Chapter 19 No.19 Scene. Jewelry Theft

"...that's how it happened."

"I didn't have any business last night, so I just sat here and read novels on my mobile phone. This mall is quite lively at night, and there are many customers, but these days, there are no other people who come to buy jewelry except for the couple who are getting married. "

"Ahem, I got off topic, it was about eight o'clock in the evening, it should be, the novels I read are usually updated at eight o'clock in the evening, and I was reading new chapters at that time, so it must have been after eight o'clock, anyway, it was that At that moment, a man came to the counter."

"He seems to be wearing a T-shirt, jeans, looks not very clean, wearing a mask, oh, mask, I should have known, it was so hot last night, wouldn't he be too hot, it must have been a long time ago Premeditated, stupid of me, really."

"...Uh, I'm sorry to digress again, that man, um, that man said he wanted to help his girlfriend pick out a necklace, preferably with gemstones, he spoke quite standard Mandarin, he didn't feel like a local ...Well, I thought it was strange at the time, what kind of girl would like such an exaggerated style? They are all man-made, very cheap... Well, let’s not talk about this, anyway, I took out a sample according to his request, and then..."

"Then, I didn't know what happened. It seemed that I was stunned for a moment, and he disappeared, together with several accessories in the counter. Alas, they were all the most valuable. I am a part-time teller, the police Comrade, what do you think should be done?"

After listening to the description of the counter clerk who was robbed, Chen Chuchuan of Jiangdong Branch of Jingjiang City frowned slightly.

He asked some simple on-site conditions before putting away the recording pen.

"Let's sort out the recordings, let's go and see the surveillance video."

He and his colleagues went to the security room of the mall and called up the surveillance video from last night.

It can be seen that a medium-sized, dark-skinned man came to the counter of the jewelry counter, exchanged a few words with the teller, and handed out a string of flamboyant necklaces inlaid with rubies. It's normal.

Then, the teller's movements suddenly became sluggish, like the unconscious actions of a very sleepy person. She took out a few more pieces of jewelry from the counter, slowly packed them, and handed them to the man. Afterwards, the man followed suit. He left the shopping mall without taking pictures of the route he left. It was not until a few minutes later that the teller suddenly woke up and yelled.

That's the case with surveillance footage.

As for why the incident last night was only reported this morning, it was mainly because the teller's explanation was a little outrageous, and it was initially regarded as self-intentional theft. It was not until the police were called in the morning and the monitoring was called that something was wrong.

"It's hard to do."

His colleague sighed with emotion.

"Yes, it's difficult."

Chen Chuchuan knew that when encountering this kind of situation, nine times out of ten the crimes were committed by those who had been promoted, and those who could directly affect ordinary people were probably not the lowest level ones.

The phone rang, and Chen Chuchuan looked at the caller ID.

Internal code 10000.

Naturally, this is not the customer service number of a telecommunications company. In the Zhuxia Federation and the police system, there is only one possibility behind this number, and that is the Abyssal Relic Affairs Department.

He was surprised, but also had a premonition that it was true, and pressed the call button.

"Is it Comrade Chen Chuchuan?"

On the other end of the phone, there was a clear and pleasant female voice.

"Correct."

Chen Chuchuan suddenly stood up straight. Although he knew that there was no one else around, a certain sense of oppression made him subconsciously tense up, as if he was being spied on through the phone.

"Bring a copy of the surveillance video and the case record, come to the second floor of the Jingjiang World Shopping Center diagonally across the road, and buy a movie ticket at 9:[-] in Hall [-], row [-], row [-]."

The female voice on the phone was flat, as normal as a teacher assigning homework to a student.

"Wait......"

Chen Chuchuan wanted to ask something else, but the other party continued to speak.

"You have six minutes."

Then hang up the phone, leaving only a busy tone.

Chen Chuchuan stood there in a daze for a while, then put down his phone, his face was ugly.

The people in the Abyssal Relics Affairs Department are all so weird!

This is not the first time he has cooperated with people from the Department of Abyssal Relics Affairs. About three years ago, Chen Chuchuan participated in the detection of a homicide case related to ascended people. Of course, he only participated in the beginning. After the ascendant was related, the case was immediately transferred there. As for later, the case was probably solved. Anyway, Chen Chuchuan searched all the files he could see, but there was no record of that case.

At that time, the people who handed over to him were also weird, chattering, and extra stingy, which made people angry.

After that, Chen Chuchuan also came into contact with some cases of ascenders, but they were all first-order.

Well, the police can still handle cases related to first-level ascenders. After all, those guys are equivalent to ordinary people with better physical fitness. It can only be handed over to the Observatory and the Abyssal Relic Affairs Department.

"Mysterious and mysterious!"

Chen Chuchuan is 32 years old and has been working for ten years, but he still has some drive. He doesn't like an organization like the Department of Abyssal Relics Affairs that usually doesn't speak well.

However, since the other party had already called, Chen Chuchuan could only obediently pick up the transcripts and the copy of the surveillance video compiled by his colleagues, greeted them, and came to the Jingjiang World Shopping Center across the road.

Compared with the Smiling Commercial Building where the crime happened, this shopping mall is not considered prosperous. The KTV on the fifth floor and the Jingjiang Cinema on the second floor are more famous.

The two shopping malls belong to Jingshang Group and New World Group respectively. The commercial confrontation was quite fierce in the past few years, but then Jingjiang World Shopping Center completely declined.

Chen Chuchuan was wearing casual clothes, so no one paid attention to him.

This weekend, there were quite a lot of people in the cinema on the second floor. You can see young couples everywhere, parents with their children going out, and for some reason, there are people in puppet costumes distributing leaflets.

After buying the tickets, Chen Chuchuan glanced at the people who were waiting for the tickets to enter, and tried to find the inspector of the Abyssal Relics Affairs Department.

But soon, Chen Chuchuan discovered something.

That is the movie ticket he bought, not for a new movie.

It's a drama about childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts from the old days. This is part of the nostalgia project that Zhuxia Federation of Cinemas has been working on recently. Some old-era movies are regularly screened to remember the glory of the past. Some schools will also organize students to watch in groups.

But for ordinary viewers, they hardly spend money to watch it.

Very few people watched this show.

That's right, why go to the cinema to watch a rerun movie on a big weekend.

Chen Chuchuan walked into the movie theater. During the boring advertisement time, he kept paying attention to the people around him. Unfortunately, there was nothing worth paying attention to.

It wasn't until the opening subtitles of the movie appeared that Chen Chuchuan felt footsteps behind him.

He was about to go back and see what was going on...

"Don't look back."

The other party said softly.

Chen Chuchuan remembered that voice very clearly, it was the guy who called him just now.

He is the Inspector of the Abyssal Relic Affairs Department!

"I understand your thoughts, but the rules are like this. It's better for us not to know each other."

The other party's voice was cold, in stark contrast to the warm-toned movie.

indeed.

The Abyssal Relic Affairs Department is generally just a name to ordinary people, and most of the people working there keep it secret from the outside world.

On the one hand, it is to prevent other forces from inquiring about the system and strength of the national upgraders, and on the other hand, it is also to protect the families of these inspectors from being harmed by criminals.

Alas, from this perspective, Chen Chuchuan can understand these colleagues who are hiding in the shadows a little bit.

Sighing secretly, he didn't look back, but in the empty movie theater, he handed over the U disk with the copied video and the case record.

At the same time as the male protagonist alienated the female protagonist because of a misunderstanding, the sound of flipping files came from behind Chen Chuchuan.

He waited for 10 minutes, and when Chen Chuchuan thought the other party had left and was about to turn back, the other party's voice came again.

"What do you think?"

What do I think?

In this kind of case, will we ask the opinions of ordinary people like us?

Chen Chuchuan was short-circuited for a moment.

However, soon, another voice came from behind him.

"This guy has a lot of knowledge."

It was a male voice.
