Everyone didn't pay attention to Xu Zheng's casual remarks. Who wouldn't decorate with some imitation antique vases in Chinese style decoration? The most conspicuous thing in this large living room are the two large vases in the shape of pastel maids over one meter high on both sides of the TV cabinet.
There are also several large blue and white jars from the Yuan Dynasty and various glazed porcelains from the Ming and Qing Dynasties on the ancient shelves.
Don't worry, these dozen or so porcelains are all imitations, but the price of high-quality products should not be cheap.
Liao Hai casually picked up a small milky white bowl from the archaeological shelf and placed it under the light. The walls were as thin as cicada wings. It looked elegant, bright and clean, with a texture as gentle as jade. "Xiao Xu, these antique porcelains are like mine." The small bowl in my hand looks much better than the ones we usually use for eating, but these days, real antiques are becoming less and less popular on the market, and they are becoming more and more expensive.
And this kind of antique porcelain is the most popular porcelain.
This bowl is so beautiful that I want to buy one to take home for dinner. "
"Since Mr. Liao is interested, try covering the flashlight on your mobile phone with the bowl in your hand. You should still be surprised." Under the influence of his grandma and elders like Zhao Yuanshan, Xu Zheng knew some methods of appraising antique porcelain. At this time, he already knew If he had any guesses, he asked Liao Hai to give it a try.
Liao Hai became interested as soon as he heard this. He asked Jian Xueqing to turn on the flashlight on his mobile phone, and then covered it with a bowl. Suddenly, the milky-white jade bowl was like a flashlight lampshade, emitting white light, "Hey, look, this craftsmanship is really amazing." It’s amazing, this bowl can be used as a lampshade, which official kiln in our dynasty can produce this kind of porcelain? It’s amazing.”
Seeing this, Xu Zheng confirmed his guess, but he was not happy at all. He watched the other four people using mobile phone flashlights to test the porcelain in Qi Yuanhai's house, and basically all of them emitted a bright white light.
At this time, Xu Zheng, who already knew the truth, felt that the room suddenly became gloomy even though he was righteous.
Seeing that Liao Hai was still playing with the jade bowl, he hurriedly stepped forward to grab it and told others not to touch the antique porcelain. With a solemn expression on his face, he said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Mr. Liao just asked if this is our dynasty." This kind of porcelain can be fired. If I am not wrong, these antique porcelains should be bone china.
Have you heard of bone china? "
Seeing their confused looks, Xu Zheng continued to explain, "As the name suggests, bone china is made of bone powder. It is usually fired from beef and sheep bone powder plus clay. The proportion of a piece of porcelain should be about 20%.
Look at this small bowl, it contains about 5 taels, so the bone meal used is only one tael.
If an adult woman weighs 100 kilograms, her whole body bones should weigh about 15 kilograms. Including wear and tear, it can be regarded as ten kilograms, so 13 women should weigh 130 kilograms.
So tell me, how much bone china can be made from these bone powder? "
Xu Zheng was making calculations while talking, and he didn't pay attention to the expressions of Liao Hai and the others. If you look carefully, you can see that the guys who were touching the porcelain with their hands just now were rubbing their palms on their clothes vigorously.
Most people are taboo about dead bodies. The police have seen them a lot, so they won't feel any discomfort when touching a corpse. But this is bone china. According to Xu Zheng, these bone china are made from the bones of missing women ground into powder.
There is something mysterious about it, like a curse or a sacrifice, but it's better not to touch it.
Jian Xueqing coughed twice and tried to calm down, "Xiao Xu, how did you think these porcelains are bone china? Could it be that if porcelain can be used as a lampshade, it is bone china?"
"Director, is this really bone china made from ground human bones?" Situ Yao was very curious, and his big round face was full of tangles. Just now he was working the hardest, sniffing hard with the porcelain and almost licking it.
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
Most of the bone china is made of beef bone powder.
If it were human bone powder and there were problems with the manufacturers who fired these porcelains, then even more people would be involved. With more people involved, the confidentiality of this matter would be poor, otherwise someone should have reported it long ago. "
When Xu Zheng said this, Liao Hai nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, I think it is also beef bone meal. If it were really human bone meal, who would put these porcelain at home? How scary!"
Situ Yao said quietly from the side: "Mr. Liao, Qi Yuanhai is a serious fetishist. He even collects women's underwear. So these bone china..."
Liao Hai stared at the little fat man with cold eyes before he could finish his words. Of course he knew what Xu Zheng meant. Most of these bone china were the bones of the missing women, but he wanted to leave here as soon as possible.
Because I always feel that this room is so nervous.
Yao Ke'er didn't know when she was attached to Xu Zheng's body. She felt the heat on Team Leader Xu's body before she calmed down and urged in a low voice: "Leaders, in this case, should we send someone to send these porcelains back?" The provincial department does testing?
If it's just burned like this, can the DNA still be detected? "
Jian Xueqing replied: "DNA can be detected even after the ashes are burned. This should be no problem."
Liao Hai saw them discussing again and tightened his clothes, "Let's not discuss it here. Send someone over quickly to take samples and test it immediately to see if it is really human bone powder and bone china."
This eucalyptus is not that simple.
First of all, we must keep it secret to prevent the news from leaking. We must immediately identify the place where the porcelain is fired, seal off the workers and masters in the factory, and most importantly, seize the boss..."
Xu Zheng and the others saw that Mr. Liao couldn't wait to go back as soon as possible, so they had no choice but to agree to go back immediately.
But when he went back, Xu Zheng picked up the jade bowl, found a box and took it to the car, intending to take it back to the Provincial Laboratory Department. Liao Hai and others had strange expressions when they saw this, but they did not stop it. .
This kind of mysterious thing, the less you understand, the more panic you feel. Fortunately, after leaving the villa, under the warm winter sun, Liao Hai and the others finally felt like they were back in the world after sneezing a few times.
Next, various police departments launched operations quickly. The testing department could immediately take samples from the jade bowl for DNA testing. Xu Zheng asked Gu Jia and Zhuang Yongshan to investigate all the shopping records, decoration companies, and delivery companies of Qi Yuanhai and Tian Yuanguo.
Find out which courier company delivered these porcelain to Yunlu Villa.
He also asked Situ Yao and Yao Ke'er to investigate all porcelain manufacturers in Pingjiang Province and nearby areas, and investigate their financial transactions or connections with the Qi Yuanhai brothers.
Qi Xueyu and Xia Yu were also sent by Xu Zheng to the detention center where Tian Yuanguo was detained. When the DNA test results came out, Tian Yuanguo was immediately interrogated about the porcelain.
As for Zhou Fangben, Xu Zheng asked him to wait until the DNA results came out and then go to the procuratorate to apply for a search warrant and lead people to search Mo Zhongyun's home and check the porcelain in his home.
As for himself, he had made an appointment with the provincial prosecutor in the afternoon to interrogate Mo Zhongyun and Yan Hongqiang. He couldn't be late for this matter. Seeing that the time was approaching, he had no choice but to rush to the city detention center with Long Chuchu.
On the way, Long Chuchu was driving. He was sitting in the passenger seat, nibbling on the salted duck and flatbread he had just bought. At the same time, he called Liao Hai and asked him to send someone to Yan Hongqiang's villa near Xuanwu Lake.
There's still a seal there, so maybe there might be some bone china in the room, too.
Liao Hai agreed on the phone. He thought about it and told Xu Zheng the news, "I just called Dai Ruhai from the Provincial Special Police Corps and asked about it.
According to rumors from the Provincial Special Police Corps, Mo Zhongyun has a piece of white-glazed porcelain from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty in his office, which is 25 centimeters high. He has been seen playing with it often.
Now Lao Dai is busy investigating the whereabouts of this piece of porcelain. After Mo Zhongyun was arrested, all the unused items in his office were thrown away, and some were "borrowed" by others. "
"Borrow it?" After Xu Zheng had never been in contact with an official of this level and was arrested, his belongings could still be borrowed.
Liao Hai explained helplessly: "After the provincial special team and the cadres from the Disciplinary Inspection Commission came to investigate, they took away useful things. Of course, the remaining things cannot be returned to Mo Zhongyun's family.
This is called confiscation.
But some things are of low value and have no use other than taking up space. For example, no one would want to use the desks and computers he used, so putting them in the storage room would be a waste of space.
It is all handled by the logistics side. As for how they handle it, we will not interfere.
The vase that Mo Zhongyun often played with was investigated by the Discipline Inspection Commission and found to be a current replica, worth only a few hundred yuan, so when it was being disposed of, it was bought for 300 yuan.
But it cannot be said to be a purchase. The money is not recorded in the account. It can only be said to be a "borrow" without an IOU. "
Xu Zheng had only heard about taking advantage of the public, but he didn't expect that there was a lot of profit involved. If nothing else, the computers purchased by the provincial department were basically worth 6,000, because the price of desktop computers was stipulated not to exceed 6,000.
I don’t know how much money Mo Zhongyun’s computer will be able to put into storage after being processed...
Xu Zheng shook his head, getting rid of these messy thoughts, and quickly asked, "Mr. Liao, is it possible that the person who 'borrowed' this piece of porcelain is Mo Zhongyun's accomplice?" "
Liao Hai replied seriously, "Xiao Zheng, this is a private conversation between us. You can say whatever you want, but outside, you can't directly doubt your colleagues like this. Remember, as long as you don't have evidence of those colleagues who violate laws and disciplines, , then they are still our comrades."
"Mr. Liao, what you are reminding me is that I am a little worried that the piece of porcelain has been destroyed." Xu Zheng quickly admitted his mistake, "I just asked Zhou Fangben to go to the procuratorate to apply for a search warrant and go to Mo Zhongyun's house to search and have a look. Is there any other bone china?
Of course, all these actions still have to wait until the DNA test results come out. "
Liao Hai approved Xu Zheng's arrangement, which was comprehensive, "You have come to me to look for help. It's obvious that the special team is short of manpower. Hurry up and urge your two friends to come over as soon as possible. Maybe we can catch up with this situation."
This situation is not simple anymore. If they come early, they can not only help you, but also make an extra contribution. "
After Xu Zheng hung up the phone, he thought about Mr. Liao's suggestion for a while. The leader was right. Before, he only regarded this project as something that could be easily solved. Even after it was broken, it was only considered to have completed a target. More Points for bonuses and commendations.
As for the third-class collective merit, he didn't think about it at all.
But now, the case is obviously becoming more and more complicated. No matter how many suspects there are, their method of disposing of the corpse is very bad. If this is known to the outside world, I wonder how the dark forces will spread rumors.
When Xu Zheng hung up the phone, Long Chuchu, who was driving, glanced sideways at him. When he came to his senses, he said sourly: "Director, do you think I am not qualified to be your assistant, so you dismissed Wen Jie?" Transferred here?"
"Um!"
Xu Zheng gnawed on the duck leg and answered casually without raising his head.
Long Chuchu was dumbfounded and finally took advantage of this opportunity to ask the questions in his mind face to face. In the end, he was answered with "Yeah" and "Director, I'm not that unbearable, am I?"
Xu Zheng generally treats male and female colleagues as the same. After all, the female colleague is not his wife, so there is no need to worry about it. Seeing Long Chuchu's slightly sad expression, he smiled belatedly and said: "Don't misunderstand me. I just don’t think you can be an assistant.
I see that you are ambitious...well, you are very ambitious. Being an assistant will bury your passion, so I am going to put you in a more important position. "
"Rhetoric, I think what you said is still a cliché." Long Chuchu actually just wanted Xu Zheng to give an explanation and an attitude. After all, she knew herself, and the assistant job was really not suitable for her.
She has a straightforward personality, and she is a little older than Xu Zheng. Even though she keeps telling herself to be careful about her attitude, sometimes she still feels like a big sister taking care of her little brother.
"Director, I heard that your former boss Zhang Yuqi was a womanizer. Do you think I can be as good as her?"
Unexpectedly, Xu Zheng swallowed the last piece of meat.
He took a sip of water and said, "You will definitely not be able to keep up with the business. You can consider switching to administration."
Long Chuchu simply rolled her eyes. At her age, she could still work hard for a few more years and earn more achievements before being promoted. "Director, if I follow you all the time, won't I get a lot of credit, and then switch to administration, and it will be very easy to get promoted?" "
This time it was Xu Zheng's turn to roll his eyes, and he said angrily: "Promotions and salary increases are all human-made things. How dare I guarantee the uncertainties.
Besides, promotion now is not based on merit. "
There is a saying in the police circles that the higher the professional ability of a person, the less likely he will be in a high administrative position, because leaders need skilled subordinates. Otherwise, who will do the work if they have already been promoted?
Soon the two of them arrived at the city detention center, where Yan Hongqiang was being held. Mo Zhongyun was currently being investigated by the Discipline Inspection Commission, so Xu Zheng didn't know where he was being held. Someone would contact him and give him his location.
After completing the formalities, Xu Zheng met Yan Hongqiang again in the interrogation room. At this time, he still looked like Cheng Liang. I wonder if he felt sad for himself in his heart. When he died, he was wearing someone else's face, even the real one. I can't even do it myself.
At this time, Yan Hongqiang was wearing bracelets and anklets. There were two armed prison guards standing in the corner of the interrogation room. He was obviously treated like a serious prisoner, but his face now looked very open-minded and even rounded out. .
It seems that he knows his end, and he is in a happy mood. He should eat and sleep. Anyway, the next step is to appear in court, be tried, and then sentenced, and then appeal. It will probably take a year or two to complete.
When the two people met again, there was no tense situation or angry quarrel. Instead, they smiled knowingly, and it felt like they could forget their grudges with a smile, but Xu Zheng knew that this was because he and Yan Hongqiang had no personal grudge.
In addition to the fact that Han Xin was almost kidnapped, Tian Yuanguo also did this secretly behind Yan Hongqiang's back.
"I received Bai Shuting's divorce agreement before." Yan Hongqiang laughed at himself: "Xu Zheng, do you know? I love her very much, but it's a pity that we have reached this point.
Husband and wife are birds of the same forest!
I have to apologize to you here. Although I only found out about the kidnapping of your wife that day, I did not stop it at the time. "
Xu Zheng nodded and accepted his apology. The crime of kidnapping is not the smallest of all Yan Hongqiang's crimes, but it can also be said to be negligible. "Actually, I personally informed Bai Shuting about your face change, so she chose to I also guessed that I divorced you before you went to jail, so when it comes to personal matters, we are even."
"Ha...you are indeed a master who does not suffer losses." Yan Hongqiang raised his head slightly, as if lost in memories, "Xu Zheng, do you know such a saying?
"One day you will be like me. As long as you can't resist the temptation, you will follow my path." "
Looking at Xu Zheng's confused eyes, Yan Hongqiang showed a complicated expression on his face, "This is what a community boss in Shancheng City said to the police chief who was interrogating him twenty years ago.
You wouldn’t have thought that ten years later, this sentence would really come true. "
Xu Zheng's eyes narrowed and he sat up straight. When Yan Hongqiang said this, he remembered a big scandal that caused a sensation in the country twenty years ago. Even now, people often mention it, especially about those female stars who are stalking people.
He also understood Yan Hongqiang's intention, which implied that he would sit in his position in the future and be sentenced to death.
Xu Zheng said slowly: "Many people say that the family of origin will affect a person's life. Compared with the director, I should be much happier than him. He grew up poor, but I have never worried about money.
He is lustful and I only have one childhood sweetheart wife.
He has a strong desire for power, but I just want to do practical things...
Unfortunately, even if I wanted to be him, I probably wouldn't be able to do it.
Yan Hongqiang, times have changed. Even you are a legal company. It is difficult for that kind of character to appear now. At most, he is greedy for money and sex.
Also, corruption and bribery are now not punishable by death! "
Yan Hongqiang's eyes were complicated, and he didn't know the joy or sorrow. He sighed, "Tell me, I don't want to make random guesses about the purpose of your coming today. You
To be honest, I will tell you everything I know. "
Xu Zheng couldn't guess Yan Hongqiang's psychology, so he directly stated the purpose of coming today. He took out his mobile phone, opened the chat history and showed it to him, "This is the DNA test report issued by the provincial inspection department. We are at the homes of Qi Yuanhai and Tian Yuanguo. The porcelain they found was bone china made from the powdered bones of women.
This one, and this one, 13 in total. "
He swiped through the 13 photos on his phone one by one and showed them to Yan Hongqiang, and finally asked: "Is the person who did this kind of thing unconscionable? Although you have done many evil things, you don't have such cruel methods, right?"
"Did you really find it at Qi Yuanhai's house?" Yan Hongqiang clasped his braceleted hands together, with veins popping up on his face. He was obviously very angry and his eyes were red. "As expected, they are two hyenas on the grassland. They have no bottom line at all.
Now I really regret raising these two beasts! "
Upon hearing Yan Hongqiang's words, Xu Zheng's heart sank. Could it be that he really didn't know anything about what the two brothers did?
