Xixia dead book

Chapter 65 The Lost 1964 (2)
"I think Guo Hong is very doubtful. Could it be that Wang Kai planned the auction of Yuchaping alone? You must know that Wang Kai is just an ordinary employee of the auction company!" Zhao Yong seemed very suspicious of Guo Hong.

"It's too early to draw conclusions. If Guo Hong is fine, then it can be concluded that Wang Kai planned and directed the auction. Qi Ning is just a victim. As for the black hand behind him, it should be theirs. Mysterious organization. Zhao Yong, you just need to arrange to monitor Guo Hong now, maybe they will show their feet in a few days."

Tang Feng and Han Jiang got out of the BMW, and Zhao Yong suddenly remembered something, "By the way, we checked the entire scene, and found no Wang Kai's mobile phone, nor any other communication tools."

"Oh?" Han Jiang felt something.

"But we found this in the car." As he spoke, Zhao Yong held up a small evidence bag, which contained a SM card.

Both Tang Feng and Han Jiang's eyes widened. Zhao Yong showed a smile and continued to introduce: "After discovering this SM card, we have already extracted the information in this card. To our surprise, this card contains There is only one number saved."

"A number?" Han Jiang asked in surprise.

"Well, and this card was only used twice in the early morning of this morning, and the same number was called both times."

"What? You mean me? The number stored in this card is my number?" Tang Feng was shocked.

Zhao Yong smiled and nodded.

"Damn, this damn Wang Kai, why does he have to find me?" Tang Feng complained.

Han Jiang remained calm and asked Zhao Yong, "When was this card issued by Wang Kai?"

"It has been done for some time, but what is strange is that this card has not been used." Zhao Yong replied.

Han Jiang pondered for a moment, then analyzed: "Obviously, Wang Kai's mobile phone was taken away by the person who killed him, and the murderer ignored that Wang Kai still has a card, and Wang Kai has already applied for this card, but has been He didn't use it, but he wanted to use this card at a critical moment. This morning, he used this card to call Tang Feng, and it was obviously a critical moment for him."

Han Jiang's words inspired Tang Feng, "Yes, I remembered, he first asked me to go to Xiangshan Biyun Temple, and then suddenly called me to the Temple of Heaven halfway, it seems that he is very cautious, and he also said that he is very dangerous now , have to be careful."

"Does he mean the murderer who killed him, or us?" Zhao Yong was a little confused.

"Obviously there are both. On the one hand, he sensed that the black hands behind him were going to kill him. On the other hand, he specifically told Tang Feng not to tell us. It can be seen that he does not want to be discovered by us and go to jail." Han Jiang analyzed.

Tang Feng nodded, "But what important matter does he have to tell me?"

"Of course it's about Yu Chaping's whereabouts and the situation of his mastermind behind the scenes. I speculate that he came to you alone because you are an insider, and because Wang Kai knew about your relationship with us. He probably felt threatened. , I hope that you can reach some kind of agreement with us and explain the situation he has in exchange for our protection." Han Jiang's deduction seems reasonable.

Tang Feng and Zhao Yong nodded, "It seems that this is the only explanation that is reasonable. It's a pity that those people are ahead of us again." Zhao Yong said.

"Then what should we do next?" Tang Feng asked Han Jiang.

"Wait! Wait for the opponent to reveal his flaws." Han Jiang said lightly.

Three days later, Tang Feng and Han Jiang were in the office to ask Professor Luo some questions about the history of Xixia, but Zhao Yong hurriedly called and reported to Han Jiang: "Guo Hong reported the case to the police today, saying that Wang Kai, an employee of his company, We disappeared for several days, and people from the criminal police team asked us how to deal with it; in addition, according to reports from our people who monitored Guo Hong, the auction company was in disarray these days, some said that Wang Kai was killed, and some said that Wang Kai absconded with money Now, Guo Hong looks at a loss, from the surface, it seems that he really doesn't know."

"Well! I see. The people monitoring Guo Hong on your side can withdraw. You can tell the criminal police that you can tell Guo Hong that Wang Kai has been killed and take him to identify Wang Kai's body." Han Jiang commanded.

"Understood! Let's go next..." Zhao Yong asked.

"Next, we should talk to Guo Hong." Han Jiang said calmly.

Tang Feng, Han Jiang and Professor Luo chatted until noon. After lunch, Tang Feng and Han Jiang drove to Yunhong Building where Huabao International Auction Company was located. Tang Feng couldn't help but stop for a long time in front of the gate of Yunhong Building. Looking up at this not-so-high building, Qi Ning just jumped off the roof of this building.

Han Jiang's thoughts also went back to a few months ago. It was the week before the auction that Han Jiang first heard about the jade screen from the chief, and became a member of the "Old K" special team. The captain of the action team, he hastily put together the team in three days, his first official task was to participate in the auction, pay attention to everyone in the auction who was interested in the jade screen, especially the last The buyers who participated in the bidding for the jade screen, just like that, Liang Yunjie and Tang Feng entered his sight. To be precise, Liang Yunjie should have entered his sight earlier.

During the auction, Han Jiang sat in an inconspicuous corner in the back row. When the jade screen was finally auctioned, the hall was too noisy, and Han Jiang almost focused all his attention on Liang Yunjie who was also sitting in the back row. Han Jiang was also puzzled by Ning's abnormal behavior, but he didn't pay much attention to it at the time.Now he needs to think about that auction again. When Tang Feng told him about the blonde woman who participated in the bidding at the auction in the hospital, Han Jiang realized that he had overlooked too many details in the auction. How could a seemingly ordinary auction be so complicated?He even didn't expect that Qi Ning would commit suicide by jumping off the building the next day!

Han Jiang had also investigated Qi Ning's suicide, but there was no progress, so he followed Yu Chaping's whereabouts and turned the focus of the investigation to Liang Yunjie. Afterwards, Liang Yunjie was murdered and a series of incidents left Han Jiang with no time to investigate. Think again about that original auction.Thanks to Tang Feng's reminder in the hospital, Han Jiang thought of starting from Yuchaping's origin. After a series of investigations, he began to suspect Wang Kai, but their old rival took another step ahead, which ended in Wang Kai's life.

Without waiting for the lady at the front desk to report, Tang Feng and Han Jiang pushed open the door of Mr. Guo's office of Huabao International Auction Company. Guo Hong was lying on the sofa with a listless look when he saw Tang Feng and Han Jiang who suddenly barged in. Guo Hong was surprised: "You are..."

Tang Feng just wanted to speak, but was stopped by Han Jiang. Han Jiang didn't seem to be in a hurry to announce his name. He closed the door, looked around Guo Hong's office vigilantly, and then skillfully looked for it in the base of the desk lamp on Guo Hong's desk. There was a bug.Guo Hong widened his eyes, stared at the bug on the table, and sat back behind the desk, "This...what is this?"

"Bug." Han Jiang said while showing his ID to Guo Hong.

"What? A bug!" For a moment, Guo Hong couldn't believe that someone had installed a bug on his desk.When he saw Han Jiang's ID, he was even more surprised: "This...couldn't this be pretended by you? I have always been a law-abiding citizen!"

"Humph! Humph!" Han Jiang sneered twice, and said, "We have been monitoring your every move for the past few days, but today the monitoring of you has been cancelled. This thing was installed for you by your subordinate Wang Kai." .”

"What? Wang Kai! Isn't he dead? This...what's going on!" Guo Hong looked at Han Jiang in a daze.

Han Jiang was not in a hurry to answer Guo Hong's question, but instead asked him, "Have you seen Wang Kai's corpse?"

Guo Hong nodded in a daze, "Look... I've seen it."

"Okay, since that's the case, let's talk about your feelings?"

"Thinking? Wait...wait a minute, my mind is too confused now, let me think, let me think, when I saw Wang Kai's body, I was too shocked, too shocked... Who would kill him? "Guo Hong shook his head and said.

"Is Wang Kai married? Do you have any relatives?" Although Han Jiang knew about Wang Kai's family situation, he still wanted to confirm it with Guo Hong.

"He's not married. He's been alone in the company. For several years, he hasn't seen any women around him. However, there should be relatives in his hometown."

What Guo Hong said was consistent with what Han Jiang knew, and he asked Guo Hong again: "Talk about your views on Wang Kai!"

"What do you think? I have the impression that Wang Kai has always performed well since he came to the company. He works hard and is loyal to me. Therefore, I have always trusted him. I never thought he would..."

"He actually betrayed you and spied on you!" Han Jiang couldn't help sighing.

"But what happened to Wang Kai? Can you tell me the truth of the whole thing?" Guo Hong asked.

"The truth of the whole thing? Huh, if I knew the truth of the whole thing, I wouldn't be sitting here now. However, I can tell you something about Wang Kai, but you have to make sure that the whole thing is not investigated. For the time being, we cannot disclose the content of our conversation today to others." Han Jiang said seriously.

"Okay, I promise!"

"According to our investigation, Wang Kai was bought by a mysterious overseas organization to work for them about a few years ago. He installed this miniature listening device for you so that he can understand your every move. .”

"Then who killed Wang Kai?"

"It's their organization, because Wang Kai has been exposed and he is no longer useful, so they killed him."

"Why did Wang Kai spy on me? What is his purpose? What is the purpose of all this?" Guo Hong became more and more confused as he heard it.

Han Jiang was stunned for a moment. He was thinking about how to explain this problem to Guo Hong. Tang Feng picked up a copy of the catalog of the spring auction from Guo Hong's desk, and turned to the last page of the catalog. Pointing to Lot No. 1038 in the catalog, he said to Guo Hong, "It's all for this."

"For this?" Guo Hongchao looked at the catalog, "Lot No. 1038, a jade screen with lotus patterns inlaid with jewels from Xixia. Why is it? This jade screen... Oh, I have the impression that it sold for 6000 million at that time , plus the commission, it was the most expensive lot in that spring auction. The bidding was fierce at that time, and some disputes arose later. A Mr. Tang even came to complain to me, as if... This Mr. Tang is you, right?" Guo Hong recognized Tang Feng.

"Yes, it's me."

"But although this jade screen is very valuable, it's not worth Wang Kai's doing that! What on earth...is there in this jade screen? And is Qi Ning's suicide also related to this matter?"

Han Jiang nodded, "That's right! We now suspect that Qi Ning's suicide is also related to this matter. As for the jade screen..."

Han Jiang pondered, he looked at Tang Feng, Tang Feng explained to Guo Hong: "Of course, those people are not only for this jade screen, but I can't reveal the secret of this jade screen to you now. We The main reason I came here is to ask you about the origin of this jade screen, how was it recruited by your company? Who is its seller?"

"This... It's been almost half a year, I have to think about it carefully." Guo Hong tried hard to remember.

"You must think about it. This is very important. According to the information we have, this jade screen is a cultural relic stolen from the Petersburg Winter Palace, which means that its seller is likely to be that group." Tang Feng urged.

"What? You said... this jade screen is a stolen cultural relic from the Winter Palace? No! Generally, if it is a stolen cultural relic, the stolen museum will report it to the relevant organization, and our auction company will know about it. In the past, we have Such incidents have happened, but after we received the notification, we immediately withdrew the auction items, although this has caused some losses to the company, but for the sake of the company's reputation, we will never auction off the stolen cultural relics." Guo Hong was stunned when he heard this.

"This...it's like this. Because this jade screen has some special significance, all parties concerned are reluctant to disclose it." Han Jiang lowered his voice.

"I remembered that this jade screen was solicited by Wang Kai. I am usually very busy with work, so it is impossible to know everything about each item. In addition, I have always trusted Wang Kai, so I didn't pay much attention to it. , The solicitation of this jade screen, and all the formalities for the subsequent auction, were all handled by Wang Kai."

"It really is Wang Kai!" Tang Feng and Han Jiang looked at each other, and seemed to see some dawn again.

Tang Feng continued to ask Guo Hong: "Then do you know who the seller of this jade screen is?"

Guo Hong shook his head and said, "This is all done by Wang Kai, I'm not sure." But then Guo Hong thought of something else, and said to Han Jiang: "However, the company's internal documents should have records of the seller, I'll check. "

Guo Hong typed a few times on the computer, and Han Jiang noticed that Guo Hong was staring at the computer screen, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his face became more serious, "Wait a minute, I'll check it later."

After finishing speaking, Guo Hong walked out of the office. Five minutes later, Guo Hong rushed back to the office and shouted at Han Jiang, "Strange! It's so strange. What's going on?"

"what happened?"

"Whether in my computer or in the company's internal documents, all the information about this jade screen has been deleted."

"Oh!" Tang Feng and Han Jiang were also surprised when they heard this, but after thinking about it, it's not surprising. Since Wang Kai handled this matter by himself, of course he would not leave any traces. It seems that this clue Can't find anything.

"Although I can't find it here, but since this jade screen is a stolen cultural relic from the Winter Palace, then I think the seller should be a treasure thief. You can investigate from the other side of the Winter Palace, and maybe you can find something Instead, Guo Hong advised Tang Feng and Han Jiang.

Han Jiang had already thought of this step in his heart, and he calmly said to Guo Hong: "Thank you for your suggestion, Wang Kai, let's stop here, and then tell me about Qi Ning!"

"Qi Ning? Seriously, this year our company is quite unlucky. First, Qi Ning committed suicide by jumping off a building, and now Wang Kai was killed. Originally, I planned to do a big job this year. If we do this, alas! It will be here soon. It's the end of the year, and the performance is much worse than last year..." Guo Hong complained a lot, and finally talked about Qi Ning, "Qi Ning, he is very famous in the art auction industry. You know that auctioneers are very famous. He pays attention to reputation, so Qi Ning has always been very responsible for his work, and he also pays attention to his own image. He has always been very concerned about his reputation. I still can't figure out his suicide. A good person, a successful career, a harmonious family, How did you commit suicide?"

"What do you think he committed suicide for?" Han Jiang asked.

"I just can't understand this question, but just now I heard you say that Wang Kai did it because of that jade screen... I suddenly thought, could it be because of the auction of that jade screen that Qi Ning committed suicide? Coerced by Wang Kai..."

"Well, now it seems that Qi Ning committed suicide because of Yu Jiaping. He was probably threatened by Wang Kai. Mr. Guo, before the auction, did you find anything unusual about Wang Kai and Qi Ning?" move?" Han Jiang asked.

"Abnormal behavior? Let me think about it... By the way, I didn't pay attention to it before. Now that I think about it, the two of them were indeed a little abnormal before the auction. Once, after I got off work, I saw the two of them in the downstairs of the company. Drinking tea in the teahouse seemed to be talking about something. I didn't take it seriously at the time, but now that I think about it carefully, there is a problem. As far as I know about them, they rarely interact in the company, and they are in different departments. , there is generally no need for direct contact at work, and there is usually no personal relationship between the two of them."

Hearing this, Tang Feng and Han Jiang already had a comprehensive understanding of Wang Kai, Qi Ning, and the auction. Han Jiang picked up the miniature bug on Guo Hong's desk, stood up and looked at Guo Hong. Hong said goodbye: "Thank you for providing me with the information today. If you think of anything in the future, you can call me at any time. In addition, you must pay attention to safety these days. We will send people to protect you secretly, and you have to pay more attention to yourself." careful."
