Gu Chen also noticed that Ding Liang's speech was a little vague, and he felt mysterious.

What does it mean that a suspicious location has been found, but it is difficult to investigate?

It seems to be a bit inconsistent.

didn't think much about it, Gu Chen said directly: "You take me to have a look." ”

"Okay, you come with me. ”

Ding Liang didn't have time to think about it, and directly took Gu Chen and the others to the exhibition hall together.

When everyone came to a backyard passage, the rows of lockers suddenly made everyone's eyes shine.

Throughout the passage, there are dense lockers of various lockers, which are dazzling to see.

Gu Chen turned his head and asked Ding Liang, "What are these?"

"The caretaker said it was the lockers for the staff, and sometimes when the pavilion needed to receive a large number of tour groups, they would also be used as temporary lockers for tourists. ”

"So many?" Lu Weiwei looked at the dense lockers in front of her, and suddenly nodded a little: "How many are there in total?"

"According to preliminary estimates, there are more than 800, right?" Ding Liang said.

"More than 800?" Officer Wang frowned when he heard this.

It is possible for the cultural relics to be hidden here, but the more than 800 lockers, just opening them one by one, is also a big project.

But if you don't open it, you can't find it if you don't open it, Officer Wang still stubbornly asked: "In this way, let's all work hard and check these lockers together." ”

Glancing at Ding Liang, Officer Wang said again: "Xiao Ding, you can bring the key." ”

"Key?" When Ding Liang heard this, he immediately said with a bitter face: "If I have a key, I will serve myself, and I don't have to bother you to do it, but the key is that I don't have a key." ”

"You don't have a key?" Officer Wang was stunned, and couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, so he said, "Isn't it normal that you don't have a key?" ”

"He doesn't have a key either. Ding Liang also shook his head, feeling a little helpless.

At this moment, Officer Wang was stunned, and said in his heart, what is the situation? In an exhibition hall, even the administrator does not have a locker key? Isn't this an international joke?

Thinking that Ding Liang might be joking, Officer Wang said, "In this way, Ding Liang, you call the administrator to me now." ”

"Okay, you guys wait here. Ding nodded and trotted away.

It didn't take long for him to take the pavilion administrator, who was the one who had helped Gu Chen retrieve the monitoring before, and walked over quickly.

"People brought. Ding Liang said.

The administrator also nodded at Gu Chen: "Officer Gu." ”

"Where is the key to this locker?" Gu Chen asked him directly.

The administrator said with a bitter face: "I only have one key." ”

"What?" Lu Weiwei thought she had misheard.

You know, just looking at these more than 800 lockers, just looking at the appearance is also a high-end batch, it can be seen that the locker merchants have made recommendations to the leaders of the exhibition hall.

But this kind of locker is basically a key to open a lock, and the administrator said that he only has one, which means that he can only open one storage box, which is a bit funny.

Seeing that everyone didn't believe him, the administrator took out one of his bunch of keys, found a small key, called locker 23, and took out an umbrella from it.

"This is my own storage box, and every one of our employees working in the pavilion has their own storage box, and each person only has a key. ”

"And the storage boxes numbered from 1 to 100 are for our internal staff, and they are numbered 100 or more, all for tourists, and I don't have these keys. ”

"Then who has?" asked Yuan Shasha.

The administrator said: "Our deputy curator, he has the keys, but those keys are all in his house, and he is still on a business trip now, and he can only come back tonight." ”

"What about your exhibition tomorrow? How do you store your belongings without keys? If these lockers don't serve visitors, do you buy them as decorations?"

Gu Chen also expressed his thoughts in his heart.

It feels like these lockers are brand new, and they look like the pavilion's newly ordered supplies.

The administrator was a little embarrassed and said: "Our batch of lockers was only installed on the eve of the National Day, and we are waiting for tomorrow to use." ”

"But the venue set aside 100 numbers for our internal staff to use, and I just got a key. ”

"But tonight, when our deputy curator comes back from a business trip, he will bring those remaining keys from home, and tomorrow visitors who buy tickets can get a locker key with the ticket for temporary storage. ”

"However, if you want to open all the storage boxes, you can only wait until the evening when our deputy curator comes home. ”

"Wait until the evening?" Doesn't that feel like stalling for time?

Especially now that Zhang Qi's whereabouts are unknown, and the cultural relics are nowhere to be found.

The longer the time drags on, the more variable it may become.

After all, the inner ghost Lu Junhao and his accomplice Zhang Wei were all caught, and if Zhang Qi changed temporarily, there may be a lot of uncertainties.

Therefore, Lu Weiwei felt that she couldn't afford to wait, so she asked again: "Is there anyone else in his house?" Let's go to his house to get the key. ”

"Nope. The administrator shook his head and said, "The deputy curator is on a business trip, and his family is busy during the National Day holiday, so now he has just traveled to other places, and there may be no one at home for a while." ”

Afraid that the police would be too anxious, the administrator also comforted and said, "Why don't I call the leader and ask him to come back as soon as possible?"

"That's all there is to it. "Gu Chen has no other way at the moment, but to agree with the administrator's opinion.

So the administrator took out his mobile phone and began to call the deputy curator.

After a period of communication, the administrator's face did not improve, his brows kept frowning, and he answered the phone with anxiety throughout the whole process.

Gu Chen could tell from the administrator's facial expression that there didn't seem to be any good results.

Hanging up the phone, the administrator was a little embarrassed and said: "I'm sorry Comrade police, the deputy curator is the high-speed train to Jiangnan City at 8 o'clock in the evening, and now it is difficult to buy tickets, and I will come to the exhibition hall again when I return to my home in Jiangnan City, and it is estimated that it will be after 9 o'clock in the evening." ”

"So late?" Hearing the administrator's words, Lu Weiwei, who had some longing before, suddenly wilted like a deflated ball. ”

"If you go back to the exhibition hall so late, then you have to open these storage boxes one by one, and you will be busy until midnight. ”

Thinking of this, Lu Weiwei suddenly said with a bitter face: "It seems that most of the time today is waiting." ”

"Is there no other way?" asked Yuan Shasha again.

"Nope. The administrator still shook his head.

"For example...... Pry open these lockers?" Lu Weiwei thought.

The administrator immediately stopped: "I can't do it, this can't be done, these lockers have just been purchased, and you have to pry them all open?"

"I, Senior Sister Lu, are joking with you. Seeing that the administrator was nervous, Gu Chen also smiled lightly and said, "If you think about it, you know, how long does it take to pry a locker? How long does it take to pry open more than 800 lockers? ”

"It's also huh. Seeing that Gu Chen was an understanding person, the administrator's hanging heart finally let go, and he just said a little apologetically: "I'm really embarrassed, why don't you go to other places to find it first?"

"That's fine. Gu Chen agreed with this statement.

At present, it is a little difficult to find Zhang Qi, but it seems that it is not difficult to find cultural relics.

It is unlikely that the artifacts will be taken out of the exhibition hall, so it is still possible to find clues as long as you look carefully, it is only a matter of time.

But for now, there is a good chance that the artifacts are hidden in storage boxes.

After all, I learned from Zhang Wei that he and Zhang Qi were both habitual thieves.

For professional thieves, it is not a problem to pick the locks of several lockers.

But for myself, it is indeed difficult to pry open more than 800 lockers.

Even if you have the key, opening more than 800 lockers one by one is a big project.

Seeing that everyone began to look separately, Gu Chen was still standing in front of the honeycomb locker, and began to check the situation of the locker from left to right.

Since it was a newly purchased material from the exhibition hall, the smell of paint in the lockers was still a bit strong.

When Gu Chen walked all the way to the far right, he suddenly found that on the outside of the rightmost locker, there was a small mark written in pencil.

Ordinary people may not be able to see clearly, but Gu Chen has master-level observation, and this subtle clue can't escape his eyes.

"What is this?" Gu Chen leaned forward slightly, carefully looking at the string of marks on the outside.

The mark is marked as X+396=824, which is an addition formula, Gu Chen quickly calculated that X should be 428, and he couldn't help but be curious.

At this time, Lu Weiwei, after searching the periphery, didn't gain much, so she walked back to Gu Chen's side.

But he saw that Gu Chen had been bent down, staring at the position of the outer box on the right side of the locker for a while.

Out of curiosity, Lu Weiwei also probed and said, "Senior Brother Gu, what are you doing?"

"I'm looking at this formula. Gu Chen said.

"Formula?" Lu Weiwei was stunned for a moment, and swept in front of Gu Chen's gaze, but she looked puzzled: "Anyway, where is the formula." ”

"Here. Gu Chen knocked twice on the outer locker.

Lu Weiwei's eyes suddenly narrowed, and her body bowed even harder.

After a while, Lu Weiwei also said incredulously: "I lost, Senior Brother Gu, you can even find this kind of small formula written in pencil? ”

"Who would leave a formula here?" Gu Chen clasped his hands to his chest, also thinking with a face.

Lu Weiwei smiled lightly and said, "Maybe it's a mark made by the locker installer for assembly, right?"

"Not true. Gu Chen shook his head directly, pointed to the outer formula and said, "Senior Sister Lu, you take a closer look at this formula." ”

"Take a closer look?" Lu Weiwei was inexplicable, but she didn't know what Gu Chen meant, so she bowed down again, looked at the formula on the outside, and casually read out: "X+396=824? Isn't this just an addition formula? X equals ...... Equal to ......"

Lu Weiwei's mental arithmetic was not as good as Gu Chen's, and it took a few seconds before she read out the answer: "X is equal to 428." ”

Seeing that Gu Chen was unmoved, just staring at herself, Lu Weiwei's eyes were stunned, and she thought about it for a few seconds again, as if she suddenly realized.

"Do you mean...... This formula is left by Zhang Qi?"

Gu Chen nodded silently: "It's very likely that this is the case, after all, you think, even if it is the installation master of the locker, the calculation formula written on the temporary basis, but why set up an 'X'? Is it necessary? And this formula doesn't seem to have anything to do with the installation of the locker, right?"

"That's right. Hearing Gu Chen say this, Lu Weiwei felt a little tired more and more.

He chattered in his mouth, so he said: "That X is equal to 428, could it be that you made a mark by yourself, but you don't want to be known by others, so what if it's X?"

"If that's the case, would he have hid the artifact in the locker number 428?"

Thinking about it like this, there didn't seem to be anything wrong with it, Lu Weiwei suddenly looked at Gu Chen and asked, "Senior Brother Gu, what do you think?"

"Quite possibly. Gu Chen nodded silently, and said, "Hurry up and call that Zhang Wei over, this guy is a habitual thief, pry open a locker key, I think it should be fine." ”

"Yes, just look for him. Lu Weiwei suddenly felt that this Zhang Wei seemed to have some role at this moment.

So Lu Weiwei asked Gu Chen to wait here first, and she trotted all the way to find Zhang Wei.

It didn't take long for Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong, together with Officer Wang, Yuan Shasha, Lu Weiwei and the pavilion administrator, to bring Zhang Wei to Gu Chen.

"Senior Brother Gu, the people have already been brought. Lu Weiwei pushed Zhang Wei forward.

Zhang Wei was also stunned at the moment, not knowing what was wrong with him, and looked at Gu Chen with a puzzled expression.

Gu Chen took out the key, opened the rose gold handcuffs that were wrapped in Zhang Wei's injury, pointed to locker No. 428 and said, "Can you open this cabinet?"

"What do you mean...... Don't need a key?" Zhang Wei also seemed to understand what Gu Chen meant.

But before Gu Chen could speak, Lu Weiwei said angrily: "If we have a key, we will look for you?" is it to let you open it without a key." ”

"Uh......" Zhang Wei began to hesitate when he heard this.

Lu Weiwei felt that this guy was doing bad again, so she reminded: "What about asking you, can you open it?"

"Yes. Zhang Wei raised his head, but said to Gu Chen: "But Officer Gu, you have to find me a wire." ”

Gu Chen glanced at the pavilion administrator beside him and asked him, "Can you find a wire to come over?"

"This ...... Looks like there's a warehouse, or if you're waiting here, I'll look for it right away?" said the administrator.

Gu Chen nodded slightly: "Then it's troublesome for you." ”

The caretaker said "you're welcome" and ran briskly to the end of the aisle.

After about three or four minutes, the administrator took a long wire and returned directly to Gu Chen.

"That's the only one, do you think it's okay?" the administrator handed the wire to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen glanced at Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei immediately nodded: "Make do with it, let's let it go." ”

Taking the wire and splitting the crowd, Zhang Wei began to use the wire to kneel.

Soon, he pressed his ear to the locker and used the twisted wire in his hand to reach into the keyhole and pit upside down.

In less than 20 seconds, I heard a "click" sound of the locker, and the locked locker collapsed directly.

"It's on?" Looking at the divine operation in front of her, Lu Weiwei finally knew why this guy was in prison.

With this kind of technology, lockpicking is the same as playing at home, and anyone will have some strange ideas.

Before Zhang Wei could scream in front of him, Gu Chen directly pushed him away, then opened the locker and looked down.

At this moment, a delicate porcelain pot is placed in it.

Gu Chen hurriedly put on white gloves, gently took the porcelain pot out of the locker, and lit it up in front of everyone.

"This ......" the caretaker paused for a moment, a little incredulous, "is this the lost artifact?"

"Xiao Yuan, you go, security manager Zou Wenqing came over. Gu Chen also thought clearly, whether this was a lost cultural relic.

Yuan Shasha immediately agreed, and then left quickly.

It didn't take long for Zou Wenqing to trot all the way under the leadership of Yuan Shasha.

"The cultural relics have been found?" Zou Wenqing asked Gu Chen excitedly.

Gu Chen casually showed the porcelain pot in his hand in front of him: "Is this it?"

"Yes, this porcelain pot is indeed one of the 10 artifacts that were lost. Seeing the lost artifacts recovered, the manager was thrilled at the moment.

So he asked Gu Chen again: "What about the other cultural relics, and where are the other lost cultural relics?"

Seeing that Gu Chen suddenly didn't speak, the No. 428 locker behind Gu Chen was open.

So Zou Wenqing bowed down directly and searched the locker for a while.

But the lockers were empty, and there was nothing.

Zou Wenqing was a little puzzled: "Could it be that this cultural relic was found by Officer Gu from the locker?"

"That's right. Gu Chen nodded in acknowledgement.

"Shouldn't it?" Zou Wenqing suddenly had a big head, and hurriedly said: "But why is there only this one porcelain pot? Where are the other 9 cultural relics?"

"Maybe they're still hiding in these lockers, right?" Lu Weiwei guessed.

Hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Zou Wenqing suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly pleaded: "Officer Gu, since you can find a cultural relic, then please help me find the other cultural relics, after all, it is 10 cultural relics that are missing, and it is not good to lack 9 cultural relics." ”

"Whether you can find it depends on how to pick the lock. Officer Wang also spoke for Gu Chen: "You must know that we also cracked the calculation formula left by the thieves on the locker to calculate the number '428'." ”

That's why I let this Zhang Wei use the means of three religions and nine streams to pry open the lock of the locker, if you want to find other items, you have to rely on Zhang Wei. ”

"Don't, go somewhere else. Hearing that Officer Wang wanted to make himself a tool, Zhang Wei refused on the spot: "If you let me pry one or two lockers, I can barely agree, after all, the locker I pried just now is not very difficult." ”

Glancing at the dense honeycomb lockers in front of him, Zhang Wei suddenly exclaimed: "But there are more than 800 here, and you asked me to pry more than 800, so you might as well let me die." ”

"Poof. Hearing Zhang Wei's words, Lu Weiwei couldn't help laughing.

Also, although this guy is usually a habitual thief, it is estimated that he has done a lot of lock-picking things.

It is difficult and unrealistic for him to pry open more than 800 lockers at a time.

After thinking about it like this, I found that this Zhang Qi was extremely cunning, and he only put a cultural relic in a locker.

Lu Weiwei wanted to swear on the spot, but she didn't do that, but directly discussed with Gu Chen: "Senior Brother Gu, you said that this Zhang Qi is really cunning, a formula only leaves a locker number answer for herself." ”

"The other 9 cultural relics must also be hidden in these more than 800 lockers, and it is really difficult to find out. ”

"There must still be a pattern. Gu Chen thought for a moment, and still felt that there was something wrong.
