Li Yu returned to the police station and handed the interrogation to 147. He then went back to his office.
In the afternoon, as they were about to leave for the day, 147 came in to report, “Chief, that bitch Zhong has confessed about her gang. Eight-Aunt has nothing to do with this.”
Li Yu, hearing 147’s words, said, “Alright! Then let Eight-Aunt go.”
Li Yu, of course, knew that Eight-Aunt was innocent, but he just wanted to teach her a lesson.
As Li Yu was leaving the police station, he saw Eight-Aunt hugging Tai Zi Bing and crying. Tai Zi Bing was comforting her.
Tai Zi Bing saw Li Yu coming out of the police station and immediately thanked him, “Thank you, Chief Li, for not making things difficult for Eight-Aunt. I thank you on her behalf.”
Li Yu waved his hand, “It wasn’t a big deal. I could have turned a blind eye to her silence. But Eight-Aunt talked too much and said the wrong things, so I had no choice but to bring her back and handle it officially.”
“Yes, yes, it was Eight-Aunt’s fault for talking too much. To show my gratitude, I’d like to treat Chief Li to a meal at Da San Yuan,” Tai Zi Bing flattered.
“Alright, I’ll bring someone else,” Li Yu said.
Tai Zi Bing immediately put on a big smile and said, “Chief Li, you can bring whoever you want! I’ll go ahead and make arrangements.”
Li Yu grunted in response and went back into the police station. He called 147 to join him in meeting Tai Zi Bing.
Li Yu and 147 had solved the big case of the child trafficking ring, and they were given special permission to take a few days off.
As Li Yu was stepping out of the door, he heard a scolding voice, “What’s going on? Why is there such a big puddle of water here? Trying to make me fall?”
Lan Yi apologized, “Are you okay?”
The stylish man said, “Okay? How can I be okay? Look at this wet floor. It’s very easy to slip. This is outrageous! You should say sorry.”
By then, Li Yu had reached Lan Yi’s side and said to the man, “Sorry? You’re not paying attention and you fall, and you blame others? You want someone to apologize to you? You’re being unreasonable!”
Lan Yi, although she couldn’t understand the foreign language, heard Li Yu’s words and followed, “What ‘sorry’? It’s, you tripped and fell, what does it have to do with me? Why do you want me to apologize?”
Seeing this, the man said angrily, “I’m not going to argue with you. We’re not on the same level.” He then went up to the third floor.
After a while, Eight-Aunt came down with the man and went into a smaller room.
Lan Yi said angrily, “So, they’re also tenants like us. They came in and started talking that foreign language. I thought they were government officials coming to inspect!”
Li Yu smiled and said to Lan Yi, “Lan Yi, calm down. Don’t get angry with people like this, it’s not worth it.”
Hearing Li Yu’s words, Lan Yi calmed down a bit and said, “Ah Yu, you’re amazing. You actually understand that ‘sorry’ word he said.”
Li Yu smiled and said, “It’s not ‘sorry’, it’s ‘sorry’, it means ‘sorry’! I just know a little bit!”
At that moment, Eight-Aunt and Tai Zi Bing happened to be coming down the stairs. Hearing Li Yu’s words, Eight-Aunt asked, “Chief Li, you actually know foreign language?”
Li Yu said, “Just a few words. Are you looking for someone who knows foreign language? That tenant who just rented a room, he knows it! I saw him speaking it fluently!”
Eight-Aunt remembered and said to Tai Zi Bing, “It’s that guy who just came to rent, the one dressed in a fancy way!”
Tai Zi Bing said hurriedly, “Then quickly find him. I have to talk business with a foreigner today and I’m having trouble finding someone who speaks their language!” Then Tai Zi Bing and Eight-Aunt hurried away.
Seeing Tai Zi Bing and Eight-Aunt leave, Li Yu chatted with Lan Yi for a while and then went home to spend time with Ah Xiang.
These days, Ah Xiang had been sightseeing and had learned a lot. She had also learned makeup from Han Shi Nai.
Soon, his vacation came to an end.
As Li Yu arrived at the police station, an old man came to report that he had been cheated by a foreigner.
The officer who received the report was unsure what to do and came in to report. “Chief, there’s an old man outside who was cheated by a foreigner. What should we do?”
After hearing the officer’s words, Li Yu went out and saw the old man. He said, “Grandpa, you say you were cheated by a foreigner. What exactly happened?”
The old man said, “It’s like this. The foreigner had a gold watch and said he was selling it cheap. While I was counting the money, he secretly swapped the real one for a fake one. I’ve been looking for him for days and couldn’t find him, so I came to report it!”
Li Yu said, “Grandpa, I will help you handle this. Leave your address and I’ll notify you if I have any news!”
Li Yu called 147 and 369 and asked them, “147, 369, have you seen a foreigner recently? Wearing a suit and tie, carrying a bag, saying he’s selling gold watches at a low price?”
369 immediately said, “I just saw him. He was with Tai Zi Bing and another man. They went to Da San Yuan!”
147 also said, “I know this guy. I wanted to buy his gold watch before, so I did some research and found out he was selling fake goods. I just thought, forget it, foreigners are too powerful for me to deal with. But this morning, I received intelligence from my informant. He said this foreigner is a fake foreigner who fled from Tsarist Russia to our place.”
Hearing this, Li Yu took 369 and 147 to Da San Yuan.
As Li Yu was approaching Da San Yuan, he saw a foreigner lying on the ground, Tai Zi Bing and the old man who had just reported the case arguing, and another man standing nearby.
Then, the foreigner got up and ran away! Tai Zi Bing grabbed the old man and stopped him from chasing.
The foreigner had just gotten up and run a few steps when he bumped into Li Yu! Li Yu quickly subdued him! He put on the handcuffs! He dragged the foreigner back to the old man!
Li Yu asked, “Grandpa, is this the foreigner who cheated you?”
The old man said, “It’s him, I would recognize him even if he turned into ashes.”
369 grabbed a gold watch from the nearby bag and said, “Chief, this is a gold watch. It should belong to this foreigner!” He then handed it to Li Yu.
“Take good care of this, it’s evidence. We need to take it back to the station,” Li Yu didn’t take the gold watch from 369.
The man standing nearby saw that Li Yu was a police officer and hid to the side in fear!
Li Yu then asked Tai Zi Bing, “Tai Zi Bing, I heard you were going to do business with this foreigner too! You almost lost your money!”
Tai Zi Bing, hearing Li Yu’s words, complained, “That Western Cai said he was good at business. He almost got me scammed!” As Tai Zi Bing spoke, he pulled Western Cai behind him. He then asked Western Cai, “Didn’t you say you were experienced in business? What’s going on?”
Western Cai, with a stiff face, said, “It’s all because of this old man. I saw through the foreigner’s trick from the beginning. I wanted to use his trick against him. When he was changing the watch, I was going to catch him red-handed. But this old man scared the foreigner away!”
Tai Zi Bing, half-believing, said, “I’ll believe you this time!”
Li Yu then said, “Since you guys are fine, I’ll take this foreigner back for questioning. Grandpa, come back in a few days to get the results!” He then took 369 and 147 and dragged the foreigner back to the police station!
