Chapter 66: Fear of Taxi

The treasure appraisal conference was shocked to see that the dead man's skull was temporarily suspended, and the organizers and the TV station column group agreed to make up for it on the 11th, and the news got a response from many treasure collectors, and the number of participants was even higher than the previous one.

On the evening of April 9th, the organizer invited the master of treasure connoisseurship, and the location was selected in the "Hongyan Hotel" where Huo Kai and Mindel lived. By the time Huang Ying, Qiu Ying, and Murong Amin arrived at the hotel, the three masters were already sitting in the private room.

The banquet can be described as delicacies from the mountains and seas, not only the delicacies are exquisite, but also the wine is also high-end, including Moutai, Lafite and German dark beer. After the guests were seated, Huang Ying first toasted. Tonight, Huang Ying's hair is high, her white tight-fitting sweater is slim, and she looks noble and elegant because of her weight loss, especially the dignified with a Korean woman's characteristics has to make people feel awe from the bottom of her heart. Huang Ying toasted the three masters with a smile, making the three of them embarrassed not to do it, but I didn't expect Huang Ying to be very able to drink, and she did it with them three times in a row, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed after the three glasses of wine were drunk.

After Huang Ying finished toasting, it was Qiu Ying's turn to toast, she stood up and poured wine for the three masters with a smile on her face, and it was three glasses in a row. After drinking, her face became slightly red, and tonight she was wearing a black dropper-shoulder semi-length skirt, lined with a white cotton collar, wearing a white necklace and sapphire pendant around her neck, and her black hair shoulder-length set off a dough-like pretty face. The three masters were dumbfounded, and the six cups of belly and the heavenly immortals standing beside them felt like attending the Queen Mother's peach party in the Heavenly Palace.

It was Murong Amin's turn to toast, and she said: "Three teachers, we have to drink some red wine tonight, one comes and goes, and the other is to wish us a prosperous treasure appreciation conference, and then we are interested in drinking some red wine with a beautiful woman." After speaking, he poured red wine for the three masters one by one, and the three old guys were still able to hold it, and they all smiled from ear to ear.

Mindel echoed and said: Amin presided over the amount of alcohol that should not be underestimated, and Lao Qiu can be regarded as a leader tonight.

Huo Kai has long lost his usual humble gentleman, his face is flushed and his speech is not neat, he said: I have long heard that Manager Qiu Ying is a master's degree from a famous university, and she has a lot of research on cultural relics, but she didn't expect to be so knowledgeable about wine culture, a rare talented woman.

Sun Guangtang is the most sober person, he held the wine glass and said: Boss Huang Ying is the heroine among women, beautiful is unbelievable, there is a way that people are drunk if they are not drunk, and everyone is drunk when they look at the three beauties, they don't need to drink at all, and the beauty will make you drunk.

The three experts in the cultural relics industry boasted to each other while drinking, and the three beauties toasted and persuaded each other in a different way, and it was strange not to get them drunk after a few rounds.

Halfway through the banquet, except for Sun Guangtang, who was still quite sober, the other two were not good, Min Del couldn't hear what was in his mouth clearly, Huo Kai kept glancing at Murong Amin with his small eyes. Seeing this, Sun Guangtang lied about going to the bathroom, and when he got out of the hotel, he took a taxi home. Min Der and Murong Amin had another drink and lay on the table without moving, Qiu Ying called the waiter to send him back to the upstairs room.

Huo Kai saw that Sun Guangtang was slipping away, Min De was drunk and sent away, and he felt that he had to vomit if he drank it again, and he said to the three beauties: I have also drunk well, today is full of wine and food, and it is not too late to drink after the successful conclusion of the treasure appreciation activity. The three beauties kept a few words, and when they saw that he insisted on going back to the room, they didn't let him go. Huo Kai shook hands with Qiu Ying and Amin and patted his shoulders for a while before leaving the private room, Huang Ying signaled to see him off, and Qiu Ying and Murong Amin helped him go downstairs.

When he came to the hotel lobby, Huo Kai had no intention of going back to the room, he said that he wanted to sit in the lobby lounge to sober up, Murong Amin and Qiu Ying had no choice but to help him to the hotel café and sit down, Murong Amin asked him for a cup of coffee, and the two asked the waiter to leave the hotel after a few words.

Although Huo Kai was dizzy from drinking, he still had a very important thing in mind, otherwise he would never let the three beauties leave so soberly. He still has a big thing to do, this afternoon he received a call from a female collector, saying that she has a famous painting in her home called "Fu Sheng Teaching Scriptures", Huo Kai knows that this painting is the work of Wang Wei in the Tang Dynasty, silk material, 25.4 cm wide and 44.7 cm long, it is a priceless treasure, it is said that it has been lost for several dynasties. The female collector emphasized that her ancestors had passed it on to her mother, and now that her mother had died, she wanted to sell the painting, but she did not dare to sell it at the cultural relics market, and intended to invite him to his home to appraise it and entrust it to his cultural relics store for auction. Huo Kai was already overjoyed when he heard this painting, and secretly wondered that maybe this treasure painting was in the hands of this female collector.

The female collector said on the phone: I want to auction this painting, I know that you are an expert in this area, and I would like to ask you to be my auction broker, and the profits can be divided into three or seven.

Huo Kai estimated that if this painting is genuine, it can be worth hundreds of millions of yuan, and he can get a reward of 30 million, how can he not accept this kind of good thing. Huo Kai immediately agreed to look at the painting first, but the female collector was more cautious and did not want to disclose the news of the painting, for fear of causing trouble. Huo Kai was even more aware of the danger in this regard, so he agreed to quietly go to her house to take a look, and the two of them made an appointment with the female collector to pick him up at the hotel at 9 o'clock tonight.

Huo Kai was in a daze and just picked up the coffee and the mobile phone rang, it was the female collector who called in the afternoon, she said: Is it Mr. Huo? I'm really sorry for you, I was going to pick you up at the hotel just now, and when I went downstairs, I fell in a hurry, twisted my foot and neck, and it hurt so much, I'm afraid I can't go, Mr. Huo, why don't we make an appointment another day?

Huo Kai hurriedly asked: Is the injury serious?

Female Collector: It's not very heavy, it's just swollen and I can't walk.

Huo Kai said: Oh, I've been waiting for a long time, and I haven't drunk the wine well.

The female collector said: Well, that's the case, but I'm really sorry for you, otherwise, please come to my house in person, Mr. Huo? No, no, I'm sorry, Mr. Huo, I'm talking nonsense about you being such a big person.

Huo Kai said: What's the trouble here, you send me the address, and I'll go to your house.

The female collector said: How embarrassing is this, let's change the day.

Huo Kaizhen didn't want to let go of this opportunity and immediately said: I'm fine, you can send me the address quickly.

The female collector said: Okay, then it's hard for you, by the way, Mr. Huo, I don't want others to know about this.

Huo Kai smiled and said: I understand, I'll take a taxi by myself, you can rest assured.

Less than half a minute after hanging up the phone, I received a text message on my phone: On the east side of the Lijiaqiao Village Committee in Qian'an District, I was contacted when I arrived.

Huo Kai staggered out of the hotel after reading the text message, and when he got out of the gate, he found that it was raining lightly at some point, and the road was already wet. He stood in front of the hotel and waited for a long time, but he didn't wait for a taxi. Huo Kai was so anxious that he drove out a black Jetta car from under the shadow of the tree on the left side of the hotel, and the Jetta car drove in front of Huo Kai and stopped, and a voice came from the gap in the car window and asked: Master, where are you going?

Huo Kai had seen this kind of car with black feet, so he pretended to be impatient and said: Qian'an Lijiaqiao.

There was a message from the window: It's too biased, no one likes to go, and you have to empty the car when you come back, 100 yuan.

Huo Kai waved his hand to signal him to drive away, and the car window came out again: Yes, 50? No, forget it, no taxi wants to go there in such a heavy rain.

Huo Kai immediately stopped the Jetta car, and he said: 50 is 50, you will send me to the place.

The Jetta stopped, Huo Kai reached out to pull the passenger door, and the voice came out again: The front door is broken, sit in the back.

Huo Kai muttered and opened the back door and got in, he glanced at the driver and found that this driver was different from other drivers, he was wearing a hooded outfit, his face was hidden in the hat, he couldn't see what he looked like, and the brim of the hat was very low.

The Jetta started and turned west. Huo Kai was already a little dazed, and his head was big when the car was bumped like this, and his eyelids were enough to doze off soon after a few minutes. I don't know how long it took for the Jetta car to slow down, Huo Kai felt his chest tightened and panicked, he closed his eyes and patted the driver's seat and said: Master stop first I can't help it, don't vomit in your car.

The driver said coldly: It's here.

The Jetta car stopped immediately, Huo Kai looked out of the window and was puzzled, it was pitch black outside the window, there was not even a light, he asked: Why are there no street lights here?

The driver said: The street light is broken.

Huo Kai took out a hundred yuan and handed it to the driver, and asked casually: This is Li Jiaqiao?

The driver replied: Yes, wait a minute, looking for your money.

Saying that, the driver took the hundred-yuan bill in Huo Kai's hand and gave him a big ticket, Huo Kai's fingers inadvertently touched the driver's hand that handed over the money, feeling that the hand was cold without a trace of heat, he opened his eyes and dared to look at the driver from the rearview mirror, this look almost scared him to death, the driver raised his face and revealed three black holes.

Oh my god, I've got a ghost! Huo Kai felt that he had been stabbed in the back of the neck.

The skull shook from side to side and said, "Look at the money that is looking for you, right?"

Huo Kai subconsciously glanced at the ticket in his hand, the face value of the ticket is 9 figures, 100 million yuan? Stygian? Huo Kai almost cried in fright, he reached out to pull the car door but couldn't open it, and at this moment the skull turned to him.

Hell yes! Oh my god, help! Huo Kai was so frightened that he peed his pants.

Master Huo, hey, hey, hey! I'm Ji Yu. The sound of the skull squeezing out of its teeth was particularly evocative.

Ji Yu? Huo Kai's mind immediately flashed the skull engraved with Ji Yu's name on the treasure table, and his spirit was close to collapse, he desperately pulled the car door, but the car door just couldn't be opened.

The skull said again: You're going to pull, the door locked for me.

Huo Kai almost cried, he asked: What do you want to do to me?

The skull said: Master Huo, do you remember that there is an ancient painting called "Shuangsuo Tu"? You just have to tell me what is going on and I'll let you go, and I'll go to Lord Yama to say a few nice words for you, and let you live a few more years, if you don't tell me the truth, hehehe, I'll leave you today.

Huo Kai's heart trembled when he heard this, and he no longer had the strength to break free, thinking that since it had reached such a point, it seemed that he could only beg this dead ghost master, in case he softened his heart, maybe he could spare his life. Huo Kai looked away and said: Brother Ji Yu, I know that your murder is related to that painting, but it was not me who harmed you, if you want to know the origin of that painting or what happened around it, I will tell you, please don't take me down today.

The skull laughed twice and said: I know that you are not the one who harmed my life, but the debtor is wronged, I want to die to understand, you say, don't lie to me.

Huo Kai was already frightened, and now he didn't care about anything, he didn't dare to look at the skull anymore and obediently said everything related to the ancient painting of "Shuangsuo...... In the end, he said: Brother Ji Yu, that's all I know, and I didn't say half a lie.

Skull asks: That's all? You didn't lie to me, did you? Let me tell you Master Huo, if you dare to lie to me, I will let you live for no more than three days.

Huo Kai hit the car door and said: Brother Ji Yu, I didn't even say a word of lie, I know that I am guilty, you let it go, please.

The skull opened its mouth, rattled its upper and lower teeth a few times and said: Then let you go first, you still don't get out of the car, do you need me to open the door for you?

Huo Kai hurriedly replied: No, no, no, I'll do it myself. After saying that, he tentatively pushed the car door, the door was pushed open, he almost rolled out of the car, got up and saw that he couldn't see his five fingers around, he seemed to be in the field and seemed to be in the air, there was a faint row of lights in the distance, and he wondered in his heart that it was right to run in the direction of the light. At this moment, Huo Kai was half-conscious, and running for his life was his only choice, so he ran in the direction of the bright light.

Stand... Live! The head of the hole suddenly let out an eerie cry from behind.

Huo Kai's legs and stomach turned straight to the tendons, this sentence nailed him to the spot like a spell, he turned his head to look at the back, and couldn't help but be even more frightened, there was a bone frame standing behind him, the skull seemed to be inserted into the bone frame dripping and shaking, the most strange thing was that the bone frame was not walking but jumping forward.

Huo Kaipu knelt down and burst into tears, and said in a pleading tone: Brother Ji, don't take me, you can't regret it.

The skull shook the three black holes and said: Hey, hey, the judge has written down what you just said, and the king of Hades will send another person to check with you, as for when, where and how to find you, I don't know, but you remember not to lie to him, otherwise if I don't come to take you, he will definitely come to take your life, hehehe, let's go.

Huo Kai was completely frightened crazy, as soon as he heard that he was asked to get up and run forward, he panicked, he turned his head to see if the bone frame was chasing after him while running, but he stepped on the air after just a few steps, and his body floated up like a cloud.
