Chapter Twenty-Nine: Confusing
"Mr. Qi, there are too many shady scenes behind this matter, I can't reveal too much, otherwise it will ......" Lin Wenzhe smiled slyly and sold Guanzi.
Ding Xiaolan said indignantly: "Do you have to wait for Captain Liu to bring the police to visit you?" ”
"Xiao Ding, don't talk like that." Qi Lu saw his intentions clearly from Lin Wenzhe's eyes, and whispered to Ding Xiaolan, Ding Xiaolan took out her wallet with an unhappy face, put all the money left in the bag on the table angrily, squinted at Lin Wenzhe and said, "I didn't bring too much cash today, don't knock on the bamboo pole!" ”
Lin Wenzhe grabbed the money and counted it, there were more than 1,000 yuan, and he hurriedly put the money into the bag with a smile.
Qi Lu said, "Mr. Lin, what else do you want?" If you don't think the money is too much, I can consider going back and letting Xiaoding send it to your house, and you can also transfer it to the bank if you want. ”
"You are truly a gentleman. I won't hide it from you for my brother's sake. ”
"Who the hell is he?"
"The person who really got the Songwen Sword is still my own brother, his name is Lin Wenyuan."
"Lin Wenyuan, he also lived in Linjiawan before?" Qi Lu suddenly became strange, thinking that the people in Lin Jiawan were all interested in Song Wenjian.
"Yes." Lin Wenzhe nodded and said, "He and Lin Cheng have been classmates since childhood, and they have a good relationship. ”
Qi Lu asked again: "Then he also lives in your community now?" ”
"It's not. Since the demolition of Linjiawan, he did not ask for welfare housing, but took the demolition compensation and lived in his mother's house. ”
Qi Lu hurriedly asked, "Where do you live, do you have his address?" ”
"I don't know him well, and I don't know the specific address, but I heard from a friend that his mother's home is in Clear Water Bay."
Qingshuiwan is a large village with nearly 1,000 people on the outskirts of the city, Qi Lu has been there before, and knows that the villagers are relatively simple, so it seems that it should not be too difficult to ask Lin Wenyuan's home address.
Qi Lu thought about it for a while, and a series of questions surfaced in his mind, so he asked Lin Wenzhe: "What kind of person is Lin Wenyuan, is he rich?" ”
"A small worker, if he didn't get some demolition money, how could he afford to buy a car and build two more floors for the house."
It can be seen that Lin Wenzhe is a little red-eyed, and his tone is a little sour.
But Qi Lu didn't care about Lin Wenzhe's attitude, he asked suspiciously: "Worker, then how can he have the money to buy Song Wenjian?" ”
"yes!" Ding Xiaolan also understood, and interjected on the side: "Lin Cheng is the boss, so he naturally has the money to buy antiques, where does Lin Wenyuan's money come from to buy swords?" Even if all the money for the demolition is given to Sun Guoliang, I'm afraid it won't be enough. ”
"I know you don't believe it, but it's true." Lin Wenzhe raised his eyebrows, a little unhappy.
Qi Lu asked suspiciously: "You have set up this bureau deliberately, and the person who finally got the sword turned out to be an ordinary worker, which is a bit unreasonable." ”
"Well, it's a strange thing, and I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't experienced it myself. Forget it, I'll tell you the whole story. Lin Wenzhe sighed and began to recall the past.
Qi Lu hurriedly took out a cigarette and gave it to him, listening to him tell this bizarre story.
Lin Wenzhe spit out a smoke ring and said, "Two years ago, one night when I was drinking at home, Lin Cheng, who lived upstairs with me, suddenly came to the door and said that there was something to discuss. Lin Cheng has made a lot of money in business in the past few years, and I was very happy at the time, thinking that he wanted to introduce me to some ways to make a fortune, so I hurriedly beckoned my wife to cook a few more dishes and prepare to accompany him to drink. He mysteriously dragged me to the bedroom, closed the door and told me that there was a way to make a fortune, and he would give me 5,000 yuan when it was done. ”
Qi Lu asked: "Is it for you to deceive Sun Guoliang into selling swords?" ”
Qi Lu was stunned and hurriedly asked, "Lin Cheng is your neighbor?" No, I heard that his ex-wife lives in Xi'an. ”
"Lin Cheng used to live upstairs from me, and after his death, his wife remarried someone else and sold the house to a middle school teacher surnamed Wang before going to Xi'an." After Lin Wenzhe explained, he continued to talk about the past: "At that time, I was shocked after listening to his plan, and quickly waved my hand and refused. When he saw that I did not agree, he added another five thousand. As soon as I saw that he was generous, I said yes as soon as my mind was hot. ”
"Then do you know why Lin Cheng bought this magic sword, isn't he afraid of being cursed?"
"At that time, I didn't know that this sword was cursed, and I thought it was a valuable antique." Lin Wenzhe said: "If I had known about this situation at the time, I would never have agreed. ”
Qi Lu's face sank, and he said coldly: "But I heard Sun Guoliang say that when you pretended to be a fortune teller and looked for him, you told him that the Songwen Sword was an ominous thing!" ”
"That's what I found out later." Lin Wenzhe hurriedly said the reason: "Although I know physiognomy, I can't reach the point of divine calculation. So I first asked for Sun Guoliang's address from Lin Cheng, and then spent half a month asking Sun Guoliang's details from his neighbors. At this time, I dared to have the confidence to go to the antique market to meet him by chance, and let him get into the trap I set step by step. Originally, I was full of confidence, but suddenly I remembered that I had figured out Sun Guoliang's background, but I didn't know the origin of that sword. In order to be sure, I decided to go to him one last time, ready to ask his neighbor about it. ”
Speaking of this, Lin Wenzhe's face became a little nervous, he took a puff of cigarette and continued: "It was really strange that day, the weather was sunny when I went, and when I arrived near his house, a strong wind suddenly blew, followed by heavy rain. I was looking for a place to hide from the rain, but suddenly I heard a woman's cry from the second floor of Sun Guoliang's house, and I thought he was beating his wife. ”
Qi Lu suddenly understood that Lin Wenzhe happened to encounter Song Wenjian that day and triggered a supernatural event due to thunderstorms, so he asked him: "So you sneaked into his house and saw the strangeness of the sword?" ”
"What do you think of me, I'm not a thief." Lin Wenzhe said a little angrily: "Besides, I can't run to see the excitement because of something happened to his family." ”
Qi Lu knew that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly apologized to him.
Lin Wenzhe's face eased, but the nervousness was still on his face, and he continued: "It just so happened that the aunt who lives next door to his house came back from shopping for vegetables, because I asked about Sun Guoliang, I have met her a few times and am a little familiar, so I am close to her." When she saw that I didn't bring an umbrella and invited me to her house to hide from the rain, I couldn't help but go into her house, and it was only after chatting with her that I learned about Song Wenjian. ”
Qi Lu nodded yes, Song Wenjian often made such a big move, which naturally disturbed the neighbors, no wonder people would say gossip, and then add fuel to the vinegar, the more they talked, the more mysterious they became.
"I panicked when I heard this, and as soon as the rain stopped, I said goodbye and went home, wanting to do nothing. After all, life is more important than money, and if I fall under the curse of this sword, it will be a big loss. ”
"It's a smart choice." Qi Lu laughed hehehe, "But why did you lie to Sun Guoliang again?" ”
"After I got home, I thought about it and decided to go upstairs to explain it to Lin Cheng and persuade him to dispel the idea of buying Song Wenjian. When I opened the door, I saw Lin Wenyuan coming upstairs, so I casually asked him if he was looking for Lin Cheng. After receiving an affirmative answer, I thought that since Lin Cheng's family had a guest, it would not be too late for me to talk to him tomorrow. Who knew that when the door was about to close, Lin Wenyuan had already knocked on Lin Cheng's door, and after listening to Lin Cheng greet him, I heard Lin Wenyuan ask Lin Cheng before entering the door, and the words clearly reached my ears, which means to ask if the sword has a clue? I was suddenly shocked, and then I realized that Lin Cheng was also a broker, and there was Lin Wenyuan behind him. ”
"Speaking of which, I have a question, Lin Wenyuan is not a rich man as you said, what economic basis does he have to buy a sword? Besides, Lin Cheng is fully capable of buying a sword, why would he do things for Lin Wenyuan, and make such a big detour? Qi Lu raised the doubts in his heart.
"Well, I only thought about it in hindsight." Lin Wenzhe said a little regretfully: "The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, anyway, I knew both of them, so I went directly to Lin Cheng's house to find the two of them in a hurry, and was going to scold these two guys." Unexpectedly, after entering the house, they talked to each other, only to know that after Lin Cheng promised Lin Wenyuan to find a sword, he came to me to lure Sun Guoliang to sell his sword without him. ”
Lin Wenzhe took a breath and said: "This really makes me cry and laugh, but Lin Wenyuan didn't get angry after hearing what happened, and said that this idea is good, let me continue to find Sun Guoliang to implement Lin Cheng's plan." How could I agree, and told them about the Songwen Sword curse. But they didn't seem to be surprised to know about it. Lin Cheng saw that I was unwilling to do this, and raised the remuneration to 20,000. This money is worth nearly half a year's income, and I agreed to continue doing it when I was obsessed with money. ”
There is no need to ask about the rest of the matter, Qi Lu also knew it from Sun Guoliang, and he said to Lin Wenzhe with a smile: "Lin Guoran is the boss, and he is much more generous than me." ”
Lin Wenzhe laughed embarrassedly, Qi Lu pretended not to care and said, "Even if Sun Guoliang believes your words, there are many people who want to buy his sword, and he may not necessarily sell the sword to Lin Cheng." ”
"I told them about this concern at the time, but the two of them said that you can do it, and I don't have to worry about anything else. Afterwards, it was exactly as Lin Cheng said, he spent five million swords to buy it. ”
Qi Lu's brows furrowed after hearing this, and he found that things were getting more and more complicated, there were so many people making up their minds in a cursed sword, could it be that the Songwen Sword contained a secret that was more tempting than death?
Lin Wenzhe said again: "Lin Wenyuan told me in order to make me feel at ease that he had a way to eliminate the curse of Songwen Sword. ”
"What's the method?" Qi Lu hurriedly asked him.
"Then he didn't say anything." Lin Wenzhe said: "But the sword has been in his hands for so long, he really has nothing to do." ”
"You said that the Songwen Sword is in his hand?" Qi Lu's eyes widened, and he asked in surprise, "Didn't the Songwen Sword be stolen in Lin Cheng's hands?" ”
"Hey, hey." Lin Wenzhe sneered and said, "This matter is just hiding from others." After Lin Cheng's sword arrived, he imitated one and put it at home to cover people's eyes and ears, and the real sword was handed over to Lin Wenyuan a long time ago. ”
Qi Lu asked: "Since the real thing is in Lin Wenyuan's hands, what did Lin Cheng die from the curse of Songwen Sword?" ”
"You don't know that. Lin Cheng's death had nothing to do with Song Wenjian. He got cancer five years ago, and last year he died because the cancer was terminally incurable. ”
was terminally ill five years ago, and it seems that there is really no connection between Lin Cheng's death and Song Wenjian. Qi Lu suddenly became interested in Lin Wenyuan, he had the Songwen Sword and was unharmed, there must be someone with profound mana behind him to help him, otherwise how could he dare to buy the sword without fear.
Qi Lu asked some more things related to Song Wenjian, and seeing that he couldn't get more clues from Lin Wenzhe's mouth, he took out his business card and gave it to Lin Wenzhe, asking him to contact him directly if he had any clues in the future.
After coming out of Lin Wenzhe's house, Qi Lu hurriedly called Lao Wu, since Lin Cheng had a fake in his hand, then Lao Wu also ran in Xi'an for nothing, and he wanted to inform Lao Wu to come back early and track down Song Wenjian's whereabouts with him.
Who knew that Lao Wu was not surprised at all after listening to Qi Lu's words, but told him that he had something to do and might not be able to come back in a few days, and ended the call in a hurry.
Qi Lu was suddenly angry, but it was not easy to show it, he drove Ding Xiaolan back to the company with a blushing face. On the way back, a new idea popped into his mind, and he decided to let Liu Chenfei intervene in this matter, and he didn't have to bother to track down Song Wenjian's whereabouts.
