Lin Xi saw the jade pendant in Xia Baihe's hand, his expression suddenly moved, he carefully studied it for a long time, and finally determined the idea in his heart: "I see." ”

Xia Baihe looked at Lin Xi's muttering, and only felt very strange, she pulled the corner of Lin Xi's clothes, and said with a puzzled expression: "What's the matter, did you find something?"

Lin Xi didn't answer Xia Baihe's words immediately, but stared at Xia Baihe for a long time before taking a deep breath and saying, "I think, I should know where to find your mother, but the premise is that this jade pendant must be left to you by your mother." ”

"It's natural, and I'm sure Dad won't lie to me. Xia Baihe nodded, but the doubts on her face became heavier, and she urged: "Don't sell it, tell me what's going on?"

Lin Xi didn't mean to play a dumb riddle for Xia Baihe, he returned the jade pendant to Xia Baihe, and said, "Do you know what the patterns on this jade pendant mean?"

Xia Baihe took the jade pendant and looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't see the reason, so he had to shake his head.

"It's a long story, don't be stupid to stand here, let's find a place to put our luggage first, and we'll tell you slowly. After Lin Xi finished speaking, he stopped a taxi.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at a hotel in Tokai City, checked in, and returned to their rooms.

"Now you can say it, if you dare to fool me, see what I do to clean you up!" Xia Baihe stared at Lin Xi, that posture, it seemed that as long as Lin Xi dared to say a word, she would immediately rush up and give Lin Xi two powder punches.

Lin Xi smiled and said, "When did I lie to you, this jade pendant is carved with the Dragon Palace." ”

"Dragon Palace?" Xia Baihe was obviously stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said with a roll of his eyes: "You treat me as a three-year-old child, do you still want to say that my mother is the princess of Dragon Palace?"

"......" Lin Xi was speechless, and he explained, "I mean, the carved thing on your jade pendant is exactly the same as the description of the Dragon Palace that I once saw in an ancient book. ”

Xia Baihe looked at the jade pendant in his hand and thought thoughtfully.

Lin Xi pondered for a moment and continued: "Legend has it that there is a small fishing village on the east coast, and by chance, the fishermen of the small fishing village saved the princess of the Dragon Palace, and the princess of the Dragon Palace left a jade pendant engraved with the pattern of the Dragon Palace to repay the fishermen. It is said that the jade pendant has been passed down by them as a token to this day, and according to the records in the book, it is inseparable from the description in your hand. ”

"This has nothing to do with the Dragon Palace, besides, many of the legendary things are not credible, okay?" Xia Baihe said disapprovingly.

"......" Lin Xi was a little speechless, he said it so clearly, why didn't this girl understand what he meant, "I mean, maybe we can go to that small fishing village to find clues." ”

"That's right, then let's go find that small fishing village!" Xia Baihe reacted and pulled Lin Xi to set off.

Lin Xi said with a wry smile: "That's just a record in the book, although the appearance of the jade pendant confirms that the small fishing village is real, but after so many years, where do you go to find it?"

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what do you say?" Xia Baihe was about to cry, and finally learned about his mother's whereabouts, did he have to give up?

Lin Xi was about to speak when his mobile phone rang, he glanced at Ouyang's call, he didn't dare to delay, he hurriedly answered, and a voice immediately came from the other end of the phone: "Where are you?"

"Hotel. Lin Xi gave Ouyang the detailed address.

After listening to this, Ouyang said, "In five minutes, I will wait for you downstairs in the hotel." ”

Lin Xi just hung up the phone and found that Xia Baihe was staring at him with slightly squinted eyes: "Lin Xi, are you hiding something from me?"

Seeing Xia Baihe's aggressive gaze, Lin Xi also knew that he couldn't hide it, so he briefly told her about his deal with Wang Jiong.

"There is such a fun thing, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Xia Baihe said with great interest.

"Aren't you still going to find your mother?" Lin Xi was a little helpless.

Seeing Xia Baihe like this, it is impossible to leave her alone in the hotel.

"Isn't there no clue for the time being, don't be in a hurry, sweeping drugs is so interesting, I must participate!" Xia Baihe said briskly.

Although she also wanted to know her mother's whereabouts, but there was no way to find it now, it was better to divert her attention and relax.

Shaking his head, Lin Xi didn't feel at ease about leaving Xia Baihe alone in the hotel anyway, so he simply left here with Xia Baihe.

Coming downstairs to the hotel, a black sedan stopped in front of the two of them after a while, the window rolled down, and Ouyang appeared in their eyes.

However, unlike in the past, today's Ouyang is no longer wearing a camouflage uniform, but wearing a suit and tie, just like a business elite.

"What did you sing today?" Lin Xi quipped, the Ouyang he knew, except for camouflage clothes and casual clothes, he had never seen him wear such a formal outfit.

Ouyang glanced at Lin Xi, he didn't want to dress like this, but it was all arranged by his boss, and there was no way.

When Lin Xi and Xia Baihe got into the car, Ouyang kicked the accelerator, and the car suddenly sped away.

Lin Xi still didn't know much about this operation, and asked, "Where are we going?"

"Auction!" Ouyang said.

When Lin Xi heard this, he was even more puzzled, they are here to sweep drugs, what kind of auction are they going to?

"No, could it be that they still dare to take drugs to the auction for auction?" Lin Xi expressed his doubts.

Ouyang didn't intend to hide it from Lin Xi, he glanced at Xia Baihe, so he said: "That organization is not only selling drugs, but also reselling cultural relics, the Wang Bureau has arranged another team of brothers to investigate the matter of drugs, our main task is to get cultural relics, and then find out the guy who resells cultural relics." ”

"I see, it's not fun at all. Xia Baihe couldn't help muttering.

Lin Xi didn't say anything more, he subconsciously felt that things were not as simple as Ouyang said.

Maybe there is a bigger secret behind this that he and Ouyang don't know, or Ouyang knows, but he doesn't tell himself,

Soon arrived at the destination, a building in the center of the city, there are many security guards outside, and if they want to enter the inside, it seems that they have to verify some pass or something.

Just when Lin Xi was observing, Ouyang handed over two cards: "This is something that is necessary to enter this place, you put it away, fortunately, I asked for one more from the Wang Bureau before, and we will act separately when we go in, you go to the auction to keep an eye on the cultural relics, and I will look at the people." ”

"What is that cultural relic you are talking about?" Lin Xi didn't know what the cultural relics Ouyang had been emphasizing were now, and he couldn't help but wonder.

Wang Jiong's guy is really speechless, he chose to cooperate with him, but he didn't tell him anything, he didn't have any sincerity at all, if he didn't still have a handle in Wang Jiong's hands, he would have picked on it a long time ago.

Ouyang could also see that Lin Xi was resentful, so he didn't say much, just handed him a photo.

Lin Xi took the photo and looked at it, it was a small bronze tripod, and there were some dense words engraved around the top wall, which could not be seen clearly.

"This is the cultural relic we are looking for this time, when we see it, no matter how much it costs, we have to take it down, and someone will come out with the money. Ouyang instructed.

Lin Xi nodded, although he wanted to know what Ouyang was referring to, but Ouyang obviously didn't mean to say it, it was useless to ask questions, it was better not to ask, and when he had that ability, he would naturally know.

Thinking like this, Lin Xi put away the photo and Xia Baihe got out of the car and walked towards the entrance of the auction.

The security guard stepped forward and stopped them with a blank face.

Lin Xi and Xia Baihe shook the cards in their hands, and the security guard immediately changed into a respectful look and made a gesture of invitation to the two.

Lin Xi pulled Xia Baihe towards the building, there were not many people here, he just glanced at it lightly, and found that there were many hidden miniature cameras here.

If it was just an ordinary auction, it would naturally be impossible to achieve this level of monitoring, and it seems that as he thought, this auction is not simple.

Then the two of them went to the place where the auction was held, and found an inconspicuous corner to sit down.

It didn't take long for the auction hall to be full, when the lights at the top of the lobby suddenly went out, and then a bright light hit the booth in front.

Lin Xi looked over and saw a woman in white slowly walking up to the booth.
