The prosperous era of courtyard houses

Chapter 372, Confirm Suspicion

Li Weiguo glanced at them casually, with a calm expression on his face, pretending to be a customer, lowering his head and looking at the items on the stall intently.

Looking at it, hey, let’s not forget that there are quite a lot of things. There are dozens of things on a mere two square stalls.

There are court beads, Ruyi, purses, sachets, snuff bottles, jade pendants, Qinxue ancient jade, old beeswax, pearl bracelets, etc.

In addition to these, there are other miscellaneous porcelain, pottery, lacquerware and buried gold, silverware and copper coins.

Not only the stall in front of me, but the two old Pao'er stalls on the left and right also have similar items. They also have all kinds of jewelry, antiques, gold and silverware and copper coins buried with them, and there are a lot of them.

Li Weiguo casually picked up a handful of Yongzheng Tongbao from the stall, and with the help of the weak flashlight light, Li Weiguo took a few glances and figured it out.

Anyone who knows the art doesn't need to look at anything else. Just by looking at the Qinxue ancient jade and those copper coins with obvious earth Qin characteristics, they will know that these are burial objects raised from the ground.

Moreover, it hasn’t been too long since the food was taken out, and everything on the stall still smells like earth.

In this way, even if these three turtle grandsons have nothing to do with Zhao Shichao's tomb robbery case, they must be related to a certain group of tomb robbers, otherwise there would be no way there would be so many Qing Dynasty burial objects.

After confirming the suspicions of the three of them, Li Weiguo was no longer in a hurry. Instead, he squatted in front of the stall and picked like an idle customer. After picking for a long time, he picked out a piece of Qinxue ancient jade and two strings of delicate The morning pearl comes.

"How do you sell these three items?" Li Weiguo looked up at the scarred eye stall owner and asked in a low voice.

The scarred eye stall owner was still worried about the business just now. Now that he saw him asking for the price, his eyes lit up. He quickly replied in a low voice: "Five yuan for ancient jade, eight yuan for chaozu. I want all three." If so, I’ll give you a cheaper price, twenty yuan.”

Li Weiguo couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard the turtle grandson's offer.

Nowadays, if you ask a high price for food, no one will say anything, but these playthings, whether they are eaten or drank, cannot be sold at a high price at all.

There are four to five hundred stalls in the ghost market, basically selling these similar things, and you may not be able to sell much in one night.

Especially this kind of thing that comes out of the ground, you are so unclean and you have the nerve to ask for so much, you really take him for granted.

"Three pieces together, five yuan!"

Li Weiguo was not polite and gave him a knife on his ankle.

When Scar Eye heard the price, he immediately became anxious and argued in a low voice: "No one is bargaining like this. These three pieces are all high-quality products. If you put them in a trust store, they would cost 11 or 2 yuan each. "

Li Weiguo sneered and said, "Then why don't you take it to a trust store and sell it?"

"I"

Scar Eye choked up and had nothing to say.

The trust store can indeed sell it at a higher price, but if he had the courage to go to the trust store to sell it, he wouldn't have to stay up late at night and come out to feed the mosquitoes.

Now the three of them have been squatting here for an hour or two, and they haven't placed a single order yet.

He had no choice but to see that the man in front of him was also knowledgeable. Scary Eyes hesitated for a moment, not wanting to lose this business, so he simply agreed with a wave of his hand and motioned for him to pay.

Seeing him like this, Li Weiguo smiled secretly. He was willing to sell such a cutting method. It seemed that this guy was quite anxious to make a move, so he didn't bother with him, handed him a red five yuan, and casually took the ancient jade and the He put away the two strings of beads and stood up to leave.

He didn't walk very far, crossed the road, and walked about thirty or forty meters, before Li Weiguo found a hidden corner to hang out for a while.

Prepare to wait for Scar Eye and the others to close their stall, follow them, confirm their addresses, and then check their details to see if you can gain anything.

At this time, the location of the corner chosen by Li Weiguo was just right. It was dark and dim all around, surrounded by buildings and debris on the left and right. With his night market skills, he could clearly see the ghost market opposite with a casual glance across the road. There was a row of people setting up the stall, including Scar Eye and the three of them.

But with such a long distance and such a dark environment, it was impossible for Scar Eye and the others to see him. They had no idea that there was a person plotting against them on the other side of the road not far away.

Summer nights in the imperial capital were stuffy and hot, and from time to time mosquitoes would fly to your ears "buzzing", trying to take the opportunity to suck a mouthful of blood.

Time passed quickly, more than two hours passed in the blink of an eye. When it was almost five o'clock, the sky became slightly brighter, and stall owners began to pack up their things and leave one after another.

The three people with scarred eyes on the opposite side saw that the time was almost up and had no intention of continuing, so they followed the large army and prepared to get up, pack their things and leave.

Their movements were very quick, and it was obvious that they had been practicing their stalls for a long time. They packed up the items on the stalls in three strokes, lifted up the four corners of the stalls, and wrapped everything in the stalls directly. Put it on your shoulder, pick it up and walk away.

When Li Weiguo saw it, he let out a long sigh of relief. Finally, by the time they closed the stall, surveillance at night was really not a job that ordinary people could do.

After waiting for more than two hours, it was stuffy and hot, and there were so many mosquitoes. He used the space to collect mosquitoes and he didn't know how many hundreds of them he collected. If it were an ordinary person, they would have been carried away by the mosquitoes by now. gone.

Seeing Scar Eye and the other three people gradually walking away, Li Weiguo followed them quietly without saying a word.

He didn't follow them too closely, hanging far behind them about 70 to 80 meters away.

With his eyesight, the dark night was nothing. Even if he was farther away, he could still see clearly, making it impossible for the other three to escape his sight.

Li Weiguo just hung far behind, quietly following Scar Eye and the other three people, walking in many twists and turns for about twenty minutes, and then he followed them to a large courtyard.

When they arrived at the end of the field, Scar Eye and the other three carefully looked around, and after confirming that no one was around, they quietly entered the courtyard with their packages on their backs.

Two minutes after they entered, Li Weiguo also slowly approached.

When I walked to the entrance of the courtyard, I looked up at the house number at the entrance of the courtyard - [No. 9, Xiaotang Hutong].

Yes, this is already the boundary of Xidan. This is the one who has traveled far enough.

After confirming the addresses of Scar Eye and the others, Li Weiguo started thinking, walked counterclockwise along the wall, scanning all the way, and circled the courtyard for half a circle, and soon found Scar Eye and the three of them in the backyard of the courtyard.

Scar Eye and the three of them lived in the back room in the northeast corner of the backyard. With Li Weiguo's realm of thought, Scar Eye's entire house was easily included in the monitoring range, and the situation in the room was instantly visible.

The back room they lived in was not very big, only about twenty square meters, with only two double beds and some simple furniture.

At this time, Scar Eye and the other three people must have been squatting all night. They were very sleepy and didn't talk much. They drank a glass of water in a hurry, stuffed the packages in their hands under the bed, and then each threw themselves on their own beds to catch up on their sleep. .

Ignoring the scarred three people who threw themselves on the bed to sleep, Li Weiguo thought and began to scan the entire room.

This sweep, hey, not to mention, he really discovered a lot of things.

Excluding the three packages that Scar Eye and the others had just stuffed under the bed, there were two other large boxes under their bed. The boxes contained a large number of antique objects. Judging from the number, there were more than a hundred items. Fill both boxes to the brim.

Moreover, Li Weiguo also found another Hetian jade Chaotianhu tomb beast in the box.

Yes, the old man did indeed identify the wrong person. These things are still the same batch as the twenty or so burial objects he collected. I just don’t know whether these three turtle grandsons are tomb robbers themselves or have some special relationship with the tomb robbers.

After confirming the address and general situation of the three birdmen, Li Weiguo didn't wait long, looked around the environment, and then chose to retreat quietly.

It was already past five o'clock, and the sky was gradually getting brighter. Soon there would be residents who got up early to get up to go to the public toilets, empty urinals, etc. It was not suitable to do other actions, so I simply went back first and made plans later. .

After leaving Xiaotang Alley, Li Weiguo put out the car and left quickly.

When I got home, it was still early, so I got into bed and caught up on a few hours of sleep. I woke up in a daze around eight o'clock in the morning.

The first time he woke up, Li Weiguo did not rush to wash up. Instead, he sat on the bedside, lit a cigarette, and quietly thought about the scarred eyes and the three people and the burial objects.

After finishing one cigarette, he added another.

Originally, he thought about arranging some manpower to investigate when he had clues, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea.

The case of the tomb robber itself is a case of the local public security agency and does not belong to the security department of these state-owned factories.

Moreover, the suspect is in Xidan, which already belongs to the XC District. Not to mention the security department of their steel rolling mill. Even if the comrades of the Dongcheng Branch want to handle cases across districts, they have to say hello to the comrades of the Xicheng Branch in advance.

He was the section chief of the security department of a state-owned factory in Dongcheng District. When he went across districts to investigate some tomb robbery case, he was somewhat suspected of being a meddling dog with rats.

So after thinking for a moment, he still thought it would be more appropriate to report the clues to the police station.

How the police station will report to its superiors later, and how the superiors will coordinate and handle the case, are all matters of the branch and the police station. If any results can be found based on the clues, I believe that based on his relationship with Director Guan and Dong Jianjun, he should It's indispensable, and it's better than having to fiddle around with it in a thankless way.

After figuring things out, Li Weiguo stopped worrying, put out his cigarette butts, and got up quickly to get dressed and wash up.

After brushing my teeth and washing my face, I took out two cornmeal buns from the space, made a simple breakfast, then went out, got in the car, and headed straight to Banchang Alley.
