More than half an hour later, Xue Chen helped Lin Xirong walk out of the storage room. A large number of police officers had also rushed to the scene, as well as ambulances.
Passing by the sealed competition venue, Xue Chen took a look at the exhibition area and saw that Booth No. 18 was indeed empty, and couldn't help but sigh again.
After Lin Xirong was sent to the ambulance, Xue Chen found Shen Wanjun in the chaotic square in front of the hotel.
Shen Wanjun also looked quite embarrassed. The suit on his body was all covered in dust and there was a bruise on his face. When he saw Xue Chen, he patted Xue Chen on the shoulder and said it was okay.
Xue Chen grinned: "I'm fine, but my Jade Guanyin was taken away."
Shen Wanjun comforted him: "As long as everything is fine, you can make more money."
The two settled down in a nearby hotel, and Xue Chen then went to the hospital to visit Lin Xirong.
Lin Xirong was lying on the bed, wearing a new pair of glasses, but her face was still very pale. There was a person standing next to the bed, and it was Qin Lan, the marketing director of Tianyun Company.
"Xue Chen, I heard Xi Rong say that you saved her. Thank you. Thank you very much." Qin Lan said with great gratitude.
"This is what I should do." Xue Chen said and walked to the bed.
"You may not know that more than 60 people were injured and hospitalized today. They were all injured in the chaos. The most serious ones have been admitted to the ICU. If it weren't for you, Xi Rong's consequences would be unimaginable." Qin Lan's eyes were filled with circles. She was slightly red and held Lin Xirong's hand tightly.
Lin Xirong looked at Xue Chen and recalled that when she was the most helpless and critical moment, it was Xue Chen who stretched out his hands to save her and saved her from disaster, and all kinds of feelings filled her heart.
Xue Chen comforted Lin Xirong and asked casually about the investigation of the case.
Qin Lan sighed: "I have a friend at the Yang'an City Public Security Bureau. He told me that a total of thirteen jade works were robbed, and the top three most valuable ones were all not spared. The amount involved may be as high as 30 million. "
Xue Chen felt his teeth hurt a little after hearing this: "Where is the person? Have you caught him?"
"There is no result yet. The robbers ran away after committing the crime. Although there is surveillance, there are too many people entering and leaving the venue, and their identities are very complicated. They come from all over the country. It will take a long time to investigate each one. ." Qin Lan said helplessly.
"So, it's possible that the things can't be recovered?" Xue Chen said depressedly.
"The possibility is very small. The most important thing is that the entire venue was shrouded in smoke at that time. Everyone was just trying to escape for their lives. No one knew who committed the crime. Not only his appearance, but also his physical features were missing." Qin Lanyao He shook his head.
Xue Chen suddenly became energetic and said to himself: "Nima, I don't remember the other person, but the little man who took away my Jade Guanyin, even if he is bruised and ashes, I can still recognize him!"
The venue of the Jade Design Competition has been completely blocked. Many police officers are investigating the messy scene. In a conference room next door on the same floor, Zhang Jingxian, the captain of the Criminal Police Brigade of the Anyang City Public Security Bureau, who is responsible for investigating this case, is sitting. There are also Ning Jiede, Vice President of Ning Group and Xu Ming, Director of Galaxy Industry.
The atmosphere in the entire conference room was very solemn.
"Captain Zhang, are there any clues to the case?" Ning Jade asked, frowning.
This time the jade design competition was organized by Ning Group and Galaxy Industrial. Unexpectedly, such a big thing happened. Thirteen pieces of jade art were robbed, with a value of 30 million. This made both groups... Very headache.
Zhang Jingxian's temples were slightly white, he put out the cigarette butt in his hand, and said with a serious expression: "There are very few clues, as you have seen, the scene was very badly damaged, and the person who committed the crime was very quick and experienced, and would not leave any obvious traces."
For clues, now we can only rely on the hotel’s surveillance.”
Having said this, he turned to a policeman behind him and asked: "How long will it take to check everyone who is entering and exiting the venue under the surveillance as quickly as possible?"
"Captain, I've seen the surveillance. There are too many people entering and leaving the venue, and a considerable number of people come from other provinces to watch the competition. Therefore, the investigation is very difficult. Even if you work overtime, it will take at least five days.
"
"Five days? People can go abroad!" Xu Ming knocked on the conference table hard. His father specially gave this competition to him in order to train his abilities, but now it is completely smashed.
"Mr. Xu, there is no other way. According to the situation at the time, no one noticed who threw the smoke bomb, and the perpetrator was also very cunning. After committing the crime, he squeezed into the crowd and escaped from the hotel. There were no witnesses.
People..." Zhang Jingxian said.
"It's impossible not to have one. There must be witnesses. We can offer a reward. If you can provide clues to help quickly detect the case, you can reward one million!" Xu Ming said loudly.
"I agree." Ningjiede said.
One million is a lot of money, but compared with this case involving 30 million, it is necessary to pay. The case must be solved as soon as possible to reduce the negative impact on the two groups.
At this time, the door was pushed open, and a young policeman hurriedly walked in: "Captain Zhang, some people said that he saw the face of the perpetrator!"
Zhang Jingxian stood up abruptly: "Really? Where is he?"
Xue Chen came to report the crime. Even if his losses were compensated by the organizer, when he thought of so many people being injured, he must not let these grandchildren escape.
Xue Chen was invited into the conference room. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Ning Xuanxuan's third uncle Ning Jade and Xu Ming.
"Xue Chen, why is it you?" Xu Ming immediately stood up and asked when he saw Xue Chen pushing the door open and walking in.
"Why can't it be me? The jade that came third in the competition is mine. If I can't get it back, as the organizer of the competition, do you have to compensate me for the loss?" Xue Chen asked unhappily.
Xu Ming was choked immediately and didn't know what to say.
"I remember you. You are Xiaoxuan's friend and you attended the old man's birthday party." Ning Jade also recognized Xue Chen.
"Hello, Uncle Ning." Xue Chen nodded politely.
At this time, Zhang Jingxian said: "Since you know each other, that's great. Your name is Xue Chen, right? Please tell me what you know."
After Xue Chen sat down, he thought for a moment and said, "I saw the face of one of the robbers clearly..."
"Huh? How did you see the smoke clearly at that time?" Zhang Jingxian asked.
Xue Chen had already thought about how to answer this question.
"The man was sitting not far from me. I happened to see him secretly throw a smoke bomb, so I looked at him a few more times."
Zhang Jingxian nodded and quickly called a policeman who was proficient in sketching to draw a portrait based on Xue Chen's description.
"Well, this nose is a bit flatter, and there is a very small mole here on the mouth, and a beard..."
Under Xue Chen's detailed description, a three-dimensional head portrait appeared on the page. In addition, there were also approximate records of height, clothing, and age.
Several key members of the criminal police team were watching. When the sketch was about to be completed, a person suddenly slammed the table and shouted: "I know this person! This is so similar, they are exactly the same."
Zhang Jingxian was surprised: "Who is it?"
"This man's name is Miao Wenlong. He was imprisoned for intentional injury five years ago. I also participated in the arrest. Calculating, he should have been released from prison six months ago." The policeman said quickly.
"Are you sure it's this person?" Zhang Jingxian asked excitedly.
Ning Jede and Xu Ming couldn't help but get excited when they saw that there were clues and had identified the suspect.
"It's so similar. It's exactly the same. There's no mistake."
Zhang Jingxian didn't expect to lock the suspect so quickly. This was simply unbelievable. He looked at Xue Chen in confusion: "Mr.
Remember so clearly?"
Xue Chen chuckled: "To be honest with Captain Zhang, I am an antique appraiser at a pawn shop. The most important thing in this profession is eyesight. Although I dare not say that I have an eye for everything, my observation skills are still good."
Xue Chen took out his business card and handed it to Zhang Jingxian with both hands.
Zhang Jingxian nodded thoughtfully and took Xue Chen's business card.
"By the way, when I was at the door just now, I heard that there would be a reward of one million for providing clues? When will the transfer be made? You won't be lying." Xue Chen turned to look at Xu Ming.
Xu Ming suddenly hesitated again and said bitterly: "I will transfer it to you when the suspect is caught and the case is solved."
"Well, that's good. Galaxy industrialists have great achievements and I don't think they will deny it." Xue Chen nodded with satisfaction.
With the clues provided by Xue Chen, the police quickly mobilized and captured the unsuspecting Miao Wenlong. Following the clues, the remaining three suspects were also arrested one by one. This major case that shocked the entire Yunzhou Province miraculously
was detected on the third day after the incident.
It is said that when Miao Wenlong was arrested, he seemed to be demented and kept mumbling "why". He scratched his head and couldn't figure out why the police targeted him so quickly.
…
In order to demonstrate the bravery of the Yang'an City Police, a stolen goods recovery meeting was held.
Xue Chen and Qin Lan went to the Public Security Bureau of Yang'an City to pick up the recovered jadeite Guanyin statue.
Zhang Jingxian presided over the stolen goods recovery meeting. Compared with the last time I saw it, the captain of the criminal police team was more glorious and energetic. He personally returned the stolen goods one by one to the representatives of each jewelry company.
When it was Xue Chen's turn, Zhang Jingxian held Xue Chen's hand and nodded: "Thank you very much."
Xue Chen carefully put the jadeite Guanyin statue into his suitcase and walked out of the Public Security Bureau with Qin Lan.
"Finally, there is no danger." Qin Lan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes." Xue Chen's heart finally fell to the ground.
"Xue Chen, you should say it was a blessing in disguise. Not only did you have no losses, I also heard that because you provided important clues to solve the case, you also received a bonus of one million from Ning Group and Galaxy Industry?" Qin Lan's eyes turned.
, looked at Xue Chen.
Xue Chen chuckled and said nothing. (To be continued)
