Two days later.

The matter of finding Hong Guangyan did not go as smoothly as expected. Zhao Qiming and the others judged that the other party should have changed his name and hid somewhere in Jiangcheng.

Abnormalities must have monsters, and there is a high probability that there is something wrong with this Hong Guangyan.

If he was really involved in the tomb robbing incident, then to the police, all the truth will be revealed, and the identity of the murderer will most likely surface.

Therefore, Zhao Qiming and the others were not depressed by not being able to find Hong Guangyan, but instead became excited.

The harder it is to find, the greater the problem the other party has, and the effort and reward are directly proportional.

now.

Old Town, Senior Activity Square.

Zhao Qiming, He Xin and others came here. According to the two-day visit and investigation, Hong Guangyan is likely to live nearby.

Skynet surveillance also captured the other party's figure moving around.

This place was still built in the 1980s and 1990s. Looking at it, there are mostly bungalows, and most of them are elderly people.

Occasionally I see young people, but most of them are out-of-towners renting houses.

The rent in the old city is cheap and it is not far from the city. It is the best choice for young men and women who come to Jiangcheng from the countryside to work hard.

Once you make money and become successful, it’s not too late to move out.

This is a process that must be experienced to integrate into a big city from scratch, and it is quite difficult.

"Look for them separately and keep in communication."

Zhao Qiming waved his hand and everyone dispersed.

He strictly followed Chen Yi's orders. Several police officers were wearing police uniforms instead of casual clothes, so they attracted a lot of people's attention as soon as they arrived at the square.

The square is very lively, with many small circles, some playing mahjong, some playing cards, some playing chess, and some exchanging traditional musical instruments such as erhu.

Zhao Qiming stood in the distance, scanning the entire crowd in the square, not letting go of any suspicious guy.

As time passed, his eyes narrowed slightly and settled on a certain old man.

At first, the other party was there to watch others playing chess, but after discovering that the police were visiting and gradually getting closer, he decisively chose to leave.

Zhao Qiming did not hesitate and chased after him.

The old man had poor legs and feet, so he walked very slowly. Zhao Qiming caught up quickly.

"Master, wait a minute."

Zhao Qiming stood still behind the old man.

The old man paused, turned back slowly, and said with a smile, "What's wrong, young man?"

Zhao Qiming stared at him for a while and then said, "Interpol from the Municipal Bureau, what is your name?"

The old man was surprised: "Interpol?"

"My name is Wang Dahai, others call me Lao Wang."

Zhao Qiming smiled: "Can I see your ID card?"

"Ok, Ok."

Wang Dahai rummaged around for a while, then handed over an ID card.

Zhao Qiming took it and found that it was indeed Wang Dahai's name.

"Wang Dahai..." Zhao Qiming smiled, "No, I think your name should be Hong Guangyan."

Hearing these words, Wang Dahai's wrinkled face showed a brief look of surprise.

"Young man, what did you say...?"

Zhao Qiming snorted: "Hong Guangyan, although your family members are all abroad, it is not difficult to find them, and you have many relatives in China. Don't talk nonsense to me."

"It's time to explain clearly what happened twenty-five years ago."

Hong Guangyan: "!!!"

Jiangcheng City Bureau, inquiry room.

Chen Yi gave Hong Guangyan enough respect and did not take him to the interrogation room. After all, apart from the illegal act of buying fake certificates, the other party had no other criminal suspects for the time being.

As for tomb robbing, the prosecution period has also passed.

When he arrived here, Hong Guangyan seemed much calmer, holding the hot tea cup given by the police in both hands, trying to warm his cold skin.

"Mr. Hong, let's talk."

Chen Yi, who was sitting opposite, spoke, including Zhao Qiming and others.

At this moment, you should be able to figure out what happened twenty-five years ago.

Hong Guangyan lowered his head and whispered: "It's been so long, isn't there some...period?"

Chen Yi asked back: "Then why did you hide and change your name?"

Hong Guangyan was silent.

Chen Yi was not going to talk nonsense with the other party, and said directly: "Six people are already dead, and the person in charge of the identification even has his son dead. Now do you know what case we are investigating?"

Hearing this, Hong Guangyan suddenly raised his head and said in shock: "They are all dead?! Lao Geng...'s son was also killed?! Fortunately..."

"Geng?" Chen Yi raised his eyebrows, "His surname is Geng?"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and Qin Fei stepped forward and placed Cao Maojun's photo on the table.

Hong Guangyan took a look, frowned and said, "Yes, this is Lao Geng, an old liar."

It seems that Cao Maojun gave himself a code name back then, which was quite cautious.

"Show him the photos of other people as well." Chen Yi said.

When all the photos of the victims were placed in front of Hong Guangyan one by one, the other person sighed deeply, and he seemed to have aged a lot.

"You all know each other, right?" Chen Yi said.

Hong Guangyan nodded.

Chen Yi: "Do you know what it's called?"

Hong Guangyan: "I only know the last name, but not the name."

Chen Yi: "Tell me."

Hong Guangyan raised his head slightly, pointed at Sun Jianli's photo and said, "This one's surname is Sun."

"This is Tian."

"This seems... oh yes, his surname is Liang."

"this……"

He accurately named the five victims from more than ten years ago, except that Cao Maojun's surname was Geng.

Chen Yi: "What about yourself? How did you introduce yourself to them?"

Hong Guangyan: "I'll just say my surname is Hong."

Chen Yi nodded slightly and said: "What exactly happened twenty-five years ago, let's start with Tian Youwei."

Hong Guangyan swallowed and said with some fear: "He...will he kill me again?"

As Qian Yanduo said, this Hong Guangyan is very timid, but it is understandable, after all, his life is at stake.

Chen Yi said: "Don't worry, now that we have found you, we will ensure your safety."

Thinking that he was in the city bureau and surrounded by police, Hong Guangyan's expression softened, and he immediately said: "Twenty-five years ago, it was indeed this field... Youwei who found me and said he wanted to cooperate with me on a deal."

Chen Yi: "How did he find you?"

Hong Guangyan: "I said it was introduced by a friend of mine."

Chen Yi: "Who?"

Hong Guangyan: "My name is Qian Yan."

Chen Yi hummed: "Continue."

Hong Guangyan said: "He said he knew the location of a tomb that must be cleared, and there must be a lot of good things inside. I agreed, gave him 50,000 yuan, and asked him to find someone."

Chen Yi was surprised: "We don't know each other, so we can directly give him 50,000?"

Hong Guangyan was silent for a while and said: "I...I don't think he is a liar."

Chen Yi: "..."

Qian Yan was right. Back then, Hong Guangyan was indeed stupid and had too much money. Or maybe he wanted to go to the grave too much. There was an opportunity in front of him and he didn't want to miss it.

"Then what?"

Hong Guangyan said: "Then two months later, he found all the people, six in total."

Zhao Qiming and others were shocked when they heard six.

Chen Yi also immediately asked: "Apart from the five in the photo, who is the sixth person?"

Hong Guangyan recalled: "He...he didn't say his name. He was a master from other places."

no name? Out of town?

Everyone frowned. No wonder the long-term visit and investigation yielded no results. Did Tian Youwei really find him from outside?

That's right, if you can find Yangcheng and Tao Hanhui, you can naturally find other places as well.

That would be difficult.

"How much do you remember about what he looks like?" Chen Yi asked.

These words made Hong Guangyan shudder: "I remember... I remember it very clearly."

Chen Yi: "Can you help us with the portrait?"

Hong Guangyan: "Okay."

Chen Yi nodded: "Okay, let's continue talking."

Hong Guangyan said: "After a few days of preparation, we went to the location where Tian Youwei said to clean the tomb."

"Only after I arrived did I realize that it was not the exact location, just a rough range. At that time, I thought Tian Youwei was cheating, but..."

"But the master he found was very powerful. In just half a day, he relied on his own ability to lock the entrance to the tomb. It was... very powerful, very powerful."

It can be seen that he still admires that person back then. Speaking of it now, he can still use three "awesome" to describe him in a row.

"After we found the tomb entrance, Sun was mainly responsible for digging. He was also very professional. When digging couldn't be done, he could always find a way to dig deeper."

"Eventually, we entered the tomb to be cleared."

Chen Yi: "Didn't explosives be used? Wasn't there a person responsible for blasting?"

Hong Guangyan shook his head: "No, I brought a blaster just in case, no use."

Chen Yi: "Continue."

Hong Guangyan: "After entering the tomb, we discovered that it was a filter pit! Alas..."

When he mentioned this matter, he couldn't help but sigh. Looking back on it, he still felt unlucky.

"You know about the filter pit, right? People have already taken advantage of it, and people have already stolen it!"

"There is no way. Now that we are here, we can't go back empty-handed. We can only search carefully to see if there is anything that the previous wave of people missed."

"I didn't expect...there really is!"

"I remember that I found a lot of Qing folk kilns, a mirror, a porcelain vase, a few plates, ancient coins and so on. I can't remember the details."

"After identification, Lao Geng said they were all genuine, and we started distributing them."

"The expert who fixed the acupoints had already told me that after entering the tomb, he had to choose first. As long as he wanted one thing, he took away the Tang Dynasty Sea Beast Grape Mirror..."

"This is... the most valuable."

"I quietly asked Lao Geng how much this thing cost, and he said several million. I was shocked at the time, and then... everyone else also knew about it, and there was a quarrel, saying that it should be divided equally."

"In the end, it was Tian Youwei and Lao Geng who persuaded us that since we agreed, we must keep our word, and we couldn't find the tomb without him, so everyone gave up."

"I didn't expect...I didn't expect that it would be different when I came out!"

Recalling the heart-stopping scene, Hong Guangyan became nervous again.

Chen Yi and others listened carefully and did not interrupt.

Hong Guangyan's voice was trembling: "I don't know what happened. The master was the last one to climb out of the robbery hole, but just halfway through, Lao Sun and the others asked the other party to hand over the mirror."

"Of course he couldn't agree. He yelled angrily, and then...then they took action and hit him with a shovel, knocking him down."

"A few people must have discussed it. Even Lao Tian was not idle and wanted to grab it, but he held it tightly and couldn't grab it, so Lao Sun... took action again."

"I didn't see what was going on. Anyway, the mirror was broken. Old Sun kicked him in angrily and then buried the hole..."

Hearing this, Chen Yi rubbed his eyebrows, and Zhao Qiming and others were also silent. This is really touching people's hearts.

"But I didn't do it, I definitely didn't do it! I was so frightened! I had no idea how things suddenly turned out like this."

"Yes, there is Lao Geng, he didn't do anything, neither of us did anything!"

Hong Guangyan did not forget to explain to himself.

Chen Yi said two words: "Continue."

Hong Guangyan picked up the cup and took a sip of water, and said: "Later, Lao Geng angrily cursed Lao Sun and the others for being crazy, but what could be done had happened, so everyone took their things and parted ways, never to see each other again."

"This old Geng! What level is he! A liar!"

“When I took the item and wanted to sell it, people told me it was fake!”

"Although the imitation is very real, it is still fake. It is a fake!"

"The imitations are worth some money, but they are far inferior to the real ones. You are a master of appraisal, a liar, and a rip-off!"

Chen Yi understood.

Hong Guangyan still believes that Lao Geng, also known as Cao Maojun, is just not good enough, rather than intentionally deceiving.

Objectively speaking, there is no evidence to prove that Cao Maojun deliberately deceived, but the only genuine item in the tomb was already in his hands, which explains the problem.

Coupled with what Cao Maojun said to his son when he passed away...

The possibility of deliberate deception is extremely high.

If it weren't for his deception, the crime of concealing the treasure would not have happened, and the "master" would not have died.

This was indirect, killing the other party. Perhaps because of this, Cao Maojun could not let go until his death.

"After I went back, I was always scared..."

Hong Guangyan's voice sounded.

"This... this is a dead person after all, and he died so miserably! Was he crushed to death or buried alive? I... I don't dare to think about it."

"Because of this incident, I have had nightmares for several years. Going to the tomb is completely different from what I imagined!"

"It wasn't until ten years later that a friend who played antiques told me that he happened to encounter a murder scene. A man was buried dead in the soil, and there was a mirror in front of him!"

"When I heard this, I was scared!! Then I went to find out if this was really the case!"

"I don't know who the dead person is, but I always feel that it is related to what happened back then, so I want to find Tian Youwei, but I have lost contact with him for a long time, and I haven't found him for a long time."

"I was scared, so... I hid."

At this time, Chen Yi said: "So, do you think someone is taking revenge?"

Hong Guangyan hummed, and his old face turned a little pale.

The moment he learned that all the people involved were dead, he was already sure that someone was taking revenge.

Fortunately, I hid early! Otherwise, I will definitely die!

The inquiry room fell silent.

By this point, what happened twenty-five years ago is crystal clear.

The murderer was seeking revenge for his father.

His father was smashed on the head and buried in a grave. He chose to use the same method to end the lives of Sun Jianli and others.

His father died because of Tang Haishou Grape Mirror, so he chose the same method and placed a mirror in front of each victim.

Let them watch themselves die.

Just like when they saw the murderer's father die when they saw money.

The only variable in this is Cao Yuning's death.

A university professor, a person who had nothing to do with the case, was still on the murderer's killing list.

This also indirectly shows that the murderer has been corrupted by hatred and has become extremely crazy.
