125 Oolong Quests

The building of the provincial television station is located in the downtown area, and it is surrounded by high-rise buildings, which made my investigation very difficult. I spent an afternoon first eliminating the purely commercial office buildings, and then focused on a few residential areas.

In the evening, the sun went down, and Didiu could finally come out of the porcelain vase. In order to protect him from the glare street lights and neon lights, I asked him to hide in my arms, and only called him to stick his head out and take a look when he needed to confirm the location.

"Is it here?" I stood at the door of a neighborhood and asked for it.

Didiu looked at the entrance of the community, but shook his head and said with certainty: "No." ”

I rode a block forward, found another neighborhood, and asked him, "Is this it?" ”

This time, he hesitated, looked at it and said, "It's a bit like ......"

I turned around, pointed to the provincial TV building a hundred meters away, and asked, "Do you look at the location of that building again, is it the same as you remember?" ”

Didiu looked in the direction of the building, shook his head again, and said, "No, there is no building in the middle." ”

I understand what he means, maybe it's from the wrong angle. This also gave me a quick way to eliminate it, I just had to ride around the TV station building, ask Didiu from which angle it would be more in line with the view of the building in his memory, and then I would look for the periphery along the radiation direction of that angle.

But after a lap, Didiu said that none of the angles were in line with his memory. I couldn't help but be a little frustrated, which proved that Didiu's home was not near the provincial TV station, but the shape of the building was somewhat similar. So, the first clue I found by myself was broken, and I had to look for it somewhere else next time. This kind of thing really can't be rushed.

I was looking for it, and my phone rang suddenly. I pulled it out and saw that it was a mustache. This guy hasn't called me in over a week! I wonder if he fired my squid because he didn't give it to him last time. Although I am not a regular employee, I am not even a part-time employee, and I have to face financial difficulties again.

"I figured out where that snuffbox came from!" The mustache didn't talk to me about work, but somehow pulled it to the snuffbox.

"Where did it come from?"

"I learned from another master who specializes in appraising antiques that the two sellers bought the snuff bottle from the young owner of the Guangyuan Group. At that time, they traded a total of three antiques, a snuff box and two porcelain bowls, all from the Qing Dynasty. This information is exactly the same number as the three white road goods they sold me! ”

"Why did the young owner sell these three antiques? Is he short of money? ”

"According to our background check on him, he has indeed been short of money recently, and his father has just passed away!"

"So, you suspect that his father's death had something to do with this snuffbox?"

"Quite possibly! It just so happened that yesterday someone from his family came to entrust him, and the task was also released in the door, and I grabbed it as soon as possible! ”

"So, do you have a job to do?" It took a long time to finally get to the issue I was most concerned about.

"Hmm!" The mustache's voice was slightly excited and a little anxious, "Where are you now?" Can you rush to the Guangyuan famous gate on Lantian Road immediately? ”

"Blue Sky Road?" I probably thought about the location, it seems that it is not far from the provincial TV station, and I can get there soon by riding an electric car. "No problem, I happen to be in the city, I'll be there in fifteen minutes!"

"That's good! We met at the gate of the complex! After the mustache said this, he immediately hung up the phone. Listening to the wind in his background, it seems that he is driving this way.

"Lose it, go back to the bottle. I'm going to work! I bowed my head to Diodiu. There is definitely no way to find his house today. Diu nodded and obediently got into the porcelain vase himself.

I turned on the navigation and rode the electric car to the blue sky road. As a result, it took less time than I estimated, and it took ten minutes to reach the door of Guangyuan Mingmen Community. I searched left and right for the mustache's car, but I didn't see it, it probably hadn't arrived yet. So, I parked the car first, walked outside the gate of the community and waited.

Five minutes later, the mustache's car also arrived. He lowered the window pane and beckoned me to get in the car. After communication, the security guard guarding the door quickly let us in, and told the mustache very enthusiastically: "Shen Dong's house is in the three-story villa at the back, you can drive there directly to park." ”

The "Shen Dong" in the mouth of the security guard should now refer to Shen Fei, the "former" young owner of Guangyuan Group, and the newly taken over chairman. His father's name is Shen Xueyuan, the founder of Guangyuan Group, a well-known real estate developer in the provincial capital, who died just two weeks ago.

Mustache said that according to the information of the hosta gate, the two real estate projects recently developed by the Guangyuan Group have lost money, so there is a problem with the financial situation. Shen Fei not only sold some of the real estate in his father's name, but even took out some of his father's collectibles to cash out, just to save Shen Xueyuan's company.

"So, he's not a loser!" I said.

The mustache shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know if he is defeated or not, but whether Guangyuan Group can keep it depends on whether his last real estate can be successfully delivered." ”

I asked him, "Is there a high reward for a task entrusted by a rich person like this?" ”

"High!" The mustache looked up and laughed, "So it's absolute luck that I was able to grab it!" Because when the task was released, I happened to check the information in the door, and I grabbed it easily! ”

I laughed too. Who doesn't understand the truth that a rising tide lifts all boats? The bonus that the mustache can get is high, and the commission he gives me after completing the task will naturally not be low. I didn't have any income for a week, but this time I have to work hard and try to make a lot of money!

When he arrived at Shen's house, the mustache went up and rang the doorbell, and it was Shen Fei himself who came out to open the door! He was about thirty years old, and he looked like a typical son-in-law, but his face was a little haggard and worried, and it was obvious that he had not been doing well recently.

"The efficiency of your Dao Sects is so high now?" Shen Fei listened to our intentions and said in surprise, "My housekeeper only went out to look for your Daoist Lu an hour ago, and he hasn't come back yet!" ”

The mustache smiled mischievously and said, "We are also serving 24 hours a day." I happened to be nearby, so as soon as I received the news from Lu Daochang, I came over immediately. ”

"Then come in." Shen Fei invited us into the house, and said, "I don't know if my housekeeper has explained the situation to you, what did you want to ask when you came to me directly?" ”

The mustache directly took out the small snuffbox, handed it to Shen Fei, and asked, "You take a look at this thing first, is it your father's relic?" ”

Shen Fei was even more surprised, took it and looked at it twice, then nodded, "Yes!" But how did you get your hands on it? I sold this snuffbox to a friend last week! ”

"Obviously, it was your friend who sold us something again!" The mustache replied with a smile still on his face. Then he asked, "Where does this snuffbox usually go?" ”

"Usually it is on the shelf in my father's study." Shen Fei replied.

"May I ask how your father died?" The question of the mustache is getting bolder.

Shen Fei frowned, as if he felt a little strange about this question. But he still answered truthfully: "My father died of stomach cancer. Does it have anything to do with this snuffbox? ”

"It's hard to say!" The mustache was noncommittal and asked, "Can we take a look at the study he used when he died?" Well, if you don't mind, we'd like to see his bedroom too. ”

Shen Fei was puzzled, but he was still very cooperative with us, led us to the study on the second floor, opened the door, and said, "This is the study used by my father when he was alive. However, I've had people clean it up, and I'm currently using it myself. ”

We went in and saw that there were indeed some empty spaces on the shelves on the walls on both sides, which might have been places to store various collectibles in the past. Most of what remains on the shelves now are just books and modern crafts. It seems that this young owner, who has just inherited the family business, is indeed facing a lot of pressure!

I and the mustache checked the rest of the things in the study, and found nothing wrong. Even some traces that may have been left in the original have been cleaned up a long time ago. Subsequently, we insisted on going to see Shen Xueyuan's bedroom. The bedroom is currently unoccupied, but it has also been thoroughly cleaned and there are no clues left.

At this time, Shen Fei, who had been holding back in his heart for a long time, finally asked, "What are you doing in my father's study and bedroom?" I didn't come to you because of my dad's death, what the hell are you looking for? ”

As soon as he said this, it was my turn to be surprised by the mustache. The mustache asked him, "Then why did you entrust our Daomen?" ”

"It's my new development, it's been haunted lately!" Shen Fei couldn't cry or laugh, and said angrily: "At this time, the delivery has not yet started, but the news has already leaked out a little." Go and see, do the work, and clean up the dirt! ”

After some more questioning, the misunderstanding between us was cleared up. It turned out that Shen Fei sent the housekeeper to come forward to find the commission of Elder Lu of the Jade Hairpin Gate, but maybe Shen Fei didn't explain the matter clearly, and the old housekeeper also said vaguely, so when the Jade Hairpin Gate issued the task, he only wrote vaguely: "Investigate the supernatural events that occurred in the Yang Mansion!" ”

Of course, there is another reason, which is that we came too fast! Before the people of the hosta gate had time to complete the background check, the mustache pretended to be smart, and directly thought of the cause of Shen Xueyuan's death!
