Chapter 13: The Near the Water

After the police completed the on-site investigation, Dong Guozhi immediately organized people to turn the Longde Treasury into a temporary command center for the police, because under the premise that the situation was unclear, he could only deal with it according to the ordinary kidnapping case, so while searching for the kidnappers and Qian Xiuye all over the city, he was also waiting for the kidnappers to contact the people in the pawnshop and make requests.

The torture was arranged in a separate room, Ma Fei and She Caixiang were arranged in Qian Xiuye's bedroom, and Xiao Hei stayed in the backyard to stay with Dong Guozhi, because if the kidnappers called to make a request, they would definitely find the guys in the pawnshop.

However, Dong Guozhi knows better that She Caixiang should have suspicions, and she is also Qian Xiuye's apprentice, in Xiao Hei's confession, this pawnshop is very likely to be hers in the future, but he is more interested in what may be possible if Ma Fei and She Caixiang are arranged together.

She Caixiang and Ma Fei had a conflict before, but it was not said by Xiao Hei, a snobbish and clever person like Xiao Hei knew that if he said it, She Caixiang would definitely not let him go in the future - whether Qian Xiuye was rescued or Qian Xiuye was not rescued, She Caixiang inherited the pawnshop logically, and he would be expelled.

The contradiction between the two women was inferred by Dong Guozhi walking into the backyard and glancing at the broken tea set, and the overturned flower pots and other items, the kidnappers did not enter the backyard at all, but kidnapped Qian Xiuye at the gate, and later there were only these two women in the backyard, so just one glance, you can basically infer a * inseparable ten.

In addition, the torture technique said that Ma Fei was his fiancΓ©e, and the kind of eyes that the torture technique later looked at She Caixiang, also made Dong Guozhi draw the conclusion that the relationship between the three people was very delicate, so Dong Guozhi deliberately locked the two women together, maybe he could force out some of the situations he wanted to know.

After arranging all this, Dong Guozhi walked to the corner and lit a cigarette, looking at other colleagues who were busy, he suddenly felt that he was right to leave the Cultural Relics Investigation Department, to be precise, it was right to leave Fu Mingwei.

Although he did learn a lot from Fu Mingwei, the chicks must one day fly freely from the nest, and it is impossible to hide in the wings of the mother bird forever, so that there will be no growth.

At this time, in front of a stall on Liulichang Street, he changed his clothes again, and pasted a fake beard, and Chen Taidong, who was wearing an old-fashioned old military hat, looked at it with a pair of silver chopsticks in his hand, in fact, the corner of his eyes has been looking at the gate of the Longde Treasure House.

Although the blockade at the gate of the Longde Treasury has been removed, and the door has changed from uniformed policemen to plainclothes, Chen Taidong can still see it at a glance, the reason is very simple, those plainclothes obviously can't blend into the atmosphere of this street, no matter how they hide it, standing there still can't hide the unique momentum that they are policemen, because the police will observe the passing crowd with such sharp eyes, and look into the distance from time to time, and have simple eye contact with their colleagues.

"Gentlemen, these pairs of chopsticks have a lot of origins." The middle-aged boss of the stall held silver chopsticks in his hand, and Chen Taidong, who had not put it down, said, "I see that you are also a connoisseur, to tell you the truth, this is not an antique, but it must be an old object, you look carefully at the pattern on it, do you see it?" Looking together, it is nine dragons, there are four words on the left and right, the left side is written 'Chinese Empire', and the right side is written 'Hongwu Era', now you must know the origin of this silver chopsticks, right? ”

Chen Taidong raised his chopsticks: "Yuan Shikai used?" ”

The boss gave a thumbs up: "Cow! Or how can you say you're a connoisseur! ”

Chen Taidong put down the chopsticks properly, smiled, and got up to leave.

After Chen Taidong left, the boss sighed slightly and said to himself: "Yes, I sold it for nothing for a long time." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Taidong suddenly returned again, scaring the boss, and then Chen Taidong said in a low voice: "You, it's redundant to make up this story, first of all, if you really understand, you only need to weigh it, and you know that the weight of these chopsticks is wrong, it's too heavy, so there must be other metals added to it, and the outside is just wrapped with a layer of fine silver, but even if the weight is right, you say that this is a thousand feet of silver, that's also a joke, do you know why?" ”

The boss looked at Chen Taidong and shook his head.

"Thousand feet of silver, also with a content of 99.9%, the texture of chopsticks is too weak, and it is bent with a little force, so whether it is now or in the past, there are very few silver chopsticks of thousand feet of silver, and the royal family in the court does not use silver chopsticks, because it is slippery, it is inconvenient to pick up vegetables, and wooden chopsticks with dark lines are used, even if there are real ones, they are used by eunuchs who try dishes." Chen Taidong smiled, "So, if you want to make up a story to make up a story, it's best to tell people that the silver content of these chopsticks is 92.5%, which is the so-called Thai silver chopsticks, so it is reasonable, but it's reasonable to do business, integrity-based, and make a big deal here, none of them make a fortune by making a fortune from Mengren, so let's do it yourself, your road is still long, touch the door first." ”

The boss was stunned, he didn't say a word for a long time, and when he reacted, Chen Taidong had disappeared into the crowd.

"Forget it, let's close the stall, I can't do this business today." The boss squatted down and sighed, "I have to go back and cultivate more." ”

In the whole country, no, it should be said that in any antique street or antique city in the world, everyone who sets up a stall basically has one or two so-called treasures, and these so-called treasures they have made up stories that they think are great, but in fact they are full of loopholes, the purpose is to attract the attention of customers, and then take the opportunity to raise the price.

Of course, these methods are usually to deceive those who don't know how to pretend to understand, so the boss will deliberately praise Chen Taidong as an expert in his words, but he didn't expect that he really met an expert.

Chen Taidong, who was mixed in with the crowd, carefully observed the shops on the street, and he needed to find a chance to go around the back to have a look, after all, this place is very different from decades ago.

Chen Taidong didn't know that Qian Xiuye had been arrested, but he knew that something must have happened, otherwise there would not have been so many plainclothes, and similarly, while searching around for other locations to sneak into the Longde Treasury, he was also thinking about whether the police were looking for him and what happened to the Longde Treasury at the moment.

Of course, he didn't know that now in the Longde treasury, in addition to the Dong Guozhi who had always been at odds with him, there was also a criminal technique that he had never seen, but he admired very much in his heart, and Ma Fei, who was deduced by him to be an undercover Interpol agent in the last case.

At this time, the torture technique in the back warehouse of the Longde treasure house found something that Ning He was very puzzled by - there were too few porcelain antiques in the pawnshop warehouse, and the objects placed were basically gold and silver products, and most of the gold and silver products were old objects at best, or modern handicrafts, although many of them were also valuable, but they were not antiques.

Prosperous antiques, troubled gold. These eight words are well known, but now is a peaceful and prosperous era, and at the same time, anyone who knows about Qian Xiuye in the industry knows that his favorite is porcelain, not gold, but why are there so many gold products in the pawnshop warehouse?

After walking around the barnroom, he walked to the door and listened to the movement outside, then returned to the table, and easily opened the old-fashioned single-row marble lock of the drawer with the tool he had with him, and while opening it, he looked around the drawer to make sure that there were no self-destructing mechanisms, and slowly took out the register in it.

While taking out the registration book, the torturer subconsciously prepared to put on the gloves next to him to flip through them, but at the moment of touching the gloves, he found that the gloves were a little strange, and after a closer look, he found that the thickness of the gloves was wrong, and the position of the fingertips was slightly bulging.

Torture thought for a moment, took off one of the keys he had with him, carefully opened the registration book, and when he opened the first page, he found some fine powder in it, he sniffed it closely, wiped his hand on his pants, and then pinched it with his fingers and rubbed it.

"Magnesium powder." After confirming what the powder was, he turned his head to look at the glove, and pressed the key to the protruding position of the finger tip of the glove, and then water slowly flowed out of the finger end.

After turning a few pages with the key, he found nothing useful, and immediately understood, although he did not have a chance to confirm whether the magnesium powder in the register was elemental magnesium, because only elemental magnesium reacts when exposed to water, which would not only ruin the register, but also ruin the hands of the person wearing gloves.

Why did Qian Xiuye arrange it this way? Was he worried that someone would read the register? No, judging from the registration book alone, there is nothing important on it, and it is not worth it.

Torture Shu put the registration book back in the drawer, and at the same time restored all the surrounding objects to their original places, and slowly wiped the water off the tip of the finger sleeve with toilet paper, and after thinking about it, he opened the door of the warehouse and looked at Xiao Hei who was sitting on a chair on one side and waiting tremblingly.

"Blackie." Torture shouted softly, and when Xiao Hei raised his eyes to look at him, he nodded and motioned for him to come over.

Xiao Hei glanced at Fu Mingwei, who was busy next to him, got up and walked over, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Shu, what do you command?" ”

"You're older than me, just call me torture." Torture smiled, "It's nothing, I just noticed something wrong in the barn." ”

Xiao Hei was obviously stunned, and subconsciously glanced at the warehouse: "That, Brother Shu, although I am a few years older than you, you are always my predecessor in the industry, there is nothing wrong with calling Brother Shu, but what do you mean when you say that there is something wrong with the warehouse?" ”

"There's something missing." ”

Xiao Hei's face sank: "Less, what's missing?" ”

Torture raised his hand and pressed it on Xiao Hei's shoulder: "What do you say?" ”

The torture technique deliberately tested Xiao Hei, judging from Xiao Hei's reaction, he speculated that it was not far from ten, maybe the magnesium powder in the ledger and the gloves with simple mechanisms were directly related to Xiao Hei, because Qian Xiuye was the boss here, and he wanted to take away the things in the warehouse, which was a normal thing, and there was no need to destroy the ledger at all, and it was in such a simple and stupid way.

Xiao Hei's breathing became short, and just when he was about to kneel down to Xingshu, Xingshu raised his hand and grabbed his arms: "It's still too late to say anything now, this matter can be big or small, once the police intervene, your suspicion will be great." ”

Xiao Hei looked back at the group of policemen behind him slightly, then looked at the smiling face of the torture technique, and said in a low voice: "Brother Shu, I took the things, I took five things, all of them were gold tools, and they were sold to the practice stall." ”

Torture asked, "Why did you do this?" ”

"I play...... I played black lottery and lost a lot of money. Xiao Hei didn't dare to look directly into the eyes of the torturer, "I sold all the cars, I thought I could earn it back, who knows, the more you lose, the more you lose." ”

The torturer asked, "Did you borrow money from the black lottery dealer?" How much was borrowed? Who is the dealer? What is the background? ”

Xiao Hei said: "I don't have any background, I used to be a green skin, but there are still a lot of people under him." ”

Xingshu nodded slightly: "This green skin shouldn't have the courage to kidnap this thing, right?" ”

Xiao Hei immediately shook his head: "Impossible, he doesn't have that guts, and it's the money I owe, not the owner, so it's impossible for them to attack the owner." ”

Torture: "Got it, you can go." ”

When Xiao Hei was about to leave, he said a word of flattery: "Brother Shu, you are so powerful, for so long, even the owner didn't find anything missing, you can see it at a glance, you really deserve to be the proud protΓ©gΓ© of the Heavenly Dynasty, you can even know the things that are not recorded in the account book, Xiao Hei admires, admires." ”

Hearing this, Xingshu grabbed Xiao Hei's arm and asked, "You repeat what you just said." ”

Xiao Hei was also stunned, then repeated the previous words, and then asked: "Brother Shu, I was wrong, really wrong." ”

Torture turned to look at the table in the room: "You haven't touched the register?" Haven't touched those gloves either? ”

Xiao Hei looked surprised: "I didn't, those five pieces of gold, they were all dead, I didn't issue a ticket at all, so there was no record in the register at all, I made a look of putting it in the warehouse at that time, and then brought it out." ”

Xingshu frowned: "Who is in charge of the warehouse?" ”

Xiao Hei looked at Qian Xiuye's bedroom: "Ah Xiang, she has always been in charge, she is the last disciple of the Dong family, and the Dong family can only trust her." ”

Torture nodded: "You go, I'll look for you again if there's something." ”

"Huh." Xiao Hei nodded, turned around three times in one step, slowly walked back to his seat, and after sitting down, he looked at the torture technique that walked towards Qian Xiuye's bedroom.

It's noon, the temperature has risen by at least two degrees, and because of eating and resting, the flow of people on Liulichang Street is no longer as dense as before.

In broad daylight, it was impossible for Chen Taidong to infiltrate the Longde Treasury, at least until after nightfall, and in the past few hours, he had also bought newspapers, looked for a place to chat with the old man here, and only after making sure that the police had not issued a wanted warrant for him, he was relieved to come out.

He had nowhere to go, not because he had no acquaintances in Beijing, but because some of those people he did not trust and feared that those he trusted would be put in danger.

In the end, he had to find an express hotel to stay in, and this express hotel was the one where Xingshu and Ma Fei stayed.

At the same time as Chen Taidong moved in, Fu Mingwei, who had already arrived in Beijing, was rushing to the temporary command office designated by his superiors by car, and he didn't know where the temporary command office was.

Fu Mingwei had to think about how to deal with the contradiction with Dong Guozhi that could not be resolved at all, and for a while, he felt that he was completely in an iron pot on top of the simmering fire, and he was a frog waiting to be slowly cooked.

Fu Mingwei rubbed his forehead and asked the plainclothes man who was driving: "Dude, where is the temporary command office?" ”

The plainclothes man driving in front looked at him from the rearview mirror and said with a smile: "Team Fu, don't call me buddy, call me Chen Fang, you can call me Xiao Chen." ”

Fu Mingwei smiled: "Okay, Xiao Chen." ”

Chen Fang looked ahead and said: "Team Fu, the temporary command office is actually just a name, because this time the situation is very special, you also know that the Cultural Relics Investigation Department is only a unit for trial operation, and everyone is in the former place, and this is Beijing, it is impossible to mobilize the people, so the command office is actually only you and me, and the command office is located in an express hotel, not far from the location of the Qian Xiuye kidnapping case." ”

Fu Mingwei smiled bitterly: "It's about the same as I expected, Xiao Chen, which unit were you in before?" ”

"First at the police station, and later to the district criminal police team." Chen Fang smiled and glanced at the rearview mirror, "Team Fu, you are famous, you are the only criminal police captain with the rank of third-level police superintendent." ”

"Fame? I think it's notorious. Fu Mingwei looked at Chen Fang's right hand holding the steering wheel, there was a heavy callus on the index finger of his right hand, at this time the car turned, when Chen Fang turned the steering wheel, Fu Mingwei took the opportunity to observe his right hand and found that the situation was similar.

After the car turned and drove steadily, Fu Mingwei said, "Chen Fang, when were you transferred to the SWAT team?" ”

Chen Fang still looked ahead, and his face did not change: "Team Fu, what are you kidding, how can I join the SWAT team like this." ”

Fu Mingwei looked at Chen Fang and said with a smile: "Chen Fang, I don't know how long it will take for this case to be closed, and I don't know why you want to hide it from me, but you should know that since we are colleagues, we should be honest with each other, even if we don't say it, I will know sooner or later, you are hiding it from me now, and when you get your information from above, there will be a gap between the two of us, which will be very embarrassing." ”

"Team Fu, you misunderstood, I have my difficulties." Chen Fang replied calmly, "My main responsibility is to do my job well, assist you in your investigation, and provide you with relevant conveniences. ”

Fu Mingwei looked at Chen Fang's side face in the rearview mirror, and shifted his gaze to the car window: "Okay, I understand, after all, this is the capital, but with your words, I am a lot more relieved, at least I know that with you, the road ahead of me will be much easier." ”

Chen Fang just smiled slightly and didn't say anything more.

Ten minutes later, the car parked in the parking lot behind the express hotel, the two got out of the car, Chen Fang and Fu Mingwei went to the front desk to register, and it was not until after entering the elevator that Chen Fang spoke: "Team Fu, the torture also lives in this hotel." ”

Fu Mingwei was stunned: "The torture technique also lives here?" ”

Chen Fang smiled and said, "Yes." ”

Fu Mingwei smiled: "Interesting, this arrangement is really interesting." ”

Chen Fang replied: "This is my own decision, after all, the building near the water gets the moon first." ”

Fu Mingwei looked at Chen Fang and showed a meaningful smile, he knew that his superiors had really begun to pay attention to this series of strange cases this time, otherwise, it would be impossible to send this person named Chen Fang to assist him.
