Chapter 143: Director Tao is evil
As for how Long Linna arrested Uncle Scratch, Zhou Xiaolong didn't want to go to see it, let alone go with him.
I feel that Uncle Scratch is involved in this matter, no matter what, whether Uncle Scratch is innocent or not is inseparable from Zhou Xiaolong and the fat bird Bai Zimo.
Uncle Scratch was caught in the bureau by Long Linna, just Long Linna's temper, Uncle Scratch must have to suffer a lot, somehow, Zhou Xiaolong still has some guilt in his heart.
Therefore, Zhou Xiaolong did not follow Long Linna to the happy home to catch Uncle Scratch, but found an excuse to get out of the car in advance.
Zhou Xiaolong wanted to go back to school, but the fat bird Bai Zimo was very interested in Long Linna's battle with Uncle Scratch, so he didn't even say hello, he had already flown home, just waiting to see the excitement.
Moving on to Zhou Xiaolong's side, he stopped a taxi on the side of the road and returned to Jinhai University.
Walking all the way to the door of the dormitory of the Department of Archaeology, Zhou Xiaolong saw that in the open space, the place where the fountain was originally repaired was still the same, the pool had not been repaired, and the excavated soil was still piled outside, as if no one had worked at all in the past two days, and the work had been stopped.
However, it's nothing, it's not about Zhou Xiaolong, it's better to go upstairs, and it's the right way to make up for sleep.
When I first walked into the corridor, a person walked down the stairs, walking slowly, and it looked like he was very old.
As soon as Zhou Xiaolong looked up, the person who came down from the upper floor was actually Professor Cui.
"Professor Cui, why are you?!" Zhou Xiaolong asked subconsciously.
"Oh, Xiaolong, I really ran into you, great, I'm looking for you!"
"Looking for me? What's wrong, Professor Cui?! Seeing Professor Cui's anxious face, Zhou Xiaolong had a premonition that something bad had happened.
"Xiao Tao, he ...... Something happened......" Professor Cui said intermittently.
"Xiao Tao? Who is it?! ”
"It's Director Tao of our Department of Archaeology, he has an accident......
Zhou Xiaolong was shocked, otherwise he hadn't seen Director Tao show up these days, and the pool at the door had also stopped, what happened to Director Tao?!
"Director Tao, what can happen to Director Tao?!" Zhou Xiaolong hurriedly asked.
"Xiao Tao has been unconscious for several days, and the doctor has examined him, but he can't find anything, it seems that the problem is quite serious!!"
"How could this be?!"
"I think Xiao Tao may not be sick, he should be evil......"
"Evil?!" Zhou Xiaolong thought he had misheard.
"That's right, it's the evil ......," Professor Cui repeated.
"Professor Cui, what the hell is going on, why do you say that?!" Zhou Xiaolong felt that even if Professor Cui was more superstitious, he would not be superstitious to this extent.
"If it's evil, it must have something to do with that porcelain pillow......" Professor Cui didn't answer Zhou Xiaolong, but lowered his head and said to himself.
"Porcelain pillow, what porcelain pillow, how can there be a porcelain pillow?!" Zhou Xiaolong was completely stunned.
Then, Professor Cui told what had happened in the last few days-
Director Tao applied to the school to build a small fountain in front of the dormitory building of the Department of Archaeology, and Zhou Xiaolong naturally knew about this.
Director Tao led several workers to start construction, and in that vacant land, he first dug a soil pit, and in the soil pit, dug out a porcelain pillow from the Song Dynasty.
Professor Cui said that the porcelain pillow is no longer used, it is an antique, and the ancients generally liked to use porcelain pillows in summer, and it was very cool to sleep.
But later, the porcelain pillow was slowly replaced, because it was definitely uncomfortable to sleep and too hard, and the porcelain pillow was more used as a funeral item.
As for whether the porcelain pillow that Director Tao dug up was the latter, Zhou Xiaolong didn't see it with his own eyes, and it was hard to say.
Professor Cui continued: "That porcelain pillow, Xiao Tao once brought it to my home, let me see, that porcelain pillow is very ordinary, although it is a thing of the Song Dynasty, but it is not the porcelain of the official kiln, it is an ordinary household, it does not look very good, and it has a hole, it is not a whole vessel, and it is estimated that it is not worth much, however, Xiao Tao seems to like it very much, saying that he wants to sleep on the porcelain pillow, and maybe he can dream of the ancients......"
"That porcelain pillow has a history of hundreds or thousands of years, and it is all used by dead people, will it be unlucky to sleep on it?" Zhou Xiaolong said casually.
"Alas, I didn't think about this at the time, and I thought it was Xiao Tao who said it casually, who knows, Xiao Tao really slept on the porcelain pillow for a night, but when he fell asleep, until now, he never woke up......"
"Ah......h
Hearing Professor Cui say this, Zhou Xiaolong also felt that perhaps, Director Tao's coma really had something to do with the porcelain pillow.
Could it be that you are really evil?!
Since this is the case, Zhou Xiaolong followed Professor Cui and went to Director Tao's house to see if Zhou Xiaolong could help, only when he saw Director Tao.
Director Tao's home is not far away, and he also lives in the faculty dormitory, not too far from Professor Cui's home.
It is said that Director Tao divorced his wife and now lives alone, with only one nanny taking care of him at home.
Professor Cui led Zhou Xiaolong into Director Tao's bedroom, where Director Tao was lying flat on the bed with an off-white porcelain pillow next to the bed.
Zhou Xiaolong looked down and found that Director Tao's face was very bad, but he was breathing evenly, and he would make bursts of snoring, as if he had been in a dream.
The nanny said that Director Tao has not woken up since he fell asleep, nor has he eaten or drunk water, and has been asleep all the time.
Zhou Xiaolong asked the middle-aged nanny: "At that time, when I found that Director Tao couldn't wake up, was Director Tao under his head with a pillow?" ”
Sure enough, the nanny pointed to the porcelain pillow and said, "I was pillowing that thing at the time, but when the doctor came, I took it off and replaced it with an ordinary pillow." ”
Zhou Xiaolong lowered his head and thought about it, then turned back to Professor Cui and said, "Look at it this way, does it really have anything to do with this porcelain pillow?" ”
Professor Cui also nodded, his expression was very puzzled, "I have touched this porcelain pillow with my hands before, and there is nothing strange about it, and besides, I am also normal now, don't believe you pick it up and take a look?" ”
Zhou Xiaolong carefully picked up the porcelain pillow next to the bed, the first feeling was that this thing was very cold, cold and cold, holding it in his hand, it felt a little heavy, it should be an antique.
The surface is gray and white, and there is no floral pattern, one of the four corners is gone, only three horns remain, and the broken one has a black hole that can be put into a finger.
Zhou Xiaolong shook it vigorously, the porcelain pillow was empty, and there was nothing.
Professor Cui reminded: "Xiaolong, can you open the yin and yang eyes and see if there is anything unclean hidden in this porcelain pillow?" ”
At this time, the nanny immediately added: "This porcelain pillow has a lot of soil and mud on it before, and on the day Director Tao took it back, it took a long time to wash it in the bathroom before it was cleaned, and there should be no mud in it......"
Zhou Xiaolong smiled and said to the nanny: "The unclean things that Professor Cui refers to are not soil and mud ......."
The nanny immediately looked frightened and asked nervously: "The dirty thing you are talking about, it won't be ......"
Professor Cui suddenly told the nanny that he was thirsty, so he asked the nanny to go out to boil water and make tea, and finally sent the nanny away.
After the nanny left, without being reminded by Professor Cui, Zhou Xiaolong opened his yin and yang eyes early and looked at the porcelain pillow inside and out, but he didn't see any problems.
Professor Cui urged, "Do you see something wrong?" ”
Zhou Xiaolong looked at Professor Cui and said, "There is really nothing wrong with this porcelain pillow, at least, on the surface, there is no problem......
