Worried that the suspect would escape after hearing the noise, Gong Zhixuan parked his car more than 100 meters away from the stone field.
The four of them quietly entered the quarry in the dark, and Yu Xiangnian took them directly to the warehouse.
Gong Zhixuan looked at the stones one by one with a flashlight and whispered: "The textures on these stones look like various animals. They are indeed very special."
Xiao Wang also nodded in agreement, "Captain Gong, do you want to take the person back for investigation?"
"Take it back first and ask."
Cheng Jingmo took Gong Zhixuan and Xiao Wang to the room where the man lived and knocked on the door.
After knocking on the door several times, the door opened from the inside, and the man with a dark gray halo on his head stood sleepily at the door.
Gong Zhixuan immediately showed his ID, "We are the police from the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Sucheng Public Security Bureau. We suspect that there is something wrong with the stones in your warehouse. Please come back with us for investigation."
The man was mostly awake and looked very innocent, "Is there something wrong with the stone?! Comrade Public Security, this is a stone field and there are rocks everywhere, how can there be a problem!"
"I want to come with us." Gong Zhixuan said seriously, "If there is any problem, we will investigate it clearly."
Gong Zhixuan walked into the house and checked again, and found a set of women's clothes and a gold necklace in the man's clothes box.
The man hurriedly explained, "This is what my wife left behind."
"The valuables will be kept by us for the time being and will be returned after the matter is clarified." Gong Zhixuan said.
The group returned to the Public Security Bureau again. It was already three o'clock in the morning.
Yu Xiangnian, Cheng Jingmo, and the man all took notes.
After finishing the notes, it was almost seven o'clock, and Yu Xiangnian and the others were going back to the guest house to pack their things and take the car to Ping County.
Gong Zhixuan stopped the two of them and talked about the current situation.
It turned out that the man was the director of the quarry, named Ma Hongchao.
He claimed that the stones were piled randomly in the warehouse and there was nothing special about them.
Apart from a pile of unidentifiable stones, there is currently no evidence that Ma Hongchao was smuggling paleontological fossils.
In other words, in order to convict him, one must prove that these stones are paleontological fossils, and the other is to find evidence from other aspects that he smuggled paleontological fossils.
Gong Zhixuan said, "This is the first time our bureau has encountered such a case. The biggest difficulty now is to prove these stones."
Yu Xiangnian was surprised, "Don't the Public Security Bureau have a special identification center?"
She had seen on TV that there were police officers who specialized in identification.
Gong Zhixuan smiled bitterly, "It takes an expert to identify this! How can our internal staff not be at this level!"
After a pause, he expressed his true thoughts, "We would like to ask you to help us solve this case. You can tell at a glance that these stones are paleontological fossils. You must be an expert in this field, right?"
Yu Xiangnian and Cheng Jingmo shook their heads at the same time.
Gong Zhixuan was a little disappointed, "This case is difficult to handle. If these stones cannot be characterized, then he cannot be guilty of smuggling. Do you know any experts in this field?"
Cheng Jingmo thought of Liu Chunwei and his wife.
The couple has been conducting research all over the country all year round. They can know experts in radio and maybe paleontological research.
Several people gathered together and acted separately.
Gong Zhixuan led people to investigate other evidence, while Yu Xiangnian and Cheng Jingmo were responsible for contacting experts.
Breakfast was steamed buns and porridge in the canteen of the Public Security Bureau.
After coming out of the Public Security Bureau, Yu Xiangnian said: "Cheng Jingmo, I can't go back now."
Cheng Jingmo replied calmly: "Since you have taken care of it, then you will take care of it to the end."
Yu Xiangnian smiled helplessly, "You just have a strong sense of mission!" As soon as he encountered a crime, he could put everything aside.
Cheng Jingmo said: "Let's go to the station to refund the ticket first, then go back to the guest house to tell Xiaojie, and then go find Mr. Liu and the others."
Yu Xiangnian said: "Let's go separately. You go to the station to refund the ticket and go back to the guest house to wait. I'll go find them."
Fortunately, before Yu Xiangnian and Liu Chunwei left, they asked where they lived.
Yu Xiangnian went to Sucheng Guest House to find them and told them the situation.
Liu Chunwei smiled and said: "You have found the right person. We really know an expert in this field! But he is in Beijing."
Liu Chunwei introduced that this expert is called Dong Bicheng, who works in a museum in Beijing and specializes in the study of paleontological fossils.
"Then please contact Teacher Liu for help." Yu Xiangnian said sincerely.
There was a phone number in the guesthouse, and Liu Chunwei called and briefly explained the situation.
Then, Yu Xiangnian described the situation of those stones to the other party in detail.
When Dong Bicheng heard that there were so many suspicious paleontological fossils appearing in Sucheng, he immediately agreed.
But from Beijing to Sucheng, if we set off now, we won’t be able to arrive until the morning of tomorrow at the earliest.
Yu Xiangnian returned to the guest house and told Cheng Jingmo about the situation.
The three of them had lunch outside. Cheng Jingmo asked Yu Xiangnian to take Xiaojie back to the guest house to rest while he went to find Gong Zhixuan.
After leaving like this, Yu Xiangnian didn't see Cheng Jingmo for two days.
Later, she found out that Cheng Jingmo cooperated with Gong Zhixuan and others in handling the case.
They first went to investigate the workers in the stone quarry and learned:
Ma Hongchao is very serious about his work. Every time he mines stones, he must carefully inspect them.
Some stones with special textures were transported to the warehouse for storage. The workers did not know what was special about these stones.
Anyway, every three to five months, someone will come and collect these stones.
I heard that Ma Hongchao also had a little lover outside, Li Shuixian.
Cheng Jingmo and the others found Ma Hongchao's lover Li Shuixian and found a bankbook from Li Shuixian's home.
There are more than five thousand yuan in the bankbook, which can be said to be a huge amount of money.
Cheng Jingmo and Yu Xiangnian met again two days later, and Yu Xiangnian brought Dong Bicheng to the Public Security Bureau.
Cheng Jingmo and Gong Zhixuan both had panda eyes, unshaven beards and haggard faces.
The only difference is that Cheng Jingmo's hair is very short, his scalp can be seen, and he looks quite fresh.
But Gong Zhixuan's messy hair covered his head, which made him look even more aged.
Those stones have been sealed by the Public Security Bureau and specially arranged to guard them.
Dong Bicheng was shocked when he saw so many paleontological fossils.
All subsequent matters will be handled by Gong Zhixuan and the others.
Gong Zhixuan specially invited Cheng Jingmo and the others to have a meal to thank them.
On the table are Sucheng's specialties, steamed mutton, roasted chicken, and of course noodles!
Gong Zhixuan and Cheng Jingmo had been together for three days and two nights, and they had become familiar with each other.
"Without you this time, so many precious things would have been lost abroad!" Gong Zhixuan said with emotion, "What kind of paleontological fossils? We have never heard of it, but Comrade Yu can see it!"
Cheng Jingmo didn't want to arouse others' suspicion.
He didn't say that Yu Xiangnian first saw Ma Hongchao and suspected that there was something wrong with him, and then he discovered these stones.
In fact, Cheng Jingmo has always been surprised.
Why does Yu Xiangnian know who the bad guy is when he sees him?
The same thing happened to the people who robbed the tomb last time.
