At 8 o'clock in the evening, in the case analysis room of Fengping Police Station, Zhao Yu and his team members were analyzing information about the treasure case.
Since the previous office had been destroyed, they had to move to the police station's professional case analysis room.
"This thing... is so strange!" Facing the whiteboard filled with information, Cui Lizhu expressed her deep doubts, "So... those people on the list are basically experts who have helped the Secret Service investigate treasures over the years. Already?"
"Yes!" Li Beini introduced to everyone, "These 16 people are experts from various fields. Since the 1960s, they have successively participated in the investigation of gold treasures, and they have all signed formal confidentiality agreements."
"Starting in the 1960s..." Liu Zhanbing asked, "So... what about before the 1960s?"
"This information is not shown!" Li Beini shook her head and said, "It was only mentioned in several investigation reports. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the relevant departments have not stopped investigating! I guess it is because of the division of labor and integration of departments. So there is something missing, right? But it doesn’t rule out that the information Li Jing gave us is incomplete."
"One after another..." Cui Lizhu pointed at the 16 names and asked, "Except for the last 5 and the first 11, can all of them be confirmed to have died of natural causes?"
"Yes!" Li Beini nodded, "The information clearly shows that the first 11 experts died of natural causes, not murder!"
"Then... what did the next five people say?" Cui Lizhu asked again, "Are they sure it was murder?"
Li Beini nodded slightly: "It's just suspicion! According to the data, Yuan Juncheng, Li Shijiang, Gu Xilai, Bai Wenhua and Shao Jun, these five people are indeed suspected of committing suicide. But the irony is that I drafted this document myself! Also! That is to say, it was not until our special investigation team discovered this matter that the Secret Service began to pay official attention!"
"What are you doing?" Cui Lizhu glanced at Zhao Yu and frowned, "You know these experts are so important, why don't you send someone to protect them?"
"That's not the case. The participation of these old experts in the treasure investigation is in the nature of consultants. In fact, they have retired for a long time!" Li Beini said, "After retirement, according to the confidentiality agreement, they have not participated in any treasure-related investigations. .”
"That's not okay!" Cui Lizhu spread her hands and pointed to the five names on the whiteboard and said, "These five people didn't die together. There were several months before and after. Were all the people in the Secret Service just free food?" If one dies, it can be considered an accident, but if the second or third dies, shouldn’t it still attract attention?”
"This question... I'm afraid we can only ask the Secret Service!" Li Beini shook her head, "However, according to my analysis of the data, it is very possible that this matter was ignored by them!"
"Oh? Why?" Cui Lizhu asked.
"Because times have changed! The Secret Service has been trying new methods and approaches!" Li Beini opened the big screen and pointed to a document and explained, "You see, since 9 years ago, these experts have no longer been working for the Secret Service. Served! They all have their own jobs and lives, and finding treasures is just a project they participated in back then."
"Yes!" Xu Hai said, "Although I don't know much about it, I can imagine that it is impossible for the Secret Service to spend so much energy to protect or monitor these old experts for a long time!"
"The most important thing is," Li Beini opened another source material and continued her argument, "the treasure has not been found! Therefore, there is no need for the Secret Service to worry too much. Someone will take advantage of these experts. Moreover, in the past There has never been a similar precedent!”
"Yes!" Zhang Jingfeng slapped his head, "Then this is really weird! What does the murderer want to get from them?"
"Indeed, professional truth serum was also used..." Liu Zhanbing frowned, "Old experts don't know where the treasure is hidden, so what else can we get from their mouths?"
"Huh?" Cui Lizhu's eyes suddenly widened and she said mysteriously, "Tell me, could it be that... what's wrong with these five old experts? For example... they kept something secret? They have obviously discovered important clues about the treasure but they didn't. They didn’t report it, but people found out later, so they were asked to tell the truth and then kill people to silence them!?”
"The possibility of this kind of thing is too small!" Li Beini shook her head, "This treasure is an extraordinary treasure, but anyone with an IQ will understand that the treasure belongs to the country and no one can take it for themselves! Besides, these old people The experts are all veteran comrades with strong ideas, and they will never do such childish things!"
"Tsk, tsk..." Zhang Jingfeng frowned, "Then... what else could it be? Veritaserum, and a state-of-the-art murder drug. What does the murderer... want to do?"
"Unless..." Liu Zhanbing shook his head and said, "Unless... these old experts have some important information, or treasure maps, etc. They themselves did not realize that these things were related to the treasure, but the murderer did. Therefore, the murderer wants to force them to tell them and then kill them to silence them!"
"Huh?" Zhang Jingfeng's eyes lit up, "Don't tell me, this really makes sense! It sounds like a movie, very exciting!"
"But..." Li Beini frowned, "The document makes it clear that when the experts withdraw, it is impossible for the Secret Service to let them take away the information! Moreover, the Secret Service also has a special monitoring system. If these five experts are in If there is anything involving the treasure after leaving, I will definitely notice it!"
"So... this idea is wrong?" Liu Zhanbing shook his head regretfully. Everyone felt more and more strange about this matter.
"Nine years!" Xu Hai weighed and asked, "The old experts have been away for nine years. So who will investigate the treasure in these nine years? Have any new experts been hired?"
"No!" Li Beini said, "The Secret Service mainly focuses on high technology, as well as some international news. I can see an obvious sense of powerlessness from their reports. Think about it, since they haven't found anything for more than 80 years. , people have to think differently! Maybe those treasures are all fictitious, or they have been destroyed by war... "
"No, if the treasure doesn't exist at all, then aren't we doing useless work? Oops..." Cui Lizhu said distressedly, "What a pity for my mansion! Hmm..."
At this time, Cui Lizhu suddenly saw Zhao Yu looking at the whiteboard solemnly, as if he was thinking about some important issue. Out of curiosity, she tugged at the corner of Zhao Yu's clothes and asked, "Boss, what are you thinking about?"
"Hmm..." Zhao Yu said while looking at the whiteboard without blinking, "I don't know... have you found a problem? Look... the order of the Secret Service list and Tao Xiang's list are exactly the same?"
"Oh?" Li Beini was the first to react and said hurriedly, "The lists of the Secret Service are all written in the order in which experts are hired! When you say that, it's true!"
"Oh... Since this list comes from the Secret Service..." Cui Lizhu suddenly understood, "Boss, do you mean that my father stole the list from the Secret Service?"
"Wow, you are indeed the king of thieves. Even the Secret Service dares to steal!" Xu Hai was surprised.
"No!" Who knows, Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "I feel that this matter may be more complicated than we thought! It seems... I have to seriously consider what Li Jing said before!"
"Oh? What are you talking about?" Cui Lizhu asked hurriedly.
"Xiao Cui!" Zhao Yu turned around, stared at Cui Lizhu seriously, and said meaningfully, "Tell me, what else do you have that you haven't confessed honestly?"
