Volume 1 Chapter 86 Nine Tricks Jade Plug
After Jolene received a threatening and intimidating phone call, the criminal police team was really nervous for a few days, but they did not receive a similar phone call.
Just when it was said that everyone was going to take two days off, a new case came.
Qiao Lin had no choice but to let some of them rest first, and took Xiao Liu and Xiao Ma to the museum.
At the museum, Qiao Lin happened to meet Professor Ma from the Jiangcheng Institute of Archaeology, who was researching with them.
"This is still my family!" Professor Ma was amused when he was introduced to Pony.
Because the curator was not there, Jiang Weichen came forward to receive Qiao Lin and her party and went to the small conference room with Professor Ma.
"Captain Qiao, thank you for your hard work!" Jiang Weichen said with a smile, "My grandfather has been mentioning you to me a lot these days!"
Qiao Lin also smiled, "How is he and Grandma Jiang's health, my grandfather said that he would invite them to dinner." ”
"When I received the call, I was so happy, I was talking about it all day long!" Jiang Weichen said.
The door to the conference room opened, and a staff member of the hall walked in with a large tray and placed it on the table.
"That's it!" Jiang Weichen said.
Professor Ma spoke at this time, "Captain Qiao, look at it, they are all newly unearthed things, we are studying the age, look at the characteristics, these jade artifacts should be before the Shang Dynasty." ”
Although Jolene watched her grandfather tinkering with antiques, she didn't know anything about it, so she could only listen.
Professor Ma continued: "The Jiangcheng anti-smuggling team happened to seize a batch of smuggled goods, including these, and they immediately sent them here! After that, they informed us that it was very likely that an ancient tomb was involved, and judging from the specifications of these burial goods, it would definitely be not small! If these are lost, the loss will be incalculable!"
Jolene knew what to expect, and before they came, they went to the anti-smuggling team and read the interrogation records of the captured lost persons.
It's just that these people who are caught are only responsible for transporting the goods, and they don't know who the buyers and sellers are, so they just take the money to work.
But one thing is very clear, this time the antique smuggling is a big case, and the archaeological research institute and the museum of the Cultural Relics Bureau have been notified, so that they can cooperate with the Jiangcheng detachment to catch the antique dealers and tomb robbers as soon as possible.
Jolene nodded, "The situation is clear now, we will find clues as soon as possible and strive to catch the suspect as soon as possible." ”
"Not only to catch these people, but the most important thing is to ask about the whereabouts of the ancient tombs, if they are allowed to destroy them, maybe at a certain point in history, it will never be possible to see the light of day again. Professor Ma said bitterly.
Jiang Weichen thought for a while and said: "The whereabouts of the ancient tomb are indeed very important, we wish Captain Qiao to catch these villains as soon as possible, if there is anything that needs our cooperation, just say it, we will do our best!"
Coming out of the museum, Jolene takes Liu and Pony back, and they want to hand over the captured smugglers as soon as possible, and then find antique dealers and tomb robbers from them.
After Qiao Lin left, Jiang Weichen took out the phone and called Luo Fan again, and Luo Fan remembered what Jiang Weichen had been looking for him before.
But Sun Yongze's matter was delayed for a while, and he forgot about it, so after answering Jiang Weichen's call, he took Fat Dahai to the museum.
"Luo Fan, you're here!" Jiang Weichen was waiting for Luo Fan at the door, and when he saw them driving in, he hurriedly greeted them.
"You said on the phone that I would come to help, can you not come?" Luo Fan smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and the two walked in like good buddies.
"What's the matter?" At the door of the museum building, Luo Fan took his arm off Jiang Weichen's shoulder, and the two of them looked good, so it was not good for the people inside to see it.
"It's just that the museum has received a batch of cultural relics, and my grandfather and the curator have been studying it for several days without coming to any conclusions, so I want you to come and see it. Jiang Weichen took Luo Fan into the workshop.
There were several people in the workshop, and Jiang Weichen took Luo Fan to the innermost platform.
"Old man Jiang can't even understand it, what's the use of you looking for me!" Luo Fan said funny, but his eyes looked at the things on the table.
It doesn't matter if you look at it, his pupils are shrinking, and several pieces of jade are placed on the black flannel, which are very similar to the one Sun Yongze received, the texture and texture are very similar, "This is ......"
"What? have you seen it?" Jiang Weichen knew Luo Fan too well, and when he saw his expression, he knew that Luo Fan must have seen these things, or something like that.
"I've seen it!" Luo Fan nodded, took the gloves handed over by Jiang Weichen and picked up a jade jue, looked at it, it was the same as Sun Yongze's jade pendant, with a black aura, he put down the jade jue, "Fortunately, you all wear gloves." ”
"Problem?" Jiang Weichen immediately asked, he believed in Luo Fan's ability too much, Luo Fan said this, he must know that there was something wrong with these things.
"It's a big problem!" Luo Fan said, pointing to an ancient painting hanging on their wall, the Buddha's lecture diagram, "Fortunately, you can't finish that painting and hang it there forever, otherwise, a whole room of people would be affected." ”
Anyone who engages in archaeology and museum research knows that they often encounter things that cannot be explained scientifically in their work.
But with Jiang Ziwu here, and Jiang Weichen, who has known Luo Fan since childhood, they all know that this situation is all because the unearthed cultural relics carry a very heavy yin qi.
They laymen call the evil qi yin.
These yin qi will affect normal people and produce some hallucinations, so even if they encounter some incomprehensible or creepy weird things at work, they are not very afraid, and they will pass as if they can't see it.
And this time, Luo Fan would say this, Jiang Weichen would inevitably think about it more.
Luo Fan told Jiang Weichen about going to Sun's house before, and finally said: "So, I'll go back again and ask him who bought the jade pendant from, and maybe I can find some clues." ”
"Would you like to get in touch with Jolene? She had just been here this morning, and they were dealing with the smuggling of these antiquities. Jiang Weichen said, and then suddenly arched Luo Fan a little playfully, "Moreover, don't you think she looks at you very differently?"
Luo Fan rolled his eyes at him, "Come less, what's different, it's not that you don't know my eight characters, if you fall in love with her, I think it's quite suitable! Old man Jiang knows her grandfather again, and your two families are also world friends, so that's the right one!"
"I, you can forget it!" Jiang Weichen pouted after hearing this, "Look at my small body, if there is a domestic violence in the future, it will be called every day, and the earth will not be spiritual, and I don't have your skills." ”
"You didn't continue to practice?" Luo Fan asked strangely, when he was a child, when Luo Fan was practicing, Jiang Weichen also followed him to join in the fun, and Luo Qian would also give a few words of advice.
Later, he was able to practice well, but he went abroad within two years, and Luo Fan thought he could continue to practice.
"It's too hard to practice that thing, and I gave up after less than half a year of perseverance after going abroad!" Jiang Weichen said with a shrug.
"Hehe......" Luo Fan smiled, "Okay! Let's not talk about this, the Sun family's side, I asked them to send the jade pendant to Wunian for processing, it is estimated that it will take a few days to get it back, I will tell the Sun family when I go back, and let him send it directly after I get it back." ”
"Don't, sending us here directly is equivalent to handing it over, let's send it to you! If they want to, we are also willing to spend money to recycle, don't make people reluctant at that time." ”
"It's okay!" Luo Fan nodded, "Is Old Man Jiang at home?"
"I'm not at home, I'm going to the city, this time the matter is very serious, the boss of the Cultural Relics Bureau above also came forward, and the curator here is not enough, so he also dragged him away. Jiang Weichen said, his eyes looking at the jade on the table, "Luo Fan, to be honest, when do you look at these things, who will the owner of the tomb be?"
Luo Fan looked at the jade and shook his head, "You asked me, but I don't know much about these things, but they look like they are from the Shang Dynasty, but they are different from the characteristics of the Shang Dynasty, so I really can't see it." ”
"Is this a half-understood? It took them a whole week to come to this conclusion!" Jiang Weichen lowered his voice and mouthed at the few people on the other side, who were working with their heads down.
Luo Fan chuckled, "They're called rigorous, of course it will take longer." I'm just guessing, of course. ”
"Come on, you!" Jiang Weichen arched Luo Fan with his shoulders.
"As for the owner of the tomb...... Luo Fan thought for a while and said, "Look at these jades, according to the Shang Dynasty, they are also the exclusive burial items of the princes and nobles. ”
The jade objects on the table were placed according to the size specifications, a total of more than a dozen pieces, nine of which were put together, which was the nine-trick jade plug that Luo Fan said.
Ancient people used jade to accompany burials, also known as "burial jade" or "burial jade", which can be traced back to primitive society, the Neolithic period formed customs, and in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, jade became the exclusive resource of the ruling class and nobles, and also gave jade the value attributes.
There are many types of jade for burial, not only the nine-hole jade plug placed on the body of the deceased, but also jewelry, ornaments or ornaments with aesthetic value.
As the name suggests, the Nine Tricks refer to the eyes, ears, nostrils, mouth, anus and genitals on the human body.
The jade that Luo Fan said before was an object placed in the mouth of a dead man, with an obvious black line on it, and the shape could not be seen as an animal.
Sun Yongze's jade pendant belongs to the category of jewelry.
Of the ones confiscated in the museum, nine of them were from the dead, and the others were the same as Sun Yongze's jade pendants, which belonged to the category of jewelry.
"Indeed, such a complete set of nine-trick jade plugs is really rare, judging from these alone, this ancient tomb is very valuable for research!" Jiang Weichen said in contemplation, "So we must find out where this ancient tomb is, but it's a pity, only jade and no bronze, if you can seize a bronze together, even if there is only one inscription or pattern engraved on it, it will be easier to judge." ”
"Then you don't keep an eye on Jolene, let him catch the tomb robber sooner, and you'll know if you ask!" Luo Fan said.
"Yes!" Jiang Weichen was noncommittal, "Okay, let's go! Come home with me for dinner first, it's past the end of work." ”
Luo Fan did not refuse, and went directly to Jiang's house with Jiang Weichen and Fat Dahai.
On the way, the two were still talking.
"If there are any clues, can you do another favor then?" Jiang Weichen asked.
"Looking for the ancient tomb?" Luo Fan immediately guessed Jiang Weichen's thoughts, "Won't someone lead the way if you catch the tomb robber?"
"The premise is that you can catch it!"
"Okay, you can urge Jolene more!"
"You really don't have that kind of mind for her?"
"You can chase if you want, where is so much nonsense!" Luo Fan smiled and pushed him.
"Hehe, we're buddies, if I don't see what you mean first, I'll chase after you, won't that be a teasing sister-in-law? According to the rules of the rivers and lakes, that will be stabbed three times and six holes! I'm afraid of death!" Jiang Weichen said with a grinning smile.
"You're poor! It's not that you don't know, I told you a long time ago, my life is not suitable for her!"
"That's right, then I'm welcome!"
The two of them talked about the matter even after making trouble, and they also arrived at Jiang Ziwu's house, Grandma Jiang had just cooked a meal, and she was happy when she saw Luo Fan also coming.
"Are you a dog, you know I'm making fish today!"
