Chapter 221: Could it be reselling cultural relics?
"I don't know what this hole is used for." Su Niannian shone the flashlight to Gu Nan, and naturally saw the hole that appeared in front of Gu Nan.
This pit was obviously dug by humans, and something was buried in it.
And just now, for some unknown reason, someone came and took away the things inside.
He was in a hurry and did not even fill the hole with soil. Instead, he just piled some stones on it.
"Give me the flashlight." Gu Nan reached out to Su Niannian for a flashlight.
Su Niannian held the original kerosene lamp in one hand and handed the flashlight to Gu Nan with the other.
After Gu Nan took it, he carefully looked inside the pit.
Want to see if there are any clues.
As a result, Gu Nan actually found a piece of porcelain.
It's a very small piece, about the size of a little finger nail.
"What is this?" Su Niannian asked as she watched Gu Nan take out a piece of debris from the pit.
Gu Nan looked at it again and again.
"It looks like a piece of ceramic, but there is a tiny pattern here." Gu Nan didn't figure out what it was and handed it directly to Su Niannian beside him.
Use the flashlight to check again to see if there are any other clues.
Su Niannian took the ceramic fragments handed over by Gu Nan, put them in her hand, and observed them with a kerosene lamp.
The whole surface is white glazed, and the tiny curved pattern on it looks green.
Suddenly, a somewhat absurd idea appeared in Su Niannian's mind.
After thinking about it, I felt it was unlikely.
So, Su Niannian didn’t say much.
Gu Nan looked around but didn't find anything else.
There were two round marks on the soil inside the pit, as if something round had been placed there before.
Gu Nan pointed it out to Su Niannian.
Su Niannian also saw the two circular marks.
Maybe because it has been stored for a long time, the mark is still clear.
"Look, does it look like there are some plates, bowls, or vases left there?" Su Niannian murmured as she looked at the mark.
Gu Nan couldn't help but frown when he heard this. Combined with the ceramic fragments just now, this was indeed a possibility.
The two of them checked again and found nothing else around, so they roughly restored the stones here and left.
On the way, Su Niannian thought of a lot of things.
In her memory, the village chief's family was very rich in her previous life. Su Niannian always thought that the money was obtained through corruption and bribery.
But now think about it carefully, even if it was corruption and bribery, he was just the village chief of a remote small village.
Is it really possible to embezzle so much money?
Su Niannian felt a little strange, especially when she saw the ceramic fragment in her hand.
What Su Niannian had just thought of appeared in her mind again.
"What are you thinking about? Why do you look so serious?" Gu Nan walked beside Su Niannian and couldn't help asking when he saw Su Niannian frowning.
"Let's talk about it when we get home!" Su Niannian said to Gu Nan, then turned off the kerosene lamp in her hand and took the flashlight from Gu Nan's hand.
It was thrown directly back into the space.
Gu Nan had wanted to do this before, but he was afraid that Su Niannian would be scared walking at night.
Now that Su Niannian had put away the kerosene lamp and flashlight, Gu Nan naturally had no objection.
When the two returned, it was already night and every household had turned off the lights and gone to bed.
Walking in the village, you can occasionally hear the chirping of insects and birds, as well as the rustling of branches in the wind.
There is nothing else.
When the two returned home, there were no candles lit in their mother and eldest brother's rooms, which showed that they had already gone to bed.
After Gu Nan and Su Niannian returned to the room, they simply washed up and went to bed.
"You were outside just now, what did you want to say?"
Gu Nan hugged Su Niannian and asked in Su Niannian's ear.
"Do you think that the village chief's family is very rich?" Su Niannian murmured to Gu Nan.
Gu Nan thought about it and nodded.
"Then do you think that as the chief of a small village, can he get so much money even if he is corrupt and accepts bribes?" Su Niannian asked Gu Nan again.
Obviously, no!
Although Gu Nan didn't know how rich the village chief's family was, he did have two bicycles.
Bicycles are not cheap. In addition to bicycles, his family's daily food, clothing and other necessities are also very good.
So where does his money come from?
To put it bluntly, even if he withheld work points from many people in the village and allowed his family to go out and extort money from others, he would not be so rich.
This is like putting a mouse into a ten-kilogram rice jar. It will have at most ten kilograms of rice, but not a hundred kilograms of rice.
Combined with the fact that the village chief was afraid of seeing the police...
He felt that the village chief seemed to have a secret.
"You thought of that, too, right?"
"He is just a small village chief, and he has so much power, but he has everything he eats, wears and uses very well."
"Add to that the hole we saw today and the ceramic fragments, and the fact that he's afraid to meet the police, so it seems like there's something seriously wrong with the village chief!" Su Niannian said in a low voice.
Gu Nan nodded again.
Gu Nan also thought at this time that the two men pushing the wheelbarrows seemed to be strangers.
He shouldn't be from this village.
Although the distance was a bit far, but judging by the figure, Gu Nan felt that it was someone he had never seen before.
There is no way to correspond with the people in the village.
"Last time when Chief Lu was chatting with Brother Zhou after the operation, did he mention anything about selling national cultural relics?"
Gu Nan thought about what he heard when he was accompanying the old leader and listening to him chatting with Zhou Qishan.
This was also one of the reasons why the old leader arranged for Zhou Qishan to hide his identity and investigate the matter here.
It is said that in Long County, someone is reselling national cultural relics.
However, the work was done in a rather covert manner, the source of the cultural relics was unclear, and there has been no progress.
Now, combining Li Guofu's performance with today's discovery, Gu Nan feels that Li Guofu is very likely related to this matter.
Thinking of this, Gu Nan stood up, lit a candle, picked up the ceramic fragments he had picked up, and looked at them carefully again.
When Su Niannian heard Gu Nan's words, she combined them with her own guess.
When Su Niannian saw this ceramic fragment, she thought the glaze was very good and the lines on it were green in color.
The three words "blue and white porcelain" appeared in Su Niannian's mind.
But Su Niannian felt that it seemed unlikely at the time, so she didn't think about it too much.
Now with Gu Nan's words, Su Niannian connected all of this together and felt more and more that this was possible.
Su Niannian whispered her thoughts to Gu Nan.
Seeing that Su Niannian had the same idea as him, Gu Nan decided to take the ceramic fragment to ask Zhou Qishan tomorrow.
