Chapter 30: It was a spirit
"I'm sorry sir, I really can't help you with this matter, you better find someone else. ”
I returned the money to him, leaving only a hundred dollars and giving him the rest of the change.
He looked a little angry, didn't take the money, and when he was about to leave the door, he stepped back and placed a business card on the table.
"If you want to tell me the location of the tomb or if you want to exchange the jade crown, just call me. ”
After saying that, he left without looking back.
My mood suddenly became more complicated.
I thought that this matter was over, and from then on I had nothing to do with the ancient tomb, I just had to wait peacefully until February 2nd.
I didn't expect it to be just beginning.
The disappearance of the jade crown may have been done by someone else, but I don't have time to care about who it is.
I don't want to reveal anything about the tomb, that is, I don't want anyone to visit the tomb, at least not from my mouth.
Otherwise, this matter has nothing to do with me.
I don't know if the Dragon King's injury is good or bad, but through this incident, I decided that I must be careful in the future, and I will learn more things.
Lying in bed at night, I closed the curtains, closed the door tightly, and took out the book "Dragon Phase Feng Shui Tui Back Sutra".
I was fascinated by the contents, and I didn't react until the rooster crowed outside, and it was already dawn.
I yawned and put my book back away, and instead of sleeping that night, I was in a lot of energy, washing up and opening the door.
When I pushed the door, I was startled, and there was a man standing at the door, looking at the crack in the door and not knowing what he was looking at, like a thief.
I just pushed the door and almost hit her.
It doesn't look big, thirteen or fourteen years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and it's quite cute.
"Big brother, you have a very fragrant smell on you. ”
I sniffed my body, and it seemed to smell like it really smelled.
Usually the store will light incense, but when I get used to it, I don't mind.
"Big brother, this thing is for you. ”
The girl blinked and handed me a delivery box with wide eyes.
"What is this?" I wondered.
The girl shook her head and pointed to the deserted street on the side: "There's a big sister there, she said let me give it to you." ”
"Huh, she seems to be gone. ”
I'm a little strange, I got up early today, it's only four o'clock now, it's just dawn, and why don't you just give me this thing, I have to use a little girl to send it to me.
"Big brother, then my task is complete, I'll leave first, remember to open the package!"
The girl waved her hand away without waiting for me to ask anything else.
When I got back to the store, I opened the package, and there was a lot of foam wrapped in it, and it was quite heavy, and it looked like it was supposed to be a fragile item inside.
When I removed the last layer of packaging, I was shocked to see what was inside.
This is a jade crown made of jadeite, and the lines engraved on it are mottled, and it looks like a fine jadeite.
I don't have much research on it, but I'm not stupid, and it's clear that something isn't quite right.
The jewel merchant on the front foot just found me, and I received this jade crown on the back foot, is this too coincidental?
At that time, I went to the villa to look for it, but I didn't find it, how could this be given to me again?
The girl just now said that it was given to her by an older sister, and my first reaction was the young woman from last time.
Okay, last time I told me I didn't know, and secretly hid the jade crown, and now I know that I got into trouble before I send it out.
I quickly called her and asked her to come to the store, probably feeling weak, and I kept smiling awkwardly when I entered the store, and my eyes were flashing in my direction from time to time, and I was hiding something from me at a glance.
I made her a pot of tea and put it on the table.
"I don't think I'm sorry for you, your husband's affairs have been solved quite cleanly, you are too unkind, and you actually put all the trouble on me. ”
The young woman took a sip of tea with a weak heart: "How can you, you are really good at laughing haha." ”
Seeing that the paper couldn't hold the fire, she could only recruit them all.
"I admit it, I'm not kind to you who asked me to keep it a secret last time, I couldn't do it, and I revealed a little bit of what you helped me to others, but I swear, just a little!"
"I told the merchant that you might know something, and he said he was looking for the Emerald Crown, and I don't know what it is. ”
"He also said that the money has been given to my husband, and if I don't deliver the goods, I will pay liquidated damages, anyway, I won't pay for this money, my husband is dead, and then he threatened me, I can't help but tell your news. ”
It's not the first day I met her, and I know this temperament, so I'm too lazy to say anything.
I got straight to the point and said, "Did you send that thing this morning?"
"Something, what?"
She looked at me in surprise.
Seeing her like this, it seems that she really doesn't know anything, and it is obviously unnecessary to ask any more.
After a few more small talks, I motioned for her to go.
But this woman is here.
"I'll come if you let me come, I'll leave if I let me go, master~"
Well, I shouldn't have let her come, and she started scratching her head again.
"I know I can't help you, and I'm not a vengeful villain, I think this jeweler isn't a good thing, and you have to keep a certain distance from him. ”
Just as the young woman was saying this, the jeweller stumbled in.
When the young woman saw the familiar face, a spirit stood up in fright.
"I suddenly remembered that there was something going on at home, so I'll leave first, and I'll come back to see you another day. ”
After saying that, he ran away with a smoke.
Today's jewellers look very wrong, dressed as before, but with a swaying foot.
The young woman ran in a hurry, and accidentally bumped into him, and he staggered and fell to the ground without standing.
I quickly helped him up.
It's not the same thing as meeting a dead person in my shop and having someone die in my shop.
Obviously, the latter is much more terrible than the former, and I have to take responsibility for the latter.
I helped him to sit upright, and when I saw that he was suffering from heat stroke, I took off his hat and sunglasses, and he was still wearing a mask on a hot day, so it was strange that he didn't suffer from heat stroke!
After taking off the mask, I was stunned for a moment, and the mask fell to the ground without holding it.
His face was covered in burns, and he was even hissing and smoking.
As soon as I took off the protective measures on his head, he jerked his clothes to cover his face, and a puff of white smoke rose, and I immediately understood something, closed the door tightly, closed the curtains around him, and the store was dark.
He slowed down for a while, and then recovered.
But my heart could not be at peace for a long time.
It turns out that this guy standing in front of me is not a human but a ghost!
