Chapter 479: Blue Onion (Second Update)

By the time Shi Xun finished talking to William, more than half an hour had passed, and Jack was waiting for him in front of the "tomb".

As soon as Shi Xun stepped out of the door, Jack walked forward in a hurry: "How is it?" What did you find!? ”

"Since you're so curious, why didn't you come with us just now?" Shi Xun glanced at him, and then walked towards a lawn in the campus park.

"That damn place, it's enough to go once yesterday, and I don't want to go in again unless I have to." Jack seems to have a lingering fear of initiation, yes, he has been whipped on the back, and now he has difficulty even straightening up, and he is crying bitterly from time to time.

Looking at Jack's appearance, Shi Xun helped him find a park bench, let him sit there with his back suspended, and took out something similar to a medicine bottle from his arms and handed it to the other party.

"What is this?" Jack asked curiously as he held the bottle.

"Yunnan Baiyao, MADEINCHINA."

"What for?"

"Wipe a little on your back, get better quickly, look at me." Shi Xun said, moving his back muscles, looking relaxed.

"I see, I thought it was for drinking." Jack thanked him, put the bottle in his pocket, and asked, "By the way, you haven't answered what I've found?" ”

"I didn't check."

"Didn't check? Aren't you looking for William? How to find it without checking? ”

"Because we've already met."

"You see him!?"

"yes." Shi Xun stood up, "Let's go, accompany me to a place." ”

Jack looked at him suspiciously: "Where are you going?" Isn......'t it going to entrust the family's villa? ”

Shi Xun didn't answer, smiled and walked in the direction of the school gate.

"Hey! Don't go so fast! Wait for me! Jack hurried after him, his expression still painful from the wound on his back.

After a while, the two of them appeared in an antique store, and the shelves were full of all kinds of things, all of which looked quite old, most of which were jewelry and clocks.

"What are we doing here?" Jack looked at the antique goods around him and asked, "Are you going to bring souvenirs for your friends?" But it's all old goods, so it's not suitable for souvenirs, and even if you buy something that you think is priceless, people don't necessarily know the goods, and they think you picked it up from some garbage heap......"

"Do the Tafts like antiques?" Shi Xun asked suddenly.

"yes, what's wrong? This matter is a household name, and their family has invested in dozens of museums. Speaking of this, Jack suddenly reacted, "You don't want to buy something here for them, do you?" ”

Shi Xun nodded: "The day after tomorrow is the birthday of the old man of his family, and many members of the Skull and Bones Club will be invited to the birthday party, of course, including me, so I want to pick a suitable antique as a gift." ”

"I see...... Jack looked a little disappointed, "I invited the members of the Skull and Bones Society, how did I not know about it......"

"Maybe the invitees are all old-timers, I just came with it after meeting William, what's the matter, you want to go too?"

"That's for sure, that's the Taft family, the upper class of society, the top of the pyramid!"

"Okay, you can go with me the day after tomorrow."

"Is this okay? Didn't he just invite you as a newcomer? ”

"It's okay, aren't we all from the Skull and Bones Society?" Shi Xun smiled, "Those who see it have a share." ”

After the two looked at the store for a while, Jack suddenly beckoned Shi Xun to come over in a corner.

I saw that he was holding something similar to a plate in his hand, a piece of porcelain, with mottled marks on it, and blue and white patterns similar to onions were printed on the outer edge and the center of the plate.

"Isn't this just a blue and white porcelain plate? We in China have. Shi Xun said disdainfully.

"Have you ever heard of blue onions?"

"What kind of mess?"

"That's the collective name for a set of royal tableware, called the Blue Onion Series." Jack looked at the plate and said, "It is said that the designer of the year actually wanted to imitate the pomegranate in Chinese porcelain, but the imitation failed, and the pomegranate was painted as an onion, so he made a mistake and simply painted all the patterns of this series into onions, which is the origin of the blue onion series." ”

"So...... This blue onion series is actually a mistake......" Shi Xun dismissed, "and then what about ......?" ”

"Then this set of porcelain was sent to the royal palaces of various royal families and became a symbol of the noble status of the royal family!"

"This shouldn't include China, right?"

"Of course, your China itself is a big porcelain country, how can you look down on the products of other countries?" Jack paused, "So this plate in my hand now must have come out of some royal family!" ”

"So you want me to use this as a gift for William's father?" Shi Xun seemed to hear what Jack meant.

"yes!" Jack nodded, "You see, this is an antique, and it is a royal thing, and giving it to the other party can not only do what he likes, but also show respect for him, isn't it killing two birds with one stone?" ”

"Hmm......" Shi Xun thought for a moment, "That's it, that's it!" ”

After Shi Xun finished paying, he asked the boss to carefully pack the plate, and then left the antique store with Jack with his things, because Jack still had classes in the afternoon, so he left first, but the two had already made an appointment to go to the banquet together the day after tomorrow.

After returning to the hotel, Shi Xun found that the small piece of paper that was sandwiched at the bottom of the crack in the door before going out was gone, and he had already greeted the hotel, and when he left, he must not let the staff come in to clean the room, so every time only when others are there, the hotel will send someone to clean, and he has to knock on the door first and get permission before entering.

Now that the paper is gone, it means that someone has entered the room while he is away.

Shi Xun opened the door with the room card and found that the situation inside was exactly the same as when he left, the placement of items had not been changed, and even the folds of the bedding had not changed, which ruled out the possibility of the hotel service staff coming in.

After closing the door, he put the wrapped plate on the TV cabinet and quietly checked the rest of the place.

Suddenly, he stopped his eyes on the telephone at the head of the bed, although the telephone was no different from before, but it was obviously transferred, because there was a very inconspicuous stain on the transparent # key of the original telephone, which belonged to the kind caused by scratching, so it could not be removed.

Look at the current # key, but it is immaculate, if it is the hotel to replace the telephone, then there is no reason, because the original telephone is normal to use, there is no need to replace.

In this case, there is only one point to sum up, that is to say, today's telephone has other functions besides making calls, and it is very likely to be a bugging device or a camera!
