Officer Wang would never have thought that the target person he was tracking, Liao Zhongkai, would die in the van, and the circumstances of his death were exactly the same as Luo Wei's.
Lu Weiwei turned to look at the fishmonger, grabbed the fishmonger and said: "What on earth is going on? How did Liao Zhongkai die here?"
"I...I don't know either? How do I know that this person will die in the carriage?"
The fishmonger was also panicking at this moment. He looked at Liao Zhongkai's body, his face turned blue, and he didn't know how to formulate his words for a moment.
Gu Chen also said seriously: "You arranged this hiding place for Liao Zhongkai, right?"
Although the fishmonger had already explained it before, Gu Chen needed to confirm it again at this moment.
The fishmonger was so panicked that he could only nod his head again and admit: "Yes, I provided the location."
"Last night, Liao Zhongkai hurried to my store and asked me for help, asking me to find him a hiding place."
"I asked him what was going on, but he didn't tell me. I guessed that he was being chased by his creditors in the casino, so he had no place to hide and came to me for help."
"After all, this is not the first time this guy Liao Zhongkai has done this. How do I know what the situation is?"
"But we came to ask you, and you told us Liao Zhongkai's hiding place as soon as you opened your mouth." Lu Weiwei felt that something was not right about the fishmonger at first, so she became suspicious.
I wonder if this fishmonger is using a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain?
Even if not, there must be some conspiracy.
But now it seems that something has indeed happened, and the situation is quite bad.
The suspect Liao Zhongkai who was being pursued, with various skills of flying into the sky and escaping from the ground, unexpectedly died in a van.
This made Lu Weiwei feel that this fishmonger seemed a little uneasy.
When the fishmonger heard this, he became anxious and quickly clarified for himself:
"Comrade police, you are unjust. If you come here and ask me about Liao Zhongkai, I will definitely explain it to you."
"After all, being able to alert you policemen means that this Liao Zhongkai will definitely cause big trouble, and you will find him sooner or later."
"Instead of doing this, I might as well confess and tell you where Liao Zhongkai is hiding."
"Are you really so kind?" After understanding the conversation between the fishmonger, Lu Weiwei and Gu Chen, Officer Wang also expressed doubts.
But the fishmonger argued with reason: "Of course I mean well. If it were the creditors who were collecting debts, I might not tell them, but you are the police."
"Cooperating with your work is the obligation of every citizen. I still have this awareness..."
The various explanations given by the fishmongers seem a bit unclear now.
After all, he was the one who hid Liao Zhongkai in the truck compartment, and he was the one who took the initiative to lead the police to find Liao Zhongkai.
But now Liao Zhongkai died mysteriously, and he can't even explain it now.
Gu Chen is also in a dilemma now.
After all, from yesterday to now, forensic doctor Liu and Gao Chuanfeng have still not given any results.
According to the usual speed, I would have called early.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen also looked confused.
So she quickly informed Lu Weiwei: "Senior Sister Lu, please call Gao Chuanfeng and ask him to come and take the body back."
"Understood, I'll make a call right now." Lu Weiwei got the prompt and immediately took out her mobile phone, preparing to call Gao Chuanfeng.
On the other side, Yuan Shasha also looked confused after checking the body repeatedly.
After all, the deceased escaped last night and died in the carriage today. This does seem strange.
Moreover, according to Gu Chen's investigation just now, Liao Zhongkai died of poisoning, which Yuan Shasha could also see.
Everyone originally held out hope that Liao Zhongkai could be arrested and the cause of Luo Wei's death could be determined.
But now, even Liao Zhongkai is dead, and all the clues have been interrupted again.
"Whether what you say is true or false, you'd better come back with us to investigate." Seeing that everyone was thinking, Officer Wang also reminded the fishmonger.
The fishmonger now looked annoyed, but he could only nod and cooperate.
After all, all of this seems to have something to do with himself.
Time passed by, and while Yuan Shasha continued to investigate the specific information about the fishmonger, Gao Chuanfeng drove up with someone and parked the car directly in front of Gu Chen.
After getting off the car, Gao Chuanfeng went straight to Gu Chen and asked, "Where is the person?"
"In the carriage." Gu Chen pointed in the direction of the carriage.
Gao Chuanfeng glanced at the two assistants behind him and reminded, "Go over and check the body."
"Yes, Senior Brother Gao." The two assistants responded in unison, then put on their equipment and walked into the carriage.
However, Gao Chuanfeng was taken aside by Gu Chen and asked: "What are you doing? Why haven't you given me Luo Wei's autopsy report yesterday?"
I feel like this took too long.
But Gao Chuanfeng said with a bitter face: "You can't blame me. We can confirm that the body was indeed poisoned, but..."
Halfway through the words, Gao Chuanfeng stopped talking.
Gu Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, "But what?"
"But...the toxin has not been found yet, and my master, Forensic Doctor Liu, is still investigating."
"The toxin hasn't been found yet?" Hearing this explanation, Gu Chen couldn't help but be stunned.
You know, even forensic doctor Liu has encountered trouble, which shows that this toxin seems to be very unusual.
Looking up at the forensic doctor Gao Chuanfeng, Gu Chen asked again: "Why can't that thing be found?"
"It's not that I can't find it, it's that I've never seen anything like this before, not even my master. From his tone, I feel that this toxin should come from some kind of high-end laboratory."
"Is there such a thing?" Listening to Gao Chuanfeng's various explanations, Gu Chen also felt that things seemed to be getting more and more interesting.
The two forensic assistants over there had already checked the specific characteristics of the corpse, and then they poked their heads out from the other side of the carriage and asked, "Senior Brother Gao, do you want to take it away?"
"Wait a minute." Gao Chuanfeng stopped the forensic assistant's movements, turned to Gu Chen and said, "You should have tested the corpse, right?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "That's right." Gu Chen nodded silently.
"Then did you find anything?" Gao Chuanfeng asked again.
Gu Chen affirmed: "The poison that the deceased Liao Kaiwen was poisoned should be the same as the poison that Luo Wei was poisoned yesterday."
"Same toxin?" I feel like something is strange.
But now, Gao Chuanfeng can't tell clearly.
After all, looking at Gu Chen's expression, he seemed to be encountering a problem.
In addition, his master, Forensic Liu, was also stumped by this unseen toxin at this time, and he still can't come to a conclusion.
Gao Chuanfeng knew the seriousness of the matter very well.
"Why don't you take the body back to the city bureau's technical department first and use the equipment to test it?" Gao Chuanfeng asked for instructions.
"Okay." Gu Chen also had this intention.
Later, Gao Chuanfeng arranged for two forensic assistants to take out the body bag from the car and put the deceased Liao Zhongkai in it.
Yuan Shasha on the other end had also finished recording the fishmonger and came over to ask Gu Chen for instructions:
"Senior Brother Gu, the basic information about the fishmonger is here."
"Very good." Gu Chen nodded slightly, and then said: "First tell him not to leave Jiangnan City during this period, and the phone will be on 24 hours a day."
"Once you receive a call from our police, you must immediately rush to the Criminal Investigation Team of Furong Branch to cooperate with the investigation."
"I understand." Yuan Shasha understood what Gu Chen meant and immediately went over to convey it.
Gu Chen asked to follow Gao Chuanfeng and return to the Technical Section of the Municipal Bureau.
…
…
In the Technical Section of the Municipal Bureau, Forensic Doctor Liu is still using sophisticated equipment to conduct verification and analysis of toxins.
I heard the electric sliding door outside automatically pop open, and Gao Chuanfeng led Gu Chen and others in, wearing protective equipment.
Two forensic assistants also placed Liao Zhongkai's body on the platform.
Forensic Doctor Liu raised his head and glanced at the corpse, then moved his gaze to Gu Chen.
"Gu Chen, are you here?"
"Forensic Doctor Liu, I can't wait for your results, so I came here to see for myself." Gu Chen also walked up to Forensic Doctor Liu and said politely.
Forensic Doctor Liu was a little helpless, but he told the truth: "I have been testing the body you sent yesterday after a whole night, and I have been busy until today, but there is still not much progress."
"You can't figure out the toxin, right?" Gu Chen asked.
After all, Gao Chuanfeng had already told the truth before coming here.
Forensic Doctor Liu was not shy about it. After all, Gu Chen was considered one of his own, so he spoke openly and said, "To tell you the truth, the toxin in Luo Wei's body is extraordinary."
"According to my analysis, it may come from some high-level laboratories. After all, it is difficult for ordinary people to obtain it."
"But what exactly is it? I'm not sure yet. I feel like I've never seen it before."
"So that's it?" Although Gu Chen also heard something from Gao Chuanfeng, forensic doctor Liu told him personally, so he could only express his understanding.
Forensic doctor Liu glanced at the deceased Liao Zhongkai on the testing platform and asked Gu Chen: "Is this body the same?"
"Yes." Gu Chen walked directly to the side of the body, turned to Forensic Doctor Liu and said, "Forensic Doctor Liu, the deceased's name is Liao Zhongkai. After I conducted a preliminary investigation on his death characteristics."
"I found that he was in the same condition as yesterday's deceased Luo Wei. They both died of poisoning. The symptoms may be the same."
"Let me take a look." After hearing Gu Chen's words, forensic doctor Liu walked directly to the deceased Liao Zhongkai and began to examine Liao Zhongkai.
Since he had already examined the condition of the deceased Luo Wei in the examination room before, Forensic Doctor Liu discovered the problem after just one glance.
"Yes, the circumstances of death of the two men are almost the same. Luo Wei had reddish-brown spots on his back, obviously he was injured by a poisonous needle."
"But I still don't know what's going on with Liao Zhongkai."
"His wound is on his left wrist." Gu Chen reminded.
Forensic doctor Liu frowned, walked directly to Liao Zhongkai, and turned on the surgical light above the examination table.
Suddenly, the detection platform was filled with light, and any small part could be seen clearly at this time.
"Gao Chuanfeng." Forensic Doctor Liu reminded.
Gao Chuanfeng understood the idea and immediately held a pair of scissors in his back and handed it directly to Forensic Doctor Liu beside him.
After taking off Liao Zhongkai's coat, forensic doctor Liu directly used scissors to cut open Liao Zhongkai's underwear.
At this moment, a reddish-brown needle appeared directly on the left wrist.
This was discovered by Gu Chen after a preliminary inspection.
At this moment, Forensic Doctor Liu did not stop and continued to cut open Liao Zhongkai's pants with the scissors in his hand, and covered Liao Zhongkai's private parts with a handkerchief.
Then a comprehensive inspection of Liao Zhongkai’s other parts began.
But after going around, as Gu Chen said, only the needle hole was found on the left wrist.
In other parts, there were only scratches from some branches.
Gu Chen also reminded: "When I found the body, I immediately looked for wounds, and I only found a reddish-brown pinpoint mark on his left wrist."
"The color comes from the small droplets of dried blood contained in the needle's path."
"Could it be that he was injected with some kind of prohibited substance?" Lu Weiwei asked from the side.
"Probably not." Before Forensic Liu could speak, Gu Chen replied directly:
"People who inject banned substances usually try to hide the needle marks and avoid parts such as their arms, making the search more difficult."
"Sometimes it's on the inner thighs, between the toes, or even under the tongue."
"The random injection method that is often shown on TV may actually be possible for novices, but people who inject frequently will be very concerned about their needle marks and usually keep them well hidden."
"Because experienced police officers, once they search this group of people, they can easily find needle marks on their obvious parts."
"Gu Chen is right." Officer Wang heard this and nodded in agreement: "Generally, patients with severe symptoms usually have many needle marks on their bodies, and the locations of the needle marks are very hidden."
"As Gu Chen said just now, they will avoid arms and other parts, making the search more difficult."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Sometimes it can be on the inner thigh, between the toes, or even under the tongue. It is possible."
Glancing back at Liao Zhongkai on the testing table, Officer Wang added: "But this Liao Zhongkai is different. He seems to have only this needle mark all over his body. He doesn't look like a drug addict."
"Then could he have been injected by the murderer? Or was it committed by an acquaintance? After all, there seems to be no trace of a fight on his body." Lu Weiwei also discovered the problem.
On the body of the deceased Liao Zhongkai, apart from the reddish-brown needle marks, there were scratches from tree branches.
If faced with the murderer's attack at that time, Liao Zhongkai, who was extremely skilled, would obviously fight back with all his strength.
Scars after a fight are inevitable.
But now there is nothing on Liao Zhongkai, which is very strange.
"There may not be a murderer."
After Gu Chen thought for a few seconds, he expressed his opinion.
"There is no murderer?" Yuan Shasha looked confused and quickly asked Gu Chen: "Brother Gu, why do you think so?"
"The reason is very simple." Gu Chen took a deep breath and said seriously:
"Senior Sister Lu also said just now that except for the reddish-brown needle mark on the body of the deceased Liao Zhongkai, there were no other wounds from the fight."
"This shows that before his death, he did not participate in the fight at all, and there was no murderer."
"Also..."
Halfway through the words, Gu Chen immediately pointed to Liao Zhongkai's left wrist, in the direction of the needle mark, and said as a reminder:
"Look carefully."
After hearing Gu Chen's words, everyone bowed down and stared at the wound in front of them.
Gu Chen continued to remind: "The location of the injection point can actually tell whether it is a self-injection. This is very important."
"If the injection point is located on the back, in the groin, or in an area that is completely out of reach of the deceased, suicide or accidental overdose death can be ruled out."
"And Luo Wei can prove this, because forensic doctor Liu said that Luo Wei's injection needle marks were on his back."
"That's right." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Forensic Doctor Liu nodded and said, "Luo Wei's needle marks are on his back. In this case, I can't inject myself. The only way is for the murderer to do it from behind and take him by surprise."
Looking up at Gu Chen, forensic doctor Liu added: "Gu Chen told me before that Luo Wei might have been attacked from behind on the bus. This can be verified by me."
"Luo Wei was stabbed in the back by the murderer with a poisonous needle, which caused the rapid spread of unknown toxins, leading to death."
Glancing at the deceased Liao Zhongkai on the examination table, forensic doctor Liu added: "But this Liao Zhongkai, his needle mark is on his left wrist, so he can do it by himself."
"So, Master, does this mean that the deceased, Liao Zhongkai, may have injected himself?"
"Of course we can't completely judge." Forensic Doctor Liu said.
Gu Chen quickly explained: "But the condition of the needle marks can be seen."
"The state of the needle marks?"
Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha on the side said in unison, feeling a little weird.
Gu Chen explained straightforwardly: "The deceased Liao Zhongkai's needle wound was on his left wrist and under his arm."
"If it were anyone else, it would be very difficult for anyone else to prick the lower part of Liao Zhongkai's arm with a poisonous needle."
"Even if it is possible, the wound location of the needle mark will have some obvious features."
"Similarly, if you pierce the lower part of your arm, you can also see subtle changes in the state of the needle marks."
"That's right." Forensic doctor Liu agreed with Gu Chen's opinion. He also put on white gloves, raised Liao Zhongkai's left hand, pointed at the wound and reminded: "The wound was obviously inserted from his own angle, and the needle was on his finger.
Front, inject from bottom to top."
"Contacting Liao Zhongkai again, judging from the fact that there were no signs of fighting with others, it is more likely that he injected himself."
"Yes." As soon as Forensic Doctor Liu finished speaking, Gu Chen continued to add:
"Last night, I asked Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong to arrest Liao Zhongkai, but this guy dared to jump directly from the third floor window to a big tree outside the window, and escaped from under their noses in such a simple and crude way."
"Furthermore, considering that Liao Zhongkai has been in jail for intentionally injuring others, he is also a practicing man with some skills."
"If these conditions are met, then after he evaded pursuit by our police last night, apart from some basic scratch marks on branches, he should have had some other external injuries, but there were none."
"Coupled with the issue of the direction of the wound, as forensic doctor Liu said, the injection was done from bottom to top with a needle. The needle marks on the wound can tell everything."
Listening to Gu Chen's explanation, Officer Wang picked up Liao Zhongkai's arm and checked it again before agreeing with Gu Chen's words.
After all, the needle marks do have bevels, and if you look closely, you can find that the bevels of the needle marks do go from bottom to top.
"But we didn't find any poisonous needles around the carriage," Lu Weiwei said.
Gu Chen quickly explained: "Perhaps he discarded the poisonous needle in a secret corner somewhere after injecting it."
"But no matter what, the possibility of Liao Zhongkai committing suicide is still very high, and from the moment I found this guy, he didn't seem to be struggling at all. He was just lying quietly in the car, as if he was slowly waiting for death."
"It's too scary." Yuan Shasha was a little shocked, but she also questioned: "I feel like there is something wrong with that fishmonger."
"He may or may not have a problem." Gu Chen said.
After all, the fishmonger's statement is reasonable. If he was a creditor, he might help Liao Zhongkai hide it.
But if it was the police who concealed Liao Zhongkai's hiding place, once the police discovered that the hiding place was provided by him, he would not be able to take advantage of it.
He used to be a mixed fishmonger, but now he seems to be afraid of his wife.
It can be seen that the prodigal son has turned around and no longer wants to cause trouble outside.
Thinking that the toxin had not yet been found, Gu Chen asked Forensic Doctor Liu:
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "By the way, Forensic Doctor Liu, are you really unclear about this toxin?"
"Yes." Forensic Doctor Liu nodded silently and said helplessly: "At present, this toxin is extremely rare and highly toxic."
"Generally speaking, it may only be accessible in some high-level biological laboratories."
"In a high-level biological laboratory?" When everyone heard this, they looked at each other.
The more I listen, the more confused I feel.
"Let me tell you this." Seeing that everyone was a little confused, Forensic Doctor Liu added: "It is difficult to get access to a testing laboratory of our level, but some pharmaceutical companies have their own high-level testing laboratories.
laboratory."
"And in these laboratories, there may be some special chemicals stored, and this toxin is likely to come from here."
Seeing everyone's nervous faces, Forensic Doctor Liu immediately said: "Of course, this is just my guess."
"If this is really the case, then if you allow such highly poisonous fine needles to prick people continuously, I'm afraid things will become serious."
"Yesterday it was Luo Wei, today it is Liao Zhongkai, who may be named the day after tomorrow? But what do they want to do?"
"Metal plate, Junior Brother Gu." Lu Weiwei suddenly remembered the metal plate and reminded her.
Gu Chen suddenly realized it, and then said: "Yes, there is also the clue of the metal plate."
"Metal plate?" Forensic doctor Gao Chuanfeng expressed confusion and quickly asked Gu Chen: "Gu Chen, what is the situation with that metal plate you are talking about?"
"That's it." Seeing that Forensic Doctor Liu and Gao Chuanfeng both wanted to know, Gu Chen simply told them that Luo Wei had sent several bags of salted fish to himself and Lu Weiwei and placed a metal plate inside the salted fish.
people.
After that, Gu Chen took out the metal plate wrapped in the evidence bag from the tool bag he carried with him:
"Forensic Doctor Liu, that's what it is."
After finishing his words, Gu Chen directly handed over the metal plate.
Forensic Doctor Liu squinted his eyes, held it in his hand and looked around.
Curious Gao Chuanfeng also stretched his neck and came closer.
"Forensic Doctor Liu, can you understand these symbols and totems on the metal plate?" Lu Weiwei also asked him out of curiosity.
Forensic Doctor Liu laughed twice, returned the metal plate to Gu Chen, and said with a smile: "I am just a forensic doctor, not an expert in antique appraisal. You should ask the professionals who deal with antiques."
"Eh?" Hearing what Forensic Doctor Liu said, Gu Chen suddenly remembered that last night, he asked Yuan Shasha to introduce an antique connoisseur through his own connections.
So Gu Chen quickly asked: "By the way, Xiao Yuan, didn't you say that you would take us to find an antique expert today?"
"Yeah, how could I forget this?" Gu Chen didn't say anything, but Yuan Shasha obviously forgot.
Then he quickly reminded me, "That place is at the other end of the Ancient City Pedestrian Street in Jiangnan City. You all know about the Ancient City Pedestrian Street, right?"
"I know, how could I not know?" Police Officer Wang also answered: "The Ancient City Pedestrian Street is actually an old street inside the ancient city wall of Jiangnan City."
"Outside the ancient city wall is the riverside, and inside the city wall are various old antique shops. It is also one of the few old streets that has been completely preserved by the Planning Bureau."
"There's an antique night market over there. It's full of miscellaneous items and has everything."
After a pause, Officer Wang continued: "And in places like this, there are often channels for selling stolen antiques."
"Some stolen antiques will be traded on the black market, and there are antique brokers to help them. It was very rampant in the early years."
"Later, under the leadership of our Director Zhao, we finally eliminated the arrogance of these brokers."
"So since then, the black market transactions of this group of people have not been so arrogant, but there are still some black market transactions behind the scenes."
"That's right." After hearing Officer Wang's words, Yuan Shasha also reminded: "The person my friend introduced to me is an antiques boss, a senior one."
"I heard from my friend that the boss had robbed tombs before and was in prison. After he was released from prison, he started buying and selling antiques. After all, that's where his expertise lies."
"Originally, this antique boss also thought about writing a novel about tomb robbing, but his writing skills were not good, and he was afraid that the writing would be too real and he would have to be caught in the end, so he gave up after thinking about it."
"But this person is well-informed and I believe he will be helpful to us..."
Listening to Yuan Shasha talking about the past of the antique boss, Officer Wang smiled and said: "Can't you tell, this guy has some skills?"
"If his writing skills were good, I guess there would be no need for "Tomb Raider Notes" now. You can ask him about it, what do you think? Gu Chen."
As Officer Wang spoke, he also handed over the decision-making power to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen held his chin up and thought.
Judging from the current situation, two victims have died from this poisonous needle.
Although the deceased, Luo Wei, was certain that he was attacked from behind with a poisonous needle, causing poisoning and death.
But from the perspective of Liao Zhongkai who died in the carriage, his death was more like suicide.
But if it was suicide, then why?
Gu Chen is currently unable to investigate, especially the toxins, which have not been detected by forensic doctor Liu.
Therefore, it is too early to find the source now.
But you can start with metal cards first, and you may gain something.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen quickly said to Forensic Doctor Liu: "Forensic Doctor Liu, then I leave it to you to test these two corpses and the toxin components. We have to confirm this metal plate as soon as possible."
"It doesn't matter, go ahead and leave the matters here to me." Forensic Doctor Liu readily agreed.
After everyone exchanged a few brief greetings, Gu Chen rushed forward. After notifying all the police officers to return to Furong Branch, he took Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha together and drove to the ancient city pedestrian street.
When the vehicle stopped steadily at an old street intersection, the scene in front of us was quite interesting.
On the narrow streets, people come and go.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Since the weather is not bad today, many small vendors directly spread the tarpaulins and began to sell their various gadgets on the tarpaulins.
.
Gu Chen brought everyone here and found that there seemed to be quite a few vendors setting up street stalls like this.
Compared to some of the antique shops at the back, Gu Chen felt that the street stalls selling fakes were all fake.
When Gu Chen was a child, he used to go shopping for treasures in this kind of antique market with an old man in the community.
And this uncle is also a collector and has a lot of research on antiques.
Gu Chen clearly remembered that the old man once reminded him that 80% of the antiques on the stall were fakes.
Nowadays, the counterfeiting process of counterfeit goods has gradually become an industrial process.
There are many factories that specialize in processing and beating fake products so that they look like ancient objects at a glance.
But who would have known that most of these so-called "antiques" were actually born in fake manufacturing factories.
Just like in the domestic antique circle, there is another branch called the Strange Stone Circle.
Some stones of special quality, such as bloodstone, have always been quite expensive.
There are also some stones with strange shapes that can stand out due to their shape, but this does not include those stones that have been artificially dyed and polished in the later period.
Just like some pork belly-shaped stones in the antique market. Although pork is not cheap nowadays, it is so imitation that you cannot eat it.
Especially when Gu Chen thought about this, in this antique street, they can be seen everywhere, and they are all fakes.
Therefore, for people who have the mentality of picking up lost treasures, most of the products they bring home from street stalls are fakes.
Looking at both sides of the road, there were merchants trying to fool young students, but Gu Chen didn't pay attention to them.
Counterfeit goods are counterfeit goods, and there is a market for them. The key depends on the price you can offer the buyer.
After all, it’s all about discernment.
"This is it, Senior Brother Gu." Yuan Shasha led everyone to a crossroads and pointed to an old antique store in front of them.
"Then let's go there quickly." Gu Chen walked directly into the store without saying a word.
As soon as I stepped into the threshold, there was no sign of anyone. I could only hear the "ding-dong" sound of the sensor on the threshold, and soon a mechanical "Welcome" was heard.
Looking at the dazzling array of products in the store, Gu Chen looked up habitually.
Sure enough, on one side of the ceiling, there was a camera pointed at him.
After hearing the "Welcome" signal from the door sensor, a middle-aged man suddenly walked out of the back of the store.
Seeing that the people coming were a group of policemen, the man was stunned for a moment and asked, "Do you guys want to buy something?"
"I was introduced by Brother Zhu. I have something to ask you." Yuan Shasha got straight to the point, as if she had made an appointment.
"Brother Zhu?" The middle-aged man's expression was stunned, but he quickly came to his senses and greeted everyone with a smile:
"So it was Brother Zhu who introduced you here? I know, Brother Zhu told me on the phone that you had something to ask me, right?"
"That's right." Gu Chen walked up to the middle-aged man, took out the metal tag wrapped in a transparent evidence bag, handed it to the middle-aged man and said:
"We don't know what the special meaning of this metal plate is, so we came here to ask you for advice, especially what do the symbols and totems on this metal plate mean?"
"Isn't this just a bad brand?" Feeling that the gadget in his hand was a cheap one, the middle-aged man weighed it in his hand and then reminded everyone:
"Everyone, please don't stand. Sit wherever you like."
"Okay." Everyone nodded and began to look for available seats.
The middle-aged man also raised his hands and lowered his sleeves.
Because the middle-aged man was wearing an antique Tang suit, he looked very professional.
Like a big shot in the antiques circle.
The man didn't say anything anymore, he just picked up the metal plate, looked around, and frowned slightly.
I saw the man holding a metal sign and continued to observe it for two minutes.
Lu Weiwei couldn't sit still and quickly asked: "Sir, can you tell me something?"
"This thing itself is not valuable." The middle-aged man also pondered for a moment and then said: "But the symbols and totems on it are a bit interesting."
"What does that mean?" Officer Wang was also very curious.
After all, this was the deceased Luo Wei, who was mixed with salted fish before his death and handed over to the Criminal Investigation Team of Furong Branch together.
It can be seen that this metal plate is crucial to unraveling the cause of Luo Wei's death.
The middle-aged man hesitated for a few seconds, then raised his head and said: "To tell you the truth, this metal plate is really worthless. It is made of modern technology and is just an ordinary plate."
As he spoke, the man placed the metal plate wrapped in a transparent evidence collection bag again on the table next to him.
"Have you seen the symbols and words you mentioned?" Lu Weiwei asked him.
The man looked up and thought back, thoughtfully: "I have never seen the symbol before, but I think I saw that totem once when I went to the countryside to collect antiques."
"Have you ever seen a similar totem?" Gu Chen's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing what the middle-aged man said.
It feels like this clue seems to have some breakthrough.
The middle-aged man also nodded and said, "It seems to be the same as it was a few years ago. After all, in our industry, you have to be diligent and often go to the countryside to scan for goods."
"Many antiques are hidden in ordinary people's homes, so we actually make a profit from the price difference."
"Sell some interesting antiques to interested people and earn some travel expenses."
After the words fell, the middle-aged man crossed his legs and continued to think about it: "But I have been to most of the villages near here in the early years."
"I have basically collected all the antiques in these villagers' homes, and this totem seems to have been seen in other places."
"Other places?" Yuan Shasha lowered her head in thought and murmured: "Actually, when I saw this totem yesterday, I had some impression, but I just couldn't remember it."
"Have you ever seen this kind of totem?" After hearing what Yuan Shasha said in front of her, the middle-aged man asked her out of curiosity.
Yuan Shasha nodded silently and replied: "This totem feels like a monster in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Anyway, I seemed to have seen it somewhere when I was a child, but I couldn't remember it for a while."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "This kind of totem, logically speaking, should be imitated. Someone used modern technology to cast the totem on a certain object into this kind of totem."
On the metal plate.”
"The metal plate itself has no value, but this totem, on the surface, doesn't have anything special, but it may have its own meaning."
After a pause, the middle-aged man continued: "But for now, I really don't remember where this totem comes from."
"Then can you help me find out through your channels and resources?" Gu Chen also suggested.
The middle-aged man hesitated, but quickly agreed: "Okay, I'll take a photo now and ask a few of my knowledgeable friends to see what they say."
"Thank you." Gu Chen expressed his gratitude.
So the middle-aged man was about to take the metal plate on the table with both hands, but suddenly stopped his hands, raised his head and asked Gu Chen: "Comrade police, can I take out the metal plate?"
"Of course, but to avoid leaving fingerprints on it, you can wear this."
While Gu Chen was talking, he took out a pair of white gloves from his equipment bag and threw them to the middle-aged man in front of him.
"Thank you." The middle-aged man nodded slightly, put on his white gloves, and opened the transparent evidence bag.
Then, he carefully held the metal plate in his hand.
This time, the middle-aged man took out his mobile phone, took pictures of the front and back of the metal plate, and put the metal plate back into the ID bag.
Then edit the text message and send the information.
Then the phone number was dialed.
Not long after, the call was dialed, and the middle-aged man suddenly smiled and exchanged greetings with his friends and chatted about home affairs.
After a few words of greeting, the middle-aged man returned to the topic and reminded: "Lao Hu, you have a lot of research on symbols and totems. I have a small object here. My friend wants to help identify the totems and symbols on the metal plate.
, please help me take a look."
"Where are the photos? I've already sent them. If you know them, please tell me quickly."
After a brief pause for a few seconds, the middle-aged man seemed to be waiting for the other party's reply.
But through his master's level of observation, Gu Chen could still hear some of the responses from the middle-aged man on the other end of the phone.
It probably means that the other end will help as soon as possible.
The middle-aged man did not hang up the phone, but held it in his hand and looked at Gu Chen and the others, also waiting quietly.
In the past two minutes or so, it seemed like the results came from the other end of the phone.
The man quickly asked: "Lao Hu, what do you think? What do the symbols and totems mean?"
"What? I don't understand the symbols, but have I seen the totem? Where have you seen the totem? In the Gaoquling area? Are you sure?"
After a brief pause, the middle-aged man nodded frequently, and then said humbly: "Okay, I'll tell them, thank you, Lao Hu, come to my place for tea when you have time, haha, okay, bye."
After a while of polite greetings, the middle-aged man hung up the phone.
"How is it?" Yuan Shasha quickly asked.
The middle-aged man nodded silently and said thoughtfully: "My friend said that he had seen this totem when he went to the countryside to receive goods, and he didn't know the symbol."
"Where exactly have I seen it? Gaoquling, right?"
Since he just heard the middle-aged man talking to the other party, Gu Chen asked directly.
The middle-aged man sighed, nodded slightly, and said, "Yes, I saw him in Gaoquling, but he can't remember exactly which village he was in."
"It should be in a nearby village, right?" Lu Weiwei also confirmed.
The middle-aged man thought for a few seconds and said seriously: "There are not many villages over there. Maybe you can go and ask."
"By the way, I'm telling you that there are treasures everywhere in the Gaoquling area. These villagers have a lot of background. You will understand after you go there."
