"Mr. He, are these chairs the antiques sold by the unknown woman and the jade pendant?"
Song Peici said in surprise.
He Qing nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, that's the pair of antique chairs we are looking for. What a coincidence. If I hadn't happened to ask Shopkeeper Zhu about it, it happened that Master Lu had kept this thing well.
The clues may have been lost and there is no way to investigate. Now that we have found the pair of chairs, things will be much easier to handle!"
"Mr. He, this is all your fault. You asked me." Song Peici smiled happily.
She admired He Qing more and more, feeling that this matter had already been under his control and that he had everything at his fingertips.
Zhang Shijie, who followed them, questioned: "But we only found two antique chairs. This doesn't seem to be of much help, right? The situation is the same as that of the jade pendant. Even if some suspicious fingerprints can be found on it,
That’s like finding a needle in a haystack, and it’s almost useless.”
"Are you stupid?" He Qing turned to look at Zhang Shijie and said in a calm tone, "Isn't there any other way besides searching for fingerprints?"
"You...what did you say?!"
Hearing He Qing bluntly saying that he was stupid, Zhang Shijie's eyes widened and he said angrily.
Song Peici was also stunned by He Qing's words, "You're stupid." Zhang Shijie was a well-known criminal investigator in their police force, and he was relatively smart and experienced in solving crimes. He didn't expect to be despised by a layman. This made him
How could he stand it when he was so arrogant?
But Song Peici could tell that He Qing's words were said casually, and he probably didn't mean any disrespect, just a bit of a joke.
Faced with Zhang Shijie, who was blushing and thick-necked and glaring at him angrily, He Qing was not angry. Of course, he did not explain anything. He just said seriously: "This pair of chairs is very important for us to solve the case. We can do it without checking fingerprints."
To identify its owner."
"How to be sure?" Zhang Shijie sneered, "How is this possible? It doesn't say whose house the thing belongs to. It's been decades. Just asking around would be like finding a needle in a haystack. Besides, there are more than just such a couple in the world.
There are many other chairs like this, right?"
He Qing chuckled and said, "I really wrote the name of the head of the household."
"What?!"
As soon as these words came out, not only Zhang Shijie was shocked, but Song Peici also opened her eyes wide and stared at He Qing with an expression of disbelief.
If it is true as he said, then this is a very important clue that can directly lead to the mysterious woman who came into contact with Acheng back then.
"Mr. He, where is the owner's name written on the chair?" Song Peici asked hurriedly.
He Qing said calmly: "Officer Song, don't worry yet. Listen to me. Ancient people, like us modern people, also need furniture to live at home, but the high-quality furniture that has been passed down to the present and is well preserved is
Not many. The pair of rosewood chairs we see now are very rare. Looking at the entire collection world, there are only a handful of collections that have such a beautiful pair of rose chairs? At least I have only seen this one.
Yes, so Officer Zhang said just now that there are many chairs like this, that is an incorrect view."
"Brother He is right. Pairs of rose chairs are rare. Although this pair is not made of rosewood, it is rare and worth collecting." Master Lu stood aside and spoke.
Hearing what they said, Zhang Shijie couldn't help but blush, and looked quite embarrassed. He just questioned He Qing's words, which to others would undoubtedly mean that Lu Ban was overestimating his own abilities.
"Mr. He, you are an expert, and we are laymen, so we are not very clear." Song Peici said, "Didn't you just say that the name of its owner is written on these chairs? Where is it written?"
She couldn't wait to know the answer, so as to solve the problem that their public security bureau might not be able to solve even by checking fingerprints.
He Qing said: "It's right here."
As he spoke, he knelt down and took a detailed look at the two chairs.
"found it!"
Suddenly, I heard him scream and say: "It's right here!"
She followed the direction of his finger and looked closely, and sure enough, she saw a set of small words engraved on a certain part of the back of the chair. Song Peici bent down and took a closer look to see clearly that there were three words in total, saying "Li Minde".
"There really is someone's name!" Song Peici said in surprise, "This Li Minde should be the owner of these chairs."
He Qing shook his head and said: "No, to be precise, he is only the owner of this chair, and the other one belongs to someone else."
"Oh?" Song Peici was surprised. Then under He Qing's instruction, she saw the name left on another rose chair. The second name almost appeared in the same place.
I saw that the name read "Li Mindao". There was only one word difference between the two, so they were obviously the names of the two brothers.
"This pair of chairs turned out to belong to a pair of brothers!" After understanding clearly, Song Peici suddenly realized.
He Qing nodded and said: "Yes, they belong to the two brothers. If my guess is correct, this pair of exquisite rose chairs were handed down from the ancestors of the Li family. Later, the family was divided. Each of the two brothers was assigned one. Later, they were not
We know why they got together. Of course, this is not what we want to figure out. Our top priority now is to find the Li family and finally find out the woman who sold the pair of chairs."
"Li Minde, Li Mindao, I'm afraid there are a lot of people with these two names, but since they are two brothers, it will be easier to check." Song Peici murmured to himself.
He Qing said with a smile: "This is up to you. If you go to the police who manage the household registration and check it, it will be clear to you. Acheng was lost in the capital. You can give priority to the two names within the capital.
"
"Well, that's no problem, it should be easy!" Song Peici said happily.
"Old Zhang, call the bureau quickly and ask them to check the Li family and find these two people as soon as possible!" After that, Song Peici turned around and ordered Zhang Shijie.
However, at this moment, Zhang Shijie was completely stunned. He stared at He Qing intently, as if he were looking at a monster.
"Oh my God, it's that simple?! We have been investigating the case for more than ten years without success, and he suddenly found the most important clue?!" He was secretly surprised, and felt that this thing was extremely shocking and shocking.
incredible.
No matter how stupid he was, he would have thought of it. Now He Qing would soon find the woman who had contact with Acheng back then, and as soon as the woman's identity surfaced, it would be equivalent to solving the case.
Fang Dechao is the richest man in the capital and has a high reputation among collectors and entrepreneurs. The bureau takes his case very seriously. Otherwise, they would not have been helping Fang Dechao investigate the whereabouts of his son. Although there is no news, the matter is basically hopeless.
, but even if they make a show, they still have to persevere and give hope to Fang Dechao.
Once this case is solved, their police department will really become famous overnight.
"Old Zhang, what are you doing? Go do something quickly!" Song Peici urged impatiently.
"Oh, I know!" Zhang Shijie finally came to his senses and nodded in agreement. His voice was trembling slightly, and he looked very excited.
"Master Lu, since this pair of chairs is very important for us to solve the case and find Mr. Fang's son, we have to borrow it for the time being. But don't worry, if we requisition it, we will compensate you double the price according to the current market price.
"Yes." After Zhang Shijie went to check the address of the Li family, He Qing said to Master Lu solemnly.
Although the pair of mahogany rose chairs in front of him are quite marketable now, they are only worth a few hundred thousand at most. Compensating him with one million yuan will be the limit. And Fang Dechao has a fortune of hundreds of millions, and a mere one million yuan is not a problem at all.
"Brother He, you are too polite, just take it and use it!" Master Lu nodded without hesitation and agreed, "Can I still not trust you? Oh, by the way, Brother He, since you are here, then I am just right
I want to ask you to see a few things. Last time, due to inconvenience, I couldn’t bring too many to you for appraisal.”
He Qing agreed without hesitation: "Okay, that's not a problem."
So he followed Master Lu to his collection room and helped him appraise the antiques that were yet to be identified.
He Qing could use his powers to easily date those things, and those few things were relatively common antiques, so he didn't encounter any problems.
After receiving He Qing's approval, Master Lu was surprised and happy, and felt very satisfied.
"Xiao Song, we found it!"
After He Qing and the others walked out of Master Lu's collection room, Zhang Shijie suddenly rushed over and shouted: "In the whole capital, there is only one family with that name for the brothers!"
"That's great, we can go find them right away!" Song Peici said in surprise.
He Qing also said happily: "Good news, let's take this pair of chairs and set off immediately."
Then they said goodbye to Master Lu, took the pair of rose chairs and took the car driven by Song Peici and others and rushed straight to the house they found.
"Mr. He, do you think it's possible that Mr. Fang's Acheng is in the Li family?"
In the car, Song Peici asked curiously.
He Qing replied: "I also hope that he is here, so that we don't have to continue the investigation, but the situation is hard to say. If the woman is a personal trafficker, then Acheng must not be in their home anymore. I am afraid that she sold the capital, so
First, we have to continue the investigation, but as long as we find the woman selling the things, we can ask him about Acheng's whereabouts."
"What if the woman dies?" Zhang Shijie interrupted and asked.
He Qing glanced at him and smiled meaningfully: "If we find her temple, then even if she is a ghost, we can still do something about it."
"Oh, yes!" Zhang Shijie nodded vigorously. He had nothing more to ask. He just felt that He Qing kept it secret and just listened to him.
The Li family is located in the suburbs, so it took He Qing and the others almost three hours to get to their destination.
They came to an old street surrounded by many old houses.
According to the specific address given by the household registration police, He Qing and the others finally found a dilapidated courtyard house.
The courtyard door opened, and He Qing led Lin Haitao and the others in. In the courtyard, several people were sitting there chatting. One of them, a relatively young man in his thirties, was squatting outside the crowd. He was dejected and suffered a huge blow.
The same setbacks.
He Qing glanced at the young man and instantly frowned, as if he had thought of something.
"You...who are you looking for?!"
Seeing He Qing and his entourage swaggering in, a middle-aged woman who was talking in the yard was surprised.
Soon they all noticed He Qing and the others and looked over attentively. The depressed man also subconsciously raised his head and looked around.
Only then did He Qing see his appearance clearly, and saw that his skin was dark and his face was very rough. At first glance, he could tell that he was the kind of person who had never read much and had been doing hard labor.
Although the man's clothes were ordinary and his appearance was not handsome, he had thick eyebrows and bright eyes.
From between his brows, He Qing could vaguely tell that this man was very similar to Fang Dechao. Who else could it be if he wasn't his long-lost son?
When he recognized Acheng, He Qing couldn't help but feel shocked and extremely pleasantly surprised.
It's true that you can't find anything without wearing iron shoes, and it doesn't take any effort to get it.
But he never imagined that the eldest son of the Fang family, who was supposed to enjoy the glory and wealth, was now living in an ordinary family and was still in such a miserable condition.
But all this will soon pass, and what awaits him is the reunion of father and son, and the wealth of a billionaire.
