At two o'clock in the afternoon, the weather was clear, and there was a breeze in the air, which felt very comfortable on people.

Beside the moat, the scenery is picturesque, and the leaves of the trees are flying down and dyed the golden yellow of autumn.

The mirror-like surface of the water reflects the reflection of the table of the beverage shop, which is Chen Yi and Tao Shangli, who have just met.

"Mr. Tao, hello, it's the first time I've seen such a young archaeologist, young and promising, young and promising."

Zhao Qiming said politely, and several people knew each other.

Tao Shangli has not changed much compared with half a year ago, but his hairstyle is shorter, which adds a touch of strangeness.

"Captain Zhao praised it falsely, and he didn't dare to take it."

Tao Shangli already knew the identity of the other party, and to be honest, he was still a little surprised.

The case jointly investigated by the Jiangcheng Criminal Investigation Detachment and the Yangcheng Criminal Investigation Detachment may not be a trivial matter.

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Chen Yi and said with a smile: "Officer Chen, let's talk about business directly, which aspect is it?" ”

Chen Yi had already thought of the direction of inquiry, and spoke at this moment: "Shang Li, you are an archaeologist, you should know something about tomb robbing, right?" ”

Tao Shangli nodded: "Of course, different paths lead to the same end, in fact, we have the same purpose as those illegal and criminal elements." ”

"And in some ways, they're even more professional than we are."

"So a lot of times, we also go to understand the methods of tomb robbers, and it's still useful to be honest."

Chen Yi nodded.

Should I say it or not, tomb robbing is indeed a technical job, and people who don't have some ability really can't do it.

"Do these people have any special technical requirements? For example, what do you need to know, and if you are a layman, is it possible to participate in it? ”

Tao Shangli said: "This point is relatively free, as long as anyone knows the location, they can go." ”

"But the so-called ancient tombs, dangers are indispensable, and these dangers do not only come from the mechanisms in the ancient tombs."

"If you don't understand anything, failure is a small thing, and you are likely to die in it."

"So theoretically, anyone can do it, but if you know a little bit of technology, you can increase the probability of success and safety."

Chen Yi: "I see, for example, if I know the location of an ancient tomb and want to see what good things are in it, but I am short of manpower, then what kind of people should I find?" ”

According to the previous inference, if the case was related to the tomb robbery, then there must have been an organizer among the several people, who gathered all the victims.

Therefore, in the selection of partners, there should be a certain pertinence, and it is impossible to pull a few people at random.

As Tao Shangli just said, the danger is too great, and the gains outweigh the losses, so it is best to spend a little more time and find someone who satisfies you.

The basis for the choice is more critical, and it may be able to match the victim.

Regarding this question, Tao Shangli thought for a while and said: "First of all, it is very important to find someone who understands identification and the route of the tomb. ”

"Unless it is a very ancient tomb, the probability of fakes in the contents is still relatively large, and it requires a person who knows how to identify the palm of the eye, selectively search, make full use of the portable space, and obtain the maximum benefit."

Hearing this, Chen Yi groaned slightly and stretched out his hand to Zhao Qiming.

Zhao Qiming understood, took out a stack of character information from his bag and handed it to Chen Yi.

Chen Yi took it and rummaged through it, and finally put Cao Maojun's name on the table.

Then, he looked at Tao Shangli and asked, "Our Jiangcheng, which dynasty has more tombs?" ”

Tao Shangli said: "Clear the tomb, there is no doubt about this. ”

At this time, Zhao Qiming was curious: "There are also fakes in the tomb?" At that time, could the technology support the counterfeiting of cultural relics? ”

Tao Shangli smiled and nodded: "Of course you can." ”

"There are documents that have recorded in detail a case of cultural relics counterfeiting at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the victim at that time was Zhang Zhidong, and the counterfeit was a clay pot, and the outer material was made of paper wrapped in wax, which can be used to confuse the real with fake."

"The industry of high imitation is extremely profitable, so it is not uncommon in any dynasty."

Zhao Qiming nodded suddenly: "Oh...... So it was, understood, taught. ”

Sure enough, there is a specialization in the art industry, and if you want to say that the other party is definitely not good at investigating the case, you must say that you don't know anything about archaeology.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Chen Yi stared at Cao Maojun's information for a while, and then spoke: "Shang Li, let's continue." ”

Tao Shangli: "Okay." ”

"After the people who know the appraisal are found, the rest is the people who do the work."

"Officer Chen, your role, the jargon is the support pot, that is, the organizer who has the intelligence."

"The person who understands the appraisal is the palm eye."

"After the palm and the pot, you are the engineer who knows how to do it."

"Of course, they don't call them engineers, that's what I mean, intuitively, it's like a project manager."

"It's also important to connect the previous and the next in this position, and it's best to be able to solve unknown and known dangers, which is called troubleshooting."

"In addition to troubleshooting, if there is peer competition in the middle, he is also responsible for solving it."

"The palm eye is responsible for the text, and the engineer is in charge of the martial arts."

Hearing this, Zhao Qiming and the others looked at Chen Yi together.

Chen Yi flipped through the information in his hand, and then took Liang Wu out and put it on the table.

Tao Shangli continued: "Then, there is coolie. ”

"Under the tomb and the tomb, there must be an excavator, in the past, in the tomb robbery business, the pot will generally find an honest farmer to be responsible for this matter, pay the salary in advance, and do not participate in the distribution of antiques."

"Of course, if the coolie has some skill, then it is not the coolie, but the digger."

"Excavators need to be familiar with the structure of hard soil and stone layers, find weak points and dig out the robbery holes in the shortest time, and get twice the result with half the effort."

Chen Yi listened carefully, and took out Sun Jianli's information casually, which was already three people.

And Tao Shangli also stopped his voice at this moment.

Chen Yi waited for a while, then raised his head and said, "Is it gone?" ”

Tao Shangli: "This is the simplest structure, four people are already fine, some places that are not complicated and have low danger, you can enter smoothly and leave safely." ”

Chen Yi asked: "If it's complicated, what kind of people do you need?" Think about it from a needs and professional point of view. ”

Tao Shangli thought for a while and said, "Doctor, it's best to be a doctor who is proficient in detoxification." ”

"It is inevitable that you will be injured when you go to the tomb, there is no shortage of poisonous weeds and poisonous insects in it, and the people who repair the tomb will also deliberately set poisonous traps."

"Bring a doctor who can detoxify and heal injuries, and the safety will be higher."

Chen Yi nodded slightly, took out Huang Baoxu's information and put it on the table, this is the fourth person.

Tao Shangli watched Chen Yi's movements, didn't ask more, and didn't take the initiative to look, he knew what he should do and what he shouldn't do.

"Anything else?" Chen Yidao.

Tao Shangli: "Then there's the Demoman. ”

"Some of the tombs are very difficult to enter, the stone and soil layers are complex, and the tomb doors are so strong that even the excavators are helpless."

"In this case, explosives need to come into play."

"Bringing a demoman can ensure that the action is foolproof, this is a very professional team, which shows that the pot is considered very comprehensively to ensure that it will not return in vain."

"Demoman?"

Chen Yi looked at the information in his hand and focused on Yao Jing's profession: a factory laboratory technician.

Then, he shifted his gaze to Yao Jing's secondary school major: chemistry.

The next moment, he put Yao Jing's information on the table, and it was already the fifth.

In the end, there is still ...... left History teacher Tian Youwei.

This Tian Youwei, will it be the role of "supporting the pot"? Is he the organizer? Or is there something else to do?

On the other side, Zhao Qiming looked at all the personal information placed on the table by Chen Yi, and his heart was shaken.

To be honest, before they left, they really didn't expect that every time Tao Shangli described the characteristics of a tomb robber, he could match one of the victims.

The case has advanced to this point, and the clues have been investigated here, and it can basically be determined that this case is related to tomb robbery.

If only Captain Kong had been fifteen years ago......

It doesn't make sense to say this now, there was no basis for it at that time, and who wouldn't have relied on this for no reason.

Chen Yi took out a cigarette and lit it, put Tian Youwei's information on the table, and then glanced at it.

Six of them, and there should be more.

Who is the role of the murderer?

"Shang Li." After pondering for a while, he looked up at Tao Shangli, "Are there any other members?" ”

Tao Shangli was puzzled: "And?" ”

He subconsciously glanced at the character information in front of the other party, but quickly withdrew his gaze.

"It's pretty comprehensive."

Chen Yi was silent for a while, shook his head and said, "No, there must still be." ”

Seeing this, Tao Shangli also fell silent.

Chen Yi spoke: "Think about it again, is there anything missing." ”

He had already understood that the organizers of the year were very well prepared, and it could be said that all the characters that could be used were summoned, and they were still strangers.

If that's the case, it's impossible to bring an inconsequential guy, it definitely works.

"Hmmm......"

Tao Shangli frowned and fell into deep thought.

The atmosphere quieted down.

After a long time, Tao Shangli spoke: "There is another possibility, the pot only determines the approximate location of the ancient tomb, but it cannot lock the exact location, so you need a person to locate the tomb, called the fixed cave." ”

"This work requires a high level of technical content, and it is also a very deep knowledge."

"Looking at the color of the grass, looking at the mud marks, and putting your hands on the pergola to fix the acupoints, these are all based on science."

Hearing this, Zhao Qiming couldn't help but say, "What does the pergola mean?" ”

Tao Shangli said with a smile: "It's just an ordinary action, when looking at it, use one hand flat on the forehead to cover the sun, that is, put your hand on the pergola." ”

"Tomb robbers with a lot of experience and technology can do this."

Zhao Qiming said twice: "I understand, I understand, is it so powerful?" That's not the same anymore. ”

Tao Shangli: "It's not all fiction. ”

Zhao Qiming nodded slightly.

Chen Yi spoke at this time: "Is there anything else?" ”

"Huh?"

Tao Shangli was stunned for a moment.

"And?"

"Officer Chen, I really can't think of anything else."

Chen Yi smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, it's not necessarily reasonable, tell me what comes to mind." ”

"Based on what you know, do you think there's anything missing in the team?"

"It's okay to have the icing on the cake."

Tao Shangli thought for a while and said: "If you want to ask like this, then there are, for example, you need financial support, so you need one to provide funds, and you need technical support, you need modern equipment, and you need people to provide it." ”

"For example, ground penetrating radar, metal detectors, gas analyzers, and so on, these things are very helpful in going down to the tomb."

Chen Yi: "These things...... Was it twenty-five years ago? ”

Tao Shangli was surprised: "Twenty-five years ago? It's been so long. ”

"Yes...... However, whether it is ground penetrating radar, metal detector or gas analyzer, they were all invented in the last century, the earliest was at the beginning of the last century, but the time of transmission to China is uncertain. ”

"But as long as you have money and a way, you can definitely buy it."

After speaking, he paused and continued: "I personally think that it was impossible twenty-five years ago, ordinary tomb robbers are not so professional, and there is no big tomb in Jiangcheng, so why waste time and energy here." ”

Chen Yi nodded: "Okay, thank you, I understand." ”

After speaking, he looked at Tao Shangli's gaze, and a trace of doubt flashed.

There is too much information I got from Tao Shangli today, and the other party seems to know everything and knows a lot about tomb robbing.

Although archaeology and tomb robbing have the same goal, after all, one is legal and the other is not, and there are chains of contempt within the same industry, let alone different classifications.

Could it be that archaeologists would still specialize in this thing?

The most important thing is that from Tao Shangli's tone, you can hear the praise and affirmation of the tomb robbers' skills, rather than blows and anger.

It's kind of quirky.

Is it normal? He didn't know.

This is just a trace of Chen Yi's doubts, and he is embarrassed to say it, after all, Tao Shangli came over today to help, and he did help a lot.

This doubt of oneself is somewhat of a villain's heart and the smell of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

"You're welcome, as it should be." Tao Shangli smiled, "Officer Chen, is there anything else you need help with?" ”

Chen Yi pondered for a while and said, "Shang Li, do you know about the identification of cultural relics?" ”

Tao Shangli nodded: "Of course I understand, this is a necessary technique, but ...... Not a master. ”

"As an archaeologist, the authenticity of antiques can still be identified, but if the imitation is more realistic and controversial, it requires the presence of old experts, who are more experienced."

"My words, it still depends on the category, like us archaeologists, everyone has their own field of study, such as calligraphy and painting, jade, bronze and so on."

"It's impossible to be good at identification, and people's energy is limited after all."

Chen Yi: "I understand. ”

The antique line still needs time to be immersed to improve the level, unless you open the plug-in.

"Porcelain vases and the like, can you identify them?" He asked.

Tao Shangli: "Yes, this is within the scope of my skills. ”

Hearing this, Chen Yi begged: "Then can you go to a place with me and identify a few things?" ”

Tao Shangli: "No problem, I have already taken out all the time this afternoon, and I will listen to Officer Chen's arrangement." ”

Chen Yi said sincerely: "Thank you very much, I'm really sorry for your trouble." ”

Tao Shangli smiled: "It's all friends, Officer Chen doesn't have to see outside, can you go now?" ”

Chen Yi nodded: "Well, go now." ”

"Captain Zhao, call Mrs. Cao and make arrangements."

Zhao Qiming took out his mobile phone: "Okay." ”

……

Two hours later, the group came to Cao Yuning's father's house and stood in front of the bookcase in the study.

Tao Shangli's face was a little solemn, and after looking at it for a while, he carefully picked up one of the porcelain bottles and studied it seriously.

As time passed, Tao Shangli's face became more and more serious.

Chen Yi and the others stood next to him without speaking, waiting quietly.

I don't know how long it took, Tao Shangli took a deep breath and said slowly: "Officer Chen, this is Longquan celadon of the Two Song Dynasty, worth tens of millions." ”

Hearing this, Chen Yi's eyes condensed slightly.

Zhao Qiming and others were also surprised, they didn't expect the price of this item to be so high.

"Are you sure?"

Tao Shangli nodded: "One glance old, very sure, open the door." ”

After saying that, he studied it again, as if he had seen some rare thing, and he couldn't put it down.

Chen Yi looked up at the other ornaments slightly and asked, "What about the others?" ”

Tao Shangli was still studying the porcelain vase in his hand, and said: "The others are Qingmin kilns, which are not very valuable, and the price ranges from hundreds to thousands, and the accurate number needs to be more professionally identified." ”

Compared with tens of millions of Longquan celadons, a few thousand pieces are very cold.

After watching it for a while, Tao Shangli smacked his lips and reluctantly put the porcelain bottle back.

"Whose thing is this, can I ask?" He couldn't hold back.

Chen Yi said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I can't talk about this matter for the time being." ”

Tao Shangli hesitated: "This ...... It's stolen, right? ”

Chen Yi had been asking about tomb robbery before, and he couldn't help but associate it.

Chen Yi smiled: "Shang Li, don't ask yet, if it's really stolen, we'll hand it over." ”

Tao Shangli nodded: "I'm sorry, I said too much." ”

Chen Yi: "It's okay, understand. ”

The other party is an archaeologist, and it is normal to be excited when he finally saw a rare thing.

"Thank you so much today, hard work, let's have a meal together."

Tao Shangli politely refused: "If there is nothing wrong with me, I will go back, and the next time I go back to my hometown, I will definitely notify Officer Chen, and we will have another drink." ”

Chen Yi didn't insist: "Okay, then it's decided." ”

Downstairs, Tao Shangli drove away, and Chen Yi waved goodbye with a smile.

When he couldn't see the other party's vehicle, Chen Yi put down his hand, habitually took out the cigarette case, and his smile also converged.

"Tomb Clearing...... It seems that the tomb has been cleared. ”

Tao Shangli said that most of the tombs in Jiangcheng were cleared, and a large number of Qing kiln porcelain was found in Cao Maojun's house, so the tomb robbery incident 25 years ago should be the tomb of Qing.

Is there only one genuine thing in the whole tomb? Nothing else is worth much?

While he was thinking, Zhao Qiming spoke on the side: "This Cao Maojun is not authentic, he took the most valuable thing, and then gave the fakes to others, is this what Cao Yuning said, going crazy?" ”

Shi Xin's face was solemn: "This question is not important now, the important thing is that we seem to have determined what is going on in this case, and we have also found the common ground and connection between the six people." ”

"Also, Team Leader Chen's previous inference is correct, the murderer is probably not Cao Yuning, it is very likely that the father and son will pay the debt."

"I don't know if Cao Maojun went mad, but the murderer must have been driven by some kind of motive and completely went mad."
