Through the fat police officer's narration, Feng Yan had a general understanding of the case.
The museum located three streets away from the police station had a theft case in the morning. The precious gem 'Heart of Fire' in the World Reincarnation Exhibition was stolen in the morning.
The fat police officer drove the car and said: "The thing is like this, the Heart of Flame has been on display in the museum for two days, and today is the last day. Everything was peaceful all day yesterday. There were a lot of people coming to see the gem, but the guards were also very tight. , nothing happened.
As soon as the museum opened this morning, just like yesterday, many people came in. Almost everyone came for the Heart of Flame. But as soon as they arrived at the exhibition hall of the Heart of Flame, all the tourists who entered were dumbfounded. Not only they I was dumbfounded, and so were the guards and curators of the entire exhibition hall.
The heart of flame in the showcase was gone, leaving only a glass showcase with a hole dug out.
The museum was immediately closed at that time, and all visitors who came in were detained, and the police were immediately called. After the police came, after investigation and questioning, no suspect was found, which lasted for more than three hours.
Many of the people who came to see the exhibition were powerful people with high status. Their time was precious. After the police could not find the suspect many times, they began to put pressure on the police. In desperation, I had no choice but to ask you to take action. . "
After driving, Feng Yan began to observe the scenery outside the window.
From the architectural style and car styles of this city, it is not difficult to see that this should be an American or European city with a background of the early 19th century. It is unlikely that there will be any surveillance cameras. To solve the case, we can basically rely on It was done through pure reasoning, inquiry and observation, so after Feng Yan listened to the fat police officer, he didn't bother to ask questions such as whether they had watched the surveillance or whether there was an infrared alarm next to the gem display cabinet.
In addition, through Fatty's explanation, it is not difficult to tell that Feng Yan should be a very famous detective in this area and even in this city. The police could not figure it out, so they had to ask Feng Yan to take action.
Feng Yan thought for a moment and looked at the left wrist of the fat police officer on the side. The time pointed to 1 o'clock.
"What time does the museum open?"
The fat police officer replied: "9:30 in the morning."
Feng Yan said: "How many people have been detained?"
Fat police officer: "More than two hundred people."
Feng Yan: "So many people? No wonder some people are impatient and put pressure on the police. They have delayed everyone's meal time. They are hungry until after 1 o'clock. No one will be happy if they are released. So we might as well let everyone go." "
The fat police officer smiled and said: "Detective Yanfeng, please stop making fun of our brothers. We are just ahead. I will watch your performance later."
As he spoke, the car began to slow down, and Feng Yan saw the museum not far ahead. At this time, some police officers were already on guard around the museum.
After getting off the car, Feng Yan and the fat police officer walked towards the gate together. Many police officers present seemed to know Feng Yan. When they saw Feng Yan, they all seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Some saluted and some held up the brim of their hats to show respect.
After entering the museum gate, the fat policeman shivered and said: "Damn it, it's really a bit cold. It got better after entering the museum. The building materials inside are amazing and have a very good thermal insulation effect. I feel much warmer." "
Feng Yan also felt a significant increase in temperature. The temperature was just right. It was indeed a bit cold outside.
At this time, a tall policeman came over. It seemed that he must be the boss.
"Hello Detective Yanfeng, I am Chief Lesser who is in charge of this case. It's great that you can come. Come with me quickly. Chief Fike should have introduced you to the basic situation on the way. Everyone. In the largest exhibition hall, which is also the one where the Flame Heart is placed, we hope to solve the case as quickly as possible. Those celebrities put too much pressure on us, and we have detained more than two hundred people for too long. But we have to do this. Now we can’t know which one it is. If we let it out rashly, we may let go the thief who stole the Heart of Fire. That gem is priceless, and we can’t afford any responsibility.”
It turned out that the fat man's name was Fike. Feng Yan didn't ask him about it along the way, but he had no interest in knowing what the fat man's name was. He always liked to call everyone in the world by the same second name that was common: that one.
Sheriff Lesser led the way and continued to introduce the situation to Feng Yan as he walked.
Feng Yan listened roughly and asked: "When was the gem stolen? I mean the exact time. Do you understand what I mean?"
Lesser nodded: "Detective Yanfeng wants to ask me if I can confirm that it was lost today, right?"
Feng Yan nodded, and Lesser continued: "To be precise, before the museum closed yesterday, I can confirm that the gem was still in the museum."
Feng Yan: "What time does the museum close?"
Lesser: "The museum closed at 5:30 p.m., and clearance began at 5 o'clock. According to the director's testimony, it is certain that at 5:30, there was no one visitor in the museum, and at that time, the Heart of Fire was still there. In the museum, he took security to check it over before leaving."
While they were talking, the three of them had already arrived at the exhibition hall of the Heart of Flame. This exhibition hall was indeed very large. It should have been an exhibition hall for displaying other large-scale cultural relics before, but now it was completely empty. There was only a glass display cabinet in the center, surrounded by isolation fences. Separated, one can imagine how precious this heart of fire is.
However, there were more than two hundred people standing in the exhibition hall at this time. Although the exhibition hall was large enough, it was still a bit crowded after more than two hundred people were packed in. Feng Yan had already heard many people complaining about wasting too much time. if.
Lesser shouted loudly: "Gentlemen and ladies, please be quiet and please make way for a moment. The famous detective Yanfeng is here. He needs to take a look at the crime scene. I believe the thief will be found soon. Please Please wait patiently for a while."
As soon as these words came out, the scene became quite quiet, and there were many voices of relief and some surprised voices. Obviously, many people on the scene knew the famous detective Feng Yan, and everyone automatically made way. Let Feng Yan walk to the glass display cabinet smoothly.
Feng Yan walked straight over, passed the guardrail, and took a rough look at the display cabinet.
The display cabinet is a square, transparent cabinet made of glass. There is a circular hole cut into the top, which should have been cut with a glass knife. The cushioned display shelf inside is empty. Apparently, the gems that were supposed to be there are no longer there. The guy stole it.
Seeing that there were no clues at the crime scene, Feng Yan winked at Lesser and said, "There are many people here and it's too noisy. Go out and talk."
The three of them walked out of the exhibition hall and came to a side hall. Feng Yan began to ask: "Is it possible that the curator was watching for theft?"
Lesser: "Impossible. This museum is guarded by security guards 24 hours a day. After the Flame Heart came over in the past two days, there were four or five times more manpower than usual. There were about a dozen security guards patrolling. As soon as the curator came, all There are security guards throughout the day to testify that he has never left everyone's sight. In the past two days, he has been busy entertaining and explaining the origins and knowledge of the Flame Heart to the dignitaries.
Secondly, after the museum closed last night, the curator also left. At that time, the Heart of Flame was still in the museum. There was only one door in the whole museum, and the other windows were locked in the past two days. It was impossible for anyone to come in. Window in and out.
The security guards locked the door after the curator left last night, and there was no way he could come back and steal the gems again.
And it is impossible for those dozen security guards to guard themselves. First of all, they are from different security companies, temporarily transferred, and they do not know each other. In addition, considering the preciousness of the Flame Heart, we also posted additional ones outside the museum after closing. The police force ensures that they do not steal and escape at night.
After discovering that the gem was missing this morning, we immediately replaced all the dozen security guards. After searching them all, we concluded that they were not suspects. "
Feng Yan nodded and said, "How big is the Heart of Flame?"
Lesser clenched his fist, gestured and said, "It's about the size of a fist."
Feng Yan exaggeratedly said: "Wow~ That's really priceless. So that means we can rule out the possibility of being swallowed and then taken out?"
Lesser said affirmatively: "Yes, we have also thought of this. We can directly rule out that it is impossible for anyone to swallow a gem as big as a fist."
Feng Yan: "Then did you search the bodies of those two hundred people?"
Lesser said with a headache: "That's the problem. Many of these people are high-status dignitaries with prominent status. We can't search them, but we can't just search those civilians without status, so as to let those people go." powerful people.
After all, the Heart of Fire is extremely valuable, and it is normal for even ordinary dignitaries to be tempted by it. "
Lesser then gave some more confessions about their questioning, but these all sounded like nonsense to Feng Yan. There were more than two hundred people who could not get any useful information out of them if they questioned them one by one, and they discovered it as soon as they opened the museum. Flame Heart was detained and nothing could be asked.
