I am a super cop

Chapter 2687 Experienced Techniques

Everyone was also impressed by the wisdom of Xu Yaxuan's father, Xu Tianxia. Normal people would rarely hide things under such an altar.

However, after observing the surrounding environment, it is not difficult to see that the area under this altar is indeed suitable for hiding items.

Under the conditions at that time, it was understandable to bury all the accompanying collections underneath.

This may be the best solution.

After Gu Chen walked back and forth in front of the altar for a few times, he said, "Tools."

Several young police officers immediately brought the tools they had brought with them.

Officer Wang reminded, "Give me a shovel."

A police officer handed him the shovel.

Officer Wang started digging carefully under the altar without saying a word.

Since this type of altar is relatively old, the platform is made of wood.

After years of wind and sun, many of the wood has already rotted and looks like it will collapse at any time.

But even so, we still have to dig.

Officer Wang was very cautious, fearing that the wooden structure platform above his head would suddenly collapse.

The excavated soil is then carefully removed.

Soon, a large area was dug out.

But it doesn't look like buried items at all.

Officer Wang was a little confused. He turned his head to look at Xu Yaxuan behind him and asked, "Are you sure this is the place? Are you sure it's not a mistake?"

Xu Yaxuan seemed to be confused by the question as well. He was stunned for a few seconds before he walked over and observed carefully.

After a brief recollection, Xu Yaxuan nodded and confirmed: "Yes, the map my father drew originally was marked below this altar, there is no mistake."

"Okay, I'll believe you this time." Seeing that Xu Yaxuan said so, Officer Wang could only bite the bullet and continue digging.

Seeing that everyone else was standing there, Officer Wang also reminded them: "What are you guys doing standing here with tools in your hands? Why don't you come and help?"

"Oh oh." After hearing what Officer Wang said, the police officers who were standing there watching the excitement picked up the tools in their hands and began to join in the excavation work.

Gu Chen stood behind the crowd, observing the excavation situation carefully.

Soon, Officer Wang discovered something strange. There seemed to be some objects hidden in the soil.

So Officer Wang quickly called for a stop: "Everyone, stop for a moment."

"Senior Brother Wang, have you found anything?" Gu Chen hurried over and asked.

"Hmm." Officer Wang threw the shovel aside and dug some ground with his hands. Suddenly, he found a rotten sack.

At this moment, the sack was already in tatters, but it seemed to still contain a lot of things.

Since these things may be ancient cultural relics, no one dares to destroy them at will. They can only use their gloved hands to dig out the soil bit by bit.

Seeing this, other police officers also joined in.

Not long after, Officer Wang came out holding a strange vessel, and everyone immediately gathered around.

"Is this really a burial object?" Lu Weiwei couldn't help but sigh after taking a look.

Yuan Shasha also quickly agreed: "This thing doesn't seem to be very old, it feels like only about 100 or 200 years old."

"A cultural relic is still one or two hundred years old," said Officer Wang.

"Then don't stop, take a quick look and see how much is inside?" Lu Weiwei was also very excited now.

You know, when everyone came here, they found that the tombs were basically hollowed out.

It can be seen that all the burial objects at that time are now buried here.

Since Xu Yaxuan himself is not sure how much is inside, we can only judge after it is excavated.

After several hours of intense and orderly excavation, everyone, like archaeologists, placed the collectibles one by one on the cloth blanket that had been prepared in advance.

And all excavated items are numbered and recorded.

Gu Chen looked at the items in front of him one by one, and was secretly glad that these things had not been damaged and were basically preserved intact.

  "Gu Chen, I think we have almost finished digging inside." Officer Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand and reminded him:

"Judging from those tombs, the number of accompanying collections we excavated this time should be able to match those tombs."

  Turning his head to look at the large and small items on the ground, Officer Wang also guessed and said:

"There are at least hundreds of these items on the ground. It feels like we are doing an archaeological excavation this time."

"I'll ask the bureau to help contact the cultural relics protection unit and have them take over these items," said Gu Chen.

"Yes." Officer Wang nodded silently and said:

"The most inappropriate thing we did this time was not bringing a few archaeological experts with us."

"We definitely can't transport these things safely with only the stuff we have."

"If the item is damaged during transportation, it will not be worth it."

"Then let's contact the cultural relics protection department based on the number and size of the items here," said Lu Weiwei.

Officer Wang nodded silently. "I think it's okay. Lu Weiwei, I'll leave this matter to you. First, inform Director Zhao, and then ask Director Zhao to help contact someone to come over."

“Remember to ask the people at the cultural relics protection unit to bring some boxes that can be safely transported to prevent these items from being damaged.”

"No problem." Seeing Officer Wang's instructions, Lu Weiwei did not hesitate and immediately started contacting Zhao Guozhi via satellite phone.

On this side, Lu Weiwei was busy contacting for support, while on the other side, Gu Chen came to Xu Yaxuan's side.

At this moment, Xu Yaxuan was sitting by the river near the village, watching the busy situation at the scene, and he seemed rather lonely.

"What's wrong?" Gu Chen walked over and asked.

Seeing that the person coming was Gu Chen, Xu Yaxuan quickly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand and said with a sob:

"Nothing, I just miss my dad. These things were originally left by him to give him capital to spend his old age in peace. They are also capital for me to have enough food and drink for the rest of my life."

"Now I am handing these things over to you. I actually have no complaints. After all, these things did not originally belong to me."

"It's just that these things have a lot to do with my dad, and I suddenly feel a little sad."

Speaking of this, Xu Yaxuan couldn't help wiping away tears, as if memories were flooding his mind.

Her father's footprints were indeed left here, but now that her father has passed away, Xu Yaxuan seems a little lonely.

After all, she grew up in a single-parent family and lacked family care since childhood. It was her father Xu Tianxia who raised her.

Now that Xu Tianxia has passed away, Xu Yaxuan has become a lonely man. Seeing the things his father left for him being taken away by the police, he feels somewhat unwilling.

  From this point of view, Gu Chen can understand, but still comforted:

"At least you are safe now. You said it yourself. These collections are like magic. They will devour everyone's basic humanity and magnify people's desires." "If these things fall into the hands of greedy people, they will become very scary. At least these things have caused too many people to lose their lives."

"So, handing these things over is the best way. You did the right thing."

"Thank you." Seeing Gu Chen comforting him in this way, Xu Yaxuan's uncomfortable mood seemed to improve a little.

After choking up for a few times, he continued, "I feel pretty good that I'm still alive. I originally thought that after graduation, I would have more time."

"More often, I can spend time with my father and go to many places with him."

"But he suddenly fell from the building, and I felt very sad."

  "Xu Yaxuan." Seeing Xu Yaxuan say this, Gu Chen also said solemnly:

"Tell me honestly, was your father's death an accident?"

"I... I don't know." Facing Gu Chen's questioning, Xu Yaxuan chose to shake his head and deny:

"I don't know much about my father's situation, but before he died, he told me about these burial objects because he wanted me to have the capital to live on in the second half of my life."

"I know he had good intentions, but I really don't know why he fell from the building."

At the end of his speech, Xu Yaxuan also shook his head and sighed.

So Gu Chen asked again: "What did the guide who kidnapped you say to you at that time?"

"He told me to hand over these things or he would kill me," said Xu Yaxuan.

"Can you repeat what his girlfriend said to you at that time?" Gu Chen asked again.

"Uh……"

Xu Yaxuan hesitated for a moment, as if he didn't know how to start.

Seeing this, Gu Chen continued, "In fact, we have investigated and found that the guide does not have a girlfriend at all, and his life is rather simple."

"In addition, we conducted a comprehensive investigation based on his previous activities and social life and found that he was an avid outdoor enthusiast."

"So, most of his friends are experienced hikers."

"Also, his social life is all about outdoor hiking. He doesn't have a girlfriend at all."

After a pause and a brief observation of Xu Yaxuan's expression, Gu Chen continued:

"So, you said that he and his girlfriend kidnapped you together, and it was his girlfriend who came to pick you up on a motorcycle. I am very puzzled."

"What is the relationship between that woman and the guide? And why did she ride a motorcycle to this area to pick you up?"

"Why haven't we found any trace of that woman after our careful investigation?"

After Gu Chen finished speaking, he stared at Xu Yaxuan with sharp eyes.

  Xu Yaxuan felt a little guilty at the moment, and instinctively avoided Gu Chen's gaze, and shook his head and said:

"I don't know, maybe one of his close friends?"

"I said, he doesn't have this kind of friends, especially female friends." Gu Chen interrupted Xu Yaxuan again.

In other words, it denied Xu Yaxuan's statement.

The purpose is to put pressure on Xu Yaxuan.

Xu Yaxuan is young after all, and he seemed a little nervous after hearing what Gu Chen said.

But he still shook his head and said, "Then I don't know, but it must be one of his friends."

"Is it you?" As soon as Xu Yaxuan finished speaking, Gu Chen quickly asked:

"The person who came to pick him up on a motorcycle, couldn't it be you? You followed him out on the motorcycle."

"And the woman who is said to have kidnapped you may not exist at all. She is just a character you deliberately made up, right?"

Gu Chen did not deliberately avoid anything this time, but directly threw the question to Xu Yaxuan.

Xu Yaxuan was already in a bad mood, even a little depressed.

Fortunately, with Gu Chen's comfort, the situation gradually improved.

But Gu Chen immediately threw this question back to him, putting enough pressure on himself, which made Xu Yaxuan suddenly feel at a loss.

Facing Gu Chen's questioning, Xu Yaxuan instinctively shrank back, not daring to look at Gu Chen. He hesitated for a long time before saying:

"Officer Gu, you may be mistaken. How could you have such a ridiculous idea?"

"I am a victim who was kidnapped and almost killed by these people, but why would you doubt me?"

  "Because that woman doesn't exist at all." As soon as Xu Yaxuan finished speaking, Gu Chen directly followed up and said:

"That woman, no matter how we investigate, does not exist at all."

"Moreover, you said that the guide who was in the cave before was killed by his companion, the guide who kidnapped you."

"But I'm curious, the two of them have been partners for many years and founded the Pioneer Outdoor Club together."

"Logically speaking, they should have a good relationship, but why would they kill each other just for these burial objects? This is a bit unreasonable. Don't they know that it is difficult for one person to transport these things?"

"Haha." Listening to Gu Chen's analysis, Xu Yaxuan also laughed dryly twice, and then said:

"Officer Gu, you overestimate them. In the face of huge wealth, human greed and selfishness will be infinitely magnified."

"Under such circumstances, a normal person will become abnormal. The master before my father is the best proof of this."

"Greed will devour a person's sanity and kill his partners and companions. Isn't this normal?"

"But why were the wounds of the deceased all caused by the same person?"

As soon as Xu Yaxuan finished speaking, Gu Chen asked Xu Yaxuan directly.

This made Xu Yaxuan suddenly feel a little confused, and he was also puzzled and asked: "You...what are you talking about?"

"I ask, why did the deceased die in the same way?"

"The injuries seem to be caused by different weapons. The first guide who died in the cave was stabbed in the neck by a sharp knife."

"And the second guide, the one you said kidnapped you, was killed by you. But why is the location of Xiwang's wound exactly the same as that of the guide who died in the cave?"

"It's just that the guide you mentioned who kidnapped you, the weapon that stabbed him in the neck was a hairpin."

"But you also said that your father had already thought of everything for you. If the people you were traveling with did something out of line, you could use your training to defend yourself and kill them."

"You even trained specifically for this."

"We have investigated these two victims and they have no criminal records, so if they want to kill someone, their first time method would definitely be crude."

"But according to forensic examination, both victims were killed with one blow. The murderer's method of committing the crime was very sophisticated, as if it was the result of years of training."

At this point, Gu Chen looked at Xu Yaxuan and asked, "Xu Yaxuan, don't you have anything to say?"
