What shocked Lin Chuang was that Zhu Daoshan's study was too luxurious.

The study was spacious, about the size of a room and a half.

In the middle to the east is a large desk, behind which is a large bookcase, which is full of books and picture books.

There was a window on the north wall, very high and small, with curtains, which were now ajar.

Under the window, there is a closet on the entire north wall, divided into many grids, but in each compartment is a porcelain vase, a porcelain jar, a porcelain plate, and many scrolls, all of which at first glance are antiques.

The entire west wall is covered with calligraphy and paintings of celebrities that have been framed.

Lin Chuang noticed that there was also a wooden recliner under the west wall, and the recliner was covered with a mat.

In the northeast corner between the bookcase and the closet is a safe.

Lin Chuang saw that this kind of safe was not made of concrete in later generations, to be exact, it could not be called a safe, but should be called an iron cabinet, which was more than one person tall and one arm as wide.

A safe like this has a much lower insurance factor.

One is that the cabinet is relatively light, and three strong men can move it.

Second, the iron sheet is thin, and if it is shipped out, it can be easily cut by gas welding.

Third, it is easier to unlock.

The password of this cabinet is three numbers, and the knob on the left side of the keyhole is engraved with numbers, and after unlocking, you only need to turn left, right, and left again, corresponding to three numbers, and the cabinet will be opened.

In fact, experienced people don't need a password at all, just need a key, open the first lock, turn the knob to the left, and hear a "click" sound.

Although there are so many disadvantages, it is not without advantages.

The advantage is that the cabinet is relatively large, and there are more things to put in, confidential documents and valuables that are not very large can be put in.

For a family like Zhu Daoshan, which has a very tight security, it is actually enough to put such a cabinet in the study.

……

Entering the study, Zhu Daoshan closed the door, sat behind the desk, and let Lin Chuang sit opposite him.

"Lin Chuang, take a look and see if you can find something?" Zhu Daoshan said.

"Yes." Lin Chuang agreed, moved the chair to the back window, kicked the chair to take a closer look, and then looked at the door lock and door handle.

"Sir, the doors and windows are not damaged, and the possibility of picking and locking the windows can be ruled out." Lin Chuang didn't find any traces, so he said to Zhu Daoshan.

"It looks like there's a ghost inside." Zhu Daoshan said with a gloomy expression.

"Sir, may you show me the fake bead?" Lin Chuang asked.

Zhu Daoshan stood up, took out the key, opened the safe in front of Lin Chuang, took out a box, and handed it to Lin Chuang.

Lin Chuang opened the box and saw that inside was a bead the size of a pigeon's egg.

This bead is turquoise all over, and at first glance it looks like a real pearl of the night.

Lin Chuang knows a little bit about antiques, and the Night Pearl also has fakes.

Night Pearl is actually a natural fluorite, which can glow on its own for ten hours when it is exposed to more than 15 minutes of light; In the absence of an external light source, it can also emit light on its own.

Its luminescent principle is that fluorite is working.

Fakes, on the other hand, add fluorescent powder to the stone, which can also glow in the dark, but the light emitted is partial and linear, rather than the whole stone glowing.

"Sir, is this a glass ball or a fake?" Lin Chuangdao.

"It's a fake, very similar in shape and size to the lost original. The genuine is glowing all over and is very rounded, while the fake is scattered. Last night, on a whim, when I took it out to play, I found that it was glowing and scattered, and I knew that it had been transferred. "Zhu Daoshan Road.

"Sir, can you tell me where the real thing comes from? Have you ever had someone else's hand? Lin Chuang asked.

"That bead was given by a friend the year before last, and it is said to come from the folk of Luoyang. After getting this item, I once asked the owner of the Hengtong antique shop to identify it, and the owner said that it should be from the tomb of Guo Guo in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Zhu Daoshan said.

"Except for the Hengtong antique shop, you haven't let anyone else see it, right?" Lin Chuang asked.

"No third person knows except Madame." Zhu Daoshan said.

"How much does this bead weigh?" Lin Chuang asked.

"Weigh three, two, three." Zhu Daoshan replied.

It is more than one or two lighter than Cixi's mouth with a night pearl.

"Sir, how much do you estimate it to be worth?" Lin Chuang asked again.

"The night pearl in Mrs. Jiang's hand weighs four taels and is valued at more than 10 million taels, this one weighs three-quarters of it, and the conservative estimate of the value must be more than one-half of it." Zhu Daoshan said.

Lin Chuang noticed that when he said this, the regret in Zhu Daoshan's eyes was very obvious.

Yes, even if it is one-half, it is worth five million taels of silver and four hundred million yuan.

Such a value will definitely make the treasure thieves sacrifice their lives, and the treasure losers will have heartache.

Not to mention Zhu Daoshan, Lin Chuang also felt a little heartache.

"Sir, you are the only one who has the key to the safe, do you have it, Madame?" Lin Chuang asked.

"Yes, only I have. Besides, the study is very important, and no one can enter it without my permission. Zhu Daoshan replied.

"Who's going to do the cleaning?" Lin Chuang asked.

"Xiaoling. But I've never let her in alone, and I'll be there every time I clean. "Zhu Daoshan Road.

"Oh." Lin Chuang nodded.

After thinking about it, he said, "Sir, I understand the true meaning of your reluctance. The reason why the thieves did not steal the beads directly, but replaced them with a fake, was to give him time to send the treasure out of the house.

In other words, it is very likely that the treasure is still in the mansion now, and he has not had time to deal with it yet, so as long as he investigates secretly, it is possible to find the treasure.

If he investigates it with great fanfare, the thief knows the value of the object, and he will know that if it is revealed, it will be death, so he will definitely find a way to destroy or hide the beads. Such a small object, if you hide it in one place, it is not easy to find. Lin Chuang said.

"Yes, one person hides thousands of people, not to mention that the thief is planning to steal this thing, and he must have already thought of a place to hide the treasure. If he is shocked, it is estimated that even if the entire mansion is demolished, he may not be able to find it. ”

Zhu Daoshan said, and then said: "There is another reason, I am afraid that my wife will be stimulated." Well, she has a bad temper. ”

Lin Chuang nodded, indicating that he understood his concern.

"Sir, when was the last time you played with the real thing?" Lin Chuang remembered another question.

"I watch it every night. In the dead of night, I would lock myself in my study and play quietly by myself. Zhu Daoshan replied.

"Oh, so it was stolen yesterday. Excuse me, were you in the house yesterday? What is the itinerary of the lady and the young master? Lin Chuang asked.

"Don't say it, your question is really a bit ......." Zhu Daoshan recalled, seemed to have a clear understanding, his eyes flashed, and he straightened up and said.
