Urban Night Returner

Chapter 57 The Ancient Sword Is Missing

Shen Gu didn't get through to Zhong Lecen's cell phone, he dialed three times, but no one answered.Of course he didn't know that Zhong Leyang secretly took out his mobile phone from his brother's pocket and threw it on the sofa when he went out, but he was just a little anxious - even in a bar, he couldn't hear it at all, right?But time did not allow him to go to the bar, because he had already set off with the criminal police team.

In recent years, the port throughput of Binhai City has increased day by day, which has undoubtedly added difficulties to the work of the criminal police.A few people dressed as dock staff were watching closely, while Xiao Heizi and Shen Gu were lying in ambush on the periphery.Try to intercept the cultural relics outside the pier, so as not to affect the normal operation of the port, this is the order from above.

"Who knows which one is it?" Xiao Heizi lay motionless, but couldn't help muttering softly.Shen Gu lay down quietly, ignoring him.Young people are just a little impatient, let it out, which is conducive to higher-quality latent.

Vehicles with the museum logo began to pull into the pier.This is the last batch.Binhai City attaches great importance to these exhibits that are about to be exhibited abroad, and specially arranges personnel to handle them. It takes about three hours to complete the shipment and set sail on time.Shen Gu asked in a low voice: "Do you want to open the box for inspection?"

Xiao Heizi also said in a low voice: "No. They are all looking at the sealing of the box. Our people are watching the whole process, so we can prevent people from sneaking in between the boxes." Before he finished speaking, he was stuck in the scope Seeing a car rushing to the front of the exhibition vehicles like the wind, the dock staff was startled and hurried up to stop it.A woman jumped out of the car, and seemed dissatisfied with the blocking of the staff, and the two sides argued.Shen Gu frowned—he had seen this woman before, in the exhibition center, when she used to stand beside Tu Yumen.

"Who is this woman?" Little Heizi was a little puzzled.From a distance, the staff seemed a little confused, as if they didn't understand what she was saying.

Shen Gu suddenly said: "Look at the convoy." Just as the woman was arguing with the staff, a car with the museum logo on it turned around out of nowhere and followed quietly at the rear of the convoy, while the one in front The car is quietly abducted, so the number of vehicles remains the same.

Xiao Heizi immediately connected to the walkie-talkie: "I found the target!"

The police car drove out from the hiding place and surrounded the car that joined in. The car was also very cunning, and when it saw something bad, it turned around and ran away.The woman also turned around and jumped into the car.Shen Gu lightly pulled the trigger, the tire blew out, and the car that had just accelerated hit the guardrail next to it.Two plainclothes policemen ran over to open the car door, but they froze on the spot.

"What's going on?" Xiao Heizi muttered, jumped up from the ambush and ran to the pier, and Shen Gu followed him.When the two went over to look, the car was empty, and the two plainclothes looked at each other in blank dismay—they obviously watched people jump into the car and crashed into it, and when they opened the door, the person was gone. Could it be that they could fly?Even flying, so many pairs of eyes can see!

Shen Gu poked his head into the car to have a look, and then picked up a small piece of paper from under the pedal.The paper is not ordinary office printing paper, but a thicker tissue paper similar to rice paper, and it has been cut into a human shape.He has seen this kind of paper before, once such a piece was cut into a butterfly shape, and then burned through a hole by the light reflected by Zhong Lecen's Yangsun.Tsuchimikado, what is his plan?

It wasn't very hard to catch up to that car.Shen Gu and Xiao Heizi also got into the police car and chased after them.About two hours later, news came from the front that the car was blocked on the highway, but the driver was missing.Shen Gu didn't need to look to know that there must be a piece of human-shaped paper in the car.

Xiao Heizi breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, nothing leaked out."

Shen Gu felt something was wrong.It seemed that this victory came too easily.

"Let's go see those things."

Little Heizi hesitated a bit: "Well, this thing may not be ours."

"Just take a look. We chased it back, can't you just look at it?"

Little Heizi gave in.

There are indeed a lot of things. Although they cannot fill a container, they are all wrapped in multiple layers of silk and stuffed into a large box.The city invited two cultural relics researchers to deal with it.Shen Gu watched them carefully peel off the things one by one, take photos and store them as evidence, and then wrap them up as they were, feeling very strange in his heart.

"What's in here?"

The younger one of the two staff members is more talkative: "Most of them are cultural relics from the Song Dynasty and a few from the Warring States Period. Although they are not high-quality goods, they are all treasures."

Shen Gu pondered for a moment.The word Warring States touched him: "Is there a sword?"

"Yes. The most valuable thing here is the sword." The staff was busy taking pictures of a bronze baron, and pointed to a long object next to it with his chin.That one was placed at the bottom, and I haven't had time to unpack it yet.Shen Gu stretched out his hand and wanted to grab it, but the staff member shouted in fright: "Don't move!"

Shen Gu blocked him with a backhand, and shook the outermost silk floss with his other hand. The staff watched the sword circle in mid-air, and their hearts trembled.Shen Gu tore off the silk wrapped around the hilt of the sword a few times, and sure enough, the two small gold-plated characters of "Tai'a" were very clear.

"This is a fake!" Shen Gu stood up, "This is the one from the exhibition, it's really on the boat!"

At dawn, the criminal police team returned in a shambles.

"How do you know it's fake?" Xiao Heizi looked frustrated.Although most of the dozens of cultural relics have been recovered, according to the staff, none of the recovered ones can compare to the ancient sword.

Shen Gu didn't answer: "Immediately search for a Japanese named Tsuchimikado Ichiro, who contacted him to set up an exhibition in Japan. Maybe his real name is not this name, but the loss of the sword must be related to him."

When the police car drove back to the station, Shen Gu saw Zhong Lecen wandering around the door at a glance, and both of them said at the same time: "Where's your cell phone!"

Shen Gu's mobile phone was naturally turned off when he set off, and then they went back to the pier to search for a few hours, and he forgot to turn it on.

The wind in the middle of the night made Zhong Lecen's whole body cold.Ignoring Zhong Leyang's murderous gaze, Shen Gu took off his coat and wrapped it around him: "Didn't I send you a text message?"

Zhong Lecen shook his head, seeing that there was no one else around except Xiao Heizi, then he showed what was in his hand: "This is left by Zuo Jian."

The note left by Zuo Jian showed the time and place of the drug deal, and Xiao Heizi rushed to report it.Shen Gu is not yet part of the criminal police force, so he took a taxi and took the two brothers home.

"Look at this." Shen Gu took out the tissue paper cut into a human shape.

"Human form god?" Zhong Leyang snatched it, "Little Japanese things!"

"Tsuchimikado took away the real Tai'a sword."

Zhong Lecen pondered: "Why is he so obsessed with Tai'a Sword?"

Shen Gu shook his head: "The devil knows. Can you find him through this thing?"

Zhong Leyang became serious: "This is just an ordinary shikigami. If the other party has cut off contact, it will be more difficult. However, you can try the round light technique."

Zhong Lecen was still thinking about Zuo Jian: "Will Captain Zuo be in danger?" Zuo Jian went out and never came back, and finally the dog was left in the bar by Fei Fei.Xiaoxi really wanted to take her home, but Konghua refused.

Shen Gu patted him: "That's his task, he will handle it himself. And someone will take care of it."

Circle of Light, according to Zhong Leyang himself, is a relatively simple spell.However, when he blew up the third glass, Shen Gu finally couldn't help raising an eyebrow and looked at him: "Is this a relatively 'simple' spell?" There are only three glasses in his house.

Zhong Leyang became angry from embarrassment: "It's because of you standing by the side, with such an evil spirit that I can't calm down!"

"Ha!" Shen Gu let out a laugh that was obviously not a laugh.

Seeing that Zhong Leyang was about to run away, Zhong Lecen held back a smile and hurriedly stopped him: "Okay, okay, it's late, it's time to rest."

Shen Gu snorted: "Then let's all go to sleep. You go to wash first, and I will clean up the floor."

Zhong Lecen pushed his younger brother into the bathroom, turned around and came back to help Shen Gu clean up the broken glass: "Whether the circular light technique is difficult or not, you need to be careful, but not too hard. Le Yang did a good job in the past, but today he may be too concerned. Instead, it was unsuccessful.”

Shen Gu actually didn't care about success or not: "Why didn't you answer your phone today?"

Zhong Lecen said apologetically, "I forgot at home."

"Remember next time."

Zhong Leyang poked his head out from the bathroom, and said unconvinced: "Didn't you also turn off the phone? Why are you talking about my brother?"

Shen Gu squinted at him: "Why did you forget your brother's mobile phone?" Intuitively, he felt that this kid was making trouble.

My head retracted all of a sudden...

The round light technique failed, and the police did not catch Tsuchimikado for the time being.According to the investigation, Tsuchyumen used to come to Binhai often, and got along well in the local antique circle.However, according to insiders, he doesn't have much appreciation for antiques, but he is very generous, so many people are willing to deal with him.About this exhibition, he also contacted the exhibition through these people.But now he seems to have evaporated, and all the clues provided by those who knew him failed to find him, so the police had to strictly guard the exits of Binhai City.Fortunately, Tai'a ancient sword is a big guy, and it is not easy to slip away with this thing.

Shen Gu has been very busy recently.He hasn't decided whether he wants to go to the criminal police team, but the criminal police team probably has already greeted the area, so no one has arranged work for him these days, and he seems to be on vacation.

Lu Wei and Zhang Lin invited them to dinner in Shangri-La.Because Zhong Lecen introduced Konghua to Lu Wei, and asked Lu Wei to take Zhang Lin to his private clinic for examination, but sleepwalking was not found out, but Zhang Lin was found to be pregnant, so Lu Wei was elated, and even Zhong Lecen invited him superior.Zhong Lecen originally didn't want to leave Zhong Leyang alone, but Zhong Leyang met a group of young people riding BMX in the music square these days, and every day he went to play with them like crazy, so he didn't care about his brother.Therefore, Zhong Lecen was dragged here by Shen Gu.

Lu Wei is a person who is in good spirits on happy occasions, and looks full of energy.The people invited today were Shen Gu and Pang Fengyun. Lu Wei solemnly introduced to Zhang Lin one by one that they were his college classmates and best buddies, and Shen Gu was the landlord Yunyun who had been taking care of him before.

Zhang Lin didn't look very well, maybe it was a reaction in the early stages of pregnancy, her face was a little pale, and she looked a little anxious.However, he greeted everyone politely and thoughtfully one by one.

There was also an old woman at the table.As soon as Lu Wei came, he set up a chair for her first, and then told everyone that this was his aunt.Pang Fengyun and the others all knew that Lu Wei's parents died early, and his aunt sold more than half of the school fees for him.In the past few years, Lu Wei has not been in touch with other relatives, only this aunt, who tightens his belt every month and sends money back.

The old woman said she was only in her 40s, but she looked like she was in her [-]s, very old.Although he was wearing brand new clothes, he still looked stiff and didn't speak much, but kept smiling, apparently satisfied with Lu Wei's current situation.Lu Wei is also very affectionate to her, and has been busy serving her food and drinks.After getting a little drunk, he picked up the glass and greeted Zhang Lin: "Linlin, come here. My aunt is my mother. The year my parents died, I happened to be admitted to college. If I want to borrow tuition fees, no relatives will come , is my aunt, who sold the cow to pay my tuition! I don’t have a mother in this life, and my aunt is my mother! Come, let’s toast her.”

Zhang Lin stood up, but Shen Gu found that her hands were shaking slightly, so that the drink in the cup spilled a little.Lu Wei didn't notice anything unusual about his wife, so he staggered up to the old man and said loudly, "Auntie, my cousins ​​are not filial to you, but I am filial to you! Linlin also said that your old man will live in our house from now on, what? Don't worry! Come on, let's toast you!"

The old man smiled so that the corners of his eyes were moist, and he quickly picked up the cup, but it happened to be empty.Lu Wei looked around for a drink bottle shaking, Zhang Lin put down her glass and whispered, "Let me pour it for my aunt."

Lu Wei nodded again and again, and said to Pang Fengyun and others with a grin, "Linlin is very filial. She accompanied my aunt to buy clothes and so on." He was a little drunk, but his smile came from the heart Happiness.

After Zhang Lin heard his compliments, her hands shook even more, and she didn't even notice that the cup was full, and spilled a lot.Lu Wei was so drunk that he didn't see it, but Chi Lili hurried over: "Sister-in-law, are you feeling unwell?"

Zhang Lin was startled, quickly put down the drink bottle, and brought the cup tremblingly: "Aunt—"

No matter how Shen Gu looked at it, he felt something was wrong.Especially when Lu Wei's aunt drank the drink, the expression on her face was really indescribable, the hand holding the glass kept shaking, and she choked on the drink.In the end, even Lu Wei found out, and asked her with concern: "Are you tired?"

Zhang Lin forced a smile and nodded.Chi Lili immediately yelled: "Then go back and rest quickly, don't be careless in the first few months of pregnancy."

Lu Wei was a little disappointed, but an old man and a pregnant woman should go to bed earlier, so he settled the bill without saying anything.Seeing that he was also a little drunk, Pang Fengyun insisted on sending them back with Chi Lili's help.

Shen Gu and Zhong Lecen watched them get into the taxi and go away.The wind at night is slightly cool, which just dilutes the dryness caused by alcohol.The two said at the same time, "Go to the beach?"

The beach at summer night may be more lively than during the day, and the beach is full of couples.Shen Gu and Zhong Lecen found a place to sit on the edge of the reef, Zhong Lecen touched a small puddle by his feet, and suddenly asked: "What's the matter with you these days?"

Shen Gu was silent for a while, but still said: "The criminal police team wants to transfer me."

Zhong Lecen propped his chin: "That's good!"

"Do you feel good?"

Zhong Lecen looked very surprised: "Why not? You are so good at it, it would be a pity to just be a police officer!"

Shen Gu was stunned for a while, then laughed.That's right, did you hone your skills in the army just to become a police officer?Do you want to think about such a simple question?

Zhong Lecen continued to hold his face and looked at him: "What are you laughing at?"

Shen Gu looked at him.His eyesight is so good that he can see Zhong Lecen clearly even under the illumination of distant lights.Zhong Lecen has a pair of beautiful eyes, but they are covered by glasses.It wasn't until Zhong Lecen's eyes widened in surprise that Shen Gu realized that he had actually taken off his glasses.A pair of very dark eyes shone like sea water in the night, with a small figure reflected in the middle, which was Shen Gu himself.

Shen Gu glanced at the glasses in his hand and turned his gaze back to Zhong Lecen's face.Now that it's taken off, let's do something else.He put one arm around Zhong Lecen's waist, and then leaned forward until he touched those two lips that still smelled of drink.
