Chen Yi smoked a cigarette and didn't know what he was thinking.

At this time, Zhao Qiming continued: "Since it has been basically determined that the six people participated in the tomb robbery more than 20 years ago, and everyone has their own role, including Sun Jianli, a farmer, what about the murderer or the murderer's related people? ”

"What role did he play among these people?"

Shi Xindao: "Didn't Team Leader Chen ask a few more questions in the afternoon, maybe to locate the location of the ancient tomb, maybe to provide financial support, or technical support or something." ”

"Whatever it does, it works."

Zhao Qiming pondered: "If we can determine what role he plays, the characteristics will be there, and the scope of the investigation will be greatly reduced." ”

"What about this situation now?"

"In the vast sea of people, where can we go to find this seventh person?"

"What's more, there is a possibility that the murderer did not participate in this tomb robbery at all, and he killed for other reasons."

When this question was raised, both of them fell silent, and then turned their heads to look at Chen Yi very tacitly.

After so many days of visits and investigations, it is not easy to find out the contact between the five victims more than ten years ago based on the new case, but this is only the first step, and it is just to determine the direction of investigation for the police.

The motive for the crime, who the murderer is, and the whereabouts of the murderer are all problems that need to be overcome next.

Soon after the voices of the two fell, Chen Yi flicked the cigarette ash and said: "Don't worry, it's not a month yet, we can find out the connection between several people, which is a major breakthrough for this case." ”

"As for who the murderer or the murderer is related to, and whether he participated in the tomb robbery incident, we will not consider it for now, and slowly investigate step by step."

"Maybe in the course of the next investigation, new clues will continue to emerge."

Hearing this, Zhao Qiming nodded and said, "I hope that the visit over there can be results, if someone can know these six people, even one or two of them are good, maybe they can provide us with key information." ”

Chen Yidao: "The visit will take a long time, just wait. ”

"Of course, we can't be idle while waiting, we can ......"

At this point, he stopped.

A few people waited for a while and didn't see anything else, and they all looked at it strangely.

"What can be?" Zhao Qiming spoke.

Chen Yi didn't continue, but talked about Tao Shangli.

"What do you think...... How is Tao Shangli? ”

Zhao Qiming didn't know why: "What's how?" What does it mean? ”

Chen Yi: "He knows so much about tomb robbing, does he have a feeling that he knows too much?" ”

This made several people look at each other, good guy, you are the one who came to help, and it did help the police a lot, and now you ...... Suspicious of people?

They don't understand archaeology and tomb robbing, and they can't give judgments.

"Uh...... It's all antiques, so it's normal to know a lot, right? ”

When he spoke, he had a good impression of Tao Shangli, and the other party was still Chen Yi's friend, objectively speaking, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Tao Shangli.

At least judging from the performance of the other party today, there is no problem.

Chen Yi groaned slightly, and said: "In this way, anyway, the family's words cannot be trusted, He Deputy Branch will check the more respected archaeologists in Jiangcheng, and we will ...... tomorrow No, today, tonight, come and visit. ”

When new: "Okay, I'll check right away." ”

……

At eight o'clock in the evening, an old community in Jiangcheng.

Chen Yi knocked on the door of a man named Guo Zhongchao's house.

Guo Zhongchao, male, 62 years old, the most qualified archaeologist in Jiangcheng Museum, is not only a distinguished professor of Jiangcheng University, but also works in a research institution, which can be said to be very famous.

"Come on, come on, come in." The door was opened by a woman in her fifties with a smile on her face and was very polite.

Compared with her, the contrast between Guo Zhongchao is more obvious, when a few people came in, the other party was sitting on the sofa watching TV, just turned his head and glanced at it, not very cold.

I can understand, after all, he is an old scholar, and it is normal for him to have a strange personality after experiencing a long time.

"Lao Guo! The guests are coming! The woman was very dissatisfied.

Guo Zhongchao reluctantly turned off the TV.

"Let's talk, I'll pour you a glass of water." The woman smiled and spoke.

Chen Yi hurriedly said: "Auntie, don't bother, it's really bothering, we'll leave in a while." ”

The woman left, waved her hand and said, "No trouble, no trouble, you talk." ”

Seeing this, Chen Yi no longer insisted, and stepped forward to sit diagonally opposite Guo Zhongchao.

The decoration of the home is relatively simple, very simple, it is certainly not difficult to make money with Guo Zhongchao's status, and it can get unanimous praise from the outside world, which indirectly shows that the other party's sleeves are breezy and focused on research.

"Professor Guo, I'm really disturbing." Chen Yi lowered his profile.

Guo Zhongchao snorted and said lightly: "What is the matter with the police coming to me?" I didn't commit a crime. ”

Chen Yi smiled: "Professor Guo misunderstood, the case has nothing to do with you, we just came to visit, and by the way, we asked some things that we don't know much about." ”

Guo Zhongchao: "Something to do with archaeology? ”

Chen Yi: "It's about making money. ”

Guo Zhongchao was stunned for a moment, and said with an ugly face: "Cultural relics research is science, and research is not done to make money!" ”

Chen Yi: "I mean making money is robbing tombs. ”

Hearing the word tomb robbery, Guo Zhongchao became even more angry: "I am an archaeologist, not a tomb robber!" ”

"You want to know about tomb robbers, go find tomb robbers! There are so many in prison! ”

He was right, there were indeed tomb robbers in the prison, and this was Chen Yi's next direction of investigation, but not today, not now.

Seeing that Guo Zhongchao's temper was not very good, Zhao Qiming and the others glanced at each other, and they all touched their foreheads with some embarrassment.

The personality of some research scholars is indeed a little weird, and it can be understood, after all, they are focused on learning and don't listen to things outside the window.

At this time, Chen Yi's mind turned, took out his mobile phone and pulled up the photo of the porcelain vase, and then handed it to Guo Zhongchao.

"Professor Guo, take a look at this."

Guo Zhongchao glanced at it casually, then fixed his gaze and took it.

"Longquan celadon of the two songs? Where did you get it?? ”

Chen Yi smiled and said, "Professor Guo is worthy of being a senior archaeologist, and he can see it at just a glance. ”

"Do you think that's true?"

Guo Zhongchao frowned, stared at the screen for a while, and said: "Only the photos are not easy to judge, but the feeling given to me should be true, at a glance." ”

"Where?"

Chen Yi: "In the tomb." ”

Guo Zhongchao asked: "What tomb?" ”

Chen Yi: "It should be...... It is a tomb clearing. ”

Guo Zhongchao talked more: "Are you from Jiangcheng?" ”

Chen Yi nodded: "There is a high probability that it will come from Jiangcheng." ”

This matter is not 100% sure, it can only be said that there is a high probability, who knows where this group of people went to rob the tomb, and it may not really be in Jiangcheng.

Guo Zhongchao was silent for a while, then returned the phone to Chen Yi, who took it and put it away.

"What do you want to ask?" He said.

Several people looked at Chen Yi, but the other party still had a way to use what the other party was interested in to close the distance between each other.

Chen Yi chuckled and said, "Professor Guo, we just want to understand the tomb robbery industry. ”

Guo Zhongchao sighed, shook his head and said: "What's there to know about this, it's like a rat drilling around, without any technical content, isn't it just a group of hillbillies doing manual work?" ”

"I don't know what the hell you're trying to know."

Chen Yi raised his eyebrows: "You hate tomb robbers very much, don't you look down on them?" ”

Guo Zhongchao: "Nonsense, that's a crime, why should I take a fancy to them?" ”

Chen Yi hesitated: "But as far as I know, there are more professional people among these tomb robbers, right?" Like what...... Fix the acupuncture points or something. ”

Guo Zhongchao waved his hand: "I don't care if I don't care about the acupuncture points, I'm just a group of hillbillies who can't see the light." ”

"When it comes to technology, can they compare to us?"

Chen Yi: "Professor Guo, is this your personal attitude, or is this the attitude of other archaeologists?" ”

Obviously, Guo Zhongchao is scornful of tomb robbing, and he can't be described as a hillbilly.

Guo Zhongchao glanced at Chen Yi and said slowly: "This police officer, what are the tomb robbers for?" For money. ”

"As long as they can get more benefits, they can do anything to the tomb, wreak havoc, and don't care what the consequences of doing so will be."

"Over the past few decades, I have seen too many stolen ancient tombs, which are like dogs gnawing, and there are no things left with historical value of cultural relics, and even the heavy objects and walls that cannot be taken away have been chiseled and chiseled, and the explosions have been blown up, which greatly affects the research."

What does this mean? It means that this group of bastards has indirectly led to a fault line in history, what attitude do you think I should have?! ”

As he spoke, his emotions became agitated again.

At this time, Guo Zhongchao's wife came over with the brewed tea and complained: "Old Guo, speak well, after all, he is a policeman, and he is so young, he can be your grandson." ”

"Besides, aren't they here to investigate the case? Won't you be able to breathe a sigh of relief after catching those tomb robbers? ”

Listening to his wife's words, Guo Zhongchao's expression softened slightly, but he still snorted coldly: "What's the use of catching it after the destruction is over!" ”

Chen Yi and the others did not get angry, but had respect for Guo Zhongchao.

The other party is not for himself, but for history, for research, for the vanished cultural relics.

The public is selfless and must be respected, this is a real scholar and a national treasure.

In that case......

Tao Shangli talked eloquently about tomb robbing, and also said that some techniques are also worth learning from them, which is a bit ...... Something wasn't quite right.

"Come, you have tea." The woman glared at Guo Zhongchao, and then smiled at Chen Yi.

Chen Yi hurriedly got up and said politely, "Thank you." ”

"It's okay, sit down, sit down, you talk, I'll clean up the kitchen."

"Lao Guo, speak well."

Guo Zhongchao whispered.

Chen Yi sat back, and after thinking for a moment, he continued to ask, "Professor Guo, do you know the pot and the palm eye?" ”

Guo Zhongchao took a sip of the teacup and said, "I've heard it, it's a common saying used by those bastards, right?" ”

Chen Yi nodded: "That's right." ”

"There is a person I mention, do you know me, Tao Shangli."

"Tao Shangli?" Guo Zhongchao was surprised, "I know, a very good young man, what's wrong?" ”

Chen Yi smiled: "It's nothing, a friend of mine, casually mention it." ”

Guo Zhongchao sighed and said: "Tao Shangli, this kid is quite talented, I admire him very much, in another ten or twenty years, maybe he can become the mainstay of the archaeological community in Jiangcheng and even Dongzhou." ”

Several people chatted for a long time, until half past nine in the evening, Chen Yi got up and prepared to leave.

"What's that, the Longquan celadon of the Two Song Dynasty is stolen, right? Do I have to turn it in? Guo Zhongchao couldn't help but ask.

Chen Yi replied with a smile: "It's not necessarily, if it is, it will definitely be." ”

"When the time comes, I will be the first to inform Professor Guo."

Guo Zhongchao: "Okay, thank you then." ”

Chen Yi: "You're welcome. ”

Leaving Guo Zhongchao's house and coming downstairs, Zhao Qiming looked at Chen Yi while being quiet.

After understanding just now, they had to suspect that Tao Shangli...... It is true that there may be a problem.

It's awkward.

Originally, I was looking for him for help, but now I am suspicious again, and I don't know what Chen Yi thinks now.

Dig deeper, or pretend you don't know? Anyway, there is no evidence to prove that Tao Shangli is related to tomb robbing.

"Team Leader Chen, Tao Shangli ...... Are your loved ones alive? After half a ring, Zhao Qiming asked.

The first thing he had to think of was definitely twenty-five years ago, when Tao Shangli was at most ten years old, and it was unlikely that he would participate in tomb robbing, unless it was some narrow passage that required children to enter and exit.

This possibility is not too big, and the biggest possibility should be on Tao Shangli's relatives.

For example, if Tao Shangli's father is dead, and he happened to die twenty-five years ago, then this matter is a bit ......

Chen Yi shook his head: "He should have nothing to do with this case, his parents are here, his grandmother is here, and his grandfather's words are ......."

"Get in the car, Deputy He will check it immediately."

When new: "Okay. ”

Inside the car.

When Xin put the computer on his lap and stared at the screen: "His grandfather is still alive." ”

Hearing this, Chen Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhao Qiming also shook his head with a smile, it seems that he is too sensitive to investigate the case and thinks a little too much.

How could it be such a coincidence, Chen Yi met an archaeologist half a year ago, and half a year later, Jiangcheng investigated the case and asked the other party for help, and then found that Tao Shangli had suspicious points, and finally found out that he was related to this case?

The probability of such a coincidence can be said to be infinitely close to zero.

"Then how is his understanding and attitude towards tomb robbing completely different from Guo Zhongchao? Is it just because of individual differences? Zhao Qiming said.

After all, Guo Zhongchao is old, older people are more conservative and stubborn, while Tao Shangli is much younger and open-minded.

Maybe...... He belongs to the category of tomb robbers who do not advocate tomb robbers, but will affirm their abilities, both positive and negative?

Shi Xin stared at the computer: "I was about to talk about it. ”

"Tao Shangli's father, Tao Hanhui, opened an antique shop in Yangcheng, and has been open for many years."

"It may have been influenced by family education and environment that Tao Shangli chose to become an archaeologist when he grew up."

"Since I am running an antique shop, I know all kinds of people, and I know that my understanding is relatively mixed, so Tao Shangli is familiar with it."

"That explains it."

Zhao Qiming nodded: "Oh, so that's the case, what does Team Leader Chen think?" ”
