"Arrived? Walk! ”

There was no extra nonsense, Liao Liangjun got out of the taxi and led Ai Yu straight to the scene of the crime.

This museum joint exhibition is divided into exhibition areas according to the age of cultural relics, and the exhibition hall of Shang Zhou where the cultural relics have been lost has been closed. As soon as Ai Yu walked in, he noticed the empty booth.

The glass cover disappeared along with the artifact, and only a small card with information about the artifact was still standing in place.

The strange thing is that there are only four words on this card, [Zeng Hou Zunpan], and there is no other information. On the other hand, in addition to the name of the cultural relic, those information cards also have a short paragraph of more detailed text, introducing the provenance and use of the cultural relics.

Without waiting for Ai Yu to ask anything, Liao Liangjun had already crossed paths with the staff of the museum. Ai Yu listened for a while, and became even more curious about the thief's motives.

There are countless valuable things in this group exhibition, and the value of Zeng Hou Zunpan is not the highest. Even if you steal a pocket watch that Qianlong played, it is more cost-effective than moving away a Warring States bronze. Not to mention that this Zeng Hou Zunpan is bulky and difficult to shoot.

"Large bronzes are difficult to value, especially Shang and Zhou bronzes. Unless you have the ability to smuggle overseas, it will be difficult to find buyers for this kind of thing at home. You also know that whoever buys is indefinite. ”

The curator who introduced the case did not hide it, pointed to the other bronzes in the field, and said with a foaming mouth: "The zun plate we lost is not like these bronze lamps and bronze horses, and there is no second set of those things in the world." What does the only mean? Doesn't that mean dying at the sight of the light? It doesn't matter who it is, even if you succeed in buying it, you can only hide it at home. You say, "What did the grandson steal it?" ”

Ai Yu flipped through the pictures of Zeng Hou Zun's plate in the exhibition album, and saw that the volume was indeed not small. This artifact is simply a large plate with a large cup on it, which appears to be a set of utensils.

"Curator, what was this Venerable Plate used for in ancient times?"

"Oh, you're asking me. Don't say it's me, even if all the cultural relics experts in the country get together, no one knows what this thing is for. ”

Ai Yu thought he was joking, but after listening to the follow-up explanation, he realized that the other party really didn't talk nonsense.

In ancient times, it was a wine vessel, which belonged to the utensils of daily life.

The plate is a ritual vessel, which is generally used in conjunction with the Qian, scooping water and receiving water on the plate, which is the vessel of the Shang and Zhou nobles to perform the "Gift of Wo Xu".

A combination of wine and ritual vessels?

This is simply not possible in the Shang Zhou, where the hierarchy of rituals and religions is strict!

But Zeng Hou Zunpan was indeed the funeral goods of a wealthy monarch of Shang and Zhou. If you want to say that this zun and pan were accidentally put together by descendants when Zeng Hou was buried, it is impossible to say.

The bronze statue in the exhibition album is carved with a delicate and transparent pattern of the pan and the hollow pattern at the edge, and four round leopard-shaped beasts are attached to the neck, and the abdomen and circle feet are also open-carved cockroach patterns and relief dragons.

The bronze plate is a flat-bottomed straight-walled tray, which echoes the shape of the zun, and the rim of the mouth is folded and drooped outward, with a hollow ornamentation attached. The body of the plate has four square ears, and four round carved double-body dragons hang on both sides of the ears, and the dragon's mouth bites the edge of the plate, and the body is like vines entwined and crisscrossed.

As long as you are not blind, anyone can see that these two things use the same casting process, and those ornaments are also in the same vein.

"Director Liao, you really have to help this time! A few minutes yesterday evening, all the surveillance screens in the exhibition hall suddenly went black. But when I checked it later, all of these machines were in good condition and not broken at all. It's so weird......"

Ai Yu listened to the curator pouring bitter water, but his eyes were not idle, and he finally found something suspicious in the corner of the exhibition hall.

It was the leaf of a cypress tree, not an ordinary cypress tree, and the tree was 800 years old.

A few years ago, a palace fighting drama exploded, and even a "Lingbai" in the play became popular. The screenwriter didn't break it up, there is indeed a small ancient cypress in the imperial garden of the Forbidden City, and it was named the shade marquis by Qianlong.

This cypress leaf, not surprisingly, comes from the shade of the tree.

This exhibition hall is borrowed from the Wenhua Palace, and the only green plants outside the hall are whitebark pine.

Even if it's a level 8 gale, it's impossible to blow the leaves from the Imperial Garden into the Wenhua Palace, right?

Unless someone brought it in, it had to be brought in before the lockdown of the exhibition hall.

[Xiao Cui, can you tell when this leaf was picked? 】

[Look at the vitality, no more than a day. 】

It's just before 8 a.m., which means that the leaves were picked after 8 a.m. yesterday. It's a pity that the smell on the leaves is too light, otherwise with this leaf alone, Ai Yu would be able to pull out the person who "destroyed the tree with a spicy hand".

After Liao Liangjun finished assigning the task, he saw Ai Yu carefully put a leaf into the evidence bag, and hurriedly asked, "What did you find?" ”

"Director, I want to check the surveillance footage of the Imperial Garden yesterday, so that I can see the angle of the shade tree."

"What do you mean? The Royal Garden is not close to here......"

Before he finished speaking, three or four more people walked into the exhibition hall. The leader was a bald man with a bulging front and back upturn, and the uniform shirt on his body was propped up by the belly without a trace of wrinkles, as if it would crack at any moment.

"Hehe, Director Liao is already here? This comrade is ......"

"Dongcheng First Punishment Brigade, Captain Ai Yu."

Ai Yu raised his hand and saluted expressionlessly, and didn't bother to say a word of greeting. Ji Liguo, the leader of the city bureau, this person she had heard of, but it was the first time she had seen it.

Compared with the thin and iron-clad appearance of his own director, no matter how he looks at it, this director of discipline has nothing to do with the breeze on his sleeves.

There are many rumors about him, and most of them are scandals.

It is said that Director Ji has five or six wives, and he has harvested a dozen daughters after working hard for half his life, but he has no sons.

Modern medicine has long explained this, and it is likely that the Y chromosome is not active enough. But this old man doesn't believe in evil, and when he is old, he is still keen to find flowers and willows, and vows to give birth to a son to send him to the end.

At the mention of this person, both men and women in the circle unanimously expressed disdain. The former thought he was ashamed, and the latter simply felt disgusting.

"Comrade Xiao Ai is very young, young people are energetic, very good. This case is different from the past, and if it is done, let Director Liao ask you for credit. ”

After Ji Liguo finished speaking, he habitually reached out and patted Ai Yu's shoulder, but was interrupted by another salute from the little girl.

"Yes."

Ai Yu took a step back after saluting and went to the museum to check the surveillance.

Looking at Ai Yu's back, Ji Li asked with regret in Chinese: "Is she Shen Lao's person?" ”

"Sort of......

Liao Liangjun responded ominously, although it was rumored that Ai Yu was a young man that Shen Lao was optimistic about, but Ai Yu himself never thought so.

However, it is not a bad thing to have this banner, at least Ji Liguo and his ilk will not think crookedly about Ai Yu at will. Replaced by other beautiful girls with no background, these bastards don't care much.

"I heard that Ai Yu's case-solving rate is very good, and you have found a treasure in Dongcheng."

Liao Liangjun didn't answer this, he only cared about the case at hand, "Discipline Inspection Bureau, are there any instructions in the city?" ”

"Solve the case within a week."

Solving a case means not only finding out the ins and outs, but also catching the culprits and recovering the stolen goods. Liao Liangjun stiffened his neck dissatisfied, glared and retorted: "What is enough for a week?" ”

"Look at you, it's still this bull's temper." Ji Liguo lowered his voice and continued: "This case is also being investigated by the secret service, you just have to do your duty." ”

Liao Liangjun rubbed his hands and said in disbelief: "Could it be that the crime was committed abroad?" ”

"It's not clear yet." Ji Liguo glanced at the empty booth, and a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes, "Those people will meddle in this case, either the thief who stole is not an ordinary person, or the thing he threw is not an ordinary thing, you just have a good idea." ”

"Yes."

After sending off the leading group of the Municipal Bureau, Liao Liangjun immediately asked the museum for a room and organized a meeting with his subordinates.

With his experience with the Secret Service, cooperation in handling cases is impossible. A sentence of secrecy blocked all excuses for asking for help, and if you want to solve the case, you have to rely on yourself.

In the security room on the other side, Ai Yu had already gone through all the surveillance data near Sha Hou, and sure enough, he saw a person stealing leaves.

It was around four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was the time when tourists were in a hurry to "get out of the palace". In the crowd, there was a small man wearing a black fisherman's hat and a black mask, taking advantage of the chaos to pick up a handful of leaves.

There are more than a dozen leaves in that handful, and Ai Yu is shocked when he sees it. Perhaps because of the old locust tree, she naturally has a respect for all the old trees.

Regardless of whether this cypress tree has a spirit or not, it is also a thousand-year-old tree, is it easy for people to live so old?

The Bucket Hat's movements are stealthy and last no more than two or three seconds. But Ai Yu still noticed that although this person stretched out his hand, he could not even touch the lowest branch with his height. The leaves seemed to fly into his palms on their own, and then stuffed into his pockets.

Divine Sense Exorcism, this person is a monk!

The moment he saw the leaves in the exhibition hall, Ai Yu realized that the thief was not an ordinary person.

Covering the surveillance camera with leaves, this kind of thing Ai Yu did once before he became a policeman. At that time, it was also to investigate a cultural relics case, and she used this method to quietly take away a bunch of explosives.

What is picking flowers and flying leaves, and taking the enemy's head thousands of miles away......

To the monks, these are just a matter of thought.

But why did the monk steal a bronze vessel?

With his new discoveries, Ai Yu hurried back to the conference room designated by Director Liao: Shufangzhai.

As soon as he looked up and saw the plaque under the eaves, Ai Yu's whole person was a little confused, and he felt that a grid would run out of the house in the next second. In fact, today's Shufangzhai has become a special reception room for the museum, which is specially used to receive national VIPs.

If it weren't for the fact that some of the hardware facilities in this room were unique, their improvised task force would not be qualified to hold a meeting in Shufangzhai.

"Director Ji is gone?" As soon as Ai Yu entered the door, he looked left and right, in addition to Director Liao, Xu Zhen and Pan Wenxiang also came.

didn't find the fat man, Ai Yu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Pan Wenxiang was reviewing the surveillance of the exhibition hall, and said without raising his head, "Are you afraid of him?" I didn't see it. ”

"Hehe, I'm not afraid of him, I'm afraid of trouble." Ai Yu explained in a sneer, and plugged the USB flash drive into Sister Pan's computer, "Sister, show you something good." ”

"No virus......"

A few minutes later, a room full of people was petrified.

They have long been accustomed to Ai Yu's efficiency in finding clues from the surveillance, but this time the clues are still too unbelievable. Everyone was stunned for a long time before they caught up with Ai Yu's train of thought.

Xu Zhen asked uncertainly, "You mean, this fisherman's hat picked the leaves with the aerial technique, and then controlled the leaves to block the surveillance, and stole the artifacts in those few minutes?" ”

"No wonder the special services in this case have also intervened, this fisherman's hat is probably really a foreign force." Liao Liangjun slapped the table and suddenly realized: "Looking at this size and height, there is a chance that it is a ...... from the island."

Ai Yu was still struggling with how to explain the existence of the monks to the big guys, but he didn't expect them to think of the group of special agents in the special service.

Having said that, the surreal method of "taking things from the air" can indeed be done by some people with strong mental strength. And on that leaf, she really didn't find any spiritual power fluctuations.

"Xiaoyu, what about the leaves? This kind of person thinks that he is clever and may not care about details such as fingerprints at all, otherwise he will not leave a leaf on the scene. Xu Zhen opened a box full of laboratory equipment and beckoned to Ai Yu: "On the leaves of that cypress, maybe you can find something." ”

Ai Yu hurriedly handed over the evidence bag, and after a while, they really got fingerprints. It is also the three fingerprints of the thumb, index finger, and middle finger of the right hand that are very complete.

Pan Wenxiang immediately entered the database for comparison, but there was no such person. In other words, the fisherman's hat is a clean white man with no criminal record in China.

"The first time I died, I did a big ticket, what a talent......"

Pan Wenxiang hatefully exited the system and continued to check the museum's peripheral surveillance, "That set of cultural relics is not small, and it is impossible to escape the surveillance on the street if you want to get out." ”

Ai Yu was silent, I hope this person is really not a monk. Otherwise, if you have a storage bag on your body, what can't you take away?

Even without storage bags, the monk has a way to avoid all kinds of outside surveillance. Only the kind of lens with no dead spots in the indoor exhibition hall requires some means.

The next division of labor was relatively simple, Pan Wenxiang continued to soak in the eyes of the sky, and Xu Zhen and Ai Yu went to check the museum's ticketing system. Unless the bucket hat came in from a ticket evasion, you will definitely be able to find out the person's purchase information from a small ticket, and then find his identity.

To put it bluntly, there is no one in this world who the Huaxia police can't catch, unless they don't want to arrest them.

Liao Liangjun was not idle, he took the video of stealing leaves and three fingerprints intercepted by Ai Yu, and directly found the special service team. This clue is definitely valuable to the other party, and may directly confirm the identity of the bucket hat.

If they still prevaricate with secrecy, then settle for the next best thing and trade the information for an answer.

What exactly is Zeng Hou Zunpan?

Why does a bronze artifact attract the covetousness of foreign forces?
