Chapter 769(1/2)
Playing tricks
Originally, Mr. Qian meant to stop there. After all, for them at this level, it was a competition of mutual compromise. But he didn't expect that there were other episodes on the merchant ship. Now the public opinion outside has been fermented and is out of control. The case
The size is simply appalling.
So he decided early on that he would just try to hide away and let other people who were eager for merit deal with it.
At 7:30 in the morning, Li Mo and Sima Haotian's cars slowly stopped on the shore of Jinmen Port. The merchant ship not far away was still blocked, and a lot of people had gathered at this moment.
"Professor Li is here."
Zheng Bin said hello, and others came over to greet him.
The people who came here are all acquaintances, they belong to the young and middle-aged generation, and they have worked with Li Mo many times.
"Professor Li, let's come here to help you first. Professor Zhu and the others have more important arrangements, so they didn't come with them this time."
Li Mo knew what Professor Zhu and the others were going to do. The tomb robbers were all killed last night. From their mouths, they would learn the addresses of many stolen tombs, which required rescue excavation.
If no unexpected special circumstances had occurred last night, he would have transported those antiques directly back to Kyoto and participated in the trial of those tomb robbers today.
Now that things are getting louder and louder, it’s better to let everyone in the world know about it in the name of ‘righteousness’.
"Come aboard."
Along the way, the police officers on duty saluted one after another, and Li Mo also returned the salute. After all, in addition to his identity as a professor at Beijing University, he also had the identity of the Central Security Bureau.
"We are divided into three teams. I, Professor Sima, and Associate Professor Zheng lead a team respectively, so that the work efficiency is higher. If you feel that the weight of the box is obviously heavy when you are carrying it, you must tell it first to avoid accidentally falling from the steel frame.
In case of accidents, please be careful."
"Understood, Professor Li."
Because of teamwork, the inventory and sorting of antiques is much faster.
One by one, bronze vessels emerge from the darkness into light.
I was busy until 12 noon, and the boxes on the last section of the steel frame were not counted.
"Boss, the food is ready. Let's eat first. There isn't much left anyway, so don't rush it for a while." Brown Bear ordered a lot of food, all of which were five-star level. It would be a pity to let them go cold.
"OK."
Sima Haotian walked up to him and said: "Currently, a total of one hundred and fifty-four bronzes have been counted, all of which have inscriptions. The earliest can be traced back to the late Shang Dynasty, and the latest can be traced back to the middle and late Warring States Period. Those thieves are really disgusting.
I don’t know how many Shang and Zhou tombs were stolen.”
"I guess these are not all. There should be more bronzes hidden in some mysterious place, waiting to be secretly transported out later." Li Mo thought of more, so he was so worried.
"Listening to what you said, the situation is more serious than we imagined."
"Go and eat. Only with a full stomach can you have the strength to fight against the evil forces."
Li Mo and the others were eating in the cabin canteen. Before they had a few bites, they received a call from Qin Yali. He hurriedly walked out to answer the call and heard the caller say: "Xiao Mo, when will your end be over?"
"And the last bit, you can stay here without me."
"Then you return to Kyoto immediately. There is a deadlock in the trial of the case here. The boss of the tomb robbers will not answer our questions until he meets you first."
"Meet me?" Although Li Mo didn't understand why the tomb robber boss who had never met him insisted on meeting him first, but anyway, things here are basically over, and it would be of little use for him to stay. Sima Haotian is enough to take charge, "I'll take it.
I'll rush back after dinner."
"good."
"Professor Li, do you want to return to Kyoto?"
Zheng Bin served him a bowl of beef soup.
"The leader of that group of tomb robbers insists on meeting me first. You and Professor Sima will be in charge this afternoon. Chen Xiaojun will cooperate with you."
"Okay, this is all a trivial matter. Then eat more. Those thieves are probably still harboring more evil in their hearts."
Li Mo and Brown Bear quickly ate their stomachs and drove back to Kyoto. At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the car turned into the city-bureau compound.
Qin Yali, Zhu Changping and others were ventilating outside boredly. From the morning to the scene, they had tried many times to open their mouths, but they had not gotten any useful information. It can be seen that they are all old men. At this time, only
I will carry it to the end without knowing anything about it.
"Xiao Mo, things are not going well here. How is things going at the Jinmen Port?" Zhu Changping put out his cigarette butt and asked with a smile.
"It's going very well over there. We can transfer all the stolen bronzes to Kyoto today. Teacher, tell me briefly about the situation of the tomb robber boss."
"He is an old thief who has already risked his life. Since he wants to see you first, you should go directly to meet him."
Li Mo looked at Qin Yali, who also nodded.
"Then I'll go there."
In a separate interrogation room, there was a thin man with gray hair sitting quietly with his eyes closed and not knowing what he was thinking. Judging from his figure, he looked a bit frail.
When Li Mo walked into the interrogation room, the man suddenly opened his eyes, and there was an extremely sharp light in his eyes, like a sword piercing the bone.
This one is a butcher with blood-stained hands.
"Are you the famous Li Mo?"
Li Mo sat opposite him, smiling slightly and looking at him calmly. He looked about fifty years old, but looking at his hair and body shape, he looked more than ten years older.
"Since you strongly requested to see me first, I can't understand what you just said. Should I answer 'yes', or make a joke and say 'no'."
The man looked at Li Mo for more than ten seconds, then suddenly grinned and said with a sinister smile: "Young people really like to talk."
"When it comes to skills, I'm really not that good at talking. Zhou Jiadong, I'm here. What do you want to ask me?"
"I want to make a deal with you."
"Trade?" Li Mo suddenly laughed and said after a while, "If you want to make a trade, you only need to explain the problem honestly. Why do you have to trade with me, a person who is not in the system?"
Zhou Jiadong seemed very calm, and his eyes became sharper. He waited until Li Mo's laughter stopped and then said calmly: "I don't trust any of them. As long as you agree, I believe you will fulfill your promise."
The faces of a group of big-blocked people watching in the next office showed indignation, and they were all slapped hard in the face.
In the interrogation room, Li Mo became serious and said after hesitation: "Can you tell me the contents of your transaction first?"
"I also hid a batch of cultural relics stolen from the tomb in a hidden place. I set up many destructive devices in that hidden place. You, Li Mo, are known as the immortal eyes. As long as you can find that place and leave smoothly
Go in and safely take out the batch of cultural relics, and I will tell you the addresses of all the tombs that have not yet been stolen, and I will also tell you a shocking secret."
Li Mo's eyes moved slightly, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "You couldn't have planted the explosive device in the container full of bronzes at Jinmen Port yourself, right?"
Unexpectedly, Zhou Jiadong curled his lips contemptuously: "That has nothing to do with me. That's because they can't afford it, so they arranged to destroy the corpses in case of an accident. For people in our industry, although they have already risked their lives, they can do everything.
Leave a line for yourself.”
Li Mo gave him a thumbs up.
"But it sounds like you didn't get any advantage in this deal of yours."
Zhou Jiadong's eyes did not restrain the naked murderous intent at all: "You are very confident in yourself, but sometimes confidence is not enough. If you agree to the deal I proposed, there is a half chance that you will die in it, which can be regarded as a disguised form of doing something for us.
Find a backup in advance and avenge yourself. If you can still show up here alive, you will not only find a large number of precious cultural relics, but also have more opportunities to dig out more cultural relics from those large tombs.
"
"If you don't tell me, how can your other accomplices survive?"
"Of course they can't stand it, but they are all my new team members in the past two years, and their knowledge is limited. Those old team members have been handed over one after another, so no matter how hard you try, you won't get much useful information from them.
.”
This Zhou Jiadong is very smart. He bluntly stated his purpose in person, which was to fight for half the chance of failure.
"I seem to have to accept your deal, but you should give me a search range. Otherwise, I won't be able to find it all in my lifetime, so the deal we are talking about now doesn't make much sense, right?"
"I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, but I am just here. Li Mo, please remember this sentence, and then I will give you a week. By then, either you will be dead or I will be dead."
"Do you have anything else to say? If not, I'll leave first." Li Mo stood up and prepared to leave.
"You agreed?"
"Why should I agree? What does it have to do with me whether you like to talk or not? After you die, those big tombs that you have stolen will sleep forever, and the cultural relics that you secretly hidden should have been
Those buried deep in the earth, if you hadn't been so diligent, they might not have been born until the planet exploded, and then they would have gradually disappeared into the long river of time."
"Look at me now, I have a respected professor status, endless money, a beautiful and virtuous wife, a cute, lively and healthy daughter, and many, many things that you don't have. I am already content, and I want to
Eat and wait to die. I heard that you insisted on seeing me, and I thought you admired me too much, so you wanted to see my true face first. Okay, you can figure it out for yourself, I don’t have time to talk to you."
"I also know a piece of gossip about Jiuding, which was passed down from generation to generation from my ancestor."
Li Mo didn't even look at him, he opened the door and walked out to the office next door.
"Xiao Mo, it's a good thing you didn't agree. He just wanted you to die." Qin Yali couldn't help but stop them from continuing to talk. Li Mo had just escaped death once, how could he let him continue as soon as he turned around?
Go risk your life."
"Li Mo, what are you thinking?" Professor Zhu Changping still knows a little about his cheap apprentice. Once he catches a clue about something, he will pursue it.
"I know very well that Zhou Jiadong is playing tricks on me. He treats trading as a game, just to see who is unlucky. But since it is a game, we should go directly to the topic, why waste time guessing riddles."
"Actually, what I'm most concerned about at the moment is his last words."
"You mean Jiuding?"
