I am a super cop
Chapter 1718 Zu Xun [2 in 1 Chapters]
Chapter 1718 Ancestral Precepts 【Two Chapters in One】
"Run away? Why is this guy running?" Before Gu Chen could speak, Lu Weiwei quit.
He Junchao also said helplessly: "Not long after you left, he drove away from the company."
"And judging from his driving route, he went directly to the mountain behind the Johnson Group, and there is no surveillance over there."
"Could it be to go to work?" Officer Wang made a hypothesis.
But it was quickly overruled by He Junchao: "Is it necessary to go to the mountains to do business? It feels like this guy is in a hurry. From the monitoring on the side of the road, it can be seen that when he hurried to the side of the car, he almost wrestling."
After the voice fell, He Junchao called out the monitoring outside the Jiangsen Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. in the industrial zone.
From the perspective of monitoring, it is possible to directly observe the environment at the gate of the factory area.
The parking space in the factory area is right in front of the building directly in front of the door.
From the screen, everyone can see that not long after Gu Chen and the others drove away, Zhang Jinze walked out of the building in a hurry, and then hurried into the car.
But because the action was too hasty, the moment he got into the car, his right foot was twisted.
These small details are enough to see that this Zhang Jinze seems to want to leave the company immediately.
"Not long after we left, it's a bit strange that he left in a hurry." Gu Chen crossed his arms and thoughtfully.
At this moment, He Junchao immediately quit the monitoring, opened the satellite map of the entire area, and said in front of everyone: "He is walking this way."
"Where does this road lead to?" Lu Weiwei asked.
"Leading to the mountains, this Johnson Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. was originally built on the mountain, and going here is a dead end."
"And this Zhang Jinze has also stayed in the factory area for a long time, he will not be unaware that this is a dead end, so I conclude that he may be going to the back mountain."
"No one else followed?" Gu Chen asked.
He Junchao nodded slightly: "That's for sure, he left the company sneakily by himself, and then drove towards the back mountain."
"However, these places along the way have not yet installed surveillance cameras. I feel that this guy is mysterious. He must be going to the back mountain."
"What are you doing in the back mountain? Are you picking wild fruits? Or... are you going to meet someone?"
"Tessa." As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Yuan Shasha directly guessed.
Everyone was still racking their brains about Tessa's whereabouts before, but now that they think about it, maybe Zhang Jinze already knew where Tessa was.
Gu Chen frowned, quickly took out his cell phone, and dialed Ding Liang's number.
After a while of communication, Gu Chen asked Ding Liang to speed up and keep up with Zhang Jinze's car.
And send Zhang Jinze's license plate number and Zhang Jinze's identity information.
After making arrangements here, Gu Chen returned to the desk.
Lu Weiwei also came over and said, "Junior Brother Gu, don't worry about Zhang Jinze. I feel that this guy will definitely not be able to run away. Even if he wants to run away, Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong will definitely chase him back."
"I'm not worried about Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong." Gu Chen sighed quietly, telling the truth.
Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong's ability to handle affairs, no one knows better than Gu Chen.
Hand over this information to a few people, presumably Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong will be able to handle this matter safely.
But Gu Chen is currently worried about another thing.
Lu Weiwei said in surprise, "Then what are you worried about?"
"Gaoquling, Hejia Village, He Shaoqing." Gu Chen said.
"You mean, the old man with the white beard who sold the ancient Xueqin jade? He is also the descendant of the northern tomb robbers?" Lu Weiwei said.
Everyone mentioned this in the offices of some Johnson Machinery manufacturing companies before.
Therefore, Lu Weiwei concluded that Gu Chen believed that He Shaoqing had something to do with Tessa.
Gu Chen picked up the tea on the table, just about to take a sip, but found that the tea had bottomed out.
Seeing this, Lu Weiwei quickly snatched Gu Chen's water glass, and reminded, "I'll help you fill the water, and you speak out your thoughts."
Seeing that Lu Weiwei had already done the work, Gu Chen also leaned back on the seat and expressed his thoughts:
"That's what I think. He Shaoqing from Hejia Village in Gaoquling may have a close relationship with Tessa."
"First of all, everyone should know that they are all descendants of the northern tomb robbers. The ancestors of He Shaoqing migrated to Hejia Village in Gaoquling, and Tessa followed the ancestors to Nanyang and settled in Southeast Asia."
"But Tessa suddenly came to China from Southeast Asia a few years ago, and stayed here for several years."
"Nominally speaking, it is to travel all over the mountains and rivers here. It seems like a young woman in literature and art is pursuing poetry and distant places."
"But think about it carefully, she must have painstakingly searched for treasure locations all over the years, but what conditions does she need?"
"It's... the symbols and totems on the ancient Xueqin jade?" Lu Weiwei also echoed the idea provided by Gu Chen, and handed the poured tea to Gu Chen by the way.
"Thank you, Senior Sister Lu." After receiving the tea from Lu Weiwei, Gu Chen took a sip, put the glass on the table, and said:
"Senior Sister Lu is right. The conditions she needs are the symbols and totems on the ancient blood jade."
"Although we don't understand this kind of thing, I'm sure Tessa can understand it, and maybe He Shaoqing can understand it too."
"That's right." After hearing Gu Chen's words, Yuan Shasha also suddenly realized: "Brother Gu mentioned this issue when we were on the way back to the branch office."
"From the looks of it, Xu Feng from the car dealership worked tirelessly and made a special trip to Hejia Village in Gaoquling to buy that piece of ancient Xueqin jade."
"This seems to be an errand job, because Tessa and He Shaoqing may have already discussed that Xu Feng will bring the ancient blood jade with symbols and totems to Tessa."
"Then can I think so? He Shaoqing is also looking for these treasures, but both parties are restrained and unable to complete this work independently."
"Therefore, He Shaoqing and Tessa, both descendants of the Northern Tomb Raiders Group, have reached a cooperation agreement. He Shaoqing will hand over the bloody ancient jade at home to Tessa."
"And Tessa started to assemble her next map based on the symbols and totems provided by He Shaoqing."
"aweason."
As soon as Yuan Shasha finished speaking, Gu Chen nodded in agreement and said, "What Xiao Yuan said is just my guess."
"If He Shaoqing is really willing to cooperate with Tessa, then the bloody ancient jade came to Tessa's hands accurately during the transaction, obviously it has something to do with the prior communication between He Shaoqing and Tessa."
"After all, He Shaoqing is old and wants treasures. It is difficult to complete this task by himself, but Tessa is different."
"Perhaps Tessa is young, promising and determined, otherwise she wouldn't be traveling in China for a long time in the past few years."
Hearing this, Lu Weiwei also opened the drawer, took out her own shrimp-flavored potato chips, chewed them crunchy and slowly.
After a while, Lu Weiwei looked at Gu Chen and said, "Junior Brother Gu, according to what you said, He Shaoqing from Hejia Village in Gaoquling and the villagers actually know about this."
"It's just that He Shaoqing handed over the remaining symbols and totems that he kept to Tessa as the capital to join the group. After all, it's a little bit."
"Lu Weiwei, what you said is a bit reliable." As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Police Officer Wang also turned his head and couldn't help complaining:
"If you want me to say, the descendants of the northern tomb robbers gang, what kind of gold basin wash their hands is all fake, it's all just a cover."
Looking around, Police Officer Wang spread his arms and asked, "Why haven't they done anything for so many years? Didn't they go back to their old business? Why do you say?"
"Maybe it's because conditions don't allow it? After all, these people bury treasures all over the country. Obviously, these gangs may be restrained by themselves."
"Otherwise, one of the gangs will use their brains, and all the hidden treasures may be looted by one of the gangs."
"Yes, that's what I mean." Lu Weiwei saw that Comrade Wang was also thinking about it with her, so she stretched out her right hand and gave Police Officer Wang a high-five for encouragement.
Gu Chen also grinned, leaned back on the seat and said, "Accordingly, this situation is indeed possible."
"After all, Luo Wei, Zhang Jinze, and the driver who got into a car accident while driving while drunk, the three of them can break up because of these antiques. Obviously, greed is at work."
"And this gang of northern tomb robbers committed more than one crime back then. With so many treasures, in that uncertain era, they must have found a place to hide them."
"And from the migration of these people, it can be seen that there were a lot of factors to avoid disasters back then, so they would definitely restrain each other and bury these things in different places, but only a small number of people knew about them."
"It may be that the real map is hidden among these symbols and totems, and these symbols and totems are also distributed on the bodies of different descendants of the northern tomb robbers."
Before Gu Chen finished speaking, Lu Weiwei took the lead and said, "And this Tessa is the key person connecting these people."
"Tessa wants to use the map in her hand to collect the remaining maps in the hands of the descendants of the northern tomb robbers, and then dig out all these treasures."
"That's what it means." Gu Chen also snapped his fingers, expressing his agreement with Lu Weiwei's point of view.
Officer Wang was taken aback when he heard that.
Recalling the scene of everyone communicating with He Shaoqing in Hejia Village, Gaoquling, I feel that this should be a simple old man.
But now it seems that this group of people is not easy.
Although He Shaoqing from Hejia Village in Gaoquling is a young age, it seems that he has always been thinking about the treasures handed down from his ancestors.
Perhaps at Tessa's instigation, he decided to join Tessa's gang and hunt for treasure together.
Among them, Luo Wei might have been lured over in the same way back then, but because of the company's bankruptcy and greed, he had the idea of blackmailing Tessa, which ended in a tragic end.
"I think I still need to talk to He Shaoqing." Gu Chen thought suddenly.
"Are you going to Gaoquling Hejia Village again?" Hearing Gu Chen's words, Lu Weiwei hesitated.
Gu Chen also said for Dao Ming's reason: "Now Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong are tracking down Zhang Jinze's whereabouts, and I feel that this guy is a bit suspicious."
"But apart from other things, at least we now know that He Shaoqing and Tessa actually reached a certain kind of tacit understanding before."
"Zhang Jinze can't find it temporarily, it's okay, look for Tessa, it's okay if Tessa can't be found temporarily, you can go to He Shaoqing."
"At least he, He Shaoqing, is also a key figure in this link. The investigation of He Shaoqing can be said to be a matter of course."
"I agree." Officer Wang glanced at his watch and reminded, "There is indeed a problem with He Shaoqing. At least I feel that we should go again and ask the matter clearly."
"I also need to clarify the serious relationship with He Shaoqing, so that he can clearly understand that this incident involves two lives."
"If he, He Shaoqing, doesn't want to cause trouble, then he should actively cooperate with us and find Tessa, otherwise he, He Shaoqing, will be an indirect accomplice."
"Correct."
Hearing Officer Wang's remarks, Yuan Shasha and Lu Weiwei also echoed in unison.
This is also the common thought of everyone.
……
……
With the goal of investigating Tessa's whereabouts, the group drove to Gaoquling, Hejia Village again.
Since I came here last time, Gu Chen drove more smoothly this time.
When the vehicle was parked firmly on the villagers' square in Hejia Village, Gaoquling, the former white-bearded old man He Shaoqing was still playing chess with those weak old men.
After Gu Chen turned off the engine, he pulled up the handbrake and brought Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha to He Shaoqing again.
"General!" He Shaoqing slammed the ground and mounted his horse.
The fat man let out an "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh""
"Hey! Without you being so shameless, you have already lost." He Shaoqing didn't seem to give up.
But the fat man didn't care about these things, he just fired the gun.
"I'll do it again." Seeing the fat man playing tricks, He Shaoqing, the white-bearded man, was not polite, and continued to use his trump card to win.
The fat man withdrew his cannon again.
"Again!" He Shaoqing chased after him.
After several consecutive rounds of competition, He Shaoqing was still the general, and immediately stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "You don't have to struggle, no matter how you go, you can't escape my palm, just admit defeat, haha."
"Shaoqing, don't be complacent." The uncle who lost chess seemed a little unconvinced, and pointed to Gu Chen and the others behind He Shaoqing and said:
"I just saw the police comrade standing here, and I was distracted for a while, so I let you take advantage of it. It will not be so simple to beat me next time."
A burst of ridicule made He Shaoqing react instead.
He Shaoqing, the white-bearded master, turned his head and said, "Oh! Comrade policeman, it's you again? Why, is there anything I can do for you this time?"
"Uncle He, can you take a step to speak?" Gu Chen also reminded.
He Shaoqing glanced at the "defeated generals" on the opposite side, smiled slightly, and nodded in agreement: "Okay, go to my house and sit down."
"Okay, I just want to visit Uncle He's house." Lu Weiwei also grinned, feeling that this place is a good place to talk about.
A group of people, under the leadership of He Shaoqing, walked down the steps of the villagers' square and came to a four-story building below.
This is a mountain forest area, so flat land is rare, and all the houses of the villagers are built along the mountains.
Pushing open the door, He Shaoqing invited everyone to the yard, and then turned to make tea.
Lu Weiwei took a casual look around the small courtyard, and then said with emotion: "Uncle He, although your courtyard is not big, the decoration is very distinctive and artistic."
"Haha." He Shaoqing also grinned after hearing Lu Weiwei's praise: "The land here is tight, so it's pretty good to have a small courtyard."
"I don't expect the yard to be big, but it must be."
After delivering the tea to several people, He Shaoqing sat on a rocking chair in the courtyard, basking in the sun and asked:
"By the way, Comrade Police, what exactly do you want to do when you come here this time?"
"We found the man who bought your ancient blood jade." Gu Chen said seriously while drinking tea.
He Shaoqing frowned slightly when he heard Gu Chen's words, and then he looked calm again, and said with a smile, "That's very good."
"But that man has already given the ancient Xueqin jade to his girlfriend." Lu Weiwei added.
He Shaoqing nodded silently: "It makes sense that he bought this ancient bloody jade as a birthday present for his girlfriend. I don't think it's so strange, but I just feel that it is too sinister and doesn't matter." Fits well on the body."
"The point is not this." Officer Wang took a sip of his tea and said, "The point is, that woman's name is Tessa, a Southeast Asian nationality, and her ancestral home was China."
"It was she who asked her boyfriend Xu Feng to come here to buy the ancient blood jade with symbols and totems. All of this, in her opinion, is inevitable."
After a pause, Police Officer Wang said again: "So I'm curious, how can she be so sure that this piece of bloody ancient jade with symbols and totems will definitely fall into her hands?"
"Or, you, Mr. He, have already reached an agreement with her to hand over this special ancient blood jade to her?"
"You... what are you talking about? Why do I get more and more confused the more I listen?"
He Shaoqing felt his head buzzing, and He Shaoqing couldn't understand it.
Yuan Shasha couldn't stand it any longer, and said bluntly: "It means that you, Mr. He, as a descendant of the northern tomb robbers, actually have some connections with Tessa from Southeast Asia, right?"
"For example, you are all descendants of the northern tomb robbers. For example, you may all have items with symbols and totems in your hands, but these are actually incomplete items."
"I don't know what you're talking about?" After hearing Yuan Shasha's narration, He Shaoqing, who was lying on the rocking chair in the courtyard, obviously couldn't sit still.
Gu Chen also took his time, pointed the law enforcement recorder at He Shaoqing, took a sip of tea, picked up the notebook and walked in front of him, and said softly:
"Uncle He, we don't want to embarrass you, because two lives are involved in this."
"If we don't pursue it, the deceased will have no way to explain it. I know that you are also a descendant of the northern tomb robbers, but according to our investigation, in fact, the northern tomb robbers moved south to settle down in order to avoid disaster."
"You and your ancestors settled in Hejia Village, Gaoquling, Jiangnan City, while some branches settled in other parts of the country, and some even went to Nanyang to live and work in peace."
"However, with Tessa's appearance, it seems impossible for you to live a stable life, because you are also very clear, is Tessa's purpose for coming to China this time right?"
It seems to have spoken He Shaoqing's heart.
Although He Shaoqing is old, he is not confused and is very smart.
From his various thinking about playing chess, Gu Chen can see that this is an old man with a super high IQ.
Pretending to be crazy and stupid doesn't seem to be his personality.
In the face of Gu Chen who is equally capable, He Shaoqing knew that Gu Chen knew that he was pretending to be stupid, so now that the two of them looked at each other, He Shaoqing would look a little embarrassed.
Seeing that He Shaoqing still didn't speak, Gu Chen asked again: "Did your ancestors leave some special symbols and totems behind for the northern tomb robbers?"
"That's right." Youyou sighed, feeling that it would be pointless to hide it.
After all, He Shaoqing could tell that there was light in Gu Chen's eyes, and he had already seen through his thoughts.
And Gu Chen seems to be here for himself this time.
Rather than playing Tai Chi with him here, it is better to be honest.
He Shaoqing doesn't have that kind of hidden thoughts.
"So?" Gu Chen asked him.
He Shaoqing also sighed, and said with some helplessness: "It seems that you have thought of it all, well, I can tell you, what I know, including that Tessa."
"Great, I think you are quite cooperative." Seeing that He Shaoqing finally let go, Lu Weiwei felt that this was much less difficult than previously imagined.
After all, for old men like this, denial is their magic weapon.
But Lu Weiwei couldn't see any hypocrisy from this old man.
Gu Chen only asked tentatively, and he quickly confessed, which greatly exceeded previous expectations.
"Our village and the village on Tessa's side actually belonged to the same place a long time ago, and then gradually separated."
"At that time, our ancestors hid all the treasures they obtained in different places across the country, and only a few people knew about such places."
"Our ancestors represented these treasures with different symbols and totems."
Looking up at Gu Chen, He Shaoqing said helplessly, "So in order to protect these treasures, at some point in the future, they can be dug out for the benefit of our descendants."
"So, the ancestors designed symbols and totems that only the clansmen could understand, representing different directions and addresses."
"However, in order to prevent one family from dominating and monopolizing the wealth, the ancestors divided the map into several parts, engraved the address symbols and totems of the hidden treasures in different objects, scattered them, and handed them over to different people for separate custody."
"If there are tribesmen who want to take the treasure in the future, then the other tribes should fully support it. This is our ancestor's motto."
"Your ancestral precepts?" After recording these in the record, Gu Chen also looked curious, looked up at He Shaoqing who was on the rocking chair, and said:
"Your ancestral precepts are really interesting. Does every household have to remember the ancestral precepts?"
"No, that's not the case." Afraid of Gu Chen's misunderstanding, He Shaoqing simply explained: "This ancestral precept has been going on for many years, and only the most prestigious elders of the tribe can enjoy these secrets."
"And this secret, before the last most prestigious elder dies, he will tell this secret to the closest descendants in advance, so that the descendants can pass it on."
With a faint sigh, He Shaoqing was also quite helpless, shaking his head and said: "I originally thought that I was just an old man in a mountain village, and I just wanted to enjoy my old age, and no one would come to my door at all."
"So, with this mentality, we have lived until now, but until one day, a foreign woman knocked on the door of my house, I knew that bad things would come after all."
"It's Tessa who came to fulfill the promise made by your ancestors, right?" Lu Weiwei asked.
He Shaoqing did not hide it, but nodded silently, and said in agreement: "That's right, that Tessa is here to fulfill the promise back then."
"She took out the bloody ancient jade from her own house, and revealed her identity."
"Because of this kind of ancient jade with symbols and totems, other people in our village may not know it well, and they have never heard of it at all."
"But I can see the problem at a glance. This is the same ancestor who came to the door."
"So what? You and Tessa have reached a consensus?" Police Officer Wang was also curious, feeling that what happened between the descendants of the northern tomb robbers was really unclear.
He Shaoqing nodded slightly, and also replied in a low tone: "That's right, Tessa and I reached a consensus just like you in my small courtyard that day."
"Tessa is responsible for looking through the old genealogy to find the areas where those tribes were distributed."
"In these years, she has traveled all over the country, and indeed found many descendants of the northern tomb robbers, and began to collect these ancient bloody jade with symbols and totems in accordance with the agreement of the previous generations. "
"In this way, Tessa searched one by one, and finally found our Hejia Village."
After a pause, He Shaoqing took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then said:
"I know that I should follow the ancestral precepts and take out the ancient blood jade and give it to her, but in exchange, Tessa should also give us a certain reward after obtaining the treasure."
"It doesn't seem fair?" Hearing He Shaoqing's explanation, Gu Chen also felt that there were too many tricks, so he expressed his opinion:
"If you hand over the ancient blood jade from your ancestors to Tessa, aren't you afraid that Tessa will run away after finding the treasure, and won't share the spoils with you?"
"No." He Shaoqing shook his head, and said with a faint smile: "Our ancestors have stipulated that if someone from the northern sect of tomb robbers comes to exchange bloody ancient jade, as the invited party, they should send someone to act together with the other party. .”
Pointing to himself, He Shaoqing smiled self-deprecatingly: "But look at me, I'm an old bone, I don't want to participate in this matter anymore."
"So, as the invited party, according to the ancestral precepts, I can refuse to participate, but I can still get part of the things after the other party succeeds."
"As for how much something is worth, she can give it according to her conscience, and Tessa doesn't have to. As long as she has a good conscience, I won't pursue it, but this kind of situation usually doesn't happen, because we clansmen have always had a deep belief in the ancestral precepts. .”
"So, when Tessa came here for the first time, she didn't get the piece of ancient Xueqin jade from your house, did she?" After Gu Chen finished recording these, he continued to ask.
He Shaoqing didn't want to hide it, so he directly said, "That's right, didn't I tell you before?"
"The bloody ancient jade, this is something from the underworld, it is not auspicious in itself, so it cannot be kept at home."
"So, my grandfather's generation hid the ancient Xueqin jade in this deep mountain, and only I can find out the exact location."
"So when Tessa came here for the first time, she came back empty-handed. We agreed that when we wait for our Hejia Village to hold an antique market, Tessa can send someone over to buy."
"The money paid is a kind of meeting gift, because the ancestors stipulated that you can't give something empty-handed, even if the other party exchanges it with one dollar, it's okay."
"I understand." Gu Chen nodded silently, feeling that this family of northern tomb robbers has quite a few rules.
But this is not the point that Gu Chen wants to pursue.
After all, things have been clarified now, that is, Tessa has indeed been to Hejia Village, and she has indeed made contact with He Shaoqing.
Knowing in advance, He Shaoqing sold the ancient Xueqin jade to Xu Feng who was running errands, and then Xu Feng handed it to Tessa.
After recording these, Gu Chen asked He Shaoqing again: "But Mr. He, this matter is a bit complicated now, mainly because it involves two murder cases."
"So, you know where Tessa is, but you must tell us in time, otherwise you will harm her, because she is likely to attack the next target person."
"She's going to kill someone?" He Shaoqing's heart skipped a beat when he heard that.
Seeing this, Lu Weiwei immediately echoed and said, "That's for sure. There was a businessman who knew about it before, and maybe he used knowing this secret as a bargaining chip to blackmail Tessa."
"So, his result was very tragic. He was injured by a poisonous needle and died, and the murderer who assassinated him also committed suicide inexplicably."
"So we now seriously suspect that Tessa is behind all of this, but because there is another person who knew about it back then."
"But this person seems to have other plans. If he is not found as soon as possible, he will most likely become Tessa's next target."
"That's right." Yuan Shasha was also very anxious, and reminded: "Uncle He, if you know where Tessa is, please don't play around with us, time waits for no one."
"But." He Shaoqing suddenly hesitated after hearing the words of several people.
"Uncle He." Seeing He Shaoqing's hesitation at this moment, Gu Chen also reminded: "Tessa's treasure hunting matter, I think we can stop here."
"She killed so recklessly, we will not let her go, her current existence is the biggest threat to those victims, you can't let the murderer get away with it like this."
The voice fell, and the scene suddenly became quiet.
Maybe it was Gu Chen's words, reminding himself.
Or maybe I feel sorry for my conscience.
After all, this has already involved a murder case, which runs counter to my original idea of wanting to complete the ancestral precepts.
If Tessa can use these things to find treasures, He Shaoqing doesn't care about them.
However, if during the treasure hunting process, serious crimes are committed, even involving murder, He Shaoqing feels that this has run counter to the ancestral motto that seeking wealth does not kill one's life.
It seems that the things left by these ancestors are being broken bit by bit.
Thinking of this, He Shaoqing suddenly let out an "Ouch" and held his head in his hands, excruciating pain.
"Master He?"
"Master He, what's the matter with you?"
Seeing this, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, who were closest to him, immediately stepped forward to check the situation.
He Shaoqing was also sweating coldly, and said with a trembling voice: "The old headache problem has recurred, and I knew that my headache problem can no longer be cured. Sooner or later, I will have to confess my life here."
"Huh...huh..."
After the words fell, He Shaoqing began to breathe heavily.
Gu Chen hurriedly reminded Yuan Shasha to bring the teacup aside and give He Shaoqing a few sips of water.
And Lu Weiwei also instantly turned into a caring little angel, and began to press He Shaoqing's head with both hands, and began to massage non-stop.
"Is it better? Uncle He." After massaging for nearly 3 minutes, Lu Weiwei also tried to ask him.
"Okay...it's much better." He Shaoqing frowned, feeling some relief from the pain, she couldn't help sitting up and said, "The children are not around, and I may have to give my life here. I am old and my body is useless. Yes, this is fate, you have to admit it."
"Don't be so discouraged, okay?" Uncle He felt emotional.
Seeing Gu Chen and the others being so caring, He Shaoqing felt a little sorry.
After thinking about it, he still murmured: "Forget it, who made Tessa do it herself? I can't blame it."
"Dare to do evil here, it's beyond her control."
Looking up at Gu Chen, He Shaoqing said earnestly, "Officer Gu, let me tell you where Tessa is currently hiding."
"Tell me." Seeing that He Shaoqing finally let go, Gu Chen immediately took out the notebook and prepared to record it.
"The place where she is currently hiding is in the back of an industrial area..."
"Wait a moment."
Before He Shaoqing finished speaking, Gu Chen immediately frowned, and hurriedly asked, "You mean, Tessa is currently hiding in the back hill of an industrial area, right?"
"No... That's right, is there any problem?" He Shaoqing was also puzzled by Gu Chen's curiosity.
Lu Weiwei hurriedly asked: "Is it in the back mountain near Johnson Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd?"
After all, Zhang Jinze left quietly after everyone left Jiangsen Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and headed for the direction of the back mountain.
And that place is a dead end, it doesn't work at all.
It can be seen that Zhang Jinze must have something important to go to Houshan, maybe he just went to meet Tessa.
He Shaoqing was in a daze, and it took him a long time to recover. Then he nodded silently and admitted, "No...that's right, she is at the back mountain of Johnson Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd."
"Because there was a place over there before, where our ancestors hid the treasure."
"You mean, one of your ancestors' treasures is hidden in that back mountain?" Gu Chen was startled by this news just after recording halfway.
Seeing Gu Chen's surprised face, He Shaoqing also waved his hands and said, "You don't have to be so surprised, we didn't know that place before, because the ancient blood jade with special symbols and totems handed down from our ancestors is not at all. It’s just a leftover picture.”
"Only by combining and sorting the symbols and totems of other tribes can we find out the specific location."
Taking a deep breath, He Shaoqing said again: "I don't have the ability to find the burial place, but Tessa can, so she emptied the treasures there a few years ago, and sent me some, just put them away In my warehouse."
"Ahem!" Coughing twice, He Shaoqing continued to explain:
"So, if Tessa committed murder and wounded people in Jiangnan City, I'm sure she wouldn't run around, and would definitely hide in that secret place."
"After all, I heard that the secret passage over there is a good hiding place, but I haven't been there yet."
"Oops." Hearing He Shaoqing's words, Lu Weiwei suddenly looked terrified, and reminded Gu Chen:
"Junior Brother Gu, Zhang Jinze has already passed away. This guy may have known where Tessa is for a long time. He must have been deceiving us before. He may also be one of the accomplices who killed Luo Wei."
"That's right." Gu Chen thought of the scene where Zhang Jinze hid by the office window and observed secretly when he was leading the team to leave, which seemed to be sneaky.
It can be seen that this guy is waiting for everyone to leave, and then to complete some unfinished things.
But what is the special relationship between Zhang Jinze and Tessa?Gu Chen is still unclear, but it is certain that the two of them are in collusion.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed Ding Liang's number.
Not long after, Ding Liang's phone was connected.
"Ding Liang, has anyone found it?" Gu Chen asked eagerly.
Ding Liang was speechless, and complained: "This place is very densely forested. It feels like there is no guide, and it is easy to get lost. We dare not venture in. We are still wandering around the edge of this back mountain. Why? Are you here to help? "
"That's it." Gu Chen thought about it for a few seconds, and then hurriedly said: "You call your patrol team immediately, and send more people over."
"I'm also notifying the three teams of the criminal investigation team to send people to support you. This Tessa may be hiding in the back mountain."
Taking a deep breath, seeing Ding Liang on the other end of the phone kept echoing, Gu Chen reminded again: "Don't rush in, because Tessa may have some unknown and highly toxic substance in her hands."
"The previous deceased died from this kind of poisonous needle, so you must pay attention to safety, don't rush into the mountain to search, block the surrounding roads, and wait for support."
"I understand." Ding Liang on the other end of the phone, hearing Gu Chen's tone, naturally knew that this matter was not easy to handle.
After a brief communication, the two also hung up the phone.
On the other side, Lu Weiwei also started to call the criminal investigation team, preparing to let the criminal investigation team deploy people to support Ding Liang's team.
After a brief communication with He Shaoqing, everyone rushed to the direction of the back mountain of Johnson Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
All of a sudden, people from all walks of life began to gather in the back mountain.
After Gu Chen notified Zhao Guozhi by phone, Zhao Guozhi immediately dispatched spare police officers from other departments, and asked He Junchao to carry drones and other investigative equipment to the area where the incident occurred.
When Gu Chen and the others arrived by car, all kinds of police cars were already parked on the side of the road.
He Junchao also waited there for a long time.
In the sky, several drones are circling non-stop, and it seems that they have searched several hills.
"Senior Brother He." After getting off the car, Gu Chen hurried to He Junchao's side and asked, "How is it?"
"Can you send some more police dogs over?" He Junchao also said with a big head.

Ask for votes, with a sincere face. ╰(‵ ′)╯
(End of this chapter)
"Run away? Why is this guy running?" Before Gu Chen could speak, Lu Weiwei quit.
He Junchao also said helplessly: "Not long after you left, he drove away from the company."
"And judging from his driving route, he went directly to the mountain behind the Johnson Group, and there is no surveillance over there."
"Could it be to go to work?" Officer Wang made a hypothesis.
But it was quickly overruled by He Junchao: "Is it necessary to go to the mountains to do business? It feels like this guy is in a hurry. From the monitoring on the side of the road, it can be seen that when he hurried to the side of the car, he almost wrestling."
After the voice fell, He Junchao called out the monitoring outside the Jiangsen Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. in the industrial zone.
From the perspective of monitoring, it is possible to directly observe the environment at the gate of the factory area.
The parking space in the factory area is right in front of the building directly in front of the door.
From the screen, everyone can see that not long after Gu Chen and the others drove away, Zhang Jinze walked out of the building in a hurry, and then hurried into the car.
But because the action was too hasty, the moment he got into the car, his right foot was twisted.
These small details are enough to see that this Zhang Jinze seems to want to leave the company immediately.
"Not long after we left, it's a bit strange that he left in a hurry." Gu Chen crossed his arms and thoughtfully.
At this moment, He Junchao immediately quit the monitoring, opened the satellite map of the entire area, and said in front of everyone: "He is walking this way."
"Where does this road lead to?" Lu Weiwei asked.
"Leading to the mountains, this Johnson Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. was originally built on the mountain, and going here is a dead end."
"And this Zhang Jinze has also stayed in the factory area for a long time, he will not be unaware that this is a dead end, so I conclude that he may be going to the back mountain."
"No one else followed?" Gu Chen asked.
He Junchao nodded slightly: "That's for sure, he left the company sneakily by himself, and then drove towards the back mountain."
"However, these places along the way have not yet installed surveillance cameras. I feel that this guy is mysterious. He must be going to the back mountain."
"What are you doing in the back mountain? Are you picking wild fruits? Or... are you going to meet someone?"
"Tessa." As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Yuan Shasha directly guessed.
Everyone was still racking their brains about Tessa's whereabouts before, but now that they think about it, maybe Zhang Jinze already knew where Tessa was.
Gu Chen frowned, quickly took out his cell phone, and dialed Ding Liang's number.
After a while of communication, Gu Chen asked Ding Liang to speed up and keep up with Zhang Jinze's car.
And send Zhang Jinze's license plate number and Zhang Jinze's identity information.
After making arrangements here, Gu Chen returned to the desk.
Lu Weiwei also came over and said, "Junior Brother Gu, don't worry about Zhang Jinze. I feel that this guy will definitely not be able to run away. Even if he wants to run away, Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong will definitely chase him back."
"I'm not worried about Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong." Gu Chen sighed quietly, telling the truth.
Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong's ability to handle affairs, no one knows better than Gu Chen.
Hand over this information to a few people, presumably Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong will be able to handle this matter safely.
But Gu Chen is currently worried about another thing.
Lu Weiwei said in surprise, "Then what are you worried about?"
"Gaoquling, Hejia Village, He Shaoqing." Gu Chen said.
"You mean, the old man with the white beard who sold the ancient Xueqin jade? He is also the descendant of the northern tomb robbers?" Lu Weiwei said.
Everyone mentioned this in the offices of some Johnson Machinery manufacturing companies before.
Therefore, Lu Weiwei concluded that Gu Chen believed that He Shaoqing had something to do with Tessa.
Gu Chen picked up the tea on the table, just about to take a sip, but found that the tea had bottomed out.
Seeing this, Lu Weiwei quickly snatched Gu Chen's water glass, and reminded, "I'll help you fill the water, and you speak out your thoughts."
Seeing that Lu Weiwei had already done the work, Gu Chen also leaned back on the seat and expressed his thoughts:
"That's what I think. He Shaoqing from Hejia Village in Gaoquling may have a close relationship with Tessa."
"First of all, everyone should know that they are all descendants of the northern tomb robbers. The ancestors of He Shaoqing migrated to Hejia Village in Gaoquling, and Tessa followed the ancestors to Nanyang and settled in Southeast Asia."
"But Tessa suddenly came to China from Southeast Asia a few years ago, and stayed here for several years."
"Nominally speaking, it is to travel all over the mountains and rivers here. It seems like a young woman in literature and art is pursuing poetry and distant places."
"But think about it carefully, she must have painstakingly searched for treasure locations all over the years, but what conditions does she need?"
"It's... the symbols and totems on the ancient Xueqin jade?" Lu Weiwei also echoed the idea provided by Gu Chen, and handed the poured tea to Gu Chen by the way.
"Thank you, Senior Sister Lu." After receiving the tea from Lu Weiwei, Gu Chen took a sip, put the glass on the table, and said:
"Senior Sister Lu is right. The conditions she needs are the symbols and totems on the ancient blood jade."
"Although we don't understand this kind of thing, I'm sure Tessa can understand it, and maybe He Shaoqing can understand it too."
"That's right." After hearing Gu Chen's words, Yuan Shasha also suddenly realized: "Brother Gu mentioned this issue when we were on the way back to the branch office."
"From the looks of it, Xu Feng from the car dealership worked tirelessly and made a special trip to Hejia Village in Gaoquling to buy that piece of ancient Xueqin jade."
"This seems to be an errand job, because Tessa and He Shaoqing may have already discussed that Xu Feng will bring the ancient blood jade with symbols and totems to Tessa."
"Then can I think so? He Shaoqing is also looking for these treasures, but both parties are restrained and unable to complete this work independently."
"Therefore, He Shaoqing and Tessa, both descendants of the Northern Tomb Raiders Group, have reached a cooperation agreement. He Shaoqing will hand over the bloody ancient jade at home to Tessa."
"And Tessa started to assemble her next map based on the symbols and totems provided by He Shaoqing."
"aweason."
As soon as Yuan Shasha finished speaking, Gu Chen nodded in agreement and said, "What Xiao Yuan said is just my guess."
"If He Shaoqing is really willing to cooperate with Tessa, then the bloody ancient jade came to Tessa's hands accurately during the transaction, obviously it has something to do with the prior communication between He Shaoqing and Tessa."
"After all, He Shaoqing is old and wants treasures. It is difficult to complete this task by himself, but Tessa is different."
"Perhaps Tessa is young, promising and determined, otherwise she wouldn't be traveling in China for a long time in the past few years."
Hearing this, Lu Weiwei also opened the drawer, took out her own shrimp-flavored potato chips, chewed them crunchy and slowly.
After a while, Lu Weiwei looked at Gu Chen and said, "Junior Brother Gu, according to what you said, He Shaoqing from Hejia Village in Gaoquling and the villagers actually know about this."
"It's just that He Shaoqing handed over the remaining symbols and totems that he kept to Tessa as the capital to join the group. After all, it's a little bit."
"Lu Weiwei, what you said is a bit reliable." As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Police Officer Wang also turned his head and couldn't help complaining:
"If you want me to say, the descendants of the northern tomb robbers gang, what kind of gold basin wash their hands is all fake, it's all just a cover."
Looking around, Police Officer Wang spread his arms and asked, "Why haven't they done anything for so many years? Didn't they go back to their old business? Why do you say?"
"Maybe it's because conditions don't allow it? After all, these people bury treasures all over the country. Obviously, these gangs may be restrained by themselves."
"Otherwise, one of the gangs will use their brains, and all the hidden treasures may be looted by one of the gangs."
"Yes, that's what I mean." Lu Weiwei saw that Comrade Wang was also thinking about it with her, so she stretched out her right hand and gave Police Officer Wang a high-five for encouragement.
Gu Chen also grinned, leaned back on the seat and said, "Accordingly, this situation is indeed possible."
"After all, Luo Wei, Zhang Jinze, and the driver who got into a car accident while driving while drunk, the three of them can break up because of these antiques. Obviously, greed is at work."
"And this gang of northern tomb robbers committed more than one crime back then. With so many treasures, in that uncertain era, they must have found a place to hide them."
"And from the migration of these people, it can be seen that there were a lot of factors to avoid disasters back then, so they would definitely restrain each other and bury these things in different places, but only a small number of people knew about them."
"It may be that the real map is hidden among these symbols and totems, and these symbols and totems are also distributed on the bodies of different descendants of the northern tomb robbers."
Before Gu Chen finished speaking, Lu Weiwei took the lead and said, "And this Tessa is the key person connecting these people."
"Tessa wants to use the map in her hand to collect the remaining maps in the hands of the descendants of the northern tomb robbers, and then dig out all these treasures."
"That's what it means." Gu Chen also snapped his fingers, expressing his agreement with Lu Weiwei's point of view.
Officer Wang was taken aback when he heard that.
Recalling the scene of everyone communicating with He Shaoqing in Hejia Village, Gaoquling, I feel that this should be a simple old man.
But now it seems that this group of people is not easy.
Although He Shaoqing from Hejia Village in Gaoquling is a young age, it seems that he has always been thinking about the treasures handed down from his ancestors.
Perhaps at Tessa's instigation, he decided to join Tessa's gang and hunt for treasure together.
Among them, Luo Wei might have been lured over in the same way back then, but because of the company's bankruptcy and greed, he had the idea of blackmailing Tessa, which ended in a tragic end.
"I think I still need to talk to He Shaoqing." Gu Chen thought suddenly.
"Are you going to Gaoquling Hejia Village again?" Hearing Gu Chen's words, Lu Weiwei hesitated.
Gu Chen also said for Dao Ming's reason: "Now Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong are tracking down Zhang Jinze's whereabouts, and I feel that this guy is a bit suspicious."
"But apart from other things, at least we now know that He Shaoqing and Tessa actually reached a certain kind of tacit understanding before."
"Zhang Jinze can't find it temporarily, it's okay, look for Tessa, it's okay if Tessa can't be found temporarily, you can go to He Shaoqing."
"At least he, He Shaoqing, is also a key figure in this link. The investigation of He Shaoqing can be said to be a matter of course."
"I agree." Officer Wang glanced at his watch and reminded, "There is indeed a problem with He Shaoqing. At least I feel that we should go again and ask the matter clearly."
"I also need to clarify the serious relationship with He Shaoqing, so that he can clearly understand that this incident involves two lives."
"If he, He Shaoqing, doesn't want to cause trouble, then he should actively cooperate with us and find Tessa, otherwise he, He Shaoqing, will be an indirect accomplice."
"Correct."
Hearing Officer Wang's remarks, Yuan Shasha and Lu Weiwei also echoed in unison.
This is also the common thought of everyone.
……
……
With the goal of investigating Tessa's whereabouts, the group drove to Gaoquling, Hejia Village again.
Since I came here last time, Gu Chen drove more smoothly this time.
When the vehicle was parked firmly on the villagers' square in Hejia Village, Gaoquling, the former white-bearded old man He Shaoqing was still playing chess with those weak old men.
After Gu Chen turned off the engine, he pulled up the handbrake and brought Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha to He Shaoqing again.
"General!" He Shaoqing slammed the ground and mounted his horse.
The fat man let out an "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh""
"Hey! Without you being so shameless, you have already lost." He Shaoqing didn't seem to give up.
But the fat man didn't care about these things, he just fired the gun.
"I'll do it again." Seeing the fat man playing tricks, He Shaoqing, the white-bearded man, was not polite, and continued to use his trump card to win.
The fat man withdrew his cannon again.
"Again!" He Shaoqing chased after him.
After several consecutive rounds of competition, He Shaoqing was still the general, and immediately stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "You don't have to struggle, no matter how you go, you can't escape my palm, just admit defeat, haha."
"Shaoqing, don't be complacent." The uncle who lost chess seemed a little unconvinced, and pointed to Gu Chen and the others behind He Shaoqing and said:
"I just saw the police comrade standing here, and I was distracted for a while, so I let you take advantage of it. It will not be so simple to beat me next time."
A burst of ridicule made He Shaoqing react instead.
He Shaoqing, the white-bearded master, turned his head and said, "Oh! Comrade policeman, it's you again? Why, is there anything I can do for you this time?"
"Uncle He, can you take a step to speak?" Gu Chen also reminded.
He Shaoqing glanced at the "defeated generals" on the opposite side, smiled slightly, and nodded in agreement: "Okay, go to my house and sit down."
"Okay, I just want to visit Uncle He's house." Lu Weiwei also grinned, feeling that this place is a good place to talk about.
A group of people, under the leadership of He Shaoqing, walked down the steps of the villagers' square and came to a four-story building below.
This is a mountain forest area, so flat land is rare, and all the houses of the villagers are built along the mountains.
Pushing open the door, He Shaoqing invited everyone to the yard, and then turned to make tea.
Lu Weiwei took a casual look around the small courtyard, and then said with emotion: "Uncle He, although your courtyard is not big, the decoration is very distinctive and artistic."
"Haha." He Shaoqing also grinned after hearing Lu Weiwei's praise: "The land here is tight, so it's pretty good to have a small courtyard."
"I don't expect the yard to be big, but it must be."
After delivering the tea to several people, He Shaoqing sat on a rocking chair in the courtyard, basking in the sun and asked:
"By the way, Comrade Police, what exactly do you want to do when you come here this time?"
"We found the man who bought your ancient blood jade." Gu Chen said seriously while drinking tea.
He Shaoqing frowned slightly when he heard Gu Chen's words, and then he looked calm again, and said with a smile, "That's very good."
"But that man has already given the ancient Xueqin jade to his girlfriend." Lu Weiwei added.
He Shaoqing nodded silently: "It makes sense that he bought this ancient bloody jade as a birthday present for his girlfriend. I don't think it's so strange, but I just feel that it is too sinister and doesn't matter." Fits well on the body."
"The point is not this." Officer Wang took a sip of his tea and said, "The point is, that woman's name is Tessa, a Southeast Asian nationality, and her ancestral home was China."
"It was she who asked her boyfriend Xu Feng to come here to buy the ancient blood jade with symbols and totems. All of this, in her opinion, is inevitable."
After a pause, Police Officer Wang said again: "So I'm curious, how can she be so sure that this piece of bloody ancient jade with symbols and totems will definitely fall into her hands?"
"Or, you, Mr. He, have already reached an agreement with her to hand over this special ancient blood jade to her?"
"You... what are you talking about? Why do I get more and more confused the more I listen?"
He Shaoqing felt his head buzzing, and He Shaoqing couldn't understand it.
Yuan Shasha couldn't stand it any longer, and said bluntly: "It means that you, Mr. He, as a descendant of the northern tomb robbers, actually have some connections with Tessa from Southeast Asia, right?"
"For example, you are all descendants of the northern tomb robbers. For example, you may all have items with symbols and totems in your hands, but these are actually incomplete items."
"I don't know what you're talking about?" After hearing Yuan Shasha's narration, He Shaoqing, who was lying on the rocking chair in the courtyard, obviously couldn't sit still.
Gu Chen also took his time, pointed the law enforcement recorder at He Shaoqing, took a sip of tea, picked up the notebook and walked in front of him, and said softly:
"Uncle He, we don't want to embarrass you, because two lives are involved in this."
"If we don't pursue it, the deceased will have no way to explain it. I know that you are also a descendant of the northern tomb robbers, but according to our investigation, in fact, the northern tomb robbers moved south to settle down in order to avoid disaster."
"You and your ancestors settled in Hejia Village, Gaoquling, Jiangnan City, while some branches settled in other parts of the country, and some even went to Nanyang to live and work in peace."
"However, with Tessa's appearance, it seems impossible for you to live a stable life, because you are also very clear, is Tessa's purpose for coming to China this time right?"
It seems to have spoken He Shaoqing's heart.
Although He Shaoqing is old, he is not confused and is very smart.
From his various thinking about playing chess, Gu Chen can see that this is an old man with a super high IQ.
Pretending to be crazy and stupid doesn't seem to be his personality.
In the face of Gu Chen who is equally capable, He Shaoqing knew that Gu Chen knew that he was pretending to be stupid, so now that the two of them looked at each other, He Shaoqing would look a little embarrassed.
Seeing that He Shaoqing still didn't speak, Gu Chen asked again: "Did your ancestors leave some special symbols and totems behind for the northern tomb robbers?"
"That's right." Youyou sighed, feeling that it would be pointless to hide it.
After all, He Shaoqing could tell that there was light in Gu Chen's eyes, and he had already seen through his thoughts.
And Gu Chen seems to be here for himself this time.
Rather than playing Tai Chi with him here, it is better to be honest.
He Shaoqing doesn't have that kind of hidden thoughts.
"So?" Gu Chen asked him.
He Shaoqing also sighed, and said with some helplessness: "It seems that you have thought of it all, well, I can tell you, what I know, including that Tessa."
"Great, I think you are quite cooperative." Seeing that He Shaoqing finally let go, Lu Weiwei felt that this was much less difficult than previously imagined.
After all, for old men like this, denial is their magic weapon.
But Lu Weiwei couldn't see any hypocrisy from this old man.
Gu Chen only asked tentatively, and he quickly confessed, which greatly exceeded previous expectations.
"Our village and the village on Tessa's side actually belonged to the same place a long time ago, and then gradually separated."
"At that time, our ancestors hid all the treasures they obtained in different places across the country, and only a few people knew about such places."
"Our ancestors represented these treasures with different symbols and totems."
Looking up at Gu Chen, He Shaoqing said helplessly, "So in order to protect these treasures, at some point in the future, they can be dug out for the benefit of our descendants."
"So, the ancestors designed symbols and totems that only the clansmen could understand, representing different directions and addresses."
"However, in order to prevent one family from dominating and monopolizing the wealth, the ancestors divided the map into several parts, engraved the address symbols and totems of the hidden treasures in different objects, scattered them, and handed them over to different people for separate custody."
"If there are tribesmen who want to take the treasure in the future, then the other tribes should fully support it. This is our ancestor's motto."
"Your ancestral precepts?" After recording these in the record, Gu Chen also looked curious, looked up at He Shaoqing who was on the rocking chair, and said:
"Your ancestral precepts are really interesting. Does every household have to remember the ancestral precepts?"
"No, that's not the case." Afraid of Gu Chen's misunderstanding, He Shaoqing simply explained: "This ancestral precept has been going on for many years, and only the most prestigious elders of the tribe can enjoy these secrets."
"And this secret, before the last most prestigious elder dies, he will tell this secret to the closest descendants in advance, so that the descendants can pass it on."
With a faint sigh, He Shaoqing was also quite helpless, shaking his head and said: "I originally thought that I was just an old man in a mountain village, and I just wanted to enjoy my old age, and no one would come to my door at all."
"So, with this mentality, we have lived until now, but until one day, a foreign woman knocked on the door of my house, I knew that bad things would come after all."
"It's Tessa who came to fulfill the promise made by your ancestors, right?" Lu Weiwei asked.
He Shaoqing did not hide it, but nodded silently, and said in agreement: "That's right, that Tessa is here to fulfill the promise back then."
"She took out the bloody ancient jade from her own house, and revealed her identity."
"Because of this kind of ancient jade with symbols and totems, other people in our village may not know it well, and they have never heard of it at all."
"But I can see the problem at a glance. This is the same ancestor who came to the door."
"So what? You and Tessa have reached a consensus?" Police Officer Wang was also curious, feeling that what happened between the descendants of the northern tomb robbers was really unclear.
He Shaoqing nodded slightly, and also replied in a low tone: "That's right, Tessa and I reached a consensus just like you in my small courtyard that day."
"Tessa is responsible for looking through the old genealogy to find the areas where those tribes were distributed."
"In these years, she has traveled all over the country, and indeed found many descendants of the northern tomb robbers, and began to collect these ancient bloody jade with symbols and totems in accordance with the agreement of the previous generations. "
"In this way, Tessa searched one by one, and finally found our Hejia Village."
After a pause, He Shaoqing took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then said:
"I know that I should follow the ancestral precepts and take out the ancient blood jade and give it to her, but in exchange, Tessa should also give us a certain reward after obtaining the treasure."
"It doesn't seem fair?" Hearing He Shaoqing's explanation, Gu Chen also felt that there were too many tricks, so he expressed his opinion:
"If you hand over the ancient blood jade from your ancestors to Tessa, aren't you afraid that Tessa will run away after finding the treasure, and won't share the spoils with you?"
"No." He Shaoqing shook his head, and said with a faint smile: "Our ancestors have stipulated that if someone from the northern sect of tomb robbers comes to exchange bloody ancient jade, as the invited party, they should send someone to act together with the other party. .”
Pointing to himself, He Shaoqing smiled self-deprecatingly: "But look at me, I'm an old bone, I don't want to participate in this matter anymore."
"So, as the invited party, according to the ancestral precepts, I can refuse to participate, but I can still get part of the things after the other party succeeds."
"As for how much something is worth, she can give it according to her conscience, and Tessa doesn't have to. As long as she has a good conscience, I won't pursue it, but this kind of situation usually doesn't happen, because we clansmen have always had a deep belief in the ancestral precepts. .”
"So, when Tessa came here for the first time, she didn't get the piece of ancient Xueqin jade from your house, did she?" After Gu Chen finished recording these, he continued to ask.
He Shaoqing didn't want to hide it, so he directly said, "That's right, didn't I tell you before?"
"The bloody ancient jade, this is something from the underworld, it is not auspicious in itself, so it cannot be kept at home."
"So, my grandfather's generation hid the ancient Xueqin jade in this deep mountain, and only I can find out the exact location."
"So when Tessa came here for the first time, she came back empty-handed. We agreed that when we wait for our Hejia Village to hold an antique market, Tessa can send someone over to buy."
"The money paid is a kind of meeting gift, because the ancestors stipulated that you can't give something empty-handed, even if the other party exchanges it with one dollar, it's okay."
"I understand." Gu Chen nodded silently, feeling that this family of northern tomb robbers has quite a few rules.
But this is not the point that Gu Chen wants to pursue.
After all, things have been clarified now, that is, Tessa has indeed been to Hejia Village, and she has indeed made contact with He Shaoqing.
Knowing in advance, He Shaoqing sold the ancient Xueqin jade to Xu Feng who was running errands, and then Xu Feng handed it to Tessa.
After recording these, Gu Chen asked He Shaoqing again: "But Mr. He, this matter is a bit complicated now, mainly because it involves two murder cases."
"So, you know where Tessa is, but you must tell us in time, otherwise you will harm her, because she is likely to attack the next target person."
"She's going to kill someone?" He Shaoqing's heart skipped a beat when he heard that.
Seeing this, Lu Weiwei immediately echoed and said, "That's for sure. There was a businessman who knew about it before, and maybe he used knowing this secret as a bargaining chip to blackmail Tessa."
"So, his result was very tragic. He was injured by a poisonous needle and died, and the murderer who assassinated him also committed suicide inexplicably."
"So we now seriously suspect that Tessa is behind all of this, but because there is another person who knew about it back then."
"But this person seems to have other plans. If he is not found as soon as possible, he will most likely become Tessa's next target."
"That's right." Yuan Shasha was also very anxious, and reminded: "Uncle He, if you know where Tessa is, please don't play around with us, time waits for no one."
"But." He Shaoqing suddenly hesitated after hearing the words of several people.
"Uncle He." Seeing He Shaoqing's hesitation at this moment, Gu Chen also reminded: "Tessa's treasure hunting matter, I think we can stop here."
"She killed so recklessly, we will not let her go, her current existence is the biggest threat to those victims, you can't let the murderer get away with it like this."
The voice fell, and the scene suddenly became quiet.
Maybe it was Gu Chen's words, reminding himself.
Or maybe I feel sorry for my conscience.
After all, this has already involved a murder case, which runs counter to my original idea of wanting to complete the ancestral precepts.
If Tessa can use these things to find treasures, He Shaoqing doesn't care about them.
However, if during the treasure hunting process, serious crimes are committed, even involving murder, He Shaoqing feels that this has run counter to the ancestral motto that seeking wealth does not kill one's life.
It seems that the things left by these ancestors are being broken bit by bit.
Thinking of this, He Shaoqing suddenly let out an "Ouch" and held his head in his hands, excruciating pain.
"Master He?"
"Master He, what's the matter with you?"
Seeing this, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, who were closest to him, immediately stepped forward to check the situation.
He Shaoqing was also sweating coldly, and said with a trembling voice: "The old headache problem has recurred, and I knew that my headache problem can no longer be cured. Sooner or later, I will have to confess my life here."
"Huh...huh..."
After the words fell, He Shaoqing began to breathe heavily.
Gu Chen hurriedly reminded Yuan Shasha to bring the teacup aside and give He Shaoqing a few sips of water.
And Lu Weiwei also instantly turned into a caring little angel, and began to press He Shaoqing's head with both hands, and began to massage non-stop.
"Is it better? Uncle He." After massaging for nearly 3 minutes, Lu Weiwei also tried to ask him.
"Okay...it's much better." He Shaoqing frowned, feeling some relief from the pain, she couldn't help sitting up and said, "The children are not around, and I may have to give my life here. I am old and my body is useless. Yes, this is fate, you have to admit it."
"Don't be so discouraged, okay?" Uncle He felt emotional.
Seeing Gu Chen and the others being so caring, He Shaoqing felt a little sorry.
After thinking about it, he still murmured: "Forget it, who made Tessa do it herself? I can't blame it."
"Dare to do evil here, it's beyond her control."
Looking up at Gu Chen, He Shaoqing said earnestly, "Officer Gu, let me tell you where Tessa is currently hiding."
"Tell me." Seeing that He Shaoqing finally let go, Gu Chen immediately took out the notebook and prepared to record it.
"The place where she is currently hiding is in the back of an industrial area..."
"Wait a moment."
Before He Shaoqing finished speaking, Gu Chen immediately frowned, and hurriedly asked, "You mean, Tessa is currently hiding in the back hill of an industrial area, right?"
"No... That's right, is there any problem?" He Shaoqing was also puzzled by Gu Chen's curiosity.
Lu Weiwei hurriedly asked: "Is it in the back mountain near Johnson Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd?"
After all, Zhang Jinze left quietly after everyone left Jiangsen Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and headed for the direction of the back mountain.
And that place is a dead end, it doesn't work at all.
It can be seen that Zhang Jinze must have something important to go to Houshan, maybe he just went to meet Tessa.
He Shaoqing was in a daze, and it took him a long time to recover. Then he nodded silently and admitted, "No...that's right, she is at the back mountain of Johnson Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd."
"Because there was a place over there before, where our ancestors hid the treasure."
"You mean, one of your ancestors' treasures is hidden in that back mountain?" Gu Chen was startled by this news just after recording halfway.
Seeing Gu Chen's surprised face, He Shaoqing also waved his hands and said, "You don't have to be so surprised, we didn't know that place before, because the ancient blood jade with special symbols and totems handed down from our ancestors is not at all. It’s just a leftover picture.”
"Only by combining and sorting the symbols and totems of other tribes can we find out the specific location."
Taking a deep breath, He Shaoqing said again: "I don't have the ability to find the burial place, but Tessa can, so she emptied the treasures there a few years ago, and sent me some, just put them away In my warehouse."
"Ahem!" Coughing twice, He Shaoqing continued to explain:
"So, if Tessa committed murder and wounded people in Jiangnan City, I'm sure she wouldn't run around, and would definitely hide in that secret place."
"After all, I heard that the secret passage over there is a good hiding place, but I haven't been there yet."
"Oops." Hearing He Shaoqing's words, Lu Weiwei suddenly looked terrified, and reminded Gu Chen:
"Junior Brother Gu, Zhang Jinze has already passed away. This guy may have known where Tessa is for a long time. He must have been deceiving us before. He may also be one of the accomplices who killed Luo Wei."
"That's right." Gu Chen thought of the scene where Zhang Jinze hid by the office window and observed secretly when he was leading the team to leave, which seemed to be sneaky.
It can be seen that this guy is waiting for everyone to leave, and then to complete some unfinished things.
But what is the special relationship between Zhang Jinze and Tessa?Gu Chen is still unclear, but it is certain that the two of them are in collusion.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed Ding Liang's number.
Not long after, Ding Liang's phone was connected.
"Ding Liang, has anyone found it?" Gu Chen asked eagerly.
Ding Liang was speechless, and complained: "This place is very densely forested. It feels like there is no guide, and it is easy to get lost. We dare not venture in. We are still wandering around the edge of this back mountain. Why? Are you here to help? "
"That's it." Gu Chen thought about it for a few seconds, and then hurriedly said: "You call your patrol team immediately, and send more people over."
"I'm also notifying the three teams of the criminal investigation team to send people to support you. This Tessa may be hiding in the back mountain."
Taking a deep breath, seeing Ding Liang on the other end of the phone kept echoing, Gu Chen reminded again: "Don't rush in, because Tessa may have some unknown and highly toxic substance in her hands."
"The previous deceased died from this kind of poisonous needle, so you must pay attention to safety, don't rush into the mountain to search, block the surrounding roads, and wait for support."
"I understand." Ding Liang on the other end of the phone, hearing Gu Chen's tone, naturally knew that this matter was not easy to handle.
After a brief communication, the two also hung up the phone.
On the other side, Lu Weiwei also started to call the criminal investigation team, preparing to let the criminal investigation team deploy people to support Ding Liang's team.
After a brief communication with He Shaoqing, everyone rushed to the direction of the back mountain of Johnson Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
All of a sudden, people from all walks of life began to gather in the back mountain.
After Gu Chen notified Zhao Guozhi by phone, Zhao Guozhi immediately dispatched spare police officers from other departments, and asked He Junchao to carry drones and other investigative equipment to the area where the incident occurred.
When Gu Chen and the others arrived by car, all kinds of police cars were already parked on the side of the road.
He Junchao also waited there for a long time.
In the sky, several drones are circling non-stop, and it seems that they have searched several hills.
"Senior Brother He." After getting off the car, Gu Chen hurried to He Junchao's side and asked, "How is it?"
"Can you send some more police dogs over?" He Junchao also said with a big head.
