"Yes … and no." Bao Xing also had some misgivings. She looked like a mummy, and her appearance was very different from Lu Yue-er's. If he were to say that it didn't seem like it, then he felt a sense of déjà vu.
"Bao Xing, what do you think?"
"It's fine if you want me to look at antiques, but I can't compare to you when it comes to judging people." Wang Qingsheng poured a cup of tea for himself. "You don't say. This tea is not bad. Compared to the tea we drank in the teahouse, the quality is better."
"Uncle, where are you going?"
Of course, he couldn't say it like that.
"In their words, anything that can be solved with money isn't a problem at all. Why find trouble for yourself and get yourself into trouble for nothing?"
It was too f * cking weird.
Han Bin guessed, "I've never heard of a leopard cat swapping a crown prince. They want to exchange a fake corpse for a real one. This way, they can successfully pass the carbon 14 test and sell the ancient corpse for a high price."
"That's just my guess, but I think it's more likely. After all, people are tempted by benefits."
"Don't try to fool me. You can't take care of me when you're busy investigating."
"That female corpse of the Han Dynasty is famous in the antique circle of Qin Island. How can I not go and take a look after such a big thing happened? Besides, do you know how to appraise the authenticity of ancient corpses? "
Wang Qingsheng understood. "Brother Bin, according to what you're saying, the female body in the museum might have been swapped."
Qin Island Museum.
"Sure."
"Swapping a leopard for a crown prince can eliminate these two hidden dangers."
Han Bin analyzed, "I think there should be two reasons. First, the body was stolen from the museum, and the museum will definitely report it to the police. This body is the property of the state, and the police will investigate it heavily. How can the suspect not be afraid?"
Han Bin said seriously, "That's a good idea. Lu Yue-er's parents might be able to recognize it. But I can't do that. "
"Why?" Bao Xing asked. "We're here to help them investigate the case, but they're not willing to cooperate?"
"Because of the climate, there aren't many ancient corpses unearthed here. Whether it's selling ancient corpses or collecting ancient corpses, it's rare. Speaking of collecting ancient corpses, there are many unearthed in the northwest. The climate is dry, so it's easy to preserve them. "Wang Qingsheng took a sip of tea and continued.
"Bang!" The door slammed shut.
Han Bin said seriously, "Can you guarantee that? If you can guarantee it, I will go at once. However, if something really happens, it has nothing to do with the police. "
Han Bin said, "We're here today to find out if this report is true."
Wang Qingsheng took another sip of tea. "In your eyes, it's a corpse, but in their eyes, it's a culture, a cultural relic left over thousands of years. It's the evidence of the existence of an era and the testimony of human history."
"Uncle, do you know the person in charge here? I want to communicate with the museum. "
After a while, the staff invited the deputy director of the museum.
Lai Jianhua was stunned for a moment. "That's impossible. Why didn't I know about this? If the museum was robbed, our staff would have found out immediately."
"There's nothing wrong with the dead woman."
"Then how do we tell?"
"Captain Han, what do you think we should do?"
"There's absolutely no problem."
After entering the museum, Han Bin didn't contact the person in charge of the museum. Instead, he bought a ticket to visit the Han Exhibition Hall. The female corpse was from the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was said that she was a princess from Lu. Based on the scale of the burial, the princess was very favored when she was alive. Based on the unearthed documents, the female corpse should have passed away during the reign of Emperor Ling.
"The richer you are, the more afraid you are of death. This saying isn't just for show."
"Oh … This Han Dynasty female corpse is the treasure of our museum. You just said that it might have been replaced. I was shocked. But thinking about it carefully, this is impossible. The museum is closed at night, and there are surveillance cameras and security guards. How could it be stolen? "
Han Bin put down his teacup. "We received a report from an informant that your museum might have been robbed."
Why would he make things difficult for himself?
"Phew …" Lai Jianhua let out a long sigh. "How about this, please wait for a moment. I'll go out and take a look."
"Yes."
Han Bin frowned. Since Lai Jianhua said so, it wouldn't be good for him to ask the museum to open the incubator. He didn't think he was worth that much.
"That's impossible. You saw it just now. The female corpse is still there. How could it be stolen?"
Han Bin reached out and shook hands with him. "Hello, Curator Lai."
Wang Qingsheng replied, "It's not a matter of cooperation, but the preservation of ancient corpses is very particular. Temperature, humidity, brightness, and so on. Any abnormality may affect the ancient corpse. After all, it's an ancient object from thousands of years ago. To put it bluntly, what if it's damaged? The police can't afford it. "
Han Bin coughed lightly. "I think the same as you."
"Go ahead."
Lai Jianhua poured tea for the three and made a gesture. "Please enjoy."
Bao Xing didn't answer the question. "Let Captain Han tell you personally."
"Uncle, you said that fake ancient corpses are hard to sell. Is the female corpse in the Qindao Museum easy to sell?"
Bao Xing: "…"
Han Bin saw the female corpse with his own eyes. It was placed in a transparent glass case. She was wearing a traditional Chinese dress and had a jade ornament on her head. However, the corpse was already dried. Han Bin didn't know if it was because of his first impression, but he felt that the female corpse was somewhat similar to Lu Yuee.
Lai Jianhua couldn't guarantee it. He was just the deputy curator. If the museum really lost something and he chased the police away, he would have to take responsibility.
"According to the informant, the stolen object is likely a Han Dynasty female corpse."
"Captain Han, our museum naturally has a way to detect it. Besides, if the museum really lost something, how can I not be worried? You don't have to come to the museum. I will personally go to the police station to report it. "
"Uncle, what do you think?"
Han Bin glanced at his watch. "Let's go to the museum."
After a while, the door opened from the outside. Lai Jianhua walked in with a faint smile on his face. "Captain Han, I just went to check. There's nothing wrong with the Han Dynasty corpse. It was a false alarm."
Han Bin laughed awkwardly. Alright, he really couldn't care less.
Han Bin thought for a while. "Han Dynasty female corpse?"
Han Bin asked. "Curator Lai, why are you sweating so much all of a sudden?"
Han Bin nodded. He also felt that this Curator Lai was a bit strange.
"This …" Lai Jianhua was stunned again. There were so many items in the museum. It would be a big project to check them. "It shouldn't be that bad."
"As far as I know, there is only one famous Han Dynasty female corpse in the Qindao Museum. That female corpse and the cultural relics buried with it are worth at least tens of millions. "
Han Bin looked at Wang Qingsheng next to him and thought to himself that he was stupid. Wasn't there a ready-made expert?
"Unless the police have full confidence, they won't easily open the insulated cabinet."
"No, no, absolutely impossible. How could this happen?" Lai Jianhua quickly denied. His forehead was suddenly covered in sweat.
"Yes, it's from the Han Dynasty. I even went to the Qindao Museum to see it. The corpse has already been dried. There were a lot of jade buried with it. It's very beautiful. "
"Uncle, what do you think?"
"That's for sure. If that ancient corpse is sold, the collectors who love ancient corpses will definitely fight for it. It won't be surprising if it can be sold for tens of millions."
Lai Jianhua asked. "What's the matter? Why did the two of you come here?"
The Qindao Museum covered a large area. It was divided into seven halls. The museum wasn't divided according to the type of cultural relics, but according to the era.
Lai Jianhua nodded and followed Bao Xing.
Wang Qingsheng thought for a bit. "Those who can collect ancient corpses are all rich and powerful. They don't care if we buy them with money, but I don't think they would steal them. People like them don't want to get into this kind of trouble."
Bao Xing asked in a low voice. "Captain Han, when you mentioned the Eastern Han Dynasty female corpse, this Curator Lai's expression clearly changed. Is there a problem?"
"Captain Han, what do you think?"
"No problem, please follow me." Lai Jianhua brought Han Bin and the other two to the lounge and personally brewed a pot of Longjing tea for the three.
If he wasn't smart, why would Han Bin bring him here?
"But if they switch, it's very likely that no one will know. As long as the people in the museum don't find out, they don't have to worry about being tracked down by the police. "
Bao Xing nodded and quickly found a museum staff member and showed him his police badge.
"Captain Han, this is the museum's deputy curator, Mr. Lai Jianhua."
"We can only open the identification." Wang Qingsheng pouted. "But I don't think the person in charge here will agree."
"Comrade, I'm the museum's deputy curator, Lai Jianhua. I heard that you have something to talk to me about?"
Bao Xing asked. "If they want the female corpse in the museum, they can just steal it. Why do they have to switch it with a fake corpse?"
"It's understandable that we can't recognize it. After all, we only saw Lu Yuee's photo. We haven't seen Lu Yuee in person. But Lu Yuee's parents are different. They might be able to recognize this mummy as Lu Yuee. "
Wang Qingsheng could be considered an expert, so bringing him along might be useful. Han Bin smiled. "I'll treat you to lunch."
Bao Xing took a bag and poured the rest of the nuts into it. "Uncle Wang, I brought some nuts for you to eat on the way. Can you tell me more about the antique circle?"
The three got in the car and went straight to the Qin Island Museum.
Bao Xing also agreed with Han Bin's analysis. He gave him a thumbs up. "Captain Han, you're the best. We've been investigating for so long, but we still don't know the suspect's purpose. You went straight to the root of the problem."
Bao Xing hesitated for a moment. "Captain Han, I have an idea, but I don't know if it's suitable."
Lai Jianhua asked, "Did the informant say anything else? For example, what was stolen? "
Wang Qingsheng drank the tea in his cup. "Let's go. I'll go with you."
"Sorry for neglecting you," Lai Jianhua said and quickly walked out of the lounge.
Han Bin glanced at the surrounding tourists. "Curator Lai, it's best if we can talk in a quiet environment."
"Hello, Curator Lai. I'm Bao Xing from the Municipal Public Security Bureau's Criminal Investigation Unit. Captain Han wants to talk to you." Bao Xing made an inviting gesture.
Han Bin nodded and said to Bao Xing, "Bao Xing, go and invite the person in charge of the museum."
"Secondly, my uncle just said that those rich and powerful people don't want to get into trouble. Once the museum's corpse is stolen, the police will vigorously investigate the matter, and the collectors will definitely be afraid. They won't even dare to buy the stolen goods. Who will they sell it to? "
"Captain Han, you're saying that someone is after the museum's female corpse?" Bao Xing said and felt that something was wrong. "But they can just steal it. Why would they want to get two more corpses?"
"Hello, Captain Han." Lai Jianhua greeted him and asked, "Why are you here at our museum?"
Han Bin subconsciously said, "Rich people are afraid of death, but poor people are not necessarily afraid."
"Thank you." Han Bin took a sip of tea. The tea had a refreshing fragrance, and the taste was very good.
Han Bin asked, "Since those collectors like ancient corpses so much, has anyone had any ideas about the museum's Han Dynasty female corpse?"
"I know the previous person in charge, but he is no longer working at the museum. I'm not familiar with the new person."
Wang Qingsheng was stunned for a moment. He was just an antique street vendor. How could he know the museum's person in charge?
"Curator Lai, our information is not groundless. For safety reasons, I hope you can investigate it."
"Kid, that's as good as not saying anything."
The Pre-Qin, Han, Sui and Tang, Song and Yuan, Ming and Qing, and Modern Times were displayed in six different exhibition halls. The seventh hall was a red hall, and it displayed some artifacts of outstanding people who made outstanding contributions to the unification and development of the country.
Wang Qingsheng grabbed a handful in his hand and smiled. "What a clever young man."
Wang Qingsheng touched his fat but no longer double chin. "I used to come to this museum often, and I've seen this Eastern Han Dynasty female corpse. It doesn't seem to have changed much. But, if it's really like what you said, and someone wants to swap a leopard cat for a crown prince, then it must be an expert in this field. As long as the appearance is similar, it won't be easy to tell. "
Han Bin changed the topic. "Could it be that the other artifacts were swapped?"
"Uncle, do you know the person who collected the ancient corpses?"
Lai Jianhua smiled and looked at Han Bin. "Captain Han, do you have a mission in our museum?"
"Curator Lai, how did you check it?"
Lu Yue-er's parents were too excited after seeing it. If any of the artifacts were damaged, Han Bin couldn't afford to pay for it, and he didn't want to take the risk.
"Don't worry, I haven't finished yet. According to the informant, the suspect not only stole the Han Dynasty female corpse, but also used a dried corpse to make it look like a female corpse. In other words, the female corpse lying in the incubator is likely to be fake. "
On the way, Wang Qingsheng talked about the identification of ancient corpses, and Han Bin learned a lot.
Bao Xing smacked his lips. "These collectors are really perverted. They spent tens of millions just to buy a corpse."
Wang Qingsheng couldn't help but praise. "Good tea."
