Chapter: 4303
As a renowned Chinese detective, Lee Yalin is also getting anxious like ants on a hot plate.
Unfortunately, there were no valuable clues left at the scene, so as of now, all police officers have been mobilized to find the garbage truck that went away in the middle of the night.
If we can't even find the car, it's even harder to find someone.
Just when he was at a loss for what to do, a phone call came through.
He looked at the screen on his phone, hesitated for a moment, and still picked up the call. He chuckled and said, "What, you just saw the media report and can't help but come to gloat over me?"
On the other end of the line, a man laughed and said, "You're this Chinese detective who's not careful about stepping on his own two feet, I'm definitely going to give him a good scolding. But now that you've reached the edge of the cliff, how can I take a stone from someone else?"
The person speaking is none other than Uncle An Chongqiu, who was kicked out of the auction at the Jining Spring and Autumn auction just the other day by Ye Chen's instructions.
At this moment, Uncle An Chongqiu said again, "You should still be at the police station now?"
"Yes," Lee Yalin joked self-deprecatingly. "Since something so big has happened, I'll probably have to stay in the police station for a few days."
Uncle An Chongqiu smiled slightly and said, "It looks like I was right. I'm downstairs now, if you're free, I'll come up."
Lee Yalin's expression was still in shock, wanting to ask something but then held back, quickly saying, "I'll have someone bring you up!"
"Okay."
Very soon, Uncle An Chongqiu, wearing a duck-billed hat and a black face mask, walked upstairs with a police officer leading the way.
He carried two leather bags of shopping bags and directly went to Lee Yalin's office.
As soon as Lee Yalin saw him, he was surprised and asked, "Chongqiu, how did you come to New York? Didn't I hear that you returned to Huaxia recently?"
"Yes," Uncle An Chongqiu nodded and sighed wryly, "I went to Huaxia, but in the end, I got slapped in the face. Now, I'm back here again."
Lee Yalin curiously asked, "What's going on? Is there someone who can make you run into a wall, Uncle Chongqiu?"
"Too much to talk about," Uncle An Chongqiu said helplessly, "This matter... is too long-winded, like a child without a mother."
After saying that, he put the two leather bags on the table and asked, "Is it time for you to go home now? I brought some snacks from Chinatown and a bottle of your favorite rare Western phoenix wine. If you can drink, let's have a few cups."
Lee Yalin chuckled and said, "I've already left work early, I'm not afraid to go home because those media people might block me."
As he was saying that, he quickly took out a bottle of precious Western phoenix wine from his bag and exclaimed, "Good grief, this wine has been stored for several decades, right?"
An Chongqiu nodded: "It's said it dates back to the early days of the country."
Lee Yalin sighed: "If my grandfather were still alive, he would definitely be thrilled to see this wine!"
Lee Yalin's ancestors were from the Northwest, and during the Republic of China era, they had already become well-known wealthy merchants in that region. Later, after World War II, his family went through hardships, fled from within the country to America, and eventually settled down there.
As for Lee Yalin and An Chongqiu, both were around 50 years old, born and raised in America as Chinese descendants. Although they didn't grow up in the Northwest, many habits were maintained due to their parents' influence, keeping them consistent with those of the Northwest people. JrNovels.com
