quickly sink to the bottom of the water. After reaching the bottom, there was still sufficient air in the unused one-third of the space in the sealed bag. When gravity equaled buoyancy, the sealed bag would float in the water. This way, people on the shore couldn't see the situation under the water at all. At this time, it was also summer, and the upstream water release made the water flow faster than before. The money was long gone from the original spot!

After receiving Gu Changzheng's order, the first and third search teams immediately concentrated their forces and searched downstream.

30 minutes ago, the two people who came out of Jiangpan Haoting rode a motorcycle and hurried downstream of the Jiangbei Dock!

Liu Baoshan carefully designed the method to transport the cash away, set up a smoke screen to divert the police's attention, and he and Ren Jiahe quickly went downstream to drag the money bag under the water with a prepared boat, hide it on the spot, and then wait for an opportunity to take it away in batches.

Everything seemed to be in his plan. The police's energy was indeed attracted by rescuing Jiang Yuanqi and searching for him. No one went to consider that the money might "slip away" by itself under the water!

Liu Baoshan arrived at the location of the prepared boat downstream, found a diving suit in the cabin and changed into it, then ordered Ren Jiahe to control the boat, and he dived to the bottom of the water, waiting for the money bag to be sent over by the water flow.

After less than 10 minutes underwater, he indeed saw a black shadow drifting over. He observed carefully with a diving light and found it was exactly the rubber sealed bag he had placed at the abandoned boat at the Jiangbei Dock. He immediately reached out and pulled the rope on his body rhythmically. Ren Jiahe on the boat on the water moved the rope rhythmically, and immediately threw a hook into the water according to the plan...

On the pitch-black Qing River, a medium-sized iron boat quietly sailed downstream. Liu Baoshan rested in the cabin, and Ren Jiahe steered the boat toward the shore.

According to Liu Baoshan's promise, one-fifth of this money was to belong to Ren Jiahe. At this moment, seeing that the police still hadn't figured out how they had taken the money, they had successfully swapped the 17 suitcases they had prepared in advance!

Previously, Ren Jiahe only felt that Liu Baoshan was ruthless and killed without blinking. Now, seeing his operation, a chill rose in his heart: This person is too terrible, and his mind is too meticulous! So many police officers were led around by him, yet he didn't underestimate any detail, to the point that he had now successfully taken away the cash, and didn't forget to set up another smoke screen...

Ren Jiahe had always felt he was cautious enough, but he found this murder maniac was even more meticulously terrible! He couldn't help but worry about his own safety!

And Liu Baoshan, who seemed to be dozing with his eyes closed, was actually calculating non-stop in his heart: With just the two of them, it was impossible to take all this money today. But Ren surnamed knew the hiding place of the money, and he would definitely hide it from himself and come to take it secretly! This person could kill his pillow partner without hesitation, and didn't keep his promises, and actually killed the killer he hired. This kind of person really has no bottom line! Can't let him live...

In the seemingly quiet cabin, Liu and Ren were each calculating how to kill the other.

At this time, the boat had reached the shore. The two looked at each other and said nothing! In the narrow cabin, the air seemed to freeze instantly! Liu Baoshan originally had an absolute advantage in weapons, but he didn't dare to shoot now. If he attracted the police, he would definitely not be able to escape!

Ren Jiahe was wary of Liu Baoshan's martial power. In a head-on confrontation, even if Liu Baoshan didn't use a gun, he might not be his opponent!

"Brother Shan, we've reached the shore, what's the next step?" In the silence, Ren Jiahe spoke.

"Haha! I've already prepared in advance. Transfer the money first, and we'll take it away another day."

"Oh, then when are we going out? Has Brother Shan arranged it?"

Ren Jiahe was referring to the matter of Liu Baoshan promising to take him out of the country.

Liu Baoshan understood Ren Jiahe's intention in asking these questions at this time. He smiled and said: "Of course, I have friends in Southeast Asia, going out is not a difficult thing! But now we have to hurry to transfer these 17 boxes. Let's chat for a while longer, otherwise, the police might find us!"

Seeing that Liu Baoshan still didn't have a definite statement after his probing, Ren Jiahe already understood that Liu Baoshan just wanted to stabilize him temporarily! "Sigh!" he sighed in his heart, "Then I can only deal with you too!"

Ren Jiahe calculated how to sneak attack Liu Baoshan in his heart, but said with his mouth: "Brother Shan, I've reached this point, money or not doesn't matter, I just want to go out with you. I definitely can't stay in the country. I have some savings myself. You take me to a small country in Southeast Asia, and I can live with that little money."

He paused and said: "In my current situation, actually, Brother Shan gave me a way to live, so how dare I have any extravagant thoughts?"

Liu Baoshan stared straight at him and said with a fake smile: "Good, it's rare that you understand. I promise you, after the money is settled, I will contact Pu Mian and send you over. There is gold everywhere there now, and there are countless opportunities to get rich. With President Ren's means and brains, I'll have to follow you in the future! Hahaha!"

Both of them had ulterior motives, using words to stabilize the other.

Ren Jiahe listened to Liu Baoshan's words, smiled slightly, and aimed at the boxes in the cabin: "Brother Shan, where should these be put?"

Liu Baoshan looked at the pitch-black shore, picked up a suitcase, threw it onto the shore with effort, and turned to Ren Jiahe: "Transfer the boxes to the shore first!" After speaking, he picked up another suitcase, and Ren Jiahe saw this and moved them one by one with him!

In less than 5 minutes, 17 boxes were transferred to the shore. Liu Baoshan took out a key and handed it to Ren Jiahe: "There is a box truck in the small woods in front, you go and drive it over, remember not to turn on the high beams!"

Ren Jiahe nodded, surprised in his heart: This guy is so well-prepared! It seems he has been planning for a long time!

He walked in the dark to the small woods 200 meters away, and sure enough, he saw a white Wuling small truck parked inside. He hurriedly started the car, drove it out of the woods, and arrived at the shore.

On the other side, Gu Changzheng, after ordering the two groups of people to search downstream, also greeted Luo Fei, Gao Ye, and others, and ran quickly downstream along the Qing River bank! ===== CHAPTER 27 =====
