When the witness in the case is a cat

The Criminal Investigation Team Leader Lu Zheng met Jie Qian, who was known as the pet communicationist. He was greatly inspired by the pet cat's confession and solved the case. From then on, the Criminal Investigation Team Leader Lu Zheng thought that he would definitely expose Jie Qian's scam in the future.

In the next few pet-related cases, Jie Qian learned key clues from the pet involved and all passed the verification. Jie Qian's secret help allowed Lu Zheng to solve the case successfully and was transferred to the first brigade responsible for the murder case as he wished.

The impossible fact was happening in front of us. After Lu Zheng was shaken, he still firmly believed that the special abilities to communicate with animals did not exist. Jie Qian's scam and his motives are also a mystery.

With Lu Zheng's temptation and investigation, the answer to Jie Qian gradually emerged, and there were two unsolved explosions that occurred in another place, a fleeing killer who was terrified, and a dog who escaped the explosion and witnessed the killer by chance...

Everything seems to have started from that day.

At noon on Friday, Lu Zheng had lunch in the canteen of the Municipal Bureau and had just returned to the office of the Third Criminal Investigation Brigade upstairs. He thought he would spend this week like this again, and he felt regret and emptiness. At this moment, he received a call from the command center.

Five minutes later, Lu Zheng led three subordinates from the Third Brigade, a total of four people drove to the crime scene.

The Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau is composed of the first brigade responsible for major criminal cases, mainly murder cases, and is responsible for major cases, mainly cases with complex cases, such as the second brigade responsible for cases such as rape and injury, as well as those who are not responsible for major cases and generally have no casualties in the case, mainly composed of the three brigades of theft and fraud cases involving relatively large amounts.

Although Director Xiao Linsheng always said that although the division of labor of the three brigades was different, they all served the people. In his mind, the status and degree of attention of the three were the same. Every time Xiao Linsheng said this, Lu Zheng felt that his uncle was deliberately guiding him - this nephew who was determined to be transferred to the first brigade to be responsible for the murder case.

Lu Zheng is the captain of the Third Brigade, and the command center has just assigned him to investigate a major theft case. The so-called extra-large refers to the stolen items being of great value. It is said to be an antique worth 800,000 yuan.

The crime was in a villa in a high-end residential area in City C. Lu Zheng brought one of his few subordinates into the scene and handed over to the police officers of the police station in the jurisdiction.

"Team Lu, this is the situation." The police looked at Lu Zheng with quite sympathy and led him into the scene. They ignored the awkward people in the living room and went straight to the study room, pointing to the exhibition items on the antique shelves on both sides of the study room.

"The owner's name is Xiong Zhi, and he is a famous antique lover collector in our city. Half a month ago, he also brought two collections to our city's treasure appraisal program. At that time, the expert group's identification result was that among the two porcelain bowls, the Ming Dynasty's Hetian jade bowl was a fake. Although it was a modern product, it could be worth thousands of yuan. The items stolen this time were the blue and white porcelain bowls that had been identified by the expert group, with a market value of 800,000 yuan, and during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty." The policeman said, pointing directly to the empty transparent glass cover in the center of the Boan Ancient Shelf. The meaning was obvious. The original placement of the Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain bowl was the Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain bowl.

Lu Zheng roughly scanned the other dozen other collections on the antique shelf. Each collection was covered with a heavy square glass cover. The glass was wiped very clean, and it was obvious that it was cleaned every day.

"A porcelain bowl is worth 800,000?" Lu Zheng sighed subconsciously.

The police officer was shocked, "I also watched that treasure appraisal program. Xiong Zhi's bowl was produced by a private kiln in the Ming Dynasty. If it were from an official kiln, the value would have to be several times higher. Oh, 800,000 is just a conservative estimate. It is not difficult to sell a million when encountering a suitable buyer."

"Can experts believe the words of these days? I think it is a gimmick arranged by the program team. They have long colluded to raise prices, just to help him find a surrender buyer..." Before Lu Zheng finished speaking, he heard a commotion in the living room.

The police officer hurriedly made a gesture of silence, "Team Lu, your words offended the four families, Xiong Zhi, the program team, experts and buyers."

Lu Zheng showed a disdainful expression, meaning that he would offend?

The police officer was amused and cried, and pointed at the direction of the living room with his eyes. "There are those four sitting in the living room now. In addition to the four of them, there is also the nanny Xiao Zhang at home and Xiong Zhi's son Xiong Songyuan. After hearing the reactions in the living room, they heard what you said."

Lu Zheng said it doesn't matter. He is here to handle the case, not to make friends, and he is not afraid of offending anyone.

The police still had a strange expression, and their sympathy for Lu Zheng was conveyed in their eyes, which aroused Lu Zheng's curiosity. They asked, "What? This case is not easy to deal with?"

The police nodded meaningfully and lowered their voices, "The things are indeed missing. The surveillance camera at the entrance door showed that the suspect had not left the room since entering. They were unwilling to leave after the incident. They all wanted to leave it for their innocence and were not afraid of the police searching. In my opinion, this is likely to be - it is impossible to commit a crime."

Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows and thought that this policeman must have read too many detective novels.

"How is it impossible?" Lu Zheng disagreed, and at the same time, he felt a little excited. He had a premonition that the case would be very interesting.

Police continued to introduce: In the treasure appraisal program half a month ago, Zhao Qian, the intention buyer in the living room, had already developed a purchase intention. Zhao Qian is not the sucker. He deliberately contacted the program producer Du Kexin and treasure appraisal expert Duan Minglang after the show to confirm again whether Xiong Zhi's Ming Dynasty porcelain bowl is genuine. Just like Lu Zheng suspected that this was a routine made by the program team and experts.. After confirming that the porcelain bowl is indeed authentic, Zhao Qian wanted to let them make a match for him to appreciate it with his own eyes and negotiate the price with Xiong Zhi in person.

Just this morning, 3 hours ago, Zhao Qian, Du Kexin and Duan Minglang came to Xiong Zhi's house together. According to the agreement, the four of them first appraised the treasure, then had lunch together, and then negotiated the price. Du Kexin and Duan Minglang are not both parties to the transaction, but they are also intermediaries. Both parties will definitely give them some minor intentions, and everyone knows this.

Before lunch, Xiong Zhi led three guests into the study, took out the blue and white porcelain bowls from the glass cover, and gave them to Zhao Qian to check. Zhao Qian was very satisfied. The next question was the price. Everyone planned to eat and chat. Then, Xiong Zhi put the porcelain bowl back in place under the gaze of the other three.

Just when the other three wanted to quit the study, Duan Minglang saw the Qing Dynasty Hetian jade bowl that was on the treasure appraisal program, which was verified by him as a fake.

At the beginning, Xiong Zhi expressed that he did not agree with Duan Minglang's identification of this bowl. Now, Xiong Zhi still put this modern product on the antique shelf and covered it with a glass cover, which Duan Minglang only found funny. He once again reminded Xiong Zhi that it would be better to put away the fakes, so as not to be laughed at by other experts.

Duan Minglang's words immediately changed the friendly atmosphere between several people. Although Xiong Zhi did not appear to be angry on the surface, he only snorted coldly, and Duan Minglang also responded with a disdainful smile. But in the later relationship, the relationship between the two of them was subtle, and they often ridiculed each other intentionally or unintentionally, which made the other two quite embarrassed.

After leaving the study, Xiong Zhi led the guests to the living room for tea. During the hour between treasure appraisal and lunch, the three guests sometimes drank tea in the living room, sometimes went to the terrace to enjoy the scenery, sometimes entered the kitchen, sometimes went to the bathroom, sometimes went to the wine cellar to listen to Xiong Zhi introducing the wine he collected. In short, everyone had to act alone and left the other people's sight, but one thing was certain, no one left Xiong Zhi's villa and had no chance to transfer the stolen goods. The reason why the police were so sure of this was because they checked the surveillance camera at the door of Xiong Zhi's house as soon as possible. The surveillance video shows that since the three guests arrived, no one left.

This is a high-end community, and cameras are installed at each door. Xiong Zhi’s house is on the 4th and 5th floor, and is a top-floor duplex. The first floor of the villa has a basement and a small courtyard, and there are also cameras in the courtyard. If someone wants to transport the porcelain bowls away from the window on the top floor, they can avoid the surveillance in the courtyard unless they are equipped with a drone to pick them up from the air. During lunch, the four people negotiated the price and finally made a deal for 920,000 yuan, of which 20,000 yuan was given to Du Kexin and Duan Minglang each with 10,000 yuan. Because the amount is not small, Zhao Qian needs two days to prepare, so the time to clear the money and goods is set the day after tomorrow.

Just when Xiong Zhi was planning to see off the guests, Xiao Zhang, the nanny at home, began to look for the pet cat Xibao at home.

Xiong Zhi and his son raised a ragdoll cat. It was a pure blooded ragdoll bought from abroad. It cost 100,000 yuan. It is known as the walking renminbi. It is loved by the father and son. The nanny simply regards Xibao as the eldest daughter of this family and dares not slackew at all.

After lunch, Xiong Zhi's son Xiong Songyuan opened cans for the ragdoll cat Xibao as usual. As usual, Xibao heard the sound of opening the can, no matter where it was or what it was doing, he could immediately hear the sound, but now he disappeared.

Xiong Zhi was busy seeing off guests, so Xiong Songyuan asked the nanny to find Xibao. The nanny searched everywhere, but couldn't find him. He said that Xibao might have sneaked in while the door of the room was opened, but no one was found. After closing the door, he was locked inside and couldn't get out.

Du Kexin said that it would be bad if she was locked in the study. What if the cat jumped up and down and broke the antique?

At that time, Xiong Zhi was not nervous at all. He led everyone to open the door of the study, saying that the antique must be safe and sound. The reason why he wanted to cover the antique collection with a glass cover weighing up to two kilograms was that Xibao was prevented.

As we all know, cats like to play with small and easy to move objects, so cat toys are all small objects. Not to mention that cats are not interested in large objects on the antique shelf, even if they want to play with them, they will not be able to shake them.

Xiong Zhi was full of confidence, but the screams of others slapped him in the face. He followed the horrified eyes of everyone and saw that the transparent glass cover in the center of the ancient shelf on the right was empty. The blue and white porcelain bowl of Ming Dynasty had been confirmed to be able to exchange Xiong Zhi for nearly one million yuan of goods!

means Xiong Zhi lost 900,000! This is a big theft.

When everyone gathered at the door, Xibao walked out of the desk in leisurely steps, and then it smelled the can and trotted towards the kitchen.

After listening to the police's introduction, Lu Zheng said that they would take over the next step and the police could retire successfully.

When he arrived at the living room, Lu Zheng first introduced himself to the six people, asked them to continue to stay in the living room for his interrogation, and then ordered his subordinates to take their own actions.

He assigned two tasks to his subordinates:

First, to verify whether the police's introduction was omitted, that is, to determine whether no one has left the crime time period through surveillance video, whether the video has been edited, and whether there are channels for others to not go out but may transfer stolen goods, including the possibility of drones mentioned by the police just now.

Second, search the entire home, check carefully inside and outside to see if there are any stolen goods in other places, whether they have just changed their locations, do the thief want to come here to take the stolen goods away from the scene in the future......
