"Here? Let's go!"

Without unnecessary nonsense, Liao Liangjun got out of the taxi and led Ai Yu straight to the scene of the crime.

This museum joint exhibition is divided into exhibition areas according to the age of cultural relics, and the Shang and Zhou exhibition halls where cultural relics were lost have been closed.As soon as Ai Yu walked in, she noticed the empty booth.

The glass cover and the cultural relics disappeared together, and only a small card introducing the information of the cultural relics was still standing in place.

The strange thing is that there are only four words [Zenghou Zun Pan] on this card, and there is no other information.Looking at the other cultural relics next to them, in addition to marking the name of the cultural relic, those data cards also have a short section of more detailed text introducing the source and use of the cultural relic.

Before Ai Yu could ask anything, Liao Liangjun had already chatted with the staff of the museum.Ai Yu listened for a while, and became more curious about the motive of the thief.

There are countless valuable things in this joint exhibition, and the value of the Zenghou Zun plate is not the highest.Even stealing a pocket watch that Qianlong played with is more cost-effective than removing a Warring States bronze.Not to mention that this Zeng Hou Zun plate is heavy and difficult to handle.

"Large bronzes are difficult to value, especially bronzes from the Shang and Zhou dynasties are more precious. Unless you have the ability to smuggle them overseas, it is difficult to find a buyer for this kind of thing in China. You also know that whoever buys it will have no time."

The curator who introduced the case did not hide it, pointed to the other bronze wares in the venue, and said frothyly: "The venerable plate we lost is not like these bronze lamps and bronze horses, and there is nothing like that in the world. Two sets. What does the only thing mean? Doesn’t it mean that you will die at the sight of the light! No matter who it is, even if you succeed in buying it, you can only hide it at home. Tell me, why did the grandson steal it?”

Ai Yu flipped through the picture of Zeng Houzun plate in the exhibition book, and saw that the size is indeed not small.Simply put, this cultural relic is a large plate with a large cup placed on it, which seems to be a set of utensils.

"Curator, what was this statue used for in ancient times?"

"Oh, you're asking me too much. Let alone me, even if all the cultural relics experts in the country gather together, no one knows what this thing is for."

Ai Yu thought he was joking, but only after listening to the follow-up explanation did he realize that the other party really wasn't talking nonsense.

Zun is a wine vessel in ancient times, which belongs to daily life utensils.

The plate is a ritual vessel, which is generally used in conjunction with the 匜. The 匜 scoops up water and the plate catches the water.

A set of wine vessels and ritual vessels?
This is impossible in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties with strict levels of etiquette!

But the Zenghou Zunpan was indeed a funeral object of a wealthy monarch in the Shang and Zhou dynasties.It would be unreasonable to say that this statue and plate were accidentally put together by later generations when Marquis Zeng was buried.

The bronze Zun in the exhibition catalog is carved with exquisite and transparent patterns of pan-beetles on the mouth, four round leopard-shaped beasts are attached to the neck, and the abdomen and ring feet are also open-carved with pan-chi patterns and embossed dragons.

The bronze plate is a tray with a flat bottom and straight walls. Its shape echoes that of the Zun, and the edge of the mouth is also folded and drooped outwards, with hollow decorations attached.There are four square ears on the body of the pan, and four round-carved twin dragons hang from both sides of the ears. The mouth of the dragon bites the edge of the pan, and the body is intertwined like vines.

As long as you are not blind, anyone can see that the two things are made of the same casting process, and the decorations are also in the same line.

"Director Liao, you really need to help this time! For a few minutes yesterday evening, all the monitors in the exhibition hall suddenly went black. But after checking, all these machines are in good condition, not broken at all. This is so strange. ..."

Ai Yu listened to the curator babbling and pouring bitter water, but her eyes were not idle, and finally found something suspicious in the corner of the exhibition hall.

It was a leaf of a cypress tree, not an ordinary cypress tree, at least eight hundred years old.

A few years ago, a Gongdou drama became popular, and even a "Lingcypress" plant in the drama became popular.The screenwriter didn't make a fool of himself. In the imperial garden of the Forbidden City, there was indeed an ancient cypress of considerable origin, which was granted the title of Marquis of Shade by Qianlong.

This piece of cypress leaf, no accident, came from the shade Hou.

This exhibition hall is borrowed from the Wenhua Hall, and the green plants outside the hall are only white pine.

Even if it's an eight-level gale, it's impossible to blow the leaves from the imperial garden into the Wenhua Palace, right?

Unless someone brought it in, it had to be brought in before the exhibition hall was closed.

[Xiao Cui, can you tell when this leaf was picked off? 】

[Look at the vitality, no more than one day. 】

It is less than eight o'clock in the morning, which means that this leaf was picked after eight o'clock yesterday morning.It's a pity that the smell on the leaf is too light, otherwise Ai Yu could have picked out the person who "destroyed the tree" with just this leaf.

After Liao Liangjun assigned the task, he saw Ai Yu carefully put a leaf into the evidence bag, and quickly asked, "What did you find?"

"Director, I want to check the surveillance footage of the Royal Garden yesterday, so that I can see the angle of the shade tree."

"What do you mean? The Royal Garden is not close to here..."

Before he finished speaking, another three or four people walked into the exhibition hall.The leader was a bald man with a protruding front and back. The uniform shirt on his body was stretched by his belly without any wrinkle, as if it would be ripped at any moment.

"Hehe, Director Liao is here already? This comrade is..."

"Ai Yu, the captain of the First Brigade of the Dongcheng Criminal Division."

Ai Yu raised her hands in salute expressionlessly, and didn't bother to say a word of greeting.Ji Liguo, the head of the city bureau, she had heard of this man before, but this was the first time she had seen him.

Compared with his own director who is thin and tough, this Director Ji is not at all a breeze.

There are many rumors about him, and most of them are romance rumors.

It is said that Director Ji has five or six wives, big and small, and he has harvested a dozen daughters after working half his life, but he has no son.

Modern medicine has long explained this, and the high probability is that the Y chromosome is not active enough.But this old man does not believe in evil, he is still keen on seeking flowers and asking willows after a lot of age, and vows to give birth to a son to die for himself.

Mentioning this person, both men and women in the circle expressed contempt unanimously.The former felt ashamed of him, while the latter simply felt disgusted.

"Comrade Xiao Ai is very young, young people are aggressive, very good. The case this time is different from the past. Let Director Liao give you credit when it is done."

After Ji Liguo finished speaking, he habitually reached out and patted Ai Yu's shoulder, but was interrupted by another salute from the little girl.

"Yes."

Ai Yu took a step back after saluting, and went to the museum to check the monitoring.

Looking at Ai Yu's back, Ji Li Guoyu asked regretfully, "Is she from Mr. Shen?"

"That's right..."

Liao Liangjun responded vaguely, although it was rumored outside that Ai Yu was a young man whom Mr. Shen was optimistic about, but Ai Yu herself never thought so.

But having this big banner is not a bad thing, at least Ji Liguo and his ilk won't sway their minds against Ai Yu at will.If it were any other pretty girl with no background, these bastards wouldn't care much.

"I heard that Ai Yu's rate of solving crimes is very good. You have found a treasure in Dongcheng."

Liao Liangjun didn't answer the question, he only cared about the case at hand, "Bureau of Discipline Inspection, do you have any instructions from the city?"

"Solve the case within a week."

The meaning of solving a case is not only to find out the ins and outs, but also to catch the criminal and recover the stolen goods.Liao Liangjun poked his neck in dissatisfaction, stared and retorted: "What is enough for a week?"

"Look at you, you're still such an idiot." Ji Liguo lowered his voice and continued, "The Secret Service is also investigating this case, so just do your part."

Liao Liangjun rubbed his hands, he couldn't believe it: "Could it be that the crime was committed overseas?"

"It's not clear yet." Ji Liguo glanced at the empty booth, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, "Those people will intervene in this case, either the thief who stole something is not an ordinary person, or the thing lost is not an ordinary thing, as long as you know it .”

"Yes."

After sending away the leading group of the Municipal Bureau, Liao Liangjun immediately asked the museum for a room and organized a meeting for his subordinates.

Based on his experience in dealing with the Secret Service, it is impossible to cooperate in handling cases.A word of confidentiality blocked all excuses for asking for help, and he had to rely on himself to solve the case.

In the security room on the other side, Ai Yu had already gone through the surveillance data near Shayinhou, and sure enough, he saw a person stealing leaves.

It was around four o'clock in the afternoon, which was the time when tourists were in a hurry to "leave the palace".In the crowd, a small man wearing a black fisherman's hat and a black mask took advantage of the chaos and picked up a handful of leaves.

There were at least a dozen leaves in that handful, which made Ai Yu's heart twitch.Perhaps because of the old pagoda tree, she naturally respects all the old trees.

Regardless of whether this cypress tree is alive or not, it is also an ancient tree that is thousands of years old. Is it easy for people to live so old?

The movement of the fisherman's hat is very subtle, and lasts no more than two or three seconds.But Ai Yu still noticed that although this person stretched out his hand, despite his height, he couldn't even touch the lowest branch.Those leaves seemed to fly to his palm, and then stuffed into his pocket.

Spiritual consciousness drives things, this person is a monk!
The moment she saw the leaves in the exhibition hall, Ai Yu realized that the thief was not an ordinary person.

Covering surveillance cameras with leaves, this kind of thing Ai Yu did once before becoming a policeman.At that time, she was also investigating a case of cultural relics, and she used this method to quietly take away a bunch of explosives.

What about picking flowers and flying leaves, taking the enemy's head thousands of miles away...

For monks, these are just a matter of thought.

But why did the monk steal a bronze vessel?
With the new discovery, Ai Yu hurried back to the meeting room designated by Director Liao: Shu Fang Zhai.

As soon as she looked up and saw the plaque under the eaves, Ai Yu was in a state of confusion, feeling that a grid would run out of the room in the next second.In fact, today's Shufangzhai has become a special reception room for the museum, specially used to receive state-level dignitaries.

If it weren't for the fact that certain hardware facilities in this room were unique, their temporary task force would not be qualified to hold a meeting in Shufangzhai.

"Director Ji is gone?" Ai Yu looked around as soon as he entered the door. Besides Director Liao, Xu Zhen and Pan Wenxiang also rushed over.

Ai Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't find the fat man.

Pan Wenxiang was reviewing the monitoring in the exhibition hall, and said without raising his head, "Are you afraid of him? Why didn't I see it."

"Hey, I'm not afraid of him, but I'm afraid of trouble." Ai Yu explained, and inserted the USB flash drive into Sister Pan's computer, "Sister, I'll show you something good."

"No virus..."

After a few minutes, everyone in the room was petrified.

They have long been accustomed to Ai Yu's efficiency in finding clues from the surveillance, but this time the clues are still too unimaginable.Everyone was stunned for a while before catching up with Ai Yu's train of thought.

Xu Zhen asked uncertainly: "You mean, this fisherman's hat picked the leaves by means of space, and then controlled the leaves to block the surveillance, and stole the cultural relics in those few minutes?"

"It's no wonder the Secret Service is also involved in this case. I'm afraid this fisherman's hat is really a foreign force." Liao Liangjun slapped the table and suddenly realized: "Looking at this body shape and height, it is likely to come from the island..."

Ai Yu was still struggling with how to explain the existence of monks to the big guys, but she didn't expect them to think of those supernatural beings from the special service team.

Having said that, the surreal method of "fetching objects from a distance" can indeed be done by some people with extremely strong spiritual power.And on that leaf, she did not find any spiritual fluctuations left.

"Xiaoyu, what about that leaf? This kind of person thinks that he is clever, and maybe he doesn't care about details like fingerprints at all, otherwise he wouldn't leave a leaf on the scene." Xu Zhen opened a box full of laboratory equipment, He waved at Ai Yu and said, "Maybe you can find something on the leaves of the cypress tree."

Ai Yu hurriedly handed over the evidence bag, and after a while they got the fingerprints.There are still three complete fingerprints on the right thumb, index finger, and middle finger.

Pan Wenxiang immediately entered the database for comparison, but found no such person.In other words, the fisherman's hat is an innocent person with no criminal record in China.

"It's the first time to die and become a big ticket, what a talent..."

Pan Wenxiang quit the system resentfully, and continued to check the peripheral monitoring of the museum, "The set of cultural relics is not small, and it is impossible to escape the monitoring of the street if it is taken out."

Ai Yu was silent, I hope this person is really not a monk.Otherwise, with a storage bag on your body, what things can't be taken away?

Even if there is no storage bag, monks still have ways to avoid various surveillance from the outside world.Only the shots in the indoor exhibition hall that have no dead ends require some means.

The next division of labor is relatively simple. Pan Wenxiang continued to stay in the eyes of the sky, while Xu Zhen and Ai Yu went to check the museum's ticketing system.Unless the fisherman's hat came in through fare evasion, he would be able to find out the person's purchase information from a small ticket, and then find out his identity.

To put it bluntly, there is no one in this world who the Huaxia police can't catch, unless they don't want to.

Liao Liangjun was not idle either, he took the leaf stealing video intercepted by Ai Yu and three fingerprints, and went directly to the special service team.This clue is definitely valuable to the other party, and may directly confirm the identity of the fisherman's hat.

If they still prevaricate with secrecy, the next best thing is to trade the information for an answer.

What exactly is the Zenghou Zunpan?
Why does a bronze cultural relic attract the coveting of foreign forces?
