On the morning of the next day, Professor Cui was picked up by the school and transferred to a larger hospital in the city to continue his treatment.

The big hospital is also very close to Jinhai University, so Zhou Xiaolong followed the car sent by the school and returned to Jinhai City together.

Zhou Xiaolong's health is very good, he is not willing to stay in the hospital, in case the doctor uses high-tech equipment to find out that he is a hundred years ago, it will be bad.

originally wanted to escape from the hospital and go home, but as soon as Zhou Xiaolong walked to the door of the ward, he saw Long Linna walking towards him from the other end of the corridor.

"Xiaolong, where are you going?!" Long Linna asked.

"Ah, Officer Long, I'm fine, I want to go home."

"Don't worry about things at home, I will help you convey anything, you'd better check it in the hospital, don't rush home ......"

"Thank you, Officer Long, I'm really fine," Zhou Xiaolong waved his arm opposite Long Linna, and then jumped a few more times, "Look, I'm fine, I'm still alive!" ”

"Well, that's good, Xiaolong, you have made a great contribution this time, it is a great achievement, the leaders of the city bureau want to thank you in person, do you know, how much gold is hidden behind the gas valve?"

Lifting the gold behind the gas valve, Zhou Xiaolong suddenly remembered those tomb robbers, "Officer Long, did you police catch those thieves?" ”

"Well, I got it, but those three are dead......"

"All dead?!"

"Well, when our police arrived, those three people had already been poisoned to death, and the forensic doctor said that it was poisoning by gas......"

"Wait a minute," Zhou Xiaolong hurriedly interrupted Long Linna, "How many people have you found?!" ”

"Three!" Long Lina replied.

"No, no!!" Zhou Xiaolong shook his head and said.

"What's wrong?!" Long Linna was stunned.

At that time, Zhou Xiaolong remembered very clearly, the middle-aged man with four people, together, there were a total of five people.

Lao Hei stayed on it and went down to four people, including the middle-aged man.

However, Long Linna said that only three people were found inside the gas valve, and they had been poisoned by poison gas, so what about the other two?

Hearing Zhou Xiaolong say this, Long Linna also became nervous, "Ah, you mean that there are five people in total, and when the police arrived at the scene, two people actually escaped?" ”

Zhou Xiaolong asked again, "So, are those gold bars missing?" ”

Long Linna shook her head, "There are a lot of gold bars, whether they are less or less, I can't see it, but there should be no shortage, right?" ”

Zhou Xiaolong sighed, lowered his head and said, "Alas, it seems that the middle-aged man is very cunning and let him run away!! ”

Under Long Linna's questioning, Zhou Xiaolong said his thoughts and speculations.

The middle-aged man with glasses who looked like Sven was very cunning, otherwise he wouldn't have been the leader of those thieves, and when the police came, he must have taken advantage of the chaos to escape.

After the middle-aged man left the gas valve, he met Lao Hei who was knocked unconscious by Zhou Xiaolong on the way, so he woke up Lao Hei, and the two of them escaped together.

However, the three people who entered the vault were too greedy and inhaled too much poisonous gas to save them, so the middle-aged man had to give up.

However, even if the middle-aged man and Lao Hei can take away some gold, the gold is very heavy after all, and they can't take much with them, so the loss will not be particularly large.

The gold case escaped two suspects, which is undoubtedly an important clue, Long Linna asked Zhou Xiaolong to go back to the public security building with her to do a puzzle of the suspect's face, so as to catch the middle-aged man and Lao Hei early.

Because, these people are not only criminals in the gold case, but also tomb robbers, experienced repeat offenders.

Zhou Xiaolong just wanted to leave the hospital, so he returned to the ward to say hello to Professor Cui, and followed Long Linna into the police car and drove towards the city bureau building.

In the car, Long Linna remembered something, so she said to Zhou Xiaolong: "Xiaolong, there was another incident recently, Gu Dongping has woken up......"

Gu Dongping? Who is Gu Dongping?

Zhou Xiaolong thought for a while, and then remembered that Gu Dongping was Gu Fang's father.

It is said that Gu Dongping is the big boss of a consortium in Jinhai, and he is a pivotal figure in the business world.

A few days ago, Gu Dongping was assassinated, and a foreign body like a jujube kernel dart was inserted into his brain, but fortunately, Zhou Xiaolong took out the foreign body without a craniotomy, which can be regarded as saving Gu Dongping's life.

Hearing the news that Gu Dongping woke up, Zhou Xiaolong was also very happy, so he asked Long Linna: "Gu Dongping is awake, how is he now, has he regained consciousness?" ”

Long Linna told Zhou Xiaolong that although Gu Dongping's consciousness had recovered, fortunately he did not become a vegetative person, but the most bizarre thing was that Gu Dongping had amnesia.

Gu Dongping's amnesia is not complete amnesia, but partial amnesia, about how Gu Dongping was assassinated, and the impression of the day of the assassination, Gu Dongping can't remember, but he hasn't forgotten other memories.

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaolong asked suspiciously: "Officer Long, you mean that Gu Dongping just forgot what happened on the day of the assassination, right?" ”

Long Linna nodded and said, "Judging from the clues we have obtained so far, it seems that this is the case. ”

Then, Zhou Xiaolong thought of the name Zhao Gongshan, and recently, Zhou Xiaolong had heard the name "Zhao Gongshan" from the mouths of three people.

The first time was the text engraved on the jujube kernel dart, the second time was mentioned by Xiaoqing, and the third time, the middle-aged man of the tomb robbery gang also mentioned it, it seems that Zhao Gongshan is also a big man in Jinhai.

The two of them were talking and thinking about the recent case, and they had already returned to the city bureau building.

Zhou Xiaolong followed a police officer to do a portrait puzzle of the suspect, and Long Linna used the computer to search for information about Zhao Gongshan, and when Zhou Xiaolong finished the portrait puzzle, Long Linna still did not find any useful information.

"Officer Long, how's it going, did you find it?" Zhou Xiaolong walked to the front of the computer and asked.

"No, from the police files, you can find some people named Zhao Gongshan, but the people who used this name, the computer records show that they have all died, and none of them are alive."

Zhou Xiaolong recalled that Luo Taiping had also said before that Zhao Gongshan was already very old.

Perhaps, Zhao Gongshan is really no longer alive!

Zhou Xiaolong said again: "Officer Long, judging from the news I heard recently, it seems that Zhao Gongshan is not the direct murderer who assassinated Gu Dongping, but the murderer used some magic weapons made by Zhao Gongshan, and Gu Dongping's case is probably not directly related to Zhao Gongshan. ”

"Xiaolong, I also have some thoughts recently, about that jujube kernel dart...... Long Linna slowly raised her head and looked at Zhou Xiaolong.

"Oh, what thoughts, can you tell me?"

"Xiaolong, have you read the novel "Sherlock Holmes"?"

"Uh......"

When it comes to Sherlock Holmes, Zhou Xiaolong has not only never read this novel, but he has never even heard of Sherlock Holmes, a great detective.

Long Linna saw that Zhou Xiaolong looked confused, so she had to immediately explain: "In this novel, there is a story, in this story, the criminal used a murder weapon, which looks like a recorder, but you can put a poison needle in the flute, and blow it with your mouth, you can use it as a hidden weapon, a hidden weapon for killing......"

"Officer Long, what do you mean......" Zhou Xiaolong nodded thoughtfully, "Is it likely that that jujube dart was also launched by such a device?" ”
