I am a super cop
Chapter 1715 Proofing [2 in 1 Chapter]
Chapter 1715 Proofing [Chapter Two in One]
It can be seen that Xu Feng has put a lot of thought into Tessa, and the [-] blood-qin ancient jade, if you buy it, you can buy it.
The key is to go to Hejia Village in Gaoquling by bicycle. It can be seen that Tessa has completely grasped Xu Feng.
But in this way, Tessa became the key person in this link.
First of all, Xu Feng may not be very clear about the symbols and totems on the ancient Xueqin jade.
And Xu Feng was bewitched by Tessa to buy back the ancient Xueqin jade, so it stands to reason that the ancient Xueqin jade from He Shaoqing's family should still be in Tessa's hands.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen hurriedly asked him: "So that ancient jade is still in Tessa's hands, right?"
"Yes, it should be in Tessa's hands. I remember she seemed very happy after getting that ancient jade."
"Because I don't know what's so good about this ancient jade, and I don't know why it has this color."
"But I heard that it was excavated from an ancient tomb, so I still remind her, it's best not to carry it with you, it may be too dark."
"Oh?" Hearing what Xu Feng said, Lu Weiwei immediately became interested, and quickly asked, "Then, do you still understand this?"
"I must understand something." Xu Feng has been disheartened for a long time now, as if his mind is full of Tessa.
When Lu Weiwei asked such a question, he also said frankly: "Because at the Hejia Village in Gaoquling, I heard that the things sold are all obtained from tomb robbers, so of course there is a bit of sinister air."
"And Tessa seems to be very interested in this. I think she should understand something, especially the symbols and totems on the ancient jade. She seems to be particularly interested."
"Wait." Officer Wang interrupted Xu Feng's speech and asked him, "You mean, this Tessa knows about antiques, right?"
"Understood, I definitely understand." Xu Feng also nodded in response: "Just by looking at her hand gestures with antiques, I feel quite professional."
"Because this piece of ancient jade doesn't feel particularly valuable, but she only wants this, and she asked me to give it to her as a birthday present."
"What happened after that?" As soon as Xu Feng finished speaking, Gu Chen hurriedly asked, "After that, did Tessa behave abnormally?"
"Abnormal behavior?" Xu Feng was dumbfounded by the question.
How could he pay attention to these?
But Yuan Shasha on the side reminded her, "For example, where did she go after getting the ancient jade? Do you remember these things?"
"Where have you been? You have to let me think about it." Xu Feng still seems to have some impressions.
After all, this foreign woman, thinking about it now, does have too many suspicious things.
At least, Xu Feng is not a fool.
Now that the police came to the door, they must be looking for Tessa, which shows that Tessa did have problems before.
But Xu Feng couldn't ask more questions now, so he could only cooperate with the police first.
After thinking about it briefly for more than ten seconds, Xu Feng raised his head and said: "I remembered, yes, after she got this piece of ancient jade, she disappeared for a few days, saying that she was going on a trip, but her whereabouts were nowhere to be seen." tell me."
"I always feel that something is hidden from me, but then I found a metal plate in the room we rented."
"Metal plate?" Hearing this, Police Officer Wang hurriedly asked: "Are there symbols and totems on the ancient jade on those metal plates?"
"Huh? How did you know?" I felt like I hadn't even said it yet, how did the policeman know?
Officer Wang also waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about how I know, I'll show you something."
Turning his head and glancing at Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang asked, "Lu Weiwei, is that metal plate on you?"
"Oh, yes." Lu Weiwei just remembered.
"Give it to me quickly." Officer Wang said.
Lu Weiwei obeyed, took out the metal plate from her bag, and handed it to Officer Wang.
Officer Wang also used the light to shine the metal plate in front of Xu Feng and asked, "Look, is it this?"
"Yes... yes, this is it, you guys?" Looking up at the few policemen in front of him, he felt that since the police could find Tessa's metal plate, they must know where Tessa was?
Thinking of this, Xu Feng became very excited, and quickly asked a few people: "Comrade police, do you know where Tessa is?"
"If you know, please tell me? I want to see her again. We still have a lot to say."
"Don't make any noise, I don't know where she is." Feeling that Xu Feng was hopeless, Police Officer Wang couldn't help complaining.
Gu Chen also said: "Xu Feng, just like you, we also want to know where Tessa is?"
"If you can provide some valuable clues, I think we can find her quickly."
"But, what are you looking for her for?" Xu Feng looked at Gu Chen in front of him, still cautious.
After all, the sudden intervention of the police made Xu Feng feel that Tessa was in trouble?
Gu Chen also said bluntly: "Because this metal plate may be involved in a case we are investigating, so please actively cooperate with our investigation."
"That's for sure." Xu Feng is very cooperative now.
He knew that it would be good for him to cooperate with the police and find Tessa as soon as possible.
So after thinking for a few seconds, Xu Feng still expressed his thoughts: "Comrade policeman, I was thinking that Tessa disappeared for a while after getting the ancient jade I bought for him. Said to travel."
"But I always had a feeling she might be making these moulds."
"Making molds?" Yuan Shasha looked surprised.
Xu Feng said, "That's right, because I drive a car, and I often sell some motorcycle parts."
"Some parts have to be imported from abroad, which is expensive, but we also have many mold factories and parts processing factories in Jiangnan City."
"The price is less than a quarter of the imported parts, but the performance and quality are similar."
"So, I often go to these parts factories to purchase some motorcycle parts, and Tessa has also visited with me a few times."
After a pause, Xu Feng said again: "I think Tessa left for a while, and I found this metal plate from her bag on the day she came back. At that time, I felt that she should go to the mold factory. A pair of molds with symbols and totems on the ancient jade were made."
"Why do you think so?" Gu Chen stared at him and asked after recording these things.
Xu Feng confessed honestly: "Because of time, it takes time to open a pair of molds. Counting the days, it is almost the days when Tessa leaves these days."
"So I was thinking, maybe Tessa went to the mold factory and opened a mold for a metal plate."
"I also asked Tessa, what is the meaning of this metal plate? But Tessa told me, let me leave it alone, she just thinks that the symbols and totems on the ancient jade are more interesting, so she wants to make a metal plate collection , that's all."
"Is there such a thing?" Hearing Xu Feng's explanation, Gu Chen felt more and more that this Tessa might have something to do with Luo Wei and Liao Zhongkai's death.
And this metal plate with symbols and totems, Luo Wei finally sent this metal plate to the Criminal Investigation Team of Furong Branch by sending salted fish.
It can be seen that Luo Wei, a seafood wholesaler, may have had contact with Tessa, or in other words, the two knew each other at all.
What about Liao Zhongkai?He can't get away with it either.
The reason is very simple. Judging from various signs, Luo Wei was killed by Liao Zhongkai with some kind of poisonous needle.
But why did Liao Zhongkai kill Luo Wei?Maybe it also has something to do with this metal plate.
And in the end, Liao Zhongkai's body was found in a truck compartment.
But from various indications, he is more likely to commit suicide.
Everything seems to revolve around the metal plate.
But this metal plate may have come from Tessa.
But now, Tessa has disappeared, and it has been more than half a year.
But during this period of time, with the appearance of the metal plate, Luo Wei and Liao Zhongkai died one after another, which makes people not think about it. Could it be Tessa who is behind this scene?
Thinking of this, Gu Chen took a deep breath, and quickly asked Xu Feng, "Xu Feng, do you still know where those mold factories are located?"
"I know, they are all on the other side of Jiangnan Auto City. There is an auto parts industrial zone. There are many spare parts manufacturers over there, most of which are small factories."
"Are you sure Tessa's metal plate was made there?" Gu Chen was not sure, so he continued to ask Xu Feng.
Xu Feng hesitated for two seconds, but still nodded and said: "It should be, because I have taken Tessa to several factories, and the goods are cheap, the quality is good, and the profit is high."
"And I also introduced Tessa to the owners of those factories, so if Tessa wants to make this kind of metal plate, then she will definitely use the resources she knows to make molds in those factories."
"Understood." Gu Chen nodded slightly, feeling that this was a major breakthrough.
At least from Xu Fengkou, we can learn something about the origin of metal plate production.
Generally, to produce this kind of metal plate, at least a mold must be opened, and if you follow this clue, you may be able to find the source of the mold.
In this way, Tessa might be able to be found.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen continued to ask some questions about other relationships between Tessa and Xu Feng.
After sorting out the relationship between the two in detail, Gu Chen asked for the phone number and address of the mold factory, and then left Xu Feng's car dealership with Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha, and hurried to Jiangnan Auto Parts City.
……
……
Along the way, everyone bought some cakes on the side of the road for a while, took turns driving, and ate dinner in the police car.
It was already 8:50 p.m. when we arrived at Jiangnan Auto Parts City.
At this moment, many factories are off duty.
According to the address provided by Xu Feng, Gu Chen first found an old man in overalls in a factory workshop in the Auto Parts City.
Gu Chen immediately stepped forward and asked, "Master, is your boss there?"
"Boss?" The old man dropped the wrench, pointed to the second floor and said, "The boss is upstairs."
"Okay, thank you." Gu Chen didn't stop for too long, and hurried up the stairs to the second floor.
There are many office rooms on the second floor, but only one of them is lit.
Gu Chen walked through the passage, came to the door of the room, knocked on the door: "Hello."
The only tall, thin middle-aged man in the room turned his head and glanced at Gu Chen.
Seeing four uniformed policemen standing at the door, the tall and thin man looked dumbfounded, stood up immediately, and asked:
"How many...what are you doing?"
"Are you the boss here?" Gu Chen stepped forward and asked.
"Well, yes, I'm the boss here, is there... any questions?"
I always feel that I haven't been in arrears with these workers recently, right?I didn't have any conflicts with these workers. How did the police come here?
Gu Chen didn't talk nonsense, he took out the metal plate directly, and asked in front of the tall, thin middle-aged man, "Is this a mold made by you here?"
"What is this?" The middle-aged man also looked curious, and hurried forward to check.
Just by taking a look at it, it seems that there are some impressions.
But his brain didn't seem to be very bright, and he couldn't remember it for a while, so the tall, thin, middle-aged man also took the initiative to confess: "Comrade policeman, what is this thing?"
"You don't have to worry about what it is, you just need to tell me, is this metal plate made by a famous woman a few years ago?"
"This... I have to think about it." It seemed that he had encountered a problem. The man hesitated for a moment, but he still had no impression.
"Do you know Tessa?" Lu Weiwei asked him.
"Tessa?" Hearing the name, the man suddenly became familiar again, and then frowned, and asked Lu Weiwei for confirmation: "Comrade policewoman, is this Tessa you are talking about a foreign woman? She seems to be from Southeast Asia. Bar?"
"That's right, Tessa from Southeast Asia." Feeling that the boss finally knew Tessa, Lu Weiwei also breathed a sigh of relief.
The man immediately smiled and said, "I do know Tessa. I seem to have a little impression after you say that."
Glancing at the metal plate on the table, the man shook his head: "I remember that Tessa seemed to have indeed looked for me at that time, holding a piece of ancient jade, and said that she wanted me to find a way to replace the symbols and totems on the ancient jade. , open a mold to make a metal plaque."
"But her quotation was too low at the time, and I felt like I couldn't do it. As for whether I did it in the end, it was because her order was too small, and we had mass production, so I really couldn't make the time."
"That is to say, the mold of this metal plate was not made in your factory?" Officer Wang was surprised when he heard what he said.
The middle-aged man nodded silently, and said truthfully: "It may not be opened in our factory. We are such a big factory. It is not worthwhile to help her develop such a small mold."
"Our operation here is that you come to us to order a certain product. If the quantity is enough, we will open the mold for you for free."
"However, if you make a sample separately, the cost of opening the mold is quite high. When the production is idle, you can still open the mold for you."
"But once the production is busy and we can't spare extra personnel, we generally don't accept this kind of proofing order."
Glancing at the metal plate on the table again, the middle-aged man also sighed and said, "So this metal plate may not be a mold made in our factory."
"Then do you know which factory made the mold for this metal plate?" Lu Weiwei felt that it was only a little short of finding a clue for herself, and she was a little unwilling.
But the middle-aged man also looked puzzled. After thinking about it, he replied, "Why don't I ask my management, he might know."
"It would be great if that's the case." Yuan Shasha also felt that, until now, she could only try her luck.
So, the middle-aged man walked to the corridor and shouted to the outside: "Old Hu! Old Hu!"
"Ah! What's the matter?"
The middle-aged man here just called a few words, and there was a response from the workshop downstairs.
"Come up, hurry up!" The middle-aged man shouted loudly, then turned around and returned to the house, pouring tea for several people beside the water dispenser.
Not long after, the old man who was repairing the machine in the downstairs workshop with a wrench just now slowly approached the room and asked, "Boss, what's the matter?"
"Look at this." The boss pointed to the metal plate wrapped in a transparent evidence bag on the table.
The uncle stepped forward to have a look, and asked, "What is this?"
"A few years ago, Tessa came to your factory to make samples, and she seemed to want you to make molds." Lu Weiwei reminded.
The old man thought about it for a few seconds, and then he said: "Yes, yes, there is such a thing. We were too busy at that time, so we didn't take this job."
"Then do you know which factory she went to make samples later?" Yuan Shasha asked.
Grandpa Houzi scratched his cheek and said, "I remember, it seems that I introduced her to a nearby small workshop to make samples."
"Because his sample only needs to be proofed separately, it seems that there is no need to make a large product."
"So, I introduced him to a small workshop, a small workshop that specializes in making molds. I can tell you the address."
Hearing what the old man said, Gu Chen and everyone looked at each other, feeling that he had finally found a breakthrough.
Everyone was overjoyed immediately.
Lu Weiwei also hurried forward and asked, "Then tell me the address quickly."
"Okay, remember it." The old man said.
Gu Chen handed over the notebook directly, opened it to a blank page, handed him the writing pen and said, "Write down the address."
"Yeah." The uncle seems to be the manager here, the handwriting is quite beautiful, he wrote the address in two or three strokes, handed the notebook and writing pen back to Gu Chen and said:
"Comrade policeman, the address is here. The boss is bald and his surname is Liu. We all call him Baldy Liu. As for his full name, I don't know."
"It's already pretty good." After Gu Chen got the address, he breathed a sigh of relief, shook hands with the uncle and the middle-aged man and said goodbye: "Thank you for your cooperation."
"It should be."
……
The few people exchanged pleasantries briefly, and then, Gu Chen continued to lead everyone to the small workshop without stopping.
The address of the small workshop is not far from the auto parts city, and it generally belongs to external processing.
The factory usually develops its own molds for production in its spare time, but in the peak production season, it often takes a long time to develop a large number of supporting molds of different specifications.
At this time, external processing can come in handy.
Therefore, these small-scale spare parts factories are usually closely related to these small external processing workshops distributed near the auto parts city.
The two parties are also complementary.
I drove to an alley, surrounded by some old houses. It may not be long before the overall demolition will begin.
Although the road was dark, there were machines roaring in the factories on both sides, and various "clinking" movements could be heard endlessly.
Guided by the house number, Gu Chen finally arrived at the target location.
The workshops here have no signboards, only house numbers.
It is difficult for ordinary people to know what kind of accessories these workshops produce.
After Gu Chen stopped the car, he walked towards a dimly lit factory building.
At this moment, only a dim light was on at the entrance of the factory building, and a brand new white off-road vehicle was parked.
Inside the factory building, it seems that get off work has long since ended.
But in the workshop, there are still a few lights on.
Looking for a light source, Gu Chen walked slowly, only to see a bald man lying on the chair at the moment, playing a mobile game.
Seeing the light, a long and narrow figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
The bald man subconsciously glanced at Gu Chen, and his eyes couldn't help being taken aback.
"Are you Boss Liu?" Gu Chen stepped forward and asked.
The man immediately stood up and asked, "Who are you?"
"Oh, we are from the Criminal Investigation Team of the Furong Sub-bureau, and I want to know something about you."
While Lu Weiwei was speaking, she took out the metal plate and showed it in front of the bald man: "Is this metal plate a sample made by you here?"
"What is this?" Taking the metal plate from Lu Weiwei, the bald man checked it repeatedly by the light, but he was at a loss.
"Do you remember? This is a sample made by you a few years ago." Yuan Shasha also reminded.
But the bald man shook his head: "I have no impression, I have only been here not long ago, I have to ask my brother about it."
"Your brother?" Officer Wang said with a dazed expression upon hearing the words, "Aren't you Baldy Liu?"
"Baldy Liu is my brother. I'm not bald. It's just that I lost a card game with the gang next door a few days ago. So as punishment, they shaved my head bald."
The bald man also looked helpless, feeling that the police had found the wrong person.
Gu Chen also let out a long sigh, and said angrily, "So that's the case? Then where is your brother? Hurry up and ask him to come over."
"Maybe it's next door. Just wait, I'll make a call." While speaking, the bald man quickly took out his mobile phone to make a call.
Not long after, the man hung up the phone after some communication in foreign dialects, and explained to Gu Chen and the others: "My brother is next door, he will come over right away, please sit down first, and I'll pour you a glass." water."
"There's no need for water." Police officer Wang had already drank it once in the factory on the other side of the auto parts city.
I felt that if I drank any more, I would have to go to the toilet, so I refused decisively.
Not long after, I heard footsteps coming from outside the door, and a fat middle-aged bald man walked into the workshop with thoughts.
Seeing Gu Chen and the others, the bald man couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, he stepped forward nervously and asked, "Comrade police, are you looking for me?"
"Yes, I want to ask you to understand the situation. Are you going to the next door to exchange feelings?" Lu Weiwei also asked casually when she saw Liu Baldy wearing slippers.
Baldy Liu also grinned, and said helplessly, "I just bought a new car. The neighbors don't talk to me anymore, and they suddenly treated me a lot."
"I feel that I must have offended him. I have ruined the relationship between our neighbors for many years. I have to make amends to him."
"You bought a new car, are you paying for it to your neighbors?" Police Officer Wang became more and more confused as he listened to it, and felt completely unable to understand: "Where did you go wrong?"
After sitting down, Baldy Liu smiled and said, "I feel like I'm too selfish. I only care about myself when I buy a car."
"Can this be your fault?" Lu Weiwei also expressed her confusion.
"It must be my mistake." Liu Baldzi didn't seem to care what the police came to find him for, but raised his legs and couldn't help complaining:
"Look, everyone was poor at the beginning, but I suddenly became rich. Did this break the balance of being poor?"
Lu Weiwei: "???"
"Okay...it seems to be right? But it's a good thing to make money, why is it still wrong?"
"It's right to earn money. My mistake is that I earned it by myself and didn't bring anyone with me."
Liu Baldzi shook his head, picked up an empty cup on the table, and just wanted to drink tea, but saw that the teacup was empty, and immediately ordered to his younger brother: "Help me get a glass of water."
"Okay." The young bald-headed Xiao Liu took the cup and walked directly towards the water dispenser.
And Liu Baldzi said again: "Because everyone agreed to live a poor life together, and I suddenly became rich, leaving people unprepared. Whoever you change can accept it?"
"If you want to analyze it this way, well, you are indeed wrong." Feeling that Baldy Liu is quite "conscious", Officer Wang couldn't help complaining.
But Baldy Liu was not reluctant, and continued to add: "So I bought some things and went to chat with him."
"After all, you also know that this is the one who promotes Mi En and fights Mi Qiu, so let's just give him a gift and borrow some money from him by the way."
"Pfft! You still want to borrow money from him?" Yuan Shasha was dumbfounded when she heard this.
But Liu Baldzi explained: "Of course it's not a real loan. Can I send him some money? The main thing is to tease him and let him find his psychological balance."
"After all, we were all brothers and sisters before. He is narrow-minded, and he is afraid that others will live better than him."
"So I lied to him and said that my car was a second-hand car, which made him feel better. No, after a few drinks and borrowing some money from him, this guy felt much more at ease."
"Then did you borrow the money?" Gu Chen asked him.
Liu Baldzi immediately burst out laughing when he heard this: "He is a stingy guy, if he can usually borrow two hundred and three hundred from him, it all depends on luck, otherwise why can't he make a fortune? It's not a big deal in itself. "
With a faint sigh, Liu Baldzi also said meaningfully: "So some people are just jealous of other people's money, for fear that other people's life will be better than their own."
"Besides, I'm from the same village as him, don't you think it's funny?"
"Brother, keep your voice down, it's not good to hear from the neighbors." The young bald man who brought the water also passed the glass over, and reminded casually:
"Comrade police came here to ask you to understand the situation."
"Oh, that's right." After taking two sips of water, Liu Baldzi suddenly realized, and hurriedly asked Gu Chen, "Comrade police, I don't know what you are looking for me for?"
"Look at the things on the table." Gu Chen reminded.
Hearing this, Baldy Liu quickly turned his head to look, only to find that there was a metal plaque on the table.
"Do you know him?" Gu Chen asked him.
"This... this thing looks familiar." Baldy Liu held it in his hand and observed it repeatedly, and mumbled in his mouth, "Is this a mold made by us here?"
"A few years ago, a foreign woman named Tessa asked you to open the mold. You should think about it." Lu Weiwei also reminded.
When Baldy Liu heard this, he scratched the back of his head, trying to remember.
After a while, Baldy Liu slapped his head, and finally said: "Yes, I remembered, that's right, a few years ago, a foreign woman named... Tessa came to my place to make molds."
"I made this sample for her, so it can't be wrong."
Seemingly remembering what happened back then, Baldy Liu immediately expressed affirmation.
So Gu Chen hurriedly asked him: "So this thing, are you sure it's your sample?"
"Yeah, what's the matter?" Baldy Liu also looked at a loss.
Lu Weiwei hurriedly asked him: "Then, did Tessa tell you what she asked you to make this sample for?"
"This one……"
Baldy Liu, who had been talking nonsense before, suddenly lost his temper when faced with Lu Weiwei's question.
Lu Weiwei said impatiently, "What? You don't know?"
"I'm not very clear about what happened a few years ago, it seems to be... it's..."
"What is it? Tell me quickly." Yuan Shasha, who was on the side, couldn't sit still anymore.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Bald Liu.
This made Baldy Liu feel pressured.
But after calming down for a while, Baldy Liu seemed to think of something, so he flicked his fingers and said:
"By the way, I remember that she only made two samples with me, one is the sample when the mold is opened, and the other is the confirmation sample."
"At first I thought she was going to make a big product here, but she told me that she only wanted these two samples."
"Later I told her that it would be very expensive to open molds separately if you don't make big products, but she didn't seem to care, which made me wonder."
Shaking his head, Liu Baldzi also said meaningfully: "After all, I only found out after chatting with her that she is actually just an antique lover."
"Because the mold she opened was mainly to remove the symbols and totems from an ancient jade and make it into a metal plaque."
"Then did she tell you that the symbols and words on the metal plate represent any secrets?" Lu Weiwei also hurriedly asked.
"Let me think about it." Liu Baldzi tried hard to recall, and said thoughtfully: "I remember, she seemed to tell me casually, saying that symbols represent a kind of pictograph, and totems represent a certain tribe."
"Because this totem is the exclusive symbol of a certain tribe..."
After thinking about it, Liu Baldzi said again: "Oh, by the way, I was very interested in her ancient jade at that time."
"Because these symbols and totems have to be scanned into the computer first, and then the mold drawings are designed from the computer, and finally the mold is opened."
"So at the time I asked her, what is this thing? Why is Yu like this? She told me, this seems to be some kind of blood...blood..."
"Blood Qin Ancient Jade." Gu Chen reminded.
"Yes, yes, it seems to be called Xueqin Ancient Jade." Baldy Liu also snapped his fingers, confirming, "After all, I don't understand this stuff, so I just asked a few more questions."
"She told me that this ancient bloody jade is not simple, and has a great relationship with her."
"But when I wanted to know more, she stopped talking and asked me to quickly make a model and sample, and the money was not a lot."
After a pause, Liu Baldzi said again: "Also, she seems to be in a hurry, so I said at the time that I need to add money, even if it is urgent, I have to add money, but she doesn't care."
"So I stopped the other orders in my hand and made a mold for her to make this metal plate."
"Wait a minute." Hearing this, Gu Chen suddenly called to stop.
Liu Baldzi couldn't help being taken aback, and quickly asked Gu Chen, "Comrade policeman, is there a problem?"
"You said, you made a mold for her alone, but she only needs the symbols and totems on the ancient blood jade, right?"
"That's right." Baldy Liu said.
"No." Gu Chen still shook his head, picked up the metal plate in his hand and said, "This metal plate is also quite exquisitely designed. Could it be that you designed the shape and appearance of the metal plate?"
"Oh, so that's the case?" Hearing Gu Chen's words, Liu Baldzi also said cheerfully: "Actually, the appearance of the metal plate is a design drawing she brought herself."
"On this drawing, various data on the appearance of the metal plate are recorded in detail, including length, width, thickness, and so on."
"The other thing is the symbols and totems on the metal plate. How big do they need to be? Where are they located? There are blueprints for these, and this blueprint was provided by that foreign woman named... Tessa."
Taking a deep breath, Liu Baldzi also said earnestly: "I always feel that she is a bit of a woman."
"From her mouth, I can't ask too many things, and it always feels mysterious, so I have some impression of her."
"Then what happened later?" Gu Chen recorded these, and then asked: "Has this Tessa contacted anyone afterwards?"
"Well, it seems that someone came to pick her up. I remember a man came to pick her up on a battery car." Liu Baldzi said.
"Battery car?"
Hearing Liu Tuzi's remarks, Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha all looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling a little surprised.
Who's going to pick up a buggy to pick up Tessa?
You know, during this time, Tessa lied to Xu Feng that she was going on a trip, which means that what Tessa revealed to Xu Feng at that time was false news.
In fact, Tessa didn't go anywhere, she just came to Liu Baldzi's mold factory.
Not only that, the man who came to pick her up on a battery car might be the man who was with her these days.
So if you reason like this, it is obvious that the man also knows something about the metal plate, and he must know something.
Reminiscing that the metal plate in his hand was from the deceased Luo Wei.
Moreover, Luo Wei was still in bankruptcy a few years ago, so riding a battery car seemed to fit Luo Wei's status at the time.
So thinking of this, Gu Chen quickly clicked on the phone's photo album, showed Luo Wei's photo in front of Bald Liu and asked, "Is it this person?"
"Eh?" Baldy Liu hesitated for a moment, then quickly recalled.
"Look carefully." Lu Weiwei also reminded.
After thinking over and over again, Liu Baldzi finally decided: "That's right, the man who came to pick her up at that time seemed to be this person."
"Are you sure?" Hearing Liu Baldzi's words, Officer Wang suddenly became nervous.
You know, everyone has been brooding over Luo Wei's death, and they can't even find the corresponding clues.
First of all, why did Luo Wei send the mysterious metal plate with symbols and totems, together with a few bags of salted fish, to the criminal investigation team of Furong Branch?
The second is that Luo Wei was killed, most likely from Liao Zhongkai, but Liao Zhongkai seems to have committed suicide again, which is tantamount to interrupting the clues to investigate the cause of Luo Wei's death.
But if it was Luo Wei who picked up Tessa on a battery car a few years ago, it means that the two must know each other, and maybe they are old acquaintances.
And both of them may have some understanding of the symbols and totems on the ancient Xueqin jade.
As for later, in Liu Tuzi's mold factory, two samples were proofed, which are likely to be collected by Tessa and Luo Wei respectively.
"If what Luo Wei gave me was the one from his own collection, it means that there is another one, which may be in Tessa's hands, and it is because of this metal plate that Tessa asked Liao Zhongkai to chase and kill Luo Wei? "
Gu Chen was thinking...
After all, the cause of Luo Wei's death largely came from this metal plate.
But why did Liao Zhongkai commit suicide?And judging from Liu's forensic examination, Liao Zhongkai's assassination of Luo Wei on the bus may have been a new type of poison produced in a laboratory.
Forensic doctor Liu alone could not identify it.
What's more, if Liao Zhongkai was able to assassinate Luo Wei on the bus by taking advantage of his unpreparedness, it could only show that this Luo Wei and Liao Zhongkai didn't seem to know each other before.
Otherwise, when Luo Wei was followed by Liao Zhongkai, he should be able to detect it.
Everything seems to be starting to become clearer.
In Gu Chen's mind, he quickly assembled the relationship diagrams of these people.
"Luo Wei was killed by Liao Zhongkai, but Luo Wei didn't know Liao Zhongkai before, but Liao Zhongkai seems to be hired by Tessa, and Liao Zhongkai seems to have something in Tessa's hands."
"Otherwise, why did he choose to commit suicide in the face of police pursuit after assassinating Luo Wei?"
Although the technical department of the Municipal Bureau has done a detailed autopsy on Liao Zhongkai's body, it has also been determined that judging from the direction of the wound on Liao Zhongkai's wrist, the possibility of suicide is very high.
But until Tessa is found, it seems that these can only be temporary guesses.
"Comrade policeman, is there a problem?" Seeing that Gu Chen had been in a state of deep thought, Baldy Liu asked curiously.
"That is to say, Tessa opened the mold, but only made two samples, right?"
"Yes." Liu Baldzi held this metal plate, observed it repeatedly, and said earnestly: "This should be the first one, and the second one is more refined, but the first one is still rough due to various adjustments. A little bit."
After all, Baldy Liu is a professional molder, and he has already discovered the problem just by taking a look at it.
And Gu Chen could only know from Baldy Liu that Tessa was picked up by Luo Wei at that time.
But Luo Wei's time in Jiangnan City will not be very long, because Luo Wei later went to Western Europe to make a living, which was confirmed by Xu Juan, the proprietress of 857 Bar.
And Luo Wei himself told Gu Chen about it.
So overall, the reliability is quite high.
However, if this is the case, then maybe I can also find out some key dates from Xu Juan, the proprietress of the 857 Bar.
So Gu Chen asked Baldy Liu again: "Boss Liu, do you still remember the date when Tessa made samples?"

Ask for votes, with a sincere face. ╰(‵ ′)╯
(End of this chapter)
It can be seen that Xu Feng has put a lot of thought into Tessa, and the [-] blood-qin ancient jade, if you buy it, you can buy it.
The key is to go to Hejia Village in Gaoquling by bicycle. It can be seen that Tessa has completely grasped Xu Feng.
But in this way, Tessa became the key person in this link.
First of all, Xu Feng may not be very clear about the symbols and totems on the ancient Xueqin jade.
And Xu Feng was bewitched by Tessa to buy back the ancient Xueqin jade, so it stands to reason that the ancient Xueqin jade from He Shaoqing's family should still be in Tessa's hands.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen hurriedly asked him: "So that ancient jade is still in Tessa's hands, right?"
"Yes, it should be in Tessa's hands. I remember she seemed very happy after getting that ancient jade."
"Because I don't know what's so good about this ancient jade, and I don't know why it has this color."
"But I heard that it was excavated from an ancient tomb, so I still remind her, it's best not to carry it with you, it may be too dark."
"Oh?" Hearing what Xu Feng said, Lu Weiwei immediately became interested, and quickly asked, "Then, do you still understand this?"
"I must understand something." Xu Feng has been disheartened for a long time now, as if his mind is full of Tessa.
When Lu Weiwei asked such a question, he also said frankly: "Because at the Hejia Village in Gaoquling, I heard that the things sold are all obtained from tomb robbers, so of course there is a bit of sinister air."
"And Tessa seems to be very interested in this. I think she should understand something, especially the symbols and totems on the ancient jade. She seems to be particularly interested."
"Wait." Officer Wang interrupted Xu Feng's speech and asked him, "You mean, this Tessa knows about antiques, right?"
"Understood, I definitely understand." Xu Feng also nodded in response: "Just by looking at her hand gestures with antiques, I feel quite professional."
"Because this piece of ancient jade doesn't feel particularly valuable, but she only wants this, and she asked me to give it to her as a birthday present."
"What happened after that?" As soon as Xu Feng finished speaking, Gu Chen hurriedly asked, "After that, did Tessa behave abnormally?"
"Abnormal behavior?" Xu Feng was dumbfounded by the question.
How could he pay attention to these?
But Yuan Shasha on the side reminded her, "For example, where did she go after getting the ancient jade? Do you remember these things?"
"Where have you been? You have to let me think about it." Xu Feng still seems to have some impressions.
After all, this foreign woman, thinking about it now, does have too many suspicious things.
At least, Xu Feng is not a fool.
Now that the police came to the door, they must be looking for Tessa, which shows that Tessa did have problems before.
But Xu Feng couldn't ask more questions now, so he could only cooperate with the police first.
After thinking about it briefly for more than ten seconds, Xu Feng raised his head and said: "I remembered, yes, after she got this piece of ancient jade, she disappeared for a few days, saying that she was going on a trip, but her whereabouts were nowhere to be seen." tell me."
"I always feel that something is hidden from me, but then I found a metal plate in the room we rented."
"Metal plate?" Hearing this, Police Officer Wang hurriedly asked: "Are there symbols and totems on the ancient jade on those metal plates?"
"Huh? How did you know?" I felt like I hadn't even said it yet, how did the policeman know?
Officer Wang also waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about how I know, I'll show you something."
Turning his head and glancing at Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang asked, "Lu Weiwei, is that metal plate on you?"
"Oh, yes." Lu Weiwei just remembered.
"Give it to me quickly." Officer Wang said.
Lu Weiwei obeyed, took out the metal plate from her bag, and handed it to Officer Wang.
Officer Wang also used the light to shine the metal plate in front of Xu Feng and asked, "Look, is it this?"
"Yes... yes, this is it, you guys?" Looking up at the few policemen in front of him, he felt that since the police could find Tessa's metal plate, they must know where Tessa was?
Thinking of this, Xu Feng became very excited, and quickly asked a few people: "Comrade police, do you know where Tessa is?"
"If you know, please tell me? I want to see her again. We still have a lot to say."
"Don't make any noise, I don't know where she is." Feeling that Xu Feng was hopeless, Police Officer Wang couldn't help complaining.
Gu Chen also said: "Xu Feng, just like you, we also want to know where Tessa is?"
"If you can provide some valuable clues, I think we can find her quickly."
"But, what are you looking for her for?" Xu Feng looked at Gu Chen in front of him, still cautious.
After all, the sudden intervention of the police made Xu Feng feel that Tessa was in trouble?
Gu Chen also said bluntly: "Because this metal plate may be involved in a case we are investigating, so please actively cooperate with our investigation."
"That's for sure." Xu Feng is very cooperative now.
He knew that it would be good for him to cooperate with the police and find Tessa as soon as possible.
So after thinking for a few seconds, Xu Feng still expressed his thoughts: "Comrade policeman, I was thinking that Tessa disappeared for a while after getting the ancient jade I bought for him. Said to travel."
"But I always had a feeling she might be making these moulds."
"Making molds?" Yuan Shasha looked surprised.
Xu Feng said, "That's right, because I drive a car, and I often sell some motorcycle parts."
"Some parts have to be imported from abroad, which is expensive, but we also have many mold factories and parts processing factories in Jiangnan City."
"The price is less than a quarter of the imported parts, but the performance and quality are similar."
"So, I often go to these parts factories to purchase some motorcycle parts, and Tessa has also visited with me a few times."
After a pause, Xu Feng said again: "I think Tessa left for a while, and I found this metal plate from her bag on the day she came back. At that time, I felt that she should go to the mold factory. A pair of molds with symbols and totems on the ancient jade were made."
"Why do you think so?" Gu Chen stared at him and asked after recording these things.
Xu Feng confessed honestly: "Because of time, it takes time to open a pair of molds. Counting the days, it is almost the days when Tessa leaves these days."
"So I was thinking, maybe Tessa went to the mold factory and opened a mold for a metal plate."
"I also asked Tessa, what is the meaning of this metal plate? But Tessa told me, let me leave it alone, she just thinks that the symbols and totems on the ancient jade are more interesting, so she wants to make a metal plate collection , that's all."
"Is there such a thing?" Hearing Xu Feng's explanation, Gu Chen felt more and more that this Tessa might have something to do with Luo Wei and Liao Zhongkai's death.
And this metal plate with symbols and totems, Luo Wei finally sent this metal plate to the Criminal Investigation Team of Furong Branch by sending salted fish.
It can be seen that Luo Wei, a seafood wholesaler, may have had contact with Tessa, or in other words, the two knew each other at all.
What about Liao Zhongkai?He can't get away with it either.
The reason is very simple. Judging from various signs, Luo Wei was killed by Liao Zhongkai with some kind of poisonous needle.
But why did Liao Zhongkai kill Luo Wei?Maybe it also has something to do with this metal plate.
And in the end, Liao Zhongkai's body was found in a truck compartment.
But from various indications, he is more likely to commit suicide.
Everything seems to revolve around the metal plate.
But this metal plate may have come from Tessa.
But now, Tessa has disappeared, and it has been more than half a year.
But during this period of time, with the appearance of the metal plate, Luo Wei and Liao Zhongkai died one after another, which makes people not think about it. Could it be Tessa who is behind this scene?
Thinking of this, Gu Chen took a deep breath, and quickly asked Xu Feng, "Xu Feng, do you still know where those mold factories are located?"
"I know, they are all on the other side of Jiangnan Auto City. There is an auto parts industrial zone. There are many spare parts manufacturers over there, most of which are small factories."
"Are you sure Tessa's metal plate was made there?" Gu Chen was not sure, so he continued to ask Xu Feng.
Xu Feng hesitated for two seconds, but still nodded and said: "It should be, because I have taken Tessa to several factories, and the goods are cheap, the quality is good, and the profit is high."
"And I also introduced Tessa to the owners of those factories, so if Tessa wants to make this kind of metal plate, then she will definitely use the resources she knows to make molds in those factories."
"Understood." Gu Chen nodded slightly, feeling that this was a major breakthrough.
At least from Xu Fengkou, we can learn something about the origin of metal plate production.
Generally, to produce this kind of metal plate, at least a mold must be opened, and if you follow this clue, you may be able to find the source of the mold.
In this way, Tessa might be able to be found.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen continued to ask some questions about other relationships between Tessa and Xu Feng.
After sorting out the relationship between the two in detail, Gu Chen asked for the phone number and address of the mold factory, and then left Xu Feng's car dealership with Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha, and hurried to Jiangnan Auto Parts City.
……
……
Along the way, everyone bought some cakes on the side of the road for a while, took turns driving, and ate dinner in the police car.
It was already 8:50 p.m. when we arrived at Jiangnan Auto Parts City.
At this moment, many factories are off duty.
According to the address provided by Xu Feng, Gu Chen first found an old man in overalls in a factory workshop in the Auto Parts City.
Gu Chen immediately stepped forward and asked, "Master, is your boss there?"
"Boss?" The old man dropped the wrench, pointed to the second floor and said, "The boss is upstairs."
"Okay, thank you." Gu Chen didn't stop for too long, and hurried up the stairs to the second floor.
There are many office rooms on the second floor, but only one of them is lit.
Gu Chen walked through the passage, came to the door of the room, knocked on the door: "Hello."
The only tall, thin middle-aged man in the room turned his head and glanced at Gu Chen.
Seeing four uniformed policemen standing at the door, the tall and thin man looked dumbfounded, stood up immediately, and asked:
"How many...what are you doing?"
"Are you the boss here?" Gu Chen stepped forward and asked.
"Well, yes, I'm the boss here, is there... any questions?"
I always feel that I haven't been in arrears with these workers recently, right?I didn't have any conflicts with these workers. How did the police come here?
Gu Chen didn't talk nonsense, he took out the metal plate directly, and asked in front of the tall, thin middle-aged man, "Is this a mold made by you here?"
"What is this?" The middle-aged man also looked curious, and hurried forward to check.
Just by taking a look at it, it seems that there are some impressions.
But his brain didn't seem to be very bright, and he couldn't remember it for a while, so the tall, thin, middle-aged man also took the initiative to confess: "Comrade policeman, what is this thing?"
"You don't have to worry about what it is, you just need to tell me, is this metal plate made by a famous woman a few years ago?"
"This... I have to think about it." It seemed that he had encountered a problem. The man hesitated for a moment, but he still had no impression.
"Do you know Tessa?" Lu Weiwei asked him.
"Tessa?" Hearing the name, the man suddenly became familiar again, and then frowned, and asked Lu Weiwei for confirmation: "Comrade policewoman, is this Tessa you are talking about a foreign woman? She seems to be from Southeast Asia. Bar?"
"That's right, Tessa from Southeast Asia." Feeling that the boss finally knew Tessa, Lu Weiwei also breathed a sigh of relief.
The man immediately smiled and said, "I do know Tessa. I seem to have a little impression after you say that."
Glancing at the metal plate on the table, the man shook his head: "I remember that Tessa seemed to have indeed looked for me at that time, holding a piece of ancient jade, and said that she wanted me to find a way to replace the symbols and totems on the ancient jade. , open a mold to make a metal plaque."
"But her quotation was too low at the time, and I felt like I couldn't do it. As for whether I did it in the end, it was because her order was too small, and we had mass production, so I really couldn't make the time."
"That is to say, the mold of this metal plate was not made in your factory?" Officer Wang was surprised when he heard what he said.
The middle-aged man nodded silently, and said truthfully: "It may not be opened in our factory. We are such a big factory. It is not worthwhile to help her develop such a small mold."
"Our operation here is that you come to us to order a certain product. If the quantity is enough, we will open the mold for you for free."
"However, if you make a sample separately, the cost of opening the mold is quite high. When the production is idle, you can still open the mold for you."
"But once the production is busy and we can't spare extra personnel, we generally don't accept this kind of proofing order."
Glancing at the metal plate on the table again, the middle-aged man also sighed and said, "So this metal plate may not be a mold made in our factory."
"Then do you know which factory made the mold for this metal plate?" Lu Weiwei felt that it was only a little short of finding a clue for herself, and she was a little unwilling.
But the middle-aged man also looked puzzled. After thinking about it, he replied, "Why don't I ask my management, he might know."
"It would be great if that's the case." Yuan Shasha also felt that, until now, she could only try her luck.
So, the middle-aged man walked to the corridor and shouted to the outside: "Old Hu! Old Hu!"
"Ah! What's the matter?"
The middle-aged man here just called a few words, and there was a response from the workshop downstairs.
"Come up, hurry up!" The middle-aged man shouted loudly, then turned around and returned to the house, pouring tea for several people beside the water dispenser.
Not long after, the old man who was repairing the machine in the downstairs workshop with a wrench just now slowly approached the room and asked, "Boss, what's the matter?"
"Look at this." The boss pointed to the metal plate wrapped in a transparent evidence bag on the table.
The uncle stepped forward to have a look, and asked, "What is this?"
"A few years ago, Tessa came to your factory to make samples, and she seemed to want you to make molds." Lu Weiwei reminded.
The old man thought about it for a few seconds, and then he said: "Yes, yes, there is such a thing. We were too busy at that time, so we didn't take this job."
"Then do you know which factory she went to make samples later?" Yuan Shasha asked.
Grandpa Houzi scratched his cheek and said, "I remember, it seems that I introduced her to a nearby small workshop to make samples."
"Because his sample only needs to be proofed separately, it seems that there is no need to make a large product."
"So, I introduced him to a small workshop, a small workshop that specializes in making molds. I can tell you the address."
Hearing what the old man said, Gu Chen and everyone looked at each other, feeling that he had finally found a breakthrough.
Everyone was overjoyed immediately.
Lu Weiwei also hurried forward and asked, "Then tell me the address quickly."
"Okay, remember it." The old man said.
Gu Chen handed over the notebook directly, opened it to a blank page, handed him the writing pen and said, "Write down the address."
"Yeah." The uncle seems to be the manager here, the handwriting is quite beautiful, he wrote the address in two or three strokes, handed the notebook and writing pen back to Gu Chen and said:
"Comrade policeman, the address is here. The boss is bald and his surname is Liu. We all call him Baldy Liu. As for his full name, I don't know."
"It's already pretty good." After Gu Chen got the address, he breathed a sigh of relief, shook hands with the uncle and the middle-aged man and said goodbye: "Thank you for your cooperation."
"It should be."
……
The few people exchanged pleasantries briefly, and then, Gu Chen continued to lead everyone to the small workshop without stopping.
The address of the small workshop is not far from the auto parts city, and it generally belongs to external processing.
The factory usually develops its own molds for production in its spare time, but in the peak production season, it often takes a long time to develop a large number of supporting molds of different specifications.
At this time, external processing can come in handy.
Therefore, these small-scale spare parts factories are usually closely related to these small external processing workshops distributed near the auto parts city.
The two parties are also complementary.
I drove to an alley, surrounded by some old houses. It may not be long before the overall demolition will begin.
Although the road was dark, there were machines roaring in the factories on both sides, and various "clinking" movements could be heard endlessly.
Guided by the house number, Gu Chen finally arrived at the target location.
The workshops here have no signboards, only house numbers.
It is difficult for ordinary people to know what kind of accessories these workshops produce.
After Gu Chen stopped the car, he walked towards a dimly lit factory building.
At this moment, only a dim light was on at the entrance of the factory building, and a brand new white off-road vehicle was parked.
Inside the factory building, it seems that get off work has long since ended.
But in the workshop, there are still a few lights on.
Looking for a light source, Gu Chen walked slowly, only to see a bald man lying on the chair at the moment, playing a mobile game.
Seeing the light, a long and narrow figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
The bald man subconsciously glanced at Gu Chen, and his eyes couldn't help being taken aback.
"Are you Boss Liu?" Gu Chen stepped forward and asked.
The man immediately stood up and asked, "Who are you?"
"Oh, we are from the Criminal Investigation Team of the Furong Sub-bureau, and I want to know something about you."
While Lu Weiwei was speaking, she took out the metal plate and showed it in front of the bald man: "Is this metal plate a sample made by you here?"
"What is this?" Taking the metal plate from Lu Weiwei, the bald man checked it repeatedly by the light, but he was at a loss.
"Do you remember? This is a sample made by you a few years ago." Yuan Shasha also reminded.
But the bald man shook his head: "I have no impression, I have only been here not long ago, I have to ask my brother about it."
"Your brother?" Officer Wang said with a dazed expression upon hearing the words, "Aren't you Baldy Liu?"
"Baldy Liu is my brother. I'm not bald. It's just that I lost a card game with the gang next door a few days ago. So as punishment, they shaved my head bald."
The bald man also looked helpless, feeling that the police had found the wrong person.
Gu Chen also let out a long sigh, and said angrily, "So that's the case? Then where is your brother? Hurry up and ask him to come over."
"Maybe it's next door. Just wait, I'll make a call." While speaking, the bald man quickly took out his mobile phone to make a call.
Not long after, the man hung up the phone after some communication in foreign dialects, and explained to Gu Chen and the others: "My brother is next door, he will come over right away, please sit down first, and I'll pour you a glass." water."
"There's no need for water." Police officer Wang had already drank it once in the factory on the other side of the auto parts city.
I felt that if I drank any more, I would have to go to the toilet, so I refused decisively.
Not long after, I heard footsteps coming from outside the door, and a fat middle-aged bald man walked into the workshop with thoughts.
Seeing Gu Chen and the others, the bald man couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, he stepped forward nervously and asked, "Comrade police, are you looking for me?"
"Yes, I want to ask you to understand the situation. Are you going to the next door to exchange feelings?" Lu Weiwei also asked casually when she saw Liu Baldy wearing slippers.
Baldy Liu also grinned, and said helplessly, "I just bought a new car. The neighbors don't talk to me anymore, and they suddenly treated me a lot."
"I feel that I must have offended him. I have ruined the relationship between our neighbors for many years. I have to make amends to him."
"You bought a new car, are you paying for it to your neighbors?" Police Officer Wang became more and more confused as he listened to it, and felt completely unable to understand: "Where did you go wrong?"
After sitting down, Baldy Liu smiled and said, "I feel like I'm too selfish. I only care about myself when I buy a car."
"Can this be your fault?" Lu Weiwei also expressed her confusion.
"It must be my mistake." Liu Baldzi didn't seem to care what the police came to find him for, but raised his legs and couldn't help complaining:
"Look, everyone was poor at the beginning, but I suddenly became rich. Did this break the balance of being poor?"
Lu Weiwei: "???"
"Okay...it seems to be right? But it's a good thing to make money, why is it still wrong?"
"It's right to earn money. My mistake is that I earned it by myself and didn't bring anyone with me."
Liu Baldzi shook his head, picked up an empty cup on the table, and just wanted to drink tea, but saw that the teacup was empty, and immediately ordered to his younger brother: "Help me get a glass of water."
"Okay." The young bald-headed Xiao Liu took the cup and walked directly towards the water dispenser.
And Liu Baldzi said again: "Because everyone agreed to live a poor life together, and I suddenly became rich, leaving people unprepared. Whoever you change can accept it?"
"If you want to analyze it this way, well, you are indeed wrong." Feeling that Baldy Liu is quite "conscious", Officer Wang couldn't help complaining.
But Baldy Liu was not reluctant, and continued to add: "So I bought some things and went to chat with him."
"After all, you also know that this is the one who promotes Mi En and fights Mi Qiu, so let's just give him a gift and borrow some money from him by the way."
"Pfft! You still want to borrow money from him?" Yuan Shasha was dumbfounded when she heard this.
But Liu Baldzi explained: "Of course it's not a real loan. Can I send him some money? The main thing is to tease him and let him find his psychological balance."
"After all, we were all brothers and sisters before. He is narrow-minded, and he is afraid that others will live better than him."
"So I lied to him and said that my car was a second-hand car, which made him feel better. No, after a few drinks and borrowing some money from him, this guy felt much more at ease."
"Then did you borrow the money?" Gu Chen asked him.
Liu Baldzi immediately burst out laughing when he heard this: "He is a stingy guy, if he can usually borrow two hundred and three hundred from him, it all depends on luck, otherwise why can't he make a fortune? It's not a big deal in itself. "
With a faint sigh, Liu Baldzi also said meaningfully: "So some people are just jealous of other people's money, for fear that other people's life will be better than their own."
"Besides, I'm from the same village as him, don't you think it's funny?"
"Brother, keep your voice down, it's not good to hear from the neighbors." The young bald man who brought the water also passed the glass over, and reminded casually:
"Comrade police came here to ask you to understand the situation."
"Oh, that's right." After taking two sips of water, Liu Baldzi suddenly realized, and hurriedly asked Gu Chen, "Comrade police, I don't know what you are looking for me for?"
"Look at the things on the table." Gu Chen reminded.
Hearing this, Baldy Liu quickly turned his head to look, only to find that there was a metal plaque on the table.
"Do you know him?" Gu Chen asked him.
"This... this thing looks familiar." Baldy Liu held it in his hand and observed it repeatedly, and mumbled in his mouth, "Is this a mold made by us here?"
"A few years ago, a foreign woman named Tessa asked you to open the mold. You should think about it." Lu Weiwei also reminded.
When Baldy Liu heard this, he scratched the back of his head, trying to remember.
After a while, Baldy Liu slapped his head, and finally said: "Yes, I remembered, that's right, a few years ago, a foreign woman named... Tessa came to my place to make molds."
"I made this sample for her, so it can't be wrong."
Seemingly remembering what happened back then, Baldy Liu immediately expressed affirmation.
So Gu Chen hurriedly asked him: "So this thing, are you sure it's your sample?"
"Yeah, what's the matter?" Baldy Liu also looked at a loss.
Lu Weiwei hurriedly asked him: "Then, did Tessa tell you what she asked you to make this sample for?"
"This one……"
Baldy Liu, who had been talking nonsense before, suddenly lost his temper when faced with Lu Weiwei's question.
Lu Weiwei said impatiently, "What? You don't know?"
"I'm not very clear about what happened a few years ago, it seems to be... it's..."
"What is it? Tell me quickly." Yuan Shasha, who was on the side, couldn't sit still anymore.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Bald Liu.
This made Baldy Liu feel pressured.
But after calming down for a while, Baldy Liu seemed to think of something, so he flicked his fingers and said:
"By the way, I remember that she only made two samples with me, one is the sample when the mold is opened, and the other is the confirmation sample."
"At first I thought she was going to make a big product here, but she told me that she only wanted these two samples."
"Later I told her that it would be very expensive to open molds separately if you don't make big products, but she didn't seem to care, which made me wonder."
Shaking his head, Liu Baldzi also said meaningfully: "After all, I only found out after chatting with her that she is actually just an antique lover."
"Because the mold she opened was mainly to remove the symbols and totems from an ancient jade and make it into a metal plaque."
"Then did she tell you that the symbols and words on the metal plate represent any secrets?" Lu Weiwei also hurriedly asked.
"Let me think about it." Liu Baldzi tried hard to recall, and said thoughtfully: "I remember, she seemed to tell me casually, saying that symbols represent a kind of pictograph, and totems represent a certain tribe."
"Because this totem is the exclusive symbol of a certain tribe..."
After thinking about it, Liu Baldzi said again: "Oh, by the way, I was very interested in her ancient jade at that time."
"Because these symbols and totems have to be scanned into the computer first, and then the mold drawings are designed from the computer, and finally the mold is opened."
"So at the time I asked her, what is this thing? Why is Yu like this? She told me, this seems to be some kind of blood...blood..."
"Blood Qin Ancient Jade." Gu Chen reminded.
"Yes, yes, it seems to be called Xueqin Ancient Jade." Baldy Liu also snapped his fingers, confirming, "After all, I don't understand this stuff, so I just asked a few more questions."
"She told me that this ancient bloody jade is not simple, and has a great relationship with her."
"But when I wanted to know more, she stopped talking and asked me to quickly make a model and sample, and the money was not a lot."
After a pause, Liu Baldzi said again: "Also, she seems to be in a hurry, so I said at the time that I need to add money, even if it is urgent, I have to add money, but she doesn't care."
"So I stopped the other orders in my hand and made a mold for her to make this metal plate."
"Wait a minute." Hearing this, Gu Chen suddenly called to stop.
Liu Baldzi couldn't help being taken aback, and quickly asked Gu Chen, "Comrade policeman, is there a problem?"
"You said, you made a mold for her alone, but she only needs the symbols and totems on the ancient blood jade, right?"
"That's right." Baldy Liu said.
"No." Gu Chen still shook his head, picked up the metal plate in his hand and said, "This metal plate is also quite exquisitely designed. Could it be that you designed the shape and appearance of the metal plate?"
"Oh, so that's the case?" Hearing Gu Chen's words, Liu Baldzi also said cheerfully: "Actually, the appearance of the metal plate is a design drawing she brought herself."
"On this drawing, various data on the appearance of the metal plate are recorded in detail, including length, width, thickness, and so on."
"The other thing is the symbols and totems on the metal plate. How big do they need to be? Where are they located? There are blueprints for these, and this blueprint was provided by that foreign woman named... Tessa."
Taking a deep breath, Liu Baldzi also said earnestly: "I always feel that she is a bit of a woman."
"From her mouth, I can't ask too many things, and it always feels mysterious, so I have some impression of her."
"Then what happened later?" Gu Chen recorded these, and then asked: "Has this Tessa contacted anyone afterwards?"
"Well, it seems that someone came to pick her up. I remember a man came to pick her up on a battery car." Liu Baldzi said.
"Battery car?"
Hearing Liu Tuzi's remarks, Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha all looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling a little surprised.
Who's going to pick up a buggy to pick up Tessa?
You know, during this time, Tessa lied to Xu Feng that she was going on a trip, which means that what Tessa revealed to Xu Feng at that time was false news.
In fact, Tessa didn't go anywhere, she just came to Liu Baldzi's mold factory.
Not only that, the man who came to pick her up on a battery car might be the man who was with her these days.
So if you reason like this, it is obvious that the man also knows something about the metal plate, and he must know something.
Reminiscing that the metal plate in his hand was from the deceased Luo Wei.
Moreover, Luo Wei was still in bankruptcy a few years ago, so riding a battery car seemed to fit Luo Wei's status at the time.
So thinking of this, Gu Chen quickly clicked on the phone's photo album, showed Luo Wei's photo in front of Bald Liu and asked, "Is it this person?"
"Eh?" Baldy Liu hesitated for a moment, then quickly recalled.
"Look carefully." Lu Weiwei also reminded.
After thinking over and over again, Liu Baldzi finally decided: "That's right, the man who came to pick her up at that time seemed to be this person."
"Are you sure?" Hearing Liu Baldzi's words, Officer Wang suddenly became nervous.
You know, everyone has been brooding over Luo Wei's death, and they can't even find the corresponding clues.
First of all, why did Luo Wei send the mysterious metal plate with symbols and totems, together with a few bags of salted fish, to the criminal investigation team of Furong Branch?
The second is that Luo Wei was killed, most likely from Liao Zhongkai, but Liao Zhongkai seems to have committed suicide again, which is tantamount to interrupting the clues to investigate the cause of Luo Wei's death.
But if it was Luo Wei who picked up Tessa on a battery car a few years ago, it means that the two must know each other, and maybe they are old acquaintances.
And both of them may have some understanding of the symbols and totems on the ancient Xueqin jade.
As for later, in Liu Tuzi's mold factory, two samples were proofed, which are likely to be collected by Tessa and Luo Wei respectively.
"If what Luo Wei gave me was the one from his own collection, it means that there is another one, which may be in Tessa's hands, and it is because of this metal plate that Tessa asked Liao Zhongkai to chase and kill Luo Wei? "
Gu Chen was thinking...
After all, the cause of Luo Wei's death largely came from this metal plate.
But why did Liao Zhongkai commit suicide?And judging from Liu's forensic examination, Liao Zhongkai's assassination of Luo Wei on the bus may have been a new type of poison produced in a laboratory.
Forensic doctor Liu alone could not identify it.
What's more, if Liao Zhongkai was able to assassinate Luo Wei on the bus by taking advantage of his unpreparedness, it could only show that this Luo Wei and Liao Zhongkai didn't seem to know each other before.
Otherwise, when Luo Wei was followed by Liao Zhongkai, he should be able to detect it.
Everything seems to be starting to become clearer.
In Gu Chen's mind, he quickly assembled the relationship diagrams of these people.
"Luo Wei was killed by Liao Zhongkai, but Luo Wei didn't know Liao Zhongkai before, but Liao Zhongkai seems to be hired by Tessa, and Liao Zhongkai seems to have something in Tessa's hands."
"Otherwise, why did he choose to commit suicide in the face of police pursuit after assassinating Luo Wei?"
Although the technical department of the Municipal Bureau has done a detailed autopsy on Liao Zhongkai's body, it has also been determined that judging from the direction of the wound on Liao Zhongkai's wrist, the possibility of suicide is very high.
But until Tessa is found, it seems that these can only be temporary guesses.
"Comrade policeman, is there a problem?" Seeing that Gu Chen had been in a state of deep thought, Baldy Liu asked curiously.
"That is to say, Tessa opened the mold, but only made two samples, right?"
"Yes." Liu Baldzi held this metal plate, observed it repeatedly, and said earnestly: "This should be the first one, and the second one is more refined, but the first one is still rough due to various adjustments. A little bit."
After all, Baldy Liu is a professional molder, and he has already discovered the problem just by taking a look at it.
And Gu Chen could only know from Baldy Liu that Tessa was picked up by Luo Wei at that time.
But Luo Wei's time in Jiangnan City will not be very long, because Luo Wei later went to Western Europe to make a living, which was confirmed by Xu Juan, the proprietress of 857 Bar.
And Luo Wei himself told Gu Chen about it.
So overall, the reliability is quite high.
However, if this is the case, then maybe I can also find out some key dates from Xu Juan, the proprietress of the 857 Bar.
So Gu Chen asked Baldy Liu again: "Boss Liu, do you still remember the date when Tessa made samples?"
……
Ask for votes, with a sincere face. ╰(‵ ′)╯
