Six days later, Shanghai, Tianqin Building headquarters, in an underground room.
It was noon, but the dark underground room was dark and gloomy.
Other than Zeng Ke and Cui Lizhu, there were also a few managers of the building and an old employee of Tianqin Group leading the way for Zhao Yu.
"Have you seen Ant-Man?" While walking, Cui Lizhu was still showing off her skills to Zhao Yu. "He reminded me. In the end, I used a mini cracker and liquid nitrogen to open the safe!"
"Liquid nitrogen," Zhao Yu was speechless. "You call that opening? You call that destruction? I'm also quite curious. Is there a safe that the king of thieves and his daughter can't open? "
"Yes, there's plenty!" Cui Lizhu said bitterly. "If he could open any lock, he wouldn't be the king of thieves, but the god of thieves!
"Also, boss," Cui Lizhu pulled Zhao Yu's arm. "I've turned over a new leaf. Can you not call me the daughter of the king of thieves? I'm a meritorious member of our team, I need to have some dignity too! "
"Alright, alright, but …" Zhao Yu muttered. "There's an arm in the safe, that's …"
"What …" Cui Lizhu laughed. "Are you thinking about your Lost Hand Case again? I heard that the Lost Hand Case is the work that made you famous! "
"Actually," Zeng Ke could not help but say, "it shouldn't have anything to do with the Lost Hand Case. More accurately, it's half an arm! It was cut off from the elbow … "
Before this, Zhao Yu had already seen the photo. When Cui Lizhu had finally opened the safe, she had found half an arm in the safe!
But because it had been too long, the arm had become white bones, and the bones were black, making it look more like a human.
"Half an arm in the safe!" Zhao Yu said. "I can't believe there's such a thing in the world. Who would put someone's arm in a safe?"
"It's a long time ago," Zeng Ke explained. "The forensic doctor examined the arm, and it could be traced back to thirty years ago!"
"Thirty years ago?" Zhao Yu was stunned. "Was there a Tianqin Group at that time?"
"Yes," Zeng Ke replied. "But not in this building, and this building is only 15 years old!"
Cui Lizhu then said, "Boss, I thought about it before. This arm might belong to the owner of the safe! You put it in the safe as a souvenir, right? "
Zhao Yu was speechless.
"Don't laugh, I'm not joking! Look, "Xiao Cui said seriously." The owner of the safe had his arm chopped off because of a fight or debt, so he put his arm in the safe. Isn't that reasonable? "
While they were talking, Zhao Yu and the others arrived at a small room deep in the basement. The door was open, and there was a police seal on the door.
From the entrance, one could see that the cabin was not big, only about ten square meters. It was filled with all kinds of old junk, giving off a damp, rotten, moldy smell.
After entering, he saw an old and heavy safe in the middle of the room. The safe's outer layer had fallen off, and its original color could not be seen. However, there was no rust on the entire safe, so it was obviously not made of ordinary metal.
The safe was a medium-sized model. It wasn't too big, but it wasn't small either. It was about one meter high, so it could obviously hold a lot of things!
Zhao Yu turned on the flashlight and looked carefully, but there was nothing inside. The arm that had been found earlier had already been sent to the Shanghai Police Station's Forensics Department.
"When it was found," Zeng Ke said, "there was only half of the arm inside, and nothing else!"
"To be honest, I don't quite agree with Xiao Cui's speculation," Zeng Ke said. "If the owner of the safe was chopped off, why didn't he go to the hospital to reattach it?
Also, even if someone wanted to keep it as a souvenir, he should at least wrap it in something, right? But, the arm was placed inside the safe casually! "
"Pfft, what do you know?" Cui Lizhu said, "Thirty years ago … But, at that time, the medical conditions were not as advanced as they are now. You can't just cut off an arm and reattach it.
"Also, you don't know those gangsters. They have their own personalities!" Cui Lizhu gestured at her own arm. "Look, the arm was chopped off and thrown into the safe. Wouldn't they be shocked?"
"Shocked?" Zeng Ke took out his mobile phone and said, "Haven't you seen the test results yet? The owner of the arm is a woman! "
"Huh?" Cui Lizhu was stunned. "What? Woman … woman? A female boss? "
"Sigh, I don't want to talk to you!" Zeng Ke reported to Zhao Yu. "Team Leader, the owner of the arm should be a woman in her twenties!
"Peipei has been sent to the Missing Persons Department for comparison, but they didn't get a match!"
"The Missing Persons Department won't do," Cui Lizhu insisted. "Compare it with the database. The owner of the arm is likely to have a criminal record!"
"I know, I don't need you to tell me that!" Zeng Ke said impatiently. "I sent it yesterday! They should have finished checking by now, right?
"Since they didn't reply to my letter, did they not find a match?"
"These things …" Zhao Yu pointed at the safe. "Are they all from the Tianqin Group? Are they from the Zhu siblings? "
"No, it's the opposite!" Zeng Ke quickly explained. "We have already looked into its history. Since the building was built, it has been rented to hundreds of companies.
"Every time there is an update, some unwanted junk is thrown into the basement. These items are not recorded, so it will take some time to find out who this safe belongs to!"
"So …" Zhao Yu said. "Since it has nothing to do with the Tianqin Group, what does it have to do with our special investigation group?
Zhao Yu pointed at the safe and said, "If what Cui said is true, then this is not even a murder case!"
"Yes, I told them long ago!" Cui Lizhu deliberately leaned on Zhao Yu's shoulder and posed proudly. "Our boss is now the top detective in the country. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for our boss to investigate such a small case?"
"But …" Zhao Yu pinched his chin and said meaningfully, "The arm in this safe has been stored for 30 years. It's good to check it out for fun!"
"D * mn!" Cui Lizhu almost fell to the ground. "Boss, I put you on such a high pedestal. Why don't you just drop me? Why don't you take me to Disneyland and leave this small case to Zeng Ke? "
"You …" Zeng Ke was speechless.
However, Zhao Yu ignored Cui Lizhu. He pointed at a drag mark behind the safe and asked, "Was this safe pulled from the corner of the wall?"
"Yes, yes!" Cui Lizhu answered quickly. "It was to make it easier for me to open the lock!"
"Didn't I ask you to check the accounts?" Zhao Yu turned to ask Zeng Ke, "How did you find such a hidden place?"
"We didn't know at first that these things had nothing to do with the Tianqin Group!" Zeng Ke said. "I thought that we might find some important information in a hidden place!
So, I asked the detectives to search the building carefully, and then we found this place … "Zhao Yu said.
"It's a safe!" Zeng Ke pointed at the safe and said, "Of course there are important things inside. I didn't expect it to be half an arm! "
"Interesting …" Zhao Yu looked at the safe carefully again, then nodded and said, "It seems that there must be a story behind this safe and this arm.
"Well, I have nothing to do, so let's see what the story is!"
