Act XLII. MONSTER THIEF JOKER
"This ......"
Chen Chuchuan looked at the black and white clown card in the glass window that seemed to be laughing at himself, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Forget about stealing imitation exhibits, what does it mean to leave a playing card?
He thought of pleasure criminals who only appear in literary works such as novels and movies, and people who commit crimes just for their own pleasure.
The deliberately left playing cards, the ostentatious bow, and the slightly crazy and neurotic smile all confirm this.
"Find someone to open it and check the fingerprints."
Chen Chuchuan commanded, and went to confirm the surveillance video again.
At the same time, as the officer said, two people who looked exactly the same appeared.
Chen Chuchuan specially slowed down the scene of the "security guard" stealing.
Since there had never been a similar incident in the urban planning exhibition hall in the past, the security measures were still old-fashioned, the camera clarity was not high, and the coverage was not comprehensive enough.
Still, that scene was filmed.
I saw the "security guard" come to the cupboard, gently stretched out his hand towards the cupboard, and when he retracted it, he held the stalactite in his hand.
All this was so natural that Chen Chuchuan didn't notice it when he watched it for the first time.
The "security guards" stole stalactites without opening the cupboard at all!
Then, the "security guard", who had been about to leave, suddenly turned back, took out a stack of playing cards from his coat pocket, pulled out one of them, and with a slight flick of his wrist, the playing cards flew into the gap of the glass cabinet and fell to the original location of the stalactite.
"Playing cards with you?"
Chen Chuchuan was stunned, he couldn't understand what kind of way this guy was thinking.
However, from the surveillance video and the testimony of the security guard, Chen Chuchuan still deduced a lot of details.
"This prisoner came out of the bathroom, which means that he may have been hiding in the museum before it closed, so we need to search today's footage to see who entered the bathroom and didn't come out."
He quickly gave the order.
As for the strange way of stealing and the ability that seemed to be able to change his appearance, Chen Chuchuan had no clue.
He returned to the bureau and contacted the relevant departments to check the cameras on the road in front of the urban planning exhibition hall, but there were only traffic cameras on the road, and no more pictures were taken.
The Zhuxia Federation once proposed to establish a network of cameras called "Skynet" to cover every corner of the city, but in the end, due to privacy, technology and other reasons, this plan was only implemented as a pilot in some important areas of the capital Ningjiang.
"Boss, the results came out, at 5:40 p.m., a man entered the bathroom, and then did not come out until the suspect appeared, according to the comparison, the clothes he was holding in his hand were also similar to the clothes that the man was wearing."
When the police got the news, it was close to eleven o'clock, and it was raining lightly outside, and everyone in the bureau was a little sleepy, but they still forcibly cheered up.
The theft and injury incidents are in the city center, and they are superimposed, so that people can't pay attention to them.
"There is also a traveling exhibition in the pre-Honkai era in November, so we have to make sure that this place is safe......"
A colleague muttered to himself, there will be a traveling exhibition of those relics excavated from the abyss in November, and now the era exhibition of the urban planning exhibition hall is an outpost, if something goes wrong, then the pressure on the entire Jingjiang City will be great.
"And this guy knocked down three people at once, and his combat effectiveness is very high."
Another colleague repeatedly watched the clip of the suspect stuning the three security guards, because the frame rate was not high, and it was dark, there was no way to even clearly capture the man's movements, as if watching a movie, I don't know why, one move and one style looked slightly familiar.
Moreover, the man also had an exquisite poker throwing technique, and from the playing cards found at the scene, he did not find anything special about this card, and no fingerprints were detected.
That is, he simply relied on throwing and cut the telephone line with playing cards.
Is this really something that humans can do?
"It's dangerous for this guy to stay in Jingjiang."
Chen Chuchuan felt a little headache.
The ability to turn ordinary playing cards into a sharp weapon that can cut off the line, as well as the subtle disguise technique, and finally, the swaggering attitude of saluting to the camera, intuition tells Chen Chuchuan that this guy may be a madman, or a highly skilled madman.
"The point is, what's the point of him stealing that stalactite?"
Some people want to start with the motive to find the traces of the prisoner.
"Did you just steal it because it looked good?"
"It can't be, he was clearly premeditated."
"Or, that stone is actually not simple, you see, for example, there is something special hidden in it, you can't steal a stone and go home to decorate the flower pot......"
"You have to contact the organizer to confirm this."
"Maybe this is just a rehearsal, and the real purpose of the prisoner may be the Jingjiang City Museum next door?"
"There's no need to startle the snake at all, and this prisoner's methods are also very clumsy, and in the end, it is directly equivalent to robbing the capital."
"He seems to be proficient in martial arts, so maybe he can start investigating here."
The officers were gossiping about the details of the case.
Chen Chuchuan listened to their words, and the haze on his face became deeper and deeper.
The incident of the Smile Commercial Building was already very bizarre before, and now there is another strange case, and the recent Jingjiang is really eventful.
Whether the imitation stalactite is really a treasure, Chen Chuchuan doesn't know, there have been similar cases in the past, smuggling the real thing as an imitation, but it is a painting, and it still has artistic value, and what is the mystery of a stone that can be synthesized?
Chen Chuchuan looked at the information on the table, and accidentally caught a glimpse of the description of the urban planning exhibition hall.
"Natural stalactites have completely disappeared during the Great Collapse period, and the time is not enough to form stalactites of a similar volume, so the exhibits are all artificial imitations......"
Wait a minute.
Chen Chuchuan felt something.
If we say, the pure natural stalactites have not all disappeared, but have been preserved in some hidden cave......
Such a product before the Great Collapse, not to mention the priceless price, is enough to make thieves flock to it, if there is a little bit of it inside, well, it is called a fragment of history, right?
That's a lot of money.
Is that really the case?
Some forces took advantage of the opportunity of this exhibition to smuggle and sell these precious cultural relics for profit?
The more he thought about it, the more Chen Chuchuan felt the seriousness of the problem.
After thinking for a moment, he gave instructions.
"Investigate the cameras in the surrounding malls and public facilities to see if you can catch each other's traces, and then contact the organizers of the show to investigate their backgrounds and all the exhibits, and ......"
Before Chen Chuchuan finished speaking, he was interrupted by the ringtone of his mobile phone.
He glanced at the mobile phone on the table that was buzzing and vibrating and ringing by default, and wanted to press it directly, but found that it was a familiar number in the clicker display.
Internal code 10000.
Department of Abyssal Relic Affairs.
"Wait a minute."
He hurriedly interrupted the discussion and quieted everyone down.
Among the people present, Chen Chuchuan had the highest rank, so no one objected.
He picked up the phone and waited for a few seconds before a cold, clear female voice came from the other side.
"The case of the Urban Planning Exhibition Hall will be taken over by the Abyss Relic Affairs Division from now on, the exhibition can continue, and you will put all the materials of the case in ...... tomorrow"
That was one of the voices Chen Chuchuan heard in the cinema before.
She briefly explained how the materials were delivered, but other than that, it was the same as the previous time, without revealing any information.
"Wait, wait, this case involves the Ascender?"
Chen Chuchuan couldn't help but ask, with a slight tremor in his voice, which surprised the silent police officers on the side, their leader was not such a person who was easily flustered.
"That's why we took over."
The other side paused for a moment before speaking.
"Will this incident affect ordinary people and jeopardize their safety?"
Chen Chuchuan seized this opportunity and asked as if pleading.
"We'll protect the city."
The other party said lightly, not hearing any emotion.
"Also."
Just when Chen Chuchuan thought that the dialogue would end there, the other party spoke again.
"The person who committed this incident today is a recent Ascender crime, codenamed [Monster Thief JOKER], please only notify this internally, so that your people can pay more attention to his movements."
After saying that, the other party hung up the phone.
“...... Everybody pause. ”
Chen Chuchuan put down his phone and said to the others.
"This case is over here, and it will be handed over to the Abyss Relic Affairs Department for handling, everyone can sort out the information and go back to rest."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the phone with a black screen and repeated the name softly.
"[Monster Thief JOKER] ......"
