At this time, He Yizhi suddenly said, "By the way, Chief, I forgot an incident. I found this thing at the scene." As he said that, he opened the drawer, took out a cloth bag, and handed it to Zhou Mian. He said, "We have found that this thing is inserted into the door frame now, so we pulled it down and put it away. This is not something from the mansion, it should be left by the thief."

Zhou Mian originally wanted to wear gloves to pick it up, but after hearing what he said, he knew that the fingerprint on it must have been destroyed, so he took over the cloth bag without gloves. When he opened it, he found that it was an iron-cast double swallow-shaped object, about 10 cm long, but the tail was cut and sharply ground, which was obviously a dart-like weapon.

After several years of training in the police system, Zhou Mian often deals with the gray areas of society, so he has a certain understanding of the situation in this era. This thing is like a unique weapon left by a certain gangster. It seems that this case also involves gangsters and lakes!

Although the elders have read martial arts novels or films and TV series in the old time and space, and most people have had martial arts fantasies, in this era, the East China government's attitude towards the characters in the rivers and lakes is indeed quite unfriendly, because the rivers and lakes are two naturally opposed classes, and the court needs order, but the rivers and lakes have their own set of rules of conduct. Therefore, the Chinese courts have basically held negative views on the rivers and lakes, but most local officials do not want to cause trouble, and basically turn a blind eye to the characters in the rivers and lakes. As long as they don't make too much trouble, they are too lazy to pay attention to them. Most rivers and lakes also understand the degree of contentment and will not play the line when maintaining the rules of conduct of the rivers and lakes. Although a few people occasionally play too much, overall, the two have reached a delicate balance and survived together.

But the East China Government does not want to live with the world, because in terms of the whole and essence, it is a gray area between the government and the people. What the East China Government needs is a comprehensive control of the country and will never allow a vacuum or gray area to be left in its own ruling area. At the same time, the people in the world are unwilling to accept control and legal constraints and like to act according to their adaptability.

In addition, although there are indeed some chivalrous people among the jianghu characters, and even when the country is in danger, some people stand up and resist bravely, but the vast majority of jianghu characters can be regarded as criminals strictly, and some jianghu sects are even more gangs of gangs of old time and space. This is something that the East China government will never allow. As a modern country, no one or any organization can be overwhelmed by politics and law. Therefore, the East China government’s suppression of jianghu is quite strict, and it does not give jianghu any vague space at all.

Of course, the real martial arts is not what everyone has peerless martial arts, at most, it is stronger than ordinary people. One can beat ten people. In the face of modern weapons, they are naturally trash. Therefore, under the strong suppression of the East China government, the forces of the Jianghu suddenly disappeared and collapsed, and the Jianghu sects were disbanded or transformed into modern factories. The Jianghu characters either fled from a foreign land, worked in farming and working, and were honestly a good citizen. Unexpectedly, they had to deal with the Jianghu again in Beijing.

Moreover, what He Yi said was inserted into the door frame, which shows that the criminal was deliberately left behind, not a mistake and lost. This is the practice of self-registration in the world, and it is a useful clue.

Of course, Zhou Mian cannot see anything from this Shuangyan Bing. After all, he is not familiar with the world and is even more unfamiliar with the world in the north. Therefore, he needs to find people familiar with the affairs of the world in this area. So Zhou Mian handed the Shuangyan Bing to Chen Jibai and said, "Put it away first, let's go to the crime scene to see."

So, under the leadership of He Yizhi, Zhou Mian and his group came to the main hall of Prince Gong's Mansion. This was the place where two generations of Prince Gong handled the affairs of the royal palace. There were two rooms on the left and right of the main hall, with an area of ​​about 150 square meters.

According to He Yizhi's introduction, after the East China Government collected the Prince Gong Mansion, the place here was wide, so it is now used as a warehouse, and many small utensils from the Prince Gong Mansion were placed, which were listed in a wide range of categories. Usually, the door was locked and only came in to check it every few days. Of course, the lock has been changed now, but the old lock was not thrown away. He Yizhi took it away and took it out for Zhou Mian to see it.

The fingerprint on the lock must have been damaged, but there are obvious scratches on the keyhole, which means that it is opened with something like a fine steel cable, which further shows that the criminal this time is a skilled habitual criminal.

Zhou Mian asked Chen Jibai to put away the lock, and then carefully observed in the house. There was a layer of floating dust on the ground. It seemed that no one had entered for a while. In the original environment, the footprints of the criminal could be clearly left behind, but the footprints on the ground were now messy, and it was impossible to tell that they were the footprints of the criminal. Zhou Mian was also quite helpless. He Yizhi pointed out that Zhou Mian showed Zhou Mian where the three items were stolen were placed, and there was obvious placement outline, but no fingerprints were found, so it did not have much value to the case.

Then He Yizhi pointed to a narrow slit on the door frame and said that the position of the double swallow darts was here. Zhou Mian asked Chen Jibai to take out the double swallow darts and insert it through the gap. The depth was about 2 cm. Although it was inserted on the wood, the hand strength was not small.

At this time, Feng Yu said: "Chief, come here."

Zhou Mian walked over when she heard the sound and saw Feng Yu pointing at a black object about 2 cm on the ground and said, "This should be a piece of fire."

Zhou Mian nodded and said, "Pick up the bag and take it back for testing."

Then Zhou Mian walked around the house again and found no valuable clues. So he asked Feng Yu to take a few suspicious points and then took people out of the house. He Yizhi asked him to lock the door again, and then called Chen Jibai. Feng Yu each took an assistant to check the surrounding area. He and He Yizhi returned to the dormitory and took turns asking the people who lived here. The questions were actually basically the same, which was what they did last night and had suspicious discoveries. Because they lived in the same room, they asked about the situation and performance of another person who was in the same room with them, etc.

After asking more than 10 people, Chen Jibai and Feng Yu came back and said that there was a new discovery. However, Zhou Mian still asked everyone, and then came to the place where there was a discovery with Chen Jibai and Feng Yu.

It turned out that the new discovery was that on the wall on the west side of Prince Gong's Mansion, several very clear footprints and pedal marks were found on the wall. The footprints were divided into two sizes. After measurement, the large footprints were about 40-41 yards and the small footprints were about 35-36 yards. It seemed that there might be two criminals who entered the location of Prince Gong's Mansion from here. However, the outer wall of Prince Gong's Mansion was nearly 4 meters high, and the wall was covered with tiles. If there were no corresponding tools, even if two people cooperated, it would be quite difficult to climb the wall with bare hands. If this could be done, it would be very good to do the two criminals.

In addition, there are several clear white and gray footprints on the ground. Obviously, after stepping through the white wall, the soles of the feet were stained with white and gray on the wall. Although the steps disappeared after only 3 or 4 meters, the direction pointed out was exactly where the stolen main hall was located.

After taking pictures of the footprints, Zhou Mian ordered Chen Jibai to check on the wall at the same place outside the mansion to see if there were still the same footprints. He ordered Feng Yu to follow the direction pointed by the footprints, and then go to the stolen main hall to see if there were any new discoveries. Then he asked He Yizhi to find a wooden ladder and climb to the wall to see.

Sure enough, the tiles were found damaged on the wall, but there were no traces of hooks, which meant that the criminal had indeed climbed over the wall and jumped into the mansion with bare hands. Chen Jibai also found the same footprints on the wall at the same place outside the mansion. In addition, Feng Yu also found several similar footprints on the way to the stolen hall, and also found a fire broker that had been burned. Therefore, it can be completely confirmed that the criminal's location was here.

This is another gain from the reconnaissance scene today. Therefore, Zhou Mian was also very satisfied. He borrowed the stolen information on the items stored in the main hall from He Yizhi and brought the people back to the police station.

They spent most of this trouble and returned to the police station at almost 4 pm and didn't even have lunch. Zhou Mian immediately handed over the clues and information he found today to the relevant departments for submission, and he looked through the relevant information himself.

It turns out that the three items stolen are all very famous. The Buddha statue is full of copper gilt and about 32 cm high. It is not surprising that the material is made of, but the production date was during the Shunzhi period and has a history of more than 240 years. It can be regarded as ancient and is made of official products, so it is even more valuable. The pair of kirins is 25 cm long and is carved from high-quality Hetian jade. The material alone is valuable. Although it is closer to the Buddha statue, it is also a product from the Yongzheng period and has a history of more than 160 years.

It can be said that these three items are of great value. Any one is worth more than thousands of silver dollars in the antique market. Among the items stored in the stolen Zhengtang, they are among the best. Moreover, this is limited by the smaller size. If it is enlarged, the value will be higher. Of course, it is precisely because these three items are smaller in size and easy to carry, so they have become the target of the criminal's stealing this time.

Looking at the records of the people living in Prince Gong's Mansion, I didn't find much valuable things, because the mutual statements can basically correspond to each other. Last night, these 16 people were resting in the room where they lived, and went out to chat in other people's rooms, and went to the toilet. There was basically no time to commit the crime. Of course, it is not ruled out that someone would commit the crime while his companions were asleep, but there was no relevant evidence, so this possibility was not high.
