Chapter 169: True and False Truth

"Fengzi. It's been less than three hours since I came back, why do you want to go to Nanhe City again?" asked Liu Sheng as he drove in front of him.

"Jiao Yaohou, the museum curator who asked us to borrow the ancient plant dragon vine, grandpa said that he is not the real curator, and he has another purpose for our dragon vine, and it is possible that we have been used. ”

"I said, on that day, why did they just want to check the two antiquities in the basement without formalities? Liu Shengdao didn't think that he was right to stop them at the beginning.

"I was careless and didn't look at their documents. ”

"It's useless. If they really want to do it, they must have prepared it beforehand. Chen Xiaoyan said.

"Katsuko, what is the dragon vine? What are you talking about the dragon vine, what museum is it? I don't understand it. Hu Xinyi, who was in the passenger seat, asked.

"The dragon vine is a plant planted in ancient tombs, feeding on small animals that have strayed into ancient tombs, and is extremely aggressive, with multiple tentacles, which secrete strong corrosive liquids and can overflow psychedelic gases. It generally does not live in human habitation and is an ancient plant that may be extinct today. ”

Zhuo Feng briefly introduced.

But when Hu Xinyi heard such an introduction, she was so frightened that she shouted: "Shengzi, the place you went to deal with such a thing a few days ago?"

"Brother Sheng, are you?" Liu Sheng was a little proud.

"Brother Sheng, you are too powerful. I adore you so much. Hu Xinyi wanted to feed Liu Sheng apples again, but Chen Xiaoyan bowed down and held her move, shaking her head lightly, indicating that it was too dangerous.

Hu Xinyi ate the apple unhappily.

I'm obedient, is this to bring out to relax, or to show affection, this doesn't look at the circumstances, on this highway, can you distract the driver so casually?

Zhuo Feng was also speechless. When I turned around, I saw that Chen Xiaoyan had been staring at herself, glancing at the apple, and then at herself.

"Sister Xiaoyan, give, Apple. Hanwa handed over a peeled apple from Zhuo Feng's right, and smiled.

When Zhuo Feng saw this apple, he immediately understood what Chen Xiaoyan meant, and he couldn't wait to find a hole to get into.

"Fengzi, then let's go to Nanhe City this time, are we going to recover the dragon vine?" Liu Sheng couldn't take out his hand to comfort his girlfriend, so he changed the topic and asked.

"Chasing, it's definitely not going to catch up, we don't know anything about the other party, let's go over and feel the situation first. Also, when you arrive in Nanhe City, go to the real estate agency to see the restaurant first. ”

"Hmm. Got it. ”

Liu Sheng turned on the car navigation system, arrived in Nanhe City four hours later, and came to the intermediary company according to the navigation route.

Manager Hu saw that they had just commissioned a restaurant here two days ago, and they came over again today, so he hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.

"The two bosses came over today. I just have good news for you: someone in your restaurant has bought it. ”

Zhuo Feng and the others looked at each other, it took less than three days for them to be sold, is it so fast, so magical?

"That's right, someone came to buy a restaurant with a letter of introduction from Director Jiao Yaohou. I was also surprised at the time, how could someone come to invest in a restaurant so quickly?"

Seeing Zhuo Feng's puzzled faces, Manager Hu explained again.

But when he said this, Zhuo Feng and the others were even more confused. This Jiao Yaohou is a fake curator, how can he help him sell the house? What the hell is going on here!

"Did you indeed come to buy the restaurant with a handwritten letter from Director Jiao?" Zhuo Feng asked.

Manager Hu turned around and walked back to the office, and after a while, he came back with a letter in his hand and handed it to Zhuo Feng.

"Don't you believe it? That's the letter. ”

Zhuo Feng opened the letter and read: An investor has come to you to negotiate the sale of Yaoxing Restaurant, and I have negotiated with him for an amount of 4.5 million yuan, and you can handle this matter with full authority and serve carefully. Jiao Yaohou.

Zhuo Feng showed the letter to Chen Xiaoyan.

At this time, Manager Hu took a check.

"You came to sell the Bright Star Restaurant to us that day, and this man came the next day. It seems that he is still in a hurry. Urging us to make a transaction quickly, we happened to have a complete set of formalities in hand, and went to the real estate transaction center with him in the afternoon to complete the procedures.

The man took the keys and the new title deed, paid the check, and someone came and took him. The amount on this check is deducted from the relevant expenses, and then the two bosses and our intermediary company agreed, and the rest of the money is a total of 3.73 million, please take it. ”

After deducting the cost of buying this restaurant, the net profit is 3 million, and it seems that this transaction is very cost-effective.

"Fengzi, I've made a lot of money all at once. Liu Sheng stepped forward and looked at the check and said.

"What's so gratifying, the more valuable antiquities have been fooled away. Zhuo Feng hung his head.

But when he thought about it, Jiao Yaohou didn't break his promise, and he really introduced someone to buy his own restaurant, why is this? Now things became confused again, and it also aroused Zhuo Feng's curiosity even more.

After leaving the intermediary company, according to the navigation, the group came to the Nanhe City Museum again.

In front of the gate, a middle-aged man who looked like a security guard stopped everyone.

"Who are you looking for? Now the museum is overhauled and closed to the public. The man said.

Zhuo Feng took out the business card handed over by Jiao Yaohou before, and said politely: "I'm sorry, we want to find Mr. Jiao Yaohou, the director of your museum, and I have something I want to ask." ”

"Who? what curator?" the man didn't seem to hear the name of the person they were looking for.

"Director Jiao Yaohou. Zhuo Feng affirmed again.

"Our Nanhe City Museum, one main curator, three deputy curators, none of them surnamed Jiao. Are you sure you remember the wrong name?" the man was a little impatient, feeling that the group had not figured anything out, so he came to inquire.

"I'm sorry, maybe we misremembered. Is that okay with the next one of them?"

"Ask quickly, during the renovation period now, there can be no outsiders wandering outside the gate. The man was on his guard.

"Then may I ask if there is a staff member like Hu Songquan in the museum?" Zhuo Feng asked again.

"Hu Songquan, he is just a consultant in our museum, but he is a supernumerary and occasionally comes to the museum. Are you looking for him?" said the man.

"Yes, yes, yes. ”

But he had just gone to the northwest with an archaeological team two days ago, saying that there was a major archaeological discovery. He was not on the list of people who originally traveled, but I don't know why, his name was at the end of the final list. The man said again.

Zhuo Feng was surprised that a security guard knew these things so clearly, and couldn't help but look at the middle-aged man in front of him again.

This person is about 50 years old, his eyes are bright, and the vicissitudes of time are imprinted on his cheeks, but he makes people see more kindness, and at first glance he is the kind of well-informed and knowledgeable person, who does not look like a security guard at all.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're supposed to be someone in charge of this museum, not the security guard at the door. You know everything about the inside of the building, you talk freely, and you are always cautious, which is not something that a security guard can do. Zhuo Feng stepped forward and questioned.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect to be seen by a young man like you. I am one of the three deputy curators in this museum. However, the curator Jiao Yaohou you inquired about, we really don't have this curator in the museum. The deputy curator said.

"Thank you for informing me. I would also like to ask, did Hu Songquan, a staff member in the museum, really set off with the archaeological team?

"It's a secret in the museum, and I can't comment on that. The deputy curator waved his hand.

"Hello, I am Chen Yucai's own granddaughter, my name is Chen Xiaoyan, and this is my grandfather's handwritten letter. We really have urgent matters to find Hu Songquan, and it may also involve the theft of the ancient tombs in the northwest, so please be able to disclose a little bit conveniently. Chen Xiaoyan said.

"Chen Yucai, but what about Chen Yucai, the honorary chairman of the China Cultural Relics Association?" The deputy curator took the letter handed over by Chen Xiaoyan and looked at it, it was really Mr. Chen Yucai's handwriting, and he was even more convinced of the group of people in front of him.

"It's Grandpa. ”

"How is the old man, I haven't seen the old man Chen for more than ten years. Think about it, I listened to an open class on cultural relics from the old man at that time, and I really benefited a lot. Come on, come on, come in, and I'll tell you about this archaeological trip to the Northwest. ”

"Thank you for your concern, Grandpa is still in good health. Chen Xiaoyan said, and entered the conference room with the deputy director.

After everyone sat down, the deputy curator said: "My surname is Xie Antao, and I am in charge of the maintenance and maintenance of the museum's protection and setting of cultural relics. ”

"Hello, Director Xie. Everyone hurriedly said hello.

"We really don't have a curator surnamed Jiao, called Jiao Yaohou, and I don't know why he faked such a position, I don't know what you are looking for him? What does it have to do with this archaeological trip to the Northwest?"

Xie Antao asked.

"We won't hide it from you, I'll tell you the truth. You probably already know about the noisy Bright Star Restaurant in your city, right? That's what I bought, and I found two antiquities in the basement of the restaurant. ”

Zhuo Feng said the beginning and looked at Director Xie Antao.

"Well, I've heard of that. It's a sensation in Nanhe City, you continue. ”

"The two antiquities we found in the basement were the ancient sunken wood and the dragon vine. Zhuo Feng said.

"Is the dragon vine a kind of ancient tomb plant that Elder Chen mentioned before?" Xie Antao looked at Chen Xiaoyan.

Chen Xiaoyan nodded: "Grandpa said that he mentioned this plant that lives in the ancient tombs of the Northwest Desert at a cultural relics exchange meeting. ”

"I believe that Gu Shenmu does not need my introduction, you are an expert, you must know this wood. Now let's talk about this dragon vine, the dragon vine was indeed first found in the ancient tombs of the northwest desert, but now it has been transplanted in the human living area by people, artificial spirits. What kind of specific method is there to enlighten this dragon vine, it is inconvenient to disclose it here.

"Now I want to tell you that this dragon vine has another function: it can detect the other dragon vines that are still alive in the ancient tomb today. It is very straightforward to mean that the dragon vine can lead everyone to find another desert tomb. ”

"Through one dragon vine, find another dragon vine, there is such a strange thing? If you don't get the dragon vine in your hand, wouldn't it be easy to explore another ancient tomb?" Xie Antao said excitedly.

"It is for this reason that the chance of finding an ancient tomb can be increased to 80%. Zhuo Feng said.

"And where is the dragon vine you found?" Xie Antao asked eagerly.

"That's why we came to your pavilion today to inquire about Jiao Yaohou. Zhuo Feng said.

"You mean this dragon vine is related to Jiao Yaohou?"

"It's not related, it's that he directly deceived the dragon vine from us. ”

Zhuo Feng explained in detail how Jiao Yaohou and Hu Songquan deceived the dragon vine that day on the pretext of shooting a documentary.

"Unthinkable, I can't imagine that Hu Songquan would collude with others to forge documents and do such a thing, and I will definitely truthfully report it to the curator and the relevant departments of cultural relics, and remove him from his position as an adviser. ”

Jiao Yaohou said angrily.

Chen Xiaoyan said: "Now is not the time to be angry, we are now mainly to obtain the purpose and roadmap of their trip to the Northwest Desert for archaeology. Curator Xie, look, can you easily reveal a little bit about their whereabouts?"
