Strait Morning Post (Reporter: Zhou Xia) At one o'clock in the morning today, the siren suddenly sounded at the Fucheng Museum. The seven-star lamp, a national super-grade ancient cultural relic, was stolen, and more than 10 people were killed and injured at the scene!
According to the reporter's investigation, a serious theft of national cultural relics occurred at the Fucheng Museum at one o'clock this morning.
The stolen item was the National Special Ancient Cultural Relics Seven Star Lantern, which was a bronze lantern from more than 1,000 years ago. The lampstand is cast in bronze and carved with a dragon pattern. And according to the Big Dipper, inlaid with seven fist-sized night pearls. In addition, a layer of lampshades carved with hollow patterns on the thin sheets of staggered silver cylinders is combined to form a natural lamp.
Several cleaning staff had gone missing before the theft, and museum security personnel found them in the mountains behind the museum at 8 p.m. that night. By the time the cleaners were found, they had been seriously injured and were being resuscitated in the hospital.
In the course of the theft, five more security guards and three antiquities rangers died heroically in a fight with the thieves.
This incident resulted in the loss of national super-grade antiquities, and more than 10 people were killed and injured. It has been regarded as a key case by the Fucheng Police Department, and the police have been involved in the investigation.
Originally, I just wanted to search for news about the Seven Star Lantern, but I unexpectedly saw such a news on the webpage.
Yu Chengyao was shocked and angry in his heart, the master had just sent himself to borrow this lamp back, but he unexpectedly encountered such a thing.
He looked at the screen of his phone, and today was exactly 11/15/06. In other words, the theft of the Seven Star Lantern happened in the early hours of this morning.
He couldn't help but fall into deep thought, the Fukujo Museum, although he had not been there. But if you think about the provincial capital museum, the security measures should be very good.
Who is so bold as to steal the museum's super-grade artifacts? He pondered, but according to the news material, he did not find any suspicious clues.
He turned on his phone again and searched for other news about the theft at the Fucheng Museum.
Sure enough, there was a lot of news about this case, and many media outlets gave some opinions and clues.
What made Yu Chengyao most interested was the scene picture attached to one of the news, which was a ghost drawing, which was somewhat similar to the ghost drawing that appeared in the case of Xiaohai's mysterious death.
"Could it be that they did it?" Yu Chengyao's heart jumped suddenly, and he suddenly thought of Xiaoyue.
When Satsuki left, her heartbroken appearance was already clearly presented in front of her, and after calming down. Yu Chengyao had more doubts, why did she leave?
From the look in her eyes at that time, Yu Chengyao could conclude that she also had her own in her heart. But the words he said before he left made him forget her. There's no turning back, what does that mean?
Yu Chengyao sorted out his thoughts, this case has happened for a day. And the central government also sent a red-headed document down, Fucheng has been blocked, and it has become much more difficult to go to Fucheng.
The night train is very slow, and it is still running on the main road at twelve o'clock at night. There was another hour to reach Rock City, and Yu Chengyao suddenly felt a little nervous in his heart.
I don't know if the train station still sells bullet train tickets to Fucheng, no matter what, I must go to Fucheng to have a look, and by the way, secretly investigate the whereabouts of the Seven Star Lantern.
But if you don't have a car to get to Fucheng, things will be a lot more troublesome.
Just when he was worried about his heart, suddenly Qin Ze made a phone call.
"Yao, have you slept?" After the phone was connected, Qin Ze asked anxiously.
"I'm in the car, I'm on my way to Iwajo!" Yu Chengyao also had a sad face, and he replied weakly.
"Oh? You're already on your way, and I'm looking for you! As soon as Qin Ze heard Yu Chengyao's words, he immediately became energetic and overjoyed.
"Well, I went to Iwaki this time to transfer from Iwaki to Fucheng. But I just saw what happened in Fucheng, it's blocked, I don't know how to get there! Yu Chengyao said listlessly, and snorted as he spoke, sleepy.
"It turns out that you are also going to Fucheng, this is better, I will go too! What time do you arrive? Let's go together! Qin Ze was even happier, and he said into the phone.
"Oh? Second uncle, do you have a way to go to Fucheng? Yu Chengyao was a little surprised, but the central government sent a red-headed document down and blocked the entire Fucheng.
Now the people of Fucheng are panicked, and those who enter cannot leave, and outsiders are not allowed to enter.
In this situation, why did Qin Ze go to Fucheng? Suddenly, Yu Chengyao thought of an important reason, he should have gone to assist in the investigation!
Thinking of this, Yu Chengyao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes, there is a way, I'll tell you again when you come over, what time will you arrive?" Qin Ze said happily.
The case of the Fucheng Museum is an unsolved case, and the things involved in it are also incredible. It just so happens that Yu Chengyao has some understanding of metaphysics, and if he is brought with him, he will definitely be able to play an important role in solving the case.
He was still worried that Yu Chengyao would reject him because of family matters, but he didn't expect him to go out.
"One o'clock, remember to pick me up, I'm going to get some sleep first, so be it!" Yu Chengyao yawned again and again, and he was very sleepy.
Arriving in Fucheng, Yu Chengyao was still asleep when he arrived at the station for the second time. Still waiting for an opportunity to wake him up, but this time he was no longer so strange.
Picking up his bag and walking out of the station, Qin Ze was already waiting on the side of the road not far away.
He came in a police car, and he could be seen at a glance.
Yu Chengyao quickly stepped forward and got into the car, and the car headed towards the Qin family's villa.
At night, Qin Ze asked Yu Chengyao to have a good rest, and the two discussed that they would set off at eight o'clock the next day to drive to Fucheng. There is also Xiao Wang, who is familiar with him, and he will not be bored on the road.
After breakfast the next day, the three of them embarked on the journey to Fucheng. Xiao Wang drove, and Qin Ze and Yu Chengyao sat in the back seat together.
"Yao, what are you doing in Fucheng this time?" Qin Ze asked as he sorted out the document bag in his hand.
Yu Chengyao leaned on his back, looked at the scenery that quickly retreated on both sides, and replied lazily: "Run errands for my master!" β
"Is Lolo's illness cured?" Qin Ze turned his head to look at Yu Chengyao.
"Almost, but with some trouble!" Yu Chengyao looked out of the car and replied vaguely.
Qin Ze was embarrassed for a while, obviously he could see that Yu Chengyao didn't care about this topic. So he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Ah Yao, this time you can follow the second uncle to get naked!" β
"What kind of light is it?" Yu Chengyao turned his head and looked at Qin Ze curiously, but there was no change in his eyes.
It can be seen that he should be in a very depressed mood at this time. The whole person looked depressed, and Qin Ze was a little worried.
He said with a smile: "This time the second uncle went to Fucheng to attend the meeting of the serious crime team!" β
"Well, I know if you don't say it!" Yu Chengyao turned his head and continued to look out the window.
Qin Ze said a little helplessly: "Ah Yao, aren't you interested in the matter of the Seven Star Lantern?" Or is there something else on your mind? β
"Actually, this time the master asked me to borrow the seven-star lantern, who knew that I hadn't arrived in Fucheng yet! Something like this happened, you think I'm really in the mood! Yu Chengyao looked out of the car window sullenly.
"Ah Yao, don't worry, now that Fucheng has been blocked, I believe that the gangsters are still in Fucheng, the police will launch a carpet search, and the gangsters will definitely be found out!"
"But you really dare to think about it. That's a special antiquity, how do you borrow it? β
Qin Ze shushed twice, and he looked at Yu Chengyao with a shocked face.
Yu Chengyao looked back at Qin Ze and smiled: "Second uncle, my master and Old Mayor Fang have a very good relationship!" β
"You said Old Mayor Fang, you also said that your master is very familiar with him! It's been three years since he died, and your master doesn't even know it? Qin Ze laughed, and Xiao Wang couldn't help but smile.
Yu Chengyao was embarrassed, he glared at Qin Ze and said, "The master has been in hiding for so long, of course he is not very clear about the things outside!" β
"Even if you really want to get the Seven Star Lantern, you have to solve this case with me, the more you know about the case, the more chances you have!" Qin Ze became serious, and he said seriously.
Yu Chengyao nodded, since Old Mayor Fang was already dead. Then he could only rely on Qin Ze's clue to find the Seven Star Lantern, thinking of this, he looked at Qin Ze and said, "Take out the information on hand and let me take a look?" β
Qin Ze nodded and handed the file bag to Yu Chengyao.
This document is from the Fucheng Police Department, and it basically says: some clues to the scene of the theft at the Fucheng Museum.
Yu Chengyao took out the document inside, found a photo of the ghost drawing talisman from the document, and looked at it carefully again.
"This set of photos is in the exhibition hall where the museum keeps the seven-star lanterns, and there are five of them."
Qin Ze saw that Yu Chengyao was interested in this group of photos, and did not forget to introduce it seriously on the side.
Yu Chengyao nodded and put the photo back in the file bag. Then I looked at other documents, in the file description.
Ten cleaners disappeared inexplicably yesterday morning, and the time of disappearance was the time when they were cleaning the exhibition hall of the Seven Star Lanterns.
At that time, in order not to cause panic, the museum blocked the news and wanted to make a decision after internal investigation.
But by noon, most of the staff had already gone to eat. Five security guards on duty suddenly encountered a bizarre incident, and they saw a faceless woman outside the museum door.
At that time, the five security guards thought that someone was playing a prank, and they came forward to ridicule it for its bad disguise skills. Who knew that after the five approached, the faceless woman killed all five security guards.
As you can see in the attached picture, these people have all had their hearts taken out without exception.
Looking at the photo, Yu Chengyao was extremely stunned. He quickly glanced at the photos taken by the cameras, and according to the photos, it was clear that the five security guards were present together at the time.
Until the last frame of the photo, I saw a faceless woman standing at the door of the exhibition hall.
