v2 Chapter 213： Strange jade urn, bizarre death case

New York's Upper East Side, inside a villa.

In the early morning, the warm sunlight moved slowly and shone on the messy bed, causing Cao Guixin to slowly open his eyes.

"Hmm... This woman, why is her sleeping posture so wild..." Cao Gui, with a black line on his head, gently removed his legs from his waist.

Beside her, Beth was lying on the bed, resting on Cao Gui's arm, and Beth was kicked to the other side by her.

"I'm still sleeping on my stomach..." Cao Gui rolled his eyes. Originally, his chest was small. What if the pressure disappeared?

Cao Gui gently turned her around, but as soon as he got started, Beth quickly woke up.

"Cao, what's wrong?" Beth rubbed her eyes and asked suspiciously.

"never mind."

"Oh...ah~~" Beth yawned and asked suspiciously, "Are you going back now?"

"No hurry." Cao Gui shrugged: "Gwen is going to study the cells of the lizardmen, don't hurry."

"No wonder you have time to accompany me." Beth rolled his eyes and complained, then suddenly straightened his body, his eyes widened, as if thinking of something, he immediately got up and started getting dressed.

"What's wrong?"

"Honey, I found something good yesterday." Beth smiled, then got out of bed and rummaged.

"What?" Cao Gui asked in confusion. Could it be the new style of stockings?

"Hey, that's it." Beth took out a jade urn from a gift box... The jade jar is slightly yellow in color, soft and soft, a bit like Hetian jade, and it looks like this jade is of good quality.

Cao Gui has no research, so he can only see a rough idea, but... this thing is clearly something from ancient Egypt.

The lid of this jade urn is a jade statue with the head of a wolf.

"What is this?" Cao Gui looked left and right, the jar was one piece and could not be opened, there was no gap, so it could not be opened.

"Jade products." Beth smiled:

"I heard that the Chinese people like jade very much. In your 5,000-year history of civilization, the culture of jade runs through everything. From ancient times to the present, jade is the highest luxury and decoration."

"Uh...you're right." Cao Gui took the jade urn in her hand and read it again to confirm the origin of this thing:

"But isn't this thing from ancient Egypt?"

"It's all jade." Beth looked at Cao Gui a little puzzled. Is the same kind of thing different in these two places?

Cao Gui: "???"

Yes, it is jade, but this jade is from ancient Egypt.

"..."

"..."

The two stared at each other with big eyes, and didn't speak for a while, the air was inexplicably awkward.

"Cough, it's alright." Cao Gui flipped the jade urn in his hand: "Although it is ancient Egypt, it is quite beautiful."

"Uh... dear, don't you like it?" Beth Liu frowned, feeling cheated, not Cao Gui, but the one who sold her things.

"That's not true." Cao Gui shook his head, held her in his arms, and said in a serious manner:

"Jade is too complicated, and ordinary people can't tell the difference between good and bad. Heaven really likes jade, but in general, many of them are fake jade, so we rarely buy jade on our own initiative. The jade handed down from the elders."

"It turns out...that's it." Beth seemed to understand.

"Where did this thing come from?" Cao Gui's chin rested on her shoulder, and he kept pushing the jade urn in his hand. Although Cao Gui had his own way, this jade felt really good and was worth collecting.

"Bought it from an explorer." Beth rubbed Cao Gui's face and said softly.

"Explorer?" Cao Gui frowned. This so-called explorer can generally be translated as a cultural relic dealer, a tomb robber, or a robber.

Too many things in Dunhuang have been stolen by these so-called explorers, and so far they have not been able to find them back.

"Yeah, an explorer dressed as a western cowboy." Beth pointed her chin with her index finger and recalled a little:

"He was dirty, covered in yellow sand, and had several revolvers on him. I was playing in Whitney Chinatown and bumped into him. I saw something good and bought it."

"A suit of yellow sand? A western cowboy? Also with a revolver?" Cao Gui frowned slightly, feeling somewhat uneasy.

"Yeah, but he seems to be captured by nypd later." Beth nodded and said:

"He brought four revolvers by himself, and was directly disarmed by the patrol police. Fortunately, he was white..."

Hearing this, Cao Gui picked up the phone and called Harry:

"Harry, help me check nypd yesterday..."

"Around eleven in the morning." Beth bit Cao Gui's ear and whispered.

"A white man with a gun caught in Chinatown at 11 a.m., right...he's got four pistols by himself...good."

"Cao, is there something wrong with that person?" Beth asked suspiciously, always feeling that Cao Gui's reaction was a bit wrong.

"It's not, I'm just a little curious, where did this thing come from."

Cao Gui responded. He didn't know what to say. He couldn't say that the gift Beth bought him made him a little uneasy, right?

Not long after, there was a ding-dong on the phone, and Harry quickly sent the message back.

Seeing this, Beth hurriedly put her head close, she was also very curious, but soon, her face suddenly changed wildly, as if she saw something incredible.

Cao Gui's face was also solemn. The man was indeed taken away by the nypd, but Beth bought the jade urn for a hundred thousand dollars. After paying the money, the nypd quickly released him, and by the way, he also asked him to carry a gun. certificate.

After this person came out of nypd, he only had 60,000 dollars left on his body. This person didn't know what to think, didn't care about it, and happily took the money into a luxury hotel.

According to the consumption records passed on by Harry, this person has all the delicious and fun things in the hotel, and even ordered 3 Korean semi-permanents.

But that's not the point, the point is: he's dead!

Not only was he dead, but even the three Korean-style semi-permanents were also dead. The death was extremely miserable, his whole body was dry and looked like a skeleton. Not only that, but his skin was stripped away alive.

The corpse was nothing but white, dry and incomparably hard protein fibers, and no one would believe it was meat.

The three Korean-style semi-permanents were similar to him, all of them were drained of water, the difference was that the skins of the three of them were still there, and they were not peeled off like that person.

nypd has launched an investigation. This is the most central and prosperous Trang in New York... What a building, such a serious incident cannot be taken lightly.

According to police investigation records, they found six .45 acp bullets in the room were fired from the man's revolver, indicating that he had resisted.

The problem was that there was no trace of human tissue on the bullet, and no one was seen entering his room on the surveillance video.

Seeing this, Cao Gui and Beth looked solemn. Obviously, the jade urn in their hands was not a good thing.

"Cao, what should I do now?" Beth asked worriedly.

Cao Gui flipped through his phone and put a picture of an old man in a doctor's uniform and a doctor's cap in front of her: "Let's find him!"

"The deceased was a military veteran who had been hired by this doctor to go abroad, and they returned to New York together two days ago."

"Okay...Huh? How did you know about this?"

"In the information Harry sent, it seems that he not only found the database of nypd, but also the database of customs."
