Chapter Forty-Eight: Nine Sheep Bottles

After Xiang Daimo handcuffed Humpty Dumpty's hands from his back, he walked like a fly and ran towards the van.

At this time, Lu Qian had already dragged Wei Qiliang out of the reeds, he was holding a pair of handcuffs in his hands, and the other end of the handcuffs was already handcuffed to Wei Qiliang's right wrist.

The cardboard box is still lying in the reeds.

At this moment, Lu Qian can't control so much for the time being-he has to control people first.

Zhao Zimeng took Cai Yaohui to the side of Qiliang, and Lu Qian handcuffed one end of the handcuff to Cai Yaohui's left wrist.

Humpty Dumpty, who was prostrate on the ground, tried to get up from the ground, and his right hand kept trying to reach for his right pants pocket.

Zhao Zimeng walked up to Humpty Dumpty and took out a pistol from Humpty Dumpty's right pants pocket.

Zhao Zimeng threw the gun to Lu Qian.

Lu Qianshang is still in the internship period, and he has not officially joined the Condor Brigade, so he is not qualified to be equipped with a gun for the time being.

What a hanging! If the short and fat man with a guy on his body was handed over to Lu Qian alone, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Lu Qian checked the gun, and the bullet was loaded.

Zhao Zimeng restrained Cai Yaohui and aimed his gun at Humpty Dumpty.

Humpty Dumpty was tired from tossing just now, and was lying motionless on the ground panting for breath at the moment.

Cai Yaohui and Wei Qiliang also gave up resistance, and they lay on the ground, looking depressed.

At this time, any struggle is in vain.

Ma Jianping and Ling Hu Yunfei's movements were extremely fast.

Ling Huyun flashed to the left side of the car door and said loudly: "Pay attention to concealment, he has a gun in his hand." ”

Ma Jianping flashed to the co-pilot's side.

The tall, thin man with a gun in his left hand was pushing the passenger door to get out of the car and escape.

Ma Jianping kicked back the door of the car that had not been fully opened, and at the same time pointed a gun into the window, which was open at this time.

"Don't move, put down the gun!" Ma Jianping warned loudly.

The tall and thin man completely ignored Ma Jianping's warning, and while Ma Jianping was not paying attention, he slammed the car door again and jumped out of the car.

Ma Jianping was knocked out by the force of the instantaneous extrapolation of the car door, stumbled a few times, and fell to the ground.

The tall and thin man raised his gun and was about to shoot at Ma Jianping.

At this critical moment, Xiang Daimo suddenly came, and he flew up and kicked the gun he was holding in his hand and flew out.

The tall and thin man saw that the situation was not good, and the girl wanted to run, but beside him was the endless reeds.

Xiang Daimo jumped up and threw him down from behind, and the tall and thin man didn't have time to react.

Xiang Daimo took advantage of the situation to pull his right hand back, handcuffed it, and then pulled up his left hand and handcuffed the two hands together.

"Yikes! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, ......it hurts," the tall thin man let out a painful wail.

"Be honest!" Xiang Daimo said sharply.

At the same time, Ling Hu Yunfei opened the door of the cab, and the driver who was knocked unconscious by Zhao Zimeng had just woken up.

He was still in a daze, apparently unaware of what was happening.

He found his hands handcuffed to the steering wheel, and he was desperate to break free.

A gun against his head.

"Don't move!" Ling Hu Yunfei said loudly.

"I don't move! I don't move! Other...... Don't kill me, I'm just a driver. The man panicked, and his tone changed.

"Put the other hand behind your head."

The man was very obedient and hastened to do so.

Linghu Yunfei touched his body, this person had no weapons on him.

He opened the handcuffs on the steering wheel, pointed a gun at him, and ordered him to get out of the car with his head in his hands.

On the other side of the car, Xiang Daimo and Ma Jianping had already controlled the tall and thin man.

Several people took the tall and thin man and the driver to the open area, and controlled them with Cai Yaohui, Wei Qiliang and Humpty Dumpty.

Lu Qian took the cardboard box back from the reeds and put it on the ground.

Zhao Zimeng and Ling Hu Yunfei stepped forward, and there was a suitcase next to the cardboard box.

Zhao Zimeng opened the suitcase first, and ordered Hu Yunfei to turn on the flashlight.

There were piles of money in the suitcase, and Ling Hu Yunfei took a look at it. A total of 900,000, a total of 900,000.

Zhao Zimeng opened the carton.

It was a black, strangely shaped object.

Ling Hu Yunfei aimed the light pillar of the flashlight at the black thing.

The black thing turned out to be a three-legged sheep's head bronze vessel, and there were nine sheep's heads evenly distributed above the body, which was beautiful in shape and simple and chic.

Is it possible that this object is one of the cultural relics stolen from the Late Ming Dynasty tomb in Ion Mountain?

Zhao Zimeng and his entourage brought a cadre of people, including this bronze artifact, back to the criminal investigation team.

It was almost one midnight when I returned to the criminal investigation team.

Zhao Zimeng was ready to interrogate these people early tomorrow morning.

After putting Cai Yaohui and his colleagues into the detention room, Zhao Zimeng and his teammates walked into the office and drank a little water.

Zhao Zimeng arranged tomorrow's work, and then went home to rest.

It is definitely not possible to rotate continuously, and the task now is to go home and sleep.

There are still two tough battles to be fought tomorrow: first, we must send people to Xicheng District to continue to investigate the traces of No. 1. Second, Cai Yaohui and others were interrogated.

It is still unclear whether there is a relationship between tonight's cultural relics trade and the "10.5" tomb robbery murder case, so the search for the No. 1 trace cannot be stopped.

Zhao Zimeng wanted to know if the bronze tripod that Cai Yaohui traded tonight was one of the many bronzes in the Late Ming Dynasty Tomb of Ion Mountain.

At present, the ancient tomb of the late Ming Dynasty in Ion Mountain has been protected by the municipal cultural relics department.

The entrance to the tomb - or the entrance to the robbery cave has been sealed, and if you want to enter the tomb again, you need the help of the antiquities department.

Isn't there still the patina left by the bronze on the dozen or so stone carved platforms in the tomb, as long as the three legs of the seized cultural relics are compared with the rust on the stone carved high platform.

During the on-site investigation, Zhao Zimeng had an extra mind, and he asked Lin Di to take pictures of more than a dozen stone carved platforms, including the rust on the high platforms.

In Zhao Zimeng's impression, among those rust marks, the traces left by the feet of the bronze are very obvious.

Metal and stone have been glued together for more than 300 years.

The adhesion is caused by the dual action of water and air, and the metal leaves a layer of solidification on the stone.

The solidification acts as a mold that retains the shape of the bronze legs.

Before leaving the office, Zhao Zimeng felt that he had to ask Professor Jin for advice, he knew that it was very late, and it was very inappropriate to disturb the professor now, so after hesitating for a moment, he still dialed Professor Jin's phone.

"Hey, is it Professor Jin? I'm Zhao Zimeng of the criminal investigation team, I'm very sorry to call you so late, I really have something important to ask you about! ”

"Captain Zhao, it's okay, I haven't slept yet."

"Is there progress in the case?" Professor Jin asked.

"The situation is this, tonight, we caught several criminals who were trading antiquities."

"Oh?"

"We seized an artifact." As soon as Professor Jin heard the word cultural relics, he was immediately refreshed.

"What is it like? You describe it. ”

"It's a bronze object. It has three legs and nine sheep heads on it. You are an expert in this area, I would like to ask you about this artifact, I wonder if this object is a lost artifact from the Ion Mountain Tomb? ”

"According to your description, I judged that it should be Jiuyang Bottle."

"As for whether it is a bronze stolen from the tomb of the late Ming Dynasty in Ion Mountain, we can compare this bronze with the rust on those stone carved platforms."

Professor Jin and Zhao Zimeng thought of one thing.

"That's what I called you."

"Team Zhao, I will call Lao Nie immediately and ask him to inform Director Gao of the Cultural Relics Bureau that we will meet at the scene of the crime tomorrow morning."

"Professor Jin, thank you so much."

"It should be that we thank you, whether this Jiuyang bottle is a bronze stolen from Ion Mountain or not, it has high archaeological value."

"Captain Zhao, when will you go to Huaigu Village tomorrow morning?" Professor Jin asked.

"Half past eight, do you think it's okay?"

"Good. Captain Zhao, I'll call Professor Nie right away, if he knows the news, I don't know how happy he is? ”

"Goodbye, Professor Jin."

Today's harvest of the Condor Brigade is not small, arresting several suspects who secretly traded cultural relics on the spot, and also confiscating a suspicious cultural relic.

At this time, the comrades are full of expectations and confidence for tomorrow, and this time they can go home and sleep steadily.

Tomorrow we have to pick up our spirits and continue to fight.

Zhao Zimeng has a habit that everything that can be done today will never be delayed until tomorrow.

Before going to bed at night, he can sleep peacefully after arranging tomorrow's work.

He is a master who takes one step at a time and sees three steps, and in the current situation, he has to take a long-term view, and it seems that tomorrow's scene is very likely to be the key to this case.

When going downstairs, Ma Jianping asked Zhao Zimeng: "Team Zhao, why did you set the time at half past eight tomorrow morning?" Ma Jianping was a little anxious.

Lu Qian was also a little puzzled, he walked behind Zhao Zimeng, he wanted to know the answer.

Ling Hu Yunfei guessed Zhao Zimeng's thoughts: "Team Zhao, tomorrow morning, do you want to interrogate Cai Yaohui and his brother-in-law earlier?" ”

"Yunfei, you're right."

"I'm thinking, if Cai Yaohui is not a tomb robber and murderer, then this bronze must have been bought by someone else."

"If it was from someone else, would it be a bronze object?"

"You say, what time will we arrive at the criminal investigation team tomorrow morning?" Linghu Yunfei asked.

"Six, what do you think?"

"Okay, it's six o'clock."

"Team Zhao, I also participate in the interrogation." Ma Jianping Road.

"Captain, I'm going to participate too." Lu Qiandao.

"Xiao Lu, you and Xiang Daimo will go to work normally tomorrow." Zhao Zimeng said.

"Captain, then Xiao Lu and I will go to the scene of Huaigu Village first tomorrow." Xiang Daimo said.

The five of them broke up at the gate of the Public Security Bureau, Zhao Zimeng and Ling Hu Yunfei turned left and turned west, and Xiang Daimo, Ma Jianping and Lu Qian turned right and turned east.

Zhao Zimeng and Ling Hu Yunfei broke up at the Guangde intersection in front of Baoyun Road, Zhao Zimeng went south, and Ling Hu Yunfei went north.

Under the dim and cold street lamp, two silhouettes were left that were fading away.
