Urban Night Returner

There are troublesome things all the time.As soon as Shen Gu went to work, he first received a document from the bureau: a batch of cultural relics had flowed into Binhai, and the bureau asked all police stations to pay more attention in their jurisdictions, and never allow these cultural relics to flow overseas again.

Sister Chen, who sat across the table, sighed helplessly: "Cultural relics... There are so many fakes now, even if we put this thing in front of our eyes, we won't be able to recognize it..."

Shen Gu looked at the pictures attached to the document.There are a lot of miscellaneous items, including bronze nobles from the Warring States Period, parts of chariots from the Qin Dynasty, and hairpins from the Han Dynasty... Shen Gu knows almost nothing about antiques. It's no different, even if the transaction is in front of him, he may not be able to tell the difference.He turned to the last one. It was an iron sword. Although it was a picture, it could be seen that the blade was very sharp. Distinguish two small characters: Thai and Ah.

"If these things are really rare cultural relics, they will definitely not appear in the cultural relics market casually. If they are to be traded, they will be traded privately. We small police stations don't even have any insiders. How can we find out! It is also the customs that needs to be checked. Should you pay attention over there?"

Shen Gu really couldn't resist the nagging of the aunt and big sister, and stood up holding the picture: "Since there is a notice from the bureau, I'll go to Wenhua Street to have a look, maybe I can get some clues."

"Hey, the Cultural Street is not under our control..."

Shen Gu frowned, the phone rang suddenly, Sister Chen picked it up, her face changed without saying a few words, and she turned to Shen Gu: "Xiao Shen, there have been fatalities in our area. A dead body. You, you go and have a look."

When Shen Gu arrived, the place had been isolated, and the police were inside to check the scene.Shen Gu saw a familiar face at a glance. It was the little policeman who was in charge of the Romana case. According to Zuo Jian, he just joined the criminal police team shortly after graduating from the police academy. Because he was dark, everyone called him Xiao Heizi. Wu and no one called.Xiao Heizi also saw him, took off his gloves and walked over: "Is this area under your jurisdiction?"

Shen Gu nodded: "You guys came very quickly."

"Is it okay if you don't hurry? The scene is almost destroyed."

"How did you die?"

"I was stabbed to death. The murder weapon was not at the scene, leaving a footprint, but it was almost trampled by the spectators, and it was basically useless. Do you know him? Are you from your area?"

Shen Gu went over to take a look, the deceased had no special features, he was the kind that hardly left an impression on people, he was only in his twenties, dressed in ordinary clothes, he was stabbed in the neck and abdomen, and the blood from the blood Judging from the condensation situation, he died last night.There were no traces of struggle around, and the forensic doctor next to him was taking out a shriveled wallet from the deceased's pocket, which contained two pink and one green tickets, a bus pass and an ID card.Shen Gu glanced at it, the deceased was called Xia Tian, ​​from Laixi.

Frowning, Xiao Heizi turned over his ID card several times, and muttered, "I'm most afraid of this kind of migrant worker. It's the hardest thing to check... I have to call the Lacey Bureau immediately."

Shen Gu asked him: "How come Captain Zuo hasn't seen you these days?"

Little Heizi glanced at him: "Captain Zuo has gone back to Sichuan."

Shen Gu was sure he was lying.Little Heizi still has too little experience, if he hadn't raised his head and looked at him so vigilantly, this answer would have been more believable.Therefore, he was even more sure that Zuo Jian should have gone on a mission.

"Little Heizi—" the forensic doctor shouted over there, and Shen Gu followed. The forensic doctor had already picked up a handkerchief-like thing from the fallen leaves. It was a piece of white thick cotton cloth. It can be seen that it has been washed very clean.There are neat folds on the cotton cloth, it seems that it is usually folded and stored.Little Heizi picked it up with two fingers, looked at it, and muttered, "There's no fingerprints on it..." He put it on his nose and smelled it, "It smells like earth, maybe it was just thrown away by others."

The forensic doctor casually gave him a pat on the back of the head, with a look of resentment: "Everything at the scene may be a clue. How did you graduate from the police academy? You also entered the criminal police team!"

Xiao Heizi touched his head and put the cotton cloth into a sealed bag: "I'm just talking casually..."

The forensic doctor snorted, and went forward with the bag. Xiao Heizi scratched his head, looked at Shen Gu, and put on a businesslike look: "Well, comrade, since people died in your area, please help me to check , to see if the deceased is living here or something, if you have any news, please call us."

Shen Gu spent a day walking all over the area, but still had no clues. Obviously, this person does not live in this area.It was getting dark before he got home, Zhong Lecen had already put the food on the table and was waiting for him.

"What is that?" Shen Gu saw at a glance that there was a stand on the cabinet directly opposite the door. Plastic knives and swords were crossed and inserted in the seat. look.

"The exhibition center will hold a brief introduction to military history in a few days, as well as an exhibition of cold weapons. The exhibits inside are said to be antique and refined. Although they are not authentic, they are also very valuable. Because it is for young people, the price is half the price. I went to see it yesterday. He brought it to me as a souvenir from others." Zhong Lecen said, touching the model cherishingly.

Shen Gu pondered for a while: "When will the exhibition be?" Zhong Lecen has compensated the landlord for Su Wan's loss since the last time. Although he didn't mention how much he paid, Shen Gu also guessed that he must have no money in his hand.Up to now, he is still wearing the clothes he came to 503 that day, without even a coat.Fortunately, the weather is warm now, otherwise it will definitely be frozen.Although Shen Gu doesn't charge his rent, he always buys vegetables every day. The place of the clinic is rented, and the rent has to be paid on time...so he is reluctant to even go to an exhibition.

"By the end of the month."

Shen Gu calculated how long it would take, and nodded.

Since it is Zhong Lecen who cooks, then Shen Gu does the dishes, which can be regarded as an unwritten rule between the two.In the past, Shen Gu would do it directly, but after Zhong Lecen came, he prepared a dish towel.Holding the soft cloth in his hand, Shen Gu suddenly remembered the white cloth that fell at the murder scene.The police have confirmed that there is no trace of the body moving, indicating that the small forest is the first scene, and the piece of coarse cotton is probably related to the murderer.But who would wear such a rough cloth on their body?What is the use of carrying it?Still folded so neatly...

Zhong Lecen came in with fruit to wash, saw Shen Gu staring at the dishes in a daze, and cautiously approached and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable? How about I wash the dishes."

Shen Gu shook his head, and pressed the bowl into the water: "Have you ever seen someone who likes to wear cheesecloth?"

Zhong Lecen was confused by his question: "What cheesecloth?"

Shen Gu briefly explained the situation: "The white thick cotton cloth is relatively hard. It seems that people used it to make bed sheets and curtains a long time ago, but it has long since disappeared. It was washed very clean and folded neatly. , it can’t be used as a handkerchief.”

Zhong Lecen frowned in thought, biting his lips unconsciously, biting back and forth until his lips were red and moist, like some kind of fresh fruit.He didn't wear those plain glasses at home, and he showed thick long eyelashes, fluttering around like little wings, his hands were itchy, and he really wanted to grab those two little wings and grab them.

"What do you want to say? Hesitating." In just a few days, Shen Gu has already seen all of Zhong Lecen's little habits: bowing his head means he doesn't want to answer, or he's lying; frowning means thinking, and biting his lips when he hesitates; The eyes are inspired.Now this look is like thinking of something but not knowing whether to say it or not.

"I know that there is a kind of person who may wear cheesecloth, but I don't know if it is the kind of cloth you are talking about."

"Whoever it is, tell me first, it's still a clue anyway. It doesn't matter if it's wrong, it's the police's job to eliminate wrong clues. Tell me, who would carry this thing with them? Cleaners?"

Zhong Lecen laughed: "The cleaner brought a rag, so it wouldn't be very clean. Besides, why would the cleaner bring a rag with him when he's not working!"

"Yeah." Shen Gu just wanted to make him smile, "Then why do you say that someone would bring this thing?"

"The person who is panning jade."

"Panyu?"

"Yes. People who play with jade love to play with ancient jade. Most of the unearthed ancient jade is colored, but because it is buried in the soil, the color is dull, and it will not show the luster without panning. Panyu has a quick panning method. It is to carry the ancient jade on the body, keep it in the air for a moment, and then rub it with a thick cotton cloth until it is slightly hot. Because it needs to be rubbed repeatedly whenever it is free, people who use this jade pan method will carry it with them Bring a cloth so that it can be used to rub jade anytime and anywhere."

"Oh? This is really a useful clue!" Shen Gu wiped his hands and touched Zhong Lecen's head casually, "I'll call the little policeman."

Zhong Lecen held up a fruit knife to protest: "You can't touch a man's head!"

Shen Gu squinted at him: "So what if you touch it?"

Zhong Lecen was so angry that he gestured at him with a fruit knife, Shen Gu raised his little finger at him disdainfully, and called Xiao Heizi.Little Heizi became excited when he heard his words.He had already found out that the deceased was an elevator maintenance worker in Jinyu Building in Xia Tian, ​​but he hadn't gone to work for several days.He lives in the simple dormitory provided by Mrs. Xiao, and the people in the same dormitory say that he goes out at dawn these days, because he does not work in the same department, and no one knows that he does not go to work.Xia Tian went out the night before yesterday, and never came back after leaving.In his dormitory, the police found a catalog of the Shanghai Duoyunxuan Spring Antique Auction in 95, in which several lines were circled by ballpoint pens, all of which were white jade auctions.

"With the clue you provided, it must have something to do with Yu. I'll go to Wenhua Street to inquire about the situation tomorrow morning."

Shen Gu pondered for a while: "It just so happens that I have something to go to."

"Okay!" Xiao Heizi was very excited, "Captain Zuo called back yesterday, and I only found out when I asked him, my boy, I dare say you are a special soldier! Or a sharpshooter! Then I have to ask you for advice."

Shen Gu sighed, and splashed cold water on the excited little policeman: "You'd better solve this case first."

The next day, Shen Gu and Xiao Heizi met at Wenhua Street.As a result, at the end of the day, Xiao Heizi made a lot of gains, but Shen Gu made no progress.

As expected, Xia Tian has been haunting Wenhua Street in the past few days, and the owners of several jade shops have seen him.Anyone who plays with jade knows the truth that people should not be judged by their appearance. Sometimes the more they look at the poor and blue-clothed people, the more they can suddenly come up with good goods. Therefore, although Xia Tian is dressed in general and very young, They didn't dare to underestimate it at all.But Xia Tian didn't take out anything, just kept inquiring about the price of jade in the shop, and what he asked was all white jade.There was a shop owner whose treasure was a Zigang style white jade brand. He still remembered that Xia Tian walked around the jade brand for a long time and asked him how much the white jade brand would cost if it was the size of a cigarette case.The shop owner took a lot of time to explain to him the impact of knife craftsmanship and inscription on the price of jade, so he was very impressed.

"So, Xia Tian probably has a piece of white jade the size of a cigarette case in his hand, and he was probably killed because of this piece of jade."

Xiao Heizi slapped his thigh: "Yes! Adding what you said yesterday, this matter is almost done. The person who killed him must have taken a fancy to his piece of jade, and he is also in this business. The problem is, the piece of jade in Xia Tian Where did the jade come from? He asked the price on Wenhua Street just a few days ago, which means that this jade was also obtained in the past few days. But he had been working normally before, did this jade suddenly fall from the sky? ? No, I have to check again to see if he has any clues in his hometown. Hey, what are you doing in Wenhua Street today? I see that the picture you took is a bronze ware, for the batch of cultural relics that flowed into the black market? Hey, this Do the police have to take care of things too?"

Shen Gu gave him a cold sideways look: "What's wrong with the Pian'er police?"

Xiao Heizi felt that he had made a slip of the tongue, and said with a silly smile: "No, nothing. Then I'll go first, and treat you to dinner when I have time."

Shen Gu was angry and funny.After wandering around for a while, he basically didn't get any useful clues.Many stall owners said that most of the things in this picture are not treasures, and there are similar things in the market, even if they are traded, they will not leave a deep impression on people, but the sword is considered a big one, but such things Generally no one will trade publicly in the market.Shen Gu can only let them pay attention, if there is a similar transaction in the near future, ask them to call the police station or something.But he also saw that although these people agreed verbally, they are all in this industry, and no one wants to offend others. If something is sold to them, they may pass a message, but if they don't find themselves, they will probably stay open. I closed my eyes.

Not a few steps out of Wenhua Street, Shen Gu's cell phone rang, and when he picked it up, Xiao Lai's voice came: "Brother Shen? Come quickly, Brother Le Cen has fainted!"

Shen Gu hailed a taxi and rushed over. When he arrived, Zhong Lecen was already awake, leaning back on the chair with a pale face, and Xiao Lai poured water for him while wiping tears.Shen Gu rushed in, causing another barking of dogs and cats.Shen Gu yelled: "Take the curtain!" Suddenly there was no sound in the room, all the animals shrank to the corner of the cage, and Xiao Lai shrank to the corner of the wall.

Zhong Lecen looked at him weakly: "Don't scare them. Lai, hurry up and get the curtain."

Shen Gu interrupted him simply: "What's going on?"

Zhong Lecen forced a smile: "It's nothing, just dizziness. I have hypoglycemia, an old problem."

Xiao Lai whispered while hanging the curtain: "Brother Le Cen, you don't eat—"

Before Zhong Lecen had time to stop him, Shen Gu's eyebrows were raised: "Don't you want to eat?"

Under Zhong Lecen's pleading eyes, Xiao Lai bravely said: "Brother Lecen hasn't eaten lunch for several days."

Shen Gu's raised eyebrows returned to their original positions, and he looked at Zhong Lecen calmly: "I'm not so stingy that I refuse to lend you money, am I?" He knew that Zhong Lecen had no money, but who knew that he skipped lunch to save money?If I had known that this would be the case, I should have given him money regardless of his self-esteem.

Shen Gu's tone and expression were very calm, but Zhong Lecen and Xiao Lai fought coldly together.Zhong Lecen shrank himself a little smaller, and said in a low voice, "No. I have a chronic problem, just hypoglycemia. I haven't eaten for a few days, but I'm a little busy these days..."

Shen Gu grabbed his waist and half lifted him up: "Go, go to the hospital."

Zhong Lecen was shocked: "What hospital are you going to!" Now he is not weak anymore, he is writhing in Shen Gu's arms like a fish, "It costs 5 yuan to register in the hospital!"

Shen Gu's arms tightened: "Be honest! Go as soon as you are told!"

Zhong Lecen was easily subdued by him, and begged pitifully: "I really don't need to go to the hospital, whoever has hypoglycemia will go to the hospital!"

Shen Gu said coldly: "It's not treating your hypoglycemia, you should see anorexia, and then go see your eyes."

Zhong Lecen blinked his eyes for a while before he understood Shen Gu's meaning. At first he thought he was telling a bad joke, but after seeing Shen Gu's expression, he realized that he would really take him to the ophthalmology department, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "I was wrong. I, I am In the past few days, I have taken some medicine and have no money. Really, there is a customer who pays monthly, and he will pay me next week, so I didn't say... I'm afraid you will worry. "

The last sentence was the right way, Shen Gu relaxed his arms a bit, but his tone was still cold: "Then you have to go to the hospital."

Zhong Lecen desperately made the last struggle: "Then go to Konghua's clinic, he won't charge me registration fee."

The clinic is near Jilian Bar, and Shen Gu was not used to seeing Konghua in a white coat for the first time.Kong Hua was also surprised when he saw them: "Le Cen, what's wrong with you?"

Zhong Lecen drooped his head: "Hypoglycemia."

"Did you drink sugar water?"

"Drinked."

Kong Hua took a look at Shen Gu, meaning that if he had low blood sugar, he would be fine if he drank sugar water, why did he come to the hospital?Shen Gu glared at Zhong Lecen: "I want to check his stomach." It must not be a day or two for such a hungry and full meal. It would be strange if Zhong Lecen's stomach was fine.

Konghua sighed: "There is no need to check, he has a slight gastric ulcer."

Shen Gu raised his eyebrows: "Slightly?"

Zhong Lecen nodded immediately, and was thrown behind by Shen Gu's glance.Kong Hua adjusted his glasses: "Then come in and check again."
