Life as a police officer in America

Chapter 15 The Rules of Jianghu
Pumeng, don't say I didn't give you a chance, where is that painting?
The person being held at the foot of the bed was a small guy with very long arms.

He said, "Mr. Police, you broke into the house in the middle of the night and forcibly arrested me. You don't have the right. I want to sue you, and I will go to court to sue you."

Wang Dengming patted his face with a pistol and said, "Many suspects told me like this, if they want to sue me, go ahead, I'll wait, I'll give you one last chance, speak up now, and I'll tell the judge about you It’s because you surrendered yourself with sincerity, if you don’t say it, then you know the consequences, assaulting the police, taking drugs, I’m afraid you will spend more than half of your life in prison, just think about it.”

Wang Dengming just discovered that there were white powdery things the size of fingernails on the table, wrapped in a tiny plastic bag.

Jones Medi came up and said, "Sheriff, he will do this, as long as you say, where is the painting, we can not pursue your drug use, say, where is the painting?"

Pumeng's thin face was dripping with sweat.

"I'll give you 3 minutes. Don't think I don't know where the painting is hidden. If you don't tell me, you won't have a chance."

Wang Dengming's eyes wandered around the room, and Pu Meng subconsciously swept a small attic above the room with the corner of his eyes.

How could this detail escape his Wang Dengming's eyes.

The corner of his right mouth twitched as he said, "There are still two minutes."

and also
"I say I say, I say everything."

It didn't take long for Wang Dengming to find a long thin box in the small attic between the second and third floors. When he opened it, it was a landscape map. I don't know if this is Van Gogh's work, but Wang Dengming woke up the hapless comatose first. Just now, Wang Dengming punched him in the back of the head.

They escorted the two suspects into a police car and returned to the police station first.

At three o'clock in the morning, Wang Dengming called the mayor over and showed him the painting. Of course, before he came, he had to ask him to bring money, cash, and Gray Chuan said he wanted cash.

Wilson came, more than one, three, and the other two said they were experts in ancient painting identification.

The three of them took a magnifying glass and examined it carefully and confirmed that this was the painting that Wilson had lost. The old man was jumping up and down with joy like a child.But when he gave the bonus, he was reluctant, and Wang Dengming didn't care so much, he didn't give the painting unless he gave money.

The old man had no choice but to give the money, pick up his painting, and go home happily. If he didn't give Wang Dengming [-] dollars, he would be absolutely happy. It's a pity that the old man still has a little trouble in his heart.

After Wilson left, Gray Chuan was called to the police station by Wang Dengming.

After Gray Chuan came, Wang Dengming immediately asked, "Dear Master Chuan, did you know that the painting was stolen by Pu Meng?"

"Yes, I know he did it, I know him."

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Barack almost killed me, why should I say that?"

Jones Medley said, "Barack, the former sheriff of the town?"

Wang Dengming said, "Yes."

Gray Chuan added: "Barack framed me and said I was a smuggler (human trafficker). I hate him to death."

Jones Meddy then said: "Then why did you tell Sheriff Wang? You don't think it's too strange. You said yesterday that you can find the person who stole things, and you will take us to arrest people at night. You are not afraid of Sheriff Wang suspecting you and your relationship. Is there any inexplicable relationship between Pumeng?"

Gray Chuan said with a smile: "Sergeant Wang, he won't do this, he is a man of credit."

Wang Dengming grinned and said: "You are very good at flattering, yes, I have done a good job in trusting this matter. I just ask, are you and Pu Meng accomplices, or are you revenge on him because of the uneven distribution of spoils?"

Gray Chuan shook his head firmly.

"Okay, this is the end of the matter, I won't say that you took us to arrest Pumeng, but listen carefully, if you lie, you know the consequences of deceiving me ?"

Gray Chuan replied: "Of course I know the consequences. I didn't lie. If I lied, I will bear all the consequences."

Jones Medi immediately said: "Okay, we think you didn't lie for the time being, then tell us, how did you know that Pumeng was the one who stole things, how did you know that Pumeng was in the town of Merta, and you How did you know that the painting was hidden in that building, there are so many doubts in it, you must make it clear!"

Gray Chuan's lips moved a few times, but he didn't say anything.

Jones Medley asked in a deep voice, "This is the police station, you don't have to be afraid."

Gray Chuan still didn't speak, and looked at Wang Dengming.

Wang Dengming smiled, picked up the [-] US dollars from the table, and said, "Okay, we will act according to the rules, since you don't want to get involved, then I won't force it. If I lose my trust, it's only [-] dollars, and it's the mayor of the town. The bonus given to me, I will give you the remaining [-] at the right time, what do you think."

Gray Chuan took the money and said, "I'm sorry, Sheriff Lantern. I needed money urgently to do this. You don't have to give me the remaining [-] yuan. It doesn't matter."

"No, I am willing to admit defeat, and I have to give it when I agree. I really don't have any money on me."

Gray Chuan hurriedly said, "I, I believe the sheriff's words, I believe it."

"Alright then, go back."

"Okay, Sheriff."

Jones Medie quit, stretched out his hand to stop Gray Chuan, and said, "Boss, how can you let him go like this? The case hasn't been figured out yet, how can you let him go? Is there an indistinct relationship? What if he and Pumeng are accomplices, aren't you condoning theft?"

"There are not so many cases. I believe that Greg Chuan just knows the inside story, but he is definitely not the one who steals things. It's alright, let's go."

Gray Chuan hurried away with the money in his hand.

Jones Medley looked at Wang Dengming like a monster.

"I know you don't understand. Let me tell you this. According to our Chinese language, this is called doing things according to the rules of the rivers and lakes."

"Jianghu, what are the rules of Jianghu?"

"You don't understand. Let's put it this way, since I promised not to let Greg Chuan get involved, then I have to do what I say. I can make a bet for you that Pomon and Greg Chuan should not be very familiar with each other. As for why Greg Chuan knew the details of Pumeng, he still knew it so thoroughly, and he said that he didn't want to get involved, and also said that he would take a lot of risks in this matter. There must be a reason. I will ask him later, you can do it now. You can interrogate Pumeng to see if my guess is true."

Jones Medley was very dissatisfied and immediately went to interrogate.

And Wang Dengming is tired, you like toss and let you toss.

It was dawn, and at eight o'clock, Jones Meddy came over and knocked on the door: "Boss, I lost, you are right, he doesn't know any Gray Chuan, and the person who lives with him, Han Dongmin is his accomplice,"

"Okay, have the confessions been recorded?"

"It's recorded, is there anything else to review?"

"No, Pumon said he was a first-time offender and didn't steal anything else."

Wang Dengming couldn't help laughing and said, "First offense, do you believe it?"

"Ghost believe, I can see that this is an old hand, boss, how can we pry his mouth open, we have to expand the results, maybe there is a bonus!"

Wang Dengming thought for a moment and said, "It makes sense. You, immediately check to see if this person has a criminal record at the city police station."

Three days later, Wang Dengming and Jones Medi cracked a chain of thefts that happened in the surrounding area of ​​Polson City last year. The compliments on the award order are very nice, but the prize money is only one thousand dollars.

A thousand dollars, or more, is equivalent to more than 6000 RMB, which can be enough for Wang Dengming and Jones Meddy to eat for a while.
