Chapter 1154: Murder
Shopkeeper Xia said with a red face: "Since the beginning of this morning, I have felt frightened, as if something big has happened. β
Hearing this, Fat Chen asked, "In other words, your sixth sense reminds you that something big will happen today?"
"Yes...... Yes. β
"And is your sixth sense accurate? Have you ever warned you that something big is going to happen before, and then it will work?"
"This ...... I don't remember exactly. Shopkeeper Xia lowered his head.
"So, you kid is unfounded. β
Chen Fatzi said speechlessly: "And even if something really happens and it happens, what do you think you can escape?
"I ......"
Shopkeeper Xia was about to speak, and the satellite phone in Meng Zitao's hand rang.
"Okay, you're almost done, and you'll go to run errands after eating, the store is in Guyizhai, and you will know where it is if you ask the driver. β
After speaking, He Yan hung up the phone without waiting for Meng Zitao to speak.
Waiting for Meng Zitao to say what a grim explanation, Chen Fatzi's face was a little unsightly: "This old immortal actually knows our location!"
"This phone should be able to locate it. Shopkeeper Xia said.
"The mobile phone can locate it, but just like that, he shouldn't even know our chartered car. Meng Zitao looked at the driver next to him.
When the driver saw Meng Zitao looking at him, he asked in English, "Sir, what's the matter with you?"
Meng Zitao knew that the driver would not admit it, and he was too lazy to bother to speak, so he asked directly: "Where is Gu Yizhai?"
"Is it an antiques shop?"
"Yes. β
"It's not far from the jewelry market, do you want me to take you there now?"
"Let's go back when we're eating. β
After lunch, the group was led by the driver to an antique shop.
The antique shop has a modern dΓ©cor and glass window displays where you can see the exhibits outside.
"It's kind of interesting. Chen Fatzi stood in front of the shop window, looking at a jade shop inside,
The ring-shaped ornaments on the door of the first door of the shop are the traditional architectural door ornaments that contain the meaning of exorcism, and most of them are in the shape of the head of the beast. With gold for it, it is called gold shop, silver for it is called silver shop, and copper for it, it is called copper shop. This kind of shop head made of jade is very rare, and it is not surprising that it should be a spiritual vessel.
Meng Zitao walked over and found that this thing was really good, the jade was white and blue, shiny, divided into two parts, and the middle was connected by a wearing rod. The upper part is the King Kong Dapeng bird spreading its wings and standing on top of the two human-faced snake-body elves, and the lower part is the elven body of the two-faced beast body turned up. It integrates openwork carving, openwork carving, bas-relief and other crafts, and has a unique shape.
"Brother Shi, do you think this thing is real or fake?" Fat Chen asked back.
Meng Zitao said: "I think it's true, firstly, the color does not look like a fake, and secondly, there is no problem with the modeling and carving, of course, whether it is true or false, you still need to get started." β
"So what are you waiting for, go in and have a look. Fat Chen couldn't wait to walk into the antique shop.
Meng Zitao asked the driver to wait outside, and he followed into the store with Shopkeeper Xia.
I saw a Chinese young man in his early thirties walking over, and when he saw that Meng Zitao and the others were also Chinese, he politely asked in Mandarin, "Sir, what do you want?"
"Boss, can you show me the pair of jade?" said Fat Chen, pointing to the pair of shops in the window.
The young man smiled and said yes, went straight to the window, took the jade, and handed it to Chen Fatzi.
Meng Zitao only watched from the side, and after Chen Fatzi saw it, he took the jade and looked at it again, and then said: "Boss, we want this jade, how much do you want?"
Chen Fatzi was a little annoyed, obviously he took a fancy to this pair of jade first, but Meng Zitao inquired first, didn't he even understand the rules?
The young man hurriedly said, "Eighty thousand." β
"Good. Meng Zitao handed the jade to Chen Fatzi and pretended to reach out to touch the money, but before the young man could react, he suddenly stepped forward, twisted the young man's arm with his hand, and pressed it back, pressing the young man to the table next to him.
The young man shouted, "What do you want to do!"
Chen Fatzi and Shopkeeper Xia were also confused by Meng Zitao's sudden action, and they couldn't figure out why Meng Zitao did this.
The driver, who was originally outside, also noticed the conflict in the store and hurriedly ran in to ask what was wrong.
"You're not the owner of this antique shop at all, are you?" said Meng Zitao.
"Nonsense, why am I not the boss!" the young man shouted: "Let me go, or I'll call the police." β
Meng Zitao laughed and said: "If you are the boss, how can you give the jade so casually, and this pair of jade should be the treasure of the store, you actually sold it for 80,000 yuan, do you think I am a fool? If I guess correctly, you just want to send us away." β
The young man fell silent, not saying a word.
Meng Zitao said, "Tell me, where is the shopkeeper here?"
"I don't know, I was just hired. The young man said.
"What does the person who hired you look like, is it a man or a woman?" Meng Zitao looked at the young man and said coldly: "I can't say it! I see that you are not hired at all, you say that you don't know where the boss has gone, I think it is the opposite, otherwise, how can I smell blood from you?"
The young man's face changed drastically, but immediately, he showed a strange expression, and immediately after, blood flowed from his nose and mouth.
He ...... Is he dead?" the shopkeeper next to him turned pale.
As soon as Meng Zitao let go, the young man slid softly to the ground, and Chen Fatzi tried the young man's snort and said, "He's dead." β
"Dead ...... Dead man......"
The driver was frightened and wanted to run, but was stopped by Meng Zitao, who said to Chen Fatzi, who was quite normal: "You go and close the door." β
Fat Chen and Shopkeeper Xia hurriedly closed the door, and it was a loss that no one passed by outside, otherwise the matter would definitely be exposed. Regardless of whether they can avoid being involved, this mission will definitely not be completed.
"Tell me, who are you, or go down with him. Meng Zitao pointed to the corpse on the ground and said viciously to the driver.
The driver waved his hand again and again, still begging Meng Zitao for mercy in English.
"Since you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, then go down and accompany him!" Meng Zitao raised his hand and made a gesture of preparing for an attack.
"Don't kill me!" the driver shouted loudly in Mandarin when he saw that he couldn't break free from Meng Zitao's hands at all.
"You're a horse!" Fat Chen rushed directly and kicked the driver twice.
"Oops!" the driver was busy defending himself: "I was hired by He Ye to spy on you, a few big brothers will let me go, I am just eating for a while." β
"Hmph, I think you're in the company of this guy. Chen Fatzi pointed to the corpse on the ground and said.
The driver looked wronged and said, "How come? If I were with him, how could I still bring you here, and I would definitely have to delay for some time." β
Meng Zitao slapped the driver directly on the back of the neck, and the driver fainted without saying a word. β
Meng Zitao said: "Don't worry about this person for the time being, let's not waste time now, let's check what happened here as soon as possible." β
Shopkeeper Xia pointed to the driver in fear and said, "He's not dead." β
"Won't you see it yourself if you're dead or not?" Chen Fatzi glared at him, and then walked towards the back room with Meng Zitao.
Shopkeeper Xia was relieved to see that the driver was breathing normally, and then followed closely.
Walking into the back room, Meng Zitao found that it was a reception room, which looked quite normal, and there was no trace of a fight.
In the room, there are different ornaments on two walls, and the other two walls are leaning against Bogu cabinets, on which are placed exquisite antiques, but Meng Zitao glanced at it and found that there were basically no genuine products.
Meng Zitao sniffed lightly, and his strong sense of smell gave him a hint, and he was about to walk to a Bogu cabinet, when he found that there were some blood stains in front of the cabinet.
Fat Chen walked over and saw bloodstains: "There is blood here!" But why is there blood in this place, is it?"
"Eighty percent of the time. Meng Zitao stepped forward and grabbed the shelf of a Bogu cabinet and pushed it into the empty space, only to hear a rumbling sound, and a door appeared in front of them.
Meng Zitao took the lead and walked inside, this was another room, he turned on the light, and found that there were Bogu cabinets all around, with all kinds of antiques of different values.
"There's a corpse there!"
In the originally quiet room, a cry of horror sounded.
Meng Zitao looked in the direction pointed by the shopkeeper Xia, the deceased was an old man in his fifties, he covered his chest with his hand, it should be a wound, the blood has coagulated there, it seems that he should have been stabbed to death by something.
Meng Zitao walked to the corpse and looked at it, and found that it was a one-hit kill, he closed his eyes and was silent for a moment before he spoke: "It wasn't the person outside who killed him, there should be another killer here." β
"What!" Fat Chen and Shopkeeper Xia both jumped to their feet.
Meng Zitao said: "The reason is very simple, that guy just now didn't have much strength, and this person was stabbed in the heart and died, but he didn't have much fight before his death, which shows that the person's skills are very strong." β
"This, this, this...... Let's go!" Shopkeeper Xia's face turned pale with fear.
Meng Zitao sneered: "Don't you think it's too coincidental today? We just came over, and there was a murder, and the murderer's accomplice directly committed suicide by taking poison, if the police came, would you think we were murderers?"
Shopkeeper Xia's face was pale: "Then what should we do! I don't want to be treated as a murderer and go to prison, I still have a wife and children at home to support me!"
Fat Chen was furious when he heard this: "you, it's time for you, you're still as cowardly as a mouse, believe it or not, I'll beat you to death!" 2k reading web
