criminal mentality

Chapter 286 The situation is becoming clear

The total volume of these two gold bricks is about 1 cubic decimeter, and they weigh 15 kilograms. The most outstanding thing is that their carvings are exquisite. You can tell that they are old things at a glance. It was produced, but the color of the gold bricks is dull. This kind of darkness is not caused by the old and oxidized gold. Instead, it seems that the color of the gold is impure and other things are added.

The police were not sure about the origin of the two gold bricks, so they directly handed them over to an archaeological institution in the provincial capital for identification.The reason why Miao Dejiang was killed was also clearly explained by Li Changsheng. It turned out that Miao Dejiang had paid some money to ask Li Changsheng's wife to help him cook some extra meals he liked because of his greed. When I came to his house to buy things, I was considered a regular customer. Second, I thought that I could earn money anyway, so I asked my wife to do it for nothing. Miao Dejiang didn't go back, and the two directly had a drink at Li Changsheng's house.But he never thought that this meal directly planted the root cause of Miao Dejiang's death.

As long as Miao Dejiang is drunk, there is no one to tell the truth. When he drank too much at Li Changsheng's house, he opened up the chatterbox and said everything. He said that two years ago, during the construction of the tunnel in Yunshuishan, deep in the tunnel The gold was dug up. At that time, he was on the night shift at the site. The workers who drilled the tunnel inside were running wildly and shouting. He went in out of curiosity and took a look. The golden light all over the place blinded his dog under the reflection of the searchlight. In the blink of an eye, he had only one thought, take the gold and run away.

It was his thought that saved his life in the end. Miao Dejiang was not a particularly greedy person. He picked up two gold bricks closest to him, turned around and ran away. Anyway, there was no gold in this place, so he secretly What's wrong with taking something unowned?He had a good idea, to go down the mountain to hide the gold, and then go back to work without anyone noticing, but before he could go back, he heard a loud noise from the mountain, and the earth shook violently. With work experience, Miao Dejiang knew that something must have happened on the construction site, so he didn't dare to go back immediately, but carefully slipped back to City V with the gold.

The next day, he learned the news that a landslide occurred at the construction site and all personnel were killed.When he got home, his wife had already received his death compensation. For the sake of money, he could only live in such a poor mountain valley with his name hidden.

To say that Miao Dejiang is actually a little clever, something strange happened on the construction site, they didn't even dig up the body, and the compensation was paid within a few days. All kinds of things are weird, so Miao Dejiang stayed With a mind, he didn't show the gold bricks to anyone, including his wife.

Unexpectedly, drinking too much made a mistake, and eventually he was poisoned to death by Li Changsheng, who listened carefully, and stole the "treasure" he had been hiding in a movable wall brick in the toilet.

While waiting for the conclusion of the archaeological agency's appraisal, Wen Mo unexpectedly received another call from a mysterious man.

It was still after nine o'clock in the evening, Qi Ran and Wen Mo were taking care of the phone, and an unfamiliar number called Wen Mo again.

After picking it up, the man lowered his voice and only said three things to Wen Mo.

The first thing: Lu Minghao is now in Anding Hospital, and his life is safe. He once got a map about the treasure in his hand, and the marked location is Yunshuishan.

The second thing is that there is a prison cell in the cave in Yunshui Mountain. Hundreds of middle-aged men are locked in the cell, and the guards have guns.

The third thing is that there was a problem with the landslide accident in Yunshui Mountain more than two years ago, which should be artificially caused by the detonation of explosives.

"Who are you? Why are you telling me this?"

"I don't trust anyone in City V, but you are from above, and you don't look like a bad person. I am willing to help you. Of course, I believe you now know that the water in City V is very deep. If you are afraid It's okay, I'll still do what I have to do." Just when Wen Mo thought the man would hang up the phone after she asked a question like last time, the man said in a low voice.

This man reminded himself twice that he did not have any purpose, but Wen Mo always believed that there is no free lunch in this world, a man must have something to ask for, and as long as what he asks does not threaten Wen Mo to solve the case, she is happy to accept his offer help.

In the end, the identification of the archaeological institution in the provincial capital came out, and those researchers came to V city from the provincial capital excitedly overnight, asking the public security bureau where the gold bricks were dug out.

The carvings on these two gold bricks have distinct style characteristics of the late Tang Dynasty. In ancient my country, gold products could be smelted and processed in the early Xia Dynasty, and it was the most prosperous in the Tang Dynasty. Although the carvings on the two gold bricks have some The majestic features of the Tang Dynasty are a bit twilight and not noble enough. It should be a work after the decline of national power in the late Tang Dynasty. The Later Han Dynasty was an inconspicuous stage in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. From this perspective, the two pieces of gold The production time of brick is about 1000 years ago.

Besides, the fineness of gold bricks, under modern metallurgical technology, thousands of gold and thousands of gold can be found everywhere, that is to say, the purity of gold is as high as 99.9999%. It can reach a mere 99%, and most of them are around 90%. This has to be the late Tang Dynasty.The purity of these two gold bricks is about 90%, and the date of C-14 isotope determination is also concluded to be about 1050 years ago.

All kinds of signs indicate that these two gold bricks are likely to be the treasures of the legendary Emperor Yin of the Later Han Dynasty!Could it be that the legend in Yunshui Mountain is actually true?
Wen Mo finds it unbelievable to think about it. Looking at the history of 5000 years, it is normal for aristocrats of aristocratic families to have funerary objects after death, but if you dare to accompany them, don’t be afraid that I will dare to steal them. The behavior of the ancestral graves directly kills without pardon, but there is a good saying that people die for money, and the temptation of funeral objects cannot be resisted. In addition, once the dynasty changes, the mausoleum of the former royal family can be completely preserved. How many years are there?After death, the funerary objects were looted or light, and there were some whose corpses were flogged.

So Wenmo didn't take the treasure in Yunshui Mountain to heart at all from the beginning. She always thought that Yunshui Mountain was tricky, but she didn't expect it to be so big that it turned out to be a treasure.

But in this way, all the cases that happened in Yunshui Mountain have a reasonable explanation.

Because the construction team dug up the treasure while excavating the tunnel, in order to prevent the secret from being leaked, some people with ulterior motives killed people to silence them. All members of the construction team on Yunshui Mountain died. Only Miao Dejiang survived and brought out the ironclad evidence of the gold brick. .

It was because Lu Minghao got a map in his hand that they had a trip to Yunshuishan, and the place they intruded inadvertently happened to be the place where the group secretly mined treasures. Also in order to prevent the secret from being leaked, Mr. Fang and his party were arrested and could not go free.

But there are two doubts here.First: Why is there such a big discrepancy between the time of death and the time of disappearance of everyone Fang and his party plus Ma Nianyuan?Wenmo had seen Ma Nianyuan's body with her own eyes. Even if she didn't trust the forensic doctor of the V City Public Security Bureau, she still believed in the eyes of her years of dealing with dead bodies as a policeman. These people must have died not long ago. What have they been doing for a week or so?What reason does the murderer have to imprison them?

Second: Why was Lu Minghao the only one who survived and was hid in Anding Hospital by the murderer after all his efforts? What is so special about him?
It's a pity that Wen Mo didn't think that the people in the Public Security Bureau of City V would believe the news that the mysterious man called him. If he rashly alerted Anding Hospital, he might not have brought anyone from the Public Security Bureau on his side, and Lu Minghao on the other side It has been transferred without a trace.

Let us turn our attention to Anding Hospital.

Brother Zhou paced back and forth angrily. He had already settled the problem with Jinhang. The gold-encrusted jade Buddha statue with one finger had been refurbished, and the evidence had been destroyed in a blast furnace at several hundred degrees. Brother Zhou was still angry after all. These people originally thought that they would not dare to stab their wives and children in their hands. Unexpectedly, I did not expect that he was pecked at the eye by an eagle all day long. How dare someone cut off his finger and stuff it into a Buddha statue that has just been made and has not yet been inlaid together while others are not paying attention, and this Buddha statue is actually sold!

Brother Zhou picked up the gauze-wrapped right hand in front of him, the dull-eyed, skinny man, and slapped him mercilessly with his free hand: "Damn it, little bastard, dare to confront me and say, is it a family?" Don't want your life anymore?"

There was a sneering smile on the man's face as thin as a skeleton: "Could it be that if we are honest, you can let us live? Isn't third uncle honest enough? Is Ah Jian honest enough? They are more dead than me It's early."

"You, you, ok, ok, you've grown up, since you've lived enough, then go die!" Brother Zhou waved his hand, and two people immediately came out behind him and pulled the injured man down.

It seems that these people can't stay anymore. The people above have told them to start preparations and prepare to evacuate at any time. They have committed too many crimes in V city, and it is impossible to settle them no matter how much money is spent. Moreover, the inspection team of the provincial party committee has already stationed here In the city, if they still made a big fuss recklessly, it was simply because they thought they didn't die fast enough.

Brother Zhou lit a cigarette and took a puff. As the smoke rose, his vision gradually became confused. Ever since he received the first sum of money from Aunt Xue, he knew that he had no way out. He is earning more and more money, but he still can't sleep at night. He always dreams that he is put in bright handcuffs and taken to the execution ground. Every time he dreams back at midnight, he is drenched in cold sweat, almost like a nightmare.

There is no turning back when you open the bow, even if there is no way ahead, you have to fight your way!
