C487 Strange Book Disorientated(part Ii)

"South of Yan Jing, let me think …" After Xiao Xingshu heard Lin Bai's words, he fell into deep thought. After a moment, he clapped his hands and said to Lin Bai, "Most of the people from the Palace Museum live in Yan Jing. However, most of them are arranged to live in houses in the northern suburbs of Yan Jing.

"Who is it?" When Lin Bai had calculated the identity of the thief who had stolen the Pushback Map , he had been worried that if the Palace Museum lived in the southern part of Yan Jing city and had too many people, searching for it would not only be like searching for a needle in a haystack, but also an act that would alert the enemy. Now that he heard Xiao Xingshu say that there was only one person, his face couldn't help but be filled with joy.

"It's Gong Yu, the director of the Antiquities Centre of the Old Palace Museum. However, I don't think he'll have anything to do with this …" After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Xingshu continued, "Director Gong is a very sincere person and has worked at the Ancient Construction Repair Center for most of his life. In a few days, he will retire. He shouldn't do such a thing!"

"It's better to go investigate. Right now, I can't say for sure!" Lin Bai shook his head and said softly. The reason he did this was because he was confident in his skills in photographic skills. On the other hand, it had been proven that the closer he got to the threshold of retirement, the easier it was for these people to do things that were completely different from their nature.

Xiao Xingshu did not say anything as he scanned the hall. He looked at the two of them timidly and said, "That's fine, I'll bring you two to him. But let's just go over there and not greet Director Cao. Is that alright? "

Cao Jianzhou was currently the head of the department, so how could he, Xiao Xingshu, dare to neglect such people? Now that he was on the verge of taking a step forward or retreating, his heart was more than willing to interact more with Cao Jianzhou so that his career would be smoother.

"Forget it." Brother Cao, wait for my reply. " With that, Lin Bai saw a look of disappointment on Cao Jianzhou's face. He was a person who understood what was going on, so he instantly understood Xiao Jiu's thoughts. Smiling, he said, "Dean Xiao, you can rest assured that once we find the Back Push Diagram , I will definitely set up a banquet and invite you to have some time with Brother Cao!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Jianzhou was unable to contain his joy. Without hesitation, he stretched out his hand to rub his head and said with a smile, "Then many thanks, Young Master Lin. Let's go. I'll take you to Director Gong's house."

Along the way, Cao Jianzhou told the two of them a lot about Gong Yu. In his mouth, Gong Yu could be said to be an old ox that could be said to be free to work. He had done his best to renovate the ancient buildings, and according to Cao Jianzhou, when Gong's wife was giving birth to a child, he was not present, but was trying to overcome the problem of repairing the golden bricks on the ground.

The most important thing was that Gong Yu's ancient refurbishment center could be said to be the thickest and most oily office in the Palace Museum, but Gong Yu was not like that at all. He had strictly checked and approved the materials and buildings for the refurbishment, and now that the Palace Museum was able to maintain its former glory perfectly, it could be said that he had made a huge contribution!

Hearing these words, Lin Bai couldn't help but doubt his own deduction. How could someone with such an extraordinary temperament and character possibly collude with others to steal something from the Palace Museum?

When he arrived at the door of Gong Yu's room, the doubt in Lin Bai's heart towards his own deduction deepened. Normally, people with status like Gong Yuzhi would be able to live in a nice house in Yan Jing city's Third Ring Area even if they weren't separated by a room. However, Gong Yuzhi actually lived in a courtyard with several families living together.

"Director Xiao, isn't there a house assigned to these employees by your Palace Museum? Why is it like this for Director Gong's house?" Shen Lingfeng's heart was also filled with doubt. After looking at the messy pile of junk in the yard, he asked.

Xiao Xingshu gave an embarrassed smile and said, "This is also one of Old Gong's pure and noble character. At the start, Old Gong gave the opportunity to the experts due to the lack of resources in the Museum. "Later on, when the conditions were met, Old Gong felt that it would be fine if he lived here. He gave the opportunity to separate rooms to those young people in the unit who need a new marriage!"

The price of housing in Yan Jing city was the highest in the country. Even if the location of the houses allocated to the Palace Museum was a little remote, it could still be sold for one or two million yuan. However, this person did not hesitate to give his chance to someone else.

"Principal Xiao, stop ridiculing me in front of the customers! This courtyard can shelter us from the wind and rain, and we only have one daughter. It's not a big burden for those young people to get married and get a new house, and my old bones won't live for many years, so giving it to them is nothing. " Just as the three of them were exchanging pleasantries, a 50-60 year old middle-aged man walked out from the room and said with a smile.

Hearing the sound of voices, Lin Bai looked towards the source of the voice. This person was around 1.75 meters tall, had a slim and handsome figure. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and exuded a thick aura of calligraphy. This was not like someone dealing with ancient buildings, but more like an old professor teaching at a university.

"Principal Xiao, who are these two?" While Lin Bai was sizing up Gong Yutian, Gong Yutian was also sizing up Lin Bai and Shen Lingfeng. Seeing that the two of them looked unfamiliar, he turned to look at Xiao Xingshu and asked with a smile.

The embarrassment on Xiao Xingshu's face became even deeper. After hesitating for a moment, he smiled and said, "These two are members of the Forbidden City's burglary squad. They have come to find you to understand some things!"

"Principal Xiao, you don't have to be so hard to do. The matter of the museum's theft is a matter of utmost importance, and it is normal for you two to look for me." On the other hand, Gong Yuzhi did not have the slightest bit of nervousness on his face. He extended his hand towards the house with a smile and said, "Please sit in the rooms. I'll go make some tea for all of you."

Looking at Gong Yuzhi's busy figure in the room, the doubt on Shen Lingfeng's face deepened. He nudged Lin Bai with his elbow and said in a low voice, "Lin Bai, did you miscalculate!? No matter how I look at it, this Director Gong does not look like a bandit! "

Lin Bai shook his head, not saying a word. Just like Shen Lingfeng, he was also filled with doubts. Gong Yu's words were filled with an extremely strong calmness, and towards his group of people, it could be said that he was extremely magnanimous. He really didn't seem like the sort of person who did something shameful.

"Drink your tea, you three!" "I don't have any good tea leaves at home, sorry for the trouble." While speaking, Gong Yuzhi walked over with a teapot. He poured tea for the few of them as he continued with a smile, "If the two of you have any questions, feel free to ask them. The two of you will find the real culprit behind the theft of cultural relics!"

"Alright, then we'll directly ask. Where were you last night, Director Gong? Have you been contacted by any strange people recently? " Shen Lingfeng took the teacup and asked Gong Yuzhi with a serious expression.

Gong Yu Zhi shook his head and said softly, "I don't like to socialize, so there are very few people who can interact with me. Moreover, there has been a lot of fog in Beijing recently, and some of the chemicals have greatly affected the ancient buildings. I have been busy recently with this matter, and Director Xiao can bear witness to it. I was at home reading last night, and it was only this morning that I got the news that the museum had been stolen. "

"Director Gong is right, I can testify for him on this point." "Old Gong likes to read books. Sometimes, there are gatherings and other things in the museum that he doesn't want to go to. As for the meals of the suppliers of materials needed to repair and build ancient buildings, he avoids it even more. Most of the time, I force him to go because of me." Xiao Xingshu nodded and said.

Shen Lingfeng looked towards Lin Bai when he heard what he said, but he noticed that Lin Bai did not seem to be listening to what he and Gong Yuzhi were saying at all. His eyes were only focused on Gong Yuzhi's face while he was thinking about something. After hesitating for a while, he asked Gong Yuzhi, "Then, Director Gong, do you have permission to enter or leave the vault?"

"Although we are burdened with the maintenance of ancient buildings, it actually includes some planning of the museum's internal facilities. After all, if the Building Bureau isn't appropriate, it will affect the looks of the ancient buildings. Therefore, the vault is also under the responsibility of our Ancient Construction and Repair Center, so naturally, I have the authority to do so. However, I am not the only one who knows the password to the vault. Principal Xiao also knows the password, so he is also suspected. "

Gong Yuzhi smiled as he teased Xiao Xingshu, then retracted the smile on his face and said with a stern face, "You two, I assume that before you came, you also knew that I, Gong Gong, was that strong. If my greed was that strong, I would have already taken in the ill-gotten wealth of the construction contractors.

"Bureau Chief Shen, Young Master Lin, I think we've pretty much finished our investigation." I know old Gong's character very well. With his character, he would never get involved in this matter. How about I take you guys to see someone else. Seeing the sullen expression on Gong Yuzhi's face, Xiao Xingshu hurriedly turned around and looked at Lin Bai and Shen Lingfeng as he spoke slowly.

Shen Lingfeng had an awkward expression on his face. Asking a honest and honest person like him was indeed against his nature. After hearing Gong Yu's words, he turned around and looked at Lin Bai, indicating with his eyes if he wanted to end this conversation.

"Manager Gong, although your house is narrow, it is orderly arranged. I'm sure that your wife is a good wife and mother. I wonder where she is right now. Can you invite her to meet us?" Just when Shen Lingfeng saw Lin Bai turning a blind eye to him and was about to ask, Lin Bai suddenly smiled and stared at Gong Yuzhi as he asked.

Hearing this, Xiao Xingshu and Shen Lingfeng looked at each other. They didn't know why Lin Bai suddenly mentioned the theft of the Palace Museum to his daughter-in-law. Could it be that he wanted Xiao Xingshu's family to act as a role model for them?

Lin Bai said with a faint smile, "I have a thousand old grudges against me. I hope that Director Gong will not ruin half his life's reputation on the last post!"
