Mu Tian smiled, threw the necklace into the air, and caught it again, "Okay, we have plenty of time, so we have to ask you to be aggrieved." He stood up and walked out of the office.
Cookwood and Colin came in, tied up Tan Liansheng again, carried him to the fourth floor, opened a dark empty room, pushed him to the floor, locked the door and left.
Tan Liansheng kicked his legs and crawled on the ground for a while without touching anything. He was shocked. How was he going to get through this long night? The damn cement floor was cold, and his clothes were thin. He was afraid he might catch typhoid fever.
.
He reluctantly crawled to the corner, sat up straight, and leaned against the wall, panting.
After his breathing subsided, he began to try to twist his hands that were tied behind his back, trying to loosen the rope.
No solution.
He gave up his efforts and thought about who these people are? Why are they interested in blood necklaces? They don't seem to be from the patrol room, a Chinese and a few Europeans and Americans. Why are they so interested in Japanese things?
Is he a private detective hired by the owner?
It seems that he will not be able to escape jail for a while, but they don't seem to have any plans to do anything to him. At least they will not have the legendary "serious punishment". So what do they want?
Of course all the stolen goods.
Come on, I just took this one thing while my brothers weren't paying attention. The others are all at Yan Sibao's place. How can I use them?
Will Amei Tong go to the police station to report the crime? Although she entered the French Concession under a false name, there is no guarantee that the police officers will find anything if they really investigate.
Auntie, you must not make things worse.
Tan Liansheng prayed that Amei Tong would not do anything stupid.
…
After Mu Tian left the detective agency, he ran to the newspaper office.
Yingzi was in the car and saw something was wrong on the road, "Where are you going? You're not going home."
"Let's go to the newspaper office. Ruoxi doesn't have a car today and has to work overtime. I'm responsible for taking her home. By the way, I want to ask about the blood gem necklace." Mu Tian apologized to Yingzi, "I feel sorry for you to take a ride with me."
"I'm not afraid of going for a ride with you. I like it. You asked me about the necklace. What if she likes it and wants it? Will you give it to her?" When Yingzi asked, she looked at Mu Tian with a pout.
"Haha, who wants every good thing like you, just like a child." Mu Tian teased.
"They said she is a child, but sister Ruoxi doesn't look like a child. Let me ask you, if she wants it, will you give it to her?"
"This is stolen goods and will be returned to the customer. What are you thinking about? Ruoxi won't ask for it." Mu Tian said with certainty.
"I don't believe it. What girl wouldn't want such a beautiful thing?" Yingzi said arrogantly.
"Look, there is a principled difference between wanting something and being able to have it." Mu Tian seemed to have become serious.
Yingzi made a "chip" sound in her nose, rolled her eyes and saw that Mu had stopped talking.
"What clothes did you pick out for your mother and aunt today?" Mu Tian saw that Yingzi glanced at him and stopped talking. Knowing that she was angry again, Mu Tian asked without saying anything.
As soon as he heard this, Yingzi became excited and tried to please Mu Tian, talking all the time.
In a blink of an eye, we arrived at the newspaper office.
When Ji Ruoxi saw Yingzi coming, she poured her a cup of coffee and said that she had one more manuscript and she could leave after reviewing it. She knew that Yingzi was like a fart bug, but Mu Tian pampered her like this all day long, so she couldn't
It’s not a good idea. I start to lose focus while reading the manuscript, and my speed also slows down.
Mu Tian wanted to go to the reference room to read Xia Qiuyan's other serial works, but Ji Ruoxi told him that the reference room was already off work. They only worked overtime when there was major news and usually got off work normally. Mu Tian had to sit next to him.
He was flipping through newspapers casually on the table.
Ji Fenglin called and said that his affairs were over and he was already on his way home. He asked Ji Ruoxi if he wanted to take her home. Ji Ruoxi said that Mu Tian was already here and would take her home, so she told Ji Fenglin not to come over.
.
When Yingzi heard what she said on the phone, jealousy suddenly rose in her heart. She stood up and said that she had to leave first.
Mu Tian whispered, "It's very dangerous so late."
"I'm not afraid of being late, and I don't want to be a lightbulb! Besides, there's no curfew yet, so what's the danger?"
"Be obedient and let's go together." Mu Tian growled in a low voice.
Ji Ruoxi listened to their conversation and felt funny.
At this time, Lao Zhang from the advertising department knocked on the door and came in. When he saw Mu Tian, he said "Hello, Inspector Mu" and handed Ji Ruoxi a large sample and a leaflet.
"Miss, this is the proof of the classified advertisement that will appear in the newspaper tomorrow. Please review and sign it," Lao Zhang said.
"Isn't this signed by Vice President Shao? How can you give it to me?" Ji Ruoxi asked in surprise.
"Vice President Shao has read it. Because there is an urgent missing person advertisement here and the layout needs to be adjusted, he asked the eldest lady to make an appointment to remove the article." Lao Zhang explained.
Ji Ruoxi glanced at it and asked him to put it here until she finished reading the manuscript.
Lao Zhang put down the proofs and advertisements and bowed away.
As soon as Mu Tian heard the urgent notice of missing persons, he immediately thought of Tan Liansheng who was locked up in the detective facility. "Response so quickly?" He stepped forward to pick up the manuscript and read it.
The advertisement was written in a confusing way, but it was definitely not for Tan Liansheng.
"Brother Da Ming, unfortunately lost his way the day before yesterday. Now he is staying at my uncle's house. I hope to see you again soon. The weather is getting colder, please remember to add more clothes. Weng Heqi."
Seeing that Mu Tian was fascinated, Yingzi also came over to watch.
Ji Ruoxi had already finished reviewing the manuscript. Seeing that the two of them were almost leaning against each other looking at the advertisement manuscript, she stepped forward and grabbed the manuscript. She read it herself, flipped through the fourth page, circled an article on it, and wrote
She changed the advertisement, marked it on the advertisement manuscript, and put it in a document basket. "It's done, let's go." She stared at Yingzi with a smile and said.
Yingzi looked at Ji Ruoxi's smooth operations and felt that Ji Ruoxi was so "sassy". She completely forgot about her jealousy and clapped her hands happily.
Mu Tian took out the necklace and showed it to Ji Ruoxi.
Ji Ruoxi's eyes immediately lit up when she saw it, "Given it to me? It's so beautiful. Where did you get this?"
Yingzi was nervous but her expression was full of ridicule. I mean, did you see it? That’s what I said.
Mu Tian said no, it was stolen goods from a case, and I just found one. I just brought it with me and asked her to take a look. She is well-informed, and what is the story of this necklace.
Ji Ruoxi said, you really found the right person. She said that this necklace belonged to an old Belarusian couple. They claimed to be descendants of the Ekaterina family and fled to Shanghai from Russia. But they were too old and did not bring it out.
With a few rubles, I used this necklace to maintain my former aristocratic life. It is said that this necklace was a token of love from Peter the Great to his lover Catherine. Later they got married, and Catherine was originally called "Maria"
"Erta", her name is engraved on the back of this pendant. Later, Catherine became the emperor and tsarina of Russia.
Mu Tian was shocked after hearing this. This Watanabe Avenue is not simple. It collects not only gold and silver treasures, but also things with cultural relic value.
It seems that I need to adjust my approach to handling cases.
