Chapter 773 Fruits of Labor

"Let's start a video call." Cui Qishan took a sip of tea and didn't seem to be in a hurry.

Xiao Si hung up the phone and did as he was told. When he got through again, he saw meat residue hanging from the corner of Cui Qishan's mouth.

"It's here." Xiao Si turned the camera to the pit in front of him.

Digging a pit in the woods doesn't require machinery, only traditional hoes and iron shovels.

Several workers took shifts and were wiping their sweat by the pit. Two policemen squatted beside two suitcases, collecting evidence and taking photos.

"Did you find only two suitcases? Is there anything else inside?" Cui Qishan asked.

"It's hard underneath, so there shouldn't be anything buried. We're going to collect evidence and then expand it a little bit. If you come over now, you can just see it." Xiao Si shook the camera so that Cui Qishan and others could see it as clearly as possible.

"There's no body, right?" Cui Qishan confirmed.

"No, there's no sign of a body." Xiao Si seemed relieved.

Cui Qishan was still calm and composed: "Xiao Xiao, in this case, you should take command first. I will listen to your report tomorrow."

"Hmm?" Xiao Si didn't react for a while.

"Look around to see if there are any traces or anything. If there are any stolen goods, take them out together." Cui Qishan gave a serious command.

Xiao Si was confused and said, "Aren't you coming?"

"What should I do?" Cui Qishan smiled.

"No... now it's like this... you won't come if there's no body? Porcelain and bronze Buddha are also very powerful. These bronze Buddhas are auctioned for millions of millions each. There are two here. It is very likely that this is a cultural relic case worth tens of millions!" Xiao Si started typing on his mobile phone.

What's wrong with the captain? Can the captain not leave the scene?

What's wrong with it not being a body? Will you not pay attention to it if it's not a body?

"Xiao Si, you control the scene well, and keep updating the news in the group." Cui Qishan's voice was tepid, as if he had something in his mouth.

Xiao Si looked over and saw that it looked like he was chewing a piece of meat.

"Mr. Cui, have you had dinner?" Xiao Si touched his stomach. He was looking forward to eating some pork elbow or something.

Cui Qishan smiled dotingly: "There is no way. Since you called me, I can only work while eating...Okay, find someone to identify the authenticity of the antique. If it is real, file a case. I will tell you tomorrow if there is any situation."

Then, Cui Qishan hung up the phone.

Xiao Si slowly put away his phone.

In the evening in Beijing, the room was a little cool. There was a little wind outside the room, blowing on my body, and I felt cold all over.

But no matter how cold the weather was, it was not as cold as Xiao Si's heart.

"Director Xiao, are you going to continue digging?" The excavation team leader next to him was drinking tea with a smile on his face.

"Go ahead."

"One more dig will be a new pit."

"Okay."

"Okay, let's continue. From now on, it will be considered overtime!"

The excavation team picked up the hoe again.

Xiao Si sighed, took another short video and sent it to the group, and then started making various phone calls.

The next day.

The excavation team that had been digging all night went back to rest.

The new people began to familiarize themselves with the situation and protect the staggering Xiao Si.

He usually doesn't stay up late. He avoids work if he can. If he can't avoid it, he will play the victim and cheat. He is an early practitioner of lying down.

But today, he misunderstood when he accepted this job. After digging out the antiques, he couldn't get rid of it.

So he had to stay up.

After drinking some tea and eating some strange breakfast that came from nowhere, Xiao Si sighed again, took out his mobile phone to reply to a few messages, and then saw that the botanists were like tree-tailed monkeys. Not only did they climb the antique case to the sky, but they also started to hook up with all kinds of details.

There were even new people added to the group.

But seeing that the person who passed was Jiang Yuan, and the new joiner seemed to be a botanist from the school or research institute, Xiao Si didn't bother to care.

"There are no bodies at this point, let's go to the next point." Xiao Si said gloomily, and took people to the next point directly.

In the group, someone excitedly sent out a red envelope: "It's my turn, it's my turn!"

To be honest, ordinary people will never get this feeling when they spend money to open a blind box.

The botanist who came in later was even more envious and spoke repeatedly:

"Can we still choose?"

"Is it too late to mark it now?"

"Who has the material? I'll send my students to get it!"

Xiao Si looked at this kind of speech and felt helpless. While shooting a video for Xindian, he said while shooting the video: "If it's a professional, report to Team Jiang first. If you get permission, you can also mark the location."

He was originally sent out to dig up the body. Although he hasn't dug it up yet, didn't he dig up an antique box?

According to the police's standards, this is not a loss.

How can this guy who buried two suitcases in the wilderness be a good person? It may be an unsolved case that has not been solved even after spending tens of millions!

The people in the group naturally became more excited.

The daily life of botanists gives people the feeling of being dull and inarticulate, just like plants. In fact, it is true.

But according to the well-known law of contrast, such people are more talkative and have full social attributes when they are online.

Soon, the botanists who came before them began to share their experiences:

Pang Shiqiang from the University of Science and Technology: [Don’t worry, just choose when you should, no one has won anyway. ]

Su Lei from the Agricultural Research Institute: [Jiang Yuan will explain to you. When you mark and choose a location, it is best to write down the reasons and so on. This way, it will be easier to analyze when you explain it later. Especially for the later ones, after a long time, the ideas and moods at that time are different, and it is easy to forget. ]

Pang Shiqiang from the University of Science and Technology: [Yes, I have the format here. Friends who need it can come to me. ]

…

Xiao Si rubbed his head and felt that these botanists were too abnormal. Seeing that they were talking more and more heatedly, he also typed: [This is a very serious police work. Don’t treat it as a fun thing. Be respectful. In addition, marking the possible location of the body is also a very hard work. You have to spend a long time in front of the computer. Don’t think it’s fun! ]

The WeChat group that was chatting hotly was quiet for only a few seconds, and someone spoke silently:

Wang Yongchao from Agriculture and Forestry: [Digging up the body in the place you chose, isn’t this more interesting than eating the corn you planted? ]

Xiao Si was stunned. It actually… makes some sense!

The WeChat group became popular instantly:

Zhao Tan from the University of Science and Technology; [What Professor Wang said makes so much sense. ]

Su Lei from the Agricultural Research Institute: [Agree. ]

Pang Shiqiang from the University of Science and Technology: [Does it turn a stone into a corpse? Or does it pay off if you work hard? ]

Pop!

Xiao Si threw his phone into his bag. If you watch too many group chats like this, your mind will be confused.

The workers in the excavation team were quite happy.

They came to work with the money for digging corpses. Now there are no corpses, and it is clean, so they are naturally making money. Moreover, seeing that more and more pits are being dug, everyone feels that society is becoming more and more hopeful.

"Old Xiao, the team leader and Jiang Yuan are here together." Li Jiang came over and said.

"Let's welcome them." Xiao Si breathed a sigh of relief.

"Have you surrendered to power?" Li Jiang smiled.

Xiao Si smiled: "Give Jiang Yuan some face."

After a while, Jiang Yuan, Cui Qishan and others climbed up the hillside.

"Let's go and find the location of the antiques." Jiang Yuan took a deep breath and looked behind him: "Carrying two suitcases and burying them in such a far place, what does the other party want?"

"People in Beijing are quite special. They bury the bodies in such a deep woods, unlike us Shannan people, who just bury them on the roadside." Mu Zhiyang also analyzed with emotion.

"Two boxes, at least two people are needed to move them." Jiang Yuan analyzed and said, "Digging the soil is tiring, let's go and take a look."

Cui Qishan followed him with his head down. From his point of view, this case is not easy to solve.

There must be no fingerprints in the suitcases, and the antiques have been wiped clean. Although the official appraisal report has not been issued yet. But it has been identified as authentic without a doubt.

Such valuable antiques have been placed here for so many years, and no one knows where they came from or where they went. The owner did not come to take them... Maybe the person died unexpectedly.

"How is it?" Cui Qishan waited for Jiang Yuan to finish looking at the pit where the antiques were found before asking another question, and emphasized: "Let me make it clear first, this case is not worth investigating."

"Then forensic botany." Jiang Yuan muttered, and several people looked at Xiao Si.
