Chapter 248: The Pearl is Covered in Dust
"Let's not talk about Tao Wutian, who did Tao Wunian and Kuang Meiyan die for?" Mo Wusi looked at Tao Wutian, "You know it in your heart. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Tao was speechless, and he glared at Mous angrily.
"You have colluded with the 'Buren Society' and killed your kind third brother, and your wife's death seems to be an accident on the surface, but those doubts that cannot be ignored prove that this is actually a warning from the 'Buren Society' to you. And you, knowing this, did not pursue it. Mouss's eyes flashed with ridicule, "Why don't you pursue it, because you have accepted the support of the 'Unbenevolent Society', because you want to save your own life!"
"You don't have to say it so badly. Tao couldn't smile bitterly, "I admit that I took possession of the Mo family's things, but I have also been scared for many years. He sighed, "The day after the sting, I went to your house with Maeda and them, and to our surprise, you weren't at home. Maeda analyzed at the time, you should have run away with your grandson, because I persuaded them not to go to your house the night before, so Maeda scolded me.
"We searched your house and found nothing, so Maeda sent someone to the amber shop again, but he also came back empty-handed. Except for the two pieces of seven-colored amber that Mo Linshu used as a longevity lock, we didn't find any other seven-colored amber. Maeda was furious. On the night of March 6, I don't know if God blesses me, but I suddenly had a strong premonition that something was going to happen. Although Hanseong has a tradition of inviting guests to stay overnight during birthday celebrations, I was still worried that if those who went to celebrate the birthday of the Kan family did not return for a long time and were approached by their families, it would be troublesome, so I strongly advised Maeda to close the team as soon as possible. After thinking about it, Maeda decided to let his subordinates stay and wait for you, afraid that if you returned. He called two of his men to follow, and went with me back to the house he had bought to rest. We drank tea for a while, and Maeda couldn't rest assured that his people were there, so he used infrared night vision devices to observe the Mo family. As a result......" Tao couldn't say this, and suddenly shivered.
"As a result, you saw me come back. "Besides, you didn't expect that I was far above those minions. ”
"I'm terrified, Maeda is still a little unconvinced, and wants to sneak attack you. But I advised him to save his life, and we both thought you knew the whereabouts of the Amber Palace. Then, if you act alone, you must have hidden your grandson somewhere, or entrusted it to someone else, we just need to find your grandson and use him to threaten you. After all, Hanover is only left with this bloodline, and you won't risk turning us down. ”
Tao couldn't speak, and actually laughed, but Mous could immediately see that he was laughing at himself.
"I hid with Maeda for a few days in fear, and then Maeda took me to Guangzhou, where I was greeted with reinforcements. A week later, we returned to Hanseong again. Soon, Maeda's men found out that you had gone to Nabang. However, when we rushed over, we found that the teahouse was closed.
"Because I had already greeted Meiyan and said that I was going on a business trip and was going to buy some materials, so I was shocked that the tragedy that day, my alibi was completed for me. Plus the third child also had an accident...... The police didn't suspect me too much. Tao couldn't pull the quilt up, "There's nothing to say later, you know it." ”
Mous pressed his index finger to the wing of his nose, as if to consider the truth of Tao's words.
"Are you sure you're done with what you need to say?" his golden eyes shone with an unfathomable light.
Tao couldn't subconsciously look away, "What else do you want to know?"
"You're a man. Mous shook his head disdainfully, "What do you think you're hiding?" He glanced at his watch, and Tao couldn't notice that it seemed to be a Patek Philippe.
"Remind me that I'm old and sometimes my brain is not good. Tao couldn't say slyly.
Mous leaned back in his chair, "Okay, let me remind you, I'm older than you. ”
Tao's "soft words" were ruthlessly pushed back by the other party, he laughed dryly twice, and said cheekily: "What I just said is the truth, I dare to swear to God." ”
"Just because you're not lying doesn't mean you're not hiding it. Mous said, smiling suddenly. "Necklace. With that, he clenched his fists and tapped the arm of his chair.
His words were short, but powerful. Tao's gaze fell on his clenched fist, the gloves were particularly destructive in the light, and Tao couldn't swallow a mouthful of saliva and reluctantly spoke.
After helping Mo Linshu find the necklace in the river, Tao couldn't realize that the "mosquito coil" necklace was not ordinary, so when Mo Linshu was beheaded by Maeda, who was furious, he instinctively noticed the necklace that fell in a pool of blood. Then, taking advantage of the unpreparedness, he quietly put away the necklace. He waited patiently until June of that year, when Maeda could not find the Amber Palace, so he had to return to Tokyo in a huff.
And the Mo family's mansion and amber shop also fell into Tao's pocket. In his busy schedule, he did not forget to forge a transfer agreement, even if someone doubted its authenticity at the time, there was no way to prove it, after all, no one would believe that the Mo family's tragedy was something Tao could not do. Moreover, it seems to be a "logical" thing that Tao, the only Tao who has close contacts with the Mo family, cannot inherit the inheritance.
However, Tao couldn't and didn't have the courage to live in the Mo family, so he took his family and moved to Maeda's house.
After settling in, Tao couldn't just search the Mo family and the amber shop. He was not discouraged by the fact that the "Unkind Society" had found nothing, on the contrary, he was very happy: the Amber Palace must be hidden in a place that needs to be opened with a key, and this key is the "mosquito coil" necklace that Mo Linshu's treasure is very obtainable.
But what Tao couldn't have imagined was that it wasn't until 1992 that he unlocked the secret of this necklace.
The necklace is pure gold, and Tao cannot be carefully observed with various lamps: the pendant resembles a hovering mosquito coil, smooth on the outside and intricate and intricately engraved on the inside, and there is a ring clasp between the pendant and the chain, and as for the chain, it is only a very common style.
Tao couldn't help but hand over the necklace, but he didn't dare to show it to others, he ran an amber shop, and ushered in a great change in wealth with the spring breeze of reform, while he devoted himself to studying this mysterious necklace alone.
One day in 1992, Tao returned home exhausted, when his wife had died in a car accident. He threw his handbag on the couch and went to take a shower.
When he walked out of the bathroom with his hair wiped his hair, he was surprised to find that Tao Baihe was rummaging through his bag.
"What are you doing, White Lotus?" Tao couldn't say.
"Boring. Tao Baihe didn't find anything interesting, so he casually threw the bag aside.
A slender necklace slipped out of the bag.
"Huh. Tao Baihe picked up the necklace curiously, "What is this?"
Tao couldn't be stunned, and before he could figure out how to answer his 12-year-old daughter's question, his daughter reached out and pulled it hard, pulling the "mosquito coil" out of shape.
"White Lotus!" Tao couldn't be shocked, "Don't move!"
But Tao Baihe has already pulled the "mosquito coil" pendant into a straight line with jagged teeth. She looked at the small gold bar, which was about ten centimeters long and close to the thickness of a lady's cigarette, and asked blankly, "Dad, what is this?"
Tao can't be like an initiation in an instant.
"White lotus, give it to me. He took the necklace from his daughter's hand, then found his tools and gently removed the pendant from the clasp. He held the gold bar and was stunned for a long time.
"Now that I have the key, where can I find the lock?" he kept shaking his head, and his mouth was full of words, and at first glance he looked like a madman.
"Key?" Tao Baihe looked at him inexplicably, "What key?"
"It's nothing, you go and do your homework, I'm going to be busy for a while. Tao was unable to put the gold bars in his handbag and began to wear clothes for the outing.
Tao couldn't suddenly remember that in the Mo family's old mansion, on the bedroom wall of Mo Linshu and Guan Yingqing, there was an oil painting of two people leaning their heads together and smiling. He clearly remembered that Mo Linshu once proudly said that it was painted by Mous himself.
In 1985, when Maeda was "digging three feet into the ground" at the Mo family, he also noticed this oil painting. However, when Maeda ordered someone to take down the painting, he did not find anything hidden behind it.
Maeda didn't know about the existence of the necklace, so naturally he didn't find a detail - on that oil painting, Mo Linshu did not wear a necklace. And when the latter met Guan Yingqing, he was already over 18 years old, and it was theoretically impossible not to wear a necklace.
Tao couldn't hurry to Mo's house and entered the bedroom. He pulled the dusty curtains to the side, letting the moonlight shine into the gloomy room. By the moonlight, he reached out and dusted off the ashes on the oil painting, and then placed the gold bar on Mo Linshu's neckline, and then, he made a surprising discovery: between Mo Linshu's two collarbones, there was an inconspicuous and extremely faint "mosquito coil" watermark, just the size of which was inserted into the gold bar.
Tao couldn't be so excited that his hands trembled, he held down the picture with one hand, and gently pressed the gold bar against the watermark with the other.
But as soon as he let go, the gold bar fell to the ground.
Tao couldn't pick up the gold bar, took out his lighter, and looked at the picture carefully for a while, only to find that there was a fine film on the surface of the oil painting. He put away the lighter, fumbled carefully along the frame, and tore off the film.
The picture immediately became clear, and in the dark night, Mo Linshu and Guan Yingqing seemed to be looking at him.
Tao couldn't close his eyes, he silently said in his heart: "It's dead, don't delay Lao Tzu's business." ”
After chanting, Tao couldn't open his eyes, and he felt much calmer. Then, he lit the lighter again, pointed the gold bar at the watermark, and inserted it hard.
The painting broke, and something wonderful happened.
The bar spun at first, then slowly sank into the painting, and finally disappeared.
Tao couldn't wait quietly for a while, until he could no longer hear any sound, and then gently grabbed the oil painting and removed it from the wall.
At this moment, a keyhole appeared in the wall, and the gold bar was stuck in it, leaving only a piece that was not much longer than a cigarette butt exposed.
Tao couldn't stare at the bar of gold, like staring at a burning dagger. He had been in the amber business for many years, and had heard some rumors about the mechanism behind the mysterious treasure. Perhaps, if he opens this wall, he will discover a shocking secret, but he may also give his own life.
Tao couldn't stare at the gold bar for a moment, and suddenly, he sneezed "Ahhhhhhhhhhhh The bedroom window had fallen into disrepair and had a large slit, and the cold evening breeze blew in through the crack, making him shiver a little.
"it!" Tao cursed, then stepped forward, grabbed the end of the bar, tried to push it in, and quickly retreated to the window.
The gold bar was trapped.
After a "click" sound, a small wooden door slid open on the wall, revealing a small alcove. In the alcove, a metal box the size of an adult's fist sits squarely.
Tao couldn't look around, couldn't find anything to do, so he pulled off a curtain with all his might. Then, he wrapped the metal box in a curtain and took it out.
"What's in it is a nuclear carving. Mous interrupted Tao's recollections, "But this is also futile, the nuclear carving falling into your hands is tantamount to a pearl in the dust, because you stupid person will not be able to penetrate the mystery inside no matter what." In order to better study nuclear carving, you even redecorated your house and built a basement. ”
Tao couldn't help but look at Mous in disbelief, "How do you know about my basement?"
But Mous did not answer his question, but continued to speak to himself. "At the end of 2001, you couldn't hold back for a while, and asked someone to inquire about the nuclear carving, but the news reached the ears of the 'Buren Society'. So, in the spring of 2002, they sent their right-hand man Nan Zeyu to be your leader. Ostensibly to protect your security and assist in leading you to track down the whereabouts of the Amber Palace, it is actually a surveillance on you. In order to win people's hearts, Nan Zeyu even proposed to marry your daughter, Tao Baihe. ”
A cold light shot out of Tao Fu's old eyes, "You've been watching me?"
Mous laughed, "The person who is spying on you is not me, it is the 'Unkind Society', do you still need me to remind you of this?"
Tao couldn't lower his head and was silent for a while before he said, "I think, you've seen my brother." ”
"Yes, I've seen Tao Wutian. Mous had a meaningful smile on his face, "He recognized me." ”
"I now understand why the second child wrote like that in his suicide note. Tao couldn't be affectionate, "He knows that I can't escape." ”
"Do you want to run away from doing such a thing to my grandson?" Mous smiled and said coldly, "On the night of September 13, 2002, you killed Lin's mother and blamed others, which is really a good calculation. ”
"Mother Lin didn't kill me!" Tao couldn't struggle and raised his head, "It's Nan Zeyu!"
