    "Premeditated!"

    This was the first thought that occurred to Meng Zitao. The old man had been waiting in the hotel for almost two hours, but there was no sign of anyone there. When the old man came out, he encountered a car accident, and the vehicle that caused the accident actually ran away. How could it be possible?  Are there so many coincidences?

    When the cameraman saw that it was the old liar who got into the car accident, he was also shocked and exclaimed: "Why is it him!"

    Meng Zitao and the others arrived quickly. Although the old man was seriously injured, he was not dead on the spot. He tried his best to open his eyes. When he saw Meng Zitao, his eyes were still bright. He raised one hand tremblingly and said something in his mouth.  The whimpering sound came out not as sound but as bright red blood.

    Before anyone could understand what he wanted to express, the old man suddenly let out a long sigh, and the hand he wanted to raise fell to the ground, making no sound again.

    A living person disappears in the blink of an eye, leaving the surroundings in silence.

    It was Meng Zitao who reacted first. He checked the old man¡¯s vital signs and confirmed that he was dead. Then he took out his gloves and put them on himself.

    "Brother Zhang, please help me take a photo."

    "Ohok." The cameraman quickly turned on the camera to take pictures.

    "In addition, please call the police and maintain order among the people around you. Don't let them come in and destroy the scene."

    While speaking, Meng Zitao, who was wearing gloves, began to check the things on the old man's body. The old man's actions just now must be to tell himself and others that the murderer was related to the things he was carrying.

    Meng Zitao first took out ordinary items such as mobile phones from the old man¡¯s outer pocket. He asked Qian Siling to go to the restaurant to get a clean plastic bag and put all these items in order to avoid contamination.

    ¡°All Meng Zitao¡¯s actions were so formal, Qian Siling thought that Meng Zitao was an experienced criminal policeman.

    After that, Meng Zitao checked the pocket of his underwear again and took out a photo with one corner stained with blood. This was the reason why Meng Zitao was eager to search for the old man's belongings, because blood stains would also contaminate the evidence.

    "This should be a bronze ware, right?" Qian Siling couldn't help but be curious and stepped forward to take a look.

    Meng Zitao nodded and said, "Yes, the photo shows a bronze lei [l¨¦i], and it is also a square lei."

    Lei is a large wine vessel and ritual vessel in ancient my country.  Popular from the late Shang Dynasty to the mid-Spring and Autumn Period.  The body is slightly smaller than the Yi. There are two types of Yi, square and round. The square Yi appeared in the late Shang Dynasty, while the round Yi was available in the Shang Dynasty and the early Zhou Dynasty.

    Lei has been popular for a short time, is complex to cast, is rare in quantity, and is rare to see.  According to incomplete statistics, there are only a few dozen pieces of Fang Lei from the late Shang Dynasty to the early Western Zhou Dynasty. Most of them are stored in major museums or research institutions around the world. A small number are collected in private hands. They are occasionally circulated, which means they have attracted much attention and are expensive.

    Therefore, the value of the Fang Lei in the photo is quite high. It is very likely that the death of the old man is related to the Fang Lei in the photo.

    After that, Meng Zitao did not find anything else on the old man, and at this time, the police also arrived.

    Originally, the police were angry when they saw Meng Zitao acting without permission, but after Meng Zitao took out his ID, they said nothing more.

    After Meng Zitao took off his gloves, he called his colleagues and used the old man¡¯s mobile phone number to investigate the person¡¯s details.

    "Brother-in-law, are you from the intelligence department?" Qian Siling was so curious about Meng Zitao's identity that she couldn't help but ask.

    "Don't make random guesses, and this is not something you should know." Meng Zitao smiled. After putting away his phone, he looked at the photo through the plastic bag.

    Although Qian Siling is very curious, she grew up in an official family, so she naturally knows that there are some things that she should not ask more about. Even if she knows, it will not do her any good, so she can only hide it.

    The square Lei in the photo is like a verandah-style roof, with a rectangular plane and a button on the top, shaped like a miniature cover.  The body and neck of the vessel are relatively high, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom.  The shoulders are plump and round, with a crotch on each side.  The abdomen is high and deep, downward and adducted, and there is a flat bottom under the front part of the abdomen.

    From top to bottom, the square lei can be divided into five layers of decorative bands, covering the cover, neck, shoulders, upper end and lower end of the abdomen.  In the photo, you can see animal face patterns, cloud and thunder patterns, and pointed bird patterns.  Among them, the bird patterns are exaggerated, the eyes are enlarged and almost fill the entire head, the long beak extends forward, the tip is folded down, and the corners at the back of the head are like pointed ears.  This type of bird pattern became popular in the late Shang Dynasty and early Zhou Dynasty, and the body was often simplified in appearance.

    Meng Zitao sighed: "What a treasure! It's a pity that it's just a photo. It would be great if it was the real thing."

    "Is this thing expensive?" Qian Siling asked curiouslyAfter all, his arms couldn't twist his thighs, so even if he was 10,000 times unhappy, he had no choice but to agree.

    Finding a secluded place, Meng Zitao first asked the stall owner for detailed information, and then asked the same question again.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know his real name either. I just call him ¡®Lao Hu¡¯, which is the ¡®fox¡¯ of fox.¡± The stall owner replied honestly.

    "How did you know him?" Meng Zitao asked.

    The stall owner said: "Actually, it's quite strange. He took the initiative to come to me and said he could help me do what he did yesterday. After that, he only needs a little profit, but I have to help him collect things.  .¡±

    "what?"

    "It's just some ancient gadgets, such as some parts of bronze vessels, or damaged fragments."

    Meng Zitao had some speculations about this, because these utensils can be used to repair bronzes.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
