Chapter 168: The Jailer and the Ghost Pawn

I also felt very strange, looked at Leng Tong and said: "We also saw the corpse just now, one person was killed in the cold storage, and the other four people were all working, who can those people offend?" โ€

"Maybe the one surnamed Wang who rented the cold storage did something unseemly." Leng Tong thought about it and said: "The one surnamed Wang also has accomplices, originally wanted to kill people and put these people in cold storage, but he didn't expect his accomplices to even let him go, so he was also killed in cold storage." โ€

"It's very likely!" I shook my head slightly and said, "Even if that's the case, it doesn't make sense, and the cold storage is not a place to destroy corpses?" โ€

"That's what I can't figure out!" Leng Tong's big eyes widened, dark, and seemed to be flashing, he looked at me and said, "What do you say is going on?" โ€

I know that Leng Tong is also habitual to ask, but the big eyes are so big, and the small mouth is slightly pursed, that little appearance is really good-looking, no wonder so many people praise her when they see her, and I can't help but wipe it off Leng Tong's forehead.

My actions startled Leng Tong, and I quickly closed my eyes and retracted my head, but the reaction of this big beauty startled me and quickly retracted my hand.

Leng Tong soon realized that I was joking, and his pretty face was also flushed, and he wrinkled his little nose and whispered, "Are you looking for death?" I can wipe you, you can't wipe me, you know? โ€

"Got it!" I laughed out loud in my heart, and this beautiful woman was also afraid of this hand, and was also frightened.

Da Leizi also parked the car in front of Donghui Mall at this time, and the three of us got out of the car together, came in to take a look, Jinxin Jewelry Store was not open, and the door was locked.

The two jewelry stores next to it were open, I found the phone and called Su Ping, who quickly answered the phone and told us to come down and open the door immediately, and he chatted with the mall boss upstairs.

We didn't wait for a while, Su Ping came down and hurriedly asked, "Why are you here?" Got news? โ€

"Not yet." I shook my head and said, "We want to see what's going on inside your jewelry store." โ€

"Okay, as long as you can solve the case." Su Ping frowned and said: "I've been dying in a hurry for the past few days, not to mention that I have lost so many valuable jewelry, my waiters are still at your police station, and I didn't come back last night, and I can't always open here, isn't that a loss?" โ€

Leng Tong said on the side: "You can talk to Director Wuping, if all the investigations have been carried out here, you can continue to open, wait for us to solve the case, and the jewelry will naturally be returned to you." โ€

"Well, okay, I'll go to the martial arts bureau in the afternoon to discuss." Su Ping opened the door for us as he spoke, pointed to the roundabout display cabinet not far from the door, and said: "It's these showcases, I specially put all the valuable jewelry in these showcases at the door, but none of these precious jewels are gone!" โ€

We have seen it outside, behind this roundabout are some display shelves and other things, and there are some signs pasted on them, and in these few display cases facing the door, the boxes and shelves containing jewelry are there, and the glass of the display case is also good, and the display cabinet lock is also there, not messy at all, but the jewelry inside is gone.

There are also display cases on both sides, and the jewelry inside is all there, and it is also unmessy.

Jinxin jewelry store is on both sides of other jewelry stores, behind is the wall, there will be no problems, the ground is also very clean, the more the three of us look at the more strange it becomes.

I thought for a moment before asking, "Who found out in the morning?" โ€

"It's the two waiters of this showcase, everyone came in, and they also entered the roundabout as they did every day." Su Ping immediately said: "Soon there was an exclamation, I thought I had been here yesterday, I had touched the jewelry, and hurriedly found me, I was also dizzy when I saw it, I didn't come at all, and I quickly called the police." โ€

Leng Tong looked at me, and then said, "Mr. Su, are there any Peking Opera Troupes, Henan Opera Troupes or anything like anything in our county?" โ€

"Yes!" Su Ping was slightly stunned, and quickly said, "Does this have anything to do with my jewelry store?" โ€

"It's okay, I'm just asking." Leng Tong shook his head slightly: "Don't worry here, our people are asking, and there should be a result soon." โ€

"Oh!" Su Ping nodded: "Our county is a big county, in the past, it was a city, there were Peking Opera Troupe and Henan Opera Troupe, it's not that it hasn't worked in the past two years, it has been merged into a troupe, and the personnel have been cut a lot, so it's called the Peking Opera Troupe, and the police station is going north, not far away." โ€

Leng Tong and I glanced at each other, there is really this place, so let's go and take a look, I said to Su Ping: "Mr. Su, thank you, let's leave first." โ€

"Well, you're welcome, you can come at any time." Su Ping sighed and said, "Although I am a jewelry store, I can't afford to lose such a large amount of money!" You still have to solve the case as soon as possible, and I will also go to your bureau and talk to the military bureau, and strive to open as soon as possible. โ€

We can understand Su Ping's words, no matter how rich people were in those years, more than one million, they could scare people to death, and people who opened jewelry stores couldn't stand it.

After we came out and got into the car, Leng Tong said, "Xiaoxiao, there must be a problem with their internal waiter." โ€

"Well, I can see that too." I nodded and said, "The other showcases are also jewelry, and they are not missing, but these valuable ones are missing, which is too strange." โ€

"But there's no chaos here, there are four security guards and an older man outside." Leng Tong stared at me and said, "These five people don't seem to be a big problem. โ€

Da Leizi followed up and said, "Didn't you two say that someone stole the costume to pretend to be a ghost?" Wouldn't it be better to ask in a moment? If you find out who stole or borrowed it, maybe this person is doing it! โ€

The two of us are analyzing, and there is no answer, what Da Leizi said also makes sense, since we have decided to find another way, let's continue to investigate.

Da Leizi drove quickly to the county Peking Opera Troupe, which is a small three-story building, and the brand is the Peking Opera Troupe, but the movie has been played, and it should be changed to a movie theater, which is not surprising, that year and month are often so merged.

We were stopped when we came in and a young man asked us for tickets.

Da Leizi came up and showed his documents: "What kind of ticket do you want, you are investigating the case, is your head here?" โ€

"Oh, yes, yes!" The one who took the door was startled, and hurriedly pointed to the stairs on the left and said, "You go up from that side, the head of the regiment is on the third floor." โ€

Da Leizi also pushed the door, and then took the lead to go upstairs, the two of us looked at each other, both of them wanted to laugh, usually bullied so badly, he changed when he came out, he always wanted to bully people.

When we followed, Da Leizi had already knocked on the door of the regiment commander's room, and it was still the same, so he directly chiseled it open, went in and asked, "You are the regiment commander?" โ€

A middle-aged man's voice replied, "Yes! Who are you? โ€

"The police department, there is a big case!" Da Leizi doesn't care about those, everywhere he goes, the big case is in front, and after saying a word, he came out and waved his hand and said: "Come, the head of the regiment is here!" โ€

When the two of us came in, the head of the regiment was still stunned, a middle-aged man in his fifties, who looked very energetic, and hurriedly asked, "How many dare to ask, what is the big case?" Our unit, to be honest, is so poor that it urinates blood, what big case can it be involved in? โ€

"You're mistaken, there is indeed a case that may involve your clothing." I smiled and said, "Have you lost your costumes here, or have you lent them out?" โ€

"Huh?" The head of the regiment was stunned: "Costume? Could it be that there is something wrong with the costumes? โ€

Leng Tong and I were also stunned, glanced at each other, and I hurriedly asked, "There is something wrong with your costumes?" โ€

"Oh, no, no!" The head of the regiment immediately said: "Ma Hongwu, who is in charge of our costumes, has not come to work in the past two days, his wife has come to look for him, and friends have come to look for him, we don't know what the situation is, your question scared me." โ€

Leng Tong and I were also stunned, I didn't expect that the person who managed the costume hadn't gone to work yet, and his wife had also come to look for him, so maybe something happened!

I hurriedly asked, "Then is he alone in managing your costumes?" โ€

"It's not good in the past few years, no one watches Peking Opera, there are two people to manage it, Wang Hongwu is with the door, it's not like he hasn't come for two days, someone else will do it for him." The head of the regiment immediately said: "I'll find you another person, do you need it?" โ€

I nodded and said, "Yes, we need to investigate, is the costume missing, can you know?" โ€

"This should be known, there are all counts, don't watch Peking Opera, we can perform it." The head of the regiment stood up as he spoke, walked to the door and shouted, "Xiao Liu, come on." โ€

After a while, a woman in her early thirties came to the office: "Commander, are you looking for me?" โ€

"These are from the police department, you can take them to see our costumes." The regimental commander instructed: "See if there is anything missing." โ€

Xiao Liu immediately agreed and motioned for us to follow her.

The three of us said goodbye to the head of the regiment and followed Xiao Liu to the door of a warehouse on the second floor. โ€

"Look at the jailer's costume." Leng Tong took it: "There are also red python robes and gauze wing hats." โ€

I really can't name the hat, thanks to Leng Tong knowing.

Xiao Liu agreed, opened the door and pointed to a pile of boxes and said: "These boxes are costumes, we haven't performed again last year, and the boxes have been sealed, I'll find them for youยทยทยทยทยทยท This one is out of the box? โ€

As Xiao Liu spoke, he saw that the seal on a box was torn off and thrown on the lid of the box, and there were some handprints on the dust, and there was a note next to the box: Qing Dynasty jailers, soldiers, and brave clothes.

We also saw that most of the boxes were well pasted, and the seal on a large box on the top layer was also torn off, and the small note on this box read: Tang, Song, and Ming Dynasty yarn-winged hats.

Now Leng Tong and I glanced at each other, it seems that we have really found the right one, this missing Ma Hongwu is very likely to be related to the ghost case!

Xiao Liu opened the box and looked at it, and then said: "I'll count it first, and then go back to reconcile the accounts, the costumes are all counted, it looks like someone has been moved, that is Ma Hongwu, this kid, no one else has a key." โ€

Naturally, we nodded in agreement, Xiao Liu opened the box and counted it carefully, and soon went out to reconcile.

Leng Tong asked Da Leizi to take down the big box above, and looked at it, it was indeed full of that kind of gauze-winged hat, and the dynasties were different, and it seemed that there was also a vacant position.
