Chapter 189: How could he possibly make that much money?

This is truly not alarmist talk.

Wu An said: "As far as I know, there is evidence; if it's a closed loop, whether or not I testify, they can still convict."

"Since you're so confident, then don't interrogate me."

"Those who should be arrested should be arrested, those who should be sentenced should be sentenced, okay?"

They said his attitude was bad.

It would be strange if his attitude could be good!

Even Dou E wasn't as wronged as he is!

Over this period, he's worked early and late, diligently earning money; the result is that trouble has come one after another, and the police station has come several times.

Which decent person keeps going to the police station?

Now there are still some people in the village gossiping about this.

Fortunately he wasn't caught at the village dock today; otherwise the village would surely be full of rumors, let alone having to make his older brother and sister-in-law and father worry.

Even a clay figure has some temper!

How much more so for him!

Moreover, he feels that this law enforcement officer in front of him is biased, coming at him with great anger, obviously targeting him.

They found nothing, yet just because his boat had a lot of seafood, they think he's suspicious?

Don't be so outrageous!

He makes money by gathering from the sea; does that mean he's wrong?

If he weren't sitting here, he'd feel like flipping the table.

The man slammed the table again, different from before; now he looks like he's raging impotently, slams the table, raises his arm, and points his finger at Wu An.

If he weren't young, onlookers would surely suspect he has Parkinson's.

Just then.

The door of the interrogation room opened, and someone outside shouted: "Wei Jun, come out."

The man snorted coldly, turned, and walked out of the interrogation room.

Outside the door.

The man, namely Wei Jun, said angrily: "Leader, you also saw it; this person is utterly unrestrained, simply lawless."

"Rest assured, I will have a breakthrough soon."

The leader said solemnly: "Don't make such statements so early."

"For this temporary operation, since you've been put in charge, you'll be responsible to the end."

"But I need to understand a bit."

Wei Jun said: "I received a named report."

"While I was setting up defenses at the dock, I also sent people to investigate."

"Wu An indeed purchased a batch of crab pots, longlines, and cast nets."

"Preliminary investigation shows the suspect earned at least 200,000 in just one month!"

"If he weren't operating illegally, how could he possibly make that much money!"

The leader frowned upon hearing this and asked: "Besides the testimonies of the relevant personnel, what about the concrete evidence?"

"There's no concrete evidence yet; we're still investigating."

Upon hearing that, the leader felt his head buzz and blood rush to his head.

Wei Jun also realized he had some methodological issues and quickly added: "Leader, the situation is now clear; we just need to find concrete evidence, and even if this person's mouth is stubborn, it won't help."

In his preconceived view, Wu An's money must be problematic.

He originally intended to break Wu An's psychological defense through interrogation and find a breakthrough.

However, Wu An's mouth is much tougher than he imagined.

He sneered inside; the tougher the mouth, the longer the time spent on the sewing machine.

The leader nodded: "The amount involved is so huge, the highest in years; you must handle it well."

Wei Jun straightened his face: "Please rest assured, Leader."

Yes.

Handling such a big case well will become the brightest entry in his résumé.

Then.

The law enforcement officers sent out returned, bringing the relevant personnel for questioning.

Gao Qiangqi, Lao Fang, Zhao laoban of the fishing tackle shop, and Li laoban of the repair shop—basically everyone Wu An has been in contact with during this period have arrived.

This shows they indeed did a lot of work in a short time.

The leader also felt surprised: "So many people?"

Wei Jun proudly said: "You often tell us that speed is essential in warfare; I take that as my motto. These are all people who have had dealings with Wu An."

"They are both suspects and witnesses."

The leader nodded in satisfaction.

……

However, after separate interrogations, Wei Jun was dumbfounded.

These people are indeed witnesses, but they all testified for Wu An, ultimately pointing to one result: Wu An's money is clean and problem-free!

Not to mention that the people who pulled strings for him behind the scenes can't accept this result; even if he views it with the most upright eyes of a law enforcement officer, he still can't accept it!

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

How could anyone make that much money and still do it cleanly?

Weijun decided to personally conduct the interrogation.

He interrogated them one by one.

After the interrogation, he went emo.

The fishing tackle shop's boss Zhao laoban said sincerely: "I told you from the start, Wu An ordered the crab pots and other fishing gear from us, but he didn't take them away."

"You don't believe me!"

"They didn't even want to search; they just directly put me under control."

"They think I'm his accomplice!"

"I think you're deliberately targeting Wu An; did you take money from someone who wants to harm him?"

"Bang!"

Weijun slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Nonsense, you dare to slander us!"

"Oh, sorry, I got too excited and misspoke; you can't retaliate against me just because you're angry, right?"

"You… you…"

Weijun was so angry he couldn't speak; he turned and left the interrogation room, and he naturally understood the situation: the crab pots Wu An ordered were indeed still lying in the fishing tackle shop's warehouse.

Therefore, accusing Wu An of irregular operations is baseless.

Nobody has any, so where would any irregular operations come from?

He went over to Gao Qiangqi's side.

"Gao Qiangqi, don't you want to say something?"

I haven't just said it; I've already had someone send over all the documents concerning my dealings with Wu An; is that enough cooperation?

You're all professionals; one look and it's clear.

Elder Fang's side is the same.

In terms of financial dealings, they're also professionals, so naturally they won't leave any trouble.

Weijun originally wanted to investigate Wu An and the merchants colluding to pass off farmed seafood as wild, falsifying to gain illicit profits, but naturally that was just his overthinking.

After all that, it's already late at night.

The leader is still waiting for the results.

He needs to go report.

Weijun walked to the leader's temporary office, his mind all fuzzy.

After listening to Weijun's mechanical report, the leader asked: "What's the deal with that boatload of seafood?"

Weijun said: "We caught them."

The leader followed up: "How did you catch them?"

"By hand… no, we used a shovel, scooping them up from the water."

"How could there be so many?"

"Just good luck… Leader, when I heard them say that back then, I couldn't believe it even a thousand times, but the result turned out this way." Weijun wanted to say more but held back; actually he still wanted to say he suspected Wu An and them of using cheats, but there was no evidence; he could say those things privately, but he didn't dare say them to the leader.

The leader's eyes flashed: "Are you sure they're all wild?"

Weijun helplessly nodded.

He naturally also had his doubts, but the result left him quite disappointed.

After investigating and investigating, the result was that Wu An showed him up.
