Chapter 20: In order to delay Chen Qin’s sentence, he put his career at risk?
"What!?"

"Are you talking about the original version of the Yongle Encyclopedia?"

Liu Zhiming was horrified.

Yongle Encyclopedia!

The national treasure among national treasures!

It is the pinnacle of ancient Chinese encyclopedias!
It records various inheritances such as ancient astronomy, geography, yin and yang, and medical skills.

Many secret techniques that have been lost today are also recorded here!
It is not only a work of art, but also represents the cultural heritage of ancient China. It is a truly priceless treasure!

"Is it the original or a copy?"

Liu Zhiming asked again excitedly.

The Yongle Encyclopedia is divided into the original and the copy.

The original is the first edition of the Yongle Encyclopedia, which has never been published until now and has always been a legendary existence!
If it is really the original copy, it will cause a sensation across the country!

"It's the original!"

Chen Qin replied.

"hiss……"

"Are you sure you read that correctly?"

Liu Zhiming couldn't help but take a breath.

"It can't be wrong!"

"You have to trust my brother's judgment."

Chen Qin assured.

According to the original brother’s story, that is the original version!
"If it's true."

"You have done a great deed again this time!"

"Quick! Tell me in detail the location of the royal mausoleum and the Yongle Canon!"

Liu Zhiming shouted impatiently.

"According to my brother, they were invited by someone, a total of six people, to go to the Central Plains together and steal a royal tomb."

"There are countless treasures inside. In addition to the Yongle Encyclopedia, the total amount of stolen goods sold was 100 million."

"At the time, they felt that the Yongle Encyclopedia was too eye-catching and they did not dare to trade it, but they also did not want it to be lost overseas."

"Therefore, this unrealizable Yongle Encyclopedia has become the fuse for the uneven distribution of spoils!"

"They wanted to share the money, but they also didn't want to let go of the Yongle Encyclopedia. After a dispute, a war broke out!"

"In the end, the only ones who survived were my brother and Wang Shijing."

"After some discussion, they finally decided that my brother would take 90 million in stolen money, and Wang Shijing would take 10 million and a copy of the Yongle Encyclopedia!"

Chen Qin told the story slowly and leisurely.

"One hundred million!"

"Yongle Encyclopedia!"

"These national treasures and cultural relics were sold back and forth like this by you, and you even killed your own accomplices!"

Liu Zhiming's scalp tingled after hearing this.

Too bad!
No one died in the tomb robbery, but they all died due to the uneven distribution of the spoils!

When facing an accomplice, he really has the guts to do it!
"police officer!"

"It's not us, it's them!"

Chen Qin corrected.

“Can we analyze it ourselves?”

"Now what I want to ask is, where is the 90 million stolen money?"

Liu Zhiming had a cold face.

When Chen Qin was arrested, he didn't have a penny on him!
"He lost it all a long time ago!"

"Otherwise, it wouldn't have fallen to the point of kidnapping!"

Chen Qin smiled bitterly.

"Let me ask you again, their names, addresses, and the coordinates of the royal tombs!"

Liu Zhiming asked again.

"Wang Shijing, Ma Yan, Xue Yong, Lei Liang, Wang Fei!"

"The address is Xiaolin Village near Songshan Mountain in the Central Plains. There is a river over there. If you go up along the way, you can see a dragon-shaped mountain range."

Chen Qin replied.

"You remember it in great detail!"

"You really have a brother?"

"You really didn't participate in this?"

Liu Zhiming became a little suspicious.

"It's unfair, officer!"

“I’m such a good person!”

Chen Qin was helpless.

I knew Liu Zhiming would think this way!

Chen Qin knows so much and in so much detail!

There is no evidence to prove that he is the twin brother.

Anyone would think that these things were done by Chen Qin!
Fortunately, Chen Qin had saved the little girl and seized rock sugar, which made his identity a little clearer.

Although Liu Zhiming was skeptical, he at least believed what Chen Qin said.

This is the most important point for a death row inmate who is about to be executed at any time!
Otherwise, Chen Qin wouldn't even have the chance to speak!
"Sooner or later, the truth about whether a person is good or not will come out."

"And what about their addresses?" Liu Zhiming asked.

"From the accent of Wang Shijing, he seems to be from the northwest."

"He's in his thirties, a big square-faced man."

"I don't know about the rest. You need to check it out yourself. I believe it won't be too difficult."

Chen Qin replied.

"that's it?"

Liu Zhiming frowned.

This range is too large!
When do I have to find out?

"that's it."

Chen Qin nodded.

"I have to remind you."

"You can use new criminal facts to delay the execution, but you cannot deliberately conceal them and prolong the time it takes to solve the case."

"Otherwise, we will lose all trust in you and will execute you immediately!"

Liu Zhiming solemnly reminded.

"I see."

"But that's really all I know."

"That was the first time they worked together and they didn't know each other well."

Chen Qin smiled bitterly.

"All right."

"You stay here first, I'll go investigate!"

After Liu Zhiming finished speaking, he turned and left the interrogation room.

Some investigation.

Things were easier than he had imagined, and Liu Zhiming quickly found out everything.

In Xiaolin Village, there is indeed a hollowed-out royal tomb.

The accomplices Chen Qin mentioned were all recorded missing persons, including Wang Shijing!

In other words.

Chen Qin must have really stolen a lot of treasures, and the "Yongle Encyclopedia" may really be one of them.

However, the other details Chen Qin said may not be true!

Liu Zhiming thought about it again and again, then called Captain Lin and told him everything.

"It's very suspicious!"

"Even Wang Shijing is missing? So is he dead or alive?"

"Does the Yongle Encyclopedia still exist?"

Captain Lin frowned after hearing this.

"do not know."

"If Chen Qin takes action, with his strength, he would not be able to kill even ten people, let alone five!"

"Even if it wasn't him, but Brother Chen Qin, according to Wu Baoshan's confession, it would be no problem for this guy to kill five people!"

"From this, we can conclude that they have already divided the spoils unevenly, and Chen Qin has absolute strength, so there seems to be no reason to keep Wang Shijing."

Liu Zhiming analyzed.

"You mean that Wang Shijing might not be alive, and the Yongle Encyclopedia might not exist, and Chen Qin is just trying to delay his own sentence?"

Captain Lin asked.

"It's not impossible."

"However, this is just one of the guesses. The truth may be as Chen Qin said."

"That Wang Shijing might have changed his name and hidden himself."

Liu Zhiming expressed his thoughts.

Believing in Chen Qin is one thing, analyzing him is another.

As police officers, they have to list all possibilities one by one, including the possibility that Chen Qin is the real "death row prisoner"!

As for whether Chen Qin is good or bad, no one can be sure before the results come out, let alone trust him 100%!

"This is about the Yongle Encyclopedia. Whether Chen Qin is deliberately delaying or not, we have to investigate."

"Let's temporarily postpone his execution for a month!"

"If there is no progress after a month, no one can save him!"

Captain Lin thought about it and decided to give Chen Qin a chance.

He took a liking to Chen Qin and sincerely hoped that there was nothing wrong with Chen Qin.

However, if there is no progress in a month and no evidence is found against Chen Qin’s brother, then regardless of whether Chen Qin is pretending or not, according to the regulations, Chen Qin must be executed!

"A month?"

"Isn't it a bit too long?"

"Can this really be applied for?"

Liu Zhiming was shocked.

It sounds easy to postpone the death penalty, but in fact it requires layers of approval!
Yesterday's postponement was made one day because we had to save the little girl.

National treasures are important, but without substantial evidence and just a confession, it would be good enough if the death penalty could be postponed. But Captain Lin actually said he would postpone it for one month!

If there is no result in the end, Captain Lin’s decision will affect his career to a certain extent, and it will be more difficult to get promoted!

For Chen Qin, he put his entire career at risk?
