Chapter 51: The Mysterious Man
Zhao Zimeng immediately thought that the time of death of No. 1 and No. 2 was about fifteen days, and the time when Cai Yaohui collected the nine sheep bottles coincided with the time of the "10.5" tomb robbery murder case.
"What's the name of the person who sold you the Nine Sheep Bottle?"
"I don't know, he knows me, I don't know him."
"You don't know him? What does that mean? Zhao Zimeng couldn't understand his words.
"Comrade policeman, I have a shop, and the other party has come and gone without a trace, and I really don't know his name." Cai Yaohui looked helpless.
"How do you trade?"
"He took the initiative to find me?"
"Really?"
"Yes, in the circle, there will be people who ask me to help them identify cultural relics. I have a shop in the Hukoumen Antique Market, you should know that. ”
"You explain the transaction process in detail."
"On the evening of September 29th, around five o'clock, I was in the store to settle the accounts, and when I walked to the parking lot, suddenly a man came up to me, said that there was something good, and asked me if I would be interested in taking a look."
"I have a little impression of this person, who wandered around the shop for a while in the afternoon when I was in the store to reconcile the accounts."
"Why is this person looking for you? Does he know you do this? ”
"I'm not sure, maybe he knows. But on the surface he didn't seem to know. ”
"Cai Yaohui, according to what you say, haven't you done these things once or twice? Otherwise, why would these people only look for you! Zhao Zimeng said sharply.
"This ......" Cai Yaohui lowered his head and scratched the top of his head, speechless for a while.
"I hope you weigh it carefully, take the initiative to explain your affairs, and the more you talk, the better it will be for you. You are a highly educated intellectual, you don't need to say this truth, you should understand! Zhao Zimeng said very seriously, he felt that this Cai Yaohui was not a very stubborn stubborn person.
Cai Yaohui was silent for a while, then raised his head and said:
"I did collect some artifacts before. I admit it. ”
"Very well, go on." Zhao Zimeng took a sip of hot water and said.
"I'm a cautious person, and I never take risks when I'm not sure. In fact, there is no need to take risks, I am engaged in the identification of cultural relics, in front of the seller, I am a collector, in front of the buyer, I am still a collector who can't bear to cut my love. ”
"The seller wants to sell me for a good price, and the buyer wants to buy a bargain through me."
"Then you, the middleman, take both ends, don't suffer!"
"Comrade policeman, you may not understand, but the price of cultural relics in the market is very flexible."
"A thing can be sold for different prices at different times and in different people's hands. It depends on the individual's ability. Now, the market is just a little hot, and the price space in the future is even greater. That's the main reason why I took the risk. ”
"Very well, it's much easier for you to have this attitude. You should have an impression of the person you just said was looking for you to sell something, what he looked like! ”
"There was an impression, but it was useless." Cai Yaohui shook his head and said.
"Why is that?" Zhao Zimeng was not very satisfied with Cai Yaohui's brainless answer.
"Comrade policeman, I told you, you may not believe it. Who will show his true face to those who do "this" for a living? Cai Yaohui had a chattering expression.
"Don't show your true face? What do you mean? Zhao Zimeng became more and more incomprehensible to his words.
"He's disguised."
"Disguise?" Zhao Zimeng suspected that he had misheard the plot of the martial arts novel, and stared at Cai Yaohui with a frown, and his teammates on the side were also suspicious.
"yes, the other party is very cautious, he doesn't want me to recognize him. In fact, the people who do this thing have more or less two times, and disguise is just an open secret in the circle, otherwise it may capsize. ”
"This vessel, how did you trade it, you explain the process in detail."
"The man said he asked me to show him something, a bronze object. Originally, I didn't plan to go, I don't know the details of him! Later, he showed me the pictures, and sure enough, it was a good thing. I hesitated for a moment, but went anyway. ”
"Where are you looking at the object?"
"In an abandoned factory."
"Where?"
"Jingxi No. 3 Iron and Steel Plant, just three or four miles south of the Hukoumen Antique Trading Market, near Anshun Gate."
"How many people are there to show you?"
"He's alone."
"How much does he know about this instrument?"
"I guess he knows, but I can see that he pretended not to understand in front of me. He wanted to test me, and I couldn't help but tell the truth. ”
"You tell you the truth, how can you take his things?"
"Only if I tell the truth can he give me something."
"Why is that?"
"They probably only know what dynasty the thing is, but they don't know how much it costs. Otherwise, what else do you need a middleman like me to do? ”
"Didn't I say it just now, now the market is just starting to heat up, tens of thousands of yuan, for them, I'm afraid it's astronomical. These people are very knowledgeable about the underground and have little knowledge of the development trends of the market. ”
"These people have been doing it for a long time, and they probably feel that this kind of thing will become more and more valuable, but they don't know how much it can be worth, and sometimes, even I don't dare to think about it."
"And then?"
"Then, I said I wanted it, and asked him how much he wanted, and when he saw that I was telling the truth, he had the audacity to make an offer."
"What's the price?"
"One hundred thousand."
"One hundred thousand?"
"Yes, he offered 100,000 yuan, and I said that I only have 90,000 cash on hand at the moment. He said ninety thousand is ninety thousand. ”
"You're very clever at bargaining!"
"Well, I don't want him to feel like he's underpriced. Later, we made an appointment to trade in the early hours of the next day. ”
"Where did you trade it?"
"He set a place, and I agreed. Before the transaction, I changed places temporarily. ”
"Where?"
"It's the reeds of the Red Flag Battlefield."
"Why did you change places on the fly?"
"I don't know his details, I'm worried that he is ......" Cai Yaohui subconsciously scratched his head again.
"How old is this person and how tall is he?"
"Judging from his appearance, this person looks like he is fifty years old, with some white sideburns, a beard, a little hunched back, and a height of almost 1.73 meters. But I could tell that he was speaking with a lot of air and a brittle voice, which clearly did not match his age. ”
"What's this person's accent?"
"It sounds like a Tianfu accent, and I suspect his accent is also pretending."
"Last night, in the reeds near the Red Flag Battlefield, you should know the three people who traded with you!"
"I only know two, I don't know the driver."
"What's the name of these two people?"
"The boss's surname is Ning, his name is Ning Shangzhi, he is the fat man, the tall and thin one is Ma Zai, his surname is Da, what is his name, I don't know."
"Where are they from?"
"Haizhou people. Boss Ning said he was a collector. ”
"He smuggles antiquities?"
"I don't know, he said he was a collector and had a soft spot for bronzes."
"How many times have you traded?"
"Three or four times."
"Tell me, what are you trading?"
"A bronze Buddha of the Southern Dynasty, a bronze mirror of the Tang Dynasty, a jade cup of the Han Dynasty, a bronze sword of the Song Dynasty, and a pair of tiger-shaped bronze talismans of the Yuan Dynasty." Cai Yaohui came one by one.
No wonder he made his fortune so fast, and these treasures in his mouth should be priceless.
"What was the transaction price of this Jiuyang bottle yesterday?"
"You've seen it, nine hundred thousand."
Cai Yaohui's treasure that he received for 90,000 yuan became 900,000 yuan after changing hands, hey, it is really a "good deal" with a lot of profits.
"What other shipping channels do you have? Is there anyone else who trades with you? ”
"I only recognize this Ning Shangzhi. I don't sell things to people I don't know. ”
"I hope you're telling the truth, otherwise, you know the consequences."
"Comrade policeman, I guarantee that what I say is true."
"In the past few years, when I first started this business, I was quite satisfied. Later, I didn't know why, but as soon as I came into contact with these treasures, I was not calm. ”
"My father warned me, and Zhen Keran also persuaded me, but I didn't listen to them, I ......" Cai Yaohui said with excitement, and a few tears overflowed his eye sockets.
It seems that the information provided by Zhen Keran, the owner of the Xinglong antique shop, is credible.
"Go on."
"I can't live with my dad, Zhen Keran also parted ways with me, and then I opened an antique shop by myself, I know that opening an antique shop is just a cover, I want to ...... I want to get rich overnight. ”
"Last night, why did you give way to Qiliang and wait for you at the entrance of Shigu Lane?"
"I rented a house there, it's very remote, few people know about it, it's safe, it's there. I never leave things in antique shops and at home. ”
"What is the house number of the rented house?"
"No. 187 - enter the alley, the fourth courtyard gate on the right."
"You give us the key."
"I only have the key to the door, and I don't need a key to the courtyard door, as long as I call the door, someone will open the door."
"There lived a lonely old lady in her seventies in the courtyard. The house I rented was hers. The old lady rarely went out. Cai Yaohui said as he took out a bunch of keys from his pants pocket and removed a copper key from the keychain.
Linghu Yunfei stood up and took the key from Cai Yaohui's hand.
At the same time, Zhao Zimeng got up, called Ma Jianping and Lin Di to the door, and after explaining a few words, the two of them went downstairs.
Zhao Zimeng sent Ma Jianping and Lin Di to No. 187 Shigu Lane to have a look, and then rushed directly to Huaigu Village to meet everyone.
Zhao Zimeng returned to the interrogation room, and the interrogation continued, and it was not too early.
Cai Yaohui is really smart, renting a house in the hands of a lonely old lady, who has both a place to store stolen goods and a person to watch the door.
"Has Wei Qiliang been to No. 187?"
"Nope. I didn't want him to know that last night, I just had to park my car at the alleyway and wait for me. ”
