Chapter 137: Officer, It

~3 min read 523 words

"I've known the location of my ancestor's tomb since childhood."

"As a child raised with proper family education…"

"I regularly go to specially maintain those antiques."

"To ensure they don't oxidize or corrode."

"Even though my family has plenty of ready-made equipment."

"But many maintenance consumables aren't cheap."

"Therefore, I've always worked very seriously."

"Taking on two jobs at once, striving to save up money for antique conservation."

In the interrogation room.

Fang Hao, wearing a lie detector.

Seriously stated the relevant details:

"As for the theft of my ancestor's tomb, I myself am also deeply shocked."

"But as a descendant of Cao Cao,"

"I firmly believe in visiting his grave to pay respects to my ancestors."

"This is very reasonable and logically sound."

Under confirmation from the lie detector,

every word Fang Hao spoke was verified as true.

Xu Qiong and others were stunned.

He didn't lie once… it was all true!

In fact,

when Ding Lao Professor revealed that Fang Hao's antiques fell within the Fan Chou category,

Fang Hao's suspicion had essentially been cleared.

At the very least… he no longer had a motive.

If tomb raiding was for profit,

any single item from Fang Hao's own collection

was worth no less than the artifacts from Cao Cao's tomb.

Moreover, selling such antiques isn't illegal.

Why risk legal pursuit and moral guilt…

to dig up his own ancestor's grave?

Logically, this makes no sense.

On camera.

At this moment, Xu Qiong thought of something.

He rose and left Fang Hao's interrogation room.

He headed instead to the interrogation room of the four tomb raiders.

"I ask you: what were the characteristics of the mastermind you mentioned?"

Group Leader Xu Qiong coldly stared at the tomb raider Wu Xing before him.

The one who pointed all fingers at Fang Hao…

was this guy.

Precisely because of this,

when Fang Hao was arrested today,

they were also transported along with the police car to the Zhangzhou Public Security Bureau.

Right next door to Fang Hao's, next door again.

Now that Fang Hao has proven his innocence,

the problem…

may lie with Wu Xing himself.

Seeing his appearance now,

the audience's expressions grew unusually complex.

【Ah… this is the one who directed everything toward Fang Hao!】

【Could this be his setup? He doesn't look like it…】

【Damn, even lying doesn't make sense… how did he bypass the lie detector system?】

The audience couldn't help but feel anticipation.

Could it be…

that this guy isn't as simple as he seems?

Feeling Xu Qiong's oppressive gaze,

Wu Xing dared not slack off.

He quickly repeated his earlier statement—

"We've never seen the mastermind's face…"

"We only know he came from Zhangzhou, and he's quite young, medium build."

"He's mysterious, and everyone thinks he's really skilled…"

"But we all call him Hao-ge, sometimes also Ri Tian-ge."

"And also…"

Just as the grave robber Wu Xing was about to continue.

"Wait!"

Xu Qiong suddenly sensed something and abruptly cut off his description.

She stared wide-eyed at Wu Xing before her.

Her voice trembled slightly.

"Ri… Ri-tian-ge…"

"The Hao-ge you guys are talking about… which Hao is that?"
