Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 311: Tomb Robbery
In the interrogation room.

The atmosphere suddenly became very depressing. Luo Rui's heart trembled and he stared at Qian Hao.

On the other hand, Qian Hao had a smile on his face and wanted to lean back, but because his hands were tied in the interrogation chair, he could only lean forward, which made his posture very uncomfortable.

In the observation room, a large group of people were watching the surveillance video with grim expressions.

Yang Wen pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said suspiciously, "That's not right. I asked someone to go through all the old unsolved cases in detail, and there is no such thing as the death of the female victim in Shahe County!"

Zhao Changgen pondered and said, "It is also possible that Qian Hao has changed his crime pattern. On January 1 every year, are there any young women killed in Xijin City?"

Yang Wen shook his head: "Director Zhao, this is definitely not the case."

"That's strange." Zhao Changgen was also confused.

But at this moment, Qian Hao's voice suddenly rang out in the interrogation room: "Officer Luo, ask the police from Xijing City to come and talk to me."

Luo Rui raised his eyebrows: "I didn't expect that you still have a life-saving talisman."

Qian Hao coughed twice and said, "A cunning rabbit has three burrows. Everyone has their own secrets, you are the same, and so am I. However, I admit to the three cases in Shahe County."

"Okay!" Luo Rui asked the recorder to show him the written confession.

After Qian Hao’s confirmation, he signed and put his fingerprints on it.

After completing a set of procedures, Lin Chen packed up the materials. As soon as she and Luo Rui opened the door of the interrogation room, Yang Wen and his subordinates in police uniforms came in.

The two sides nodded to each other, and Luo Rui handed Qian Hao to them.

Lin Chen went aside and prepared to inform the Shahe County Bureau that the suspect had pleaded guilty and the confession was the most important evidence in court. No matter what tricks Qian Hao played, at least the case had been won.

As soon as Luo Rui walked out, he entered the observation room.

Yang Wen and an old criminal policeman sat in the interrogation chairs, staring at Qian Hao with sharp eyes.

After a moment of silence, Yang Wen said, "I am the captain of the First Brigade of the Xijing City Criminal Police Detachment. Yang Wen, if you have anything to say, you can tell me."

Qian Hao licked his lips and said with a smile: "You should have searched my store, right?"

When Qian Hao was arrested, the antique shop was immediately sealed off. After on-site investigation and technical investigation, no tools used by Qian Hao to commit the crime were found.

When escorting him back to the Municipal Bureau, Luo Rui had already found out that the knife Qian Hao used to kill the victim was hidden under a locust tree in his hometown.

Immediately, Luo Rui notified Li Nong who was thousands of miles away. At this moment, Li Nong was leading people to dig for the knife.

It was precisely because they did not find that Qian Hao had committed any crime in Xijing City that Yang Wen and others did not put pressure on him.

But at this moment, seeing the other party's confident look, Yang Wen began to have doubts in his heart.

Without waiting for him to speak, Qian Hao licked his lips and said, "Officer Yang, I taped a brass key under my counter. I wonder if you have found it?"

Yang Wen frowned, his brain spinning rapidly.

At that time, he had been to the antique shop in Willow Lane, but the police who went in to search did not find the key at all.

Speaking of keys, there are dozens of keys on Qian Hao's counter, all of which are the keys to the drawers of various counters. Who would notice this thing?

"What exactly do you want to say?" Yang Wen stared at him, feeling very uncomfortable. It was a very bad feeling to be led by the nose by a criminal suspect.

Qian Hao grinned and said, "I'll give you an address. It's 255 Binhe Street. Go in through the alley and you'll see a row of warehouses. Warehouse No. 27."

Yang Wen subconsciously leaned forward: "Qian Hao, don't make me guess riddles, what are you hiding, you'd better tell the truth!"

"I've already confessed, Officer Yang. We'll talk when you find the thing. I've been interrogated for six hours. I'm tired. I need to rest."

"No, you have to finish your explanation first and then rest!"

Qian Hao didn't care, closed his eyes and refused to cooperate.

Yang Wen wanted to ask more, but Zhao Changgen's voice came from the headset: "Don't ask anymore, Yang Wen, take someone to get the key and go to the place he said to see what he hid first."

Yang Wen nodded, then asked the police officer on duty to send Qian Hao to the detention center.

……

……

An hour later, 255 Riverside Avenue.

Luo Rui's criminal team drove two cars and followed Yang Wen and his group.

Because they couldn't figure out what tricks Qian Hao was playing, on-site investigation, technical investigation, and bomb disposal experts all arrived.

This location is in the western suburbs of Xijing City. It is not prosperous, but there are many idle people.

After finding the alley that Qian Hao mentioned, the group walked in and saw that it was filled with small express delivery stations with electric bikes and motorcycles shuttling around.

Warehouse No. 27 is at the innermost part and has a rolling door.

Yang Wen licked his lips and handed the key to the fully armed bomb disposal officer: "Be careful and be sure to pay attention to safety."

The constable nodded, he took the key, and stepped forward with a companion, who inserted the key into the lock.

A dozen other police officers stood on the periphery, including Luo Rui.

As the key turned, the police officer carefully pushed the rolling door up.

Nothing happened, and then he continued to push upwards, revealing a gap half a person's height.

Yang Wen couldn't wait any longer, so he ran forward and looked inside. It was dark inside, with a lot of cardboard boxes piled up and nothing else.

Yang Wen called a few people forward, holding flashlights, and went in together.

"What are these?" asked a police officer.

Yang Wen said nothing. After all the rolling doors were opened, Luo Rui's people also walked in.

Yang Wen said: "Everyone be careful, open all the cartons and take a look."

Luo Rui also called on his people to help.

Fang Yonghui opened a cardboard box and took out some stone ornaments.

“Is this a Buddha statue?”

Lin Chen, wearing gloves, took it from him and glanced at it. "It's fake. This thing is the same as the stuff in Qian Hao's antique shop. It's all fake and is used to fool tourists."

Tian Guanghan took out a string of brightly colored agate and handed it to Lin Chen: "Officer Lin, take a look at this, it's beautiful."

Lin Chen curled his lips and said, "It's also fake. It's made of polyester resin mixed with crystal stone powder and glass powder. Let me tell you, if it's real agate, scratch it with jade. The texture is really soft and there will be no scratch marks. If it's fake, the scratch marks will be very obvious. Do you understand?"

Fang Yonghui commented: "Oh, Officer Lin knows a lot."

"That's right. My dad likes these things and spends a lot of money on them."

Tian Guanghan rolled his eyes and said, "Officer Lin is indeed from an extraordinary family. Those who like to collect these things are not from an ordinary family."

Lin Chen curled his lips and said no more.

Chu Yang said, "This is a bit strange. Qian Hao used to be a farmer in Shahe County. He killed someone and fled to Xijing City. In just a few years, he opened an antique shop?"

Yang Bo said: "These things are all fake. Opening a store like this is to deceive foreign tourists. It shouldn't cost much money, right?"

"Grave robbery."

The two words entered everyone's ears. Everyone turned their heads to look and saw Luo Rui holding a palm-sized pottery figurine. The figurine was gray and looked like it had been dug out of the ground.

Luo Rui put the things into the cardboard box: "This is Xijing City, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. Qian Hao can open an antique shop, which is more or less related to tomb robbers. Those antique shops must sell fakes in public, but privately, they probably sell real things..."

As soon as Luo Rui finished speaking, he heard a noise coming from the corner.

"Damn, this is fake?" a voice asked in a surprised tone.

"It must be fake. Where did something this big come from?"

"It doesn't look fake. Didn't you see there's still dirt on it..."

Hearing this, people around immediately crowded forward and saw a corrugated cardboard box filled with a large number of bubble bags, and on top of the bubble bags was a brightly colored statue of a horse.

Yang Wen, wearing blue latex gloves, gently picked up the horse statue. Under the light of the flashlight, the horse statue was lifelike, colorful and vivid.

Yang Wen couldn't help swallowing his saliva and he used his fingers to pick the dirt off the horse's feet.

As the criminal police captain of Xijing City, he had come across many grave robbery cases. If this thing was true, then...

"Tang Sancai!"

At this moment, a voice sounded abruptly.

Lin Chen opened his eyes wide, turned away from Tian Guangrong, squatted down, and watched carefully: "This seems to be true!"

"Are you sure?" Yang Wen turned his head to look at her.

"Look at this soil, it looks a bit like five-flowered soil. It should have been taken out from a tomb."

Tian Guanghan asked, "What is Wuhua soil?"

Lin Chen pondered and said, "Five-color soil refers to the fact that when digging a pit tomb, the cooked soil and raw soil of different colors in the pit will be dug out, and after the burial, the mixed soil will be filled back into the pit."

"So this thing is valuable?"

Lin Chen glanced at him and said, "Even if you earn eight lifetimes, you probably can't buy it."

Yang Wen said: "If this is true, then this Qian Hao should be involved in a major tomb robbery case?"

Lin Chen nodded, took out his tablet and searched for it, then replied: "This horse statue is called a galloping horse in the academic world. It is usually a burial object for nobles in the Tang Dynasty and is priceless. Qian Hao must be involved in a major tomb robbery case if he has this thing. And if it was taken out of the tomb, there should be more than one."

Luo Rui on the side raised his eyebrows. No wonder Qian Hao vowed that he could not take him away now. Luo Rui thought that he had committed a crime in Xijing City, but he did not expect that he was involved in such a thing.

Yang Wen did not dare to delay. He put down his things and asked someone to pack up all the things in the warehouse and transport them back to the Municipal Bureau. Then he immediately notified Zhao Changgen, who also quickly contacted the Cultural Relics Bureau and asked experts to come for appraisal.

Luo Rui also contacted Lu Kangming immediately. There was no doubt that Qian Hao could not be brought back at this stage.

After explaining the situation, Lu Kangming also had to inform his superiors that Qian Hao, as the murderer of Shahe County's major serial murder case, was not someone that Shahe County alone could decide on.

After the call, the group gathered around Luo Rui.

Lin Chen asked: "Team Leader, what should we do now?"

Luo Rui shrugged: "What can I do? Just take a holiday."

"Ah?" Everyone was surprised.

"Looking at Qian Hao's fearless look, he must know a lot of inside information about the tomb robbery case. It depends on the skill of Xijing City Bureau to escort him back. Director Lu asked us to stay here for three days and make a decision after three days." Tian Guangming let out a long sigh: "That's great, this is my first time in Xijing City, let's take this opportunity to have a good look around."

Yang Bo smiled and said, "I think you are greedy."

"What's wrong with being greedy? It's better than eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, right?"

Lin Chen rolled his eyes: "The more you talk, the more outrageous it gets."

At this time, Yang Wen came to Luo Rui after finishing the call.

"Luo Da, you also know the situation..."

Luo Rui nodded: "Okay, I understand."

Seeing that he didn't mind, Yang Wen breathed a sigh of relief and went to get busy.

……

……

At night, guesthouse, canteen.

Two tables were put together, and about ten people sat around the table, eating hotpot.

Ding Wei held the oil dish in one hand and the chopsticks in the other, eating with great pleasure.

The same was true for the three colleagues around him, their mouths full of grease.

Tian Guanghan glanced at him with some dissatisfaction, and ate the mutton very quickly with his chopsticks. He picked up the half-cooked mutton and put it in the bowl. When there was no more space, he picked some for Yang Bo and Fang Yonghui.

Luo Rui rolled his eyes and said, "Old Tian, ​​you picked up the mutton slices before they're ready. You'll get a stomachache."

Tian Guanghan pointed to the other side and muttered quietly: "If you don't eat it, it will be gone."

Ding Wei heard this, and he put down his chopsticks in embarrassment, smiled, and said, "I'm sorry to make you laugh, but we have been hungry these past few days, and we haven't had a full meal."

Hearing this, Luo Rui reached out and called the waiter.

"Mutton slices, beef, whatever you have, bring it all over."

"Okay." The waiter agreed and blinked, thinking to himself, what a fucking eater he is. Thirty plates of mutton were all finished in twenty minutes. All the vegetable leaves on the table were eaten, leaving nothing.

Ding Wei waved his hand: "Luo Da, that's enough, we have almost finished eating."

Although he said so, his three subordinates followed his lead and sang a different tune. Three pairs of chopsticks scooped from the soup pot again and again. One of them, a young man named Dou Hui, picked up a piece of meat residue, showed off in front of his companions like a treasure, then put it into his mouth, smacking his lips.

Ding Wei's face turned red and he just wanted to cover his eyes.

"Well... our funds are tight. We originally thought that this business trip would be within the province, but the situation changed and we ended up in Xijing City. So the higher-ups..."

Luo Rui smiled and said, "Minister Ding, it's okay, we understand."

Needless to say, Ding Wei was criticized and his funding was cut.

Generally speaking, the daily expenses for business trips within the province and outside the province are different. The money for four plane tickets for four people is enough for food for half a month, but because of negligence at work, Ding Wei was embarrassed to ask for money.

Two waiters brought the meat one after another and poured the meat slices into the soup pot. Before the soup pot started bubbling, Ding Wei immediately reached in with his chopsticks, scooped up a piece of fatty beef, dipped it in sesame paste, wrapped it in a saucer of oil, and immediately put it into his mouth.

Seeing how pitifully he spoke just now, Tian Guanghan couldn't bear to pick up his chopsticks.

A group of people from the criminal team followed Luo Rui to solve the case. Lu Kangming provided them with sufficient funding and did not treat them unfairly. Luo Rui also paid for them privately and often gave them extra meals, so this little chopstick was not a big deal.

After eating and drinking, Ding Wei wiped his mouth with a tissue in satisfaction and loosened the belt buckle around his waist.

"Luo Da, we can't take Qian Hao away for a while, what are your plans?"

Luo Rui and Lu Kangming talked on the phone again in the evening. Although the murderer of this major serial murder case in Shahe County has been caught, the follow-up investigation will take a lot of time.

Qian Hao is still useful now, and Xijing City probably can't offer any bargaining chips. This still needs to be negotiated with the public security, procuratorate and courts in Shahe County, so Luo Rui and others need to stay here for a while and see how the situation develops.

After listening to this, Ding Wei hesitated for a while, as he also had a mission to accomplish.

He said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Are you just going to sit there like this? Are you not going to solve the case?"

Luo Rui said: "Shahe County is a small county town. There haven't been any murders recently. And with Deputy Director Li Nong here, there won't be any problems."

Ding Wei scratched the back of his head and stood up in distress: "I have to inform the higher-ups about this matter."

Luo Rui nodded, ignored him, and drank his tea.

He knew that Ding Wei was following him, but he had no cases on hand now, so it was not a good idea to just leave him alone.

Ding Wei hid in the corner with a gloomy expression on his face.

After a long while, he hung up the phone, sat back in his chair, and smiled: "Luo Da, this is it, the four of us originally planned to film the Shahe County case, now that the case has been solved, we don't need so many people.

What I mean is that Dou Hui and I will follow you, and the other two will take the flight back tomorrow morning. What do you think?"

Tian Guanghan blinked and asked curiously, "Have you solved the travel expenses?"

"Uh..." Ding Wei was choked and nodded with a smile: "That's no problem, it can be reimbursed."

"Okay then." Luo Rui had no objection. Since Ding Wei had a mission to complete, it was difficult for him to refuse.

After chatting for a while, Ding Wei took out a stack of playing cards from his briefcase.

Tian Guanghan blinked and said, "Minister Ding, eating is fine, but gambling is not allowed."

"What are you thinking about? I don't have such a bad habit." Ding Wei handed the playing cards in his hand to Luo Rui.

"This is a poker card made by the ministry last month after counting wanted criminals in various provinces. Six of the suspects are in cases supervised by the ministry. There are 54 wanted criminals in total, 22 of which are Class A wanted criminals. The poker cards are printed with the suspects' specific information and the reward amounts."

After Luo Rui took it, Tian Guanghan and Lin Chen couldn't help but lean over to take a look.

Tian Guanghan smacked his lips and said, "Damn, can it be operated like this?"

Yang Bo was also curious and asked, "Let's see who is the big and small king."

Luo Rui simply divided the poker cards in his hand into several pieces and handed them to other people.

After Chu Yang got it, he immediately flipped through it in his hands: "Xiao Wang, I have it here. This person has the same surname as Lin Chen, Lin Bin, and his hometown is Fujian Province. He is 42 years old this year. He is a Class A wanted criminal, and the reward is 20."

Tian Guanghan took a quick look and looked at Lin Chen: "Isn't this your brother? One is called Lin Chen and the other is called Lin Bin, which fits well."

"Go to hell, I'm the only daughter in my family."

Ding Wei explained, "This Lin Bin is very powerful. He has been on the run for five years. He originally killed an entire family. His whereabouts are unknown now."

"The king is here." Fang Yonghui shouted.

Tian Guanghan immediately squeezed over, chanting, "He Tianxiang, native of Sichuan Province, 36 years old this year, killed someone with a gun, reward of 30 RMB."

Ding Wei said, "This is also a case supervised by our ministry. He Tianxiang is a gangster. He broke into someone's office with a gun and beat the general manager and secretary of the nightclub to death. This case happened last year. We have checked the entry and exit records. He Tianxiang should still be hiding in the country."

The playing cards bring together the most wanted criminals from all over the world, with photos, identity information and reward amounts printed on them.

Luo Rui returned the playing cards to Ding Wei, who waved his hand: "You guys take them, I have more, maybe you can catch these people someday."

Lin Chen said, "Commander Ding, there are only six people from Haidong Province. Besides, it is impossible for all these suspects to come to Haidong Province. We all have our own jurisdictions for handling cases, so it is not easy to arrest people anywhere."

"That's true." said Ding Wei.

……

……

The next day, Luo Rui slept in for the first time ever.

When he got up, it was already ten o'clock in the morning. He opened the window and saw heavy snow covering the streets. Looking around, everything was covered in silver.

There are quite a few low ancient buildings nearby, with icicles hanging between the eaves.

Although it also snows in Shahe County, it is not such a heavy snow. At most, it is just a thin layer on the ground, and it does not last long.

Luo Rui took a deep breath of the cold air, and his mind cleared instantly. He closed the window, returned to bed, and called Mo Wanqiu for a brief chat.

After that, he simply washed up, put on his clothes and went downstairs.

I didn't feel cold in the room because there was heating, but as soon as I went out, it was terribly cold and I felt goose bumps all over my body.

Not only him, Chu Yang, Lin Chen and the others were also like this, shrinking their necks and stamping their feet continuously.

The waiter brought the mutton foam and everyone started eating immediately, not because they were hungry, but because it was too cold and their stomachs were ice-cold.

After swallowing a bowl of mutton foam, Lin Chen's lips began to have a little color.

"No, we have to go shopping for clothes. It's too cold today and I don't even have long johns to wear."

Tian Guanghan stretched out his legs in a frivolous manner and lifted up his thermal pants: "How about I lend them to you?"

Lin Chen kicked over and said, "I'm telling you, Lao Tian, ​​you're harassing me. Don't blame me if I send you to jail one day."

Tian Guanghan smacked his lips and said, "You're coming to Qin Province on a business trip at the end of the year, but you don't know how to prepare yourself. You girls only care about your figures and don't even wear long johns. You're going to catch a cold."

Lin Chen ignored him and looked at Luo Rui. He said in a soft voice, "Team Leader, shall we go buy clothes together? It's too cold today. Look at them..."

Lin Chen pointed at Chu Yang, Su Mingyuan and the others: "Snot bubbles are coming out of their noses one by one."

Chu Yang and Su Mingyuan sniffed appropriately and their faces turned pale.

Luo Rui finished the soup at the bottom of the bowl, wiped his mouth and said, "No need, Director Zhao just called me and asked the logistics department to send us some clothes."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Director Zhao is quite nice. That's going to cost a lot. I need to wear a long down jacket and a turtleneck sweater in this weather. I also need a pair of long leather boots to keep warm."

after an hour.

The group of people were wearing green military coats sent by Zhao Changgen, which were longer than the knees and looked energetic.

They shrunk their necks, had snot bubbles running down their noses, put their hands in their sleeves, and lined up in front of the Terracotta Warriors site...

Lin Chen sniffed. She was the only woman in the team. She looked at the group of gentlemen headed by Luo Rui, all of whom had husky expressions.

She trembled and complained, "What's so good about the Terracotta Warriors? It's better to go shopping."

Tian Guanghan laughed: "You don't understand this. Every man wants to take a look at the First Emperor's army."
