I told Qu Mo that he was dying, and that he was crazy about carrying out big cases just to fulfill his lifelong wish.

However, most people disagree with this idea. Indeed, this is just a conjecture of mine, without any factual basis.

Of course, this speculation of mine and the card of the killing angel Cyra in my hand are just an episode of Lao Lu's meeting, and what they really need to solve now is the terrorist phone threat suffered by the gold tycoon Yan Chengli.

Lao Lu brought the topic back to Yan Chengli's question, he stood in front of the conference table, held a cigarette in his right hand, and said: "We must attach great importance to the threat of Yan Chengli, I have decided to form a control in Yan Chengli's villa, and conduct an interrogation of suspicious characters, so that the threat can retreat." ”

After Lao Lu finished speaking, a criminal policeman from the technical department asked to speak, and he said: "In the past few days, we have followed up and searched for the threatening call, and we found that its shielding technology is very advanced, I don't think ordinary people can do it." Before, Consultant Ouyang thought that Qu Mo did it, and I also agreed. ”

Lao Lu took a puff of cigarette, nodded, looked at me and asked, "Ouyang, I'm also worried about this, and the content of the threatening phone call, according to Yan Chengli's housekeeper and his children, has only one sentence, 'I'm going to kill you'." Do you think this matter really has anything to do with Qu Mo? ”

I looked at the Killing Angel card in my hand, compared it with what was said in the threatening phone call, and then held the card and said, "The killing angel Cyra represents slaughter, a symbol of the killer." The content of the threatening phone call was only five words: 'I'm going to kill you', which I confirmed was related to Qu Mo. And I have a way to prove it. ”

Everyone looked at me with wide eyes, and Lao Lu said, "What way?" ”

I said, "Check my phone? ”

Lao Lu asked puzzledly, "Check your mobile phone?" What do you mean? ”

I said, "I also received a call from an unknown number on my phone a few days ago, and I am 100% sure that it is a call from someone from the Qumo crime group. That comrade from the technical department, you can check whether the phone call I received was the same as the phone call Yan Chengli received. If it is the same, then it can prove that Yan Chengli has been threatened by Qu Mo. ”

Lao Lu nodded and said, "Well, it's a good way, Xiao Xue, can you do it?" ”

Xiao Xue of the technical department stood up and said, "Team Lu, you can do it." ”

After the meeting of the criminal investigation team, it was arranged how to protect Yan Chengli and how to control some of the contents of his villa. I deserted in the middle of it, because I felt like I was using Mu Qiushui again. The unknown phone number I asked the technical department to check was from Mu Qiushui.

Looking at the killing angel card in my hand, I actually felt a little guilty about Mu Qiushui in my heart.

It's strange why do I feel guilty, is it just that I used the unknown phone she was talking to me before?

This mentality makes me laugh at myself. But I know that if you let this mentality grow and grow in your heart, it will not be simply ridiculous, it will be pathetic.

The technical department quickly came to a conclusion, indeed, the phone call Mu Qiushui gave me was the same as the threatening call Yan Chengli received, and its shielding technology was the same, so it was confirmed that this matter was related to Qu Mo.

After Lao Lu learned about it, he attached great importance to this case, because he knew that none of the cases involved in Qu Mo were petty. Therefore, a large number of police forces were applied for the protection of Yan Chengli.

But I know that the criminals under Qu Mo are the best of the best. Take He Yunjing's death, so far no result has been found, and I don't know how the killer did it under the noses of the escorts.

However, I know that if you want to solve the case involved in Qu Mo, you must not think from common sense, and the technical means in his hand, even if a UFO bombs Yan Chengli's house at this time, I will not be too surprised.

Of course, to protect Yan Chengli, of course, Yan Chengli's home must be explored in detail.

As a gold tycoon, Yan Chengli's residence is of course different from ordinary people. He invested tens of millions of dollars to build the Yan Mansion next to Taibai Park in Taibai Rock. This Yan Mansion is actually a beautifully designed independent villa, its geographical location is surrounded by mountains, lying in the green forest, very comfortable and comfortable, because of the paradise in general

As for why Yan Chengli chose to be in Taibaiyan, it is also quite particular.

Taibai Rock, as early as the Wei and Jin dynasties, has become a famous mountain in Shu, since the Tang and Song dynasties, there are many inscriptions. Li Bai, Huang Tingjian, Lu You, He Qifang, Liu Mengyan and other famous poets in ancient and modern times have come here to express their nostalgia; Zhuo'an, Poshan Haiming and other senior monks and old Taoists have come here to preach and teach. "Absolute dust niche" is said to have been built in the period of Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, now leaning on the rock to build the shrine, the foundation hole still exists, "the absolute dust niche" three words, the word diameter is 0.75 meters, the word spacing is 0.70 meters, the italic horizontal book, the font is clear, it has been more than 1700 years ago. Tang built "Rock Climbing Pavilion" and "Guande Pavilion", Ming built "Xishan Taibai Temple", and Qing built "Baiyan Academy". There are more than 60 pieces of cliff stone carvings in the Jin, Tang, Song, Ming, Qing and Republic of China periods between the rocks, among which there are many Huazhang Xiu sentences and calligraphy treasures. On September 1, 1988, the "Taibai Rock Carving Group" and "Baiyan Calligraphy Tablet" were originally announced as "Key Cultural Relics Protection Units" by the Wanxian Municipal People's Government.

Taibai Park, located on the Taibai Rock, is also extremely prestigious in Wanzhou. It is 3 kilometers long, covers an area of 60 hectares, and has an altitude of 232-405 meters. In ancient times, it had the reputation of "Xishan Sunset", "Baiyan Immortal Traces" and "the first mountain in Wanzhou"; Today, it has the reputation of "Three Gorges Wonderland", "Three-dimensional Park", "Cultural Garden" and so on. The strange rocks in the park are volleying, and the forests are lush; Cave clear spring, cloud ladder plank road, book house ancestral house, Taoist Buddha Hall, celebrity cemetery, cliff stone carving, wall tablet gallery, scattered in the meantime. Climb high and look far away, the vast Yangtze River and the towering Shu Mountain are in full view. Browsing the park, the majestic, dangerous, strange and secluded natural scenery is pleasing to the eye.

Being able to build a villa in such a position shows that Yan Chengli not only has abundant funds, but also has an extraordinary social status. So he received death threats, can Lao Lu not be nervous?

When I understood all this, I also understood Qu Mo's criminal purpose. It seems that Qu Mo has seen that Yan Chengli is about to travel to the immortals, and is ready to plunder the golden empire in his hand, although his practice of raising merchants with crime is not a common thing for me, but his modus operandi every time is novel and weird. I really can't see through what kind of means he will use to deal with Yan Chengli and his companies.

Since it is to protect Yan Chengli, it is necessary to conduct a thorough investigation of Yan Chengli's Yan Mansion first.

At this time, it cannot be said that autumn is crisp, but it is the season of recovery, and the new shoots on the trees are so green that they seem to me to be more vibrant than the colorful flowers.

Entering the high iron gate, there was a piece of artificial turf outside the Yan Mansion, and the turf was separated by small cement lattices, and the green grass grew in these lattices.

Of course, the reason for this design is that the turf is actually a parking lot, and the concrete lattices protect the green grass from being run over by cars.

Liu Sanxun's driving skills have always been admired by me, and he is very skillful in parking the car in the planned parking space.

As soon as I got out of the car, I felt the smell of the mountains coming from the surface, and the aroma of plants and earth was refreshing.

This Yan Mansion is indeed a big deal, because it is an independent villa, for the sake of safety, so outside the mansion is a red high wall, the height of this high wall is more than three meters, it is no problem to prevent ordinary small thieves, but when encountering extraordinary snitches, of course, it is also useless.

I got out of the car and turned back to the iron gate, outside which there were two sturdy security guards, standing in a standard military posture, expressionless and majestic. I was thinking, these two people were obviously from military backgrounds, and this physique and height, as well as this self-disciplined sentry look. It is estimated that Yan Chengli's remuneration for these two people far exceeds that of ordinary people.

Look at this pitch-black iron door, antique, with a flower pattern twisted into iron bars on it, like a work of art. I wonder if this door can be preserved for hundreds of thousands of years, then there is no shortage of ancient players in the mind.

There are monitoring probes inside and outside the gate, and there are also monitoring probes on the walls of the high wall, I took a cursory observation, and there are 12 probes around the high wall and the iron gate alone.

Tang Zhenguo followed me and couldn't help but sigh: "The place where this rich man lives is different, and I feel that this security measure is tighter than that bank vault." ”

I smiled and quipped, "It's funny what you say, I'll have to look at the gate of the mansion and villa later, and see if it looks like the vault door." ”

We walked around and checked the dead spots of the high wall, but we didn't find anywhere to climb. But that doesn't mean that the wall is safe, Qu Mo's killers have all kinds of crime equipment, and the claws used to climb the wall have also been used by them. So this high wall, obviously, can't be regarded as an obstacle for Qu Mo.

As for this surveillance, even the police station's surveillance Qu Mo can invade, what can it be considered here?

Although I now have the feeling of raising the morale of others and destroying my own prestige, I am now thinking about the facts, and I must always prepare for the worst.

Entering the gate, we went straight to the Mansion Villa, this villa is a red-walled tiled villa, the main building has two floors, and there are rooms on the left and right. The room on the left is square and wide, with floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides and sliding glass doors on the front. Above this room is a platform with flowers and parasols of unique design.

I guess the room on the left should be an activity room or something, and the platform should be an open-air activity area, such as barbecues and other activities.

The room on the right has a very unique design, like a birdcage, surrounded by glass windows, although not floor-to-ceiling windows, but it looks more unique. When I walked in, I found that it was a small greenhouse with a lot of potted plants stored in it, which seemed to be a big hobby of the villa owner.

Entering the main building of the villa, of course, the main door of this main building will certainly not be a vault gate, but a huge copper door, but this bronze door does not have Chinese decoration like the first knocker, but is designed to be closer to the Central European style.

The villa does not look very luxurious, but gives people a warm and comfortable feeling, it seems that this golden tycoon has a lot of experience in the living environment, seeking comfort rather than showing off.

Today the owner of the villa was not at home, because he went to the hospital for a routine check-up. Staying at home was Yan Chengli's housekeeper, a man in his forties.

The butler has a flat head, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and although he is wearing a suit, I can also tell from the outline of the suit that this middle-aged man is a fitness enthusiast, and there is no slag on his face. It's not that he doesn't have a beard, I can be sure that he shaves carefully every day, not with an electric razor to hang a few times at will, but with a sharp manual razor, with beard cream, meticulous and patient shaving, so that his face looks so clean.

Of course, men who are demanding on their faces like this will definitely use men's masks as well. While I think it's a sissy for men to use face masks, that's just my one-sided idea. Everyone has a love for beauty, so why distinguish between men and women? And a man with a clean face is obviously more popular than a man who is sloppy and has a messy face.

I think the profession of housekeeper can be regarded as a face of a big family, a handsome and generous, mature and stable male housekeeper will definitely add a lot of luster to such an aristocratic family.

"Hello everyone, I'm the housekeeper of the Yan Mansion, Kang Qiuwen. I've been waiting for you here for a long time, and with the protection of the police, my master can finally get a good night's sleep. The housekeeper said to us in Mandarin with a slight Hong Kong accent, and it seemed that the housekeeper had been brought from Hong Kong by Yan Chengli.

Lao Lu and Steward Kang stood together, discussing some things, while I wandered around the living room of this villa.

There is no monitoring equipment in the living room, of course, people have privacy, especially rich people, pay more attention to their privacy, of course, will not install monitoring equipment indoors.

What I heard Lao Lu and Butler Kang discussing was that they planned to install police covert cameras in the room to monitor possible crimes.

And this matter was rejected by Steward Kang, and his reason was, of course, Yan Chengli's privacy issue.

Steward Kang said: "Yan Lao's health has been deteriorating recently, and his movement is very inconvenient, he knows that his life is short, but he doesn't want to go to the hospital for surgery or radiotherapy, and his whole body is full of tubes. He said that he was over eighty years old, and he had reached the age of being buried in the earth, so why bother to toss his body that had long run out of oil? Take some medicine, go to the hospital for a check-up, and slowly wait for the final day to come. I wanted to return to my hometown and return to my roots and settle in the soil. Unexpectedly, he was threatened by gangsters, which caused Yan Lao to be in a bad mood, and his illness was even worse. Now in his last days, if he doesn't even have his privacy, I think Yan Lao will not be relieved until he dies. ”

I listened to Steward Kang's words and said to Lao Lu: "Steward Kang is reasonable, for monitoring equipment, it can be installed outside doors and windows and at key road crossings, and it is indeed inappropriate to install it indoors." ”

Steward Kang looked at me and said, "This Mr. police officer is right. ”

Lao Lu nodded, so he instructed the members of the technical department to start monitoring and arranging the doors and windows of the villa.

Lao Lu's protection plan is still relatively thoughtful, the first is to set up monitoring equipment in the villa area. The second is to place two police officers 24 hours a day to protect them.

As for the implementation of this second article, it is because of Yan Chengli's illness, and he will not survive for more than two months without treatment. Moreover, Yan Chengli's property division will be completed within these two months. Therefore, the police had to provide close protection for these two months to ensure that he smoothly divided the property among his four children.

And Lao Lu and I also agreed that the purpose of the repertoire this time was to covet Yan Chengli's legacy.

So Lao Lu asked Kang Qiuwen: "As far as we know, Yan Chengli has four children, and Yan Chengli is preparing to divide the family property to these four children, but these four children don't seem to have come to Wanzhou?" And Yan Chengli is so seriously ill, now to put it bluntly, he is waiting to die, won't his four children come to accompany him? ”

Lao Lu's question made Kang Qiuwen a little embarrassed, I saw him frowning, his lips moved a few times, and he said softly: "The second lady and the fourth prince are here, but ......" After speaking, he made a look of wanting to speak and stopped.

So I said: "Lao Lu, this involves Yan Chengli's family affairs, as the saying goes, it is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, and there are some things, don't be embarrassed by the housekeeper." ”

Lao Lu looked at me, and then at Kang Qiuwen, who looked embarrassed, so he said, "Then let's talk to me about the situation of these four children first." I remember that Yan's family was threatened by a phone call, and it was you who reported the case, and when you reported the case, you said that Yan Chengli and his children had received threatening phone calls. Tell me, how did you know that his children had also received threatening phone calls? ”

I could hear Lao Lu's tone, and he seemed to be a little suspicious of this Kang Qiuwen. Of course, Lao Lu's suspicion is not wrong, only by constantly doubting and eliminating doubts one by one can we get close to the truth.

Kang Qiuwen, as the big housekeeper of the rich family, of course he can hear what Lao Lu means. In such a situation, many people will be resistant and angry, and I have met countless such people in my years of detective career.

He was innocent, but the police are not immortals, and they can't tell at a glance whether you are innocent or a suspect. When questioned by the police, the innocent man showed extreme impatience and resistance. In this case, if I stand in the person's point of view, I can know that he is thinking, and I am not a criminal, why should I be questioned and doubted? His resistance often makes it difficult and confusing for the police to solve cases, and even consumes police resources on an unrelated person. The reason for this is that this kind of people's resistance and non-cooperation have aroused the suspicion of the police.

But fortunately, this Steward Kang seems to be an understanding person, he did not resist, nor did he hide it, and told the truth one by one.

Kang Qiuwen said: "After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I accompanied Yan Lao back to Wanzhou, and at that time, Yan Lao was accompanied by his second lady and fourth son. After arriving in Wanzhou safely, the fourth prince hurried back to the United States, saying that there was a business that he needed to go to in person. A week after returning to Wanzhou, Yan Lao's mobile phone received an inexplicable call, and after the call was connected, he repeatedly said, 'I'm going to kill you'. The voice that spoke was a man, and it was hoarse and terrifying. Mr. Yan's mobile phone has always been kept by me, so after answering the call at that time, I didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it was a prank by some people, so I hung up on it. I wanted to blacklist this call, but it was a call from an unshown number, and there was no way to blacklist the header. For the next three days, I would receive these calls two or three times a day, and that scared me. But I was worried about Elder Yan's health, so I never told Elder Yan about it. But during a breakfast, Yan Lao's second daughter came to a phone call, she looked at it, hung up angrily, and complained that this kind of frivolous harassing phone calls in the mainland is really hateful. I felt that something was wrong, so I asked the second miss after the meal, and the second miss said that this harassing phone call had been coming for several days, and she didn't say anything, just said that she wanted to kill me. When I learned about the situation, I felt that something was wrong and called the police. ”

After listening to Kang Qiuwen's statement, I asked, "The mobile phone number you use is from Hong Kong, right?" ”

Kang Qiuwen said: "Yes, the Yan family is a businessman and often goes abroad, so the mobile phone business has been opened a lot, and it can be used in the mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and many countries. ”

I nodded and continued to ask, "What about your second lady?" Did you accompany Elder Yan to the hospital? ”

Kang Qiuwen nodded and said, "Yes." Since Elder Yan fell ill, the second miss has been by Yan Lao's side, and Yan Lao refused surgery and chemotherapy, and only the second miss supported her, and the eldest son, the third son, and the fourth son were all opposed. They also quarreled because of this matter, and the media also disclosed this matter, but they blamed Yan Lao's four children for not fulfilling their filial piety and making Yan Lao seriously ill and not seeking medical treatment. embarrassed the four children of Yan Lao. The eldest prince and the third prince were angry and no longer cared about the old man, although the fourth prince was not so ruthless, but he didn't want to have too much contact, and only occasionally returned to China to take a look. Only the second lady is by Yan Lao's side. Yan Lao was seriously ill, and he was even more disheartened at that time, so he finally decided to go back to his hometown in Wanzhou and wait quietly for his return. ”
