"You two, look at what you need!" The bald head did not take his eyes off the jade in his hand, and greeted us casually.

Lao Lu walked up to him and said, "What did the middle-aged man who came in just now do in your store?" ”

The fat man squinted at Lao Lu, snorted coldly and said, "Hehe, friend, I have nothing to say!" ”

I saw Lao Lu's face twitch, so he took out his police card, raised his voice and said, "The police are handling the case, we suspect that the middle-aged man just now is related to a premeditated murder case, please cooperate with our investigation." ”

Don't look at this bald fat man, who is five big and three thick, looking arrogant and fierce, as soon as Lao Lu's words came out, he suddenly lost his temper, and the jade in his hand almost didn't hold it.

The fat man put down the jade, quickly stood up, swallowed his saliva and said, "Hey, Uncle Policeman, stop your anger." Come on, come on, smoke a cigarette. ”

Lao Lu and I took the cigarette he handed over, and the bald fat man was smiling all over his face, like a smiling Buddha, shaking his head and saying, "I'm just a businessman, and I've never been involved in this murder and arson." ”

"Then tell me, what did that man do when he came in just now?" Lao Lu asked again.

The bald fat man picked up the jade on the tea table and said, "He came in and sold this jade dragon to me, and I discussed this business with them a few days ago." ”

"Them?" I hurriedly asked questioningly, "Is there another middle-aged man who is about 1.8 meters tall and looks a little handsome?" ”

"Hey, yes, yes, yes, but this time the seller only came to him." The fat man said.

I exchanged glances with Lao Lu, and Lao Lu continued to ask, "How much did he sell you this jade dragon?" ”

The fat man cleared his throat and said in a suppressed voice: "Comrade policeman, this is a trade secret, but you come to investigate, I am 100% cooperative, this number." The fat man erected three of his plump fingers.

"Three hundred thousand?" Lao Lu asked in a low voice.

The fat man snorted.

"That's a big deal." I muttered, and then said, "Can you show me the jade dragon?" As I spoke, I playfully took a pair of gloves out of my jacket pocket and put them on my hands.

The fat man nodded, and carefully handed me the jade dragon. I took the jade dragon and found that it was crystal clear and lifelike, and the dragon's belly was also engraved with four words in italics, Fuze Nanpu.

I don't know much about antiques, so I probably looked at it, so I returned the jade dragon to the fat man, and asked casually: "This Nanpu is the place name of Wanzhou in ancient times, right?" ”

The fat man said: "Hey, comrade policeman, you have vision. This Nanpu is the name of the county of Wanzhou in the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, and the jade dragon is engraved with the blessing of Nanpu, which means that this is the antiquity of the Tang Dynasty. ”

I nodded and asked, "Did the seller tell me the origin of this jade dragon?" ”

The fat man said, "They said they dug it out with stones. ”

I nodded again, and then said to Lao Lu: "It seems that the truth has surfaced." ”

Although Lao Lu's face was serious, he could see that there was more relief in the seriousness, because he also understood that this case had finally come to an end.

When we left, the bald fat man was playing haha and smoking, and Lao Lu Ben walked outside the door, suddenly thought about it, turned around and said to the fat man: "You should be regarded as an illegal acquisition of cultural relics!" ”

This sentence frightened the bald fat man's lips, but Lao Lu said this and did not delve into it.

I contacted Tang Zhenguo and learned that Xu Tianwu was having lunch at Xiaotaoyuan Xiaolongbao Shop.

So Lao Lu and I rushed to Xiaotaoyuan, and when Xu Tianwu was enjoying Xiaolong soup dumplings with great interest, we invited him to the criminal investigation team for tea.

In the interrogation room, Xu Tianwu was still quibbling, so I walked up to Xu Tianwu, threw the pair of cotton and linen gloves in front of him, and said, "This is your gloves are good, right?" ”

Xu Tianwu looked at it, didn't quibble, and nodded.

I continued: "On the day of the incident, you arrived in Wu Qi's country, and the two of them drank happily, originally to celebrate the completion of the sale of the jade dragon, and this jade dragon was accidentally discovered by the two of you when you were fighting Qinglong Rock. However, Wu Qiguo never expected that this meal would be his last supper. It was you who deliberately killed him. ”

Xu Tianwu half-squinted, looked at the cotton and linen gloves on the table and said, "Nonsense, I am also a victim." ”

I patted Xu Tianwu on the shoulder and said, "Okay, just listen to my nonsense." If you want to disguise the murder as an accident, you must first make Wu Qiguo unconscious, so you use the spirits of the old distillery. Although there are no other comatose drugs added to the wine, the spirits close to 80 degrees are themselves an anesthetic. You drank together, Wu Qiguo was happy, he drank all the wine, but you didn't drink it all, to be precise, you drank it, but you went to the bathroom and picked your throat and spit out the wine. This is evident from Wu Qiguo's autopsy report and the analysis of the vomit in the bathroom, because the vomit did not belong to the deceased, and the deceased did not vomit before his death. After the deceased was completely drunk, you waited patiently until the early hours of the morning, using a short gas hose prepared in advance to connect to the water pipe in the deceased's home, which was used to connect to the natural gas outlet of the water heater, and the length of the water pipe was long enough to reach the living room. You then closed all the doors and windows in the living room, filling the living room with natural gas, causing Wu Qiguo to suffocate to death. I'm sure when you did this, you understood that natural gas is prone to explosion when it reaches a certain concentration, so you should have turned off the power supply, which is just my speculation. Later, after you confirm that the victim is completely dead, you fake the kitchen as an accident scene, but your method is clumsy, just splashing the burning gas with water from a water ladle, and you don't know that the boiling water in the kettle doesn't use that much water to extinguish the gas stove. This led me to establish that this was man-made and not accidental. Another point is that the kitchen window is broken and can't be closed at all, and you also noticed this, although you try to close the window to make the accident scene more realistic, but you can't do anything about it. So at this point, you have a fluke mentality. ”

Xu Tianwu listened to my words, he still looked calm, and he said: "Your story is very good, but I am innocent, and there will be no evidence to prove that I killed Wu Qiguo." ”

I said, "You're wrong, there's proof." And you've already admitted it. ”

Xu Tianwu said with some surprise: "What? ”

"That's this pair of cotton and linen gloves, when you connect the gas hose and the water pipe, you use adhesive tape, and when you tear off the adhesive tape, the cotton and linen glove fibers you wear on your hands inadvertently stick to the adhesive left by the adhesive tape on the water pipe. Nowadays, science and technology are so advanced that you can prove your criminal behavior by testing whether the fibers adhered to the water pipe are consistent with the fibers of your gloves. And your motive is very obvious, which is to kill for money. In the last sentence, I raised my voice and yelled, and Xu Tianwu was shaken by my roar.

After the entire interrogation room was silent for a few seconds, Xu Tianwu suddenly laughed, he laughed helplessly at first, and then laughed heartily. We all looked at him intently.

"Hmph, I killed the man. Before, I was very guilty, because I knew that it was not tolerated to seek money and kill people. But after that, I didn't feel the slightest guilt, and I was very happy, and I still think that the killing was right and worth it. This kind of adulterer is innocent of death, but it's a pity that he can't die at my hands. After Xu Tianwu finished speaking, he hit the table with his head, and Tang Zhenguo, who was closer, hurriedly pressed him to avoid the tragedy from happening again.

The case of killing Qinglongyan came to an end, and then Xu Tianwu explained the whereabouts of the small section of gas hose, and he threw it out of the window of the living room at the scene of the crime, and it fell downstairs in the flower bed. And the reason why he made money and killed him was because he found the jade dragon, and Wu Qiguo had to come to get a piece of the pie, otherwise he would report it, which made him hold a grudge. In addition, Xu Tianwu still owed gambling debts outside and needed the money to repay the debts, so he murdered Wu Qiguo with a heart.

Lao Lu really went to the power supply station after that, and proved that Room 302, where the crime occurred, was indeed out of power for more than two hours in the early morning of that day.

One thing that still puzzles me is that Xu Tianwu fell from the scaffolding. At first, I thought it was a bitter trick he deliberately created in order to confuse the public, but he said that he didn't deliberately create this bitter trick, it was an accident.

I was standing at the foot of Qinglong Rock, and people and cars were coming and going. Looking at the red flags fluttering in the wind on its vicissitudes of life, I remembered the sentence 'The white tiger is high, and the green dragon looks up', maybe this sacred stone really has its reason for existence, but I hope it can really 'bless Nanpu'!
