Personnel Chapter 15: The Blue Sea Stone Incident
"I remember that the blue sea stone was a treasure brought by the Westerner Mike Fiat, that day, my father did raise a card, but he didn't take a photo, he was taken away by a merchant, by the way, who is the merchant?" I asked Jin'er.
Yesterday's incident, Su Wei and I haven't talked for a long time, and it really made a gentle person like her angry, and she still had to be punished for copying scriptures, and Jin'er copied books for me while talking to me.
"Yesterday, my grandfather said that it was another Westerner from Japan who took the blue sea stone, called Fukuhara Yu." Jin'er put down her pen and thought.
"Fukuhara? Japanese names are so weird that you don't have any surnames like this. I looked up at the window, my right hand stroking my eyebrows, and I made thoughtful movements.
"He came here to do business, and his mother said that he opened the place where I took the moon song class, and I only found out last night that it was him." Jin'er continued to pick up the pen and copied carefully.
"Don't write it yet, since the Blue Sea Stone has been auctioned, how could it fall into my father's hands? Or say he stole it? What happened to the Pearl of the Night? I grabbed Jin'er's right hand.
"Calm down, you're hurting me." Jin'er shook off my hand and rubbed it.
Recalling that day, I did see the night pearl in the Tengzhi box, the night pearl was crystal clear, even if it was hidden at the bottom of the box, it secretly exuded a purple glow, and it was like a child's eyes, its special thing is its spots, there are a few green spots in the pearl that is extremely beautiful, it looks really bad scenery, this spot has destroyed the quality of the night pearl.
However, Teng Zhi loves to collect these strange things, so I didn't ask much that day. Now that I think about it, is this pearl of the night a piece of foreboding?
"Okay, leave this matter to the adults, and we children will leave it alone." Jin'er continued to copy books for me.
I didn't expect the arrest to be so serious, Jin'er didn't feel panicked at all, but even if I switched identities with her, if her mother was arrested, I would be just as indifferent.
I seem to be carried away by this incident, forgetting that Jin'er is also a person without a father, and her father should also be a dispensable shadow for her, how can she empathize with someone who has never felt the warmth of her father? I may be able to experience this feeling, so that the person concerned can experience it. Even if I could describe the feeling, the experience was minimal.
Jin'er copied it for me at once, she copied very fast, maybe it was a long-term practice, so that her hand speed was like thunder, by the way, Jin'er is a left-hander.
Seeing Jin'er leaving, I quickly walked to the windowsill, only to see that Ah Mao Chang and Qijun were already standing downstairs on standby, and sure enough, there was no one who knew me better than the two of them.
"Miss, are you ready? Madame has been gone for a long time. Qijun covered his mouth with his hands and whispered, I knew what she meant by the spoken word.
"I've got my car ready, too." Ah Mao Chang continued.
I made a "ready" gesture.
Ah Mao Chang turned to leave, took out a handful of hemp rope and iron hook from the tool store, he threw the rope at me from the bottom up, and threw the rope several times without throwing the rope up, and when I was about to give up, Qijun opened the door and came in.
My heart was beating and I thought I had been discovered.
"How do you have the key?" I hurried over.
"I forgot to have a spare key." Qijun scratched his head.
I ran to the side of the bed and stuffed two pillows into the quilt to make it look like someone was there.
At this time, Ah Mao threw the rope up.
Qijun and I sighed.
"Miss, what are you going to do?" Qijun asked.
As we walked down the stairs quickly, the Seven Monarchs covered me with a cloak.
"I haven't figured it out yet, but I think I'm going to go to Xisheng Street." I lowered my head and stroked the brim of my hat.
"Huh? You guys? Ah Mao covered his mouth.
"Without further ado, let's go out and talk about it."
"I'm going to trouble you about this matter, I believe that my son's personality would not do such a thing." The law entertained the royal father and several merchants in the study.
"I also believe it, as long as this matter is investigated, it will naturally return Tengzhi to an innocence, you can rest assured, we will entertain you well." The royal father slowly picked up a cup of tea and took a few sips, raising his eyes from time to time to look at the law.
Listening to the sound, we hid by the door and eavesdropped on the inside, and there were all kinds of imported Western fruits to entertain the guests.
This "Hongmen Banquet" is really timely.
We left the yard in a long car, and we had to find out before it got dark.
"Fukuhara is known to me, it is the piano shop on Xisheng Street, it should be called Fushengmen." Mao Chang drove the car and talked to us.
"How did you know each other?" I asked.
"We are all Japanese, in other words, I just came to Ziyang to engage in business, and I have a thorough understanding of the businessmen here." When Ah Mao Chang said this, he was very confident.
"How is he?" Qijun leaned forward and asked.
"I've heard that he's a neat man who sees the right moment, and he's been a well-known businessman in Japan for generations, and he's a merchant family." A Changmao said.
I thought all the way, but I didn't expect to come to Fushengmen all of a sudden.
There were two guards standing at the door, and as soon as they saw the license plate, one of the guards immediately went in to report.
I remember this piano, this is the same piano I asked Su Wei about last time, but I didn't expect everything to be arranged, and I came here again.
The decoration style of Fushengmen is particularly unique, especially the design of its appearance, its exterior wall is based on the black and white keys of the piano as a design element, and the direction of the door is displayed like an accordion, and there are three golden bells hanging on the door, as long as someone enters the door, the bell will automatically ring with the movement of the door, so that one of the benefits is that there is no fear of someone sneaking in the door to steal.
In addition to a large piano displayed in the window, a miniature piano model is also displayed in front of the door, which looks very exquisite, and standing in front of the door, there is an urge to go in and learn the piano.
However, I admire the designer of this piano shop, although there are many piano shops on Xisheng Street, but there is only one with a unique design like it.
"Please come in." One of the guards bowed to us in welcome.
"Let's go, let's go in." I say.
"I'm sorry, the master said, only let Gu Xining go in alone."
I had never met him, he knew my name, he seemed to have a prediction, I would definitely come to him, he was so confident, I thought even more that this man was not simple.
As soon as I entered the Fusheng Gate, the strong smell of tobacco came to my face, and a middle-aged man in a top hat and tuxedo was smoking, sometimes moving forward, sometimes leaning back, while his other hand flowed rapidly on the piano.
From his back, he looked like an immortal emerging from the smoke, riding the clouds and fog, and his other hand playing a beautiful music.
"Hello." I bowed my head tentatively.
"I know you." His nimble fingers were still playing on the piano, and I saw him so intoxicated, with a smoky voice and a muddy bass.
"You know me?" I looked up at him.
"Acquaintance." He stopped playing.
"Your name is Gu Xining, right?" He looked at me.
I nodded.
"I know everyone in the Gu family, but only you, the most courageous, dared to come to me with a few servants, do you know who I am?" He turned to stare at me, as if trying to get the answer he wanted from me.
"I don't know who you are, but I'm interested in your piano." I walked past the edge of the instrument and stroked the keys, which followed my fingers, the scale rising and falling from high to low.
"It's really Gu Zhilu's eldest grandson." He got up and walked to the other piano, testing the tone with his hands.
At this time, Qijun knocked on the glass, and I realized that I had come here today on a mission.
I was so confused by this piano for a moment that I almost forgot to get down to business.
"I asked, I came to visit today because of my father, didn't you already take pictures of the blue sea stone that day? Is it gone now? I asked.
When he saw that I knew how to do it, he said, "You are young, but you actually understand the blue sea stone?" ”
"On the day of the Wanzhen Meeting, I was there, and I saw you take a picture." I smiled.
"I didn't expect you to go to the Wanzhen Club, do you have the money to go to the auction?" He lit a cigarette and looked at me with a sneer.
"I'm sorry, I'm not here for small talk today, and you haven't answered my question yet." I bent over and kept my head down.
"yes, so what? What does it have to do with you if Blue Sea Stone is not there? Does it have anything to do with you coming to me today? He looked a little impatient and a little angry, and pressed down on a extinguished cigarette butt.
Maybe I think I'm a underage woman who asks too much and is extremely rude.
"The Wang family said that the blue sea stone was gone, and said that my father stole it, but isn't this blue sea stone here for you?" My words took him by surprise.
He looked at me in surprise and said, "I have already retrieved the Blue Sea Stone, it is in my safe, what do you mean by that?" Is this blue sea stone of mine fake? ”
"Amin, come with me and see." After speaking, his slightly trembling figure shrugged his shoulders from time to time, and waited for someone to help him up to the second floor.
What's going on with his reaction? He said that the blue sea stone had already been taken, and in his safe, the matter of wronging my father was a non-existent thing? What's going on? He didn't seem to know anything about it.
After a long time, I saw Qijun and Ah Mao Chang waiting outside in a hurry, and from time to time put their faces in front of the window to look at me, the two guards stood there without moving, and it was almost dark, and they had not seen him yet, so they had to quickly find a way to trap him.
As I was about to ascend the stairs, I heard footsteps, the sound of the shoes was steady and powerful, and with every step he took, he could hear the gurgling of the shoes, and Fukuhara swung his arms one after the other, putting his hands in his pockets as he took the last step.
"He lied to me." Fukuhara Yu spat out a sentence lightly.
"I was deceived by him." He looked at me with piercing eyes.
I looked at him suspiciously, my body trembling unconsciously.
"This is a fake blue sea stone." He told Amin to take out the safe and show it to me.
"How can it be fake? Did you really lose that real blue sea stone? I asked.
"Tell me what's going on?" He was very annoyed and insisted on facing me in a calm tone.
I told Fukuhara the reason for the incident from beginning to end, only to see him thunder and rage, slapping his palm on the table, and thinking that the Wang family was secretly conducting underground transactions, so as to confuse the truth.
I didn't expect the real blue sea stone to be discovered, so it was stolen.
"I'm sure my father wouldn't do such a thing! Have clean hands! "I raise my fingers and swear.
"Amin, prepare the car, I want to go to Wang's house to see what is going on."
"Yes, sir." Amin looked down and smiled wickedly.
