After getting the evidence, the apprentice immediately began to dismantle the previously installed eavesdropping devices and pinhole cameras. Tan Mingchun was a little confused, so the apprentice explained to her: "Sister Chun, in fact, our method of collecting evidence is not very legal. If the police find out, it will be a troublesome matter. Now that we have the evidence, there is no need to keep it. After dismantling it, there will be no worries."

Tan Mingchun patted his apprentice's shoulder approvingly and said, "Although you are young, you are quite thoughtful."

The young apprentice was shy again, lowered his head and explained, "It was all taught by the master."

The pinhole camera was difficult to install, but easy to disassemble. The apprentice finished everything in just ten minutes. The two stayed upstairs for a while, and when they saw that it was almost time, they went downstairs.

Gong Meijiao came up from the front desk with a smile, "Miss Tan, have you rested well?"

In order not to arouse Gong Mei's suspicion, Tan Mingchun could only speak a few words to her in a perfunctory manner. In fact, she had already been eager to return home and just wanted to go back quickly to develop the film in the camera.

Gong Mei tried to please Tan Mingchun all the way as she escorted him to the car. After the car started, her hands were still waving to see him off.

Gong Mei had no idea that what Tan Mingchun took away was actually her freedom.

As soon as Tan Mingchun and his apprentice returned, they started developing the film.

When Lin Zhiyuan got off work in the evening, a thick stack of photos was already in front of him.

Lin Zhiyuan carefully examined the photos one by one. Although the photos were not very clear, he could still clearly see the import and export situations of those shell companies.

With this evidence in hand, the charges that Hongmei Machinery engaged in short selling and embezzlement of state-owned assets were confirmed.

"Zhiyuan, what are you going to do next? My opinion is that you should not hand this document over to the police. After all, the evidence collection process is illegal." Li Zhikun suggested.

Lin Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I'm not stupid. I'll just find someone to put this evidence at the gate of the large-scale working committee, and then call Sister Xiang and ask her to come and pick it up."

Li Zhikun tapped his head and said, "I'm really old. I didn't even think of such a simple solution."

Lin Zhiyuan put the photos into a brown paper file bag and slapped it twice.

With this heavyweight evidence, it was only a matter of time before Gong Mei and Dongfang Yuan were arrested. Cai Yilei had lost another arm, and he was probably going to kill with rage. At that time, he might counterattack desperately. As long as he handed over what Xue Zhaokuan provided, it would be the moment of his demise.

The last fatal bullet aimed at Cai Yile's forehead was about to be fired, and it was he himself who pulled the trigger.

Sitting in the car on the roadside not far from the Aegean Beauty Salon, Xiang Yaoting was feeling irritable. She had been monitoring the beauty salon for several days, but due to police discipline, they could not openly go in and search, so they had found nothing so far.

Perhaps Dongfang Yuan had become more vigilant. He had never come here in the past few days and hadn't even called Gong Mei.

The case seemed to have reached a stalemate here.

Just when Xiang Yaoting was sulking alone, her phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number. Xiang Yaoting hesitated for a moment and hung up the phone. She was currently under surveillance and didn't want to answer irrelevant calls.

But less than five seconds after she hung up the phone, the number called again. Xiang Yaoting became angry and finally answered the call.

Before Xiang Yaoting could say anything, the person on the other end started talking quickly, "Deputy Director Xiang, I found an important piece of evidence. It's at the gate of your large-scale working committee. You'd better go back and get it immediately. I remind you that this piece of evidence is related to the case you are investigating now."

After saying this, the other party immediately hung up the phone. Xiang Yaoting widened her eyes and called back, but the other party's phone was turned off.

"Let's go back to the large-scale work committee." Xiang Yaoting knew that this call was crucial during this sensitive period. Regardless of whether it was true or not, she would go back to the unit first.

The car sped back to the large-scale work committee. Before it stopped, Xiang Yaoting opened the door and jumped out. She took two steps at a time and entered the guard room, asking anxiously, "Did anyone leave anything for me?"

"Yes, Deputy Director Xiang. Someone just put this down and said it's for you." The guard handed over a thick brown paper file bag in a flattering manner.

Xiang Yaoting turned back to the car and couldn't wait to open the file bag, which contained several thick stacks of photos and a note.

There was only one sentence on the note, "Aegean Beauty Salon, third floor, safe under the bookcase."

Xiang Yaoting's heart began to beat uncontrollably. She picked up the photos and looked through them one by one. After looking at only three or four photos, Xiang Yaoting immediately realized that the contents of the photos were the import and export certificates of the three shell companies related to Gong Mei.

This was exactly the evidence she wanted most. She didn't expect that after waiting for so many days and getting nothing, the evidence was so easily delivered to the unit.

It feels great to get something for nothing.

Xiang Yaoting had no time to be happy and immediately called Captain Yuan.

"Captain Yuan, I have important evidence related to Gong Mei. I'm coming to you now. Please be prepared to summon Gong Mei and Dongfang Yuan at any time."

The car set off again, this time the destination was the Criminal Investigation Bureau.

After the director and Captain Yuan looked at the photos provided by Xiang Yaoting, they immediately signed an arrest warrant and search warrant for Gong Mei and others.

Several teams of police set out at the same time.

In just half a day, Gong Mei, her mother, siblings, and her classmate were arrested one after another. The police conducted a carpet search of the Aegean Beauty Salon, and the safe in the bookcase was discovered immediately. All the original evidence inside was seized by the police.

Faced with irrefutable evidence, Gong Mei said nothing. This woman knew very well that as long as she gritted her teeth, Han Qing, Cai Yilei and Dongfang Yuan would find a way to get her out.

"Gong Mei, the evidence is irrefutable, and you still dare to quibble?"

"Comrade police, you are wrongly accusing a good person. I want to file a complaint against you!"

"Gong Mei, I advise you to give up your fantasy. Your mother, your brother and sister-in-law, and that classmate are being tried next to you. If you don't tell them, they will tell them. It will be good for you if you tell them early."

Gong Mei smiled contemptuously, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Officer, don't bother. I don't know anything."

Unable to obtain any useful information from Gong Mei, the police changed their target to Gong Mei's mother, siblings and her classmate. However, after interrogation, they found that the information these three people knew was very limited.

Gong Mei's mother is an old woman in her sixties. She doesn't even know that she is the legal representative of a company and knows nothing about anything.

Gong Mei's sister-in-law and her classmate knew some of the situation, but they did not have any valuable information. The management of the company was entirely decided by Gong Mei.

Judging from the evidence currently available, even if Gong Mei does not confess, the facts of her crime are clear and she cannot escape imprisonment. However, the real target of this case is Dongfang Yuan. If Gong Mei does not tell the truth, Dongfang Yuan will be safe for the time being.

Xiang Yaoting reported to Lin Zhiyuan. The frustration and anxiety in her tone were very obvious, but Lin Zhiyuan was very relaxed. "Deputy Director Xiang, why don't you make a suggestion to the police? Although we don't have evidence, we can summon Deputy General Manager Dongfang. He is the head of the sales company. Now that such a big thing has happened in the sales company, he should at least bear the leadership responsibility. Besides, it is the obligation of every citizen to cooperate with the police in handling the case."
