Chapter 803: Emerald Watermelon
As in the TV movies, the police are always the last to arrive, and they don't arrive until the bodyguards come back through the back door and tell everyone that all three people, including the young man, are gone. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The police first briefly learned about the situation, and then took everyone to the police station to investigate.
Since Shu Ze had already greeted them before, the police were very polite to them, recorded a record, and let them go back, saying that they would definitely be notified if there was news.
Coming out of the police station, Sima Yuelan was dissatisfied: "Although the food made in that store just now is good, but based on their attitude, I don't think I should go in the future." ”
Everyone agreed, if you want to say that when the incident just happened, the store didn't dare to come, and the police arrived, and the store didn't say a word of concern, so anyone would be unhappy?
After a day of shopping, except for Meng Zitao, everyone else was very tired, and the group returned to the hotel to tidy up their things, Shu Ze asked the bodyguards to sort the things and load them into the car and send them back to the villa in the middle of the mountain, and everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
As for why you want to stay in a hotel, it is also because the place where you are going to play tomorrow is a little far from the mid-levels, it will take at least one and a half hours to take a car, and it will take three hours to come and go, which is a waste of time.
Walking into his room, Meng Zitao took out the things that the young man had secretly thrown to him before.
The thing is actually a small memory card, and it happens that there is a computer and a card reader in the guest room, so Meng Zitao put the memory card into the card reader and connected it to the computer.
Open the memory card, there is a text file inside, open the file, only to see that there is nothing else in it except a local address in Xiangjiang, and a set of passwords.
At this time, it is not difficult to guess the whole thing, it should be that the young man has something very important in his hand, which has been known, and for the sake of safety, he puts the address in the file, and he needs a password to get it.
For Meng Zitao, now the question is whether he should go to this address to take a look, if he goes, what if it is a trap, but if he doesn't go, if the thing there is a priceless treasure, wouldn't it be a pity to miss it?
In the end, it was the boldness of the artist, and curiosity also prevailed, Mencius thought about it, or decided to take a look, with an intuitive reminder, there would be no danger in thinking about it.
Meng Zitao pondered for a while, then took some makeup things downstairs, carefully went out from the back door of the hotel, found a remote place to change his appearance, and then called a taxi to the address mentioned on the document.
There was nothing to do all the way, the taxi stopped at a distance from that address, Meng Zitao got out of the car, turned around a few more times, and came to the place mentioned in the document without feeling that someone was following.
This is a relatively old shop, Meng Zitao walked to the back of the shop, patted the tin door, and after a while, an old voice asked in Cantonese, "Who?"
Meng Zitao never forgot it, of course, learning the language is handy, and he also speaks Cantonese fluently: "My surname is Li." ”
The person inside opened a gap: "I don't know the surname Li." ”
"It doesn't matter if you know it or not. ”
"Who are you looking for?"
"Hello Mubo. ”
Hearing this, the people inside hurriedly opened the door and let Meng Zitao in, and then poked their heads out to look outside, and closed the iron door when they found that there was no one.
After Meng Zitao entered the house, he looked at the surrounding environment, this should be an ice house, and it looked like it had been some years.
Friends who often watch movies in the 80s and 90s in Xiangjiang should be no stranger to the ice house, but they don't know much about what an ice house is, in fact, the ice house is a kind of food and drink place that sells cold drinks, ice cream, smoothies and other frozen foods, which is widely found in Xiangjiang and is considered to be the predecessor of tea restaurants.
The main difference between the ice house and the tea restaurant is that the former only sells snacks and not rice. However, with the change of times, it is difficult for non-food ice houses to survive, so most of them have gradually declined in the 80s and 90s, and the rest of the ice houses also refer to the operation of tea cafes to sell more kinds of food.
Getting back to the point, Meng Zitao looked at the environment of the store, and then set his eyes on the old man who opened the door, this old man looked like he was over seventy years old, his face was wrinkled, he was old, and his back was slightly hunched, but his spirit looked good, especially the weathered eyes, and it could be seen that he should have experienced a lot of things when he was young.
"What about Ah Kuan?" Speaking of this, the old man sighed: "Hey, I shouldn't have asked about this, since you are here, Ah Kuan must have had an accident." I don't care who you are, just one request. ”
"What's the matter?" Meng Zitao asked.
"Ah Kuan has a daughter, and now she lives with her grandparents, my requirements are not high, as long as you provide for her to finish studying, the things will be given to you. The old man said in a discerning tone.
Meng Zitao said: "I can't rashly promise you, depending on the value of the thing, if the value is low, I will provide for her to finish college at most, if the value is high, she has the ability, even if she gets a doctorate, it doesn't matter." ”
"I just say that to you, I believe you. If Meng Zitao agreed directly, the old man would still doubt whether Meng Zitao would fulfill his promise, although he was still a little uneasy, but he still chose to believe in Meng Zitao in his heart.
"Wait a minute, I'll go get something. ”
After a while, the old man brought an alloy box and put it in front of Meng Zitao: "Be careful, don't blame me for not reminding you if something goes wrong." ”
Meng Zitao smiled: "I understand, and besides, you can give me her daughter's information." ”
The old man showed a smile on his face, and handed a piece of paper and a key to Meng Zitao: "It's all for you." ”
Meng Zitao looked at the key in his hand: "What is this key?"
The old man pointed to a small hole on the side of the box and said, "Here, you can only use the password if you use it, remember not to make a mistake." ”
Meng Zitao said in his heart, fortunately, he didn't have the idea of breaking his word, otherwise he would definitely not get this key, if there was any explosive device inside, something would definitely happen when he opened it.
"Mu Bo, do you have any other requirements?" Meng Zitao asked again.
The old man shook his head: "Let's go, don't be seen." ”
Meng Zitao left the ice room with the box in his hand, found a secluded place, and before opening the box, he used his ability, and the result was that he was dumbfounded, except for a few rare treasures he had obtained earlier, the contents of the box were the most valuable treasures
Half a sound, Meng Zitao took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, used the key first, and then dialed the combination lock, only to hear the "pop, pop" two sounds, the box was opened, he slowly opened the box, the first thing that caught his eye was an explosive device, which looked very powerful, and it was something that was fixed and wrapped with foam and other things.
Because the package was relatively tight, and it was inconvenient to be outside, Meng Zitao didn't look much at it, he closed the box again, and considered what to do with the explosive device.
Meng Zitao's first thought was the army, and he took out his mobile phone to make a call.
"Where are you now, Dajun?"
"We have already arrived in Xiangjiang, and now we are about to arrive at the hotel with Osmanthus. ”
"Why are you still doing a surprise attack? ”
"Save you the trouble. ”
"In this way, you settle the osmanthus first, and then come to me, I have something for you to help deal with. ”
"Where are you now?"
"I'm out there now, I'll talk about other things when you arrive, let's meet on the other side of XX Road." ”
"Okay. ”
Half an hour later, the two met at the agreed location.
Dajun was both happy and curious when he saw Meng Zitao: "Why are you disguised again?"
"I can't help it, I have to hide it. Meng Zitao briefly talked about the previous matter.
Dajun had a thoughtful expression on his face: "Hearing you say this, I thought of one thing, when I entered the hotel just now, I found that someone was acting very suspiciously, do you think it will be spying on you?"
"Possibly. Meng Zitao was glad that he was alert, knowing that he went out from the back door of the hotel, and he was also easy to look at, otherwise he would definitely be discovered by the people who were watching, although he was not afraid of these people, but it was more or less a trouble, and what if these people were as crazy as Heihuo?
"It seems that you have to pay attention when you go back to the hotel. ”
Then, Meng Zitao smiled and patted Dajun's shoulder: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen you for a few days, you look a little fatter, and your small life is quite moisturizing!"
The army smirked a few times: "Osmanthus is quite good at taking care of people, or I insist on exercising every day, and I will grow a few more catties of meat." ”
"Osmanthus is indeed a good wife and mother. Meng Zitao laughed teasingly: "However, generally after getting married, many men will become thinner, why are you still fat?"
"How can you get thinner...... Dajun didn't react at first, but after half a sound, he understood the meaning of his words, his old face was a little red, and he immediately coughed lightly and changed the topic: "Let's talk about your affairs." ”
In the end, the matter at hand was more important, Meng Zitao did not tease the army anymore, and said: "There is an explosive device in this box, can you dismantle it? ”
Dajun smiled bitterly: "I know that you are not good, it is troublesome and dangerous to defuse the bomb, so let's deal with it harmlessly." I'll send it to my friend, and you won't have to go, so you won't have to go. ”
"Okay, then I'll go back to the hotel and wait for you first. ”
"Okay. ”
Just now, Meng Zitao went to buy a box, put the wrapped contents into the new box, and handed over the old box to the army to deal with.
The army went to dispose of the old box, and Meng Zitao returned to the hotel, because he was reminded by the army, he was very careful when he returned, and he reached his room without danger.
After locking the door, Meng Zitao opened the box and opened the package.
The moment the things hidden inside appeared in front of Meng Zitao, he was stunned, because the contents of the box were nothing else, but a pair of extremely realistic jade watermelons.
After a while, Meng Zitao came back to his senses, and he finally understood why the ability gave such a high estimate, which was clearly Cixi's pair of emerald watermelons!
Cixi's cherished jade watermelon has always been talked about by the world, it is said that this pair of jade watermelons is a treasure of Fanbang's tribute, which was naturally generated in Kunlun Mountain, and later only after some simple carving. This pair of jadeite watermelons is very exquisite, and it is naturally generated, so it was worth 5 million taels of silver at that time, which shows its preciousness.
Now we all know that in addition to green, jadeite also has red, yellow, white, black, gray, blue and purple, each color has different shades, if a piece of jadeite has a variety of colors at the same time, then not only the meaning is rich, but also more precious.
Cixi's cherished pair of jade watermelons are composed of green, red, and black, the melon skin is green, green, and has dark green stripes, and even the black melon seeds and red melon pulps in the melon can be seen in shadows, which makes people have to sigh at the magic of nature.
Cixi, who was originally fond of jade, loved it like a treasure, and placed it in a jewelry room in the Summer Palace, guarded by a team of three cronies and eunuchs in turn day and night.
However, she was still not at ease, and added a lock to the cabinet. If you want to open this lock, you must insert the key into the cylinder and turn left five times, if you turn the wrong direction, or turn more or less for a half turn, you will not be able to open it. Whenever she was happy, Cixi would ask the eunuch to take out the jade watermelon and play with it to her heart's content.
According to Cixi's confidant eunuch Li Lianying and his nephew's "Aiyuexuan Notes", after Cixi's death, this pair of jade watermelons was placed at her feet and buried in Tanglin together.
However, Cixi never imagined that 20 years after her death, the jade watermelon would be stolen, and in the summer of 1928, Sun Dianying created the appalling Tanglin treasure robbery incident, looting the burial goods in Cixi's tomb, including the pair of jade watermelons, of course.
The whereabouts of this pair of jade watermelons have always been a mystery, some people say that Sun Dianying gave it to Song Ziwen because he wanted to escape responsibility, and some people say that it was not a jade watermelon. There are various other versions, none of which have been confirmed.
Now, decades later, no one has ever seen the pair of emerald watermelons, and people's knowledge of them is limited to the records in the sources. At that time, few people could tell clearly, because there was no information record, let alone a photo reference, so no one knew what the jade watermelon looked like.
Before, Meng Zitao even thought about whether the description of this pair of jade watermelons would be exaggerated? Until now, he did not know that the legend was not exaggerated, and this pair of jade watermelons was indeed vivid, if it was not for a close view, without knowing in advance, he would not have thought that this pair of watermelons was actually made of jadeite.
In addition, there are few traces of this pair of jadeite watermelons artificially carved, which can be said to be created by nature, which is even more precious, and it can be said that they are the world's masterpieces.
