Chapter 26 Portraits

"Brother Liu, if you solve that case, you won't really solve a set of chimes, right?" Li Jiang lowered his voice, his expression was extremely strange.

"By the way, Comrade Li Jiang, please keep this matter strictly confidential!" Because the matter is not yet certain, Liu Dongsheng did not seem to expose this matter. "If... I mean, if there is really a set of Warring States chimes, how much would it be worth?" Liu Dongsheng had never been involved in cultural relics cases, so he was more accustomed to measuring the seriousness of the case by the amount involved.

"How much is it?" Li Jiang's eyes were as bright as oranges, "Priceless! The cultural relics from the Han Dynasty were priced, let alone the Warring States Period! That was a 100% national treasure!"

"It's so expensive...? If you sold it and I want to buy it, how much would you charge me?" Liu Dongsheng still didn't give up and had to give up a specific amount.

"If it's not sold... no one in China dares to buy it..." Li Jiang seemed to understand some black market conditions, "If I want to sell, I will definitely find a way to go abroad. It must be calculated based on US dollars... It's less than 100,000 US dollars..." Li Jiang rolled his eyes and thought, "If it's a tomb robber, an expert will generally not touch the thing, it's hard to get it, and it's even hard to sell it. The things are usually one set, ranging from a dozen to dozens of them, and the size is different. The set of chimes unearthed from Zeng Houyi's tomb is more than 60 sets, which are two and a half tons and a half kilograms together. Even if the Public Security Bureau doesn't arrest him, let him take it at will, can he move it?"

"Foreign? More than 100,000 US dollars?" Liu Dongsheng nodded, "No wonder that Liangzi has set his sights on Liu Changyou... More than 100,000 US dollars are more than one million yuan..."

"By the way... I said more than 100,000 US dollars is one, not one set!" Li Jiang also added, "If it is a real person, this copper hammer alone is worth tens of thousands of US dollars!"

"What?" Liu Dongsheng's eyes also glared. According to his own thoughts, "dou, ruai, mi, fa,, xi" has seven syllables. If there are at least seven chimes in a set, they must have at least seven? More than 100,000 US dollars per? The whole set can be counted as RMB at least tens of millions! If this is true, this is the largest cultural relics smuggling case since the founding of the People's Republic of China... "Brother Li, thank you today! I have to go back quickly!" After hearing Li Jiang's description, Liu Dongsheng hurriedly said goodbye.

Along the way, Liu Dongsheng's head was also constantly struggling. Should this case be reported? If it is really a set of real Warring States chimes, as Li Jiang said, as he dragged the case to delay the case, the responsibility would not be afforded by his position, and even the leaders of the bureau would be implicated. But according to what Li Jiang said, experienced tomb robbers generally do not steal chimes, especially the whole set, which is big and heavy. How could the robbers of the rabbit hole be made just by relying on these two outlines drawn by Liu Changyou to determine whether they were smuggled were really chimes? Even if it was a chime, if it was a fake, it would be okay if Liu Changyou's uncle was smuggled. It would be a bad thing if even the Public Security Bureau was smuggled... It's not true, nor if it was not smuggled, it was a big head...

With his head wide, Liu Dongsheng had just returned to the office and had not even sat down. Erga ran in with a dark face again, "Captain Liu, it's evil..." Erga's brows frowned, "Either Zhang Tao was making fun of us, or that kid was damn!"

"What's wrong?" Liu Dongsheng had long been accustomed to Erga's fuss. This kid didn't work for a long time and was shocked and deceitful in everything.

"Look..." Erga handed over a criminal investigation portrait, "I painted it until midnight yesterday... It would be better to show us the photos..."

"What photos are you looking at? What messy...?" Liu Dongsheng passed by the street, and the cigarette in his mouth almost fell out of his crotch. This is not a little old man! He is obviously Chen Junsheng who has just died! Except for his slightly bigger eyes, his nose, mouth, and distribution are exactly the same! "Quick! Arrange the interrogation room! Bring the kid to me!" With the photo, Liu Dongsheng couldn't sit still...

It was still the interrogation room yesterday, but there was one more person... In addition to Liu Dongsheng, Erga, and Zhang Tao, forensic Lao Chen was also invited.

"Zhang Tao! If we don't let you go, you won't tell the truth, right? Do you know what the crime of making false evidence??" Erga slapped the table and made Zhang Tao feel inexplicable.

"Okay, okay... they are still children..." Liu Dongsheng waved his hand and continued to sing, "Young man, if you really want to atone for your sins, you have to tell the truth. You were going to report to the procuratorate, and I kept suppressing you... If you don't tell the truth, I can only hand you over to the procuratorate..."

"I... why didn't I tell the truth?" Zhang Tao looked innocent.

"Here...this..." Liu Dongsheng took out the portrait, "You said he was the one who spent money to find you?"

"Yes... it's absolutely true!" Zhang Tao was confused.

"When did he look for you?" Old Chen asked.

"The afternoon before yesterday... I started saying I had three hundred, but I didn't want to. Later, he promised to give me two hundred after I went out... He originally asked me to take action at the entrance of the Quanye Site, but there were too many people! I had to be beaten to death if I caught it... That's why I found a carport nearby that the old lady looked at... What's wrong?" Zhang Tao looked serious, not like he was telling lies.

"The afternoon before yesterday...?" Old Chen frowned, "Tell you that I am a forensic doctor. Yesterday, our scout found his body from a box in a private house. After an autopsy, the death time of this person was between 48 hours and 120 hours. From the afternoon before yesterday, when we found his body, less than 24 hours, how did you meet him?"

"Look at this!" Erga handed over a photo of Chen Junsheng's body.

After taking the photo, Zhang Tao's face turned pale on the spot. The sweat beads on his forehead were dripping like it was raining. He stammered for a long time and said only three words, "It's... it's him..."

"Fuck! You still dare to talk nonsense until now!" Erga slapped the table.

"Wait...you should check if this person has any twin brothers or something..." Old Chen was still quite careful and didn't want to cause trouble for the child in front of him just by saying something.

"No... we have investigated this," Erga said, "His mother is dead. We visited his father in the nursing home. He is the only son in his family... There are no siblings, his wife died of *, and now he lives alone!"

"I...I really didn't lie!" Zhang Tao cried in a hurry, his nose and tears flowing, "Brother Police, I beg you, don't scare me anymore... He must have twin brothers..."

"Take him back to the vocation..." Liu Dongsheng was silent for a while, and winked at Erga.

"Captain Liu, you...you really believe what he said!?" Erga was anxious.

"I said... take him back to the vocation!!" Liu Dongsheng glared, Erga also became weak, obediently escorted Zhang Tao out, leaving only Liu Dongsheng and Lao Chen in the room.

"Old Chen, what do you think?" Liu Dongsheng handed a cigarette.

After a moment of silence, Old Chen shook his head, "Impossible, absolutely impossible. If the dead man's brief resurrection, I heard from the mentor that it can be explained by cellular static electricity, but if the dead man can spend money to hire someone to steal bicycles and know how to bargain, it is absolutely impossible! Either that person has twin brothers, or the child lies! But..."

"But what?" After hearing Old Chen's words, Liu Dongsheng seemed to have seen a little hope.

"This deceased is not much the same as the other one..." Lao Chen said, "The deceased's stomach residue contains heavy metal components, probably mercury and a small amount of chromium, but it did not enter the intestines... In other words, the heavy metal components are likely to have reached the stomach after his death... I wonder now... the deceased showed no sign of being dissected, how did this thing enter his stomach..." Lao Chen murmured.

"Oh..." Liu Dongsheng gasped and thought to himself, what are these people doing? Why do they always mess with this evil? Now, I'm afraid I have to harass Zhang Yicheng again...

Zhang Yicheng was still playing video games in the house, still the same game, the "big ghost", and the person who came to harass him was still Liu Dongsheng.

"Hello, Uncle Liu..." Zhang Yicheng could no longer bear it, but he still had to bear it, "So what's wrong?"

"Yicheng, uncle has to ask you something..." Liu Dongsheng felt embarrassed, "Did Meng Meng give you some tutoring lessons in the past two days..."

"You're asking for advice on this?" Zhang Yicheng squinted his eyes and almost fainted on the spot.

"No...hehe..." Liu Dongsheng had nothing to say, "Uncle is just afraid that he will disturb your studies and affect your grades..." In fact, whether Zhang Yicheng's grades affects the same effect, the whole class will be the final, and it is really true that it affects playing games...

"By the way, Yicheng, my uncle has encountered a difficult problem recently..." Liu Dongsheng said the contradiction between Zhang Tao's confession during the day and the time when Chen Junsheng was killed, "I just want to ask you, from your perspective, is this possible? Is it possible for a dead person to speak like a living person?"

"This..." Zhang Yicheng patted his head, "No!"

"Are you sure?" Liu Dongsheng asked.

"Also... can't be sure..." Zhang Yicheng said, "Uncle, there were many evil things in ancient China. You asked me to be sure that I was really sure. If possible, I can go and check it for you... But you have to help me talk to my mother and ask for leave from the school..." In fact, Zhang Yicheng was enthusiastic about helping with the investigation, and it was true that he wanted to take the opportunity not to go to class...

"Okay! This is no problem!" Liu Dongsheng agreed very happily, "But... the victim has been cremated..."

"The key issue is not the victim!" Zhang Yicheng said, "Didn't you bring a tile last time?"

"Yes!" Liu Dongsheng seemed a little enlightened, "You mean, there should be that thing in the place where Chen Jun lives and dies?"

"Theoretically... there should be..." Zhang Yicheng walked around the house like a little adult...
