"Mr. Wu, to put it bluntly, this bronze snake ring is really not ranked among the cultural relics we have restored. The reason why you considered buying it is that we have this business, and you sent it to us Coming here must not be a random choice." Lou Zhiling touched the ruby ​​ring on her hand seemingly unintentionally.

Seeing her gesture, and remembering the secretive hint from his colleagues, Wu Hongfeng gritted his teeth: "I didn't raise the price for the things I bought for [-] yuan, just let me pay back." Knowing that these people really know the goods, Wu Hongfeng didn't dare to lie. Wide open.

Xiao Yunling pressed half of her hips on the table: "We found some problems with the source of this bronze snake ring. Who did you buy it from?"

Wu Hongfeng's face changed drastically. It is no problem to collect antiques normally, but it is illegal and criminal to trade antiques or cultural relics with questionable sources in private.Things like unearthed cultural relics and tomb robbery should not be touched.

Seeing that these experts didn't look like they wanted to question him, Wu Hongfeng calmed down a little, and he wouldn't be so stupid as to not cooperate: "The antique market in the north of the city was bought from a person with a big scab on the left side of his nose. It was a small stall, I looked for it later, but I couldn’t find it.”

The antique trading market in the north of the imperial capital is one of the largest antique trading markets in China. It is a mixed bag, and it is difficult to tell the real from the fake. Many antique lovers will go there to try to find the missing ones.In addition to shops with signboards, there are countless mobile stalls along the street.These small vendors come and go from time to time, and it is not easy to block specific people.

Wu Hongfeng received the transfer and left, and Xin Zhu and Luo Zizhou who were hiding in the back room came out.

No one in the Cultural Relics Restoration Department could understand Fat Yi's "hissing", so it would be much more convenient for Xin Zhu to assist in the investigation.Unexpectedly, Luo Zizhou could understand it, and Xin Zhu once suspected that he was of the same clan.

Fei Yi swears that the knife can only protect the safety of the house in the family of elves, and it will reveal its true nature in the hands of other people-killing and bloodthirsty.If it can't be suppressed, the knife will bring disaster to the master's family, and even cause them to lose their lives.

Looking at this single bronze snake ring, that knife may be disassembled and sold by interested people.Just one decoration made the family feel uneasy, and I don't know what happened to the person who owns the main body of the knife.Even to save someone, they had to find the knife.

According to the relevant information provided by Feiyi, the area where it rescued people was narrowed down to Xi City in Zhejiang Province.Since the man it saved was the reincarnation of the pixie, the knife might be nearby.As a result, the Special Investigation Department and the Cultural Relics Restoration Department jointly handled the case, and each sent two people with Fei Yi to track down the whereabouts of the knife.

Xin Zhu and Luo Zizhou were dispatched by the Special Investigation Office, while Xiao Yunling and Lou Zhiling were dispatched by the Cultural Relics Restoration Office.After two days of contact, they are somewhat familiar with each other.Xiao Yunling took his father's surname, and Lou Zhiling took his mother's surname. Their mother also worked for the Cultural Relics Restoration Office and became a legend for a generation.They were childhood sweethearts with Liang Hengchu, and Liang Hengchu felt at ease with them.

Zhejiang Province is located in the south, and there are many streams and rivers.Although the winter in the south is later than in the north and the temperature is slightly higher, the damp and cold is more unbearable than the low temperature in the north.What's more, there is no central heating in the south, and the indoors are colder than the outdoors.

The sun hangs high in the sky, but it has no temperature and is not very bright. The landscape trees on the roadside are still green but seem a little sluggish.

It was around three o'clock in the afternoon, and there were few cars and people on the road.The four people who came to carry out the mission sat in the car, and the sound of howling wind drifted past the car window.Xin Zhu held the shrunken fat body in his palm, allowing him to see the outside scene through the car window.

"is it here?"

Fei Yi's two heads turned in two directions respectively, and when he saw two pentagonal buildings close together not far away, he determined the position.

Lou Zhiling, who was sitting in the co-pilot, turned on the mobile phone navigation to search for nearby antique stores, pawn shops, etc. If someone else got a knife or other bronze snake ring, they would probably take action in time after the abnormality happened. Inquire about the news.

Sure enough, after walking through several shops, they found another bronze snake ring in a pawn shop called "Foley Pawn Shop".

Seeing that they had come to look for it specially, Fulai's manager seemed to intend to buy it, and even touted the bronze snake ring with all his might.

Luo Zizhou picked up the bronze snake ring: "You said that someone came to pawn it five days ago, does he have no intention of redeeming it?"

The manager kept smiling: "The customer was in a hurry to use the money, so he pawned it deadly." Deadly pawning is equivalent to completely selling something to the pawnshop, and the pawnshop is free to dispose of it.

Leaning against the glass counter, Xiao Yunling dismissed the exhibits inside: "Could you please contact the person who came to pawn for us, we want to charge a few more similar items."

Pawnbrokers are obliged to protect the privacy of customers, and it is unlikely that they will give them the information of the other party before going the police way, but generally they will not refuse to help contact them.

The manager readily agreed and called the customer on the spot.After a while, the phone was connected, and even though the manager didn't turn on the speakerphone, all four people present could hear clearly.

The other party didn't immediately reject it, which meant that the deal moved his heart.He was silent for a long time, saying that he had to think about it.Luo Zizhou took advantage of the opportunity and proposed to exchange contact information, then there would be no need to bother the pawnshop manager to convey it, and the other party naturally agreed.

Back in the car, Xin Zhu hung two bronze snake rings on Fei Yi's two heads respectively: "Then we will wait for Mr. Lin to contact us, what if he refuses?"

Xiao Yunling looked at Fei Yi contemptuously from the rearview mirror: "The majestic ancient monster has been reduced to the present state, and it is so difficult to even recover his own things."

Fat Yi, who used to spin a bronze snake ring around his neck to make Xin Zhu happy, shrank suddenly, not to mention Xiao Yunling, even he himself could hardly accept his current appearance of being low-key and being bullied.But what can I do, it is also very helpless!If it had one-tenth of the power it had in its heyday, it wouldn't be so embarrassing.

Lou Zhiling put on her seat belt: "My intuition tells me that he will agree." The existence of the sixth sense is very mysterious, and her intuition rarely makes mistakes.

That night, Mr. Lin, who had pawned the bronze snake ring in Fulai, called and promised to meet with them to see the "goods".Mr. Lin did not disclose what the "goods" he brought, so he was wary after thinking about it.

Early the next morning, everyone went to the Wangliuju Restaurant designated by Mr. Lin as scheduled to meet him.In the closed box was not only the fat middle-aged Mr. Lin, but also two burly bodyguards.

When they arrived, eight beautifully arranged cold dishes had already been served on the table, and two bottles of red wine stood upright in the decanter, waiting for them to enjoy it as soon as they arrived.It's hard to see that it's Mr. Lin who was "in a hurry to spend money" mentioned by the manager of Fulai.

When Mr. Lin first saw a group of handsome men and beauties coming in, he almost thought that his whereabouts had been exposed, and some portfolio that wanted to attract investment came in.After repeated confirmations, everyone was invited to sit down and poured wine for everyone personally. The fragrant wine was mouth-watering.

No one mentioned the transaction first, as if they met here just for this meal.

After drinking for three rounds and dishes piled up on the table, Mr. Lin put down the goblet leisurely: "Nowadays, there are more and more young people who love to collect old objects. I have seen many of them over the years. Her appearance and demeanor are so unique, I don’t know where she came from?”

As soon as he said this, the antennas on the foreheads of the four people here stood up—this man is probably not a big fish!

If you are just someone who wants to sell antiques, there is no need to inquire about their backgrounds so openly and secretly.Both money and goods, it is best that no one knows who.I just don't know what this Mr. Lin in front of me means.

Lou Zhiling held the cup and smiled slightly: "We are from the imperial capital, and the elders in the family like to collect old things very much, especially bronze wares. The old lady celebrates her birthday in a few days, and us juniors want to prepare something that suits her wishes." Gift."

Mr. Lin smiled kindly, and no other emotions could be seen in his shining eyes: "The imperial capital is the largest antique market in China. How did you come to Zhejiang Province to look for it?"

Luo Zizhou took out two almost identical bronze snake rings, and took up the conversation: "We received a bronze snake ring in the imperial capital, and a knowledgeable friend told us that this item is a complete set, so we want to collect a set."

You come and go between the two sides, Luo Zizhou oppressively stepped on the foot of Xin Zhu who was about to move.From Xin Zhu's point of view, their purpose is to track down the whereabouts of Fei Yidao. Mr. Lin is likely to be an insider, and he can know everything he knows by using some means. Why bother so much trouble?

Xin Zhu, who was not very happy, ate with his head covered, and even threw some food for Fei Ji to satisfy his cravings when others were not paying attention.Even though he minimized his sense of existence, Mr. Lin still did not let him go.

"This gentleman seems to like the dry pot bullfrog very much. Do you need another order?"

Xin Zhumian spit out a piece of bullfrog leg bone without changing his face: "I have liked it since I was a child, so I don't need to add it. I don't need to say that the amount of bullfrog here is small. It is too old and the taste is too bad. The ingredients are heavy, but it is a pity that I can't make it." To cover up the ingredients themselves..."

"Ahem..." Luo Zizhou interrupted Xin Zhu's long speech, "I'm sorry, my younger brother was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, especially when it comes to eating. Mr. Lin, don't take offense."

Mr. Lin, whose smile froze during Xin Zhu's criticism of the bullfrog, gradually softened: "It doesn't matter if you have a true temperament."

Xin Zhu looked like he didn't buy it, Xiao Yunling looked like a noble young master who didn't pay attention to anything, but Mr. Lin gradually put down his guard, and his expression became a little more sincere.

Satisfied with food and drink, Mr. Lin led the crowd through a long alleyway through the back door of Luliu House, and then turned two turns into a very inconspicuous small door.On the left behind the door is the elevator, which leads directly to the seventh floor.The elevator doors opened, and it seemed to be a hotel corridor. Mr. Lin swiped open one of the doors and led them in.

The situation in the room was much more serious than that in the private room of Luliuju. The two bodyguards who entered the door watched everyone from head to toe with unkind eyes.

Xiao Yunling sneered: "Isn't there going to be a body search?"

Mr. Lin smiled, and his posture was much lower than before: "Where is Mr. Xiao, our goods are really valuable, so we have to be more cautious. Come in, our boss is waiting."

It turned out that this Mr. Lin was also doing things for others.

On the sofa in the living room of the suite, a young man in his thirties was puffing, and behind the sofa stood a row of black-clothed bodyguards.Seeing them coming in, the young man raised his hand, and someone took the cigar in his hand.There are three lockboxes on the wooden coffee table in front of the sofa, much like the boxes used to hold cash in some shady transactions in movies and TV dramas.

"Everyone, please sit down." The young man straightened up, "Not much gossip, here is what I prepared today, I just don't know if you can eat it."

Xiao Yunling stepped forward in two or three steps, and sat on the sofa opposite the young man carelessly: "As long as you have the right eyes, money is not a problem."

Everyone sat down separately, and the three bodyguards stood behind the sofa where they were sitting.With a look from the young man, Mr. Lin opened the first lockbox, and inside was the third bronze snake ring.

"This is the last bronze snake ring you are looking for." The young man narrowed his eyes with a haughty expression.

They have been following Mr. Lin. Neither Mr. Lin nor his two bodyguards have contacted anyone, let alone passed on information. Presumably, their words and deeds in the box in the Green Willow Residence are controlled by this young man.

Lou Zhiling picked up the bronze snake ring lying on the velvet, lowered her eyes and smiled lightly: "What's the name of this gentleman?"

"My surname is Ouyang." Ouyang Xie was self-effacing, but his expression was still arrogant, as if this surname was already a symbol of status.

Lou Zhiling refused to follow him, and casually threw the bronze snake ring on the coffee table: "Mr. Ouyang, the most important thing in life is happiness, and the most important thing in business is sincerity. You are so insincere, it makes me a little unhappy .”

The air in the room was so thick that it almost froze in an instant. Everyone kept their original expressions, but the temperature dropped rapidly.

After about a minute, Ouyang Xie burst into a "haha" laugh, breaking the embarrassment: "Wow, it seems that you are also experts, I was rude. Please understand my love for these artworks, I want to find a good home for them."

If he could not be so frivolous, what he said might be more credible.

Xiao Yunling put down Erlang's legs, and the carpet let out a muffled groan under his feet: "Don't give us these stupid things, sir, my patience is not that good."

Not only was Ouyang Xie not angry, he put down his airs a little and opened the interlayer of the password box by himself, where the real bronze snake ring was hidden.

"This little thing is just an addition. The real good thing is here." Ouyang Xie opened the lockbox in the middle, and inside was a very well-preserved ancient knife with no rust at all. There is a vacant ring hole, and the snake pattern on the handle is matched with the bronze snake ring.

Seeing this knife, everyone's eyes lit up.

Ouyang Xie was quite proud: "This knife has been passed down in our Ouyang family for countless generations. It has been in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. How about it?"

The four of Xin Zhu looked at each other, and it was Luo Zizhou who questioned: "Since it is a treasure handed down from the Ouyang family, why is Mr. Ouyang willing to take it out?"

"You don't need to know this." Ouyang Xie leaned back against the sofa.

Luo Zizhou narrowed his eyes: "Then can you guarantee that if we buy this knife, we won't get into trouble because of it in the future?"

Ouyang Xie's face changed slightly, his left cheek muscles twitched unconsciously, and his tone of assurance weakened a lot.Seeing that Luo Zizhou didn't ask any more questions, he was visibly relieved.

After setting the fat left knife, everyone's eyes turned to the third password box.Boss Lin opened the box, and it was empty.

Ouyang Xie lit the cigar again: "This box is for you. I have a quirk in this business. I don't like to accept transfers, but I like cash. Later, Lao Lin will take you to the bank. I have already made an appointment in advance. 500 million, This box is enough."

Sure enough, their process of withdrawing money went smoothly.

Standing at the gate of the bank and watching Lao Lin drive away, Lou Zhiling's expression was indescribable: "Is this Ouyang mentally ill?"

"He's a second grader than me." Xiao Yunling added.

Even if there is no such thing as Feiyi knife, it is far more than 500 million if it is regarded as an ordinary antique.

Xin Zhu akimbo: "I have a question. We came to fertilize the legacy knife because we are afraid that it will fall into other people's hands and ruin the family. But since it has been passed down in Ouyang's family for thousands of years, the reincarnation of the elf should be a member of Ouyang's family." Right? Why are we buying knives?"

"In order to return the property to the original owner." Luo Zizhou unlocked the car, "If I'm not wrong, this Ouyang Xie secretly sold the knife behind the back of the Ouyang family." The question he asked earlier was to test him.

If the Ouyang family allowed Ouyang Xie to sell knives, then he wouldn't have to split the knives and sell them separately, and the price wouldn't be set so low, and he wouldn't be so secretive.All his cautiousness proved his lack of confidence, and he was afraid of being discovered.

Fei Yi happily swam back and forth on the Fei Yi Knife, Lou Zhiling called Liang Hengchu and asked him to help find out the contact information of the head of Ouyang's family.

Getting the contact information is just a trivial matter for them, but the foundation of Ouyang's family is not in Zhejiang Province, but in Jinling, Suzhou Province.Ouyang Qing, the patriarch of the Ouyang family, heard that the family heirloom sword was being sold, so angry that her blood pressure soared and she almost went to the hospital.He left another number and asked them to find his granddaughter Ouyang Mo.

The phone was connected as soon as I made a call, and there was a gentle female voice on the opposite side. Listening to her was like encountering a warm sun in three or nine days, and the scorching heat facing Qianxi.According to online accounts, her voice has the power to heal.

The others just thought Ouyang Mo's voice was nice, and Fei Yi didn't even need a knife, and was not afraid of being beaten, so he jumped onto the passenger seat like lightning, poking his head as close to Lou Zhiling's cell phone as possible.

"Hello."

"Excuse me, is this Miss Ouyang Mo?"

"You are the ones who bought our knife. Grandpa has already told me. Where are you now, is it convenient for me to go there?" Ouyang Mo was a little embarrassed.

Lou Zhiling looked up at the nearby street scene, but couldn't find a suitable place for them to meet: "We just came out of the bank, let Ms. Ouyang book a place, we will go find you."

"Well, I'll wait for you at the cafe downstairs of the Silver Lake Hotel."

After agreeing on a meeting place, Lou Zhiling hung up the phone and turned on the navigation, Fei Yi went back to the knife and continued to dawdle.

The author has something to say:

Thanks to Yuxing for irrigating a bottle of nutrient solution.
