Lai Jianhua said in a slightly calm tone, "Captain Han, it's not that our museum doesn't cooperate. Think about it for yourself that this ancient corpse is almost two thousand years old. It is not easy to preserve so many pieces. Even the iron lump can't rust early. wanted."

"You look at it well now. Maybe once you open the incubator and contact the outside air, it will be irreversibly damaged. Who will bear the responsibility?"

Han Bin looked serious and asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm Lai Jianhua." Lai Jianhua was a little confused, "What's wrong?"

"what is your job?"

"I'm the deputy curator of Qindao Museum. I'm asking about cultural relics."

Han Bin snorted, "You are ashamed to say that you are the deputy curator of the museum. The museum has been stolen. The police have done their duty to help you catch the thief and retrieve the lost property. As for verifying whether items have been stolen, that is Why should we be held responsible for your museum’s own affairs?"

"Captain Han, you can't say that. After the incubator is opened, no one can guarantee that the ancient corpse will not be damaged, and we can't be the master."

Han Bin asked, "Who said that the incubator must be opened? As long as the authenticity of the ancient corpse is identified by other methods, why bother to open the incubator."

"You have been in the museum for half your life. I don't know if your cultural relics have been repackaged. You have to open the incubator to be sure? What do you eat? Are you eligible to be the deputy director of the museum?"

"I..." Lai Jianhua was speechless.

Han Bin said sternly, "I have a certain understanding of antiques and ancient corpses. You said that ancient corpses are the most important collection in the museum. Then your museum must have deep research. I don’t believe that only by opening the incubator can the authenticity be verified. ."

"It is true or not, as long as an expert familiar with the ancient corpse carefully examines it, it will definitely be able to identify it."

Lai Jianhua wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I...mainly in charge of management. The identification of ancient corpses is not my specialty, and I am not very good at it."

"Who in your museum has the most research on ancient corpses, you should always know this."

"I know." Lai Jianhua replied and continued, "Captain Han, do you think this will work? I will go back and call an expert for a meeting to see how to distinguish the authenticity of the ancient corpse without opening the incubator."

"It should be done like this a long time ago. What's the use of you talking to me for a long time? I'm not an expert in identifying ancient corpses. It's safe to say that you can put the blame on the police.

"No, no, I definitely didn't mean that."

Han Bin said, "Verify as soon as possible, I am willing to wait for your news."

"Then I'll go first." Lai Jianhua stood up, preparing to leave the office.

"Wait a minute." Han Bin yelled to the other person and ordered, "Wang Xiao, Jiang Yang, you two should follow Curator Lai, and report to me in time."

"Yes."

Lai Jianhua's face changed slightly, a little embarrassed, "Captain Han, don't bother the two comrades, I will let you know as soon as I have any news."

Han Bin smiled and said, "It's okay, let them go, they are very experienced in theft, maybe they can help you out."

"But it's not suitable for outsiders to be present for meetings inside our museum."

"The theft has already happened and it is no longer your museum's own business. There is nothing inappropriate for our police presence. You really want to think they are inappropriate, or should I go?"

"Don't, don't dare to bother you all." Lai Jianhua showed a bit of bitterness. He could see that this Han Bin is very good at talking, and it is not a good match when something happens. "It's the two comrades. "

But think about it carefully, aren't all the police like this.

He is humble and powerful, and the deputy curator can crush him in terms of rank, and he is usually polite to himself.

But something is really going to happen, people speak better than themselves.

No matter what Lai Jianhua thought, Han Bin called Li Qin and Bao Xing for a meeting.

Bao Xing said, "The Korean team, I always feel that Lai Jianhua has a problem. Will he be in the same group as Li Zhantong."

"Your uncle also said that the preservation of ancient corpses is very particular. People without professional knowledge can't do it. Ordinary people don't have the skills to steal. Moreover, Li Zhantong played cards with people in the lounge that night. There are accomplices."

Han Bin nodded. He also agreed with Bao Xing's idea. Li Zhantong must have an accomplice, and Lai Jianhua's attitude is indeed suspicious. That's why Han Bin let Wang Xiao and Jiang Yang go to the museum.

Moreover, when Han Bin interrogated Li Zhantong, he found that Li Zhantong was confident, and seemed to believe that the museum would not admit that the corpse was stolen.

It makes sense if he is sure that Lai Jianhua will help him cover.

The people do not raise officials or correct them. As long as the museum does not admit that the corpse was stolen, and the police did not find the corpse, the theft case would not be established.

...

In a black car.

Ma Jingbo was sitting in the back row, watching the video, "Turn right at the intersection ahead."

"The horse team, go further to the right and enter Sanqiao Town."

Ma Jingbo nodded to indicate that he knew.

Half an hour ago, Ma Jingbo led people to search Li Zhantong's car and called out the driving recorder of Li Zhantong's car.

Ma Jingbo discovered from the video that Li Zhantong had been to a brick kiln. Based on Ma Jingbo’s experience, suspects often hide stolen goods in such places.

Following the content of the video, Ma Jingbo and others followed all the way, and found a brick kiln ten minutes later.

The brick kiln has been abandoned, construction has not been started, and no people can be seen.

Ma Jingbo led people out of the car, called the people over and gave a few words in a low voice, and then began to lead people to search the brick kiln.

The inside of the brick kiln is open. After entering, it is very empty. An agricultural tricycle is parked at the entrance of the brick kiln, and a container is placed close to the inside.

Zhang Shungu walked over and took a closer look. "The horse team, this agricultural three-way vehicle looks like a suspect used to steal the body."

Ma Jingbo nodded and walked straight to the container.

The outside of the container was locked, Ma Jingbo knocked it, and there was no movement inside.

"Pry the lock."

One of the team members ran back to the car numbly and fetched large iron tongs, which broke the lock directly.

Ma Jingbo arranged it and asked everyone to be careful.

A special person opened the door of the container, and Zhang Shungu led people in to search.

The area of ​​the container is not large. After opening the door, there is an incubator inside. There is a corpse in the incubator. It looks a little weird in Han Dynasty costumes.

Ma Jingbo showed a smile, patted the incubator, and faced He Yingsheng on the side, "Take a picture and send it to Han Bin."

...

After receiving the photo, Han Bin immediately called Ma Jingbo to find out about the situation.

Then Li Zhantong was arraigned again.

Municipal Public Security Bureau, the third interrogation room.

Han Bin looked at Li Zhantong, "Li Zhantong, what is your relationship with Lai Jianhua?"

"Curator Lai." Li Zhantong smiled, "We have nothing to do. If we have to say, he will count as my leader."

"How do you know that Lai Jianhua is unwilling to admit that the ancient corpse was stolen?"

Li Zhantong shrugged, "Because the ancient corpse has not been stolen in the first place, how can he admit that there is nothing."

Han Bin continued to ask, "Do you have a black modern car?"

"Correct."

"How much is the license plate number and where is it?"

"It's in the underground garage of Baishi District, with the license plate number Lu B372CD."

"Where have you been recently?"

Li Zhantong frowned, "Go to work, where can I go?"

"We checked your driving recorder and found that you had been to a brick kiln recently. Our team leader led people to search the brick kiln." Han Bin took out a photo and placed it on the table. "This ancient corpse was found in the brick kiln. Yes, how do you explain?"

Li Zhantong stretched his hand forward, then retracted it again, looking down at the photo, his face became ugly.

"Li Zhantong, you said you want to fight for a commutation of your sentence. I gave you the opportunity, but unfortunately you did not cherish it. Now the evidence we have found is enough to convict you. You have been lying, and your previous testimony is not credible, and the court does not Will accept it." Han Bin's tone became more severe.

"You can not say it, but it does not mean that your accomplices do not say it. Once they have confessed, you can also be convicted. When the time comes, you can stay in prison firmly."

Li Zhantong's breathing was a bit short, and a lot of sweat came out on his face.

"Comrade police, can I confess now that I can reduce my sentence for meritorious service?"

"Then it depends on the value of what you explain. As long as your attitude is good enough, I will help you fight for it."

Li Zhantong was silent for a long time, seeming to know that he could not hide, and gritted his teeth, "I admit...I stole the female corpse in the funeral home, and Han Weilong is not the mastermind, I am the mastermind."

"Where is the stolen female body in the funeral home?"

"In the museum." Li Zhantong sighed, "Captain Han, I admire you very much. You are really powerful, and you have guessed it. I did use that female corpse to fake an ancient corpse, and then I took the ancient corpse in the funeral home. The package will not be discovered by the museum, and it can be sold for a big price."

"How did you guess?"

"It doesn't matter how I guessed it. Tell me about your accomplices and how did you get the ancient corpse out?"

"In addition to Wei Hongxi, I have three accomplices, Ma Xiaojun, Fang Yong, and Chen Yuexi. Among them, Ma Xiaojun and Fang Yong are mainly responsible for handling, and Wei Hongxi helps them cover. Chen Yuexi is a technician in the museum. He can provide technical support and guarantee The corpse will not be damaged during transportation."

"Where is Lai Jianhua? Isn't he one of yours?"

"No."

Han Bin asked, "Then where do you feel confident that the museum will not admit that the corpse was stolen?"

"Guess." Li Zhantong showed a touch of self-deprecating expression, "I think I am quite stupid. I have chosen a target with great pains, but in the end it is nothing, too stupid."

"We have contacted the buyer a long time ago. I contacted the buyer for inspection the day after the ancient corpse was stolen. Who knows..." Li Zhanjiang patted his head vigorously, showing an annoyed look, "Buyer The inspection found that the ancient corpse was fake, thinking that we wanted to swindle money, and almost made a few of us."

"fake?"

"Yes. We stole a fake ancient corpse from the museum. There are traces of modern chemicals on the corpse. It is not a few years earlier than our fake female corpse. The **** in these museums almost killed us."

Han Bin sorted out his thoughts, he had never thought about this before, "Are you lying, trying to conceal the whereabouts of the real ancient corpse?"

Li Zhantong raised three fingers, "Captain Han, I can swear to God, what I said is true. The ancient corpse stolen from the museum is indeed a fake. If you don't believe me, you can ask other accomplices. They can all testify."

"What is the name of that buyer?"

"I don't know his real name. I only know that other people have seen him. Fan is a ruthless character. Seeing that the corpse is fake, I directly asked the subordinates to hold us down.

"how does he look like?"

"I don't know. He is wearing a mask and a hat, and he is about 1.8 meters tall."

"how old?"

"I'm not sure, maybe 30 or 40 years old."

"How did you get in touch?"

"I have heard of his name a long time ago, and I knew it was a wealthy buyer. Later, I contacted him online. He was very careful and asked for a lot of information from me, but I don't know much about his situation."

"Where is he now?"

"It should be abroad. He always used the foreign mobile phone number when he contacted me. After the transaction, he destroyed all the contact information, and I can't contact him now."

"The technician named Chen Yuexi didn't know that the ancient corpse was fake?"

"do not know."

"How long has he been working in the museum?"

"It should be two or three years."

Li Zhantong sighed, "In fact, I have long heard that many exhibits in the museum are fake, so I didn’t steal the porcelain and jade that are easier to carry. One is that they are not as valuable as ancient corpses, and the other I think are fake. It's very likely."

"Who knows, my long-chosen goal is still a fake, it's disgusting."

Han Bin jotted it down in his notebook and asked a few more questions. Li Zhantong didn't conceal any more, and explained the matter very clearly.

...

After returning to the office, Han Bin called Ma Jingbo to report on the situation, but Ma Jingbo still did not come back at the scene.

Han Bin went to Ding Xifeng's office to report in person.

After understanding the situation, Ding Xifeng ordered, "You call Lai Jianhua over, and we will make a note for him."

"Yes." Han Bin replied. With Ding Xifeng as his backing, Han Bin's confidence is a lot stronger.

Half an hour later, Lai Jianhua was taken to the police station, and he panicked as soon as he entered the interrogation room.

"Why did you bring me here? I am the deputy curator of the museum. Even if our museum loses something, you can't interrogate me?"

Han Bin didn't talk nonsense with him, and pointed to Ding Xifeng who was sitting in the main seat, "Chancellor Lai, this is the Ding Xifeng Detachment Captain of our Qindao City Criminal Investigation Detachment."

Lai Jianhua looked at Ding Xifeng on the side, "Hello, Ding Detachment, what are you doing with me? We have something to say."

Ding Xifeng did not answer, and Han Bin said, "I want to tell you the truth, do you have a truth in your mouth?"

"I...what's wrong with me?"

"I ask you, is the female corpse in the museum a real ancient corpse?"

"This...I don't know. I'm still asking the experts to find a way to see if they can identify without opening the incubator. Give me some more time, I believe I can figure it out." Speaking of this, Lai Jianhua asked, "You don't think I'm in the same group with those thieves, right."

"I'm wrong, I'm really not a bad person. You caught the wrong person."

Han Bin walked over, took out a picture and put it on the interrogation chair, "You see what this is for yourself?"

Lai Jianhua showed a look of surprise, "Isn't this... the Han dynasty female corpse in our museum? Where was this taken? Not in our museum."

Han Bin said, “This corpse was found in an abandoned brick kiln. According to Li Zhantong’s account, they stole the corpse from the museum. The current female corpse in the museum was forged by them. The owner of the corpse is called Lu Yue'e. It was stolen in the funeral home a few days ago."

Lai Jianhua squeezed a smile, "This...this happened. We didn't know that the ancient corpse was stolen. Ding Detachment and Captain Han thank you so much."

"Don't rush to thank you. According to Li Zhantong's account, the female body of the Han Dynasty stolen from the museum is also a fake and a modern imitation. Curator Lai, you should have known about this a long time ago." Han Bin warned solemnly. , "Think clearly before answering, deliberately deceiving the police, but you have to bear legal responsibility. You can't bear the consequences."

Lai Jianhua let out a sigh of relief. He really couldn't bear the consequences of lying when Han Bin said it. Unlike Li Zhantong and others, he didn't want to ruin his future.

"You are right. The female corpses of the Han Dynasty kept in the museum were originally fakes."

"What about the female corpses of the Han Dynasty?"

Lai Jianhua scratched his hair, "It was damaged a long time ago. After being unearthed, the female body began to decay from the inside. Putting it in an incubator would not help. It was too late when we discovered the problem."

Han Bin asked, "So you used fake Han dynasty female corpses to deceive tourists' ticket money?"

Lai Jianhua lowered his head, "Actually, many of the collections in the museum are imitations, but it is not deliberately deceiving visitors, but some collections require higher preservation, such as light, temperature, climate, oxygen content, etc. It is impossible to exhibit for a long time, otherwise the cultural relics will be damaged. This is also a convention in the industry."

“We didn’t deliberately deceive, but for various reasons. We decided to make an imitation and put it on display in the exhibition hall. Although the female corpse is an imitation, the appearance is no different from the real ancient corpse. ."

Han Bin asked, "Where did the corpse you used to imitate the ancient corpse come from?"

Lai Jianhua pursed his lips and was silent.

Han Bin directly ordered, "Bao Xing, go check the missing persons, especially the young women missing near the museum."

"Yes." Bao Xing agreed very happily.

Lai Jianhua hurriedly stopped, "Don't, Captain Han, we are cultural relics workers and we have iron rice bowls. How can we kill people."

"Where did the corpse come from?"

Lai Jianhua was silent for a moment, and said, "We got it through donation of remains."

"The museum can also get body donations? Why haven't I heard of it."

"Naturally we don't have one. This corpse was borrowed from Kotoshima Medical College."

Han Bin frowned, "Teacher General?"

"Yes."

"When did you come from medical school?"

"Five years ago."

Upon hearing this, Han Bin immediately remembered the general teacher who had been lost at the Qindao Medical College five years ago. There have been rumors of this, but the school officials have never admitted it.

It now appears that the general teacher from five years ago was indeed not stolen, but was given to the Qindao Museum to imitate the ancient corpse.

Han Bin asked, "Do you know why the donated body is called Teacher Dati?"

Lai Jianhua bowed his head and said nothing.

Han Bin continued, "Those corpses are used for medical school students to study the human body. It is to promote the development of medical career, so they are honored as general teachers. The selfless dedication of donors is to benefit all mankind."

"And in order to attract more visitors and sell more tickets, your museum privately imitated the teacher as an ancient corpse exhibition. This is a kind of blasphemy to the teacher. Is it worthy of their contribution?"

"Is it worthy of my conscience?"

Han Bin's remarks made Lai Jianhua utterly complacent, and he also knew that he was wrong in doing so.

But he is not alone in some matters.
