Chapter 136: The Second Insurance
Not to mention how well I know Wang Zhengqing, it's just that at this juncture, when he mentions the altar of the reservoir, it must be no good.
At that time, when the altar was broken, the harvest was nothing more than the spirit flag, the stone statue, and the runes on the altar.
The first two were destroyed, but the runes were preserved, and there were photographs taken at that time in the storeroom of the Forensics Section, as well as some close-ups of partial photos on my phone.
Another main reason is that we haven't identified those runes so far, except for the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, I compared those runes with ancient books, and I don't have a clue at all.
At this time, when Wang Zhengqing mentioned this, I subconsciously felt that he was thinking about those runes.
"If we engrave those runes as they are, we may be able to withstand the gluttonous momentum."
"Are you crazy?" I subconsciously blurted out that the idea was simply crazy.
"The runes on the altar of the reservoir are specially written for the sacrifice of the dead, do you want us to sacrifice five living human lives as well?"
Wang Zhengqing shook his head.
"No, I'm not crazy." He looked at me and continued: "The sacrifice of the dead soul is only one of the necessary conditions for the sacrifice, but the rune only requires the attribute of the five elements, and there is no requirement that it must be the soul of the dead. ”
I was stunned, Wang Zhengqing's words woke me up just right.
He's right, in a sacrifice, the role of the rune is only to set a precondition for it, just like the level reward in the game, the higher the completion, the higher the reward, but as long as the completion threshold is crossed, there is a reward.
For sacrifices, the role of runes is like this, so the runes burned on the altar of the reservoir can be completely moved and used.
No matter what the principle behind that set of runes is, as long as the conditions are given enough for it to protect the altar and cause the sacrifice to be uninterrupted, then it is not impossible to try.
But then again, there are still risks involved, because the above is just a matter of fact, not 100% correct.
So it's hard to say if something unpredictable will happen when this rune is engraved.
I looked at Wang Zhengqing, and he looked at me, and after a moment, I nodded.
"Okay, just use those runes, I'll go find the originals."
After that, I drove back to the General Bureau, ready to find the Physical Evidence Bureau to collect detailed physical evidence of the reservoir feng shui case.
When the case was closed, the photos of those runes were stored by the Physical Evidence Division, but this kind of thing is not something that Gu Man can solve by saying hello, she is just the commander-in-chief of the Falcon Operation Group, and the power is only within the group, so if I want to take those physical evidence, I still need Lao Ding's permission.
But when Lao Ding heard that I was going to collect the physical evidence of the reservoir feng shui case, he didn't agree to it, but frowned and asked me what I want that thing for.
I also slowed down, this is not like Lao Ding's usual style, he has always respected my opinion in the feng shui case, it stands to reason that I want to obtain the physical evidence of the feng shui case now, and Qin Laogou's relationship, he should not want to agree directly.
But in order not to arouse Lao Ding's suspicions, I still made an excuse and said that I needed to review the progress of the case at that time.
"What's going on?" Lao Ding is an old criminal investigator, and he immediately found a loophole in my words: "Isn't this case closed, or have you found new clues?" ”
I shook my head and said, "No, it's just that a recent case is a bit similar to the reservoir case, and I want to find similarities." ”
So far, I've said pretty much all of it, i.e., there's nothing like the reservoir case, and I haven't told him that all I really want is pictures of the runes.
Lao Ding thought for a while, probably he still wanted to ask me about the case, but he opened his mouth and closed it again, and from his flashing eyes, I felt that he was worried that I was suspicious.
But I'm already suspicious.
"Okay, let's go, I'll take you to get it."
After that, Lao Ding put down the water cup and stood up, I was stunned for a moment, and said Uncle Ding, you don't need to trouble yourself, right? Just give me a proof.
He shook his head, and then said: "That's not good, the case of the reservoir is very important, I don't worry about handing it over to others, so I'll take you there personally, you are born now, so as not to embarrass other colleagues." ”
Having said that, I don't want to say much, even if I am a little suspicious in my heart, I don't understand what is suspicious, but I just feel that nothing is right.
However, I have always respected Lao Ding, and he can't have any problems with the reservoir case, after all, we went through it together.
I didn't think much about it at the moment, so I went to the physical evidence department with him.
I was fine, but as soon as I entered the storage room of the Forensics Division, my cell phone rang.
"Who called?"
Without waiting for me to look, Lao Ding took the lead in asking questions, I was stunned for a moment, and looked down to see that it was Qin Laogou who hit me.
The old dog's note on my phone was Team Leader Qin, so after I raised it in front of Lao Ding, I went to the corner and picked it up.
To be honest, I don't know why the old dog called me at this time, and I thought that he was going to stay alone in a safe house, or a place where Wang Zhengqing and I didn't know, and drink for a few more days.
Before I could speak, the old dog said that he had told me an explosive news.
"The box is passive."
"What?"
At first I didn't react, but later I realized what he was talking about in the box.
"Are you sure?"
I kept my voice down, for fear of being heard, but there was hardly anyone around me except Lao Ding, this was the storage room of the Physical Evidence Section, and someone was also in the office outside.
The old dog's voice was still a little drunk, so I was worried that he hadn't woken up yet.
But he said with great certainty: "What can I lie to you about this?" ”
"No, I'm in the General Bureau." I lowered my voice again, this time simply because I didn't want Lao Ding to hear it.
The old dog on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Then I'll call you again, you steady." ”
After saying that, he hung up directly.
"Zhang Yao, what's wrong?"
As soon as I hung up the phone, Lao Ding's side immediately came up and asked me what happened with great concern.
"There was an accident in a case, and Team Leader Qin needs me to go back and deal with it."
"The information on the reservoir case ......"
"I want to take it." I hurriedly affirmed that no matter what was wrong with Lao Ding today, I had to get the runes in my hands first.
Next, he didn't talk nonsense to me, and directly led me into the room where the reservoir case files and physical evidence were sealed, and even handed me the cardboard box of documents and materials himself.
I hurriedly caught it, in order not to make Lao Ding suspicious, I didn't just take the runes, but took some information about the reservoir feng shui case, and then I hugged the thick pile of rune photos into my arms.
Rao is so, which still aroused Lao Ding's suspicions, and he smiled and asked me that no one can understand this thing, what do you want him to do.
I hurriedly said that a rune like this had also appeared in the new case, and I would take it back and compare it to see if there were any clues.
Hearing me say this, Lao Ding dispelled his doubts.
"That's all?"
I nodded: "That's pretty much it, Uncle Ding, I'm sorry for you." ”
I don't know why, during the time I was not in the General Bureau, I always felt that Lao Ding had changed a little, probably because of the increased pressure on him in the Qingfeng Warehousing case, so there were some changes.
I didn't think much of it, and the immediate need was to leave quickly.
But thinking of what the old dog said on the phone just now, I asked again: "Uncle Ding, where was the blood jade put?" Nothing is wrong, right? ”
Just when I mentioned Blood Jade, I noticed that Lao Ding's expression changed slightly, but maybe it was also my delusion.
"Blood jade? Oh, that thing. He reacted, not knowing whether he didn't remember for a while or pretending not to know, and then said: "That thing has been kept in the safe, no problem, I still have a meeting here, do you need anything?" ”
This tone is already ready to issue an eviction order, I don't know why Lao Ding said this, but in order not to startle the snake, he still smiled and didn't mention the matter of blood jade, and after a few polite words, he hurriedly left the General Bureau.
When I got in the car, I looked through the things I brought out again, and the dozens of photos of the runes were there, as long as this one was there.
But what the old dog just said on the phone can't be taken lightly.
I put on my headphones and quickly dialed him back.
The box that the old dog said on the phone just now was actually the blood jade box we handed over to the General Bureau, and he called me to tell me that the blood jade box was powered, which means that the box was opened and the blood jade in it was taken.
Before handing it over to the General Bureau, Lao Gou installed a lot of sensors in it, which could receive light, air pressure, direction, etc., and according to the information from these sensors, it could be concluded whether the box had been opened and whether the blood jade inside had been moved.
This is the firewall we set up in the first place, but this is only the first one, and there is another firewall that can ensure that it is foolproof.
The phone went through quickly, and the old dog saw me calling him again and asked if I had come out.
I nodded and said, "Come out, what happened to you just now, are you sure the box has been opened?" ”
"Absolutely." The old dog over there said: "Blood Jade is also passive, you can come back, I heard Zhengqing talk about your plan." ”
With that, the guy hung up.
That's it? I was stunned for a moment, and when the signal was restored, I received a WeChat message from Wang Zhengqing, in which he said that the people in the combat team probably heard us speak, so they reported the matter to the old dog, so the old dog called him for verification.
I was going to hide it from the old dog, but now it seems that I can't hide it.
I hurriedly drove back to the safe house, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw the old dog sitting on the sofa, and in front of him, there was an ordinary collection box, and at this time a dozen pieces of blood jade were lying there quietly.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw me return.
"Fortunately, a second line of insurance has been set up."
Like my years in the spirit case team, please collect: () I was the fastest update in the spirit case team in those years.
