Chapter 66 Hong Kong businessman Tan Fangshen

At noon, Lu Shen and I just had lunch, I received a call from the fat man, the other party asked me about my current situation, and then reported to me about the New Year's goods, and then we talked about some strange things about the Lu family on the phone, the fat man said to me mysteriously after listening: "My dad said most often that in a case, the more normal people look more suspicious"

I don't know if he said it in a meaningful way or if he was just trying to say it casually, but anyway, I didn't take it seriously.

Hung up the phone, Lu Shen and I went down to the underground studio again, looking for some clues, of course, I am not a policeman, nor do I have their kind of reasoning and case handling mind, but the two of us found some traces of scrubbing, I guess that maybe what was wiped off is what Lu Zhi said, the green liquid that flowed out of the rosewood, it seems, it may also be artificial, but who is this person, under Lu Shen's exclusion one by one, no one has a motive, so, the loss of this wood, it can be regarded as the end of the first.

The next thing we have to wait for is the most crucial person, Mr. Shin, who sent the wood.

Sure enough, he didn't disappoint me, and as evening came, the so-called Mr. Shen called me and told me that he was already outside the door and asked me to open the door.

Mary opened the door of the villa, and standing outside the door was a middle-aged man about forty years old, a little chubby, although this man did not look good on the outside, but the well-cut suit and woolen coat looked very rich!

As soon as the man entered the room, his eyes quickly looked around the hall, and as soon as he saw me and Lu Shen, he hurriedly walked towards the two of them, and just stood on his feet and asked, "Who called me?"

Lu Shen pointed at me, and said in a somewhat stiff tone: "This is Zhong Xiaoxian, who came here to deal with this matter, I don't want to investigate why you sent those two pieces of harmful wood here, as long as you can tell us the ins and outs, the problem is solved, then everything is easy to say, otherwise, even if my Lu family is bankrupt, you will definitely not be able to eat and walk around."

The middle-aged man touched the sweat on his forehead, sighed and said, "This brother, I am really forced to do all this, and I am not much better than you, but seeing that you are fine, I am relieved."

Obviously, this middle-aged man mistook Lu Shen for his brother Lu Zhi, but from the meaning of his words, he should have encountered something, and this incident added a lot of trouble to him.

"What do you mean to see that I'm okay and you can rest assured, do you want me to die or what?"

Originally, Lu Shen saw that this man was relatively calm, but when he heard what he said, he was not calm, but it was his words that made the middle-aged man have a moment of doubt, and then asked, "Aren't you Mr. Lu Zhi?"

"Lu Zhi is my brother, I am Lu Shen, and my brother is bedridden now that he was killed by you, if you don't explain it today, don't want to leave here"

The more Lu Shen spoke, the more excited he became, and he grabbed the middle-aged man's neck a few steps forward, and clenched his fist with one hand and saw that it was about to fall on the other party's face.

The middle-aged man hurriedly reached out to cover his face, and shouted, "Don't...... Little brother, don't get excited, I didn't mean to hurt your brother, but that thing, let me come"

"Something, what?"

I got up and pulled Lu Shen away, then stared at the middle-aged man and asked him.

The middle-aged man first glanced at me gratefully, and then his tone was very helpless and scared, "It's the things in that piece of wood, to be honest, Zhong Xiaoxian, I can't send it!

I asked, "Poisoning? What do you mean by that?"

"Hey, look......" The middle-aged man said as he took off his woolen jacket, then took off the suit inside, and then rolled up his sleeves, and suddenly, Lu Shen and I saw a large black patch on his arm.

This black patch is exactly the same as the one on Lu Zhi's body.

"It's just a small part, it's bigger on my back, and my son and my daughter-in-law are all covered with this patch, I've been to the hospital, but no matter which dermatology doctor is, no one can say what it is"

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man paused, his eyes carefully observed Lu Shen, who was still black-faced next to him, and continued: "Originally, I wanted to go back to ** and take a look, but today I received a call from Zhong Xiaoxian, I think you are the hope of our whole family, so, I came"

I nodded, sat back on the couch, stared at the middle-aged man and said:

"Then your choice is not wrong, this patch is not a skin disease at all, let alone poisoning, but a corpse spot, I can tell you now, if even I can't save you, then you can only go back and prepare the coffin, and the whole family will die!"

The middle-aged man nodded in agreement at first, and then began to shake his head violently, I don't know what he thought in his heart, so I could only continue:

"All you can do now is to cooperate with me, tell me everything you know, don't hide anything, and don't leave anything to chance, otherwise, I dare say, you will never survive for ten days"

When the middle-aged man heard my last words, his body suddenly fell to the ground like a deflated ball, his eyes instantly turned red, and he said with a crying voice:

"My name is Tan Fangshen, I was born in Shanghai, but I followed my parents since I was a child, our family is specialized in the timber business, as the business is getting bigger and bigger, it has slowly expanded to the mainland, I am young, so I took my wife to run in the mainland and **, my son went to school in **, my mother took it, this time he had to come over on vacation and let me take him out to play, I am such a son, it is usually difficult to see him, and I miss him very much, so I agreed, but who knows, so play, I played and had an accident"

"What's wrong?"

At this time, Lu Shen seemed to be angry, sitting opposite me and listening to Tan Fangshen's narration, and cooperating from time to time, so that Tan Fangshen's mood was slightly more relaxed, and he slowly told us all the ins and outs.

According to this Hong Kong businessman Tan Fangshen, after his son was picked up by an assistant to the mainland, he was going to take his wife and children to sign up for a tour group to go to Thailand to play, and met a partner on the plane to Thailand, that person's name is Xie Quanxiang, who is in the furniture business, and his family background is also quite thick.

Xie Quanxiang said that he was going to Thailand to attend a private auction of a wealthy man, and he had heard that the auction was crowned with two pieces of extremely fine rosewood.

Rosewood is the best material in mahogany, suitable for making furniture and carving artworks, although there are more on the market, but most of them are fakes or high imitations, and the real top old materials are indeed available and not sought, Tan Fangshen also said that red sandalwood is not a hundred years old, all real red sandalwood is very precious, so this is a good opportunity for Tan Fangshen, who has been infected with various precious woods since he was a child, so he discussed with Xie Quanxiang and wanted him to take himself to the auction venue.

Xie Quanxiang did not refuse, and also said a lot of similar words about making money together, which made Tan Fangshen very grateful, so after getting off the plane, he directly asked his wife to take the children to play with the group, while he accompanied Xie Quanxiang every day to run around, waiting for the opening day of the auction.

Two days later, in the evening, the auction officially began, and Tan Fangshen followed Xie Quanxiang to a luxurious private club, handed over the invitation card and entered the club.

There are a lot of people in the clubhouse, but all of them are rich businessmen or highly qualified collectors from all over the world, from yellow-skinned and black-skinned to white-skinned, people from all countries have them, and the auction things are also good goods, porcelain, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry, each is not low.

At the beginning, Tan Fangshen also came with the mentality of rising horizons, but when the final finale was displayed on the display table, his heart was not calm.

The large screen of the display table showed the detailed pictures of the two pieces of rosewood on the stage, the hard density, the exquisite texture, the depth of the tone, and the oily brightness of the surface all highlight the value of these two pieces of wood, and after these two pieces of wood were moved to the stage, there is a very special aroma floating around the whole clubhouse, which is close to people's lungs, making people have an indescribable comfort and relaxation.

Therefore, although the reserve price of this rosewood is 10 million, Tan Fangshen at that time seemed to have fallen into an evil spirit, and said to Xie Quanxiang beside him that this wood is indispensable, and showed that he was willing to bankrupt his family and take it down.

Xie Quanxiang did not persuade Tan Fangshen at that time, after all, they are all in the wood industry, and they also know that when a person likes a certain object to the limit, he will be impulsive, besides, although there were many rich people in the auction hall at that time, but for the collection, only if he sees the right eye, he will take out a lot of money to buy, so in the end, after Tan Fangshen marked a high price of 30 million, he finally got his wish and auctioned off these two pieces of high-quality rosewood.

30 million is not a small amount for Tan Fangshen, but for the entire Tan family, it can also be taken out, and Tan Fangshen called his father in ** as early as when he first arrived in Thailand, and the other party also supported him to shoot if he saw good goods, so Tan Fangshen was very happy that he could shoot such two pieces of base.

After that, the two pieces of materials obtained from the auction came to the mainland with Tan Fangshen's plane back to China.

After returning to China, his wife was going to take her son back the next day, and he was a businessman, and it was impossible to collect the material that was shot back with 30 million yuan as the bottom of the box, so he was ready to find a skilled master to process the two pieces of wood again, so as to increase its value and make a lot of money.

Originally, Tan Fangshen's idea was very good, but he never thought that the arrival of these two pieces of wood would put a deadly shackle on him and his family, and all the strange things began on the day he brought the wood home.

That night, after his wife packed the luggage she needed to bring back to Hong Kong, she went to bed early with her son, and Tan Fangshen sat on the edge of the rosewood and began to think about what to build because he was in a good mood, but in his beautiful fantasy, he seemed to hear someone talking, and the source of the sound came from the rosewood, although he didn't hear it clearly, but it also scared Tan Fangshen a lot.

**People are superstitious, they believe in the existence of the Buddha, of course, they are also convinced of the existence of ghosts, and after going to Thailand a few days ago, in a country where there are more Buddhist temples than Chinese public toilets, he is more convinced that the gods and Buddhas and ghosts are also the products of God, so when he heard someone whispering in the wood, his first reaction was to move the Bodhisattva statue he worshiped to the room where the wood was placed, and also burned incense, worshipped, and did all this, he went into the room to prepare for sleep.

According to Tan Fangshen, although he is very superstitious, he has never really seen ghosts and gods since he was a child, and he is still in half-belief, so most of his feelings that night are that he thinks he has auditory hallucinations, and moving the Buddha statue over is also asking for psychological comfort!
