Chapter 43: I Believe in Science
Qiu Zhe sat on the ground, his whole body sore and weak. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 There was a rush of footsteps in Info's ears, it seemed that someone was rushing this way, and he didn't even have the strength to lift a finger, so he had to resign himself to fate. Immediately after the sound of gunshots, crackling like firecrackers, about a quarter of an hour later, someone surrounded him and pointed a gun at his head.
"Be honest!"
Qiu Zhe barely raised his eyes, and when he saw a group of big caps surrounding him, he was suddenly relieved, and he opened his mouth to speak, only to feel a sense of sleepiness and weakness. The policemen didn't say much to him, handcuffed him and carried him directly into the police car, and after a rush of sirens, he fell asleep in the police car.
In a daze, I don't know how long I slept, someone gently tapped him on the shoulder. Qiu Zhe woke up from his sleep and saw a familiar face.
"You're everywhere. Guan Linfeng frowned and said:
"I want to say that too. ”
"Don't be funny, what's going on this time. How could you appear in Lin Mancang's den, if I hadn't come to the city bureau to deal with the case, you would have dealt with Director Ma as an accomplice. ”
Qiu Zhe gave a general account of what had happened, and explained clearly why he appeared there. Guan Linfeng smiled slightly when he heard this: "You are lucky, the police have been staring at the Nanxiang Association for almost half a year, and they just chose to do it last night, otherwise you may have to explain there." ”
It turned out that after Lin Mancang made his career, he had always taken the Mid-Levels Garden as the base camp for his activities, and bought more than a dozen villas one after another, which happened to be connected. Homer, as the worship of the gang, lived in the middle of the villa complex. He noticed movement in the basement, rushed over and signaled the others.
If the police hadn't chosen to do it at this time, with Qiu Zhe's situation at the time, any gunman could have killed him. Listening to Linfeng's ins and outs, Qiu Zhe hurriedly thanked him.
"If you really want to thank me, come and help our group, the Security Bureau needs people like you. Guan Linfeng half-jokingly tentatively.
Qiu Zhe didn't answer, Guan Linfeng didn't care, and followed closely:
"If you don't want to, forget it, but if I ask you for help, it won't be a problem, right?"
"Okay. This time, Qiu Zhe did not refuse again.
This is the so-called art of speaking, first make a request that is destined to be rejected, wait for the other person to feel guilty because of the previous rejection, and then retreat to the second, the new request is easier to accept.
"Lin Mancang and those people from the Nanxiang Society, how are they?"
"Don't worry, none of them have run away. Captain Guan smiled happily: "The so-called Nanxiang Association is just a pretense, and it is simply a name made up by Lin Mancang and those people in order to collect money." Leading the way is the wizard named Homer, their true leader. You are crooked this time, Lin Mancang is probably in order to answer He Ma, all of them went over with guns, and they were blocked in the villa, and they were seized at once. Director Ma, they have been preparing for this operation for a long time, and the details of these people are almost the same, and they are finally done. ”
"Xiaoqiu, Xiaoqiu," before Captain Guan's voice fell, Cui Peng hurriedly walked in from outside the door: "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine," Qiu Zhe said, "Why are you here?" ”
"Captain Guan informed me," Cui Peng greeted Guan Linfeng: "Team Guan, can I take someone away if it's okay?"
"Okay," Guan Linfeng said, "I've said hello to all the formalities, by the way, your uncle is back?"
"yes, I just arrived a few days ago, and I went to pick up the plane. ”
"Then I'll go with you," Guan Linfeng's eyes lit up: "It just so happens that I have something to look for him." ”
Qiu Zhe is the first time to meet Cui Peng's seventh uncle Cui Hao, this is a rather handsome young man, his appearance is three points similar to Cui Peng, his facial features are not as delicate as his nephew, but his temperament is more elegant and stable, and there is a bit of edge in his simplicity. I heard that this Professor Cui is less than 30 this year, not a few years older than Cui Peng, but his achievements are very different, and he has always been used by Cui Peng's father as a role model for educating his son.
When he saw his nephew coming, his expression was very flat, but he was very polite to Qiu Zhe and the captain of the pipe, and while instructing the nanny to make tea, he led a few people to sit down on the sofa in the living room in turn. After a few simple greetings, Captain Guan got straight to the point:
"Xiao Cui, I'm not looking for you to chat, there is something I want to ask. ”
"What's the matter?"
"Have you ever heard of the exposition burglary that happened some time ago?"
The 12th World Civilization Expo, which was held at the Jiangdong International Exhibition Center in April, was forced to temporarily close the venue due to a sudden theft. There are two missing artifacts, one of which is a magic mirror that later appeared in the coma of the Jiang University girl and played the role of the culprit, while the other gold plate, which is said to date back to the Six Dynasties, has been missing.
The Security Service had long suspected that the disappearance of the antiquities was related to Ali Pasha's entry, and in order to track down the notorious antiquities thief, they investigated the collector of the gold plate, and the result was very surprising: the gold plate was actually the work of a group of tomb robbers.
The police were immediately dispatched to wipe out the tomb robber gang, and from the mouth of the gang leader, they learned more detailed information. At the beginning of the year, these people dug an ancient tomb on Yupan Mountain in Hedong Province, and the gold plate was one of the burial goods. Through the private trading network of the tomb robber gang, this gold plate was bought from time to time, and then by chance, it appeared at the fair.
The other cultural relics unearthed at the same time as the gold plate have been missing. Only one of the parchment scrolls, for which photocopies have been preserved, and it is not known to whom the original has fallen.
The Security Bureau brought in experts to interpret the photocopy, and because of its age, the scroll itself was old, and the photocopy was poorly kept and damaged by the tomb robbers, so the information obtained was fragmented and very vague, and it was only known that the record seemed to be related to an ancient monk.
"I thought the clue would be served here," Guan Linfeng opened his backpack, and inside was a gold plate in the shape of a lotus platform, similar in size and thickness to a dinner plate, with some strange lines engraved on the surface: "But when I searched the Nanxiang Association last night, I found this." ”
"Is this the missing piece of the museum?" asked Cui Hao.
"No, we brought in the video files from the museum, the two gold plates are very similar, but there are some differences in details, especially the lines on the surface are different, it should not be the same piece. ”
Cui Hao took the gold plate, rubbed it in his hand for a while, and said to Guan Linfeng: "You wait." He turned and walked into another empty room.
After about ten minutes, he returned to the living room and returned the gold plate to Guan Linfeng: "I have tested, there is indeed a strange energy in this gold plate, but the strength is not high, if it is according to the definition of surreal power in the underground world, it is not qualified at all. ”
"Then how can the sunbird be interested in this gold plate?" Guan Linfeng felt a little headache: "I interrogated Lin Mancang overnight, only to find out that they had already hooked up with the sunbird, this kind of gold plate is the target of the sunbird's heavy gold reward, it is said that there are several pieces, this one was found by them from the storage of a wealthy merchant not long ago, if you guess correctly, it should be the same batch unearthed." ”
"That's the matter of your Security Bureau," Cui Hao smiled, "I'm a scientist, and I'm only responsible for providing scientific results." ”
"Okay," Guan Linfeng said helplessly: "By the way, do you have any friendship with the Thousand Buddha Temple?"
"Nope. Cui Hao replied very happily: "I believe in science, not religion." ”
Guan Linfeng glanced at the two people sitting on the side, intentionally or unintentionally: "Since you say so, forget it." ”
Cui Peng listened to it with pleasure on the side, he has always been keen on these things, and seeing that the topic had a tendency to be terminated by his uncle, he hurriedly asked:
"The Thousand Buddhas Temple is a temple, what does it have to do with what you just said, Captain Guan. ”
"Yes, the Thousand Buddha Temple is a thousand-year-old temple in the southwest of Linchuan City, but the place is very hidden. Hearing Cui Peng's answer, a glimmer of light flashed in Guan Linfeng's eyes: "We are looking for someone to identify the text of the parchment scroll, which mentions the Thousand Buddha Temple." We wanted to investigate, but we couldn't find anyone to talk to. ”
"Your security bureau has such a great ability, just go to the Thousand Buddha Temple and say it. ”
"Hehe," Guan Linfeng laughed dryly: "The Thousand Buddha Temple is not an ordinary temple, but a famous cultivation sect. If it's an ordinary temple, we can take it over directly, but not the Thousand Buddha Temple, even if the Security Bureau does something, we have to pay attention to the impact. ”
Since ancient times, the relationship between the underground world and the court has been very delicate. For the court, Confucianism is a violation of the law, and chivalry is a violation of the ban, and these people with surreal power are even more troublesome. If they had a choice, they would certainly like the whole world to be ordinary people.
But there is no what if, and it is reasonable to exist. The underground world has existed and thrived thousands of years ago, and it has long been an immeasurable behemoth. Even if the court has the power of a country, it has to face it squarely. At this time, it is no longer realistic to blindly use strength, and the only way to do this is to attract and differentiate, absorb what can be absorbed, and cooperate and cooperate. And practice has also proved that the magical abilities possessed by the underground world can indeed bring a lot of help to the court.
Especially in today's world, the international situation is changing with each passing day, and while all countries are reorganizing their armies and military forces, they have never stopped studying the forces of the surreal world. For example, the 51st district of Lao Mi has almost become an open secret. Middle-earth is naturally vigilant, even if it is for self-preservation, it has to keep up with the times. Because of this, the Security Bureau is not good at being too tough on the Thousand Buddha Temple, and can only use this way to detour.
"You talk," Cui Hao didn't seem interested in these topics: "I'll go to the study to find some information." ”
Seeing Cui Hao walk away, Guan Linfeng shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly, turned his head to Cui Peng and said, "After so many years, your uncle is still the same." ”
Cui Peng was a little embarrassed, he had always felt a little strange about the relationship between Guan Linfeng and his uncle, so he had to change the topic: "Captain Guan, you tell us these things, it doesn't matter, right?"
"It doesn't matter, I talked to you last time, and everyone is not an outsider. ”
"And what are you going to do now?"
"I haven't thought about it yet, but judging from the words in the ancient scrolls, it is obvious that the Thousand Buddha Temple is a very important place, and maybe there are legendary ruins in it. So we must hurry, otherwise I am afraid that someone will go ahead of us. ”
"You mean Ali Pasha?" Cui Peng reacted immediately.
"Smart, worthy of Xiao Cui's nephew. We found evidence in the transaction records of the smuggling syndicate that the original scroll was bought by a multinational syndicate affiliated with Sunbird, in March. Then Ali Pasha entered the country in April, followed by the theft of the gold plate. We are reasonably sure that it was Ali Pasha who stole the gold plate. Since the Sunbird has obtained the original scroll, and has a lot more information in his hands than us, we can find the Thousand Buddha Temple, and they must be able to do it too. ”
