I asked you to write a book, not to disclose your criminal record!

Chapter 179 If I did it, you wouldn't see the victim

In the interrogation room.

He Zhi, a police comrade from Linyi Police Station in Qilu Region, is still in a fierce confrontation with Lin Chuan.

"At present, you are still the most suspected perpetrator." He Zhi stared at Lin Chuan with sharp eyes, trying to see the slightest fluctuation on Lin Chuan's face.

However, his goal failed again.

Lin Chuan was not moved at all. Instead, his eyes lit up when he heard about the murder case.

If it was just a tomb-robbing case, the existence of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" would indeed get him into some trouble.

After all, as long as the suspicion is not ruled out, the police will conduct a series of investigations against him.

This is a necessary process for the police to investigate cases.

Inevitable.

But right.

There was one more murder case in the Qixing Lu Palace. As long as the murderer was found, Lin Chuan could be ruled out as a suspect.

It’s much more convenient and faster.

It’s done, it’s done!

"You don't seem surprised, but excited instead?" He Zhi looked at Lin Chuan's expression with a puzzled look on his face.

uh-huh?

This excited expression seems like the bloodthirsty excitement of a killer?
Why is this guy so weird?
"Well, Officer He, in the world of tomb robbers, it's normal for people to kill and cause bloodshed in order to keep the property for themselves, isn't it?" Lin Chuan restrained himself and said with a smile.

In the tomb-robbing world, tomb-robbing gangs need to be on guard against each other at all times.

Because the cultural relics they are facing may be worth millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions.

Murder for money has never been a rare thing since ancient times.

This happens even more often in the tomb-robbing world.

If you kill your accomplices, you can keep the money for yourself.

——Many people cannot withstand such evil thoughts.

Even between father and son, it can happen.

Therefore, there is an unwritten rule in the tomb-robbing world that if a father and son are exploring a tomb, the father must leave the tomb first, followed by the son.

There is a reason for its existence.

"You know a lot about tomb robbing." Police comrade He Zhi said with an ambiguous meaning.

Lin Chuan smiled and said, "This is the professional quality of a novelist. He checks every line he writes."

The study materials alone can fill up hundreds of GB of hard drive.

Most serious novelists are like this.

At this time.

At the side, Shen Qianqian, who had not intervened in the interrogation, said, "Officer He, there has been a murder in the ancient tomb. Can you show Comrade Lin Chuan the photos so he can identify it?"

He Zhi nodded.

Then, he pulled out a photo from the file and handed it to Lin Chuan: "Comrade Lin Chuan, do you recognize these two people?"

This photo shows the two mummies in the Qixing Palace of King Lu.

His whole body was shriveled up, like a mummy.

One of the mummies was lying face down, with its hands tightly grasping the ground.

There was a hole in the light green clothes on his back, and one could vaguely make out that the clothes near the hole were dyed with different colors.

It looks like blood.

The other mummy was curled up, hunched over, with his hands holding his abdomen. It must have been hit in the abdomen, and there were faint, different marks on the ground.

"do not know."

Lin Chuan took a look and said, "But..."

"But what?"

He Zhi raised his eyebrows and asked.

"This was not done by me." Lin Chuan smiled and said directly.

"Ok?"

He Zhi frowned and looked puzzled.

The light in the interrogation room was not particularly bright, and when it shone on Lin Chuan's face, it looked angular and a little mysterious.

Lin Chuan looked up at He Zhi, the police comrade from Linyi, and smiled: "Officer He, you may not know me very well. If it were me who did it, you wouldn't be able to see the existence of these two people."

"Ok?"

He Zhi's expression suddenly became stern, and his brows suddenly wrinkled into a "川" shape. "What did you just say?"

Lin Chuan looked calm and repeated, "If I did it, you wouldn't be able to see the existence of these two people."

hiss!
He Zhi looked stern as he stared at Lin Chuan, then turned to look at Shen Qianqian.

Shen Qianqian actually nodded and added, "Officer He, you can trust Comrade Lin Chuan on this point. If these two people were really killed by Lin Chuan, then they would never appear in your sight."

what?
He Zhi opened his mouth slightly and was completely stunned.

He looked at Shen Qianqian, who was serving as the deputy judge, and said in a daze: "Officer Shen, I don't understand what you are saying."

Shen Qianqian smiled and explained, "Comrade Lin Chuan wrote a book called "This Killer is Too Professional". It is a recommended book for our Anling Criminal Police Team. You can also read it."

"Officer Shen, now is not the time to recommend novels. Lin Chuan's attitude is too arrogant!" He Zhi lowered his voice and whispered beside Shen Qianqian.

"Can I talk to you for a moment?" Shen Qianqian took He Zhi out of the interrogation room directly.

Outside the interrogation room.

Shen Qianqian glanced at Lin Chuan who was sitting obediently in the interrogation room and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If the Seven-Star Palace of King Lu in "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" is basically consistent with the details in reality, it is possible that Lin Chuan was involved in tomb robbing.

but!

The occurrence of the homicide case basically ruled out Lin Chuan as a suspect.

"Lin Chuan said that if he did it, we wouldn't be able to see those two people. This..." He Zhi didn't know how to describe his feelings for a moment.

I just felt that Lin Chuan's words were arrogant and domineering.

"Officer He, this is your first time meeting Comrade Lin Chuan and you don't know him well. At this point in the case, we can basically rule him out as a suspect."

The corners of Shen Qianqian's mouth rose slightly and she spoke in a relaxed tone.

"Officer Shen, why do you say that?" He Zhi was stunned and very confused.

Shen Qianqian thought for a moment, then organized her words and said, "Because Lin Chuan has professional-level crime scene handling and crime scene investigation capabilities. If you see his "This Killer is Too Professional", you will completely give up this idea."

indeed so.

Shen Qianqian knows Lin Chuan very well.

She knew very well what Lin Chuan was capable of when it came to homicides.

Judging from the two photos provided by Officer He Zhi, there were two mummies, bloodstains on the ground and on the clothes.

The victim's reaction to being stabbed was very natural and didn't seem fake.

It is clear.

This is the first crime scene.

If Lin Chuan had committed the crime, after several months, not to mention the two mummies, even the crime scene could be restored to the time when nothing had happened.

This is called professionalism.

Wouldn't it be easier to get rid of suspicion by just dealing with the two victims and then running away?
hiss!
He Zhi took a deep breath and frowned: "Officer Shen, do you mean that Comrade Lin Chuan not only has rich experience in tomb robbing, but also has experience in killing people?"

"Officer He, it's not about experience, it's about technique!" Shen Qianqian clearly defended Lin Chuan.

When you talk about experience, that’s a conviction.

The Linyi police really want to convict Lin Chuan, but the Anling police disagree.

Mr. Zhong from Hanjiang also had to review the case from top to bottom. If there were any omissions or suspicious points, the case would have to be sent back for retrial.

call--

He Zhi looked at Shen Qianqian deeply, and then recalled the scene of Lin Chuan and Liu Daqiang shaking hands.

He seemed to understand the attitude of the Anling police.

No wonder Lin Chuan was so cooperative and calm.

"I want to investigate Lin Chuan's information." He Zhi thought for a moment and said.

Shen Qianqian shook her head: "Officer He, I don't have the authority to retrieve Lin Chuan's information."

uh-huh?

He Zhi was startled again, and asked in confusion: "Officer Shen, according to what you said, he is indeed a talent, but his file has not risen to the level of confidentiality, right?"

As a colleague, he knew exactly what Shen Qianqian meant by this.

and so.

His heart was filled with waves of doubt and confusion.

"I'm sorry I can't answer that, but I can answer the doubts about the case you mentioned during the interrogation just now on behalf of Lin Chuan. Lin Chuan has not been to the Qilu area in the past two years, especially this year." Shen Qianqian said.

"What about the novel?"

He Zhi frowned.

Shen Qianqian pondered for a moment and said, "As for the overlap between the novel and reality, I can't explain it accurately. It may be that Lin Chuan saw the prototype of a tomb robbery on the Internet, and then used it as the story to form a novel."

This was not only Shen Qianqian's intention, but also the instruction of Liu Daqiang from the Criminal Investigation Team.

At the top, there is Zhang Biao.

They were not shielding Lin Chuan, but during the interrogation period, they carefully checked Lin Chuan's travel records in the past two years.

The family background has nothing to do with tomb robbing.

"Then I've made this trip in vain." He Zhi sighed.

Shen Qianqian smiled and said, "Maybe you'll get something else." "Something else?"

He Zhi raised his eyes to look at Shen Qianqian and asked with surprise.

"Officer He, you actually have a new key person to solve the case." Shen Qianqian gave He Zhi some advice.

"What do you mean?"

He Zhi was a little confused.

"What do you think?" Shen Qianqian gave him a look, indicating that he should look inside the interrogation room.

He Zhi looked a little surprised: "Officer Shen means that Lin Chuan can help us solve this case?"

Shen Qianqian nodded.

Outside the interrogation room, the lights were bright and a breeze blew in through the window.

He Zhi touched his chin and fell into a brief thought.

Shen Qianqian looked at the bright moon outside the window with a bright smile on her face: "Officer He, the Qixing Lu Palace is involved in tomb robbery and murder. The victim is a tomb robber, and the perpetrator may also be a tomb robber. I think there is no one more suitable than Lin Chuan to solve the case."

He Zhi didn't know much about Lin Chuan, so he was still a little hesitant: "Officer Shen, why don't you explain it more clearly? On behalf of the Linyi police, I would like to express my gratitude to you."

"No thanks."

Shen Qianqian smiled and only revealed a little information, "Before, Lin Chuan helped us solve several mysterious cases. He has rich experience in criminal investigation and solving cases."

This time.

Shen Qianqian emphasizes experience.

"No wonder you think so highly of him."

He Zhi understood a little.

However, on second thought, it seemed that what Shen Qianqian said made some sense.

Grave robbery + murder.

Both are Lin Chuan's areas of expertise.

He Zhi was somewhat tempted, and at Shen Qianqian's recommendation, he wanted to ask Lin Chuan to help solve the case.

"Thank you, Officer Shen." He Zhi said with a smile.

"You're welcome."

Shen Qianqian smiled.

The police station at night is like an isolated island, quiet and solemn amid the hustle and bustle of the city.

The moonlight filtered through the windows of the high walls and sprinkled on the ground, creating mottled light and shadows. The breeze blew gently, ruffling her hair at the temples.

Shen Qianqian tucked up a few strands of hair by her ears and walked into the interrogation room.

He Zhi walked in front.

"Comrade Lin Chuan, I misunderstood you." He Zhi walked up to Lin Chuan, held Lin Chuan's hand, with an apologetic look on his face.

"Officer He, what do you mean by this?"

Even Lin Chuan was stunned and couldn't help but look at He Zhi.

at this time.

He Zhi's expression was no longer solemn, but was replaced by apology and a smile.

Lin Chuan looked at Shen Qianqian behind him again and gave her a questioning look.

Shen Qianqian blinked and a bright smile appeared on her face.

Lin Chuan understood.

This was Shen Qianqian doing ideological work for He Zhi and clearing herself of suspicion.

At least, most of the suspicion has been cleared.

Moreover, He Zhi will need help from me, otherwise, his attitude would not have changed so much.

It turns out.

Lin Chuan's speculation was completely correct.

"Officer He, I'm just cooperating with the investigation." Seeing He Zhi taking the initiative to show goodwill, Lin Chuan did not reject him.

He Zhi smiled and said, "Comrade Lin Chuan, to be honest, the tomb robbery and murder case in the Qixing Lu Palace has been weighing on my shoulders for a long time. All sectors of society are paying attention to it, so it is inevitable that I am a little impatient."

"I can understand. Officer Shen often encounters such situations." Lin Chuan smiled and glanced at Shen Qianqian out of the corner of his eye.

Shen Qianqian turned around and pursed her lips slightly.

This guy still holds a grudge.

He Zhi laughed and immediately took Lin Chuan out of the interrogation room and into the reception room.

He Zhi walked in front.

Lin Chuan and Shen Qianqian walked behind.

"Thank you, Officer Shen." Lin Chuan whispered thank you.

"What are you thanking me for? I'm just telling the truth, and I have evidence to prove it." Shen Qianqian pursed her lips and blinked her bright eyes.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the reception room.

The environment in the reception room is much better than that in the interrogation room.

"Comrade Lin Chuan, Officer Shen, have some tea first."

He Zhi was not familiar with the place, and after some confusion, he made the tea.

"Officer He, if you have something to say, just tell me."

Lin Chuan smiled and said.

Police comrade He Zhi took a deep breath.

Not long ago.

Seeing that Lin Chuan was still a suspect, he immediately asked him for help in solving the case.

He Zhi was a little uncomfortable with this change.

However, the case of the Qixing Lu Palace has indeed been a mystery so far.

but!

Because the impact of this incident is huge.

The Qixing Lu Palace has not yet disclosed the archaeological details to the outside world, but once the details are disclosed, the pressure they face will be even greater.

Tomb robbery and murder, two closely related cases, but there has been no progress.

Not to mention the performance.

As for public opinion, the police station can also get a share of the profits.

This is also one of the reasons why He Zhi flew directly from Linyi to Anling.

"It's like this, Comrade Lin Chuan, do you have any different opinions on this case?" He Zhi asked tentatively.

Lin Chuan shook his head: "No."

He Zhi was startled: "No?"

Lin Chuan nodded solemnly and said with a smile: "Officer He, don't get me wrong. I'm not upset about the interrogation just now. I really don't have a different opinion. This is a simple homicide case."

"I was anxious."

He Zhi gave an awkward laugh, but was too anxious to do anything.

"But looking at how shriveled the two mummies are, combined with the underground environment in the Qixing Lu Palace, it should be five or six months, right?" Lin Chuan asked.

"We, the Linyi police, estimate it to be six months."

He Zhi raised his eyebrows and thought, he can tell the time of death just from the photo, this kid is really something!

Lin Chuan asked again: "Besides that photo, are there any other photos?"

In the reception room, He Zhi glanced at Shen Qianqian next to him, then took out the information and handed more photos of the scene to Lin Chuan.

"This is a photo of the side tomb chamber at the crime scene," He Zhi introduced.

Lin Chuan's eyes fell on the photo.

In the side tomb chamber, a coffin was open, and there was nothing inside.

Lin Chuan flipped through the other photos.

After a long while, he said, "Preliminary judgment shows that the victim and the murderer are both from the Northern School of Tomb Robbers."

He Zhi was startled. He didn't know much about tomb robbing, so he asked hurriedly, "I've heard that tomb robbing is divided into two branches, the north and the south, but how can you tell that they are the northern school?"

Lin Chuan smiled and then told He Zhi and Shen Qianqian about the differences between the southern and northern groups of tomb robbers.

The northern school of tomb robbers have many taboos, so they do less damage to ancient tombs and usually just take the things and leave.

The Southern School is not like that.

They usually have no taboos. Once they enter an ancient tomb, they often destroy it and plunder its treasures.

"Officer He, look at these seven sarcophagi. If the Southern Faction came, they would definitely smash them open to see what's inside." Lin Chuan said with a smile.

Most of the tombs in the Qixing Palace of King Lu are still well preserved and have not been severely damaged.

The hole was also square in shape.

This is the mark of the northern tomb robbers.

He Zhi nodded and asked tentatively: "Comrade Lin Chuan, if your schedule is convenient, can you come with me to conduct an on-site inspection?"

Lin Chuan took a sip of tea and pondered for a moment: "This case is not difficult. We don't need to go to the scene, right?"

He Zhi was stunned for a moment, and looked at Lin Chuan with some confusion.

'It's not difficult' 'No need to go to the scene', these words... made him feel a little embarrassed.

Shen Qianqian was also stunned: "Lin Chuan, you can't tell who the murderer is just by looking at the photo, right?"

　The revision is complete! Sorry, guys, it affects the reading experience.
