Chapter 85 Half a Skull



Chu Jingqiu served Jiang Jiang a bowl of mutton, and Jiang Jiang ate happily beside her. She threw the clothes she had worn in the past few days into the washing machine to wash them.

Looking at the thick red plaid coat in the washing machine, I suddenly remembered that when I first met Xiao Yihan, he also bought me a red plaid shirt.

She felt that she really missed Xiao Yihan, that handsome man who infuriated everyone. She didn't know what he was doing now, and whether he was thinking of her. Should she write him a letter and tell him that she missed him?

——————

Beijing City, a certain military office.

Xiao Yihan has been so busy recently that he only eats two meals a day. He is investigating the possibility of whether there is a large amount of gold buried by the Japanese army in Daqingshan. Based on this, he can judge Ma Zhanshan's specific movements.

He and Qi Yue reviewed many archives about the area near Daqing Mountain, and finally found a record in an archive left by the Military Control Commission that on the eve of the Japanese surrender, they captured a group of young and middle-aged men from a village near Daqing Mountain, saying that they were helping to build bunkers.

After these young and middle-aged people left, none of them came back. Some said that they were sent to the country by the Japanese army to work as laborers, while others said that these people were worked to death.

These young and middle-aged laborers recorded in this archive were either sent away or helped the Japanese army do a very covert and important thing, so important that they had to be killed after they were done.

There is a large gold mine in the northern province, and the Japanese army mined a lot of gold there at that time. It is very likely that the Daqing Mountains contained a large amount of gold that the Japanese army could not take away at that time.

In this case, it is necessary to increase manpower near Daqingshan, one is to search for gold, and the other is to capture the spies who are looking for gold.

"Brother, have something to eat. I asked the canteen to cook some noodles with two poached eggs. Eat it first and then work." Qi Yue walked in from outside with two bowls of rice.

Xiao Yihan put down the documents in his hand and took the rice bowl from Qi Yue's hand. When he smelled the fragrance of the rice, he felt that he was starving.

He ate the noodles in big mouthfuls. He had never felt that a bowl of clear soup noodles was so delicious. It seemed that when people are extremely hungry, everything will taste delicious.

I had just finished my meal and hadn't had time to wash the dishes when the office phone rang. It was Mr. Xiao calling.

"Yihan, you and Xiaoyue come back. Something happened in Xiaoqiu's courtyard."

After Xiao Yihan insisted on his point, the Xiao family members stopped calling him by his nickname and started calling him by his full name.

When Xiao Yihan heard that something happened in Chu Jingqiu's family, he pulled Qi Yue out.

Qi Yue had just taken a bite of his second fried egg when Xiao Yihan pulled him up. He was reluctant to waste it.

He stuffed the remaining fried eggs into his mouth, grabbed a coat, and ran out with Xiao Yihan.

When we arrived at the courtyard, we found that Mr. He and Mr. Xiao were both standing in the courtyard.

The two men had serious expressions. "Grandpa, Grandpa He, what happened?" Xiao Yihan asked hurriedly.

Mr. He said in a deep voice, "A thief broke into the courtyard last night. He rummaged around everywhere, and when Old He found him, he knocked him unconscious and ran away.

Lao He's wife took him to the hospital, and he was fine. We then called the police, who also came to investigate the scene and determined it was a burglary.

Your grandfather and I feel that this matter is not that simple. No valuable things in the house were lost. They must have come for Baichuan's paintings.

I think they failed to search the house, so they just came here to steal."

Xiao Yihan went in and took a look, and found that the study was the most messy. The perpetrator did not leave any traces, so he was not an ordinary thief. He also agreed with Mr. He's judgment.

The last time it was a premeditated frame-up, and this time it was a purposeful theft, were enough to prove that their inference was correct, and the mastermind behind it was just after a painting.

What on earth was this painting for? The mastermind behind this is so cruel.

Chu Jingqiu had no idea what was happening at home. The postman had just delivered a letter and a parcel slip to her.

The letter was written by Xiao Yihan. He told Chu Jingqiu that both families knew about their relationship. What made him most happy was that Jingqiu's family was very satisfied with him.

Grandpa He also specifically told him to take good care of Chu Jingqiu, and Xiao Yihan also specifically told her not to go into the mountains as it was dangerous there.

He also sent her a package, please check it.

This sullen man finally said, "People say the sea is deep, but it is not as deep as my love for you."

She also sorted out some medicinal herbs yesterday, as well as some dried chicken and dried rabbit that she made herself, and sent one to Xiao Yihan and one to her grandfather.

After she finished writing the letter, she rode her bike to town to pick up the package. There were not many people at the post office today, so she sent the letter and package quickly.

When she took out the package Xiao Yihan sent her, she was shocked. The package was too big. She thought that if there was no weight limit, Xiao Yihan would not send her a home!

She had just strapped the large package onto her bicycle and was about to head back.

It was discovered that Director Gu Weimin and Chief of the Criminal Investigation Section of the Public Security Bureau Zhou Yiming were driving over on sidecar motorcycles.

"Chu Zhiqing, we just went to Qingshan Brigade to look for you. They said you came to the town to pick up a package, so we hurried over." Zhou Yiming said anxiously before the car stopped.

After Gu Weimin parked the car, Chu Jingqiu asked, "Section Chief Zhou, Director Gu, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Zhou Yiming looked around and said, "It's not convenient to talk here. How about this? Let's go to the police station and tell you the details."

Chu Jingqiu rode his bicycle and followed them to the police station.

When they arrived at Gu Weimin's office, Gu Weimin first poured a cup of tea for everyone, and Zhou Yiming told Chu Jingqiu the details of the situation.

"Chu Zhiqing, we called you here to have your skull reconstructed.

During this period, the construction team was building a mountain road in Daqing. During the construction, they dug up two corpses.

Because the remains are so old, and no clues to their identity have been found, we would like you to perform a skull reconstruction to confirm their identity."

Chu Jingqiu smiled and said, "Chief Zhou, that's no problem. I just want to ask you, are the skulls of these two bodies intact? If not, it will be very difficult to work on them."

Zhou Yiming paused and said, "This time is different from the last time. Both skulls only have half a face. We are a little worried that we won't be able to restore it.

We brought the skull here to show you if this half of the face can be restored. If not, it will probably become an unsolved case again."

Chu Jingqiu pondered for a moment, then replied cautiously, "Let me take a look first. I'll see the specific condition of the skull before I can give you an answer."

Zhou Yiming ordered the forensic doctor to get the skull. Chu Jingqiu saw his hands tapping the table rhythmically. It seemed that Section Chief Zhou was under a lot of pressure and was very nervous.
