Text: Detective Storm_Chapter 40: The Amazing Thief (10)
That's when Charlie Ba called me.
"Hey! Where is the progress? The frogmen have already arrived. ”
"Oh. You get to work first. I'll be there then. ”
Charlie said, "I see. The moat here is not very deep, and it can be done in a few moments. ”
"Good! I know. Now I'll take Sun Tielong over. ”
I hung up the phone and immediately went back to the café.
Sun Tielong, Luo Chen, and Luo Ying saw me go back to the coffee house.
Sun Tielong said to me: "Forward, if you come back, it means that there is news from Charlie Ba's side." ”
"Yes. . . Go to Charlie Ba right away. ”
Sun Tielong said: "Got it." ”
I said to Luo Chen: "Luo Chen needs your help when he is ready. ”
Luo Chen said to me: "I can't talk about helping, it's no problem to give you some antique advice." But we follow you like this, and we don't know if it's convenient for you. ”
"Nothing inconvenient."
A group of four of us immediately walked to the Forbidden City.
Far away, I watched Charlie Ba stand by the moat and look down. Looking at Charlieba's appearance, I knew that Charlieba also had great doubts about this moat.
"Hey! Charlie Ba... ”
I shouted Charlie Bully from afar. And Charlie saw me calling him. Hurriedly waved at me.
Charlie Ba shouted at me, "Forward, you're here. ”
I strode up to Charlie and said to Charlieba, "When will the frogman come up?" ”
Charlie said, "It's already been up once." ”
"What's the situation?"
Charlie Ba pointed to some garbage under his feet and said, "These are fished up from the moat." ”
I unconsciously crouched down and looked closely. I don't understand what these things are.
I got up and looked at Luo Chen and said, "Luo Chen, at this time, I need you to help me verify what this garbage is. ”
Luo Chen looked at me, then at the garbage in front of him, and said slowly: "Forward, you mean to let me check what the fragments here are." ”
"That's right. Luo Chen: You are an antique appraiser. You're an expert, and you're sure to figure out what these things are. ”
Luo Chen nodded and said, "Okay, no problem." ”
As he spoke, Luo Chen took out a magnifying glass from his pocket, then put on his gloves and looked for them in the garbage heap. Shine on it. Luo Chen took a long time and said slowly: "That's right, these are all fragments, basically I can be sure that they are fragments of jade." ”
I looked at Luo Chen and said, "Luo Chen, can you know what dynasty this is?" ”
Luo Chen said: "This is a little difficult, now the tools are not complete, I need some time to determine the year." And it's not necessarily accurate. ”
"Luo Chen, you can be accurate to the year, and you can grasp the accuracy of that year."
Luo Chen said slowly: "At least sixty percent. . . ”
"That's good, more than half of it is not coarse."
I lit a cigarette and looked around. At this time, there were already some good people on the side of the moat, and they watched the excitement from the side. Fortunately, there are not many people.
Charlie Ba said to me, "Go ahead, it seems that we want to go together." ”
"yes."
Charlie said: "The moats here are alive. It's a good thing you and I found out in time. Otherwise, it's all washed away by the water. ”
"I suspect that these fragments are the Qing Dynasty Dayu's water control map Yushan. It weighed a total of five tons, so how could it be easily washed away by the water of the moat. ”
Charlie Ba said: "Unexpectedly, in just half a day, the case that the police can't solve has been solved." ”
"No. It's not that simple. It's not over yet. ”
Charlie said, "Oh. That's right, we have to get all those cultural relics back, so that the case can be solved. ”
I looked at Charlie Ba and said, "Hehe... That's not that simple. ”
At this time, my phone rang. I don't look at it, I know that it was Brother Wu Yu who called.
When I saw it, it was Brother Wu Yu calling.
"Hey. Brother Yu. ”
Wu Yu said: "Go forward." Kong Xue and I have already taken Zhou Botao to the Forbidden City. Where are you? ”
"Oh. Brother Yu, we're on this side of the moat. ”
Wu Yu said: "Let's rush over now." ”
"No need. Go straight to the Palace Museum in Beijing! We're going to get over too. ”
Wu Yu said: "Okay! ”
I hung up the phone and looked at Luo Chen. And Luo Chen was still looking at the garbage fragments carefully.
"How long will it take Luo Chen, can you determine the age of these jades."
Luo Chen said slowly: "These fragments are really too broken. But I must have been cut out of a piece of jade. ”
"You can see this. But can you determine the year? ”
Luo Chen said: "I can't be sure of the specific year, but at least it is more than two hundred years, and it will not exceed three hundred years at most." ”
"Oh. . . Luo Chen, are you sure? ”
Luo Chen said slowly: "I'm sure. ”
As I spoke, I turned my head to look at Charlie Ba and said, "Charlieba, you are here to let the frogman scoop up all this rubble." We headed to the Palace Museum in Beijing. ”
Charlie Ba said to me, "Hmm... Well.. There you go! I'll do it here. ”
"Good. See you soon! ”
I looked at Luo Chen, Luo Ying, and Sun Tielong and said, "Let's go." Go to the Palace Museum in Beijing. ”
The four of us immediately headed to the Palace Museum in Beijing.
When I came to the gate of the Forbidden City, I had already noticed that there were already several policemen in civilian clothes. When these plainclothes policemen saw me, they hurriedly walked towards me.
One of the men whispered to me, "Detective Li, Team Leader Kong is already there. ”
Before the man could finish speaking, I hurriedly said, "I know. Thank you... ”
Sun Tielong said to me: "I didn't expect Kong Xue to shoot so many people." ”
"I don't know. Really. ”
As soon as we walked into the Palace Museum in Beijing, I saw Wu Yu and Kong Xue anxiously waiting for us in the courtyard.
And next to Wu Yu stood an old man in his fifties, whom he had never seen before. The old man was gray-haired, and he had a big eye on the wrinkles of his face.
I knew at a glance that this old man was a scholar, and it should be Zhou Botao, the director of the Palace Museum in Beijing.
Kong Xue saw that I had arrived. And I was followed by a man and a woman.
Kong Xue hurriedly said to me, "Forward, you're here." ”
"Hmm... Charlie is salvaging on the other side of the moat. Leave Charlie Boss alone. ”
Kong Xue looked at Luo Chen and Luo Ying behind me. Kong Xue hurriedly asked, "Forward, the two behind you are. . . ”
I turned my head to look at Luo Chen and Luo Ying, then turned my head, looked at Kong Xue and said, "Sister Xue, these two are my good friends, and they came to help me solve the case." One of them, an antique appraiser, had already helped me identify something. ”
Kong Xue looked at Luo Ying and Luo Chen. Then he turned his head and introduced me to the old man. Kong Xue said to me slowly: "Forward, this is Zhou Botao, the director of the Palace Museum in Beijing." ”
I looked at the old man closely. Said slowly: "Hello Dean Zhou. ”
And Zhou Botao looked at me and said, "Hello. . . I'm not a dean anymore. I've resigned. And it was also approved. Don't call me Dean. I can't stand it. I can't stand it. ”
I smiled at Zhou Botao and said, "President Zhou, you have also served the Palace Museum in Beijing for more than ten years. Your contribution to the museum is certainly self-evident. ”
Zhou Botao replied coldly: "You have won the prize. . . It's over. ”
And there are two other people standing next to Zhou Botao, one is Zhang Fu and the other is Zhao Dongbo. These two people were standing behind Zhou Botao unconsciously.
I said to everyone, "This is not the place to talk. Let's go to the venue of the jade on the 18th first! ”
When I spoke like this, Zhao Dongbo, Zhang Fu, and Zhou Botao instantly became nervous, and their faces instantly became ugly.
Almost everyone present could see it. There is a problem with these three people.
Wu Yu hurriedly said to Zhao Dongbo, Zhang Fu, and Zhou Botao: "Three, I have something to ask you when you move forward." Let's get there first! ”
Zhao Dongbo, Zhang Fu, and Zhou Botao cowered and followed me to the room where the jade was stored.
As soon as I entered the room, I said straight to the point: "Where did the three of you hide the Warring States Jade Claw Phoenix Cloud Pattern Bi and the Qing Dynasty Jasper Light Element Plate?" ”
When I finished saying this. Zhao Dongbo, Zhang Fu, and Zhou Botao all looked at me in surprise. And it was not only the three of them who were surprised, but Wu Yu, Kong Xue, Luo Chen and Luo Ying were also very surprised. Only Sun Tielong is still the same as usual. Quietly standing on the side, listening to my questions and analysis.
At this time, Zhao Dongbo and Zhang Fu both looked at Zhou Botao unconsciously.
And the sweat on Zhou Botao's face at this time was already ticking on his forehead. Zhou Botao said slowly: "You... You.. What are you talking about? I... I don't understand.. ”
Of course, I know that Zhou Botao, Zhao Dongbo and Zhang Fu will not admit it. I slowly said to the three of them, "Don't pretend. I just came from the other side of the moat. I don't need to take you to the moat to see it. ”
When I mentioned the moat, all three of them slowly had different physical reactions.
I said to Luo Chen: "Luo Chen, do you know the Qing Dynasty Dayu water control map Yushan?" ”
When Luo Chen saw me ask him, Luo Chen hurriedly said, "Of course I know this." ”
I said to Luo Chen: "You tell me about this Qing Dynasty Dayu water control map Yushan when is it." ”
Luo Chen looked at me, and then said slowly: "The jade mountain of Dayu in the Qing Dynasty is the largest jade treasure house in China, with the largest materials, the longest transportation route, the longest time, the most expensive cost, the most exquisite carving, the largest shape, and the largest jade carving handicraft, and it is also one of the largest jade carvings in the world. It is carved during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty and is the largest jade carving in the Qing Palace. It is also the heaviest jade in ancient times. It is 224 cm high, 96 cm wide, 60 cm high and weighs 5,000 kg. It is the world's largest jade carving work and a national treasure of our country. Qing Dayu water control map Yushan Xinjiang Hetian green jade system. The jade is carved with mountains, waterfalls, and ancient trees and pines. On the cliffs, groups of laborers are opening mountains and controlling waters. The upper part of the back is engraved with the imperial poem of Emperor Qianlong's "Title Miller Tashan Jade Dayu Water Control Map", and the lower part is engraved with the seal book "The Treasure of the Eight Signs" six-character square seal. In the floating clouds on the top of the mountain, it is also carved into a golden god with a few ghosts in the appearance of Lei Gong, as if blasting in the opening of the mountain, so that this work that describes reality has a romantic color. The base of the jade mountain is a brown copper cast seat in the shape of a gold wire mountain. The big jade was sent to Yangzhou in the 46th year of Qianlong, and it took 6 years to carve the jade mountain in the 52nd year of Qianlong. In the 53rd year of Qianlong, Emperor Qianlong ordered Zhu Tai, a jade carver in the Ruyi Pavilion of the palace office, to engrave Qianlong's imperial poems and the seals of the two treasures on the jade mountain. ”
I looked at Luo Chen and said, "Luo Chen, you are really powerful." I didn't expect to have such a big study of antiques. ”
Luo Chen looked at me and said slowly, "Where. . . ”
I whispered to the three men, "You know what. You have now destroyed the Qing Dynasty Dayu's water control map Yushan. And it was lost in the moat outside the Forbidden City, you know? The crime of destroying cultural relics is enough to punish you severely. It also polluted the bad environment around the Forbidden City. Do you know what sins you have all committed? You must know that confession is lenient, and resistance is strict. ”
At this time, Zhou Botao, Zhao Dongbo, and Zhang Fu all listened to my words, and they all behaved separately.
Zhou Botao just had some sweat on his forehead. And Zhao Dongbo seemed to be a little scared, and I found that Zhao Dongbo's legs were separated. In particular, the direction of the right foot is pointing towards the door. This manifests itself in psychology on jealousy and panic. This is clearly a sign of wanting to escape. And Zhang Fu is the youngest one. His facial expression is the richest. Not only is there sweat on the forehead, but there are already signs of trembling in the legs. It can be vaguely seen that Zhang Fu seems to be afraid that his legs are trembling.
I knew in my heart that I should attack Zhang Fu at this time. After all, Zhou Botao and Zhao Dongbo are both old people over half a hundred years old. I haven't seen any strong winds and waves, how can I be scared by a tiger and say anything.
I walked around Zhang Fu twice, and I tried to slow down as much as I could while walking these two laps. I slowly said to Zhang Fu, "Do you know? Theft of national cultural relics is punishable by a minimum sentence of 20 to 30 years. Destruction of cultural relics is like homicide, and the maximum sentence is life imprisonment. The two of them have experienced the vicissitudes of the world, they have never suffered any hardships, and they have not committed any crimes, but it is a pity to accompany those old people at a young age. It's a pity... ”
As soon as I said this, Zhang Fu seemed to be already thinking about my words. Zhang Fugang was about to say something. At this time, Zhou Botao said: "What do you mean?" We don't understand. ”
I looked at Zhou Botao and said, "You don't understand. All right.. The old man has given you a chance. You don't cherish it either. ”
I turned my head to look at Wu Yu and said to Wu Yu: "Brother Yu, didn't I ask you to investigate Zhou Botao?" Tell me about it! ”
Wu Yu looked at me, then at Zhou Botao and said, "Dean Zhou, our police have already obtained solid evidence, two months ago, your son Zhou Yinhai failed in business and owed usury. There is such a thing! Dean Zhou. ”
Zhou Botao looked at Wu Yu slowly, and then looked at me slowly, and didn't say anything for a long time.
Wu Yu continued: "Hurry up and explain honestly!" Don't let us waste our time. What I said just now is right.,Confess leniently.,Resistance is strict.。。 ”
I still walked around Zhang Fu's side.
I said to Zhang Fu, "Zhang Fu." Dean Zhou was forced to save his son. And you are not the same as your master Zhao Dongbo. At most, he is an accomplice. It's better to think about it.,Live the rest of your life in prison without getting anything.,Do you say it's worth it or not.。。 ”
When I said this, the young Zhang Fu was nervous to a certain extent.
Zhang Fu looked at me and hurriedly shouted, "Detective Li, I admit it. I admit it. But we didn't steal those jade objects. We didn't steal it. It's all done by Dean Zhou. It's all Dean Zhou. Don't catch me. Don't catch me... ”
At this time, Zhang Fu was already very nervous, and Zhang Fu was about to run out.
Fortunately, Sun Tielong has been standing at the door. hurriedly kicked Zhang Fu's calf, and Zhang Fu was instantly thrown into the yard.
Kong Xue and Wu Yu hurriedly ran to Zhang Fu, Kong Xue took out the handcuffs from his pocket without saying a word, and leaned Zhang Fu up behind his back.
Kong Xue shouted at Zhang Fu: "You be honest." We'll look into what it has to do with you. Also run. Where can you run? ”
I smiled at Wu Yu and said, "Sister Xue is really powerful. ”
Wu Yu and Kong Xue smiled at me awkwardly.
I said to Zhang Fu: "Don't run in a hurry. Your master Zhao Dongbo and Dean Zhou Botao haven't spoken yet... ”
At this time, I looked at Zhou Botao and Zhao Dongbo fiercely. I said, "Aren't you going to tell the truth now?" Since you do not value the opportunity, then I will say ... ”
