At eight o'clock the next morning, Tang Xin had just helped Su Mingxuan and a guy open the shop, when the mobile phone suddenly chimeled, and when I looked at the caller ID, it was Director Xia's number.

"Xiao Tang, how long did you stay in the cultural relics inspection team last night?Did you help them find some clues to solve the case?" Xia Guowei's tone was full of anticipation.

Tang Xin smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Xia, Captain Xie, they don't seem to trust me much. Last night, I wanted to ask them to take out the three Tang San painted pottery figurines and let me take a look at them and look for the information left on them, but Captain Xie said that the police who kept the evidence had gone home and couldn't provide me with the terracotta figurines, so I couldn't find clues for them. ”

Xia Guowei said in surprise, "Is there anything else about this?" you wait, I'll ask Xie Benhang and call you back." ”

After hanging up Tang Xin's phone, Xia Guowei dialed Xie Benhang's mobile phone number, and asked a little angrily: "Xiao Xie, yesterday I recommended Xiao Tang to assist you in solving the case, why did you disobey the yin and yin and didn't take my words seriously? Didn't I tell you? Xiao Tang has special abilities, as long as you provide him with cultural relics related to tomb robbers, he can find clues to solve the case from these cultural relics, how can you take my words as a deaf ear?"

Xie Benhang listened to Xia Guowei's unkind tone, and was a little panicked, and explained carefully: "Boss, it's not that we deliberately didn't listen to your instructions, but we felt that the method of finding clues to solve the case that Xiao Tang said was too mysterious, and we all felt that it was not very credible, so we didn't care too much——"

Xia Guowei shouted: "Regardless of whether it is mysterious or not, can't you just let him give it a try? This won't delay your time, right? You don't even give him a chance to give it a try, just say that his method is not credible, I think this is typical empiricism and bureaucracy." ”

Xie Benhang was put under the two hats of "empiricism and bureaucracy" by Xia Guowei, and couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly said: "Boss, I sincerely accept your criticism. Please tell me Don's mobile phone number, I will call him now, and sincerely invite him to come to the team to help us solve the case. ”

Xia Guowei said angrily: "I will tell you his mobile phone number now, after the phone is connected, I must first apologize to others, and when inviting him to come, I should be better and sincere, understand?"

"Understood. ”

After Xia Guowei informed Tang Xin's mobile phone number and hung up the phone, Xie Benhang immediately dialed Tang Xin's mobile phone, apologized to him for his neglect last night according to Xia Guowei's request, and asked him to come to the team immediately to help them solve the case.

At about nine o'clock, Tang Xin walked into the cultural relics inspection team again and found Xie Benhang.

Xie Benhang took him into a large office, where several deputy captains and squadron leaders that Tang Xin saw last night were there, as well as a few case-handling personnel.

On the desk, there are three Tang San painted pottery figurines seized from antiquities dealers.

"Xiao Tang, the Tang Sancai you wanted to see last night has been taken out, please go over and take a look, I hope to find out some valuable clues or information. ”

Xie Benhang pointed to the table and said to Tang Xin.

The people around the table all focused their eyes on Tang Xin, and they still had that disapproving expression on their faces, and they didn't believe that he could find any clues to solve the case just by observing these pottery figurines......

Tang Xin ignored those gazes, walked straight to the table, held up one of the terracotta figurines, and touched the terracotta figurines a few times with the ring on his finger, and many pictures immediately appeared in front of him......

After reading the three terracotta figurines, Tang Xin turned his head and asked Xie Benhang: "Captain Xie, what kind of information and clues do you want to know most now?"

Xie Benhang thought for a while and replied, "We now want to know the real name of 'Old Knife' and where he lives. Because he was the one who sold the three figurines to the antiquities dealers, we suspect that he was either a member of the tomb robbing gang or the first link of the gang in selling the stolen goods. As long as he is found, the case will not be difficult to solve. ”

Tang Xin raised his head and recalled, and said: "In the information left on this terracotta figurine, all the tomb robbers and stolen goods are all nicknamed, so I don't know the real name of 'Old Knife'." I know where he lives, though. ”

"And where does he live?"

"It's in the old family area of your Municipal Public Security Bureau, Room 502, Unit 2, Building 4. ”

As soon as he reported his door number, he jumped up, blushed and shouted angrily: "Xiao Tang, what are you kidding? Room 502, Unit 2, Building 4, Old Family District of the Municipal Bureau, that is the house where I used to live, and now my brother-in-law lives there, how did it become the residence of the 'old knife'? It's just playing the piano randomly!"

The rest of the case-handling personnel also showed mocking expressions on their faces, and one of them said with a smile: "Xiao Tang, you deliberately want to make a joke with us! Which tomb robber has such a bold personality to dare to live in the family courtyard of the city public security bureau? Although our city bureau departments have moved out of there, there are still people from the traffic police detachment and the vehicle management office working there, and some cadres and policemen are still living in the old family building. Those tomb robbers are bold, but they don't have the courage to live there!"

Xie Benhang also smiled and said, "Xiao Tang, if you really can't find a clue, we don't blame you." But you said that 'Lao Dao' lived in Captain Hu's original house, which means that his brother-in-law is a criminal suspect, and this joke can't be messed around. ”

Tang Xin looked at ** and said very calmly: "Captain Hu, I can now describe the appearance and habits of that 'old knife', if he matches your brother-in-law, then he is indeed a suspect." ”

** puffed up and said, "You say, you say." ”

"'Old Knife' is about thirty-five or sixteen years old, about 1.8 meters tall, with a small head, dark skin, prominent cheekbones on the face, thick lips, likes to wear pants and slippers, has a great addiction to smoking, smokes three packs of cigarettes a day, and only smokes a brand of Huangzui 'Furong Wang' in Hunan Province. Because of his addiction to smoking, his teeth are very black. In addition, he has another obvious feature: his left eye is a little outward, which is commonly known as 'cross-eye'. ”

In the process of his description, **'s eyes widened more and more, and the look of surprise and panic on his face became more and more intense: because the appearance characteristics and living habits of the "old knife" described by Tang Xin were completely consistent with that of his brother-in-law Wang Dacheng. In particular, the "cross-eyed" he said is the biggest physical defect that Wang Dacheng hates.

At the same time, he suddenly remembered that recently, Wang Dacheng, who had been living in poverty, suddenly became generous, not only spending money lavishly, but also saying that he would buy the house he was living in now.

In addition, in the past few days, Wang Dacheng called ** several times, intentionally or unintentionally asking him about the progress of the investigation of the tomb robbery case in Xiaolizhuang. At that time, ** didn't care, thinking that he just asked because he was curious, but now that I think about it, he really may have an ulterior motive when he investigates the case......

Thinking of this, ** only felt cold sweat all over his body, and the ominous thoughts in his mind became stronger and stronger.
