Chapter 57: Four Fellows
The information provided by Yang Shiye and Jin Biao is consistent with the contents of the autopsy records and missing person notices.
It's just that some places are still vague, which is also in line with reality.
In a short period of time, it is impossible for the brain to store all the information one by one, and sometimes some information will be confused.
After sending Yang Shiye and Jin Biao away, Director Tang promised to send someone to wait for Yin Yechi in the second district.
Yang Shiye and Jin Biao's words inspired Zhao Zimeng and Director Tang, and they decided to change their investigation strategy.
Previously, Director Tang investigated each store one by one.
There are guys in every shop, at least two people.
This matter is inherently sensitive to people who are in the antique business.
Moreover, if the occasion environment is different, people's mood and thoughts will be different, and there will be more worries.
Zhao Zimeng appreciated Director Tang's idea very much, and sincerely thanked him for his strong cooperation in solving the case, but he felt that this kind of open netting and large-scale investigation would generally not be very effective, and the workload was huge.
Director Tang said: The workload is not small, but he has to do it.
Judging by the information available to the comrades, so far at least two people have appeared in the antique trading market.
One is No. 2, and the other is the mysterious figure who resold the Nine Sheep Bottle to Cai Yaohui - let's take the information provided by Cai Yaohui as true.
Therefore, in the Hukoumen antique market, there must be people who have seen these two people, and maybe other tomb robbers.
Originally, Zhao Zimeng planned to go into the Zangshanzhai antique shop to find four guys to understand the situation, but inspired by Yang Shiye, Jin Biao and Director Tang, he decided to break them one by one and talk to each guy individually.
Although Cai Yaohui is now detained and on trial, Zangshanzhai is still operating normally, and several guys in the shop are there.
The four guys are Chen Hong, Jiao Xiaobing, Ma Xuewen, and Gao Xiaoqiang.
Under the arrangement of Director Tang, Chen Hong and Ma Xuewen were invited into the director's office successively, and it was Lin Di who was responsible for questioning.
Jiao Xiaobing and Gao Xiaoqiang were successively invited to the duty room in District 2, and it was Zhao Zimeng who received them.
These guys were questioned by the police, and they knew that something had happened to the boss, so they answered the questions more carefully.
This morning, Director Tang took one of his subordinates to Zangshanzhai to find Chen Hong and others to understand the situation, and the four guys said in unison, saying that they didn't know No. 1 and No. 2.
At this time, the results of the separate inquiries were unexpected.
The four guys all said that they had seen No. 2, and the time was a month ago, which was the same as the time when Yang Shiye and Jin Biao of Huicui Xuan met No. 2.
Regarding the appearance and characteristics of No. 2, the descriptions of the four guys are the same as those of Yang Shiye and Jin Biao.
Director Tang was curious about why the four of them denied it when they asked earlier?
The four of them spoke unanimously - they didn't want to cause trouble for the boss.
At that time, they didn't know that something had happened to their boss.
If Cai Yaohui knew that it was his buddy who provided the information to the police, I am afraid it would be difficult to save his job.
Although the boss sent Qiliang to keep an eye on them, the boss never treated them badly in terms of salary.
In the antique market, the salaries of the four guys in Zangshanzhai are estimated to be the highest.
One of the guys, Jiao Xiaobing, also provided a detail: No. 2 was Zangshanzhai who came at about five o'clock in the afternoon, and not long after this person came, Cai Yaohui also walked into the store, and it was time for him to reconcile the accounts.
When Cai Yaohui reconciled the accounts, No. 2 had been wandering around the store, and after Cai Yaohui left, No. 2 also left.
After that, Zhao Zimeng went to Huicuixuan to find Yang Shiye and Jin Biao to verify.
The two of them thought about it for a while, and said that the time when No. 2 was wandering around the Gathering Pavilion was before five o'clock.
That is to say, after No. 2 left Huicuixuan, he went to Zangshan Zhai.
Hui Hui Xuan is next to Zangshan Zhai, and it is natural to walk out of Hui Hui Xuan and enter Zangshan Zhai.
Jiao Xiaobing also said a small detail he found: Cai Yaohui glanced at No. 2 several times when he was reconciling.
Zhao Zimeng's analysis: Cai Yaohui opened an antique shop to sell dog meat on the head of a sheep.
Finding targets and finding sellers may be his main theme.
For the mysterious figures of Number Two and the disguise, why are they not looking for a target, looking for a buyer?
The nature of the cultural relics and the antiques in the store is completely different, and it cannot be brought to the table. The trade in cultural relics can only be done privately, and of course the more secretive the better.
The buyer and the seller are like falling in love, and they have to look at each other, which is the basic premise of contact.
Both parties have to observe each other and smell each other's scents.
The four guys paid unintentional attention to No. 2, while Cai Yaohui paid attention to No. 2.
With Cai Yaohui's keen sense of smell, he should be able to smell the scent of the tomb robbers.
Whether the mysterious figure of disguise is a tomb robber, Zhao Zimeng is not sure, but No. 2 must be a tomb robber.
Could it be that No. 2, like the mysterious figure who changed his face, also came to find Cai Yaohui? Could there be such a coincidence?
In order to avoid people's eyes, this kind of person generally does not talk about this kind of business in the store, and the mysterious figure of Yi Rong is waiting for Hou Cai Yaohui in the parking lot of District 1.
When No. 2 was in Zangshanzhai, there were a total of six people in the store, Cai Yaohui, Wei Qiliang and four guys.
Since the four guys recognized No. 2, there was no reason why Cai Yaohui couldn't recognize No. 2. Besides, guy Jiao Xiaobing said that Cai Yaohui glanced at No. 2 several times.
After the questioning was over, Director Tang sent someone to seal up Zangshanzhai.
Zhao Zimeng asked Director Tang to send someone to invite two guys from Xinglong Antique Shop, these two guys, one is called Duan Dingli, and the other is called Yu Xiaomiao.
Lin Di received Duan Dingli in the director's office.
Zhao Zimeng and Director Tang received Yu Xiaomiao in the parking lot of District 3.
Coincidentally, Duan Dingli also recognized No. 2.
A month ago, No. 2 had gone to the Xinglong antique store, but he just took a turn and left.
Duan Dingli's description of No. 2 is basically the same as that of Yang Shiye, Jin Biao, Chen Hong and others.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, an administrator led Yin Yechi into Director Tang's office.
Zhao Zimeng, Lin Di and Director Tang were waiting for Yin Yechi.
Boss Yin is a little short, about 1.60 meters, thin, and has a shrewd face.
He was well-dressed and looked like a literati. The upper body is a gray cardigan silk gown, with a pair of beige trousers underneath, and a pair of beige slip-on leather shoes on the feet.
Boss Yin came in to see that there were three people sitting in the room, without fear, he sat on the sofa very calmly, rubbing a string of small leaves of red sandalwood on his right wrist.
"Director Tang, I've already heard from two guys. If I'm not mistaken, this man is a dead man's eater. Boss Yin spoke first.
"Why is Boss Yin so sure?" Zhao Zimeng said.
"This man came into my shop, only stayed at the jade counter for a while, and he also asked the guy to show him a few jade objects, which I picked up at the stall. I knew at a glance that he was the master of goods. ”
"I thought he would buy it, but after reading it, he left without saying anything. I see that he doesn't want to buy something, but he wants to sell something. ”
"He's testing me, and I guess he's got something on his hands. I smelled graves and dead people from him, his hands were rough and his face was pale. If I hadn't lost my eyes, this person would be a gold-touching man who does the work of the underworld and eats the food of the sun. ”
"He doesn't move at the jade counter, and he wants to see the jade I picked up from the stall, just to tell me that he has something in his hand, but I am a well-behaved businessman and never do anything illegal. He saw that I was not responding and left. ”
"Comrade policeman, in my opinion, this person came to Hukoumen to look for a buyer, as long as you find this buyer." Yin Yechi's words were sprinkled with reason, and he not only did not shy away from the topics that the major shops were afraid to avoid, but also told the truth.
Zhao Zimeng was impressed by him.
At present, the buyer Cai Yaohui has been arrested.
Yin Yechi may have known that Cai Yaohui had purchased cultural relics from tomb robbers, or he might have known that No. 2 had gone to Cai Yaohui's Tibetan Mountain Zhai after leaving his Hui Xuan, but he couldn't say this explicitly, after all, it involved his peers in the neighboring store.
Therefore, Yin Yechi should mean that as long as you follow Cai Yaohui's vine, you will definitely be able to touch the melon.
Zhen Keran, who has been in contact with before, also has this meaning.
After leaving the antique market, Zhao Zimeng and Lin Di returned to the criminal investigation team and interrogated Cai Yaohui again.
His interrogation took place in the second room of interrogation.
Xiang Daimo and Section Chief Wen were interrogating Da Qibao and others in a room at this time.
Before Zhao Zimeng entered the second room, he took a photo with Xiang Daimo and Section Chief Wen in the first room.
Xiang Daimo said that they had interrogated Da Qibao and the driver, but there was no breakthrough in the interrogation.
Da Qibao's confession is the same as that of the driver: their boss is a collector of antiquities. In Jingxi, they only have Cai Yaohui's line, they have only been to Jingxi a few times, and they don't even know what cultural relics the boss has collected from Cai Yaohui's hands.
Therefore, Xiang Daimo no longer had much hope for Ning Shangzhi's interrogation.
But he vaguely felt that things were not so simple. He believes that these three people and Cai Yaohui are likely to bite the buckle and set the words in advance.
"If he is indeed a collector, then the artifacts he collected from Cai Yaohui should still be in his hands." Zhao Zimeng said.
"That's exactly what I'm worried about." Xiang Daimo said.
"Why?"
"The transaction between them will not be just a few transactions, these few things are likely to be a small part of their transaction, in order to prove their identity as a collector, it should not be difficult to keep a few cultural relics around."
Xiang Daimo's sense of touch is always deeper and wider than that of ordinary people.
Zhao Zimeng felt that Xiang Daimo's idea was not unreasonable.
Section Chief Wen also agreed with Xiang Daimo's idea.
He works in the antiquities department, and he understands that there are always many ways for antiquities dealers to protect themselves just in case.
When Zhao Zimeng was talking to Xiang Daimo and Section Chief Wen, Ning Shangzhi was brought into the interrogation room.
