The only player on earth

Chapter 313 74. Orphanage

After bidding farewell to Robert and the psychic twins, Henry Zhang, Lin Lin, A Leng, Bai Siwei and Mrs. Smith set off for the place where the two lived.

Although rich, the Smiths don't live in Beverly Hills.

but New York.

The two have a very nice villa in the bustling metropolis of New York, with three floors, the first floor is the hall, the second floor is the bedroom, and the third floor is the collection hall of the two of them.

Most of the collections are placed here.

There are security guards at the door, and the monitoring system is very complete, and ordinary thieves cannot sneak in at all.

Unless it is a powerful thief.

However, although the two people's collections are good, they still can't attract those big thieves.

Under the leadership of Mrs. and Mrs. Smith, Henry Zhang and his party came to the collection hall of everyone, and found that most of the antiques here are modern antiques, and it seems that older antiques are very rare.

Because the United States has a relatively short history, there are no valuable antiques, at most, some commemorative coins, or valuable newspapers, or even some silverware.

Of course, apart from some American antiques, the Smiths also collected some foreign antiques.

Henry Zhang saw an emerald pipe and an exquisite snuff bottle here.

“What about the antique?” Henry Zhang asked.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith looked at each other, and the two walked to a safe. After opening the safe, they took out a box covered with Bibles.

Open the box, and inside lies a very funny doll.

There are such things as dolls all over the world, among which Xinguo, Japan, and Europe are the most developed.

In Xinguo, there are Peking Opera puppets, or clay puppets.Of course, in ancient times, they were not called puppets, but silk figurines, which are one of the traditional handicrafts of Xinguo.It originated in the Tang Dynasty.To make silk figurines, first-class silk, silk, yarn and silk should be selected as raw materials.

Artists have gone through more than a dozen delicate crafts such as sculpture, painting, clothing, headgear and props to make ladies and drama characters of past dynasties.

Even older ones are witchcraft dolls.

The Japanese dolls are called Ningyo, which originated in Japan's Edo period and first appeared as children's toys.After hundreds of years of development and change, humanoid art has won people's appreciation for its exquisite shapes, gorgeous clothing and various hair accessories, and has become a favorite interior decoration of the Japanese people.

The so-called dolls originated in Europe in the [-]th century. At that time, it was one of the more glorious eras of alchemy, and most of them were ball-jointed dolls.

The doll in the collection of Mr. and Mrs. Smith originated in Europe. It is a doll with spherical joints. From the outside, it looks like a very retro-dressed little boy with a cheerful smile on his face.

This kind of doll, ordinary people just look at it and feel like it.

It is estimated that Mr. and Mrs. Smith bought this doll back because of this feeling.

Henry Zhang looked at the doll carefully, shook his head and said: "This is an ordinary collection, there is nothing special about it."

"What do you mean?" Mrs. Smith was a little confused.

Henry Zhang said: "I mean, whether the children you meet laugh or are pushed downstairs, it has nothing to do with this doll. This is an ordinary doll without any special features. place."

"how is this possible."

The Smiths couldn’t help being stunned for a while when they heard Henry Zhang’s words.

Henry Zhang said: "You can recall, in addition to dolls, what antiques did you buy before the children's laughter appeared."

Mrs. and Mrs. Smith thought for a while, shook their heads and said, "Not anymore."

Henry Zhang changed the way of asking, "After you bought this doll, there was a child's laughter, right?"

"Yes."

“So what else did you buy before this doll?” Henry Zhang asked.

Husband Smith recalled, saying, "I seem to have purchased a candlestick before this doll."

Mrs. Smith said: "It's not the candlestick. The candlestick was bought three months before the doll. I think it must be this doll. If it wasn't for this doll, why couldn't this doll be destroyed?"

Duns, Smith's husband, nodded, "That's right, this puppet is very evil. Whether it is chopped with an ax or burned, it has no effect. It is really evil."

"It makes sense for you to say so, let me try." Henry Zhang nodded towards Lin Lin, and Lin Lin immediately handed over a pistol.Henry Zhang took the pistol, aimed at the doll, and suddenly turned his head and asked, "If I break this thing, I don't need to pay for it."

Mr. and Mrs. Smith nodded quickly.

bump!
Henry Zhang shot without hesitation, and the bullet dragged out, smashing the puppet's head in an instant.

"It looks like it's not it."

Husband Smith immediately opened his eyes wide, looking at the puppet whose head was smashed by Henry Zhang in disbelief, with an unbelievable expression on his face, "Why, why did this happen."

It is clear that no matter whether he chops it with a knife or an axe, or burns it, it will not work, and it will be smashed by others.

Could it be that this puppet is also bullying and afraid of being tough.

Henry Zhang handed the pistol to Lin Lin, and said, "Take me to see the candlestick."

Smith's husband nodded and took Henry Zhang to the candlestick. Henry looked at it for a few times, shook his head and said, "It's not a candlestick. Okay, let's look at other things."

Without saying a word, the two took Henry Zhang to look at their collections.

After reading it, Henry Zhang suddenly understood a little bit, and said: "Mr. Smith, and Mrs. Smith, I have good news here. Everything you bought is fine, and there are no evil spirits boarding on it."

"What's the matter with that child's laughter?" Mrs. Smith asked palpitatingly.

"Then I'll ask you two."

"us?"

"Yes, what I want to ask is, did the two of you go anywhere before the children's laughter appeared? Maybe, you encountered evil spirits in these places, and then the evil spirits brought them home, This possibility is not impossible.”

Mr. and Mrs. Smith looked at each other, and immediately said in unison: "Orphanage!"

Henry Zhang frowned.

Mrs. Smith immediately said: "The day before the children's laughter appeared, we went to the orphanage. You know, we have no way to give birth, so we wanted to adopt an orphan, so the day before, we went to the orphanage. A trip to the orphanage."

Henry Zhang clapped his hands and said: "In this case, let's go to the orphanage, maybe we can find some clues."
