If it had been according to the character of the original customer, Gu Xisha, Zhuo Zhuo would have been pulled out a long time ago, either by coercion or bribery, or by intimidation and flickering, no matter what he had to obediently hand over the clown wood carving.
But Li Yuebai did not choose this path.
He called Ye Qing out, and the two quietly exchanged ideas in the corridor.
"Zhuo Zhuo is very suspicious. I have three suspicions now." Li Yuebai said, "First, he is controlled by a dormant body."
This idea is easy to understand. So far, they have seen several people whose minds were controlled by the dormant body, and they all became very paranoid and abnormal, and they would not listen to anyone who persuaded them.
"Second, he knows the inside story, he knows about the dormant body, and out of a kind of self-pursuit, he hopes to become a vampire." Li Yuebai uttered an astonishing statement: "He hid the clown wood carving just to find an opportunity , secretly opened it, and was possessed."
According to the setting, if the vampire is not killed, it can live forever.
How powerful is the allure of the word "eternal life", one can imagine that Qin Shihuang, as the first emperor, spent half of his life in the pursuit of eternal life after sitting on the world's thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.
The rulers of the past dynasties after him, asking for immortals, going to the poor and falling to the underworld, are also struggling to pursue eternal life.
It is conceivable that in the last life, when the vampire's secret was announced, how many human beings fell into madness.
eternal life! eternal life!
Please possess me!
After a short period of madness, most people calmed down.
Although vampires can live forever, there will be some changes in their appearance. They need to suck blood, don't like sunlight, are afraid of garlic and sterling silver... these are all okay to say, the most important thing is that they will accept the pursuit of the police all over the world, and the support of vampire hunters. Hunted, and betrayed by relatives and friends.
It is said to be eternal life, but it is very likely that a silver bullet will come and everything will be over.
Speaking of eternal life, how do you know that you are still you after being possessed by a dormant body? Maybe your sense of self is gone.
Therefore, many ordinary people have honestly chosen the conservative evasion route.
On the other hand, there are not a few people who take risks for the sake of eternal life, especially those who already hold certain powers.
They are tough, aggressive, afraid of death, love power and money, want to be in control, and have enough self-confidence to fight vampire hunters.
So in the original plot, human beings will fall into a bitter confrontation with vampires-because too many high-level human elites have joined the camp of vampires in pursuit of immortality.
Now, the situation is still unclear, and the vast majority of people still know nothing about vampires.
But it can also be predicted that among the very few people who know about the existence of dormant vampire bodies, there must be a few who wish to be possessed by dormant bodies and become vampires!
Zhuo Zhuo may be one of them.
He is an expert on cultural relics himself, and he is very sensitive to news. The previous few cases were all related to cultural relics, and none of them were announced to the public. Perhaps Zhuo Zhuo knew the inside story through some channel.
"Is there a third possibility?"
"The third possibility is." Li Yuebai paused: "He is Gao Chengyu's subordinate."
"..."
"Think about it from Gao Chengyu's point of view." Li Yuebai said: "You are Vlad III, the king of vampires, possessing great power and immortality. You are not in the country, but your old henchmen are all in the country , there are some unowned dormant bodies scattered in the country... Then why don't you send your henchmen to collect these dormant bodies? Thinking about it further, maybe you are willing to organize an army of vampires... "
"Think about it from the perspective of Gao Chengyu's party members. You have followed the leader for many years and suddenly became Vlad III. As a desperado, do you have to work even more crazily for him? Do you feel like becoming a vampire? Is it a big temptation? Did you decide to make a big fight?" Li Yuebai said: "So they didn't come to hunt me down, because they were busy collecting dormant bodies, waiting to turn themselves into vampires, by that time , I am vulnerable in their eyes."
"But, Zhuo Zhuo is too high-profile." Ye Qing said.
"That's because his character has always been like this." Li Yuebai nodded: "When everyone is used to his high profile and arrogance, they won't feel abnormal when they see the current situation, did you pay attention to other restoration experts just now? They have worked with Zhuo Zhuo for a long time, they are familiar with him and trust him, and they don't think it is strange for him to occupy cultural relics at all...so they are all busy with their own work, and they will not make a fuss at all."
"If we hadn't arrived, the news wouldn't have spread at all," Ye Qing said.
"Yes, Zhuo Zhuo's behavior, the restoration experts are used to not say it outside, the team leader Wang is thin-skinned and embarrassed to say... Besides, the clown wood carvings are not on display." Li Yuebai sighed: "If we don't come, Zhuo Zhuo will find an opportunity to avoid other people's eyes, and secretly take away the dormant body in the clown wood carving."
If the third possibility is true, then Zhuo Zhuo must not have thought that Gu Xisha and Ye Qing would come to him personally.
The city bureau is so busy, how could it be possible to notice a clown wood carving that has not been announced to the public
The good plan was seen by the two of them in this way, Zhuo Zhuo not only didn't panic, but just played around like this, and the human design was implemented consistently.
Anyway, he has a lot of retreats, even if he is stolen and captured in the end, he can push it to the dormant body, saying that the dormant body confused his brain.
"Zhuo Zhuo will change his plan next." Ye Qing said: "Since we are here, he will definitely deal with it."
"Yes." Li Yuebai stared directly at the situation in the restoration room through the window.
There are too many restoration experts, let alone a security team watching here—the security guards are also afraid that Zhuo Zhuo will steal the cultural relics away, so the only thing Zhuo Zhuo can do is to lock the clown woodcarving in front of everyone. In the safe, there is no chance to touch it alone.
Next, what Zhuo Zhuo has to do is probably to fight for a chance to meet alone, or even to escape.
To deal with criminals who show their teeth and claws, Li Yuebai can of course go up and chop it up, but this is the restoration room, the site of the restoration team. As an expert, Zhuo Zhuo has the right to temporarily keep cultural relics. If Li Yuebai goes up to extract a confession, force him to tell The combination of the safe is a crime.
Li Yuebai was not in a hurry, so he took Ye Qing back to the repair room and found a chair to sit down, so he could continue to observe in his spare time.
Zhuo Zhuo was less anxious than him, still sitting at the table with his legs crossed, directing and swearing.
The restoration of cultural relics has reached the final stage, and it is about to be completed, but the air pressure in the restoration room is low.
Seeing everyone's unkind faces, team leader Wang was so frightened that he broke out in a few more drops of cold sweat.
Wang Wen is the team leader temporarily assigned by the museum. He doesn't have the skills to restore cultural relics. He is not on the same side as experts like Zhuo Zhuo. Although he only worked with Zhuo Zhuo for a few days, he was tortured a lot.
Now it seems that the God of Plague is about to be sent away. I don't want the God of Plague to provoke the police again.
Looking at the situation, Wang Wen was really worried that a gun battle would break out here in a while.
Anyway, the repair work is almost over, and he, the team leader, has nothing to do, so he should comfort the comrades of the police.
Wang Wen coughed twice, pulled a table over, sat across from Li Yuebai and Ye Qing, and waved at the intern: "Xiaotian, come over and make some good tea."
The intern wearing black-rimmed glasses hurriedly escaped from Zhuo Zhuo's clutches, found three Jingdezhen porcelain cups from the cabinet, cleaned them, and brought them over with tea.
The whole set of movements is well-behaved and neat, not as sloppy as ordinary graduates, no wonder, working with Zhuo Zhuo and being scolded by him every day, this technique should have been practiced long ago.
"How long has Xiaotian been working?" Li Yuebai asked casually after taking the tea.
"A few days." Oda shyly put down his teacup and scratched his head: "I came here through an internship recruitment. It's just a few days. I have to go back to class after I'm done."
"Working with that expert is hard, isn't it?" Li Yuebai became more and more gossip, feeling like a gossip, but there was no other way, in order to ask more information about Zhuo Zhuo, he had to do so.
"It's nothing, it's nothing, it's not hard work, it's not hard work." Oda waved his hands hastily: "The professional level of the expert teacher is very high, and the requirements are also very strict. I can learn a lot from the teacher."
He is well-behaved, knowing that Zhuo Zhuo can hear him, he dare not say anything bad.
Li Yuebai took out a pen and paper from the folder, and changed it to a written conversation.
From Zhuo Zhuo's perspective, it was impossible to see what they were writing.
Li Yuebai wrote: Did Zhuo Zhuo behave abnormally
When Oda saw this line of words, he was startled, a trace of panic flashed across his face.
After all, he was just an intern, and no one dared to offend him, but the police had to answer the questions.
Xiaotian looked at Team Leader Wang tentatively, and seeing that Team Leader Wang didn't stop him, he carefully wrote on the paper: A bit, I can't tell.
The written conversation between the two went very slowly, Li Yuebai asked repeatedly, and only then learned from Oda that there was something wrong with Zhuo Zhuo, as if he was in contact with someone in private.
Contact Gao Chengyu? Li Yuebai guessed naturally.
He was only focused on writing and talking, and he didn't even have time to drink the tea. As soon as he picked it up, there was a loud noise behind him.
I was already nervous, but when I heard this voice, I immediately shook my teacup, and turned around to fight...
The result is just the sound of an instrument shutting down.
"No change, don't be nervous." Ye Qing despised him calmly.
"..." Li Yuebai was embarrassed.
Turning around again, I found that an even more embarrassing thing had happened—all the cup of tea I had just dumped on Team Leader Wang Da.
"It's not in the way..." Group leader Wang was very embarrassed. He picked up a tissue from the table and wiped the water on his clothes vigorously. He was not a repair expert, and he didn't wear a white coat. It's transparent.
Li Yuebai helped his forehead helplessly, feeling that he was comparable to the idiot heroine cleaning girl in TV dramas, and Gu Xisha's character design has long since disappeared.
After such a fuss, Zhuo Zhuo looked here a few more times, thinking that Li Yuebai was playing tricks again.
Li Yuebai was ashamed, and felt that he was simply sorry for the villain's attention.
The time passed by every minute and every second, and soon it was 12 o'clock at noon.
Ye Qing got impatient and took out his computer to type for a long time.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and the secretary came in.
"Zhuo Zhuo, the reply from above has been approved." The secretary held a red-headed document in his hand: "It is agreed to send the wood carving away."
Zhuo Zhuo raised his eyebrows and showed a triumphant smile.
