"It was definitely not done by a Qinshan local!" Li Xiusheng said to Zhao Yu with certainty. But after he said that, he immediately realized that he had let the cat out of the bag, and his face grew even more ghastly.
"Why?" Zhao Yu quickly asked, "Qinshan is a thousand-year-old ancient city. There must be many grave robbers, right?"
"It's not like that …" Li Xiusheng sighed, then said, "To be honest, if the local had touched the prefect's tomb, I would have heard some news! But, I asked, and no one admitted to it! So, from what I see, this group of grave robbers must be from somewhere else! "
"Tsk tsk …" Zhao Yu said with pity, "So, the batch of cultural relics could have been transported to somewhere else to be disposed of?"
"That … Not necessarily!" Li Xiusheng said again, "Even if they were from somewhere else, it would be impossible for them to transport such a large batch of cultural relics under my watch, mm … Without my knowledge!"
"Yo?!"
Zhao Yu couldn't help but look at Li Xiusheng carefully. He saw that Li Xiusheng was wearing a casual Tang suit, with slanted eyebrows and a square face. Although he was older, his cheeks were rosy and he looked hale and hearty.
It seemed that Li Mengqi was right. Li Xiusheng was no ordinary person.
"I never thought that I would find the right person!" Zhao Yu rolled up his sleeves and urged, "Then, tell me, where would the cultural relics be hidden? Also, are those people professional? Where could they have come from? And, why did they kill people? And, why did they hide people in coffins? "
"Huh? Coffins? It can't be? " This time, Li Xiusheng was surprised too. He quickly said, "Police officer, don't rush … Mm …" He thought about it seriously, then said, "Why don't we do this? I'm going all out too! If you want me to help you, let me go to the crime scene to take a look. Also, tell me the process of the murder case! Let me see if I can find anything. "
Good idea!
Zhao Yu thought to himself. Sometimes, solving such cases was like this. Instead of consulting the official experts, it was more appropriate to find a veteran criminal!
Li Xiusheng, who was standing in front of him, was obviously a person who knew about tombs and cultural relics. Not only did he understand the market, but he also knew a lot of insider information about the industry. If he could help, it would be great!
"But …" Seeing that Zhao Yu nodded, Li Xiusheng quickly cupped his fists and said, "Police officer, we have to keep our promise. I can give you the treasure in your arms! But as long as I can help you solve the case, I hope you won't go back on your word! In the future … "
"No problem!" Zhao Yu nodded and said, "The more enemies there are, the more walls there are. To be able to make a friend like you, Big Boss Li, I can't ask for more! Hehehe … "
As he spoke, Zhao Yu patted the baby in his arms with a beaming smile.
"Alright! Then … "Li Xiusheng pointed at his car, then gestured to the outside.
Zhao Yu understood that there was something in Li Xiusheng's car, so he naturally couldn't drive the BMW to Yunyang to see the tombs. So, Zhao Yu quickly got out of the car and said, "Come, my car is outside. Let's go in my car!"
Li Xiusheng then looked for his wife and gave her some instructions. Then, he sat in the front passenger seat of Zhao Yu's car, and the two of them went to Yunyang County together.
On the way, Zhao Yu talked to Li Xiusheng indirectly. However, Li Xiusheng was also a wily old fox, so he gave him a watertight reply. He didn't take the initiative to admit that he was a professional reseller of cultural relics.
In order not to miss out on any information, Zhao Yu showed Li Xiusheng the photos of the Female Corpse in Ancient Costume Case, and asked him if he knew of a woman with the nickname "Gege."
Li Xiusheng said that he didn't know. But, through the photos, he recognized that it was the Female Corpse in Ancient Costume at the Qinhe Bridge. So, it could be seen how sensational the case was in Qinshan City back then.
"Velvet embroidered jacket with big sleeves!" Li Xiusheng pointed at the clothes on the female corpse and said, "It's the Han women's clothing from the late Qing Dynasty. There are red flowers embroidered on the clothes, so it should be a wedding gift for a woman! There are many collections of such clothes among the people, so it doesn't necessarily have to be a funerary object that was dug out from a grave! "
Awesome! Awesome!
Zhao Yu nodded silently. It seemed that Li Xiusheng was really a master. He didn't see the real thing, but just looked at the photos, and he was able to say exactly the same thing as the experts.
"Police officer, why are you showing me this?" Li Xiusheng was puzzled. "This is a case from eighteen years ago. Are you investigating it? How else can you investigate this? "
"I have no choice," Zhao Yu made up a story. "It's because I am such a bad boy! I have to be in charge of cases related to tombs and cultural relics. Sigh! "
"It can't be? The criminal police are also in charge of cultural relics? "Li Xiusheng didn't believe him.
"No! You don't understand! " Zhao Yu said. "As long as there are no dead people, the tombs and cultural relics are under the care of the Cultural Protection Department. But if there are dead people, it's different. They are in my hands. Do you understand? The higher-ups gave me a death order to solve the case. If I can't solve it, I will bite people like a mad dog. Whoever I bite will be punished! "
Zhao Yu's words really scared Li Xiusheng. No matter what profession they were in, they were all afraid of such a shameless mad dog!
Zhao Yu drove fast. After two hours, the two of them arrived at the scene of the ancient tomb. By then, the dead bodies had naturally been cleaned up. But, there were still a large number of archaeologists who were carrying out regular excavation work.
What surprised Zhao Yu was that when he was about to enter the tomb, he suddenly saw Fu Jianxing from the Moyang Branch! He saw Fu Jianxing discussing something with a few white-haired old men. They seemed to be discussing something related to the tomb.
It's him!?
Zhao Yu suddenly saw Fu Jianxing there. He couldn't help but feel strange. At this time, it seemed strange that he was investigating the crime scene.
Could it be … Fu Jianxing had some new clues?
When Fu Jianxing saw Zhao Yu, he had the same feeling. He didn't even greet Zhao Yu, but pulled the old experts and left from the side.
Tsk tsk …
Ghost …
Zhao Yu squinted his eyes and stared at Fu Jianxing's back. He felt that something was not right.
Unexpectedly, when he turned around and was about to enter the tomb, he suddenly saw that Master Li Xiusheng wasn't in a hurry to enter the tomb. Instead, he found a mound that was higher up and stood at the top, looking at something!
"Master Li, what's wrong?" Seeing Li Xiusheng's strange expression, Zhao Yu asked curiously.
However, Li Xiusheng didn't answer. He just shook his head and followed Zhao Yu to the entrance of the tomb. When they entered the tomb, Zhao Yu began to tell Li Xiusheng about the situation at that time, such as where the dead bodies were lying, and how tragic their deaths were …
Li Xiusheng listened to Zhao Yu, while he observed the cultural relics that were being cleaned up by the archaeologists. He looked very carefully, and he even checked the robber's hole carefully. He almost went in himself.
But, as he examined the tomb, Li Xiusheng's expression became more and more complicated …
In the end, just as Zhao Yu was showing him the remains of the tomb owner, which only had a pile of bones left in the coffin, Li Xiusheng suddenly thought of something. He quickly opened his mouth wide and said with a trembling voice,
