Blood Candle Keep Disciple

Chapter 59 The Shadow of Death

The photo above is a full-body photo of the bankrupt wealthy businessman standing in the study where the crime happened.When the photo was taken, this guy seemed to have just bought a chest-high porcelain vase that had been broken into pieces at the crime scene, and took a photo to commemorate it.

However, the intention of Inspector Shengbian to show this photo is obviously neither the deceased person nor the collection that was later turned into pieces, but a sculpture that was circled by a red pen and half-hidden behind the wealthy businessman on the Bogu shelf.

It was a strange collection of triangular-like objects of unknown material and meaning.The underside is an unusually smooth and angular geometry, but the triangle at the top has a pitted and uneven fracture like shattered ceramic.

It is not clear in the photo and part of it is hidden behind the rich businessman, but Zhen Cheng is very clear about the specific information of this thing.

Because this is the only thing other than cash that should have appeared at the crime scene but disappeared.That is, what Zhen Cheng himself inferred to be the real purpose of the murderer.

It is natural that Zhen Cheng knows how much Inspector Shengbian knows.Seeing Zhen Cheng's slightly frowning expression, he smiled smugly and revealed the second photo in his hand.

This photo should be taken in a jewelry store or exhibition hall, and the glass windows and lighting are very professional.Under the window, you can barely see a few lines of English instructions:
"The middle reaches of the Minnesota River, unearthed in 1964, 1 BC. The shape is suspected to be a fragment of a classical Sioux handicraft, and the material is suspected to be meteorite. There is no public conclusion yet."

This thing looks similar to the collection of the wealthy bankrupt businessman, and at first glance it looks like a black lump of iron.That ugly appearance is indeed very similar to the definition of "broken cultural relics" in the minds of ordinary people.

The bottom surface is connected to six smooth planes with not very sharp angles, the two ends form regular sharp angles of nearly 60 degrees, and the upward part has uneven fractures like the disappearing collection of the wealthy merchant.

Seeing this, Zhen Cheng already understood what Inspector Shengbian meant.I imagined in my mind that if two things could be put together, they would form two-thirds of a regular octahedron.

But if this is the case, it would be thought-provoking that things from 1 BC would appear in the four archipelagoes and North America at the same time.

"I did some relevant research, interviewed several acquaintances and even called the Metropolitan Museum in person to contact the most authoritative researcher on this item. The opinions of those who knew something about this collection were unexpected. Unite:

The material of this thing is defined as meteorite because it cannot be distinguished and synthesized so far.And the interesting part is that in the Mohs hardness test, it can actually leave scratches on the diamond.

Those scientists have tried to use lasers, high temperature, electrolysis and other means to smelt and destroy it, but all failed.In other words, with today's technology, it is absolutely impossible to shape this unknown material into a regular geometric shape, and it is impossible to imagine that the Tunguska or the ancient Indians could make this kind of 'artifact'.

In the same way, how did this kind of thing, which cannot even be cut by diamonds, and cannot be melted by the temperature of the earth's core, break apart more than 1 years ago?

Of course, this is not a problem that my little police officer has the ability to study and solve.All I can intervene is the relationship between this thing and homicides in my jurisdiction.So when I contacted the Met again this morning, guess what happened? "

"Stolen?" Zhen Cheng asked, thinking about the time when Ai Logans left the country and the intention of Inspector Shengbian.

Unexpectedly, Inspector Shengbian shook his head, and then showed a smiling face that always made people feel a little malicious: "No, it was rented out for academic research. It should be at the Thetis corporate headquarters at the moment. ."

"The shooting at the main entrance pub in which Ai Logans was involved..." Zhen Cheng muttered to himself.Immediately, she blinked her eyes suddenly and asked curiously:

"What I want to know now is why an Academy City police officer who is theoretically loyal to the Zhen family would spend so much time and energy to contact overseas experts and scholars for a collection far away in the Metropolis?"

Her voiceover is obvious, even if it is confirmed that the murderer of the bankrupt wealthy businessman is the Songhai Heart killer in the metropolis, then the work of arresting her should be the responsibility of the North American police.What's more, whether or not to take action against this person is essentially up to the Scary family.

Regardless of merit or interest, it has nothing to do with the little detective of the Holy Side Inspector.Not only is it impossible to get any benefits by forcibly participating in it, but it is also very likely to cause trouble that you cannot bear.

Hearing this, the uncomfortable smile on the fat face of Inspector Shengbian seemed to become a little more sinister, and he answered nonchalantly: "Miss Zhen, who has sufficient capital to become one-third of the world's powerful family, why would she spend time on it? What about a series of boring unsolved cases in a small local police station?"

The answer he implied was simple - interest.

The reason why Zhen Cheng was willing to chat with this guy for a while after looking at the time was mainly because she thought that this "reincarnation" did not trigger the fall of the ivory tower billboard, thus saving a lot of writing time.In this way, she even had a lot of time to rush to the next planned location.

After all, it is impossible for Inspector Shengbian to convince Zhen Cheng that the reason why she cares about Ai Logans is that she purchased the services of Songhai Heart.So after several times of arguing with guns and sticks, in the end, they had no choice but to watch Zhen Cheng leave the police station.

It's just that Zhen Cheng didn't go to the city center station to wait for some brain-dead young man to start like the previous "Reincarnation", but contacted Zhishi and took a taxi to the port.

At the same time, a man who covered half of his face with the shadow of a peaked cap placed a "cleaning" sign at the door of a men's toilet at the central station.

He bent down and swept his gaze across the gaps under the cubicles in turn, and finally knocked on the door of the only occupied cubicle.

Dong dong dong

"Go away, someone!" An angry voice came from the toilet cubicle.

Dong dong dong

"Who is it? You're sick! You wait and don't run!" There was an indiscriminate rant from inside, apparently a young man who was used to being domineering.

The peaked cap didn't talk to him either, just took a step back silently.Soon I saw someone under the gap of the compartment door looking down with their heads lowered, and then a scolding guy came out viciously with his pants up.

In the end, before the young man could do anything, the peaked cap suddenly kicked him back to the toilet, and then grabbed the young man by the collar and lifted him up. on a clean tiled floor.

"Who are you? What are you going to do?!" The young man exclaimed, but because he had difficulty breathing, he only let out an angry scolding.

"It's nothing," the peaked hat said with an expressionless face, "I want to ask you to kill someone. It's very simple, just push it off the crowded platform, and you won't know it. We only trust you to teach you about this. price?"
