Chapter 106: Death's Gold
"Oh...."Qin Lin's expression was meaningful.
Subsequently, the curator took out a handbook for collecting ancient coins, turned to a page and said: "This kind of gold coin is called 'Death Gold', there are only 27 pieces in total, and it is a popular collection that ancient coin lovers all over the world want to have!" It can be seen that the curator is also very greedy for this gold coin, and the more he says, the more excited he becomes: "Moreover, the print behind each gold coin is different! There is a very old legend that as long as the 27 back prints are put together in order, it is a treasure map!"
"Hehe.... I thought I could summon a dragon. Qin Lin obviously didn't believe in this kind of unfounded legend.
"Do you know what's in the depths of the treasure?!" the curator asked, wide-eyed.
Qin Lin was speechless when he looked at the other party's serious appearance, frowning and shaking his head.
"The secret of the immortals!
Qin Lin tilted his head and thought for a while, then replied, "Anubis, the god of death who made mummies in ancient Egyptian mythology?"
The curator hurriedly nodded: "Yes, it is said that those warriors have the secret of immortality! Once humans master it, they can have terrifying combat power! and live forever..."
Things are becoming more and more mysterious, Qin Lin has never been interested in these ghost and god legends, looking at the curator who is getting more and more excited the more he talks, he hurriedly excuses himself to leave, otherwise looking at this posture, the other party can talk for dozens of minutes.
When they returned to the police station, it was already about two o'clock in the afternoon, and the returning officers began to discuss the contents of the case, trying to find some clues.
"Tell me about the information that has been collected...."George himself presided over the meeting.
A police officer was the first to speak: "We found a lot of guys who have a history and like to steal in that area, but after investigation, none of them have the possibility of committing a crime!"
"Bowman's son is not in good financial condition! If he dies, his son will inherit more than a million dollars! I think his son is suspicious!" was another police officer's guess.
"No way! Bowman's death was around six o'clock in the morning, and his son was still in a bar far away, as evidenced by the surveillance footage..."
Everyone said babbling.
"There is one point that is very noteworthy, everyone should adjust the direction of the investigation!" Qin Lin said: "The prisoner must also be a person who understands ancient coins, at least a lover! Because I went to the museum and asked, the ancient coins that were not stolen from Bowman's house were all worthless copper coins! What was robbed was the 'Death Gold!' From now on, investigate the antique people that Bowman has come into contact with! Don't leave any of them out..."
According to Qin Lin's suggestion, George immediately gave an order. And Qin Lin also set off again, according to the information provided by the Dog King, he came to the shop of a black market merchant, hoping to find clues.
"Sir, we're just an ordinary antique shop here, and we don't have anything so valuable...."The bearded boss was very wary.
"Okay! Don't pretend, the Dog King asked me to come over! He told me, you're an expert in this area! I'm not here to talk nonsense, you cooperate with me honestly, I can ignore your deeds...."Qin Lin sat on the sofa and politely threatened.
The boss sighed, scolded the dog king twice, and then changed his smiling face and said, "Sir, what do you want to know?"
Qin Lin took out the photo of Bowman and the gold coin, and the boss looked at it and said, "This person is Bowman, right?
Qin Lin frowned slightly, it seemed that the other party knew a lot.
"There are only 27 pieces of 'Death Gold', and as far as I know, 26 have been collected, but only Bowman is left, and he is unwilling to sell it after the other party has offered several high prices!
Qin Lin immediately asked, "Whose hand is the other 26 in your hands?!"
The black market boss closed his mouth and coughed a few times deliberately.
Qin Lin knew what the other party meant, and immediately filled out a check for $100,000 and handed it over.
After confirming the amount of the check, the black market boss was overjoyed: "You are really generous! If you need other information, you can contact me at any time...."
"Alright, continue with what happened just now!" Qin Lin interrupted.
"That person is the same as you, a Xia descendant, quite young, maybe two years younger than you! He is very rich, and he has been collecting this kind of gold coins for the past two years, and many black market merchants have made a lot of money because of it!" The boss continued after collecting the check: "I heard that Ding Yan once asked people to find Bowman, but he refused to sell the gold coins!"
The rest of the words don't need to be said explicitly, this person named Ding Yan is very suspicious, Qin Lin asked: "Can you find him? Just say that the gold coin is in your hand!"
The black market boss hurriedly shook his head: "I don't dare! Ding Yan is a big man in the underground world! Who dares to lie to him? Last time, there was a person who was not afraid of death who took a fake, and Ding Yan directly threw him into the sea to feed the fish! Besides, he was the only one looking for others, and no one else was looking for him, and his whereabouts were very mysterious!"
After that, the other party didn't have any more valuable information, so Qin Lin immediately contacted George and asked him to check this person named Ding Yan.
As a result, not to mention that the police couldn't find it, even the powerful Dog King and Hugo, who had outstanding hacking skills, didn't find Ding Yan's appearance and location. Qin Lin vaguely felt that this was a person who was probably as troublesome as Wei Feng.
At around 9 p.m., a group of police officers returned, but did not bring back any valuable clues. Wells, who hadn't been seen all day, also returned.
"I'm sorry! I just went to find an informant to learn about a case, and there was a traffic jam on the road, and I came back late!"
However, when Wells saw the picture of the ancient gold coin, the more he looked at it, the more serious he became, and finally frowned and said, "No? I saw this gold coin just now..."
According to the museum curator, the print on the back of this coin is different! In other words, each one is unique!
"You can't be wrong! That's the pattern!" Wells took a sip and continued, "I went to pay my informant, and this gold coin accidentally fell out of his pocket! I joked with him that this currency is no longer needed in this era...."
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Lin immediately asked him to contact this informant again!
Wells hurriedly took out his mobile phone, but the other party was already turned off.
"This guy has been my informant for two years, this is the last time I will work with him, and he will be ready to leave the country in a few days!"
"Send out the wanted warrant immediately! Especially the major airports and docks! Don't let him leave the United States!"
Although Qin Lin didn't know what the relationship between Wells, an informant, was with Ding Yan, he felt that the truth was not far away.
