Chapter 120: The Treasure That Was Transferred

"Doesn't Su Jinmao have two wolf dogs at home?"

"They're all poisoned."

"Who poisoned it? The two fierce dogs were specially trained not to eat strangers' food. And as soon as strangers approach, they bark wildly, how can they be poisoned!"

"But in fact, they were easily poisoned. The robbers went out the back door into the forest and stopped under a large locust tree. Because there was blood in the vicinity, Rimu may have been killed there. ”

"If you're going to kill her, why don't you just kill her in the bedroom? Why bother to get such a heavy person down a ladder and carry it to the forest?"

"I think they might have wanted to kidnap her somewhere, but because Limeng was shouting for help in the woods, the robbers were afraid of being heard, so they killed her. And the bloody strip of cloth left in the forest is likely to be used to tie up Limeng's hands and feet. Overall, from all indications, Limeng has been killed. ”

"But, most importantly, what about Limeng's corpse?"

"Haven't found it yet. But we followed the prisoner's footsteps and found an ancient tomb on a cliff on the bank of the river. The cliff is more than 100 meters high, and the river below is full of reefs and rough waves. If you throw the body from above, you won't find it in the short term, and after about two or three days, the body will be washed ashore by the waves. ”

"So, the prisoners killed Rimu to avenge the chieftain, right?"

"Most likely, maybe Bai Lang is dead, and his men are here to avenge him. This also fulfills the threatening letter left by the driver, and they may have taken Hakuro's body along with Rimu. However, this has not yet been confirmed. ”

Inspector Zhou thought for a moment and said, "However, to be honest, we still haven't found evidence that Bai Lang is dead. In the end, was that terrible Jiangyang thief killed by Li Meng's shot? It is not known for sure. Before that, Bai Lang's death had been rumored many times. But that guy is like a nine-life demon cat, he will come back from the dead every time. This time, we can't be sure if he's dead until we see his body with our own eyes, and Miss Rimu's life and death will remain a mystery until her body is found. ”

How can these mysteries be solved? If Buttrand is allowed to solve the case, then our Northern Security Bureau will be really embarrassed. ”

"When will Butron arrive?"

"It's probably Wednesday, maybe Tuesday will be early."

Jiang Zhixing closed his eyes, thought for a while, and said, "Today is Saturday, and I have to go back to school on Sunday." Well, I'll be here on Monday morning, and I'll ask Inspector Zhou to come too. I'll find the clues to solve the mystery before I do that. Now that I have some things to look into, please lend me a bike. ”

After speaking, Jiang Zhixing borrowed a bicycle from Su Jinmao's housekeeper, got on the bike and left. It turned out that he was looking for the four famous paintings. Because in the early morning of the day of the crime, someone saw a vehicle similar to a famous painting passing by on the road leading to the Dongjiang River. Therefore, Jiang Zhixing followed this clue to investigate.

He pedaled on his feet so fast that his legs ached, and at last he arrived at the ferry yard before twelve o'clock in the middle of the night. That night, he stayed in a cheap hotel. Early the next morning, he went to the ferry yard to inquire whether there had been any cars or horse-drawn carriages crossing the river on the morning of the crime.

It was disheartening that no such vehicles crossed the river that day. But Jiang Zhixing still didn't give up, he went back to the hotel and asked around. Finally, a waiter told him, "It seems that it was that morning, and a truck carrying goods did drive by." However, the car did not cross the river. ”

"If they didn't cross the river, what were they doing?"

"They loaded the cargo onto the dinghy at the ferry yard."

"Where did that car come from?"

"It's the old man Qi of Jiangxi Village."

"Thank you." Jiang Zhixing rode to Jiangxi Village to find Old Man Qi, and Old Man Qi said: "A boss came that morning, drove a car and parked it in the forest opposite, and asked me to go over immediately. When I got there, he loaded me into the truck with four large loads and told me to send them to the dinghy, which I did. ”

"Do you remember what that boss looked like?"

"Of course I remember, because we've dealt with it a lot of times. Let me think about it, maybe six times!"

"What? Six times? Uncle, when did this start?"

"Well, until that day, every day, it's just that the goods are different every time. There are large stones, and there are smaller ones. Although it was a pile of stones, the boss took it very seriously and didn't even let me touch it. Oh, little one, what's wrong with you, why is your face so ugly?"

"Oh, it's nothing, maybe it's because it's hot and I'm riding too fast!" After prevaricating this matter, the young Jiang Zhixing was very excited, and finally let me find the big secret, these criminals had transported other things besides smuggling famous paintings. What is it? It must also be an item of Su Jinmao's family.

The more Jiang Zhixing thought about it, the more excited he became. That night, he lay on the bed in the hotel, ignoring the mosquito bites, and thought about it all night.

On Monday morning, Jiang Zhixing returned to Su Jinmao's house and saw a letter addressed to him, which read-

Second warning: "Don't be nosy. Otherwise, be careful of bad luck!"

Hmph, these robbers are getting more and more out of their breath. Jiang Zhixing thought about it, crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it into the paper basket, and then, he went out of the house, crossed the stone statues and stone pillars that fell in the grass, and walked straight to the palace.

While he was busy, Inspector Zhou came, "You are so punctual!" What have you gained in the past two days?"

"There are too many, all of them are important clues."

"Oh, what's there?"

"I already know what the 'other items' that the self-proclaimed Harrington from Country Y mentioned in the letter."

"Is that the letter that Inspector Wu Changhao received?"

"Yes."

"Except for the famous paintings, the only thing left is the precious wall curtains. But it hasn't been swapped!"

"No, it's not a wall curtain, it's something like a big boulder. This is a work of art that is more precious and valuable than the four famous paintings, and it can be said to be a national treasure. ”

"What the hell is that?

"Please come over here."

Jiang Zhixing held a thick stick, walked to the hall with Inspector Zhou, and slammed the wooden stick towards a Buddha statue lined up. Listening to a few rattling sounds, the Buddha statue has been shattered.

Inspector Zhou jumped up in fright and shouted, "It's amazing!" It's really strange that the golden Buddha statue would be broken.

Jiang Zhixing didn't ask any questions, and knocked all the way down the Buddha statue. Suddenly, all the Buddha statues, including the Buddha and Guanyin Niangniang, were all smashed into a pile of pieces by sticks.

At this time, Su Jinmao, who came out of the house, was also taken aback when he saw this scene, and stood here in a daze, looking bitter.

"Look, these are plaster casts disguised as golden Buddha statues, and these fakes imitated with plaster have quietly replaced the real ones, and the criminals have coated the surface of the plaster statues with copper powder to hide their eyes. I can't believe that they can do such a big trick in just a few days!"

The young Jiang Zhixing said with some smugness while kicking the fragments of the plaster.

Alas, the national treasures that have been placed here for a long time have now been replaced. You can see how clever the criminals are! Tens of millions of gold dollars...... No, it's hundreds of millions of gold dollars, all stolen.

"It's ...... When did this happen, and who did it?" Su Jinmao was so angry that his face was bloodless, and he said angrily.
