Chapter 460 The Mysterious Executioner
"The old owner is really high-spirited!"

Wei Qing gave the old owner a thumbs up, with a look of admiration on his face, there are not many people who are not greedy for money these days.

"It was the younger generation's fault just now. I shouldn't use money to insult you, but I really like this colorful Luan jade." Since the old owner is not greedy for money, Wei Qing can only exchange things for things He took off the Buddha relic from his wrist and said with a smile, "How about I exchange this for your colorful Luan jade?"

Wei Qing took out the Buddhist relic that Li Jiachun had cultivated.

As the owner of a collection hall, he has naturally heard and seen Buddhist relics.The old owner held the Buddha relic in his hand, looked at it with a magnifying glass, and said in astonishment: "This is really a Buddha relic. This is the first time I have seen such a pure and lustrous Buddha relic. There are actually three auspicious clouds inside the bead. What a shame!" How rare!"

"It seems that this colorful Luan jade is not simple."

The old owner is not stupid, he naturally understands the value of this Buddhist relic, and at the same time indirectly sets off the preciousness of the seven-color Luan jade.

Wei Qing smiled and said: "Actually, if you look carefully, this Buddha relic has cracks, otherwise I wouldn't be able to take it out to exchange for this colorful Luan jade." It is almost used, and it is on the verge of being damaged, but for an ordinary person, it is still a rare evil spirit.In order to further convince the old museum owner, Wei Qing also took out the certificate of being a monk of Nanhua Temple.

The old curator looked at the young man in surprise, and said with a smile, "I really don't see that you are still a monk who has passed the Tao and returned to lay life."

Wei Qing said with a smile: "If it weren't for the high morals of the old hall owner, who is not greedy for money, the boy admires him very much, I would not exchange this Buddha's relic, so as not to spoil it. This Buddha's relic, I think you are also a person who knows the goods, not only you can To ward off evil spirits, carry it on your body all year round, it can prolong your life and calm your mind!"

"Hehe, if the old owner is willing to part with you, this Buddhist relic will be yours, and I will donate 1000 million to this collection."

These two conditions of Wei Qing are exactly in the hands of the old curator.

The reason why the old owner was unwilling to give Wei Qing the Heaven-Mending Stone was because he didn't know Wei Qing's identity. He would retire in half a year. Evening festival is not guaranteed.And Wei Qing revealed his identity as a monk, which reassured the old museum owner a lot. At least a well-educated eminent monk would not do such things that ruin people's reputation, and now Wei Qing is still willing to give this The collection donated 1000 million yuan, which can be said to be both fame and fortune for the old museum owner who is about to retire.

Faced with Wei Qing's conditions, the old museum owner still seemed a little hesitant, Wei Qing pretended to sigh a long time, and was about to put away the Buddhist relics, when the old museum owner said with a grin: "Buddhism pays attention to the word fate, since you make This seven-colored Luan jade was bumped into by you again, so it will fulfill you?"

Wei Qing exchanged things with the old museum owner, and smiled without saying a word.

This sky-filling stone was dug out from an ancient tomb, so it is considered ancient.Wei Qing would not think about whether there was anything wrong with the old curator's doing so, nor would he guess whether the Buddhist relic ended up in the old curator's pocket or in the collection. At the very least, the old curator The style of pie is quite like a person.

If I hadn't just bumped into it, who knows what will happen to the Sky-Mending Stone in the end?

"Are you looking for the murder knife used by the executioner?"

After drinking a cup of tea and chatting for a while, Wei Qing immediately expressed his intention of coming, the old curator looked a little surprised, and also became a little unnatural, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Hey, this matter is over, I don't want to mention it anymore , but for the sake of your donation, then I will give you two nagging."

The Dadu River History and Culture Collection Museum did have a pig-killing knife used by executioners in the late Qing Dynasty.

However, this knife was stolen ten years ago, which can be regarded as a very serious matter. The police searched for a long time but did not find out anything famous. Fortunately, this murder knife does not have much cultural value. So the theft incident passed quickly without causing much impact, but it can be regarded as a stain on the resume of the old museum owner.

Wei Qing frowned and said, "The collection should have a very strict security system, right? Besides, there are a lot of valuable cultural relics in this collection. Why is it that only a murder knife was stolen instead of other valuable cultural relics? Oh, I don't have anything else I mean, I just think this theft is a bit weird."

"Hey, I couldn't figure it out at the time, but it's a blessing in misfortune, right?" the old museum owner sighed.

Wei Qing asked again: "Since then, has the collection been stolen again?"

The old owner nodded and said, "No more."

Wei Qing pinched his chin lightly, and felt that he had really found the right place.

There are a lot of valuable cultural relics in a historical and cultural collection, but why the only theft was a murder knife used by the executioner. Is this related to the murder weapon in the three murder cases now?Since the thief was able to break through the security system of the collection, why did he only steal a murder knife instead of other things.

The executioner's murder knife is a murder weapon in the eyes of ordinary people. It kills too many people and has too much resentment. Don't take the risk of going to jail to steal it. Even if you give it to others, others will think that such a knife has killed too many people. It is easy to be contaminated with unclean things, which is very evil.

At this time, Mr. Legend asked: "Who is responsible for your security system?"

"Who did it? I'm not sure about this, let me think about it. I remembered, 21 years ago, the original address of the collection hall was not here, but at the foot of Mount Li. It’s very powerful, so the city considered that the collection hall was flooded, so it proposed to build a new collection hall at another location, which is the current place. This matter has been bumpy for many years, and it’s finally settled. As for the security The system, oh, I remembered, was in charge of a subsidiary of Ishida Fuku back then!"

"Fuku Ishida was terrible back then. It involved many industries, black and white, and even the government had its own contacts. In fact, this subsidiary did not know how to engage in security systems. It only engaged in contracting and then handed it over to a foreign company. Apart from those theft incidents, there are no problems!"

Wei Qing took a deep breath. The company in charge of the collection was owned by Ishida Fukuoka. Is this a coincidence or another conspiracy?
"Hehe, old museum owner, you are a man of culture, can you tell me about the executioner and the murder knife, what are the particulars?" The murder knife was stolen, which is very likely to be related to the three murders , the murderer's method seems to be very regular, and after figuring out this pattern, Wei Qing will have a chance to seize the opportunity.

The old curator stood up, took out a notebook from the bookshelf behind him, and started chattering.
