In the following days, Xingshu stayed at home and kept studying the secrets in the pawnshop behind closed doors, and Tian Lianfeng rushed over as soon as he got off work, and brought something to eat and drink to Xingshu who hadn't eaten for a day—once Xingshu concentrated on doing something, he would be in a state of not eating or drinking, and completely forgetting time.

At the same time, during this period of time, Bai Zhongzheng has also been monitoring the torture technique in the antique city, and he changes his outfit several times a day, passing by the door of the pawnshop of the torture technique from time to time, pretending to come to be a thing, taking a look or two through the glass gap, and then leaving.

On the third day, the torture technique finally proposed to Tian Lianfeng, asking Tian Lianfeng to ask for leave to help him look after the shop, and he was going out for a day.

Of course, Tian Lianfeng had to ask why the torture technique went out? What are you going out for? And the torture just shook his head and didn't explain anything at all.

Helpless, Tian Lianfeng had to ask for leave to stay in the pawnshop, and the torture technique walked directly towards Tian Lianfeng's father's house, but when the torture technique walked downstairs to Tian Ke's house, he accidentally found He Chenxue standing at the door of the community who didn't know who he was waiting for, or He Chenxue, who was about to go in.

The torture technique subconsciously dodged, although He Chenxue had a single green pupil and couldn't see too far, but he still felt that it was better to be careful.

He Chenxue stood in the cold wind, like an ice sculpture, ten minutes later, there was a light snow in the sky, He Chenxue was still standing there, until Tian Ke, who went out to buy vegetables, finally appeared at the door of the community, when He Chenxue passed in front of him, He Chenxue opened his mouth to say a word, after this sentence was finished, He Chenxue turned his head and left, waved a taxi, got into a taxi and left, and Tian Ke stood at the door of the community, in the direction where He Chenxue stood before, as if he had lost his soul.

Xingshu felt strange, and when he was still thinking about whether to come forward and ask, Tian Ke threw down his pocket for vegetables, waved a taxi, got in the car and left.

Xingshu immediately jumped into the car and followed the taxi closely, and then found that Tian Ke was in a taxi that went straight to the old tube building.

At this time, the torture technique has basically been determined, and Tian Ke must know the painting and the secret in that painting.

Then something even stranger happened, when the taxi that Tian Ke was taking arrived in front of the tube building, he suddenly turned around in a narrow alley and drove in the direction he came, but Tian Ke did not get out of the car.

Tian Ke's taxi returned to the gate of the community, Tian Ke gave the money to get out of the car, the mood was very different from before, he walked to the front of the community, took the bag from the security guard, thanked him, and went straight upstairs.

Xingshu sat in the car and watched all this, knowing that it would be too late to go up and ask Tian Ke now, but he didn't understand what was going on in the middle, and the most important thing was what He Chenxue said to Tian Ke.

After waiting for a long time, he decided to leave.

At the moment when Xingshu drove away, Tian Ke, who had been standing at the window of the corridor, held his mobile phone and said to the person on the other end of the phone: "He's gone, now, what am I going to do?" ”

A hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone, apparently disguised with voice-changing software: "Now, you should finish what your father told him in his last words." ”

After hearing this, Tian Ke took a deep breath, and did not have a sad face, not even frowning, but said with a smile: "Okay!" That's great! ”

Xingshu didn't drive back to the pawnshop, because the day was still long, he went to the tube building again, looked at the wall that was carved out of the hole, thought about everything before and after, and then went downstairs and walked straight towards Jiuding Auction, he needed to question He Chenxue in the most direct way, and asked her what she said to Tian Ke.

But when the torture went to Jiuding Auction House to find He Chenxue, he was told by the man with glasses last time that He Chenxue had resigned!

"Resigned? When did it happen? Torture was surprised.

The man said: "Yesterday afternoon, she suddenly brought it up, and then left, I didn't know yesterday, this morning when the boss had a meeting to announce this matter, she is the top appraiser of our auction house, she suddenly left, we can't find such a talent for a while, the boss has gone crazy." ”

Thinking about it, He Chenxue went to see Tian Ke this morning, and went to resign yesterday, indicating that everything was planned, so he had to ask: "I'm sorry, I'm in a bit of a hurry to find her, do you know where she lives?" ”

The man shook his head: "I don't know, Director He doesn't like people to inquire about her private affairs, in fact, in addition to work on weekdays, she never chats with us, over the years of work, we have never had dinner with Director He, went to KTV or anything, she is a very strange person." ”

After the man finished speaking, he felt that he had lost his words, smiled and said that he had gone to work first, let the torture technique be free, and then returned to the office.

Torture stood in the hall of the auction house in a daze, his mind suddenly confused, but a bad premonition had taken shape in his mind, and the person who had the premonition was waving at him, telling him that something was in trouble.

Torture turned to leave the auction house, and when he walked out, he found that he didn't know where to go, because of the sudden change, he had lost his direction, but it was clear that just a few hours ago, the truth was beckoning to him.

In addition to going back to the pawnshop, Xingshu didn't know where to go, he drove back, and when he just entered the door of the pawnshop, he saw such a scene - Tian Lianfeng stood in front of the peerless painting blocked by a canvas, with an expression like a great enemy, and on the chair three meters away from him, he sat He Chenxue, who he was looking for!

The torture brain's mind was messed up again at that moment, he looked at He Chenxue, He Chenxue slowly turned to look at him at this time, and didn't speak, just watched, but because of the relationship between the sunglasses, the torture technique couldn't see what kind of eyes she was wearing now, but even if he took it off, He Chenxue's green single-pupil eyes couldn't tell him anything useful.

"Torture, she came half an hour ago, she didn't speak, she sat down directly, I ......" Tian Lianfeng was a little flustered, one was because he knew that He Chenxue was not easy to deal with; The second is also because Tian Lianfeng is not immune to beauties, he knows in his heart that if He Chenxue walked directly towards him before and asked him to take a look at the canvas, Tian Lianfeng would probably do it like a demon.

The torture technique settled down, sat down, waved his hand to signal Tian Lianfeng to make tea, and as soon as Tian Lianfeng turned around, he immediately approached He Chenxue and said in a very low voice: "What did you say to Uncle Tian in the morning?!" How did you meet him? Why go to him? ”

"If you weren't satisfied with the price last time, I'll add a little more this time." He Chenxue was still chatting about the last time, "Except for the jade plate, I will divide you five thousandths of what I found, and I can't do it more." ”

Torture shook his head: "That's not what I care about right now. ”

He Chenxue said coldly: "You will care, you have to care, just two hours later, you will have to care, and you will take the initiative to cooperate with me." ”

Xingshu smiled, shook his head and said, "Miss He, you think too highly of yourself. ”

"Everyone has a soft underbelly." He Chenxue still said in that tone, "You are the same." ”

"Really? Well, then I'll wait for you quietly for two hours. Torture said coldly.

He Chenxue smiled at this time: "No need, I'll say a word now, I'll leave after saying this, the address I live in now is in a newly built community in Songbei District, where it's quiet, I like to be quiet, I'll send the address to your mobile phone." ”

After He Chenxue finished speaking, she took out her mobile phone and sent the pre-set text message to the mobile phone of the torture technique, and then said slowly: "Tian Ke, Mr. Tian, now I have set off to find Qimen." ”

After speaking, He Chenxue finally showed a weird smile, and then got up and left, she said this very loudly, so that Tian Lianfeng, who came over after making tea, also heard it.

At that moment, both Xingshu and Tian Lianfeng were stupid, and they were stunned there for a long time, until He Chenxue walked away, Tian Lianfeng looked at Xingshu and asked, "What did she say just now?" ”

The torture technique wasn't sure if this was true, so he immediately got up and said, "Lian Feng, hurry up to your house, go to your father, hurry up!" ”

After saying that, the torture went out to chase He Chenxue, but the woman in the high heels didn't know what was going on, and in just a few minutes, she disappeared without a trace, completely missing. Helpless, the torture had to go to Tian Ke's house with Tian Lianfeng.

When the two of them arrived at the door of Tian Ke's house, they saw a piece of paper pasted with transparent glue there, and the paper read: "Lianfeng, I'm going to go far away, don't worry, I'll be back in ten days and half a month, and I'll call if I have something." ”

Torture Shu tore off the piece of paper and said, "Is this your father's handwriting?" ”

Tian Lianfeng took the key to open the door and nodded: "Yes, it's my father's handwriting." ”

"The pen is very calm, the handwriting is not messy, and the pen is also normal, it seems that he was not coerced when he wrote these words, but this is just speculation." The torturer followed Tian Lianfeng into the house and found that the room was quite tidy, but a cabinet in Tian Ke's study was opened, and the things inside were turned into a mess, and there was an open box under the pile of miscellaneous items, and there was nothing in the box, only a few shopping receipts remained.

"Oh no, was my dad kidnapped by that woman? Maybe he hid some treasure in the box and was snatched away? Tian Lianfeng said that he was about to call the police, but was stopped by the torture.

Xingshu picked up the shopping receipt and said: "Your dad was not kidnapped, he should have left by himself, you look at the shopping receipt, the time on it is from last year, and the purchases are all field equipment, jackets, stoves, compasses, etc., it seems that your dad has been prepared." ”

Tian Lianfeng took the small ticket, shook his head and said, "Does he really have a plan to find Qimen?" Could it be that my grandfather really told him the secret? For so many years, he has been playing dumb? Because he has already unlocked the secret of Qimen? But he doesn't have that ability! ”

Tian Lianfeng sat on the chair and dialed his father's mobile phone, but no one answered, and then he thought about whether to call the police, what to say if he called the police? Said his father went on a treasure hunt? It is absolutely impossible for the police to accept it, it is not a kidnapping, it is not a disappearance, this should be regarded as a hiking trip on your own.

"Lian Feng, think about it again, did your father mention or say anything, even if it was a little related." Torture sat on the bay window on one side and rubbed the bridge of his nose.

Tian Lianfeng just shook his head, his father was an honest man, honest and famous in the entire pharmaceutical company, earlier he was a businessman, that is, he poured medicine, and then he quit, went back to sit in the office, and worked as a driver for a while, and then simply went to the warehouse, and burned the boiler for a year before retiring from illness, how could this kind of person have the ambition to find strange goods? Haven't you been looking for it a long time ago? How did you wait until now?

"I'm going to find my dad, I'm going to find him." Tian Lianfeng got up and walked out.

The torture technique didn't move, but just stopped Tian Lianfeng: "Stop, come back, where are you going to find it?" Now the only person who knows where your dad is going is He Chenxue, and no one else! We had no choice but to go to this woman, and that's why she said I had to care about her proposal. ”

Tian Lianfeng gritted his teeth with hatred, clenched his fists, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Take it easy, don't go to her with anger, it's easy to be manipulated by her, calm down, calm down, let's go again." ”

How could Tian Lianfeng calm down, because his mother, who was suffering from depression, was lost and had not been found until now, so he had been very worried about his father and worried that something similar would happen again.

When Xingshu and Tian Lianfeng found He Chenxue's residence according to the address, He Chenxue was loading all kinds of equipment on his expensive off-road vehicle, and she was the only one with no other helpers.

Tian Lianfeng was about to step forward angrily, but was stopped by the torture technique, and the torture technique stepped forward and asked: "What did you say to Uncle Tian, he will immediately set off to find Qimen, who are you, what do you want to do, why do you do this?" ”

He Chenxue struggled to carry the last box into the trunk, and after closing the trunk door, she spoke: "This car of things is a gift from me to you, you need to bring these things to find Qimen, maybe you are not fully prepared, after all, you are an expert, I am just a person on paper." ”

The torture technique knew that he couldn't do anything with He Chenxue, and now he could only be led by her nose.

The torture had to ask: "In which direction did Uncle Tian go?" His destination? ”

"I don't know the specifics, I only know that it's the direction of the Mudanjiang River." He Chenxue raised her hand to look at her watch, "You can get there in four hours by car normally, it's very close, and the rest can only rely on yourself." ”

Tian Lianfeng stepped forward and pointed at He Chenxue and said, "You don't know, who knows?!" Say! What exactly do you want to do? ”

He Chenxue said calmly: "I just told him that the things that were buried in the wall when his father died were dug up, and then he became like that. ”

Xingshu frowned and looked at He Chenxue: "You have been following me?" Staring at me? ”

"I'm not alone, there are other people who are not all the way with me." He Chenxue said, "I can only tell you that my ultimate goal is to find Shuangtong, that's all, I won't go on the road with you, but I will provide you with relevant support, if you need it, call my number, I will give you a mobile phone, there is only one number on the phone, only this number can find me, at the same time, I advise you to go on the road as soon as possible, otherwise, maybe Tian Ke will really disappear without a trace, because the news has been leaked out by whom, Now all the individuals and organizations that are trying to find Qimen have received the news that 'Tian Yunhao's son Tian Ke, the person who holds the secret of Qimen, has set out to find Qimen', if you don't do it as soon as possible, what Tian Ke will experience, I can't guarantee. ”

After speaking, He Chenxue turned around and left, walked to another car parked on the side of the road, opened the door and got into the car, and left quickly.

Tian Lianfeng was about to block the car, but he dragged it back, and he didn't talk nonsense, he directly handed over his car keys to Tian Lianfeng and told him: "You go home to get some daily necessities, ask for leave by the way, and then go to Zhenyang to find me, I will wait for you at the master's place, the sooner the better, time waits for no one." ”

After the torture was finished and drove away in the car left by He Chenxue, Tian Lianfeng stood there, in fact, he had been wanting to go out with the torture for many years, to see some new things, and to live the life of adventures like the torture technique, but the torture technique never agreed, he thought that Tian Lianfeng was completely unsuitable for this profession, but what he didn't expect was that when Tian Lianfeng could finally embark on an adventurous journey one day, it was in this crisis situation.

Xingshu did not go back to Zhenyang and the psychiatric hospital directly, but drove all the way from Songpu Bridge to Daowai District, directly into Jingyu Street, Daowai Sandao Street, and after stopping the car, he went straight to a seemingly crumbling old building.

As he walked up the broken staircase, Torture hesitated, not knowing whether to find this person or not, because he couldn't find a second expert other than this person who could help him track down Tian Ke.

On the third floor of the building, the torturer stood in front of the hidden door, reaching out to knock on the door, but hesitated for a moment, and then put his hand down, he was very reluctant to deal with the person in the door, to be precise, he didn't want to deal with that kind of person, because the kind of person inside the door did not listen to commands, was not controlled, and after all, he was the kind of guy who was unorganized and undisciplined, and went his own way.

At this moment, the door opened, and a man in a neat old military uniform, with a neatly shaved beard, a flat head, a grim face, and a pair of eyes that seemed to kill people stood there, and when he saw the torture, he burped loudly, and then smiled: "Who do I think it is?" It turned out to be the criminal boss, the criminal court, what's the matter? Are you here to pay it back? ”

The torture technique didn't speak, and he was about to go inside, but the man stretched out his hand to block the torture technique from the door, spread out his other hand and said, "Fifty-eight thousand, not a single cent less, this is what you owe me." ”

The person in front of him has an ordinary name - Yan Gang. But this person has a lot of nicknames, he was called "Gangzi" when he was a teenager, and later he was nicknamed "Ashtray" because he was too addicted to smoking, and then the nickname became "Hades", and then there was another word after the nickname "Hades", and he was called "Hades".

Yan Gang's nickname completely represents all his experiences from his youth to the present, and now at the age of thirty-six, he is the most famous "sweeping guide" in the entire Northeast region, of course, this is a title to the outside world, but anyone who knows him and knows him knows that he is the most famous tracking expert!
