Chapter 14: The Single-Pupil Employer
The torture technique opened the door of the shop, invited He Chenxue into the shop, and personally made tea for He Chenxue, while Tian Lianfeng had been sitting behind the counter and looked at He Chenxue, looking at it and involuntarily exclaiming in a very low voice: "It's so beautiful!" ”
"Thanks for the compliment." Sitting at the table, there was still a distance of ten meters from Tian Lianfeng, and it stands to reason that it is almost impossible to hear Tian Lianfeng's three words He Chenxue replied.
This made Tian Lianfeng embarrassed, and he immediately shrank behind the counter, his face flushed.
Xingshu looked at Tian Lianfeng's appearance and shook his head, brought the brewed tea to He Chenxue and put it down gently, then sat opposite and said, "Miss He, I don't know what to do with me?" ”
"Boss Criminal, can you tell me what you have to do with me first?" He Chenxue said calmly, holding the hot teacup with her hands, holding it with both hands, as if it was very cold.
Xingshu thought for a moment and said, "Miss He, may I ask if you have a jade pendant of Barefoot Guanyin?" It belongs to the type of gold and jade. ”
He Chenxue shook her head: "No, it's not mine, but I can tell you for sure that I am indeed from the Jade Casting Society." ”
He was stunned for a moment, he has seen a lot of people over the years, basically talking to people, whether the other party is lying, he observes the other party's eyes and expressions, and listens to the tone of the other party's speech, he can judge that he is not far from ten, but He Chenxue in front of him is always an expression, and he speaks in the same tone, he really can't judge whether what she said is true or false, and He Chenxue is still wearing sunglasses, and he didn't take them off when he entered the house.
Xingshu nodded, and He Chenxue then said, "But I know who you're looking for." ”
The torture technique was stunned again, and Tian Lianfeng, who was at the counter in the distance, also subconsciously glanced at the torture technique, not understanding what He Chenxue meant.
"She's also from the Jade Casting Society, I don't know where you've seen her, but I'm sure you've seen her, because that piece of barefoot Guanyin she wears with her, and she will never leave her." He Chenxue said lightly.
Xingshu thought for a while and said, "Miss He, I think it was Wei Da Stick who told you that I was looking for you, right?" He was the one who told you the address here. ”
He Chenxue said: "Who said it, what does it matter?" As long as I find you, and the reputation of the criminal boss is so big, you don't need to find someone who knows you, even if you don't know you, anyone who knows your name knows that your shop is here. ”
"Miss He, don't cover up for Wei Da Bangzi, I'll tell you the truth, I don't actually know where you are, who you are, it was only after I showed Wei Da Bang the barefoot Guanyin pendant that he said your name and the auction house where you worked, so, now you tell me that that thing doesn't belong to you, and that person is not you, I really don't believe it." Torture explained calmly.
After listening to this, He Chenxue said: "I asked him to say that, the reason is very simple, because I also want to find the owner of the pendant, and I know that once someone starts looking for her, it means that she has appeared again, so I asked Wei Da Stick to deliberately say that it is me, so that I can see who is looking for her, why is she looking for, and whether I can cooperate with this person and find her together." ”
The torture technique was understood, and He Chenxue came to him for the purpose of finding the woman who appeared in the tube building that night. After thinking about it, he felt that He Chenxue had no need to lie, because he and He Chenxue did not know each other and had no conflict of interest, so she didn't have to make up such a story to cover herself, and create a non-existent person out of thin air to divert attention.
"Why are you looking for her?" Torture asked, Tian Lianfeng looked at He Chenxue nervously, feeling that the mystery was about to be revealed.
But He Chenxue asked exactly the same sentence: "Boss Criminal, why are you looking for her?" ”
Torture lied: "She has something to do with a murder. ”
"No way, she's not the kind of person who doesn't use her mind without being careful." He Chenxue shook her head slightly, "Besides, you are a courtier, not a policeman." ”
Seeing that the conversation between himself and He Chenxue couldn't find a breakthrough point, he thought of a risky way and said directly: "Miss He, you are the green pupil, right?" ”
He Chenxue sat there without answering, sitting quietly, both the torture technique and Tian Lianfeng felt very strange, they didn't know what she was going to do, or did the torture technique tell her secret, she was thinking about how to deal with it?
Two minutes later, He Chenxue broke the silence, took off her sunglasses, looked at the torture technique with a pair of godless eyes, then turned her head, looked at Tian Lianfeng in the distance, and finally turned back: "Yes, I am a green pupil, but I am a single pupil, not a green double pupil in the real sense." ”
Xingshu looked at He Chenxue's eyes, in normal light, he couldn't see anything unusual, and he couldn't find the green, but he could see that He Chenxue's eyes were wrong, as if he was a blind person, but how could a blind person's eyes be so clear?
"There are two kinds of green pupils, one is a single pupil, like me, and the other is a double pupil. At the end of the day, the difference between the two is simple, a single eye is a deep myopic eye, while a double eye is a deep hyperopic eye. He Chenxue then put on sunglasses again, "That is to say, I can't see anything too far, ten meters away is a limit, now I look at Mr. Tian sitting in the direction of the counter, just a very vague outline, but if I look down at the table, I can count how many tiniest lines there are on this table, this is a single pupil." ”
Xingshu opened his mouth slightly, nodded and said, "I see, don't those pupils be able to see far away?" ”
"Yes, but the eyes of the double pupils can only focus on one point, there is no difference between the blind on weekdays, if the point that the double pupils want to see has a strong light source, then the owner of the double pupils stares at the light source point for a certain period of time, and can see that place very clearly, of course, these are what people told me, I am not a double pupil, so I don't know exactly what the double pupils see." He Chenxue explained.
A thought flashed through his mind at this time, and he subconsciously said: "Miss He, is the owner of that barefoot Guanyin pendant a person with double pupils?" ”
He Chenxue nodded slightly: "Boss Xing, you are really as smart as rumored." ”
"Passing the prize." Xingshu said expressionlessly, feeling that things were going beyond his expectations, and that he couldn't control what was going to happen next.
He Chenxue responded calmly: "You are too modest, I think, you must have seen that pair of pupils with your own eyes, right?" Can you tell me where that person is? If you tell me that I'm sure the news is true, I'll give it a generous gift. ”
As she spoke, He Chenxue took out a small brocade box from her bag, and after opening the lid, she pushed the box in front of the torture technique.
"Yi Sun Zibi?!" Xingshu was surprised, because the piece contained in the brocade box was exactly the same as the one he borrowed from Wan Wenyu, but this piece was much more transparent, and when he looked at it from a forty-five degree angle, he felt that the green lines similar to "auspicious clouds" in the jade plate seemed to float on the surface of the jade plate.
He Chenxue said lightly: "This piece is the real craftsmanship of the Bengbu Bao family, with the modern Yizi Zibi made by the Jade King, the hollow word in the middle is written 'Generation Peace', and these four words are combined together, blocking one side and looking at it from a distance, it is like a 'bag' word, which is a secret mark." In the past 50 years, people with this kind of craft have almost disappeared, in the industry, this real jade plate, worth a lot of money, but the only destruction is destroyed in the jade plate materials. ”
Holding the torture technique in his hand, he looked at the hollow words in the middle, Tian Lianfeng in the distance looked at it from a distance, and exclaimed: "It's amazing, it's really a 'bag' word, but isn't the material the Jade King?" Why do you say it's ruined? ”
The torture carefully touched the jade plate and said: "The so-called jade king, in fact, does not exist, generally refers to a kind of top jadeite, this jadeite is very rare, but not beautiful, it can be said to be a scrap, because it can not be carved, I have not seen it, I heard the old craftsman said, in the Second World War, there was a piece in Burma, it was very big, even the explosives could not be exploded, it could only be ground down with diamond a little bit, the hardness is very close to diamond, but it belongs to the jade category, it is very strange, this kind of thing belongs to chicken ribs, it is a pity to throw it away, and it is useless to keep it." ”
Tian Lianfeng nodded: "It's so hard, how did you get into this way?" ”
"Modern technology, the concept of jade carving techniques in the past is divided into clever color, pretty color and color separation, that is to say, the evaluation of the carving craft, is the use of these three levels, clever color refers to the good use of color, pretty color refers to the bright spot of the color on the basis of the clever color, and the color separation is to say that on the basis of the beautiful color of the parts of the different colors are strictly distinguished, it sounds simple, it is very difficult to do." The torture took the jade card and looked at it carefully, refusing to let go, "The ancient method of making jade, using the four procedures of cutting, learning, pondering, and grinding, was called jade in the pre-Qin period, and was called jade in the Song Dynasty, and now it is called carving." But when you break it down, there are a total of 12 complicated processes, but now they are all electric equipment, and a tool called a stone is used, which is set with diamonds. If it weren't for modern technology, this piece of jade king would not be carved like this, and although this thing is hard, it will be brittle after being thin, which is very strange, it is a strange jade, so it can be made like this, it is simply called ingenious. ”
Tian Lianfeng nodded and said, "In other words, the selling point of this thing is actually craftsmanship, right?" But the materials are very frivolous, not valuable, but also worthless, can not be balanced? ”
Xingshu glanced at Tian Lianfeng: "Yes, you understand it correctly this time, this is what it means, if according to the current market price, the starting price of this treasure in the auction house is three million, and it is estimated that the hammer price will reach seven million." ”
"Seven and a half million." He Chenxue corrected, "I once photographed it, and I bought it back, and I made the high-quality imitation you brought." When she said this, He Chenxue finally smiled for the first time.
Xingshu understood her smile very well, this smile was exactly the same as when Wei Dabang smiled and said to others that the fake bottle was made by himself, it was a kind of pride.
"I see." Xingshu nodded, shook his head and smiled, "No wonder you just glanced at it, you knew it was fake, it turned out to be Miss He's craftsmanship, admire and admire, seriously, if it wasn't for a friend's reminder, I would really look away." ”
He Chenxue's smile disappeared, and it returned to its previous calm expression: "Boss Criminal, this is a commission, I want to hire you to do something." ”
"Seven and a half million to find someone, Miss He, this number is too big, and besides, I'm looking for objects, not people." Although the torture technique was very reluctant, he still put the jade card back into the box, and when he was about to close the box, He Chenxue blocked it between the box and the mouth of the box with his hand.
He Chenxue shook her head and said: "Boss Criminal, don't worry, you listen to me after speaking, this thing is not only for you to find people, but also for you to find things, and I promise you that after you find something, I will share one thousandth of you." ”
"Only one in a thousand?" Tian Lianfeng walked behind the torture technique, shook his head and said, "This deal is too cost-effective!" ”
He Chenxue said coldly: "One thousandth of the Qimen, is it less?" ”
As soon as He Chenxue's words came out, the torture technique and Tian Lianfeng were like being covered in electricity, and they couldn't help but shake, and they couldn't say a word.
Did you hear that right? She said Qimen earlier? Torture asked himself in his heart.
He Chenxue seemed to know what was going on in his heart, and then said: "Yes, I'm talking about Qimen, you heard it right, you don't have to pretend that you don't know what Qimen is, Boss Xing, I know that you are a chaser of goods, because your master Zheng Cangqiong is a chaser of goods, you have no reason not to be, don't hide it, you know that I am from the Jade Casting Society, let me know that you are a chaser of goods, there is nothing wrong with this, everyone has secrets in each other's hands, and they all have chips, isn't it fair?" ”
Torture suddenly felt that the cold woman in front of her was too terrible, she came completely prepared, it should be said, she may have wanted to find herself for a long time, but it turned out to be so coincidental, she sent it to the door, no, maybe she was just waiting for herself, like an angler waiting for the fish to be hooked.
Tian Lianfeng looked at the torture technique and wanted to know what to do next.
Xingshu took a deep breath and said: "Okay, Miss He, let's open the skylight and say something bright, and we won't hide it, as a cargo chaser, finding Qimen must be a lifelong goal, but why are you so sure that you can find Qimen?" ”
"The secret is in Twin Hitomi, who is a traitor to the Jade Casting Society." He Chenxue said calmly, "Finding this person is equivalent to finding the key to open the Qi Gate, and she is carrying the secret of the Qi Gate." ”
Xingshu shook his head: "Why do you say that this person is burdened with the secret of Qimen. ”
"Believe it or not, there's only one chance." He Chenxue said coldly, pointing to the watch on her wrist, "I don't have much time, I'll give you ten minutes to think about it, if you don't agree, I can still go to find someone else, you are not the only one who wants to find Qimen." ”
Tian Lianfeng silently raised his hand at this time, saying that he also wanted to find it, but He Chenxue didn't exist at all.
The torture technique glared at Tian Lianfeng, Tian Lianfeng put his hand down, put his back behind his back, and pretended that nothing had happened before.
Ten minutes is not a long time, nor is it short, but in Tian Lianfeng's eyes, these ten minutes are like dismantling a bomb that is about to explode, but the torture technique is playing with the jade card, and it seems that his mind is not at all on considering He Chenxue's proposal, which makes Tian Lianfeng extremely anxious, looking at the torture technique from time to time, and then raising his eyes to see He Chenxue sitting there like an ice sculpture.
Ten minutes finally passed, and before He Chenxue could ask, the torture technique put the jade card into the box and said calmly: "I'm sorry, Miss He, I can't bear this kind of good thing." ”
He Chenxue didn't speak, put away the box, put it in the bag, turned around and opened the door and left, without any hesitation.
Tian Lianfeng chased to the door, and looked back at the torture technique that was still sitting there indifferent, and was so anxious that he spun in place, and wanted to chase He Chenxue several times, but thinking that people would not take care of him, he had to walk back, sit down with his ass, and ask the torture technique: "Are you crazy?" Got the wrong medicine? Qimen! She's talking about Qimen! ”
"Those thousand years of black incense chopsticks are in our hands, and you also know that only through those pairs of chopsticks can we find Qimen, why did she say that Shuangtong knew it? You don't use your brain, and the meat that you take the initiative to send to your door can't be eaten, it's either poisonous or has a fish hook. The torture technique got up and poured out the tea that He Chenxue hadn't drunk a sip.
Xingshu slowly poured tea in front of the washstand, and poured the tea into the trash can, in the whole process, he told himself about his family's past from Tian Lianfeng to everything that happened to the present, and finally pulled the memories to the scene when Tian Lianfeng dropped the chopsticks in the chopsticks barrel during dinner.
Thinking of this, the torture technique took out the pair of thousand-year-old black incense chopsticks, then looked at them together, posed in an X shape, pointed and asked Tian Lianfeng: "What do you look like?" ”
"A fork?" Tian Lianfeng said blankly.
"It's X." Torture Shu tapped the table with his finger, "Do you remember when your grandfather Tian Yunhao died?" It was tied to the limbs and pulled into an X shape, and it just so happened that chopsticks could also be posed in this shape. During dinner, you dropped a few chopsticks on the floor, and two of them looked like this, which reminds me of what your grandfather looked like when he died. ”
Tian Lianfeng tapped his head: "Yes, what does it mean?" ”
"What does X represent other than the unknown?" Torture Shu sat down, "In Tian Yunhao's era, the Chinese would not use X to indicate the unknown, it was all later. ”
Xingshu continued to think, trying to extend the speculation that came to mind during dinner, but after thinking about it, he thought of the food map he saw in a daze, and he suddenly got up and looked at the hand-embroidered Chinese map hanging next to him and said: "There is also X on the map, X represents an important place, it is a mark, and the place where X is located is a mark!" ”
Tian Lianfeng looked at the torture technique, the punishment technique was whispering something to himself, walking back and forth, walking several times, suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Tian Lianfeng and said, "Lianfeng, I know!" I know what's going on! Let's go to the tube building right away! ”
As he spoke, he took something and closed the door and left, Tian Lianfeng followed behind, chasing after the extremely fast torture.
"Are you a cat? If you don't go in the daytime, you have to go to that kind of hellish place at night! After Tian Lianfeng chased to the front of the car, he stood at the window of the car with a sad expression, he was really afraid of the old building.
Torture started the car: "You don't go, I'll go, you wait at home." ”
"Gotta gotcha, I'll go, I'll go." Tian Lianfeng had to open the door and sit in the co-pilot's place, clasped his hands together and said, "God bless, don't encounter any dirty things, Lao Zhang is right, seek wealth in danger, seek ...... in wealth and danger"
