Gene of Brilliant City 13 Division

Chapter 334 Gold Diggers
The sun at 10 o'clock in the morning is very pleasant regardless of the temperature and brightness. Gene is standing at the door of an jewelry store. It is the largest jewelry store in District 1 and has a lot of small items.

This shop called Pringles sells a large number of small craft objects made of real materials. It has three floors in total, a facade nearly 10 meters long, a small door in the middle, and glass display windows on both sides.

Jean stood at the display window on the left, looking at the colorful small items inside, and rubbing the coins in his hand. This is the only shop in District 1 that can use metal to make small items after obtaining a license.

There are small colorful bells of various shapes, small carved pendants, decorative pendants of various styles, and a large number of hollow carved metal objects. The first floor is full of these small objects, and the second floor is larger. There are many hand-painted paintings on the third floor.

The price is not low. Gene casually glanced at a palm-sized bronze jewelry with a hexagonal hollow pattern in the middle, and it cost 136 yuan.

All the monitoring data of the female suspect who committed suicide in front of Le Xiao have been investigated. She has never been to the lower floors. Metals may still be available in the lower floors. When the security station reviews and distributes food every month, there will be many lower floors. Small merchants from around the world buy some metal objects, which are another source of income for the people in the barrier area, and they can exchange a lot of liquid food with the merchants, and the merchants dissolve these metals and sell them to some accessories that require metals shop.

In Gene's pocket, there was still the knives twisted by Quasimodo, and he stepped in slowly.

There are a lot of weird gadgets inside, and there are many kinds. There are many people in this shop, and there are some mechanical clockworks, which will be driven all the time. Gene looked casually, and there are also many iron products.

Most of the metals are modified by over-density compression, so they are very strong. The finger knife in Jean's hand is the same, but the traces of grinding are more obvious.

Nowadays, we have the technology to directly restore the debris to the original atoms. Whether it is metal or stone, it is a permanently recyclable resource.

The store is very large, nearly 20 meters deep. Gene looked at it casually. Many people in the store recognized him, and some women leaned over excitedly.

What Gene suspects is that this finger knife is an iron product bought in this store. After being melted with reduction technology, it is made into a sharp knife. The purpose of his visit today is to investigate the sales of the store. Record whether the suspect has ever come here to buy iron or not.

This is a point that was missed after the investigation by Section 5. They directly suspected that the rioters provided the woman and other suspects with criminal tools, but Gene didn’t think so, because the 13 cases except Zou Lin’s case were relatively special. In addition, judging from the actions of the female suspect who committed suicide, they were all independent crimes.

Independent crimes are the most difficult to investigate, that's why people in Section 5 have such a headache now. From criminal methods to crime tools, as well as independent and complete criminal processes, and meticulous planning, what Jean thought of was what C131 gave her when she contacted Le Xiao. The plan to evade the monitoring provided was indeed effective, with the assistance of that fat man Luo Han.

Most crimes are easily solved by at least two or more people, because the integrity will be broken due to the cooperation of multiple people, and even people will betray others in order to protect themselves. In this case, there is no physical evidence, and the only one who knows The woman in one case is dead and the other is mentally ill.

Among the 12 people who were killed, there were 5 women and 7 men, and the suspects who had a close relationship with them have now been locked in 125 people, and among the 125 people who had a long-standing grudge with the deceased, it is difficult to investigate, More or less there has been a certain degree of friction.

Therefore, Gene believes that this is a premeditated and refined crime, which may have been committed 10 years or more ago, rather than a crime that was committed in a short period of time. This crime is easily exposed, and time is the biggest factor in this crime. Accomplice.

"Oh, Master Jin, is there anything you fancy? We still have a lot of things in our store."

At this moment, a gentle man wearing gold-rimmed glasses came over, smiling flatteringly, and Gene took out the twisted finger knife, and the boss's face became serious in an instant.

"Master Jin, we don't sell this kind of stuff in our store"

Gene smiled and pushed the boss on the shoulder, and patted him.

"It's okay, I came here today just to ask."

After a while, the boss took Gene to his office, called up a light and shadow screen, entered the name of the female suspect, and then began to search in the huge store database, but there was no result.

"Master Jin, every piece of metal we sell will have strict and detailed customer records, all of which can be found, and we will never sell things privately, after all"

Gene put the knives on the table, stood up and said.

"Help me look it up, I want information on all formal and informal metalworking craftsmen in District 1."

The boss lowered his head in embarrassment, with fear in his eyes.

"As the first gold digger at the upper level, your store has been open for 20 years, and there should be black and white lists. I just want to ask you for a small favor."

The boss nodded and put away the finger knife. He understood what Gene meant. To find out who processed this finger knife, this kind of sharpened knife cannot be made by ordinary people. Only professional craftsmen will do.

After Gene stood up, walked to the door of the office, tilted his head and said.

"Call me when you find it."

The boss smiled and nodded, but at this moment his heart was in pain. After Gene left, he felt a little restless. Nearly one-third of his shop was illegally obtained metals, and it was indeed with Many artisans with official licenses and those without official licenses have close contacts. Two-thirds of the handicrafts in the store are processed by those black artisans, because they have no licenses and are not qualified to process, but the price is low , It is usually processed at home, and the cooperation with those official craftsmen is just to make good accounts and deceive people.

In the past, there used to be quite a few shops like this on the upper floor, but they were all eliminated one by one under the strategy of this shrewd boss named Moores. He first recruited a large number of designers from the art district, and then used Their interests bound them, so that they could not provide creative design drawings to other shops, and they began to report and suppress other shops, because they more or less cooperated with black artisans, and as a result, many shops were finally unable to support the expensive real estate and closed their doors. .

But at this moment, Morse is terrified. This knife is obviously an absolutely controlled object, and thinking of the previous murder case, Morse is very clear. Although Section 5 claimed a few days ago that this was a case caused by drugs, Morse, who is well versed in this, knew that this was just a rhetoric from the Operations Department. Today, when Gene came to investigate in person, he knew more clearly that it was not a simple case, and that it might be related to rioters. Once he was involved, it would be over.

"Those damned guys, who is involved in it?"
