"No one is allowed to move! Hold your head with your hands! Stand still!"
Swish, swish, swish!
From the dock to the law enforcement boat, uniformed law enforcement officers rushed onto the cargo ship one after another, each with a gun on his chest.
Xue Chen also walked out of the cabin. When he saw this scene, he put his head in his hands like everyone else. He often saw relevant news on TV. The country's surprised temper was not very good, especially when it came to his own safety.
Take it seriously, if you think your safety is threatened, you will shoot immediately.
Edward stood at the front with a pale face, and slowly held his head with his hands. For a moment, he seemed to have aged several years, and he had gained both the stolen goods and the stolen goods...
On the contrary, Jessica looked very calm, but a little lonely. When Xue Chen looked at Jessica, the other party also looked sideways at him, and the two looked at each other.
The other staff were even more unbearable. They all looked like they were mourning for their heirs. Although they knew that this day might come, they still couldn't bear it when it came.
Especially after a shipment has just been completed, a lot of money will be received immediately. Everyone can get at least hundreds of thousands of dollars, and then take a plane to Las Vegas, the city that never sleeps, immersed in the beautiful body and alcohol, and get drunk.
, to enjoy.
Rather than being arrested, tortured, and finally put on trial and sent to prison to spend the rest of his life.
At this moment, even Edward couldn't help but regret. He had made enough money over the years. If he had stopped earlier, maybe...
Whoosh whoosh!
A dozen law enforcement officers who moved quickly and quickly rushed forward, leaving a few holding guns and holding everyone under guard. Some of them quickly searched the boat.
A police officer in his fifties stepped onto the boat and immediately stared at Edward Comeion. He stood in front of him with a stern look on his face and said, "Edward Comeion, you are ready to be tried." Then he ordered the police officer to put him on trial.
Everyone was escorted off the boat.
Xue Chen helplessly followed him off the boat and muttered to Jessica who was walking in front of him: "I was almost killed by you!"
Jessica turned her head and glanced at Xue Chen, with a trace of apology deep in her eyes. Although she did hate Xue Chen to the extreme in the past, after all, they had made peace. Although the relationship between the two parties was not too close, the conflicts between them were not too close.
Smoothed out.
And this matter indeed had nothing to do with Xue Chen. She naturally felt a little guilty in her heart, and subconsciously said: Sao Rui.
"Huh?" Xue Chen glanced at the woman in surprise, actually apologizing to him. He softened for a moment and said, "Who makes me have bad luck? Fortunately, my luck is not bad enough."
Hearing Xue Chen's words, Jessica didn't understand a little. "Isn't luck not so bad? What does it mean? Isn't the situation in front of me bad enough?"
"Don't talk!" At this time, a police officer shouted.
Xue Chen turned back and glanced at the police officer holding a gun, and replied unhappily in English: "We are not prisoners, so we are not allowed to talk?"
The police officer did not speak. Instead, the older police officer glanced at Xue Chen coldly. He seemed a little confused and snorted: "Asian face? Are you a new member of the Kemeon criminal gang?"
"
"What are you talking about? What crime? I don't understand!" Xue Chen said.
Edward, who was being escorted to the front, heard the sound and looked back at Xue Chen, who also glanced at him.
Seeing Xue Chen's thoughtful eyes, Edward was shocked, and a glimmer of hope arose in his despair: "Could it be that he..."
The police officer who spoke was Captain Derrickson of the 11th District of the US Coast Guard. He had begun to receive information about the Kermeon family smuggling criminal gang as early as a year ago. In order to completely eradicate this criminal gang, he spent a whole time
It took half a year to plan.
Not only did he have a comprehensive understanding of Edward Kermeen and the main members of the Kermeen family, he also conducted a secret investigation on every criminal member of his subordinates, so that no one would be missed.
However, when he saw Xue Chen, Derrickson was sure that there was no such Asian face in the investigation, which surprised him because he had no idea of Xue Chen's specific identity.
When everyone arrived at the dock, Derrickson stood in front of Xue Chen with a majestic face and asked: "What's your name?"
"My name is Xue Chen." Xue Chen replied, and then asked with confusion on his face, "Hey, why do you want to arrest us? What laws have we broken? Can't we just look at the sea?"
"Look at the sea?" Seeing Xue Chen pretending to be confused, Derrickson was not surprised at all. He had encountered this kind of situation many times, and there was no need to say more. When the evidence was obtained, these damn criminals could be punished.
Shut your mouth.
Edward's men, as well as the smuggling crew members on the ship, all glanced at Xue Chen and shook their heads helplessly, thinking to themselves, you said looking at the sea is just looking at the sea? There are a bunch of smuggled antiques in the cabin.
After a while, all the conclusive evidence was brought out, and it was useless to say anything.
However, Edward and Jessica knew Xue Chen better. At this moment, they were a little more thoughtful. The situation in front of them could be said to be both stolen and stolen. Why did Xue Chen still lie about coming here, knowing that it would have no effect?
How about looking at the sea?
"Is there anything he can't do?" As soon as he had this thought, Edward couldn't help but tremble in his heart, his eyes flashed violently, and his breathing became heavy.
Suddenly, someone said loudly: "Officer Derrickson, we just came out to watch the sea, but you and your subordinates restricted our movements without authorization. What crime did we commit? Let you give us a reasonable explanation!"
The other people who were holding their heads looked over and saw that the person shouting was their boss Edward. They all subconsciously opened their mouths and thought, what is the boss doing? The stolen goods are on the boat and they will be carried out soon. Now let’s talk about this.
What's the use of words?
Derrickson grinned and looked at Edward as if he were an idiot: "Mr. Edward, are you still trying to escape the sanctions of the law at this time? Stop talking nonsense. I hope that the smuggled antiques will be brought down and placed in front of you later.
When, you can also give me a reasonable explanation!"
Edward's face turned pale and he snorted heavily. He glanced at Xue Chen, who was a few meters away, with hope from the corner of his eye.
At this moment, a police officer armed with a gun got off the boat and reported to Derrickson that six wooden boxes were found in the sealed cabin.
"Move it down!" Derrickson's eyes lit up, he showed a look of joy, and he hummed softly. Being able to crack such a large antique smuggling case will leave a huge mark on his credit book.
On the pier, four or five police cars surrounded the city in a circle, together with a dozen police officers standing there with guns, and the lights illuminated the dilapidated small pier.
When they saw the wooden crate being moved from the ship to the dock by the Coast Guard police officers, except for Xue Chen, whose expression remained the same, everyone else's face turned a little paler, and even Jessica lowered her head.
"Mr. Edward, what is in this box?" Derrickson asked loudly.
Edward kept silent.
"Open!"
With a command, several police officers quickly opened the wooden box, and the light beam of the Coast Guard law enforcement ship also shined over it, so that they could see more clearly.
"Mr. Edward, are you still saying that you are here to see the sea?" Derrickson walked to the wooden box, sneered, reached in, and prepared to take out the antiques buried inside, making these criminals completely bow their heads.
.
"Look, this is the antique you smuggled!"
Derrickson stared at Edward, when his hand touched something in the dry straw, he took it out and snorted coldly.
In an instant, all eyes were focused on the coast guard captain's hands. When they saw the antiques taken out of the wooden crate, their expressions changed.
Derrickson also looked at the precious antiques he had seized, but when he saw the first sight, he was stunned for a moment, then reached out and rubbed his eyes vigorously, and shouted in shock: "Pineapple!"
Everyone could see clearly that what Derrickson was holding was a pineapple!
The police officers surrounding him all looked at each other in surprise when they saw Captain Derrickson taking out a pineapple from the box.
"What's going on pineapple?" Derrickson murmured, then looked at Edward and sneered, "I know, it must be to hide the antiques hidden underneath, right?"
Edward was confused when he saw Derekson grabbing a pineapple instead of a Buddha head. When he heard the other person said it was to cover up, he didn't know. He looked at Captain Byrd, and saw that Byrd was also confused.
looking at that pineapple.
Derrickson threw the pineapple aside and ordered the police officers on the side to grab all the dry straw so that they could take out the antiques underneath.
The two police officers carefully took out the large handfuls of dry straw. They were careful not to damage the antiques underneath, which were stolen goods.
But when all the straws were taken out, the two police officers did not find the antiques hidden inside.
"Huh?!" Derrickson looked at the empty wooden box, his eyes narrowed, he remained silent for a while, and then loudly ordered, "Open all the other boxes!"
The crew members on the smuggling ship who were present all looked at each other and were baffled when they saw that there was only a pineapple in the box but no antiques. They clearly remembered that each box contained at least one antique. What happened? How did it change?
Become a pineapple!
All the other wooden crates were opened in just three minutes, and all the straw inside was taken out to search for the smuggled antiques hidden inside.
"Captain, here is...a bunch of bananas, no...antiques."
"Captain, there are three apples in this box, and there are no antiques."
"There's nothing in this box, just a fruit plate."
After opening all the boxes one by one, he found no antiques, but found a bunch of bananas and a few apples. Derrickson almost went crazy looking at them. How could this happen?! (To be continued)
