Otherworldly Merchant

“Now we have only two options, one to catch Lu Jian immediately, and the other to speculate on who the sneaky spirits are through the artefacts.” I turned around and asked, "Captain Wong, can I see the archives?" ”

“We don't have much information.” Captain Huang said with some embarrassment: “We have no idea what this is, and it was handed over to the comrades of the Bureau of Antiquities shortly after it was seized. In addition to a few photos..."

“Photos are enough, let me see.” I said anxiously.

Captain Huang took out his cell phone and found the photo and handed it over.

I went on to take a look, and this was taken from the scene by a comrade from the Cultural Relics Bureau.

There are five artifacts, four tripod long pecked bronze jade, which can be seen at a glance and should be a container for drinking during the Warring States. The last thing is very special, slightly square, with a recessed interior, with a beastly handle in the middle above, and a rough glance, like a lid for something.

I've never seen this before, but I'm pretty sure it's part of a complete antique.

When I was looking at myself, my phone rang.

I turned the phone over to Captain Huang, and he still seemed to have some difficulty believing me. He took the phone a few steps before pressing the answer button.

“What, where? I'll be right there.” He put down his phone and looked at me and Li Mazi. “Guys, I think you can really go and rest. Lu Jian has already caught it. ”

“Sure. Then we'll follow your lead.” As I walked, I laughed with a slight smile: "But let me remind you that catching Lu Jian is only the beginning. ”

“If I'm right, he shouldn't have any artifacts in his hand, and you won't find any evidence of his crimes. Even with your interrogation methods, let him confess himself, plus Zhao's honest designation, to be able to stand up for his theft of cultural relics. But where are the monuments? He probably doesn't even know it himself. ”

“Without my help, you may never find it. This case has already spooked the provincial and cultural relics bureau. If you can't get something out, how can you handle it? ”

“This...” Captain Huang was overheard.

Indeed, even if Lu Jian and Zhao honestly stole cultural relics, but the relics could not be recovered, they could not be handed over at all, and there are so many lives, there should be a saying.

“Master Zhang, please wait.” Seeing me and Li Mazi turn around and leave, Captain Huang hurriedly called us, and the name also changed from Mr. Zhang to Master Zhang.

“Please both work hard and come with us to the police force. ”

“There's no time! We have to rest.” Without waiting for me, Li Mazi refused with a very unsolicited mouthful.

Looks like he's also disgusted with Captain Huang's attitude.

I patted Asako on the shoulder, indicating he didn't mind.

In other words, it's hard to believe that we've pushed such a serious incident into a ghost, not to mention an old detective from the police for more than 20 years. Had it not been for the clues we have provided, Zhao Liang, who carries cultural relics, would have treated us both as demons, spread feudal superstitions and caught them and educated them for a few days.

“Captain Wong, you can come back to the police force with me, but I have a request.” I smiled.

“Say it." Captain Huang nodded.

“Gotta let me interrogate Lu Jian first.” I said.

Captain Huang hesitated to ask, "Can I listen to that? ”

“No!” I replied resolutely, "No one but me is allowed to be present, and of course you can monitor it in real time. ”

Captain Huang hesitated again and finally nodded: "Okay! I'll listen to you as long as I can retrieve the relics and find the real killer. ”

It seems that Captain Huang's principles are quite strong.

We got in the car and drove quickly towards the police force.

Halfway through, I made another small request to Captain Wong.

The taxi I came in was probably a little scared, didn't notice a red light breaking in, and ran away in a hurry, without even charging the fare. I would like him to speak to his colleagues in the traffic police, waive the penalty, and transfer the fare of $200 to him.

After listening to my little request, Captain Huang obviously stunned, and then waved back my money. “Master Zhang, you are so kind, I won't bother you with this little thing. ”

"Li, turn back to the camera in front of the funeral home and find the taxi. ”

“Yes!” the little policeman in the back echoed.

All the way to the police force.

The interrogation room is on the third floor.

“Master Zhang, he's locked here.” Captain Huang pointed to the innermost room and said.

I nodded and stretched out my hand: "Captain Wong, I'm interrogating in a special way, can you give me the keys to the handcuffs? ”

Captain Huang hesitated and eventually ordered the police to hand over the keys, but some of them didn't feel comfortable telling me: “Master Zhang, this is a very important criminal suspect, but don't make any mistakes! ”

I laughed. “Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him. He won't get lost, let alone you. ”

Captain Huang immediately realized: “Are you going to let him out? ”

“Of course, if you don't let him out, who's gonna find that thing?” My chest is full of bamboo.

“Didn't you say he probably didn't even know where the artifacts were hidden? ”

“He doesn't know, but he can find it with him.” I didn't explain anything anymore, just pushed the door in.

The interrogation room was small, and Lu Jian was handcuffed to an iron chair opposite him with a slight squint of his eyes and wondering what he was thinking.

When he heard the opening of the door, he opened his eyes and looked at me, but he was a little surprised, and then became more and more confused.

His first reaction to seeing me may have been to think that I was undercover with the police, but my hands at Ma Jia Zhuang Lu did not look like police tactics.

Until now, he's a little confused about who I really am.

I dragged the interrogation chair across from him and lit a cigarette and passed it. Then I lit one myself.

Lu Jian took a deep smoke and stared at me. He asked me in a self-derisive manner: “Should I call you Officer Zhang or Master Zhang now? ”

“It doesn't matter.” I looked down and said, "You've got 10 minutes. Say something if you want. ”

“Ten minutes? What does that mean?” Lu Jian blinked and smoked another cigarette, laughing. “You're not going to shoot me in ten minutes, are you? Don't scare me. I've been to college, law school, too. ”

He threw up another long breath of smoke: “You guys grabbed me for nothing, you can hold me for up to 72 hours, I'll sue you if it takes more than a minute! ”

“Nine-and-a-half more.” I still stared at the watch and didn't lift my head.
