Chapter 2: The Disappearance of a National Treasure
The night was very cold, the wind was in danger, and there were whimpering. {We don't write novels, we're just web text porters-
On the top floor of the highest building in the Maple Leaf Community of the Dawn Development Zone of Jinxiu City, a vague black figure quietly came.
The figure took out a pulley with a diameter of one foot in his bosom and fixed it to the female wall on the top floor, then took out the rope in his bosom, wound one end of the rope around the pulley, and tied the other end to the sliding buckle fixed at the waist of his bodysuit.
After trying his hand at the firmness, he jumped lightly, jumped over the female wall on the top floor of the building, and slid down the rope.
Tapping the walls of the building with his feet again and again, the rope quickly lengthened, and the black figure descended rapidly. Upon descending to the seventeenth floor of the building, the black figure pressed the lock, locked the rope, and stopped outside the window on the seventeenth floor of the building.
After observing the probe and confirming that there was no one in the room, he took out a dagger, cut the rubber insulation between the plastic steel window and the glass, used a rubber suction cup to remove the two layers of glass, and then transported it into the window and placed it lightly on the indoor window sill. After that, he did not stop, but with a slight swing of his feet, he took the lead and slipped through the window.
The black figure unbuckled, lowered the rope gently, and walked towards the room with his legs raised.
This is a study, the owner is probably just decorating the faΓ§ade with books, and the books on the shelves look very new, and there is no trace of reading them at all. The black figure patrolled the room, at the desk, on the shelf, in the vase, and in the paper basket, and found nothing. He paused, his eyes narrowed into slits, and took a closer look at the room.
Soon, a slightly upturned wallpaper on the wall caught his attention, and he hurriedly walked over.
Here, as elsewhere, there is a light brown chrysanthemum wallpaper, but a closer look reveals that there is a very thin gap in the wallpaper, and there is a wallpaper at the top of the gap that is turned up. Let a little of the wall itself be exposed. The gap is small, and if you don't look at it carefully enough, it's easy to ignore the past.
The black figure tapped lightly against the wall. He was overjoyed to find that the sound of the knocking here was significantly different from the knocking sound on the wall next to him. Know that something has been discovered. He fumbled his way through the gap, and soon a raised dot touched his fingers, and he pressed the dot lightly, and the wall made a "click" sound of the spring running, and the wall opened in response, revealing a rectangular space.
In the innermost part of the space, an iron door of a safe stood opposite, and the eyes of the black figure showed joy.
This safe has two cipher disks. and a keyhole.
The black figure said into the air, "AK-50 personal safe." β
A metallic voice came from his ear: "Attach the microphone to the safe door and insert the key." β
The black figure said, "OK".
He did what he said.
"Spin the cipher disk." A voice rang in my ears.
He began to turn the cipher disks, which turned three times to the left and three times to the right, and as he turned, he reported the numbers to the air.
"Point the top cipher disk to 9 and the lower cipher disk to 12." The voice in his ear said.
He twisted the cipher disc to the indicated position, twisted the key, and a "click" came to his ears, and the safe door opened.
"Empty!" The black figure's eyes flashed, and he said without surprise or joy in his tone.
A metallic voice came: "It seems that our information is wrong, search the room carefully." If nothing new is discovered, the room is to be restored to its original state and evacuated immediately. β
The black figure got busy.

The fifth day of his appointment as deputy director of the Management Committee of the Development Zone. Kong Xianglin accompanied Director Zhang Mingchun, who came down from the province to inspect the overall planning and construction of the development zone. Driving the Zhonghua car of the Development Zone Management Committee, Kong Xianglin opened his mouth and asked: "Director Zhang, lingering in the Liming Development Zone, no one will raise opinions, right?" β
Zhang Mingchun said with a smile: "Just mention it!" I don't care. Those of us who came down to inspect are still self-aware, and on the surface, you flatterers and laughers who are responsible for reception, but behind the scenes, you don't know how to arrange us and scold us. If you can't stand a few opinions, what else will you do? What kind of autumn wind did you come down to? β
Kong Xianglin laughed dryly, got to the point, and said, "I'm afraid our plan has changed. β
Zhang Mingchun frowned: "What's the matter?" β
Kong Xianglin found Zhang Mingchun looking surprised. But there was no surprise in his eyes, and he couldn't help but have a suspicion in his heart that even he didn't dare to believe. However, he will not come out: "I got reliable information, and the things are not in Li Dada's hands." β
Zhang Mingchun looked at Kong Xianglin and asked, "...... him Could it be hidden? β
This time, Kong Xianglin still didn't see the surprise in his eyes. The doubt in my heart strengthened by two points. Therefore, he deliberately probed: "It doesn't look like it, I learned through my special channel that he has been extremely anxious for the past two days, scolding people from time to time, throwing things, and constantly asking people to look for something, I suspect that the treasure is very likely to have been stolen." β
Zhang Mingchun sat up straight abruptly and scolded: "****, won't you, lose it?" β
"There's a problem!" Kong Xianglin secretly said in his heart, his reaction was too exaggerated.
"This is just a conjecture I have made through his cousin, and it is not known whether this is the case. Of course, if he really just hid instead of losing it, then I would have to admire the nouveau riche's realistic acting skills, and the next time I look at the Oscars, I nominate him for the Best Acting Award. Kong Xianglin said with a smile.
Zhang Mingchun listened to Kong Xianglin's cold jokes, at least on the surface, he looked depressed.
Kong Xianglin smiled slightly, stepped on the accelerator, and drove to the next unit to be inspected with the middle-aged man who was already slightly bald on his head.

Li Dafa stood in the study and angrily threw the ceramic pen holder in his hand to the ground, pointed to the empty safe with the cabinet door wide open, and scolded fiercely: "It's all fucking rice buckets!" With so many living people, how can a thief be allowed to come in? β
Several people in security uniforms stood in front of him, cowering and bowing their heads and not daring to squeak, leaving him alone to vent his anger.
Wang Chi walked up and persuaded: "Dong Li, you dissipate your anger." I can't just think about the bad things, but if I look at it from another angle, maybe it's still a good thing! β
Li Dafa was so angry that he gave him a kick: "Let your mother's dog stinky fart." Is it a good thing to lose something? β
Wang Chi was kicked, not only was he not angry, but said with a smile: "You want to." In the past few days since you got the baby, how many groups of people have been thinking about it? Isn't it clean when things are gone? β
Li Dafa gasped for a while. A breath of anger finally subsided a little. After a long time, he stared at Wang Chi and said, "Isn't someone leaking the news?" If I had known who had done it, I wouldn't have spared him! But boy, what you said is not unreasonable, the things are gone, and these little foxes and old foxes will stop. It's just that there is nothing in my heart, and my heart is really empty......"
Wang Chi saw that Li Dafa had recovered from his angry state, and hurriedly stepped forward to pat him on the chest and beat him on the back. flatteringly: "Chairman Li, don't forget that there is an old Chinese saying: If you lose your horse, you will not know if you are blessed!" In fact, whether losing something is a good thing or a bad thing depends on how we deal with it, and there are a lot of articles we can do here! β
Li Fa Da rolled his eyes and asked, "How do you say this?" β
Wang Chi hurriedly said: "You said, can we really keep this treasure if we get it?" Apparently not. After a long time, there will always be a possibility of leaking out, after the country knows about it. You must not be allowed to continue to collect, you will definitely take it away. In other words, this treasure will not belong to us in the final analysis. β
Li Dafa said angrily: "It's not good. Otherwise, I don't have to be so annoyed, today's district director, tomorrow's city leaders, look at their faces, which one is not here for our baby? If they had really caught me hiding this treasure at that time, I am afraid that I would have taken it away long ago. β
Wang Chi continued: "But do you think, if we dig up a treasure in this place, sooner or later everyone will know about it, right?" How much is there in this, can we dig deeper? β
Li Dafa raised his eyebrows: "Interests? β
Wang Chi said with a smile: "Our baby is lost." But isn't the treasure of feng shui still there? β
Li Fa Fa rolled his eyes, and smiled knowingly: "You mean to engage in real estate?" Attaboy. It is worthy of engaging in the construction industry, this head is good. How did you come up with such a treacherous idea? β
Wang Chi patted his ass and said: "It's not like you've been with Uncle Li for a long time, and you've been stained with so much aura!" β
Li Dafa said in high spirits: "Okay, just do it, the planning of the pharmaceutical factory will be re-planned for me, and the piece will be re-planned for me to be a commercial house." β
Wang Chi shook his head and said, "Dong Li, we are violating the agreement." β
Li Dafa suddenly figured out the key here, couldn't help but droop his head, and said disappointedly: "Then what should I do?" β
Wang Chi hurriedly came up with an idea and said: "You don't have to be discouraged, this Ming plank road can't be cultivated, can't we still secretly Chen Cang?" β
Li Fa's eyes lit up and asked, "What kind of dark Chen Cang?" β
Wang Chi said with a smile: "We have so many employees in the pharmaceutical factory, and we have solved so many employment problems for the development zone, so the workers always need housing, right?" Let's develop a few staff dormitories, and the management committee of the development zone will not even interfere with this, right? At that time, the private property of the employees wants to be sold to the outside world, and of course we Li have no right to intervene......"
"Hehe, boy, you're really traitor! I like it though. Work hard, and the company will never give you less in the future. Li Dafa was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.
"I can't write two Li in one stroke, divided into something, when did I care? Uncle Li, what I want, you know, I ...... with him" Wang Chi said a little nervously.
The smile on Li Fafa's face disappeared suddenly, and he said coldly: "Wang Chi! Follow me to make money, I won't treat you badly, but don't think about the good thing of toads eating swan meat! β
After that, Li Dafa snorted coldly, drove away the security guard, and turned around and left, leaving Wang Chi alone in the study.
Wang Chi looked at Li Fa's distant back, and his eyes showed uncontrollable hatred.

The next day, the office of the deputy director of the Management Committee of Liming Development Zone, Jinxiu City.
The red phone on Kong Xianglin's desk rang, and his heart moved, and he picked it up.
The unique and magnetic voice of Lin Shaofeng, director of the Management Committee of the Development Zone, came from the phone: "Director Bai, if you have time, come to my office." β
Putting down the phone, Kong Xianglin thought for a while, carefully read the document on the table, and then carefully put it into the Qiankun bag, got up and went to Director Lin's office.
The Qiankun bag is a kind of magical bag, which can store items several times or even dozens of times larger than its own volume, and will not affect its own lightness because the contents are too heavy, and it is a commonly used storage item for cultivators and supernatural people.
Knocked on the door. Lin Shaofeng's voice came from the director's office: "Come in!" β
Kong Xianglin pushed the door in: "Director Lin, are you looking for me?" β
Lin Shaofeng is over fifty years old, with gray hair, thin figure and sallow complexion. He is a local cadre of Splendid City and once worked in the Municipal Government Office of Splendid City. He served as the chief of staff for six years and has extensive administrative experience.
Lin Shaofeng glanced up and said, "Director Bai is here, please take a seat." Then he said to his secretary Zhang Xun, "Xiao Zhang, make a cup of Biluochun for Director Bai." β
After speaking, Lin Shaofeng didn't wait for his secretary Zhang Xun to come over, and said to Kong Xianglin: "Look at my memory. I don't ask you what kind of tea you like to drink......"
Kong Xianglin hurriedly said: "Biluochun is very good, I am a cow when I drink tea, and I can't drink anything good or bad." β
Lin Shaofeng smiled: "Director Bai, you are really a real person, and I am the same!" There is nothing good about drinking tea, but in front of people, you always have to pretend to be an expert and evaluate it, as if you know it well. β
Zhang Xun made tea for Kong Xianglin, exited Lin Shaofeng's office, and closed the door for the two.
Kong Xianglin snorted. Knowing that Lin Shaofeng must have something to say when he came to him, he used the lid of the cup to swing the floating tea and quietly tasted the fragrance of tea. Waiting for his next step.
Lin Shaofeng saw that Kong Xianglin looked like an old god, calm and abnormal, and secretly admired in his heart, it was difficult for him to do such a thing at his age. So he stopped talking nonsense and said: "Today, Li Fada, the boss of Li's Pharmaceutical in the Development Zone, reported to the Public Security Bureau of the Development Zone that he found a priceless bronze antique in the factory construction site, which was temporarily placed in his own safe, and he planned to hand it over to the state in the next few days. Unexpectedly, his house was burglarized last night, and antiques were stolen. β
Kong Xianglin raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Is there such a thing? But he snorted coldly in his heart: Last night? Lao Tzu found out the night before yesterday that the thing was no longer in his safe.
Lin Shaofeng said: "Who said it wasn't? According to himself. This bronze antique was a sacrificial item for shamanic chiefs in the pre-Jin period and is priceless. It is a national treasure. In the event that it is obtained by the smuggling syndicate, it will definitely be a great loss to our country if it flows abroad through guΓ² smuggling channels. β
After speaking, he looked at Kong Xianglin's reaction and continued: "But I see, what he said is not true-if he really wants to hand it in, why wait more-I guess he must be happy to see the hunt and want to keep it privately, but he is afraid that the national law will not allow it, and he is struggling with whether to make friends or not, but unfortunately he was given the first step by the gentleman of Liangshang." β
Kong Xianglin frowned and asked, "When did you know about this?" β
Lin Shaofeng said: "Li Dafa went to the Public Security Bureau of the Development Zone this morning to report the case, and Captain Li Jing of the criminal police team attached great importance to the case after receiving the report, and reported the case to me level by level without delay. He himself has already sent people to the scene, after all, this is a national treasure-level cultural relic, criminals are not easy to shoot, if they can solve the case as soon as possible, maybe there is a chance to recover it. β
Kong Xianglin took a sip of tea, his fingers tapped on the armrest of the sofa, and after a while, he asked, "What does Director Lin mean?" He didn't know why Lin Shaofeng wanted to tell him this, could it be that he knew his identity and this mission through some channels? No, it can't be! He is a one-line contact, except for "Seventeen", as long as Kong Xianglin himself does not reveal his identity, no one knows that he is an investigator of the Military Intelligence Agency.
Lin Shaofeng quietly observed Kong Xianglin's reaction, did not disturb him, and when he asked, he said with a slight smile: "Although Director Bai is young, he is calm and sophisticated, and other affairs in the development zone are on the right track, so I don't have to worry about Director Bai. β
Lin Shaofeng's arrangement was in Kong Xianglin's arms. He was worried that there was no reasonable reason to intervene in the investigation of the bronze totem, and now that he was sleepy, someone sent a pillow, which was really good. But he naturally couldn't say it directly, and he had to make a gesture to excuse himself: "Director Lin, you see that I am a person who studied gardening, and I am not good at solving cases, didn't you send me over to cause chaos for Captain Li?" β
In fact, he said this for another purpose, this matter should not have been brought forward by the management committee, but Lin Shaofeng wanted to intervene himself, what was his intention? Kong Xianglin's words can just be a little probe.
Lin Shaofeng sighed: "Alas, Director Bai, you don't know, this Li Dafa is not easy to mess with, he can come to our development zone to build a factory, I don't know how much effort it took our management committee." Now, he lives in our development zone, but he has lost such a valuable thing. You don't know, he's making trouble at home right now! Where can Li Jing hold him down? Asked me for help.
Originally, I was going to go by myself, but you know, my heart is not very good, and if I go in person, he will count a few words and get sick again, but it will be bad. So the old brother had no choice but to make a hard trip to Director Bai. β
"Okay, I'll follow up." Kong Xianglin didn't believe the old fox's nonsense, but no matter what his purpose was, it had nothing to do with him Kong Xianglin. Now his primary goal is to find out the whereabouts of the bronze totem, so naturally he will not refuse Lin Shaofeng's arrangement.

Li Jing is about 30 years old, and he wears a police uniform, which looks righteous and majestic.
Kong Xianglin saw him at the gate of the Maple Leaf Community in the Liming Development Zone. At this time, he was anxious because of Li Fafa's nuisance.
Seeing Kong Xianglin's arrival, he looked obviously relieved, and said to Kong Xianglin: "Director Bai, you are here!" Don't you know, this Li Dafa is going to annoy me to death, and when he calls two hundred times a day, he asks me: Has the thief been caught? Did you chase something back? I don't have to do anything else, just busy with his case, I just want to take a breath. β
Kong Xianglin said with a smile: "Xiao Li, don't say it, I'm not from a criminal investigation background, you can't point to me in handling the case, I came, I can only help you appease and appease Li Dafa, as for this case, you have to rely on yourself." β
Li Jing said that he understood: "If you can help me appease him, I will burn high incense!" (To be continued.) )
