Another clue was the woman who pretended to be Bo Yuxue and checked out of the hotel. The task force was also looking for the relevant surveillance video to try to find her identity and whereabouts. This step was not difficult. Since the woman pretended to be Bo Yuxue and checked out of the hotel, she must have entered the hotel in advance. When she entered the hotel, she must have kept her original appearance. Through the way she entered the hotel, it was not difficult to find her.
After Li Rui listened, he felt that all the known clues pointed to the security guard captain. Could it be that Bo Yuxue's disappearance was related to him? But the woman who pretended to be Bo Yuxue and checked out of the hotel was another woman. That woman had not been identified yet, and now there was another suspect. How could this case be solved? But then again, the more suspects, the better. With more clues, they could investigate one by one and eventually find the real culprit.
At around two o 'clock in the afternoon, the people from the Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau drove to Shuanghe. There were two people, one man and one woman. The man was not a stranger, but the vice-captain of the Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau's archaeological team, Captain Cao, who led the team to excavate the Han tomb at Xiaoling Mountain in Longwangmiao Village of Hanshui County. He was an old acquaintance of Li Rui. Three years had passed, and he was almost 60 years old. Half of his hair and beard had turned white, but he was still hale and hearty.
Li Rui did not expect him to rush over. When he saw him, he was surprised and happy. After all, they had drunk at the same table before. He shook hands with him intimately and exchanged pleasantries. Captain Cao did not expect that he would be the one who took the initiative to hand over the national treasure. After listening to him briefly, he sighed. "Wherever you are, there will be national treasures unearthed. You are the real national treasure!"
When Li Rui saw him, he could not help but think of his former subordinate and student, Fang Zhitong. About four years ago, Fang Zhitong left the Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau and Qingyang City. She returned to Beijing to inherit her father's legacy. Since the day she left, she had not contacted Li Rui. It was as if she had disappeared from the face of the earth. Now that Li Rui saw her old superior, he naturally wanted to ask if the other party had seen her. But after thinking about it, he decided not to ask. Fang Zhitong didn't even contact him, so why would she contact him?
Li Rui led Captain Cao to the guest house and went straight to the tailgate of his car.
At first, Captain Cao didn't take it seriously, but then he thought of something and his face changed. He went over and shouted, "Brother, you can't be serious. You actually put a world-class treasure like the Buddha's sarira in the car so casually? Even a BMW won't do! "
Li Rui opened the trunk with a smile and said, "Why not? Who would know that I have Buddha's relics in my car? "
Captain Cao said, "What if a thief knocks on your car window and accidentally finds Buddha's relic?"
Li Rui laughed and pointed at Shi Han inside. "There's no 'what if'."
When Captain Cao saw Shi Han, the smile on his face disappeared and his expression became serious. Li Rui moved the Shi Han out and put it near the back of the car. He waved his hand and said, "The Buddha's relics are inside."
Captain Cao's expression was serious. His eyes were focused, and his breathing seemed to have stopped. He entered a very mysterious state. Then, he stretched out his hands and gently opened the lid of the Shi Han. When he saw the three Buddha's relics shining with colorful light, he was so excited that his arms trembled.
"Is it true, Elder Cao?" The female subordinate that Captain Cao brought over looked at him with suspicion.
Captain Cao didn't answer. He put the lid aside and took out a magnifying glass from his pocket. He bent down and looked at the three relics carefully. After looking at them, he said with emotion, "I didn't expect that Qingyang City could have Buddha's relics. It's really a place of heavenly treasures!"
The female subordinate said, "Then it's true? Let me see. "
Captain Cao laughed, stepped aside, and handed the magnifying glass to her. Then he eagerly said to Li Rui, "You know, in 2006, I also led a team to the ruins of Qingtai Temple to excavate. My purpose was also to find the national treasure level Buddha's Sarira recorded in the Buddhist classics, but I got the same result as the countless archaeological teams before me. I even suspected that the records were fake, but I didn't expect it to be real. I also didn't expect that the three of them would be found by you, a person who doesn't know anything about archaeology. It's really luck and fate, I'm convinced!" He couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.
Li Rui smiled and said, "You can take the Buddha's relics back to the city now. I only have one request."
Captain Cao raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Oh? What request? With your current status, you're definitely not asking for a reward, right? "
Li Rui shook his head with a smile and said, "Of course not. My request is that these three pieces of Buddha's sarira must be handed over to our city's Cultural Relics Bureau or the museum. They must not be snatched away by Professor Wang or any other organization."
Li Rui's request seemed to be a little narrow-minded. After all, Buddha's relics were national treasures. They belonged to both Qingyang City and the country. It didn't matter where they were stored. However, Li Rui didn't want the national treasures that he had risked his life to find to be taken away by other people or organizations in the name of the country. Since they were unearthed from Qingyang City, they must be kept in Qingyang City! Qingyang City already had few resources from various sources. How could they let other places take away their treasures?
Captain Cao was stunned and then smiled bitterly. "I don't have the final say on this. However, I'll try my best to protect them and try to keep them in Qingyang City!"
After the handover, Captain Cao and Captain Cao shook hands with Li Rui and said goodbye. They then drove back to the city's Cultural Relics Bureau with the relics. Before leaving, Captain Cao asked Li Rui to look for him when he returned to the city. He wanted to treat Li Rui, the person who had unearthed the national treasures, to a drink.
Not long after returning to the office, Li Rui unexpectedly received a call from Yu Hongwei. He didn't know if he didn't answer, but after hearing it, it was as if he was struck by lightning. He was dumbstruck.
He was dumbstruck. Actually, Li Rui's father-in-law, Lu Zhouxing, wanted to call Li Rui. However, Lu Zhouxing was too busy with work and didn't have the time. Therefore, he asked Yu Hongwei to inform Li Rui. Yu Hongwei said on the phone that Wen Tianlong, the secretary general of the provincial party, was investigated for breaking the law. During the investigation in Jingnan, someone wrote an anonymous letter to the investigation team. The letter mentioned a major traffic accident that happened on Jinggang Expressway in Qingyang City. It stated that the person who was arrested and sentenced as the car owner was not the real culprit. The real culprit was Wen Tianlong's son, Wen Xiaolong. At that time, Wen Tianlong found someone to take the blame to protect his son. As a result, the truth of the accident was concealed for nearly four years.
After the investigation team learned of this situation, they confirmed it with Wen Tianlong. Not only did Wen Tianlong admit it, but he also dragged people into the water. He claimed that the main leader of the Qingyang Municipal Party Committee was also covering up for his son and was even the "mastermind". "He took the initiative to tell me that the car owner was my son. His words sounded like he was covering up for his son. He also reminded me to think of ways to help my son escape punishment." The investigation team came from the capital. Although they had a high rank, they could not investigate and deal with the provincial and municipal leaders. Therefore, they reported this situation to the main leader of the provincial party.
The two main leaders discussed for a while. Since it was a situation reported by the investigation team, they could not ignore it. Therefore, they handed this matter over to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. They asked the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to send an investigation team to Qingyang City to verify with the main leader of the Qingyang Municipal Party Committee, Song Chaoyang. It was estimated that the investigation team from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection would arrive in Qingyang City by tomorrow morning at the latest. It was foreseeable that if this matter was true, Song Chaoyang would not be able to continue being the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. If he had other violations of the law, his fate would be even worse.
Lu Zhouxing's intention in telling Li Rui this in advance was not to let Li Rui find Song Chaoyang to form an alliance and let Song Chaoyang find an excuse to deny it. Instead, he wanted Li Rui to be mentally prepared for the possibility that Song Chaoyang might fall.
Li Rui's mind was in a mess after hearing this. His mind was in a mess, but he could not find the center of it. His thoughts were in a mess for a long time before he realized that the call was not hung up. He said angrily to Yu Hongwei on the other end of the phone, "How could Wen Tianlong do this? Did he take the wrong medicine? Even if Song Shuji went against his conscience and public morals, he was really good to the Wen father and son. This is a great kindness. Why did he bite Song Shuji? What's wrong? Now that he's finished, he can't bear to see others doing well and wants to drag others down with him? "
Yu Hongwei lowered his voice and said, "No, I heard that the reason Wen Tianlong bit Song Shuji was because he felt that the anonymous report letter was written by Song Shuji. Therefore, he went all out to admit his guilt and drag Song Shuji down with him."
Li Rui was so angry that he almost cursed out loud. He said, "If Wen Tianlong thinks like this, then he's the biggest bastard in the world! Doesn't he know how Song Shuji treated him? Even if Secretary Huang retired, Song Shuji has always respected and loved him. How could he kick him when he's down? "
Yu Hongwei said, "You don't know, but Song Shuji did too well in Qingyang. His achievements were outstanding. Both Secretary Huang and your father-in-law often praised him in public. Therefore, there was a rumor that he would be promoted and return to the provincial government after his term ended. Wen Tianlong might have been influenced by this rumor and believed that Song Shuji wanted to mess with him. After he was removed, he vacated his position as the provincial government's secretary-general and Song Shuji was naturally promoted to the provincial government. That's what he thought. Naturally, he wanted to drag Song Shuji down with him. It's a blatant revenge. "
Li Rui was so angry that his nose was about to become crooked. If he could grab Wen Tianlong in front of him right now, he would definitely slap him a few hundred times. He wouldn't feel any heartache even if all his teeth were knocked out. However, when he thought about how his old leader, who had supported and cared for him for four years, who was also his teacher and friend, and who was also his father and brother, was about to fall into trouble, he felt as if a knife was being twisted in his heart.
