Chapter 190 Thieves Are Not Human

After chatting with Lu Jinghua for a while, Qin Yang finally figured out the ins and outs.

Ms. Cao's husband died young, and she has only one son. She is currently studying in Yenching, and it is difficult to go home all year round. The mother and son rarely contact each other. Her great-grandfather is a well-known antique collector in China. Times have changed, and the family has fallen. , the collection left by my great-grandfather is running out, and only one very special antique is left in her hands, an ancient meteorite Buddha. The strange thing is that most of this meteorite ancient Buddha is made by nature. The sculptor carved very few parts. There is a signature on the bottom of the Buddha statue. There was once a collector who paid eight figures. Ms. Cao did not sell it. She wanted to keep this thing. Give it to your son and pass it on as a family heirloom in the future.

The theft happened the night before. Ms. Cao came back from the outside and went to burn incense on the Buddha statue on the altar as usual. Unexpectedly, she found that the ancient Buddha on the altar had disappeared. She searched for it at home. I didn't see the shadow of the ancient Buddha once, so I called the police immediately.

The police came to investigate the scene with police dogs. The results of the investigation were very strange. No fingerprints or footprints of a third party were found near the Buddhist altar, but the Buddha statue was stolen and fell to the ground, leaving a deep hole on the wooden floor. There are deep dents, and what is even more strange is that there is no other property damage in the room except the Buddha statue. The thieves seem to have come specifically for the Buddha statue. They took things and left immediately without leaving any traces.

The police dog did smell something, but when they went downstairs, the police dog became a headless chicken and couldn't find any clues at all.Checking the surveillance video of the community, I did not find any valuable clues. Several suspects were also eliminated one by one. The thieves disappeared as if they had grown wings, and took away a priceless Buddha statue.

Lu Fei asked to investigate this bizarre theft case on her own initiative. It was a challenge for her to solve such a difficult case. She didn't ask too many people to help, so she asked Qin Yang. For some reason, she felt that Bringing brother Qin might help solve the case. There is no need for any reason, it's just an intuition.

At this moment, a curly-haired middle-aged woman walked over quickly. She was the owner, Ms. Cao. She wore light makeup, her face was slightly thin, and there were two obvious dark circles under her eyes. It seemed that she didn't sleep well last night. It's understandable when you think about it, anyone who loses something worth tens of millions cannot sleep peacefully.

"Officer Lu, I'm very sorry, the company has something to do temporarily, so I kept you waiting for a long time."

Ms. Cao showed a reluctant smile, and said hello to Lu Fei. The things have been lost. The only way for her now is to trust the police, hoping to solve the case as soon as possible and recover her family heirlooms.

Lu Fei smiled lightly and introduced: "This is Police Officer Qin. He is assisting me in investigating the theft. We want to visit the scene now, hoping to find some useful clues."

Ms. Cao glanced at Qin Yang, nodded and said, "Come with me, your people said to protect the scene. I haven't entered the house since the things were stolen."

Qin Yang asked casually, "Where did you sleep last night?"

Ms. Cao frowned and said in a low voice, "The company has staff dormitories, and I lived in the dormitories last night."

"Oh!" Qin Yang replied foolishly, turned his head to look at Lu Fei, and said in a low voice, "Actually, I think we should bring the police dog here, maybe we can find new clues."

Lu Fei glanced at him and said, "Stop talking about useless things, go up and see the scene first."

"Come with me!"

Ms. Cao said something lightly, and walked quickly into the elevator room.

The elevator stopped on the twelfth floor, and this is the top floor, with one elevator and two households, both of which are duplex buildings.

Opposite Ms. Cao is an old couple. The old couple moved in with their son a few years ago. The house is vacant all year round. It is said that it has been listed for sale by an intermediary. Occasionally, someone will come to see the house, but it has not been sold yet.

Qin Yang and Lu Fei put on shoe covers at the door, and followed Ms. Cao to the second floor. There was a small house near the balcony, and there was a Buddhist altar inside. There was only an incense burner left on the altar. The place where the Buddha statue was originally placed left an oval trace, and a layer of incense ash was attached around the trace. There was a drag mark on the incense ash, and there was also a deep scratch on the ground. It is obvious that the thieves first moved the Buddha statue to the table. The edge should have been lost, and the Buddha statue fell from the altar or the hand to the ground.

"Everything is untouched, you can look at it casually, I will go to the room to tidy up some things, call me anytime you need to know the situation."

Ms. Cao brought the two of them to the altar, turned around and entered the next bedroom.

Lu Fei and Qin Yang walked around the Buddhist altar twice, and everything they could see on the surface was in front of them. The police officers who came to handle the case yesterday had already made detailed records. Unless they could find some new clues, it would be difficult to What substantial progress has been made.

Qin Yang knelt down and touched the scratches on the floor with his hands, frowned and asked, "How heavy do you think this Buddha statue should be? There was such a big mark on the floor."

Lu Fei was slightly taken aback, and soon thought of something, and said in a low voice, "It's strange, I remember that the total weight of the Buddha statue is 450 grams, which is less than three catties. To be able to pick it up, assuming the thief is an adult, he doesn't have to remove the Buddha statue at all, and it's impossible for him to drop it on the ground, which is totally unreasonable."

Qin Yang smiled lightly and said: "The thief took away the most precious Buddha statue without taking any other property, that is to say, he came for the Buddha statue and knew its value. Logically speaking, he shouldn't let the Buddha statue fall to the ground, right? If it breaks, wouldn’t it be in vain? The strange thing is that there are no other clues besides these traces, and the strangest thing is that even the police dogs can’t track the smell. I suspect that the thief may not be human at all!”

"not human?!"

Lu Fei's eyes lit up suddenly, and he ran up to the balcony.

Ms. Cao’s house is a two-story duplex structure. There is a large balcony on the second floor. In addition to drying clothes, it can also be used to grow flowers and plants. You can even put a few leisure chairs, hammocks, etc. as a private leisure place. It's also fun to set up a grill from time to time and have a little barbecue or something.

In fact, the balcony of Ms. Cao’s house is empty, there are a few clothes rails and metal clothes racks, and a very special wooden shelf is placed in the corner of one end of the clothes rack. There is a triangular fork and a horizontal bar on the shelf. There is a thin metal chain tied to the crossbar. I don't know what it is for?

Lu Fei walked around on the balcony and checked everything carefully. Suddenly, she stopped in front of the wooden shelf and stretched out her hand to pinch something from the shelf. Qin Yang could see clearly that what she pinched was a piece of wood. Root hair, the short feather of a bird.
