This time when he drew the cards, Bai Song was a little amused and helpless.
"Look at you, you're always busy with cases wherever you go. This can't be considered resting, it should be considered overtime." Xin Qiao laughed: "But, you said that the people on Yulong Snow Mountain are their people, so what do these people do?"
"You may not know," Bai Song said, "They are just ordinary police officers in the police station. Sometimes they are also responsible for the protection of some big guys. However, these tasks may not be announced until dozens of minutes in advance, and they don't even know who they are protecting. This tour guide is a good person, otherwise he wouldn't come to us for help today. He is definitely not a core figure. There is no need to make trouble for the core figure. Just let the Tourism Bureau impose a fine. And that kind of person would go to the Tourism Bureau with us, and he wouldn't drink so much today and say these things. After all, our identities don't look like policemen anyway."
"Well, so what do those people do?" Xinqiao blinked, feeling that Bai Song's description was confusing.
"How would I know... I don't have enough information..." Bai Song said, "But we can analyze it and rule out the possibility of digging for Cordyceps. From here, the only reason left is the one analyzed by Wang Liang."
"Bypass the checkpoint? Isn't that what drug traffickers usually do?" Xinqiao opened the map. "The area around Yulong Snow Mountain is not a border, and there are no large cities around it except Licheng. Is it necessary to go around here? It's too much trouble."
"Not really. The straight-line distance from here to the border is probably only about 100 kilometers. If you want to avoid all the roads and enter Sichuan, it is not impossible to take this route..." Bai Song said, "This is not a major drug smuggling channel, but it's hard to say..."
"You still think they are smuggling, right?" Xin Qiao asked doubtfully, "It's really exaggerated. Although we didn't climb to the top of a mountain over 5,000 meters high, there are many easy places to walk around. It's impossible for ordinary people to find a place to cross the snow-capped mountain over 4,000 meters high."
"Hmm..." Bai Song also expressed his doubts. It was the three people who had been caught in City B a while ago, but to be honest, that was already considered quite cruel.
As I mentioned earlier, this mountainous area stretches for hundreds of kilometers, and there are 13 mountains over 5,000 meters high. Does drug trafficking need to be so professional now?
"Given this situation, it can only be that these criminal organizations are looking for something," Bai Song said, "but we don't know what it is."
"Looking for something..." Xinqiao thought for a long time but still didn't know what to do.
"Okay, okay, this case has nothing to do with the one I dealt with before. I'll find some clues later and leave them to Ren Hao." Bai Song said, "We'll go back to Shangjing as usual tomorrow."
Hearing this, Xinqiao was obviously relieved. Although she was somewhat interested in the case, it was just an interest.
Many people would feel very excited and eager to participate in solving a big case if you asked them to do so. But no policeman's wife would want her husband to always have big cases.
After going through so much, no one would be willing to let their loved one experience danger so proactively, no matter how curious they are.
"This is not a case that has only been solved in a day or two. This little clue is not enough." Bai Song said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm not a child anymore."
…
The next day.
After getting up, Bai Song washed up as usual, went out for a run, and came back to bring breakfast for Xinqiao.
The altitude of Licheng is slightly lower than that of Lugu Lake. You won’t feel any running in Lugu Lake, so running in Licheng is naturally no problem.
After coming back, Bai Song received a call from the tour guide.
The tour guide was really nice. He called to apologize, saying that he hadn't made arrangements last night, and that he drank too much and took a taxi and left without knowing anything. He also told Bai Song not to leave today, and to meet up alone in the evening without his partner.
Bai Song felt a little embarrassed after hearing these earnest words. The other person really treated him as a friend, but he was always trying to trick him...
"I also want to go and see the auction you mentioned yesterday." Bai Song said.
"Brother, this is it. Although I go to many of these auctions, I drank too much last night. I won't hide it from you. I am a tour guide. Sometimes I take guests to certain places and I get commissions! I can't say there are many scammers, but the prices are all inflated!" The tour guide told Bai Song the truth: "However, I do know a real auction. So, if you want to come, you'd better bring a friend who understands jade and knows the market, and don't blame me in the end."
"You've already mentioned this, wouldn't it be too rude of me to say anything more?" Bai Song said, "It depends on your time. I can go and take a look."
Bai Song told Xin Qiao that he didn't care about the matter, but he had a clue now, so he had to investigate. He would pass it to Ren Hao when he left at night.
After having breakfast with Xinqiao, Bai Song went alone to find the tour guide to keep his appointment.
The auction is right next to the ancient city.
The so-called "next to the ancient city" means that the door opposite this place is the outer edge of the ancient city. You can see the scenery of the ancient city by opening the window from the second floor.
"Please have some tea first. We have some things here that you can take a look at yourself," said the waitress, a very elegant southern girl. She led Bai Song and the other person to the display area.
It is obvious at first glance that this is not the kind of kickback shop where tour guides take people to shop. The decoration is very exquisite and there is no sign.
Bai Song looked at some of the display containers with a blank expression on his face, and he was already speechless in his heart.
Any sign here is enough to buy him a car.
Actually, the balance in his card was enough to buy an ordinary item, but that didn't mean he was willing to spend it...
But when Inspector Bai saw these things, he felt like they were game coins and had no feelings at all. He even commented on them very calmly.
He thinks things that cost ten or twenty thousand are too expensive, but he doesn't care if they cost hundreds of thousands or millions because he can't afford them anyway.
Bai Song rarely comes into contact with jadeite, but it is not without experience. He found it in Li's safe. In addition, he also saw some on the two smugglers he and Ma Zhiyuan caught when he went to Li's hometown. They were all of very high quality.
Around 2011, unprocessed rough stones were worth more than a million yuan. It was of a high quality, so Bai Song simply chatted with them and impressed the waiters here.
This is the Lord who has eaten and seen it!
The tour guide didn’t expect that Bai Song had actually come into contact with high-quality goods, and said that this kind of goods can only be waited for at the auction.
But Bai Song's attention was soon attracted by something else, the Buddhist scriptures.
This is a very old Buddhist scripture. The sign below says it has a history of more than 200 years.
"What? Have you done research on this?" the tour guide asked curiously.
"This thing..." Bai Song looked at it carefully: "Forget it, let me take another look."
"I see you like it very much, why?"
"This... um... I like it, but this... price..." Bai Song wanted to say that the price was too expensive. Such a broken thing, but costing hundreds of thousands, it must be a lie.
"This gentleman is really an expert!" The girl was impressed: "This price is indeed low. I won't hide it from you. This is not a fake, but a copy of that era. The original is definitely not this price! For an expert like you, I will bring you over to see it..."
Bai Song: (⊙ o ⊙) I thought to myself, these few pieces of paper with no readable words are so expensive... This isn't money laundering, this is robbery...
