Chapter Twenty-Eight: Listen to the Pulse and Know the Fortune
At Lin Wenzhe's house, after a few polite words to each other, Lin Wenzhe opened his wife and asked Qi Lu: "Mr. Qi, I don't know what kind of fortune you want to measure?" ”
Qi Lu smiled slightly, and asked him rhetorically: "May I ask where Mr. Lin is taught?" ”
"I'm from the Mai lineage, and my family has produced many physiognomy masters over the years, but after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the government banned it as a feudal superstition, so it was not easy for my father's generation to tell fortunes." Lin Wenzhe bragged half-truthfully.
"Mr. Lin, you are too cautious, today's society is more tolerant, and it is a good time for you to show your talents." Qi Lu changed his words and said: "It's a pity that the current physiognomy world is uneven, there are many masters, and there are many liars. ”
"That's that, that's." Lin Wenzhe said with a little embarrassment: "But my family is a secret inheritance of my ancestors, and that is really talented." Don't hide it from Mr. Qi, the ancestor's physiognomy was passed on to me, although there were only three or four points left, but it was enough for me to stand a lot higher in front of everyone. ”
Qi Lu said vaguely: "Then please ask Mr. Lin to calculate a hexagram for me, to see how my fortune has been in the past few years, can I have a windfall?" ”
"Okay, please wait." Lin Wenzhe rolled up his sleeves and washed his hands in the basin.
"Why doesn't Mr. Lin look at my face?"
"Face measurement is pediatric, so I won't show off in front of Mr. Qi. Since you were specially introduced by Mr. Sun, I will show you a unique skill. ”
"Touching the bones?" Qi Lu suddenly remembered that he had also pretended to be a fortune teller a long time ago to fool others, and he almost burst into laughter.
"That's not either, today I listen to the pulse and know the luck."
Qi Lu was stunned for a moment, this was the first time he had heard of this kind of fortune-telling method, and he couldn't help blurting out: "How do you listen to the pulse and know the luck?" ”
"Mr. Qi has ever heard of the pulse cutting of Chinese medicine?"
Qi Lu replied: "You are talking about pulse diagnosis, that is, the doctor presses the pulse of the patient's wrist with his fingers to observe the changes in the pulse and diagnose related diseases." Am I right, Mr. Lin? ”
"Very correct, it seems that Mr. Qi has also seen Chinese medicine." Lin Wenzhe nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "My hearing the pulse to know the fortune is the secret fortune-telling of the ancestors, the principle is similar to the pulse cutting of traditional Chinese medicine, and it is also by observing the beating frequency of the pulse to guess your future fortune. ”
Qi Lu was silent after listening to Lin Wenzhe's words, although he had not seriously learned the art of fortune-telling, but he also knew that it was a common and necessary means for ordinary warlocks to calculate people's good fortune and misfortune, high and low life from means such as physiognomy, word measurement and bone touching. But he has lived for so many years, and he has never heard of the physiognomy of listening to the pulse and knowing the luck.
Qi Lu looked at Lin Wenzhe a little hesitantly, but when he thought about it, he was relieved, and let him say how he said, I can distinguish the truth from the fake after trying it once.
So Qi Lu calmly put his right hand on the table and asked Lin Wenzhe to tell him his fortune.
Lin Wenzhe glanced at Qi Lu, then stretched out his right hand, flexed his index finger, closed his thumb, and then pressed his middle finger, ring finger and little finger on the artery of Qi Lu's right wrist.
Qi Lu was suddenly shocked, outsiders may not know the meaning of Lin Wenzhe's gesture, but Qi Lu saw that this gesture was in line with the meaning of one qi and three purities in Taoism. He couldn't help but think in his heart, could it be that this Lin Wenzhe really has some ability, and he is a person who is proficient in yin and yang?
"Although Mr. Qi suffered a lot in the first half of his life, he always had noble people to help him, and he was able to turn evil into good fortune." Lin Wenzhe's brows were already slightly furrowed when he spoke, and after thinking for a moment, he continued: "Your pulse is neither floating nor sinking, calm and gentle, soft and powerful, you can know that Mr. Qi is not short of money on weekdays, and he is indifferent to wealth. Why, then, do you consult me about fortune instead of good fortune? ”
Lin Wenzhe's hand suddenly shocked Qi Lu, and he had to admit that he was very accurate.
He just came to Lin Wenzhe to inquire about Sun Guoliang under the guise of fortune telling, and the so-called things like seeking wealth and luck were also casually said, Lin Wenzhe broke his heart with a word, which made Qi Lu a little embarrassed in his heart.
However, Qi Lu is also a sensitive person, and when he heard Lin Wenzhe ask him like this, he hurriedly followed his words: "There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and there is no eternal wealth in life, so I came to ask Mr. ”
Lin Wenzhe stopped talking, and his ring finger was tapping Qi Lu's pulse again, listening to the ups and downs of the pulse.
After about a few minutes, Lin Wenzhe removed his hand from Qi Lu's wrist and said to him solemnly: "The art of fortune-telling pays attention to sincerity and sincerity, I think Mr. Qi didn't mean to seek wealth, so he can't calculate your future fortune." ”
After Qi Lu heard what he said, his face was slightly hot, he thought that Lin Wenzhe had seen through his intentions, so he was ready to open the skylight and say something bright, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings later.
Just when Qi Lu made up his mind and was about to say his true intentions, his right eyelid suddenly jumped, and suddenly a stirring spirit suppressed the thought just now.
Qi Lu took a breath of lightness, thought for a while, and then said carefully: "Since this is the case, how about bothering Mr. Lin to calculate the good luck and evil of my parents in the future?" ”
"It's rare for Mr. Qi to have this piece of filial piety, so I'll count you again." Lin Wenzhe closed his eyes slightly, and put his hand on Qi Lu's vein.
This time, Lin Wenzhe pressed his hand on Qi Lu's pulse and didn't speak for a long time, so Qi Lu asked him: "Could it be that my parents have a disaster in their lives, and it is inconvenient for Mr. Lin to talk about it?" ”
"This ......" Lin Wenzhe squinted at Qi Lu for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Ling Tang is not in the way, but Ling Zun ......"
Qi Lu asked, "What's wrong with him?" ”
"The passing year is unfavorable, and the fate is evil, if you don't resolve it in time, ......" Lin Wenzhe deliberately stopped in the middle of his words.
"So, you're saying my father is in trouble?"
"Yes." Lin Wenzhe nodded and said, "But Mr. Qi, please rest assured, I have a way to make Ling Zun turn evil into good fortune." ”
"Hahahaha!" Qi Lu, who was still full of anxiety just now, suddenly burst out laughing, laughing so much that tears were about to flow out.
Just when Lin Wenzhe was surprised, Qi Lu suddenly turned his hand over, and his five fingers buckled Lin Wenzhe's wrist, and with a little force on him, Lin Wenzhe suddenly felt a hot force pressing into his heart, and he gritted his teeth in pain.
"Mr. Qi, what do you mean by that?" Lin Wenzhe couldn't understand why Qi Lu, who had a respectful attitude, suddenly seemed to be a different person.
"Hehe, I almost got fooled by you." Qi Lu smiled proudly, and he said jokingly: "Lin Wenzhe, you are really a master, but you are a master of abduction. ”
"Mr. Qi, are you ...... Are you kidding? ”
Ding Xiaolan was also confused next to her, and she asked in surprise: "You said that he is a liar, and he doesn't know fortune telling at all?" ”
"My parents have died a long time ago, Mr. Lin, don't tell me that they are in trouble in the underworld!"
"Mr. Qi is really good at laughing, you haven't listened to me yet." Lin Wenzhe still quibbled with himself.
"Do you know Master Wutong of Guanyin Temple?" The corners of Qi Lu's mouth turned into a smile again.
"Of course I know, he used to live in the same village as me." Lin Wenzhe looked at Qi Lu suspiciously, and he didn't know why he suddenly asked Wutong.
"This old monk is proficient in physiognomy, and no one in this city dares to say that his ability is above him. But such a master doesn't dare to tell my fortune, do you think you can fool me with your little trick? ”
Lin Wenzhe was speechless for a moment, and his face was like ashes.
Ding Xiaolan smiled and said to Qi Lu: "You are still smart, even I believe his nonsense." ”
Before Qi Lu could reply, he saw Lin Wenzhe taking out his mobile phone with his other hand, and hurriedly snatched the mobile phone from his hand. Lin Wenzhe stood up again, and just turned around and opened his mouth to call his wife, but when he saw the shadow of his hand flashing in front of him, his mouth was speechless.
"Mr. Lin, I advise you to be honest." The corners of Qi Lu's mouth hooked a confident arc, and he said loudly: "I ordered your dumb hole, so as not to disturb others, and it will be difficult for you and me to end up at that time." ”
Lin Wenzhe subconsciously moved his mouth, but he was still speechless.
"Mr. Lin, if you are willing to cooperate, I can solve your acupoint right away."
Lin Wenzhe nodded hurriedly when he heard this.
Qi Lu then let go of the right hand that was holding his veins, and then raised his hand to relieve his acupuncture points.
Lin Wenzhe took a deep breath, suppressed the panic in his heart and asked, "Who are you?" ”
"It doesn't matter who we are......" Qi Lu saw Lin Wenzhe pinching the mobile phone in his palm and rubbing his fingers on it, so he said to him with a smile: "Don't call the police, I was entrusted by Captain Liu to come to you." ”
"Which captain?"
"Liu Chenfei of the Criminal Investigation Team of the Police Station, don't you know him?" Qi Lu remembered that he had the business card that Liu Chenfei gave him, so he took it out and handed it to Lin Wenzhe and said, "If you don't believe it, you can call to confirm it." ”
"No need, no need." Lin Wenzhe put the phone back in his pocket stupidly, but there was a resentful expression in his eyes.
Qi Lu made a gesture, and Ding Xiaolan took out 2,000 yuan from his wallet and put it on the table, just like those similar scenes in the movie.
"Mr. Lin, I want to buy a clue from you."
"What clues?"
Qi Lu said: "Tell me who instructed you to bewitch Sun Guoliang to sell Songwen Sword." ”
Lin Wenzhe was silent again, but his eyes did not take off the stack of red banknotes on the table.
Qi Lu smiled and pushed the money in front of him and said, "As long as you tell me the cause and effect of this matter, the money is yours, and I won't ask you for the thousand yuan I gave you at the beginning." ”
"Team Liu asked you to investigate the case?" Lin Wenzhe pressed his hand on the money and asked cautiously.
"It's pretty much the same, but he's only worried about Song Wenjian's whereabouts, and he doesn't care about anything else." Qi Lu paused for a moment and added: "My meaning is very simple, everything will be fine if you find the sword, and I don't have to report to Liu Chenfei in the middle process." So what you said to me today, only the three of us know, and I will never reveal it to others, including Sun Guoliang. ”
"Is that true?"
"Do you want Liu Chenfei to come to you in person to find you, so that you are willing to believe my words?" Qi Lu pretended to be serious and said, "If you really have to wait until Team Liu comes to the door, then you will be in big trouble." ”
Lin Wenzhe didn't know what was at stake, Qi Lu asked himself that it was a private matter, Liu Chenfei was here, but it was a business matter!
It was only a few seconds of hesitation, Lin Wenzhe made up his mind, he grabbed the money and put it in his bag, then took a deep breath, and said the name of the person who instructed him: "It was Lin Cheng who asked me to put a trap on Sun Guoliang." ”
Qi Lu hurriedly asked: "Lin Cheng, who is he, do you have his contact information?" ”
"He used to be from the same village as me." Lin Wenzhe said another thing that Qi Lu didn't expect. Lin Cheng was his real name, and he later changed his name. I'm sure you'll be familiar with this name. ”
"Really? So what is his current name? ”
"Li Cheng."
Li Cheng, isn't he the one who bought the Songwen Sword from Sun Guoliang? This is the answer that Qi Lu never expected!
Qi Lu was shocked and asked, "Isn't Li Cheng dead?" ”
"Yes, he's dead. But it was indeed his bureau that tricked Sun Guoliang into selling the sword to him. Lin Wenzhe said another shocking fact: "He is actually an errand runner, and the real buyer is someone else." ”
"Who is he?" Qi Lu hurriedly asked.
