    "Xiao Gu, you are responsible for this case."

    When he was about to get off work, Chen Bangchuan threw a document on Gu Chu's desk, "Tsk, don't you force people to work overtime when you send the case here? Don't worry, I will pay for your group's overtime this month. Apply for more."

    He looked at the new watch he bought on his wrist to celebrate his appreciation, and said embarrassingly.

    "Head, what's the case?"

    After Chen Bangchuan left, Hua Ying jumped to Gu Chu's side and asked curiously.

    "It's an antique case."

    There is not much information, and Gu Chu simply flipped through and figured out the ins and outs of the matter.

    In recent years, a batch of antiques have appeared in the underground market in the neighboring Sichuan Province. They are all "new goods" that have just been unearthed. Thousands of years ago.

    What shocked archaeologists is that this batch of cultural relics is very different from the cultural relics unearthed in the same period in terms of shape, decoration and other aspects. Funeral.

    Who is the owner of the tomb? Why are his funeral objects so different? Finding that ancient tomb and finding the texts and pictures in it will be an important discovery in the history of archaeology.

    It's a pity that several months have passed since the existence of that batch of cultural relics was discovered. The people who sold the cultural relics were very careful and did not reappear after selling the batch of cultural relics. As a result, there has been no progress in Western Sichuan Province. been sealed.

    At the beginning of this month, a batch of antiques of unknown origin also appeared in the black market of Jincheng. After investigation, the shape of this batch of antiques is highly similar to the batch of antiques that appeared in Western Sichuan Province a few years ago. It may be from the same ancient tomb, so Western Sichuan Province immediately contacted the Jincheng Public Security Bureau, hoping that the two places could cooperate with the investigation.

    "Yingzi, accompany me to the Maverick market later."

    The Xiao Niu Market in Gu Chu's mouth is a more interesting street market in Jincheng. In the 1970s and 1980s, that street was the most famous local livestock market. Many people would bring their own cattle and sheep to this street to sell.

    Later, some people from the surrounding rural areas also came to this street to sell their surplus vegetables and fruits. Later, things became more and more miscellaneous, and some people who sold old items also appeared.

    After the 1920s, Tianjin City’s economy developed rapidly, and the urban renovation started, but that street still retains its former style, but now the farmers’ market and department store are too complete. There are basically no stalls selling vegetables on this street, but there are There are many vendors selling handicrafts, old furniture and antiques.

    This market is a mixed bag, and it has also become one of the channels for some criminals to sell their stolen goods. Every year, market remediation can take away many people from this street. The above has always wanted to regulate and ban the mobile vendors on this street. The "Little Bull Market" has also become one of the characteristic tourist attractions in Jincheng. As a result, the above-mentioned handling of the "Little Bull Market" has never been able to come up with a reasonable charter.

    "Got it."

    Hua Ying readily responded.

    "Fuck!"

    Wan San squatted beside his stall, holding a cold noodle in his hand, eating slurpingly, occasionally dealing with passing customers, and feeling that there might be nothing to gain today, his sharp eyes saw a distant approach. The two of them put down the bowl subconsciously, squatted down and drilled under the stall.

    "Just say you didn't see me."

    He still didn't forget to say hello to the stall owner next to him, his face was as if he had met a ghost.

    "Wan San, don't hide, I saw you earlier."

    Gu Chu approached, and clasped the table with his fingers.

    There are some old antiques on Wansan's stall, all of which are fakes. There are many antique stall owners like Wan San on this street, and the real ones are really rare.

    "Hey, why did this change fall under the table, it's really hard to find it!"

    Wan San hehe smiled and lifted the tablecloth and got out from under the table.

    "I said why I saw magpies when I woke up early this morning. It turned out that I wanted to see the nobles today, Deputy Captain Gu, we haven't seen each other for a while, bro, I've been honest and tight lately, and I haven't done anything wrong. Bar."

    Wan San is a thin and refined middle-aged man, not tall, with a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks, looking a bit wretched.

    Don't look at his bad looks, he thinks it's beautiful. He thinks that his parents named him Wan San, which is only a thousand characters away from the richest man in ancient times. With a rich accent.

    As long as you go out, you must apply hair oil, and comb your hair to make it shiny and shiny. Flies will slide their feet when they stand on it, and it looks even more wretched against that face.

    Gu Chu had personally arrested him several times, because this kid sold stolen goods for others, investigated the stolen goods of the pickpocket gang several times, and finally found him. Wan San also spent several months in prison because of this.

    However, Gu Chu didn't dislike Wan San very much, and said that appearance comes from the heart, but Wansan's essence is not as wretched as his appearance.

    The Wan family has three brothers, and Wan San is the youngest. He is an old man. The second child in the family was already thirteen years old when he was born. The Wan family is just an ordinary family. The old couple worked hard to build a house for the first two sons. Married a daughter-in-law, and agreed that when the younger brother grows up, the two elder brothers will help the younger brother to start a family, but Wan San is not yet an adult, and the father of Wan died unexpectedly, the two older brothers suddenly changed their faces and kicked the younger brother out of the house. Said that even my mother is unwilling to raise her.

    Mrs. Wan was hit one after another, and her head began to lose consciousness. Wan San could only take an old lady who might go crazy anytime and anywhere, and go out to make a living.

    His body and bones are not good, because he was hungry and full during his growth period, and he was too thin to do physical work. Later, he accidentally met an old gangster who was cheating and swindling. After learning a few skills, he came to the Maverick Market to set up a stall and sell some Making old handicrafts to support myself and my mother. When she was about to get married, the crazy old lady was diagnosed with stomach cancer. It was only an early stage, but it could be cured. The various expenses have been dragged to thirty-nine, and there is no object yet.

    The year before last, his crazy old lady passed away, and after finishing the funeral for her, he started thinking about getting married again. Someone introduced him to a widow with children, and he was quite satisfied, but he just got the marriage certificate and hasn't had a formal reception yet. , and was caught by Gu Chu himself for reselling stolen goods.

    He didn't drag the widow with him, and he agreed to the other party's request and went through the divorce procedures directly in prison. He didn't let her refund the 50,000 yuan gift at that time, because he liked the son of the widow's family, and he let the widow Keep it and send that kid to a better school.

    With several previous convictions, no one is willing to introduce him to a partner. Up to now, he is still alone.

    Wan San didn't blame Gu Chu at all, because he himself did something wrong. When he was caught for the first time, Deputy Captain Gu even persuaded him to reform. At that time, his crazy old lady didn't die. Gu Chu I agreed to his request, and went to the house every now and then to visit the old lady and supervise the nurse he hired. Wan San is grateful.

    It's just that he's used to this way of making quick money, otherwise he wouldn't be able to trap a fool in ten days and a half a month just by selling these fake antiques. Saving money for my wife.

    According to Wan San, he didn't steal the things, he didn't care how they got them, it was his ability to sell them, and he had a reason to take a certain percentage of the profits, which was his business experience.

    Just now when he saw Gu Chu, he wanted to hide. It was purely because the thief was afraid of the police. It just so happened that he had done a little bad thing recently, and his heart was empty.

    "Are you full? Can you have some more barbecue? I'll treat you."

    Gu Chu glanced at the half-eaten cold noodles on the table, thinking about Wan San's guilty expression when he saw him just now.

    "Gu captain, if you treat me, then I must be free."

    Wan San patted his thigh and stopped setting up a stall. Anyway, when his business rarely opened on weekdays, he simply lifted the four corners of the tablecloth, tied a knot casually, and then held the bag of things in his hand , shaking his head.

    "Go!"

    With that said, he led the way ahead.

    There is a supper stall on this street, the ingredients are relatively fresh, and the price is also suitable. Although Gu Chu said that she was a treat, Wan San didn't intend to kill her.

    "Thirty skewers of mutton skewers, ten skewers of grilled leeks, and enoki mushrooms in a tin foil box. Is today's lamb loin fresh? Two skewers of fresh ones..."

    When Wan San ordered, Gu Chu took out a few photos from his pocket.

    "Have you seen any of these things in the photo?"

    "Okay, okay, just order these first."

    Wan San waved at the waiter. He had eaten supper with Gu Chu and the others a few times before, and he knew their taste preferences. Anyway, everyone is an adult, and they didn't order anything they wanted, so they can add more later. .

    After finishing speaking, he took a few photos that Gu Chu handed over, and he was stunned when he saw it.

    "I've never seen it before. It looks weird. Not to mention, it's pretty pretty."

    Damn, this is the batch of goods he sold, but in front of Gu Chu, can he admit it.

    "I've never seen it before?"

    Gu Chu knew that he was lying by looking at his dark eyes. He must have seen these things, and there is a high probability that they have something to do with him.

    "Wan San, I don't want you to make the same mistakes again and again. This time I came to you as your friend, and the next time I come to you, it may not be in this capacity."

    Gu Chu restrained his expression, his expression was indescribably solemn, at least Wan San was taken aback.

    "Stop, Deputy Captain Gu, how can someone like me be your friend?"

    Wan San was quite beautiful in his heart, but he laughed bitterly on his face, "I really haven't seen these things before."

    Gu Chu didn't speak, just stared at him without blinking.

    At first, Wan San was able to withstand it, but gradually, his eyes became sore, and his back became sweaty, and he didn't know where Gu Chu's aura came from. He Wan San was also a person who was a rascal and an idiot. Even then, she would be frightened by such a little girl.

    "Okay, just treat it as if I came here for nothing today."

    After reaching thirty thousand, she couldn't help but blink, and when she looked left and right but couldn't look directly at her, Gu Chu suddenly got up, turned her head and left.

    "head!"

    Hua Ying also stood up immediately, still wondering why he left.

    One step, two steps, without waiting for Gu Chu to take the third step.

    "Wait, wait, I seem to have such an impression, yes, yes, I remember."

    After all, Wan San was still guilty. He suspected that Gu Chu might have found evidence. The other party regarded him as a friend, so he was given a chance to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds. If he refused to admit it, he would offend Gu Chu thoroughly.

    After hearing his words, Gu Chu turned his head, took a deep look at him, and sat down again.

    The whole process did not take more than ten seconds. Hua Ying recalled Gu Chugang's control of emotions, movements, and language, as well as Wan San's changing attitude, and couldn't help shouting 666 in her heart.

    "It seems that I just sold this item not long ago. Hey, let me explain in advance. This item is also an old item that I took back from someone else. They said that this is a family heirloom of their family, not some stolen goods. .”

    Wan San didn't pretend to be self-confessed, obviously when he collected the things, he could tell that this thing was not an old heirloom, but a new product just dug out of the ground.

    Gu Chu didn't expose him, and let him continue talking.

    "It was the first time I met that seller. It was introduced by an old customer. The other party wanted to sell ten items at once. The old customer couldn't eat it, so he introduced it to me. I took the two cheapest items."

    Wan San pointed to a certain two antiques in the photo and said.

    "This thing looks novel, but there are quite a few people willing to buy it. I paid 180,000 to collect it, and finally sold it for 250,000. It's not bad."

    Wan San made a small fuss, but in fact, he spent 80,000 yuan to get those two things back.

    "Do you have the seller's contact information?"

    Gu Chu asked.

    Wan San shook his head, "The other party is very cautious. He wore a mask and hat on the day of the sale. I didn't see what he looked like, but I probably guessed where he is from."

    "That guy pretended to learn Cantonese, but who am I, Wan San? I've been on this street for decades. I haven't had any contact with customers anywhere in the south, east, west, and north. It's just my ears. There is a problem with his voice, and he is clearly from the central part of Yunnan in western Sichuan Province."

    Wan San looked proud.

    Western Sichuan, central Yunnan...

    For this familiar place name, Gu Chu's eyes were deep and his expression became indifferent.

    There was nothing more to ask, and after supper, Gu Chu asked Wan San to go to the police force the next day to find an artist to restore the masked face in Wan San's memory.

    Then the group of three separated.

    When she got home and walked to the fourth floor, Gu Chu felt her body was getting hot. This was a sign of a new task assigned by "One Hundred Thousand", so she speeded up and ran back home.

    It's too fast, only four days have passed since the last mission was completed.

    During the last mission, she also inquired with other readers. Shi Ren was right, the interval between each mission is relatively long, generally speaking, the shortest is one or two months, and the longest is half a year.

    But the time interval between Gu Chu's missions was too close.

    【He's been waiting for you for a long, long time, don't let him find you! Don't let him find you! 】

    The blood-red exclamation point seemed to carry an ominous sign.

    "Deputy Captain Gu! Deputy Captain Gu!"

    Gu Chu was woken up by someone, and when he opened his eyes, it was Wan San's wretched face.

    "Something happened, we were kidnapped."

    Wan San lowered his voice, looked nervously at the dilapidated and desolate buildings around him, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Gu Chu wake up.

    Kidnap?

    Gu Chu came back to his senses and realized that he had entered the story.

    But what happened to Wan San who appeared in front of her?
