"Old man Zhao, let's do it! We can wait. Wait a while, Zhang Fu will come, you will call Zhang Fu directly. ”

Zhao Dongbo looked at me and said, "If you are in a hurry, I will call Zhang Fu now." Let him come back right away. ”

I looked at the old man in front of me, who was over half a hundred years old, and I knew that they worked hard. I hurriedly said, "You are all working hard, and you finally have half a day's rest. Still don't bother. It's okay, wait a while. No hurry......"

Kong Xue watched from the side, not understanding what I meant. But there is no refutation of my words.

At this time, Sun Tielong also came to the water room.

I said to Zhao Dongbo: "Old man Zhao, you should be busy first!" Let's find a place to rest. When Zhang Fu comes, you bring Zhang Fu to us. ”

Zhao Dongbo looked at me and said, "Okay." From here to the left there is a lounge ......"

"Okay, old man Zhao, I know."

After Zhao Dongbo left, I looked around and saw that there was no one. Said to Sun Tielong: "How is it?" ”

Sun Tielong said to me, "I just looked at the ground carefully. There is indeed a problem......"

Kong Xue asked, "What did you find out when you went forward?" ”

"Nothing has been found yet."

Kong Xue looked at Sun Tielong, then at me, and hurriedly said, "Sun Tielong said there was a problem just now?" I don't understand. You talk about it carefully. ”

I looked at Sun Tielong and said, "Tielong, tell me about it!" ”

Sun Tielong said in a low voice: "I also touched the ground with my hand just now. Although the floor has been cleaned very clean. Since the floor here is paved with stone bricks, there will be some cracks. ”

Kong Xue said: "That's right. In ancient times, the ground was basically like this. What does this mean? ”

I looked at Kong Xue and said, "I just wiped the stone bricks with my hands." No matter how much you rub it, you won't let your fingers break. ”

Kong Xue said: "I understand. You mean, there is a sharp ...... on this stone brick."

"Shh......h I'm going to think about it......"

The three of us did what Mr. Zhao said, and went forward. I also saw a lounge.

This lounge is exclusively for tourists. There are benches, there are water dispensers. Although the facilities are not so well equipped. But it's still good to rest.

I lit a cigarette and smoked. I was thinking about how I would steal the artifacts if I were a thief and how I would leave. Why don't you let the security inside the Forbidden City find out......

The Forbidden City in Beijing, formerly known as the Forbidden City, was the imperial palace of 24 emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties of China. It is the essence of Han palace architecture, an incomparable masterpiece of ancient architecture, and the world's largest and most well-preserved wooden structure of ancient buildings. There are 9,999 rooms in total. It can be said that it is a very large palace. Even if the security work is amazing. With such a huge palace, it is easy for a person to hide it......

It's almost twelve o'clock. Zhao Dongbo slowly walked towards the lounge. And Zhao Dongbo was followed by a young man in his early twenties. You don't need to ask to know that this person must be Zhao Dongbo's apprentice Zhang Fu.

Zhao Dongbo said to me, "This is my apprentice Zhang Fu. As he spoke, he pointed at Zhang Fu with his finger.

Zhao Dongbo turned to Zhang Fu and said, "Xiao Zhang, these are police colleagues. In a moment, the officer asks you something. You just answer honestly......"

Zhang Fu looked at Sun Tielong, then at Kong Xue, and finally at me. Very nervously said, "I know......"

I looked at Zhang Fu and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, we are just investigating some problems." It's good that you answer truthfully. ”

Zhang Fu nodded and said, "I know." What do you ask and what do I answer......"

I nodded and asked Zhang Fu, "Have you checked every exhibition hall on the night of the eleventh?" ”

Zhang Fu said: "Every day, the museum closes at 4 p.m. After that, we cleaned up, about five or six o'clock. We basically started at half past seven and every room in each exhibition hall and room, and we checked ...... casually."

"What time is the exhibition hall where you inspected the lost paintings on the 11th?"

Zhang Fu said slowly: "I want to think about it." It's about 8:10 a.m.! ”

"Then you didn't notice anything out of the ordinary."

Zhang Fu said: "No...... Everything is normal. Those five paintings are also in the glass window......"

"Oh. That's right...... So how did you find out that those five paintings were missing? ”

Zhang Fu looked at me nervously and said, "The next day, after we got up, we cleaned the courtyard first. And then basically every exhibition hall has to be observed. See if any of the glass windows have fallen dust. Then wipe clean with a rag. Then it's just waiting for visitors to come in and watch. Actually, we're open five days a week here. And it's all closed between 9 and 4 a.m. Time is actually very short. ”

"Xiao Zhang. Don't be nervous. I'm asking you when you noticed that those five paintings were missing. ”

Zhang Fu looked at me and replied, "When we checked in the morning, we found that the cultural relics were missing......

Xiao Zhang said nervously: "It's about eight o'clock!" ”

"Oh......"

I lengthened my pitch and didn't speak for a long time.

I suddenly asked, "When did you find the three artifacts that were lost for the second time?" ”

Zhang Fu said slowly: "This is when we checked when the museum was closed at night, and found that two boxes were opened. The most important thing is that the Qing Dynasty Dayu water control map in the corner of the wall Yushan has disappeared. I hurriedly went to the master first. Then I went to the police ......."

"Oh......"

I looked at Zhao Dongbo and Zhang Fu in front of me. Especially Zhang Fu, he can see that he is a farmer's child by looking at his appearance. Working hard here, I see how scared the two of them. Indeed, they are ordinary people, how can they know the methods of those who specialize in stealing people. Even if you meet it, you might just kill it......

I slowly got up and said, "I've finished investigating everything I want to investigate." Thank you. Go get busy! We're leaving. If you still have any doubts, maybe we'll come back. ”

Zhao Dongbo and Zhang Fu followed us all the time and personally saw us off.

When we walked out, I looked at Kong Xue and said, "Sister Xue, what is the name of the director of the Palace Museum in Beijing?" ”

Kong Xue said: "The director of the Palace Museum in Beijing is called Zhou Botao, who resigned on March 20. ”

"Oh......"

Kong Xue said: "Forward, are you suspicious of that dean Zhou Botao?" ”

"No, Sister Xue, I just feel that the Palace Museum in Beijing has been stolen twice in a row, and the director has not appeared, and we have not seen a few security personnel......"

Kong Xue said: "Usually there is no security during the day. There are just a few security guards who are maintaining order on a day-to-day basis. Only at night will there be some security guards patrolling the Forbidden City or something. ”

"That's ......"

Sun Tielong said to me: "Go forward, are you going to find Charlie Ba and them......"

"That's right...... Look what they're like......"

I took out my phone and dialed Charlieba's mobile phone number directly.

"Hey. Where are you......"

Charlie said, "We're outside......"

"Huh? Where ......"

Charlie said domineeringly: "Big brother is now at noon." Brother Yu and I are eating. ”

"Rub the ...... Where are you eating......

Charlie Ba said: "An old Beijing restaurant. You come out of *, then go east, walk a few hundred meters and you see. ”

"Rubbed. Come on. Let's order food first. We were able to eat straight away when we arrived......"

Kong Xue asked me, "Forward, where are they in the Forbidden City now?" Let's go to them. ”

"No need, they've all left the Forbidden City."

Kong Xue said: "Leaving the Forbidden City? ”

Sun Tielong said: "Sister Xue. If I'm right. Charlieba, this bastard, must be eating. ”

I smiled at Sun Tielong and said, "That's right......"

Kong Xue looked at us suspiciously......

I said to Kong Xue, "Sister Xue." Don't worry. It's already lunchtime. Let's eat first! ”

We walked down the line where Charlie Ba had said. Good thing we had a car. It didn't take long to arrive.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Charlie Ba and Wu Yu sitting in a restaurant eating.

Charlie Ba saw us coming. Hurriedly waved at us and shouted, "...... here"

I looked at Charlie Ba and Wu Yu and waved my hand as well.

After a few of us sat down, Kong Xue looked at Wu Yu and said, "When is Wu Yu now, what have you investigated......?"

Charlie and I smiled at each other. It seems that Kong Xue feels that we haven't investigated anything this morning......

Wu Yu smiled awkwardly and did not speak.

I looked at Charlie Ba and said, "You and Brother Yu are also wandering around the Forbidden City, what did you find......"

Charlie Ba said: "I have been to the Forbidden City no less than n times. And ...... to get around."

"What did you find, big brother......

Charlie said, "Hey! Didn't find anything......"

Wu Yu said to me: "Charlie Ba walked around the Forbidden City, and then we walked around the moat......

"Oh...... The feeling is to take care of whether there are fish in the moat......"

Charlie Ba smiled: "Isn't it hungry just looking at it?" ”

Kong Xue said to me: "Forward, what should we do now......

"Sister Xue, don't worry. Let's finish our meal first! And now is not the time to analyze the case......"

Kong Xue looked at the environment around her, and it was indeed full of people coming and going, and there were many people.

Charlie Ba said: "Old Beijing cuisine, to be honest, is also delicious." I didn't expect it to be so delicious......"

I said to Charlieba, "If it's delicious, you can eat more!" It's going to be busy for a while. ”

Charlie Ba said: "When I came to Beijing, I knew that I would definitely not be able to be idle, and I still need to say ......."

Sun Tielong said: "Eat quickly, it is estimated that there will be arrangements for moving forward in a while......

Charlie said, "I know ......"

Our group of five ate very quickly. After you have eaten your fill, pay the bill and leave. I hurriedly ran into the car.

Wu Yu drove to a place where there were few people, and Wu Yu asked me, "Forward, how should we investigate in the afternoon." ”

I looked at Wu Yu and Kong Xue and said, "Brother Yu, you and Sister Xue will go to the headquarters right now and help me investigate the information and files of Zhao Dongbo and Zhang Fu." I hope it's a very comprehensive kind ......."

Kong Xue said: "Forward, are you suspicious of those two administrators?" ”

"I can't say I doubt it! It's just that it needs to be exactly ......"

Kong Xue said slowly: "Okay." No problem. ”

"I also need a pair of frogmen."

Kong Xue didn't understand what she meant, and hurriedly said to me, "Frogman......"

"Yes......"

Kong Xue said: "There are no big rivers and big rivers in Beijing. What do you want frogmen to do......"

At this time, Wu Yu said to Kong Xue: "Kong Xue, go forward and do whatever you want." Naturally, there is a reason for moving forward......"

Kong Xue looked at Wu Yu, then at me, and replied embarrassedly: "Okay...... I'll arrange ......."

Then I said to Charlieba, "The frogman will come in a moment." You take the frogman and look for it...... If I'm right. The odds are half and half ......"

Charlie Ba said: "It seems that the two of us went together to ......"

Sun Tielong and I stayed near the Forbidden City and waited for everything to be ready. Just call me.

Kong Xue looked at me and said, "Go ahead, how can I give you the information of Zhao Dongbo and Zhang Fu......"

At this time, Sun Tielong said: "We brought a notebook, just send an email." ”

Wu Yu said: "I know the email address......"

Kong Xue looked at us and said, "What are you going to do?" Confused......"

Wu Yu smiled at Kong Xue and said, "Kong Xue, I don't know what I'm going to do to move forward, but I know that listening to the advance is right......

Kong Xue said: "It's not that I don't believe in moving forward, it's just that I'm confused now......"

I said to Kong Xue, "Sister Xue, don't be confused. Maybe you'll find out in the afternoon or evening......"

Kong Xue said to me, "Forward, how can I not believe in your ability." ”

Wu Yu said to Kong Xue: "If you believe it, then let's go back quickly......"

After the three of us got out of the car, Charlie Ba said to me, "I'm walking around." ”

"Pay attention to your phone ......"

Charlie said domineeringly: "Wipe it." I know......"

Sun Tielong and I found a coffee house nearby and made it.

Sun Tielong said to me: "Actually, this case is very simple. I didn't expect the police to find any clues for two weeks......"

"No...... It's not that simple......"

Sun Tielong said to me, "What do you mean? ”

"All the puzzles are on the wall, those words ......"

Sun Tielong said: "But you didn't mention the words on the wall just now. ”

"yes. I really didn't ask. But it's not that I don't care......"

Sun Tielong said: "I don't understand you......"

"There's nothing I understand, I don't understand. Actually, it's all the same......"

Sun Tielong said: "Do you feel that something is wrong?" ”

I said to Sun Tielong, "Don't you also feel that something is wrong?" It's just that I need to make bold assumptions and carefully verify ......"

Sun Tielong said to me: "Now you and I are just waiting for ......"

"That's right, the first-class information of Brother Yu and Sister Xue. I'm just sure of something. The second-class frogman came at once to determine something. If everything is different from what I thought. Then we really wasted this morning. If you think the same. Then the case can be regarded as finding a thread. ”

Sun Tielong said: "How do you feel that what you say is as ...... as gambling?"

I said to Sun Tielong: "Isn't life gambling? It's just a matter of whether the result is a win or a defeat......"

Sun Tielong shook his head and said, "You are really a master of art and bold......

"No one dares to do it. The police can't investigate it, so we don't need to have some special ideas, how can we investigate the clues. Come and take a break and have a coffee......"

Sun Tielong smiled at me, slowly picked up the coffee and took a sip.

Right behind me, someone called me......

"Forward...... Is that you? ”

As soon as I heard the voice, it felt familiar. I turned my head to look. I didn't expect the person who called me to smile at me, "Go ahead...... It's really you...... I feel like I'm not wrong......"

"It's you...... That's right...... You're from Beijing......"
